Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"What do you think my beloved?"

"Find a way to help King Kang take charge of military affairs."

"Oh?"

"I've already thought about the person to recruit. This person loves money and wants to come to Tokyo, so I can use it."

"Who?"

"Zhang Jun."

In the early morning of the next day, while having breakfast, Zhao Ning was watching the latest personnel appointments reported by Zhao Ding.

Although Qin Hui was promoted to the ruling position, with the check and balance of the Prime Minister Zhao Ding, Zhao Ning was quite at ease about the appointment of personnel.

He just went through it briefly, didn't say much, and didn't interfere much with Zhao Ding's employment.

"Officials, King Kang is asking for an audience outside the palace."

"Xuan."

Zhao Gou came in and said, "I see Your Majesty, Sheng'an."

Zhao Ning hurried over, with an excited look on his face: "I miss Brother Nine so much!"

"The minister also misses the official family all the time."

"Come on, sit down and talk."

Zhao Gou sat down, but Song Shuyuan made tea for the two of them.

"Jiu Ge'er promotes agricultural policy in Jingdong. Officials from all over the country praise you for your virtue. I am very relieved."

"It's because the government's new policy has won the hearts of the people, and Shuyuan has been sending supervisors to various places, so the minister can go smoothly in Jingdong."

Seeing Zhao Gou again, Zhao Ning found that Zhao Gou's eyebrows had revealed a somewhat mature atmosphere, whether it was in his eyes or in his conversation.

Zhao Gou, who lived with Jingkang for two years, seems to have changed a lot.

"I have something to ask you."

"Please make it clear from the officials."

"Zhao Ding wants to implement a new policy of handing over banknotes to the countryside. You have served as an agricultural envoy on Jingdong Road. What do you think of this?"

Zhao Gou said: "Many farmers are indeed short of money. It is indeed a good way to borrow money from the people, but I worry that grassroots officials will use this to corrupt the law."

"This is a judicial matter, just the New Deal itself. What do you think?"

"I think it's feasible."

"I want you to lead the new policy first in Gyeonggi, how about it?"

"The minister has little talent and little learning..."

"You have carried out agricultural policy on Jingdong Road, you have experience in this, and you have a certain reputation in the court. I plan to let you be the governor of Kaifeng Mansion. You come to Kaifeng Mansion to try it out. This matter is related to the livelihood of the people in the north. I can only leave the important things to you!"

Zhao Gou was stunned for a moment, and quickly got up and said: "How can I be a minister?"

"Every time I hear about the sufferings of the people, I can't eat and can't sleep at night. Brother Jiu, you must help me!"

"I am willing to do my best for His Majesty!"

Zhao Gou was still shocked.

Governor of Kaifeng Prefecture?

The governor of Kaifeng was very special in the Song Dynasty, and was not often appointed, and was usually assigned to the crown prince.

Like Bao Zheng, he is called Quanzhi Kaifeng's prefect.

Some emperors in the Five Dynasties period served as governor of Kaifeng Prefecture before ascending to the throne. Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi and Song Zhenzong both held this position.

Right now, the crown prince has just been abolished, and Zhao Gou is appointed as the prefect of Kaifeng in a blink of an eye?

Zhao Gou didn't think much about it, and a few steps were not normal.

The edict of Zhao Gou's appointment was released on the same day, and it caused a great sensation for a while.

Is Zhao Guan's family planning to make King Kang the crown prince in the future?

Chapter 451 The Jin Kingdom's Weakness? (Second more)

On September [-], the results of Wang Shoude's trial were announced.

Dozens of members of the Wang family were pushed to the execution ground for execution.

Li Chunyou and his family were dispatched to the northwest border for defense.

Gu Changzhi, Liu Shi and others were all beaten into Wang Shoude's party and sentenced to ransack their homes and defend the border.

The list of officials in the Luoyang case has 230 people, from Jingji Road to Jingxibei Road, from the minister of the court to the principal, from the three provinces, six ministries and nine ministers to the local education department, the professor of Songyang Academy, and then to the Confucius family. .

All were sentenced to ransack their homes and guard the border.

In the end, more than 2 people were involved.

The power of the old party from Tokyo to Xijing was almost uprooted.

The newly appointed officials no longer dare to oppose the New Deal.

The implementation of the New Deal reached a consensus for the first time in the Great Song Dynasty in the fifth year of Jingkang.

This is also thanks to Jin Guo's help.

With the prince's exit, King Kang's return, and Qin Hui's entry into the political affairs hall, a new court situation in the Great Song Dynasty is gradually taking shape.

What is intriguing is that Cai Mao still sat firmly in the position of Shangshu Zuocheng.

Early in the morning on the third day of October, Zhao Ning had just arrived at the Wende Hall when he saw a person kneeling outside the Wende Hall.

Zhao Ning said lightly, "Go in and talk."

"Yes."

Li Zhuo got up, trembled and walked in.

He dared not stand, only dared to kneel.

Zhao Ning held Li Zhuo's interrogation letter, and said after a while: "There are so many people who want you to die, and you usually offend a lot of people?"

Li Zhuo said: "Your Majesty, forgive me. I have nothing to do with Wang Shoude. It is really unfair."

Zhao Guanjia suddenly changed the subject and said, "What do you think of Qin Hui?"

Li Zhuo knelt there, his mind was spinning, what does His Majesty mean by asking this question?

"Qin Xianggong is loyal to the monarch and the country, and he is actually a minister of the country."

"Ok?"

Li Zhuo trembled a bit, and said in his heart: Could it be that he said something wrong?

He tentatively said again: "It's just that Mr. Qin's murderous intent is quite serious."

"anything else?"

Seeing Zhao Guan's family continuing to ask, Li Wei tentatively whispered again: "I suspect that he is forming a party to exercise power."

"anything else?"

"Using power for personal gain."

"Go on."

"Selfishness is very serious." After Li Zhuo said this, Zhao Guanjia was silent for a moment.

Li Zhuo felt a huge pressure in his heart, as if he couldn't breathe.

"You say Qin Xianggong in this way, do you want to avenge your personal revenge?"

"No, I'm just telling the truth."

Only then did Zhao Ning pick up his interrogation paper and said, "I think you were wronged."

Li Zhuo was stunned for a moment, looked up at Zhao Guan's house, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and said quickly: "I am willing to break my body to pieces for Your Majesty."

"Get up, you should pay more attention in the remonstrance court in the future."

Jianyuan?

Li Yu was overjoyed, not only did the Zhao family not kill him, but they also wanted to restore him to his original post?

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

Qin Hui didn't know that after he came to power, Zhao Guan's family had already dug a hole for him, and even arranged for the people who stared at him every day.

In the twinkling of an eye, it was October [-]th, and the Zhengshitang promulgated the "Gyeonggi Road New Agricultural Loan Regulations", and began to try to implement agricultural loans in Gyeonggi Road.

Of course, the scope is limited to the average land lease, that is, the scope of the new agricultural policy. This is to control the risk of financial bad debts and make the situation controllable.

It was a daring attempt, and if successful, the patrol would push away in seven.

If it can be implemented smoothly on a large scale, it means that the recovery time of the people in the north can be greatly shortened.

This can play a key role in eliminating summer and fighting against gold.

Of course, at this time, Zhao Gou obviously became one of the hottest figures in the Song Dynasty.

On the contrary, our Taiwei Gao has been unknown and hard-working. He wakes up earlier than chickens and sleeps later than dogs.

For example, running around this month, copying this house today and copying that house tomorrow, the money will be soft.

At night, I have to go to the south of the city to comfort Widow Zhang, and sometimes I even have to work overtime to go to Widow Wang.

So much so that the Cuju career was a bit deserted.

On October [-]th, I went to the northwest and went to the east of the river again. Chen Gui came back.

Zong Ze also came back with Chen Gui.

There is also a private businessman named Wang Chuanmao.

A detailed enemy investigation report was placed on Zhao Ning's desk. After reading it carefully, he said, "Taiyuan is short of food?"

Zong Ze said: "I have sent people to investigate in many ways. In the past few months, businessmen in Taiyuan City have gone south to Jiaogu and Fenzhou to buy grain, and they are quite frequent."

Zhao Ning asked: "Could it be that the Jin army is hoarding food and preparing to launch a war?"

Zong Ze said: "At first, I thought so too. Wu Jie sent scouts to infiltrate the city to inquire, and later I also sent people to infiltrate to inquire. The price of grain in Taiyuan City has been as high as three pennies and one stone. Many people can't afford grain at all. The merchants had no choice but to head south to buy grain."

Zhao Ning immediately sent someone to summon Zhao Ding to come.

After Zhao Ding came, Zhao Ning showed him the report.

Zhao Ding raised doubts, "Why is there a sudden shortage of food in Taiyuan City?"

There is no shortage of food in the Kingdom of Jin, the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are in the hands of the Kingdom of Jin, and Taiyuan Prefecture also has arable land, so there should be no shortage of food.

Zong Ze said: "Your Majesty, I brought back a Fenzhou merchant named Wang Chuanmao. He once sold a lot of grain to Taiyuan. You can ask him."

"Hurry up!"

Not long after, Wang Chuanmao was taken to Wende Hall.

"Grassman Wang Chuanmao sees His Majesty, long live!"

Zhao Ding asked, "Are you from Fenzhou?"

"Grass people are."

"How much grain did you sell to Taiyuan?"

"From June this year, we will sell [-] shi every month."

"What about before?"

"It's never been sold before."

"Why?"

Wang Chuanmao said: "There is no shortage of food in Taiyuan. It was also in June this year that someone suddenly came to me and said that Taiyuan can do food business."

"Why is this? Why is Taiyuan suddenly short of food?"

Wang Chuanmao said cautiously: "According to the people who escaped from Taiyuan City, in May of this year, Jin Guo replaced the guard of Taiyuan. After the previous guard was replaced, the tax in Taiyuan tripled. Not only the city of Taiyuan is short of food, but the people in the prefectures and counties around Taiyuan have no food to eat."

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other.
