"Punish the country thief, kill the profiteer! Punish the country thief, kill the profiteer......"

The morning of the fourth day of the fifth month of the fifth year of the Great Song Dynasty. The earth-shaking shout sounded in the Xuandemen Square outside the imperial city of Kaifeng Mansion.

The Fourth Movement of the Fifth Lunar New Year, which was called the first anti-imperialist (imperialist) and anti-feudal patriotic movement in Chinese history, broke out vigorously.

The fierceness of this movement not only completely exceeded the expectations of Kaifeng Mansion and the Imperial City Division, but also exceeded the expectations of Zhang Jun, He Li, Liu Qi and others, the initiators of the movement.

These movement leaders wanted to punish the national thieves, but they were not really punished, but they were exaggerated when the literati were sparse. These thieves are all from the Jinshi master who is famous outside the Donghua Gate, and now they are noble and high-grade civil officials, and they have betrayed the country at the behest of the officials......

If Zhang Jun, He Li, and Liu Qi did such a thing, they would not have become civil and official enemies? Sooner or later, your head will have to move!

As for killing profiteers...... Zhang Jun, He Li, and Liu Qi didn't even think about it. Although the Great Song Dynasty had a tradition of "officialization", there were also cases where the government forced businessmen to bankrupt one after another. But the "killing of profiteers" rarely happens.

If he can be killed, what kind of changes will Wang Anshi make, find some of the broadest businessmen in the Great Song Dynasty, and commit some crimes, and it will be over if he kills his head and robs his family.

But such a happy thing rarely happened in the Song Dynasty, and it may never have happened in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Because these civil officials in the Northern Song Dynasty still knew that it was not feasible to kill chickens and take eggs. The government of the Song Dynasty was directly involved in production and business activities, and the scale was still very large, and it could also obtain a lot of income from it. This determined that the Northern Song Dynasty court had to treat merchants more gently.

If you slaughter a few profiteers at every turn, then no one will dare to buy (contract) official property and commercial markets, and no one will believe the various banknotes issued by the imperial court.

In addition, many of the students who participated in this movement were also from businessmen! Most of the students of the Qingcheng School Palace in Kaifeng Mansion were born in the wealthy merchants of Kaifeng Mansion, Daimyo Mansion and Yingtian Mansion.

If the spearhead of the struggle is rashly directed at the profiteers, there is a high risk that the movement will split.

But where can they, the student leaders, control those old Bianliang who took the opportunity to make a fuss? These old Bianliang may not think that 800,000 coins are expensive...... In today's Kaifeng Mansion, an independent "Shikumen" residence is casually thirty or forty thousand! 800,000 is just twenty or thirty houses.

Is it really meaningful to fight the Kingdom of Jin for this amount?

And what really annoys the old Bianliang is the increasingly expensive housing prices, prices, and declining wages.

On the one hand, income is declining, and on the other hand, prices are high! Isn't this the fault of the profiteers? It's not that profiteers hoard, speculate on housing prices and prices, and always hire poor people from other towns, so that the locals of Kaifeng Mansion have nothing to eat!

The angry crowd gathered more and more, and it didn't take long for the square outside the Xuande Gate to be full of people. However, the people of Kaifeng Prefecture who heard the news continued to join the movement. Most of the new people came from the north of Kaifeng Prefecture, and they were all bad old forbidden soldiers or children of the forbidden army.

They were victims of the military reforms of the Song Dynasty! The old forbidden army has been continuously reduced over the past decade or so, and no new recruits have been recruited.

This is a great blow to the old forbidden army families who have been in the army for generations!

The soldiers of the forbidden army not only mean an iron rice bowl, but also means identity and establishment.

Set up a stall, do a small business, go out to escort the gang ship, the official ship and carry some private goods by the way, all of them must be covered by the identity of the forbidden army.

Kaifeng Prefecture is in charge of public security, and those who manage tax collection are generally vanguards. How dare the soldiers fight with the forbidden army? The matter was big, the soldiers of the forbidden army cried outside the Donghua Gate, and the lord of Kaifeng Mansion couldn't eat and walked around. It is not wrong for the Northern Song Dynasty to use civil and imperial forces, but it is also a common practice that civilian officials cannot bully the Kaifeng forbidden army. Because the safety of the official family is entrusted to the Kaifeng forbidden army generals!

However, the forbidden army has not recruited many people since ten years ago, and it has been changed to a new army.

Although many children of the forbidden army were recruited into the new army, the new army was "in the battalion at four o'clock, served for five years, and returned home after decommissioning." Although there is a sufficient amount of military pay to be paid, the new army is not an iron rice bowl after all, nor is it an identity.

Soldiers of the Forbidden Army can do business, they can go to work as bodyguards to escort ships. And the officers and men of the new army could not leave the camp without permission, so they could only take a few dead soldiers. At the end of a year, it is only a few dozen yuan, and if you don't spend it, you can save it, and it will only be more than two hundred yuan in five years. What can you do in Kaifeng Province?

So you can imagine how miserable the old forbidden army has been over the years!

I don't know how many men who grew up lived this three-no life of no house, no money, and no wife, just struggling to be full.

Now when they see someone making trouble, they naturally rush over to make a fuss. I don't want anything, just a bad breath.

Since they are here to make trouble, there are no rules for this group of old forbidden soldiers and the children of the forbidden army. Coming all the way from Maqian Street, the shops and vendors along the way were unlucky, and they were smashed and burned by them!

The northwest corner of the entire inner city of Kaifeng Mansion was quickly in chaos......

……

"Your Majesty, the old imperial city is getting more and more chaotic, and the area around Maqian Street and Panlou Street is even more chaotic, and there are thieves who take the opportunity to rob shops and set fire to houses......"

"Your Majesty, it was the four scholars who took the lead in making trouble, they were originally going to be subdued and opposed to giving Jin Guo's coins, but somehow, it got bigger and bigger."

"Your Majesty, now outside the Xuande Gate and Donghua Gate in the old imperial city, there are all chaotic people, and the Yuqing Daode Palace is also surrounded by chaotic people...... And there are also forbidden troops involved in the rebellion! Please send an edict to your Majesty and transfer the new army outside the city into the city to suppress it! ”

In Qionglin Palace, in the Chongzheng Palace, the important ministers have already arrived, and all of them are pale.

Zhao Ji, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, sat on the throne and listened to the report of the grand chapter of the Kaifeng Mansion and the promotion of the imperial city to Liang Fangping, the secretary of the imperial city.

The current Quanzhi Kaifeng Mansion is also a ruthless person, and he is not merciless when he rectifies the law and order of Kaifeng Mansion on weekdays, and is famous for his results. But today, I was so frightened that my face turned blue.

He also personally led people to Xuande Gate to suppress the bomb before, but when he encountered the troublesome old forbidden army, he fought with the soldiers of Kaifeng Mansion on the spot.

This group of old forbidden soldiers also includes some old and unsatisfactory former warriors, and some former soldiers of the new army who have no future after retiring from the new army. These families are very fierce, and they can pick up a bench, a stick, and a table leg, and beat up the soldiers of the box army who can't hold their swords and guns steadily.

If it weren't for Sheng Zhang's fast escape, most of them would have been killed at this time.

So he simply portrayed this incident as a military rebellion in front of Song Daozong, and proposed to transfer troops to suppress it.

Zhao Ji also has no idea, such a thing has not happened in the Great Song Dynasty until now!

He hurriedly looked at Deng Xunwu, the Privy Councillor, and Tong Guan, the Privy Councillor.

Deng Xun Wudao: "Your Majesty, there are 30 battalions of new troops stationed in the Mu Daogang battalion, and they can be transferred to Beijing to suppress!" ”

When Tong Guan heard this, he hurriedly spoke: "By all means, the new army of Mu Daogang is filled by local strong men in Kaifeng, and half of them are children of the forbidden army. ”

"It's the children of the forbidden army, and it's also the soldiers and horses of the imperial court!" Deng Xun said, "Do you still dare to rebel?" ”

Tong Guan glanced at Deng Xunwu, "In the past, there were many people from the Kaifeng Forbidden Army in the army of Wu Haogu!" He then said to Zhao Ji, "The old forbidden army made trouble because of hardship, not to rebel......

"Hardship?" Taishi Cai Jingdao, "Now that Kaifeng is prosperous and the people are happy, how can the forbidden army feel difficult?" Did the court shorten their salaries, or did they lose their rewards? ”

"Your Majesty did not treat them lightly," Tong Guan said, "but the prices of goods in the capital are high, the housing prices are high, and the money obtained by the soldiers of the forbidden army is not enough to feed and clothe the family." ”

Cai Jing snorted: "Who doesn't know that this group of old forbidden soldiers has no intention of joining the army at all, and they all have their own livelihoods." The court has raised them for so many years, isn't it enough? Tong Shumi, when the forbidden army was changed to a new army in the past, you were also in favor of it, right? ”

"It's right to change the forbidden army to a new army," Tong Guan shook his head and said, "But in the past few years, the things in Kaifeng Mansion have been too expensive, and the housing prices are even more expensive...... When our family first came back from Shuofang, they were all scared! ”

Cai Jing spread his hands, "The price is expensive because there are too many rich families in Hebei and Hedong gathered in Kaifeng Prefecture, and the supply of Caoyun is not enough." What can be done? In other places, where prices are low, they refuse to go. ”

Zhao Ji frowned, "Cai Qing, how do you think you should deal with it now?" Do you want to transfer troops into the city? ”

Cai Jing said: "Your Majesty, now we must transfer troops into the city to suppress the chaotic people." However, at the same time, Wu Haowen, who betrayed the country, should be sent to the Yushitai Prison for questioning, and the four students went to the book because he betrayed the country, and now he must be arrested.

In addition, he ordered Kaifeng Prefecture to arrest a few profiteers who raised prices, so as to make the people angry. ”

"Okay, just do it!" Zhao Ji paused, "Do you still want to give that year's coin?" ”

"Don't give it!" Cai Jingdao.

"What?" Zhao Ji's heart twitched.

Cai Jing hurriedly added: "But you can redeem the people of Hedong and Shuofang who were plundered to the north with 800,000 yuan.

In addition, you can also take advantage of the mutual market to buy cattle, horses, and sheep from the gold people at a high price. ”

Cai Jing's brain is active in the end! All of a sudden, I came up with a way to see the best of both worlds.

"Okay, it's better for Cai Qing to be serious." Zhao Ji paused, "Zhang Kegong! ”

"The minister is here." Zhang Kegong is now the middle of the imperial history.

"You personally take the Imperial Historian to get the Wuhao Wen ......," Zhao Ji said, "Go to Xuande Gate before you go to Xuande Gate and announce this matter to the scholars."

But don't remember that you must not hurt a single hair of Wu Haowen, otherwise you are the only one who asks! ”

Of course, Wu Haowen went to the Imperial History Prison to pretend. Mo said that he was just betraying the country by order, even if he talked to Jin Guo about the New Year's coin without Zhao Ji's will, he would not be punished...... His elder brother is a martial arts ancient who dominates one side, and his younger brother is Wu Haode, the most favored courtier of the official family!
