The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 25 Lychee Kidneys
Out of curiosity, Zongze stood in front of the table.

Looking at the fonts on the paper, they are still immature, just better than beginners.

But what’s on the paper…

Zongze began to read in a low voice:
The population is about 10, there are 52 large cities with more than 510 people, about [-] million hectares of cultivated land, and the annual output of silk is more than [-] million pieces...

Zongze quickly realized that this was the national power of the Song Dynasty.

He is a junior official and has never been exposed to these things before. At this time, it seems that he is very shocked in his heart.

I am Da Song, so strong.

At this time, Zongze had a strong impulse in his heart to read the memorial. He wanted to know what the content of the memorial was.

This kind of memorial, which could only be placed on an official's desk, was now placed in a eunuch's home.

To see, or not to see.

Zong Zedu stepped to the door, but there was no one outside. Looking around, there was no one in the courtyard either.

Zongze returned to the house, gritted his teeth, and picked up the memorial.

Upon seeing it, Zongze became angry.

Shanzhou, they actually wanted to abandon Shanzhou. This was the gateway from the northwest to the west of the Song Dynasty, and it was a strategic city.

As far as Zongze knows, although the current administrative power of Shanzhou does not belong to the Song Dynasty, it still belongs to the Song Dynasty in name. Tubo in the Qing and Tang Dynasties once surrendered to the Song Dynasty. Later, due to the forced expropriation of officials sent there, a large-scale civil uprising was triggered. The Song army had no choice but to withdraw and sent civilian officials to Huairou, barely keeping Shanzhou still on the territory of the Song Dynasty.

The court is about to be abandoned!

Zongze's fists were clenched tightly. He was angry but helpless.

He is just a small seventh-grade county magistrate. Even if he has the intention, he is powerless.

At this moment, Liang Shicheng entered the room.

Zongze looked at the memorial in his hand and felt a little panicked. He knew that he had read something he shouldn't have read.

Without saying a word, Liang Shicheng put the two copies of the edict on the table, turned around and walked out. As he walked, he said: "The Za family is tired today. Zongxian has had tea, so let's go back."

In a tone of farewell.

Zongze didn't care about that, grabbed the copy of the edict that Liang Shicheng had placed on the table, and read it quickly.

two copies.

One share is given to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and additional money is given to the grower.

The other is for the Zhongshi Dao, asking the Zhongshi Dao to build roads to ensure that the raw Tao inkstones in Taozhou can be transported to Bianjing without any damage. At the same time, they strengthen defenses and be careful of Xixia's pressure on Taozhou.

Laugh...joke! ! !
The actual control of Taozhou now lies in the hands of the Qing, Tang, Tubo and Qiang people.

What's more, the Zhong family's army is full of heroes, and the Zhong family...

Let the Zhong family be responsible for transporting the rough stones from the inkstone, this...

Wait a moment……

Zongze suddenly recalled the location of the Zhong family army, the road construction..., Taozhou...

This series of words plus Shanzhou just added up.

Many words appeared in Zongze's mind.

Qiang!Tibet!Khotan!Uighur!

Yes, this is a hint to myself.

Who does this mean?

It is definitely not the current emperor Zhao Ji. I have heard rumors a long time ago. How could a figure comparable to Li Yu have such strategic thinking.

It seems to be the official's intention to ensure that the inkstone is made of rough stone.

someone.

Zongze realized that someone was trying hard secretly.

who can that be?

Zongze went through the officials of the third rank and above in the imperial court in his mind. He could only shake his head sadly. They... were impossible.

At this time, a little eunuch appeared at the door.

Zongze knew it was time to leave.

Under the guidance of the little eunuch, he left the door of Liang Mansion.

Let’s talk about Liang Xin.

For the two portions of lychee kidneys, Liang Xin only used her chopsticks to taste them before packing the other portion completely.After coming out of this unknown shoe shop, Cao Tan led the horse. She wanted to ask: Brother Cai, are you you?But when the words came to his lips, Cao Tan changed his mind: "It's not good for you to eat too much of that dish."

Liang Xin lowered her voice and said in a fierce tone: "You know too much."

Cao Tan was stunned.

Liang Xin smiled: "At my age, although I am young, I am not stupid. I bought it as a gift."

While Cao Tan was stunned, Liang Xin had already got on the donkey and went home.

He felt that he was not good at riding a horse.

Donkey, it's still okay.

Send someone?

Of course it's a gift, but not today, but tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow.

Anyway, the weather is still cold now, so the dishes won’t go bad.

The next day, Liang Xin entered the palace in the afternoon.

Wang Pu first sent the lychee kidneys to the imperial kitchen for heating, and then walked to Zhao Ji's study.

Zhao Ji was lying on the table studying a painting.

Seeing Liang Xin coming, Zhao Ji looked up.But Liang Xin was shocked.

Zhao Ji's face was pale, his eyes were dry, and when he raised his head, he clearly felt weak...

Liang Xin took a few steps forward and was about to ask if he was going to teach the imperial doctor, but Zhao Ji laughed: "13 people, 13 people, hahaha."

What 13 people.

Just at this time, Wang Pu was outside the door, delivering the heated dishes from the imperial dining room.

Liang Xin took it at the door and put it on the table for Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji kept laughing: "It's still you. Okay!"

After eating the lychee kidneys, Zhao Ji said: "At the second watch, this little slave Wang Pu brought two people from Cai Bian's house. I looked happy. At the third watch, this little slave Liang Zhong Zainu is really good at doing things, quietly sending the person you arranged to the palace, unexpectedly, unexpectedly, hahaha..."

Zhao Ji didn't say any more, but he laughed loudly.

Liang Xin understood what 13 people were.

Zhao Ji, you are only 19 years old, but your face is pale and your eyes are dry... You are also crazy.

Liang Zhong...what did he arrange?

Liang Xin was confused again.

Liang Xin said: "You study the paintings first. I will go out of the palace and find good things quietly. I will be back soon."

"Go, go." Zhao Ji waved his hand.

Ever since his uncle Wang Shen was demoted to a remote place, Zhao Ji had never felt good about anyone. At this time, he felt that Liang Xin was really considerate.

Liang Xin left Zhao Ji's study, and Wang Pu was waiting outside.

Liang Xin asked in a low voice: "At midnight, who did Liang Zhong bring in quietly?"

Wang Pu looked around, and then whispered: "It was arranged by his godfather and sent to Prince Jian's house..." Wang Pu's voice became softer and quieter as he spoke, and in the end, it was almost like a mosquito, and he could hardly hear it.

Liang Xin knew the meaning.

I also know why Zhao Ji laughs so wildly.

King Jian’s favorite concubine!

Zhao Ji is really capable of taking action, and he also has the joy of a winner.

No wonder, it was almost sucked dry.

Liang Xin looked at Wang Pu: "This kind of thing..." Wang Pu quickly added: "I know very little about it, but they are all very reliable people. The officials were very happy and rewarded me and Xiao Zhong."

"Yeah." Liang Xin didn't ask again.

His father, Liang Shicheng, is a very cautious person, and he will definitely not let the news of this kind of thing leak out. But, why did such a thing happen?

Liang Xin asked Wang Pu to leave the palace and go home, and asked Chu Hong to secretly prepare some powerful tonic medicine.

As for himself, he went to find Liang Shicheng in the palace.

At this time, Liang Shicheng and Zhao Youfu were in a room, with the doors and windows tightly closed, and their trusted eunuchs guarding them.
