Chapter 197: Zong Ze’s Job

Well--

"Is cement roads not good for cavalry?"

Cai Jing's old face was flushed and he was extremely embarrassed.

"Cai Xiang, don't you even know this? Then does Cai Xiang know the true identity of Zhao Liangsi?"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and didn't smile.

Upon hearing this, Song Huizong immediately frowned and looked at Cai Jing.

He had sent someone to investigate Ma Zhi's true identity. If it was true as Jiang Chen said, as the Liao people sent to find out the truth and reality of the Song Dynasty, then Cai Jing and Tong Guan would greatly reduce points in his heart.

Cai Jing was inexplicably seen by Song Huizong, and glared at Jiang Chen in annoyance and said, "(Damn little treacherous!) What exactly do you want to say?"

"The matter of the coalition of Jin to destroy Liao is related to the safety of the country and the welfare of all people. The subordinates just remind Cai Xiang to be more cautious, and there is no other intention!"

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and smiled, after applying eye medicine to Cai Jing, he said, "The art of war says: I will defeat before I consider victory. If the matter of the Jin Dynasty destroying Liao is different from what Lord Cai Xiang and Tong promised to the government, we must always be prepared, right?

What's more, building roads and cities is not a waste of money or a waste of the country's foundation!

First of all, all expenses are paid by the Royal Chamber of Commerce and investors, and there is no need to spend a penny on the treasury!

Secondly, the autumn harvest will soon be. After the autumn harvest, the people have nothing to do. We pay the wages to ask the people to build roads and channels. Wouldn’t it also add one more benefit to the people?”

this……

Cai Jing was stunned, feeling like a dog biting a hedgehog without any idea.

He said depressedly: How does this little treacherous look like a head? Why do you think so thoroughly about everything? Could he be really an immortal disciple?

Cai Xie couldn't help but frown and said, "As you said, the Royal Chamber of Commerce and aristocratic families make money, and the people make money too. So who will pay for this money?"

"Mr. Cai, can you be smarter? Businessmen and the people, don't you spend money on buying and renting a house?" Jiang Chen looked at Cai Xie with worries.

Um-

Cai Xie was so depressed that she was dying.

I couldn't help but ask Song Huizong:

"Officials, Jiang Chen first supervised the world's commerce through the Royal Chamber of Commerce, and then gradually controlled the military power of the Xiang army. Now he wants to build roads and cities. Would he be too busy?"

"Yes! Let such a young official take charge of such many important things. I am afraid that the world will think that the officials do not compassionate with their ministers, and the other is that I misunderstand that our court officials are incompetent. I also ask the officials to think twice!"

"Please think twice!"

Bai Shizhong and Wang Fu and dozens of other ministers all put pressure on Song Huizong: The official family is almost enough! You asked Jiang Chen to do everything, and you didn't even say hello to us in advance. Are you trying to force us to resign collectively?

this?

Song Huizong frowned.

Just in a dilemma, Jiang Chen politely said: "The officials and the weak ministers also believe that the layout of defense should be left to those who are good at military affairs.

Therefore, I recommend Mr. Zhang Shuye, the Minister of War, to be the defensive envoy of the two routes!"

"minister……"

Zhang Shangying did not speak out in order to avoid suspicion, but He Zhizhong and Zheng Juzhong, Li Gang and others all came out to agree.

Cai Jing, Wang Fu and others objected immediately.

But Song Huizong did not give them a chance to support and oppose this time. After hearing the name of "Hexian" Zhang Shuye, he agreed without even hesitation and said directly: "It's accurate!"

Well--

When did the official family become so decisive?

All civil and military officials were choking, and they all looked at Song Huizong with resentment.

Cai Jing was even more unwilling to accept it and said directly: "Official family! Old ministers object!

Zhang Shuye has always opposed the coalition of Jin and the destruction of Liao, and has many rifts with Tong Guan, the commander of the Liao Dynasty whom you have already designated as the official. If he is responsible for this matter, it will probably cause internal ties and will be detrimental to the plan to destroy Liao!

Therefore, the old minister recommended the Secretary Zuo Cheng Zhang Bangchang as the position of two defense envoys!"

Zhang Bangchang?

The pseudo-Chu emperor after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty?

Following the eyes of everyone, Jiang Chen looked at a middle-aged official who was nearly forty years old, with slender eyes and beautiful beards.

While looking at him secretly, Wang Shiyong and Xu Bingzhe, two hardcore brothers of Zhang Bangchang, couldn't wait to leave the list and said: "Mr. Zhang, you are capable of knowing the army. You have many plans to defeat Liao couplets. I'm going to discuss it!"

"I'm going to discuss it!"

Wang Fu, Bai Shizhong and others also jumped out together.

"The old minister objected!

Zhang Bangchang knows soldiers but doesn’t understand soldiers. How can he take on this important task?"

"Not bad! It's related to the country and the country! How can you make a joke? What's more, the official family had already agreed to what Jiang Chen asked for just now, so how could there be a reason to go back on their word?"

As He Zhizhong and his men finished speaking, the people in the court immediately started arguing again.

While they were quarreling, Zhang Shuye stepped out and worshiped Song Huizong's grand ceremony: "Thank you for your kindness! I will do my best to live up to the trust of the official family, and will not delay the attack on Liao!"

"you……"

You shameless!

The result has not been discussed yet, what are you thanking?

The courtiers who were quarreling were stunned for a moment, and Cai Jing and Zhang Bangchang stared at Zhang Shuye with bad eyes.

Song Huizong, who was secretly in a dilemma, smiled.

He had never doubted Zhang Shuye's ability to command troops, but the Northern Song emperor had instinctive suspicion of military generals because of the Chenqiao mutiny, so Cai Jing was happy to see him suppressing Zhang Shuye before.

But after learning that Zhang Shuye was his guardian, he had long since lost that suspicion out of trust in Jiang Chen and the Annals of the Prehistoric Period.

Seeing that Zhang Shuye dared to take responsibility, he said with relief: "My mouth has been opened, and there is no reason to change without authorization!

Since He Xiang and Cai Xiang are so optimistic about Zhang Shuye and Zhang Bangchang, then they will appoint Zhang Shuye as the chief envoy and Zhang Bangchang as the deputy envoy, and be responsible for this matter with the good ministers!"

Um?

Jointly responsible for this matter?

Cai Jing looked unwilling, but knew that Song Huizong was already giving him face, so he would probably not be too much after continuing to argue, so he could only glar at Jiang Chen in annoyance.

Jiang Chen ignored him. After Zhang Shuye and Zhang Bangchang thanked him, in order to avoid Cai Jing continuing to pester this matter, he reminded Song Huizong:

"Official family, when Weichen entered the hall, he saw an old man waiting outside. He heard that he was Zong Zezong. The official family wanted to take the exam on the spot. Was he right? I wonder if Weichen is lucky enough to leave a view?"

"Since the good minister is a living man, he is naturally qualified to go to the palace. Let's be included in the list!

Xuan Zongze enters the palace!”

Song Huizong nodded with a smile and issued an order directly.

As Tan Zhen and several eunuchs sang three times, Zong Ze, whose hair and beard were white, walked in with his waist straight, and said with a big gift: "Old minister Zong Ze, pays homage to the official family!"

"I'm flat!"

Song Huizong raised his hand with a smile.

After a few answers, he was very satisfied with Song Ze and thought that this was indeed a buried talent. So he agreed to Zong Ze as a Huainan resettlement envoy in accordance with Jiang Chen's previous request to observe the effect.

His so favored Jiang Chen's behavior made the Cai family depressed and uneasy, and he couldn't help but object again:
Chapter completed!
