Chapter 313 Yangzhou where prices are soaring

Meritorious deeds should be rewarded, and faults should be punished!

In the Han and Tang dynasties, the defeat of the army was to cut off the title, the first floor to the end, and sometimes even the family was implicated. It's just that in the Song Dynasty, there were too many defeats, and the punishment for defeat was also reduced. Li Gang was defeated again and again, if it was in the Han and Tang dynasties, he would be reduced to a civilian and never used; The heavy is to behead the three armies. It's just that in the Song Dynasty, it was just a symbolic derogation, and after being degraded, the literati also escorted him in many ways, and they all complained about him, feeling that the punishment was too serious!

No way!

Taizu said that as long as the scholar doctor does not rebel, he will not kill the scholar doctor, and he will only degrade the official. After the demotion of the official, you can still pick up the girl, you can still eat, drink and have fun, and you can still be comfortable.

Zhao Ding lost the battle!

The maximum punishment is only exile.

It's just that there is a shortage of personnel in the DPRK and China, and once Zhao Ding is demoted, for a while, there is no replacement candidate, and it will be troublesome.

And Zhao Ding, even if he has a thousand shortcomings, at least he is a loyal minister, and he doesn't have to worry about betraying the Song Dynasty, nor does he have to worry about stabbing him in the back.

In short, there is no punishment under criminal law, only mental torture.

Therefore, I can only ask Zhao Ding to write a guilty excerpt, which can be regarded as a review of the fault! And whether the guilty fold is qualified or not, it is all in his words.

"Weichen, thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Ding turned around and left, relieved in his heart, he finally didn't have to demote his officials, he finally didn't have to leave the center.

Zhao Pu said: "Take a good look at your mistakes, as a minister, don't suffer from lack of talent, but worry about lack of reflection!" ”

"Weichen Province!" Zhao Dingdao.

Zhao Ding retreated.

Looking at the sky, it was a good season to visit at this time, Zhao Pu suddenly became interested, and wanted to pay a private visit to Weifu and go shopping.

Under the protection of the guards, he left the palace. Zhao Pu walked on the streets of Yangzhou again.

At this moment, it has been more than a month since the Jin army retreated. The trauma of the war is still there, and Yangzhou is still in depression at the moment. As the war progressed, in order to prevent the Jin army from attacking, the canal to Yangzhou was completely interrupted. Losing the transportation in the north, Yangzhou seems to have lost its muscles and bones.

On the streets, there are refugees everywhere, and decay!

At a roadside stall, Zhao Pu sat down casually and drank tea. Leisurely looking at Yangzhou.

"Let's go!" Zhao Pudao.

"Husband, where are you going?" Wang Wuyue asked.

"The road is under your feet, and where you walk with your feet, it is the road!" Zhao Pu said calmly, "Why do you want to have another goal? The goal only leaves people at a loss. Just follow your nature! ”

Wang Wuyue was puzzled, so she could only continue to move forward.

And the guards around him. It's also a nervous guard. I am afraid that there will be an accident. And Zhao Da, as the leader of the guards, spread the guards around in advance to prevent accidents.

It's just an accident that often rarely happens.

This micro-service visit was only a temporary idea, just under the protection of the guards. It's dispatched, and it's impossible to assassinate at this moment.

Zhao Pu is like this, walking on the street at random, without a goal. There is no direction, just walk around, or stop by the roadside, ask about the price of rice, ask about the price of tea on the roadside, or the price of cotton and wadding, or the price of salt, and some ask about it, and at the same time tell you to buy some.

Wang Wuyue on the side looked confused, and for a while she didn't know why, where could these teas, rice, etc. on the roadside compare to the tributes in the palace.

And Zhao Pu still had a smile on his face, but his heart was extremely cold.

The private interview of Weifu is not to pick up girls and girls, nor to pretend to step on people, let alone to judge unjust cases, these are meaningless. The emperor is supreme, and with a wave of his hand, there are a large number of beautiful women in his arms, and there is no need to search for wildflowers on the roadside, it makes no sense. And pretending to be forced to step on people is even more meaningless, because you can mix in the world, which one is the second force; And it is even more meaningless to deal with some unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, even in the era of the Celestial Empire, there are many unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, and it is a feudal society of all evils.

The purpose of the private interview is to observe the people's feelings, and to perceive the people's livelihood and people's quality of life from the subtleties.

In fact, the ministers always like to deceive, report good news but not bad news, fool the emperor, and often get second-hand information, third-hand information, many aspects have been seriously distorted, completely deviating from the facts. The purpose of the private interview is to see the first-hand information and see the truth of the matter.

For example, at this moment, the most important thing for the reconstruction of Yangzhou is to stabilize food prices and sufficient food supply, so that the market is balanced and will not affect the normal life of the people.

The people regard food as the sky, the sky and the earth are big, and the food is the biggest

It's just that the situation of the investigation is extremely bad, and the prices in Yangzhou have skyrocketed, and it has reached a terrifying point. If a businessman's heart is dark, there is no bottom line. And none of these civil and military ministers in the court mentioned it. The recitals of the ministers either asked for credit, or accused so-and-so of rebellion, or impeached each other, and in short, none of them mentioned the issue of prices.

Food prices are the most important and relevant to people's livelihood.

But the Chinese Wu of the DPRK don't care the most, and the rising price of food will not starve them.

Moreover, in order to open the back door widely, those merchants will naturally distribute some profits to the court officials as a protective umbrella. And those ministers naturally turned a blind eye and closed one eye.

Nothing matters!

Grass people, grass people, life is like a mustard, and only those who are officials do not care about the lives of the people.

The more he walked, the more he looked at the lives of the people at the bottom, and the heavier Zhao Pu's mood became. After the war, the price of grain soared, not only in Yangzhou, but also in other areas south of the Yangtze River.

"Chang Tai breathed to cover up his tears, mourning how difficult the people's livelihood is!" Zhao Pu said leisurely.

"Husband, what are you?" Wang Wuyue said.

"The people's requirements are very low, just asking for a full meal is enough, but unfortunately the court is still difficult to meet! Staying in the palace, facing four high walls, thinking that the world is peaceful, is actually just self-deception! Zhao Pu's tone was full of disappointment, and he was very disappointed with the Chinese martial arts of the DPRK.

"Husband!" At this time, Wang Wuyue realized something, but she didn't know how to persuade her.

Zhao Pu said: "I'm tired! ”

Under a big tree, Zhao Pu sat down, while the guards stood aside, guarding.

After walking so many ways, Zhao Pu was naturally tired, and while resting, he was thinking about how to deal with the problem of soaring prices.

At this time, the guards brought tea, and Zhao Pu drank it carelessly.

"Brother, brother, it doesn't matter to you...... Let go of me, you bullies! ”

"You bullies, you bully our brothers and sisters like this!"

Zhao Pu, who was drinking tea, looked at him, this is a Bianliang accent.

When I met my hometown acquaintance, I met my hometown!

Zhao Pu looked in the direction where the voice came from, only to see a large group of people around the street, a few strong men with round shoulders and thick waists kicked and beat a thin scholar on the ground, and the other strong men pulled a girl in cloth, the girl struggled hard, crying loudly, and there were some people around who watched the excitement, everyone had unbearable and unbearable faces, but no one dared to step forward to dissuade them.

"What's going on?" Zhao Pu asked.

Zhao Da on the side immediately said, "Son, later!" ”

As he spoke, Zhao Da stepped forward and said loudly: "Stop!" Wait, make a noise here, spare my young master's Yaxing, don't get out! ”

At this time, His Majesty the Emperor was in a bad mood, and this group of people actually disturbed the emperor's displeasure, isn't that looking for death!

"Hmph, boy, who are you?" A strong man with a beard on his face asked, with caution in his tone, as a thug, what he needs most is to observe words and looks, not to provoke difficult people, and the person in front of him, the aura on his body is terrifying, and he doesn't seem to be a person to mess with.

"My lord, help me!" The reader said in a hoarse voice.

Zhao Da asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Friend, we're capturing fugitive slaves!" The bearded man laughed.

"No, we are not fugitives, they framed us!" The man dressed as a scholar immediately asked.

"Bastards, come and tie them all up!" Zhao Dake is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, one of the emperor's closest courtiers, but he is not in the mood to pay attention to the ant Cao Jian, and he is not in the mood to fight a lawsuit.

Those strong men were stunned for a moment, and were stunned by his words, and when they turned around and saw just these three people, they suddenly burst into laughter, and the bearded man laughed wildly: "Tie us all up, do you know who we are!" ”

"Presumptuous!" Zhao Da rushed forward and said sharply: "You also said this?!" Blind your dogs, dare to be disrespectful to my son-in-law! Don't hurry up yet! (To be continued......)
