Dad, this seems to be the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 187
The days are so watery, watery and watery for several months.

Sun Yue, who has nothing to do at home and has nothing to do, is addicted to the strategy of Twelve Golden Flowers and can't extricate himself. It is a joy to play. Although no one has succeeded in the strategy for several months, he is not in a hurry. Anyway, he For the time being, even if the strategy is down, it won't work.

Maybe Sun Yue should be glad that he lost his position in the Privy Council, otherwise he would probably go crazy again at this time.

Because in the court, a huge storm struck without warning and swept away almost everyone.

Zhao Guangyi was filled with righteous indignation, pointed at Zhao Pu's nose impassionedly and cursed: "Eleven magistrates, 46 county magistrates, three divisions and six divisions were mobilized to make a disaster relief plan that lasted more than half a month. How could it be rejected? More than [-] hungry people in Huainan are waiting to be fed You are still playing football with me over and over again? The surname Zhao, has your conscience been eaten by a dog? Do you still deserve the official uniform you are wearing!"

Zhao Pu smiled indifferently and said, "Second King, your plan costs too much money. Don't you really know how much money the court has saved in the past two years? For example, the Jiangling army rations are prepared for the conquest of Shu." Yes, if all the people in Huainan are assisted according to what you said, then this Shu will not be conquered? The wolf ambition of Meng Chang is well known even by Huang Kou, what if he fights? Are the soldiers going to fight hungry? Is it? Mr. Shen, you are in charge of the money bag of our Great Song Dynasty, you said, can the court afford disaster relief like the Second Great King?"

Shen Yilun smiled wryly and said: "This...ha, the situation of the household department is indeed quite tense now. Compared with the fact that they just used troops against Hunan and Jingnan this year, not only did they have no income, but their tea tax was also reduced or exempted. It is indeed a bit difficult to make ends meet by conferring rewards on generals and soldiers, and making troubles with Tubo, etc., but what the second king said is also reasonable. There are already [-] hungry people in Huainan. If the court does nothing, they will starve. There were a lot of wars in Huainan in [-]. Every family has no surplus food, and the people's hearts are not attached. If they can't let them see the benevolence of the court towards them, I'm afraid... it's not good. If something goes wrong, the consequences Unbelievable."

Zhao Guangyi said angrily: "Isn't this farting? Then tell me, this money is not spent."

"Second king, I'm in charge of the money. As for how to spend the money, it's up to the officials to decide."

Zhao Guangyi was in a hurry, and gave this guy a vicious look, not caring about the courtesies, and said directly: "Brother! The disaster is imminent, we can't delay any longer!"

Zhao Pu also said: "In the official family, the military situation is more urgent than the disaster situation."

Zhao Guangyi: "Then you said, the disaster in Huainan will not be saved?"

Zhao Pudao: "Rescue, we must save. The question is how to rescue. You can't do it. The officials and ministers here also have a disaster relief plan. Please have a look at the officials. The minister thinks that the great hunger in Huainan is exactly where the soldiers are recruited." It's a good time, as long as you choose the best and strong ones to join the army, the disaster situation will naturally ease, even if there is trouble, there will be no big troubles. In addition, the food for the disaster relief, I think I can borrow it from the Southern Tang Dynasty, and when the disaster situation passes in the future, Then the people in Huainan will repay it, if Nantang doesn’t borrow it, then these newly recruited soldiers can be used to teach them a lesson.”

Zhao Kuangyin opened Zhao Pu's booklet, smiled wryly, and asked the eunuch to pass it to Zhao Guangyi again, saying, "Second brother, you can also read it."

Zhao Guangyi accepted the memorial, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

This time, he lost again. Obviously, there is almost nothing in the current state affairs that can be separated from the military administration, so Zhao Pu can be regarded as his part in whatever he plays, and objectively speaking, Zhao Pu His disaster relief plan seems to be slightly better than his, because he also knows that the treasury has no money.

But what the hell, Zhao Pu had a plan early on, and even their Privy Council has been making plans in this regard, but they didn't even reveal it to themselves. This is clearly intentional!

Zhao Kuangyin rubbed his temples, and said helplessly, "Old Shen, take a look and see if there are any mistakes."

Shen Yilun took the memorial, but he was not in a hurry to read it. Instead, he took a look at Zhao Guangyi first, and was relieved when he saw his resignation. After reading it almost at a glance, he said: "I think, Zhao Guangyi This is the words of a certain country, the privy secretary, so the pressure on the treasury will be greatly reduced, and the minister can also save some worries."

"Well, that's good, then let's do this, I'm tired, I'm going to retreat."

Civil and military officials came out one by one, today's Sanchao was much quieter than before, no one whispered to each other, instead they all left quickly.

On the contrary, Zhao Pu walked to Zhao Guangyi's side with a smile and said: "The Second King has worked hard, and I also know that the Second King has worked hard for several days for this disaster relief, why don't I treat you to Fengle Building, let's have a drink ?”

Shen Yilun immediately came over to smooth things over and said: "Yes, yes, Fengle Lou has recently launched a lychee-flavored beer. It is said that the response has been good. It is a rare treat for Privy Zhao. Second King, let's go and try it?"

Zhao Guangyi snorted coldly: "I am busy with things, not as free as you."

With that said, Zhao Guangyi tossed his sleeves and left without looking back, leaving only Shen Yilun with a wry smile and Zhao Pu with an indifferent expression. "Ms. Shen, since it's inconvenient for the Second King, why don't we go have a drink and talk about this disaster relief incident."

"It's… okay."

All of this was naturally seen by Zhao Kuangyin, and he could only sigh helplessly in his heart.

His younger brother, compared to Zhao Pu, is still too tender after all.

In fact, Zhao Kuangyin has already prepared for all these things today. He is not a child. How can there be a court without disputes in this world? The era of Zhao Pu's dominance must pass. This is also his need. Unfortunately, he This younger brother's level is a bit poor, even if he pulls a sideways frame, he can't fix him.

There is nothing that can be done about it. Zhao Guangyi is actually very good. After all, he was just a playboy before the founding of the Song Dynasty. I have always seen what he has done over the years. He has really worked hard. It's a pity that he is facing the wily and calculating Zhao Pu. If he wants to wrestle with him, I'm afraid this brother will have to work hard for a few years.

The Great Song Dynasty at this time is still very different from the later ones. The Zhengshitang is almost an empty shell now. Fan, Wang, and Wei are also sensible. , Money, these three things, they don't fart, so almost [-]% of the power is in the hands of the Privy Council.

And because of Zhao Guangyi's special status, he has always had a good relationship with the pure civil officials in the court. What's more, he also holds the false title of Zhongshu Ling, so the pure civil official group is basically surrounded by him. Compared with Zhao Pu, his power is still very weak, but Zhao Kuangyin can pull it off.

It's a pity that the gap between the two is still a bit big. Zhao Pu is really too scheming. Zhao Kuangyin is so scheming that sometimes he doesn't know where to pull it off when he wants to get sidetracked. Shen Yilun is a good old man who can't offend anyone, so the court In fact, Zhao Pu's family is still the only one now, and Zhao Guangyi's Zhongshuling seems to be of no use.

What Sun Yue feared the most still happened.
