Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms
Chapter 601: Harming the world and enriching oneself
【It can be said that Wanyan Gou, a famous general of the Jin Dynasty, spent a very comfortable old age in the Southern Song Dynasty.
The poet Zhou Mi wrote a poem in "Qidong Yeyu": The name of De Shou's book is full of shops, and one man is still taxed 3,000. No need to ask about lanterns and brocade, the flags of the palace are inserted into the dung boat.
It also describes in detail the grand scene of Zhao Gou's business: At that time, De Shou Palace built a corridor in the market, and the manager did not know the matter. All the doors were inscribed with the word De Shou Palace, even the toilets in the alleys.
It can be said that as long as Zhao Gou was alive, every toilet in Lin'an City had to be inscribed with the name of De Shou Palace.
From our current perspective, Zhao Gou actually became the CEO of De Shou Palace Development Group after his abdication. The industry integrates brewing, selling dung, and real estate development, covering a wide range.
Later, a censor named Yuan Fu reported to Song Xiaozong, saying that "private wine is sold in the north", hoping that Zhao Gou would not trample on Song laws.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Gou directly gave Song Xiaozong a bottle of wine with the words "De Shou Private Wine" written on it. Song Xiaozong described his feelings at the time as "feeling helpless".
In the end, the matter ended hastily with Yuan Fu "requesting to be sent out", and Song Xiaozong issued an additional order requiring the Liangzhe Transportation Bureau to supply 5,000 stones of glutinous rice to De Shou Palace every year for the emperor to make wine.
Wanyan Gou's comfortable life can be seen from this.
This situation is something that Li Yuan would cry if he knew about:
No one told me that the emperor's life can be so comfortable.
Looking at history, the only one who can compete with Wanyan Gou, a famous general of the Jin Dynasty, is Ming Baozong, but Ming Baozong can reach this height more because of the harm he caused.
In terms of the degree of badness of being a person, Baozong is still a long way behind Wanyan Gou.
Morality cannot restrain him, responsibility cannot limit him, emotions cannot restrain him, and reputation will not become his shackles. It can be said that in terms of selfishness, there has been no one who can surpass him since ancient times.
But as a price, loyal ministers, good generals, righteous armies, Emperor Xiaozong, the Song Dynasty, etc., as long as they were related to Zhao Gou, basically all suffered bad luck.
Therefore, during the period when the emperor of Jin was the regent, Xin Qiji's life was destined to be difficult.
Oh, by the way, the reason why the Song people despised the dung boat was also because of a record in "Zizhi Tongjian".
It is said that Li Zhi, who was also Emperor Gaozong, had heard the suggestion of Pei Feishu, the supervisor of the Shaofu, that the horse manure in the imperial garden could be sold for 200,000 strings of cash every year.
Li Zhi was very tempted, but was finally blocked by Liu Rengui's words "I am afraid that future generations will say that the Tang family sells horse manure".
This incident recorded by Sima Guang came from "Chaoye Qianzai", which was written by Zhang Yu and collected anecdotes from the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Regardless of its authenticity, this attitude is actually quite a pity.
The perfect treatment of urban sewage in ancient China is one of our advantages, but because of the taboo, there are loopholes in management.
They asked the rich to pay for sewage treatment, and then asked the poor to pay for reselling fertilizer. This gave rise to the dung tyrants, which continued to cause trouble for thousands of years during the Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing and Republic of China periods. It was not until the founding of our country that they were executed... No, solved. 】
It was difficult for Empress Ma to rest on the bed while watching the screen.
She was familiar with the history of the Song Dynasty, and she had cited the negative example of Emperor Gaozong of Song more than once in the hope that Chongba would work hard to govern the country.
But... what is Ming Baozong?
Is there a Bao posthumous title in the "Posthumous Title Law"?
Empress Ma was a little confused.
The remnants of the Yuan Dynasty have not been wiped out yet, so how could there be a Ming emperor with the posthumous title of Bao?
And it is said that his stupidity is similar to that of Emperor Gaozong of Song... It can't be Chongba, right?
Although she didn't know what was wrong with the word Bao, Empress Ma was determined not to believe that her husband could be half similar to Emperor Gaozong of Song.
He drove out the Hu Yuan and restored the Han Dynasty. Since entering Yingtian Prefecture, he has been studying non-stop and has been serious and diligent in handling affairs in the court.
This is her husband, the man she personally chose, how could he be the kind of person who would harm the world and benefit himself?
She couldn't help getting out of bed, and she didn't even bother to comb her hair, and walked back and forth in front of the screen twice.
Even if we ignore the foolish emperor Baozong for the time being, she heard clearly what the light curtain said about "Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing".
It is a well-known fact that the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Song and Jin Dynasties.
She personally participated in the founding of the Ming Dynasty by Chongba.
And now, the Ming Dynasty, which has only been stable for a short time, is destined to be replaced by the Qing Dynasty? And what is the meaning of the Republic of China? What is the name of the founding of the country mentioned by this voice?
Besides, according to the words, the founding of the country from the Song Dynasty to the person who said this voice was only a thousand years, the Song and Yuan Dynasties had lasted for four hundred years, and the Ming and Qing Dynasties plus the Republic of China and the voice belonged to a total of six hundred years?
Several thoughts and guesses collided and rolled in her mind. She felt that the most tricky questions asked by the teacher when she was studying, the predicament when Hezhou was isolated, the desperate situation when she was besieged by Chen Youliang's strong army in Jiangning City, etc., when added together, were not as confusing as now.
But... maybe it's fake? After all, the prophecies and divinations that the alchemists moved were not rare things. Those who said Chen Tianming were like the magicians who could predict a hundred years. Fearing that fooling the people was also a common trick.
But she also knew that the prophecies of those treacherous sorcerers who said Chen Tianming were basically vague and pretentious, and there had never been such a clear and natural statement.
After walking back and forth a few times, she finally made up her mind. She called the maid over through the gate of Kunning Palace and whispered:
"You go and watch. After His Majesty and the officials have finished drinking, please come over."
"If the emperor asks anything..."
"Just say this."
Hearing the maid's response and the footsteps fading away, she also supported her forehead and reached out her hand involuntarily when she came to the light curtain again.
It was like a stone falling into a pond, and ripples appeared from where her hand touched.
Continuing to explore forward, I encountered the texture of the brocade surface, which was a screen.
After closing her hand and watching the ripples calm down, Empress Ma finally stopped hesitating, hurriedly found a pen and paper, and wrote down the few disturbing words that Guang Mu had just said, and also wrote down all kinds of speculations on the paper.
…
Li Shimin curled his lips, tried to shift his attention away from the Emperor's sigh of relief, and made a disdainful comment:
"Since it is an anecdote, it is deemed false."
"So what if the Tang family sells horse dung?"
But I also added something in my mind, just find someone to cover it up and handle it, so what's the difficulty?
Since last year, taking advantage of the stable time without disasters throughout the year, he has simply issued several decrees related to money and taxes.
The money grabbers who were criticized by later generations as official loan sharks were abandoned, and several industries such as sugar, paper, and glass were established.
These are just the general directions. The formulation of detailed regulations and the appointment and dismissal of relevant officials took a lot of effort from him and several ministers.
And he also knows that if these industrial workshops are further subdivided, there will inevitably be a more detailed reward and punishment system, but he does not need to worry about these for the time being.
Judging from the current market revenue this year, Zhenguan's wealth is much better than that of the Wude years. Maybe he can speed up the management of the Western Region in the future.
What Changsun Wuji said in the previous chat was the most reasonable. When the method of snow sugar needs to be unknown to India and the West, all of it will be lost to the Western Regions in exchange for wealth.
Therefore, Li Shimin currently only feels that there is one more way to generate revenue.
