Chapter 380: Confrontation (Part II)

Zhao Pu is very smart, he did not sentence Zhang Wangbei to death, the crime is insufficient, and if Zhang Wangbei is sentenced to abandon the city, Zhao Kuangyi's consent must be obtained, and there will be variables.

But even if he was sentenced to exile to Shamen Island, in exchange for Song Jiu in Zhongshu, without Zhao Kuangyi's consent, a magistrate would be sentenced to Liushamen Island, he didn't dare, but Zhao Pu dared. The matter is a foregone conclusion, Zhao Kuangyi still needs Zhao Pu now, that is, Song Jiu is about to make trouble, will the sentence be changed?

However, Zhao Pu may be good at mental skills, but he doesn't know the specific ins and outs of Zhao Kuangyi and the Zhang family brothers and sisters, so he miscalculated.

Song Jiu's methods are also very simple.

first asked Guo Da to go to Yuxian County to investigate, and also made some other arrangements, and then let Qi appeal, not to say that Zhang Wangbei's punishment was unfair, but to say that someone deliberately dug the embankment, which has nothing to do with the Zhongshu judgment, and it has become a case, and if it becomes a case, the Zhongshu resolution can be overturned again.

found Zhao Kuangyi again, told what happened, and then said that 900 acres of silt fields were opened.

The figure of 900 hectares is not high, and it is impossible to count how much cultivated land was cultivated in the Song Dynasty. There are many hidden fields, and the intention of hidden fields is to evade taxes. However, some people estimate that the cultivated land at the peak of the Song Dynasty will reach more than 8 million hectares, and the average cultivated land in a county will be close to 8,000 hectares.

However, there are only more than 1,700 households in Yu County, and this is still Song Jiu's capture of many people in Zhuozhou City to settle in various parts of Hedong, Hebei, and there were originally only more than 900 households. There are only 30,000 households in the entire Northern Han Dynasty, and there may be many people in Yuxian County.

With more than 1,700 households, there are 900 hectares of fertile silt fields, and then the original mulberry and hemp fields, how will the lives of the people in the whole county become rich? It was a dead man, but if there were no more than 900 acres of silt fields. How many more people will die of poverty in a year, and they will die of disease. Those who are malnourished and die of old age early, and those who have no money to marry and leave their homeland. How many will there be, and who will be bigger and who small?

Some people went to Yuxian County to deliberately instigate, and even Qi's appeal, something bad may happen......

Enough is enough.

Sun Rixin's ugly performance made Zhao Kuangyi very dissatisfied, so he took over the case himself.

He also sent Hao Zheng, an envoy from Rujing, to Yu County to investigate.

Hao Jing went down to see and quickly got the result.

Zhang Wangbei not only has the merit of silting fields, but also the entire Yuxian County is not all barren. There are also some natural small basins of the river valley that can be cultivated and cultivated, after two years of governance by Zhang Wangbei, the people have basically settled down, but there are still some people who are mainly hunting, Zhang Wangbei is deeply influenced by Song Jiu, mainly quiet, try to persuade, persuade not to move and not reluctantly, so in the county to encourage merchants to build some shops. For these hunters to sell what they hunt. Last year, I also did one thing, planting grapes in Yuxian County, planning to introduce winemaking technology in the future, and Liangzhou and Taiyuan wines in the Tang Dynasty were the first in the world. In the fifth generation, these industries were lost, but there were still techniques that became backward. The scale of the industry is also very small. Looking north is to recreate the grand scene of the Tang Dynasty.

This is still early, so it was planted. The scale is not too large, and the initial harvest will not be officially available until next year.

The bitter lord of the dead is not happy. But when other people saw these changes, and the usual Zhangwangbei case was fair, not greedy or dirty, Guo Da went to Yuxian County and secretly dialed a few words.

As soon as Hao Jing came, hundreds of people begged for pardon and passed it on to Zhao Kuangyi, asking the emperor to let Zhang Wangbei come back.

Where did Hao Jing dare to agree, even if this matter forgave Zhang Wangbei's sins, it would be impossible for Zhang Wangbei to stay in Yuxian.

Some squires wrote a book of all the people and asked Yu Jing to bring it to Zhao Kuangyi.

Hao Jing looked around, this kid did a good job, so he curiously detoured to Lingshi County. Zhang Wangbei was the first county magistrate in Lingshi, and he was still a little jerky, but he also had a political voice.

After looking at it, Hao Jing returned to the capital and reflected the situation to Zhao Kuangyi.

Zhao Kuangyi was silent for most of the day.

At this time, he suddenly thought of the earliest batch of students in the academy.

I deliberately suppressed it, thinking about it, there are only two or three thousand households in the river, and now there are seven governors, twenty-one magistrates, and other officials, such as the county magistrate, the county magistrate, the general judge of the state, the chief of the prison, and some Beijing officials, almost reaching nearly 100 people. Don't talk about yourself, if you change Emperor Wenjing of Han, you will also be suppressed.

However, it is undeniable that almost ninety percent of the students in the earliest group of students in the Song Jiu Academy performed very well. Later, in the academy, Song Jiu let go, although it was good and became an important official base in the Song Dynasty, but it was gradually inferior to before.

After a long pause, he said, "Excuse yourself from the sin of Zhang Wangbei." ”

After thinking about it, he said: "It just so happens that Taigu County is vacant, let him know Taigu County." ”

Taigu is Qi County, not only Hao Wangbei's crime, but also slightly increased, at least higher than the current Xiaokou's salary.

With another edict, Sun Rixin was dismissed from his official position.

As a dignified imperial historian and an important supervisory official of the state, his performance this time was too ugly.

Zhang Wangbei came back from Dengzhou after the New Year, and he didn't suffer much, so he was taken to Shamen Island, but in Dengzhou, Pan Weizheng deliberately detained him, and before he went to the island, the new edict of the imperial court arrived.

The benefits are yet to come.

This trouble, Zhang Wangbei entered Zhao Kuangyi's field of vision, as long as he continues to maintain the style in Yuxian, then his career will have a bright future.

In terms of popularity, Song Jiu's popularity is definitely ten times higher than Zhao Pu's popularity.

However, the problem is to offend Song Jiu, as long as you don't harbor evil intentions, it doesn't matter if you shout loudly Song Jiu that you have done something wrong, maybe Song Jiu will also communicate with you modestly, where is my mistake?

But if you offend Zhao Pu, you will die.

Therefore, in the dispute between Zhao and Song in the court, there are people who dare to help Zhao Pu, but few people dare to help Song Jiu.

However, there are some people, such as Lei Dexiang and Hou Zhi, they are different, that is, there is no Song Jiu, and Zhao Pu also wants to force them to death.

Seeing that Zhao Pu lost a game, some people began to be moved.

When the Lantern Festival came, a banquet was held in the palace, and Hou Zhi suddenly wrote a book during the banquet.

He compared the income and expenditure of the three divisions of the Taiping Rejuvenation with last year's income.

That year was almost the best time since the founding of the Song Dynasty.

The income of the copper supervisor, the steel supervisor, the Hezhou industry, the city shipping company, the sugar industry, the cement, and the surge in the output of various pit mines, and there is another point, that is, under the proposal of Song Jiu, all kinds of pit and mine supervisors with little or no profits, as well as unimportant river crossings, some auctioned to private contractors, between one in and one out, and a large amount of income, and at the same time relaxed the labor of the people, but this article was implemented earlier, compared with the historical Song Dynasty, they directly or indirectly increased the Song Dynasty's income by at least nearly 20 million yuan.

This definitely can't be compared, even Song Jiu can't be compared.

Hou compares the surplus and the use of the expenditure.

Under the impetus of the Song Dynasty, many places were developing, building water conservancy, polders in the south of the Yangtze River, cotton in the north, plus the increase in population, the increase in cultivated land, and the two taxes did not increase, which is equivalent to a decrease in the two taxes of the people.

But that year, the national surplus almost reached more than 17 million, and the Song Dynasty's income count was a bit chaotic, the money was a lot, the gold and silver were two, the grass was a bundle, the grain was stone, and the cloth was a horse, because the two taxes were relatively reduced, and the actual gold content of more than 20 million yuan was heavier.

This does not include the fact that the state allocated a lot of money that year for local construction, water conservancy, school buildings, and roads and bridges, otherwise the surplus would have been even greater.

This is income.

There is also the atmosphere of officialdom, Song Jiu's approach made some people laugh, but inadvertently, the entire officialdom atmosphere became sunny, and many officials worked hard to get up.

And then last year.

In terms of income, last year's income increased by nearly 20 million compared with the three years of the rejuvenation of the country, but what about the surplus? Barely about three million. Not to mention last year's military spending, the reform of the military system in the three years of Taiping and rejuvenation of the country also cost a lot of money.

However, the gap between entry and exit is nearly 30 or 40 million, where has the more than 20 million yuan gone, some officials have increased their salaries, some soldiers' bereavement rewards have increased, and some disaster relief expenses have increased, but more of it is unnecessary waste.

As for the officialdom, the atmosphere is also getting worse.

Some officials regard hasty restraint as good governance, and the people suffer from it. Hou then listed a large pile of evidence.

There is one thing that Hou Zhi has not yet mentioned, that is, the uniformity of taxation.

It should be said that the taxation of the Song Dynasty is more reasonable, and the Ming Dynasty is called eccentric, the country is poor and the people are rich, but what kind of people are this people, the gentry, the big households, the powerful and powerful, and even the country is almost finished, and these big households are not willing to donate a penny to the country. As a result, everyone was finished together.

In fact, Song Jiu reminded Zhao Kuangyin of this from earlier, and used Hezhou as a demonstration. After he entered the middle book, he also deliberately adjusted it to make the tax collection more reasonable. However, the commercial tax ratio is declining, not because commerce is no longer good, but it is better than before, but the objects of the imperial court are making historical mistakes, and the officials and nobles do not dare to levy taxes or levy less taxes, and they are small and medium-sized merchants. However, the proportion of the two taxes is increasing. Therefore, the data cited by Hou Zhi is still not standardized. Although it is an increase of more than 20 million yuan in three years compared with Xingguo, the actual cost performance is declining, and it has only increased by about 10 million yuan. This, combined with the various expenditures listed by Hou Zhi, resulted in almost no savings in the finances.

But it can't be said that it is Zhao Pu's mistake, there is also Lu Duoxun's mistake, if you don't change Song Jiu, change someone else, maybe the mistake will be even greater.

Listening to Hou Zhi finish reading this recital, Zhao Kuangyi's face darkened.

Song Jiu's face also became gloomy.

What Hou Zhi did was not necessarily a good thing.

Now Song Jiu can see some of Zhao Kuangyi's intentions.

What he wants is a balance.

If you are not afraid of fighting, you are afraid of fighting too much.

Zhao Pu made a move against Zhang Wangbei, if it was successful, not only did he hit Song Jiu, but also took away the others to turn against him and fire at Song Jiu. And he hit Song Jiu's relatives.

and Zhao Kuangyi's psychology towards the Zhang family's brothers and sisters, so he reversed it in time.

But I haven't found out who went to Yuxian to instigate, the meaning is very clear, be quiet for me, don't cross the red line.

Now Hou Zhi has also crossed the red line, and he pointed out that Prime Minister Zhao Pu did not do a good job.

Even Zhao Kuangyi will think that he is forming a party.

However, Song Jiu couldn't explain it.

He looked at Hou Zhi and sighed in his heart, he definitely wanted to do something to Zhao Pu, but not with these means, and he didn't even need Song Jiu to come forward...... (To be continued......)
