marquis of jingan

Chapter 761

Hearing Zhao Zhuo's scoundrel words, Master Shen's anger surged into his heart in an instant.

This Zhao family is really a new trick, and it is eaten all over the world!
But for myself, there is no better way to take them.

Because the Huaihe Navy's resistance to the Northern Qi Dynasty is a bounden duty bestowed upon them by the imperial court, and no one can hinder the Huaihe Navy from doing this. The prime minister of Zhongshu can't afford this responsibility either!
Master Shen took several deep breaths before he calmed down. He glanced at the soldiers lining up at the gate of the camp, and after being silent for a while, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "In other words, now In the big camp, there is not a complete thousand-household camp?"

Without a complete Thousand-Household Camp, it means that Shen Yi can't use the roster of the Thousand-Household Camp to nod heads, and there is no way to determine whether the Huaihe Navy has received "empty pay".

Zhao Zhuo nodded his head naturally, and said in a low voice: "Master Imperial Envoy, the Northern Qi side is now in a menacing manner. According to our information, in the past few days, there have been more than [-] Qi troops on the north coast of the Huaihe River out of thin air. They Chen Bing is on the north bank, eyeing it like a tiger."

"My father had to deploy troops to deal with it."

Speaking of this, he sighed and said: "Today, there are still four or five thousand households left in the Huaihe Naval Camp in Fengyang Mansion. If the war gets tighter in a few days, I'm afraid there will only be one or two left." A camp of thousands of households is here."

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhuo bowed his head slightly to Shen Yi, cupped his hands and said: "My lord, the front line may be about to fight. According to the general's intention, should the imperial government stop distributing the money for the army, or buy some grain and rice to hurt the wounded?" Medicines, etc., sent to the front line."

Zhao Zhuo paused, and said, "This way, it might be more useful."

Shen Yi glanced at Zhao Zhuo, and then said lightly: "It's His Majesty's intention to reward the army. The young general wants to be more holy, and I'm afraid it's useless to tell this official. I'd better write a letter to Jiankang and talk to Your Majesty." .”

Zhao Zhuo bowed his head slightly and said, "The last general is just giving an opinion to the imperial envoy. Since the imperial envoy does not allow it, then just pretend that the last general has not said anything."

Shen Yi ignored him, glanced at the team that was queuing up to get the money, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then said: "Since the front line is fighting, I, an imperial envoy patrolling the Huaihe Navy, can't just sit idly by, Major General , May I ask where General Zhao is now, can you bring me to meet him?"

"At the very least, I want to know something about the recent situation on the front line, so that even if I go back to Jiankang now, I can still communicate with His Majesty."

Zhao Zhuo lowered his head slightly, clasped his fists and said, "My lord imperial envoy, when a battle starts, the behavior of the commander in the army is a top secret, and the general will not know about it, but what the imperial envoy says, I will find a way to pass it on to my father."

"Your Imperial Envoy can stay in Fengyang Mansion for a while and wait for my father's reply."

After thinking for a while, Master Shen nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll wait for General Zhao at Fengyang Mansion."

After all, he glanced at the awning where the money was still being distributed, and said lightly: "Since the imperial court wants to reward the army, it will not stop distributing money. Please pass it on to the major general. This money is issued by the imperial court to the soldiers. Some people robbed and robbed the rewards of the soldiers."

"As long as the imperial court finds out, they will definitely punish them severely."

Zhao Zhuo bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile, "The general will follow orders."

Seeing the smiling face of the major general of the Huaihe Navy, Shen Yi was quite upset, but now, there was really nothing he could do about him, so he could only grunt, moved a chair, sat under the awning, and supervised these The officers and men of the Huaihe Navy received the money.

Eight taels of silver is almost a year or even a few years of expenses for a family in this era. If a poor family only wants to survive and does not pursue the quality of life, it can even take about ten years!
That's a lot of money.

Therefore, some of the soldiers who came to collect the money trembled with excitement after receiving the money.

But Shen Yi also saw that some of them were a little happy after getting the money, but they were not very excited. After receiving the money, they turned around and left sneakily.

Seeing this, Master Shen just smiled coldly and didn't speak.

In this way, the day passed slowly.

In the evening, Master Shen's coin distribution business was closed, and he personally escorted the silver cart, and they went back to Fengyang Prefecture together.

On the road of Fengyang Mansion, in Shen Yi's carriage, there was a secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs who came with him all the way. Master Shen glanced at him and asked, "Is the plan going well?"

"Don't worry, my lord, there is no problem."

The 20-year-old book office said with a smile: "The ink pad for fingerprinting is mixed with herbal juice, which can wash away the redness, but the blue-green color on the hands will disappear within ten and a half months. No one will take it. got it."

"Someone will definitely claim it."

Master Shen narrowed his eyes and said: "Just look at it, there will definitely be a large number of people who have already received the money tomorrow, and they will come to collect the money a second time."

The secretary's surname is Liu, and he is a helper borrowed from Shen Yi and Zhang Jian. He is really good at settling accounts, and he is a good candidate for "Master". Hearing this, he looked up at Shen Yi, and asked, "My lord, then... What shall we do tomorrow?"

"tomorrow…"

"Let's talk tomorrow."

Master Shen closed his eyes and exhaled a foul breath.

"At this point, we can only take one step at a time."

In fact, whether to send money or not, to Shen Yi, or to the court, it is a trivial matter, not to mention falsely receiving a reward. One million taels of cash, the emperor also spent willingly.

But the problem now is that Zhao's father and son played rogues directly with Shen Yi, avoiding Shen Yi, then there is nowhere to start with Master Shen's errand this time.

If the situation is so deadlocked, and the Zhao family has been leaving Shen Yi alone, then Shen Yi actually has no other choice.

He can only go back to Jiankang.

And when the time comes, for the Great Chen court, the problem of the Zhao Clan can only be a "hard landing".

That will be a huge change. If Da Chen can survive this change, the imperial court will regain control of the Huaihe Navy, and after a year or two of recuperation, they can really look north!

If the "hard landing" fails, the Great Chen court may suffer heavy losses. Whether today's ambitions can continue to exist is an unknown number!
With all sorts of complicated thoughts in mind, Master Shen returned to the palace of imperial envoys in Fengyang Mansion.

And in the study of his imperial envoy Xingyuan, a middle-aged man in his early 30s had been waiting for a long time.

After seeing Shen Yi, the middle-aged man lowered his head slightly, and said, "Fengyang Secretary Luo Yong, meet Si Zheng!"

There is no one else who can address Shen Yi as Si Zheng, but someone from Di Bao Si.

The Secretary of the Di Bao Si, that is, several team leaders originally appointed by Shen Yi.

To be precise, it should be the team leader of the Dibao Division.

But this Luo Yong is no longer the first generation leader of a group, but the second generation.

When Shen Yi set up the Mansion News Agency, he arranged for the first group and the eighth group to stay in Jiankang, and the other groups were distributed all over the country.

And one group and eight groups also have their own emphasis.

One is in charge of Jiankang, and the other is in charge of the state capital near Jiankang.

I was in charge of a group near Jiankang, and then the focus of work gradually shifted to Fengyang Mansion.

Shen Yi nodded, looked at Luo Yong, and asked, "Siwu Luo, how is the situation in Huaibei?"

Luo Yong's skin was rough, and he looked a bit like an ordinary farmer. He lowered his head slightly and said, "Sizheng, to the north of the Huaihe River, a large number of Qi troops have indeed gathered in recent days."

"The number is hard to determine, but there should be 3 to [-] people."

Shen Yi nodded silently and closed his eyes.

He took a deep breath and asked, "Can you find out where Zhao Lu is?"

Luo Yong shook his head slightly, and said with a wry smile: "Sizheng, Fengyang Mansion is almost an iron barrel, it is difficult for us to move around here..."

Master Shen let out a foul breath.

"understood."
