Shenkeng system

Chapter 171
"I don't know!" Zhao Si quickly knelt down.

"Master, do you think that your disciple is really the leader of those bandits?" Zhao Ji turned to ask Master Jing Kong standing beside him.

Zhao Si thumped in his heart. It seemed that Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng had guessed right. The emperor had indeed received the news that he had become the number one in Liangshan.

"My lord, I don't believe that he would do this! Although I don't know why this disciple of mine suddenly gained supernatural powers, can have some fantastic ideas, and can do many incredible things, but his heart is still that little enlightenment ability, He still has good thoughts, and it is impossible to do things that endanger the common people!"

"Yes! I don't believe it either! But once Wang Lun died, he indeed became the leader of the Liangshan bandits... I have definite information!"

"Your Majesty, I feel that this is a vicious counter-intrigue scheme of those thieves! Using this matter to separate the relationship between the monarch and his ministers is to let His Majesty kill the ministers and follow their wishes! Once the minister dies, their copycat technology will be the only one, and the goods can be sold. The sales are even hotter, and the military industry is invincible...Without the minister, they can rebel without restraint..."

"What you said is pretty much what I thought! But the problem is, if everyone in the world knows that you are the leader of Liangshan and my minister, how will I deal with myself?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, now the Liangshan bandits are only my imperial court's township soldiers in name, and they can also be regarded as soldiers of the imperial court. Since they want to drive a wedge between the monarch and his ministers, they will use their tricks and make a public announcement. The big bosses are all courtiers... let them suffer from being dumb, and from then on, those rebels will never go to them again, and secondly, they can also warn those ambitious people that the bandits in Liangshan are so powerful. Zhaoan, rebellion is not the way out..."

"After what you said, it really makes sense! Tong Guan, what do you think?"

Of course, Tong Guan was also called by the emperor to discuss this matter together. Tong Guan looked at Zhao Si meaningfully, bowed his hands, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I think this is indeed a conspiracy by Liangshan, but those thieves, in fact It's just a rat with no ambitions, just wanting to occupy a mountain top to live, and has no intention of being in the country...""

"Liangshanshuipo is also my country! Could it be that the shore of the land is the land of the king, and how can others sleep soundly on the side of the couch? Occupying the mountain as a king is a rebellion, not to mention that some of them are really madmen who kill officials and rebel..."

Tong Guan said in his heart, aren't you talking about it?In the world of the Song Dynasty, which mountain does not have a few grassroots bandits...

However, he didn't dare to say that, but kept silent and didn't answer...

Fortunately, Zhao Ji is still quite self-aware, so he changed the subject: "Oh! But I still know more or less about my family's background! As for the bandits who occupy mountains as kings, as long as it is a mountain, there are 01:30 Some people... So, you still have to find a way to solve this matter in the future... Let's put this matter aside for the time being, just talk about Ying Xing Aiqing's tricks, what do you think?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, as long as it can make all parties live in peace, it is a good idea! I secretly think that this is a good idea!"

"Okay, then come down and ask them to get it... Aiqing Ying Xing, what do you think of the problem of grass bandits all over the mountains and plains just mentioned?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I believe that the people of our Great Song Dynasty are the best people in the world. As long as they have something to eat and fill their stomachs, they will never think of rebelling... Most of the people who rebel are forced to help themselves , this group of people accounted for the majority of the people who pull the poles and fall into bandits, but they are small people at best! The people who really lead them are either bullies or some ambitious people with bad intentions! They even use religion, Inciting and controlling the people, the means are clever and despicable..."

"So, the imperial court has persecuted the people too much these years?" Zhao Ji asked with a sullen face. To say this is to deny his rule.As the supreme ruler, there is some self-deception that wants to be a bitch and also wants to set up a memorial archway!They know what the world is like, but they dare not admit it...

When Zhao Ji asked such a question, of course no one dared to answer.

Zhao Si's silence means acquiescence.

Tong Guan finally took over the topic and said: "Your Majesty, those who fall into the grass and turn into bandits are actually just a group of lazy people! It's not my good people of Song Dynasty..."

"According to what you say, then there are too many troublemakers in Song Dynasty... I remember that there were not so many when I became the throne! Could it be that there are more troublemakers and fewer good people in my hands? What's the point of this?" After Zhao Ji said this, the conversation couldn't be more enjoyable!
At this time, either scold the treacherous officials in power, or scold the emperor for being stupid!These two courtiers, of course, can't say the same thing!

"I knew it, you dare not tell the truth! Well, you don't need to analyze the reason, just come up with a solution!"

"Your Majesty, I believe that the accumulation is hard to recover, and it needs to be simmered and slowly transformed... After all, the treasury is not rich now, and taxes have to be collected; the north is eyeing a tiger, and it is a big deal to prepare for foreign enemies to attack. It is not easy to speak of war... Now Mr. Zhao Yingxing Our economic strategic plan has worked! Let’s burn sand into colored glass, turn flowers into perfume, turn lard into pancreas... and so on, turning decay into a magical method, using extremely cheap raw materials to process them into high-priced In exchange for the wealth of the neighboring country, if this method continues, the neighboring country will only become poorer and poorer..." Of course Tong Guan is a veteran, and he will not talk nonsense.

"This... is of course a good idea! But aren't you afraid that those people will come to snatch them when they are poor and crazy?" Zhao Ji asked.

"So, we need to use the money we got in order to manufacture large quantities of weapons and armaments and equip the army. If they dare to invade, we will let them come and go..."

"However, the common people don't seem to have resolved anything... Aren't we talking about thieves? Why did the frontier army get involved..."

At this time, Zhao Si spoke.

"Your Majesty, as for the people, please exempt them from excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and serve with pay..."

"What? Boy, is this a bad idea of ​​yours. Do you want me and the whole Song Dynasty to drink the northwest wind?"

"Your Majesty, it must not be like that! If we work hard, the income from trade with neighboring countries will definitely catch up with the current annual tax... Therefore, I think we can encourage large workshops, large caravans, and encourage them to produce and distribute, and then levy taxes on this tax to make up for the national treasury... This is one aspect!"

"You can do it?" Zhao Ji asked puzzledly, "How much can I collect? It's just..."

"It works, it may be less at first, but this has a bright future, no job, no wealth..."
