After hearing Quan Zicai's words, Hao Jing replied, "Mr. Xianfeng, you are a cheerful person."

"I've been ordered by the fourth prince to do this, and naturally I want to get some benefits." Hao Jing replied.

Quanzi said: "this pioneer likes people with ideas most."

"To tell you the truth, if Mr. Hao Jing says that he wants nothing, the pioneer dare not cooperate with you!" He added.

After hearing this, Hao Jing said with a smile, "after you occupied Luoyang, the taxes in Luoyang area for three years are all under your control."

After hearing this, quanzi said to himself: "well, Hao Jing, you have too much appetite.

"What's the matter, Mr. Xianfeng? Don't you like it?" Seeing Quan Zicai's look, Hao Jing asked him.

Quanzicai replied: "this ..。”

"Since you don't like it, Mr. Xianfeng, I'll leave." Hao Jingdao said,

then he got up and tried to leave.

Quanzicai quickly reached out his hand to Haojing and said, "wait a minute, Mr. Hao."

"The business between us has not been completed. Mr. Xianfeng, do you want to detain me?" After listening to Quan Zicai's words, Hao Jing asked.

Quanzicai replied, "don't get me wrong, Mr. Hao."

"Sit down first. We can discuss your request slowly." He added.

After hearing this, Hao Jing knew that there was a door to this matter.

"I didn't expect you, Mr. Hao, as a scholar, to be so impatient." Quanzi is a pioneer.

Hao Jing said: "although I'm a scholar, I've been in Mongolia for a long time. I like to do things like them. I like to be quick and tidy."

Quan Zicai asked Hao Jing, "Mr. Hao, if you give you all the taxes in Luoyang for three years, then after the Song Dynasty regained Luoyang, don't the army stationed there drink from the west?"

"Mr. Xianfeng, if you occupy Luoyang, you will be promoted to a higher position immediately, and I can't get less benefits than Mr. Xianfeng, can I?" Hao Jing asked.

"How about just one year?" asked Hao Jing

"In fact, there are a lot of taxes in one year, sir. You can't eat them all your life." He added.

Hao Jingyi patted the table and said, "for the sake of being all song people, let's step back."

"What do you say?" After hearing this, Quan Zicai asked Hao Jingdao.

Hao Jing replied, "you will hand over Luoyang's taxes for two years to me. This is my bottom line. If you don't agree, I will have to go."

Quanzicai said just now that he would only pay taxes to Haojing for one year. In fact, he didn't expect Haojing to agree. He knew that he would make a counter-offer.

Quan Zicai pretended to be in a dilemma and said, "well, since you Mr. Hao spoke, it's better to pay taxes for two years."

"Then we'll sign an agreement so that you don't regret it." He added.

Hao Jing shook his head and said, "there's no need. I don't think you dare to keep your word."

"If you break your promise, even Hao Jing promised, I'm afraid the saber in our Mongolian warrior's hand won't agree." He added.

Quanzicai said: "Our Song Dynasty has always kept its promise. You can rest assured of that, Mr. Hao."

"You're the only one." Hao Jingdao.

Quanzicai said: "it's just one thing that is very difficult to do."

"What's the matter?" Hao Jing asked.

Quan Zicai replied: "the memorial to march into Luoyang has been played in Lin'an, but at present some people in the court are against marching into Luoyang."

"I know about it." Hao Jingdao.

He added: "just now I asked you for two years' tax in Luoyang as a reward. It's not for nothing."

"Mr. Hao, do you have a way to deal with Prime Minister Jia Sidao?" Quan Zicai asked Hao Jingdao.

Hao Jingdao said: "in the eyes of the officials of the Song Dynasty, that Jia Sidao is a very powerful task, but for our Mongolian Khan court, it's a piece of cake to deal with him."

"If you, Mr. Hao, can handle the prime minister Jia Sidao, the pioneer will make the decision and increase the taxes of Luoyang for another year." Quanzi is a pioneer.

After hearing this, Hao Jing's eyes lit up and asked, "Mr. Xianfeng, do you mean to set my salary as Luoyang's tax revenue for three years?"

"You're right!" Quanzicai replied.

Hao Jing replied, "well, Mr. Xianfeng, you are really a friend."

"When are you going to take action?" Quanzi asked.

Hao Jing replied, "I'll leave you soon. I'm going to go south."

"Before I leave, I have one more thing to ask of you, Mr. pioneer." He added.

Quanzicai asked: "what do you want from the pioneer?""Yes." Hao Jing replied.

He added: "I'm going south this time. It's a secret operation, but I'm an official under the four princes of Mongolia. I need you to get me an identity certificate."

"It's easy to do." After hearing this, Quan Zicai didn't even think about it, so he went on.

He added: "now you are here to drink tea and wait. I'll go to the study and get an identity certificate for you."

With that, the pioneer of quanzi got up and went to his study.

In a short time, the pioneer of quanzi came back to Haojing.

He handed a two sheet booklet to Hao Jing.

Quan Zicai said to Hao Jing, "our pioneer has made you the identity of a quartermaster officer of Bianliang garrison in Tokyo. If someone asks you, you will say that you went to Lin'an household department to ask for food and pay on our pioneer's order, so that no one dares to embarrass you."

"And if you don't want to stay in an inn, you can stay at the post station along the way." He added.

Hao Jing got up, bowed to Quan Zi and said, "Mr. Xianfeng, you are so careful with me."

"To help you, Mr. Hao, is to help ourselves. Why be polite." The whole son is talented.

Hao Jing said to Quan Zicai, "if there are no other problems, I'll leave and go to Lin'an."

"It's really urgent, but I don't care about the time today. Sir, it's not easy for you to go to Bianliang in Tokyo. Why don't you wait until the evening, and we'll have a banquet to entertain you, Mr. hao? You can leave early tomorrow morning, OK?" Quan Zi just asked Hao Jing.

Hao shied back and said, "Mr. Xianfeng's heart is in my heart. Let's forget it this time. I'd better wait until I come back after I've finished my work, and then I'll drink your wine from Mr. Xianfeng."

"Since you have your own arrangement, sir, I will not be reluctant." Quanzi is a pioneer.

In order to keep secret, the quanzicai pioneer didn't send Hao Jing out. Instead, he said goodbye to him in his mansion and left quanzicai pioneer's mansion alone .。

Just when the Minister of the central court was in a row about whether to march into Luoyang, the Minister of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang, came back.

Emperor LiZong had always been very appreciative of Lord Wen Tianxiang. When he heard that it was him who came back, he immediately found him in the imperial study.

In fact, even if he didn't summon Mr. Wen Tianxiang, Mr. Wen Tianxiang would ask to see the emperor.

When he was still in his hometown, Lu Xiufu wrote a letter to the Minister of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang.

In the letter, Lu Xiufu told the Minister of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang, about Zhang Shijie's troubles.

Although the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, was not in Lin'an, according to his experience, it is most likely that Prime Minister Jia Sidao made trouble out of it and framed Zhang Shijie, the head of the Ministry of war.

His heart is very anxious, but others are not in Lin'an, can only do anxious.

According to the prior arrangement, the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, will stay in his hometown for a few days. However, after receiving a letter from Lu Xiufu, who lives in his home, he can't stay in his hometown any longer.

Mr. Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, returned to Lin'an City ahead of time with his family.

"Ai Qing, you just came back. You should have had a good rest in your mansion, but now there is an important matter. I have to call you to the imperial study." Li Zong emperor road.

Minister Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, said: "my Lord, I am a minister of the Song Dynasty. I should serve you."

"My Lord, if you have anything to do, just tell me." He added.

Emperor LiZong of the great song dynasty said, "there is one thing, Xiangbi Aiqing. Have you heard about it?"

"What's the matter?" Minister Wen Tianxiang asked emperor LiZong.

Emperor LiZong replied, "it's the Bianliang garrison in Tokyo that wants to march into Luoyang."

"My Lord, my minister is in charge of the Ministry of punishment. This march into Luoyang is a military affair, and I don't know much about it." The Minister of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang, told emperor LiZong.

He didn't wait for emperor LiZong to speak. As soon as his tone changed, he said, "however, I can recommend someone to the emperor. He should be able to offer some advice to the emperor."

"Ai Qing, who did you recommend?" Emperor LiZong asked.

Zhang Shijie, the chief of the Ministry of war, replied, "this is the punishment."

"This man .。” After hearing this, Emperor LiZong said.

Lord Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, certainly knew about Zhang Shijie, the head of the Ministry of war, but he still asked on purpose, "what's the matter? Do you think this man is not allowed, my lord?"

"Ai Qing, you are not in Lin'an this time. There are some things you don't know." The emperor replied.

He then told the Minister of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang, about that day.

"My Lord, I think there is something strange in this matter." The Minister of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang, told emperor LiZong.He added: "but this has happened for some time. It will take some time to recheck."

"I mean, please let this matter go and call Zhang Shijie in." He added.

After listening to what the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, said, Emperor LiZong thought for a while, and then said, "well, I'll listen to you, Aiqing."

"Go to the gate of the city, convey my imperial edict, let Zhang Shijie return to his original post, and come to me as soon as possible." He told Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the University, that he would go.

After Zhang Shijie came, Emperor LiZong asked the Minister of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang, to tell him the purpose of calling him.

After hearing this, he asked emperor LiZong, "my Lord, do you want to recover Luoyang?"

"Luoyang is the territory of the great song dynasty. Of course, I want to take it back." Emperor LiZong answered.

He added: "but prime minister Jia, they are against sending troops to recover Luoyang at this time."

"Although he had different feelings for Jia, he had different feelings for Jia." Zhang Shijie said.

Emperor LiZong was a little displeased when he said that. He asked Zhang Shijie, "Zhang Aiqing, listen to what you mean. Are you against going to Luoyang?"

"I don't mean that." Zhang Shijie replied.

Emperor LiZong asked, "what do you mean?"

"If we have a chance to recover Luoyang, we will certainly have a chance." Zhang Shijie said.

He added: "but before Luoyang is recovered, enough food and grass must be prepared in Bianliang, Tokyo."

"My Lord, what Zhang Da said is very reasonable. Although the situation of Luoyang is better than that of Bianliang in Tokyo due to the long-term war in the north, once we recover, the current strength of Luoyang City will not be able to supply our garrison. If we mobilize food from the south at that time, it will certainly be impossible to save the fire from far water." The Minister of punishment Wen Tianxiang followed Zhang Shijie's words.

Zhang Shijie said: "Mr. Wen's analysis is quite right. If we want to recover Luoyang, we must first accumulate grain and grass in Bianliang, Tokyo, and reorganize the army. We must be fully prepared. Once we are defeated in attacking Luoyang, we can quickly mobilize grain and pay and subsequent army rescue from Bianliang, Tokyo."

"You even say that Luoyang can be recovered, but there are two steps. The first step is to take Bianliang in Tokyo as the base, and then to enter Luoyang, right?" Emperor LiZong asked after listening.

The Minister of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang, replied, "that's what I mean."

"How long will it take for this preparation?" Emperor LiZong asked.

Zhang Shijie replied: "according to my estimation, the preparation time will take at least one year."

"What, are you kidding me?" Emperor LiZong asked angrily.

He added: "for such a long time, I'm afraid the cucumbers are cold. Although you say that you agree to march into Luoyang, it's tantamount to procrastinating, and it won't be settled in the end."

"Your Majesty, if there is no sufficient preparation and the army makes mistakes, it will be doomed." This is Zhang Shijie.

After hearing this, Emperor LiZong said, "you are cowards. It's said that you are going to fight with the Mongols, so you are a little scared."

When he said that, he waved his hand and said to the Minister of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Shijie, "go down first and think about it carefully. I'll call you to discuss it in a few days."
