Master Shen has a very good relationship with Zhang Jian, which many people in the Huai'an army know.
Not to mention Jiang Sheng, who has been following Shen Yi.
Therefore, when he reported the news, he did not worry about Zhang Jian who was standing beside him and said it directly.
Hearing these words, not only Shen Yi, but also Zhang Fuzun on the side was a little surprised.
"Joint discussion?"
Zhang Fuzun blinked, looked at Shen Yi, and asked, "When was the last time we all had a talk together?"
Shen Yi thought for a while and said with a smile: "It was still during their Yong'an Dynasty. I remember that at that time, our Jin Crown Prince of Dachen went to Yandu."
Mr. Shen squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "The Prince of Jin mentioned this to me. He said that at that time, in the court hall of Yandu, he and the old emperor of Northern Qi asked for Shandong and Henan provinces, and the old emperor was very angry. It was all black and I almost vomited blood."
Having said this, Shen Yi lowered his head and took a sip of wine: "The damn emperor of Northern Qi suddenly died of illness, and maybe the Crown Prince of Jin also contributed to it."
Hearing what he said was interesting, Zhang Jian also smiled and said, "Zi Heng, tell me, are you willing to agree to the request of the Jin Crown Prince this time when the Northern Qi Dynasty talks?"
"That's no different than wiping your neck."
Mr. Shen said with a smile: "After all, the national strength of Qi people is not what it used to be."
If the two provinces of Shandong and Henan are returned, Chen's territory can be restored to a level close to that of the Northern Song Dynasty, and further north, Yanmen Pass can be reached.
As for the weakening Northern Qi, it was impossible for them to move south again.
Zhang Jian was a little curious and asked, "What does Qi Ren mean?"
"Probably just to delay."
Shen Yi clinked glasses of wine with Zhang Jian and said, "There are two possibilities. One is that Northern Qi will train new soldiers in Shandong, and the other is that Northern Qi will send more troops to Shandong. Both of these possibilities will take time."
"And then there's that."
Mr. Shen touched his chin and said, "I guess they want to test my attitude and that of our Da Chen."
"Let's see if we're still tough."
Shen Yi said softly: "After all, our Northern Expedition has been going on for a long time."
National war will consume a lot of national power.
The reason why the people of Qi are now in a state of disarray is not because they do not have enough troops, or because they lack people to fight with, but more because of economic problems, which is the so-called national strength problem.
Nan Chen also faces the same problem.
They may not want to test and see what Chen Guo's attitude is now.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi looked up at Jiang Sheng and asked, "Are there any documents?"
"have."
Jiang Sheng bowed his head respectfully, took out the document from his arms, and handed it to Shen Yi. Mr. Shen reached out to take it, opened it and took a look, directly looking at the tail.
The signature is Zhou Yuanlang.
Shen Yi narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "It is indeed him."
Zhang Jian was a little curious and asked, "Who is it?"
"Zhou Shizhong's son Zhou Yuanlang."
"The person who turned the tide of the Zhou family."
Shen Yi said softly: "He played an extremely key role in Emperor Zhaowu's seizure of the throne, and therefore saved the crumbling Zhou family."
"He is known as the National Master in Yandu Square."
Mr. Shen smiled and said, "Some people call him Yin Xiang."
Zhang Jian sighed, and then looked at Shen Yi curiously: "Zi Heng knows very well."
Shen Yi smiled: "To be honest, senior brother, I know the situation in Yandu better than I do in Jiankang."
Having said this, he continued: "I will handle this matter properly. Senior brother is ready to organize households and people and distribute land."
"Zhenren Zhu Li's property was all stolen and unmanaged by his second brother. Later I will ask my second brother to go to my senior brother's place and deliver these properties to him."
Zhang Jian nodded and asked, "I have a pretty good idea of how many there are."
At this point, Shen Yi became a little angry.
"Zhenren Zhuli's population is less than one-fifth or even less than that of the Han people, accounting for more than 50%. In some places, it is even more than 60%!"
Hearing this amount, Zhang Jian was also shocked. He lowered his head and calculated it, and said, "If this is the case, it would be easy to distribute the land."
He looked at Shen Yi and asked, "Just this matter, do you want to inform the court and the Ministry of Household Affairs?"
"Behead first and then play."
Mr. Shen patted his chest: "I'll be responsible."
Zhang Jian stopped talking and stood up to leave. Before leaving, he suddenly glanced at the south and said with emotion: "Zhenren Zhuli's property in the north, Ziheng, come and confiscate it. Those big households in the south..."
Hearing this, Shen Yi also stood up, coughed, and shook his head slightly: "Brother, these words are inappropriate."
"I know it's inappropriate."
Zhang Fuzun shook his head and laughed at himself: "My family is also a big family in the south. My eldest father has been the prime minister for so many years and is known as the breeze with two sleeves. After returning to his hometown Yu Qian, I realized that my family has had so many things over the years for no reason. Lots of property.”
When Shen Yi heard this, he smiled dumbly.
"Your Majesty told me earlier that I might be a traitor under the old master's sect, but now it seems..."
He looked at Zhang Jian and smiled: "Senior brother, you were one step ahead of me and became a traitor among the scholar-bureaucrats."
Zhang Fuzun was silent for a while, lowered his head and said: "I also know that these ideas of mine are weird. It may be because the local officials have done too much and have seen too many people's sufferings."
At this point, the two senior brothers walked to the door of the room. Shen Yi said goodbye to Zhang Jian and said with a smile: "I hope that senior brother will still think like this after he becomes the prime minister in the future."
Zhang Jian returned the gift with his hand.
"I hope so."
………………
After sending Brother Zhang away, Shen Yi opened the document again.
After a brief glance, he sat behind his desk, picked up his brush, and wrote a reply to Zhou Yuanlang.
After finishing the letter, Mr. Shen dried the ink and called Jiang Sheng.
"Send someone to send it back to that Zhou Guoshi."
Jiang Sheng responded and quickly left with the letter. He sent people out of Yanzhou City, all the way north, and delivered it to Ningyang County in the north of Yanzhou City.
At this time in Ningyang County, Zhou Yuanlang was having a drink with General Tu.
This time, Zhou Yuanlang's position in the south was to supervise the military.
If he was in charge of all military affairs, or even in charge of supervising all military affairs, then Zhou Yuanlang would become the superior officer of General Tu.
However, this supervision of military affairs has some ambiguous words, and some look like a disciplinary committee sent by the imperial court.
Well... to put it more bluntly, they are the informants sent by the imperial court.
However, because of Zhou Yuanlang's special status, Tu Yuan still respected this young man. In the past few days, he had treated him to several banquets and arranged for many young girls to wait on him.
Mr. Zhou also accepted all comers.
At this time, halfway through the banquet, Zhou Yuanlang, a fellow general from General Tu, lowered his head slightly and said with a smile: "Sir, do you think Shen Qi will agree to discuss it together?"
Zhou Yuanlang clinked a glass of wine with Tu Yuan and said calmly: "If he wasn't stupid, he would agree."
"Now that he is in Shandong, it is obvious that the front line can no longer be pushed forward, but if we can get together to negotiate with them, Shen Qi will be saved. With this cooperation document, he can return When he arrived at the Nanchen court, he immediately became the unparalleled number one hero of the Hongde Dynasty."
Tu Yuan thought for a while and replied: "In Tu's opinion, he is already the number one hero of the Southern Chen Hongde Dynasty."
Zhou Yuanlang shook his head slightly and said, "It seems like this to the military people, but it may not be like this to the civil servants. A document of cooperation can make the civil servants of the Southern Dynasty immediately recognize his contribution to Shen Qi."
While the two were talking, a small school boy ran over in a hurry, holding a letter in his hand.
"General, Master Imperial Envoy, Shen Yi of the Southern Dynasties has replied."
Zhou Yuanlang's eyelids twitched and he said: "Send it up."
"yes."
Soon, he took the letter handed over by Shen Yi.
After just one glance, Zhou Yuanlang's face darkened, he crumpled the letter into a ball, held it in his hand, and cursed angrily.
"What a fool!"
General Tu was a little curious and asked: "Sir, what happened to Shen Qi?"
"He said, let's retreat north."
"We'll talk about it when we get to the Yellow River."
"He also said..."
Having said this, the Imperial Master's Hidden Prime Minister also became a little annoyed.
"Tell me my handwriting is ugly."
