Chapter 301: Superior (I)

Song Jiu really hinted that Princess Yongqing and Wei Xianxin were reconciled.

If it weren't for Zhao Da to die, Wei Xianxin would dare to abuse Princess Yongqing, Zhao Er did Zhao Da, that was a matter of the family, and externally, his niece was still a royal person, Wei Xianxin didn't have the guts. But Zhao Da died, and Wei Xianxin would be even more "respectful" to Princess Yongqing.

Song Jiu didn't study history, but he had read a lot of fictional novels, but after reading them, most of them forgot about them, and he didn't know much about what happened later. But now it is okay to be reconciled, just like the Liu Jiyuan brothers of the Northern Han Dynasty, their mother is a princess, and their father is two fathers.

It seems that Wei Xianxin is not very good to this little Lori, if he is divorced now, Zhao Da is still alive, and he can still find a good colt for Yongqing, such as Shi Baoji and Wang Chengyan, probably because their father trained them properly, Song Jiu once ridiculed Shi Shouxin for not giving money to migrant workers, but looking at his two sons, Song Jiu was very suspicious. If Shi Shouxin is greedy to such an extent, can he train these two children? The children of the Wang family are also good.

Yes, there are many people, like Cao Bin's children, Pan Mei has been away for many years, and they are relatively loose in their control of Pan Weide, but they repeatedly told in the letter that they may not be as good as Cao Bin's children in the future, but they will not do evil in the capital.

As soon as Zhao Da died, who else cared about this little Lori?

However, Pan Li'er objected, and Song Jiu didn't dare to do more. It's Princess Yongqing who listened to her own words and put down her body frame to Wei Xianxin first, what kind of frame can she actually put on? Zhao Kuangyin's three daughters, Song Jiu, all knew each other, especially Shi Baoji's wedding, and Song Jiu also gave a generous gift.

The problem will not be with Princess Yongqing, but with Wei Xianxin. After the most reluctance and separation, what should Zhao Kuangyin do? He must be like himself. persuade Xiao Lori and Wei Xianxin, these seven persuasions and eight pulls. Zhao Da has almost completed his life's journey.

Therefore, the last one said: "Your Highness, but you also have to look at it, although the stubborn stone cannot nod, the iron rod can be sharpened into rusty needles." ”

Princess Yongqing said confusedly, "I'll go back and give it a try." ”

Seeing off Princess Yongqing, Pan Li'er said: "Official, that's a royal matter. ”

Can Pan Li'er still not hear it? What is respectful like a guest, if it is really respectful like a guest, then it is a good thing, this is a snub. It cannot be called respectful.

But everything in the house is in turmoil, where can I manage the princess and the concubine, if the little princess is not strict, it will make the emperor angry, and the consequences are worrying.

Song Jiu also knew the truth and said: "The little princess is a good person, so I have one more mouth, if you object, I won't say it." But if anyone does this to my daughter in the future. I'll let her go right away. ”

"You, you're talking nonsense again, my daughters are not beautiful and moving, why do you dislike them?"

"Looks matter. Feelings are also important, are you old, I will take a concubine? ”

"You dare! Jonah. When Su comes back, I'll let you accept. But when you are old, you are not allowed to accept concubines. Pan Li'er winked. He said, "Official, why do you refuse His Majesty's order? ”

"Your Majesty said, Song Jiu, Lu Duoxun once recommended you as the secretary of the provincial young eunuch, what do you think?" Song Jiu repeated Zhao Kuangyin's words.

Pan Li'er was silent, Song Jiu didn't want to be an official, but Zhao Kuangyin's tone was uncertain, so it was still not interesting to be an official. After a while, she muttered: "Why is this, there are not too many mediocre officials in the court, you are still a peach blossom under Your Majesty." ”

"If it's not right, it's not right," Song Jiu said. In fact, he still wants to be an official, but his desire for power is not as heavy as Zhao Pu's. But at this time, it's okay to not be appropriate, so you don't have to roll it in.

If you are not in a hurry to be an official, you can't take care of the princess's affairs, but you have to do your own business. Song Jiu made another decision. More than 100,000 soldiers on the front line and the huge number of people who escorted materials, the consumption of grain and grass materials was an astonishing number, and the prices in the capital began to rise, although they did not rise much, but they did rise. So Song Jiu raised the monthly salaries of all servants by a penny.

The officials objected again, but did not convince Song Jiu that without this large-scale war, the country's prices were gradually rising. Seeing Song Jiu's insistence, some of the opposing Yanai suddenly realized, and they were silent with worry in their eyes.

Song Jiu and Hebei are actually fighting with Zhao Pu, who is not afraid of Zhao Pu's counterattack?

A lot of money is not much, and Hezhou can afford to eat. At most, some shops complained, and if Hezhou Industry raised its salary, they also had to raise their salaries somewhat. But it had a far-reaching impact on Hebei, either raising salaries, or watching the servants run to the other side of the river. There is a contract, but there are many people who run, do you have a lawsuit every day for these servants to the Kaifeng County Yaya? Is it to escort people back, do you dare to abuse them? Reproaching the stewards on the other side of the river, one by one they said that I don't know the way, that houses are being built everywhere, and that there is a lack of labor everywhere, can we do without them when they come?

In fact, this is the imperfection of the ancient law, the contract may work for most people, but not for everyone, the original Yanai dug some craftsmen, they did not have a contract? Hebei dug up the craftsmen of the Hezhou glaze workshop, is there no contract? Not only that, but they also built small villas for them.

If there are fewer people, you can pull the skin, but if there are more people, how can you pull it clearly? What's more, whose territory is Kaifeng? It's good not to fall into the well, and they are counting on the county government and the government government to speak for them. So the question is back to the original point, it is not possible to fight a lawsuit, you can only increase the salary, or forcibly send people to guard them to prevent them from escaping, but this is under the feet of the Son of Heaven, and without the cover of Zhao Pu's big hand, if the servants are treated as slaves, what will be the consequences?

But Song Jiu is not the main thing, if Zhao Kuangyin is on the side of Hebei, as long as he says a word, Song Jiu can only obediently send the servants back.

The main thing is still inside the city.

After watching almost the same, seeing that Zhao Kuangyin had not moved, everyone knew it, and Su Xiao then began to move. In recent years, many workshops and shops have been built in Hebei, including nearby villagers and neighboring merchants, but the tax officials dare not move, they are not afraid of these villagers and merchants, but they have moved these villagers and merchants, they will make trouble, they can collect our taxes, why don't you collect taxes on the side? That's not to let go of the industry in the ya, but to make the yamen ugly. This nature is similar to Zhao Pu's timber business, which he brought with many officials. Zhao Pu took the lead. The government didn't dare to ask. So it's better not to levy it.

Almost all industries have lost all kinds of taxes.

Su Xiao began to check the accounts and asked them to make up for them. If you don't agree, the property will be confiscated. Move on the front. Later, it's okay, you say that the family didn't pay taxes, point it out, and the official will take someone to investigate. Forcing the officials to pay taxes and pay back taxes.

Everyone was still looking at the one in the palace.

Zhao Kuangyin continued to remain silent.

There are many officials in the court who are Zhao Pu's people, or people who are close to Zhao Pu, but there are also many officials who are Zhao Pu's political enemies, or ministers who are disgusted with Zhao Pu's dictatorship, and even a few such as Lei Dexiang have been framed by Zhao Pu.

Seeing that Zhao Kuangyin was still silent. The former wants to save but doesn't dare, if these industries fall, the servants have no work to do, homeless, that's another thing, but no, Hezhou is like a huge black hole, a steady stream of Hebei servants are absorbed together, and the treatment is better than before. In other words. The reasons are also not sufficient. can only use the state to crusade against the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the capital must be quiet, and give a few words of advice without saltiness.

The latter finally swarmed up, and the wall fell and everyone pushed it. Find out all the things that have happened in Hebei over the years and write them into impeachment.

But there are more neutrals.

Zhao Kuangyin still didn't report it, but it was enough. As long as Su Xiao is paying taxes, it is enough for many industries in Hebei to drink a pot.

……

"Little livestock!" Zhao Pu scolded. Not to scold Lu Duoxun, but to scold Song Jiu.

Money he likes. But he prefers rights, and he is unwilling to come down, and he also knows that the stall in Hebei is very dazzling, so he told his son and nephew to increase the salary of the servants and look at the profit less. It doesn't matter if you have money or not, even the timber business has been sniped, besides, in Hebei, where there are many industries, but it is not his family's. He valued the loose alliance formed by Hebei more than the profits.

However, at that time, he was sniped by Song Jiu.

At this time, Zhao Pu hadn't thought it through, he didn't think that Song Jiu had only started sniping last year, but had advanced the time, thinking that Song Jiu had the idea in Huizhou.

The reason is very simple, Song Jiu uses his so-called unified domain method to do things, in Zhao Pu's words, it is to do things in an organized and planned manner. There have been no major changes to the river island plan from beginning to end, or the western half has been reduced in size.

Henan must have been used by Song Jiu to make private houses and workshops, and the fact is also true, those temples were repaired, although they attracted tourists, but only the investment did not have a direct return, which did not conform to Zhao Pu's habits, the workshop was built and demolished, would a person who was organized would be so wasteful? There are also two playgrounds that seem to be more than a stretch, one is in demand, and two are so many that on rainy days, both playgrounds are a little deserted.

It's not that Song Jiu did something wrong, or Zhao Pu was wrong, he didn't expect the population of the Song Dynasty to increase so quickly, and now it is deserted, which is somewhat of a problem, but in another twenty years, it will be different immediately. Therefore, it is still a long-term plan, and it is not simply built to deal with Hebei.

Therefore, Zhao Pu thought that it was at that time that Song Jiu began to want to deal with Hebei, suck away tourists, and hurt the interests of Hebei, but he did not have this idea before.

This idea seems to be very beneficial to Song Jiu, after all, Zhao Chengzong had already taken the lead at that time, but Zhao Pu didn't think that Zhao Chengzong had done wrong, what kind of person is Song Jiu, what kind of person is himself, can he fight back against himself with a little cheapness?

Hebei is not afraid of Lu Duoxun, not afraid of Su Xiao, and afraid of Song Jiu. If Song Jiu didn't make a move, where would these servants settle down? It was the time of the Great War in the South again, and it was not good to settle thousands of servants, and the capital was about to make trouble, did Su Xiao dare to bear this consequence?

Song Jiu is still critical.

He persuaded: "Official, forget it, it was also Chengzong who did not do it right first." ”

"What did he do wrong?"

He didn't dare to speak, no matter who slipped down from that high peak, he would not be in a good mood, and Zhao Pu was no exception. But Zhao Pu will not be restrained, he can't do anything about Song Jiu for the time being, people don't even want an official position, he used to think that Song Jiu was Zhao Kuangyi's person, but now he hears a rumor, it doesn't seem to be either, then it's not easy to find a handle, no desire is steel, and Song Jiu is always a small person, he has to deal with Lu Duosun and Su Xiao.

Zhao Pu made a move, and he scored a lot.

Su Xiao didn't directly do anything to the Hebei Yanei industry, but other businessmen wanted to report it, so he had to say sorry to the officials while reporting where to find out, saying sorry on his lips, but he was using a knife in his hand, which was a real investigation.

Zhao Chengzong gathered all the officials together and said: "Everyone, my father has been demoted to the phase, and I am just an idle position, Song Jiu and Lu Duoxun and others have joined forces to deal with Hebei, and I can't protect it, in fact, what they want to deal with Hebei is false, and it is true to deal with our father and son." In order to prevent everyone from suffering greater losses, I withdrew the deed shares, and I don't want those deed shares, you can sell it for some money, and pay the taxes. ”

After saying that, he left very tragically, leaving the rest of the affairs to the steward.

Without Zhao Chengzong's brothers, it seems that Hebei is easier to deal with, but in fact, there is Zhao Pu and an excuse, now Zhao Pu's father, son, brother and nephew have withdrawn together, and Su Xiao will investigate again, which is tantamount to public anger.

It is a mystery how many officials and merchants there were in the Song Dynasty. But now the eighty percent jiedu envoys are doing business, not only doing business, but also using the people and vehicles and ships of the imperial court to escort taxes to bring the goods from their locations to the capital, and even the freight is saved. For this reason, several prohibitions were issued to prohibit officials from engaging in business, but it did not work, so an edict was issued, and the officials' families acquiesced in business, but they had to pay taxes, which still did not work. At this time, the officials went to work very plainly, like Lu Yuqing and others who went to Bashu for only one month, and they went on horseback and lightly. Later, there was a shortage of horses, and the literati were not willing to endure hardships, so they went to work with a large group of family servants and luggage, so they went to Bashu to take a boat. Someone stopped these officials in front of the Three Gorges, and I will take you there, as long as you sit on my boat, and the little official who comes to check the tax comes and says that it is your business, and when you arrive in Bashu, I will immediately give you a few thousand yuan.

So Song Jiu can only be said to be a guide, thinking that it is difficult for officials not to do business, and what will they do if they do not do business, that is, enclosure or scourge. That's why he said to be an example, but he never said that if he sent officials down to investigate strictly, it would cause a big mess.

If Su Xiao continues to investigate, he will face this kind of problem.

Zhao Chengzong's brothers got out neatly, and Lu Duoxun and Su Xiao were dumbfounded.

Song Jiu sighed when he learned about it, Lu Duoxun had a lot of eyes, but he was still inferior to Zhao Pu. He wanted to do good things, wanted the horses to run and the horses didn't eat grass, wanted to deal with Hebei, and didn't want to leave a bad impression in front of Zhao Kuangyin, instead of using the momentum of the lion and the rabbit, he quickly took Hebei, just wanted to hide in the dark to get cheap, but instead put himself in an embarrassing position.

However, Song Jiu didn't expect Zhao Pu to deal with him next, Song Jiu was really desireless? Zhao Pu thought for a long time, shook his head, and then thought for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he thought of a person in Luoyang, the baby's uncle Wang Jixun......
