    Chapter 298 Settling in Qinfeng Road Zhang Shixun and Lu Yijian looked at each other worriedly, fearing that Zhao Juan's request would change Zhao Juan's power in Shaanxi if Song Renzong agreed to it.  At that time, although Xia Song, Yin Zhu and others will be ostracized, with enough resistance, these ostracism will become dispensable.  What makes Lu Yijian and the others feel a little better is that fortunately Zhao Juan has fallen into the trap, and now he is showing off his tricks, which is enough to make Zhao Juan's life in Shaanxi not easy.  "In the official family, although Qin Feng Road is not the main battlefield, it is also an extremely important place. I feel that a pacifier is not enough to stabilize Qin Feng Road!" Zhao Juan said.  Song Renzong hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "You can add the posts of economic envoy and pacification envoy, but they are just a way of dividing the road. Therefore, you still need to obey Xia (Cong) Aiqing's orders and dispatches. Is there any problem?" "Brother Chen,  I think this is also necessary!" Zhao Juan did not object, and he also knew that objection would be of no use.  Song Renzong was wary of Xia Song, and he also didn't necessarily have much trust in Zhao Song.  On the one hand, it mixed sand in Shaanxi, and on the other hand, it also put a shackles on Zhao Juan.  This is what the emperors of the Song Dynasty were best at doing. The chaos of the vassal towns in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms caused the Northern Song Dynasty to go from one extreme to the other.  "I am in the Privy Council and I am familiar with the important military affairs of the Song Dynasty. I know that the imperial court is preparing to launch a war against Xixia next year or even this year. It is intended to revive the low morale. In this case, I also need to make some cooperation.  , But in Qinfeng Road, and even in Shaanxi, I don¡¯t have a familiar army! I¡¯m afraid that when the time comes, there will be more failure than success,¡± said Zhao Juan.  Lu Yijian interjected: "The Shengjie Army seems to have been founded by the prince. Why do you say there are no familiar soldiers and horses?" "Although it was founded by the king, how many years have passed?" Zhao Juan immediately retorted.  "And what is Xianggong Lu's intention? I am a relative of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and will never contact the old army privately. Therefore, my relationship with Shengjie Army is only a relationship in name only!" Song Renzong waved his hand.  .  Stopping Lu Yijian who was about to retort, he said slowly: "Then what is the request of the seventh brother? Will the Shengjie Army on Jingyuan Road be transferred to your command?" Song Renzong was expressionless at this moment and called Huang Yidian.  Everyone is more or less uneasy.  What did Song Renzong think?  Do you really want to transfer Shengjie's army to King Wei's command?  The Shengjie Army is a strong army, and it has been further strengthened after it was stationed in Shaanxi.  The establishment is no longer three thousand people.  But four thousand five hundred.  The actual number was about four thousand, and there were about a thousand cavalry among them.  It is important to know what the Song army is like. There are often tens of thousands of troops.  There are only a few hundred cavalry. Even if the generals and soldiers of the army are added together, there may not be thousands of cavalry.  The Shengjie Army can be said to be a well-known and powerful army in Shaanxi.  Although it was impossible for Zhao Juan not to have any thoughts about the Shengjie Army, he knew that this was more likely to be a test by Song Renzong.  Moreover, he had never thought about defeating the Jie army before, so Zhao Juan quickly controlled his desire, shook his head happily, and said: "How dare I ask for such a powerful army? I am just a branch of the enemy."  Jinglue appeased the envoy, saying that the victorious army should be better off with Xia Jinglue." After hearing this.  Song Renzong looked a little more cheerful and asked: "What do you mean by the seventh brother?" "Please ask the emperor's brother for approval. I will transfer Guangjing's army from Guangnan West Road to Qinfeng Road and put it under my command!" Zhao Jian owed it.  He leaned forward and said solemnly.  Song Renzong of Guangjing Army also knew something about it. After all, it was impossible for him not to pay attention to Zhao Juan.  He knew better that this was a side army.  Although he was trained well by Zhao Juan, in the end he was just a soldier!  The treatment of the Xiang soldiers is far worse than that of the Forbidden Army. The Forbidden Army spends fifty thousand yuan a year, which is fifty guan. This is the imperial court's expenditure on the Forbidden Army.  The Xiang soldiers cost 30,000 yuan a year.  At first glance, the difference is not particularly big.  In fact, this is not the case. The labor tasks of Xiang soldiers are very heavy, just like Zhao Juan building the Tokyo Stadium, but even though Xiang soldiers were used, they were not given a penny.  If we insist on saying that money was given, it means that food was provided to the soldiers during the construction period.  Therefore, it is not surprising that in some places, the benefits of a soldier's year's work are more than the military salary he receives.  Therefore, the situation of fleeing soldiers in the Northern Song Dynasty was also serious.  The preconceived idea made Song Renzong's first impression was that he felt very ordinary about the Guangjing Army, so without much hesitation, Song Renzong happily bowed his head and said: "Since the seventh brother is making such a request, how can I refuse? So I obeyed.  What you said, Ye Aiqing, come and draft the edict!" Song Renzong said that Ye Aiqing's surname was Ye Qingchen, and his courtesy name was Daoqing.  A native of Changzhou (today's Suzhou), he was ranked second in the second year of Tiansheng's reign and served successively in the library.  nowHe was trusted by Song Renzong when he served as Zhizhigao. There were rumors among the people that Song Renzong wanted to replace Zheng Jian with Ye Qingchen as the third envoy.  Although Zheng Jian was promoted from the position of Kaifeng Mansion to the position of Third Secretary not long ago, the position of Third Secretary is extremely important. Although he is not the prime minister, he is known as the Prime Minister.  Therefore, the three envoys have never been able to serve for a long time. It is very impressive to be able to serve for three years. Most of them were promoted to other places after less than one year.  Zhao Juan glanced sideways at Ye Qingchen and found that he was very thin and his appearance was not handsome, but he still gave people a good-looking feeling.  And if Zhao Jian remembers correctly, the current Third Secretary Zheng Jian was born in the top three in the second year of Tiansheng, while Ye Qingchen was born in the second place in the second year of Tiansheng.  The relationship between the two will definitely not be so weak.  What I have to say here is that Zhao Jian's former master Song Xiang was the number one scholar in the second year of Tiansheng, and his younger brother Song Qi was the Zhizhigao. Although he was not as good as Ye Qingchen in receiving the holy favor, he should not be underestimated.  characters.  Now Zhao Juan discovered that without knowing it, Song Renzong had quietly promoted a large number of Jinshi who were born in the second year of Tiansheng to high positions.  Although Lu Yijian and Zhang Shixun, veterans who stayed from the time of Song Zhenzong and Liu E, still held high positions of power, their foundations were no longer as stable as in the past.  Just when Zhao Juan was thinking, Song Shou stood up and objected: "Guan, please think twice! The Guangjing Army is stationed on Guangnan West Road, which is the northwest of our Song Dynasty, and Qinfeng Road is located on our Song Dynasty  In the extreme southwest, one south and one north, the span is not only thousands of miles away? Not only the soldiers have to work hard, but also the acclimatization is a serious problem. In the past, the Forbidden Army was stationed in Guangnan.  The soldiers are stationed in Shaanxi, I'm afraid it's even worse than this! This order only hurts the military strength, and it also adds thousands of innocent souls along the way!" Song Shou said it very seriously, but he meant every word of it.  It seems that he is complaining about the injustice of these Guangjing Army soldiers, but in fact he is mocking Zhao Jin. How can he lead troops to fight if he doesn't even know how to try this?  Song Renzong had never thought about this issue before, but now that he heard what Song Shou said, he immediately regretted it.  When Song Renzong saw that there were many gray-haired people taking part in the imperial examination, he couldn't help but increase the number of people who passed the imperial examination.  Later, it was ordered that as long as the number of imperial examinations reached a certain number, one could participate in alternative imperial examinations.  This imperial examination is actually to reduce the difficulty and make it easier for old scholars to pass.  Now that he heard that thousands of people were going to die, Song Renzong felt horrified just thinking about it. No wonder he had just agreed to Zhao Juan's offer.  "Seventh brother, let me forget about this matter? If so many people are going to die, I think it is better for you to recruit an army of soldiers and horses on the spot. I promise a strength of five thousand people!" Zhao Yan shook his head and said calmly: "Brother Imperial,  There will be fatigue on the road, and there will be acclimatization, but it won't be this serious. "Is this feasible?" Song Renzong is still doubtful, after all, it won't be so serious.  The problem has plagued China for thousands of years.  In fact, if it were not for the problem of acclimatization, China's expansion would be faster and its immigration intensity would be even greater.  "My lord, I know that you are eager to perform meritorious service, but you cannot joke with the lives of soldiers! Even if you are a soldier, they are very precious!" Song Shou said helplessly, as if he was really dedicated to serving the public.  Zhao Juan secretly resented that these guys really failed to accomplish anything but failed!  Fortunately, Zhao Juan had already prepared his words before and said confidently: "Brother Emperor, since I dare to say this, I will not joke about the lives of the soldiers of the Guangjing Army. After all, I personally sent people to recruit the Guangjing Army.  Yes, my brother also has feelings for the Guangjing Army. I think it is better to let the soldiers of the Guangjing Army go north, but if there is anyone who is unwilling, they can go back south on their own if the acclimatization is serious.  Yes, there is no need to send officials to investigate, and the soldiers will not joke with their own lives, right?" When Song Renzong heard this, he nodded and said, "Seventh brother, this is feasible, so let's do it!"  Zhao Juan did not just let it go, but also asked Song Renzong to transfer some of his old troops to his command.  This was also necessary, and Song Renzong readily agreed. However, because Lu Yijian interfered, the number of subordinates allowed to be dispatched to his command was greatly reduced.  Only Zhou Xin, who was in charge of criminal and prison affairs on Guangnan West Road, and Sun Pengyuan and Song Boyin, the heads of the transportation department, were transferred to Zhao Jian's command.  In addition, Zhao Jian also obtained more than 20 documents for the prosecution of officials. There should have been more than 50, but because Lu Yijian interfered, the number was reduced sharply.  These confession documents, Zhao Juan, are all preparing to promote officials from the Guozi Academy on Guangnan West Road. On the one hand, they are from the Guozi Academy and have sufficient loyalty to Zhao Juan.  On the other hand, the education methods they receive tend to be pragmatic, and through systematic education,After some training, I will be more proficient in handling tedious chores than ordinary clerks.
