Compete for the Song Dynasty

Hearing that Bantou Yang asked him to lead the way, Zhang Zai also granted Bantou Yang a ten-day holiday, and Bantou Yang was overjoyed.The three of them set off on the road, and after walking for a few hours, they found a place on the river beach under the shade of a tree. They needed to drink even if they were tired, so Bantou Yang talked a lot when he was free.

Bantou Yang, 50 years old, was originally from Yanzhou. His parents settled here when they came to Danzhou due to the war. However, there are still relatives and friends in Yanzhou.Speaking of his relatives and friends, Bantou Yang said that he has a cousin who is still in Yanzhou and is now the wife of the county magistrate.He also said that the son of Yanzhou County Magistrate is also a student of Zhang County Magistrate in this county.

He Libo joked, could it be that your boss is also nepotistic?Team leader Yang laughed, neither admitting nor denying it.But when it comes to Zhang Zai, the head of Yang's team doesn't admire him, and he also said that his brother-in-law is the county magistrate just like Zhang Zai, and also serves as "official affairs to persuade farmers"

Wang Pang was getting annoyed by the official titles of the Song Dynasty, so he asked Ban Yang to talk.

It turns out that the prefectures and counties in the Song Dynasty, as well as the transfer envoys at the road level, and some criminals and prisons, etc. were all titled "persuading farmers".Transshipment envoys, criminal prisons, prefectures of a certain level have the title of "persuading farmers", general judges have the title of "persuading farmers", and county magistrates have the title of "persuading farmers".This official business of persuading farmers mainly has four responsibilities: 1. Educate the people and change their customs. 2. Cultivate according to the time, and do not miss crop planting. 3. Prosecuting officials and handling field lawsuits. 4. Advanced agricultural technology. [

The king was listening, and he saw that He Libo was more serious than him, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Wang Pang asked: "Brother He is so interested in the official culture of the Central Plains."

He Libo said: "To tell you the truth, I always have a vague feeling that one day my people will have their own dynasty."

The first two of Yang's squad said that they knew it was inconvenient to listen to it, so they led the three of them to the river, and Wang He Libo sat down under the shade of a tree, taking out dry food and eating briefly. chat.

Wang Pang said: "Since my elder brother has this heart, I will return to the Liao Kingdom when the time is right. Even if it is not against the Liao Kingdom to get an official position based on my elder brother's qualifications, it will be good for protecting the people."

He Libo said little by little: "My people are all people who have not been registered in the Liao Dynasty. Although they are in the Liao Kingdom, they have been bullied many times." They were all confirmed by him.

Seeing that the opportunity was almost up, Wang Pang said: "Brother, you have trusted my younger brother. You can go back and have a look when you return to Beijing this time. If elder brother can tell you in detail, maybe younger brother can help elder brother with some tricks."

He Libo looked at Wang Pang gratefully, patted Wang Pang's shoulder with his big hand, and said: "I have been in the Song Dynasty for several years, and I wanted to learn from Master Di, but I was unlucky, but unfortunately Zhongzhi is very fortunate to be able to explain you, brother. Let me just say it today."

"Since Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji destroyed Bohai, some Jurchens moved south with Bohai people and were incorporated into Liao nationality. They are called "mature Jurchens"; those are the rulers of Liao Dynasty. They are ours if they stay in their hometowns and do not enter Liao nationality. People of the tribe. Since the Tang Dynasty, they have been called Heishui Mohe. They live in the Heilongjiang area and make a living by fishing and hunting. The rulers of the Liao Dynasty have long asked for pearls and "Haidongqing" (a kind of eagle) for hunting. Imposing taxes and humiliating Chinese women.

Later, some members of the Magyar family (the ancient Magyar people, namely the Hungarians) moved westward, and then they surrendered to the rule of the Liao Kingdom. I just didn’t want to be angry, so I left my hometown and went all the way south to the Song Dynasty.Sooner or later I will go back! "He Li Bo clenched his fists after he finished speaking.

Wang Pang clapped his hands on the heads of his group, and said firmly and encouragingly, "Brother, I support you. You need money to fight the war. When we do a big business, I will help the elder brother return home to recruit troops."

He Libo excitedly held Wang's hand and said with a slightly choked voice, "Brother, I am Wanyan impeaching Libo, and I will definitely fulfill the important task of my ancestors."

"You, you, you, brother, what's your name?" Wang Pang's eyes widened in surprise.

He Libo said: "When I go back, I will call Wanyan Libo!"

Wang Pang's ambivalence was hard to express. He asked, "Is there a Wanyan Aguda in the Dajia clan?"

He Libo scratched his head, "Well, I really don't have one. Aguda, Aguda, that's a good name. He's upright and has a backbone, and we'll beat anyone who bullies us! In the future, when I have a child, I must call it this name."

Wang Pang grinned, and said half mockingly, half mockingly, "All right, then I'll be his adoptive father." He Libo laughed loudly, as if he had already had a son, saying that it was necessary.Wang Pang was even more helpless. Originally Yuexia became the Queen of Xixia, which was enough for him to be entangled. Now, if He Libo really Wanyan Agu beat his father, he would die.

With Yang Bantou leading the way, the three arrived in Yanzhou in less than two days. With Hengshan as the boundary, the northwest belongs to Xixia, and the south belongs to Song Dynasty, which belongs to Yongxing Army Road and Suide Army in Yan'an Prefecture.Yanzhou was a border town where Song and Xixia fought.The highest military command of the Song Army on the Northwest Front was located in Yanzhou City. Fan Yong once issued orders and dispatched troops here. here.

After Li Yuanhao's death, two-year-old Li Liangzuo succeeded to the throne, that is, Xia Yizong was young in the past ten years, and his mother, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, were under the dictatorship of Xia Yizong.At that time, Liao Xingzong of the Liao Dynasty attacked Xixia again, and finally Xixia surrendered to the Liao Dynasty.The Empress Dowager Muzang was busy with lewdness and lust, colluding with outsiders many times, among which Li Shougui and Chi Duoji competed for favor many times. [

Wuzang Yepang was busy arranging power. After the crime, Li Shougui killed the Queen Mother and Chi Duoji, and was also killed by Wuzang Yepang afterwards.Wuzang Yepang betrothed his daughter to Xia Yizong to control Xia Yizong.Thinking about such a chaotic court, how could they have the intention to invade foreign races.Therefore, in recent years, Xixia and Song Dynasty have generally lived in peace.

When Wang Pang arrived in Yanzhou, he first found a residence in the mansion shop, and entrusted Bantou Yang to bring his name card.If there is such a relationship, it is not a bad idea to pay a visit.He also inquired with He Libo about the rumors about Liang's daughter on the border, finally heaved a sigh of relief, it turned out that although this Liang's daughter had the same surname as Yuexia, she was not Yuexia, but her daughter-in-law who had no hidden rumours.

Liang's daughter is Han, but she was born beautiful. She married into Meizang Yepang's family when she was 13 years old.His elder brother tried to gain fame in the Song Dynasty, but was accused of being married to Xixia by someone in his family, so he was deposed, and was later found out by Yuexia, Liang Yibu, who was named Liang Yi.Wang Pang breathed a sigh of relief.But it's still sad, if Liang's daughter is really Yuexia, at least she knows that Yuexia is safe, but at this moment, her life and death seem to be uncertain.

After a few days in Yanzhou, Wang Pang discovered that Xixia has the Hexi Corridor, the main commercial route along the Silk Road, and the country is only rich in animal husbandry, so there is a large demand for grain, tea and some handicrafts;

In addition to being eaten by the Xixia people, Xixia Qingbai salt was mainly used for official trade with the Song Dynasty, Liao Dynasty, and Jin Dynasty. Among them, it was shipped most to the Guanzhong area of ​​the Song Dynasty, and a large amount of grain was exchanged for it.For this reason, the Song court prohibited Xixia from importing green salt, and Song people could only make huge profits through smuggling imports.

Wang Pang also found that the land around the prefectures and counties was mostly barren, and occasionally some farmers had to maintain it as a last resort. Those with a little physical and mental strength wandered back and forth across the border, smuggling and selling some green salt, horses, and grain.

Ordinarily, the interior of Xixia is so chaotic, the border should be relatively safe, but it was only when they came that they discovered that it was a mess.The soldiers guarding the border colluded with fornication and trafficking, and the soldiers on the Xixia side were more like bandits. Suddenly, a group came, robbed the surrounding people of their finances, trampled on the land, turned around and ran away.

They were originally robbed by bandits, and they had no intention of fighting, so they just wanted to get pocket money.The Xixia soldiers also knew that they couldn't fight. Seeing that there were many soldiers in the Song Dynasty, they didn't want to do much.The soldiers of the Song Dynasty didn't want to fight either, as long as they mixed their pay and money to settle things down, that would be fine.This is unlucky for the people around the state and county.

Anyone who is young and daring puts his head on his belt and does some smuggling for profit.Those without this condition can only guard the thin land, farming while worrying about being robbed of their rations.

Wang Pang must not be able to do this smuggling business.After all, he is considered half of the court. If he is reported, it will not only be his own head, but also implicate his family.

Seeing the state of the border, Wang Pang didn't know where to start.On this day, the two received an invitation from the county magistrate Zhong Yi, and were about to visit the county government office. They had just walked out of the gate of the mansion when they looked up and saw two people approaching.Seeing the two next to Wang greet each other cordially.

Both of them were in their 20s, and they were just passers-by who met at Danzhouwangpang and Helibo Hotel.It is even more cordial to see the two next to Wang, and to see that they live in the same mansion.The four meet and choose a day to have a good drink.

On the way to the county government office, Wang Pang wondered, could it be that these two people are also engaged in smuggling business? Thinking about the governance of the county magistrate in Yanzhou, it is naturally far different from that of Zhang Zai in Yunyan, Danzhou. This county magistrate is like the county magistrate of Chenzhou Chang. If you think about it differently, the county magistrate Chen is at most a collusion between officials and bandits.The county magistrate of Yanzhou has something to do with the enemies of Xixia.

Wang Pang was thinking about this, and he had already reached the gate of the county government office.

This government office is also a second-entry courtyard, and the front yard is where the county government office is located. The government servants have already handed over their shifts. According to the current situation, it is late to get off work.Enter the inner house through the corner door along the corridor. Although it is not as poor as the Danzhou county government, it is still simple and the layout is also very simple. The courtyard of the inner house is relatively large, but there is an extra stone scene and a few trees in the courtyard.

A child aged seventeen or eight was standing on a stone as high as a small bench in the yard, and two or three servants were standing in front of him. I saw the child wave his hand, pointing at the servants, and said in a manner, "Listen well!" , Now the Three Ways of War, I ordered you to take two thousand elite soldiers to attack Hongzhou, you," he said, pointing to another one: "You take three thousand elite soldiers to attack Longzhou."

A servant snickered, the child pointed at him and stared at him: "Don't laugh, you take 200 people and attack Shilijing with the general." The servant replied: "Young master, 200 people are not enough!"

The child said angrily, "How dare you disobey the military order?" He pointed to the servant who had dispatched 3000 or [-] soldiers, and said, "You two drag him out and beat him a hundred times!"

Wang Pang almost didn't laugh when he saw it, he slapped his palm, what kind of punishment is this?Seeing this scene, Zhong Yi also smiled, but soon put on a straight face and said: "Jianzhong, there are guests visiting, so don't mess around."

The child turned around and saw Zhong Yi, called "Daddy" and ran over to salute the two beside the king.

Zhong Yi introduced them, "This is the dog: Zhong Jianzhong"
