Chapter 760: The Queen Mother Watches the Ceremony
A few thousand people, you can get an income of 1.2 million yuan, and according to what the Dinghai Navy said, there may be 50,000 to 60,000 people in the future, for a small place, there are 50,000 or 60,000 people lost all of a sudden, that is a big deal, a small county, maybe, will lose most of the personnel, but for Kaifeng Prefecture, this is definitely not a problem, more than one million people, let alone less than 50,000 or 60,000, even if it is less than 100,000 or 200,000, there is no problem.
However, there may be millions, tens of millions, which can definitely be called a huge change for Kaifeng Prefecture, at least, some public facilities construction, can be put into action, do not have to wait for the central government's appropriation.
However, this time the letter of Kaifeng Mansion was once again on the cabinet meeting, itself, during this time, the cabinet was having a headache, the restoration of Zhao Xin's identity, a dead prince, in what name to restore, which was a huge impact on the entire legal system of the Northern Song Dynasty.
But for Renzong and Zongzheng, it is not a bad thing, Zhao Xin's recognition of ancestors and return to the ancestors, on behalf of the two great countries of this land, the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao State, are of the same origin, although they have not yet been unified, but nominally, it represents that Zhao and Song Dynasty unified the whole world and obtained a larger land in history than the Han and Tang Dynasties, such a temptation can be said to be not small.
Similarly, for Renzong, this is also a good thing, father and son two generations of emperors, for the emperor, that is Ji Cao, but the father and son two generations are emperors at the same time, and they are also different countries, I am afraid to go back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the same, in this era, the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao State almost divided the entire East Asia, and the territory of the two countries together exceeded 10 million square kilometers, which is a huge land.
The conflict between the law and the imperial power, if it is replaced by any time in the past, the scholars of the Northern Song Dynasty will definitely not hesitate to scold the past, for the scholars who have discipline, the holy decree of the emperor is just a basic operation, and it is normal to quarrel with the emperor on major matters, and even spray the emperor with foaming on his head, it is also very normal.
For the sake of fame, ignoring the affairs of the court in vain, this in itself is not what an excellent Zai Fu should do, even if it is as square as Bao Zheng, it is impossible to ignore the current situation.
Zhao Xin has already relied on the Dinghai Navy to take the Liao State, and now he is preparing to open the country, so even if he regains his identity, it is impossible to inherit the throne, and it is impossible for the king of a country to take the risk and come to the Northern Song Dynasty alone, unless the two countries go to war and take the Northern Song Dynasty.
This is exactly what they tried to avoid, and as these people who are old and sophisticated, they know very well why Zhao Xin would ask for the recognition of his ancestors and return to his ancestors, that is, to prepare for the establishment of the country and the emperor.
Historically, even if it is the rebel army of the peasant army, under the premise of gaining a certain territory and power, it will beautify its ancestors, and for Zhao Xin, there is no need to beautify it at all, for the high-ranking officials of the Northern Song Dynasty, they all know that he is the son of Renzong, the only son, it is difficult to make up another identity, although it is said that with the identity of the Miao family, there is no problem, but what will Renzong think in his heart, this is a problem.
It is under the premise that this question is entangled, the question raised by Kaifeng Mansion, Han Qi's first thought is to directly refuse, at this time, in the addition of a little immigration, how much is the chaos in the entire Northern Song Dynasty enough?
However, Kaifeng Mansion put forward a concept of management fee, and the personnel who work in the Dinghai Navy from Kaifeng Mansion can bring a lot of management fees to Kaifeng Mansion every year, which is currently about 150 yuan per person.
This is not a small number, even those ordinary guys in Kaifeng Mansion, even laborers, can earn this in a year.
Money is not omnipotent, but when money reaches a certain level, it can also give birth to terrible power, and people who can calculate a little in the Northern Song Dynasty immediately thought of the tens of millions of people who came to the Dinghai Navy before, if everyone gives management fees, just these people, the Northern Song Dynasty can be full.
Now that the Dinghai Navy has been established, and then chasing these people to collect management fees, then it will definitely not work, but what about the past now?
According to what Kaifeng Mansion said, it is now about 8,000 people, which can bring 1.2 million yuan of income to Kaifeng Prefecture, if this number is 80,000, wouldn't it be 12 million.
The huge financial temptation, coupled with the fact that this is not an immigration, but a continuous income, in this case, paralyzed the high-ranking officials of the Northern Song Dynasty, including Han Qi, and they immediately felt that this should be something to consider.
Soon, Kaifeng Mansion and some officials of the Ministry of Household began to contact with the Ding Navy, which was also expected by Sun Yuexi, money can solve most of the problems, although the cost is a little big, but as long as you cooperate with the Northern Song Dynasty government, you can get immigrants from the Northern Song Dynasty to the greatest extent, these people, to the Ding Navy, will stay, the result is certain, in addition to the stubborn, as long as you see the development of the Ding Navy, as well as excellent welfare benefits, leaving is a high probability of events, the funds paid for this, It could not directly allow the Northern Song Dynasty to cross the limits of weapons and become a threat to the navy.
Soon, after a little discussion, the Dinghai Navy signed the first contract with the Northern Song Dynasty, not in terms of war and peace, but a strange export agreement, and the Northern Song Dynasty would recruit 1.5 million to 2 million laborers in the entire Northern Song Dynasty in three months, and import them to the Dinghai Navy for work.
In the middle, the Northern Song Dynasty will get a one-time management fee of 150 guan, and there is also a capitation fee of 50 guan, and as for the settlement fee of 50 guan for those laborers, it is also additional.
According to this agreement, the Navy will pay 250 guan per person, under the figure of 2 million, in a year's time, it will pay a cost of 500 million guan, this money is much higher than the annual income of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is every year, with this money, the Northern Song Dynasty can do more, and even to a certain extent, some projects that could not be started before can be started.
The officials of Kaifeng Prefecture who reached this agreement, as well as the officials of the household department, were of course superior in the evaluation, and they did not realize that this matter had also become a rather critical turning point in the Northern Song Dynasty, and was called one of the most stupid treaties.
After signing this agreement, Sun Yuexi's task of coming to Bianliang was basically completed, and the 2 million people who signed it at one time are probably the limit, it is foreseeable that these people will definitely not all be from Bianliang and Gyeonggi, and will inevitably be distributed in various places in the Northern Song Dynasty.
If it is three years, or five years, the personnel who are active to the Dinghai Navy may be several times the total number, these people, do not need to take money from the Dinghai, this is called smuggling, in the 21st century, can not be completely eliminated, now there is a mental calculation or no intention, and when the Northern Song Dynasty discovers the problem, everything will be settled.
The population of the Northern Song Dynasty is only more than 100 million, deducting some old people, children, and the population of the real prime of life, it may be seventy or eighty million, and the navy has taken away more than 30 million, if it takes away another 10 million, then the population of both sides will be upside down, and the population growth rate of the navy is far higher than that of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Sun Yuexi's task has been completed, but he has not left, mainly waiting for the reply of the Northern Song Dynasty, this reply is divided into two aspects, one is about the identity of Zhao Xin, these days, the court of the Northern Song Dynasty, because of this matter is very noisy, but it has always been within a certain range, and it has not torn its face or intensified.
Sun Yuexi is also well versed in the way of officialdom, knowing that this is just a step for all parties, and after a certain amount of deliberation and deciding on the bottom line, it can be announced, and the probability of passing is very high.
Similarly, another thing is that the Northern Song Dynasty sent the personnel to the Dinghai Navy to observe the ceremony, this variable is also relatively large, it may be the deputy of the Lifan Yuan, or the privy envoy of the Privy Council, the governor of political affairs, etc., the specifications are different, and in the end, the reception of the Dinghai Navy is also different.
Sun Yuexi didn't wait long, just waited for the final result, Zhao Xin's identity was not restored, he was already dead, and it was a little difficult to recover, but he could still put it on Concubine Miao's body as a missing prince.
It also sounds a little unbelievable, the eldest son of Concubine Miao, because of the accidental disappearance, the royal family kept it secret, and finally searched for it in many ways, and finally found it in the fourth year of Qingli.
It's incredible, but this can be explained, increasing Zhao Xin's age by about 5 years, and now he is more than 13 years old, compared with the previous 8 years old, it is more believable, after all, Zhao Xin's appearance is more like a young man, not a teenager, really the original version, not only to overturn the statement of why he died of illness, but also to explain why it is so big.
On the contrary, this is this, in addition to the royal family, there are also high-level officials, who knows, whether Renzong and Concubine Miao have an eldest son, whether it is missing or something else, these are all royal secrets, who can say clearly, this is probably also a lot of thinking, the final compromise method.
This can be regarded as a harvest, Zhao Xin's request is just a name, recognizing the ancestors and returning to the ancestors is mainly the kindness of Renzong and Concubine Miao to him, although he has also repaid a lot before, but such an order is still acceptable, as for the original Zhao Xin's identity, or now, Zhao Hui's identity, it doesn't matter.
However, what surprised Sun Yuexi was that the personnel who went to Dinghai to watch the ceremony were not decided for the time being, and Dinghai would be notified one month before the founding ceremony of Dinghai.
The Northern Song Dynasty can't settle down, maybe it is because they haven't found a suitable person to go, this is also a normal phenomenon, as long as you inform the Dinghai Navy one month in advance, or even a month, two or three days before arrival, notify the Dingjun.
In Dinghai, all kinds of materials are very rich, no need to prepare in advance, just pay a little attention to it.
At this point, Sun Yuexi's task was basically completed, he was almost ready to leave, and at the same time, the first batch of people who signed the contract, almost more than 40,000 people in Bianliang, these people who signed the contract, will take different trains to Shanhaiguan, and then be picked up by the Dinghai Navy to Liao.
More than 40,000 people, a total of almost 8 million, this once, has been close to one-third of the Northern Song Dynasty taxes, most of which went to Kaifeng Mansion, which was also set by Renzong at the meeting.
In the next year, Kaifeng Mansion will have a huge amount of funds for the construction of municipal projects in Kaifeng Prefecture, which is still obtained from the Dinghai Navy, in order to improve life, water and wastewater discharge, and even a large number of public toilets, cleaning public health, it is necessary to invest a lot of funds, but these can increase the image of Kaifeng as a whole, as the capital of a country, even a small border city has stepped in, that is a joke.
In the palace, Renzong just rested, there was a commotion outside, Renzong, who was resting with his eyes closed, showed a wry smile on his face, recently, Concubine Miao has been pestering him, he is a little afraid, Concubine Miao, who has always been well-behaved and generous, this time, it seems to be dead-eyed, no matter what he says, he doesn't listen at all.
Concubine Miao's wish was very simple, she wanted to go to the Navy to watch the ceremony, and as a mother, she asked to see her son ascend the throne with her own eyes.
This sentence is true, Zhao Xin is indeed the son of Renzong and Concubine Miao, there is no doubt about this, but Concubine Miao is a concubine, a concubine of the Northern Song Dynasty, who went to Liao, what is this.
It was very difficult for the concubine to even leave the palace, and she ran abroad all of a sudden, which made his emperor's face go anywhere.
But Concubine Miao's reasons are also very sufficient, she is Renzong's concubine, he is in the Dinghai Navy, and he is also the queen mother, to see his son, and not to go to a foreign country, I really don't feel at ease, I can send someone to escort her.
Renzong had a headache, after being forced by Concubine Miao for a few days, he could be considered to have figured it out, Concubine Miao was also forced, his own son, since he was 3 years old, he has not seen him a few times, the only thing he saw was in the name of the provincial relatives, that is, those days.
Now, it is the most critical day for his son, under certain circumstances, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and under this premise, it is inevitable that Concubine Miao will have this obsession.
After figuring it out, Renzong had an even more headache, he just figured it out, if he wanted the court to agree, it would be a bigger problem, before letting Zhao Xin recognize his ancestors and return to the sect, he had already made the court quarrel, and now the concubine left the palace, not leaving the palace to Bianliang, but leaving Bianliang, or even leaving the Northern Song Dynasty, to a foreign country, this is something that has not been heard of in the entire Northern Song Dynasty, or even in the entire feudal history.
But on the contrary, this still makes sense, if you change someone to go abroad, it is a loss of power and humiliation of the country, that is a shame, what kind of person is Concubine Miao, whether it is the real identity or the identity of the publicity, she is the mother of the new lord of the Liao State, the queen mother goes, it is not humiliation, it is glory, and it is the key to determining the country of father and son between the two countries.
