Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Lin Yifei said, "I know."

Qin Hui also said: "Kang Kang is back. Because of the Shanxi Tsingyi Society case, the current situation is not good. The court will host a debate on private and private lending. The result of the debate is related to the ups and downs of King Kang's political achievements. Borrowing, then Kang Wang is at most responsible for negligence, if..."

Lin Yifei said, "I don't know one thing."

"You said."

"Kang Kang restrained Zhang Jun in the northwest, and King Kang was suddenly transferred back. Who will restrain Zhang Jun? Xixia was destroyed, and personnel changes in the northwest were drastic. Aren't the officials afraid that the Northwest Imperial Army will be overwhelmed?"

Qin Hui said: "Zhang Jun will return to Bianjing soon. I have a hunch that there will be a major change in the center of the imperial court in the near future."

"The northwest is too far away from the capital, and there are heavy guards. The government must send someone they can trust. King Kang is the brother of the government. Besides trusting King Kang, who else can the government trust?"

Qin Hui nodded, and said: "You are right. His Majesty's princes are still young, and the other princes don't care about political affairs. Zhang Jun has been entrenched in the northwest for ten years. He must not stay any longer. King Kang still has a great chance. of."

Lin Yifei was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "The golden man has a second condition."

"What conditions?"

"Kill Yue Fei."

"Kill Yue Fei?" Qin Hui was taken aback, a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, it made sense.

Many famous generals in the Kingdom of Jin have been defeated by Yue Fei many times, and Yue Fei has almost become a nightmare for the Jin people now.

At this time, Yue Fei was in Yizhou, and Jin Wushu, who had always been arrogant and domineering, could only stay in Yizhou, not daring to leave.

The Jinren couldn't defeat Yue Fei on the frontal battlefield, and it was normal to want to solve Yue Fei through political means.

Qin Hui was silent for a while, and said: "Our request is that King Kang can become the crown prince. Even if he can't become the crown prince, he can still command a large army in the frontier."

"I have already deepened the relationship with the third prince, which is very beneficial to my stable position. Yue Fei has good friends with Zhao Ding and Qian Yuqing. Zhao Ding supports the fourth prince Zhao Yu. Needless to say, Qian Yuqing definitely supports it. Fifth Prince."

Chapter 1134 Murder Invisible (Part [-])

"But Jinren's request to kill Yue Fei is a little too much," Qin Hui said.

"Yue Fei is obviously not in the same camp as us. Killing Yue Fei will not doubt us, but it will be beneficial." Lin Yifei said.

"I don't feel pity for Yue Fei's life and death. If Yue Fei's death can bring us great benefits, then I naturally hope that he will die immediately, but how can we move him now?" Qin Hui said with a sullen face, "Yue Fei held Hebei The most elite troops of the two groups are the frontline positions against the Jin people. He has made great achievements repeatedly, his reputation is rising, and there are countless supporters in the court. It is more difficult to move him than ascending to the sky. Do you want to expect the officials to suddenly faint? ?”

"It may not be impossible." Lin Yifei's face looked gloomy.

"Oh?"

"Qin Xianggong, what problems does the court have now?"

Qin Hui said: "There are many problems, such as bank lending, private lending, corruption, collusion between local bureaucrats and businessmen, as well as the South China Sea issue, Yanyun issue, after the end of Xia, the administrative and military issues in the Northwest, the Liaodong issue, Goryeo question."

Speaking of these, Qin Hui came at his fingertips.

"Also, I heard that Japan rejected our people who went to Japan to mine. Now this matter is still under negotiation, and it is not considered an outbreak. The ordinary people think that the imperial court will destroy Xixia and defeat the Jinren, and usher in a prosperous age. Once some problems break out, many of them will die without a place to bury them!"

Lin Yifei said: "The lower officials simply classify them into financial issues, administrative issues, and military and political issues. Yue Fei is in the army, so it is naturally related to military and political issues. Then we will find a way to military and political issues, and slowly pull Yue Fei down!"

"You keep talking."

"The government trusts Yue Fei, court officials admire Yue Fei, and the common people worship Yue Fei. Then we will start by tearing the trust of the officials in Yue Fei. As long as the officials gradually distrust Yue Fei, some officials will gradually stay away. If Yue Fei can cause anxiety, the people will no longer worship Yue Fei."

Qin Hui looked at his son with admiration, and he said, "How do you separate the official family from Yue Fei?"

"It's not easy to separate the officials from Yue Fei. You can't directly separate them. You have to start with the military and political issues of the court."

Qin Hui immediately understood it, but he pretended not to know, and continued to ask, "How do I get it?"

"Currently the biggest controversy in the court is Zhang Jun's issue, followed by Han Shizhong's issue." Lin Yifei said eloquently, "Zhang Junhu has been in Shaanxi for ten years and has countless cronies. King Kang was transferred to the northwest. The evidence of Zhang Jun's distrust is just that the official means are concealed, now that Xixia has been destroyed, it is impossible for the imperial court to tolerate Zhang Jun staying in the northwest."

When any new territory is included, it is accompanied by a large number of personnel appointments and job restructuring.

This time is an extremely sensitive period for all forces, and everyone hopes to arrange their own people to go there.

As for Zhang Jun, his prestige in the northwest was indeed very high. Any emperor with normal intelligence would transfer such a frontier official during this period of personnel vacancy.

At least this point, Lin Yifei was very accurate.

Qin Hui knew better.

And not only Qin Hui and his son, Zhang Jun left the Northwest has been the consensus of the whole court, even Zhao Ding and Lu Yihao absolutely support this point.

"However, Zhang Jun did not come back with the official family this time. The lower official guessed that he would probably stay in the northwest and preside over the maintenance of the overall situation after the Xia Dynasty. There is no conclusion yet, but it is just what we want. This time, people can fake Zhang Jun. Rebellion will inevitably cause panic among most people in the court."

Qin Hui listened quietly, but asked again: "What does this have to do with killing Yue Fei?"

"Creating tension and suspicion between the imperial court and the frontier army, none of the current frontier army's several strategic envoys can survive alone."

"Okay, you said it very well!" Qin Hui nodded, "You can't start with Yue Fei to kill Yue Fei. Why do you say that Han Shizhong is next?"

"Both Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong are far away from the capital. It is difficult for the imperial court to control them, and they are easy to form separate regimes. They must be tabooed by Your Majesty and the princes of the court."

"Is this what you thought of yourself?"

Lin Yifei immediately said: "The official has been thinking about these issues for a while."

Qin Hui was silent for a while, then sighed, and said: "You think very far, and my cultivation of you is not in vain, but you can't just see these, but also see our enemy in the court today, that Cai Mao every day Staring at us, Li Hui's case is obviously aimed at you, and even more aimed at me, and also Gao Qiu, you must always pay attention, and don't be caught by them again."

"Qin Xianggong's teachings, the lower officials will keep in mind."

When Lin Yifei left the Qin Mansion, no one in the Qin Mansion dared to see him off, and the servants still hid away when they saw him.

When Lin Yifei went out, he seemed to vaguely hear a woman's voice coming from behind, very unfriendly.

On the 12th of the first month of the 28th year of Jingkang, before dawn, the officials had already arrived at the Daqing Hall one after another.

This time, the court did not go to the Chuigong Hall, but to the larger Daqing Hall, for no other reason than because there was an important debate today.

It is related to the livelihood of countless people in the Song Dynasty.

Just like "On Salt and Iron" back then.

The ministers waited respectfully in the hall, and after bringing the official Zhao's family, they saluted. After the ceremony, the hall was brightly lit and solemn.

Zhao Ning sat on it silently, Zhao Ding came out and said to the officials: "Please let the Ministry of Punishment explain the Qingyi She case."

Han Xiaozhou, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, came out and stated the Tsingyi Society case reported by Jingzhao Mansion in a concise language, and then returned it.

Zhu Shengfei, the governor of Quanzhi Kaifeng Prefecture, was on the list, and he also made a statement when he found private loans in Kaifeng Prefecture in recent days.

Zhao Dingcai continued: "Everyone is aware of the Tsingyi Society case, and also knows that there are also secret private loans in Kaifeng Mansion, which bear human lives and even cause fighting. Today's court meeting will mainly discuss private private loans. Should the court completely ban it, or is it effective? dredge."

Zhao Ding's voice fell behind, and the hall fell silent for a short time.

Lin Zongyan, the chief officer of the bank, was the first to come out. He said: "I believe that private lending must never be relaxed. Once the private sector is involved, there will be no restraint in lending. The loopholes in the Tsingyi Society case can be made up no matter what. , It is impossible to eradicate the root cause, which has caused disasters in people's livelihood, which is huge, not only will it not have any effect, but will cause people to panic."

Now that the first person has stood up, the others will naturally not be silent anymore.

"I think that private lending companies can be properly opened to the public, and they only need to strictly follow the registration of the company for control."

It was Liu Gushan, a doctor in the household department who spoke.

He continued: "Since ancient times, there have been private loans among the people, and they will not disappear because of the imperial court's prohibition. Just like Dayu's control of the water, the river has been flowing since ancient times, and the river will not stop flowing because of blockage."

Chapter 1135 Debate on the Finance of the Great Song Dynasty (Second Change)

"So there is a bank to clear it." Wang Zonglin stood up and said, "Lending has always existed, and it can't be blocked. Businesses also need loans, but the court has never completely blocked it."

Liu Gushan's rhetoric of controlling the water was basically rejected by Wang Zong.

Wang Zonglian continued: "The focus of today's discussion is whether to open up lending to the private sector or to prohibit it legally. It is true that private lending cannot be banned since ancient times, but it is absolutely impossible to ignore it."

"What Wang Taiwei said is reasonable, but the lower officials still feel that they have to let go." Liu Gushan continued, "Suppose a family of five has no food to eat because of the bad age, if the folks With legal loans, will this family of five be able to find private loans temporarily to survive, and wait for the next year's grain harvest before repaying the debts?"

"Liu Langzhong, are you here to find fault?" Wang Zonglin asked contemptuously.

"Why did Wang Taiwei make such a statement?"

"Who doesn't know there is a Grameen Bank?" Wang Zonglian said, "If there is such a family of five in trouble, they can go to the Grameen Bank, and it will be solved?"

"What Wang Taiwei said is reasonable, but as we all know, not all places have country banks. The current number of country banks is only in Sijing, Jiangdong and Chengdu. wrong?"

"Then expand more banks, instead of delegating this to the people at will." Wang Zonglian continued.

Obviously, this is not just a policy debate, but also a struggle for court power.

As the manager of Dasong Bank, Wang Zonglian, how could it be possible to distribute power?

But another group of people saw the huge profits of the bank and wanted the court to let go.

As long as the imperial court lets go, officials can privately participate in the profits generated by lending and take a share of the profits through concealed means.

Liu Gushan had nothing to say for a while.

At this time, Wang Boyan, the servant of the household department, came out and said: "What Wang Taiwei said is very true, but there is one problem that cannot be ignored."

"what is the problem?"

When Wang Zonglin saw Wang Boyan came out, his heart tightened.

Wang Boyan is notoriously eloquent and eloquent.

Wang Boyan said: "There are more than 1000 counties in the Song Dynasty alone, not to mention the rural Baojia below the counties, there must be more than tens of thousands. If they all set up rural banks, wouldn't it be necessary to add tens of thousands of officials out of thin air?"

Wang Boyan hit the nail on the head with one sentence.

The number of rural banks, and even local banks, was still concentrated in the economically prosperous places by the 12th year of Jingkang.

For example, in Shaanxi and Southwest China, there are many states and counties that do not have banks, and do not even use banknotes.

To achieve a truly unified national currency cannot be achieved overnight. This was indeed extremely difficult in ancient times, and it was even unrealistic.

The emergence of supervisory officials has added a group of officials to the internal affairs of the Song Dynasty.

The current operation of the administrative bureaucracy is already on the edge of the limit, which is the consensus of the whole court.

Wang Zonglin thought for a while, and still stubbornly said: "That can't be let go."

Wang Boyan continued: "The most heinous thing about the Tsingyi Club is not that they lend money privately, but that they defraud the people and extort money from the people, maliciously raising interest rates. This is what this case has done the most harm to the people. , we should look at this matter reasonably instead of denying it completely."

Without waiting for others to speak, Wang Boyan hurriedly continued: "I remember that the "Logic" written by Your Majesty emphasizes the method of induction."

Wang Zonglian saw that Wang Boyan began to quote scriptures, and knew that this guy must have come prepared today, and if he stood up rashly, he might be ashamed, and this matter will be handed over to Qian Yuqing later.

He glanced at Qian Yuqing and winked at Qian Yuqing, but Qian Yuqing pretended not to see it.

He looked at the white and fat Gao Qi in the crowd again. Captain Gao seems to be dozing off?

"There is a case in the induction method explained in "Logic". We see a black horse grazing, and then say that all horses are black. Is this conclusion correct?"

There was a dead silence in the hall, and no one answered this sentence.

Because everyone knows that once Wang Boyan answered this sentence, he immediately returned to the case of Tsingyi Club.

Lin Yifei stood up and said: "This conclusion is wrong. How could all horses be black? Your Majesty's "Logic" is the most reasonable, and it really helped the ministers to sort out many complicated matters."

"Then we saw a private lending company like Tsing Yishe defrauding ordinary people's money, and then released it at high interest rates, so we said that all private lending companies are defrauding ordinary people's money. Is this conclusion correct?"

After Wang Boyan's series of questions, there was not a single word about Kang Wang, but every word was to wash away the responsibility for Kang Wang.

Words can kill people, kill hearts, and shift the universe.

There was silence in the hall.

After a moment of silence, no one came forward, Lin Yifei said: "I think Wang Shilang is right."

At this time, officials who supported the liberalization of private private lending came forward one after another, saying: "The ministers also think that Wang Shilang's words are justified."

These officials include those from the bank, the six ministries and nine ministers, the Yamen of Kaifeng Prefecture, and the Imperial Academy.

There are also some officials who did not stand up and obviously opposed it.

Of course, none of the chief executives stood up.

"The minister thinks that Wang Shilang's words are reasonable, but they are too one-sided."

A person stood up, and this person was none other than Fan Zhixu who had returned to Beijing with Zhao Guan's family not long ago.

Fan Zhixu has been in the Northwest for 12 years. Even if he doesn't know how to fight, his prestige in the military and government is already very high.

Not to mention that he was already the minister of the Ministry of War during the Chongning period of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, and also served as the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

Fan Zhixu is also famous for his profound knowledge.

His prestige and influence in the Song Dynasty should not be underestimated, whether it is folk scholars or local officials, they all admire him.

This time Fan Zhixu came back with the title of Minister of the Ministry of War and the official position of Hanlin Bachelor.

What kind of official is the Hanlin Bachelor Chengzhi?

Officer of the Academy.
