If you have the eye of God, look down and observe the appearance of the vast number of living beings on the earth, you will find that human beings are intelligent beings, rulers of the earth, the top life of the food chain, and the existence of independent initiative to control and change the living environment. However, he is still involuntarily and passively living in the rolling dynasty of the era of human society, success and failure, honor and disgrace, joy, anger and sorrow, birth, old age, sickness and death, and is not dominated by wisdom, struggle, and independent initiative. Writing, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info subjective and objective things of human beings form a single word - fate, unpredictable, mysterious, and no one can really grasp it.

Well, that's a pessimistic statement. But real events are always playing out, ruthlessly demonstrating the impermanence of fate again and again.

Zhao Gonglian's vernacular twists and turns led to subversive and bad consequences, self-destruction of the future, and the political wing forces formed by more than ten years of hard work fell apart in a blink of an eye.

"The conceit is high, and the arrogance is extremely calamity. In an instant, the trees fell and scattered. Sooner or later. The old man had expected it. ”

In the Cangzhou Mansion, the prefect Zheng Juzhong's face was full of irrepressible joy, and he enjoyed the feeling of being drunk and high/tide in his heart, but he tried his best to put on the image of a wise man and a chic and free Zhuge Liang, and made such an evaluation of the stone rune training of the soldiers and horses.

In order to jointly cover up the truth of the incident, stabilize the situation in Cangzhou, which has fallen into collapse, and keep their power and future, they have to be more tolerant and compromise with each other, and collude closely. Recently, Shi Fulian used the officers installed at home to finally completely control the Cangzhou Army and became the veritable boss of the Cangzhou Army. And Zheng Juzhong also survived the political crisis and further held the Cangzhou regime firmly in the palm of his hand. In this crisis, the two sides got along well and helped each other, and it can be said that each took what it needed, so there was more tacit understanding, the relationship was closer, and the collusion and cooperation were closer.

Zhao Gonglian, who is self-defeating, has been the first rat at both ends, vainly trying to meet the source left and right, not only hugging the thigh of the future prime minister Zhao Gonglian but also satisfying the emperor at the moment, so as to seek the greatest benefit of Shi Fu Lian After being stunned, he couldn't help but laugh at Cangzhao in the end, he was a dirt bun, and suddenly became a political genius, but he lacked political background and experience, after all, he could not compare with an old political old fritter family like his family, in an extremely cruel and complex political career, the shrewd one was confused for a while, and complained willfully, but only this one trick was careless, and he lost everything, From heaven to hell in a blink of an eye.

Evil perverted emperor, Zhao Gonglian's ending is doomed and useless.

Shi Fulian didn't have the slightest sympathy for his old boss, let alone help him openly or secretly, but let out a sigh of relief, great, he no longer had to be caught in the middle of the dilemma, he was as serious as Zheng Juzhong on the surface, but he gloated in his heart, and despised and ridiculed Cangzhao.

He has no expectations and jealousy of Zhao Gonglian in his heart, and the two of them finally have no interest barrier, sitting together today, everything is self-explanatory, and since then they have completely colluded closely, tacitly and jointly began to eyeing the fat sheep of Cangzhao, fabricating charges in advance, just waiting for the emperor to not need Zhao Gonglian, he immediately created an incident and took the blame, and pounced on it to bite the fatal first bite, so that he could not only make meritorious contributions to the emperor's favor, but also be able to devour the most eye-catching wealth skills of the Cangzhao family, and eat enough at one time. Fame and fortune.

Is there anything cheaper, easier, more exciting, and more rewarding than this?

Cangzhao, who is hard-working, upright, benevolent, benevolent and kind-......., has worked hard for several generations to make a wedding dress for others.

The good name of benevolence has no resistance to politics and the emperor's will, and it is useless in terms of substantive interests.

When an official is engaged in politics, the most important thing is to satisfy the emperor and conform to the overall interests of the bureaucratic ruling class, so the principle of the famous ministers throughout the ages is to satisfy the emperor and safeguard the interests of the rule, rather than whether the people are dissatisfied or not.

Fan Zhongyan, who was praised as a living saint and a model of a scholar in the Great Song Dynasty, engaged in innovation, offended the interests of the bureaucracy and magnates, with such a great reputation and such a high reputation, for the long-term fundamental interests of the Great Song Dynasty, not for personal gain, but not because he was so old, so depressed and tired by the emperor's will, and he was also degraded to the northwest border pass to drink wind and eat sand to resist the barbaric Western Xia, risking anxiety day and night, and finally died of grievance and exhaustion?

Fan Zhongyan's credit is so great, and he is so loved by the people, but what can future generations get? Where are the descendants of the Fan family?

I haven't heard of it for many years, and perhaps the famous home of the living saints of the present day has decayed and died of poverty in the past. Who still remembers the Fan family's meritorious deeds and kindness? From the emperor to the bureaucracy, they have long forgotten that the Great Song Dynasty once had such a model family of benevolence and virtue.

This is an example of this.

The ridiculous Tubaozi Cangzhao family can't see through the essence of politics, and has not learned a lesson to master the essence of playing politics, starting with benevolence, virtue and loyalty, but naively wants to still use this light to light the lintel and his descendants, and has contributed countless benefits and wisdom to the emperor and the Great Song Dynasty in the past 20 years, which has greatly influenced and changed all aspects of the Great Song Dynasty's politics, economy, education, and people's livelihood. It has won the praise and love of the people all over the world, and even moved to foreign lands, so that foreign enemies have respect and admiration, but the ending is only afraid that it will be worse than Fan Laozi's family, and it has become another example of political teaching materials that officials need to know.

While Zheng Juzhong and Shi Fulian were self-satisfied and despised Cangzhao, while thinking about this incident, they couldn't help but feel a chill on their backs and a cold sweat broke out in their hearts.

Zhao Gonglian is such a rare talent, and the Cangzhao family has made such a great contribution to the country, but only because of a resignation with implicit resentment, the emperor said that he turned his face ruthlessly and arranged a dead hand......

"Tsk, it's really the most ruthless emperor's family. The emperor's heart is unpredictable. Nearest the king nearest the gallows. ”

Both of them let out a silent sigh in their hearts, and they were vigilant.

Because of this warning, Zheng Juzhong's original plan to strangle Cangzhao's business, cut off Cangzhao's political influence and control over Cangzhou, satisfy the emperor's thoughts, and then successfully return to the capital as a privy envoy, and continue to enjoy the prosperity of the capital's plan has changed a little, and he is still eager for promotion but not so enthusiastic about being the commander-in-chief of the Great Song Dynasty.

Nowadays, the thieves of the Great Song Dynasty are everywhere, there are many cottages in the north and south of the river, and there are more Tian Hu and Wang Qing, two thieves, who openly raise the banner to rebel and tear the land and claim the king, there are many generals and generals, all of them are fierce, and the power is good, not to mention that it is difficult for the officials and troops to exterminate it, and they are defeated and defeated, and several state capitals have fallen, and the two thieves have become powerful, and it is difficult to deal with.

Since the last big defeat of the Western Army, it has lost 100,000 elites, which also proves that it has begun to decline, and it is no longer brave and good at fighting in the past, and under the continuous attack of the Xia thieves, it is good to be able to defend the northwest, and it is impossible to draw troops to eradicate these two strong bandits in the country.

The combat effectiveness of the Northern Army was not very strong, and it was faced with the threat of plundering the Liao army that was driven crazy by the Jurchens to make up for the wealth and materials at the moment and the pressure and warning of the Great Song Dynasty with military might. The Liao State was even more intent on taking revenge on the damage and losses caused to them by Cangzhao.....

Tsk, the Great Song Dynasty seems to be stable and prosperous on the surface, but in fact, it is difficult at home and abroad, and there are great dangers and difficulties.

In this situation, whoever is the privy envoy is afraid that he will be roasted on the fire. I am afraid that the taste is not the pleasure of enjoying the glory of power, but the torment of living like a year.

After thinking about it thoroughly, Zheng Juzhong became more and more indifferent to the highest military power position.

The emperor still wants to use Zhao Gonglian, but during this time, he can no longer offend Cangzhao, he has to put away his minions and gather momentum, and then he will strike a fatal blow and settle all the humiliation. What we have to do now is to take advantage of the precious opportunity in Cangzhou to work hard to make enough money, enrich our children and grandchildren, and return to Beijing to be an emperor's favored minister, rich and idle, and live freely if you are not an official, this is the best policy.

Shi Fu Lian knows that his talents are limited, he does not have high expectations for his career, and his mind is also focused on making money. After making enough money in the place, he took the opportunity to go back to the capital to be promoted to an official and enjoy his happiness leisurely.

As a result, the two hit it off and became more and more embarrassed.

What made the two of them miserable was that the overseas smuggling, which they had the most hope of making a windfall, had disappeared in the past few months, and they could not even see a smuggling ship on the sea.

The Cangzhao Navy is busy with the immigration of the peninsula and has no time for sea trade. The Great Song people don't know this. Zheng and Shi can only guess, disappointed, dry and eager day and night.

There was no hope outside, and perhaps no smuggling ships would ever arrive again. That to the inside?

Zheng Juzhong couldn't help but blush.

With his hard work, Cangzhao Commerce's business in Cangzhou disappeared. In the past, the traffic driven by Cangzhao business was huge, and the transactions were huge and active, and all of them were gone.

And Fucheng Commerce was first played to death by Zheng Juzhong officials. The big commercial households in Fucheng were all destroyed by the previous kidnapping disaster and immediately raided their homes.

This was followed by the economic firefighting of the five counties that changed officials.

Zheng Juzhong pinched Cangzhao business, from last year to the present, the only result is that Cangzhou business once returned to the pre-liberation period.

The few remaining businesses are just local self-produced and self-sold, selling grain, cloth, and other old businesses that have existed for hundreds or thousands of years.

Cangzhou has a developed water system, many rivers, and the production of grain and mulberry hemp, so it is not a problem not to encounter a catastrophe year, and the profits of this kind of trading are naturally high. There is no prosperity and profiteering driven by Cangzhao business. The commercial tax revenue that the Great Song Dynasty relied on the most was that.

We can no longer engage in the killing of chickens and eggs to collect eggs and expropriate them violently. Otherwise, even this bit of business foundation will be played, and you won't be able to play in the future, so how can you engage in taxes?

Zheng Juzhong and Shi Fulian couldn't help but keep their eyes on those large carriage and horse inns.

These inns were born because Cheongju and other northern border passes were open to horse politics and commerce, and they prospered because of the gathering of horse dealers. This is also the industrial chain driven by Zhao Gonglian for the Great Song Dynasty and the development of the border region's economy, which is rich and strong, and at the same time benefits the people of his hometown and Cangbei District.

But now the tide of horse trafficking has passed.

The Liao State blocked the border gates and forbade trade because of the horse trafficking incident, focusing on cracking down on the horse thief gang of the Great Song Dynasty. If the heavy tax on the inn is brought down, not to mention that it will anger Zhao Gonglian, the fierce Cangzhou people alone are not easy to cause trouble.

Seeing that the time to pay the summer tax is approaching step by step. Cangzhou used to be a high tax set by the imperial court because of its prosperity, how can it be paid now?

The emperor only cares about whether the local government pays the money he enjoys, and he doesn't care what causes your taxes to drop sharply this year.

There are no natural disasters, the taxes that Zhao Gonglian can pay when he is in office, aren't you Zheng Juzhong also a capable minister? You have to be able to pay it, too. I don't have the ability to pay more, at least I can't pay less.

Cai Jing, who is blind to money all day long, and other powerful ministers will not care if you are unable to complete the tax task because of the secret order to suppress Cangzhao.

In recent years, because of the existence of Cangzhao, the people of Cangzhou have not been arbitrarily exploited by the government, and the sources of income are wide and high, and the whole is richer than the people in the prosperous areas of the south of the Yangtze River.

This is also a favorable condition for tax collection.

Zheng Juzhong really wanted to impose harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, pick up taxes from the people, and at the same time make money for himself. Because of this, my eyes are gradually red.

But he consulted with Lao Tongju, and tentatively said that he wanted to arrange the new types of taxes, secretly promised benefits, and wanted to obtain the support of the second-in-command who restrained his power, Lao Tongju was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled, and only said lightly: "Fuzun, this is Cangzhou, it is very dangerous." The subordinates are old and timid. He said nothing else, shook his head behind his back, and walked straight away, without further discussion.

With Zheng Juzhong's foundation and strength in the imperial court, without the support of the old judge, he can still arbitrarily carry out exorbitant taxes and loot land. But he hesitated.

Cangzhou is dangerous.

The people here are brave to resist the Liao Kou, but also can effectively fight the Liao army, the people are strong, under the governance of Zhao Gonglian, the villages and towns are lined with strong forts, the rural armed forces are strong, the people are strong and not afraid of death, and they have formed a sense of resisting the corruption and corruption of the government. If the government dares to come hard, the people will dare to resist.

If you are in a hurry, there will be a civil uprising, and it is conceivable that the people of Cangzhou will collectively rebel against taxes, even if they must be suppressed by the imperial court, the local parents and officials will be unlucky, and their reputation alone will be stinky.

What's even more terrifying is that during the civil uprising, Liao Kou took the opportunity to attack the city and loot, which would be fatal.

The Mozhou Liao army is afraid that there will not be a day when they don't want to destroy Cangzhou, and they will spit out the hatred and anger that have accumulated over the years.

Zheng Juzhong now really understands Cangzhou, and no longer has the confidence that the Cangzhou people who can deter the Liao army that can block the fierce and wild can fight with 10,000 horses in Cangzhou, and they can't beat it nine times out of ten. The army alone could not stop the Liao army.

If the Liao army comes, the vast number of Cangzhou people and the people will laugh and watch the city being attacked, hoping that the government will be killed and robbed by the Liao army.......

Sizzle-

Zheng Juzhong thought about the people in Manfu City now, whether they were officials or people, they were all greedy and selfish people who came here to make a lot of money when Cangzhou was an adventurer's paradise, and they were not the old Cangzhou people who united to protect their homeland and dare to resist aggression in the past.

He grew more and more frightened, and realized that he was beginning to reap the consequences.

But you have to find a way to get together and pay the tax. You have to get enough money.

Zheng Juzhong can only brace up his spirit and strive for both public and private tasks.

What he hated was that all these problems were caused by Cangzhao in the final analysis, and the revenge became more and more ruthless. (To be continued.) )
