Chapter 623: Appeased
Zhao Song and Zhao Hu didn't come by themselves, they also brought many cousins, as well as children and relatives of the clan.
Zhao Ming met his cousin, whom he hadn't seen for many years.
Because of the large number of people, the street where his mansion was located was directly blocked.
Zhao Ming rubbed his forehead, he could only let people choose the vacant courtyard in the city, and settle them down first after leasing it with the county government.
Even if he is a county keeper and his relatives come to defect, he can't just set aside a place for people to live in, but he still has to rent it from the county government or the county guard first.
When everything is arranged, the day will pass.
Zhao Ming returned home physically and mentally exhausted, really, even more tired than the deployment of troops during the southern invasion of the Xiongnu.
Zhao Ming sat on the mat in a daze, drank a cup of tea and breathed a sigh of relief, and then got up with his arms to meet his father.
Zhao Song is in good spirits, not at all like an old man who has been driving for five days.
Zhao Ming stood aside indifferently after saluting and asked, "Why did my father bring so many people?" ”
Zhao Song said: "Didn't you and Sanniang argue all day long that there were not enough people?" Even your seventh uncle wanted to use it, so I chose some useful ones from the clan and relatives. ”
He said: "That Xiahou Jun originally said that he was going to recruit talents this year, but since His Majesty went to Yuncheng, he has been quiet, and he doesn't care about Yuzhou at all, and the children who are waiting for the products in his relatives will be delayed." ”
Zhao Ming snorted lightly and asked, "If you have a career in mind, why don't you participate in this year's recruitment exam?" ”
Zhao Song waved his hand indifferently and said: "I don't care why they don't participate, anyway, they are willing to serve Sanniang now, you just say if you want to?" ”
Zhao Ming didn't have to ponder, and said directly: "Yes!" ”
Why not?
He and Zhao Hanzhang are not people who stick to the form, although most of the current employment is selected from the recruitment examination, but they have not given up on other ways to take talents, anyway, Zhao Hanzhang said, they have an attitude, welcome the world's talents to vote.
But they don't want everybody.
Zhao Ming curled the corners of his mouth, with a little coldness, "Father has to tell them, although Sanniang is not a strict person, but she is not a soft-hearted coward, she has always been fair, if she commits a crime, she is a relative, and she will not tolerate it." ”
Zhao Song waved his hand and said, "You don't need to mention it, I have already told them, even your seventh uncle is not merciful, let alone others?" ”
Zhao Song said this, and frowned slightly, "Sanniang said that Luoyang needs your seventh uncle, I haven't been able to figure it out, what does Luoyang need him?" ”
He said: "In the past two years, Chang Ning has found out a lot of the fields that your seventh uncle has hidden, and the taxes to be paid are more and more year by year, and he has scolded Sanniang at home, and he has written to quarrel with her a few times for this, so she is not afraid that the seventh will go to Luoyang to make trouble for her." ”
Zhao Ming said: "She is not afraid of making trouble. "I'm afraid that Zhao Hu won't go.
Zhao Song glared at him, wanting to get some specific information from him, but Zhao Ming just didn't say it, Zhao Song could only say: "This time I will go to Luoyang with him." ”
Zhao Ming said: "Father, what are you doing in Luoyang, the seventh uncle went to Luoyang, the main reason is that Zicheng's father and son are in Luoyang, he went to a reunion, you go, our family is separated." ”
"Is that a family reunion, that is a quarrel," he said, "If I don't watch, can Sanniang appease their father and son?" ”
Zhao Song said: "Originally, your seventh uncle and Sanniang were on the tip of the needle, and there was no intermediary to mediate, they were just afraid that they would make a fuss in Luoyang." ”
Zhao Ming was very calm, "Don't worry, Uncle Seven can't make trouble." ”
Back then, Zhao Hanzhang helped Ling return to his hometown, but Zhao Hu couldn't hold her, let alone now.
Don't look at Zhao Hu jumping up and down now, as soon as he goes up to Zhao Hanzhang, he has to stop fighting.
Zhao Ming really wanted to go to Luoyang to have a look, not for anything else, just for peace of mind.
The situation changed too quickly, he never thought that Zhao Hanzhang would go out for two years and directly become the Duke of Runan County, and his title was even higher than Zhao Zhongyu.
She occupied Luoyang again, Luoyang, that is Luoyang.
Although Luoyang is not very far from Chen County, shorter than the distance from Xiping to Chen County, Zhao Ming does not want him to travel tiringly.
Moreover, there are many homeless people wandering around from Chen County to Luoyang, many of whom are in the grass, specializing in robbing passing merchants, and he doesn't really want Zhao Song to take risks.
So he thought about it, took off the purse around his waist, and handed the copper coin he had been holding to Zhao Song.
Zhao Song took it with a confused face, puzzled, "What do you want to do with the money?" ”
Zhao Song turned his face, only then did he realize that something was wrong, his eyes widened, and he held up the copper coin to see the word "Zhao" on it.
His face changed and said, "Someone wants to frame our Zhao family and Sanniang!" ”
This conclusion, my father doesn't know who he thinks of.
He said with no different face: "This is the new money minted by Sanniang." ”
Zhao Song was stunned.
It took him a long time to find what he was going to say, "This, this...... This is just nonsense, how can she be like this, what will Your Majesty think of us, what will the court think of us, what will the assassins of various places think of us? ”
Zhao Ming comforted him and said, "Father, Xiliang is also minting new money. ”
He said: "Luoyang and Yuzhou are short of money, and now Yuzhou is stable, but this year, the merchants of Yuzhou have come and gone, all relying on Sanniang's tax reduction and exemption, as well as the rarity of the workshop to attract them, just like that, our money is still not enough." ”
"When the king of the East China Sea left Beijing, most of the officials and families of the imperial court took away how much money did they take? There is also a whole treasury in it," Zhao Ming said: "All this money has disappeared, and now that the imperial court has transferred to Yuncheng, the money minted can't make up for this deficit at all, so we can only figure out how to do it ourselves." ”
"Then you should also go to the imperial court, and then mint money after getting your majesty's permission, and the money minted should also refer to the five baht money of the imperial court, how can you decide to mint new money for yourself?" also printed the word 'Zhao' on it, this, do you also have the ambition to do the things of Emperor Wen? ”
Emperor Wen, Sima Zhao also.
There is an idiom that has resounded for more than a thousand years in the future to describe him, Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it.
Cao Chao said, Zhao Song doesn't want to be in a few years, or decades later, someone will spread the next sentence, Zhao Hanzhang's heart, passers-by know.
That would be a shame.
Sima became the emperor, is this a good thing?
If it was twenty years ago, Zhao Song would not be able to distinguish between good and bad, but today, he can clearly say that this is a disaster for the Sima clan and the whole world.
He didn't want the Zhao family to repeat the mistakes of the past.
Zhao Song said calmly: "Father, rest assured, Sanniang is not Emperor Wen, and I am not Sima Zhi, our move is for the stability of Yuzhou and Luoyang." ”
"It's really for stability, in the battle of Kaichun, the Huns retreated, but no one knows when they will commit it again," Zhao Ming said: "It's rare to have peace now, so we must speed up the pace of construction, which requires money." ”
"Because there is no money, many things we want to do have been stranded, or it takes a lot of trouble to achieve, my son thinks that Hanzhang is right, when the war is in chaos, we have to crawl and walk, but now that it is peaceful, we must always walk forward normally, otherwise the war will start again, there is no foundation, we can't even climb."
