Chapter 242: The Emperor's Fire
Zhao Zhen stood silently in front of the map of the vertical arch hall, this is the territory map of the Great Song Dynasty, he specially ordered people to draw and enlarge it, north to Zhending, south to Qiongzhou, east to Mingzhou, west to Yazhou, although this land is far less than the Han and Tang Dynasties, but pregnant with new hope for the Chinese nation.

Zhao Zhen didn't believe in the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty at first, until he personally went to the three divisions to check the accounts before he was shocked, the economic prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty at this time was far better than the Qing court hundreds of years later, even the old capitalist countries such as Britain after the Industrial Revolution were slightly inferior in front of the current Great Song Dynasty, in fact, the current British had just driven away the Danes, and even the country had not been unified.
The humiliating tribute left by the Tanyuan Alliance, in Zhao Zhen's opinion, is nothing more than a ridiculous irony, giving Liao 100,000 guan and 200,000 silk horses every year, although it seems like a lot, but this is only the annual financial income of the two counties of the Great Song Dynasty, how many counties are there in the Great Song Dynasty?
And every year through the mutual market, the Song Dynasty has to recover at least tens of millions of dollars, which is too cost-effective than trading, otherwise how could it open a field in the border land of Song and Liao?
It seems that the Liao people took advantage of it and obtained the necessary resources through the field, but they don't look at how much economic benefit it brought to the Great Song Dynasty!
The territory is not as good as that of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but the strength is far superior, how did such a dynasty be destroyed by the nomads?
As soon as he thought of the broken city of Tokyo, the prosperity in front of him was ravaged and trampled by iron hooves, Zhao Zhen felt that a pair of hands were choking his neck and almost suffocated, which made his forehead ooze dense sweat, and his scalp exploded.
Could it be that the agrarian peoples had an inherent disadvantage before the nomads?
No way!
If that's the case, how did Feng Wolf Juxu come about? How did Yan Ran Le Gong appear? The agrarian civilization of the Chinese nation has driven the nomads away from their side more than once in history, and has slaughtered the prairie wolves wandering nearby to extinction more than once.
Zhao Zhen, as a later generation, has a higher vision, and he knows what people in this era don't understand.
The Southern Xiongnu attached to the Han, and the Northern Xiongnu went away. The Xiongnu conceded defeat in the long war with the Han people and began an unprecedented migration of ethnic groups.
At the end of the third century, when the Xiongnu appeared in Alan Chat, this blue wolf, which had been hungry for too long, had already exposed its claws to the weak Western people in front of it...... In the middle of the fourth century A.D., Alain talked about the destruction of the country, and the West was shaken.
Since then, the activities of the Xiongnu in the West have been written endlessly......
Zhao Zhen can pat his chest and say that the evolution history of the Great East has created changes in the whole world.
But now this once powerful nation has been suppressed in a corner, and even the important gateway to the sixteen states of Yanyun is gone!?
Zhao Zhen, who was extremely angry, smashed his fist on the map in front of him, he hated Shi Jingjiao, a despicable villain who ceded the sixteen states of Youyun and was willing to be the "emperor", and hated those shrinking ministers in the court even more.
Even if the economy of the Great Song Dynasty was prosperous, they were also silent in the face of war, and the failure of Taizong's Northern Expedition left an indelible impression on them, and they did not dare to even suppress the remarks of the court to withdraw the smoke and clouds, in their eyes, the Khitans were born warriors, and the Han people were born farmers.
What kind of bullshit is this?
This is the theory of the family!
Even if the emperor changes, the dynasty changes, it doesn't matter if the people are changed, they are still wealthy families with a lot of land, the court still needs scribes to manage the country, and the local still needs the clan to manage, this is the rule of the family, and it is also the rule of the game that every emperor must abide by......
What about China in their eyes? Didn't the Han people survive? It hasn't been exterminated either.
But they don't know that there is no China after Yashan, and there is no China after the death of the Ming Dynasty!
A gloomy, angry aura surrounds Zhao Zhen, he wants to destroy all the people who hinder his reform, and sweep away all the obstacles that prevent him from saving the fate of China, this is the national righteousness, this is the life and death of the nation, only by breaking this kind of thinking can China be redeemed.
Zhao Zhen himself is not a person with noble thoughts, according to the original plan, he only needs to hide the little secrets in his heart and become an emperor Renzong who enjoys a prosperous life.
But the prophet in his heart made him even more uncomfortable every time he saw the prosperity and pomp of the Great Song Dynasty, as if a pair of big hands were wantonly kneading his heart, making him cry in pain and unable to scream......
Kou Zhun and Wang Zeng, who were originally standing in the vertical arch hall, were stunned by the cold and angry aura on the official family, what made the official family so angry?
At this time, the two of them seemed to see a true dragon soaring for nine days screaming in sadness and despair.
Sancai approached Zhao Zhen fearfully and whispered: "Official, the two ministers have arrived." ”
Zhao Zhen raised his head to restore his previous nobility, and by the way, let the wetness in his eyes flow back.
"Got it, stand down!"
Sancai hesitated and slowly retreated, and when he was leaving, he commanded the little yellow door to close the door of the vertical arch hall, so that the surrounding yellow doors and imperial instruments walked away from the distance.
"At this time, whoever comes to block it for me, I must not disturb the duet between the official family and the two ministers, if there is an eyeless intrusion and death, I don't know how I died, remember?!"
Several small yellow doors nodded again and again, they knew that this was the protection of Sancai, and the imperial equipment stood at the foot of the steps without saying a word, staring closely at the palace gate.
"Where are you going, sir?"
"Where am I going, can you ask?"
Sancai turned around and gave Xiao Huangmen, who was asking, a violent shudder, and now he could only ask for help from Her Royal Highness the princess who was bent on Bi Yaxuan.
The official family has changed since they saw the map, as if the country is ruined and the family is ruined, and the little lady of the Wang family can't enter the palace casually, only the most favored princess can solve the official family at this time, at least make the official family feel more comfortable, isn't it?
Sancai even planned to let Vera vent her anger for the official family tonight, maybe it was caused by the boy's body being too angry......
Zhao Zhen sat down on the rocking chair and shook it for a while, turned over the fold and threw it at the feet of Kou Zhun and Wang Zeng: "Tell me what's going on?" Wang Lun has been on the road more than once, right? Why didn't I see Hanhai Songshu? ”
Kou Zhun didn't pick up the song but said confidently: "Qiqi official, Jianghuai Caoyun Wang Lun did go to the song, but after the discussion of Zhongshu Province, he still thought that the old seawall built by Li Cheng in the Tang Dynasty could still be used, and the third division also agreed to allocate funds for repairs, so it was not submitted to the official family." ”
Wang Zeng picked up the song and looked at it, his face changed greatly, and gently pulled Kou Zhun's sleeve, but it was too late.
"Huh, tinkering? …… Where did the repair go! ”
Zhao Zhen stood up abruptly and pointed at Kou Zhun and said, "I asked you where you repaired?!" Wang Lun went up half a year ago, when did the money of the three divisions be allocated? Why did the embankment burst all of a sudden? The sea tide flooded the salt brine and poured into the fertile fields, and the loss was no less than one million! ”
Kou Zhun's face changed drastically and he took the song from Wang Zeng's hand, and the first few words made him stand in place in a daze.
The reason why he was confident was because he personally inquired about this matter, and also wrote a letter to Wang Lun, and urged Ding Wei to allocate funds from the third division, the whole process was simple and fast, but he didn't expect this to be the result.
That must be Wang Lun's problem!
But later in the article, Wang Lun said that the money of the three divisions was not enough to repair the old embankment......
Wang Zeng took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is caused by Wang Lun's unclear explanation, and the expenses allocated by Kou Xianggong and the three divisions are enough for his use......"
"Full of firewood! When did your Wang Zeng start telling lies, I don't believe you haven't seen Wang Lun's three tricks, the old embankment in the Tang Dynasty is about to rot, he asked the imperial court to allocate funds to rebuild a new embankment! And what about the center? only cares about saving expenses, and the account looks good, but he is forced to repair it, what is the use of repairing the embankment when it is rotten? This time the embankment is broken, and you Zhongshu Province will bear all the blame! Each person will be fined ten pounds of copper and deducted for half a year! ”
Kou Zhun and Wang Zeng glanced at each other, bowed in unison and said, "The minister obeys the order!" ”
They knew that the good days of civil officials were coming to an end, and in the first imperial dynasty, they must have reprimanded Wang Lun instead of the officials of Zhongshu Province.
