Chapter 237

The legend of the Chixiao Sword is very mysterious, but Lin Tian did not take it as a story, but attached great importance to it, believing that the legend of the Chixiao Sword was not groundless.

Lin Tianxindao had the courage and strength to infiltrate the territory of the Great Song Dynasty in the Japanese country, commit a bloody case, and escape without leaving a trace, I am afraid that only the Emperor Baihe and the top samurai families such as the Taira clan and the Genji clan are the only ones.

Then the Chixiao Sword must have fallen into their hands! A cold light flashed in Lin Tian's eyes, and he told the dragon slaying of the Wa Kingdom to the punishment and forgiveness.

Torture was shocked and couldn't believe it after hearing this! But after taking a closer look, it was like falling into nine hells, and the scheming of this widow was really gloomy and terrifying! His face turned pale and he shuddered, "This ...... This, is Lord Lin going to report to the official family? ”

Lin Tian was stunned when he heard this, he really didn't expect it, but when he came back to his senses, he also felt that the situation was serious, and nodded: "Not bad!" It's to tell the official! But......" He frowned, thought for a while, reached out and patted Xing Shu's shoulder, and said, "But this matter should not be leaked to more people, do you understand, eh?" ”

Every time Lin Tian patted him on the shoulder, he felt his heart tremble, his words were like a warning, and he secretly wondered what the purpose of the Lin Sect Master's words was.

"In addition......" Lin Tian continued: "There is no need to report this matter, Lin will go by himself." Lin has other important matters entrusted to the criminal adult! ”

Xing Shu immediately said: "It is an honor for the lower officials to be able to do things for Lord Lin, Lord Lin, please command!" "Not only because of the jealousy of Lin Tian's ruthless methods, but also because now above the court, the most trusted by the official family is undoubtedly this Lord Qincha, how can he not seize the opportunity to perform well?

Lin Tian saw the appearance of torture, and a trace of disgust arose in his heart, but in an instant, he thought: I am not the emperor on the throne, nor are I those small people who are slaughtered by others, what is he doing, what does he do to me? Furthermore, if the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were upright, honest and honest, it may not be a good thing for the emperor, the people, and me.

He nodded and said, "You sent someone to send this Prince Linghe to the Wa Kingdom, hehe, let's send a gift to His Majesty the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom first!" ”

The torturer laughed and answered.

In fact, there is no need to really send Prince Linghe to the Wa Kingdom, because there must be Wa strongholds in the coastal areas, and he only needs to send them to these strongholds. As the secretary of the criminal department, the criminal forgiveness has the responsibility of arresting thieves in the world, and the secret camps of these strongholds have naturally found out one or two.

Lin Tian thought about it for a while, and felt that there was nothing to do, so he wanted to leave, and when he arrived at the prison door, he suddenly smiled, turned around and said, "By the way, well, yes, you still have some people with good means here!" Lin was surprised! He pointed to the ground with his hand, and before he could turn his senses, he was already laughing and walking away.

Xing Shu frowned and thought about what Lin Tian meant when he left, but the prison warden exclaimed when he heard the words, looking at the back of Lin Tian leaving, as if he had seen a ghost!

Torture soon figured it out: the ninth floor of the dungeon! God, how would he know?

After Lin Tian and Qiao Feng got out of the dungeon of the Criminal Department. Lin Tian made an excuse and flickered Qiao Feng to split the rudder, and he was alone, flowing into the crowd of people coming and going on the street, and casually found a tea shop along the street, and walked in.

He asked for a pot of tea and some dried fruits and the like in the tea shop, and one person was about to get up, and the people who entered the teahouse to drink tea were groups of idlers, and he had a table for each person, which was particularly abrupt. Fortunately, he sat in the corner, except for the beginning, which was eye-catching, and then he was not cared about.

Lin Tian silently listened to the speeches of the tea guests, and found that what they were talking about at this time was not the hundred officials of Yangzhou near Kaifeng, who would be interrogated by the three halls, or a tragic killing outside the city gate! Everyone looked frightened when they mentioned Lin Tian. But in the same way, it is a pleasure to kill! Obviously, the beggar gang has already spread the hateful rumors of the Japanese people, and the Japanese actually hijacked the people and threatened the imperial court, which further confirmed the despicable and hateful of the Japanese people!

After Lin Tian drank some tea, he got up and left silently, he entered some teahouses and restaurants, listened to some discussions, and couldn't help but feel comfortable, and said in his heart: People's hearts are available!

At that moment, I casually entered an inn and asked for a room, so I went in and closed the door, secretly thinking about what to do in the future!

Prince Linghe is the favorite son of Emperor Baihe, this time he abolished his son, he has offended the Japanese kingdom thoroughly, he as an individual, cultivated to be strong, naturally not afraid, but if the Japanese are angry, the ronin slaughters the coastal people to vent their anger, what should be done? This kind of thing can really be done with the temperament of the Japanese people! If this is the case, Lin Tian is also lacking in skills, and he is helpless!

Thinking of this, he had already decided that when he saw Zhao Ji at night, he must make it clear to him that the government and military camps along the coastal roads must be prepared!

And today is the twenty-fifth day of the first month, and the time for the second dragon to raise his head at the beginning of February and invite martial arts people to gather in Gusu Taihu Lake is approaching! He has the Murong family's Huanshi Water Pavilion in his hands, and the Wang family's Langhuan blessed land as capital, and he can definitely attract a large number of martial artists to sell his life if he gets some third-rate and second-rate martial arts, not to mention that he still has some first-class martial arts?

The characters in the rivers and lakes are unruly, and it is even more difficult to make them obey their own lives, but if you just want to drive them, you can play some tricks.

And his method is to tempt people with martial arts cheats, he knows that few people in the martial arts can withstand such temptation!

Under the hunt and killing of an absolute number of Jianghu warriors, the Japanese people along the coast will either obey or can only bring about their own destruction!

Thinking of this, the corners of Lin Tian's mouth twitched, there is still a Haisha gang along the coast, and their torture hall master and deputy gang leader are still locked up in Gusu's prison! This gang controls seventy or eighty percent of the private salt along the coast, and it would be a pity to wipe him out, a huge benefit......

He seemed to see countless silver taels of white flowers in front of him, and said in his heart: China has always been an official salt and iron business, and this industry cannot be put on the table, but then he thought that since the imperial court operates some huge profits such as salt, iron and tea, how can it be unable to make ends meet and be financially tight?

You must know that according to Qiao Feng, the imperial court only collects about ten yuan a pound of salt from salt households, and when it is sold, it will range from 45 to 60 wen in the prosperous coastal areas of the south of the Yangtze River, and in the inland areas with less salt, it is even more expensive than 100 wen! Where did all the shocking profits go?

Su Shi wrote the third poem "Five Uniques of Mountain Villages", describing the life of the people, "The old man is seventy from his waist, and he is ashamed of the sweetness of spring mountain bamboo shoots." Is it to smell the rhyme and forget the taste, and eat without salt in March. It can be seen that the price of salt was high at that time, and ordinary people were already under pressure, and a considerable number of poor people had forgotten the taste of salt.

Although this is Su Shi's poem criticizing Wang Anshi's new law, and in the Wutai poetry case, it was also used as evidence for framing, but to be honest, this salt price is still the salt price after Wang Anshi's change of law, and the salt price was even more scary before! The people's lives are under great pressure, and the social contradictions are also great, otherwise Zhao Ji would not have been promoted to Wang Anshi as soon as he took the position.

During the Taizu period of the Song Dynasty (970 years), Muzhou rice was twenty wen per bucket, and there was an ancient well in the local pottery fence that recorded this event.

In the third year of Xianping (February 1000), in Hangzhou, which was in the year of famine, the price of rice was 65 Wen per bucket, "the price of rice there, 65 Wen enough." In September of the first year of Dazhong Xiangfu (1008), a bumper harvest, two Zhejiang rice buckets seven to eight wen. The price of rice in the first month of the sixth year is: 60 wen per bucket.

In May of the fifth year of Xining (1072), on the eve of the change, the Japanese monk Chengxun used 400 yuan to buy five buckets of rice in Yuezhou, "with 400 yuan, buy five buckets of rice", the price of rice has risen to 80 yuan per bucket.

After Wang Anshi's reform, the price of rice dropped to about 50 yuan, although it was still very high, it had been reduced in comparison. After Wang Anshi resigned, the price of rice rose all the way to about 70 Wen! This is still the result of Cai Qu's efforts to curb the price of rice in order to keep the results of the law change!

The price of rice in the market has risen, because the amount of rice circulating in the market has decreased, but it is not because of natural disasters that have led to a decrease in production, but because of man-made disasters: the Song Dynasty did not prohibit land annexation, which led to the gradual concentration of land in the hands of large landlords, and the grain was naturally gradually hoarded in the hands of large landlords, who hoarded and raised the price of rice to seek huge profits!

Wang Anshi's change of law because of careless use of people, although there was a matter of exploiting the people's interests, but it is undeniable that he still won the hearts of the people, because compared with before, life is still better, which is why on the one hand, Shilin (especially in the northern Shilin) belittled Wang Anshi for changing the law and forgetting his ancestors and competing with the people, while the people still respect Wang Anshi as the old minister, and the royal Zhao Ji still respects Wang Anshi.

Lin Tian once read the novels of the Song Dynasty's history, so he knows these data very well, and after arriving in this era, under some feelings, it is basically true, but what he knows more is that in history, in 1085, Zhao Xu died, and Zhao Xu took the throne, and the Empress Dowager Gao listened to the government, and the reform faction was completely defeated, and the conservative faction came to power. The price of rice rose all the way to 90 Wen, and after Zhao Xu came into power, although he intended to change the law for a short time, he somehow died of illness in Kaifeng after only seven years. After Zhao Xu died of illness, the price of rice broke through the Baiwen mark all the way.

There was the Song Dynasty, during the Northern Song Dynasty, there were many young short-lived emperors, Lin Tian was puzzled before, only the Zhao family Tianfu was not enough, until he traveled to this era, and after learning about the struggle between the royal family and Han and Lu, he understood that these emperors who wanted to do something on the dragon chair violated the interests of Han and Lu, and after the struggle that was not recorded by history failed, they could only die silently.

In modern history, wasn't the United States, the world's most powerful country, assassinated because its president was close to the people and did something that harmed the interests of the big capitalists?

The benefits are insane. After Zhao Xu, it was Song Huizong who invented the thin gold body, this emperor can do anything, and later generations evaluated it as "everything can", but there is still the second half of the sentence, that is, "You can't be the king alone!" ”

During the reign of Huizong, the price of rice exceeded 120 Wen, the Jin soldiers invaded the south, and after the imperial court moved south, the price of rice was even more favorable all the way.

When Emperor Gaozong asked, "I heard that new rice was bought last night, is there a price reduction?" Zhang Shou replied: "Someone came from the west of Zhejiang, and the previous one thousand and two hundred per bucket was reduced to six hundred. Song Gaozong was overjoyed and said: "Not only is there no shortage of food for the army, but from now on they can avoid starvation." How can you make up for it in the small people? It should be timely and widely prepared for the years. "Every 600 wen made the emperor overjoyed.
