Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"Oh, where did the little lady get so much food?"

"There is land at home, and some people go to the private sector to buy food."

"How much is the little lady willing to sell to Tokyo?"

"Seven hundred wen per stone."

Zhao Ning was taken aback: "Today's grain price in Tokyo is [-] Wen per shi, why are you willing to pay such a low price? And you have a long way to go."

"Without him, I want to do business with Tokyo."

"Little lady's words are just a heart-to-heart confession, is she trying to make friends with the dignitaries in Tokyo?"

Qian Jinshu smiled and said, "To be honest, I have such a plan. I have cloth and silk workshops at home, and I want to set up property on Gyeonggi Road."

"Southeast is rich, why do you have to come to Tokyo?"

"The shortage of money in the southeast is more or less hindered, and now that there is a shortage of food in the capital, my brother also wants to do his best for the court."

"Your brother also came to Tokyo?"

"coming."

Zhao Ning said: "Can you really provide [-] shi of grain per month, and are you willing to sell it for [-] ren?"

"It's natural."

Zhao Ning's mind was spinning quickly.

He wasn't thinking of making a bridge for her to come to Tokyo to do business, but he was thinking about whether the strategy of opening up a military payment supply route from Hangzhou could start to be laid out.

Open up a sea line from Hangzhou, transport military rations to Dengzhou, set up a secret military base in Dengzhou in a low-key manner, and then lead it to the southernmost part of the Liaodong Peninsula (Dalian Lushun), where it will develop insignificantly. prepare for?

Chapter 206 Riot against tax? (third change)

Zhao Ning said: "I know a few people in the capital who can help you."

"Then thank you officer."

The two didn't talk any more. Qian Jinshu left the address of her residence, and she also asked about Zhao Ning's address, but Zhao Ning didn't say much.

All the way back to the palace, Zhao Ning was quite emotional.

The situation has to be opened step by step.

As soon as he returned to the palace, he found Gao Qiu waiting in front of Wende Hall.

Seeing Zhao Guanjia came back, Gao Qiu hurried over: "Guanjia, something is wrong."

"What's the matter?"

"There was a riot in Weishi County. Many people refused to pay the agricultural tax, and even injured the tax collectors in the transfer office."

Zhao Ning was slightly taken aback.

Seeing Zhao Guanjia's expression, Gao Qiu was even more anxious: "Guanjia, what should we do now?"

A riot broke out, which is a big deal!

The new policy had only been promulgated for a few days, and a group of officials in the capital opposed it. Now it was the turn of Weishi County, which was even more exaggerated and directly rioted.

"Officials! Officials!" Gao Qiu shouted anxiously.

Only then did Zhao Ning come back to his senses.

What's wrong?

This is obviously a good thing!

What is Zhao Ning most afraid of?

What I am most afraid of is that after the new policy is pushed down, there will be no response!

No response means no problem?

No response means there is a big problem. It means that the Transshipment Office is not active in collecting taxes this time, and is doing things according to the old rules.

If there is a response, it means pregnancy... Oh no, it means that the Transshipment Department is really promoting the new agricultural policy.

"How many people rioted?"

Gao Qiu said anxiously: "At least hundreds of people!"

"not enough!"

"Missing?" Taiwei Gao's eyeballs were about to protrude, official, you don't have a fever, do you?

"not enough!"

"Chen... I don't quite understand what the officials mean."

"I mean, there were only a few hundred people rioting. This number is too small. According to their tricks, they will inevitably make up various excuses to incite the people and let the people participate."

"That……"

"When did you get the news?"

"Half an hour ago, the people I sent to Weishi County sent them back quickly."

"When do you expect this to happen?"

"It must have been yesterday afternoon."

"That's right, there will definitely be more than a thousand people today." Zhao Ning looked like I was so fucking smart.

Gao Qiu was confused by Zhao Guan's calmness.

Officials, it's a riot now!It's a riot!

"Officials, it hasn't been long since the Fang La riot, and now..."

"The Fangla riot was persecuted by treacherous officials in the court, how can it be compared with this incident!"

Gao Qiu was even more shocked. Was Fang La forced to rebel?

It was the first time he had heard such a statement, and it was from the mouth of the emperor.

"Is there a Weishi County Daily?"

"It's done, but it's not printed. It's all copied by hand, and I've got a storyteller."

"Is there any publicity for the imperial court's new policy?"

"Have!"

"you sure?"

"Affirmative, and according to the intention of the officials, it has been publicized that the Jin people deliberately sabotaged the New Deal."

"What is the attitude of the people?"

"When it was announced that day, many people cheered."

Zhao Ning looked at Gao Qiu and asked, "Are you sure it's cheering?"

"The ministers are all sent by the most confidant people, and they will never lie!"

"That's right."

"What's wrong?" A question mark appeared on Gao Qiu's head.

"Okay, your people are closely monitoring the movement, go down, I will arrange it."

"Officials, there is no need for ministers to do something..."

"What you have to do now is to have people from Sifu and Sixteen Counties report the situation regularly. I need to keep abreast of all the information, especially the attitude of the common people towards the New Deal, understand?"

"Understand!"

"Go down!"

"Yes!"

In the afternoon, Yue Fei, who was training in the army camp, received the emperor's order to visit Weishi County.

The tasks are clearly stated.

Yue Fei immediately led [-] cavalry, and hurried to Wei's.

The news of Wei's riot also reached the capital in the evening.

The forces of all parties in the capital themselves have been torn apart enough.

Conservatives continue to yell, the New Deal faction is fighting chicken blood, including officials from government schools and universities are busy.

As for many people in Tokyo, they gossip before and after meals.

It was under such circumstances that the riots in Weishi County spread.

Immediately, like a meteorite falling into the already rough lake, higher waves were rolled up.

In the uproar, some people calmed down instead.

For example, Cai Mao, one of the big conservatives, calmed down at this moment.

Li Chunyou was very anxious at first, so he said to Li Chunyou: "The matter is getting big, and Zhao Ding can't close the scene. In the end, someone will take the responsibility, so let's just wait and see."

As long as the situation is overwhelmed, the conservatives will inevitably take advantage of the situation and attack, completely suppressing the New Deal faction in one go.

Of course, there were still a large number of officials who took the trouble to write "threat memorials" to the emperor, saying "The Song Dynasty is about to end, and the ancestral society is about to collapse", which caused ups and downs for the government and the public.

Some people even burst into tears in the yamen, saying that they had dreamed about Taizu, and Taizu was furious at the current New Deal.

What is Zhao Ning's attitude towards the current storm in court?

Never mind.

Memorial?

Burn them all!

I don't have time to waste my time.

He also doesn't fight with those people, it's futile, it's nothing more than shifting conflicts.

As for the people in Tokyo City, after hearing about the riots, they also had a clearer attitude: they support the imperial court to put down the chaos, this must be a secret provocation by gold thieves!

Wanyan Wu Qimai: I still have a lot of cards to play.

At noon on June [-], the sun was scorching the earth, and the ground ahead was steaming hot.

A large house in Weishi County.

"Father, you are back."

"came back."

"Go to the capital, how is the situation?"

"I went to the Zhengshitang, and Mr. Zhao met us in person." Li Mu of Weishi County is a big landlord, grain merchant, and cloth merchant in Weishi County.

The Song Dynasty did not suppress commerce, and it was the era when merchants circulated freely. Merchants in Weishi County liked to transport goods to Tokyo for trading.

It was also the first time in Li Mu's life that he saw the prime minister, and he was very emotional.

His son Li Sandao: "Father, Mr. Zhao is the current Prime Minister?"

"Who else but him?"

"Then what did Mr. Zhao say?"

"Given two options, either pay taxes according to the new agricultural policies, or sell the land."

Li San was surprised: "Why!"

"Why? Given that half of the current business is an opportunity given by the court last year, why do you think the magistrate of Weishi County will give us a chance? That's what Zhao Xianggong said. He wants to support businessmen who are willing to serve the court. This opportunity is your father. I got it after giving away a few hundred guan!"

"Then we have to pay taxes according to the New Deal?"

"How can I afford it!"

"Why don't you put it under the name of the tenant and say it's not our field?"

Li Mu looked at his son like an idiot: "Go to the yamen and see if the county magistrate dares to help you?"

"Father, we managed to get the land. The old Liu's family doesn't pay taxes. I heard that Master Liu called Wang Laoliu and the others here and stirred up a group of people to make trouble in Weishi County. Things got more and more troublesome. Bigger."

Li San said it seriously: "You said that this matter has become a big deal, and Weishi County will not pay it, so we don't have to pay it."
