Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

They hired a bunch of literati who could write and improved the status of literati. Those literati wearing silk kept telling the common people how noble they were, they should enjoy it, and everything they did was reasonable.

The common people acquiesced that after a year of hard work, they could only get a very small part of the land they planted to ensure that they would not starve to death, and the rest seemed to be handed over to them.

What is this called?

This is called exploitation.

Exploitation has never been based on brute force, but on the inertia embedded in the mind. Once this inertia of thinking is formed among the general public, it will evolve into order.

Let's say that the siege of the Department of Agriculture and Yang Bing's mobilization of dozens of officials took place on the second day after the promulgation of the "Gyeonggi-ro New Agricultural Regulations".

In just one day, dozens of officials dared to take certain risks to besiege the new government office of the imperial court.

What is the root cause behind this?

It is the promulgation of the "Gyeonggi Road New Agricultural Policy Regulations", which has a strong impact on the original order.

Its appearance, like a sharp knife, directly stabs at the vested interest groups, causing strong resistance behaviors within the vested interest groups.

In this incident, Zhao Ning was keenly aware of a very important point: the officials agreed in a short period of time.

This behavior is a microcosm.

Coincidentally, these four words are extraordinary, and can help the author to reconcile... Oh no, it indicates that vested interest groups may quickly come to the same front.

The siege of the Yamen of the Agricultural Administration was only the beginning of this resistance.

Just as the killings in Tokyo City were overwhelming, Sifu newspapers quickly published them one after another.

For a time, the voice of the Jin people plotting to sabotage the new government policy spread widely among the people, and even became more and more evil.

On June [-]th, Fan Lou was full of guests as usual.

At this time, the Fanlou became more and more lively. After the storyteller finished speaking, there was thunderous applause.

Just because the storyteller is talking about the new agricultural policy that has been widely discussed in Tokyo recently.

After the storyteller finished, we entered the next session, where some people began to debate and analyze the benefits of the "Gyeonggi Road New Agricultural Policy Regulations".

A man stood up and said: "I am Liu Chang, throwing bricks to attract jade. The benefit of this new agricultural policy is to increase taxes for the rich. The rich and the rich pay more taxes, the treasury is more filled, and the military rations and salaries for the frontline are naturally guaranteed. On the surface, it is related to agriculture, but in fact it is a strategy against gold!"

As soon as he said this, the people around shouted out, which shows that the current public opinion in Tokyo City supports the new agricultural policy.

There is one more point of proof.

In the past few days, the number of people who went to the Department of Agricultural Affairs to collect rented land has increased sharply, and the number of officials in the Yamen of the Department of Agriculture has increased by 100 directly to deal with these people.

Zhao Ning was dressed in casual clothes and looked ordinary. He was hiding in the crowd and was drinking tea.

If you don't come out to see it yourself, you really don't know how strong the public opinion effect caused by the reversal of this matter is.

It seems that people in Tokyo support the new agricultural policy has become the mainstream.

But this does not mean that the "Gyeonggi Road New Agricultural Policy" has been successful.

There are sixteen counties in Kaifeng Prefecture alone, and the new policy has been announced. It is also June, and it is time to collect the summer tax. I don't know what the situation there is.

At this time, another person stood up and said, "The "Gyeonggi Road New Agricultural Policy Regulations" is probably not as simple as raising taxes and fighting wars."

Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted.

But it was a woman, dressed in red, with a beautiful appearance and an indescribable heroism.

"Oh, what's the girl's opinion?"

"The New Deal lies in the equalization of land, the equalization of land lies in the price of grain, and the price of grain is related to people's livelihood. This is the real benefit of the New Deal."

As soon as she said this, everyone around her became suspicious.

Liu Chang asked, "How does it relate to food prices?"

The woman said: "Have you ever forgotten that last year someone maliciously hoarded food in Tokyo City, which caused the price of food in the city to rise, so that the people were destitute?"

Everyone was shocked.

"How does that relate to the New Agricultural Policy?"

"Those who maliciously hoard grain are all those who produce a lot of land. With the land in their hands, they can naturally increase the price of grain. Equalizing the land is the key to the people's livelihood. It must be noticed. Today's officials are deeply aware of the hardship of the people's livelihood, so you have seen it." The new agricultural policy arrived."

Liu Chang pondered for a moment, bowed his head and said, "I have been taught!"

The woman's remarks immediately caught Zhao Ning's attention.

He didn't expect that a woman would have insight into the real meaning behind the New Deal.

This is the struggle for food bargaining power.

Who is this woman?

Chapter 205 Layout Southeast? (Second more)

Liu Chang said again: "I heard that the University of Tokyo has announced the enrollment, and I am going to sign up."

The woman sat down and stopped answering, obviously not interested in what he said about Tokyo University.

But then, many young people went over and wanted to talk to the woman, but they were politely refused.

Not long after, Zhao Ning put down his teacup, walked over, and sat down.

But the woman got up and was about to leave.

"Can you get back the bargaining power just by reorganizing the agricultural administration of Gyeonggi Road?"

As soon as Zhao Ning said this, the woman stood there, she looked back at Zhao Ning, and couldn't help saying: "No."

"Why?"

"It's a mere Gyeonggi Road, which can guarantee the people's livelihood in Gyeonggi. It's an exaggeration to get back the bargaining power." The woman said calmly, looking at Zhao Ning, "Besides, how easy is it to reform since ancient times?"

"You mean, this restructuring will fail?"

"That depends on whether Zhao Guan's family is really a holy master today."

Zhao Ning asked curiously: "Who do you think Zhao Guan's family is today?"

"I have heard a little bit that the Jin army besieged the city, united with the enemy, and united as one. In the battle of Shangdang, the enemy fled thousands of miles away. From this point of view, Zhao Guanjia is a wise king who is determined to fight against the Jin."

Zhao Ning said very shamelessly: "Since you are a wise king, then the reform will definitely be successful!"

"Mingjun is not necessarily a holy master. The holy master has insight into the millennium, such as the birth of the Qin emperor and the establishment of the Han Dynasty."

Zhao Ning was very surprised, Qin Shihuang and Han Wudi did not have a good reputation in the Song Dynasty.

The main reason is that Sima Guang thinks that these two are basically tyrants, especially Liu Che, who are aggressive, selling officials and nobles, and making the people of the Han Dynasty miserable.

Sima Guang used Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty as a negative teaching material many times, admonishing Zhao officials, telling Zhao officials not to think about fighting, but to cultivate and live with the people, and to save national power.

But this woman's evaluation is completely different.

She said that Qin Shihuang ushered in a new era, and Han Wudi consolidated Qin Shihuang's achievements.

Judging from her thoughts, it actually reflects the reflection of some people in the Song Dynasty today.

Reflecting on the weakness of the Song Dynasty's military force, it was only half of the country that was beaten by the Jin people.

The major events of the times always have a huge impact on the ideology of the people.

Perhaps people began to miss the Qin, Han and Tang Dynasties, and wanted to find evidence from them.

"Then how do you become a holy master?"

"The little girl is just a grassroots person, how can she know how to become a holy master?" The girl couldn't help laughing, "The official asked the wrong person."

"From your accent, you're not from Kaifeng Prefecture?"

"Little girl from Hangzhou."

Zhao Ning said, "Come to Tokyo for business?"

"How do the officials know?"

"My guess."

This woman's dress is gorgeous, her conversation is good, she cares about current affairs, and she is from the southeast area.

There are two economic centers in the Song Dynasty, one is the capital, and the other is the Taihu Lake economic circle in the southeast.

The main water transportation network of the Song Dynasty was distributed between these two economic centers.

The tax and cash income in the southeast are the most.

I came to Tokyo from the southeast, not for business, but for what?

Of course, it may also be to find Mr. Ruyi.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the status of women was very high, and there was no such thing as not being allowed to go out, or to wear a veil when going out.

For example, Li Qingzhao, the first sister in the Northern Song Dynasty, not only surprised Bianliang with her talent, she was even more invincible with her mahjong skills, and she also loved to hate people.

"The officials laughed." After the woman finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave.

Zhao Ning asked, "I don't know what kind of business the little lady is doing?"

The title "little lady" was a daily title for women in the Song Dynasty, whether they were acquaintances or strangers.

Acquaintances add surnames.

For example, Zhao Ning called Zhu Lian Miss Zhu.

"Make some silk and ship some grain."

Zhao Ning was a bit interested. The merchants in Hangzhou brought the grain business to Tokyo?

He got up and walked over, and continued to ask, "Hangzhou is far from Tokyo."

"The price of food in Gyeonggi is still high now, so if we can sell the food, we will naturally make money."

"But as far as I know, the imperial court has designated grain merchants. In addition, the grain roads are also monopolized by some people. It doesn't matter. It is still difficult to do business in Gyeonggi."

The woman was a little surprised: "The officials know a lot."

"I know more, which you have never heard of."

The woman finally stopped and became interested, she said: "Why did the official follow the little girl?"

"I'm just curious. Most of the people transporting grain to Beijing are Lianghuai grain merchants. Hangzhou grain merchants have never seen it before."

The woman suddenly became curious about Zhao Ning's identity, and said that the news that the grain merchants in the two Huaihe Rivers are now transporting grain to Beijing is not known to ordinary people.

Just like people in the 21st century, they don't know who is driving these industrial chains behind the daily necessities they usually buy.

Ordinary people don't care about these, they only care about the life in front of them, how many acres of land they can keep, and how much food they can eat.

"I don't know the name of the official?"

"I'm Zhao Ning."

"Little girl Qian Jinshu."

Zhao Ning thought about it, and he was indeed a businessman. He stopped when he heard the information that was beneficial to him.

In the Song Dynasty, the surname Zhao was very special, it was a royal surname, but there were also people with the surname Zhao, such as Zhao Pu, the Prime Minister of the early Song Dynasty.

Another example is Zhao Ding, the current prime minister.

The hundred surnames were born in the Song Dynasty, and Zhao ranked first.

In second place is the surname Qian.

Qian Jinshu wondered, as if she had never heard of a young talent named Zhao Ning in Tokyo.

"Is Officer Zhao's family also in business?"

"Coincidentally, I did make some deals."

"Oh, what kind of business does Officer Zhao do?"

"Do it in every way."

"That's even more coincidental. There is plenty of food in Hangzhou. There is a lot of food here, my little girl, that can be transported to Tokyo in case it is sufficient. I wonder if Officer Zhao is interested?"

"Take a step to speak."

"Officials please."

When they came to the elegant room, Zhao Ning said, "How much food does the young lady have in Hangzhou?"

"It can supply ten thousand stones every month."
