Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant
Page 911
And the officials who asked the questions were very cautious and polite.
Of course, not only King Liao was interrogated, all the important witnesses present were summoned, including Wei Xiang who ate chicken legs in Xingzhou.
During the entire interrogation process, officials continued to write letters to express grievances for the Liao king.
In fact, what Zhao Ning is worried about is not the attitude of the officials, but the generals of the Liaodong Army centered on Han Shizhong. These people have worked with Zhao Chen for many years, and they are in important positions on the border.
When they learned that King Liao was under investigation, what kind of psychological reaction would they have?
Even if King Liao has not been convicted yet, but is only under investigation, the hearts of the people are like water.
For most people, when the wind blows a little, it starts to storm.
On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, just as the people in Bianjing City began to prepare for the New Year, an urgent military report from the grassland caused ripples in the court.
"Is Jin Wushu still unbearable?" Zhao Ning pondered after reading Chuuhe's military newspaper.
"Your Majesty, I think the Jin people have committed a foul again." Qian Yuqing stood up and said, "Now I, Song Dynasty, are willing to pay high prices for the supplies of the Kingdom of Jin, and then sell the originally expensive goods to the Jin people at a reduced price. The officials wished they could burn incense in the Great Song Dynasty, and according to Yichen, they would cut off the trade between the two countries, and let them watch the money sitting there, but they would not be able to enter their own pockets."
"What do you guys think?"
"I feel that Qian Xianggong's method is biased." Lu Yihao said, "There must be some people in the Jin Dynasty who are unwilling to continue to trade with our country. If I take the initiative to cut off the trade, it will just give those main fighters an excuse to treat the Jin Dynasty. China's inflation hit, but all previous efforts were wasted."
"Lu Xianggong doesn't know that the number of nobles and bureaucrats trading with our dynasty is huge. We only need to deliberately cut off some of them, and they will think that another group of people has robbed them of their business. These people will be even more unhappy. If there is balance, there will be emotions, and this is the result we want."
When Qian Yuqing said this, Lu Yihao couldn't help but nodded.
As expected of a businessman, this kind of detailed calculation, combined with so many years of political training, has been perfected.
Zhao Ning said: "Then follow this method and send someone to Yanjing to talk."
In a blink of an eye, it was already the New Year's Eve, and the city of Bianjing was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and it was full of joy.
Zhao Ning was at the family banquet, and Zhao Chen also came.
Zhao Chen sat on the side eating food and drinking in silence. Since that incident, Zhao Chen seemed to be a different person again.
Zhao Ning didn't say anything either, he didn't want to have another big fight with Zhao Chen here.
But the atmosphere is still a little dignified.
"Daddy." Zhao Jin stood up and said, "I wish you a long life and good health."
After speaking, he drank the wine in the glass.
Zhao Ning smiled and said, "Don't you know how to drink?"
Zhao Jin said: "The child is already 13 years old, and he can go to the household department to work, and it is time to learn to drink."
Zhao Ning also drank the wine in the glass.
Zhao Jin walked to Zhao Ning and said, "Daddy, can I sit here?"
"sit down."
Seeing this scene, Concubine Zhu Shende on the side was quite happy.
Zhao Jin said in a low voice: "Daddy, there is one thing that I have never understood. Although today is New Year's Eve, my son still wants to ask Daddy for advice."
"What's the matter?" Zhao Ning looked at Zhao Jin in surprise. The little guy said something, and deliberately lowered his voice, looking like a big kid.
"Guanzhong has been in the west since ancient times. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The imperial court is now vigorously supporting Guanzhong. Once Guanzhong recovers, if there are ambitious people there who use power to oppose the imperial court, the situation may be very serious."
Zhao Ning looked at Zhao Jin even more surprised, he didn't expect Zhao Jin to ask such a question.
It seems that he didn't stay in Chang'an in vain this year, so he must have learned a lot.
In Guanzhong, as long as there are sufficient supplies, it is indeed easy for separatists to emerge.
The reason why there was no separatism in Guanzhong in the Song Dynasty was because Guanzhong had withered.
But now Zhao Ning wants to revive Chang'an, open up the Silk Road, and connect the Central Plains.
But once Guanzhong rises again, with Guanzhong's easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is no guarantee that it will stimulate the ambition of some people.
"Is this what you thought of yourself, or did someone else tell you?" Zhao Ning asked.
"It was Hu Quan and Hu Buzheng who mentioned it to me."
It turned out that it was Hu Quan who said it. No wonder Zhao Jin was able to ask such pungent questions at such a young age.
However, Zhao Ning looked at Zhao Jin with admiration.
Most people would say that he thought of it himself, but he honestly said that it was Hu Quan who mentioned it.
This either means that he is honest, or that he has a city at a young age.
"Then Buzheng Hu didn't tell you the solution?"
Zhao Jin shook her head and said, "I can't hide it from my father. This is a difficult problem that Hu Buzheng asked the child. He only asked the question but didn't give the answer."
Zhao Ning burst into laughter immediately, and he said, "It seems that you are in Chang'an, and Hu Quan did not make things difficult for you."
"Hu Buzheng has indeed created many problems for the child."
"If you have any other problems, tell me and let me hear."
"How will Jingzhao Mansion's fiscal revenue reach 500 million yuan per year after five years?"
"Then how to reach 500 million guan?"
"Children don't know."
"Boldly."
"Baby feels that this problem has been solved now."
"Oh?"
Zhao Jin said: "Gaochang has been taken down, and the continuous flow of goods from the Western Regions to the east will inevitably settle in Chang'an, enter the Yellow River from the Weishui River, and then arrive at the capital. Since Chang'an has become a transit from the Western Regions to the capital, business will soon prosper. .”
"Is this what Hu Quan told you?"
"Hu Buzheng mentioned a few words."
Zhao Ning asked: "Then do you still think Guanzhong will be separated?"
"The child doesn't quite understand what Daddy means."
"Guanzhong is the central node connecting the Central Plains and the Western Regions. If the Central Plains is removed from the Central Plains, what will it use to make money?" Zhao Ning said, "The resources in Guanzhong itself are already scarce, and most of the people who can consume goods from the Western Regions are in the Central Plains and Jiangnan. area."
"The child understands."
Zhao Ning said: "You can think of this step, which is already very good."
Unexpectedly, Zhao Jin changed the subject and said: "Chang'an is dying, and Hu Buzheng can allocate a lot of food to support Xingzhou. He is really the talent of the Song Dynasty!"
Zhao Ning's heart skipped a beat, and he glanced at his son without a trace.
No matter how you listen to these words, it seems that you intend to lead the contradiction of the topic to Zhao Chen?
"Yu'er, come, come here." Zhao Ning changed the topic and said to Zhao Yu, who was sullen.
Chapter 1384 Da Song’s Economic Sanctions (Second Change)
Zhao Yu reluctantly came over and sat down.
Zhao Ning immediately saw his thoughts.
Zhao Yu admires Zhao Chen the most, and now that Zhao Chen is still under investigation, he must feel grievances for Zhao Chen in his heart.
But Zhao Ning did not talk about this topic.
This topic is not clear in a few words, let alone at a family dinner.
"Yu'er, tell me about your impressions in Hexi."
Zhao Yu hesitated and said, "The battle against the Western Regions is far from over."
"Oh?"
Zhao Yu said: "When the Tatars began to learn our Song Dynasty's way of life, the war will be over."
"Who told you this?"
"No one told me." Zhao Yu said, "I saw many Tatars in Zhangye. They came to Zhangye to do business, and some of them went east to Chang'an. Many people even said they would come to the capital, but these people Their living habits are completely different from ours.”
"What habit?"
"I have no fixed place to live." Zhao Yu said.
"What does being homeless have to do with the fact that the war can't end?"
"If you don't have a fixed place to live, you can't govern effectively. These Tatars are businessmen today, but tomorrow they can change their appearances, mount horses, pick up knives, and fight with us." Zhao Yu said very seriously, "If we can be like big Song people also settled in a fixed city and village, no longer moving, they dare not turn their backs at any time, because the court can find them at any time."
Speaking of this, Zhao Yu's eyes suddenly flashed a cold light: "A stable life will wear down a person's will, and a wandering life will make people wanton."
It seems that they see different things and get different results.
Zhao Ning asked again: "Then when do you think the war in the Western Regions will end?"
"Until the Tatar's living habits are completely changed."
"What if it can't be changed?"
"My child heard that as long as more people are killed, the Tatars will be very cooperative."
"Who told you that?"
"It's Mr. Zhonggu."
"Orihiko quality?"
"Yes."
Zhao Ning didn't ask any more questions.
After the family banquet, he walked back to Wende Hall.
There is a memorial letter, which is a summary of the cement road.
He opened a copy casually, which explained the cement road from Jiangling Mansion to Bianjing.
After the cement road is opened, Jinghu North Road will be completely connected with Gyeonggi.
Lu Yihao made a comment under this letter: Yunmeng Department Store has access to Gyeonggi.
In fact, not only that, but many state capitals that speak the way can communicate with each other.
Zhao Ning seemed to see countless people pushing carts or donkey carts, piled up with chickens, ducks, cloth, clay pots and other goods, gathered and laughed, and transported them to other places for sale.
Not only the cement road from Gangneung to Kaifeng has been completed, but also the cement road from Gyeonggi to Chang'an, and the cement road from Gyeonggi to Zhending.
In the coming year, there will be a cement road from Chang'an to Liangzhou, and then through the entire Hexi.
And, go north from Luoyang, arrive at Taiyuan, and then enter the cement road in Daizhou and the cement road from Gyeonggi to Dengzhou.
Zhao Ning sighed, maybe he drank some wine, he sat on the chair a little tiredly, watching the flickering candlelight.
He is very satisfied.
Recalling that when he was young in his previous life, he was also impatient in handling things. Later, he was beaten severely in society for many years, and gradually became calm and calm.
He never expected that he could quickly bring Da Song into a new era.
The development of things has its own laws, and excessive intervention in a hurry will only be counterproductive.
Many times, with absolute power, he can't help but want to mobilize 10 people in one go. In just a few years, he will build a large road network across the country.
Sanity trumps the thrill of power and vanity every time.
He glanced at the "Mathematics of the Song Dynasty" and "Physics of Jingkang" sent by Gewuyuan, and said in his heart: Next year will be the 17th year of Jingkang, and I have been in Song Dynasty for 16 years.
The 16th year of Jingkang ended in a heavy snow, and the new year came.
On the surface, the new year seems to be no different from the usual.
People are still discussing the cement road built by the imperial court, and there are many foreign goods in the shops in Tokyo City.
But the beginning of the year was unusual.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Qian Wu arrived in Yanjing.
Han Li saw Qian Wu again.
Han Li arranged a sumptuous banquet for Qian Wu, and found eighteen beautiful girls for Qian Wu to beat his legs, squeeze his shoulders, feed him wine, relieve his boredom, and make him feel relaxed and happy.
He also brought the best wine from the Kingdom of Jin, the most delicious food from the Kingdom of Jin, and the most exquisite gold carvings from the Kingdom of Jin.
