Chapter Twenty-Five: Profiteering

In the Imperial Palace of Bianjing, the official Zhao Zhen sat on the dragon chair sluggishly, the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty is a stallion, they must continue the bloodline for the royal family, although vaguely guessed that there is no ability to have children, but Zhao Zhen is immersed in the gentle township, can not extricate himself, after all, the prince Xin was pulled back from the death line by Zhao Lei, even if he works hard in the future, he can't get a son, there is also the prince Xin there to block, Zhao Zhen, who has completed the task of continuing the descendants, is in a particularly happy mood, played all night with a pitiful concubine in the harem, and as for the court, he was forgotten by the official Zhao Zhen.

The two prime ministers who are not on the right path mean containment and balance, even if Zhao Zhen does not go to court for a few months, it is estimated that there will be nothing to do, and he actually came up with a political enemy of Lu Yijian as the prime minister, Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen, I really admire you! The official sat on the dragon chair weakly, thinking proudly in his heart.

"There is a morning music, and there is no retreat!" Yan Wenying's elongated sharp tone echoed in the Imperial Palace.

I heard that the two prime ministers are now secretly competing with each other, and one is faster and more accurate in handling government affairs, and there is no one who delays, so no one should come out to play the book! It's good to go back and get some sleep. Zhao Zhen leaned back on the dragon chair and thought to himself.

"Enlighten the official family! Weichen has this play, Taizhou assassin Shi Yan Wenhao, colluded with Taizhou landlords Haoqiang, rampant and domineering, forcibly occupied people's land, resulting in the displacement of thousands of people in Taizhou, and several people froze to death in the cold winter, Taizhou Xiucai Lanlin traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to complain, and asked the official family to make decisions for the people! As soon as Yan Wenying's voice fell, one of the hundred officials, a five-rank imperial envoy who was about thirty years old, with a dark face and a sturdy body, immediately stepped out and said loudly.

It's this bag of sunspots again, isn't it annoying! From the prince to the generals, and now they are looking for trouble with the state capital, they feel that there are no good people in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty as soon as they open their mouths. As soon as Zhao Zhen saw the people in the ranks, he immediately thought of depression in his heart.

The person who came out of the list was Bao Zheng Bao Xiren, the five-rank imperial envoy who had just come to Bianjing and entered the imperial envoy platform.

After Zhao Zhen heard Bao Zheng's words, he waited for someone to excuse Taizhou's assassination, and then the imperial envoy's long rebuttal and participation, and finally made a final decision.

But it's strange today, Zhao Zhen waited for a while, and none of the civil and military officials of the imperial court came out to excuse Taizhou Assassin Shi, and they all looked at Bao Zheng and Zhao Luan beside him expressionlessly.

The right secretary Fan Zhongyan looked coldly at the civil and military affairs of the imperial court, and sneered in his heart, he knew that things were coming, and he understood very well why no one excused Yan Wenhao, the assassin of Taizhou, today, because Yan Wenhao was a fool, what did he play, he was born under Wang Dan, and he actually had intimate contacts with Li Di secretly, and was used by Li Di to let Lu Yijian take action against Yan Wenhao, and forced Wang Su to go into the water and stand with Li Di to deal with Lu Yijian.

But! Is Wang Su such an easy person to deal with! Now Li Di is moving a stone to shoot himself in the foot, if Li Di doesn't come forward today, I'm afraid no one will dare to take refuge in him easily in the future, if he comes forward, it will be equivalent to clearly telling Wang Su that he is the one who let Lu Yijian deal with Wang Su, Li Di is in a dilemma!

And Wang Su, standing on top of the court with an indifferent face, Taizhou Assassin Yan Wenhao has no deep relationship with the Wang family, and now he has switched to Li Di, which is equivalent to cutting off contact with the Wang family, and the Wang family is not involved in the accident, so he doesn't care if he lives or dies!

Lu Yijian and Li Di are in the front of the civil and military officials, and Lu Yijian on the left is also standing there expressionlessly, but he rolls with a smile in his heart, he didn't expect Li Di to throw out a Taizhou thorn history, ready to let him deal with Wang Su, but he didn't steal the chicken, and Yan Wenhao not only did not hang out Wang Su, but let Wang Su show the relationship between Yan Wenhao and Li Di, and now he began to guard against Li Di.

Ouyang Xiu stood in the crowd of hundreds of officials, sneered at Li Di in front of him, and said in his heart Li Di is really an idiot, Wang Dan has been in control of the secret guard for decades, wouldn't he have installed some of his own people in the secret guard, with the energy of the secret guard, does Li Di feel that the matter with Yan Wenhao can be hidden from Wang Su, and now Wang Su and Li Di are not ready to help Yan Wenhao exonerate, that poor Taizhou assassin has become an abandoned chess piece, this is the end of the grass on the wall.

The official Zhao Zhen waited for a while, and now no one helped Taizhou Thorn Shi speak, and immediately understood that the unlucky Taizhou Thorn Shi was abandoned by the master who took refuge, and after a moment of silence, Zhao Zhen said softly: "Since the evidence is conclusive, with the official document of the Ministry of Officials, the Taizhou Thorn Shi family will be matched with Lingnan, and they will never turn back!" ā€

Lu Yijian, the prime minister who was also a subordinate and a servant of the ministry, heard the official's reply, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a faint smile, and he immediately came out of the ranks, Li Di and his three confrontations, he temporarily had the upper hand with a score of 2 to 1.

Another prime minister of the imperial court, Li Di's face was a little pale, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak, looking at the sluggish expression of the official, he could only lower his head.

………………………………

The central power of the Northern Song Dynasty was three-legged, with the Zhongshu Sect in charge of civil affairs, the Privy Council in charge of military affairs, and the three departments in charge of finance.

The three divisions are also known as the "counting provinces", which are set up in the Tang Dynasty after five generations, and the early Song Dynasty is used, the functions and powers of the three divisions are in charge of the tribute and the country's finances throughout the country, and the highest governor is the three divisions.

The three divisions consist of salt and iron, degree branches and household departments, and each department has a deputy envoy of the three divisions.

The epidemic prevention temple, which is responsible for the sale of pox vaccines, is also hung in the three divisions, and it is hung in the salt and iron department, which is under the jurisdiction of the deputy envoy of salt and iron.

The deputy envoy of the Salt and Iron Division is named Ye Qingchen, who is four years old Chinese New Year's Eve today, thin and energetic, and his eyes reveal a shrewd and capable look.

Ye Qingchen's reputation among the hundred officials in the court is not very good, it stands to reason that with his current age and the years of being an official, it is impossible to achieve such a high position as the deputy envoy of the three divisions, but this kid is good at drilling camps, I heard that he served as a living house of the official family, when Zhao Zhen was the personal secretary, he once did not record a few troubles of the official family to the living note with a clear conscience, so he got the favor of the official family, and he made steady progress, and in just a few years, he has achieved the deputy envoy of the three divisions of salt and iron, which is a member of the Sanpin imperial court, and the deputy envoy of salt and iron is in charge of mining and metallurgy, tea, and salt in the Northern Song Dynasty, commercial taxes, canals, weapons and other things were controlled by Ye Qingchen, which caused the eyes of hundreds of officials in the imperial court, so they belonged to the hardcore official faction in the imperial court, and belonged to the officials who were nothing if they left the official family.

Zhao Lei looked at Ye Qingchen who was smiling in front of him, and was really jealous of the luck of the person in front of him, he cured the prince Xin and the acne seedling, two great merits, but in exchange for the Taiyi Bureau's promotion of the fourth grade and a bunch of false titles, and Ye Qingchen just raised his noble hand and wrote a few words less, in exchange for the real shortage of salt and iron deputy envoys, it is really more people than people!

But Zhao Lei also knows that the official position of deputy envoy of salt and iron is not something that can be held by a person like Ye Qingchen who has no background, this position is like a crater, sitting on it, once he makes a mistake, he will be burned to death, so Ye Qingchen is estimated to be more conscientious and conscientious than Lu Yijian, because once he makes a mistake, he will not have a chance to turn over.

"I don't know what is the important matter for Lord Ye to invite the lower officials?" Zhao Lei asked Ye Qingchen.

"Why does Lord Zhao bother to see the outside like this, can't you invite Lord Zhao to sit here! After all, you and I are officials in the same dynasty, and now we are working in the same three divisions, so we can be regarded as having a water robe. Ye Qingchen looked at Zhao Lei with a smile and said.

Cut! The epidemic prevention temple is just a temporary yamen, although it is hung under the three divisions, but the officials inside are all drawn from the six departments of the three provinces, and when the pox vaccine is completed, maybe it will be cut, what is brought with water robes, it is all nonsense! Zhao Lei thought with contempt in his heart.

"Xiaguan is just lucky to study the pox vaccine, and he has the trust of the official family to manage the epidemic prevention temple, but the Xiaguan knows his duty, and the Taiyi Bureau is the position of the Xiaguan." Zhao Lei said without being arrogant or humble, and without a trace, he shirked Ye Qingchen's words, and was not ready to have anything to do with this deputy envoy of the Third Division, who was more excluded by hundreds of officials than Lu Yijian.

"Eat the king, for the sake of the king's worries, since this official is the deputy envoy of salt and iron, he will manage salt and iron in this area day by day, and live up to the high expectations of the official, and other things, this official is not interested in participating in the cooperation, and is not ready to participate!" Ye Qingchen smiled slightly and said indifferently to Zhao Lei.

Smart people, definitely the smartest guy in Bianjing officialdom, Mingzhe protects himself, listens to the words of the official, goes with the official, does not participate in the party struggle of the imperial court, nor does he participate in the power struggle in the official, only for the official family to manage the salt and iron, Zhao Lei has been in Bianjing for so long, the first time he has met such an unambitious and ** official, think about Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu, they are also smart enough, but one is compassionate and compassionate, determined to change the status quo of the Great Song Dynasty and eliminate all corrupt officials, and the other wants to use literary talent to lay a big mark in the officialdom, In order to be famous for a hundred generations, Wang Su, a century-old family, has many things that cannot be let go, and can only participate in the power struggle of the imperial court.

And Ye Qingchen's words, he said without desire, he didn't want to be promoted, he didn't want to get involved in the torrent of officialdom, and he didn't want the world to be righteous, and the people were miserable, he just wanted to take care of the mess that Zhao Zhen handed over to him, this kind of person who has no ambition and **, and then meets Zhao Zhen This kind of eternal benevolence, is definitely an evergreen tree in officialdom, I'm afraid that as long as Zhao Zhen lives for a day, he will stay in Sansi for a day! Zhao Lei thought of admiration in his heart.

Zhao Lei guessed very right, the department of the third division that controls the country's finances, few people can work here for a long time, throughout the entire Renzong period, only Ye Qingchen, a low-key minister who was excluded by hundreds of officials, was promoted to the third secretary soon after, and he worked for fifteen years, until he died, the position of the third secretary envoy appeared again in the target of the court faction.

"I don't know what Lord Ye is looking for?" From Ye Qingchen's words, Zhao Lei came to the conclusion that he would not have any contact with a person like Ye Qingchen in his life, so he lost interest in exploring and asked directly to the point.

"This is the account of the sales of pox in the past ten days, look at it!" Ye Qingchen knew from Zhao Lei's words that this Bianjing celebrity would not be able to annoy him in the future, nodded approvingly, took out an account book and handed it to Zhao Lei.

Zhao Lei unceremoniously took the account book, opened it, and was surprised.

At the back of the account book, it was clearly written that in just ten days, nearly 200,000 yuan had been brought in, so Zhao Lei could get 20,000 yuan.

Think about the folding fan shop because of the squeeze of other folding fan shops that have sprung up like mushrooms after the rain in Bianjing, the monthly profit is only 3,000 yuan, and the pharmacy has lost many patients because he entered the Taiyi Bureau and has no time to treat the people, and now the monthly profit is less than 1,000 yuan.

In just ten days after the launch of this pox vaccine, it received 20,000 yuan, which is ten times more profitable than the first ten days of the opening of the folding fan, which is too profitable! Zhao Lei thought in disbelief.
