Wang Shaoke's reputation as boss is well-deserved.
The two pacifiers Li Shizhong and Dou Shunqing were squeezed out by Wang Shao, and Han Zhen, as Han Jiang's younger brother, was actually very angry by Wang Shao.
Although Han Zhen said that he could kill Wang Shao, it was a bit exaggerated, but there was definitely a reason. Guo Kui had reported Wang Shao's smuggling and selling of green salt to the Transportation Department, but with Zhang Yue's intercession, Han Zhen helped him suppress it.
As a result, Wang Shao turned his head and disowned Han Zhen's love.
Zhang Yueyan said: "Ambassador, there are two classes of people in the officialdom. One class works, and the other class is a human being. It seems that a man as talented as Huo Qubing would shoot Li Gan."
"I can't mistake this Wang Shao. He must be Huo Wei's talent."
What Zhang Yue is doing now is to wipe Wang Shao's ass.
Han Zhen was still dissatisfied and said: "It means Duzhi intercedes for him. If it had been anyone else, I wouldn't be able to tolerate him."
Zhang Yue said with a smile: "The prime minister must be able to hold the boat in his belly as a pacifier, otherwise he would not be here today."
After the two of them finished talking, Zhang Yue formally took the seal.
Officials like Zhang Yue naturally have a reception banquet when they take office. Zhang Yue will rush to Guwei tomorrow, which is all he wants to do.
However, Han Zhen said to Zhang Yue: "When Tongjian arrived but he didn't receive the banquet, and he didn't get to know the officials of the state, the Xixia people will be suspicious."
Zhang Yue thought that he was right, after all, he was the general judge of a state.
There is no reason why a general judge should not meet with current officials when he takes office.
In the early Song Dynasty, Tongpan was an official sent by the imperial court to monitor the magistrate. At that time, the magistrate was usually a military general, so the power of the tongpan sometimes even exceeded that of the magistrate.
The first thing the judge did after taking office was to take stock of the treasury.
He wanted to see if Zhizhou had any problems with his accounts, but Zhang Yue didn't come here to control Han Zhen, so he ignored them.
But Zhang Yue disappeared as soon as he took office, which is indeed strange.
At the reception banquet that night, Zhang Yue saw the officials signing letters to judge the official affairs of the government office, the military promotion officials, the Cao officials recording the affairs and joining the army, the managers joining the army, and the sihu joining the army.
Qinzhou is a Jiedu state and has a complete set of subordinate officials.
In addition to state officials, there are also county magistrates from Chengji County, Fuguo County.
In addition to civilian officials, there are also several military attachés. Among the military attachés, the one with the highest official position is Xiang Bao, who is in charge of the Qin Feng Road Military and Horse Command.
Among the generals along the way, the positions of Commander-in-Chief of Troops and Horses and Deputy Commander-in-Chief are the highest military positions. However, as a pacifier, Han Zhen also held the post of Commander-in-Chief of Troops and Horses. The former Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Troops and Horses Dou Shunqing had just been forced out by Wang Shao.
As the highest-ranking military commander, Xiang Bao was also at odds with Wang Shao. When Wang Shao established the Municipal Yi Division, Xiang Bao opposed it.
Xiang Bao and Wang Shao both dealt with the Hehuangfan tribe, but their methods were different.
Xiang Bao thought that the Tibetan people were afraid of power and not moral, so he attacked them and killed them, just to appease them. But Wang Shao used Shi Yisi to make friends with the Tibetan people, so the two fell out.
Wang Shao withstood the pressure. When Wang Shao first arrived in Qinzhou, he gave him the title of a judge. After he achieved military exploits, he was promoted to the position of manager and appeasement department, in charge of Gou's affairs. From then on, he never looked at Xiang Bao's face.
Han Zhen and Zhang Yue put on a good show in front of state officials.
It turned out that Zhang Yue said that when he checked the treasury, he thought some of the accounts were unclear and asked Han Zhen to give an explanation.
Han Zhen became furious in court and said that he had spent the money somewhere, but now there is no trace of this matter.
Zhang Yue and Han Zhen got into an argument in the hall. Officials of Qinzhou, big and small, were shocked when they saw this scene. For many years as an official, they had never seen a quarrel between the magistrate and the magistrate just after he took office.
However, Zhang Yue, the general magistrate, has the title of Zhi Zhi Gao, so it is normal for him not to take ordinary magistrates seriously.
But the problem is that Han Zhen is not an ordinary magistrate.
The two of them didn't give in at all, arguing to the point where each other flipped the table over.
When two tigers fight, one will be injured. After this quarrel, all the officials in the state looked sad. They were already thinking about how to stand between the magistrate and the judge in the future, or how to protect themselves wisely in the future.
The news that Zhang Yue and Han Zhen were scolding each other immediately spread throughout the officialdom of Qinzhou.
After Zhang Yue had a big quarrel with Han Zhen that day, he immediately claimed that he was ill. Claiming to be ill is an act of anger and a sign of weakness.
He was defeated without even fighting. Qinzhou officials laughed at Zhang Yue's move and thought it was too childish.
How could officialdom be so chaotic?
In fact, Zhang Yue secretly left Qinzhou City under the cover of darkness before dawn on the second day of the quarrel between Zhang Yue and Han Zhen.
Because he claimed to be ill, officials in Qinzhou would not doubt Zhang Yue's whereabouts.
Han Zhen personally escorted Zhang Yue out of the city. He was also worried that Zhang Yue would be uneasy on the way to Guwei, so he sent another twenty Xiang troops to guard him. These people were also under Han Tong's command.
In addition to Han Tong, Tang Jiu, Zhang Gong and others, there was another person, and that was Qin Fenglu who took charge of Liu Xishi.
Liu Xishi was a eunuch, and as a runner, he took on the role of supervising the army. This time he went to the ancient Wei Dynasty with Zhang Yue to supervise the army.
The sky was still dark and the wind was fierce. Han Zhen took off his big cloak and put it on Zhang Yue, saying, "It will be much colder in Guwei than in Qinzhou. You can wear more clothes to keep out the cold."
Liu Xishi, who was walking aside, sighed when he saw the two of them acting like this.
Life is like a play, and it all depends on acting. The quarrel between Han Zhen and Zhang Yue last night was all staged. In Liu Xishi's heart, it was obvious that Han Zhen and Zhang Yue were both capable of winning the statuette.
Zhang Yue put on Han Zhen's cloak and did not thank him, but said: "Zhang went to Guwei to fight in front of him, and he relied on the comfort envoys behind him."
Han Zhen nodded and said: "I don't dare to take it seriously. In fact, my Han family relies on Du's talent. If you have any instructions, just send someone to take the message."
Han Jiang's attack on Hengshan was very difficult, but Ruo Zhangyue's momentum of using a partial force to attack the main force was different. But once it fails, not only the Han family will plummet, but the country will also lose several years of vitality.
Zhang Yue took out a note from his sleeve and said, "This is written by Zhang to the officials. I also ask Mr. Han to transcribe it for me!"
The ministers of the two systems have the power to report to the officials, but Zhang Yue, as the general magistrate of Qinzhou, reported to the officials alone, which meant that he could bypass Han Zhen and go up to the next level to report.
Now Zhang Yue simply handed over Zazi to Han Zhen and asked him to hand it over to him.
Zhang Yue is now like a general leading troops fighting abroad. He needs a stable rear, so he must have a good relationship with Han Zhen.
When Han Zhen saw this, he was also very sympathetic to Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue got on his horse, said goodbye to Han Zhen, and headed west.
Han Zhen watched Zhang Yue leave on horseback, and his close staff couldn't help but be surprised when they saw this scene.
The other party asked: "When the transfer envoy arrived in Qinzhou, I didn't see my husband being so respectful. This chapter only lasted one day, and my husband took off his clothes and sent me off overnight. Why is this?"
Han Zhen said: "Now the honor and disgrace of my Han family are tied to him. Besides, this son is a figure like Xiao He, and he will definitely achieve great things here!"
"It seems that both of us brothers will have to rely on him in the future."
A few days later, money, food, ordnance and weapons were transported in large quantities from Qinzhou City to the ancient Weizhai.
Zhang Yue left Qinzhou City and headed west. He first passed Sanyang Village, then Dingxi Village, and then arrived at Fuqiang City.
Along the way, Zhang Yue could feel the miracle of human power.
Because the Song Dynasty was on the defensive against Xixia and the Qing and Tang Dynasties, dense fortresses were built on the borders.
Anyone who calls it a village is called a stronghold, the big one is nine hundred steps in circumference, and the small one is five hundred steps in circumference. Those called a fortress are called a fortress, the big one is two hundred steps in circumference, and the small one is a hundred steps in circumference. This Fuqiang City is more than 900 paces, so it is called a city.
During the reign of Renzong alone, the Song army built more than 70 such forts in Shaanxi.
There is a subordinate relationship between the villages and forts. For example, the county and the army are the first-level administrative units, followed by the city, village and fort. For example, Chengji County has 39 villages under its jurisdiction, Fuqiang City has 11 forts, and Sanyang Village has its jurisdiction. Lead the fourteen forts in Weibin.
After decades of management by the Song Dynasty, there were more forts on the border of Shaanxi Province.
Today, the Song Army has 300,000 regular troops stationed in Shaanxi, as well as 150,000 local warriors. It is impossible for such a large number of soldiers and horses to rely on the court's supply. Therefore, the court gives the garrison soldiers who guard the forts the treatment of farming, and the archers Each person was given two hectares of land, and those with horses were given an additional fifty acres.
Since the fourth year of Zhiping, the fortresses of the Song army have mostly relied on the Tibetan army to defend themselves against the enemy. The Tibetan army for each fort ranged from two to three hundred to six to seven thousand.
Not to mention the sky-high cost of building the fortress, just talking about the hundreds of thousands of troops stationed there, the amount of military rations and horses required is also an astronomical figure.
Therefore, the scholar-bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty said that all the world's basic wealth had been transported to the northwest. As a result, Guanzhong, the capital of the Han and Tang Dynasties, gradually became depressed. The officials were eager to capture Hengshan because they also wanted to get rid of this bottomless financial pit.
Zhang Yue rested all night in Fuqiang City. The magistrate of Fuqiang City did not know Zhang Yue's identity and did not receive him.
Early the next morning, Zhang Yue left Fuqiang City, and Han Tong and his entourage began to feel nervous on their faces.
After leaving Fuqiang City, we are in a place where Han and Han people live together, and public security cannot be guaranteed.
A soldier said to Zhang Yue: "You can rest forty miles to the west when you reach Yongning Village. It's best not to rest here."
Zhang Yue heard this and said with some thought: "It turns out that the front is Yongning Village."
The most famous thing about Yongning Village is the Yongning Horse Market. From the Later Zhou Dynasty to the Zhiping Period, it was always the place where horses were marketed by the Tibetan tribes in the Song Dynasty.
It is well known that the Song Army lacked horses, and the Yongning Horse Market contributed a lot.
In the fifth year of Jiayou's reign, Xue Xiang, the transshipment envoy from Shaanxi Province, discovered business opportunities. He petitioned the court to buy horses from the Tibetan tribe with salt banknotes. Every year, he could get 8,000 good horses, 5,000 of which were given to the army and cavalry along the border, and 3,000 of which were sent to the herding department. .
Afterwards, Xue Xiang, who tasted the sweetness, started printing money and used salt money to buy horses from the Tibetan tribe. Later, Zhang Yue set up an exchange to suppress the salt money that first exploded in inflation and then deflation.
But today's Yongning horse market is in depression. Wang Shao established a market exchange in Guwei, further west of Yongning village, which replaced the role of Yongning horse market.
Through the transaction between the market and the Tibetan market, there is also the support of the salt banknotes of the Exchange.
Wang Shao got rid of Qin Fenglu's support in ancient Weizhai and obtained an independent source of wealth. With independent financial resources, Wang Shao has a strong waist and does not need to look at anyone's face. Therefore, Wang Shao dared to fall out with the three Qin Feng Road managers and appeasement envoys. This is also the source of Wang Shao's confidence.
Zhang Yue heard that Wang Shao was recruiting troops in ancient Wei and felt good about himself.
A few days ago, Zhang Yue heard from Cai Jing that Wang Shao planned to print his face on the new version of ten-guan salt banknotes.
This move is simply treasonous!
