Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Zhao Ding took a sip of tea, stood up, and showed Yu Yunwen a document.

Yu Yunwen frowned while watching.

"This shows that someone tipped off the news, and the Tsingyi Society made preparations in advance, but the list found out has already involved officials from Jingzhao Mansion, and the official rank is not low. Now the various yamen of Jingzhao Mansion are concerned about this matter. If you can't avoid it, continue to investigate, the resistance will be even greater!"

Yu Yunwen fell silent.

"Binfu, do you know how important currency is to a country?"

"The lower officials have read "On Currency" written by officials, so they know a thing or two about currency."

Zhao Ding asked again: "Then do you know that money games can steal people's money invisible?"

"Grand Minister is saying that some dignitaries are now using their status to gather money and specialize in borrowing money, causing the borrowers' families to be destroyed?"

"It's not just borrowing, but also fundraising."

"Fundraising?"

"A considerable part of the Tsingyi Society's money does not only come from the bureaucrats and wealthy people behind it. According to investigations, [-] guan was collected in the surrounding villages of Jingzhaofu."

"How to collect this?" Even Yu Yunwen couldn't figure it out for a while.

"Find a person with a good reputation in the village, let him invest a little money in it first, and return the money every six months."

"Return the money every six months?" Yu Yunwen was startled, "It's like a bank!"

"It's much higher than the bank's interest rate. Once this person makes a lot of money, it will quickly spread in the village!"

"Understood!" Yu Yunwen took a deep breath, "They are collecting money from the villagers, and then lending money. They take a small part of the money they make from lending and return it to the villagers, but in fact the object of lending may be the villagers. , and the Tsing Yi club makes the difference."

"And collect it directly in the name of Tsing Yi Club. This kind of folk hilltops are collected by some local local snakes. Some of the money collected is gathered in Tsing Yi Club in the name of private individuals. They return the money to the villagers once or twice, and it will not Instead of returning it, it disappeared without a trace, but their money may indeed have gone to the Tsing Yi Club, and then borrowed out in the name of the Tsing Yi Club, earning high interest."

"Cheating with your left hand, usury with your right hand?"

"According to what Hu Quan said, it is currently the case."

Zhao Ding continued: "So many villagers have been cheated out of their hard-earned little money. What will happen to them?"

"Some will accept their fate, while others will retaliate."

"In one place, the security chief had his whole family killed by the villagers in the middle of the night. The reason was that the security chief recommended the villagers in the village to save money, and according to the investigation, the money flowed into the Tsingyi Club."

Zhao Ding's tone was unprecedentedly solemn.

"In the case of Tsingyi Club, I was thinking about another issue."

"Great Minister thinks that the Tsingyi Club is just one of them, and now it has been discovered by the court, but there are countless Tsingyi Clubs where they haven't been discovered?"

"This is just one of them. The government once said an interesting question called the fuzzy veil of business. At first I didn't understand what the fuzzy veil was. I read a lot of historical materials. There are actually many fuzzy veil incidents in the historical materials, but I still I couldn’t understand it, until the Tsingyi Club incident, I completely understood.”

Yu Yunwen was even more curious: "Fuzzy veil?"

"When some new policies emerge, no one knows what kind of changes these new policies will bring to the world, so all parties remain cautious and dare not cross the border easily, but if one day, some people After making some bold attempts, I found that I can easily obtain huge wealth from ordinary people by using the power in my hand. The veil of ambiguity will be pierced, and the bureaucracy will no longer know how to control it. fear."

Zhao Ding continued: "Think about it, at the beginning of the launch of the new bank policy, would anyone in the private sector be tricked into raising funds like this?"

"The great lord is right. At that time, the usury was released to the tenants when the landlords were in a hurry. After raising funds, they went to another larger club and used the money they cheated. This is indeed true. New problems exposed by my Great Song Dynasty."

The fuzzy veil is one of the principles of later economics, not created by Zhao Ning.

"The veil of ambiguity has been torn. Not only the currency, but there may be more in the future. The balance of the New Deal has remained stable in court, but changes have taken place in the civil society. Hu Bangheng is now facing great resistance in Shaanxi. What about the southeast? Chengdu What? At this time, someone needs to stand up, withstand the pressure, and go to do these things, otherwise..."

"Otherwise more people will be cheated out of their money, civil turmoil, and wealth will be gathered in the hands of a small number of people. Not only will the people's livelihood be turbulent, but there will also be some forces with huge amounts of money in their hands, threatening the country!"

"That's right." Zhao Ding's tone was steady, but there was a trace of deep helplessness in his steady tone. He sat back again, his eyes were bloodshot, it seemed that he hadn't had a good rest for a while.

Chapter 1118 The Wind and Snow in Chang'an (Second Change)

"What should the great minister do if he needs to be dismissed?"

"I would like to recommend you to enter the Zhongshu Province and serve as a Zhongshu Sheren."

Although Zhongshushe's character is not high, but it is in the center of power, the assistant of the prime minister, and the discussion of the new policy of the Great Song Dynasty, can participate in the first time.

"But the lower official was originally in the military administration..."

"The court needs you now."

Yu Yunwen was startled, stood up and saluted and said, "The great minister will not abandon you, and the subordinate officials are willing to do their duty faithfully."

At the beginning of December, the news of Xixia's destruction had reached Chang'an, which aroused great repercussions in Chang'an.

For a time, officials and people were encouraged.

Many were also relieved.

This means that military service in Shaanxi will be greatly reduced in the future.

Of course, so far, no one knows the future of Chang'an, and it will also usher in changes.

On December 25th, when it was the coldest time, the royal driver of Zhao Guan's family arrived outside Chang'an City.

All the officials of Jingzhao Mansion greeted Sheng Jia triumphantly outside the city.

From a very far distance, I saw a row of solemn military formations approaching in the snow field, which was a kind of breathtaking shock.

Afterwards, all the officials went to the front of Yujia and paid homage: "The ministers and others will see your majesty, long live my emperor."

"It's all free."

Zhao Guanjia's deep and powerful voice came from the carriage.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhao Ning said: "Hu Quan, Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, come to see me."

No one answered.

Not long after, Wang Huaiji ran to the carriage and whispered, "Officials, Hu Quan didn't come."

Zhao Ning was stunned for a moment, good guy, this kid Hu Quan is getting more and more courageous, I won't come to greet me after my triumphant return!

Zhao Ning didn't say anything, and Yu Jia quickly entered Chang'an City.

The nobles in Xixia were arranged by Fan Zhixu, and the guard brigade was arranged by Zhang Bofen.

After Zhao Ning returned to Chang'an's palace, he took a comfortable hot bath.

Next, wine, meat and hot soup are prepared.

After changing clothes, just after coming out, Wang Huaiji hurried over and said, "Officials, Prefect Hu can't come."

"can not come?"

"can not come."

"what reason?"

"He said that as soon as he leaves the prefect's yamen, someone will assassinate him. He has been in the prefect's yamen for two months."

"Assassinate him?" Zhao Ning's expression changed immediately, and anger was evident in his tone, "Who wants to assassinate him?"

"This minister doesn't know either."

Zhao Ning walked back and forth a few times, and then said: "Jing Chao, you take a guard to bring Hu Quan here, and go immediately!"

"Yes!"

Hu Quan was eating mutton at the prefect's yamen, Zhang Chong ran in and shouted: "Prefect Hu, there are many people outside, saying that they are the imperial guards, and I want you to see your majesty."

Hu Quan then put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said with satisfaction: "The mutton you cook is still delicious!"

Zhang Chong laughed quickly and said, "Prefect Hu always praises me, I'm ashamed."

"Come on, let's go see His Majesty!"

"Am I going too?"

"Of course, you are a participant in the Qingyi community case."

"Then shall we go back and change into our luggage?"

"No, our Majesty is a real person!"

Hu Quan strode out, and Zhang Chong shouted from behind: "Prefect Hu, you haven't bathed for a long time, do you want to take a bath before going?"

"That's unnecessary."

Hu Quan wore an official uniform and hat, and walked out swaggeringly with Zhang Chong.

"It turned out to be Jingdu Yu, don't come here for nothing, don't come here for nothing."

"Officer Hu, long time no see." Jing Chao smiled, he was an old acquaintance, "I was ordered by the official family to come pick you up."

"Then please."

Jing Chao took a sniff, and suddenly said, "Guan Hu, why do you have a sour smell?"

"Is there?" Hu Quan raised his arm, sniffed, with a puzzled look on his face, "No."

Jing Chao said: "It stinks worse than me, a soldier. Don't go back and take a bath, lest Your Majesty..."

"No, His Majesty has something urgent to call on me. In case of delay, His Majesty gets angry, and no one can afford it."

"Okay, let's go."

Surrounded by the imperial guards, Hu Quan walked towards the palace of Zhao Guan's family with extremely arrogant steps.

People have not yet arrived at the palace, and the matter has already spread throughout the official circles of Chang'an City.

"What! The officials asked the imperial guards to pick up Hu Quan?" Wang Qun, the counselor on the right side of Yongxing Army Road, said in surprise.

"Yes, we saw Hu Quan being picked up by the imperial guards with our own eyes!"

Wang Qun anxiously walked back and forth, when the maid on one side came to add charcoal to the stove, she was kicked down by him, and angrily shouted, "Get out!"

The maid was so frightened that she quickly got up and backed out.

"How long will Your Majesty stay in Chang'an?" Wang Qun asked again.

"Your Majesty has been on the expedition for several months, and now it's the end of the year. You should take a rest for two days before heading back to Bianjing. It is impossible to stay in Chang'an for a long time."

It was a fat man who was talking, and this fat man was wearing a mink coat, the kind of clothes that ordinary people might work hard for ten years without eating or drinking before they could barely afford one.

"Wei, you immediately arrange for your people to intercept and kill Hu Quan!"

Wei Changming stood up and said with a surprised face: "Wang Shenyi, you are right, that is the emperor's imperial guards, you asked me to intercept and kill the imperial guards, I don't want to die!"

"If Hu Quan talks nonsense in front of His Majesty, you have to die if you don't want to!"

"Go to the imperial guards to get people now. After His Majesty finds out, you must not surround the entire Chang'an city!"

After being said so, Wang Qun immediately reacted, he could only sigh, and said: "Hu Quan has already set his sights on me, I don't know what he found when he checked the Tsingyi Club, what if the damn old man Sun With ledgers, we're all screwed!"

"Shangguan Wang, don't worry. Even if the Tsingyi Society's account books are in the possession of Hu Quan, it can only prove that you have money in the Tsingyi Society, but it cannot prove that your money comes from those villagers. The money of those villagers has long been wiped out. Well, when the time comes, you will say that your family members voted for Tsing Yi Club without telling you. You are completely unaware of it, but there are also mistakes. The family is not strict. Please resign and fine. of."

"You don't understand His Majesty's temper."

"The hands of more than half of the officials in Chang'an City are not clean. They have let go of usury and participated in it. I don't believe that His Majesty dares to expose this matter immediately. Do you think His Majesty can kill most of the officials in Jingzhao Mansion in one go?" cut it?"

Wang Qun was startled, thought for a while and said, "That's not true, whoever is cut off will manage the place."

"Since that's the case, why should Wang Shenshi be nervous? Let's see what Hu Quan can do!"

But it was said that Hu Quan swaggered outside the palace, and after passing the word, Hu Quan took Zhang Chong and walked in.

It was the first time Zhang Chong saw such a battle, and he was nervous and excited.

Hu Quan entered the main hall, saluted and said: "Minister Hu Quan, see Your Majesty, I wish you peace."

"Minister Zhang Chong, see Your Majesty, and wish you peace."

"Sheng Gong'an." Zhao Ning walked down, walked in front of Hu Quan, was about to speak, suddenly sniffed, covered his nose and said, "Why is there such a sour smell coming from your body?"

Chapter 1119 Interest groups forced to jump over the wall? (first update)

But Hu Quan said confidently: "To tell you the truth, I haven't bathed for nearly two months."

"Oh?" Zhao Ning took three steps back, "Is there no bathhouse in Chang'an?"

You know, the bathing culture of Song people is extremely developed.

Especially bath culture.

There are many bathhouses on the streets of Bianjing.

Chang'an City is no exception.
