My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 373 The key knife that tied Jiangnan to the chariot
Guo Zhishun was overjoyed and got up to pay respects.

Wang Lin also got up and gave way, after all, he was Guo Yuan's father, so he wanted to give his woman some face.

Now the political affairs hall of the Song court is dominated by Li Gang, Wu Min, and Zong Ze. If Guo Zhishun is added, it is actually a team of prime ministers.

Under Wang Lin's guidance, this is actually a new system that has been partially improved.

There is a general leader such as Li Gang, but the prime ministers also divide their work and cooperate.

Wang Lin said with a smile: "Guo Xiang, I agree, let Guo Xiang be in charge of the southeast's wealth, grain and rice and the national economy."

Guo Zhishun was overjoyed, this was a fat vacancy that couldn't be fatter.

But before he got up to thank him, he heard Wang Lin say again: "In the face of a national crisis, the imperial army, horses, logistics, supplies, and war preparations all depend on the wealth of the southeast. In addition, the farming economy in Hebei, Henan, and Shandong is also the top priority."

"Guo Xiang, this is a protracted war. If the war preparations cannot keep up, the Great Song Dynasty will be defeated. And if I am defeated, you and I will become slaves to the subjugated country, and nothing will be discussed anymore."

That's all Wang Lin said.

Talk to smart people halfway through, and stop at the end.

Guo Zhishun naturally understood that Wang Lin was solemnly warning and beating himself, for personal gain or conspiracy, but there must be a bottom line, and the public should not be abolished for personal gain.

Otherwise, let's all play together.

In other words, if Wang Lin finds out, he will never show mercy.

Guo Zhishun's face was reddish, he got up and saluted and said with great emotion: "My lord, please rest assured, Guo will not dare to harm the country, let alone live up to the high hopes of the lord!"

How can Guo Zhishun not understand that this is Wang Lin's great trust, and he has given the army's logistics lifeline to him.

If they help Wang Lin achieve eternal supremacy, then the Guo family will surely be honored and respected in the future.

Wang Lin nodded slowly: "President Guo is an old man who seeks out the country, and he is well-known in the court. I can trust him."

Wang Lin paused, and then said: "Yuan'er arrives in Beijing tomorrow, you can go home and stay for a few days."

Guo Zhishun's mind was agitated, but he was speechless, he just bowed and bowed.

Wang Lin was telling him that his daughter Guo Yuan would make proper arrangements in the future.

Talked with Guo Zhishun for a while, and broke up happily.

After Guo Zhishun left, Wang Lin rubbed the center of his eyebrows, feeling a headache.

He is a lazy person after all, but in his current position, it is difficult to be a hand-off shopkeeper anymore.

He holds the military power firmly in his hands, but now he can't let go of the finances and government affairs in the rear, and the people's livelihood, and he needs to hand them over to someone he trusts.

Guo Zhishun was a candidate he had studied for a long time.

And Guo Zhishun's deputy is Gu Qingchuan, the prefect of Hangzhou, who he had met during the inspection of Liangzhe Road.

It is estimated that the edict to promote him as the transshipment envoy of Liangzhe Road and the supervisory ambassador of Southeast Finance has already arrived in Hangzhou.

As for Du Pu, the transshipment envoy along the Liangzhe Road, Wang Lin's suggestion was to recommend him to the imperial court as Minister of the Household Department.

And on Wang Lin's recommendation list to Li Gang, there are also many direct descendants of the major gentry families in the south of the Yangtze River. These are all reported to Wang Lin through the Tiger God Guard Hangzhou Branch. Relatively speaking, they are young people with some ability My son, I haven't passed the imperial examination yet.

Wang Lin was going to ask Zhao Ji to give these people the same background as Jinshi, and to deal with all the powers in the face of national crisis, and then let them be enriched to serve as local officials in Hebei, Henan and Shandong.

One is the lack of people.

Especially in the prefectures and counties of Hebei, the local government offices are almost completely empty.

Second, the children of aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River became officials in the north of the Yangtze River, which could also strengthen the source of power to hand over the wealth and wealth in the southeast.

Why not?
This is the key to tying Jiangnan to the chariot.

Of course, this kind of thing can only be done and cannot be said.

Wang Lin also wrote a poem for this purpose, which probably spread to the south of the Yangtze River at the same time:

Kyushu is angry and relies on wind and thunder.

I persuade Tiangong to be vigorous and to cast down talents in an eclectic manner.

In fact, at this moment, Du Pu, who was originally a student of Liangzhe Road and later served as a transshipment envoy of Liangzhe Road, was already on the official ship where he was serving in Beijing. He was going down the river and was about to enter the border of Shandong.

On his official ship, in addition to his family members, there are also children from major families in the south of the Yangtze River.

Such as his son Du Cheng.

Another example is Gu Yifan from the Gu family and Zheng Tongzhi from the Zheng family.

Almost every family in the south of the Yangtze River has children on Wang Lin's recommendation list, and they are all given the same Jinshi background by the official Zhao Ji. At this moment, they are happily sailing northward with Du Pu, preparing to enter the pilgrimage to pay homage to the emperor.

As the children of aristocratic families, what they lack is to make contributions.

And this time Wang Lin's eclectic downgrading of talents has become a good story in the south of the Yangtze River, and everyone is proud to be among them.

With the breeze coming, Du Cheng held a banquet in the cabin at the top of the ship, had a drink with Gu Yifan and others to enjoy the scenery.

Du Cheng's eyes glowed eagerly and said: "I am about to enter the capital. I heard that the King of Qi will hold a banquet in the capital to clean up the dust for me and other scholars in the south of the Yangtze River. In a few days, I will go to various places to take up positions. It is said that the worst ones are It's the county magistrate."

Gu Yifan drank his glass in one gulp, and said lightly: "Well, I urge God to cheer up and send down talents of all kinds!"

"King Qi is really a strange person through the ages, he actually came up with such a way to select talents and reform the officialdom, so that my generation will not be defeated by the imperial examination, and I will be rewarded for my life's high ambition."

Zheng Tongzhi smiled: "Old Gu, you really made a lot of money. With your lazy nature and dislike of reading the classics of the Four Books, you couldn't pass the Jinshi exam for 20 years. Now it's all right, the officials gave it to you! "

Du Cheng said again: "In the face of the national crisis, the King of Qi led his army to fight to the death with the Jin people. Now they are winning consecutive battles. The scholars of our generation have no strength to restrain a chicken and cannot serve the country in the army. If you do your part, it's not in vain to go through this life in the world!"

Gu Yifan jumped up against the case: "After entering Beijing, a certain person should ask to see the king of Qi, and with a body of seven feet, he should throw a pen and join the army, and go to the front line of Hebei!"

"Why don't you bring the Wu hook and collect the fifty states of Guanshan. Please go to Lingyan Pavilion for a while, if you are a scholar with thousands of households?"

Gu Yifan chanted softly, and Du Cheng and Zheng Tongzhi slowly got up and stood behind him. The three of them stared at the northern scenery on both sides of the canal outside the boat, which was very different from the south of the Yangtze River, feeling generous and tragic.

……

Just when scholars from Jiangnan went north to the capital, in fact, scholars from Shandong, Hebei, Henan, Southeast, and middle Sichuan also gradually came to Tokyo.

The so-called scholars rose up against the crimes, vowed to live with the country, threw their pens into the army, and went to the national calamity.

Cao Zhi of the Three Kingdoms wrote in "White Horse Chapter": "White horses are decorated with golden guards, and they gallop north and west. If you ask who is the son, you are a knight-errant... The name of a strong man is not allowed to be self-serving. Die to go to the national calamity, and see death as if it is home!" "

Wang Lin's "A Letter to All Compatriots of the Great Song Dynasty on Resisting Gold and Saving the Nation" has been spread all over the country, in which "regardless of land, north and south, and people, regardless of age, they all have the responsibility to defend the land and resist the war" stirred people's hearts and aroused strong sympathy among scholars all over the world .

Of course, the more important thing is that Wang Lin led the army to win several battles and killed tens of thousands of enemies, which greatly encouraged the fighting will of the Song people.

In the afternoon, when the two large ships flying the banner of King Qi slowly arrived at the wharf outside the Shuide Gate of the capital, at the same time there were several other ships full of scholars from all over the land.

And the news spread early in the capital, Wang Lin's family arrived in Beijing today, so the wharf was crowded and many people came to welcome them, most of them were scholars.

Han Yan led the family members of the palace to get off the ship, and Wang Lin had already led two thousand tiger guards to meet the guards, but a large group of scholars surrounded them, shouting slogans to see the king of Qi, and surrounded the pier It's leaking.

The daughters of Han Yan had no choice but to return to the cabin temporarily and wait quietly.

Pan Jinlian has a big belly, and her due date is approaching.

Han Yan walked to her side and said softly: "Sister Jinlian, don't be impatient, wait patiently, you can get off the boat in a while."

Pan Jinlian was a little seasick.

Pan Jinlian paled slightly, smiled lightly and shook her head: "I'm fine."

Although Huarui also has a straight belly, she has martial arts in her body, and her body is stronger than Pan Jinlian's.

Zhao Fujin leaned against the window of the hatch, frowned and said, "We came to Tokyo without much fanfare, and not many people even knew about Qinglai, so why is Tokyo making such a big commotion?"

Li Shishi and Zhang Zhenniang both looked out of the cabin quietly, with slightly emotional expressions.

They are all from Tokyo. They have been away from Tokyo for several years, and they never thought that there would be a day when they would return to their hometown.

And when they come back, they are already the nobles of the palace.

The two women looked at each other and smiled.

As for Wei Ying, Zhu Lian, Guo Yuan and other women standing beside them, their emotions were even more complicated, and it was difficult to express them one by one.

Hu Sanniang and Liang Hongyu jumped onto the sampan in armor, and suddenly heard a sound behind them, and turned their heads to see that Wanyan Shili, who was dressed in a strong outfit and showed a hotter figure, also jumped out. Her newborn son Polu.

Hu Sanniang was startled: "My aunt, Polu is only a little older, don't let the wind catch you! Go back to the cabin!"

Wanyan Shili smiled heartily, and said indifferently: "I'm bored in the cabin, I'll come out to get some air!"

Liang Hongyu smiled wryly, hurriedly persuaded Wanyan Shili to turn back to the cabin.

Li Qingzhao and Zhu Shuzhen stood quietly in the cabin, looked out, and saw a crowd of people outside, full of scholars in Confucian shirts, the voices were loud.

Zhu Shuzhen frowned and said: "Are these scholars gathered on the pier, looking for trouble with your husband? Shouldn't it be?"

Li Qingzhao also hesitated.

She did know that Wang Lin's relationship with the civil servants and nobles was not very "harmonious" because of killing civil servants and speech officials, but Wang Lin's poems are famous all over the world, and now he has a world-class feat in fighting against the Jinren, so he shouldn't be besieged by scholars. ?

At this time, thunderous applause and cheers suddenly erupted outside the cabin, as well as waves of "Yan Wang Wan Sheng".

The girls of Han Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but they felt a little strange, King Yan?

They still don't know that Wang Lin has been renamed King Yan.

In the distance, Prince Zhao Gou, Zhao Yupan, and son-in-law Zeng Kui stood there. Seeing the boats of Wang Lin's family berthed at the pier, and Wang Lin himself was surrounded by at least a thousand scholars in the pier, all of them looked strange and complicated.

Scholars are so enthusiastic, which shows Wang Lin's prestige in Song Dynasty.

Such a person is a good thing for the Great Song Sheji, but not necessarily a good thing for the Great Song royal family.
