Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 854 "Ji Ji Kao"

"Officials, don't be angry, listen to me slowly." Zong Ze put the incense in his hand into the incense burner and asked with a smile.

Zhao Huan waited for Zong Ze to pay homage to the soldiers and doctors who died in the war before he walked to the small pavilion on the side of the mountain.

"The officials, the county magistrates and some officials left behind by the minister, in the view of the minister, they are innocent." Zong Ze said with a smile.

Zhao Huan looked at Zong Ze suspiciously and said with a little haste: "They didn't participate in the human trade, but just sat and watched the price of pasture land soar. Isn't this considered dereliction of duty? Even if the grain in Changping warehouse is They are locked up, and they refuse to release grain relief to stabilize grain prices. They are not dereliction of duty and connivance of grain merchants to drive up grain prices, what is it? Why are they innocent!"

"They don't have food to store, because there is no food in the Changping warehouse." Zong Ze answered Zhao Huan quietly.

This made Zhao Huan couldn't help but think of the fire in Changping warehouse on Hedong Road, and today he heard about it again from the envoys of Jinghu two roads.

"Where's the food?" Zhao Huan asked subconsciously.

Zongze said with a sigh: "There has been no grain in these Changping granaries for many years, and they have been sold out during the Daguan period. Not to mention the shortfall. The Changping warehouse on Jinghu South Road has no grain at all, and they can only sit and watch the price of grain soaring. Officials and ministers, if they are magistrates, are also difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice."

"If Hetao hadn't transported 20 shi of rice noodles to Jinghu Lake, Jinghu Lake would still be in chaos, the price of grain would still be high, and the people would be in dire straits. Speaking of which, it was the impromptu intention of the government. , the spring plowing will be delayed, and it will be even more troublesome.”

Zhao Huan just nodded, Zong Ze's reason was very good, he thought for a while and said: "Then, Yu Wenxu's position as doctor censor cannot be kept. As doctor censor, he supervises all officials. Since Mr. Zong wants to protect the county affairs, Mr. Yuwen will not be able to protect Mr. Yuwen’s doctor.”

Someone must be responsible for the lack of food in Ezhou's granary. Yu Wenxu has been in Yanjing for a long time, busy with reverse osmosis and building Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures. Wherever he has time, he can take care of the supervisory officials, so he simply puts some burden on Yu Wenxu.

"Officials, the key is how to solve the shortfall of the Changping warehouse, which has been repeatedly stolen and sold. Before entering Beijing, I wrote such a letter. The official has a look." Zongze took out a letter from his sleeve .

After Zhao Huan read it thoroughly, he couldn't help nodding his head again and again, and said, "Good policy, good policy! After tomorrow's court meeting, we will implement it."

Zongze's letter is actually very simple. The Imperial City Division sent personal officials to follow the officials of the economic and strategic envoys from all walks of life in the Song Dynasty to find out the specific situation of the Changping warehouse and report the grain in Changping in detail.

It's empty, and we can only let the past go.

Because Zong Ze knew that in order to make money for the Supreme Emperor, most of the Changping warehouses in the Song Dynasty were empty during the Daguan and Xuanhe years.

This point, Zhao Huan is also very clear, now this group of economic envoys have changed, so they can only let the past go, or buy Gen Yue Palace to make up for the shortfall.

It's a pity that Zhao Huan dared to sell it, but no one in Song Dynasty dared to buy it.

After replenishing the grain in the Changping warehouse, Zong Ze proposed a special regulation of supervising food safety in the "Jingji Kao" to supplement the "Song Xingtong" regulations of the Song Dynasty.

Jing: Jinglueshi; Ji: Gushen, food; Kao: Kaoxiao.

The core of "Jingji Kao" is the three-year one-time test, five-year one-year test, before the transfer, and after taking office, the storage of the Changping warehouse must be tested, and this grain storage is linked to the economic strategy. All problems are the responsibility of the economic envoy himself.

Zhao Huan beckoned to Zhao Ying who was standing in the distance, told him to come over, and said to him, "I wish I could sell the Genyue Palace and make up for the money. Come here, Zhao Ying, and prepare some 2000 million yuan. To 3000 million silver dollars, I need to make up a shortfall recently."

"Yes." Zhao Ying didn't know what the officials wanted to use the money for, but the internal money was indeed from the officials, so Zhao Ying withdrew after speaking.

The bead in Zong Ze's hand stopped, and he said, "Does Zhao know that he hates the officials?"

When he was offering incense just now, he saw that Zhao Ying was not in the right position. Now that Zhao Ying had retreated, he naturally knew that something might have happened.

Zhao Huan nodded, explaining Wang Qi's matter clearly, Zhao Ying insisted on killing the chicken for the monkey to see, but Zhao Huan didn't agree, and these two days have been a bit quarrelsome.

Zong Ze thought for a long time before saying: "Officials, kill Wang Qi."

Ok?
Zhao Huan looked at Zong Ze, who had gray temples and looked a little kind, and had a lot of question marks in his heart. Is this the Zong Ze he knew, who was surrounded by shrines for living people on Jinghu Road, Hebei Province?
"He's disloyal. You can't kill him." Zong Ze gave the officials a reason to kill Wang Qi.

Zhao Huan shook his head and said, "Wang Qi is conscientious and conscientious. He devoted himself to the Northern Expedition and did his best. If there is no credit, there will be hard work."

Zongze looked at the official house, and then saw the green forest under Zhonghun Mountain, and the endless stream of worshipers passing through the forest of steles. He couldn't help but said with some emotion: "The official house, Zhong Shaobao said that there was an official house in the Song Dynasty. , It is the great fortune of the Song Dynasty, this statement is very clear. The officials are benevolent, Chen Luoqi is in the ordinary alleys, and orchestras are played in several buildings. The world is peaceful and the first event is the day, and the ducks and flowers are sleeping forever."

"This is the grand scene of the Song Dynasty. The world is peaceful, the people are happy, and the ruler is upright and the ministers are good. But have the officials thought about it? If this person is alive, if this matter is known by others, it will disrupt the order. Loyalty is the responsibility of the courtiers." Duty, if you can't even do this, what kind of courtier?"

"Thousands of loyal people in the Great Song Dynasty are chilling, merit is merit, and faults are faults. The unforeseen method known by Zhao Du actually gave Wang Qi face."

Zhao Huan thought for a long time, savoring Zong Ze's words carefully, and asked: "But if I instruct Zhao Ying to do such an unexpected thing, wouldn't it be a shame for the ambitious people who serve the country with fists?"

"Li Xiang has always advised me to be more ruthless, but if I am ruthless here, the Great Song Dynasty will be [-]% ruthless, and the Great Song Dynasty will be [-]% ruthless. At that time, everyone will be in danger, isn't it dangerous? "

Zong Ze looked at the official family who was in his prime, he was so confused, his face was full of smiles, before Zhao Huan came to the throne, he actually had very low expectations for the emperor of the Song Dynasty, in fact, the courtiers of the Song Dynasty had very low expectations for the emperor. very high.

But the officials greatly exceeded their expectations.

Zong Ze said with a smile: "Officials, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, trustworthiness, loyalty, filial piety, fraternity, integrity, forgiveness, courage, and surrender are the order of the Song Dynasty. Any order that is broken will endanger our Song Dynasty." fundamental."

"Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king. This is not a punishment, and the things the officials expected will not happen."
