Chapter 245: The Power of Speech

Meng Fang sighed: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work!" How did this Anhua man come down? ”

Zhang Hanyang, Chen Guo, Ou Zhenglong, Feng Shenji and several other civil and military officials sighed for a long time, and their bitterness was overflowing. In the past, there was not such a big feeling as today, and it was really a penny that was difficult to defeat a hero.

Zhao Yu suddenly said: "Actually, it's not impossible to ask for money!" As long as there are businessmen coming, how much business tax is collected? ”

Everyone else in the council hall hung their heads in silence, why did they hang their heads? They were afraid that if they raised their heads, they would let their disdainful gaze be seen by Zhao Yu. If Fang Cai's words weren't said by Zhao Yu, I don't know how many disdainful glances pierced over like sharp blades!

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Don't be whimsical to this king!" There's a lot to be done here! ”

Ma Yu couldn't help but speak: "The prince thinks things too easily, right? Our Guangnan West Road does not talk about poor mountains and bad waters, and it is not stable along the way. There are many detention states in the territory, these detention states are poor a copper coin is eager to split when two coins, there are businessmen, traders passing by, all have to collect taxes, maybe the tax is not much, but Guangnan West Road in the territory of the detention of the state, Haoqiang many, all add up, this money is a lot! ”

Zhao Yu said: "What if it's an official businessman? ”

"Collusion between officials and businessmen?" Peng Rui said naturally.

Zhao Yu had a black line, and Ma Yu coughed violently.

The other civil and military officials glanced at Peng Rui with a slightly blue face. Your sister, we are all officials, and you say that officials and businessmen collude, isn't this sarcastic to us?

Peng Rui also came back to his senses. Hurriedly explained: "That's not what the last general meant! Weekend...... The last general ......"

Zhao Yu shook his head slightly. "That's it! The king knows you don't mean that. Just don't talk! ”

Peng Rui stopped his mouth in a daze.

However, Zhao Yu also felt that the term official and businessman was not good, whether it was or not, but he gave people the feeling that he was complicit. After a pause, Zhao Yu said: "The term official and businessman is really not good, so it is called a salary businessman." The government and business are joint ventures, and the local government cannot collect taxes, and the transportation is escorted by soldiers and horses on our Guangnan West Road. The money obtained from the sale of merchants shall be proportionate. Play their proper role. ”

"I'm afraid there will be opinions from the court! And how much money can I get for this? Meng is skeptical.

Feng Shenji also nodded and said, "Yes! Lord, don't you know how cheap things are on Quang Nam West Road, and building a wooden house here is just a consistent money! If it's in places like Gangneung, it's not a lot of money! ”

Ma Yu also said: "Lord Wang, it's not just the above problems! There is also this tax exemption, and the local yamen is afraid that there are opinions! It's okay for us on Guangnan West Road to say, if you look at the prince, at most you will complain! But out of Guangnan West Road, who will sell our face on Guangnan West Road? ”

Zhao Yu sneered: "Are our soldiers on Guangnan West Road dead?" ”

Ma Yu was shocked. hurriedly persuaded: "Lord Wang, this is absolutely not good!" There is a fratricidal war between brothers and horses, and the official family is afraid that they will be thundered and angry! ”

Zhao Yu also hesitated a little when he heard this. After all, it's a big trouble, and the transfer of other roads is certainly not good, but his own prince will not be good there. Maybe this has become an excuse for Song Renzong to deal with himself, and he doesn't have to kill his head, Song Renzong will take the opportunity to let Zhao Yu be a free prince for a lifetime.

Feng Shenji proposed: "Lord Wang, this matter can be reported to the imperial court!" If the imperial court does not allocate money, it also wants us to allocate money on Guangnan West Road, if we don't even give a special order, this matter will make the court disgraced! ”

Zhao Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this, don't forget that Zhao Yu has a weapon on hand! Qingzhou Di Bao!

Although Qingzhou Di Bao was forced to hand over movable type printing, the rise of the local Di Bao suppressed the momentum of Qingzhou Di Bao's skyrocketing. The development of Di Bao could not be only one movable type printing?

Although Zhao Yu is not familiar with newspapers, he has been in contact with them. It is much stronger than those local newspapers, so now Qingzhou Mansion Newspaper is the most influential newspaper in the Central Plains such as Jingdong West Road and Jingdong East Road, and it also has considerable influence on Hebei, Jiangnan and other places.

Once Zhang Shixun, the old guy, dares to disagree, Zhao Yu will dare to make Qingzhou Mansion report make trouble! At that time, it will definitely not be himself who will be disgraced, but Zhang Shixun, a guy who will only rely on the old and sell the old!

If you think of it, you can do it, and at that moment Zhao Yu asked Du Xiansheng to draft a recital.

This drafting is naturally not so simple, Zhao Yu also asked Wang Ranbo to discuss, but Wang Ranbo was insensitive to this. He wholeheartedly wants to get Zhang Shixun's support, where will he do things for Zhao Yu sincerely?

Not only did he do something, but he also secretly asked someone to send a letter to Zhang Shixun and told Zhang Shixun about it.

In fact, Zhao Yu and Wang Ranbo inquired about each other, so that Wang Ranbo could send a letter to Zhang Shixun, and first startled the snake. Zhang Shixun pondered this matter, and after receiving the fold, he either readily agreed, or flatly refused, which also saved Zhao Yu's time.

In order to overturn the old guy Zhang Shixun in the first time, Zhao Yu specially wrote to Liu Zhiran, the editor of the head office of Qingzhou Di Daily, and said in his heart: This consultation on the public heart of the Duke of Yingguo, if you regard personal grievances on the public family, you should destroy it with a knife and pen! The public should act cheaply, the words are spicy, and the king should be the backing!

On 12 June, more than a dozen officials at or above the state level, including Ma Yu in the jurisdiction of the soldiers and horses on the Guangnan West Road in Guizhou, Feng Shenji, the judge of Guizhou, and Meng Fang, the governor of Yizhou, wrote to the imperial court, pleading for the establishment of a salary merchant.

Originally, it was used to raise salaries, but Gongsun Xuanxu felt that the name was too vulgar, so he reduced one word, and it was slightly more elegant to read.

…… Bianliang ......

Because Zhao Yu was sent to Bianliang City with a fast horse, it only took eighteen days to send it to Zhang Shixun's case at the end of the month.

Zhang Shixun took the fold handed over by his subordinates, opened it and glanced at it, and snorted coldly: "If you go to draft it, you will say that there has never been such an example, and you can't ask for it!" Go now, and let the messenger from Quang Nam West Road bring it back! We in Bianliang also sent people to Guangnan West Road! ”

The official was more familiar with Zhang Shixun, so he boldly asked: "Guogong, why did you refuse at a glance?" What impractical things are being raised on Quang Nam West Road? ”

Zhang Shixun said disapprerovingly: "I actually said that I want to cooperate with businessmen to prepare money, which is ridiculous!" Isn't this a collusion between officials and business? ”

The official hesitated and said: "Although this is ridiculous, but the court does not allocate money, it is indeed unreasonable, if you don't even give a special order, it is inevitably a little unreasonable!" Why don't you allocate 100,000 to it! ”

Zhang Shixun's face darkened, and he said, "One hundred thousand, you said it easily!" In order to prepare for the expenses of Western Xia, Benxiang doesn't know how many gray hairs he has! There's money there for that backcountry! ”

The official didn't dare to say anything more, so he resigned and retreated.

Zhang Shixun didn't take this time too seriously, and when he got up the next day, he habitually ate morning food while reading a Shilin Mansion newspaper and went to the office.

When he arrived at the Yamen, he didn't know why, Zhang Shixun felt that the atmosphere was strange today, and the other officials looked at him very strangely, and they were not as respectful as in the past, with a perfunctory taste. It's just one or two, but almost everyone is like this, which makes Zhang Shixun can't help but be depressed.

As soon as he arrived at the office room, he saw a person sitting inside, Huo Ran stood up and said, "Guogong, you are here!" ”

Zhang Shixun fixed his eyes and saw that it was Li Khanzhi, the son of Li Di, a world friend, and the official residence serving the imperial history and miscellaneous affairs. Although Zhang Shixun saw Li Khan looking anxious, he boasted that the sea was up and down, what else could stump him? Therefore, he still looked calm and asked, "Gongming, why did you come to Shangshu Province?" Don't you have to do things there? ”

Zhang Shixun was old, so Song Renzong authorized Zhang Shixun to go to court once in five days and once in three days. However, don't look at Zhang Shixun's age, but his desire for power has not been reduced, so he goes to the government every day. But in the end, he is already old, so he will come an hour late every day. When he was in office, other officials had already started working, so he said so.

Li Cambodia said helplessly: "Guogong didn't read the Qingzhou Mansion newspaper? ”

As soon as he heard the Qingzhou Mansion Newspaper, although he faced Li Khan Zhi, Zhang Shixun's face turned dark, and he said with a slight coldness: "What is there to see about the Mansion Newspaper run by the traitorous king?" ”

Only then did Li Khan know that Zhang Shixun hated the house and Wu, and he didn't even read this newspaper of the most influential folk mansion in the Central Plains. I don't know if it's time to laugh or cry. Shaking his head, Li Cambodia took out the Qingzhou Di Bao he brought and said, "Guogong, look, this is today's special issue of the Qingzhou Di Bao!" ”

Although he disdains the Qingzhou Mansion Newspaper, since Li Cambodia shows it to himself, there must be a reason. Zhang Shixun hesitated slightly, but still took it, because he was old and his vision was blurry, so he looked carefully and saw the title clearly. But it's okay not to look at it, at a glance, Zhang Shixun only felt a surge of blood rushing to his heart.

"Rather abandon the land! Don't be hateful! 》

A slight glance reveals that there is also a title underneath. "The Enmity of the Duke of Yingguo and the King of Wei"

Needless to say, let's talk about how Zhang Shixun suppressed Guangnan West Road for selfishness. In order to arouse the anger of the people, it is also exaggerated that according to a handyman who happened to pass by, Zhang Shixun told an official that he would rather occupy the territory of the Great Song Dynasty for An Huaman, and take the opportunity to pull King Wei off his horse.

Needless to say, don't look at who the boss of Qingzhou Mansion is in the future? In the article, Zhang Shixun was described as a traitor who was in power, and Zhao Yu was a petty sufferer who was dedicated to the public, and kept giving in for the sake of national interests, even if he was suppressed, he gritted his teeth and endured it for the sake of the country.

Not only this, but also the bad things that Zhang Shixun, his sons, clansmen, and relatives have done in it. The text also repeatedly hinted that the reason why these people were so bold was entirely because Zhang Shixun was taking care of them in the back.

No matter how good Zhang Shixun's reputation is, he can't help but make such remarks as Qingzhou Dibao. (To be continued......)
