Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Even if you turn it over and look it up, you can find Qin Hui?

If you can't kill Qin Hui and offend the deputy prime minister, what are the consequences?

Which official would dare to confront the deputy prime minister head-on?

Zhang Yang said: "Qin Hui is in trouble this time. He is so smart, but he makes mistakes in such trivial things."

"No, this matter has nothing to do with Qin Hui." Li Guang said.

"Didn't Qin Hui order them to do it?"

"Qin Hui was in power on the spot, and came here to change rice into mulberry under the order of His Majesty the Emperor. How could he use such a petty profit to shoot himself in the foot?"

"Then, could it be that Wang He made his own claim on this matter?"

Li Guang said: "At least it was an order issued by an official of Wang He's level, otherwise the magistrate of Gourong County would not have the guts."

"Are they really not afraid of being investigated by the court?" Zhang Yang took a deep breath, "The Zhao family has killed so many people."

"You didn't hear what Wang He said, why don't you go back some of them?" Li Guang said.

Zhang Yang took a deep breath: "If part of it goes back, the people will naturally stop making trouble, and the other part will be divided up by those people. How will Qin Xianggong handle this kind of thing?"

Li Guang said: "Based on what I know about Qin Hui, he will turn a blind eye and close one eye, so that the people below will get the fertilizer and water, and the people will not make trouble anymore. Some people will probably find a way to sell their fields next year." .”

"I understand. They did this not to change rice into mulberry, but to force people to sell their fields. Someone will naturally take over. After taking over, they will receive subsidies from the imperial court. This is defrauding the imperial court of money!"

"At that time, Qin Hui's task will be completed, and the local officials will get what they want. Those rich people will also get subsidies from the court by buying fields. As for how the mulberry seedlings are planted in the end, no one cares. It will happen after two years." Li Guang said, "After a few years, Qin Hui is no longer in Jiangdong, and he is in Jiangdong to clean up the mess, but who can be sure that it was Qin Hui who caused the situation, can you verify it?"

Zhang Yang said: "Since this is the case, why did the Zhao official family send Qin Hui here? Don't the official family know that Qin Hui is selfish?"

Li Guang asked back: "Then who do you think you can send to stop this situation?"

Zhang Yang had nothing to say for a while, he thought carefully, since this matter was not instigated by Qin Hui, it would have happened to anyone who sent it.

Because the policy of the imperial court is to give subsidies, and this subsidy is issued by officials.

When the mutton is passed by hand, a layer of oil will be left behind.

Even if Zhao Ding came in person, the people below would think of a way when they saw the huge temptation of interests.

"Li Buzheng, what do you mean, this is a dead end?"

Li Guang said with a smile: "In your opinion, it is a dead end, but in the eyes of the officials, as long as Jiangdong can complete the transformation of rice into mulberry, it is not a dead end. Don't just focus on this matter. If they can Successfully let the people accept changing rice into mulberry. His Majesty the Emperor will not deliberately pursue the money, as long as it is not found out, but now..."

"Is Li Buzheng going to overthrow Qin?"

"I only gave a secret report to the official family, and I only replied a decent letter to Mei Shangshu. The matter of Qin Hui is not something that I can make a big deal now and bring him down. That will only harm me, not benefit me. The situation doesn’t work either.”

"Will the officials touch Qin Hui?"

Li Guang suddenly realized something, and he laughed: "If Qin Hui is the only one who promotes the transformation of rice into mulberry in Jiangdong, maybe the officials really can't move him, because no one can say for sure what the new policy will do, and Qin Hui will There are a hundred ways to prevaricate, but now Qin Hui is not the only one who is changing rice into mulberry."

Wang He ran to Qin Hui and said what Li Guang said just now.

Qin Hui said: "You can deal with this matter yourself, don't make it a big deal, I just want the New Deal to fall, if anyone dares to make a big deal and go to the capital to make me unhappy, I will make it disappear, understand ?"

Wang He was so frightened that his whole body broke out in cold sweat: "Yes! Don't worry, Mr. Qin, this matter will be handled by the lower officials."

Li Guang's letter was rushed to the capital.

Chapter 829 Arguing Constantly (Part [-])

At this time in Tokyo City, it can be said that thousands of threads are mixed together.

The common people live a peaceful life, talk about their parents, eat whole grains, or go out for autumn outings, or go boating on the lake.

But in the depths of those pavilions, the important place of the capital of the Song Dynasty, the senior officials of each core yamen are arguing every day.

The root cause of most fights in the world is because of money.

Money can solve 90.00% of nine problems, and the remaining problems need more money.

However, the two parties in the quarrel always like to say the phrase "it's not about money", carry the bench, hold the teacup, and look for the surrounding ceramics by the way.

Roll up your sleeves, as if I am here to reason with you today.

Convince people with reason!

But they quarreled and quarreled, and at the end of the quarrel, both sides returned to the question of how to divide the money with ugly faces.

There is only so much money in the treasury, and the current speed of spending money is much faster than the speed of making money.

The main places to spend money:

[-]. Various border towns in the north.

[-]. Southwest Campaign.

[-]. Changing rice into mulberry.

[-]. Salaries of officials.

[-]. Other administrative expenses.

As for Zhang Jiuzheng's construction of official roads in Hedong, all of them were loans from banks to private commercial companies, and he took the way of printing money by banks, which had nothing to do with the treasury.

The salaries of officials here must not be reduced at will.

In the border towns in the north, Yue Fei took over the military administration of Hebei Lianglu, and is currently rebuilding Zhending Mansion, Zhongshan Mansion and Hejian Mansion.

The Military and Political Council filled the military expenditures of the Northwest, Hedong, Hebei, and Liaodong to such an extent that they wished they had to pay the officials salaries, which made some people in the East Mansion jump out of their chairs.

Especially the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households.

Some officials simply ran to the gate of Zhang Shuye's mansion to surround Zhang Shuye.

Later, Zhang Shuye simply complained of illness and stayed at home, so the group ran to the gate of Zhang's house to shout and curse.

After scolding, it was not over yet, they ran to Mei Zhili's mansion again.

Mei Zhili also complained of illness and stayed at home, seeing no one.

So this group of people cried and shouted at the gate of Mei Zhili's mansion.

Each of them is like a little daughter-in-law who cried pear blossoms and rain after being bullied by an evil mother-in-law.

As for Zhao Guanjia, after hearing these things, not only was he not angry, but he also praised these people severely.

This is the attitude of doing things!

If the whole court is full of old fritters who hide in the corner all day waiting for others to come out, everyone is friendly, and they still play with a hammer?

After the group of people finished crying and shouting, they ate tea and chatted together in the political affairs hall, and smashed a few chairs to add to the fun.

For example, Luo Ruji, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, said: "The Southwest is a bottomless pit, and we must reduce expenses now!"

Wang Zonglin, Minister of Taifu Temple, said unceremoniously: "Jiangdong has allocated 100 million guan for changing rice to mulberry, and the money to be allocated next year is now being prepared. I just want to ask how much has been changed! In my opinion, first Suspend the appropriation of Jiangdong!"

"What about the Southwest? Zizhou Road, Kuizhou Road, Chengdufu Road, half of the tax revenue of the three roads this year has been thrown to Fan Zongyin. May I ask what result he got!"

Wang Zonglin said shamelessly, "You have to ask Uncle Zhang Ye Zhang Xianggong about this question!"

"This issue can't be delayed any longer. At the end of the year, if the officials' salaries for the fourth season cannot be paid, and the local officials get angry and affect the implementation of the New Deal, who will bear the responsibility for this!" Wang Ciweng, the minister of punishment, shouted loudly, "Who ! Who will bear it!"

"Ahem..." Zhao Ding coughed twice.

Wang Ciweng said hastily: "Master, I'm sorry, the official was a little excited just now, and the official is also deeply worried!"

"I'll talk about this issue tomorrow." Zhao Ding stood up, "It's getting late today, everyone, go back and have a good rest."

Zhao Ding only has one word now: Procrastinate!

If someone wants to take advantage of financial constraints to make things happen, they should procrastinate first.

Today, everyone dispersed angrily.

The good news about Dali was first sent from Wu Lin to Fan Zongyin, and Fan Zongyin sent it back to the capital overnight.

From the southwest to the capital, there is a distance of more than 3000 miles.

According to the speed of the Song Dynasty's rush, it can be completed in ten days.

However, the urgent delivery system in some remote places in the southwest is not perfect. Fortunately, because of the trade between the southwest and Dali, a large number of post stations have been established.

The horses were changed non-stop, and the fast horses traveled from the southwest border to Kaifeng for fifteen days.

Probably when entering Jingxi South Road, because the post stations became more dense, the speed suddenly increased.

On the morning of August [-]th, when Zhao Ning was listening to the government, Wu Lin's victory report arrived in Tokyo City and was sent directly to the Chuigong Hall.

The originally lively court hall immediately quieted down.

After being quiet for a long time, Wang Zongyi immediately jumped out and said loudly: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, the power of heaven spreads far and wide, and the barbarians are frightened. This is an unprecedented achievement in the Tang Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty, since Master Wang has already defeated Dali, we can withdraw our troops after incriminating Mrs. Gao, so as not to waste money and people!" Luo Ruji said.

"Your Majesty, the Dali army has been defeated by our army, so we can take advantage of the victory and pursue it!"

"Your Majesty, if we continue to use force against Dali and cause the whole people in Dali to resist, we can only invest more troops, which will make our dynasty fall into the quagmire of war. Think about the former Tang Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty, the military in the north is heavy. If the treasury is spent in the southwest, and the Jin people take the opportunity to march south, our dynasty will be in danger!"

"His Majesty……"

Zhao Ning looked at these people with excited expressions.

You can't say it's wrong to continue to fight Dali, and you can't say it's wrong to withdraw troops.

Objectively speaking, in order to destroy Dali, it is indeed necessary to invest a lot of manpower and material resources, otherwise Datang would have killed Nanzhao long ago.

As an emperor, you can't feel invincible just by being bragged by those scholars who haven't even held a knife.

Some scholars think that Dali is a small country, and with a single slap, the mountains thousands of miles away will be wiped out in an instant.

But the reality is that once Dali resists with all its strength, Song Dynasty must increase its troops. Once the increase continues, the risk will expand infinitely.

Zhao Ningzai carefully read Wu Lin's victory report and Fan Zongyin's current analysis of the situation.

He said: "Will it take you all to discuss for so long to attack a Dali?"

Everyone stopped talking.

"The Gao family of Dali disregarded the rituals of the Celestial Dynasty. Shouldn't he be punished?"

Faced with Zhao Guanjia's calm questioning, everyone immediately became dumb.

"Every one of you, you just can't hold your breath. In this huge court, my talented people who govern the country can't afford to wait half a year?"

"The imperial court is spending a little too much money now. You are anxious, and I understand, but we have to wait for a while, right?"

At this time, all the people said: "Your Majesty calm down, the ministers are guilty."

"I didn't say that I would continue to increase the number of troops in Dali, but all of you are sure that I will continue?"

"Of course, it's good intentions for you to advise me to exercise restraint and not to resort to military force. I know this well in my heart."

Gao Qiu on the side thought to himself: Hehehe, what a nice thing to say, all the Zhao officials have said.

Chapter 830 Zhao Guan’s Abacus (Second Change)

He said so in his mouth, but he didn't necessarily think so in his heart.

At least Wu Lin's elite will stay in Dali for a period of time until the political goals Zhao Ning wants are achieved.

War is for political purposes.

A war without a political purpose is no different from a child's play.

Zhao Ning’s political purpose at this stage is to squeeze the tea in Dali in all aspects. As the name suggests, it is to hand over money and flow into Dali.

In short, it is to make a lot of money!

Form a benign tea industry in the southwest and increase treasury revenue.

As for how much money, Zhao Ning has already thought about it.

Dali squeezes out 3000 million catties of tea every year.

Half of them went to sea in Qinzhou.

Zhao Ning had already thought about the model, and the imperial court sold it directly to maritime merchants at an average of 200 Wen per catty.

At this price, sea merchants can definitely make a profit if they sell it to the South China Sea.

And the court's profit per catty is at least 150 Wen, and 225 catties can earn [-] million guan.

Sea merchants of tea can sell for 350 Wen per catty, and the profit per catty can also reach 150 Wen.
