Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 746 Blossoms and stench

Zhao Huan picked up the red pen on the table and circled Zhao Chengyou's name. Zhao Ying trembled all over and glanced at Li Dazai.

This look is very simple, the official is going to kill someone.

Li Gang immediately understood that the official picked up the pen used for Zhu's beheading, which meant that the official already had the intention to kill.

Zhao Huan took Zongze's letter and said: "Ezhou is located at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Han River. Zong Shaoqing said that Ezhou is located in an important place. It is an important place, extending in all directions, and this water epidemic has spread widely, so we must strictly guard against it.”

Li Gang nodded. Since the Ezhou incident happened, the state capital, which reacted quickly, had already started to block the refugees in the first place.

For example, after the last merchant ship left the pier, Gyeonggi [-]th Road began to be blocked to strictly guard against death, and the reaction speed was the fastest.

Li Gang said with a smile: "It's late autumn now, and caravans from all over the country have left Bianjing. As winter approaches, commerce has become bleak. It's okay to seal it up. The road can still pass, and the transportation of materials is no problem. When the epidemic is over, the people will feel at ease."

He is very fortunate that the water epidemic broke out after late autumn. If it was in midsummer, with frequent trade and more patients, the impact on the business activities of Song Dynasty would be very severe!

He, the Dazai who presides over the business reform, will naturally get a mid-to-low evaluation when the time comes. Sitting in the dazai's position, getting a mid-to-low evaluation is probably equivalent to taking the blame and suing the old man.

Zhao Huan looked at Zongze Zhazi and said with a sigh: "In the Ezhou area, there is a wide shortage of wormwood, Artemisia annua, burnt plant ash and wood, paper wrapped incense, cowhide, eagle mouth mask and the mask I asked Tang Hong to make. "

"Can the national treasury hold it?"

The income of the national treasury has already gone before it has entered, especially when the Song Dynasty was building roads everywhere, the amount of this income was not enough to fill the roads, Zhao Huan was a little worried about the national treasury no money.

"This year, the national treasury will be able to collect about 300 million yuan, and there will probably be more than 4000 million yuan left over, which is more than enough." Li Gang quickly answered this question. In the third year of the commercial reform, tax revenue finally began to increase steadily. And this kind of growth is not a coincidence, but a natural growth.

"So much? Li Dazai did a good job." Zhao Huan nodded. There is money in the national treasury, and there is no need to fill it with internal money. Zhao Huan is already very satisfied.

Li Gang is proud of his achievements. When he was still young, when Cai Jing was appointed as the prime minister, it was not like Li Gang didn't think about it secretly. If he did it by himself, it would definitely be different.

In the end, when he really became the Dazai, Li Gang knew how easy it was to be a Dazai.

Now that he has achieved some minor achievements, he is naturally full of emotion.

"Think that the sword is as bright as snow, unsheathed vertically and horizontally. The arrow flies like rain, and the bow thunders. It shakes the border city, swallows the barbarians with anger, and the northwest wind is bleak and dusty. Zhongxing things, look at the king's martial arts, and control the hero. Naturally, the ministers also have to be silent. Do your best to imitate the wisdom of the Holy One.”

Li Gang responded to the official's praise with a smile, and even wrote a half-query.

Zhao Huan looked at Li Gang, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, the flattery was really fluent, Li Gang lived a life that he hated.

It's no wonder that generals are not welcome. When Zhao Huan was in Shenzhou, Han Shizhong was the only one who could "call out two voices to refresh himself" all the time. Just like this, Han Shizhong was still on guard against himself every day, not allowing himself to command blindly.

The soldiers opened their mouths and shut their mouths, all of which were the vulgar words of Ganbi's mother and Ge Laozi.

When the civil servant opened his mouth, it was full of flowers.

After a wave of business bragging, Zhao Huan picked up a notebook and said, "Last time, I asked you to collect the opinions of the ministers on the water epidemic. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Li Gang showed embarrassment, and after a long time, he sighed and said: "Here is a book written by Zhan Shi of the Ministry of Households, Bachelor Longtu, and Doctor Yinqing Guanglu."

"Oh? Can't you say it clearly?" Zhao Huan asked Zhao Ying to bring over the letter, and curiously opened the letter of the doctor Yinqing Guanglu. After seeing it, he knew why Li Gang was so embarrassed.

The civil official opened his mouth, it was indeed full of flowers, but Zhao Huan could smell a strong stench from the lines in the letter of the doctor Yinqing Guanglu!

"What!" Zhao Huan threw the paper before he finished reading it, and shouted loudly: "Immediately release this person from his official position and send him to Ezhou!"

Li Gang remained silent. Since he brought this letter in front of the official, he naturally did not intend to intercede with the scholar-bureaucrat.

"How many people have this point of view? This year when the Ministry of Officials assesses, everyone will give a comment, tell Zheng Wangzhi, and tell me what I said!" Zhao Huan was still angry, but he soon understood that Li Gang had come up with The purpose of this letter.

Li Gang took out this book, of course not to disgust himself, it must be that the trend among Beijing officials has intensified, and even Li Gang can't control it, and the person Li Gang carefully selected is Li Gang. The monkey looked at the chicken.

Li Gang saw that the official's temper was over, and after he knew the purpose of taking out this book, he took out another book and said: "This is evidence of corruption by this person. Li Ruoshui, the young governor of Kaifeng, has We have received complaints from the common people, and we have found out that this person has been involved in corruption of 310 silver dollars in four years since the first year of Jingkang."

310 million silver dollars, according to the current conversion ratio of Song iron copper coins to silver dollars, rounded up: [-] million!

This crime is indeed worthy of the crime of exile.

As the emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Huan punished his ministers for no reason. That was the beginning of the imperial edict. Since Li Gang wanted to kill chickens, he had already prepared conclusive evidence for his crimes.

"Is this man a donkey? He has 32 concubines? There are even red-haired Sogdians and blond-haired Daqin people?" Zhao Huan asked in surprise after reading the letter.

There are no big ocean horses in his palace yet, and his courtiers are already one step ahead, riding on the big ocean horses first!
"It's a bit too much. He has a son in the main family, and he forced the other side of the house, which is also one of the crimes." Li Gang nodded and said. When he knew about this, his heart was full of horses.

So many people, are you busy?
"Heaven's evil is still forgiven. Self-inflicted, you can't live." Zhao Huan picked up the black pen on the table again, approved Li Gang's letter, dismissed this Beijing official, and even exiled him to Ezhou to support the flood epidemic in Ezhou .

This person put forward a point of view, that is to follow the old example of the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji: kill.

In short, if all the people in Ezhou City were killed, the water epidemic would be solved naturally.

[Daguan three years, spring, Qiongling plague.In May, there was a great epidemic in Jingzhou, and people died without counting.In June, there was a great epidemic in Qufu, Dongchang and Juye.July: Great epidemic in Jianning and Shaowu, August, great epidemic in Wendeng, and the slaughter was ordered, so there is no worry. 】

In order to be worry-free, the entire Qiongzhou, Lingzhou, Jingzhou, Qufu, Dongchang, Juye, Jianning, Shaowu, and Wendeng were killed.

Only then did Zhao Huan know that Zhao Ji not only killed Jiangnan every ten times during the Xuanhe period, but also killed thoroughly from Lingnan to Hebei during the Daguan period.

No wonder Zhao Ji, who has been in power for 26 years, did not have any natural disasters. As a result, more than 100 common people rioted.

Changed to Zhao Huan, Zhao Huan also yelled: "If you die today, you will die, and if you do big plans, you will die. Waiting for death, can the country die?!" After shouting, he rose up.

Can't live anymore, don't rise up, wait to die?
