I, Han Gaozu, actually traveled through Song Gaozong?

Chapter 228
Qian Jingzhen, the Duke of Kang, and Qian Miao, the lord of Wuyue, was the consort of Emperor Renzong's Princess Lu. He died in October of the first year of Jingkang and was given posthumously to the Grand Master, King Kuaiji.

He was the old princess's biological husband. The two had a very good relationship and gave birth to four sons and seven daughters in total. The old princess spent 11 years just giving birth to children.

Fortunately, she still lives a long life, otherwise, when she looks back in this life, she will find that she has given birth to no more children.

Among them, the eldest son Qian Chen is the Duke of Rong who came to see him today. As the eldest son of the Qian family, he is also the head of the Qian family. He is also an old man who has experienced four dynasties. He is also the prince Shaobao. The position of Luchuan Army Jiedu Envoy was the same as that of the Third Division of Kaifu Yi.

The second son, Qian Zhen, died on the road while fleeing south with the old princess and the emperor. Because of this, when the old princess was strong and strong a few years ago, she often ran to the palace, not for anything else, but just for money. If Chen seeks more benefits from the title, the bargaining chip is his second son's life.

The third son, Qian Qianxu, and the fourth son, Qian Kai, both hold the post of Jiedu envoy, and both have the qualifications to open the Yitong Sansi. Judging from the three sons of the old princess, the Qian family can already be regarded as a family. The surname of the Song Dynasty is No. 1, not to mention that the Qian family lives up to its name and has the strength of countless mountains of gold and silver.

Think about Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and even Zhang Jun. They have not been out and about for many years, with their heads tied to their belts, before they have earned everything they have today. But the few young masters of the Qian family have been in trouble since they were born. With these things already in place, the end point that everyone dreams of is just the starting point of life in the eyes of others.

Otherwise, he would talk about comparing people to others, which would make people angry.

By the way, the official positions of several people in the Qian family are all false. Although the titles are real, a person can earn more money in one night's sleep than in a year's salary. Therefore, the things the Zhao family gives to the Qian family, It's more like the icing on the cake. The Qian family also knows that Zhao Guan's family is suspicious by nature. After all, before last year, he was a person who didn't even recognize the letters written by his father and brother. Yue Fei, who was promoted by himself, said Those who were demoted were demoted. None of the loyal prime ministers he recognized had a happy ending. Instead, they were recognized as traitors and met an extremely bad end.

Therefore, although they are in Jiangnan, the Qian family will never take the initiative to ask to see Zhao Guan's family if there is nothing important.

But today he came unexpectedly. Not only did he come, but he was also the head of the Qian family. Liu Bang thought about it again and again, but he couldn't guess his purpose after all.

But he finally figured it out. Now that the God of Wealth has come to his door, what if he doesn't cut off his skin and the God of Wealth misunderstands that he is not short of money?
He had already planned to set off, so he patiently ordered:
"Since it is Duke Rong who is asking for an audience, you should be the first to say so. By making people wait for so long, you are really neglecting others. 4"

"When I see the old princess again in the future, she says that I am putting on airs and denying others, and you are a damned person to bear this crime."

The imperial guard was frightened by these words and turned pale. He begged for mercy and confessed several times, then turned back quickly. After a while, he brought the Duke of Rongguo, whom Liu Bang had never met, to the emperor.

"I am the envoy of the Luchuan Army, the envoy of the Taiyi Palace in Chongzhong, and the [-]nd Army of Ningwu and Luzhou, who are here to observe and stay to inherit the Xuanjie Du Qian Chen, and see your majesty."

A little old man, about the same age as Xin Ciying, stooped slightly, paused, and bowed to the emperor.

While bowing, Qian Chen thought to himself that it was not good. Not only did Zhao Guan's family not spare him the courtesy, he also allowed himself to go through these cutscenes without saying a word...

It seems that his mother really offended him in Lin'an and is now using her power towards him!
Qian Chen didn't know that Liu Bang had already behaved very politely.

If it were anyone else, such as Zhang Jun or someone else, who dared to talk so much nonsense in front of him, he would have interrupted them long ago, and then rewarded them with the comment "Don't talk nonsense, and let it go quickly".

That is to say, the old guy was rich, so the emperor became more patient. He let him finish his words without interrupting him. This was not politeness from His Majesty the Emperor. What could be considered politeness from the emperor?
The two of them had their own thoughts. In terms of generation, Qian Chen was several generations older than the current Zhao Guan family, and the two families were related since the emperor went to Jiangnan...

Let's put it this way, when the city of Kaifeng was destroyed, everything worth paying for was snatched away by the Jin people. The emperor traveled south alone. In these years, he built a new palace, renovated Lin'an City, and renovated Lin'an City. The Sanya Forbidden Army recruited 10 people from scratch. Where did the money come from?

It’s not something his Qian family fully supports!
When the two of them wanted to talk, they naturally talked about family matters. Even if they were not family matters, they were things that were not worthy of comment to outsiders. All the generals and officials kept their distance. Even Huang Yanjie, who had been waiting closely at his side, stood up at this time. The distance of ten feet eliminated any possibility of having ears through the wall.

"Well, I didn't know Duke Rong wanted to see me, but is there anything urgent?"

Liu Bang got straight to the point, so Qian Chen naturally didn't laugh and said:
"I have come specially to congratulate Your Majesty on defeating Bozhou and killing Li Qiong, a serious enemy of his."

"Oh?" Liu Bang was a little confused, "I'm afraid the news of the destruction of Bozhou City has not spread across the Huaihe River. Duke Rong Guo's eyes and ears are really good."

Qian Chen didn't want to hide it at all. After all, even if he flew, he couldn't rush from Linhai to Bozhou so quickly, so he said:

"I dare not deceive you. Since my mother returned to Linhai from Lin'an, I immediately set off. However, the officials moved very quickly. They passed Bozhou in ten months. It was only today that I was able to catch up."

What he said was interesting. Liu Bang smiled and said, "Then you said you came specially to congratulate me on taking Bozhou."

Qian Chen didn't change his expression: "It's true. The official personally led the king's army to the north and was invincible wherever he went. The destruction of Bozhou City is inevitable, and the death of Li Qiong is inevitable. Everyone in the world I know, even though I am ignorant, I still understand.”

Admiring his ability to flatter, Liu Bang felt a little comfortable:

"Then, why don't you give me some congratulatory gifts?"

As soon as these words came out, Qian Chen was stunned on the spot... Zhao Guanjia, why did he say what he said?

Liu Bang thought that he was too direct and frightened the old man, so he stopped saying anything and waited for him to realize it on his own.

Everyone thought that these people who were extremely wealthy and wealthy were some elm-headed people. Liu Bang would not simply think that this old boy was able to control the Qian family for more than ten years, so that he would not retreat but advance, it was all thanks to the blessing of his ancestors .

Sure enough, Qian Chen also laughed. He was choked by the emperor's direct words. After all, when the emperor wanted money, he usually had to go through a hundred and eighty detours. Today, he was so direct, and he looked very much like his subordinates. The appearance of people when they go to collect rent and loans.

"Last time, my mother told me what happened when she was in Lin'an. She said that the three armies were moving together and the pressure on the officials was too great, so she asked for some silver to reward the soldiers for the officials."

"This is something that should be done, but my mother only wants 10,000+ taels. How can we do this when there are so many people along the Huaihe River and in various branches of the Han army!"

"I asked my family members to prepare some money from shops in various places and sent it to the officials."

The kind words warmed the winter, and Liu Bang was so warm that he was almost moved to tears.

Loyal minister, this old boy is really a loyal minister!

Liu Ziyu and Hu Quan wrote letters almost every day to save some money. They said that the boat tax saved last year had almost been spent. This year, the waterway to the north was cut off, and their income was greatly reduced.

No, the God of Wealth has arrived.

Holding Qian Chen's hand, Liu Bang looked sentimental: "I wonder how much money I brought here?"

Qian Chen seemed to be infected by his happiness and didn't even care that he changed his seniority:

"Not too much, not too much, three thousand catties of grain and grass, five hundred pigs and sheep each, and 30 copper coins."

That's not much to say...

Liu Bang took a breath and said, "If you make your son a prince, he will also become a prince!"

After saying that, he estimated his age and then said: "If you have a granddaughter of the right age, please send her to the palace. When I return to Lin'an, I will marry her."

He finally understood that among his women, only Zhongyu was pregnant, and he was just in his prime, so he didn't know how many more children he would have in the future.

This kind of vague rhetoric is most likely to be associated with terms such as 'queen', 'prince' and 'future emperor', and this is currently the best bargaining chip he can offer.

As expected, Qian Chen was extremely happy, but he said modestly:

"Why do officials need to praise things that are within their duties?"

"I just hope that your majesty will remember that my mother is old and cannot understand many things. Don't worry too much about her, don't blame her... In this case, I will be satisfied."

These words made Liu Bang stop smiling. He looked at the cheerful old man and secretly reminded himself:
The old boy is not a mediocre person.

If he were a mediocre person, how could he think that he would blame the old princess? Either he had particularly clear information, or he had particularly clear judgment.

More likely, it's a bit of both.

"If we don't speak the same language as one family, do you have any other requests?" Qian Chen was still smiling, as if he didn't see the change in the emperor's expression:
"If there is more... When the official family enters Bianjing in the future, all kinds of livelihoods in the city will not be cut off. If there is any use for the Qian family, please give orders to the official family."

When he wanted to do business in Bianjing City, he spoke tactfully, as if they were not going to do business, but to do themselves a favor.

This old boy is unfathomable.

He already has a preliminary evaluation of this person in his mind, but he is here to show his good will after all. It is not like he has never seen such a big bettor. The No. 1 bet on him back then was his. The old father-in-law and Lu Zhi's biological father.

"Rong Guo made it public, so I took note of it."

The two of them laughed louder and louder, making the people around them pay attention, but they didn't know that these two people had encountered something happy.

……

Qian Chen from outside Taikang City sent a gift, and got the answer he wanted.

In Bianjing City, in the Zichen Palace.

Although Wanyan Wushu respected Ha Michi very much, and although he knew that this military advisor would never do anything without a clear purpose, he had just had several Han generals killed, and he himself said that "the Han people are cunning." Such words come.

Now, the person recommended by Hami Chi is another Han Chinese.

Therefore, Wanyan Wushu did not show too much enthusiasm, and even showed a bit of indifference:

"If we are talking about military matters, I am here with thousands of generals, so there is no reason to ask questions from a Han."

"If we are talking about political affairs, then the military advisor should take him to see the emperor. Why bring him here? There are one hundred thousand soldiers and horses in Bianjing City, and there is not a morsel of rice left for idlers."

Hamichi did not feel dissatisfied: "We neither talk about military affairs nor political affairs."

"Then, there is no need to introduce the military advisor."

This masked old man was not as restrained as others in front of Wanyan Wushu, on the contrary, he looked very relaxed.

"It's because I didn't explain it in detail enough. It should be said that we need to talk about military affairs as well as political affairs."

"This Mr. Qian is from Jiangnan Qian's family. If Marshal can't remember, it was his family who undertook the business of building the Huining Mansion in Shangjing back then."

Wanyan Aguda founded the country in Huining Prefecture 27 years ago to fight against the Liao Dynasty. Later, he fought against the Liao Kingdom and won consecutive battles. After plundering the property of the Liao Kingdom, he built the capital on a large scale. At that time, the craftsmen of the Song Dynasty were working for Huizong in Bianjing. The emperor tried to build a garden, and the Jurchens could fight wars, but they couldn't build houses.

In this way, there was an opportunity for the Qian family to take over this big job. When Hamichi said this, Wanyan Wushu naturally remembered that his mansion in Huining Mansion was built by this family. of.

"That……"

"Mr. Qian knows that the fourth prince is worried about state affairs. He is leading the troops alone in Kaifeng Mansion and there is no one to relieve his worries."

"He's coming..." "I'm coming..."

The Qian family members and Hamichi spoke together: "They are just sharing the worries of the Fourth Prince."

Wanyan Wushu had already vaguely felt something, and his whole person suddenly became cheerful, and the flesh on his face kept shaking:

"But I don't know how this gentleman should share my worries for the king?"

The man made a bow and said: "My surname is Qian, and my name is Kai. I can't afford the fourth prince's husband."

"To share the worries is actually a bit exaggerated. To be precise, I am here to reward the Fourth Prince."

"After all, I can't help in the war, and I can't get involved in anything else. I'm just a bit of a fool. I hope the Fourth Prince won't dislike me."

Wanyan Wushu waved his hand: "I am not a person who likes to beat around the bush. If you don't like it, it depends on Mr. Qian's sincerity."

Qian Kai pursed his lips and smiled:

"Not too much, not too much, seven thousand catties of grain and grass, five hundred pigs and sheep each, and... 50 copper coins."

Such a generous gesture made even these people who were accustomed to the wealth of the Song Dynasty still couldn't help but take a breath.

Before the "Tan Yuan Alliance" between the Song and Liao Dynasties, Emperor Zhenzong told Cao Li, who was in charge of the negotiations, "As long as the land is not ceded and peace can be negotiated, the Liao Kingdom can agree even if it requires millions of dollars." '

When Kou Zhun found out about this, he called Cao Li over and said, "Although the official has an agreement of one million, if it exceeds 30, I will chop off your head!"

The last condition was that the Liao State was equally eager to seek peace. If the lion dared to open its mouth, the Song State would provide the Liao State with "military support expenses" every year, a total of 30 silver and silk.

Cao Li was so happy that he went back to deliver the order. When he was invited to see him, Emperor Zhenzong was having a meal, so he asked his chamberlain to ask him what he wanted to say. Cao Li gestured with three fingers proudly, frightening the chamberlain, and went back to tell him Emperor Zhenzong said: "300 million taels."

300 million a year, Zhenzong was so scared that he almost didn't give up on the spot. After knowing that it only cost 30 yuan, he was so happy that he rewarded Cao Li heavily.

Yes, Da Song is rich and has always been rich.

When it has money, all the surrounding countries will look like country people and bumpkins in front of it.

When Song and Jin jointly attacked Liao, they agreed to return the sixteen states of Yanyun to Song. The condition was that Song would transfer the annual coins given to Liao to Jin.

Wanyan Aguda was brave enough to mention this at the time. After all, he had never seen the Song army take action, so he didn't know the details.

Secondly, 30 was too much. For the Jurchens at that time, it was too much.

But now, the Qian family opened their mouths and gave out an amount that was almost double that of the old coins...

What do you think of these people?
Wanyan Wushu is also not a fool, he asked while being happy:
"What are Mr. Qian's conditions?"

Qian Kai handed over his hand: "The sea route between the two countries has been cut off, and many of the Qian family's businesses have nowhere to go."

"Of course, I would like to ask the fourth prince to give me a way to make it easier for us. It will be convenient for both of us."

With the sea transportation route cut off, the Song Dynasty only lost half of its shipping tax, and businessmen only lost half of their business.

But they can't go north, they can still go south.

The Jin Kingdom was different. Without the Song Kingdom, there was no other place that could provide them with silk, tea, porcelain, and books. This happened to be the biggest source of support for the peace negotiation faction in the DPRK, and it was also the one that Wanyan Wushu was under the greatest pressure. origin of.

Nowadays, it is really a solution that has the best of both worlds.

The fourth prince agreed readily without even thinking about it.

　May everyone have good health and everything goes well in September
