A Great Man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 1,714 Getting in the Car

The Third Secretary is not the Prime Minister, but he is not weaker than the Prime Minister.

This was a common understanding throughout the Song Dynasty, so much so that the three envoys were called Ji Xiang.

I don’t know who came up with the idea. Like the Privy Council, various ministries were mixed in the Third Division, so that the Ministry of Household Affairs became an empty frame.

If you can take charge of the third division, you will have the money bag of Song Dynasty.

Da Song’s money bag is in hand…

"Jun Shi, if the Third Secretary gets his hands on it, the New Deal... hahahahaha!"

Sima Guang didn't like Lu Hui very much. Really, especially when he saw him laughing wildly, his dislike became even more intense.

But no matter how much he didn't like it, he couldn't turn his back.

The old party is weird.

The boss Wen Yanbo is known as Wen Chunyu, spring rain spring rain, spring breeze turns into rain.

Naturally, the method of turning spring breeze into rain is to moisturize things quietly. In other words, you can't expect Wen Yanbo to go shirtless to oppose the New Deal. That's not his style.

Sima Guang was no good either. His method of opposing the New Deal was to remonstrate and debate with the New Deal.

Controversy... The New Deal side can grab any Bao Zheng and spray him with peach blossoms all over his face.

In other words, Wen Yanbo is the commander-in-chief and Sima Guang is the general, but they lack a forward who dares to fight.

Lu Hui played this role.

Without strong men to charge and kill, the old party will be annihilated and its morale will be low.

But there is still one strong figure in the New Deal who has not moved into his nest, and that is Wang Anshi.

Lao Wang has been thinking about the New Deal in recent years. Now that he has gone to Yushitai, the next step must be to become Prime Minister.

The impassioned Wang Anshi was not scary to Sima Guang, but the silent Wang Anshi made him a little afraid.

Wang Anshi...

That man has made great progress in the past few years!

Sima Guang fell into deep thought.

"... Han Jiang said that once the officials decided to make the Northern Expedition, he was guaranteed to raise enough money, but he was lying. Shen An had already rejected his request to embezzle money from the bank, where else could he get money? The officials rejected his request to use the expenses for the next year, what else does he have in mind? Hahahaha!"

Lu Hui smiled happily, and he suddenly choked up, "These past few years... these past few years have been hard! Jun Shi."

Sima Guang sighed and nodded slightly.

The old party has indeed been having a hard time in recent years and has been suppressed.

He looked at the choked Lu Hui and suddenly felt a lot of sympathy.

This person is the Prime Minister. If he follows the steps, he will be able to get a glimpse of the political hall sooner or later. But he stood on the opposite side of the New Deal without hesitation. Based on this, Sima Guang felt that this person was brave.

"Now, let's get Han Jiang down, and then suppress the Northern Expedition on the grounds that we don't have the money!"

Lu Hui's eyes were full of excitement, "Jun Shi, the Northern Expedition is okay, but it cannot be the Northern Expedition presided over by the New Deal! Otherwise..."

"I know." Of course Sima Guang knew this.

Once the Northern Expedition hosted by the New Deal succeeds, the prestige of the official family will be at its peak, and the New Deal will move forward unstoppably.

At that time, what means can the old party use?

At that time, the old party can only use explosive methods to tear off the face and take action directly.

But what are the odds of winning?

Sima Guang sighed, and immediately felt a little happy.

"It takes two years, only two years, and then we will all work together." Lu Jie said hopefully: "If we preside over the Northern Expedition, Junshi, those new policies that have harmed the country and the people will become a passing smoke."

yes!

If the Northern Expedition was presided over by the old party, the old party's prestige would soar to the sky, and those scholar-officials would make a noise, and the entire Song Dynasty would shout with the same voice.

——Abolish the New Deal!

I think people all over the world will celebrate with their foreheads and hands.

Sima Guang closed his eyes...

"Sima Gong is here, and the world will be saved!"

If history remains unchanged, many years later, Sima Guang returned to Bianliang from Luoyang in this atmosphere of the return of the king.

The whole world is paying attention and everyone is cheering.

This is the return of the king.

"I have returned to the Yushitai. Junshi, you are waiting for good news about me."

Lu Ji left in a hurry. Later, Han Jiang was attacked again and was badly burned.

"Who leaked it?"

He summoned the officials of the Third Division to discuss matters, and looked at these innocent-looking subordinates coldly, feeling that people's hearts were really unpredictable.

"If I find out who is colluding with those people, I will definitely take him to Jiaozhi later!"

Han Jiang said harsh words, but at this precarious time, he couldn't care less about revenge.

Everyone left the duty room. Han Jiang's confidants looked solemn, while others looked blank.

Everyone dispersed, and then some people laughed softly, and some people were happy.

You can never expect everyone to be united. People are selfish. When the current environment will harm his interests, you cannot expect him to support this environment.

That's why there is a saying that the minority obeys the majority.

"Prime Minister Han smashed something!"

"Well, this is desperate."

"The officials must know about this."

"It's wonderful that the officials knew about it! The officials knew about it but they could only watch Han Jiang being attacked, but they couldn't reach out. Do you think it's wonderful or not?"

"Awesome, hahahaha!"

Some people are muttering, and when a piece of news comes, these mutterings turn into anxiety.

"Shen An went to the bank!"

The news was like a bolt of lightning piercing the night sky, illuminating countless people's faces.

Some are happy, some are frightened, some sneer with disdain...

Han Jiang was racking her brains in the check-in room to think of a way to reverse the situation. After hearing the news, she couldn't help but put her hands on her forehead and sighed: "He finally came out."

The person who came to report the news was a confidant, and he said: "Mr. sir, we can also think of a way."

"You don't understand." Han Jiang waved her hands and sat down, "The late emperor once said that if he were not young, Shen An could be a strategist. Do you know what this means? This means that in terms of financial management ability, Shen An An should be number one in the Song Dynasty!"

The atmosphere in the bank has been a little bad these days. Although the Third Division is only the nominal leader of the bank, both parties are Da Song's moneybags.

Now that the three companies have been hit, the bank is also deeply uneasy.

It was in this atmosphere that Shen An came to Da Song Bank.

"Brother, Shen An is here." Xia Qing put his hands in his sleeves and sniffed, looking like a little old man.

Xia Jin nodded, "Han Jiang was impeached. If Shen An doesn't come out, his reputation as the number one financial manager in the Song Dynasty may not be preserved."

The Xia brothers on the opposite side came out habitually to observe the situation.

Xia Qing hesitated for a moment, "Brother, someone found a certain person yesterday and asked us to start a run on the bank..."

"You agreed?" Xia Jin asked.

"No." Xia Qing said with some regret: "Shen An is full of tricks. If we take action and lose, we will not be able to stop his revenge afterwards."

"It's good that you know." Xia Jin felt relieved, "Let's just watch the excitement."

"Look, Tang Ren is out."

Tang Ren came out to greet Shen An, and complained as soon as they met, "Xiaguan was waiting for someone to take action at the bank, but this time it was strange. It turned out to be calm, and all of Xiaguan's preparations were in vain. It's hateful."

Shen An said as he went in, "I am very bored taking care of my children at home. It would be best if someone takes action."

The guys I met along the way were all very happy. The two female guys got together and said, "Why are you laughing?"

"Rumors are flying all over the Third Division. We are nominally members of the Third Division. I'm so panicked!

Shen Longtu has been staying at home, and I am not sure. Now that I see him coming, I feel relieved and feel that I am not afraid anymore. "

"Hey! Your face is flushed, are you having sex?" A female waiter said with a sneer, "It's just that Shen Longtu definitely doesn't like you."

"You're talking nonsense, don't run!"

A few female clerks joked around for a while, and the atmosphere in the bank became more lively.

Shen An arrived at the check-in room, sat down and asked: "There is some instability on the Third Division side. Someone is afraid that they will attack the bank, which will make the New Deal side anxious. I came here to see who dares."

Tang Ren couldn't help but marvel at this courage.

"When you come, those people will definitely cease their activities."

Tang Ren changed the topic, "I just heard that someone is seeking the position of Third Secretary. If they get the position of Third Secretary, they will be in big trouble in the future."

"The New Deal cannot be separated from money and food. Only by controlling money and food can we control the New Deal. This trick is interesting, but it is doomed to be in vain."

Shen An drank a cup of tea and said: "The officials haven't spoken out yet, so Han Jiang's guilt cannot be determined. If someone comes out at this moment, it can be regarded as taking the blame. However, if Han Jiang can accept the favor, there will be one more person in the academy in the future. Professor Zaifu, I feel so good just thinking about you!"

Shen An sat in the banker for half an hour, and then prepared to enter the palace.

"Then..." Tang Ren hesitated again and again and asked the question he was most concerned about, "Then what are you going to do?"

"A tool!" Shen An looked at him and said earnestly: "You should think carefully when you are in charge of the bank. The bank is directly under the government. What can you do if you are short of money? What can you do if you have too much money? These ...Don’t wait until this thing comes to an end and then think about it. It’s nice to mend the sheep’s fold, but why not repair it beforehand?”

Tang Ren tasted Shen An's words carefully and couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, "Is someone so useless?"

Shen An entered the palace all the way, but was dragged to the political hall by Han Qi.

"explain!"

The four prime ministers and assistants stared at him eagerly, with the intention of killing him immediately without saying anything.

"This matter is actually not difficult. The key is understanding."

Shen An looked around and said, "I'm a little thirsty."

Han Qi went to get the tea himself and gritted his teeth and said, "If you can't think of a way, what you will spit out after drinking the tea will be blood."

It seems that Old Han has been struggling with this matter a lot recently. Shen An smiled, took a sip of tea, and asked happily: "May I ask you gentlemen, are you sure to win the Northern Expedition?"

"Of course!" Han Qi said confidently: "In the past, I would have hesitated again and again, but now that we have artillery, it is easier to attack even if we encounter a fortified city. If the artillery cannot be fired, just put the gunpowder bag on. There is always a way. Break the Liao army's city.

If Emperor Taizong had such firearms back then, Youzhou would definitely not be able to defend it. "

Shen An smiled and said, "Since we must win, can we capture anything?"

"Youzhou is on the Nanjing Road, and it is the richest place for the Liao people. There should be a lot of money and food." Han Qi said with a smile: "Youzhou is close to the north of the Song Dynasty. Because of the business, there are many wealthy businessmen, and with the powerful people, After we defeat them, we will be filled with money!"

Shen An said with a smile: "Since the money and food belong to us, why not use it as collateral to borrow some money?"

In an instant, all the prime ministers and assistants were stunned.

"Loan?"

"Yes, loan."

Shen An smiled very reservedly.

"If the Northern Expedition is like a car, then many people are waiting for the opportunity to get on the car."
