Chapter 189 A Piece of the Pie
Zhao Ji recognized the Jade Emperor as his ancestor and established the country with Taoism, and also claimed that the Jade Emperor entrusted him with a dream and that he would revitalize Taoism, so now Taoist priests can get a salary. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In addition to the court and the attendant, Liang Shicheng meditates in his Taoist temple every afternoon, in the final analysis, in order to follow Zhao Ji's wishes. Otherwise, how could the miscellaneous servants of the original calligraphy bureau ******** tinker with Taoism? As a traitor, it is an inevitable skill to cater to the good yes.
Although all visitors are refused to see them during the retreat, there is one exception, that is, Wang Huang, who was the young ruler at the time.
Wang Hao and Liang Shicheng are next-door neighbors, and there is a small door hidden by a rockery on the courtyard wall between the two families.
After entering the Taoist temple, Wang Hao bowed his head and came to Liang Shicheng, his expression of joy could not be resisted. Wang Hao was recommended by Liang Shicheng to be the emperor, because of his handsome demeanor, he was appreciated by the officials, and he was promoted to eight levels in a year, known as the first person in the Song Dynasty.
After receiving this kindness, Wang Hao was respectful from beginning to end, serving Liang Shicheng with the courtesy of his sons and nephews, and he would be called "Mr. Enfu" every time he saw him. Once Wang Hao ascended to the throne, he took advantage of Liang Shicheng's power to sell his official position on a large scale, causing public resentment to boil and the government and the opposition to discuss it.
For Liang Shicheng, Wang Hao's self-defeating approach was foolish, but he did not persuade him to say a word. Wang Hao's removal from power is only good for Liang Shicheng, after all, he can relieve the anger of the people by severely punishing the big corrupt officials, and show the determination of the court to be honest and honest.
In addition, I don't know how many new Wang Hao and Li Hao are waiting for Mr. Enfu to be promoted. sacrificed a Wang Huang, but it can make the government and the opposition think of Liang Shicheng's goodness.
"Jiang Ming, disturbing people's cultivation, the sin is not shallow" Liang Shicheng pretended to straighten the colorful lotus crown, "What is the matter with this time?" Don't bother our family with your vulgar things again! ”
As soon as Wang Hao saw Liang Shicheng speak, he was naturally in a big mood, "If it is a trivial matter, how dare you work as a big man, yesterday I heard that Han Wang, the winning army, promised the official family Yizhou six million a year, and came to discuss"
"Do you really take six million guan seriously? Although Yizhou is an important trade place on the Song-Liao border, the current annual income is not more than one million. Even if he has great ability, within a year, he can have two million guan to be considered the sky, and it is said that six million guan is nine out of nine is to make the official family happy" Liang Shicheng does not believe in six million guan at all, and this kind of deceptive behavior to please the boss is seen a lot.
"What my lord said is that after one out of ten, two million is a lot, and the official expenses are increasing day by day, which is really unsustainable" Wang Hao continued, "This son started from scratch, ran three steel mills, two wineries, a Mongolian school, a garden, more than a dozen workshops, and estimated that he has assets of 5 million."
"So what? Is it possible to collect it all? You must know that those industries involve local officials, wealthy businessmen, gentry, and Liu Shuai, and they are not so easy to swallow."
"Yizhou inserts a few people in the past, if it can't complete six million guan, if necessary, take Han Wang and force him to spit out the shares, two million guan can still be had" This two million came out, and Liang Shicheng also had to look sideways at Wang Huang.
Indeed, it is also a bit clumsy to welcome the official family, and the price of materials on the market is more expensive than one day, and there must be external financial resources. 200,000 guan, Liang Shicheng can't look at it yet, but with 2 million guan, he can't help but be unmoved.
It's not a problem to install a few people, originally the secret spy department was in Han Wang's army, Zhending, Baozhou, Yizhou, and Xiongzhou all have daily newspapers, and every move that happened in Yizhou was like a palm view.
Liang Shicheng immediately said, "It's okay, in order to ensure that the favor of the official family will not be wasted at will, it is also the duty of the courtiers to appoint two capable subordinates to take care of it." Remember that this son is too sensitive, and should not act rashly unless it is absolutely necessary. ”
Hehe, now Yizhou and Baozhou are all in his hands, and after a while, he will find a reason to arrest Han Wang. What rich businessmen and gentry, what officials of all sizes, are left who still don't obediently send the money? It's done!
Looking at Wang Huang's greedy appearance, the corners of Liang Shicheng's mouth showed a subtle smile.
Cai Mansion, Cai Jing's mansion.
In the past, there was a lot of traffic, but now there are many people,
In Zhao Liangsi's view, the world is more cold than this, and today's visit to the mansion is mainly about Yanyun's return to the new measures, and he wants to get the approval of his husband. Qin Hui is an ally of Zhao Liangsi, and after Baigou, Zhao Liangsi and Tong Guan have already had a rift.
Before this Qin Hui could move his body, he received the news that the demons and monsters were about to move, and he had to find a heavyweight ally to suppress the other party. Cai Jing, who is idle at home, is the most suitable, although he has gone to work, but Cai's children, protégés, and old people are all over the world, and his words still carry a lot of weight.
Coming today, Zhao Liangsi visited in a private capacity as a junior, called seeking advice, which is really a discussion. Cai Jing got the report, and he knew it in his heart, and asked Zhao Liangsi to meet him in the study.
Zhao Liangsi entered the study, Cai Jing was splashing ink, and after Cai Jing put down the pen, he stepped forward and bowed, "My husband is fine!" ”
"Don't be polite, old and decayed, you're already an idle man!" Cai Jing beckoned again, "How about Long Tu take a look at this character for the old man?" ”
When Zhao Liangsi got closer, he saw that Cai Jing was going to write "Breaking the Array", so he asked and praised, "Good words, good words!" Dare to ask who wrote this new word? ”
Cai Jing saw that Zhao Liangsi didn't know, smiled and didn't say anything, and asked rhetorically, "Long Tu, why did you come?" ”
Zhao Liangsi saw Cai Jing playing dumb riddles, and he no longer went around in circles, "It's a shame to say that Zhao proposed to join forces to attack Liao, but it has repeatedly failed. Seeing that the great cause of Fuyan Pingliao was stagnant, I was anxious, and I came to ask for advice."
"What Long Tu said is true, Emperor Liao is addicted to wine, the national government is tired, and the Khitan will die, which is the trend of the times." Cai Jing beckoned Zhao Liangsi to sit down, "The land of Yanyun is to be soothed or suppressed, and there was a public opinion in the court yesterday. Cai also went to work because of this, I'm afraid that what Long Tu asked is not human, right? ”
Zhao Liangsi owed his body and hugged his fists, "There is a public opinion on right and wrong above the court, and today's husband is free, and he will be able to recover one day." Wouldn't it be right to sit and watch the clouds rise and fall now? It's just that all the good heirs are tied to Yanyun, and they also ask their husbands to pity him, and he dare not forget his help. ”
Cai Jing pondered for a long time before he said slowly, "Seed Master Dao, Liu Yanqing's soldiers are pressing the realm, why do you love that Han Wang?" ”
"What I will say, this son is a great talent, far-sighted. After Baigou, only this son can teach people to rest assured. The official family has already promised him the dictatorship of Yizhou, and he will take Yanjing within three months," Zhao Liangsi explained to Cai Jing Han Wang's personality and strengths.
"Six million guan a year, three months to win Yanjing, Han Wang is so big" Cai Jing has many years of household experience, and his first reaction to Yizhou's annual income of six million guan a year is impossible.
