Chapter 719: Treasures Everywhere
Wu Yu died, and Song Zhen also had this plan, he held the dagger and held it for a night, but he was not willing to stab it in the neck or wrist.
When it was dawn, Song Zhen sighed dejectedly, he threw the dagger to the ground, turned around and went out to wash, and when he was done, he returned to the house, picked up the dagger on the ground, and carefully hid it in his boots.
Maybe the time will come, even if you don't want to die!
Song Zhen looked up to the sky and sighed, but he didn't have any idea.
Just now, Zhao Zhen made a decree, if someone wants to commit suicide and avoid distribution, even the nine clans will be distributed together, and none of them will be spared.
Wu Yu died, and his family did not escape, but Zhao Zhen was still merciful and agreed to leave two distant nephews to run the funeral for Wu Yu and guard the tomb.
For these two places, the Wu family actually fought.
Just in front of Wu Yu's coffin, the bones are not cold!
It's so boring to die!
Song Zhen simply accepted his fate, although the Western Regions were terrible, they would not immediately kill people.
Besides, the Hexi Corridor has not yet been fully opened, depending on Wang Ning'an's meaning, he hopes to stay in the northwest for a while, so that they can stay in the Great Song Dynasty for a few more days.
If you really can't stand the barbarism of the Western Regions, it's not too late to commit suicide at that time!
Song Zhen subconsciously touched the dagger in his boots.
Like him, more than a dozen people from the Qiying Society, as well as a group of guilty officials who had recently been disposed of, Zhao Zhen simply came to a large wholesale, and all of them were stuffed to Wang Ning'an and asked him to take them to the Western Regions together.
The little prince Zhao Shu was very ashamed, he felt that his father was a gentleman wearing small shoes.
The environment in the Western Regions is so bad, you should send some cadres with both ability and political integrity to get a bunch of criminals, isn't this causing chaos for Mr.?
Zhao Shu's fiefdom is in Qingtang, he has to go and see it in person, to put it bluntly, he still wants to accompany the master, as well as the master, and the dogtooth, they have a ride, and if they encounter any trouble, he can directly find Zhao Zhen to react.
All in all, Zhao Shu felt that his father had done something unkind.
It was Wang Ning'an, who carefully questioned these criminals.
Among them, there are those who are greedy for public funds for the cultivation of the river, those who oppress and oppress the good, and those who occupy the land of the people, those who kill the good and those who take advantage of the merits, and those who buy and sell officials...... All in all, there are a lot of immoral things that are capable of being officials.
Wang Ningan listened very carefully, and then found their files again and read them carefully.
When he finished reading, Wang Ningan laughed.
"My Emperor Shengming, you can send me a large number of talents!"
Zhao Shu and Gouya'er came back on horseback outside, and when they saw Wang Ning'an dancing, the two little guys were quite puzzled. Zhao Shu couldn't help but complain, "Master, these guys are all terrible, I think they should all be beheaded, how can you treat them as treasures?" ”
Wang Ningan blinked and said with a smile: "Your Highness, if you want Qingtang to be as stable as a mountain, and be able to contribute taxes every year and live and work in peace and contentment, you have to reuse these people!" ”
"Reuse them?" Zhao Shu's jaw was about to fall in shock.
"Master, you don't have a fever, do you? What can these bad guys do? ”
"They can do a lot." Wang Ningan casually pointed to a file of buying and selling officials, "This person can be the head of the house!" ”
The regulation of the royal palace, modeled after the imperial court, set up the minister of state, Zhan Shi, and set up six rooms, corresponding to six departments, responsible for the government affairs of the fiefdom.
Zhao Shu shook his head again and again when he heard this, "Master, this is a thief who sells his official beard!" How can you use him? ”
"Your Highness, in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, buying and selling officials, of course, you have to kill your head, but when you go to Qingtang and the Western Regions, it is not a crime to buy and sell officials."
"What's that?"
"It's Dezheng!"
Zhao Shu was puzzled and kept shaking his little head.
Wang Ningan smiled and looked at the dog's teeth, "Can you figure it out?" ”
"This ......" Gouya scratched her head, "Dad, is it related to the imperial examination?" ”
"Well, go on."
After receiving encouragement, Gouya'er became even more bold, "There is no imperial examination in the Western Regions, so the people at the bottom can't climb to the top at all, except to be a slave to the nobles!" Just like a chatter, after he took control of Qingtang, the territory, pasture, and people were divided among his three sons, and his sons divided their respective territories to their relatives...... Blood! They all rule the territory by blood! If it weren't for the noble bloodline, there would be no chance of being in power at all...... What about buying and selling officials? It is to use money to award officials, in contrast, whoever has more money can become an official, in other words, as long as you work hard to make money, you can change your fate! ”
"I see!"
Dogtooth shook his fist excitedly, very proud.
Zhao Shu was still confused.
Dogtooth laughed and said: "How simple is this, because the Great Song Dynasty has a fairer system for electing officials, so buying and selling officials is damned." But there is no in the Western Regions, compared to blood, using money to buy officials is more progressive and fair! And people who can spend money to buy officials should be either rich or expensive, and their brains are very effective, they can control the people, and they can also contribute a sum of money, killing two birds with one stone! ”
Dogtooth said, and turned out another file, "Dad, is this official who seized the people's land capable of doing things in Tuntian?" ”
"That's right, someone does need to snatch the land from the natives, and then divide it out."
Wang Ningan picked up the file of a general who killed good people and made meritorious contributions, "What do you say this person is suitable for?" ”
"I know! It's the people who clean up the soil, and if they dare not give up the land, they will send him to kill! "Dogtooth smiled crookedly, full of little fox.
Zhao Shu has been trained by Wang Ningan for so long, and he has changed a lot, but when he hears this, he is still inevitably messy. Oh my God, what the hell is the Western Regions? What are they going to do in the Western Regions?
The little prince couldn't help but hold his head, staring at the files, and became entangled again.
……
Wang Ningan felt that everything was imperceptible, there was no need to force Zhao Shu to become another person, it was still that sentence, he could not understand, as long as he could understand!
The centaurs continued to move forward, leaving the bustling Luoyang farther and farther away.
The west wind gusts, the wheat waves on both sides are rolling, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the blue is like washing.
Occasionally, goshawks fly by, or rows of geese move south, decorating the blue sky.
The vast northwest land is not barren, on the contrary, it makes people feel a sense of sudden enlightenment.
In the first two days of coming out, Yang Xi pretended to be the head of the family, the princess, and kept stuffy in the carriage. But on the third day, she couldn't hold back any longer.
Riding a red horse, galloping in the field, surrounding the advancing team, galloping wildly, letting the wind blow in his face, blowing his clothes and hunting.
Cool, really cool!
The people accompanying him also knew that this princess was the daughter of the Yang family, and she played a ruthless role!
Yang Xi let herself go, what is surprising is that Su Banniang is a talented woman, and she can even ride a horse, not to mention, she can actually hunt.
When they were resting, they got two fat hares, roasted them with oil, and several ladies gathered together to enjoy the pleasure of picnics.
Su Shi saw that his saliva was long, and he ran over to pray, but only caught a rabbit head that was almost nibbled.
"Quite a big man, hungry to hunt by himself!"
I was taught a lesson by my sister.
Su Shi was also ruthless, so he had to run out to hunt, but he was the most impatient, shouting, poor archery, didn't catch anything, and lost a boot.
In the end, Gouyaer hunted a pheasant and gave it to Dasu to soothe his wounded heart!
In the face of the miserable Da Su, Wang Ningan only has one question, just his virtue, "The old man talks about juvenile madness, the left leads the yellow, and the right Qingcang", what can he catch?
It's no wonder that if he wants to take an eagle and a dog with him, he can only end up empty-handed, and by the way, there is also an empty foot!
After a few days, Xu was infected by the Wang family, and Wen Yanbo was not so depressed.
He is still the head of the civil service, and he has the big seals of the prime ministers of several countries, and he holds real power.
Although it is not as majestic as the political hall, it is better than some others! Song Zhen, Liang Shi, Chu Jianzhong, Wang Shanggong...... These elders of the Senior Ying Society, except for Fu Bi, all had to follow them to the Western Regions.
They don't have a carriage to sit on, they don't have horses to ride, and each person is given a donkey, even if they take care of the elderly.
What they ate was a coarse hard-flour cake, which ran through their throats like sand, and they couldn't eat it for the first few days, but the people and horses continued to walk, with no food in their stomachs, and they were dizzy with hunger, and no one cared about them.
Coming out for three days, they had to eat.
And he also followed the example of the soldiers, and put the cakes by the fire, and baked them hot, and even a little burnt, which tasted different.
"I said, brothers, this man must be able to enjoy happiness and suffering. It's not that I chew my tongue, what can you do if you don't accept it? Wen Yanbo nibbled on the leg of mutton and said unashamedly.
The old guys all turned their heads and glanced at him from the corners of their little eyes!
If you have the surname Wen, you will be shameless!
Don't let us turn over, when we take power, we have to force you to eat hard cakes for a lifetime!
Wen Yanbo swept a few old guys and deliberately nibbled on the fat and tender mutton.
"If there is a gain, there is a loss, and if there is a loss, there is a gain...... Although it is far away from the prosperity of the capital, it also has a special taste in the northern and western regions! Let's take mutton as an example, I can't catch up with the capital, it's delicious, it's really delicious! ”
Don't just say it, you can give us a little bit!
If you have the surname Wen, you should be struck by lightning!
These few endured stomach pain, too lazy to look at Wen Yanbo, and even more lazy to listen to him. After walking out for a month, Wen Yanbo finally found out in his conscience and gave them a roast whole sheep - it turned out that the people had passed through Changle Town and had arrived in Lanzhou.
This border city, once a place repeatedly contested by the Song and Xia, has now become a commercial center.
Wen Yanbo, Song Zhen, and Liang Shi all felt that the Hexi Corridor was still in the hands of the Western Xia, and the trade routes were cut off, and there would not be many merchants, but as a result, they all made mistakes.
There is a commercial street in Changle Town, and both sides are full of merchants who have recently arrived, and all kinds of specialties are full of stalls...... There were agate, white jade, spices, whole pieces of star anise, and precious furs, which were piled up into a hill.
"How much?" Wen Yanbo casually pointed to a pile of white jade.
"Ten dollars." The merchant replied.
Wen Yanbo's eyes lit up, it seems that it is much cheaper than the capital!
"Give you money." He pulled out a roll of handbags and handed it to the vendor.
The peddler was very familiar with Jiaozi, and after checking the authenticity, he happily put the jade into a skin bag and stuffed it into Wen Yanbo. It's so far away from the stall, Wen Yanbo is still like a dream!
"Oh my God, the old man wants a piece, not a bag!!"
