A vigorous anti-political movement kicked off. Liang Shicheng and Shi Xuehe were just the beginning, and then one after another officials were investigated, demoted or beheaded. On the other hand, every official who was investigated was found to have no family property without exception.

Zhao Huan was very satisfied. The national treasury was already very empty. The amount of silver that these officials had stolen from their homes was unimaginable. As a result of the fight, more than 200 taels of silver were confiscated from Liang Shicheng's home alone, and Shi Xuehe and Zhu Conglong were added later, but a dozen or so officials made up the total.

But Zhao Huan would never have imagined that while Zhang Bangchang collected the money for him, most of it was sent to Doki Dolma's residence.

700 million taels of silver and 150 million taels of gold, not counting other treasures.

This is a terrifying figure. The entire Song Dynasty’s finances could not receive so much in a year, but now it has all flowed to Xu Zizhen’s family. Let's go, the gold and silver sent by Zhang Bangchang will be escorted by them to Xu Zizhen's home in Yingtianfu in turn.

This is the safest way, because now there is no gate that dares to check their missions, just kidding, Liang Shicheng's precedent is there, who would dare to live or die?

Of course, Zhao Huan didn't know about this, he only knew that millions of taels of money had already been collected, and it was the best to solve the problem before him, and now he was full of vigor and enthusiasm to be his "Ming Jun".

As the instigator of all these incidents, Xu Zizhen is now on the way from Bianjing to Taiyuan, and he is in a good mood, because before he left, another large sum of money entered the account, which made him the happiest thing.

"Xu Zizhen, why did Zhang Bangchang do such a reckless thing for you? Did you hold him back?"

Su San was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking out the doubts in her heart.

Xu Zizhen laughed: "He is the Dazai of the court, what excuse can he have for me? He is willing to do this for me."

Su San said: "I don't understand, isn't he afraid that the emperor will find out and cut off his head?"

"No." Xu Zizhen said with certainty, "First of all, Zhang Bangchang will not die so early, his prime minister has something to do, and...Zhao Huan will have an accident before he finds out about it."

Su San was taken aback, but fortunately he was on the official road now, and there were no people around, otherwise Xu Zizhen would have been exterminated based on these words.

Xu Zizhen leaned over his head immediately, and said in a low voice: "Zhang Bangchang didn't dare at first, but I just told him a word - the gold man will break Bianjing soon, and they might as well give away the silver first than it is cheap." Go to my place, as for Zhao Huan, hey, he only has a few days left in his life as emperor."

"You mean that the Jin people are about to attack Bianjing? Then..." Su San's eyes widened in shock, and suddenly she understood something, "Then you go back to Taiyuan to let Wanyan Ang prepare early. ?”

Xu Zizhen glanced at her in surprise: "Yo ho, you understand so quickly? It's rare."

Su San spat: "Bah! My aunt isn't so stupid."

Xu Zizhen laughed and said, "I said you were fat and panting, but actually I'm not looking for Wanyan Ang, but Han Wuge, you don't understand, he is our main anti-gold general in the next few decades, we can't do without him."

Su San felt that she couldn't understand Xu Zizhen more and more. She could firmly believe that Xu Zizhen would not lie to her, but where did Xu Zizhen's predictions come from?What is the basis?Su San would never believe that he was a god. How could a god be so lustful, marry so many wives, and have so many confidante girls.

Xu Zizhen didn't go on, there were some things that Su San couldn't understand, and it was pointless to explain more, and Bianjing was the capital of the Song Dynasty after all, so it was not a good thing to be breached by the Jin people, it was always a great shame.

In addition, Xu Zizhen has two other things to do when he goes to Taiyuan this time. One is to see the development of his own caravan in Taiyuan, because he has never cared about it since it was handed over to Hu Qing. Sorry, the other thing is the whereabouts of Shui Liuli. Xu Zizhen has a vague feeling. Although Zhao Gou kept saying that Shui Liuli would not be in danger this time, he still felt that something was wrong. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for so long. No message back, which is not normal.

"Xu Zizhen, what did you say to the emperor? Isn't he always timid and cautious? Why did he wantonly demote officials this time? Isn't he afraid of civil strife?"

Xu Zizhen said: "I can't take care of the civil strife. Zhao Ji is not dead yet. Zhao Huan was always worried that his foundation would not be stable when he ascended the throne. Moreover, those old ministers relied on Zhao Ji's favor and did not take him seriously as the new emperor. Everyone is angry. , isn't he taking advantage of Zhao Ji's absence in the capital to change his lackeys?"

He told Su San what he had said to Zhao Huan, and then proudly waited for Su San's admiration for him, but unexpectedly, he received Su San's contempt.

"Have you ever studied? What do you mean by fighting against the outside world? It means that you must first settle down when you fight against the outside world. If you want to say it, it can only be called a foreign trouble."

"Uh...was it wrong? Zhao Huan didn't say to remind me..." Xu Zizhen scratched his head in embarrassment. Fortunately, it was Su San, otherwise Gao Pujun or Wen Xian might be despised.

After a few days of unhurried walking, I finally arrived in Taiyuan. From a distance, I saw the gate of Taiyuan City was open. The flow of people coming in and out was very dense. Assembled merchants.

Xu Zizhen was very satisfied with his handwriting. Originally, Taiyuan Mansion had been surrounded by Jin people. After Bianjing was destroyed, the Jin people would turn around and destroy this place. It has become a prosperous and lively free trade zone, which is rare even in his time 800 years later.

After entering the city, Xu Zizhen slowed down and walked slowly on horseback. The crowds on the street were very lively. From time to time, he could see businessmen wearing exotic costumes. Obviously, driven by his caravan, he attracted many neighboring countries. Merchants from China, such as Xixia, such as Tubo, and even further away Uighur, Goryeo, and Heihan.

Xu Zizhen pointed to Su San and said, "Look, what's wrong with my brother's lack of study? What is the most important thing these days? Making money! Money is king, and knowing how to study is worth it."

Su San curled her lips and ignored him, anyway, she knew that Xu Zizhen could talk nonsense, and dead people could be said to be alive, as long as she knew it herself.

But at this moment, a disdainful voice came from beside him: "Hmph, it's just nonsense!"

Xu Zizhen was taken aback: "Huh? There are still people in Taiyuan who dare to despise Lao Tzu?"
