Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

In fact, Zhao Ning didn't care about this list, and he didn't bother to look at it. Those who should be assigned should be assigned, and those who should be killed should be killed.

Butcher Zhao's mentality of killing people became more and more calm.

But the problems reflected behind this are more important.

Killing people is the easiest, but can killing people completely solve the problem?

As for the second point mentioned by Zhao Ding, among the commercial properties involved by these officials, there are many livelihood industries that could have been handed over to private commercial companies.

But because officials have power and can get core resources faster, this deprives ordinary people of the qualifications to participate in business.

When a bureaucratic private monopoly is formed at the local level, wouldn't it return to the previous situation where the bureaucrats colluded with the landlords and controlled the people?

The so-called new trading company and employment contract system are a kind of guarantee for the rights of the people when they participate in labor.

Once the bureaucrats have a private monopoly, the employment contract system is more likely to be reduced to a dead letter.

If the employment contract system cannot be established, how can the new trading company operate?

And how to establish a socialized division of labor step by step in the Great Song Dynasty?

Discovering the New World, opening up business in the Southeast Asian countries, and doing business with the Western Regions are not just things that can be accomplished by state-owned trading companies.

Any one person, an organization, can control the scope is limited.

To really make the Great Song Dynasty strong, it is necessary to establish a rule of participation by the whole people.

Among them, the new trading company and the employment contract system are a kind of rules for the participation of the whole people.

Let all people have the opportunity to pursue wealth, in order to stimulate vitality.

But the current situation is that some bureaucrats are using their power to prepare to suck up resources.

This is one of the most fundamental problems exposed this time.

Zhao Ding raised this deeper question.

"Then how does Grand Master think to solve it?"

Zhao Ding said: "My minister thinks that the imperial court should promulgate a new law, strictly prohibiting officials from all over the country and their immediate family members from engaging in business. Anyone who receives imperial salaries should act impartially and not overstep!"

As soon as he said this, someone immediately stood up and opposed it.

"Impossible!" It was Cai Mao who spoke, "There are countless businessmen in the court. If this order is issued, it will cause chaos!"

"How messy?" Zhao Ding asked.

Cai Mao said: "In the past, when officials were engaged in business, they would think that it was what they should have done based on their own abilities. Now that the imperial court hastily deprived them, they would think that the imperial court was unreasonable and arbitrarily deprived them of their money, and no one could accept it."

"The royal salary is not a lot. Just the salary of the imperial court is enough for any official's family to live comfortably." Zhao Ding argued with reason, "Officials are already well-fed, and there is still hope for further advancement in the official career. , but still want to cut off the wealth of the people for their own selfishness, this is not advisable!"

"Yeah!" Zhao Ning hurriedly took up the words, "The Great Minister makes sense."

"His Majesty……"

Zhao Ning did not give Cai Mao a chance to speak, he said: "I ask you, what is strong?"

"The strong, the power shakes all directions, and there is no one who dares not to follow."

"Then what is Sheng?"

"Prosperous, prosperous, prosperous."

"Then what kind of country is strong and prosperous?"

Cai Mao said: "The barbarians from all over the world dare not go south to graze horses, and they all pay tribute to the Celestial Dynasty. This is strong, and the people have enough food and clothing. This is prosperity."

"Cai Xianggong's words are beautiful! Wealth lies in the country, which makes it strong. If it is hidden in the people, it will be prosperous. If the country is rich and the people are rich, then it is strong!" Zhao Ning's tone suddenly became a little serious, "What I want is a A strong and prosperous Song Dynasty, not just stop at the figures of the national treasury! It cannot flow all the money into the pockets of bureaucrats!"

The crowd fell silent.

"The money is in the hands of these officials and their families, so what's the point of the court's new policy! What do I need you for!"

If it was an ordinary official who was so insulted by the Zhao official family on the spot, his legs would have been weak from fright.

But Cai Mao looked calm, he said: "Your Majesty's teaching is right!"

"What do officials do?" Zhao Ning asked another question, "Why do you become an official?"

Everyone is still silent.

"Could it be that they came to my court to become officials just to make money? If I don't give them a chance to make money, they won't do it?"

Zhao Guanjia glanced around, and continued to ask: "When did I treat anyone badly in the distribution of money?"

"In the second year of Jingkang, the Jin army just withdrew its troops. The first thing I did was to ask the Ministry of Households to pay the salaries of the officials, and to make up for the gaps in the past!" Zhao Guan's family seemed to be excited, "I am pregnant with a child." My heart is to rule this world with you! I dare not treat you wrongly!"

Everyone immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty's grace, I am so grateful, I dare not forget each other forever!"

After a moment of silence, Zhao Ning withdrew his emotions and returned to calm.

To be precise, in-depth analysis of this matter is what Zhao Ning will do today.

The two points that Zhao Ding said are crucial.

Now that the prime minister is taking the lead, the Zhao official family has expressed their position again, and there are a few Zhao official family's dog legs here, and the matter has basically become a little less.

Then everyone began to discuss how to implement the ban on officials and their immediate family members from doing business.

This problem involves the governance of the entire bureaucratic system, and it is a long process.

Including who will take the lead at the beginning, how to implement it in a way that officials can relatively accept, what resistance will be encountered, what methods will be adopted, and what goals will be achieved in the end to be considered successful.

This series of processes has all been discussed on the table.

This discussion continued until noon.

There is already a conclusion on how to deal with that group of people.

As for the strict prohibition of officials from doing business, it will be released: "The Rules of the Great Song Dynasty on the Prohibition of Business by Officials".

Zhan Dafang, Wang Qian, and Liu Wangxian were defined as traitors collaborating with the enemy and were executed in half!

The rest have interests, although they are not defined as traitors, they have also violated the laws of the court, and they must be executed!

The family was ransacked, and the family members were dispatched to the border, and the descendants would never be allowed to become officials.

As for why only three people are defined as traitors, the reason is also very simple.

You can't tell the world that there are nests of traitors in my court, right?

Do you want the face of this fucking court?

The imperial court has no face, so where is the prestige?

"Nie Chang."

"Chen is here!"

"What else do you have to say?"

Nie Chang thought for a while and said: "I feel that since all localities have prepared officials, and their powers and duties are becoming more and more detailed, the court need not worry too much. Show the imperial court's attitude towards this matter, and demonstrate His Majesty's might and kindness to the people of the world!"

"Okay! You come to assist Gao Qiu in this matter! Just arrest what needs to be done! Don't be afraid!"

"Yes!"

This matter moved forward very quickly. In the afternoon, Zhan Dafang, Liu Wangxian and Wang Qian were known in the streets and alleys of Tokyo City, and there were endless scoldings for a while.

This is an unknown era, some people become famous overnight, some people are high-spirited and turbulent, seeing him rise from a tall building!

But there are also people who have lost their reputations and fell from the blue sky to the abyss.

You can say it is a paradise for opportunists, or it can be said that it is a hell for those in power.

Because on this midsummer evening, a total of 23 people were pushed to the execution ground outside the city.

Even the heavy rain couldn't delay Zhao Guan's determination to kill.

Chapter 690 Stabbing Qin Hui in the Back? (third change)

These 23 people are not all small shrimps.

Yushi Zhongcheng, the second in command of Yushitai, is at the same level as the servant.

Doctors from the Ministry of Punishment and Doctors from the Ministry of War, who can enter Beijing and work in the power center, which one is not strong enough in the backstage.

In addition, the principals of the key yamen are not missing.

23 people were killed, but there are still many people who were punished for negligence.

In the eight years of Jingkang, relative peace lasted for many years, and the total population has exceeded [-] million.

The number of officials is about 50.

Out of 50 million, 50 people are selected, and these [-] people are the top social class.

Countless people study hard day and night in order to squeeze into this class.

Even so, it takes a lot of hard work to step in.

And after stepping in, you have to go through countless ups and downs before you can go up.

For ordinary people, the county magistrate is a high official.

Therefore, for them, the people killed outside the city today are all high officials!

"I don't want to die!" Ministry of Industry Lang Zhongzhuang Zhuang Zaiqing yelled in despair, he cried bitterly, and tears fell down his face following the torrential rain.

"I don't want to! Your Majesty! I was wronged! It was a traitor who framed me!"

"Your Majesty! I just made a mistake that all officials in the world will make! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"..."

In front of the execution ground, the knife came down and broke Zhan Dafang's waist.

Zhan Dafang didn't die immediately, but lay there in pain, the expression on his face twisted.

This scene made more people go crazy with fright.

Just as Zhuang Zaiqing was wailing crazily, the head of Liu Yuan, the right cao director of the household department, was chopped off with a knife.

The human head rolled into the puddle and floated up in the puddle, face up, eyes wide open, pale white by the lightning, as if staring at Zhuang Zaiqing.

Zhuang Zaiqing's face was splattered with blood, which was immediately washed away by the rainstorm.

The ground was stained red.

Zhuang Zaiqing cried out in fright: "I don't dare anymore! I don't dare anymore..."

No one paid any attention to him, and the executioners around him all watched this scene indifferently.

After killing Liu Yuan, the executioner walked up to Zhuang Zaiqing.

This industrial doctor was living a life that countless people could not touch yesterday.

"Your Majesty! I support the New Deal..."

These were Zhuang Zaiqing's last words, and his head also rolled into the puddle, together with Liu Yuan.

It can be said that since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there has never been a Zhao official who killed people so decisively.

The literati and bureaucrats of the Great Song Dynasty claimed to be the most honorable group of people in the world other than the royal family.

But it was a certain part of such a group of people who were trampled back and forth by Zhao Ning.

noble?

speculation?

As long as you are caught by me, it doesn't matter whether you supported the New Deal before.

With desperate screams, heads were chopped off one by one.

The other three were also cut in half.

When it was getting dark, Cai Mao was waiting for Zhao Guan's house in front of Wende Hall.

The rain stopped slowly, and a full moon hung in the sky, spilling silver and white, reflecting the water droplets on the trees crystal clear.

"Cai Xianggong." Zhao Ning walked over from the front.

"Officials."

"What do you want from me?"

"It's about Zhan Da's plan."
