After arriving in Denlai, Li Wei seemed to be an official, visiting local powerful people and those famous people one after another, and even "promoting" many people to fill the shogunate.

To put it bluntly, it means treating local powerful factions as idle people, pulling people on horseback, and acting like bandits, and if you don’t go, you will confiscate your house.

As the highlight of buying a horse by a daughter, Zhang Qixian directly served as the position of Kongmu, the deployment office, that is, the secretary who handles copywriting. In other words, he became the leader of civil servants in the two states of Denglai in his twenties.

Soon, after some blockade and action, Denglai was instantly in control, Qing, Mi, Zibo and other prefectures, and the penetration was accelerated.

Poor, all the eyes of the Northern Song Dynasty were concentrated in the south, and I never thought that there would be enemy troops in Shandong.

Qingzhou is the military residence of the Pinglu Army. However, as the governor of the Pinglu Army was not appointed for a long time, his vassal states were also deposed, and the prefect was the highest magistrate.

With the court's measures to adjust grain, the entire Qingzhou suddenly became a mess.

The full name of the magistrate is "The Military of a State". As the name suggests, it means temporarily seconding people to a state to take charge of military and political affairs. To put it bluntly, it means allowing officials from Tokyo to serve as chief officials in the local area, thereby strengthening centralization.

Because the magistrate's personnel are in Tokyo, and the places to go to the place are just seconded and sent, which is of help, Tokyo has great initiative and can change officials at will.

This is what Zhao Kuangyin did to reduce the power of the local government, and what is the case? For example, after the death of the Pinglu Army Jiedu, the Jiedu no longer appointed him, so that he became a prefecture and county of the court.

From the prefect to the county magistrate, everyone knows that because of the second year of Qiande, the court clearly told them to leave enough local expenses? The rest of the money and grain will be transferred to Tokyo.

Now? The emperor has transferred food again, but in fact he is just collecting local expenses for the second half of the year. Anyway, the summer tax is coming soon, so there is definitely no shortage of local expenses.

But?      This little money and food is definitely not enough?                                                   �

In theory, Yichuang was to dispatch famines to the people, but the imperial court itself did not have enough food, so it could only be used for it.

But?                                                              �

Therefore, in order to have food, hundreds of officials from all over Qingzhou? Come and go? Constantly dispatch people from the villages to send extra money and food, the excuse was to deal with the invasion of the southern soldiers.

April is the time when the people are in trouble. They have to dig wild vegetables to survive, and some even borrow money. However, now that local funds are distributed, the entire Shandong interface is in chaos in an instant.

The clerks not only had to meet the requirements of Shangguan, but also satisfy their own private pockets. For a time, many people in the prefectures and counties had a lot of complaints.

In Laizhou, Li Wei could hear news that he was starving and fled with his family. There were countless bandits falling down the mountain. In addition, Zhao Kuangyin screened local elite troops into Tokyo two years ago, and there were not many decent troops in the Shandong area.

"Deploy, prepare food quickly."

Zhang Qixian hurried to the Qingzhou yamen in the past, and when he saw Li Wei, who was practicing martial arts, he couldn't help but say.

"Shi Liang, why is it so urgent?" Li Wei said slowly.

"Deployment, the entire Henan Road, especially the Qingxu area, has been in chaos, the people are resentful, bandits are rising, hundreds of thousands of people are running in chaos, our opportunity is here."

Zhang Qixian calmed down for a while, and then said: "The Song court dispatched local food, and the clerks were troubled. Before the summer harvest arrived, where did the people get the food, so there were many people leaving their homes and fleeing. In my opinion, within ten days, the Pinglu army will definitely be full of the sky. At that time, as long as we have the food in our hands, we will be able to capture it."

"Hahaha, your words make a lot of sense." Li Wei nodded with satisfaction and said, "However, there is no need to worry about food. I have sent someone to buy food from Jinshan Japan, and even Bohai and Goryeo, and try my best to buy one or two. In the past ten days, I have bought nearly 300,000 stones of grain, which is enough for the army to use for half a year."

"Where are the people?" Zhang Qixian said urgently: "There are millions of victims in Qingxu, and they need a lot of food."

Li Wei said calmly: "Has Shi Liang forgotten, how did I come to Denglai?"

Zhang Qixian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and smiled and said, "That's right, the south is rich, how can it be short of food?"

Thinking of this, he became more and more energetic. Since he got on the pirate ship, he could only move forward. If the dynasty is really changed, he will be considered a hero.

He looked at Li Wei and analyzed calmly: "Deployment, as long as there is enough food and supplies, then Qingxu can be easily taken down thousands of miles."

"We also have to thank the Zhao Guanjia, who divided Pinglu into three parts, Ziqing Jiedushi and Tianping Jiedushi, but only a few hundred miles away, Taining Jiedushi in Yanzhou existed."

"If I remember correctly, I would like to praise you if I can't remember correctly!" Li Wei recalled.

"That's right, it's this veteran." Zhang Qixian nodded and said, "He is already fifty-seven. Although he was a powerful general at the beginning, his merits were to govern the Yellow River. He was old and had few soldiers. I think he had no intention of fighting."

Bai Chongzan, who was the governor of the Yicheng Army at that time, personally led his men to block the Dacheng. The two dams of Liuhe were broken. By September, they successfully blocked the Yellow River and received a commendation from Guo Wei.

This powerful general is both literary and military.

Although they are from Shatu.

"The Zhao official family is very afraid of it. Over the past few years, they have moved the town twice, but they dare not move lightly."

Li Wei suddenly realized.

"When the Emperor Taizu of Zhou Guo Wei was wearing the yellow robe, he had the merit of supporting him, his character was stubborn, and his deployment could convince him."

Zhang Qixian said softly.

Li Wei nodded, and it was good that he had an insider, but he shook his head again and sighed: "There are so many powerful generals in the State of Song. A powerful general like Bai Chongzan is also idle and afraid. It's such a pity."

Li Wei was not afraid of being a Shatuo person at all. Instead, he was quite envious of his bravery and wished he could attract his name. However, he also knew that Zhao Kuangyin's foundation was also shallow.

The generals of the vassal states in the previous dynasty did not dare to easily snatch them, so they could only move the town and fear that if there was nothing wrong in the world, they could have been cut off one by one. However, now the war between the north and the south is still as good as a chance with him?

Those vassal states that had endured for many years suddenly had a second path. How could they not make a choice?
