[Southern Song Dynasty] Splendid mountains and rivers

Everyone in the city felt that they had been fooled.

When they tried their best to open the door of Grandma's house, they found that it was empty.Not only was there no food, there was not even a little bit of gold and silver.What's even more exaggerated is that the shop under her name, which she bought not long ago, is actually empty!

It's unreasonable...it's unreasonable!

The angry people simply didn't do anything, and turned to other big households in the city to settle accounts.When the number of bankrupt people has accumulated to a certain amount, the psychology of hatred for the rich has also reached its peak.

damage.

damage.

damage.

Endless destruction!

This is what Zhao Yuan and Song Jun who came from afar saw.

The angry crowd swarmed over and destroyed everything they saw.This operation has lasted for two full days, and even the garrison troops transferred to maintain order have joined the team of destruction.The yamen servants had disappeared without a trace. If they hadn't been afraid of the high authority of the governor, the entire yamen might have been completely demolished by the angry crowd.

"What should I do?" The governor's legs were trembling, "I can't do it, I can't do it, I can't do it!..."

Han Shizhong just looked at him with contempt, hooked his shoulders, and dragged him aside: "Brother, let's have a good talk. Well, don't say that Lao Han bullies you, the first iron rule in the Song army is: those who disturb the army's morale will be killed." What? You don't believe it?... Hehe, old Han has lived for so many years, and he has never seen Diji miss. Do you know, what we usually call Diji? 'Goddess of Heaven'...Hehe, you just Just wait and see, after a while, Diji will give you a sweet treat..."

Zhao Yuan turned his head silently when he heard the words.

When did she get another nickname... Why didn't she even know it herself! ?

"It's an exhaustive strategy, it's a 'secret'." An old pedant who was with the army said while shaking his head while twirling his long white beard.Zhao Yuan immediately concluded that this guy came from the Privy Council.To put it bluntly, he came to serve as Yue Fei's clerk, but to put it bluntly, he was to supervise the army.

I was really defeated by these old guys who can only study hard.

Zhao Yuan hooked his fingers at her new housekeeper, called him over and gave some instructions in a low voice.The steward's eyes opened wider and wider, and finally protruded like two huge goldfish eyes, and he stretched out a finger tremblingly, and even his tongue began to knot: "One, one, one, one penny? "

"It's not one penny a thousand and one hundred and ten, but one penny." Zhao Yuan corrected.

The new manager of her family swallowed hard, and staggered away step by step.He felt that since he joined this new boss, his life expectancy would be halved every day, and he was frightened.

Because his boss had just told him that the market would open to sell rice.

On the first day, one penny per liter.

The next day, one penny and one bucket.

On the third day, one penny and one stone.

……

Does his boss, who has so much money to spend, really know the current price of rice?

Now a bucket of rice costs fifty guan ren!Fifty guan! ! !Oh no, this is still the price this morning. When his mother-in-law went to the market to buy rice just now, the price has already risen to [-] guan, and it is said that it will rise again...

This is not the grandma of the God of Wealth, she is simply the prodigal grandma of the God of Wealth's family!

Nothing to say, call my wife and buy rice!

The people in the city went crazy again.

At the first hour when the rice market opened, no one cared about it; at the second hour, everyone started to rush for it; at the third hour, the rice bags at home were no longer enough; at the fourth hour...

Blood, fights, shoves, fires...everything came out.

There is no way, only the hungry people know the value of food.

Only people who have been "not enough to eat and starve to death" for more than half a month will be red-eyed when they see rice.

One penny for one liter, isn't that the same as giving away for free?

Nothing to say, grab it!

The frenzy of panic buying swept the entire city, and no one even cared about the change of Song's army.It's all my own family anyway, it's just a change of defense, it's no big deal.I heard that these grains were brought by General Yue Feiyue from thousands of miles away, which just solved the urgent need of Xinzhou.Think about the oppression and inaction of the emperor of Jin Kingdom...

Gee.

If the governor of the state government dares to become an official of the Kingdom of Jin again, everyone in the city will stop the sedan chair and beat him up!

And then, before the price of "one penny and one bucket" was reached the next day, the whole city died down.Every household lit up cooking smoke, and the strong aroma of rice porridge permeated the air, which made people feel a little lazy unconsciously.Well, it is said that the higher ups are going to change the emperor again?Change it, change it, from the Han Dynasty to the present, there have been a hundred or eighty emperors, people from Jin, Liao, Jin, Song... aren't they all emperors?

At any rate, the Song people were emperors, and they could have a penny of rice per liter.

Zhao Yuan habitually stood on the city wall, blowing the cool breeze, watching the crowds of people in the city, a high-hanging heart finally let go.

Inflation, hoarding, financial raids... She really did everything a profiteer could do.

The best way to eliminate inflation, of course, is mandatory deflation.

The best way to suppress hoarding is of course dumping at low prices...

Hey.

With a combination of deflation and low prices, the big gentry in the city may be on the verge of bankruptcy.

She narrowed her eyes contentedly, and yawned wrapped in the milky white fox fur.She hadn't closed her eyes for two consecutive days, even though she was still young, she couldn't stand it anymore.The governor of the prefecture had already been trained by General Han Shizhong, looked at her with an extremely eager and adoring gaze, and asked cautiously, "Where did you get this much food?"

"I bought it." Zhao Yuan answered simply.

The master of the state government calculated silently for a while, and then said cautiously: "But the grain you took out today is already twice what you bought originally."

Zhao Yuan let out a soft "Huh".This lord of the state capital actually has a lot in his chest, not bad, not bad, a child can be taught.

She turned her head unfathomably, facing the cool wind, and said in an even more unfathomable manner: "Where did Bendiji buy the rice, do you still need to make a book in the hands of adults?"

The governor of the state government made a haha: "I don't need it, I don't need it..."

The extra food was naturally bought in the Kingdom of Jin.

Zhao Yuan would not be so stupid as to tell him that he brought a mobile granary with him.

She looked at the city wall quietly for a while, nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Go back to the house, let's sell oil tomorrow."

The lord of the state capital staggered again.

But fortunately, General Han, who was used to Di Ji's unexpected remarks from time to time, stretched out his hand to support him, said "be careful" kindly, and walked away with his shoulders hooked.

"Brother, how about we have a few sips of wine tonight? By the way, we can also discuss the defense of Yanyun Zhuzhou..."

"Di Ji."

A familiar and low-alcohol call sounded in Zhao Yuan's ear, followed by the creaking sound of nail leaves rubbing.After a while, a young general in silver-white armor walked into her line of sight, bowed his head habitually, saluted her, and said, "The cloud chariot has been prepared, I don't know when Diji will Go home and sleep peacefully?"

"...Here it comes again." Zhao Yuan took two steps forward, reaching out to pinch his tall nose bridge, but he turned his head slightly and avoided it.

"Di Ji." He called her helplessly, with a hint of sharpness in his tone.

Zhao Yuan lowered his hand even more helplessly, and put it on his side, but tilted his head to look at him, and asked with some concern: "You put on the battle armor so quickly... Are your injuries healed? "

"Thanks to Emperor Ji's care, I'm fine now."

"..."

Zhao Yuan swears that one day she will screw him over!

Probably because Zhao Yuan's expression was too distorted, Zhong Yi was also taken aback for a moment, and his tone became much more relaxed: "Emperor Ji, let's go back to the mansion first. It's windy here, so don't catch cold." Although he was still serious , but faintly revealed a bit of warmth.

Zhao Yuan's expression collapsed: "...um."

----------

Yue Fei is a very serious person.

Although Han Shizhong is a bit foolish, his young master is a very strict person.

The combination of the three of them, together with the governor of the prefecture who came here to make up the numbers, happened to be able to play a table of horse cranes, no, it was a military meeting of the highest level in the Song Dynasty.At the meeting, the four seriously discussed matters related to the recovery of Yanyun, and beside them was a Di Ji who was wrapped in a milky white fox fur and was yawning.

After listening to it for half an hour, Di Ji only said: "There is enough food, and gold and silver are enough."

Han Shizhong's eyes lit up in an instant, followed by the governor, and then Yue Fei and Zhong Yi turned their heads together, and Qi Qi looked at her with incredible eyes.Zhong Yi was better, he was used to Diji's unexpected actions from time to time; Yue Fei was cooperating with Diji for the first time, and his heartbeat accelerated and his chest felt tight several times already.

There is enough food and gold and silver, what does this mean?

It means that most of the remaining Yanyun can be won in one fell swoop in this season when spring rain is as expensive as oil, green and yellow, and on the verge of inflation!

Yue Fei thought that he already had a little understanding of why Di Ji was called a "goddess".

After all, not everyone has the guts to say the phrase "sufficient food, enough gold and silver".

Things went fairly well.

Zhao Yuan repeated his old tricks, spending a lot of money to buy food and supplies from the surrounding states, and then created one or two small-scale riots, and then Yue Fei's army suppressed the border and sprinkled rice wantonly. wilted.Occasionally, a small group of Jin soldiers resisted, and the screaming Western Army rushed forward, swallowing up all the bones.

However, when the money was sprinkled in Ruzhou, a little accident happened.

Probably because this storm is too terrifying, the governor of Ruzhou has already made sufficient preparations.He not only banned food delivery in the state, but also blocked the circulation of Jiaozi in the state.It is said that the master of the state capital also has many shops in his home, and it is said that the master of the state capital is also very rich...

Zhao Yuan habitually called the steward of her family's "Wanshitong" and asked, "What's your opinion of the prefect of Ruzhou?"

"Love the people like a child, never impose exorbitant taxes, but never listen to Feng's orders." The steward replied.

"Well, it's a hard bone." She nodded and asked again, "Does he like money?"

"If Diji wants to use money, it may be difficult. This lord of the state capital has an extraordinary appetite."

"Hmm... his family is in Ruzhou, how big is Zhuangzi?"

Wanshitong replied conscientiously: "The villain has heard a rumor that half of the Confucian state is the property of this lord of the state capital."

"No wonder he is so confident, dare not listen to Shang Feng's order, and can order many people not to do business." Zhao Yuan shrugged, and then ordered the steward, "The governor of the state capital of Xinzhou is still here. What? Tell him to come and see me. Since the two are colleagues, there should be some communication in private..."

The governor of the state capital of Xinzhou was quickly brought over.Along with them was Han Shizhong with an excited face, and a series of black-clothed and black-armored Western Army soldiers.Everyone knew that once Di Ji wanted to do something suddenly, she would definitely use her godly hand to turn Zhuzhou upside down.

Diji kindly asked the governor of Xinzhou, what is the reputation, family background, and conduct of the governor of Ruzhou.The governor of Xinzhou, who had long been taught by Han Shizhong and worshiped the emperor in every way, answered Diji's question very seriously, and also attached an extremely important news: the bold and daring local emperor, the master of Ruzhou prefecture, is a A hard-nosed, penny-pinching iron cock.

"Hmm..." Di Ji pondered for a while, and then said to the state capital of Xinzhou, "Go and send me a post, I want to discuss a business with him."

"Life, business?"

"Yes, business." Di Ji nodded and said lightly, "I want to buy the entire Confucian State from him."

puff--

Dozens of mouthfuls of old blood spurted out all around, accompanied by a series of wailing sounds of chest tightness and shortness of breath.

Buy, buy Ruzhou!

Di Ji is really rich and powerful, no, she can be bold! ! !

"As long as the price is right, I believe this local emperor and iron rooster with a good reputation will be very happy." Diji smiled lightly.

Her housekeeper managed to find her voice, and asked cautiously, "Dong, Dong, do you know how much money it will cost to buy a state?"

"It doesn't matter." Di Ji said gently, "This Di Ji is never short of money."

puff--

Boom! ! !

After dozens of mouthfuls of old blood were spurted out, the fierce men of the Western Army finally fell to the ground, with stars in their eyes and thunder in their ears.

Although the young master of their family often said that Di Ji was bold and reckless, but...

Who would have thought that she would be so courageous! ! !

The men fell to the ground sprawled, staring at the blue sky, weeping against the wind.

Buy, buy the entire Ruzhou!

Excited just thinking about it!Very passionate!Very passionate!

It's really worth it to go out with Di Ji! ! !

A group of men from the Western Army who just got up from the ground drove away from the capital of Xinzhou, left and right.Of course, it is only reasonable to witness such a spectacle that has attracted worldwide attention!Um!Even if the iron rooster and local emperor Confucian state governor is unwilling, they still have to press his signature to make a deposit!

Facts have proved that Di Ji's judgment is quite accurate.

After hearing the rhetoric of "buying the entire Ruzhou", the governor of Ruzhou Prefecture immediately offered a price of [-] million taels of silver, which must be in cash, and must be of good quality and must be shipped within three days.Such a harsh condition, presumably few people in the world can do it.

Ten million taels of silver is more than the annual tax of the Song Dynasty!

The governor of Ruzhou prefecture dared to open his mouth like a lion, and Di Ji was naturally no less impressive.Doing business is naturally more courageous than whoever has a better heart.With a smile, she moved a stool and sat in front of the Yamen of the Confucian State Government. In front of millions of people, she commanded a group of fine and fierce men from the Western Army to carry boxes of silver here.

On the first day, everyone's expressions were cheerful and excited.

On the second day, there was already a small commotion in the surrounding area.Because these bastards from the Western Army, every time they brought a box of silver, they would open the lid of the box and dump it in front of the Ruzhou governor.Although the well-informed Ruzhou prefect still didn't change his face, his family servants and the onlookers had already fainted for a little while.

On the third day, most of the people clutched their chests and left under the orderly and solemn army of the Western Army.

Day [-]...

Except for the generals and soldiers of the Western Army who still said excitedly, "I just smashed you to death with silver!", and the governor of the Confucian state who buried his head in counting the small pile of silver in front of the mansion, almost everyone could no longer support it. , walking staggeringly, leaving in a trance.

Zhao Yuan covered his mouth and yawned, and asked the governor of Ruzhou in a listless manner: "I don't know how the garrison in Ruzhou is?"

"It's not as good as the Western Army." The governor of Ruzhou, who was busy counting the money, didn't raise his head.

"Your Excellency has accumulated so much silver in just a few days, if you encounter bandits, it will be bad." Zhao Yuan glanced at the surrounding Xijun briefly, and continued, "Why don't you just change your defense and make these's even more powerful?" How about the western army stationed in Ruzhou? This Emperor Ji promised that if any general of the western army takes away one or two taels of silver from you, I will pay you ten taels."

The lord of the Ruzhou prefecture jumped up instantly, grabbed a soldier of the Western Army beside him, and said eagerly: "How about you come to my mansion to fight robbery tonight? The gate of this mansion must be open, and robbery is welcome! "

"..."

The soldiers of the Western Army all turned their heads away.

Tribulation, what kind of robbery, these are the future dowry of Di Ji!It's already very distressing to spend so much, what if the time comes when Di Ji marries here, and she doesn't even have the money at the bottom of the box?

Everyone unanimously decided to surround the Ruzhou state capital into an iron bucket, and half a tael of silver cannot be thrown away!

...So Ruzhou was bought by Di Ji.

This rare spectacle in the world was recorded in the annals of history by the clerk beside General Yue.

Hongling rushed to Yanjing one after another in a hurry, bringing great news one after another: the attachment of Xinzhou, the attachment of Wuzhou, the attachment of Ruzhou, the attachment of Weizhou, the attachment of Huanzhou... It is said that they are as far away as Yanjing. The Supreme Emperor in Beijing patted the table laughing and jumping. It is said that there were already more than 20 imperial decrees, which were continuously sent all the way to Ruzhou.

When receiving the decree, you must set up an incense table, kneel three times and kowtow nine times to express your sincerity.

"Following heaven's fortune, the emperor summoned him... Today there is the emperor Rou Fu, who is a genius in the sky, and there is nothing left to do... Take Xin, Wu, Confucianism, Wei, Yan, Ji... I am the emperor's will. I sympathize with the concerns of all people...I granted the title of Roufu Diji as the eldest princess of the Yan Kingdom, and enjoy..."

The eunuch's high-pitched and thin voice drifted among the curling sandalwood, which made people drowsy.Zhao Yuan imitated the appearance of the generals around him, knelt three times and kowtowed nine times to receive the order, but he was thinking about another matter in his heart.

"Princess Yan Kingdom"?

Aren't the daughters of Song Dynasty emperors all titled Di Ji?
