Water Margin: I, Wang Lun, will have many children and many blessings in Liangshan.

"Ta-ta-ta-ta……"

The crisp sound of horse hooves echoed on Tianjie Street in front of Kaifeng Imperial Palace.

It's almost dusk, when the officials go home after duty.

Seeing this messenger coming in a hurry, he went straight to the palace gate.

The nearby officials also had strange expressions on their faces.

If it's not an urgent matter, there won't be such a scene.

Everyone moved out of the way, allowing the knight to gallop forward quickly.

When he arrived near the palace gate, the messenger was stopped. After asking for the reason, the Sanya Hengban who was responsible for guarding the palace gate all looked shocked.

"Bozhou, Enzhou, Yizhou, Yongjing Army, as well as Liaozhou, Binzhou, Dezhou, Cangzhou, these military states were all captured by the Liangshan bandits?"

"This is a big deal!"

"Seven states and one army, dozens of counties, and millions of people, just fell into the hands of thieves?"

"The imperial court just celebrated the victory over Square La a year ago, and the ministers were still discussing whether to conquer Liangshan first, or Tian Hu, and Wang Qing. The four most powerful bandits had already gone. Unexpectedly, this was silent,"Two"Sanqi" Liangshan, which has not even been crowned king, actually doesn't even sing. How surprising is it when it sings?"

"Three years of silence, then a blockbuster, that's it……"

"Hebei, Jingdong East Road, several states in the west of Beijing, and Huaidong Road, these roads add up to more than 10 million people, and Jingdong East Road is the belly, Hebei Road is the chest, and Huaidong Road is the foot. This is the general trend. It’s done, we have to fight against the power of the Song Dynasty."

"That's not enough, right? The Song Dynasty had 800 military prefectures, a dozen of them, and the thieves only had two more, and dozens of prefectures. In terms of financial, material, and manpower, how could they be compared with the Song Dynasty?"

"There are not many good soldiers, but the Liangshan bandits are not weak. Didn't Shijiedu just lose last year?"

"I saw Shijiedu leading 780,000 to 70,000 people across the capital and back to the base. I thought it was a small defeat. Later, I heard the news that the people were redeemed by the imperial court. At that time, I thought it was nonsense, but now it seems that what he said was true."

"Moreover, Liangshan is good at construction, and its construction products are now sold everywhere in the capital. It earns tens of thousands of dollars a day and goes to novels. Its products are also sold in the south, such as Jiankang, Suzhou, Yangzhou, Hangzhou, Mingzhou, Quanzhou, Guangzhou, and even overseas. Selling everywhere, some of my relatives are doing business to make a living. When I mention Liangshan, I admire him very much. According to his estimate, Liangshan can earn at least 10 to 20 million yuan a year."

"Hiss... so much money? Aren’t we about to catch up with the Song Dynasty court?"

"People have fewer officials and more staff, and they all work on errands. Every penny spent is spent on real things. We in the Song Dynasty collected a lot, but wasted a lot on redundancy. It’s hard to say which side has the strongest financial resources."

"With so many military prefectures, Liangshan's management, as well as their commercial taxes, security taxes, and deed taxes, can earn 30 to 40 million yuan a year. This comparison is really close to us."

"What about food? People depend on food. How can they have as much food as we did in the Song Dynasty?"

"Haha, it’s really a joke to mention this. They harvest much more grain than Song Dynasty."

"I have heard that all the tens of millions of acres of land in Liangshan are official fields, and the annual harvest of grain exceeds tens of millions of dan."

"Their land is all public land, and they provide the people with cattle, farm tools, and improved seeds. They remove all kinds of taxes and only collect grain, so they harvest a lot of grain."

"It's strange to say that our side of the Song Dynasty is either drought or flooded. Especially in the past few years, there have been fires every year and millions of people have been affected by disasters every year. But the weather has always been good over there in Liangshan."

"I estimate that Liangshan probably has tens of millions of grain reserves in his hands. Even if he raises an army of millions, without a grain of grain from now on, it will be enough for ten or twenty years."

"hiss……"

Many high-level military attaches took a breath of cold air again.

What is this concept?

Everyone is a little confused.

When it comes to food reserves, the Song Dynasty should have the least among all dynasties.

Like other prosperous times, such as the Wenjing Dynasty at the beginning, it was said that money was piled up like a mountain, the ropes on which the money was tied were rotten, and food was piled up like a mountain, and it was impossible to finish it.

During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty and the prosperous Kaiyuan period, grain reserves were also emphasized, as well as the price of grain at that time.

The commodity economy of the Song Dynasty was extremely developed, foreign trade was developed, and agriculture was really average.

Of course, as more land is developed and the population increases, the total grain output is not low.

But when it came to converting the total grain output into national power and reserves, the Song Dynasty did a rather average job.

The main reason is that taxes are mainly collected in copper coins, not in kind.

In addition, land annexation was serious in the Song Dynasty.

A large number of scholar-bureaucrats did not pay taxes, and of course they did not pay taxes.

Grain is not included in the scope of reserve materials at all.

Of course, no matter how bad the Song Dynasty was, it was still better than the Ming Dynasty. The Song army had never heard of food shortages, and the northern part of the Song Dynasty was not as miserable as the northern part of the Ming Dynasty.

"You guys are discussing here, and I will send the urgent report to the inner court."

The more the leader of the Hengban Military Attachment heard, the more unpleasant he became.

These people are all descendants of the military attachés in the founding imperial army, and have been selected as palace guards for generations.

Their abilities may not be great.

Loyalty is still loyal.

I have never heard of anyone in the Northern Song Dynasty. Rebellion and rebellion threatened the emperor.

In the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou was arrested by Miao Liuzhi.

Later, there were many powerful ministers who could threaten the emperor, control the palace ban, and preside over the establishment of the emperor.

The palace ban in the Northern Song Dynasty , always under the control of the Emperor of the Zhao family.

The leader of the Hengban looked gloomy and worried, and hurriedly entered the palace. Unexpectedly, not long after entering the palace, he was stopped by a group of eunuchs.

"The officials were listening to the music troupe playing newly composed music in the imperial garden. They had already issued an order that no one was allowed to disturb them for any reason..."

The leader of Hengban said:"But what I bring is urgent military information!"

"The sky is falling. If Fangla captures Hangzhou again, we will have to wait until the officials have finished listening to the song."

"That is, how big of a deal can it be? Now the country is prosperous, the Holy Emperor of the Song Dynasty is in the government, there are no traitors inside, there are no powerful enemies outside, and the people all over the world are safe and sound. You warrior, don't come here to scaremonger."

The military attachés of Hengban were also helpless.

This is indeed the case in the official family.

When writing, when drawing, when listening to plays.

It really doesn't matter if the sky falls.

Of course, so far in the Song Dynasty, nothing is true. A big event like the collapse of heaven and earth. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Hangzhou fell, and the officials just laughed.

After putting it aside for half a year, they finally sent the Western Army to quell the matter.

How big of a deal could it be? On the other hand, I was a little too impatient due to the influence of those gangsters.

"Then I will wait."

The leader of the Hengban team just stood and waited. When his heart calmed down, he heard the long and continuous sound of music coming from the imperial garden.

……

"Well, that’s it for today."

Zhao Ji took the towel handed by the young eunuch and wiped his face.

Just out of excitement, he also went on stage to play the pipa for a while.

Emperor Daojun was an artistic genius.

He was involved in calligraphy, painting, architecture, and music. , and they can all be regarded as"home".

After the play was performed, Zhao Ji was in a good mood. He smiled at the prince Zhao Huan, King Yun, etc., all the way to King Kang, and the many emperors and concubines in front of him:"You are so lucky today, so good Good luck with your ears, um, and good luck with your taste. I’ll hold a lantern banquet in the imperial garden soon, come and have a meal with me."

Zhao Gou wore a moon-white robe, which gave him a feeling of being relegated to the immortal world.

Not only the princes looked at him with admiration, but the emperors and concubines also looked at them with admiration.

"Hmm, rush? Bring it to me"[]

"Is there waterlogging somewhere, or are bandits rebelling again?"

Before reading the memorial, Zhao Ji also made a joke.

For an emperor of a huge empire, he is not in a hurry for thousands of things. His energy-raising skills are much better than those of Emperor Chongzhen.

"hiss……"

After just reading the beginning, Zhao Ji's face was like gold paper, and his expression changed drastically.

Teng Teng took a few steps back and fell into the chair behind him.

"Immediately notify Taishi Cai, Liang Shizhong, Zhu Meng, Tong Guan and others to enter the palace!"

After a long time, under the frightened eyes of the prince and concubines, Zhao Ji hissed an order.

Then he stood up and left, completely ignoring the banquet.

"What happened?"

The Crown Prince Zhao Huan caught the eunuch who had seen the urgent report and asked urgently.

The eunuch looked pale and replied:"Your Highness, they are the Liangshan bandits. They are attacking Hebei and Huaidong in a large scale!".
