Liu looked at Song Jiu strangely, these people are from the capital, haven't they heard of it, she thought about it, and still whispered: "The relationship between Zhang Zhizhou and Zhao Xianggong is not trivial, although Zhao Xianggong is not in the phase, but he has served as the prime minister of the imperial court for more than ten years, can Xinzhizhou not buy Zhang Zhizhou's face?" ”

Wang Zhen smiled: "Little lady, Zhao Xianggong also has political enemies, in case there is a selfless new Zhizhou, or his political enemies come to ......"

"Don't talk nonsense, the people who dare to be enemies of Zhao Xianggong are all members of the imperial court, how can they serve as a small governor, and how dare they not give Zhao Xianggong face when they come to serve as a governor." Song Jiu shouted.

Don't let Wang Zhen continue.

But he finally understood more of the ins and outs, and he understood what he was worried about.

First of all, the relationship between Cao Han and Zhao Pu, Cao Han and Zhao Pu have always been wrong, this is not only Zhao Pu prompted Zhao Kuangyin to suppress the generals, but also personal grievances, what is the reason for personal grievances, Song Jiu is not very clear, but Zhao Pu suppressed Cao Han a long time ago. When he explained to Zhao Kuangyin the policy of first the south and then the north, he once said that except for His Majesty's personal expedition, except for Cao Han, who can be the enemy of the Khitan, but can Cao Han be the main general? However, if you first go south and then north, you can send a partial general, and you can clean up several countries.

It's better to go south and then north, or to go north and then south, Song Jiu is not easy to judge now, or use Zhu Yuanzhang to deal with the powerful Chen Youliang first, and then deal with Zhang Shicheng to compare, but the battle of Poyang Lake is too risky, so it is not easy to compare, if it is replaced by the current Song Jiu to choose, I am afraid that it is also the same south and then the north, at least the Central Plains can be unified.

The background of Zhao Pu's sentence refers to the battle of Chai Rong and the Khitan, and Zhao Kuangyin and Han Tong on the Eastern Front will perform very well. Including Cao Han, but there was a defeat on the Western Front. With the performance of the generals of the Khitan in Chai Rong. Among the living generals, except for Zhao Kuangyin. Only Cao Han.

However, is it true that Cao Han is the second in the Great Song Dynasty among the generals of the Song Dynasty?

There are two key points in this sentence, one is that it is too risky to go north and then south, and the country is not stable, so it is impossible for Zhao Kuangyin to abandon the country and lead the army to conquer the Khitan, and the second is that Cao Han has a cruel personality and will have an accident as the master. It's not a good thing to say about Cao Han.

and then in the Battle of Pingshu, Cao Han, as the No. 2 general under Cao Bin, was under the constraints of Cao Bin. There is no misconduct, and there are also merits, but under Zhao Pu's operation, Cao Han is not included in the list of rewards for generals. So when Song Jiu sent Pan Mei on the expedition, Cao Han patted Song Jiu's shoulder affectionately, and he was against Zhao Pu, and Cao Han liked it very much.

Zhang Ji is Zhao Pu's person, there is no need to doubt it. Song Jiu and Zhang Ji have no intersection, that is the person, except that it has been placed on the table, Song Jiu is not very clear. However, Zhang Ji and Gu Tongju are colleagues, and they must have revealed some tone when they worked together, and Liu bribed Gu Tongju. Gu Tong judged her to be pretty, and gave some heavy gifts. Rejoice, tell the truth. There is no such thing. Gu Tong didn't dare to say it. Besides, to deal with ordinary officials, although Zhao Pu goes down, Yu Wei is still there, which is enough.

Song Jiu didn't know, maybe Zhao Kuangyin knew that he was worried that Cao Han would do something bad after entering the city, so he sent Zhang Ji to serve as the governor of Jiangzhou, which was a balancing act, after entering the city, the Song army looted, because of the result of the political struggle, Zhang Ji sent people to capture the looted soldiers, did not give Cao Han face, and killed him on the spot. Cao Han was furious, so he played, I don't know what was said in the Lu Dao playbook, but because of this hostile relationship, Zhao Kuangyin believed it and transferred Zhang Ji to Raozhou.

Then Zhao Kuangyin reacted and immediately sent a lieutenant envoy to issue an edict prohibiting Cao Han from killing and poking, but the lieutenant envoy was late, Zhao Kuangyin was helpless, and when Cao Han returned to Beijing with the army, he transferred Zhang Ji back to Raozhou. If he agrees to come to Jiangzhou, Zhang Ji will return to Raozhou to take up his post, if he does not agree, there will be a general judge in Raozhou to preside over political affairs, and without delay, Zhang Ji will become Zhijiangzhou again.

Zhang Ji will not be satisfied with this transfer, Jiangzhou is a dead city, come back to find death.

However, when he returned to Jiangzhou, he found a surprising scene, countless Jiangbei people and merchants poured into Jiangzhou City, and even took the initiative to salvage the corpses in the well water for the imperial court, so as to occupy the houses and farmland, Jiangzhou has a new vitality, not only this benefit, Zhang Ji also found other benefits, such as a large number of Jiangbei people poured over, they will not hate the Song Dynasty, with them diluted, the rest of the Jiangzhou people's courage to resist the imperial court will be weakened. The government will be able to select reliable servants and officials, commerce will be restored, and arable land will not be barren, and most importantly, great political achievements......

So Zhang Ji wrote a letter, asking the imperial court to exempt Jiangzhou from taxation in order to reassure the people, and at the same time secretly sent people to publicize the benefits of coming to Jiangzhou, so that he went to Huangzhou, and the wharf was full of people and businessmen who came to Jiangzhou to make money.

It was originally a good thing, and even he solved many problems for Song Jiu.

But at this time, the government team was hastily set up, and the merchants and the main households did not dare to enclose the land and houses indiscriminately, and began to bribe like the Liu family.

Song Jiu didn't hate bribes much, he couldn't figure out this thing in that dynasty or country, and when he was in Guangnan, he just had to ask not to go too far. However, this is countless houses and cultivated land, there are 10,000 or 20,000 suites in Jiangzhou City alone, and there are many large mansions and mansions in the middle that have not been destroyed, how much is the value? From Hukou to the outskirts of Jiangzhou, there are 20,000 or 30,000 hectares of cultivated land that have become terra nullius, how much is it worth? So this bribery number is getting bigger and bigger.

The sugar-coated cannonball knocked down Zhang Ji, and only now did I see the tragic scene of the woman, huge greed caused serious injustice!

It seems that Zhang Ji made Jiangzhou prosperous again, but there is actually a huge crisis hidden behind it, the original residents will hate the court more and more, and the Song Dynasty has perfect inheritance regulations, the property is inherited by relatives after the death of the master, if the immediate family dies, it will be inherited by the closest relatives of the next family, and more than ninety percent of the people in Jiangzhou City have died, but they still have many relatives outside the city, that is, the owners of these houses and cultivated land, even if the whole family is killed, it cannot be regarded as ownerless property and ownerless farmland!

Now the people of Jiangzhou still don't know the road, once they know the Song law of the road, and they come out of fear again, and the trouble will start, and the contradiction will be even greater. Will Cao Han be sent to slaughter several counties in Jiangzhou again in the future?

Moreover, Zhang Ji was kind enough to ask the court for tax exemption at the beginning, which is not to be doubted, but the whole state is exempt from taxes, and it is natural for those victims to be exempt from taxes. Even the ten-year tax exemption can't make up for Cao Han's harm to them. Why are these outsiders exempt from taxes?

This tax might as well be exempt once it is exempted. On the contrary, it makes the aborigines hate it even more!

But there should be other problems in Jiangzhou City.

Liu didn't know what Song Jiu was thinking, and asked, "A few Lang Jun said that they were post envoys. Why stay here? ”

"Rushed all the way, tired, take a break." Song Jiu said lightly.

"How many Lang Jun are really post envoys?"

"Ha Lu Ha," Song Jiu Da said with a smile: "General Cao Bin has made meritorious contributions to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and after going back, he only said that Feng Yi sent him to Jiangnan as a business return, and the simple two words are that he is an envoy, and we are nothing, we can only say that he is a post envoy." ”

"A few of them are officials."

"Don't talk nonsense. I came to Jiangnan for the imperial court to send an envoy, before I came, I was a common people, and after I went back, most of them were still people, not as you imagined, they were big officials, do you think we are big officials? ”

Liu still has to talk about it, Song Jiu said: "Food is silent, food is silent." ”

Immerse yourself in eating, and rest after eating. It's tiring to get all the way.

Liu looked at their backs and said, "Is he telling the truth?" ”

"Lady, don't worry about him. We quickly got the house deed and title deed on this trip, and it was a complete success, and when they disembarked. The old slave had watched carefully, though each of them had a horse. However, only one horse was branded with the imprint of the imperial court, and the other two horses did not have an official. It's the horse with the brand, and the mark is very shallow. ”

"Uncle Cheng, what's that?"

"Ru'er, this means that these horses are raised by his family, and they are so robust, this person's family background is not simple, you see, he has a cross-courtyard by himself, and the wine and food he eats are very exquisite, which means that he has plenty of money, but he doesn't want to say, we can't ask, otherwise it may not be a good thing to annoy him."

Liu and the little maid were still a little confused, and Cheng Bo said again: "Haven't you heard it yet?" ”

"Hear what?"

Cheng Bo lowered his voice and said: "You just said that Zhang Zhizhou has a good relationship with Zhao Xianggong, and his subordinates are very disdainful, how many people in the world can disdain Zhao Xianggong?" Besides, he is a house slave. The old slave heard that Zhao Xianggong and the second king were fighting very fiercely, and the water was too deep, so we should get the house deed as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night. ”

"Uncle Cheng is right," Liu was shocked.

Cheng Bo was right, the water was too deep, deeper than he imagined, and deeper than Song Jiu thought.

When he got up early the next morning, Wang Zhen asked worriedly, "Will that lady intentionally follow us?" ”

"No, it's just a coincidence, her fortune is probably not small, the boat we hired yesterday is the largest, the river sails, the bigger the boat, the safer, so she got on that ship. This inn is the most extravagant in the city, so she also came to this inn. Don't have much contact with her though, so as not to leak out. Besides, Zhang Ji is about Zhao Pu's person, and the general judgment and Zhang Ji came together because of their common greed for ink, which is not good for us before the handover at this time. ”

However, Song Jiu didn't care too much, although Gu Tongju and Zhang Ji came together, but Song Jiu's background was stronger, his own strength and connections, the interests brought by Hezhou and Guangnanhai's commerce, and Pan Mei's strength, in front of this force, Zhang Ji and Gu Tong were nothing.

Suddenly, Song Jiu understood Zhao Kuangyin's other intention to let him come to Jiangzhou, Zhao Kuangyin did not execute Cao Han, but he didn't think that this matter was done right, but he didn't want it to be publicized, including Cao Han escorted a large amount of gold and silver money to Beijing, and dismantled the iron arhat first said that it was sent to Yingzhou, and then he didn't feel very good, and he couldn't go directly to the capital when he arrived in Yingzhou, so he changed his words and said that it was sent to Xiangguo Temple.

Let yourself come, not only to fancy your "love for the people", but also to your relationship with Cao Han's family, whether it is Cao Han, or Cao Han's sons, the relationship with the Song Dynasty is good, so more or less to give Cao Han face.

For the people of Jiangnan, what else should the imperial court do if they sent officials who love the people?

He hadn't thought of the truth yet.

He began to wander around the city again, and turned to the outside of the city, and Song Jiu discovered another terrible thing, soldiers!

The imperial court left two battalions of forbidden soldiers in Nanting County on the west side of Jiangzhou, which is easy to understand, whether in Bashu or Hunan and Guangnan, the imperial court has stationed forbidden soldiers in rotation, Jiangnan is not only two battalions of forbidden soldiers, there are several battalions of forbidden soldiers in other areas, it is best to put them in Jiangzhou, but Jiangzhou is disabled, and can only be placed in the neighboring Nanting County, where it has not been destroyed, the local area may provide food for the two battalions of officers and soldiers. Nanting is close to Jiangzhou, and if there is a change, you can arrive at the fastest time.

However, there are still three battalions of soldiers in Jiangzhou, whose role is to prevent theft of tribute, water, and miscellaneous affairs, and actually play a deterrent role.

There are box soldiers all over the country, and an important city like Jiangzhou must be necessary, but Jiangzhou is crippled, so these box soldiers are transferred from Jiangbei, anyway, there are borderless lands everywhere, and some arable land is moved to their families, and the strong men are also organized into an army.

It is a reasonable and reasonable An faction, but Song Jiu saw a terrible truth, Zhang Gu and the two benefited from the bribery of immigrants, immigration is tantamount to seizing the property of the murdered people in Jiangzhou, the officials are from the people of Jiangbei, and the soldiers are also from the people of Jiangbei, there is no difference between good and bad, and Song Jiu gradually looks down on the so-called good and bad, but this will form a tight network of interests, so what should I do after I take over?
