Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"Is money important or my position in power?"

"I see, I'll deal with it now."

Wang stood up and walked out quickly.

"By the way, the Lu Qingliu you mentioned earlier has gone south?" Qin Hui stopped Wang.

"Yes, he went south to buy fields, but he went to Jinghu North Road, not Jingxi South Road, and not in Xiangyang Mansion." Wang said with a smile, "You don't have to worry."

"Just in case, let him come back immediately." Qin Hui said.

"He's on Jinghu North Road."

"Jinghu North Road is not allowed!" Qin Hui was still walking back and forth, "The official family suddenly went south, why?"

"why?"

"All parties in the south have written many memorials stating how difficult the people's livelihood in the south is. The officials are going to investigate."

"The people's livelihood is so difficult, the officials will go south to inspect it in person?"

Qin Hui sighed, and said: "You don't understand, the Ministry of Household Affairs has settled a bill. After the Seven Routes New Deal was rolled out, at most it was barely maintaining the frontier army. Now that the imperial court has opened up a battlefield in Liaodong, the military expenditure has increased again. "

"so?"

"So the officials are going to move to the south!" Qin Hui said.

"The South is also going to implement the New Deal?" Wang was taken aback.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

"Then what does this have to do with borrowing money?"

"Did you forget that I'm now promoting the payment of banknotes to Xixiang? This new policy seems to be part of the new agricultural policy, but it is actually an improved version of Wang Jiefu's green crop law. The imperial court is about to start withdrawing loans from all over the world."

Wang asked, "Did the officials mention it before?"

"The behavior of the officials has proved everything."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly left, holding back and throwing away all the loans.

At this time, not only Qin Hui received the letter from Xiangyang Mansion.

Many bigwigs in Tokyo City have received letters from the local government one after another.

Mo Chou hurried to the Zhao residence.

Seeing Zhao Ding coming out, Mo Yu shouted in surprise: "Master, Mr. Minister, something serious happened!"

"I know it all."

"Official Zhao's family is in Xiangyang Mansion, and they have cut off all the criminal and prison envoys, transfer envoys, and elevating Changping envoys. The personnel report on Jingxi South Road has been handed over to the Ministry of Officials."

Mo Chou was obviously overwhelmed by the sudden news.

The three leaders of Jingxi South Road were all chopped off!

And that's the south. Now all the people in the south are talking about tax exemptions, but the government and the opposition are spreading wildly about the new policy going south. It's a sensitive period.

The forces of all parties have tightened a thread.

Song and Jin entered a new round of negotiations.

Partial wars in Taiyuan and Liaodong aggravated the conflict between Song and Jin.

Moreover, the news that the Jin Army displayed its troops in the Hebei area has long been no secret.

There are even rumors that a new all-out war is about to break out between Song and Jin.

Zhao Guan's family is afraid that the world will not be chaotic?

Zhao Ding said: "Send the list to the Political Affairs Hall, you go first, I will come later."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple..."

"Go quickly."

"Yes."

Mo Chou just turned around and came back again, he couldn't help asking: "Why did the officials kill them?"

"Don't ask why, first deal with what we have to deal with."

"Yes, I'm going right now, sir."

In the morning, all the ministers and ministers of Dongfu arrived at the Zhengshitang.

Only Cai Mao has not yet arrived.

At this time, Cai Mao was seeing the Jin envoy.

Xilin Helu and Li Shanqing sat together, and Cai Mao and Li Ruoshui sat opposite.

Xilinhelu began to turn over old accounts: "Is your country sincere?"

Li Ruoshui said, "Why did the envoy Jin say that?"

"I've been in Tokyo for several months, but I can't see Zhao Guan's family, and I can't give me a satisfactory answer about the Taiyuan battle. This is Song State's unilateral sabotage of the Song-Jin peace talks."

The last time Yu Yunwen was so angry that he vomited blood, Xilinhelu swore that he would walk around seeing Yu Yunwen in this life and never say a word to that young man.

He felt that the two old men in front of him were much more kind and bully.

Li Ruoshui said: "Didn't I tell your Excellency a long time ago? The people of Taiyuan were abused by bandits. Wang Shi went north to calm the chaos and reassure the people. Don't you believe me? Go to Taiyuan and ask?"

Xilin Helu said again: "But you attacked our people and killed Wanyan Jiamu, do you know his identity! He is the younger brother of Emperor Taizu! How to explain this matter?"

"That's really tragic. When Master Wang was calming down the chaos, his sword had no eyes, which is very reasonable!" Cai Mao took the words, and he continued, "Why was he standing there at that time?"

Hearing this, Xilin Helu was so angry that he slapped the table and stood up, shouting: "What did you say!"

Cai Mao said unhurriedly: "I mean, Master Wang quelled the rebellion. His sword has no eyes. He is a royal family of the Jin Kingdom. Why did he stand on the battlefield of Taiyuan City and be exposed to bows and arrows? This made us very embarrassed. Ah, we didn't know that he was from the royal family of the Kingdom of Jin, if we knew, maybe we would be rescued."

Cai Mao's rhetoric made the always serious Li Ruoshui couldn't help grinning.

Xilin Helu said angrily: "You are making unreasonable words!"

Cai Mao had a look of "I'm just making excuses, what do you think of me", he picked up the teacup and drank it comfortably.

"What else does the envoy want to say?" Li Ruoshui asked.

"You must give an explanation for the battle of Taiyuan, otherwise my Dajin Million Heavenly Soldiers will immediately go south and crush your Tokyo!" Xilin Helu almost sprayed Cai Mao's face with saliva.

Cai Mao laughed out loud.

He didn't say anything, but he seemed to say everything.

"There is also Liaodong!" Xilin Helu's eyes widened, wishing to swallow Cai Mao alive, "Liaodong! Why did the Song army invade Fuzhou for no reason!"

Li Ruoshui said with a serious face on the side: "Fuzhou has been an inalienable part of China since ancient times."

Chapter 512 Two Lakes Special Zone (Second Change)

"Nonsense! That's obviously my Dajin's territory!" Xilinhelu suppressed his anger and said in a low voice, "Don't think that I didn't study. After the Dajin destroyed the Liao Dynasty, it fully took over, so what is the connection between Fuzhou and your Dasong?"

Cai Mao said: "Have you heard of the Anton Governor's Mansion in the Tang Dynasty?"

"What does it have to do with you Da Song?"

"That's why I said that Fuzhou has been China's land since ancient times, and the Song Dynasty is China. The king's division went east and just regained the lost land."

Xilinghelu said angrily: "So you are starting a war?"

"You can also understand it in this way." Li Ruoshui added.

"My Dajin Tianbing can go south anytime now!"

Cai Mao spat out a word from his nose: "Looking forward."

Xilinhelu still wanted to speak, but was stopped by Li Shanqing, who said, "I have heard about Cai Xianggong's name for a long time, and I can see him today. His reputation is well-deserved."

"There is no need to wear a high hat, let's get to the point."

"About the battle of Liaodong, I am very angry."

"so what?"

"We hope Song Guo will give us an explanation."

"The explanation you want, didn't I just say it?"

"If you insist on this attitude, I am afraid that the relationship between the two countries will deteriorate sharply."

Li Ruoshui smiled again: "When will the relationship between the two countries be better?"

Cai Mao said: "Speaking of Liaodong, I think of Zhending, Zhongshan, Hejian, oh, and Yanyun. If I remember correctly, Yanyun belongs to my Song Dynasty. During the Xuanhe period, I gave it to you. 100 million guan, bought back Youzhou, how about this, we withdraw from Liaodong, you withdraw from Yanyun, and withdraw from outside the customs, how about it?"

Li Shanqing stood up and said with a cold face: "I don't think there is any need to talk about it today."

Cai Mao said, "Please."

"You will pay for this soon!"

Although the fifth war between Song and Jin in the six years of Jingkang was not large in scale, it had far-reaching effects, and it completely changed the pattern of the Three Kingdoms.

At this moment, the negotiations between the two sides have also reached a deadlock.

Zongwang's reinforcements have already begun to return to Liaoyang Mansion.

Cai Mao and Li Ruoshui didn't know until they returned to the Political Affairs Hall after seeing the Jin envoy that something serious happened in the south.

Shao Pu, the servant of the household department, was speaking excitedly. He said: "Now all the roads in the south are asking for tax reduction and exemption because of the tax exemption in Hebei and Hedong. The resistance itself is very strong. The officials killed people at this time. Still not jumping!"

Qian Gai, the left servant of the household department, said: "Don't make a fuss, everyone has been killed, what else can I do?"

"You can't convince the people of the world!" Shao Pu said loudly, "The south is far away from the capital, if people get confused, what will happen?"

No one refuted what he said.

Because what he said is true.

The south is indeed more difficult than the north.

It has been rumored that the new government will go south, and the court will increase taxes on the south. There are many opponents in the court, and there are endless debates.

Seeing Cai Mao coming in, Shao Pu said, "Cai Xianggong is here, please judge Cai Xianggong."

Cai Maoqian laughed twice, but said, "What are you talking about?"

"The officials killed the three major officials in Xiangyang Mansion!"

Cai Mao was taken aback, and looked at Li Ruoshui in blank dismay.

"For what reason?"

Shao Pu said: "The interest on the loan exceeds the court's regulations."

Everyone fell silent again.

Shao Pu said: "Don't talk again? Let's give an explanation for this matter. Now nine times out of ten in the world, the interest rate is tripled. The government has cut people off. What do other people think? These things can't be rushed ,otherwise……"

At this time, Zhao Ding said: "Today's topic is not this, but the election of Jingnan West Road officials."

"My lord, this matter will be passed on soon, and I'm afraid it will cause panic. Now that the golden envoy is still eyeing Tokyo, we..."

"Okay, I see, let's get to the topic of the election."

On May [-], Jiangling Mansion.

The former residence of the richest man in Jiangling was used as a temporary school for Jiangling University.

On this day, Jiangling University has gathered many young scholars, as well as farmers and craftsmen.

The people who came in had naturally undergone strict scrutiny.

Officials are there too.

Sitting in the carriage, Zhao Ning said to Tang Ke: "I know that it is not easy for you in Jiangling, it is very difficult! But now, no one who wants to do something practical is easy!"

Tang Ke said: "Your Majesty takes care of everything every day, and this matter is nothing to me."

"I plan to use Jinghu North Road and Jinghu South Road as the granaries of the Song Dynasty, and I will let you manage them. The current land reclamation efforts are not strong enough, so we must move forward boldly!"

"Your Majesty's foresight and foresight are beyond the reach of my ministers."

"Usury loans, land annexation, and heavy levies and miscellaneous taxes have all suppressed the enthusiasm of the people to work. I have seen and heard it with my own eyes!" Zhao Ning said in a calm and forceful tone, "I want to make the Jinghu two roads go faster. To open up wasteland, we must untie the burden on the people.”

Tang Ke nodded.
