Chapter 379 Make the old fairy laugh

"Jin Fushi raised an army to rebel, and Wang Gou died and the country was destroyed. Our Song Dynasty naturally had the obligation to avenge Wang Gou and suppress the rebellion. Send troops to Goryeo, which became a crime of slandering the people and conquering the rebellion."

Li Gang said carefully: "When the descendants of Wang Gou inherited the country and the country of Goryeo. I am grateful to my great and generous official family in the Song Dynasty, so I applied for an enclosure... Actually, it is not impossible. If Jin Fushi came to the enclosure, this reputation must be unpleasant."

Zhao Huan laughed and said, "Famousness? Kaibaozhong's King's Army besieged Jinling. The Queen Li sent Xu Xuan into the court. He was very respectful to the palace for the great rituals of Jiangnan. He was only sick and did not serve as a court visit. He dared not refuse the imperial edict. Why did Taizu respond to it?"

‘No need to say much, what is the crime of Jiangnan? But the whole world is alone, and you can’t let others snore by the side of the bed?’

The reason why Zhao Da destroyed Nan Tang was so rough--the place next to my house could not be occupied by others.

What bad reputation did Zhao Dake have ever gained?

No.

Although Zhao Da’s bullying of the orphan and his widowed mother has always been criticized, some people even wrote a poem "When Chen Qiao’s post in that day, he bullied his widow and orphan. Who knew that more than three hundred years later, widows and orphans were also bullied" to mock Zhao Da.

However, no one accused and insulted Zhao Da for saying "How can you allow others to sleep soundly when you lie beside the bed?"

For Zhongyuan Tangkou, the leader of the hall can make the people have enough food, and the expansion of territory is the second most political correctness. The rest are all insignificant minor issues.

On the contrary, the old witch who "measures China's material resources and wins the country's favor" cuts a land today, cuts a land tomorrow, and pays a million taels today, but he dares to pay a million taels tomorrow, was nailed to the pillar of shame in history. Except for some mites and some treacherous deceased, basically no one wants to whitewash the old witch.

Therefore, Goryeo’s problem is actually not a problem for Zhao Huan at all.

The reason why he never sent troops to Goryeo was to suck more blood from Goryeo to feed back to the Song Dynasty. Now that they have had big problems with Goryeo themselves, Zhao Huan was too lazy to continue to argue about it.

"If Jin Fushi can honestly approve it, it will be the best."

Zhao Huan said in a deep voice: "If Jin Fushi, like Wang Gou, only thinks about 'major's affairs' and wants to preserve the Goryeo country', then just destroy Goryeo."

Li Gang said, "It's just that, whether Jin Fushi requested to support him or sent troops directly to Goryeo, I'm afraid that the relationship between my Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom will change as a result."

"I am not trying to plead for the Jin Kingdom, but the Jin Kingdom is stronger than Goryeo after all. The Jin Kingdom is not in trouble at the moment, and it is just right that I can arrest my Song Dynasty... and hire workers. If I send troops to the Jin Kingdom now, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

"Besides, the Privy Council is now reorganized, the Imperial Army and the Fang Army are also reorganized, and the courts and places are also reorganized. I think it is really not appropriate to conquer the Jin captives now."

However, what Li Gang did not expect was that Zhuang Chengyi was the first to jump out to express his objection: "I think there is nothing beautiful or not, and nothing is not suitable."

"I do not know much about marching and fighting. But I know that the most important thing in war is logistics and military expenditure."

"Now the national treasury is enough to support the military resources and food required by a 100,000 army in a year. If we send troops next year, I am afraid that there may not be so much money in the national treasury?"

Hearing Zhuang Chengyi’s statement, Li Gang couldn’t help but frown and asked, “Shangshu Zhuang, isn’t the national treasury lacking money?”

Zhuang Chengyi's old face turned red, but then he said with striking remarks: "This time, that time is also the same. Besides, Japan has silver mountains, gold mines, and Liaodong also has gold mines! Since there is gold mine, there is no need to worry about money."

After hearing what Zhuang Chengyi said, not only Li Gang and others looked at Zhuang Chengyi in a daze, but even Zhong Shidao and others almost spit out a mouthful of old blood - this Zhuang Shangshu is indeed worthy of his nickname as Zhuang Pixiu, and he never forgets the gold and silver mountains!

When Zhuang Chengyi saw that everyone was looking at him with a confused look on his face, he was immediately angry and exclaimed: "What are you looking at me?"

After saying that, Zhuang Chengyi pointed at Master Zhong and said, "Old Master Zhong, when your Privy Council asked for money, did this Secretary of State say that he would not give you money, right?"

After Master Zhong nodded, Zhuang Chengyi pointed to Gao Zi'an, the Minister of Works, and Fang Zi'an, the Minister of Rites, and said, "When your Ministry of Works, there is still the Ministry of Rites, you have to ask for money, and this Secretary of Works, didn't you say you won't give it?"

"If you don't take the lead, you won't know that the firewood and rice are expensive!"

"The Privy Council wants to change into newer and better equipment, the Ministry of Works needs to build more river bridges, and the Ministry of Rites needs to build more schools. Don't these cost money?"

"You spend money like water. I am the Minister of Revenue, and I have tried my best to get money for you, but I have never delayed your affairs, right?"

"It's ridiculous that I am in charge of the Song Dynasty's money bag, but the Ministry of Revenue's yamen leaked on sunny days and rainy days. I have never been willing to spend money to repair it!"

"Now, this Shangshu is just thinking about bringing back the gold mines in Liaodong to subsidize the treasury. Why are you staring at me one by one?"

“…”

Li Gang and Master Zhong looked at each other, thinking about it, just looking at you? How could you lose a piece of meat after taking a look? This is not something you are shameless about is just spread today...

Of course, no matter how I think in my heart, I really made Li Gang and Master Zhong fight Zhuang Chengyi in person, and the two were still a little scared - Zhuang Chengyi, an old Pixiu, was a ruthless person who even the officials dared to cheat, and ordinary people really couldn't do it!

"Then let's see how he chose Jin Fushi."

Seeing that the bigwigs had already separated into war-first factions and conservatives, Zhao Huan simply made the final decision and said, "If he puts a letter on the table, it would be like the story of Dali and allow him to be allowed to support him. If he doesn't put a letter on the table, he would directly send troops to Goryeo in the name of slandering the people and punish the Jinlu, and then take down the Jinlu together. The Privy Council is ready to send troops."

Seeing that Zhao Huan, the leader, had reached an agreement with Zhuang Chengyi, who was in charge of the money bag, Zhong Shidao could only bow helplessly.

...

"Brother-in-law, the capital is opened in front of you."

Park Sung-sung pointed to Kaijing City outside the tent and said, "Wang Gou's son was cut off from his Goryeo subjects, why didn't his brother-in-law take this opportunity to become independent?"

Kim Boo-shi glared at Park Sung-sung and asked, "What about?"

"Then my brother-in-law is the Emperor Haidong."

Park Sung-sung looked as if he was taken for granted and said, "My brother-in-law repeatedly asked Song State to send troops to help, but Song State has never paid attention to it. Now the opening of Beijing is already a treasure. Brother-in-law should be in the north and the court, so why bother to rush to post to him on Song State?"

"Bang!"

Kim Fushi suddenly slapped Park Sung-sung in the face and shouted: "It's nonsense! When the army was launched, it was for the people of Goryeo, so why not for their own selfishness?"
