"Official, don't be angry, listen to the ministers slowly." Zong Ze inserted the incense in his hand into the incense burner and asked with a smile.

Zhao Huan waited for Zong Ze to pay respects to these soldiers and doctors who died in the war epidemic before walking to the small pavilion on the side of the mountain.

"The officials, the magistrates and some officials left by the ministers, in the eyes of the ministers, they are not guilty." Zong Ze said with a smile.

Zhao Huan looked at Zong Ze suspiciously, and said with a little urgency: "They didn't participate in the buying and selling of people, but sitting and watching the price of grain on pasture land skyrocket, isn't this a dereliction of duty?" Even if the grain that is often closed is locked, they refuse to release grain to help stabilize grain prices, they are not dereliction of duty and connivance at grain merchants to raise grain prices, what are they? Why are they innocent! ”

"They don't have any grain to put in them, because there is no grain in the canopy." Zong Ze replied to Zhao Huan quietly.

This made Zhao Huan can't help but think of the fire on Hedong Road at the beginning, and today he heard the original incident again from the Jinghu Two Roads.

"Where's the grain?" Zhao Huan asked subconsciously.

Zong Ze sighed and said: "There has been no grain in these granaries that are often closed for many years, and they have all been sold clean during the Daguan years, which is a deficit, and the later magistrates can only make up for the deficit, and they can't make up for the shortfall." There is no grain at all in the Changping warehouse on Jinghu South Road, so they can only sit and watch the price of grain skyrocket. If the official family and the minister are the governors of the county, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that Hetao transported 200,000 stone rice noodles to Jinghu, this Jinghu Lake would still be chaotic, grain prices would still be high, and the people would not be able to make a living. Speaking of which, it is still a gallop made by the official family on a temporary basis, and if the grain is a few days late, the spring plowing will be delayed, and it will be even more troublesome. ”

Zhao Huan nodded, Zong Ze's reason was very sufficient, he thought about it and said: "Then let's do it, the position of the imperial historian in Yuwen Xuzhong can't be kept, he is the imperial historian, supervising hundreds of officials, since Zong Xianggong wants to protect the county affairs, then Yuwen Xianggong's imperial historian can't keep it." ”

Someone must be responsible for the lack of grain in the granary of Ezhou, Yuwen Xuzhong has been in Yanjing for a long time, busy with anti-osmosis and the construction of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, where is there time to take care of the supervision of hundreds of officials, so he simply gave Yuwen Xuzhong some burden.

"Official, the key is how to solve the deficit and the repeated theft and sale of this often closed position. Before entering Beijing, the minister wrote such a notebook, and the official family took a look. Zong Ze took out a notebook from his sleeve.

After Zhao Huan read through it, he couldn't help nodding again and again, and said, "Good strategy, good strategy!" After tomorrow's court meeting, it will be carried out. ”

Zong Ze's notebook is actually very simple, the Imperial City Division sent personal officials, following the officials of the Great Song Dynasty's various economic envoys, to find out the specific situation of Changping's position, and report in detail to Changping's grain storage.

If it is empty, it can only be blamed for the past.

Because Zong Ze knew that Cai Jing wanted to make money for the Emperor Taishang back then, most of the Chang Ping positions of the Great Song Dynasty were empty during the Daguan and Xuanhe periods, and if he really wanted to be held responsible, he had to go to Genyue Palace.

Zhao Huan is also very clear about this, and now this batch of envoys has changed their stubble, so they can only blame the past, or they will buy Genyue Palace to make up for this shortfall.

It's a pity that Zhao Huan dares to sell it, and no one in the Great Song Dynasty dares to sell it.

After the grain that was often closed was replenished, Zong Ze proposed a special regulation for supervising food security and supplementing the "Song Criminal System" of the Great Song Dynasty.

Jing: Jing slightly envoy; Ji: Ceres, grain; Examination: Examination of the school.

The core of the "Economic Examination" is the reserve of the school that must be tested before and after the transfer, and this grain reserve is linked to the economic strategy, but if there is any problem, the economic strategy will be responsible for it.

Zhao Huan beckoned to Zhao Ying, who was standing in the distance, asked him to come over, and said to him, "I can't wait to sell Genyue Palace and make up for this money." Zhao Ying, come here, you have prepared some silver dollars of about 20 million to 30 million, and you need to make up for the shortfall recently. ”

"Yes." Zhao Ying didn't know what the official family wanted to do with the money, but the money in the internal treasury was indeed the official's, and Zhao Ying withdrew after speaking.

The bead in Zong Ze's hand stopped, and said, "Does Zhao Du know that he has hated the official family?" ”

When he was incense just now, he saw that Zhao Ying was standing in a different position, and now seeing that Zhao Ying actually retreated, he naturally knew that something was wrong.

Zhao Huan nodded, and explained Wang Qi's matter thoroughly, Zhao Ying insisted on killing the chicken to show the monkey, Zhao Huan didn't agree, and it was a bit of trouble in the past two days.

Zong Ze thought for a long time before saying, "Official, kill Wang Qi." ”

Well?

Zhao Huan looked at Zong Ze, who had white temples and a little kindness, and had a lot of question marks in his heart, is this still the Zong Ze he knows who is full of living shrines on both roads in Hedong and Hebei Jinghu?

"He's unfaithful. Don't kill it. Zong Ze gave the official family a reason to kill Wang Qi.

Zhao Huan shook his head and said: "Wang Qi is conscientious, loyal and capable in the Northern Expedition, and there is no merit and hard work. ”

Zong Ze looked at the official family, and then looked at the green forest under the Loyal Soul Mountain, and the endless stream of worshippers walked through the stele forest, and couldn't help but say with some emotion: "The official family, the Shaobao said that the Great Song Dynasty has an official family, which is the luck of the Great Song Dynasty, which is very clear. The official family is benevolent, the ordinary alley is strange, Chen Luoqi, and several buildings play orchestras. On the day of the world's peaceful events, the duck flowers sleep infinitely. ”

"This is the grand scene of the Great Song Dynasty, the four seas are peaceful, the people are happy, the monarch is good, but the official family has thought about it, if this person is alive, if this matter is known by others, it will be out of order. It is the duty of a courtier to be loyal and do his best, and if he can't even do this, what kind of courtier is he? ”

"The loyal people of the Great Song Dynasty are cold-hearted, merit is merit, and passing is excessive, and the unpredictable method that Zhao Du knows actually gives Wang Qi dignity."

Zhao Huan thought for a long time, carefully savored Zong Ze's words, and asked: "But if I instruct Zhao Ying to do such an unforeseen thing, wouldn't it be a person with lofty ideals who will serve the country with fists in the world?" ”

"Li Xiang has always advised me to be ruthless, but if I am ruthless here, the Great Song Dynasty will be ruthless, and the Great Song Dynasty will be ruthless by 100%, and everyone will be in danger at that time, isn't it dangerous?"

Zong Ze looked at the official family in the prime of life, he was confused, and his face was full of smiles, before Zhao Huan ascended the throne, he actually had very low expectations for the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, in fact, the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty did not have very high expectations for the emperor.

But the officials greatly exceeded their expectations.

Zong Ze said with a smile: "Official, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faith, loyalty, filial piety, piety, moderation, forgiveness, bravery, and let are the order of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"The thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, this is not the right punishment, and the things that the official family expected will not happen."
