[206] Knock Zhou Yi
During this period of waiting, Zhou Yi was of course not idle, he wrote a long, long letter to Zhao Ji, which not only stated his various activities in Yanjing City, but also said that now the Song army has the ability to counterattack any Jin soldiers' attacks, as for the previous enemy Liao Zhou Yi did not even mention it, because the current Liao State itself is difficult to protect, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the country will be completely unable to bear the burden and be wiped out by the Jin soldiers. Not only that, after the report on the problem of foreign enemies was completed, Zhou Yi still mentioned his wish by the way, that is, to let Zhao Ji order to stop all kinds of behaviors that are unfavorable to the people, such as Huashigang.
Zhou Yi believes that as long as the problem of exploitation such as Huashigang is solved, the Great Song Dynasty will be able to carry out economic development wholeheartedly, and in less than ten years, the Great Song Dynasty will be able to become the only superpower in the world, there is no doubt about it.
But what he didn't expect was that after his excerpt was written, it caused an uproar, Zhao Ji was furious after reading this letter of 10,000 words, although the previous part said that is the same thing, and at the same time he was also happy about the peace of the border, but Zhou Yi's words in the back of the letter were very intense, first of all, he described the chaos outside, and those with ulterior motives rely on the power in their hands to make a fortune, which was originally what he saw, But Zhao Ji felt very uncomfortable in his heart after seeing it, these people are all official positions appointed by himself, Zhou Yi said that they did evil and careless of people's lives, doesn't that indirectly show that the emperor is not a lady?
The most important thing is that Zhou Yi also sincerely persuaded Zhao Ji to replace these officials at the end of the document. If you don't give them a warning. The entire Great Song Dynasty may be in turmoil. At the back. It is Zhou Yi who made a list of officials who need to be punished. These people were written by him after he had clear evidence after the investigation, and it can be said that he did not frame a person.
This document first fell into the hands of Tong Guan, he did not deny Zhou Yi's exploits at all, and even felt a little fortunate in his heart, with Zhou Yi here, there was no need to worry about the war at all, he had proved his strength with a hundred victories. What made him feel most relieved was that he knew what Zhou Yi said. And the list of those officials is similar to what I know. As far as this piece is concerned, Tong Guan is definitely on Zhou Yi's side.
But what he didn't expect was that he had just brought this document to Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji just glanced at it, and threw it directly on the ground, scolding, bastard.
Tong Guan was very puzzled in his heart, according to reason, everything written on this document is a good thing, although the rhetoric is a little more intense, can Zhao Ji use such a big reaction? It's not like those officials. What do you want him, the emperor, to be a little more restrained, pay attention to his behavior, and so on. And so it is. Zhao Ji doesn't seem to be as angry as he is today, which makes Tong Guan himself unable to understand what kind of untold story there is.
But he didn't dare to say anything, silently packed up his things and put them on the table, Zhao Ji was still angry, and said: "This Zhou Yi is becoming more and more arrogant now, thinking that he can do whatever he wants with a little credit?" Now it's threatening me, I really don't know whether I'm alive or dead. Speaking of this, as if to match what he said, he also sneered a few times.
To be honest, Tong Guan really didn't understand why Zhou Yi threatened Zhao Ji, but since Zhao Ji said this, he didn't want to ask, but he also knew that Zhou Yi couldn't send a letter to Zhao Ji privately and bypass him, there was no doubt about this, but he didn't receive Zhou Yi's message threatening Zhao Ji. Besides, since Zhou Yi stepped into officialdom, he hasn't caused any big trouble, although sometimes he acts more intensely, but this shouldn't be a major problem, shouldn't this be regarded as a young man's sharpness? He couldn't understand why Zhao Ji was like this, but he couldn't speak in this situation, so he stood aside and didn't speak.
"What is your impression of this Zhou Yi?" Zhao Ji suddenly looked at Tong Guan and said.
This is something that Tong Guan never expected, and he has not yet figured out what Zhao Ji's attitude towards Zhou Yi is, although it may not seem very good now.
The slave maid thinks...... This, after a few contacts, he gave me a good impression, not like a domineering person, otherwise no one would stand up against him, and now he gets along well with other officials. ”
There is no point in what he said, although the tone is inclined to Zhou Yi, but it does not explain his position, so as long as he sees the signs that are wrong, he can immediately change his words. When an official is a person of his role, the degree of tactfulness is already extraordinary. Seeing the wind, the ability to make the rudder has reached its peak.
Zhao Ji seemed to calm down a little, but he was still very angry, and he said, "You still can't help him speak?" You see what he means by that, and he makes a list of them, does he think I don't even know these things? Is this forcing me to remove these people? ”
Tong Guan was a little stunned after hearing this, this is the reason why Zhao Ji was angry? Wouldn't that be too much?
If it was just because of this, Tong Guan was naturally not afraid, he persuaded: "The slave maid thinks that what he said should not mean what His Majesty thinks, I still understand the behavior of this young man, although some things seem to be reckless, but the essence is still good." So I don't think this list should mean that, he just wants His Majesty to listen to the public opinion a little, which will also be beneficial to the whole country. ”
Zhao Ji couldn't help but widen his eyes, with a look of disbelief, and said a little angrily: "Are you also helping this stinky boy speak?" You say he's like this now, and he won't turn the sky over in the future? ”
Tong Guan thought about it, and immediately understood what Zhao Ji was worried about, he was worried that Zhou Yi's prestige outside was getting bigger and bigger, and if he didn't take action now, he might pose a threat to the imperial power in the near future. Tong Guan himself didn't think about this problem, so he gave a warning when Zhou Yi used a powerful weapon, but Zhou Yi didn't seem to appreciate it, because he found out that Zhou Yi used these things again in Yanjing, which also made him feel that it was time for Zhou Yi to need to knock and knock, but he didn't expect Zhao Ji to act so quickly.
"That's right, he has already achieved such an achievement at a young age, although I have to say that he has talent, but such a weight on him will inevitably make him a little proud, causing him to speak and act more and more unaware of his identity, and now that His Majesty has noticed this sign, I also feel that it is time to kill his pride. But it can't be too much, if it is too much, although it can kill a proud Zhou Yi, it will make more talented people chill, so this matter needs to be carefully considered. ”
Listening to Tong Guan's words, Zhao Ji nodded slightly, he also knew that what Tong Guan said was the truth, what Zhou Yi has done in the past few years is in everyone's eyes, if he doesn't make mistakes but punishes him, then who will be willing to contribute their talents to the construction of the country in the future?
"What you said is a problem, you can't directly beat him to death, he is also a talented person, but it is still necessary to make a mistake with his sharpness, but how to grasp this degree still needs to be considered, what do you have good ideas?" Zhao Ji asked Tong Guandao.
Tong Guan didn't expect Zhao Ji to kick the ball to himself, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed, Zhao Ji thought of something, but the so-called holy will is unpredictable, how can he know what Zhao Ji is thinking in his heart, so he can only stand next to him and not speak.
Zhao Ji saw that Tong Guan was silent, so he said: "Oh yes, does Zhou Yi like to do business very much this time?" Now I heard that Qingshen County is doing very well, and the tax collected from Qingshen County is more than the other counties in Meizhou combined, but I didn't expect him to be a talent in this area. He was transferred to Zhendingfu and did not stop, what industrial zone is doing very well, now all places are learning from him, last year Zhendingfu's tax revenue was twice as much as usual, and the commercial and industrial taxes have exceeded the agricultural tax, you say this is all done by him, right? But he thought about who would farm without everyone going to do business and doing things? Who will feed them if they don't farm? ”
Tong Guan said: "Presumably he has also considered this problem, right?" I heard that he is doing something right now, which is to plant a new kind of rice, and I heard that the latest rice harvest this year is one higher than the same period in previous years. Could it be that he is going to do something? ”
"A harvest of the same field?" Tong Guan's words made Zhao Ji a little moved, if the talent for doing business can be understood, it is estimated that Zhou Yi explained to Zhao Ji in person, and he couldn't explain it clearly.
Tong Guan continued: "Yes, he once told me that he wanted to let one acre of land grow ten acres of grain, so that the agricultural population only needs to do the previous one, and the extra population will all be engaged in business and work, and the Great Song Dynasty can stand on top of the world." ”
Zhao Ji's face changed, this is tantamount to a fool's dream in his concept, one acre of land grows ten acres of food, and Zhou Yi is not afraid to say big words and flash his tongue.
"That's what he said?" Zhao Ji asked.
Tong Guan said affirmatively: "Of course, I also asked on purpose, Your Majesty, what about how we beat him...... It's not easy to do......"
Zhao Ji seemed to have suddenly thought clearly, and he said: "He is really a talent, haha, but he has done so many things, being the prefect will definitely distract him, so let him withdraw." Let him be the director of the City Yi Division, give him the title of baron, and collect his military power, let him make money for me, without military power, even if he is no matter how I can control him firmly in my hands. ”
When Tong Guan heard this, he was immediately impressed. (To be continued......)
