"Wan Qiao, what does this Bianjing mean? Why don't you want to be named the king of Wu! So-and-so is already so groveling! Even the taxes are paid on time! He won't? Zhao Gou asked with a somewhat lonely expression.

In addition to Zhao Huan's brother, he also has an elder brother named Zhao Kai, who has died at the hands of Zhao Huan.

At that time, in the Jin barracks, when Wanyan Zongwang, who was not going well, was allied with him by blood, he just wanted to live.

I didn't think about it, but now I have come to this day step by step.

This is all forced by Zhao Huan!

Zhao Gou was very angry, but he was a person who was happy and angry, so he only had a little loneliness on his face.

This loneliness is very capable of bluffing.

"Bai Shizhong, Wang Boyan and others, didn't they all take refuge in the Ninth Prince? As long as we have a little better in the south of the Yangtze River, with the danger of the Yangtze River, how can he cross the river? So the Ninth Prince doesn't have to worry. Wan Qiduo said with a smile.

Jiu Gongzi is still a little anxious, if the joint success is achieved and the established facts are achieved, what else can he Zhao Huan do?

Now the wealth of the whole world is in Jiangnan, the land in his hands Zhao Huan is barren, and there is not much food, how can he fight with his ninth son?

As long as the confrontation lasts for two years, the prince's money and food are exhausted, and it is naturally time for a counterattack.

This is also the reason why Zhao Gou acted like this.

"Liangchuan and Huainan are already under control, the ninth prince can establish himself as the king of Wu, and then spread the word to the world, according to the Yangtze River natural insurance, naturally you can sit back and relax."

"Boost armaments and support people's livelihood. Time is on our side. Wan Qian said comfortingly.

The self-reliance of King Wu is, and the prince's side is not to worry about it at all.

This is Wan Qiao's idea, and it is also Zhao Gou's idea.

"That's it. handed the letter to Wanyan Zongwang in Pingzhou, and said that a certain association would regularly support his grain and grass. Let him continue to test the pressure of the prince. Zhao Gou took out a letter, and he sent a total of three letters to Pingzhou.

As long as one of these three times succeeds, the matter of Pingzhou is enough to settle down.

But Wanyan Zongwang is really disappointing.

Before the 100,000 army was ambushed in Yuguan, he didn't find it, so he didn't complain about the loss of Yan Zongwang.

"The leaders selected by the squire are already waiting in the Vertical Arch Hall of the Imperial Palace, Ninth Prince, do you see if you can meet them?" Wan Qian said.

Zhao Gou had already moved to the Lin'an Palace, so he wanted to meet this group of landlords, squires, outsiders, and merchants who supported him.

In the vertical arch hall, there was a lot of discussion, this is the first time that these squires and outsiders have entered the palace.

They didn't have this qualification before, and they won't have it in the future, unless one day they can roll their names outside the Donghua Gate.

No, now there is no more Donghua Gate.

Since Cai Jing abolished the imperial examination and adopted the system of official examinations, there is no such strategy.

Therefore, the landlords in Jiangnan joined forces, and they were not organized by him Zhao Gou himself.

It was launched by the landlords themselves for a long time.

Since Xuanhe's three years of ten draws and one killing, it has begun.

Zhao Gou just used the inspectors of the Imperial City Division to integrate them together, and then used the name of the Nine Emperor Princes to envelop them around.

"Meet His Royal Highness King Kang." I saw Zhao Gou, who was already wearing a crown dress and a crown facing the sky.

Many squires breathed a sigh of relief, this ninth prince was really seeking to stand on his own, rather than killing them all.

"Get up and speak." Zhao Gou sat on the dragon chair in the palace, twisted his posture slightly unwell before sitting upright and said: "You can come to this vertical arch hall today, it can really be said that the people's hearts are available. ”

Popular hearts are available.

Those mud-legged people are not worthy of being called the people at all, this people are the many squires and outsiders in the vertical arch hall, they are the people.

That's why Zhao Gou has a popular saying.

"The grass people saw the holy face of the ninth prince today, and they were terrified, if the ninth prince was useful, just give orders, we will do our best." Zheng Min said with a smile.

He is a wealthy businessman in Yuezhou, Zheng family, who has made a lot of profits in the silk business in the era, and has a headache for tax inspections every year.

Li Qian of Xiangtan is a tea merchant in Xiangtan, specializing in the wealth of tea bricks, and he can pay millions of taels in taxes every year.

Zhao Gou looked left and right, they were all the mainstays of the Great Song Dynasty!

Why did his brother not pretend to be against them, and even a little hostile to them?

He couldn't figure it out.

"Ninth Prince, I'm waiting for today's face to be a saint, and I only have a few small admonitions." The two wealthy businessmen, led by Deng Min and Li Qian, first put forward their demands.

Their appeal has been discussed a long time ago, and it can be summed up as follows: those who are in power should protect me.

"But there is one thing, you don't have to think about it, salt, iron, and alum are monopolies. Do not want your hands to reach into the monopoly. "Zhao Gou first set the rules, and the monopoly cannot be compromised.

It's just that a few wealthy businessmen smiled, they didn't speak, these are indeed franchised projects in the Great Song Dynasty, but unfortunately they still have to be used to monopolize in the end.

It has always been like this, and the policy of buying determines that they will inevitably get a piece of the pie.

Li Qian bowed his head and said: "The ninth prince is serious, we are not gluttons, so naturally we will not reach out where we shouldn't reach out." ”

And Zheng Min said: "What we want to say is the first to resume the imperial examination. ”

"Since Cai Jing became the prime minister, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty have all come from Enyin and the official examination, and the officialdom and officials protect each other, the relationship is complicated, and the people of the world have suffered Cai Jing for a long time."

"Now that His Royal Highness King Kang is working for the benefit of the people of the world, we naturally hope to reopen the imperial examination."

"Reasonable." Zhao Gou did not agree, but agreed with Zheng Min's point of view.

This is inevitable, and it is only right to reopen the imperial examination and let the people have hope.

Cai Jing's method is really a way to shake the country.

"The second to open a Di shop, this matter was also abolished by Cai Jing, and now there is no Di store, and those of us who do business have no place to put the goods." Li Qian echoed.

Zhao Gou asked in a low voice, "What is Didian?" ”

Wan Qiyu said with a smile: "Di Dian is opened by merchants, and it is a place with a warehouse, a shop, and an inn, and the goods are gathered, and the people can also find a place to sell." For example, this tea house, yarn house, and silk house, etc., Nine Princes. ”

"What a good thing! This Cai Jing is really misleading the country and the people. Zhao Gou shook his head, why should such a good place be abolished?

Seeing that Zhao Gou agreed, Li Qian had a smile on his face, looked left and right and said, "This third thing is called conversion, also known as the tax in kind. ”

"This use physical collateral as a tax has always been a rule since ancient times, and later Cai Jing exchanged all of it for money in order to facilitate corruption. It's really misleading the country and the people. ”

Zhao Gou understood this time, he had already heard of Cai Jing's notoriety.

When I heard that Cai Jing died of illness in Tanzhou, the people lit firecrackers for three days in a row to celebrate.

"It's all trivial. Anything else? Zhao Gou looked at the group of squires below, and felt that his brother was extremely stupid.

I even did this kind of thing, and as a result, this demand is like this.

"No, Ninth Prince, God will be merciful, we will also ask Ninth Prince for approval of these three ideas." Li Qian and the other squires all knelt down and thanked Shengde.

"Cai Jing did everything to get money, it's really hard for you." Zhao Gou shook his head and sighed.

This is the good people of the Great Song Dynasty, those who can't eat enough, they know that it is Diao Min who is making trouble!

Zhao Gou really became more and more satisfied the more he looked at it.
