In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 117 Here Comes, Here Comes, The Beauty Comes

It was his words that Zhao Yurui was waiting for, hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth: "You can make money with a boat, and with my ability, I can definitely afford it."

Shi Miyuan immediately said: "The three counties of Yinxian, Fenghua, and Xiangshan don't have to bear the burden."

The magistrates of these three counties are all confidantes appointed by him. The implication is that these three counties are not responsible for the money and food of the navy.

Navy spending is a bottomless pit, and Shi Miyuan will definitely not let his confidants do such a thing.

Zhao Yurui said again: "Can Li Zongmian know Dinghai County and Du Gao know Cixi County?"

This was the first time he asked Shi Miyuan for the position of the chief magistrate.

Before the emperor asked him what he needed for outsourcing, Zhao Yurui thought about it for a long time, but he didn't dare to ask the county magistrate.

Because he knew that Ning Zong could decide to give him money and help him raise some confidantes, but if he wanted a chief official like the county magistrate, he had to pass Shi Miyuan's test. Instead of asking Ning Zong, he might as well ask Shi Miyuan directly.

If there was no navy, Shi Miyuan would have to think, you are all about making money, why do you want a county magistrate?
Now that Zhao Yurui wants a navy, the local government needs to supply money and food. It is best for the county magistrate to be his own people, otherwise he will not cooperate, procrastinate, and the supply of money and food will not be met, and Shi Miyuan will still be troubled in the end.

Shi Miyuan frowned. King Wei outsourced the contract. He changed three county magistrates at once, which is already a very exaggerated matter. Now King Wei wants to change two more, five of the six counties in Qingyuan Mansion?

He was actually very embarrassed, but it was rare for King Wei to ask him.

Wei Wang's tone was very humble, and he used the word "can you".

Seeing Shi Miyuan's hesitation, Zhao Yurui had no choice but to say: "Forget it, forget it, it's really inappropriate to change five county magistrates at once."

Seeing Zhao Yurui seemed a bit disappointed, "I will do my best." Shi Miyuan didn't say anything dead, he wanted to make Zhao Yurui the emperor, so naturally he didn't want to offend Zhao Yurui easily.

"Who is Du Gao?" Shi Miyuan asked.

Wei Liaoweng and Li Zongmian are all officials of Wei Wangfu, Shi Miyuan can understand, but Du Gao, even he has never heard of it.

Zhao Yurui said: "His father, Du Ying, is a second-generation official. He is now in Haimen Salt Farm. He and Li Zongmian are good friends." The implication is that Li Zongmian recommended it.

Of the officials under Zhao Yurui's sect, Li Zongmian was the youngest, with a rank of eighth rank, but he was barely qualified as a magistrate. The key point was that he had never opposed Shi Miyuan before. After all, his rank was not high enough to be eligible to appear in the court.

Naturally, Shi Miyuan had no impression of him, let alone noticed that Zhao Yurui used the term "Second Generation Official".

But when it comes to Du Ying, Shi Miyuan remembered: "I have been in Jiangxi's prison, and later served as a doctor in the household department."

Shi Miyuan nodded. Nothing bad happened to Du Ying. Du Ying died more than ten years ago in 1209. Shi Miyuan had just taken power at that time, and the two of them had little contact with each other.

"How many people do you want for the navy?" Shi Miyuan asked again at this time.

Zhao Yurui said: "People are not important, the most important thing is the ship. I want more big ships, at least ten or eight ships. After all, I want to go to Haimao."

Shi Miyuan smiled and said, "The larger the ship, the more manpower it needs."

"After discussing with Wu Ying (the commander of Xu Pu's water army), the old minister will give Wei Wangjun a few ships. The minister estimates that there will be about 1000 people at most."

"Thank you, Prime Minister, thank you, Prime Minister." Zhao and Rui were overjoyed and danced a little: "This king can make a lot of money now."

Shi Miyuan smiled and looked at Zhao Yurui. He liked Zhao Yurui's focus on making money very much, but he always felt that something was wrong?

But at this time, Zhao Yurui was only 15 years old, and in Shi Miyuan's eyes, he was a half-child. Wei Liaoweng and Li Huang beside him were middle-level officials from the fifth rank, and they had only been with Zhao Yurui for a few months. He is completely confident that he can hold Zhao Yurui in his hands.

He was still in a daze, and Zhao Yurui went on to say: "Yu Rui wants Li Huang to be promoted to the tea and salt office in Changping, East Zhejiang, Wei Liaoweng to be promoted to the city shipping department, and Du Fan to be the salt supervisor of Minghechang."

Shi Miyuan was stunned again, and then thought about it, Wei Liaoweng, Li Huang, and Du Fan's grades could hold these three positions, and these two yamen (Minghe Salt Farm was under Li Huang's management) were the most important in the Song Dynasty. A money-making yamen.

"The king of Wei has a heart, and I will leave this matter to the next official." He could only agree first.

In Shi Miyuan's eyes, these three positions were incomparable with the county magistrate.

Shi Miyuan gave Zhao Yurui a lot of face today, mainly because he didn't want to make trouble with Zhao Yurui.

He also catered to Zhao Mian before, and wanted to flatter Zhao Mian, but Zhao Mian didn't give him face, and he was forced to do something else, so he wanted to make another plan.

Now that he is going to abolish Zhao Mian and promote Zhao Yurui as emperor, there is no need for him to quarrel with Zhao Yurui anymore.

Anyway, he has already made arrangements for Qingyuan Mansion. What Zhao Yurui wants to do will be known next year.

Shi Miyuan finally said: "The king of Wei is not too far away from the capital. If there is a chance, I still have to go to the capital from time to time to greet His Majesty and the saint."

"Yu Rui understands, Prime Minister, please rest assured." Zhao Yurui thought, needless to say, I will come here often, Ning Zong and the prime minister's thighs should be hugged tightly.

The two talked all the way, and arranged Zhao Yurui's outsourcing. When they reached the gate of the palace, Shi Miyuan let Zhao Yurui go first, and he turned to look for the emperor.

Shi Miyuan is quite reliable in his work, he will never procrastinate on what he wants to do, he will do it immediately if he can do it immediately, and plan well if he needs to plan.

In history, Shi Miyuan is probably the only one who can die well as a powerful minister, and the descendants of his family can continue to be prime ministers.

He immediately went to Yutang again to find the emperor, and suggested to the emperor that the shipping department in Quanzhou City, Guangzhou now earns millions for the imperial court every year, and the shipping department in Lin'an City is more of a facade, and the income is not as good as in case. Increase expenditure for the court.

He also said that there were too many navy troops in Xupu, which put a lot of pressure on the local finances. He asked to send some of them back to Dinghai County, because Dinghai County also had a navy camp back then, so Qingyuan Mansion could bear part of the military expenses. (That is, reset the Zhexi Coastal System Department, and then swap with Zhedong, because the current Zhedong System Office is located in West Zhejiang.)
The emperor hesitated for a moment, Shi Miyuan said again, that side is relatively close to the king of Wei, if there is anything, it is convenient for the king of Wei to go to Beijing by boat.

Ning Zong smiled, and finally nodded in agreement, because these two things sound like good things that benefit the country, the people and the King of Wei.

On the other side, as soon as Zhao Yurui left the palace gate, he heard someone calling him behind him, and when he looked back, it was his uncle Zhao Rushu.

Just now Zhao Yurui and Shi Miyuan were walking and chatting in front, Zhao Rushu looked at his back enviously.

Everyone is from the clan. He, Zhao Rushu, is from the lineage of Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi. He is closer to the royal family than Zhao Yurui, but he hasn't been crowned king yet. No, he doesn't even have a duke. .

You look at Zhao Yurui, they are young, jumping once a year, heir to the king last year, and the prince this year, it is really annoying to compare people to others.

"I met uncle." Zhao Yurui was still polite, after all, he was an elder.

Of course Zhao Rushu was also very satisfied with his attitude, and Niu Bao happened to come out at this time to pull the carriage far away.

It's cold outside recently, Zhao Rushu pointed to get off the carriage: "Go and talk to Rui in the carriage?"

Zhao Yurui had no choice but to take him into the carriage, and then found that there was a sedan chair following them, which was exactly what Zhao Rushu had said.

In the Song Dynasty, there were more rules for officials riding on bridges. In the Southern Song Dynasty, calf carts and sedan chairs became popular, and more officials took sedan chairs.

But in winter, the sedan chair is definitely not as warm as the carriage, and Zhao Rushu happened to get off Zhao Yurui's carriage today.

Zhao Yurui's carriage imitated Xia Qingzhi's. It was built more luxuriously inside, with blankets on the floor, and a heater. It was also very popular to bring girls out in winter.

He usually rides out on horseback, but today he switched to a horse-drawn carriage when he went to court.

After getting into the carriage, Zhao Rushu and Zhao Yurui sat cross-legged facing each other. After thinking for a while, he asked, "How old is Yurui this year?"

"You'll be sixteen after the Chinese New Year."

"Is there a woman you like?"

"..." Zhao Yurui thought to himself, here she comes, here she comes, the beauty is here.

He is not young in the Song Dynasty, and he is also a clan. In fact, the emperor and Queen Yang have long cared about his marriage.

Zhao Yurui acted shyly and shook her head to express that she hadn't yet.

Zhao Rushu said with a smile: "Jiashe, the envoy of Huaidong and the governor of Jingdong and Hebei, has a daughter named Yuhua, who is eleven years old and has the beauty of sinking a fish and falling a wild goose—"

Jia She wanted to return to Beijing due to illness, and arranged for his wife Shi and his daughter to return to the capital in advance. His daughter is already 11 years old, so please ask Zhao Rushu to find a good home for him.

After discussing with Shi Miyuan, Zhao Rushu decided to ask Zhao Yurui.

According to Zhao Rushu, it has been implied that this is what the prime minister meant.

Jia She's wife, Shi Shi, is the daughter of Shi Miyuan's elder brother, Shi Mizheng, so Shi Miyuan has to be called an uncle in terms of seniority.

Shi Miyuan always appointed people close to him at the front. For example, the deputy envoys of Huaidong Zhizhi and Huaixi Zhizhi who were at the forefront of the Song and Jin wars were Jia She and Zhao Shanxiang respectively.Among them, Jia She married the daughter of Shi Miyuan's elder brother, Shi Mizheng, and Zhao Shanxiang's youngest son was Shi Miyuan's son-in-law.In addition, Zhao Fang (father of Zhao Kui), who was in charge of the defense of Hubei, was originally a person close to Shi Miyuan's family. In the end, he was promoted to the Jinghu system envoy.

Shi Miyuan's employment principles are similar to Zhao and Rui's, use his own people as much as possible in important places, and marry if possible.

However, the relationship between Jia She and Shi Miyuan was not very good later on, because he formed his own loyal army, and Shi Miyuan believed that he privately recruited soldiers and horses, imitating the soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Beifu, and had evil intentions.

Although the relationship is not good, they are all relatives after all. Now that Jia She is not in good health, he wants to go back to the capital to recuperate. Shi Miyuan also tried his best to help him, which happened to cut Jia She's military power.

Jia She is a relative of Shi Miyuan, if his daughter marries Zhao Yurui, then Zhao Yurui and Shi Miyuan will naturally become relatives, and the relationship will naturally become closer.

Zhao Rushu is the clan, and the uncle of Zhao and Rui in name, so it is just right for him to propose this marriage.

Although Zhao Yurui felt that Jia Yuhua was too young, Zhao Rushu almost said that this was what Shi Miyuan meant, how could he refuse.

"Naturally, I have no objection with Rui, and I will listen to my uncle, but, is this Yuhua a little younger?"

"Don't worry Rui, the prime minister wants to meet and get engaged first."

"If Empress Yang has any questions in the future—" Zhao Rushu's tone became weird as he spoke.
