Chapter 1289: The prestige of Shen, who broke his leg
The officials rushed around Xiangfu County, trying their best to persuade them, but most of the rich families were still indifferent.
But this time, no one dared to let the dog bite people, but closed doors are indispensable.
Just when the officials returned disappointed, a team of cavalry entered Xiangfu County, and then a news spread in Xiangfu County.
"There are cavalry coming to Shen An!"
"That Shen Broken Leg is here with someone."
"Where is he now?"
"In the county office, with the king."
Several magnates looked at each other, and then ......
"Those people in the capital said they would help us." A powerful man said very weakly.
Another powerful person turned around and left, "Shen An is the most vicious, and he still has a lot of credit, he has calculated it, his credit is no problem to break XX's leg, and it will be fine if you add a few more...... So I'm going to the county office. ”
"So-and-so is going too."
"So-and-so has calculated, paying that little exemption money is nothing, so-and-so just felt unhappy before."
"So you're happy now?"
"Of course I'm happy."
Many people walked out of their homes and went to the county government with a smile, and on the way they received news that they were the first to pay the exemption money.
In an instant, the pace of those people quickened.
In the county office, Shen An and Zhao Ji were playing chess.
Zhao Ji was a little absent-minded, and was killed by Shen An a big dragon.
"The king, Shen Jungong."
The officials are back.
"They don't agree."
Zhang Qiwei said angrily: "Those people are bold, and the lower officials think that they should be ordered to pay, otherwise they will take people." ”
Of course, this method works, but it will be criticized.
"What's the panic?"
Shen An was pondering the mentality of those people.
Because of their identity, these people must be quite bold.
Or get a few more?
Thinking that he had a lot of credit in his hands and couldn't fulfill it, Shen An was heartbroken.
And last time Zhao Shu said that he would reward himself, in the end, it was inexplicably fruitless. He pondered about this later, probably because Wang Yan secretly abolished Yang Fei's leg.
Wang Yan should have been punished for that matter, but in the end, it was over, and some people even went to the court to impeach, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no response.
This thing probably canceled off again, right?
Now Shen An has a lot of credit in his hands, and at the beginning of the new deal, it is just right to use it!
He looked up and said, "Find the big stick." ”
"No!"
Zhang Qiwei hurriedly persuaded: "Shen Jungong, it's okay to coerce, if you do it again......"
"Lang Jun!"
Wen Xiaozhong came over with a stick.
As soon as Shen An wanted to get up, there was a commotion outside, and then someone shouted: "Tell the king, crazy, those people are crazy." ”
"Someone's coming to pay the exemption money."
"That's a lot of people."
"Come on!"
Zhang Qiwei was stunned, Shen An took the stick and said, "I just want to practice." ”
Zhang Qiwei couldn't care about this, and hurriedly went out, and saw those powerful and wealthy gentlemen gathered in front, shouting to pay the money.
Zhao Ji also came out.
His guard, Chen Quan, took a step forward and said, "The Great King stops. ”
There were too many people over there, and he was worried that someone would assassinate him with a bow and arrow.
"It's an auspicious charm." Zhao Ji looked at the hot scene and couldn't help but rejoice.
"This is the first step, and if this step is taken, the exemption law will be completed, and the new policy will have a good start."
Chen Quan stared at those people vigilantly, and when he saw them all looking at him, he couldn't help but stand in front of Zhao Ji.
Shen An came out with a stick.
"Shen Jungong, I'm here to pay the money!"
"Yes! I'll wait for everything to be calculated, and I'll send the money back. ”
"Really?" Shen An walked to the front, pestle the stick and said, "This matter cannot be forced. ”
"Not reluctantly, not reluctantly, we are all willing."
Everyone burst into laughter, as if they could make money by paying the money.
"It's ......"
Zhang Qiwei looked at the stick in Shen An's hand, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "Shen Jungong is mighty!" ”
A small official praised: "When Shen Xiangong came out alone, he asked these people to bow their heads, and they were really famous generals." ”
Shen An threw away the wooden stick and glanced at Chen Quan.
Chen Quan avoided it, revealing Zhao Ji behind him.
"I've seen the king."
Everyone saluted, Shen An stood a little behind the side, and said lightly: "The king has been planning for this matter for a long time. ”
These words pointed out Zhao Ji's role in this matter, and everyone immediately saluted again.
"The king is merciful, and I am ashamed."
Later, the news spread, and the people outside couldn't help but rejoice.
On the way back to Beijing, Chen Quan found an opportunity to ask Shen An, "Shen Jungong, if you point out the king, I'm afraid that the powerful and rich people in the world will hate the king in the future, isn't this appropriate?" ”
He had a serious face, but Shen An was very relaxed, "He will be the crown prince...... He should have made a statement early to let the world know that he was on the side of the people. ”
Chen Quan nodded, but still felt that this matter was inappropriate.
"As for the hatred of the rich families, are you afraid of this as a prince?" Shen An said contemptuously: "Who is the army loyal to? ”
Chen Quan said: "Official. ”
"The official family has an army in hand, what are you afraid of?" Shen An felt that most of these people were afraid of those powerful and wealthy gentry, and they were afraid to death, "The new deal is to cut the meat of the rich, and while cutting the meat, you still think that you can push the cup with them?" Aren't you afraid that they will poison the wine and food? ”
Chen Quan was sober and arched his hand: "Shen Jungong is clever, but he is wrong. ”
These people are afraid!
Shen An didn't know what they were afraid of, since the first emperor Zhao Zhen, they were afraid of the powerful gentry in the world.
"The officials are in the same league as them." Shen An thought of this.
What is the emperor most afraid of?
The first army centrifuges.
The second official is centrifuged.
Without an army at hand, the emperor could not sleep peacefully at night.
The officials are centrifuged, and this Great Song Dynasty is not far from collapse.
But there is no shortage of officials in the Great Song Dynasty!
Shen An couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.
"Brother Anbei."
Zhao Ji was thinking about it all the way, and when he saw Bianliang City, he figured out one thing.
"Officials are the key to the success or failure of the new deal, but I think there will be many people who oppose the new deal." Zhao Ji obviously figured it out and was very confident.
"So what do you say?" Shen An asked.
Zhao Ji said: "Don't be afraid, it's a big deal...... Replace. ”
He looked at Shen An, Shen An looked at him, and the two laughed at the same time.
Heroes see the same thing!
"There are too many officials in the Great Song Dynasty, just to vacate the position and arrange those redundant officials, so ...... The opponents of the New Deal are gone, the redundant officials are solved, killing two birds with one stone! ”
"Hahahaha!" Shen An couldn't help laughing.
Amid loud laughter, they entered Bianliang City.
All the way into the palace, the monarchs and ministers are waiting.
"How?"
Just as they saluted, Zhao Shu couldn't wait to ask.
"Your Majesty, didn't the Imperial City Division say it?" Shen An's words made Zhao Shu's face darken, and he said, "What did the Imperial City Division say?" Didn't go. ”
Why didn't you go?
Shen An looked at Han Qi, Han Qi had a serious face, quite the style of a prime minister.
Bao Zheng glanced at Zhao Shu, and Shen An understood.
Co-author Zhao Shu is worried that someone will rebel and let the Imperial City Division find out the news in Bianliang City!
Originally, Shen An felt that Zhao Shu was a little timid, but thinking about the rebellion in the palace encountered by the former emperor Zhao Zhen, he immediately understood.
The boldness of those people is really unimaginable to ordinary people.
At the beginning of the New Deal, if something happens to Zhao Shu, it will be a sudden brake.
Shen An gave up his position.
At this time, it is time for Zhao Ji to shine.
"Your Majesty, the rich families in Xiangfu County have all paid the exemption money."
"Good!"
Zhao Shu was overjoyed, "But have you handed it all over?" ”
"It's all handed in."
Zhao Ji took out a booklet, and Chen Zhongheng took it and handed it over.
"Your Majesty, please see, this is the list of wealthy households in Xiangfu County, on the left is the amount of family property, and on the right is the exemption money paid."
Zhao Ji was also very happy.
Zhao Shu looked carefully, and when he saw the back, he saw the familiar handwriting.
-- The balance is 36,992.
"How much balance?"
Zhao Shu really didn't expect that in his opinion, as long as Xiangfu County's exemption money could offset seventy percent of the cost of recruitment, he would be satisfied.
But now there is still so much balance, so he can't help but praise: "Da Lang has worked hard." ”
Zhao Ji lowered his head, "The minister is not hard. ”
Because this is the court, Zhao Shu can call him Da Lang in a gaffe, but he can only be called a minister.
Han Qi and the others were itching, so they couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, how much is the balance?" ”
Zhao Shu glanced at it again, "The balance is more than 36,000 yuan." ”
"So much?"
Han Qi said: "More than 30,000 runs, this is every year, right?" ”
Shen An nodded, "The exemption money has to be paid every year." ”
"Doesn't that mean...... The life of the three divisions is going to be better again? Han Qi thought that Han Jiang always came to complain, saying that if the expenses of the DPRK and China were not saved, he could only go to the Bianhe River when he turned around.
"That's exempt money." Shen An felt that Han Qi's gaze was still a little narrow, "Xiangfu County is close to the capital, so there are many rich households, so there are many surpluses, but the territory of the Great Song Dynasty is vast, and many places are poor, and the surplus is impossible, and it may even be less." These balances are just enough to fill the shortfall, and if there is any leftover, the lower officials think that they should keep it for the future. ”
"What do you mean?" Han Qi knew that he was too excited, so he ignored the overall situation.
"Xia Guan feels that the people of the Great Song Dynasty will only get richer and richer, and the rich will only increase, and the balance will increase more and more.
The finances are in deficit, there is no money, let's squeeze from elsewhere, okay?
Okay, so let's squeeze.
Money is like a ditch of all that, and there is always a squeeze.
However, if a country's finances are not standardized, it will be prone to problems in the future, and it will be easier for others to take advantage of loopholes.
Han Qi nodded in approval.
Zhao Shu looked at his son and was in a very happy mood, "Da Lang proposed the exemption money this time, and he practiced it, which made me happy." ”
This is a compliment, which will spread throughout the DPRK and China later.
This is also to establish prestige, step by step, when Zhao Shu is old, Zhao Ji just happened to take over.
Zhao Ji said: "Your Majesty, it is the people who are really happy. ”
"Of course the people will rejoice." Zhao Shu said with a smile: "They are exempted from service, and they will only farm in the future, I am thinking at the moment, how will the people of the world expect the exemption law, hahahaha!" ”
"Your Majesty, the people of Xiangfu County came to ask for a meeting, saying that they were grateful to Your Majesty for implementing the law of exemption from military service and freeing them from great trouble, so they brought some special products to thank them."
"Oh!"
Zhao Shu's heart moved, "Go and see." ”

Today is still a double monthly pass. The fourth is sent, ask for a monthly pass, good night!
