As soon as this legendary night pearl appeared, it quickly spread in the rivers and lakes, and set off a bloody storm. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Some people seek it with a lot of money, but in the blink of an eye, people's heads fall to the ground; and those who succeed often change hands before they can cover the heat, turning into a wisp of grievances; and there are even more huge thieves involved in it, and there are many firefights. Anyway, I don't know how many people have been tossed and turned, and how many people have died because of it.

In the end, a big merchant in the south of the Yangtze River bought it for a huge sum of 3 million, and he didn't know whether he was afraid of causing trouble or being forced by others, so he dedicated the night pearl to the prince's real gold. After many arguments, they thought that no matter from the workmanship, or the attached ornaments and related records, they could be identified as the old things in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.

After getting confirmed, the real gold did not dare to keep it and immediately sent it into the palace, Kublai Khan couldn't put it down after seeing it, and after hearing about the legend, he regarded it as a treasure, and hung the night pearl in the sleeping tent, bathing in the pearl light every day. So far, Zhao Hao's plan has been preliminarily completed, and the twists and turns have been designed by him and accidental, but in the end, his efforts have not been in vain, and he has made a windfall after several resales.

After three years of waiting, the result that Zhao Yu was hoping for finally appeared. According to the images sent back by the spies, he analyzed that Kublai Khan not only suffered from radiation sickness after a long period of radioactive radiation, but also most likely developed tumors, otherwise he would not have lost weight sharply. And with the current medical methods, it is difficult to return to heaven even if he owns the world, so he judged that Kublai Khan will die soon!

According to further reports from the spies, although Kublai Khan was seriously ill, he still went to the old land of Mongolia in February to escape the summer. On the other hand, they may also want to stay away from the strife in the court and obtain temporary peace. Zhao Hao also understands that in Kublai Khan's later years, his personal life also suffered a series of setbacks and misfortunes, and he would be troubled if he was on the table.

Nanbi became Kublai Khan's wife after Chabi's death. She was a distant relative of Chabi. It may be that after learning about the deterioration of her health, Chabi personally chose her as his successor. Nanbi and Empress Chabi were both born in the Mongolian aristocratic Hongjira clan, and his father Hongjira Xiantong was the grandson of Nachen Wanhu, the king of Jining County, a famous minister of the Yuan Dynasty.

In the twentieth year of the Yuan Dynasty, Nan Bi, who was in the prime of his youth, was made the empress by Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, and succeeded his great-aunt Chabi Zhenggong Niangniang, who was already sixty-eight years old. It is said that Nanbi can be regarded as a virtuous and virtuous person, but unfortunately his great-aunt Empress Chabi is too virtuous, and she is still slightly inferior in all aspects compared with such a virtuous queen. And they all serve the same monarch, so it is naturally easy to distinguish between the higher and the lower.

Nanbi was in the prime of adolescence, and Kublai Khan, who was already old, inevitably neglected him. The old and merry Kublai Khan often found excuses to go out for summer vacations and was fortunate to go to Kaiping Mansion in Shangdu, and he never brought Empress Nanbi with him, and it turned out that most of the old concubines in Shangdu did not follow the court to move south. In this way, Empress Nanbi accompanied Kublai Khan in a lukewarm and hot life, and the prince Tie Zhichi who gave birth soon died young. In order to pass the time, Nanbi always wanted to find something to do, so he used the queen's authority to interfere in the government from time to time, pointing fingers at the ministers in the court and giving orders.

Because the Yuan Dynasty's restrictions on the harem were not too strict, Kublai Khan felt old and did not stop the trend of interfering in the harem. Therefore, the practice of Empress Nanbi's participation in court politics was resigned, which made the courtiers mistakenly believe that the emperor supported the empress in doing so. As a result, Nan Bi often prevented the minister from meeting the emperor in front of the emperor on the grounds that the emperor had taken care of the dragon body in the Spring and Autumn Period. There were whispers inside and outside the court, but the ministers could not talk directly to the emperor, and no one had a good way to solve it, and they were already very influential politically, which caused the dissatisfaction of the crown prince Zhenjin, who often complained to him.

In addition, the lives of the common people are gone, which is not a big deal, but the treasury is empty, and the emperor has a headache. I think that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Wei Qing and Huo Qu to be ill in the desert and seal the feat of the wolf, but the people of the Han Dynasty paid a huge price, the people's lives were lost, and the treasury was empty. Meng Yuan's losses in successive wars are also huge, and the prime minister Ahma, who is good at financial management, has not been able to find a wealthy expert to replace him, and now Sange has recommended a financial expert Lu Shirong for him, but he was opposed by the ministers, which made Kublai Khan angry and helpless......

During the dictatorship of Ahma, Shirong bribed him to make an envoy for Jiangxi Yongcha, and was later abolished for his crime. After Ahma's death, the ministers of the Yuan court were secretive about financial affairs, but they could not meet the financial needs of the ancestors. As a result, the General System Institute asked Sang Ge to "recommend Lu Shirong to have talents, saying that he can save money and increase the amount of classes, so that the country can be enriched at the top, and the people will not be harmed." China's bureaucrats have never lacked skilled investigators. The idea soon came to mind, and it was nothing more than the three magic weapons, first, the iron and salt official camp, the second, the drunkenness, and the third, the collection of money.

However, Lu Shirong went even further, and the "financial management" methods he mentioned were mainly to further increase the government-run (such as wine, iron, and overseas trade) or government-business joint ventures, and the government took most of its benefits. Reform the banknote law, re-implement the copper minting to yuan banknotes, and make silk bills, and participate in the banknote process. Restricting overseas trade and promoting government-based ships. Establish a standing position to stabilize prices. Many of these measures are indeed aimed at "curbing the encroachment of power and profit" and want to take them away from the government, but it is undeniable that they are also excessively expropriated.

In Zhao's view, Lu Shirong's economic plan is more like a hodgepodge of monopoly laws and Wang Anshi's reforms, with most policies being fried cold rice and not much innovation. And the basis of its policy is financial management, not wealth generation. In other words, society does not actually create more surplus value, but only forcibly collects assets that should have been obtained by the royal family and nobles and merchants, creating false growth. And this kind of fiscal policy of drinking water to quench thirst is extremely damaging to the country.

Of course, this is not Zhao Hao's nonsense, but there are lessons from history. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered the Xiongnu several times, and Liu Che was ruined by the family funds accumulated by four generations, and he had to carry out economic reforms in order to support the huge military expenditure, in order to obtain more money to complete his great cause. Before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, iron salt, including coinage, could be privately owned. People can boil salt, strike iron, buy and sell agricultural tools and even weapons, and of course, if they get the permission of the government, they can also mine copper ore and open furnaces to mint money.

Now, these big-money careers have been taken over by the government. The quality of salt is high, and you have to buy it anyway, if you don't buy it, you won't eat it. As for ironware, it's the same, you have to use it anyway, and if you want to use it, there is only one channel for the official family, and the guy who bought it back is not easy to use, so he has to settle for it. In this way, state capitalism was completed, and all the money was scraped directly to the official treasury.

The liquor industry was originally intended to be run by the state, but the wine is not like salt and iron, and the people are short of it, and if the quality of the wine made by the government-run liquor industry is too poor, no one will buy it, and there is no way to force consumption. Therefore, it can only be put to the private sector, but the state forcibly levies the rent of liquor, which is the liquor industry. This item is another income.

Originally, the state taxed commercial activities. However, such a tax, no matter how it was raised, could not satisfy the emperor at this time. So the levy was levied and the money was calculated. The so-called silk rope is a silk rope that strings money, a string of 1,000, and 20,000, that is, 20,000, 20,000. The calculation is for real estate, how many houses, how many horses, how many vehicles, the government stipulates that the people pay by themselves.

Of course, the people are not stupid, who will take the initiative to pay? But the government has a trick. It stipulates that if anyone fails to pay, or underpays, others can report to the government, and after the complaint, the government can confiscate all the family's property and give half of it to the informant. At that time, the court lieutenant in charge of the criminal law was Du Zhou, a famous cool official, who sent people to the county to do the work of calculation.

So the complainants are all over the world, and there are no middle-class families. Those who accuse others of their ill-gotten gains will also be sued in the blink of an eye. For a time, the court obtained hundreds of millions of people's wealth, tens of millions of slaves and maids who were confiscated, hundreds of hectares of land in large counties, and hundreds of hectares in small counties. Accusing, that is, denying people for hiding their wealth and not reporting it, has become a way to make money more than the iron and salt official camp for a while.

However, the people are those people, and the property is the property, and if it is emptied, it will be gone. Therefore, such financial measures can only be exhausted. When the water dries up, there are a lot of fish at first, and then the fish are gone. Compete for profit with the people, rob the people's wealth, and the profit will be gone. Therefore, after the end of Emperor Wu, the Han Dynasty entered a long period of decline, and it was not until the time of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty that it changed its course and recovered slightly.

Therefore, Zhao Yu was not optimistic about Lu Shirong's economic reforms, thinking that Wang Anshi's reform was implemented with the strong support of Emperor Shenzong, but there were still many obstacles, resulting in continuous government and several changes. Although it once produced good results, it ended in vain as soon as Shenzong died, but it triggered a party struggle that lasted for more than ten years, and the economy was difficult to recover.

Although Lu Shirong also received the support of Kublai Khan, he claimed that "the dog with fast feet, the fox does not love Yan, and the master does not love it". Tell him to "eat and eat and live on your own". It can be said that it has given strong support. However, Zhao Yu is still not optimistic, because he miscalculated the situation, and many of his "financial management" measures are not feasible at all because they violate the interests of the rich and powerful, not to mention that he is a Han Chinese, and he is one level lower than the Semu Ahema in terms of rank, making him in a more disadvantageous position than Wang Anshi.

Therefore, Zhao Yu is not optimistic about Lu Shirong, Kublai Khan's rule is based on these dignitaries and royal clans, and he will definitely stand on their side at the critical moment, but will push him out as a scapegoat; In addition, at present, the prince of Mengyuan Zhenjin has participated in the government affairs, and he is very disgusted with Lu Shirong, and he will definitely get in the way, and he has many complaints about the policies implemented by Kublai Khan, and he must be a victim of the father-son struggle in the middle.

Political struggles are often accompanied by bloodshed, and the result is often the fall of one group of people, followed by another group of people. This kind of struggle is like modern 'chemotherapy', which does not distinguish between good and evil, and kills everything. In the same way, political purges are based on taking sides, and anyone who opposes himself regardless of what is good will be defeated even by the geniuses of the day; On the contrary, as long as you support yourself, even mediocre talents and villains can be promoted and ascend to high positions.

This kind of result is extremely damaging to the country, not only will frequent changes in policies cause social unrest, but also the flow of talent, and the country will also be greatly damaged, and it often takes years of rectification to repair. This is also one of the reasons why Zhao Yu did not dare to carry out institutional reform in a drastic way, but he was happy to see Meng Yuan, and even looked forward to seeing whether Zhenjin could successfully inherit the unification and control the government after Kublai Khan's death......

Everyone knows that the princes of all dynasties have been extremely cruel to the throne, and Zhao Yu also knows that the Mengyuan regime has ruled China for nearly a hundred years, in which the emperor's enthronement is mostly seized by force, although it is a dispute within the imperial family, but it is very tragic, less than a hundred years of history, there have been more than ten emperors, the reason is that the emperors died in the struggle for the throne.

However, this competition stems from the hidden danger of succession design left by Genghis Khan before his death, which changed the way the Mongols passed on the throne. According to Mongolian custom, the youngest son inherited his father's business, while the older sons went out to earn their own living. But its guiding ideology is: the Mongol Empire must have capable people to be the Great Khan! But he never imagined that it was his strong idea that led to the replacement of all emperors in the century-old history of the Yuan Dynasty, all of which followed the path of armed and bloody struggle.

The Mongol succession basically follows the tradition of brother death and brother's succession, uncle death and nephew inheritance, the Great Khan will appoint an heir before his death, but if the succession wants to ascend the throne, it is still necessary to be confirmed by the election of the "Kuritai" congress attended by the Mongolian nobles, otherwise it is difficult to justify the succession, and this is also the gladiatorial arena of all forces, often accompanied by bloodshed.

Since Kublai Khan's victory over Ali Buge and the acquisition of Mongol rule, some Han ministers such as Yao Shu and Zhang Xiongfei have suggested "building a prince and deputy to Chongzuo" and "building a prince as soon as possible", that is, adopting the traditional primogeniture inheritance system of the Central Plains Dynasty to ensure the succession of the Khan. Kublai Khan finally adopted Hanchen's suggestion and appointed his eldest son Zhenjin as the crown prince in February of the tenth year of the Yuan Dynasty. On March 13, Boyan was dispatched to hold the festival to confer the jade book Jinbao and hold a canonization ceremony.

Kublai Khan naturally broke the old system of Mongolian succession in this way, which inevitably caused the dissatisfaction of other members of the Golden Family, which was equivalent to depriving them of the hope of inheriting the throne. And Zhenjin was established as the prince, and he had already participated in the government at this moment, and the views of the father and son were not completely consistent, and in Zhao Hao's impression, it seemed that Zhenjin died before Kublai Khan before he ascended the throne......
