Chapter 930 is open
The consequences of the chaos and over-issuance of currency values are obvious, not only leading to inflation and soaring prices, but also to the prosperity of the black market, the difficulty of trade in goods, and ultimately the loss of government credit and the collapse of the economy. At the same time, due to the inconsistency of the currency circulating in the market, it will also lead to statistical difficulties.
Therefore, Zhao Yu began to suspect that the remarks and data about the economic prosperity and economic development of the Great Song Dynasty in the history books were blown out, because their data were all obtained on the basis of coins, and only the devil knew whether they used copper coins, iron coins, or paper money. And iron money or copper money, money or paper money, is very different from each other, more than ten times. Fold two, fold three, fold five, fold ten, the face value and the actual value are very different, and they are different from place to place.
At the same time, the fineness of copper coins continues to decrease, and the depreciation of paper money is accelerating, and the difference between the actual situation in the early and late periods is huge, which can reach hundreds or thousands of times. The consequence is that the price of goods in the Song Dynasty is difficult to determine, in the early days of the Song Dynasty, it may be nominally equivalent to three copper coins with more color, but few fools will exchange silver for copper coins, and the later battlefield was defeated again and again, and the paper money also depreciated year by year, and it was hyperinflation, like waste paper, and exchanging paper money for silver was almost equivalent to robbery.
"Chen Shangshu of the Ministry of Zhaohu and Zhuang Shilin, the director of the Total Division, are here!" Zhao Yu walked around the imperial garden, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter could not be delayed any longer, at least he had to have a score first, and he had to come up with a countermeasure before further discussion.
"Official, it's unitary time now, and the palace gate has been closed, so let's let them enter the palace tomorrow to meet you!" Wang De was a little embarrassed.
"It's too much trouble to live in the palace, so I'd better move to martial arts tomorrow!" Zhao Hao replied with a frown.
With the move into the new palace, the defense of the palace ban has also become tighter. The guards of Lin'an City are all served by the imperial guards, and each brigade takes turns to guard each gate on weekdays. The inner castle was defended by the Guards Brigade, and the defense of Miyagi was defended by three regiments with a battalion of troops, and served as the honor guard of the court. However, they were confined to the inner and outer palaces of the palace walls and the outer courts, and the horse roads and corner towers above the palace walls were arranged with guard posts, and there were soldiers patrolling back and forth.
In addition to guarding the palace gate on weekdays, there are also guards standing outside the harem, so that the inner palace can be summoned or the emperor escorts when he goes to court and travels. There can be no normal men in the harem except for Zhao Yu. Therefore, the protection of the harem can only be performed by the chamberlains, who not only have to be on duty in the halls, but also patrol the palace, but according to the rules, the chamberlains are not allowed to use weapons such as knives and guns, and each person is only issued with a short stick with a copper hoop.
After the closing time, after the gates of the outer city are locked, the key is handed over to the Imperial Protector Commander's Office, which is held by the main and deputy commanders on duty, and the night gate must be opened with a decree issued by the palace, otherwise no one will open it. The keys to the inner city and the palace city and the harem are handed over to the management of the Inner Servant Province after the door is closed, and generally Zhao Yu is in charge of Wang De when he is in the palace, and he is not in the hands of the Empress Dowager of Cining Palace. There must also be a warrant to open the palace door at night, and the other half left by the officer on duty can be opened in conjunction with the other half.
Every night, the palace gate is closed, and the protective force in the harem is only those chamberlains and palace maids, and the protective power can also be imagined, so the palace door cannot be opened unless there is a very urgent thing after the door is closed at night. This naturally made Zhao Hao feel very inconvenient, if he wanted to talk to a minister at night, he had to go through several checkpoints, if the relevant people were on duty in the palace, if they couldn't catch up with the duty, they had to open a few doors in a row. In this way, it is not as convenient as when I was in Qiongzhou, so I thought that it would be easier to move to Wuxue to facilitate deliberations, and it would be much more convenient to find someone.
"Official, martial arts is not a place to live for a long time after all, and it does not conform to the rules!" Wang De heard the little emperor's muttering and said with a smile.
"Alas, handing over the safety of this harem to you people, I always feel a chill on the back of my neck, not to mention breaking into an assassin with excellent martial arts, even a strong man is afraid that you can't stop it!" Zhao Yu patted Wang De's growing belly and sighed.
"The official family laughed, although the little one is fatter, his hands and feet are still flexible, and he will never let the assassin hurt the official family." Wang De patted his chest and said, "In addition, the official family has been in the palace mostly in recent days, and the small ones have also selected dozens of good foundations from the small yellow doors that have newly entered the palace, and asked Faqiao and Fazheng to teach them martial arts and teach the law of guarding. ”
"Hehe, you have a heart!" Zhao Hao smiled and said, thinking that there would be a few eunuchs with strong martial arts as villains in martial arts dramas in his previous life, it seems that it is not groundless, not to mention strong martial arts, but not all of them are waste.
"These are all small things that should be done, how can the huge harem be unprotected, although the official family can rest assured, the small one will never let those little ones disturb the official family's dreams!" Wang De said with a smile.
"Why is there a fight over there?" Zhao Yu suddenly heard the 'crackling' sound of guns and sticks hitting each other in front of him, and stopped and asked.
"Don't be alarmed, the official family is in front of the lady's residence, I think I am practicing the gun stick!" Wang De listened, observed again, and replied.
"Really? Check it out! Zhao Yu looked around, and unconsciously walked to the east of the Imperial Garden, and arrived at the Baoqiong Palace, which was Li Sanniang's residence.
"Your Majesty has arrived!" After walking a short distance, he saw several people fighting each other with sticks in the moonlight, but he did not notice their arrival, Wang De preached loudly, reminding everyone.
"Meet the official family, the concubine doesn't know that the official family has come here, please atone for your sins!" Hearing the sound of the announcement, the people over there immediately stopped, set up their guns and sticks, and Li Sanniang stepped forward to salute first.
"Excuse me, Concubine Shu is still practicing hard after entering the palace!" Zhao Yu raised his hand and praised her with a smile on her face of sweat.
"The official family still practices every day, how dare the concubines be idle. How did Your Majesty come to this place? Li Sanniang asked again.
"Today's court meeting, I met with the foreign ministers, my mind was a little confused, so I went to the garden for a walk, and I heard the sound of guns and sticks!" Zhao Yu said casually.
"Oh, I see!" Hearing that it was not for herself, Li Sanniang was a little disappointed.
"These are all concubines' maids, right? I see that their guns and sticks have also been born, and it seems that they have worked hard. Zhao Yu glanced at a few maids, looked at their standing, there were still traces of the army, and pointed out.
"Exactly, although they are all concubines from Qiongzhou, they can only do some superficial work, which makes the official family laugh!" Li Sanniang took the silk scarf handed over by the maid and wiped the sweat on her face.
"No, these girls have been instructed by masters, I'm afraid they have also been on the battlefield with Concubine Shu!" Zhao Yu shook his head and said.
"The official family has good eyesight, and the slaves and maids are all Lin'an who fought all the way with the mother, and they have gone west with the official family!" The maid said.
"Yes, they are all heroines, but they have no place in this palace." Zhao Hao smiled.
"Why can't you use it? Officials can bring slaves and maids with them when they go out on the expedition, and they will never let the men in the army have eyebrows! The maid was unconvinced.
"Don't talk nonsense in front of the officials, don't accept the guns and sticks, and serve tea to the officials!" Li Sanniang glared at them and said.
"Niangniang is an eyesore for the slave maid, let's go!" But the maid was not afraid, and smiled at the other people, took away the gun and stick, and then left.
"The concubines have no way, please don't blame the officials!" Seeing them behaving like this, Li Sanniang was also helpless.
"That's good, it's better than those who have low eyebrows and are pleasing to the eyes, trembling, and you can hear some laughter, and the suffocating people of the province!" The slang people are open and informal, but Zhao Hao doesn't care about it, and smiles.
"Official, let's rest here for a while!" Li Sanniang smiled and pointed to the stone bench placed in the pavilion on the side.
"The spring night is still cold, don't be infected with the wind cold!" Zhao Yu took off his big coat and put it on Li Sanniang before sitting down.
"Is there something troubled in the official family that makes it difficult to sleep at night?" Li Sanniang blushed, but she did not refuse the kindness of the little emperor, and sat down next to him.
"The affairs are complicated, everything is sad, but it is urgent, I have to think about it!" Zhao Yu turned his face to look at Li Sanniang and said with a wry smile.
"All the concubines are incompetent, and they can't share the worries of the official family!" Li Sanniang then sighed and bowed her head.
"What does this have to do with you, and I am also incompetent." Li Sanniang beside her exuded the smell of sweat, but it was not the smell of sweat, there seemed to be a faint aroma in it, which was not annoying, but wanted to get closer, Zhao Yu moved over there and said.
"How can the official family be incompetent to recover Jiangnan and rebuild the Great Song Dynasty with their own strength?" Li Sanniang heard the frustration in the little emperor's words and comforted him, but she didn't realize his abnormality.
"Concubine Shu, I don't know a little, why do some slang tribes don't want to join, but frequently rebel?" Seeing this, Zhao Yu was a little bored, pinching his forehead and saying.
"Official, is it possible that the Qiongzhou slang clan is reversed again?" Li Sanniang was taken aback and asked urgently.
"No, no!" Zhao Yu saw his misunderstanding and waved his hand again and again, "Yesterday, I discussed state affairs with Mr., and said that Meng Yuan occupied Dali, and there was a threat to my back at any time. But I thought that even if I recovered, it would be difficult to stabilize the situation, and I would have to spend money and food, and I would have to use heavy ammunition to suppress it, but if I didn't move, it would be a problem for my henchmen. Seeing that Concubine Shu was so reasonable, she was just moved! ”
"That's because they haven't met such a good emperor as the official family!" Li Sanniang breathed a long sigh of relief and smiled.
"Really? Then I will marry them again, and marry all their daughters to my family!" Zhao Yu blinked his eyes and said for a while.
"No way!" Li Sanniang blurted out almost subconsciously as soon as the little emperor's words fell, but she soon realized that something was wrong, and muttered, "The official family, the concubines don't mean this, but it is still difficult to maintain it for a long time by marriage." ”
"Hehe, I am very happy when you say this, which means that Concubine Shu still cares about me very much!" Seeing his panicked appearance, Zhao Yu found it even more interesting, and reached out to hold his waist and pull him to his side.
"Official...... Concubines are definitely not jealous women......" Li Sanniang had never been so close to the little emperor, and said in a trembling voice.
"I know!" At this moment, Zhao Yu felt that Li Sanniang's body was stiff, obviously very nervous, and simply pulled it into his arms, and at this time, Wang De was very sensible and retreated from everyone and avoided it from a distance.
"The official family, the concubines say that the official family is a good emperor, but it is not only good to the concubines, and now all the slang in Qiongzhou are thinking of the kindness of the official family, how can they rebel!" Li Sanniang was completely held in the arms of the little emperor at this moment, the two of them could smell their breathing, felt their respective body temperatures, but they didn't dare to move, she tried her best to restrain her beating heart, and replied softly.
"What have I done to make Qiongzhou Slang so grateful?" Zhao Yu gently stroked Li Sanniang's long hair, trying to calm it down, and said softly.
"Do the officials know what the slang people are most afraid of?" Under the caress of the little emperor, Li Sanniang gradually calmed down, leaned her head on his shoulder and asked softly.
"I don't know!"
"The official, what the slang Tong is most afraid of is that the Han people will enter their borders, seize the land, and pay taxes to the government!" "The Han Chinese, who are so strong and backed by an army, seize the land they have relied on for generations, forcing them to move to the more barren mountains, or they will be slaughtered," Li said. The government levied taxes on the people, but in order to make up for the loss of paying taxes, the owners would often impose them on their subordinates, and collect them in the name of hoe taxes and fireworks money, but they relied on the government, which could only make the people hate the Han people even more, and once the leaders were dissatisfied with the government and instigated a little, they would enthusiastically follow its rebellion! ”
"But after the official family arrived in Qiongzhou, not only did they not seize the land of the various slangs, but instead divided the borders, strictly ordered the Han people and the army to cross the border without authorization, and the violators were severely punished, and the slang people were naturally grateful for the feelings of the officials." Li Sanniang felt very comfortable leaning on the little emperor, and she didn't have the nervousness just now, so she moved and chose a more comfortable posture to lean on his body and said, "Moreover, the official family is very friendly to the heads of the government, and they send people to discuss everything, rather than using troops at every turn." In addition, the collected taxes were clearly issued an edict so that the people knew about it, but they also reduced or exempted the chiefs, and also paid salaries according to the rank of officials, and often rewarded them during the New Year's Festival, so that they did not suffer losses, and naturally they would not exploit their subordinate people again. Who then will rebel? ”
"Did I do all these good things?" Zhao Hao smiled.
"Of course, there are many more, but it's too late, or ......," Li Sanniang said softly, but in the end she couldn't continue.
"Or what?" Zhao Yu tightened his arms around Li Sanniang and pretended to be stupid.
"Or stay here with the concubine!" Li Sanniang said that she buried her face in the little emperor's chest and didn't dare to raise her head.
"Good ......" Zhao Yu reached out and grabbed Li Sanniang's legs, stood up and walked towards the hall with her in his arms and said loudly.
"Quick note, on the seventeenth day of the first month of the eighth year of Xiangxing, the official family stayed in Baoqiong Hall at night and slept with Concubine Shu!" Wang De, who was hiding in the shadows, urged again and again, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the little emperor finally opened......
