The historian's evaluation of Gao Yu is actually just four words: the big festival is not a loss.

That is, I didn't do anything that brought disaster to the country and the people, but I didn't do anything less than what was bullshit.

He was thrown to the Western Army to gain military merits, and he never really commanded blindly, and his relationship with military generals was more harmonious than that of many civilian officials. In particular, the promotion of Liu Qi can be regarded as a general who contributed to the Southern Song Dynasty.

He engaged in real estate and opened a company in Tokyo, and although he occupied military camps and served as envoys, he also provided jobs for many forbidden soldiers.

As for making the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army stretched, does this still need Gao Yu to make a move? It's been pulled so long ago that it can't be pulled anymore.

It is not a problem to change Zhu Ming to be a lieutenant, it is a collapse of the system - there are thousands of military attaches who are suspended in Tokyo alone.

Some of these temporary military attaches are official positions awarded by the emperor, some are the descendants of ministers, and some are official positions bought by donations. The military expenses are paid to these thousands of military attachés, even if Gao Yu is not greedy for half a penny, it is not enough to pay the rest of the soldiers.

Gao Yu, as the Yuan slave of Song Huizong, did not mix with Cai Jing, Wang Hao, Liang Shicheng, and Tong Guan, which shows that there is still a little bottom line of being a man.

Moreover, as long as he is kind to him, he will try his best to repay him.

Liu Zhongwu shared his military exploits with Gao Yu, and when Liu Zhongwu was forced to take the blame for Tong Guan, Gao Yu immediately stood up to protect him and carried Liu Zhongwu's two sons all the way.

Su Shi was good to Gao Yu back then, and the descendants of the Three Su were suppressed, Gao Yu always took care of him secretly, and he also asked Su Guo (Su Shi's third son) for an official. This is a mistake in political tendencies, which will make Song Huizong unhappy, and even more so to offend Cai Jing.

Because Su Guo was beaten into the party monument, he was not allowed to be an official by the imperial court.

And Gao Yu actually took Su to see the emperor and persuaded Song Huizong to make an exception and give him an errand to collect taxes. Under Tong Guan's continuous promotion, Su Guo has now been promoted to a state general judgment.

A ...... with a few highlights Rotten people!

In the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, when the apes were shining, they were already considered to be broken copper and iron in the stinking heap.

"Sit lately." Zhu Guoxiang beckoned.

Gao Yu hurriedly got up and stepped forward, his butt carefully sticking to the edge of the chair.

Zhu Guoxiang smiled and said: "During the Dragon Boat Festival that year, I accompanied Zhao Ji to watch the dragon boat, and the dragon boat rowing of the forbidden army sailor was particularly wonderful and lively. ”

Gao Yu said embarrassedly: "He likes to be lively, so he will show him a lively look." ”

"Why don't you call a faint king?" Zhu Ming asked.

Gao Yu explained: "I also scolded one or two times in private, but after all, it is the old master, and it is not easy to talk to others." ”

This matter is true, Gao Yu really thinks that Song Huizong is a faint king.

He is an old minister, and he has always been pressed by a group of "new people". Even if he fled to the southeast, he was excluded and abandoned halfway, how could this make Gao Yu feel no resentment?

At the same time, Gao Yu is a little nostalgic, it doesn't matter if he scolds a few times at home, but he can't pull his face to slander the old master in public, and he is not like Li Bangyan who opens his mouth and closes his mouth to be a faint king.

Zhu Ming asked: "Now that the market is depressed, there are very few people who are willing to buy it, and there is nothing that can be done by the household department and Kaifeng Mansion." Do you have any way to get businessmen to take the initiative to buy and operate? ”

Gao Yu replied: "The businessman buys the pounce, just to make a profit, and if it is unprofitable, naturally no one should pounce." Now the whole city is under military control, and the sale of grain, wine vinegar, and salt is limited, and the control can only be lifted next year. If the merchant is forced to buy it, they will not dare to disobey. ”

"You don't need to tell you to know this truth." Zhu Ming said.

The problem now is that there are not enough supplies, and Tokyo needs to restore the market as soon as possible so that more people in the service industry can find jobs.

Hundreds of thousands of people are waiting to make money to eat!

When the snow melts in spring, it is estimated that it will be slightly better, and the merchants of Jingxi and Lianghuai will definitely actively transport more materials to make money.

But if you want to really return to normal, you have to wait at least until the summer grain harvest.

Gao Yu stubbornly said: "The minister is familiar with Tokyo, if he visits the businessman and lowers the reserve price of the buying, he may be able to persuade a few companies to be willing to buy." At least, he can pounce on Fan Lou. ”

"Fan Lou will be handed over to you to attract investment, and things will be used well for another time." Zhu Guoxiang said.

"The minister must do his best!"

Gao Yu was immediately overjoyed, stood up and knelt down again.

Zhu Guoxiang said: "Sit back." ”

Zhu Ming wanted to take a test: "You are doing a good job in Tokyo, what do you think about the discussion?" ”

If you don't know how to ask anything else, you can do it, and immediately talk eloquently: "Take wine as an example, you can make a qu, you can tax wine, and the official wine must be abolished." Official liquor cannot make the government overcharge the liquor tax, but will only make the officials fill their own pockets. When the two saints founded a new dynasty, they should have sold off many official affairs. ”

The commercial tax in the Song Dynasty was extremely complicated, and there were three types of liquor taxes.

Kaifeng, Luoyang, Shangqiu, the three capitals, inside and outside the city are not charged liquor tax, to buy the flutter with the song method.

That is, if the brewery is contracted to a monopoly (such as the contractor of Fan Lou), the liquor tax is equivalent to the contract fee. The government then sells the koji, and the contractor pays a tax when he buys the koji, and the rest of the liquor operators no longer pay the liquor tax to the government.

The state capitals in various regions adopt an official liquor tax system.

That is, there are state-owned distilleries in both the state and the prefecture, and shops in the city and suburbs must go to the state-owned factories to buy wine. These state-owned distilleries are also responsible for collecting liquor taxes from county towns and towns, and properly act as both referees and athletes.

Fujian, Sichuan and other places are much freer, adopting a tax liquor law and allowing private brewing. The specific control is slightly adjusted according to the regulations of the local government.

Gao Yu said: "The liquor brewed by the official liquor (state-owned distillery) is uneven, and the wine is too little and too little. It is also forced to buy and sell, shoddy, and merchants must buy wine from the government. As a result, illegal liquor was rampant, the inspectors were involved in smuggling, and the officials were fishing for profits, while the official liquor business was often in deficit, and the government was unable to collect a few liquor taxes at all. ”

It's not just about taxes, it's about law and order.

Both the United States and Russia have issued alcohol bans, and alcohol is not banned anyway, but there is a side result: the power of gangsters through smuggling alcohol has expanded rapidly!

The Great Song Dynasty implemented a state-run distillery system in various state capitals, resulting in large gangs in the state capitals, all of which were involved in alcohol smuggling, and also colluded with the inspection system.

Zhu Guoxiang asked about other business matters, and Gao Yu quickly pointed out various tax loopholes, and estimated that he was a habitual offender of tax evasion and evasion in the past.

Zhu Ming winked at his father, and Zhu Guoxiang nodded without a trace.

Zhu Ming asked again: "Do you know anything about the Ghost Fan Tower?" ”

Gao Yu said disdainfully: "It's just a group of rotten rats in the ditch." ”

"You're here to help exterminate those rotten rats." Zhu Ming said.

Gao Yu arched his hand and explained: "Marshal, although the rats are cheap, there are countless them. There are many underground ditches in Tokyo, which run horizontally and vertically in all directions, and it is difficult to remove them even if one or two thousand troops are dispatched. ”

"10,000 soldiers, is it enough?" Zhu Ming asked.

Gao Yu was stunned for a moment, and nodded subconsciously: "More than enough." ”

The Ghost Fan Building, also known as Sanssouci Cave, is also known as the Tokyo Sewer.

It was an underground city that existed since the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, and a large number of illegal criminals hid in it, often running to the surface to abduct children and kidnap women.

Many children have grown up completely underground, and their views have been distorted.

Boys, smart pickpockets, strong thugs, stupid and weak crippled to beg.

Girls, obedient and beautiful, sell to the ground as prostitutes, and those who are disobedient pick up customers underground.

During the siege of Zhu Ming's army, these rotten rats often went out of the hole to grab food, and they also took advantage of the fire to rob on the day of the city.

Now the whole city is under food control, and it is necessary to buy grain with a household registration, and the rotten rats have been made difficult to survive, and public security cases have occurred frequently in recent times.

Zhao Ding couldn't bear the pressure, and he couldn't spare the manpower to take care of it, so he could only ask Zhu Ming to send troops to clean it up.

Zhu Ming sent hundreds of soldiers in first, and found that it was too big, twisting and turning like a labyrinth. Moreover, those rotten rats are ventilated and can always be transferred at critical times.

Zhu Ming said: "You used to be a lieutenant, in charge of the Tokyo Forbidden Army. Those forbidden troops are mixed, and they must have dealings with the ground clubs, and they also have a relationship with the rotten rats underground. By making use of these forbidden troops, the responsibility for crimes in the past can not be investigated, and now meritorious service can also be rewarded, and the more underground dens that are offered, the better. You don't have to meddle in the specific clearance, I will send troops down. 10,000 soldiers will not work, then 20,000 soldiers! ”

Gao Yu muttered: "20,000 elite soldiers, not to mention humanoid rats, even real rats can kill them all." ”

"I will not only clear the underground, but also the ground," Zhu Ming instructed, "Your task is to let the old Song Dynasty forbidden army confess and identify the dens on the ground." Kaifeng Mansion will also cooperate, and the chief of the armor will lead the neighbors to control layer by layer, so that those bastards have no way to go to the sky and no way to go to the ground! ”

For more than 160 years, the Northern Song Dynasty has cleared countless sewers, often sending hundreds of troops but there is nothing they can do about the underground world.

To clean up the worry-free hole, it is not good to care about the top, not to care about the bottom, and it is difficult to work if the top and bottom are managed together.

It needs tens of thousands of elite soldiers to sweep the sewers, people in the know need to confess to the ground dens, and street offices need to carry out joint prevention and control of the people.

A three-pronged approach can make contributions.

Gao Yu received the errand and immediately rushed home and summoned his former subordinates.

Those forbidden soldiers have been dismissed, and now they are unemployed vagrants, looking for their own livelihood to live.

However, Gao Yu's condition is that meritorious service can receive reward money, and meritorious service can also be incorporated into the Five Cities Terracotta Division.

They were all elated when they heard it, and they each ran to inquire about the news, and soon the whole city knew about it. This actually doesn't matter, the news is definitely going to be leaked, because the battle that Zhu Ming wants to make is too big.

The Five Cities Terracotta Division is being formed, and Jiang Yong, who was born in Daming Village, serves as the commander of the Terracotta Division.

1,000 Sichuan soldiers were transferred in as the backbone of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and another 1,500 Tokyo locals were recruited as soldiers—all outsiders were not good and were not familiar with the situation inside and outside the city.

After they were formed, the first thing they did was to check the community gangs inside and outside the city, and Gao Yu took his old subordinates to identify the community dens in various places.

Kaifeng Prefecture also issued notices to encourage the public to report suspicious people.

At the same time, it was also announced that those who did not have a murder in their hands could be exempted from punishment if they turned themselves in to the government. If it is a meritorious service, those who have no homicide can be rewarded, and those who have murder can be given a lighter punishment.

For several days, chickens and dogs jumped inside and outside the city, and gang members were arrested everywhere.

Let the rats have nowhere to hide on the ground, and then force them underground and then the army will clear them!
