At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 44: Slow down and figure it out

As soon as they arrived at the city gate, they saw Mr. Yang coming in a hurry, with a worried look on his face.

Zhao Shi went up to greet her, saluted and said, "My child has seen your empress."

"My son!" Yang rushed over and hugged Zhao Shi, crying loudly.

She was frightened all the way but couldn't let it out. When she saw Zhao Shi, Yang couldn't hold it in any longer.

Zhao Shi said: "Mom, the child has recovered. Don't be sad, lest you hurt your body."

Yang held Zhao Shi's shoulders and looked at him carefully for a long time. Seeing his energetic appearance, he broke down in tears and smiled, saying, "My ancestors bless me, my eldest brother has turned the corner, Zhao Shi should not give up!"

Zhao Shi said: "The child is unfilial, and the tired mother is worried."

"Is it what Big Brother wants to be sick? It'll be fine if he's fine." Yang said.

After the mother and son exchanged a few words, the officials came up to pay their respects and then turned around.

Seeing that Zhao was sweating, Yang said distressedly: "Now that the situation of the court has improved, why not take a car?"

Zhao Shi said: "Now the armies are fighting in the heat of the summer. How can children be afraid of the heat? If the superiors work and the subordinates work, obscene customs will become a reality, and the country will be defeated and the people will be in chaos. This is the beginning of it."

Yang looked back at Lu Xiufu, and said, "It's all thanks to your teaching, Your Majesty has never neglected his studies."

Lu Xiufu said: "I am ashamed that I have not taught much. It is all because of your majesty's intelligence."

Zhao Shi couldn't help but smile when he saw more than a dozen maids following Yang, "Your Majesty, what a grand display."

Yang glanced sideways and said: "She and others are all lonely people who cannot make a living, so they are included in the palace and have the right to make a living."

Zhao Shi said: "It's just that the palace doesn't have enough money. I'm afraid I might have wronged them."

"Sooner or later you will die in exile, and you will always stutter when you enter the palace. How can you expect so much?" Yang said.

That's true, no matter how poor the palace is, I have never heard of anyone starving to death, except King Chu. King Chu has such a slim waist, so many people starve to death in the palace.

When they reached Xingzai during the chat, Yang asked, "Where are the Lu Cai family and the Wang family?"

Lu Xiufu replied: "Zhuo Jing is ill, so he is recuperating at home."

Zhao was afraid that the Yang family would be angry, so he quickly added: "The child was seriously ill for three days, and Mrs. Lu was unable to take care of her, so she turned the crisis around. Mrs. Wang... Mrs. Wang..."

Zhao Shi was heart-broken and said: "We launched a surprise attack on the Japanese invaders. The boy was supervising the battle in front of the battle formation in the city. He was ambushed by the rebels. Wang was killed in order to protect the boy from a cold arrow."

"What?" Yang stood up, snapping the case, and said in a cold voice: "Xing Zai was attacked, what a huge thing, and you actually concealed it?"

"I am guilty." The ministers immediately bowed down.

The emperor was young, and the queen mother was in charge of the affairs. According to the rules, all matters in the court were decided by the queen mother. Because the emperor was unusually mature, the queen mother took Prince Ning to supervise the country from behind, but this did not mean that the queen mother lost the corresponding power.

Zhao Shi tried to smooth things over again and said, "My wife was attacked towards the sun, but the child didn't express her anger. How can my mother express her anger?"

"How can we confuse it with one another?" Yang's face remained indifferent and said, "I am a palace lady and my ears are insignificant. Life and death are insignificant. Your Majesty is responsible for the country. How can you ignore your safety?"

"Mother." Zhao Shi shook Yang's hand and said softly, "My child is hungry, I want my mother to cook by myself."

"That's all, that's it for today, let's talk about it later." Yang pulled Zhao Shi back.

After the Queen Mother and the Emperor left, Chen Yizhong sighed with emotion: "The parents love their son and have far-reaching plans. Now the Queen Mother dotes on your Majesty, which is not a blessing!"

Chen Wenlong retorted: "Your Majesty's determination is different from ordinary people's. How can he be shaken by doting?"

Whispering in the front, the mother and son in the back also have endless things to say.

Zhao asked about the current situation of his younger brother and sister, and then asked: "When the child recovered from his illness, the report was sent immediately by speedboat. Why didn't mother receive the news?"

"Maybe I missed it." Yang said, "I came here from the sea, so it is normal to miss the news."

Zhao Shi said thoughtfully: "The inn should be restored to avoid delays in the transmission of news."

In the past, there were three types of post stations: foot, horse, and express. Express was the fastest and could travel four hundred miles a day. It was only for military use. If you add a gold medal, it could travel five hundred miles a day.

In this case, it only takes one and a half days to deliver the news to Fuzhou, instead of the current four days.This can really save lives at critical moments.

Yang said: "The post station costs a lot of money, but the venue can be used as before, but the expenses for recruiting personnel, purchasing horses, and repairing the venue must be high. Is it possible for the imperial court to bear it?"

"In order to spread the news, the burden is huge, but also planning." Zhao thought for a while, then went to the front to discuss with the ministers.

"Your Majesty, the imperial court cannot afford it." Chen Yizhong said bluntly.

Zhao Shi said: "News is the prerequisite for all decisions, and I believe we should try our best to recover."

Chen Yizhong said: "Don't talk about the successor, just talk about the present. Where does the horse come from?"

Zhao couldn't help but look to the north.

What the station needs is good military horses. Given the current situation, it can only count on the friendly sponsorship of the Mongolian Railway, which is too difficult.

At this time, Zhang Shuangguo said: "You don't necessarily need a post station, you can also set up a pigeon shop."

Compared with raising horses, the cost of raising pigeons is obviously much lower, and messages can be transmitted faster.

Zhao Shi was overjoyed, and said, "Please explain it in detail."

Zhang Shuangguo replied: "When the imperial dynasty first set up a post station, they also set up a pigeon shop to deliver urgent messages as quickly as possible.

It's just that Lin'an City was destroyed, the central city closed the city, and local people were scattered. Pigeon shops in various places were also inevitable. Du Tiju was nowhere to be seen, so he was taking care of this matter. "

"Good!" Zhao Shi praised: "With the Pigeon Shop, there will be no hindrance in the transmission of news. Your contribution is not small."

Zhang Shuangguo replied: "This is Du Ti's suggestion. I dare not take credit for it."

"They are all under the Imperial City Division. They should be one body. How can we distinguish each other? When things are accomplished, there will be rewards." Zhao Shi drew the pie, then looked at Chen Yizhong and said: "The central committee should do its best to help."

"I obey the imperial edict." Chen Yizhong responded.

Raising pigeons is much cheaper than raising horses, and the center can still support it with gritted teeth.

After settling his concerns, Zhao asked about the situation on the front line again.

Because of the gunpowder deterrent, most of the Yuan army shrank, and Jiang Zheng basically marched and received.

"Because the Yuan captives are rampant, everywhere is ruined, and many people have fled. There is insufficient manpower and material resources to support the army, so preparations have to be made from the rear. I am doing my best to support it." Chen Yizhong said: "In addition, the officials have fled and no one is in charge. Liu Shiyong is assisted by Lin Jingxi, which is acceptable. It is really difficult for Jiang Zheng to maintain it."

Insufficient talents were a major problem, and Zhao Shi could only shake his head and sigh, feeling helpless.

When he was in trouble, the Yang family sent someone to ask Zhao Shi to go back for dinner, but Zhao Shi said "Excuse me, sir" and ran away.

Back at the back, Mrs. Yang had already prepared four dishes and one soup to improve her son's life.

After dinner, Yang asked about the recent political affairs again. Zhao talked about the land distribution from local tyrants to the establishment of the inn. Although it was very simple, it took more than an hour.

After listening, Yang said: "My eldest brother's plans are all very good, but if he is too impatient, he will rush to fight like a Yuan raider.

Not to mention that the son of a rich man cannot sit down in the hall, but that the Supreme Being has never been seen charging forward in ancient times!
Isn't this because Big Brother is too eager?

The three princes in the court are unprepared, the six ministries are not in order, and the same is true in the local area. The eldest brother will give away the fields today and clean up the associations tomorrow. Then he will issue rice coupons and set up inns. How can the princes be distracted?
Things should be divided into priorities. If you do it slowly, it will be a big benefit; if you do it hastily, it will be a big harm. Wang Jiefu has learned from his mistakes and must pay attention to it. "

Zhao subconsciously asked: "Who is Wang Jiefu?"

Yang replied: "Wang Jiefu, whose name was Anshi, was the prime minister during the Shenzong period. He carried out reforms in order to enrich the country and strengthen the people. His original intention was very good, but he failed in haste and appointed people inappropriately, which harmed the people.

The details here, maybe you can let Mr. Lu talk about it, it will be beneficial, and the elder brother can learn from it. "

Zhao thought about it seriously and found that Yang was right. He was indeed too impatient.

"It's not because of the child's nature, but it's because the Yuan captives oppressed him too much." Zhao Shi said with emotion.

Yang said: "Three feet of ice is not a day's cold. How can the restoration of the country be between dynasties and the past? At this time, there is a stalemate. The dynasty is weak and the Yuan Dynasty is strong. It is more important to keep calm and not to act blindly."

"Children need to be taught." Zhao Shi said seriously.
