Chapter 3245 is unexpectedly promoted

Huizhou Xuezheng grinned: "What did Lord Sun say, my Huizhou road to Guangzhou is the first road in Guangdong, the first road in Guangdong is us, there are a lot of transport things on this road, Lord Zhao's teacher is in Huizhou, can he let there be bandits on this line, since the adult is an old friend of Zhao Jingluo, he should know that Zhao Jingluo is a good hand in governing civil affairs, and now, along the line from Huizhou to Guangzhou, ten miles and a pavilion, and a town in thirty miles, all are farms, and there are both people in the farms, as well as local gentry in Huizhou. Lord Zhao uses military law to control the neighbors, and the custody will not be broken out to make trouble. ”

Sun Cong nodded noncommittally, followed the arrangement of Huizhou Xuezheng, jumped into the carriage and ran to Guangzhou overnight.

Huizhou road to Guangzhou is really the first road in Guangzhou, when this road is repaired, Zhao Xing blows up the mountain in the mountains, encounters water and bridges, the road leads straight to the near of heaven and earth, on this straight road, even if you walk at night, do not worry about the rollover accident, Sun Cong sat on the light car, while walking and watching, ** later, arrived in Guangzhou.

Zhao Xing is worthy of being the head snake, the news of Sun Cong's arrival arrived in Guangzhou earlier than himself, and when Sun Cong handed over the name card to Zhao Xing's mansion, Zhao Xing seemed to have been waiting there for a long time, and welcomed him into the mansion without any delay. Sun Cong sat down, and Zhao Xing asked, "What is the plan of the imperial court?" ”

Sun Cong took out the holy decree from his arms, smiled bitterly and handed it to Zhao Xing: "Your temper, Master Zhang knows, are you just asking for loot, the court allows your soldiers to keep their loot, but all the contraband in the palace needs to be handed over." In addition, the king of Dali needs to be sent to the capital quickly......

Now, looking at the sun, the Tianning Festival can't catch up, and the court hopes that you will send the Dali royal family into the capital before the New Year's Day, and there are also those contraband......"

Zhao Xing nodded: "Just wait for the words of the imperial court...... Except for the Dali royal family. Prohibited items in the royal palace. I'll hand over another 30 million yuan to the imperial court, which is enough. ”

Sun Cong shook his head: "What Zhang Xianggong means is that the Cham country is a small country, and it can also loot 10,000,000 yuan, and now the war in the Western Xia side of the imperial court is tense, and there is a shortage of money everywhere, I hope you can pay more." ”

Zhao Xing sighed and defended: "The situation in the Cham country is different from that in Dali. The Cham country is a foreign country, and it can be plundered after occupation, but Dali is a return to the old place, and we can't loot too much.

Besides, the imperial court is too greedy. Guangxi and Guangdong did not let the imperial court spend an extra money, took Dali lightly, and also dedicated the Dali treasury to the imperial court, and the imperial court could not ask for it like this. ”

Zhao Xing has not accepted the holy decree, and Sun Cong gently placed the holy decree on the table in Zhao Xing's hand. He added: "The war in Shaanxi is tight, and the imperial court has asked for assistance from all walks of life this year, and I don't know about other places." The land quota of Guangnan East Road is 12 million guan...... This is Zhang Xianggong's extra care of you. ”

Zhao Xing's face sank: "I pay 20 million yuan in taxes in Guangdong, and I have to add 12 million in compensation, and I won't let people live." Sun Congqiang smiled and replied: "In the seventh year of Xining, the Guangnan East Road co-payment is 17 million guan, and the tax is only 14 million guan. ”

Zhao Xing gritted his teeth and smiled coldly: "Xining Kaibian is presided over by Wang Jinggong. You forgot to say. After that great war, the whole country was ruined and left the country. Thousands of miles of displaced people, selling sons and daughters, and separating wives, you forgot why the pigs in the two Zhejiang regions are called the Xianggong, I don't want the people of Guangdong to call the pig Zhao Liren in the future. ”

Sun Cong smiled indifferently and said Wang Anshi's famous words: "People are not afraid of words!" ”

Zhao Xing immediately answered and said: "You are not afraid of the common people, I am afraid." So it's useless for you to say this to me, and Guangdong will never cooperate...... By the way, I heard that the imperial court plans to deserve Wang Jinggong to enjoy the Confucian Temple, Wang Jinggong said that the law of the clan is not fearful, isn't Confucius the study of the ancestors, a person who is not afraid of the ancestral law, but needs to enjoy the ancestral rites to prove himself, are you laughing at Wang Jinggong? Or, Jing Gong himself is not actually against tradition, but just likes to use opposition to tradition to attack others? ”

Sun Cong still decided to ignore Zhao Xingdi's words, he smiled and said to himself: "Zhang Xianggong knew that you were working hard to restore the vitality of Guangdong, and he didn't think that you would spread this money on the heads of the people of Guangdong. ”

Zhao Xing slapped his thigh, laughed wildly and said: "I like to hear this, did you say it earlier, you said this condition earlier, what else do I argue with you." \\\\\\”

The meaning of Sun Cong's words was that he vaguely agreed that Zhao Xing would use the small Nanyang countries to rob them of their wealth to enrich his own treasury.

This means that Zhao Xing will have the right to use troops against Nanyang in the future---- plus the position of "Tongzhongmen Pingzhangshi", which means that Zhao Xing can review the troop dispatch chapter by himself first---- well, that is, his "left hand" to review his "right hand".

This power is exactly what Zhao Xing needs, and he uses carrots to tempt the ministers of the court, just to get the right to use troops independently. And he delayed the royal family and booty of Dali, but he also wanted the court to make concessions.

Now it seems that under the pressure of reality, those righteous people have twisted and tacitly agreed to Zhao Xing's "external robbery".

After getting what he needed, Zhao Xing stretched out his hand to touch the holy decree, and said with a smile: "I'll see, what reward does the court give me?" ”

Sun Cong sighed: "Zhang Xianggong also knows that you are a person who has no benefits and does not work, I really don't know that you have to talk to the court everywhere about the conditions, how can Su Laopo cultivate a brother like you." ”

Zhao Xing replied as he unfolded the holy decree: "You are wrong. I talked to the court about the conditions, because I did the work outside the court, I took the court money, and my job was better than anyone else, and the extra overtime naturally required a little overtime pay, which was what the court should give me, fair trade, and the two did not owe each other. Let me see...... Fuwen Pavilion Straight Bachelor (from the third grade), Nanyang Patrol Envoy, Champion General (from the third grade), Yinqing Guanglu Doctor (from the third grade), Jue: Founding of the country; Honor: Captain of the Upper Cavalry; Inspect the Privy Council of Zhan Shi (Zheng Sanpin), Tongzhong Men Ping Zhangshi...... It's a long title, but fortunately I didn't let my son go to Bianliang, the capital, and I'm very satisfied with this reward. ”

Zhao Xing just read a lot of titles that were Jilu officials, and his local officials were restored to the ground, but the addition of "Tongzhongmen Pingzhang Shi" means that he can read the confidential documents of the staff department, and he can also be respected as "envoys". Although it is slightly lower than the "cardinal minister" of the privy envoy. However, it is finally at the level of "Xianggong".

In addition, the imperial court also added him an official position of "Nanyang Patrol Envoy", which the imperial court did not have before, and it is estimated that it was specially added to facilitate his actions against the small Nanyang country.

The edict also rewarded Wan Qianyong and Shuai Fan, and both of them were promoted to the rank of Jiedu envoy and stepped on the threshold of the five-grade official land. You can seal your wife.

Zhao Xing finished reading the holy decree, threw it on the table casually, stared at Sun Cong with burning eyes for a long time, and asked abruptly: "I heard that Xing Shu has been making trouble behind his back recently, is there such a thing?" ”

Sun Cong picked up the teacup. Avoid Zhao Xing's gaze with a cup of tea. But Zhao Xing's words still made him choke, and he squirted out the tea violently, and without waiting for him to answer, Zhao Xing snapped his fingers and said to himself: "The New Party is now firmly seated." Normal infighting began---- Zhang Xianggong (Zhang) disagreed with Li Qingchen, Li Qingchen was impeached, and he went out of Henan Mansion; Zhang Shangying is at odds with the shopper. Zhang Shangying was demoted and went out; Yang Wei and Sun Ge did not agree, and Yang Wei resigned; Zeng Bu Zeng Xianggong attacked Lu Huiqing, but Lu Huiqing was never able to be in the court; Zeng Bu also attacked Zhang and Cai Bian, saying that these two people were capricious in the Fa-changing faction and played a great destructive role.

At the beginning, Xing Shu was proposed by Zhang Xianggong to be appointed as the middle of the imperial history, and since then, Xing Shu has been a proud lackey of Zhang Xianggong, biting wherever he wants. I remember Xing Shu impeaching Sima Xianggong and clamoring for a ban on "Zizhi Tongjian" and picking up Sima Xianggong's grave. But I heard that His Majesty summoned Xing Shu. Q: What about the Outer Chapter? , Xing Shu replied: Zhang's director lies in his courage. What is lost lies in arbitrariness. It can help the danger, but not make it even; It may be used for its own use, but not for the multitude.

It is said that after Xing Shu said this, he felt that he was too relaxed, and added: As a prime minister, you must be good at coordinating and using everyone's talents, and Zhang Wei can't do this...... is there such a thing? ”

Sun Cong reluctantly replied: "Since you know what Xing Shu said, you should also know how the official family answered?" ”

What Zhao Xing said was that Zhang had been in the phase for a long time, and what he did could not satisfy Zhao Xu, and Zhao Xu had gradually begun to be afraid of Zhang, so he asked the imperial history, and the imperial history was to manage the impeachment of hundreds of officials. The little emperor asked about his attitude here, which was actually a hint that Xing Shu would be impeached. But Xing Shu was too eager for quick success, he attacked Zhang fiercely, but it touched the little emperor himself, because the little emperor had infinite trust in Zhang, and personally selected Zhang to be the prime minister, so Xing Shu said that Zhang was not suitable to be the prime minister, in fact, he was also saying that the little emperor was blind and looked at the wrong person. **.com starter**

Of course, the little emperor refused to admit his mistake, and his hints could only stop abruptly---- the official's reply was: "I can control the chapter." ”

As soon as the little emperor said this, Xing Shu, the wind grass, immediately dispelled the idea of impeachment. Soon, when Zhang heard the news, his only recourse was to find a way to divert the attention of the little emperor.

Unfortunately, the financial situation of the Great Song Dynasty is not good now, and it is in the post-disaster recovery stage everywhere, and it is difficult to recover after the natural disaster, coupled with the implementation of the new law, so there are not many areas to choose from.

There is no need to worry about the south with Zhao Xing, Zhang simply delegated power to Zhao Xing. In addition, the rest is Xixia, and Xixia has Lu Huiqing, a big corrupt official, no matter how much military spending is allocated, it is like a bottomless pit, Zhang's only choice is to keep stuffing things into the bottomless pit, hoping that one day the abyss of Lu Huiqing can be filled. As a result, he was in dire need of financial support.

In this case, as long as Zhao Xingken loses money to him, he is willing to agree to any conditions.

The secret was revealed, Sun Cong didn't want to hide it, he sighed and said: "Now the situation is difficult, in July, the place of political affairs is still on the mansion of Zhang Xianggong, but after His Majesty has consulted Xing Shu, the direction of the wind has changed, Zhang Xianggong now urgently needs Brother Zhao's support, for the sake of the past, Brother Zhao, can the spoils of Dali be doubled this time?" ”

Zhao Xing shook his head like a wave drum: "Those pseudo-imperial items in the Dali Palace are all prohibited items, the soldiers did not dare to move a single bit, and the value of those things is immeasurable." There are only a few sets of celadon cups handed down from the Tang Dynasty. It can also be worth millions. These palace supplies alone are estimated to be worth hundreds of millions. In addition to these items, I am willing to add tens of millions more, and I have done my best, don't you force me? ”

Sun Cong shook his head, put aside the topic just now, and took out another holy decree from his arms: "At the beginning of the year, Master Zhang Zhang asked for the transfer of muskets from Guangdong. It was said that the power of the imperial court's musket was too small, but it was a pity that it was inconvenient for the imperial court to transmit information to Quang Nam, and this matter was delayed.

In May, Jingyuan Road prepared for Yao Jin's attack and was surrounded by the Tanguts. All annihilated, and a musket team was also captured by the Tanguts. Lord Zhang Zhang said that the Huanqing musket must be reloaded, but he did not trust the production of the weapons superintendent, and asked the court to discuss with you. Let you help train a 3,000-strong musket team. But Zhang Xiang said: You don't give conditions and don't work, the court has no money now, except for money. What conditions do you have, just mention. ”

"Three permissions", Zhao Xing raised three fingers: "Since the court has opened its mouth, the conditions I proposed are too low, and the court will be very faceless, right?" ”

Sun Cong's face tightened, and he urged: "Tell me more details." ”

"Allowing merchants to purchase property freely in Canton; allow Song merchants who are stranded overseas and have not returned within the time limit to settle down freely; Allowing the Quang Nam Navy to dispatch freely means---- I mean: In the future, our Quang Nam Navy will be dispatched without the need for a transfer order from the Privy Council. ”

Sun Cong let out a long breath and glanced at Zhao Xing in surprise. Answer: "First." The merchants were allowed to buy property freely in Guangzhou, and our Great Song Dynasty never forbade the merchants to buy property freely. For example, the Quanzhou merchants, not only built shops in the city, but also built huge temples, I don't know what you mean, if you say that the merchants are allowed to buy fields, you have filled in the vacant land near Guangzhou, and they are not bad, the imperial court can allow you to let go of your hands and feet in Guangdong a little.

Second, I heard that you are already working on the issue of Song Shang who have not returned to the land within the time limit, and if you want the imperial court to issue a formal license, it is not impossible. As for the third one, it's a little troublesome, but you are transferring the navy, and the Guangnan East Road is far away from the capital, and it will take many days for the information to come and go, and we have allowed you to take charge of the Nanyang attack, and I can promise you for the Privy Council, and you can call on ships with less than thirty ships, and you only need to report afterwards. The Privy Council will never interfere---- the Privy Council is not familiar with naval battles, and if they are allowed to go out of the naval battle formation, I am afraid they will not be able to do so. ”

Zhao Xing asked in surprise: "So refreshing, can you really make decisions for the Privy Council?" ”

Sun Cong replied with a smile: "Not long ago, someone suggested that Liu Zhi and others, who lived in Lingnan, should move to a good place for a while to inspire harmony, but His Majesty said: Liu Zhi and others can migrate!" ---- Boss Zhang explained before he came, as long as your request does not involve demotion to an official, I can agree as I see fit. ”

After that, Sun Cong chuckled and added: "I originally thought that you would make requests for yourself, but your three points are all for the court, for the court, Zhang Xianggong naturally has nothing to do." ”

Zhao Xingqi sneered: "I think that if I really put forward my own request, I am afraid that the court will agree more happily---- you are right, everything I do here is indeed dead for the court." First, allowing the merchants to purchase land or houses can increase the price of land in Guangzhou, and every tax from land transactions will go to the imperial court, and as long as the transaction is vigorous, my tax will come up.

You know that I have been vigorously cultivating land in the past few years, and those wastelands have been turned into mature fields and distributed to the reclamation people. Some of these fields are cultivated by landowners at the beginning of the year, and abandoned at the end of the year, or transferred to relatives and friends, but in any case, Quang Nam rice crops three times a year, and those fields are idle for a month is a waste. Such a huge amount of land is idle, resulting in the price of land not rising, and the tax revenue of the imperial court is also lost, so let the merchants participate, give the merchants the right to purchase land, even if they do not go to farming, they can also maintain the value of the land---- do you know? In the eyes of the merchants, the land of the Great Song Dynasty was the most valuable. ”

Sun Cong nodded: "I must tell the court what you said." ”

"As for the problem of overdue Song Shang, it is also convenient for my pool soldiers, the vast sea, there are no road signs, sometimes, a boat drifts out in a storm, and it may drift out for several months. The sea is so big that a single naval conquest may have to cross the years, because they have to wait for the monsoon and avoid the storm. Therefore, when the navy goes to war, it cannot be calculated in terms of months, but in years.

Each Song merchant is limited to one round trip a year, which is unfair to those who do business. There is the case of Song Shang in front. Our navy also does not dare to go far away, and can only drive around in the bathtub, so we should not limit the date when our people of the Great Song Dynasty can go to sea. When they went to sea, although they did not pay the Dingkou tax and did not serve labor when they were overseas, they also did not enjoy the benefits of the people of the Great Song Dynasty. I didn't put any effort into managing them, so. It's a matter of not being indebted.

In order to allow our sailors and our merchants to go further, I demand that the system of port and sea permits be abolished for the merchants, and that they be allowed to go to sea and trade freely. There is no need to pay a fine when you come back, as long as you pay taxes on the ship. ”

Sun Cong asked in surprise: "In this way, if the merchants go to sea at will and go ashore to sell sea trade goods at will, what do they want the market to do?" How should the city be taxed? ”

Zhao Xing smiled and shook his head: "The goods of Haimao are all bulk orders, and they are thousands of catties, and these goods cannot be sold in their own kitchens." Because people wait for the ground, maybe the goods also wait, but the ship can't afford to wait, as soon as the ship is vacant, the ship full of sailors has to be raised, the ship has to be repaired, and every day of rest is to burn a day's money, so the maritime merchants need to throw out the goods as soon as possible---- and some goods can neither stand the moisture nor be stored for too long. So they have to go to the big professional market to sell.

You can rest assured. The city only needs to build a large market, and then build the corresponding warehouses and docks. Their goods must always be unloaded from the wharf, always stored in the warehouse, and always sold as soon as possible, and the three keys of living in the wharf, the warehouse, and the large trading field can already be taxed.

Tell the ministers of the court that the goods of the sea trade are not the vegetables of the vegetable garden, and anyone who passes can pull them out and put them in their pockets, and overseas businessmen come to us to do trade, sell the goods as soon as possible, and fill their ships as soon as possible, this is their intention, so the tax evasion in the sea trade is much more troublesome and costly than the tax evasion of our own merchants...... He is an overseas businessman who is not familiar with the place and does not have that mind. ”

Zhao Xing was here to laugh at the ministers of the court for being too conscious of the peasants, Sun Cong directly ignored his ridicule, and he nodded again and again: "I will explain it in detail to Zhang Xianggong when I go back, of course, if you can write a letter and state all the reasons, it will be more convenient for me." ”

Zhao Xing smiled, he stared at Sun Cong playfully, and suddenly asked, "How is Your Majesty's health?" ”

Sun Cong was stunned for a moment, and replied slowly: "Your Majesty is often ill, the imperial doctor diagnosed His Majesty's illness as a symptom of semen, and the little emperor is not in good health, this is not a secret in the Great Song Dynasty, the outside world has long known that Zhezong's life is difficult to protect, and Fan Bailu, the middle waiter, once served as a waiter, knows Zhezong very well, and is deeply concerned about his health." Not long ago, when he went out of Hezhong Mansion (now Puzhou Town, Yongji County, Shanxi), he specialized in Shu Zhezong. Citing Confucius's saying: "When there is little, the blood and qi are undecided, and the precepts are in color", and warned Zhezong to pay attention to "the way of maintaining health" and "the art of longevity and health".

The courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty have long been talking about the 18-year-old little emperor who may not live long, the emperor's cause is caused by extreme sexual indulgence, he began to play with women at the age of nine, and he had to find a nurse at the age of eleven. According to traditional Chinese medicine, when people are small, the essence is not solidified, and the little emperor is too indulgent, and if he wants to be in an ordinary family, he should have died a long time ago. The reason why he is still not dead is because he is the emperor, and he eats too much royal-level tonic supplies, and ordinary people can't afford to eat them if they want to.

The little emperor was very dismissive of the ministers' admonitions, he firmly believed that he was wise and martial, longevity boundless, and under the hedonistic fashion of the Great Song Dynasty, whoever advised him to be temperate, he would clean him up. Recently, it has been rumored in the palace that the little emperor has "seen the wind and shed tears", and he needs to cover a heavy fur to fall asleep at night, and the eiderdown quilt given to him by Zhao Xing is even more indispensable......

Sun Cong tried his best to divert the topic and asked about the situation of Zhao Xing Dali: "When do you plan to send the Dali royal family to Beijing, and can you send it in the first month?" His Majesty thought that it should not be more than the third day of March at the latest, when the Jinming Pond was opened, and it happened to be celebrated by the whole world. ”

Zhao Xing agreed very happily: "The seizures of Dali have been registered and sealed, and the royal brothers are also detained on the throne, if Brother Sun is in a hurry, I will send a ship to transport them tomorrow, and they will arrive in Beijing in November." ”

Sun Cong smiled lightly: "Since Liren plans to transport Duan's brother by sea, then send a message to the imperial court first, so that the imperial court can be prepared, so that you can send a quick letter to the imperial court, and make an appointment on the New Year's Day ---- make an appointment." On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, they arrived in Yangzhou and asked them to go by land, and arrived in Beijing on the first day, so that the ministers of Beijing could prepare for the sacrifice...... However, the book of the seized goods must be sent to the capital in advance, and I will go back today to write a memo and send it to the capital with your speedboat. ”

It was impossible to measure the speed of ships in the age of sailing because there was none, and the data could not be as accurate as it is now. After the invention of the airplane, ships no longer pay attention to speed and pursue cargo capacity, and have since embarked on another direction of development. Therefore, the speed of modern ships cannot be measured by the "number of knots" of the galleon era, the two are not the same concept. Moreover, the speed of ships in the sailing era cannot be measured by the speed of ships in China, because in modern China, overloading is a normal phenomenon, and ferries always use motors with as little horsepower as possible to drive as large ships as possible in order to save costs.

In modern times, it takes about five to ten days to sail all the way from Guangzhou to Hangzhou, while in the era of galleons, it took seven days for ocean-going freighters to reach Africa. It is said that the sailing ships of the galleon era in Australia were able to sail at speeds of 45 knots, which is much faster than the 5 to 10 knots and an average of 8 knots of modern Chinese domestic ferries.

With Zhao Xing's efforts, Hangzhou now arrives in Guangzhou as fast as two days, slower, that is, four days, usually plus the time of loading and unloading, it takes about nine days for the sea ship to sail directly to Yangzhou. If you go by road, it will take three months to move quickly; The slow, such as Su Shi's speed, is eight months.

From the point of view of time, Zhao Xing really wants to launch, let the ship come and go quickly, and he can complete the letter exchange with the Beijing division in October, and there is one month left for Zhao Xing to prepare for the sacrifice of prisoners.

After calculating the time in this way, Sun Cong relaxed his mood and asked Zhao Xing again: "Brother Liren, last month, Xihe said: There are tribes in Xibo who come to recognize the Karo Valley as their ancestral land, and send people to graze along the river.

What Boss Zhang means is that now the troops in Shaanxi are tight and they can't cope with the Qingtang people behind them. Since you have taken Dali, what Zhang Xianggong means is, can you let the Guangxi army press up, press to the border of Tubo, and let Tubo restrain the Qingtang tribe---- since Tubo wants to attack us, we can also attack Tubo. ”

Zhao Xing immediately took over the topic and asked, "What does the imperial court think of Dali?" ”

ps: Sorry, there's been something lately, the update is over, and it will be updated tomorrow as usual...... Hee-hee, although the update is late, we can't help but be diligent if we want tickets, tickets, I love, readers, come more!
