The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1741 Rectify Su Yiwei

Zhao Xu stayed in Qixia Temple in Jinling for another three months before recovering his body, which was almost half a year as expected.

It's late spring and March, the south of the Yangtze River is full of grass, peanut trees, and warblers flying around. It's a beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, but Zhao Xu doesn't want to stay here any longer. Letters from home come one after another , Let Zhao Xu go back quickly, Zhao Xu also felt that he wasted too long here, and even the best scenery was boring.

Zhao Xu will go back when he is in better health. Of course, he will go back by boat, which is the fastest way. Zhao Xu is looking at the north from the bow of the boat.

"By the way, everything about Jinling has been dealt with. By the way, I haven't asked about it for such a long time, especially how to deal with those weapons. They are incomparable with the weapons used by our Song army now, and they cannot Just ignore it?"

There are so many weapons found in the grottoes, and there are quite a few of them. Compared with the weapons used by the Song Dynasty army now, these weapons are too far behind, that is to say, they are very backward, and the Song Dynasty does not need these backward weapons.

The Song army doesn't need it, and it must be handled carefully, otherwise it will be really troublesome if it falls into the hands of confident people.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, those weapons have been melted down by His Majesty's order, and a large part of them have been turned into agricultural tools and distributed to the common people for free. This has already consumed nearly [-]% of them, and the rest is in the government. It’s useless to get it.”

Zhao Kuangyin's move is not bad. It is a wise move to remake these weapons into agricultural tools and distribute them to the people. This can also benefit the people. You must know that the imperial court strictly controls iron, and the salt and iron monopoly is in the imperial court. This has appeared since the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty also implemented such a policy, and the control of iron was very strict.

"That's good. It's a more appropriate way for the court. By the way, where did the iron tools for making weapons come from? You haven't investigated this point. It's impossible for so many iron tools to come out of thin air. There are so many of them. It’s not something that can be assembled all at once, and iron is still in the hands of the government, needless to say.”

"The subordinates didn't care about this point. The higher-ups didn't have a clear opinion on how to deal with it. Recently, our task is mainly to protect His Highness, and everything else is out of our concern."

Liu Qinhu is eloquent, and what they said is also reasonable. Zhao Kuangyin's imperial decree is very clear, that is, you two should not do anything recently, as long as you protect the safety of the crown prince, don't ask about other things, even if the sky falls. Don't worry about it, protecting the crown prince is a great achievement.

"Well, it's embarrassing for you to think so much. You are still not a political talent, and you can't charge into the battle. It seems that you can only be in charge of Suyiwei."

Zhao Xu regretted that the two of them couldn't do much. They were not expected to be generals, let alone ministers who governed the country. So for so many years, the two of them had only been in charge, and their official positions were not high.

But the two of them were indeed inferior officials, and no one dared to underestimate the two of them. At this moment, they were not too surprised when they heard Zhao Xu say it himself, but were very happy.

"Actually, I am very satisfied. It is our greatest honor to be with His Highness. We know how much we are worth. We just want to do what we can for His Highness." Dong Zhenhai is not flattering, he knows With my character and ability, if I go to the officialdom to be an official, I don't know how I will die.

If you go to battle to be a general, you are not good at strategizing, and you don't have military talent, you will definitely bring unexpected losses to the country, so they have been firmly by Zhao Xu's side, wanting wind to win wind, and rain to rain , which is stronger than anything.

The first-rank and second-rank officials in the dynasty were very polite when they saw their brothers, which was nothing better than anything else. Zhao Xu said that the two of them could only be in charge of Suyiwei, which was actually the greatest trust in them. .

"Okay, you two, don't be sour here. I still trust you. I will continue to work faithfully in the future. I will not treat you badly. You have followed me for more than ten years. Although we are monarchs and ministers, we are actually more Many are brothers, I will never let you down."

This is equivalent to what Zhao Xu has done. In fact, the relationship between them is really extraordinary. The two of them, Dong Zhenhai and Liu Qinhu, can achieve what they are today, all thanks to Zhao Xu, and Jin Yiwei, who was at the same time as them, also Only the two of them are now enjoying a bright future, and many of their partners don't know where they are now.

More importantly, the two of them are not only famous now, but they will definitely be famous in the history books in the future. They are reckless, but they have a heart.

"My brother and son swear to follow His Highness to the death. If you violate this oath, you will die." Liu Qinhu and Dong Zhenhai knelt on the deck and swore to the sky. This was the second time they had sworn in front of Zhao Xu.

"Okay, get up, remember that as long as you take care of Suyiwei in the future, what has become of Suyiwei over the years, now your task is to organize Suyiwei from top to bottom, Find any inappropriateness and rectify it."

Zhao Xu was about to tidy up Su Yiwei on the boat, and came up with a plan for tidying up. Zhao Xu hadn't been idle for a while while recovering from his injuries. He had been thinking about it and made a random plan.

He had this idea because in the case of Jinling, Yu Suyiwei betrayed his belief and joined the hostile forces. No wonder sometimes the news leaks so quickly, the betrayal of Suyiwei is the most dangerous , because you don't know Su Yiwei's level, and you don't know how much he knows, so Zhao Xu decided to carry out a large-scale cleanup among Su Yiwei.

In fact, thanks to the cleanup of the Suyiwei this time, a huge hidden danger was removed for Da Song. Countless Suyiwei were found out, and they used their powers to do things that violated the law. The rectification of Su Yiwei wiped out about 5000 people at once. It is conceivable how many of these people will betray Su Yiwei for profit.

It also guarantees Su Yiwei's loyalty to the royal family and the emperor in the next ten years. These all benefit from Zhao Xu's plan to rectify Su Yiwei. In fact, the punishment is only part of it, and it is more of a thought Education, let them strengthen the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and re-drawn part of the training plan, which is also the standard for Su Yiwei in the future.

At this time, Zhao Xu announced the plan to tidy up the Suyiwei on the ship, and there were naturally reliable people to implement it. Zhao Kuangyin only used the Suyiwei. The real boss of the Suyiwei was actually Zhao Xu. It was also an important reason why Prince Zhao Xu's position was so stable.
