Northern Song Dynasty: Counterattack and became emperor after the Jingkang Revolution

Chapter 47 Yue Fei becomes the waiter

Although Wanyan Zongyi was a golden man, he was still a distinguished guest who came to congratulate him, so there was nothing wrong with treating him with courtesy.

But since ancient times, the Song and Jin Dynasties were incompatible. She was polite to Wanyan Zongyi purely because of business dealings, but she was not in the mood to accompany him and other guests to dine on the second floor.

After Wanyan Zongyi tasted the delicacies, he went downstairs bored and happened to meet Yue Fei who was helping on the first floor.

If future generations knew that Tangtang Yue Fei was working as a waiter under Zhao Yingluo's command, they would probably drown Zhao Yingluo to death.

But Yue Fei himself felt that there was no violation. Who asked Zhao Yingluo to give him [-] horses for free?What happened to being a waiter for a few days?Not missing arms or legs.

"Where is the princess now?"

When Yue Fei saw him opening his mouth, he asked the princess, and said somewhat nonchalantly, "Barbeque stall outside!"

Wanyan Zongyi didn't care much about his attitude. He put his hands behind his back, shook his slightly tipsy body, and walked out.

Zui Furong’s signature dish is famous in Kaifeng, even in Zhongshan Prefecture. Zhao Yingluo introduced the barbecue dish. In addition to part of it being served as a meal, a considerable part is made into a takeaway item.

"Drunken Furong's special grilled skewers, one skewer costs [-] yuan! It's delicious and not expensive! Eat one skewer and think of two skewers, eat two skewers and think of four skewers. I guarantee you'll want to eat [-] skewers in one meal."

Jiang Laosi, who was assisting with the skewers, almost turned red to the roots of his ears when he heard his princess shouting like this.

A skewer costs no more than a penny when the dozen is full!You sell it for a hundred cents a bunch, is it delicious and not expensive?Princess, doesn’t your conscience hurt?One hundred yuan can buy you a good meal in Kaifeng.

He thinks it's expensive, but it can't stop those businessmen from pursuing it!As soon as the ten skewers were roasted, they were immediately bought and put into his mouth. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked up, what a guy!The line of people was endless as far as the eye could see.

Jiang Laosi couldn't help but murmur in his heart, drought will kill him, waterlogging will kill him!One hundred coins is enough for ordinary people to live for a while, but to these businessmen, it is as if it is not money.

However, he was still very happy after receiving the money. Judging from the enthusiasm of these people to buy, it is estimated that the income for this day would be nearly a thousand taels of silver.

According to the princess's generosity to her servants, his income this year cannot be compared with the annual salary of the high officials in the imperial court.

Not only him, but also the wealth of the first group of people who followed the princess all skyrocketed, and one of them became as powerful as a chicken or a dog flying into the sky.

Zhao Yingluo was busy greeting the guests and did not notice Wanyan Zongyi behind her. Wanyan Zongyi looked at her graceful curves and smooth hair. His heart moved and he subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch her.

But just when he was about to touch it, Yue Fei behind him coughed dryly, and he withdrew his hand again.

"what are you going to do?"

Wanyan Zongyi explained with some embarrassment, "I want to say hello to the princess and thank her for her hospitality."

Zhao Yingluo also noticed the movement behind her at this time, "I have a lot of things to do here, so I won't keep you here. Brother Wanyan, please help yourself."

Wanyan Zongyi had no choice but to say goodbye with some embarrassment and turned to leave.

After all, Yue Fei is older and also a man. Wanyan Zongyi looked at her with fire in his eyes. He could feel it, "Princess, that golden man seems to be interested in you!"

Zhao Yingluo was startled, then smiled and said, "Interested in me? I hope he won't be stupid!"

Yue Fei felt relieved and continued to serve as a waiter carrying his plate.

……

In the winter months, Zhao Yingluo, who had been busy in Zhongshan Mansion for a whole month, finally decided to leave for the south.

This trip north was full of rewards.1000 private soldiers were stationed in Handan and Xingzhou to protect two large transit warehouses. At the trading warehouse in Zhongshan Prefecture, the number of private soldiers reached 2000.

Not only that, these three major cities also opened varying numbers of Zui Furong restaurants, and the money they earned was continuously transferred to Kaifeng through Dasong Bank.

The annual income of 10 taels can continuously support Zhao Yingluo to expand the scale of his private army.

Therefore, the first thing she decided to do when she returned to Kaifeng City was to continue recruiting private soldiers!Expand the current scale of 3 people to [-]!

She is preparing for the coming crisis. This crisis is not external, but internal to the Song Dynasty.

The No. [-] landowner in the Song Dynasty, the No. [-] tycoon in the Song Dynasty, and a mercenary. Now her strength no longer allows her to develop in a low-key manner. She can imagine what Lin'an is like now.

[Mid-November, Lin'an]

She thought well. Lin'an had already turned the court into a complete vegetable market because of her, causing a lot of trouble.

Zhao Gou sat on the throne and wanted to cover his ears, not wanting to hear the noise of the courtiers!But the courtiers didn't care whether he could bear it or not, they continued to quarrel with each other.

There were three issues in total that they argued about!
First, the use of troops against the puppet Qi.

Due to the battle at Handan City, Liu Yu did not rush to attack Kaifeng. After contacting the Jin people, the Jin people did not want to fight, so the plan to occupy Kaifeng and make it the capital was temporarily shelved.

But just because he didn't dare to open the seal doesn't mean he didn't dare to attack Shangzhou, Xuzhou and other places!Who makes Song Jun a soft persimmon who can be manipulated at will.

So Liu Yu sent his son Liu Lin to personally lead the army to attack Shangzhou and Xuzhou.Dong Xian, the magistrate of Shangzhou, was a coward and surrendered without a fight. Xuzhou was in danger.

Second, draw a line with gold.

The court officials headed by Qin Hui believed that since the Song and Jin Dynasties were at peace, they should take this opportunity to use the river as the boundary with the Jin people and abandon the large territory north of the Yellow River in exchange for long-term peace.

However, his suggestion was opposed by the main combatants Lu Yihao, Han Shizhong and others.

Third, the treatment of Shen Wanshu, the number one rich man in the Song Dynasty.

This was also brought up by Qin Hui. The reason was that Liang Fengxian, the concubine beside Qin Hui, blew the pillow wind, and Liang Fengxian was Liang Da's daughter.

right!It was Liang Da who lost 100 million acres in Kaifeng.

After Liang Da lost the land, he couldn't hold it in for a while, so he wrote a letter to his daughter. Liang Fengxian couldn't bear it when her father was bullied.

When Qin Hui heard that his father-in-law was being bullied, he had to stand up and support him!These 100 million acres of land are not just his father-in-law's. Once his father-in-law dies, doesn't this land become his?

However, Qin Hui also had scheming intentions. As the saying goes, "I am willing to accept defeat." His father-in-law did not take the word "reason" in this matter, so he could not bring it to the court to discuss the matter simply because of the land dispute between the two parties.

However, if it concerns the national system, it is different.

"Officials, I received a report from the north, saying that Shen Wanshu recently recruited troops and seemed to be rebellious! Also, since she has been north to Zhongshan Mansion for more than a month, I suspect that she has colluded with the Jin people. It is best to deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise the disaster will be endless."

Zhao Gou opened his eyes slightly after hearing Qin Hui's words, "How can a mere woman cause any trouble?"

Qin Hui immediately took out a letter and handed it over. It listed several of her major crimes in detail, "If I don't have real evidence, I will never frame her. Although she is a woman, she worships Zongze as her foster father. Now Zongze commands hundreds of thousands of troops around Kaifeng, but if he has two intentions, what can he do?"
