Zheng Juzhong, Cangzhou officials, big and small, suddenly became diligent for serious official business, and they were so worried about how to complete the tax task that they didn't know how much their hair had fallen off. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In order to satisfy the emperor's bottomless profligacy, Cai Jing and other traitors who controlled the government also had to supply huge military expenses and huge expenses formed by a bloated army of officials, and maintained the operation of the rule, and worked hard, but they were also worried to death about how to get money.

Zhao Yue knew that there would be such a result, and he knew even more that the essential source of the punishment for the dog official was not his family, but technology.

Including Emperor Zhao Ji, these dogs and things according to the consciousness and habits of officialdom for thousands of years, thinking that dealing with Cangzhao is just cleaning up a political official, no matter how capable Zhao Gonglian is, eradicating it, it has no big impact on the country of the Great Song Dynasty, who is missing in the officialdom, the Great Song Dynasty is still operating, but I don't know that they hate Cangzhao, and what they actually hate is science and technology, and what they are dealing with is the emerging development of science and technology.

History proves that as a ruler, if you dare to trample on and block the development of science and technology, you will be punished terrible.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten.

This truth has been repeatedly demonstrated by the humiliating and bloody history of the heads of countless dynasties and bureaucratic elites.

The rulers of the past dynasties all hoped that they could go down in history while enjoying their own majestic life, but they did not know that the benevolent government such as being relatively kind to the people was recognized by future generations. The vast majority of future generations, the vast majority of people look at the present, and in their hearts, they don't care how benevolent and promising the emperor and bureaucrats who died long ago were at that time, and they are concerned about the quality of the current living environment. If you can get the favor of your ancestors, the country is strong, you can live a prosperous life, you can hold your head high and hold your head high wherever you go in the world, and beat anyone who dares to provoke, then future generations will truly recognize that you, the predecessor ruler, are really great, live in the hearts of the people, and truly go down in history.

And what can really benefit future generations and will always be grateful and remembered is the fundamental source of science and technology. To put it bluntly, during your reign, you developed science and technology, laid the foundation for the rapid development of science and technology to crush the world and the governing philosophy of science and technology first. If you only rely on primitive natural means such as farming and breeding to make the country rich, it will be relevant to future generations. No one really cares about your exploits at the time. Your glorious image can only be found in history textbooks that people throw away after reading them.

Zheng Juzhong hopes to make a fortune through smuggling and boost the local economy.

Zhao Yue ordered that after the immigrating of the peninsula, smuggling would only trade cheap and exquisite sea salt efficiently produced by the empire in exchange for tea and porcelain, and no longer trade all the scientific and technological products that should not be available in this era, and make every effort to earn the wealth of other countries at high prices.

The empire has developed to the present, and there is no shortage of money, and there is no need to quickly get money from the Great Song Dynasty nearby.

Sooner or later, the wealth of the Great Song Dynasty was in the pocket of the empire, and it was first placed in the hands of the ruler for safekeeping, and then it was used as evidence of punishment.

Due to immigration, smuggling stopped for only a few months, and the lives of the rich and powerful people in the Great Song Dynasty quickly retreated from the enjoyment of the times similar to the living standards of the common people in the 21st century, to the original primitive backwardness of this era.

Toothpaste, monosodium glutamate, soap, peanut oil and other edible oils that are not available in the Song Dynasty......

Just these daily necessities were stopped, and the officials who had already enjoyed the living standards of later generations, including the emperor Zhao Ji, complained bitterly, so they had to brush their teeth again with refined salt, bathe with soap, and eat meals that were not fragrant, fresh, and tasteless...... It's definitely worse than an online game fan suddenly being unable to access the Internet.

And that's not even the worst.

In recent years, the bureaucrats who have made a lot of money by smuggling have used their power to frantically produce and loot according to the trading habits they have formed in the past, and have hoarded a large number of commodities, preparing to exchange them for smuggling, and then make a fortune with rare and contrabagged goods.

I don't know how many dignitaries and nobles who are hiding behind and waiting for the merchants under their control to move gold and silver treasures to his house in boxes, and they are about to jump to their feet and go crazy with anger.

Zhao Yue decided to sell salt and reduce the price, mainly because this thing was cheap, and ordinary people could exchange or sell their own tea and fired porcelain to make money, which largely cut off the smuggling monopoly advantage formed by the powerful and powerful with capital and power.

At the same time, it is also for the sake of people's health.

In this era, the quality of salt that the people could afford to eat was extremely inferior, rough and unclean, not to mention, and not purified enough, and poisonous.

Zhao Ji and other monarchs and ministers are ignorant and ignorant, but they don't know the terrible punishment caused by the scourge of science and technology, and they don't understand what international economic sanctions are.

At the beginning, the kidnapping incident tossed Zheng Juzhong, and Zhao's grandmother, the old lady of the Ning family, looked at the money that was compromised and compromised by the millions of yuan, and agreed to consciously weaken Cangzhao's business, and not to worry about Zheng Juzhong to complete the emperor's secret decree, Zheng Juzhong was relieved at that time and secretly happy. This was also one of the indirect means of punishing him.

The officials who are now serving in Cangzhou Prefecture and County are all sent by the emperor and Cai Jing, and the subordinate officials below are their own protégés, old relatives and friends. The purpose of these dog officials coming here is to lie in Cangzhou, south of the Fubi River, to suck blood, make money and get rich and promoted.

It's a pity that they controlled the government and the army, and according to the old consciousness of officialdom, they thought that they could ride on the heads of the people and do whatever they wanted, and exploit them with harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but they didn't know that after more than ten years of hard work by Cangzhao, Zhao Gonglian deliberately guided during his tenure, and the people who really controlled Cangzhou were the people of Cangzhou.

The government wants to suck blood, and the ruffians want to extort, but it depends on whether the knives in the hands of the people agree or not.

In other places, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, just in terms of official affairs, are not considered to be intrigues and hollow out to pull relationships and go to the door, it is too easy.

There are three main ways for the imperial court to evaluate the performance of officials: first, the ability to pay taxes; the second is the situation of public security and education; The third is educational achievement.

The first is for officials to develop the local economy.

The people of this era have no concept that science and technology are the primary productive forces, and they do not have the consciousness of attaching importance to the development of science and technology.

The vast majority of officials who have read a belly of sage moral articles and speak of righteousness do not even know the most basic agricultural affairs, how can they understand science and technology and economic management, and economic development is still the same as the old three articles of thousands of years ago: emphasizing agriculture and mulberry, revitalizing water conservancy, and opening up wasteland and mines.

Public security and education is to control the people's thoughts, be loyal to the monarch and patriotism, don't break the law, and be honest as cattle and horses, to put it bluntly, it is to maintain stability.

The standard of education and assessment is not the cultural popularity and level of the general public, but the number of outstanding scholars such as Jinshi.

Even if the other people are illiterate, then you have excellent educational achievements.

In short, local bureaucrats do not have to worry about the introduction of foreign capital, nor do they have to worry about the revitalization of science and technology, they do not have to worry about what factories and companies are doing to prosper and promote economic growth, let alone worry about the management of the environment, worry about job placement, and do not take care of the difficult households of the martyrs. Therefore, he can write poems leisurely, complain, and focus on pleasure and infighting, making money and getting promoted.

Zheng Juzhong Cangzhou officials have no ability to invigorate the economy, and can only rely on looting the people's fat to make money, but for the sake of their own heads, they are afraid of causing a popular uprising or even a rebellion, and they dare not let go of the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, so they will naturally be blind when they complete the task of high taxes.

This level is too difficult.

Do you want to use the money you scavenged to pay taxes?

Zheng Juzhong thought about this for a while, and his heart ached like a knife.

To be an official is to be an official, otherwise why be an official? The benefits of swallowing it in the stomach are reluctant to give it to the emperor.

Emperor Zhao Ji was not worried that Cangzhao would really rebel.

With his instruction and the active participation of the thieves, a large net has already trapped Cangzhao.

The Qingzhou army had the sons of the noble Gao family and the supervising army to firmly contain Zhao Gonglian's military power, and the government had full-time officials arranged by the imperial court to control the money and grain.

Other military states in Cangbei also have people who are arranged by the imperial court to divide power and contain the chief officials. Moreover, only when the Liao army invaded, Zhao Gonglian had the right to mobilize, and he wanted to pull the joint rebellion, even if the commanders of these military states were willing, it was too difficult to really rebel.

Cangzhou has Zheng Juzhong to control and monitor Cangzhao, Zhaozhuang people can fight, not afraid of the invasion of the Liao army, if they dare to make trouble, the Cangzhou army can't deal with it, and the 100,000 troops of Hejian Mansion can support Zheng Juzhong at any time and deter the Cangbei army.

Liangshan is the commodity sales point of the Cangzhao family, and Zhao Ji also knows this. The former Cangbei officers who hated Cangzhao were all demoted to the state capitals around Liangshan after they were dismissed by Zhao Gonglian. These people would naturally grit their teeth and stare at Liang Shan.

Zhao Ji was very confident that he had already strangled the possibility of Cangzhao's rebellion.

He was also not worried that Zhao Gonglian would defect to the Liao State when he saw through his vicious plan.

Zhao Gonglian had already judged the demise of the Liao Kingdom a few years ago, and how could he take refuge in a barbarian country that was about to be destroyed. Even if he is desperate to take refuge in order to survive, with the deep hatred of the Cangzhao family and the Liao State, the Liao State will not really take him in and treat him well, and he will kill him.

Those barbarians in the north are not tolerant gentlemen who were educated by the saints, they are like beasts, and they will take revenge if they have revenge. I can't report it, that's no way. I don't want to let go of the opportunity.

With Zhao Gonglian's shrewdness, he must be able to see through this, and he doesn't have the courage to risk the family's life to test whether the Khitan people are broad-minded enough.

However, in order to further choke Zhao Gonglian's lifeline, so that he could be more sure and easily get rid of it when unloading the mill, Zhao Ji appeased and coaxed Zhao Gonglian on the grounds of rewarding the Cangzhao family, and asked Zhao Manmen, including Zhao Gonglian's wife and children, to move to the capital to live.

It is said that it is convenient for him, the emperor, to take care of the family of his favored ministers, and also allows the Cangzhao people who live in Cangzhou in the remote area and have never seen the world to enjoy the prosperity and convenience of the capital and live a higher life. This is also in line with the practice of the imperial court requiring the main officials of the border gates to keep their families in the capital. This can also reduce the officials' slander and suspicion of you Zhao Gonglian.

Zhao Ji's will is a look of I care for you, and the saintly virtue of your good, benevolence, and love. You can't fail to do it.

To put it bluntly, he wants to control the hostages, pinch Zhao Gonglian, and save Zhao Gonglian from detecting that it is not good to engage in demon moths.

Zhao Gonglian quickly replied: Emperor, my body is really tired, it's not that I don't want to do it. My grandmothers and grandmothers are old, they are old and homesick, afraid of loneliness, they are all honest peasant women who have no knowledge, they don't read much, they can't go to the capital table, and they can't enjoy the high-end atmosphere and high-grade life, so they like to chat with the familiar old neighbor Zhuang Shang's mud-legged old man to pass the time, just live on this, and don't want to go to the strange Tokyo city life where there is no one to talk to. No matter how good Tokyo is, my old people don't care. Moreover, they are old, and they are in their eighties, and even if they want to go to Tokyo, they really can't bear the torture of the road.

As for me, I was afraid of working hard for the country and dedicating myself wholeheartedly, but I was dissatisfied and slandered by the ministers, my body collapsed, and my spirit couldn't resist, so I really couldn't do it. Please ask the emperor to clean me and the full house of official titles and honors, and I will sneak home as a grass citizen, so that I can recuperate quietly. It also saves the pain and trouble of moving the grandmother's family, and saves everyone the trouble, so everyone is good and happy.

As for guarding the border, you don't have to worry about it, emperor.

Like Hei Yongkang, a corrupt straw bag who fornicated with Liaoguo and also fornicated with thieves can protect Qingzhou, it can be seen that the son of the chief official of Qingzhou is a person, and he can almost do it with a head. There are so many masters and talents in the court, the emperor, you can arrange for one to come over and guard Qingzhou, it must be a hundred times stronger than me, a young and inexperienced man with a half-level level. Emperor, you have to understand and be considerate of me, for the sake of my loyalty and hard work for so many years, please let me live for the people with peace of mind, and I will never touch the officialdom from now on. If so, I will be grateful to you, Emperor.

Having said all this, the simple summary is, if you don't trust, why let me do it? If you want to pinch hostages, coax, and use me as a cow, horse, and stupid donkey, you can save it. Lao Tzu is gone, and you don't need to dig out your mind to control and deal with it. Whoever fucks you, being bullied by the Liao army in the future is dead or alive.

After Zhao Ji finished reading the recital, he was so angry that he threw it on the ground and stepped on it several times.

Then vent his anger on the unlucky eunuch, and then he could only restrain his anger and let Liang Shicheng put it up as evidence for the crime of the general ledger in the future.

The Manchu Dynasty's civil and military scolding of Zhao Gonglian was intended to provoke the Liao State and plunge Cangbei into extreme sinisterity, so that he could bring Kou to his own respect. Ill-intentioned, it is simply condemnable. But it was just a matter of putting a mouth cannon in the Tokyo court to shirk responsibility and cover up that he was afraid of death and incompetent, but a large number of officials were stunned that no one dared to take over Qingzhou to lead the border army to resist the Liao army that was eyeing the tiger.

Zhao Ji actually trusts Zhao Gonglian's ability and courage very much, and he knows that when it comes to governing the country, even Cai Jing can't compare to Zhao Gonglian, if it weren't for Zhao Gonglian's too young and too shallow qualifications to convince the public, he would have become the prime minister with his previous status as a favored minister, and he would have been replaced by someone to replace him in Qingzhou, even if someone is willing to go, in the current situation, he is not at ease.

Helpless, official, Zhao Gonglian has to take over. The hostage-taking could not be insisted on.

If you take hostages, people won't do it, and refuse with filial piety, the highest moral standard of this era.

People don't do it, they just want to go home as grass people, what other practice do you mention hostages?

It's like a boss threatening a staff member who wants to resign, if you are not honest, I will deduct your salary and not give you a job. If you don't wait, it's useless to say anything. (To be continued.) )
