Chapter 328 Cultivating Royalists is Important
Hangzhou, still called Hangzhou, has not been changed to Lin'an.
At this time, Lin'an only built the first phase of the project, the second phase, the third phase, and continued, which had to build a large number of buildings, and hurt the people. Of course, this can be regarded as another way to expand domestic demand and meet employment!
At this time, on the sand table, Zhao Pu can carefully observe Hangzhou, and the more he observes, the more he feels that Hangzhou's geographical location is very good.
Hangzhou, located at the mouth of the Qiantang River, is a trumpet-shaped outlet in front of it, southeast is the Zhoushan Islands, where there are rich fishery resources, and to the northwest is Shanghai, Taihu Lake and other places. Of course, at this time, Shanghai has not yet taken shape, and some areas are still long seas.
Economically, Hangzhou is located in the center of the south of the Yangtze River, which can effectively control the south of the Yangtze River, and rely on the dense river network to quickly deploy troops to quell the rebellion; To the north is Taihu Lake, and the dense river network centered on Taihu Lake can be described as a natural barrier, which greatly hinders the southward movement of the Jin cavalry.
What Zhao Pu appreciates the most is that Hangzhou is an export-oriented city with developed maritime transportation and can prepare a huge fleet to build a strong navy.
Of course, the disadvantage is that Hangzhou is too prosperous and comfortable, and it is easy to erase the fighting spirit in people's hearts, become depressed, and be on the safe side.
Expanding the navy, expanding the military academy, opening a bank, etc., specific plans flashed out of Zhao Pu's mind and turned into meticulous plans. Then these plans are gradually refined and have the possibility of implementation.
After writing it, Zhao Pu lit the flame again, and burned the plan with a fire.
In the era of Song Shenzong, when Shenzong changed the law, Fu Bi warned in the past that as a king, he must not let his subordinates know his likes and dislikes, otherwise it is easy for someone to fall in favor. Or even take advantage of it. Zhao Ji also vowed that he didn't want to be used again.
And the ancients often said that kings should rule by bowing their arches. If you don't do anything, don't say anything, no one can spy on your preferences, and if you can't spy on your preferences, you won't be able to know your weaknesses, and you'll be invincible. The so-called non-action of Taoism and the rule of Confucianism are just that. On the other hand, if you move, you will be spotted as a weakness. Not good for you.
If the king moves too much, he will be found out by the courtiers, and then take the opportunity to take advantage of the loopholes.
At this point, Zhao Pu did a very bad job.
After becoming an emperor, he often went into battle shirtless. often works naked against the courtiers, which seems to be refreshing. In fact, too many flaws have been exposed. Targeted by some courtiers. At first, you can't see anything, but after a long time, you will find that you are gradually caught in the spider web made by the courtiers, like a stuck fly, trying to break free of the spider web but unable to get it.
The king is supreme. is high, but it is the loneliest, once the courtiers are hard topped, or demolished. Then it was a tragedy.
This is a troubled time, in which the monarchs and ministers are not unified in their thinking and pace, and the whole group will fall apart and be completely destroyed.
At this time, Zhao Pu seems to be supreme and glorious, but in fact he is also in constant crisis.
Just like this relocation of the capital, the main battle faction advocates moving the capital to Jiankang, which can better resist Jin; The peace faction advocated moving the capital to Hangzhou, which was more secure and safer. The two factions quarreled happily over where to decide where to go, and in the end Zhao Pu chose Hangzhou.
So in the eyes of the ministers, this was the victory of the peace faction, the peace faction overwhelmed the main battle faction, and the emperor began to tend to be conservative.
In fact, it was wrong, Zhao Pu moved the capital to Hangzhou, just because Hangzhou was safe, he could avoid the edge of the Jin army, which was conducive to the construction of the navy. Of course, there is another important idea, which Zhao Pu has not said to anyone, and that is to suppress the main battle faction.
The main battle faction is too radical, and always thinks that as soon as the king comes out, the Jin army will be defeated and defeated. always fantasized that the Jin army was like a chicken and a dog, and it was wiped out in an instant. This victory against the Jin Army has pushed this trend to the extreme. Among the main battle faction, there are many people who are manic and aggressive.
And history proves that the maniacs, the adventurous, are not staunch anti-gold factions. In the slightest setback, it will be transformed from the main battle faction into a peace faction or even a surrender faction.
This faction is the target of Zhao Pu's severe crackdown.
He didn't want to be kidnapped by these madmen and politics, and then panicked the Northern Expedition, retreated in a panic, and finally had no choice but to negotiate peace.
Also, in the eyes of outsiders, the emperor promoted the main battle faction, suppressed the peace faction, and engaged in political balance. In fact, it was because of Li Gang's personality charm.
Li Gang is not a good prime minister, he can't do it as a guy who rules the world; As for marching and fighting, strategizing, he is also a rotten street. But his character is very strong and trustworthy.
In the past years, Li Gang was also an adventurous faction, but after repeated defeats, he gradually matured, less anxious, and a little more calm. As long as Li Gang is not lined up to fight on the front line and is not in charge of some key departments, there should not be too many loopholes!
And first degrading and then rising, it is also to turn Li Gang into a hardcore royalist.
It's a pity, even a pathetic!
Zhao Pu is the emperor, but this throne is a little incorrect, and it was his father and brother who took the opportunity to become after they were captured. During his time as emperor, Zhao Pu's throne was extremely unstable, but after a series of actions, especially after repelling the Jin army, the throne was temporarily stable.
It's just a sad discovery that in the army, Zhao Pu is still influential. After all, the Bazi Army is his personal guard, his descendant troops, and it is enough to be trusted.
However, among the ministers in the court, the power was weak. In the imperial court, there are anti-gold factions and peace factions, but there are no royalists, and there are no hardcore royalists.
In the coming stage, it is important to cultivate royalists.
………………
With the establishment of the capital of Hangzhou, Hangzhou began to expand on the scale of the original city.
Some civilian houses were pushed or occupied, and became the product of the government.
It is very sad that in this era when there is no property law, the interests of the small people are always vulnerable to damage. Although the imperial court has received subsidies from many parties, the losses are still much worse than the gains.
Of course, the interests of the small people are damaged, and they can only endure it, who makes them small people, as small people, they must have the consciousness of being oppressed.
In fact, too many small people have chosen to endure. Of course, some people were not convinced, and a seven-rank petty official began to play, writing: "For the king, the people should come first, and the society should come first." Now the mountains and rivers are broken, and half of the country is not guaranteed, and it is in the south of the Yangtze River. Let the traitors in the court make trouble, the treacherous minister Wang Boyan, and collude with profiteers to harm the people............"
The spearhead of the book is directly pointed at the current Prime Minister Wang Boyan.
The construction project in Hangzhou was set by Zhao Pu and implemented by Wang Boyan.
In the implementation, some behaviors are too irritable and the means are too drastic, especially in the demolition of houses, and there are many problems. In specific affairs, officials and businessmen colluded and engaged in dirty behaviors.
These were originally the norm in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, and they were not new.
The Great Song Dynasty did not kill scholars and doctors, and treated officials very favorably, and there was no anti-corruption bureau to control corruption, and the problem of corruption was very serious. In some large-scale project construction, the problem of collusion between officials and businessmen is very serious, and as long as there is no big problem in terms of quality, they all turn a blind eye and close one eye on such issues as eating kickbacks, giving gifts, and earning price differences.
And Wang Boyan presided over the expansion of Hangzhou and received some benefits from it, which is also extremely normal.
Soon, this letter was sent to the cabinet.
The cabinet members present only glanced at it slightly, and then threw it aside.
After all, there are dozens of such complaints every day, and no one will have too much leisure to pay attention to these small things. Besides, everyone here has received benefits from it, and they are not willing to do it. So "postpone the handover".
It's just that this time it caused a storm!
…………
"Lord Qin, Wang Boyan has been tricked!"
"Wang Boyan should also go!" Qin Hui said quietly, "With him blocking the way, it is impossible for me to take another step forward." I am the left minister, Zhao Ding is the right minister, it seems that the status is noble, but it is still far inferior to Wang Boyan. Only when he leaves, we will be useful! ”
"It's just, just one book, can Wang Boyan leave?" The cronies on the side asked.
"All is in the Holy Will! Wang Boyan's talent is not enough! The emperor already has the intention of deposing him, but there is no good reason, I just obey the emperor's wishes! Qin Hui said. (To be continued......)
