Chapter 35: Today's Song Dynasty Jokes



But now Zhao Zhen no longer needs it. After getting the Jiaozi method from Zhao Jun, he naturally decided not to adopt iron money. Instead, he ordered Sheng Du, the assistant minister of state who had been involved in the salt and iron economy, to set up a "Jiaozi Office" and pilot it in Bianliang as soon as possible, and merge it with the "Jiaozi Office" in Chengdu to form a bank connection between Bianliang and Chengdu.

The matter of "Jiaozi Affairs" did not need to be discussed by the court. Zhao Zhen directly issued an imperial edict and passed it through the Secretariat and the Ministry of Personnel. Even though the three ministers and three councilors who controlled the Secretariat and the Ministry of Personnel had different political views, they had already unified the matter of "Jiaozi Affairs", so it was passed quickly.

So without the knowledge of the officials, Shengdu had already officially started the process of establishing a bank.

Soon, the bustling court meeting ended.

It was already noon at this time. Zhao Zhen used the excuse of keeping the three ministers and three councilors to discuss state affairs to ask them to stay in the palace. Then everyone had lunch together and headed towards the back garden.

In order to bluff Emperor Jingzong of Liao, the Song envoys told him that the Song had developed a new drug that would allow a man to run around Bianliang in a quarter of an hour. So, in order to see the power of the drug, Emperor Jingzong decided to send an envoy to investigate. When Zhao Guangyi learned of this, he was in a panic and asked the court officials what to do. Then he heard a palace maid in the corner say quietly, "Your Majesty, the Liao army has reached the city." After hearing this, Zhao Guangyi got on his donkey cart and rushed to Fujian in the blink of an eye."

Zhao Zhen's face darkened instantly.

Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng and others covered their mouths, shrugged their shoulders, and forced themselves to hold back their anger.
