Chapter 378: If you want to get rich, build roads first

"Who did it?" Zhao Huan was stunned, this Han envoy who was loyal to Jinting died like this?

Why don't you feel embarrassed, even a hint of joy?

Shen Cong bowed his head and said: "Last night, someone reported that they heard the sound of swords and axes, and this morning thirty miles away from the post station, the abandoned corpses found had already been experienced, and they died from the sharp blades of swords and axes. The murder took place in the box of Fengming Tower, and the attack was extremely decisive. The bloodstains at the scene have not dried up to this day. ”

"The golden envoy has been skinned." Shen Cong added cautiously.

Zhao Huan was a little hesitant, at this time, should he be more sad and send a eulogy to Jin Ting?

Or just laugh outright?

Let's laugh.

Zhao Huan was inexplicably happy about the death of the golden envoy.

"Bury it, watch out for the plague. Check who did it to file a file, after all, it was a homicide case. Zhao Huan waved his hand indifferently and let Shen Cong leave.

The source of the two countries' wars comes from the Spring and Autumn Rites.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Hua Yuan went to the Chu army camp as an envoy to negotiate, demanding that the Chu army withdraw from the Song capital and the two countries ceased fighting, while Hua Yuan went to live in Chu as a hostage.

As for its logic, it is probably to keep a medium of communication with each other to prevent the embarrassing situation of not being able to communicate when both parties do not want to fight.

The messenger is like a phone in later generations, and he generally doesn't want to talk about it, just like Zhao Huan, he doesn't call directly, or he hangs up the phone after the conversation collapses, and few people will choose to drop the phone.

The messenger is a typical tool man.

And the art of war has a cloud, the first army to fight and strategize, the second to fight and the second to cut the army, war is only a means, for the extension of politics, for the concept of politics.

The rules of the game, which gradually evolved, became a representative of etiquette.

Only when the city is extremely defended, will it be killed, completely cut off its own back road, no negotiation, no compromise, no surrender, either you die or I live.

For example, when Wang Jian was defending Diaoyu City, he personally executed and killed Meng Ge's envoy to boost morale.

But Zhao Huan really thinks that there is nothing to talk about with Jin Guo, everyone has played this part, what else to talk about?

But if he doesn't answer the phone, he won't answer the phone, but someone dropped the phone for him.

Zhao Huan doesn't care, but the murderer has to find out.

"Check it out and bring more people. Let's move on. Zhao Huan asked Shen Cong to investigate the case.

With many actions to fight evil, Bianjing has gradually been firmly held in the palm of the hand by the Kaifeng Mansion and the Imperial City Division.

Since the incident of Ten Thousand Dao Liu, Li Gang has turned the entire Bianjing City upside down.

It's really turned upside down, all the sewers have been touched and drained, and the harvest is quite rich, and the roads are built on a large scale, basically digging the mouse holes in the ground.

"Dazai, this road to Bianjing City, I remember that when the official family returned from the expedition, you repaired it once, why did you build it again?" Liu Chengqing stood up and said.

Liu Chengqing had this question, and Wu Tong, the third envoy of Ji Province, also stood up and said: "Official, there is a joke here. ”

Zhao Huan was silent, he seemed to have brought a not very good atmosphere, he was not very good at quoting scriptures, so he was used to telling stories.

As a result, Wu Tong, the three envoys, told me a joke in this Wende Palace!

The Ministry of Planning was responsible for the tax audit of the Great Song Dynasty, which was equivalent to the Ministry of Finance in later generations.

Wu Tong was in charge of the three envoys, he was Zhao Ji's old minister, and the inspector of the Imperial City Division, and he didn't turn over any bad accounts from him.

There is no corruption, nor does he eat cards, he has worked hard for several years, and he lives with abacus. It's also a breeze on both sleeves.

When Li Gang entered Beijing at the Eight Gates and was attacked, Wu Tong did not go along with it, but did not say a word ugly.

Zhao Ji has a nest of traitorous ministers, and Wu Tong is one of the few ministers with clean sleeves.

In the political environment at that time, it was extremely rare for Wu Tong to be able to do this.

"Tell me about it." Zhao Huan opened the notebook handed over by Ji Province, which wrote in detail about the cost of road repair, Jinqiao and Silver Road, the cost is indeed very large.

Wu Tong stood up, saluted to the official family, and then saluted Li Gang and said: "The official, the minister's words are not good, but it is also for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji." ”

"The joke goes like this, there is a bridge in Chenzhou, which collapses every year and is repaired every year."

"A scholar didn't know why this was the case, so he asked the local people, a child, put a piece of pork belly in the scholar's hand, and motioned for the scholar to put it in the ice jian."

The scholar did so, and the boy motioned for the scholar to take out the meat again, and the scholar did so. The boy motioned for the scholar to put the meat in the ice again, and the scholar did so. After repeating it several times, the scholar finally got impatient and asked, "Childish foolish?" ”

The childish boy sneered and said, "Take a big shot! Look at your hands! ”

Zhao Huan tasted the meaning of the words a little, and said with a smile: "Is there a layer of oil on the scholar's hands?" ”

Ha ha! Zhao Huan laughed out loud, and the ministers of the court who laughed were inexplicable. Is this joke funny?

He laughed for a long time, looked at Li Gang and shook his head again and again, you, Li Shengren, have also been impeached for corruption this day!

The reason why Zhao Huan laughed was that Li Gang, who didn't even visit a green building and relied on the prime minister's fortune to live without worrying about food and clothing, was also impeached for corruption.

Yuwen Xuzhong also stood up, took out a notebook and said: "The bridge is repaired every year, and it collapses every year. The roads in Bianjing are also potholed every year, and they are repaired every year. The official family, the minister impeached Lee Dazai. ”

"It's a drain on national money. The crime is not small! Zhao Huan took out the notebook and looked at it for a long time, smiled, and asked Zhao Ying to give it to Li Gang.

"Dazai himself to explain to them?" Zhao Huan finally stopped laughing, and handed the note in Yuwen Xuzhong to Li Gang.

Li Gang himself shook his head angrily after reading it, it seems that he, Li Gang, has been tossing the city construction of Bianjing, and has a little ulterior motives.

Li Gang shook his head helplessly and said: "It costs money to demolish houses and widen roads, Sanhe soil and stone materials cost money, and it costs money to repair sewers and repair waterways. This account, an account, is clear. If you think something is corrupt, go and check the accounts! ”

"Why widen the road? It's enough. This series of expenses is all your Li Dazai's proposition, and even Kaifeng Mansion Shaoyin Li Shaoqing can't speak, the accounts are right, but who knows if you Li Dazai took the opportunity to buy the road section to the city and make a profit? Wu Tong asked.

This lawsuit has been fought in front of the official, and Wu Tong has also opened up and said that he will not engage in any malicious metaphors.

"I know. You just don't understand why Li Dazai insisted on expanding the road, and even the city gates, right? Zhao Huan asked.

Li Gang raised his hands to support the construction of roads, and if you want to get rich, you must first build roads.

This is a wise saying, there are no wide roads, no convenient transportation, and it is impossible to get rich.

"The officials and ministers naturally know that it is necessary to build roads, but there is no need to make such a big move. The present road, even if the city gates are extended, is completely sufficient. Li Dazai's move is suspected of fake public benefit. Wu Tong still argued with reason.

What a gap!

Or if Li Gang sits in Dazai's seat, and you squat in the position of the minister of the province for several years, and don't move the nest?

Zhao Huan shook his head, his own ministers are also loyal, Li Gang is now absolutely power-leaning towards the government and the opposition, even if Yuwen Xuzhong has to pull people to impeach together, which shows the great power.

It is very rare to dare to do this kind of thing in the regular court.

"Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a corner, and those who do not seek the general trend are not enough to seek a moment."

"I only see the immediate benefits, but I can't see the general trend, let me ask you, now demolish a house, at most three or five hundred yuan, a year later, two years later, ten years later?" Li Gang asked.

"The closed Fang Market was changed to a street market, and the planning of Bianjing Fang City was conducive to the circulation of commercial goods. This is all the content of commercial reform, the merit is in the contemporary, and the benefit is in the future. Why can't you do it? Li Gang also argued with reason

For the sake of commercial reform, Li Gang's hair fell out a lot, and he was impeached for corruption!

Wu Tong nodded and said, "Li Dazai is reasonable in building roads and well-planned, but he is short-sighted. ”

"Then Li Dazai explains! Why are they treated differently, the houses are redeemed with money, and the treasures of Bianjing Cang are used to buy them? And it's all cheap! Worth 30,000 pieces of jade! Worth 27,000 yuan! ”

"Don't say that the treasury is short of money! Now the treasury has 20 million yuan! Isn't it enough for you to toss Bianjing City?! ”

When Zhao Huan heard this, he looked at Li Gang in surprise, did he really do this?

If Li Gang also becomes corrupt, who else can he trust?!

Li Gang, did even you disappoint me?
