Chapter Twenty-Five: Midnight Terror
After having dinner with the fire cavalry soldiers, the fire cavalry began a day's summary study under the leadership of the instructor, while Zhao Ji returned to the Chongzheng Palace, sat at the imperial table, looked at the map of Liuqiu, and stared at it for a long time.
Zhao Ji is trying to recall the future Taiwan Province and see what ports there are. Li Xiangan was grinding for Zhao Ji on the side, and Zhao Ji picked up his pen and marked fifteen place names on the map in one breath: Jilong, Kaohsiung, Taichung, Hualien, Suao, Taitung, Green Island, Lanyu, Donggang, Anping, Magong, Taoyuan, Tamsui, Hsinchu, and Taipei.
After the place name was marked, three long lines were drawn. One is the gallop road to be built on the stream, which connects the various places of the stream, and cannot only rely on the sea route. The other two are the sea routes from the chicken coop to Quanzhou and Shangjing.
The average population of a county in the Northern Song Dynasty was about 200,000, with 500,000 in large counties and less than 50,000 in small counties. Nearly 2 million people have been recruited to develop Liuqiu, and at least 20 counties must be set up in Liuqiu to establish a state county, with an average of 100,000 people in each county. If Taipei is built into a state city, it will be called Taizhou. Chicken coops, Anping are both big ports, and at least 200,000 people can be arranged. There are gold sand mines, and there are many other minerals, which can be sold, and the funds are used for development.
Zhao Ji pondered as he marked on the map. As soon as you have any ideas, you will write them down on a piece of paper as a reference for the development of the Shangjing Political Affairs Hall.
"Holy Lord, it's time to rest." Li Xiangan reminded.
"It's okay, I can't finish the night." Zhao Ji twisted his ass and stretched his waist.
Just when Zhao Ji was about to go to sleep, suddenly, a shout faintly came from outside the "Assassin" Palace, which was exceptionally clear in the silent night, Zhao Ji was startled, "bang", the door of the Chongzheng Hall somehow opened, and a man stood at the door.
To be exact, it should be a beautiful man. Dressed in white, spotlessly clean, pure white. The eyes of the lying silkworm were closed under his eyebrows, and he held the long sword in his chest. The night breeze is blowing, and the white clothes are raised with the wind, like characters in later animations. He doesn't look like an assassin by any means.
Hearing that there were assassins, the iron guards on night duty poured out, surrounded the men in white layer by layer, and aimed at the white-clothed assassins with bows and arrows. As soon as the white-clad assassin moves, he will be shot into a hornet's nest.
"Who are you? Pretending to be a ghost? Li Xiangan took a step forward and asked in the throat of the male duck.
"Grab it, catch it alive." Seeing that the white-clothed assassin did not reply, Li Xiang'an was furious, and immediately ordered the Iron Arm Guard to move forward and arrest people.
A Captain of the Iron Arm Guard surrounded him with more than twenty men, preparing to capture the white-clad assassin alive. At this moment, the white-clothed assassin's eyes opened, and a cold light burst out.
"What a speed!" Zhao Ji secretly exclaimed.
The white-clothed assassin did not draw his sword, and in the blink of an eye, more than twenty iron arm guards fell to the ground.
"Shoot him, shoot him." Li Xiang'an gasped and shouted eagerly.
With Li Xiang'an's order, hundreds of arrows flew towards the white-clothed assassin. If there is no miracle, the white assassin will surely be shot into a stack of arrows.
However, a miracle really happened, and the sound of "kick, kick, kick..." The white clothes floated up, and the white-clothed assassin quickly waved the long sword in his hand, the long sword was still unsheathed, and the arrow feathers either fell to the ground or were held in the arms of the white-clothed assassin.
The white-clothed assassin turned around in a few gorgeous turns, and the arrows in his arms flew towards the Iron Arm Guard. "Ahh Yes! Screams rang out continuously, and dozens of iron armguards fell to the ground.
"Oh my God! Is this the Song Dynasty? Or Jin Yong's martial arts world? Zhao Ji was dumbfounded.
Just when Zhao Ji was in a daze, an arrow feather flew towards Zhao Ji with a sound of breaking through the air. Seeing that Zhao Xiang was about to die under the arrow, Li Xiang'an seemed to burst out of his full potential, and his body was vertical, just blocking the flying arrow feathers, and the arrow feathers were so powerful that they actually nailed Li Xiang'an to the pillars of the main hall.
Zhao Ji's blood was stimulated, he turned around and picked up the Qinglong Sword from the weapon rack, and shouted: "Don't use a bow and arrow, just rush and kill with me." After speaking, Zhao Ji pulled out the Qinglong knife and rushed towards the assassin, and another arrow feather flew towards Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji raised his horizontal knife, and the arrow feather was cut into two pieces and fell to the ground.
How could the Iron Arm Guards let Zhao Ji go to the danger of killing the assassin, all of a sudden, more than a dozen Iron Arm Guards held huge shields, protected Zhao Ji to death, and retreated.
When the other iron guards heard Zhao Ji's order, they changed their weapons one after another, and one by one the spears formed a gun formation, and they stepped forward intensively to surround the white-clothed assassins. After the team, a large net flew into the encirclement and caught the Assassins. Several chains then flew forward, intending to lock the white-clad Assassin.
At this moment, the white-clothed assassin's long sword was finally unsheathed, and the chain net was shattered. The spear stabbed out, the white-clothed assassin jumped high, the long sword flashed with sword light, and the broken iron chain was shattered by the long sword, and the rain hit the Iron Arm Guard soldiers like scattered flowers, and the screams rang out again and again, and the more than 100 Iron Arm Guards who surrounded the white-clothed assassins were all overturned.
Seeing that the Iron Arm Guard couldn't bear it, an Iron Arm Guard was blowing the horn, which was calling for fire cavalry support. The white-clothed assassin, with an expressionless face, his sword unsheathed, slowly walked to the Iron Arm Guard, who was blowing the horn, and before he saw the move, the Iron Arm Guard fell to the ground.
Protected by the giant shield, Zhao Ji was so stuffy that he almost went crazy, and he couldn't wait to fight the assassin master in person. Hearing the sound of the fight, he thought that the white-clothed assassin had been captured, and tried to push away the guards, but he didn't expect that with a slight push, the dozen or so soldiers holding giant shields who were protecting Zhao Ji all fell to the ground.
The white-clothed assassin sat at the imperial table, sipping the brewed tea, while looking at the map on the imperial table, as if Zhao Xuan did not exist, as if this was his own home, when the assassin reached this point, it was really the pinnacle.
Zhao Ji looked at such a leisurely white-clothed assassin, and the anger that was ignored rushed to the sky, and he raised the Qinglong knife, and was about to rush over to kill the white-clothed assassin. Unexpectedly, before he could take a step, he somehow fell to the ground, his nose was in direct contact with the floor, and the nosebleed slowly flowed out.
Zhao Ji finally understood that he and the white-clothed assassin were not of the same grade at all, and his mind to make a move was wasted. Zhao Ji didn't get up, but lay on the ground, letting his nose bleed, but he was thinking in his heart: "What does this white-clothed assassin want to do?" Want to assassinate yourself? Killed a long time ago? Could it be that before killing yourself, you want to play a game of cat and mouse? Thinking of this, Zhao Ji's mind was blank, and he was at a loss, the king of a country would fall into such a situation, it was really a big joke.
"Give me a reason not to kill you?" The white-clothed assassin spoke, his voice was very special, and his tone was very cold and infectious.
"I gave orders to the sky, how can you kill a child?" Zhao Ji didn't want to be underestimated by the assassin, so he still stood up, wiped his nosebleed, and said disdainfully.
Zhao Ji didn't want to be a mouse, and he still looked like a great emperor. Moreover, if a man dies like a lamp goes out, what is there to fear from a man who has died once?
"The weak should learn to surrender, and seeking death is not the best choice." The white-clothed assassin picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, without looking up at Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji didn't know what to say, now it's "people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat", and it makes no sense to say anything.
Bai Yi picked up the brush and was writing something, and said: "Abolish the labor order, deprive the small officials of their livelihood to please the people." Abolish the money order, squeeze the people to enrich the treasury. Abolish redundant orders, drive officials to work, and burn books in an alternative way. The business order was promoted, the roots were abandoned, and the people were turned into commercial slaves. Fang Tian ordered to encourage annexation, occupy the private property of the people, and strengthen the imperial power of the wealthy clan. Gather wealth to strengthen the army, plot military affairs, want to raise military disasters, and poison the world. For the emperor's one-man civil and martial arts, abandon the free livelihood of thousands of people. Interlocking, the official family is so ambitious? ”
"How can you comment on the new law indiscriminately? The major affairs of the military state are related to the society of the country, how can you, an assassin, speculate? The new law was said so badly by the white-clothed assassin, Zhao Ji was furious in his heart.
For some reason, as soon as Zhao Ji finished speaking, he fell to the ground again for no reason, his nose hit the floor again, and his nosebleed soaked through his collar. Zhao Ji, who was dull and angry in his heart, heard the cold and infectious voice of the white-clothed assassin in his ears again: "I call you an official, I want to hear your explanation, not to let you put an official in front of me." You are now just a reserve soul under my sword, even if you are an emperor, you only have a head, and the official family must cherish it. ”
"The small officials are only the long-term service in front of the government, and there is no money, how can the abolition of conscription be deprived of livelihood? You can't figure this out, but the rest has been explained to you, can you understand it? Zhao Ji stood up and said mockingly.
I didn't even understand the difference between service and livelihood, what else is there to say? However, Zhao Ji kept wondering which interest class did this white-clothed assassin represent?
The Abolition Law abolishes not only errand service, but also long service. The officials of the Song Dynasty were not the official establishment of the state, but a kind of long service levied by the imperial court, and the former service of the Yaqian was only a kind of long service, which was also called professional service. For example, those janitors, cell bosses, clerks, and catchers in the county are professional service, without salary, and are generally long-term hereditary service by the children of local wealthy families or first-class households.
Errand labor is a type of labor that does some work such as transportation, building walls, houses, digging canals, and repairing rivers. The law of errand service harms the people, that is, the servants of the servants of the servants of the small people of the labor, and squeeze the money. It can be said that the service is fiercer than the harsh government, and the harsh government is fiercer than the tiger.
In addition to the abolition of servitude, the law no longer levies forced labor, nor does it cease to levy compulsory service. The official service is filled by officials and soldiers, and the officials are not crossed, and they are also included in the establishment of the Ministry of Officials, and they are issued to the officials. Labor is recruited at the expense of the imperial court. In doing so, Zhao Ji wanted to break the long-term grip of the local wealthy landlords centered on the local government.
The white-clothed assassin was stunned, thinking that Zhao Ji was going to explain at length, by begging him or persuading him to save his life. I didn't expect to say that he was ignorant as soon as he opened his mouth, which stabbed him deeply. The white-clothed assassin suddenly stood up, exuding a powerful momentum, and Zhao Ji felt an unprecedented sense of depression.
The education of the white assassin from an early age was that of the strong and the weak. There is no right or wrong in this world, only strength and weakness! The master often told him stories about people and ants. A person who kills an ant for no reason, or even a group of ants, is not morally condemned. Because ants are weak, they don't have any ability to retaliate and resist, and the only thing they can do is to let the strong decide their fate. The white-clad assassins loved nothing more than those lowly beings trembling before him.
"Look for death." The white-clothed assassin's long sword was unsheathed, and a white light flashed in front of Zhao Ji's eyes, and Zhao Ji fell in a pool of blood.
The fire cavalry arrived belatedly, and when they stormed the Chongzheng Palace, they did not find a single shadow of an assassin, only the fallen officials and Iron Arm Guards.
