Zhao Gou proposed a total of four decrees.

First, comprehensively count the inflow of funds from the Ministry of Commerce, count and verify the investment details of all officials, and immediately transmit the latest records.

Second, the top managers of the Ministry of Commerce were replaced, and at the same time, the top managers of Shaoxing Manufacturing and Longxing Manufacturing were also replaced with designated civil servants for rotation.

Third, restrict the development of new industrial zones and further restrict the injection of private capital.

Fourth, cancel some investment promotion incentives and increase land prices in new industrial zones.

The requirements here are more ruthless than the other.

He made up his mind to take away all the dividends of this joint venture industrial zone, and prevent those with vested interests from getting involved in any of its affairs.

And if the big liquidation officially starts, it is obvious that it is just to count the funds and bills, but in fact it will be to check the corruption of each family property.

Things have come to this point, it can no longer be regarded as corruption and bribery.

It is to seek wealth with power.

At that time, not only the Minister of Commerce and the Minister of the Ministry of Commerce were present, but also six or seven other ministers of the first and second grades, and only one of them was not from the Mingqiu Poetry Club.

Tang Situi wrote a secret message almost immediately, and then Yun Qi got the news.

When Zhao Gou talked about these things, he didn't give them any affection, nor did he explicitly point out anything.

Although he knows nothing about business and industry, it can be said that he has been an emperor for decades.

If he pointed it out and said how much he knew, it would be tantamount to exposing how much he didn't know.

Zhao Gou only left a mysterious back, trying to further arouse the panic of these courtiers.

And it did work.

That night, all the core stakeholders were present, and many people in Jiangyin City went to the manor secretly purchased by Mingqiu Poetry Society.

To the outside world, this manor is a place where Jiang Fu rewards his concubines to watch fish and birds, but the restrictions on entry and exit are extremely strict, and all servants and servants have undergone extremely strict selection and training.

In this manor, there are not only ivory carvings, gold and jade pillows, but also TVs, computers, and lights.

Zhang Zhiye paced back and forth in front of the people, cursed in dialect, and started smoking again without saying a word.

Lu You raised his hand to rest his forehead, feeling a little headache.

He didn't expect Zhao Gou to adopt such a drastic method as soon as he came up, which is actually not beneficial at all——

Today's Lu You has learned a lot of modern knowledge after contacting Zhang Hu and others, and also vaguely knows why these Linguo people are so miraculous.

More and more eye-openers are realizing that these people are modern people from thousands of years later, but no one will take the initiative to speak out about this.

One of the differences between ancient and modern times is the ability and influence of businessmen.

In ancient times, merchants were small merchants, hawkers who bought and sold fish, shrimp and fruits, and most of them were exposed to handicrafts such as porcelain.

However, in modern business, any ups and downs are linked to the livelihoods of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, and assets worth tens of millions or even tens of billions.

The gap between them is like ants and comets.

Before the emergence of Linguo, merchants in the Song Dynasty were still operating individually. There were no workshops, let alone handicraft workshops. The leaders of the group of merchants did not understand the concept of collective management.

All of this is Zhao Gou's only cognition.

However, a modern business is the leader of a factory with tens of thousands of people. If it becomes a group from a company, its influence will even make a government afraid of it.

What's more, this is a new force that has a monopoly nature and has exhausted all resources in just a few years to expand desperately after the time-space mutation occurred.

This means stronger market monopoly capabilities and more abnormal capital attraction capabilities.

Hu and Zhang joined forces with Yunqi, and then took Yunqi as an opportunity to open up a joint venture with the Ministry of Commerce, and finally they were able to talk to the entire central courtiers of the Song court, and they were constantly pulling more and more people into the water.

Zhao Gou stabbed down suddenly, thinking that everything was perfect, but he didn't know that the blood spurted out could drown himself.

"There's nothing to say, the monarchy itself is ridiculous enough." Hu Pingyu dusted off the cigarette ash and said indifferently: "You guys come up with a speaker and replace it."

What she said was so light that it gave Song officials a sense of unreal absurdity.

"You—you mean—" Tang Situi said in shock, "This is—"

"But what, is it a big treason?" Hu Pingyu lowered his head and took a sip, and the glazed stone earrings shook slightly with the movement: "It's okay if you don't want to change it, then don't talk about it."

"That's the emperor," said the military official next to him tremblingly, "This is a crime against the nine clans!"

"Zhu Jiu Clan?" Zhang Zhiye was busy on the phone with his subordinates, but when he heard these three words, he laughed out loud, said a few words in a hurry, hung up the phone, turned around and sat next to these Song officials: "Then Leaving aside the question of whether the emperor is an emperor or not, let me ask you a few questions."

"There are no heavenly dragons and gods in this world, you all already understand."

A few people nodded slightly.

"Whether the emperor is not the emperor, they are all looking for auspicious slogans to establish themselves as emperors. It's the same if you sit on it, understand?" Zhang Zhiye borrowed Hu Pingyu's fire and glanced at Yun Qi: "Come on one?"

The woman was still drinking tea calmly beside her, shaking her head slightly.

"Presumptuous!" Jiang Fu's voice was trembling when he spoke, but he stood up calmly and reprimanded him: "Don't you all know the fate of Miao Liu's mutiny!"

Forty years ago, in the third year of Jianyan, Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan took advantage of Zhao Gou to flee Yangzhou, and directly killed many powerful ministers and officials whom he favored. The emperor abdicated the throne to the crown prince Zhao Tan, who was only three years old at the time.

Zhao Gou was discouraged at the time, and abdicated to the crown prince without much discussion of the conditions. The next day the queen mother began to listen to politics behind the curtain.

However, because Miao and Liu did not take further measures during the mutiny, generals from all over the country were killed, and the two were finally executed in public for making trouble in Jiankang.

It is also because of this that Zhao Gou's fear of military generals has further deepened, and he began to frequently dispatch generals to achieve the effect of "soldiers do not know generals, and generals do not know soldiers".

This mutiny not only caused the young crown prince to fall ill when he was in exile, and died not long after, even Zhao Gou could no longer be employed. If it weren't for the box of medicine sent by General Qian, Now I am afraid that the Zen position has long been given to the stepson who has no direct blood relationship.

Zhang Zhiye rolled his eyes after listening patiently, rolled up his shirt sleeves, stroked the circle of beard on his chin, and said in a deep voice, "Then I'll tell a story too."

Once upon a time there was a king who hid treasures in many chambers but was unable to keep them himself.

The king arranged for some officials to be in charge of the guards, and the guards were to guard the secret door.

And what the key that can really open the treasure looks like, only the king and the craftsman know.

So -- who do these treasures belong to?

This treasure came from the people, was collected by the emperor, sealed by the craftsmen, and guarded by the soldiers.

Once the officials bribe the artisans, or the guards threaten the artisans, the entire circulation chain will collapse directly.

So, what is the essence of power?

"It's a contract."

The person who answered suddenly stood up.

The others took a closer look and found that it was Lu You who had been silent for the past few years.

Zhang Zhiye raised his head slightly, and did not comment on the answer, but asked instead: "Why?"

"Among these characters, the king should be the one who controls the most people, because he seems to control the most people, so it seems that he should have this treasure." Lu You stared at him, and continued: "And if the craftsman or Officials control more people, so although their identities remain the same, they are actually playing the role of kings, not in name but in actual form.”

Zhang Zhiye pushed down his black-rimmed glasses, raised his eyebrows and said, "You seem to have read a lot."

"This is why you tried your best to make the Ministry of Commerce sell national debt to all frontier generals and other officials, and even use national debt to pay for their salaries." Lu You stared at them and said, "In this way, even if they don't understand any science or modern thinking, they can You will all be dragged into the water."

National debt is related to assets, national taxation rights, the Ministry of Commerce, and the prosperity of industrial zones.

If the industrial zone goes bankrupt and the Ministry of Commerce's capital chain breaks, the only tax revenue in the past will not be able to pay off the debts of Song State to neighboring countries, and it will not be able to resist the large trade deficit caused by commercial taxes, let alone honor the so-called national debt.

The mortgaged tax collection rights will eventually fall into the hands of the bankers who control the market.

This is the whole game of chess.

In just a few years, relying on man-made conspiracy, some people have achieved their wish.

The reason why they won was not only because of the crushing of capital, but also because of the absolutely oppressive information gap.

If you don't read, you may not even be able to see where you died.

"What do you mean?" The person next to him asked in amazement: "Now even those generals have claimed a large share of the national debt?"

"And the credit of the government is still falling." Hu Pingyu lit another cigarette, and smiled playfully: "Why are you all confused, is it because the Four Books and Five Classics don't work?"

The Ministry of Commerce and the ministers who came from the Shumen of the Privy Council have blank expressions on their faces, apparently unaware that the entire Ministry of Commerce has become the heart of the entire Song Dynasty.

Not many of them can keep up with the thinking of these modern people like Lu You, and understand what happened.

In the past few years, the people of Jiangyin Chamber of Commerce have controlled the company and the Ministry of Commerce through Yunqi, and have continuously promoted the implementation of the company's equity and national debt.

Although the revival of the Tang Dynasty has only opened the eyes of a small group of people, and the industrial development of the entire Southern Song Dynasty is limited to the three prefectures of Hexuan and Changzhou, but this is enough.

The output value of the entire Hexuan and Changzhou states was already equivalent to the tax collected by the imperial court in the first year, and expanded at a geometric rate in the second year.

In the beginning, only one state had a factory area, but now the industrial areas in the three states are constantly expanding their land, and all fools know that it is time to increase the land price to enrich the national treasury.

If Zhao Gou is overthrown, the shackles that keep them confined to Hexuanchang and Changzhou can be removed, and the industrial revolution and technological revolution that drives the whole country can be started.

This will be... the most colorful scene in history.

Yun Qi quietly finished drinking a bowl of tea before opening his mouth: "Don't forget, how your great ancestor Zhao Kuangyin started his business."

As soon as this offensive and taboo full name was pronounced, the atmosphere reached freezing point.

Zhao Kuangyin defected to Guo Wei when Emperor Yin of the Later Han Dynasty was established, and was gradually promoted to inspect the front of the palace after the establishment of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and was in charge of the Forbidden Army in front of the palace.

After Emperor Gong of Zhou came to the throne, Zhao Kuangyin was "accepted" as emperor because of the Chenqiao mutiny. After Emperor Gong returned to Beijing, he was forced to abdicate, and finally ascended the throne and changed his name to Yuan, and the name of the country was Song.

The Son of Heaven whom you loyally follow is, to put it bluntly, just a traitor.

When Guo Yun heard these words, the entire face of Guo Yun changed.

He rubbed his hands quite uneasily, and said dully: "But now if this... happens again, who should be established as the emperor?"

"Who will be established as the emperor?" Hu Pingyu laughed out loud, and repeated again as if unbelievable: "Who should be established as the emperor?"

"You guys have been kneeling for too long," she shook her head, with a hint of pity in her eyes.

"Remember, how to stand up?"
