Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

For example, the Cai family.

The news reached Cai Mao who had just returned home urgently.

"What! Lady Qian was welcomed into the palace and made a concubine!" Cai Mao was taken aback.

"That's right, Patriarch, when grandson went to Qian's house in the afternoon, Qian Yuqing said that Mrs. Qian had entered the palace, and all the imperial decrees in the palace had come down." Cai Heng said with a bitter face.

"Why did the government suddenly confer Mrs. Qian?" Cai Mao took off his official robe, and the servant served a cup of tea, which he drank thoughtfully.

"Zu Weng, what should we do now?"

"What should I do? What else can I do!"

"But Grandfather, grandson really likes Mrs. Qian, she is a very talented person, grandson..."

"What? You want to rob women from the officials?"

"I..." Cai Heng said angrily, "It must have been forced by the officials to bring him into the palace. My grandson refuses to accept it. I'm the one Mrs. Qian likes!"

"Then what do you want?"

"I'm going to the palace to rob people!"

It is not unheard of in the history of the Song Dynasty that the officials rob privately of women.

During the reign of Renzong, a commoner filed a complaint in Kaifeng Mansion, saying that his newlywed wife had been robbed.

Later, the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture investigated secretly, and he was snatched away by the palace.

So the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture went to the palace to have an interview with Renzong. Renzong, who was exposed, couldn't face it, and said that the people in the palace decided it privately, and he didn't know it.

Later he returned the person.

It can also be seen from this that the original judicial system in the Song Dynasty was very sound.

With such a precedent, Cai Heng naturally has confidence.

"Confused! Now everyone is a concubine, and soon the whole city will know, do you want to let the officials lose face!"

"But……"

"Stop it, look at how promising you are! You talk about the future hope of our Cai family! You are dejected because of a woman! Go face the wall and think about it!"

"Grandfather!"

"go with!"

"Grandson retire."

Cai Mao thought deeply, why did the government suddenly accept an unrelated folk woman as a concubine?

It must be Wang Zonglin who made a hindrance!

What role did Wang Zonglin play in this?

What does Wang Zonglin want to do?

The struggle within the Eastern Mansion is now intense.

Xu Han is very old, and it has been two years since he stepped down from office. Wang Zonglin took advantage of the Bureau of Commerce and Society and the bank to pay money to implement it, and it is gaining momentum in Dongfu.

Is he now going to recommend a woman to the official?

How shameless!

Shameless!

Xu Han is a neutral faction, and Wang Zonglin is a New Deal faction through and through.

If he was allowed to enter the political affairs hall, wouldn't the New Deal faction have one more person?

The more Cai Mao thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was extremely serious.

He immediately asked Li Chunyou to be found and expressed his concerns.

Li Chunyou said: "Cai Xianggong, there are three points to solve this situation."

"What do you think."

"The group of Luoyang officials that Qin Hui tried has already aroused public anger in Luoyang. We can take this opportunity to win Luoyang officials. Luoyang is a place where famous families gather. If we win Luoyang, all the famous people in the north will be in the hands of Cai Xianggong."

"What about the two?"

"Secondly, the new policies are mostly concentrated in the north, and there are no new policies in the south, but the people in the south have already heard that they oppose the new policies."

"How do you say this? The New Deal is only in the North. Why is the South against the New Deal?"

"The south is now opposing the New Deal, naturally because the imperial court has implemented the New Deal in Gyeonggi and Huaixi, and it is rumored that the New Deal will be fully implemented in Hebei, Hedong, and Jingdong this year. The court's actions are becoming more and more obvious, and southern officials and gentry are naturally aware of the crisis. "

"Then what do you mean?"

"The meaning of the lower officials is that Mr. Cai can introduce more officials from the south to Beijing, especially in the Jiangnan and Zhejiang provinces."

"What about three?"

"The third is of course the prince."

Chapter 415 Wayward Sister Li (Second Update)

During the discussion, the servants outside suddenly said: "Master, Wang Taiwei is here."

The two looked at each other, and Cai Mao said, "Wang Zonglian never comes to my place, why did he suddenly visit me today?"

"It must be nothing good."

"You avoid it first."

Li Chunyou nodded and avoided first.

Cai Mao went out, and when he saw Wang Zonglin, a kind smile appeared on his face: "Wang Taiwei is here, I am sorry to welcome you at a distance, forgive me, forgive me."

"Cai Xianggong won't mind if you come uninvited?"

"Where is there, Wang Taiwei is here, and the humble house is full of brilliance, please."

Wang Zonglin knew that Cai Mao hated him, but he had a thick skin enough to walk in without hesitation.

Cai Mao made tea again, and ordered people to prepare pastries.

"I don't know what is the purpose of Wang Taiwei's visit to the humble house?"

"It's nothing else. I heard that Cai Xianggong's mansion went to the Qian family to propose marriage?"

"That's true."

"The thing is like this, this official family has already made a love affair with Mrs. Qian, and today the news of Concubine Shu's canonization has also spread." Wang Zonglian said unhurriedly, "He is already in the palace, the official family is worried If you have any misunderstandings, let me explain."

"What's the matter, last time we went to propose marriage, the Qian family also temporarily agreed. Since they didn't agree, it's the Qian family's business who Mrs. Qian will marry."

Cai Mao replied with reason and evidence, but he didn't think so in his heart.

He originally thought that Wang Zonglian was the instigator of this incident. What kind of bullshit has the relationship been established for a long time? What is the identity of Mrs. Qian?What is the identity of the official?Can they make love?

If it wasn't for your Wang Zonglian's tricks, my surname would not be Cai today!

It was fine if Wang Zonglian didn't visit, but Cai Mao thought he was showing off on purpose, and he was more certain that Wang Zonglian was acting like a monster.

This makes it even more certain that Wang Zonglian is flattering him and is suspected of competing for power.

"That's good." Wang Zongyi didn't expect Cai Mao to be so talkative. Now that everything made sense, he didn't want to sit any longer, so he got up and said, "If that's the case, then I won't bother Mr. Cai."

When sending Wang Zonglin out, Cai Mao suddenly said: "Wang Taiwei, there has never been a precedent for a foreign relative to be in charge of the political affairs hall in this dynasty."

"Ok?"

"It's nothing, I just remind you."

Wang Zonglin left in a daze, and only on the way did he realize what Cai Mao meant.

Hehe, Cai Mao, you think highly of me, if it weren't for the dog... If it weren't for the officials always threatening me with Gao Qi's dog days, I just want to be a salted fish waiting to die!

After sending Wang Zonglin away, Cai Mao went back to the house.

Li Chunyou came out and said: "Cai Xianggong, this Wang Zongyi relies on the officials to support him, and he is getting more and more presumptuous. He doesn't even pay attention to you, the ruler."

"You keep talking."

"His Royal Highness is also 14 years old this year. He is quite filial, especially to saints and empresses."

"so what?"

"A 14-year-old boy already has his own ideas. The officials inquired about it last time. The prince is honest, kind, and loves holy learning."

"Ok?"

"If the prince is willing, he will definitely win the support of many people."

Cai Mao's face darkened: "What do you want?"

"Don't get me wrong, my lord. I'm saying that if His Royal Highness is willing to participate in government affairs, he will definitely win the praise of many people."

"Participate in government affairs at the age of 14?"

"At the age of 14, you should start learning to participate in government affairs, after all, you are the prince."

"The prince's participation in government affairs is a very sensitive matter, so we can't talk nonsense," Cai Mao said.

"Wang Shoude, the magistrate of Henan Province, has always wanted to return to Tokyo from Luojing. Let him raise the matter. After it is done, we will find a way to bring him to Tokyo and recommend him to the Ministry of Officials."

"He will?"

"Yes!" Li Chunyou continued, "and through him, many celebrities in Luoyang can be heard. We broadcast the prince's reputation of benevolence, virtue, and kindness, which will definitely arouse the praise of people all over the world. Since the prince is benevolent, virtuous, and kind, then I definitely don't approve of the current random killings by the officials."

"The officials are willing to let the prince participate in government affairs?"

"His Royal Highness is the crown prince. How can there be no reason not to cultivate a crown prince? This is the foundation of the country, and there is no reason for the officials to refuse."

Only then did Cai Mao come to his senses, and after a long time, he nodded.

Now that the New Deal faction is getting stronger and stronger, if Wang Zongbing enters the Political Affairs Hall, the space of the conservative faction will be quickly eroded.

If not, he, Cai Mao, may be demoted from the capital at that time.

New internal conflicts are undercurrent, but Zhao Ning is busy with his new strategy deployment.

The adjustment of the new strategic direction is not insignificant.

In the past, the economic center of the Great Song Dynasty was centered on Gyeonggi Road and radiated to all directions.

Tokyo City is the number one city in the world. It is not even an exaggeration to say that Tokyo City was the number one city in the world in the 12th century.

The prosperity of its civilization, the development of science and technology, and the magnificence of literature and art make Constantinople, the most prosperous city in Europe, eclipsed.

The development of water canals in the Song Dynasty for a hundred years also further promoted the economic prosperity.

Until the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, in this era, the dense river network extended to the southeast, and another economic center was born in the southeast. This economic center is the Taihu Lake economic center with the Taihu Lake circle as the core, including Suzhou, Yangzhou, Jiangning and other places.

It also gradually extended to Hangzhou.

In the first step of the first ten-year plan, Zhao Ning introduced the new agricultural policy internally.

The second step is to create a new business structure.

Its main core is to develop good fields in Jinghu Lake, supplement grain, develop Jianghan large granary, and then rectify the economic structure of Jiangnan, vigorously plant cash crops in Jiangnan, and provide sufficient raw materials for commerce both externally and internally.

Externally, it is the sea of ​​stars, and internally, it is to expand production capacity to fill the internal commodity demand of Song Dynasty.

There is only one purpose in doing this: to enrich the country and strengthen the army.

Of course, the readjustment of the business structure does not mean the end of the new agricultural policy, on the contrary, the new agricultural policy is the foundation of everything.

It determines land distribution and is the basis of everything.

In order to readjust the business structure in Jiangnan, Zhao Ning turned around and married Qian Jinshu.

Marrying her is not just about letting her advise, Zhao Ning pays more attention to their business foundation rooted in Hangzhou Mansion.

Zhao Ning's new policy is a race against time, and the Qian family's entry into the center of this game will undoubtedly help him speed up.

In the evening, Zhao Ning returned to Funing Palace just after dinner, and he asked someone to announce Qian Jinshu.

Zhao Ning took a look and saw that Li Qingzhao had already left.

In fact, Li Qingzhao didn't wake up until noon.

After waking up, she was surprised to find that she was in the palace, but she was very free and easy, got dressed, and led the way out of the palace under the guidance of the maid.

Zhao Ning asked the maid on one side: "Have Lay Yi An left?"
