Liang Shicheng did not have an old friendship with the Hou Mansion, and it was not good to do things, and when he saw the emperor's cold gaze on him, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, and hurriedly said the idea he had thought of in advance to satisfy the emperor's greed and strong hatred, in order to get rid of the crime. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Hou Mansion can't take that money, but where did such a big sum of money come from?

A rich merchant in the capital.

These people are really rich, hundreds of thousands of dollars are said to be taken, and they are taken out in a blink of an eye. It's a pity that I didn't know it before......

Isn't the rich man who committed the crime now in the Kaifeng Mansion prison waiting to be dealt with?

There is no need to kill, beat, or distribute, let them take money to atone for their sins.

After a little intimidation, the money that can be obtained is not countless times richer than the extortion of the Hou Mansion?

When Zhao Ji heard it, he was reasonable.

The substitution of punishment for crime not only teaches the bold rich businessmen a lesson and warns the powerful people who only care about their own interests, but also does not make the powerful people feel cold or even dissent.

That's a good idea.

In fact, Zhao Ji had this idea before, so he strictly ordered Kaifeng Mansion to be optimistic about these rich people, not to abuse them casually, and not to allow the rich to commit suicide or something.

If Liang Shicheng said it, the emperor would maintain a tall and glorious image, not so dirty, otherwise it would be too embarrassing for the emperor to be greedy for people's wealth.

But it was not enough for Liang Shicheng to propose an inner palace eunuch to make this matter above board.

It has to be proposed and endorsed by the prime ministers, so that it can be said reasonably and legally.

Bai Shizhong, Zhang Bangchang and other important civil and military officials, including the representatives of the powerful behind the tycoons, were also urgently summoned to the palace to discuss how to punish the local tyrants who made trouble in the Hou Mansion.

If you want to pay money outside, the magnates behind the rich are not happy. Even if it is the rich who pay the money.

In the hearts of the powerful, the money of the rich family who colluded with them also belongs to them, and they can get it when they want to get it home, but now they just want the rich to work for the time being, so that the rich can temporarily let the rich family settle down and let the rich enjoy it a little. They figured out the emperor's thoughts, but they shut up one by one and pretended to be confused, but they refused to take the initiative to mention it.

Zhao Ji looked at how these powerful people who kept saying how loyal and patriotic they were, his eyes were cold, and the restless anger and breathlessness in his heart rose rapidly, and he couldn't suppress it.

He stared at Zhang Bangchang, who had always shrunk to the second place, and asked in a calm tone, but secretly murderous: "Zhang Qing, you are the deputy minister, what should you do?" ”

Your bastard pig-headed son took the lead in causing trouble, bringing me great troubles and bringing a greater crisis to the Great Song Dynasty, and I haven't settled this account with you yet.

Don't be scheming, shrink your head, be a good person.

At this time, if you dare to maintain the principle of being the second in ten thousand years and do not satisfy my wishes, I will forcibly pull you back as a victim of suffering.

If you don't believe me, you can be bold and try to provoke me.

Zhang Bangchang sensed the emperor's ruthless intentions, swallowed his saliva nervously, thought about it and quickly pondered it, and had to pick out his head to suggest.

"Shengshang, according to Weichen's view, those rich businessmen don't know the general situation, don't understand politics, don't understand the difficulties faced by the Great Song Dynasty, they are blinded by lard, and they impulsively make trouble for small profits, although this crime is serious, but they are ignorant and have made great contributions to the country's taxes, I respectfully ask the saint to forgive them and give them a chance to make up for their mistakes."

"What the rich businessmen are plotting is nothing more than the secret means of the Cangzhao family to make a fortune, and they have no political intentions.

Zhao Ji snorted, but pretended to be puzzled, and asked: "Then according to Zhang Qing, how can those bold and reckless cheap businessmen atone for their sins and learn enough lessons in terms of copper smell?" ”

It is enough to teach four words, Zhao Ji said very seriously.

There was also unquenchable anger in his tone.

As soon as the magnates heard this, their faces trembled, knowing that this time the emperor was going to cut the meat with the handle.

Zhang Bangchang was also trembling.

In the threat of the powerful staring at him and hating him alive, Zhang Bangchang responded to the emperor's question with difficulty: "Minister, the minister's intention is naturally to impose heavy fines, and they will not forget the pain, and they will not dare to think about it when they think of this loss of money in the future." ”

Zhao Ji snorted, seeing that Zhang Bangchang was interested, he no longer made things too difficult for him, and glanced at the two children of the Ministry of Officials and the Criminal Department Shangshu who also took the lead in participating in the trouble, and asked by name: "Do the two Aiqing agree with Zhang Qing's suggestion?" ”

How dare these two say nothing,

Hurriedly expressed his approval, saying that this move showed benevolence, wisdom and generosity, gave the rich merchant a chance to live, the court was grateful and supported, and the finances were also rich......

In short, the strategy of imposing fines could not be better, showing the ruling wisdom and demeanor of the great powers of the Celestial Empire.

However, what Zhao Ji likes at this time is not to sing praises and praise sycophants, but only to care about practical benefits, and asked: "Then according to your opinion, how much should be fined?" ”

"This, this, that......."

Zhao Ji snorted coldly, staring at these two guys coldly, and said in his heart: At this juncture, you dare to play tricks and fool me? You don't want to live, do you?

forced the two Shangshu to increase the amount of fines again and again, from 50,000 to 500,000, Zhao Ji no longer snorted coldly, turned his head and glanced at the powerful people who dared to threaten Zhang Bangchang and the two Shangshu with their eyes, and pointed to the most prominent boss: "Liu Qing, I see that you seem to have different opinions, could it be a better way?" ”

"Speak up and let the secretaries hear."

"Actually, I was very angry and disappointed. also did not agree with Zhang Qing's substitution of punishment for crime. ”

"Dare to openly rob the Hou Mansion under my nose?"

"What is this? This is an attempt to rebel. In my opinion, not killing or copying the whole family is not enough to wake up and teach a lesson. ”

What's wrong? I only punish your family's money rake and some money, and you don't want to?

I'm not satisfied.

Well, I will simply kill all those cheap merchants who feel that they have two dollars and they don't know what their surnames are, and confiscate all their family property, so that you people who only know money, wealth, pleasure, and don't know loyalty will die of heartache, and your heart will hurt enough.

Mere unscrupulous businessmen only have money and backers in their eyes, and dare to ignore me? You magnates dare to ignore the security of the country and provoke me for selfish interests?

I will let you know the power of the Emperor's national law.

I used to be so indulgent and indulgent to you that you forgot to have the reverence.

The representative of the powerful and powerful was not frightened, did not give up, and wanted to gather the interests of many powerful people to resist the emperor's intentions, and just opened his mouth to say something, he heard the emperor say again: "Kaifeng Mansion Yin Xu Bingzhe." ”

Xu Bingzhe hurriedly said respectfully: "Weichen is here." ”

Zhao Ji said in a dark voice: "Arrest all the criminal rich businessmen, you did a good job." Continue.

Then I will investigate in detail the reasons why these damned businessmen dare to forcibly seize the Longtuge University scholars as untouchables, and dare to provoke the laws and regulations of the country, and dig out all the conspiracy and characters behind the scenes, and I will punish them severely.

Otherwise, some people have lived a prosperous and stable life for too long, and feel that everything should be obtained by him, and they will become ignorant of the heavens and the earth, and they will not remember the emperor's grace. ”

“…… Obey the order. ”

"Also, after finding out, I approved it. Kill the damned ones immediately. All the distribution of the distribution of Wen Chenghou was filled with the army, and they were asked to apologize to the great hero of the Great Song Dynasty, Gong Lian Aiqing, and be punished in person. Let them also know what is the danger of suffering at the border pass, what is the loyalty and patriotism, and understand who is the loyal courtier and cadre who should enjoy the glory of high-ranking officials. ”

The more Zhao Ji spoke, the more angry he became, his eyes fiercely scanned the magnates who were raised in vain and fat, and were useless in the national disaster, and said in his heart: "In the past, I always thought that you were all talented people who were sincere in seeking the country, and I felt that even talents like the reserve prime minister and general were not lacking, so I felt that Zhao Gonglian was not so important, but today I realized that you are all standing in the ranks of the court, and you are all the waste of the corpse vegetarian meal." You wastes don't have the consciousness of waste, you enjoy the high-ranking officials, you don't know what your surname is, and you are useless, but you dare not know loyalty and respect at a critical juncture? So what's the use of me keeping you?

Does it cost money to raise food in vain?

If it weren't for the fact that you were all waste, how could I have no one to replace Zhao Gonglian?

How could it be that the Cangzhao family could not help the vicious breath that dared to hold back my grievances?

What a bunch of damn shit......"

When the magnates heard this, they immediately withered.

It is impossible for the emperor to bring out so many powerful people behind the rich merchants to settle accounts, otherwise the Great Song Dynasty will also fall.

But it is possible to kill a few key points and copy the family.

Perhaps the emperor was deliberately determined to do it.

When it really comes, don't say anything else, only send Zhao Gonglian, that family is kind but also fierce and daring, and will never be polite. Then, the wife and daughter of the guilty minister will be greatly dishonored, and I will be worse off than death.

The representative of the powerful surnamed Liu, who was on the cusp of the storm, was afraid that he would become the chicken that set an example for the monkey, so he was so frightened that he sweated like rain, his fat face was as white as paper, and he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to express his attitude: Those rich businessmen should be punished, and they should be punished severely. The fine of 500,000 yuan is very reasonable, and it will definitely be able to punish the rich businessman for bankruptcy, and who dares not to learn a lesson?

Other magnates, including Bai Shizhong, were also so frightened that they knelt down to the ground, begging the emperor not to stir up the army when the current national crisis was at hand, or to punish instead of crime.

The ministers were honest, Zhao Ji felt more comfortable at this time, pretended to agree reluctantly, and instructed Xu Bingzhe to handle this matter well

Liang Shicheng is naturally the supervisor.

Half of this fine shall be paid to Ouchi.

The half handed over to the imperial court, from which 600,000 yuan was taken out to buy the Hou Mansion in a private name, in order to show the favor of the imperial court, and the heart of Zhao Gonglian coaxed to use the support to tide over the difficulties.

The right to buy a house should be a reward for the imperial court to help the Cangzhao family tide over the difficulties.

Besides, the Hou Mansion is by no means worth more than 600,000 guan. In the future, if you sell it, you will make a lot of money, which is also a good thing from a business point of view.

As for hostage-taking, forget it.

If Zhao really defected to the Great Song Dynasty, these hostages and servants in the Hou Mansion were afraid that they would take the initiative to commit suicide to relieve the scruples of the master's family, and it would be useless to hold on to it, it would only make Zhao Gonglian angry and more suspicious, so it was better to let him stay.

It is a show of grace, and the most taboo is to do half and leave half of it unwillingly.

Put out the trust frame, then put it clearly and thoroughly.

Otherwise, it may not make the shrewd Zhao Gonglian still have illusions.

Of course, Zhao Ji will not passively listen to Zhao Gonglian's consciousness.

It was ordered to select a number of cadres from the Imperial Palace Guards such as the Beijing Army and the Japanese Army to be transferred to Qingzhou to install important positions in the army, and cooperate with Gao Jiguang, the son of the founding commander of the Gao family, and the deputy generals and eunuchs of the loyal imperial court, to further grasp the military power of Qingzhou and prevent Zhao Gonglian from rebelling.

Ordered Quan Kuniyan to send the salaries owed to the Qingzhou army to Qingzhou with the generals sent to Qingzhou, appease the Qingzhou army, and let the generals who brought money to the army quickly gain a firm foothold in the army.

As for the huge military rewards and pensions, etc., we will see the situation again.

The imperial court is face-saving, and it can't be forced by the Hou government to obey and meet all the requirements of Qingzhou.

It was also a means of pinning down and warning the Cheongju army.

In the eyes of your border army, there are border ministers first, and then there is the imperial court, which is an irreversible reality, and the same is true for the western army, but it is only beneficial to act honestly and obey the imperial court first. Zhao Gonglian is bankrupt, but he doesn't have so much money to reward you border soldiers. Nor did he dare to reward privately. Only by being loyal to the imperial court can there be a future and a way to make money.

Zhao Ji arranged it, and his mood was a lot smoother. Liang Shicheng had a chance to make a big profit, and he couldn't squeak, and he forgot to pretend to be limping when he left the emperor.

But the rich in prison wept.

Although the food and clothing are smooth, and there are beautiful women to serve, but this is also a prison cell, there is no freedom to worry about it, not to mention, the fingers that were cut off by the murderers of the Hou Mansion hurt badly, no one was really cut off ears and gouged out eyes and noses, but ten fingers are connected to the heart, this sin is enough to bear, there is food, wine and beauty, but somehow there is no sense of taste, and there is no ability to taste beauty.

This sin is endurable. Gritted his teeth and passed. In the future, I will always try to take revenge on the Hou Mansion and return the shame of today's pain tenfold and hundredfold.

Unexpectedly, the money that was blackmailed by the Hou Mansion and handed over after making a temporary concession not only had no chance to be recouped exponentially, but was already heartbroken, and the court also reached out and wanted it more ruthlessly.

These wealthy merchants, any one of them, also has a family property of more than one million, but it is not cash, the fixed assets of the store, and the goods are staked...... That's a lot of it.

Among them, many families can indeed take out millions of cash casually, but the greedy prime minister Liang Shicheng is also reaching out, asking for no less than the imperial court, but there are no hard indicators, but looking at the old eunuch's frame, I am afraid that he will be satisfied if he can't extort these rich businessmen who fall into his hands.

None of the powerful backers that the rich were counting on did not appear at this time, at most a slave came to suggest that the saint was murderous, and the fine was already a forgiveness that the magnates had tried their best to earn, or pay the money honestly, and don't provoke the emperor to be angry, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. Don't worry, I am covering you, and I am still your most staunch backer, as long as you escape this catastrophe, you will have a trick.

However, no powerful person dared to challenge the authority of the prime minister at this time to stop Liang Shicheng from becoming a black hand.

The newly appointed Kaifeng Mansion Yin Xu Bingzhe was more docile and obedient in front of Liang Shicheng, like a dog.

The rich people strongly feel that they have been abandoned by the powerful backers, and today they know how shameless, ruthless and unreliable these powerful families are.

The emperor has a gloomy face, but he is making a fortune.

The magnates are smiling on their faces, but their hearts are dripping blood.

The Hou Mansion accidentally collected the money to buy a house, but did not immediately evacuate the capital, and collected the items in the house that could not be taken away and sold them in the market with tears.

There is an eerie picture in the city of Tokyo.
