471. The poisonous plan of vultures
After sending Cai Jing away, all the matters in Beijing became very smooth as Zhao Ji wished. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because most of the officials didn't know why Cai Jing left, they only said that they were driven away by Zhao Ji because they opposed Zhao Ji's policies, so no one dared to object.
Although the officials complained, as Zhao Ji expected, only one-tenth of their wages were cut, which had little impact on their living standards, not to mention that there was also a mortgage with interest, and the officials only shouted bitterness verbally, and never really objected at all.
Therefore, when Cai Jing returned to Beijing in November, he learned that he would have to take one-tenth less from the next month.
Not only that, Zhao Ji ordered Tang Ke to "very well" learn the various methods in the "Theory of Wealth", and also proposed a gadget called "Zhongjun Patriotic Coupon", which is another kind of bond, but it is only bought and sold on a voluntary basis, and the interest is provided annually.
Not to mention, this bond is also interested, and some unknown chambers of commerce have bought some of it, and they have also brought hundreds of thousands of yuan of income to the treasury.
This made Zhao Ji feel very energetic and happy, so after learning that Cai Jing was back, he immediately summoned Cai Jing to see him.
No one was present at the time, and even the living man who recorded the living notes did not know. But after Cai Jing went out, the news soon came out: "The Duke of Jiguo asks to marry the princess!" ”
"Sure enough, this Jiguo Gong is really a princess lover."
This incident caused a lot of laughter, and this time Zhou Quan deserved it.
The news also reached the palace, and Ande was full of longing when he heard the news, because Zhao Gou had already recommended her to her father to marry her. Maude, on the other hand, only stayed for half an afternoon, and then went on with his life.
Regarding the question of which princess is married, someone in the Bianjing market opened a bet, and I don't know who leaked the news, Emperor Ande ranked first, and Mao De ranked second.
And this incident even led to the market prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty and a number of marriages, and everywhere was asking when Zhou Quan would marry the emperor, and many people wanted to get married on the same day, so as to live the joy of the God of Wealth.
What made Zhao Ji very excited was that this incident also led to the sales of his bonds and loyal monarch patriotic coupons, and a month after the news broke, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the sales of bonds and loyal monarch patriotic coupons skyrocketed.
This skyrocketing sales volume alone has increased the income of more than one million yuan to his inner library, and it has also allowed the Tianshui Chamber of Commerce to tide over the difficulties temporarily, and it seems that it can be maintained again.
Tang Ke was inspired by this, and every once in a while, he arranged for people to release some news about the marriage, and to his surprise, every time the news was news, it would create a wave of good prospects in the market. He was overjoyed and reported the news to Zhao Ji, who was stunned at the time, and said half happily and half bitterly for a while: "In this way, I am stained with Zhou Quan's light." ”
"It is his honor for the official family to touch his light, and the marriage can be completed, Jiguo Gong is the son-in-law of the official family, the Great Song Dynasty, the family has no words, and no one can say who will touch the light." Tang Ke was very good at speaking, although he didn't think so, he still coaxed Zhao Ji quite happily.
Some people are happy, others are worried.
In the Zhongjing Dading Mansion now controlled by the Jin State, the Jin lord had a stern face and looked at the circle of Han officials in front of him.
"You bought the businessman, and the news from the Great Song Dynasty is these?" He scolded in Jurchen dialect, and then there was a translator to translate it into Khitan, these Han officials were all born in Liao, proficient in Khitan, and they trembled and uneasy when they heard the words.
"I don't have the slightest interest in who the Zhao family's emperor's daughter marries, what I want to know is the reality of the Zhao family, I want to ...... I will avenge my son! ”
Originally, Aguta was quite satisfied with his achievements, and after more than ten years of raising troops, the Liao State was almost completely wiped out, if it were not for the plague, I am afraid that the entire territory of the Liao State would have been seized this year. Therefore, he did not regard the Great Song Dynasty as his goal - but Zhou Quan seriously injured his eldest son Zhu Ben in the Battle of the Liaohe River, causing his death, this incident made Ah Guda hold a grudge, even after many years, it is difficult to forget.
Even because the sons grew up and fought with each other, he had a thought: if he didn't die at the beginning, his ability and deeds would be enough to suppress the sons.
"But...... The fourth prince said that all news related to Zhou Quan is the first priority, and he will definitely report it to His Majesty. After a while, a Han official finally spoke up.
"Humph!"
The one responsible for dealing with Zhou Quan is the fourth prince Wushu.
Yue Fei swept through Kitakyushu and almost wiped out the Jurchens, but Wushu was able to escape, and he returned to the Kingdom of Jin. Although he lost most of his subordinates and territory, he has accumulated a lot of wealth in the past few years, and he has also secretly transferred some of his power to the land, so he is still the best among the sons of Aguta.
Hearing the meaning of the Wushu, Ah Gu was angry for a while, and after a while, he drove all the Han officials out, leaving behind the heads and brains of the Jurchen Wanyan Department.
No matter how hard these Han officials worked for the aliens, the aliens still didn't really see them as their own.
"The emperor of the Song Dynasty, is he reconciled with that Zhou Quan again?" He asked.
The name of Zhou Quan, among the Jurchens, also has a very high deterrent power, and everyone was dull for a while, and no one spoke for a long time.
"Why don't you speak, could it be that you are also like those little children, frightened by this Song man?" Ah Guda stood up and said irritably: "What's so terrible, isn't it artillery, now we also have artillery, we can capture the big city of Liao, and artillery is indispensable!" Since they all have artillery, the Song soldiers are cowardly, and even the Liao people can't beat them, why should we be afraid of them? ”
During this period of time, Ah Guda was short-tempered, and everyone below was to blame at every turn, and everyone didn't dare to speak easily. At this time, he was compelled by him, his fourth brother Wu Qimai and his fifth brother also exchanged a look, Wu Qimai said: "It's not that we are afraid of him, but I don't know why my brother remembers this Han man." And among my Jin people, the one who knows this person best is the vulture, and my brother called the vultures to ask! ”
After hearing the news from the south, Wushu smiled and said: "Father, don't worry, the emperor of the Song Kingdom and Zhou Quan are still suspicious of each other, otherwise, why can't the marriage date be determined?" ”
"Well, what does it matter?"
"The wedding date is confirmed, Zhou Quan is about to enter the capital of the Song State to greet him, he is afraid that the Emperor of the Song State will take the opportunity to do it, so he is deliberately delaying the wedding date."
When Wushu said this, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Moreover, now that Song is worried about domestic and foreign troubles, even if the two of them become a family, we still have an absolute chance!" ”
"Are you saying that those Song people you recruited, those guys, are all cunning people, but they are as timid as rats, and they have hidden their heads and tails so far, what can they do?"
"They are very powerful, at least in terms of money, they are very strong, and if it weren't for them, it would be difficult for me to return from Japan." Wushu smiled again: "I never expect them to be able to accomplish anything, as long as they can make trouble for Song Guo." Father, we Jurchens are few, they are many Han people, if we can't let the Han people fight among themselves, how can we Jurchens fight over them? ”
The Jurchen chieftains present looked more or less disapproving, and there are many Han people serving under them now, but whether it is bravery or wisdom, these chiefs are quite despised.
Perhaps only those who know the Wushu of the Han people best understand what power is hidden in these seemingly cowardly and stupid Han people. Therefore, he continued: "There are 10,000 Han people, and our departments combined, there are not even 1 million people, even if you add up to those who have taken refuge, do you have 3 million people? ”
"With the Liao people, there are more than three million." Wu Qimai was a little dissatisfied with the arrogance of Wushu, and said coldly.
"Okay, even if you add the Liao, or even those scattered tribes in Mobei, let's get up to four million, but the Han people have 10,000, and the twenty-five fight us one, and they occupy the broadest and richest land, and the wealth they have is enough to fill the white mountains and black waters-a battle, they are not our opponents, or even the opponents of the Liao, but you can't defeat him......"
Wushu said a lot, and seeing that everyone was getting more and more impatient, he knew that he might have gone too far.
But he must do this, if he can't attract the attention of his elders, maybe in the hands of Zhou Quan, they will suffer a big loss. As he said, the Han people can't be defeated no matter how they fight, but they Jurchens, as long as they suffer a heavy blow, they will fall completely.
"I say this not because I am afraid of the Han people, but because I want to learn to deal with them with wisdom. Divide them, divide them, and let them fight among themselves...... As long as the Han people are scattered, let them fall apart because of different ideas, quarrel with each other because of different preferences, and cannot cooperate because of various grievances. In this way, we can manipulate them, enslave them, and eventually ...... at a smaller cost Kill them all! ”
When Wushu said this, he no longer concealed his hatred, and this monstrous killing intent was something wrong with Wu Qimai and Xian.
Ah Guda took a deep look at the Wushu, this son seemed to have something wrong since he saw the corpse of his brother-in-law.
He was so bold and ruthless that even a few uncles couldn't suppress him.
However, what he said is reasonable, with only hundreds of thousands of Jurchens, it is obviously impossible to rule 10,000,000 Han people without some means.
"So......" Aguda was about to ask again.
"Father, father, uncle, good news, good news!"
Ah Guta's words were broken by the shouting outside, only to see his second son enter without pushing the door, and several guards wanted to stop but did not dare to stop.
"What's the matter?" Ah Guda frowned.
"Yelu Chun of Liao is dead, Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi are fighting over who will supervise the country, and the Liao people will be panicked and have surrendered to us, the Great Wall is dangerous, and I have it now, the opportunity to destroy Liao, when will I wait!" He glanced at his vultures in anger and grinned. (To be continued.) )
