Take the system back to the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 209
Well, I have something to do today, just one update

~
Pei Yancheng thought too much, Zhao Cheng didn't run away.

In fact, she pretended to be sick and left the stage because Zhang Shangying couldn't be persuaded by staying, so she was upset.

In addition, to give Huang Wenbing a face, I hope that he, Lao Huang, can take some responsibility and deal with it well in the future.It's best not to offend a person with this kind of wasp's sting attribute, although he is better than Cai You as an official.

Subconsciously, Zhao Cheng knew that Zhang Shangying was approaching menacingly, and Cai You and Huang Wenbin couldn't handle him, so it was only a matter of time before the two Shangguans turned against each other.

It is possible to run, but it is even more unclear if you run, and it will implicate Pei Yancheng, Liu Qishan, Zhao Qingming and others.

And running away doesn't help, so I just keep it for now.

There is no need to make more arrangements. In fact, what is needed is to plan ahead, and Zhao Cheng has already arranged the arrangement in advance.This is one of the reasons why Zhao Cheng still didn't deploy Bi Shijing back to the city after regaining the command for the second time. At the same time, he also asked Bi Shijing to keep a low profile and try not to appear in Chizhou City again.

At that time, this deployment was not for the safety of Bai Chenxiang's team. In fact, at the earliest time, Bai Chenxiang had the idea of ​​"pulling the team to Jiuhua Mountain if things can't be done". Since then, Zhao Cheng, she and her team are safe. Zhao Cheng didn't need to worry about it, even Zhao Cheng couldn't do better than her.

All the deployments that Zhao Cheng made at that time were based on distrusting the actions of bureaucrats like Cai You and Huang Wenbin. They were guarding against the current political risks and trying to prevent Chizhou's only available military force from being concentrated and ruined by them.

If he, Zhang Shangying, really wants Zhao'an and can really promote Zhao'an, although Zhao Cheng is dissatisfied, there is nothing he can do.This can hardly be regarded as a little kindness to the people in this harsh winter.Even if it's a bit fake, even if they may not be right.

But subconsciously, Zhao Cheng knew that Zhao'an's matter was tricky, and there was a big risk of being tricked.

Assuming that Wang Xiu is sure to be the emperor, then why should he be a sesame official with no human rights in the government?
At the moment when there is no obvious defeat and the superior force is in control, the talented and bold Wang Xiu will not proceed immediately even if he really wants to Zhao'an.After getting more chips, the price will be raised. This is a business rule that children know.

But there are some people who they just don't know, just to be cowardly.

Zhao Cheng also understood that Zhang Shangying had a scholarly temperament and had seen too many storms. He did not want to lose.

If you don't want to lose, you won't win. This is a theorem.The essence is only whether the risk management can be carried out effectively.

Speaking of losing, everyone will lose. The only difference is how to adjust and deal with it without hurting the bones when losing. The other is information asymmetry.These points are actually the only difference between Buffett and the bankrupt stockholders.It's not that Buffett is really a god who can't buy the wrong stock.

Frankly speaking, if the Great Song Dynasty was thriving and flourishing, with a big family and a big business, then Zhao Cheng would not play games with Wang Xiu, who is not stupid, for the sake of profit and taking risks.

Because as any time traveler knows, it won’t take a few years for the Jurchen boar-skin cavalry to head south. If the internal problems have not been resolved by then, it will be useless for Zhang Ji’s father to be willing to be escorted by King Qin. He will be defeated after a bloody battle. , committed suicide when he was captured and went to the north, so as not to be humiliated by the Hu people.

At that time, Grandpa Zong Zezong, who is still a county magistrate in the southeast, would shout "Cross the river! Cross the river!" when he was dying, and he would not die with peace. Even if he cultivated Yue Fei, it would not affect the overall situation.His love will be killed in the storm pavilion for political incorrectness.

In fact, if the imperial court really doesn't want to fight, it can reluctantly accept Zhao'an if it really wants to.It's just that under the current situation, the terrible thing is that Wang Xiu obviously has someone in the government, obviously knows the inside story of the government, and knows that the government dare not fight.

Then, with a man like Wang Xiu who is decisive, talented and bold, it is impossible for him to "close his position" in a hurry under the obvious long-term trend.He will only increase the general trend and environment, and increase the net position of shorting the government through insider information (information asymmetry).

He just took advantage of Zhang Shangying's eagerness to seek counsel, and wanted to make another move, greatly raising Zhao'an's price.

To put it simply, if he lures more and slaughtered some of the government's military forces, his bargaining chip in Zhao'an will really be sufficient.

Whether this is true, Zhao Cheng is not a god, how can he know, but this is actually called risk management.This is the reason why Bi Shijing's troops cannot be commanded blindly, and this is why Zhao Cheng refused to send Bi Shijing's troops back to the city even after he got the command for the second time.

These are the outlines of the model about Chizhou affairs in Zhao Cheng's head.

Now Zhao Cheng also knew that most of them were under surveillance, so he didn't send someone to send a letter to Bi Shijing and Bai Chenxiang.No need, before that, Zhao Cheng had prepared them for a route without food and logistics, and had already threatened that he would not give advice to them easily and not listen to anyone's orders.

Now, sitting in the county government's "dormitory" and looking at the increasingly heavy falling snow outside, Zhao Cheng seemed very peaceful and did not feel that being an official was tiring. In fact, these were inevitable encounters.All the grandfathers who are more capable than Zhao Cheng have experienced similar periods without exception, and they are more serious.It’s not necessarily that they would be tempted to run away and leave the pick when they are ignored and left out.

Because of the cold weather and her hands were stiff, Chen Meiniang couldn't do embroidery right now, so she simply put it down. Indeed, Su Ganniang from the embroidery village greeted her with a smile all day long, and she no longer urged Meiniang to make progress.And now there is very little pressure on food and housing in the county government.

The biggest advantage is: it doesn’t cost money to live and eat in the county government, and there is plenty of charcoal for heating. What’s more, Zhao Cheng’s heating subsidy is still issued without deducting the charcoal money used for heating at home. I heard that this is what Pei Instructions from the county magistrate.

"Well, it's great to be an official... Life is much better now, my husband has to work hard."

Chen Meiniang, who doesn't know the truth, is feeling emotional, she is always easy to satisfy.Zhao Cheng didn't tell her about the current situation, because she was always easily messed up.

"Actually... just to ask for this kind of life, I can write Xiaobaiwen, and the money is enough."

Zhao Cheng tried with a strange expression.

"Sister-in-law is not allowed to talk nonsense, that's different."

On this issue, Chen Meiniang has the same thinking as ordinary people, but what she said is also true.

"Meiniang is a sensible person. Xiao Zhao, you have already been suspended for pending action, but it is impossible to mess up easily. You must be able to endure the special period."

At this time, Pei Zhixian's voice suddenly sounded outside the window.

After Chen Meiniang got up and faced Old Pei Yifu outside the window, she avoided suspicion and entered the inner hall, and Old Pei just walked in.

When Zhao Cheng was about to say something, Lao Pei raised his hand to stop, "Don't say it, I don't want to hear it, and I can't solve it if I hear it. I'm just a magistrate, not a prime minister. I'm just here to see if you ran away or are you still there? Then things will turn around.”

After a pause, he continued, "If you live, you can continue to live. You are still an official. Fortunately, you have not lost the chain before. Because of Zhang Ji's recommendation, you have already entered Shu Yegong's eyes. Even if the Cai family really abandons you, Zhang Shangying will really die You, they will not succeed either. After the spring, you can have two choices, one is to take the county examination, the other is to let Zhang Jibao send you to Taixue, and Shu Ye will support you after entering Beijing."

Zhao Cheng nodded, as if he had taken a reassuring pill.

Lao Pei sighed and planned to leave, "By the way, prepare to accept the fact of Zhao'an. In fact, if you figure it out, it's not a big bad thing. Although Zhang Shangying has mixed personal emotions in this matter, who can not have personal emotions?" ? For example, me, and you, Zhao Cheng, too. But generally speaking, Lao Zhang has Lao Zhang’s considerations, and he has reasons to be worried.”

Zhao Cheng wanted to say something again, and Lao Pei raised his hand again to stop his wry smile and said, "Don't say it, it's useless to say it. Now these are really none of my business. These are all major military and political issues at the state government level. They arrested them personally. I really came here just to see if you were there. The second one is to tell you that under Zhang Shangying's strong pressure, Cai You compromised the Manichaean monk, so now Wang Fukou has taken over. That’s it, you know all this.”

After speaking, Lao Pei left.

Zhao Cheng couldn't help frowning. It's probably not a good thing for Deng Yuanjue's bald donkey to be held by Wang Fu. Maybe the Manichaeism issue will really be kept quiet by them...
