Water Margin farming to become powerful

At the same time as Liu Guangshi took action, in mid-April, Lehe, as Sun Xin's peace envoy, also went to Bianliang to meet with Song officials.

Although Sun Xin's Supervisory Committee seems to be a group that is sure to make profits in the entire world situation, the war that has lasted for several years has still caused damage to the entire Dengzhou economic system.

Dengzhou is now an actual industrial economy, with a large number of farmers growing cash crops such as cotton and linen. However, since the beginning of the war, the sales of various industrial products have been greatly reduced, although Shandong's grain output is enough to feed the local people in Shandong. , but the real economic impact still caused a substantial reduction in Dengzhou’s fiscal and tax revenue.

Now, with the forced support of the national debt model created by Sun Xin, Lehe was able to mobilize so much wealth to Sun Xin so that he could use troops abroad.

But in fact, as the chief financial manager of Dengzhou, Lehe supervises the positions of the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister. He can only have a headache every day looking at the financial statements handed out one after another.

Even if Sun Xin has very strong management capabilities for the Supervisory Committee, he cannot violate the entire industrial group within the Supervisory Committee.

The reason why Sun Xin sent Le He as envoy to Dengzhou this time was because he was someone in the entire Dengzhou faction who had a clear tendency to compromise with Zhao Ji. If he sent a slightly stronger person, I'm afraid everyone in the Dengzhou faction would feel that Sun Xin is fooling them.

But even though Lehe came with sincerity and thought about the difficulties he might face, when he actually came to Bianliang, he was still shocked by the situation in Bianliang City.

People all over the city are in danger, but Zhao Ji is still stubbornly unwilling to negotiate.

Zhao Ji sent Wang Fu to lead the negotiations with Lehe. When this guy opened his mouth, he accused the Supervisory Committee of various mistakes, which made Lehe and the cadres he brought with him feel angry.

Lehe soon realized that this guy just wanted to delay the meeting, so he hurriedly sent a letter to Sun Xin.

Sun Xin laughed and said nothing after learning about it.

Reply and tell Lehe to wait first.

Le He understood this clearly, so in the following days, he directly responded forcefully to the provocations from Zhao Ji and others.

Wang Fu asked the Supervisory Council to give up all the cities taken from the Jurchens.

Lehe responded directly with a sneer: "These cities were obtained by us and the thieves. You negotiated with the thieves and lost the hope of the world. Why do you ask my supervisory committee to ask for the city?"

"If you, the Song Army, had the ability to take over a city and a pond from the Jurchens, I, the Supervisory Council, would never take it from you. Unfortunately, you only retreated from Yanshan to the south of the Yellow River."

"All the areas south of the Yellow River were conquered by the Supervisory Committee. Now you are not satisfied with negotiating with you. Do you want me to wait until I raise troops to Bianliang City like the Jurchens before you realize your repentance?

Lehe was always a smart person. Although the ruling party has been much calmer in recent years, when it comes to making waves, he grew up in Fireworks Alley. Wang Fu and others are really no match for him.

This is especially true for the young cadres of the Supervisory Committee under Le He. Half of these people came from universities in the Supervisory Committee, and the other half only got the opportunity to climb up the ladder in Shandong. They have a natural sense of belonging to the Supervisory Committee and believe that they belong to the Supervisory Committee. The system is superior, but there is no respect for the Song Dynasty.

Sun Xin did enough negative publicity about the Song Dynasty in Shandong. Various newspapers in Shandong criticized and analyzed the Song Dynasty from the perspective of the system, the appointment and dismissal of officials, and the sentiments of the people. All cadres and people living in Shandong I have already memorized these contents.

The officials of the Song Dynasty also wanted to debate the scriptures with these young officials using the principles of kings, kings and ministers, but they did not expect that the other party would directly quote the scriptures, tell all the unsatisfactory things about the Song Dynasty in various ways, and directly bring the big officials who were brought to debate with them. Song officials were speechless.This group of officials from the Song Dynasty was really unexpected. How come these people from Shandong all seemed to have taken a shot in the arm, and yet their criticism of the Song Dynasty was not unintentional. You don’t have to dig deep for dirty information about the Lord, the God of Gaoliang River, and the Song Dynasty. There is a lot of it in just a random area.

In an instant, Wang Fu's original idea of ​​using this debate to build public opinion in the Song Dynasty came to nothing.

They did not have the guts to spread the words of Supervisory Committee officials from Shandong who refuted them, and even sealed all the records of their conversations. They knew that if these contents were to be spread, it would really make Zhao Ji lose his face to the ground.

However, this was the end of the Supervisory Committee's struggle. Even if Lehe and the others were not inferior to the Song Dynasty in debate, after all, Bianliang was still within the Song Dynasty. What Lehe and the others said could not be spread at all except to Wang Fu and others. stay home.

Zhao Ji may have been annoyed by what Le He and the others said. Within a few days, various rumors about the unfavorable situation of the Supervisory Committee began to spread in Bianjing City.

Some people swore that the Supervisory Committee simply wanted to take the opportunity to rebel. Although Sun Xin had attacked the Jurchens so that Zhao Ji could not connect them with the Jurchens, Zhao Ji still came up with a strange idea and directly spread rumors about Sun Xin's Supervisory Committee. Demand compensation from various places in the Song Dynasty.

Instantly, public opinion was in an uproar.

The people south of the Yellow River have long been complaining about Zhao Ji's various extortionate taxes.

When Zhao Ji collected money and grain, he always deliberately emphasized that the taxes collected were for conquering the Liao Dynasty or fighting against the Jurchens.

This made the people of the Song Dynasty quite dissatisfied with Zhao Ji and the Song Dynasty court, but they also felt resentful towards the Jurchens and Liao people who had repeatedly violated them from the south and had to pay a lot of money.

Originally, the people in Bianliang City felt that Sun Xin, as a Han, was able to defeat the Jurchens, which was a bad breath for the Han people. However, as soon as the rumors spread by Zhao Ji and Wang Fu came out, the people's originally positive evaluation of the Supervisory Committee was reversed. .

Especially since everyone knows that the negotiators of the Supervisory Committee were in Bianliang City at this time, this story of taking advantage of the national crisis of the Song Dynasty to demand compensation is even more true.

"Then Sun Xin is obviously a son of the Han family, so why does he come to harm the Han people?"

"If you say that Han people don't harm Han people, then why did the Han people in Liao have any conscience towards the people of Song Dynasty? Since Sun Xin had the opportunity to make money, would he give up?"

"Sun Xin and his family are not even from the north. They are originally descendants of Qiongzhou. Now that they have become successful, they don't even want to be members of the clan."

"How can you say that the Supervisory Board is doing things for the people of Zhuangke, but in the end, it is not a murderer?"

For a time, there were many people who cursed Sun Xin. Especially at this time, Wang Fu sent people to collect taxes from the people. This tax was actually used to pay the Jurchens' city redemption fee, but How do people know this?It was just that Sun Xin sent someone to ask for money, and the court wanted to collect money from the people and give it to him.

The rumor was vivid, saying that people from the Shandong sect were sitting in the Bianliang Yamen. Every time they received money, they had to check the quality. If the money was not of good quality, they would send it back and ask for it to be collected again.

In an instant, the public opinion of Sun Xin changed greatly.
