    Chapter 282 Shaanxi Affairs [Part 2] Song Renzong's face also became a little solemn, he chinned slightly and said, "Let's talk about the price of the journey to Jingzhao Mansion first!" "Yes!" Song Shou promised and replied seriously.  : "The average wage for a hired worker is about seventy cents a day. A porter can carry one stone of food, but the speed is much slower, and food must be included. A porter can walk about forty miles a day, and maybe sometimes  The distance will be longer or shorter, depending on where you stay, but it is also very troublesome. The whole journey from Shaanzhou to Jingzhaofu is about 500 miles, and even if you speed up, it will take twelve days.  If you eat two liters of rice a day, you will need two buckets and four liters after twelve days. Including the loss on the road, it will be about two buckets and five liters. In addition, there are return expenses, which will cost another two buckets and five liters if it is sent directly to Beijing.  Zhaofu, I was afraid that it would be reduced by half! In addition, it will cost about 840 yuan for shipping and 160 yuan for return fares." Song Renzong calculated in his mind and his face turned dark.  Not to mention that sending one stone to Jingzhao Mansion would be discounted in half, and the shipping cost alone would cost a lot of money. If the cost of buying food is included, this one stone of grain would cost about two thousand and five hundred Wen in Jingzhao Mansion.  It is more than seven times the price of food in Bianliang City!  This does not include the cost of transportation from Jingzhao Prefecture to Yanzhou!  The journey here is even longer, a full 750 miles, and it has reached the plateau and mountainous areas. Whether it is roads or resting places, the journey from Shaanzhou to Jingzhaofu is not easy.  Song Shou coughed and said: "Actually, this is just the price of a porter. If you hire someone with a cart, the quantity of transportation will be greater, and the price will be much higher. But it needs an official road to get there. Otherwise, this cart really can't move.  To the destination. The cart costs about three guan, but it can transport three shi of grain. At first glance, it is similar to that of a porter, but the cart only requires one person, and it only costs one dan of rice to go back and forth. " Song  What Shou said was true, but no matter how Song Renzong calculated it, the price he got was enough to make his little heart shrink violently. ?????????????????????????????????????????????? off.  In other words, one stone of grain requires an average of six hundred cash!  Song Renzong's life is a little better now, but his taxes have been reduced for one year.  Not counting taxes in kind such as grain and cloth, as well as monetary taxes such as copper coins, the amount is only around 6 million coins a year!  Song Renzong looked at Xia Shouyun apologetically, and said with a little embarrassment: "Xia Aiqing, you have seen and heard the current situation. I really don't know how many forbidden troops I can send! Alas! This country is really"  Shaking his head, Song Renzong didn't know whether he didn't know what to say, or was afraid that he would say something that he shouldn't have said, which would make Zhang Shixun, Lu Yijian and other old guys angry and clamoring to sue and return home.  What can Xia Shouyun do?  I can only bite the bullet.  "No matter how many troops there are, I will fight to the death for the government to resist Xixia!" Song Renzong sighed in his heart: What a good minister!  If all the ministers were like this.  How great would that be?  One or two will ask me for money and food. I am the supreme person in the world, but I am not the richest in the world!  Zhao Juan can't see it. If you continue like this, what kind of Shaanxi will Xia Shouyun keep? It would be strange if Li Yuanhao doesn't come back the next year!  Zhao Yan coughed, and everyone's attention fell on the prince, who had always been very low-key except for his appearance.  Lu Yijian and Zhang Shixun didn't know whether it was intentional or true, but they actually acted like it.  ah!  There is actually such a person here!  Damn it!  When you are plotting against me, I don¡¯t see you ignoring me so much!  The slander in his heart was the slander in his heart, but Zhao Yan's face looked calm.  Taking a step forward, he cupped his hands to Song Renzong and said, "Brother Emperor. I have heard a saying that a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice! Although it is said that the court has no food and no money, no matter what, you have to grit your teeth, otherwise you will die.  Just give up on Shaanxi." "How can we talk about giving up the land of our ancestors! Seventh brother, what are you talking about? Aren't you afraid of embarrassing my ancestors?" Song Renzong looked furious and slapped him.  Black book case, glaring at Zhao Yan.  Zhao Juan was not afraid at all. He glanced at Lu Yijian, then at Song Shou, and said calmly: "Brother Emperor, it's not that I want to give up Shaanxi and the land of my ancestors. It's that my husband has said so.  What else can be done? One said there was no food, another said there was no money, and here they said the freight was expensive! They all said that Shaanxi was useless. It would be a pity to abandon it if it was tasteless. So we might as well just follow Cao A'an's example and throw away Hanzhong.  Give it to Liu Da'er!" Lu Yijian screamed in his heart, this little fox is really difficult to deal with, and he turned the fire that was directed at him back on him without saying a word.  Seeing Song Renzong look at him suspiciously,?Lv Yijian himself did not slander Zhao Juan in his heart, but on the surface he still looked calm and calm, and said uprightly: "In the official family, would the veteran be such a person? What the veteran said was not that he did not want Shaanxi, but that he was asking for help.  The officials sent people to dredge the river section from Shaanzhou to Jingzhao Prefecture, so that the grain from Jiangnan could go directly to Jingzhao Prefecture through the Bianhe River and the Yellow River, and then change into small boats at Jingzhao Prefecture and transport it to Ganquan County in the north of Yanzhou.  , use it as a granary. If the officials are afraid that Ganquan is too close to Xixia, they can also set it up in Luojiao County, the south of Ganquan. " Zhao Jian has nothing to say.  Song Renzong also knew that dredging this section of the river would not only cost money and food, but also require a lot of manpower.  If there is no manpower left, where will the people come to transport food to Shaanxi?  As for Shaanxi's self-sufficiency, this was easy to say in the past.  The problem is that Yanzhou was severely damaged by Xixia this time, and the amount of money and food needed was huge. It was inevitable that food would suddenly become tense.  In the end, Song Renzong still couldn't get attention and asked Zhang Shixun: "Dong Ying, how many troops do you think should be sent to Shaanxi?" Zhang Shixun thought seriously for a while and said: "The officials and veterans think we should send the three armies.  ! After all, there is no need to attack Xixia now, just defend Shaanxi. And with so many troops, they are planning to attack Xixia this year! I don't think the Xixia thieves will attack first if they add all the original troops.  It stimulates the Xixia people, and the small force also has its advantages. At least Shaanxi will have an easier time in terms of money and food supply! " "That said, I feel that Sichuan also needs to make great efforts in this regard!" Zhao Jian's master Song Song!  Xiang came out and offered advice.  Song Renzong nodded and said happily: "This is a good strategy. The Central Plains has no strength. Sichuan is the capital of heaven, so food is easy to talk about. Immediately draft an edict and ask Sichuan to send a batch of food to Shaanxi as soon as possible no matter what!  Thirty thousand stones are ready!" Lu Yijian was afraid that Song Renzong would be overjoyed, so he quickly reminded: "Guan family, now is the time when there is no harvest, and there is spring plowing. If you transport too much grain, it will hurt the farmers.  The price has increased, and the amount of grain sent to Shaanxi needs to be cautious! Although thirty thousand shi is not much, the damage on the road is even greater. It is a big pressure for Sichuan now. " Song Renzong saw that Lu Yijian said this, and he also felt that it made sense!  , nodded and said: "Lu Aiqing's words make sense. As for how much to send, let your Dongfu discuss it and then send it to me!" Zhao Yan knew that Song Renzong changed his words so quickly because he was afraid of Sichuan. Sichuan  It was a famously rebellious province in the Song Dynasty.  For this reason, the Song Dynasty divided Shu into four regions to prevent officials there from having undue ambitions. This is also the origin of the name Sichuan.  However, the land of Sichuan was still restless in the Song Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, there were powerful uprisings by Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun. By the time of Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty, there were also uprisings by soldiers and soldiers Wang Jun. Even Yizhou, which is now Chengdu,  All were captured.  As for small-scale civil unrest and local rebellions, it can be said that they occur year after year, which means that in recent years, things have become more peaceful.  However, Song Renzong did not dare to provoke these Sichuan people, they were too tough!  I can¡¯t afford to be hurt!  Is there any!  At this time, Song Renzong remembered Xia Shouyun and asked somewhat angrily: "Xia Aiqing, what do you think of the strength of the three armies?" The three armies have a full strength of 7,500 people. Although it is compact, it is not bad.  The problem isI'm not satisfied with making it up!  It is estimated that there are only 5,400 to 500 people.  Xia Shouyun did not speak, but looked at Song Renzong eagerly.  That look seemed to say, Guan family, can you bear it?  This made Song Renzong very embarrassed, not only for his superiors, but also for his subordinates.  Zhao Jian coughed and said: "My brother is not talented. He has led troops in some small battles and is familiar with some situations. If you want to defend a land, the best thing is to recruit soldiers from this land. Because these soldiers are very important to this land."  They are very familiar and attached to them. Their families and fields are here, so they will fight with their lives during the battle. If it is just to defend the invasion of the Xixia Army, it would be good to recruit local heroes." Song Renzong was overjoyed when he heard this and was very busy!  He nodded and promised: "Seventh brother is right, the forbidden army is a little less, so be it! Xia Aiqing, I allow you to recruit 10,000 local warriors on your own, and I will have people allocate them to you immediately!" Xia Shouyun also knows  Things could only come to this point, and he said helplessly: "Old minister, I obey! I will consolidate Shaanxi as an official!" After saying that, Xia Shouyun stepped back and secretly gave Zhao Juan a grateful look.     well!  It¡¯s all about my own family!  Lu Yijian and other scholar-bureaucrats are all beasts that eat people without spitting out their bones!  I've remembered it all, Lu Yijian, don't give me a chance to catch him, otherwise I won't be able to spare you, you bastard!  No matter what I say, I want you to??Have a blast!  Xia Shouyun secretly swore in his heart.  If it weren¡¯t for Zhao Juan, Xia Shouyun would have been tricked by Lu Yijian and other scholar-bureaucrats.  Of course, Zhao Juan didn't think that Xia Shouyun could go anywhere if he spoke twice. The pit was still very deep.  The former will knock you to pieces, and the latter will knock you to pieces, both of which will result in death.  (To be continued.
