Zhao Kuangyin was very happy to see his favorite little daughter return to the palace, and immediately asked Gong E in the palace to prepare the best fruit, although he was married, he was still a child in his eyes.

Princess Yongqing asked, "Father, I heard Song Jiu say that he sent you a good thing." ”

"What Song Jiu said ......" Zhao Kuangyin's face suddenly changed, and he shouted: "Why did you go to find Song Jiu?" ”

"Father, don't scare me."

"Say."

"He said that Hebei Yanei is full of bad people, no, I haven't reprimanded him yet, so I let him cheat out."

Zhao Kuangyin breathed a sigh of relief, the punishment for degrading officials was too heavy, if his daughter came to reprimand him again, he would not feel good when he became a courtier. His voice was calmer, and he couldn't blame his daughter, she was taken advantage of, so he explained: "Good daughter, don't you understand, Hebei can pay a penny of taxes over the years?" ”

"No matter how much tax you pay, it's not as good as the fire of the hypocrite."

"Who said that?"

"That's what all the ladies say."

Zhao Kuangyin's face was a little ugly, and he said: "That fire is excessive, but it is meritorious to level the hypocrisy and cure the hypocrite." The merits and demerits are offset by the demerits, you know? It was the fire that burned some of the wealth, and what I saw was more than 200,000 households in Quang Nam, and more than 1 million people were freed from the sea of suffering. In addition, the gradual emergence of these things, such as enclosing fields, Zhancheng rice, river islands, cotton, cold melons, sugar cane, cylinder carts, dams in water, and pit mines, how many people have been fed, and how much wealth has been generated. It's just that these riches are not in the palace, but in the hands of the people of the world. I am the king of a country, and the wealth of the world is the wealth of me, you know? ”

"Then why do you want to dismiss him?"

"He has a somewhat loose temperament, so I deliberately dismissed his official and honed it. I will still use it in the future. Zhao Kuangyin said here, and suddenly thought of a question. Even his own daughter thinks so, let alone outsiders. So he said to the eunuch beside him: "You go and pass on the decree and restore the ninth marquis of the Song Dynasty." ”

The official is not good to come back immediately, but he can return the title first.

"Whoa."

The eunuch left, and Zhao Kuangyin said: "Look, I will restore his title immediately, don't I seem to need him?" ”

"I still don't understand."

"You'd better not ask about it. In the future, you can't ask about Hebei, and don't let Xianxin ask. ”

"Hmm."

In fact, Wei Xianxin also has a part in this matter, this person is stingy and greedy for money. Because Princess Yongqing looks ordinary, she is not too good to her, but Princess Yongqing is young and can't notice it. But Zhao Da is alive, Wei Xianxin doesn't dare to go too far, and Zhao Kuangyin doesn't know what to do. And this little girl is very well-behaved, otherwise Zhao Kuangyin would not hurt her. Princess Yongqing asked again: "Father, what about the thing that Xiao Jiu gave me?" ”

It was she who came, and Zhao Kuangyin was reluctant to take it out for the second person. Just this bottle, not weighing three or four catties, occasionally opened the cap and ate a bite with Queen Song's fingers. The youngest daughter wants. Zhao Kuangyin had no choice, so he sent a eunuch to pour half of the bottle from the dormitory and put it up. Bring it in. Zhao Kuangyin carefully poured a little and put it in the porcelain cup.

Princess Yongqing looked at it in amazement and asked, "What is this?" Jade? It's not like jade, so broken. ”

I also took a little and put it in my hand to look at. I didn't think it was sugar.

"Taste it."

"Can it eat?"

"I can eat it."

Princess Yongqing tasted it, her brows jumped, and she said, "It's so sweet, what is it, Father." ”

"It's sugar."

"Sugar, what kind of candy is this?"

"It's still a kind of sucrose."

"No," Princess Yongqing said, there is crystallized sugar, but now this sugar is also backward, and it is viscous, and it is also crushed and crystalline, which is not the same. Suddenly, she jumped up happily and said, "Father, I understand, Song Jiu said that if he wants to get rich, it has something to do with this thing." ”

"His little caution is not for you to send a steward to Guangnan to plant sugarcane, as soon as this thing comes out, it will not only be sold in China, but also sold to Fanzi and foreign countries, and sugarcane will be expensive."

"I'm also making sugar."

"That's not good, this is a state workshop, private individuals are not allowed to make it, you should send a steward to grow sugarcane." This Song Jiu has taken you all together, and he is bent on making money. Zhao Kuangyin finally thought of a serious shortcoming of Song Jiu, there was one thing Song Jiu still didn't know, he warned badly, he couldn't remember if he didn't warn, and he warned those Yanai who wanted to go crazy for money, so he began to use the ship to load the goods in exchange for the part, and then sell it to Jingdong Some pit mines. The officials below are not very easy to say, let's say, the pit mine is indeed very tired, and some black-hearted mine owners are reluctant to pay wages, but it always has to hire people. It is better to harm the people of the Central Plains than to harm the people. But not to mention, these mine owners are originally black-hearted, and they are Yiren who were bought back with money, and they have black accounts, so they are even more abusive. mentioned this matter euphemistically, and Zhao Kuangyin didn't know what to do. There is a shortage of people, there is a shortage everywhere.

The thought flashed through him and he said, "Do you want it?" If you want to ask that Song Jiu, ask for a little more, and then give a little to your father. ”

"Hey, what can't you ask for?"

"I'm the emperor, I have to set an example, you see it's so difficult for my father to want something, and besides, you're a princess. So, in the future, I will have a face for my father, there are indeed many things that are not done well in Hebei, but they are all children, and I am not very good at saying it, it will hurt the hearts of some old courtiers. But neither you nor Xianxin can get involved. ”

"I know." Princess Yongqing replied as if she didn't understand.

She happily took the white sugar and left, Zhao Kuangyin called Wang Jien and said: "You secretly went to Hebei to investigate, Song Jiu said to ask the lawyer, is it possible that with the glass and the mirror, the treatment of servants in Hebei has not improved?" ”

Wang Jien went down for a secret visit for a day, came back in the evening, and said to Zhao Kuangyin: "It's useless, it's still the same as before." Not only the industries in the Yanei, but also the industries of other merchants under the leadership of the Hebei atmosphere, did not treat the servants well, especially at the end of last year, when there were many victims of the disaster, and many servants were lured to sign. ”

Zhao Kuangyin felt deeply disappointed.

But some words can't be said directly, once they are said, it will be the time when the picture is poor, and Zhao Pu has a great merit, especially when he was in Chuzhou, his father came to see him suddenly became seriously ill, but at this time he received Chai Rong's order to lead the troops to Yangzhou, just when he was embarrassed, Zhao Pu said, general, you will hand over Lingzun to me, I will serve him for the general, and then serve the medicine day and night, which is equivalent to replacing Zhao Kuangyin in the filial piety of the son of man on his deathbed, since then, Zhao Kuangyin has never regarded Zhao Pu as an outsider and became an emperor, He also called Mrs. Zhao Pu and his sister-in-law.

Because of this relationship, he can't bear to say ugly things.

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin was very frightened, and he had no choice between home and country. But reality forced him to make a choice.

The food from Quang Nam has not yet arrived, and everyone is very unfamiliar with sea ships. Including the former Song Jiu, he thinks it is the speed of a river boat. Therefore, I was very surprised to hear that Hangzhou would arrive in the Wa Kingdom in three days if it was smooth sailing. Then I went to Quang Nam to ask the merchants, and it was further proved that although I went back and forth to Dashi for a year and a half, it was not on the road, and the time on the road was only three months, if I was lucky, all the wind was smooth, two months was enough, of course, it was unlikely. The rest of the time is spent waiting for the monsoon.

Therefore, Zhilu Dao Guangnan will bring grain over, but it is believed that at least a few months later, the prefectures near the capital will also receive timely relief, Caozhou in the lower reaches of the Wuzhang River, because of the lack of relief, began to starve to death, some people in order to get a little food, had to sell their sons and daughters.

The officials of Caozhou did not dare to hide it, and reported Caozhou's embarrassment to the imperial court.

Zhao Kuangyin had no choice but to transfer 20,000 stone rice from the tense Jingshi granary to save the emergency first.

He also made the work Zuolang Lu Guangfan as the grain envoy in Beijing, and Zhao Juchuan of the Taifu Temple as the grain envoy in Xijing, and transported the grain from the west to the capital.

If you don't look at it seriously, you just think that the imperial court is trying to transport grain to the capital from all directions, and then allocate it to the disaster area. Carefully connect the events before and after, and a terrible truth will be detected.

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin also felt tired.

I am not afraid of fighting, but I must also have a sense of proportion.

So it was beaten again.

casually found an opportunity to demote Li Chongju from the Jiedu envoy to the general of the left guard.

Say nothing.

But Zhao Pu, you are a smart person and should understand. And at this point, I won't dismiss Chu Zhaofu, and you can stop it. At this time, Zhao Kuangyin was very weak, Brother Zhao, in the end, you are the emperor, or I am the emperor.

……

A spring rain in early spring was falling, and the He family said worriedly in the house: "Official, Your Majesty has degraded your in-laws again." ”

"What are you worried about? As long as I am loyal to Your Majesty, everything will be fine," Zhao said. Obviously, He didn't understand the meaning of his words, why did he dare to do this, Zhao Kuangyin could be less Li Chongju, and he couldn't be less. Zhao Dezhao grew up, and Zhao Defang gradually grew up. In order to pave the way for his son's ascendancy, there must be one person in the court who can control Zhao Kuangyi. Except for himself, who can control Zhao Kuangyi. It's a pity that that stupid woman is incompetent, and she has not had a good relationship with the queen so far, otherwise the little queen in the palace will say good things and let the emperor set up Zhao Dezhao, not the youngest son Zhao Defang, and the emperor must take down Zhao Kuangyi.

But Zhao Kuangyi's weird low-key made Zhao Pu very uneasy.

Ignoring his wife and walking around the house, the emperor is not afraid, as long as he calls his wife his sister-in-law one day, he can stay in this phase, and what he is worried about is Kaifeng Mansion.

Thinking about it, his eyes suddenly lit up, staring at the southwest direction, he seemed to see through the drizzle, and saw a place, where there is a state called Fangzhou, Fangzhou lives a family, there is a widow, a young man who has just reached the age of the crown, his wife and two concubines, and six sons.

He thought in his heart that this little emperor was older, but the generals of the Chai family had not yet grown old. As long as you do it yourself, I believe Your Majesty will like it. If he dies, his brother-in-law will definitely panic, or he will make trouble, so what will the emperor think?

In his heart, he didn't like the Chai family either, Liu Ci valued his talent and recommended it to Chai Rong, Chai Rong saw that he was a cripple, he didn't like it very much, and he was sent to the most dangerous front line Chuzhou like a flower child.

In public and private, it's easy to do it, and it's in Fangzhou, where ghosts don't lay eggs! (To be continued......)
