Chapter 167 The Son of Heaven has no intention of looking for Fangliu

November 28 of the first year of Baoqing of the Great Song Dynasty, sunny.

The early morning sun shone through the glass on the floor tiles of the Funing Palace, Zhao Heju took a breath, looked at his left, and then looked at his right.

The people on both sides are not there, perhaps because they are afraid that the Queen Mother will blame the loss of royal dignity if she knows about it.

Zhao and Ju could still smell a faint fragrance on the end of their noses, which was the smell of roses and gardenias, he squinted, and thought for a while, he had no memory of how he pushed Yang Miaozhen and Han Yu down on the bed last night - but it doesn't matter, let's do it again tonight.

Thinking of this, he smiled.

The cheerful laughter of the palace maid came from outside the hall, but it was immediately stopped, presumably an old palace maid was scolding. Zhao Youju coughed, and a moment later, a palace maid walked in, holding his shirt in her hand.

Since he ascended the throne, he has not been frugal, at least when the first emperor was in power, this Funing Hall was not equipped with glass windows, and he changed it soon after he ascended the throne. But at the same time, he can't be considered a luxury, employing people in the palace can save convenience, except for the queen mother's side, Yang Miaozhen and Han Yu's manpower has been extremely streamlined, fortunately, both of them are self-reliant, but they are not the kind of delicate little family women. It is Zhao Heju himself, and there are only six palace maids who serve him, as for the eunuchs, they have no human rights at all, and he can rush as far as he can.

"Official, please change your clothes."

The palace maid was very young, and her voice was still very immature, Zhao Heju was slightly surprised, among the palace maids who served him, there was no such person. He frowned and glanced at it, only to see that this palace maid was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a square body, skin as clear as jade, and a pair of eyes like a dream, although the facial features were not extremely outstanding, but the skin and eyes were enough to make up for it.

Zhao Youju only glanced at it twice, and then said lightly: "Put down your clothes, you go out." ”

The palace maid answered yes and withdrew from the Funing Palace, Zhao Heju changed his clothes, because he had been served for a long time, he was a little rusty when he was wearing clothes now.

He was slightly annoyed in his heart, this palace maid was obviously one of the thirty-six people that Empress Dowager Yang had recently selected into the palace. I remember that those palace maids were all in Ciming Palace, and this one sent must have been the idea of Empress Dowager Yang.

Then the identity of this person is also about to come out, it must be Xie Daoqing, the queen of the original history. What I didn't expect was that because of her own crossing, she who originally appeared in the palace two years later still came in early, and her legendary skin and eye diseases were cured.

After getting dressed, he went out and saw that Xie Daoqing was standing solemnly, with a dignified demeanor, and his eyes were not at all chaotic. This gave Zhao Youju an excellent impression, he smiled slightly, she was just a fifteen-year-old girl, I was afraid that her own heart might not be happy to serve her.

"Fetch me some water, remember to be cold." Zhao and Ju Dao.

"Yes." Xie Daoqing didn't ask why it was cold, just bowed and retreated, and after a while, Zhao Youju could hear her small footsteps, and then she came in with a basin of water and Zhao Youju's towel on her shoulder.

It was only when Zhao Youju lowered his head and washed his face that Xie Daoqing really glanced at Zhao Youju. This official is very young, only twenty years old this year, and his appearance is even a little younger than this age. His appearance is as extraordinary as legend, with bright eyes that can see through people's hearts, a straight nose and pursed lips. However, he was very focused on washing his face, and he didn't even raise his head to look at Xie Daoqing.

This made Xie Daoqing somewhat disappointed, when she was at home, she was often discriminated against by her peers because of skin diseases and eye diseases. When Empress Dowager Yang wanted to summon Xie's daughter into the palace, her uncles tried their best to oppose it, because they felt that she was so ugly, that is, she was at most a rough palace maid when she entered the palace, and she had to prepare a valuable dowry to send her daughter into the palace, which was really worth the loss for the Xie family, which had already fallen. Her father died early, and if it weren't for her brother's insistence, she wouldn't even have had the opportunity to enter the palace. Because of chance, she was cured of a hidden illness, and the clansmen treated her differently, and she also added a little confidence to her own family, feeling that after entering the palace, she would not be favored by the Son of Heaven, at least she would not be despised.

As a result, he was treated as non-existent by the Son of Heaven. The girl's sensitivity made her realize that the Son of Heaven was not pleased with her coming to serve. This made her feel even more wronged, if it weren't for Empress Dowager Yang's order, she wouldn't want to come here. Reading and practicing with a group of little sisters in Ciming Palace, playing Yuju, is it far better than accompanying this boring official family of the Son of Heaven!

Although he thought so in his heart, Xie Daoqing didn't show anything on his face, after Zhao Heju finished washing, he went directly to the Boya Building, which was a little benefit he worked hard to win for himself, one day out of every five days, he didn't have to get up so early, he could read in the Boya Building by himself.

Of course, the so-called "self", there are still people, the living lang will be waiting in the boya building early in the morning, if he comes too late, the living lang must not make a note: a certain year, a certain month, a certain day, late arrival, lazy to learn.

Then those officials who have eaten enough and have nothing to do will happily come to advise him to be diligent in his administration, not to be lazy, and not to indulge in women.

After pretending to read the book, Zhao Youju couldn't sit still, got up and said: "I'm idle today, I haven't seen Princess Rong for a long time, I don't need to alarm too many people when I go over there." ”

After he ascended the throne, he posthumously presented his father Rong Wang, who died early, and his brother Zhao and Rui became the sons of Rong Wang, and his mother Quan became Rong Wang Princess. Although the Quan family is his biological mother, but now he can only live in King Rong's mansion, but fortunately, King Rong's mansion is on the edge of the palace, and Zhao and Ju, who are separated from each other, will go to visit their biological mother. For the filial piety of the Son of Heaven, all the ministers acquiesced, after all, although this official family is young and heroic, he has never called his biological father the emperor like Yingzong.

When the whole family saw Zhao and Ju coming, they wanted to salute, but Zhao and Ju hurriedly mixed in and complained: "Mother, every time I want the child to say you, no matter how I am the son you gave birth to, how can I be your gift?" ”

Quan looked at his son of heaven with a smile, and didn't say much, just looked behind him, and didn't see Yang Miaozhen and Han Yu, so he was a little surprised: "What about Concubine Xian and Jieyu?" ”

"Mother is still the same as when she was in Yuzhang Villa, calling them Miaozhen and Ayu, what kind of virtuous concubine Jieyu, for no reason, she is called alive!" Zhao and Ju only have a bit of young temperament in front of the whole family, which makes the whole family happy the most. He smiled and said: "Today they want to accompany the queen mother to teach the palace maid, so they never came, and so did the mother, and when they had a daughter-in-law, they forgot about the child." ”

"The officials are all in charge of the world, and they are still so childish." Quan took Zhao Heju's hand and looked at his son carefully - he is no longer his own son, he can only secretly call his mother behind the back of the courtiers in this palace, since he was a child, he has never let himself worry about it, on the contrary, he has always been worried about himself, for his own family, and now, he has to worry about this world society.

Thinking of this, the whole family was a little melancholy, if it was still in Yuzhang Villa, how good it would be for the family to live a small life peacefully.

"What about Rui?" After chatting with his mother for a while, he didn't see his brother, so Zhao Youju asked strangely.

"I went to Zongxue, and I have been studying quite hard lately, saying that I can't ruin the face of the emperor's brother." At the mention of the second son, a smile appeared on Quan's face again: "He admires the official family." ”

Zhao Youju smiled slightly, and he didn't care, he was about to speak again, when suddenly someone outside the courtyard shouted: "Minister Qin Dashi asks to see." ”

Qin Dashi and Long Twelve are now in the front of the palace to fill their positions, because of their qualifications, they are all low-grade petty officials, but among the guards in front of the palace, the reputation of the two is extremely high. And now among the guards in front of the palace, there are nearly 100 people who are from Liuqiu, and they are enough to serve the public in terms of skill and discipline, so it is quite smooth to become this petty official.

Zhao Youju raised his eyebrows slightly, Qin Dashi asked to see him instead of the courtiers, so it means that what happened happened in Liuqiu.

Nowadays, the court and Liuqiu are two systems that are completely parallel, and in the court, it is still those important ministers and Qing councilors who hold the real power, and Liuqiu is completely the private property of the Son of Heaven. After the original dedication of the land, Zhao and Ju took the opportunity of knocking down Shi Miyuan and the courtiers to be caught off guard by the successive changes, and asked to maintain the current system for 50 years under the pretext of "not wanting to disturb the people" - the courtiers were shocked at the time, and they did not feel that it was inappropriate, and they did not want to turn the happy event of the sacrifice of the land into a hateful event for the opposite purpose, so they acquiesced. When they felt that it was inappropriate not to send officials to Liuqiu for such a treasured land, the edict of the Son of Heaven had already been issued, and it was too late to regret it.

Vaguely, Zhao and Ju have the meaning of whipping the princes of the court by begging, for example, the seizure of Xuzhou is an example. Another example is the gambling contract between the official family and Zhen Dexiu, although it is a secret conversation between the two, but where can such things be hidden from everyone, and now the courtiers are all watching with complicated minds, to see who can rule Huaibei and Huainan after three years.

"The official family is busy with state affairs, so let's go back first." Seeing Zhao Heju's appearance, Concubine Quan smiled and said: "Come back when you have time, and after returning to the palace, you have to accompany the Queen Mother more." ”

The news from Liuqiu is extremely bad, mainly because of people's thoughts, especially those immigrants who moved first, feel that now Yang Miaozhen is a virtuous concubine, and the Son of Heaven is their master, Liuqiu has no need to keep it secret, and the development of Huaibei to transfer people also makes them feel that these people can go back, so they can naturally too. Although this is a very good place, it must be admitted that their longing for their homeland is almost insurmountable.

"Although Qiu Shuang is temporarily suppressed, he only relies on his prestige, and once again, I am afraid that it will be difficult to suppress it." Li Yunrui said with a heavy heart: "Although it will not cause trouble, it is inevitable that it will be passive to slack off." Now Lianghuai is the time when it is needed, and this kind of thing happens...... Official, why don't you let the ministers go back and beg again? ”

"Not necessarily." Zhao Youju frowned, this matter was expected by him, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

After pondering for a while, he picked up the pen and wrote quickly on the paper, and after a quarter of an hour and an hour, he stopped his pen, looked at what he had written, and then deleted some more, and then handed it to Li Yunrui: "You arrange for someone to return this to Liuqiu." ”

Zhao and Ju's solution is to take advantage of the situation, don't they want to go back to the mainland, if they only block it, it will accumulate more and more, and eventually cause a catastrophe, it is better for the Liuqiu Office to formulate a charter, which stipulates the extent to which they can freely travel between the land and the Liuqiu. Ensure that all those who want to come back can see the hope of returning, and control the number of people who can come back, so as not to affect the development of Liuqiu.

Moreover, Zhao and Ju believe that after more than six years of Liuqiu, after they return to the land, they are very different from the people who were originally in Huaibei and Jingdong.

Another important role is to build a political force. If the people who seek to flow always stop at the flow of seeking, then they are a little out of place for the entire Great Song Dynasty after all, if they are allowed to live in Huaibei and Jingdong, this is the homeland of the Great Song Dynasty after all, and they are also regarded as relics of the Great Song Dynasty, and they are more easily accepted by all classes of the Great Song Dynasty. Therefore, in Zhao Heju's countermeasures, another is the resettlement method after returning to the mainland. It is okay to return to the land, but it must also accept the constraints of the Liuqiu system, and sign a small loan agreement with the Liuqiu Bank, that is, the Liuqiu Bank will either use cash or materials to fund them to start businesses in Huaibei and Jingdong, such as opening up large-scale farms, developing mines, opening workshops, and so on. In addition to repaying the loans of the Liuqiu Bank, these businesses must also pay full taxes to the Jingdong and Huaibei governments.

Zhao and Ju have spent a lot of time analyzing the current situation in the Great Song Dynasty, although nominally the Son of Heaven and the scholars rule the world together, in fact, the Son of Heaven is constrained by the scholars in his words and deeds, and the scholars as a whole hold the two extremely lethal weapons of the Qing Dynasty and the ancestral family law, and almost have no scruples to protect the interests of this group. Therefore, although Wang Anshi is wise, the change can only end in disgrace. These scholars were not only landlords, but also officials and businessmen, and they refused to change the court for the sake of their own interests, but their greed for land and wealth shook the foundation of society. Only by cultivating a class that can compete with this scholar class and not be uncontrolled, Zhao and Ju can fully replace these scholars, if it is said that Liuqiu is a nursery, then due to the war, the power of the scholars has not yet extended to the east of Huaijing, which will be the place where the cultivated seedlings will be transplanted.

Naturally, these people who have migrated from the stream will also have their own selfish intentions, and may even be in the same stream with the scholars to form a new class of scholars, so the streamers must strengthen their invisible control through the fiscal and taxation system and technical strength.

After thinking of this step, Zhao Youju hesitated for a while, and then handed over the piece of paper to Li Yunrui.

I hope that these old-fashioned scholars will realize their intentions later.
