I am Da Song

Chapter 122 Zhao Gou's hidden danger

It is not difficult for Zhao Huan to deprive Wang Bolong of the command of the old ministry.

The essence of the matter is that he was trapped in the south of the Yellow River, unable to cross the north, so he surrendered.

With the Shenwu right army at his side, Zhao Huan could ensure that he rebelled in the morning and passed on to the capital at night.

So the next step is naturally to disband this army under him.

Zhao Huan instructed Zhang Shuye: "Wang Bolong's subordinate army and the Hebei rebel army are treated equally. They serve as citizens of the Great Song Dynasty and serve in the army. Those who are 23 to [-] years old are selected to join the army, and the rest are placed on Jingji Road."

It is normal to strictly select the elite and eliminate the old and the weak.

But the placement of the remaining personnel is a big problem. According to the standards of the Shenwu Youjun, there are only about 8000 young and strong people of the right age who can be selected.

Zhang Shuye asked: "How do the officials plan to arrange these abolished rebels? If they are centralized, the Privy Council will govern them. If they are dispersed, the Privy Council will hand them over to the right minister."

Zhao Huan thought for a while and said, "There is no reason to farm in the capital's first benevolent place. The Privy Council does not need to hand over these [-] people to the right minister, but directly hand them over to the Kaifeng Mansion, who will arrange them in Tokyo." In the city."

The country is late, and Hebei is still in chaos. Zhao Huan dare not send these rebels home.Who knows what they would do if they were instigated back to their hometown in Hebei.

These people can be regarded as contributing to the country, and it is reasonable to give them a Tokyo household registration.

The Song Dynasty implemented a dual system of urban and rural taxation, and most of the folk corvees were borne by rural people, and the tax burden on people with urban household registration was obviously relatively light.

Zhao Huan's tax reform has already taken shape and is about to be put into the charter, but before that, giving the Hebei rebels a better way out is obviously more able to buy people's hearts.

It is tantamount to the favor of the imperial court, turning them from rural people into residents of the imperial capital.

Zhang Shuye respectfully accepted the order, and then returned to the Privy Council to start working on this matter.

The first thing is to count the weapons and armor, whether it is the swords, guns, swords and halberds seized on the battlefield, or the armor and flags on the soldiers, all must be counted and collected.

Then check the household registration of the soldiers, determine the age of the soldiers, and those of the right age are recruited into the Shenwu Youjun.He moved his family, wife and children from his hometown to Tokyo.

Others were handed over to the Kaifeng government, which allocated residential titles to them and assisted them in building new houses.

The imperial court did not allocate land to these people, because even if Zhao Huan had not started reforms, land was not the most important means of production in the Song Dynasty.

If they wanted to do farming, they could temporarily serve as clients of big landlords and scholar-bureaucrats, plowing fields for wealthy households.The land tax will be borne by the landlord, and the government will not collect land tax from these customers.

But Zhao Huan hopes that these people can engage in business.Tokyo is being rebuilt, and a large number of young and strong laborers are needed to become craftsmen, clean up the ruins, and build houses.

At the same time, in order to restore the vitality of Tokyo, a large number of caravans are needed to transport an endless supply of food and wealth from all directions with tank boats and pack teams.

The prosperity of Tokyo City must be pinned on active industry and commerce. Farming alone, with a team of 4 farmers, cannot provide a prosperous Tokyo.

After arranging the military operations in Hebei, Zhao Huan finally had the energy to deal with internal affairs in this area, especially the transshipment of goods.

As soon as he woke up the next day, Zhao Huan ordered the prime minister and Kaifeng government officials to be summoned to plan the reconstruction of Tokyo.

When eating breakfast, the empress personally brought a bowl of hot porridge to Zhao Huan who was sitting beside her, and said softly: "Officials, should the Empress also attend the national ceremony tomorrow?"

Zhao Huan took a sip of the hot porridge at the right temperature, looked at Zhu Lian upon hearing this, and asked, "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

Zhu Lian spoke softly, and said: "Since the official family returned from Jinying, they have never visited the Empress Dowager and the Great Empress. I can't be filial to this daughter-in-law, for fear that people will say that I am not virtuous or filial."

"Material discussion?" Zhao Huan put down the bowl, and frowned slightly: "Why did the queen hear the material discussion in the inner palace? Has anyone looked for Qing?"

Zhu Lian quickly replied: "Don't think too much about the officials. It's the sixth brother and the fifth sister. They were going to pay their respects to the majesty before, but they were stopped by the Secretary of the Imperial City. They came here to ask for convenience." (Brother and sister are just The title of the ranking in the Song Dynasty, even if it is ranked 42, the title is 42 sister, not 42 sister)
The sixth elder brother is King Jing Zhao Qi, and the fifth elder sister is Zhao Fujin, the emperor of Maode.

Jing Wang Zhao Qi is not a brave prince, Zhao Fujin married Cai Jing's son, and the Cai family has been confiscated by Zhao Huan, and there is no trouble.

These two people did not pose any threat to Zhao Huan's throne.It doesn't look like there is any conspiracy.Zhao Huan then said calmly: "I will issue an imperial edict to the Imperial City Secretary."

Although the content of the edict was not clearly stated, Zhu Lian still understood what Zhao Huan meant.Said softly: "The siege has been going on for a long time, and the family has not seen each other for more than a month. Why don't we go to the Taishang to hold a family banquet tonight, so that everyone can get together."

Zhao Huan was not very interested. As of this year, his cheap father had given birth to 32 sons and 34 daughters, and most of them survived.

With such a large family, it would be troublesome just to deal with it together. It was a waste of time.

Zhu Lian persuaded: "Officials, the Holy Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, so you should go to greet the Empress no matter what."

The power struggle between Taishang and her husband obviously ended with her husband winning.As the daughter-in-law, Zhu Lian had to ease the conflict between the two parties.In order to prevent her husband from getting a reputation like Li Shimin.

At least for now, everything can still be attributed to the tension of the war. The officials were afraid that there would be accidents, so they connected to the palace to protect them with all their strength.But the war has passed, and it would be unreasonable not to go to greet him.

The queen kept persuading her patiently, but Zhao Huan couldn't refute her face, so he said: "All right, I will follow what Qing said, and the family banquet will be arranged by Qing."

The corner of Zhu Lian's mouth raised a faint smile, and said: "I will inform all princes and concubines of this good news later."

"Yes. By the way, ask Kang Wang's mansion, has there been any letter from Kang Wang recently?"

Zhao Huan was very concerned about this issue.Seeing Prime Minister Mei Zhili after the meal, Zhao Huan also asked, "Has there been any news from Generalissimo Kang Wang recently? Do you know where he is now?"

"Reporting to the officials, the siege has just ended for eight days, and some prefectures don't know that the country has repelled the Jinren, and the Grand Marshal has not sent envoys to Beijing to make a statement."

Zhao Huan frowned, and a haze emerged in his heart.

I am afraid that any emperor would not be able to accept this situation. Instead of serving the country loyally, the Generalissimo appointed by himself disappeared silently.

The position of Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses should be the most dangerous position among all positions in human history.Those who occupy this position will either further kill the emperor and become emperor himself.Either be eradicated by the emperor, leaving no trouble.There is hardly a third way to go.
