So they came early in the morning to line up again to return the money.

Zhao Yuan saw these people queuing up to return their money.

A wicked thought suddenly came to mind.

It seems the introduction of paper money will be a little later.

Ren Jinnu was standing by the window looking at the backyard.

The person returning the money carried down bags of copper coins.

Have the people at the ticket office count them.

However, I lent out 100 strings of cash a few days ago.

What needs to be repaid now is 101 strings of cash.

The interest rate is a bit too low.

If it's a pawnshop lending money...

They should at least return 110 strings of cash.

Fortunately, a lot of money was lent out.

They returned 500,000 strings of cash yesterday.

The interest alone amounted to five thousand strings of cash.

Look at the line of horse-drawn carriages,

There should still be two million guan to be repaid.

These damn guys,

Even the king is not afraid of hardships.

Go to the front lines to fight against the Liao.

They were still thinking of escaping.

They're not even as good as the common people.

In order to support the king,

Everyone's rushing here to deposit money.

However, even tens of thousands of people only managed to save less than one million strings of cash.

Several large households still deposited money to show their support for the king.

Ordinary families only have a few strings of cash left.

These wealthy borrowers, however, would lend out tens or hundreds of thousands of strings of cash at a time.

It is unknown how many people's land and property they have seized.

Thinking about the announcement of the Western Xia's military expedition...

They would then scramble to borrow money.

Then, after the king defeats the Western Xia...

They will have to pay interest again.

Ren Jinnu then experienced a strange sense of pleasure.

……

After leaving the Royal Bank,

Zhao Yuan then headed towards the palace.

The palace guards saw the king enter the palace.

Each of them had a look of piety on their face.

It was as if the king had not come.

Rather, they are like immortals.

The reason is simple: the king only needed one day.

They then drove back the Liao soldiers.

The Liao Dynasty was established two hundred years ago.

It was as if a huge mountain was pressing down on the Central Plains.

They would come and plunder from time to time.

After Emperor Taizong of Song ascended the throne,

While the founding generals are still around...

Two campaigns against Liao,

They all suffered crushing defeats.

When it came to Emperor Zhenzong, son of Emperor Taizong of Song,

They then signed the Treaty of Chanyuan.

They paid tribute to the Liao Dynasty in exchange for refraining from large-scale invasions southward.

As for the lives of the people on the border,

For such a vast dynasty as the Song Dynasty,

It's really nothing to brag about.

In fact, the Battle of Chanyuan,

The Song Dynasty was the victor.

However, Emperor Zhenzong of Song disregarded the objections of the renowned statesman Kou Zhun.

The decision was made to "reward" the Liao Kingdom with annual tribute.

In exchange for peace between the two countries.

It's probably because Emperor Zhenzong of Song felt he was inferior to his father.

The military generals under his command were no match for the founding generals.

His father lost.

If he continues to fight,

I'm afraid the outcome will be even worse than his father's.

That's why they spend money to buy peace of mind.

After Emperor Zhenzong of Song,

The emperors of each generation became increasingly weak.

Although there was the Treaty of Chanyuan,

The two countries are generally at peace.

However, minor conflicts continued.

The Song army's battle results went through a series of phases: more wins than losses, half wins and half losses, and more losses than wins.

In the end, they were defeated without a fight.

This certainly includes a decline in the soldiers' combat effectiveness.

But more importantly, it was the weakness of the Song Dynasty emperors.

This time, when the king goes on expedition,

The whole world has witnessed the Great Liang's determination to resist foreign aggression.

However, most people were not very confident that the King would defeat the Liao Kingdom.

After all, the king only has 50,000 soldiers under his command.

Only the veterans of Liangshan believed that their king was a star descended from heaven.

Invincible.

The final result was exactly as the veteran of Liangshan had predicted.

This once again proves that the King is invincible.

This also earned them a lot of money.

Chapter 1806 Military Camp

The military camp in Tokyo was located in the western part of the city.

Because during the Song Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of imperial guards needed to be stationed there.

Therefore, the military camp was very large.

Although Gao Qiu later seized much of it,

But it's still very large.

Wu Song and Shi Bao's 20,000 troops were also stationed in the military camp.

They are usually trained by the instructors.

Therefore, the two were allowed to attend court.

Zhao Yuan found the two of them.

The three of them went to the military camp together.

Outside the military camp,

Wu Song presented the token of a commander of ten thousand men.

They then proceeded without hindrance.

Although it was already mealtime

However, there were still soldiers patrolling back and forth in the military camp.

Wu Song said, "Let's go to our camp headquarters."

"Still going to boot camp?"

Zhao Yuan said, "Let's go to the recruit camp."

"Go find Wang Jin first."

After Wang Jin became the chief instructor of the Liang army...

They treated the military camp as their home.

If Zhao Yuan hadn't personally found him a house later,

He was given some palace maids and eunuchs.

Let him get married.

He can stay in the camp without leaving the camp.

He spent every day with the soldiers.

Even after getting married,

Wang Jin must be in the military camp during the day as well.

The camp gates were not closed.

Wang Jin did not leave the camp.

For nothing else,

This is to repay the king's kindness in recognizing and recognizing his talent.

Behind the drill ground was a neat canteen.
