The amount of money minted by Muzhou Shenquan Prison is only in the lower middle of the country.

When it was serious about minting money, it could only produce 100,000 guan a year. And the hometown of the crown princess Zhang Jinping, where the coinage supervisor can produce 300,000 yuan a year.

However, Shenquanjian is extremely important because it is the largest coinage institution in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

As early as more than a decade ago, Cai Jing began to issue currency indiscriminately. The Shenquan Prison, which has an annual output of 100,000 guan, has become an annual output of 300,000 copper coins and 2 million iron coins!

Fang La robbed this place, but the copper mine could not be taken away.

After Song Huizong established a small court in the southeast, the output of Shenquan Jian increased again, and on the basis of "being ten coins", he actually made a kind of "being twenty coins".

In order to protect the Muzhou Mint, Song Huizong personally selected candidates and appointed Zhao Ziyan of the clan as the Taishou of Muzhou.

Zhao Ziyan used to study in Taixue, and even worked as a student of Zhu Ming.

It's just that when Zhao Ziyan entered school, Zhu Ming was busy improving movable type printing, and was soon promoted to Puzhou Zhizhou, and the two did not have any friendship at all.

Zhao Ziyan graduated from Taixue, first became a county governor in Jiaxing, and was soon promoted to a Beijing official, just avoiding Fang La's rebellion. Because he couldn't stand the atmosphere of Tokyo officialdom, Zhao Ziyan applied to be released to Jiaxing because he had many friends there.

"Taishou, Wuzhou (Jinhua) has been besieged by the chaotic people, and Tonglu County has also changed the Mingzi flag, so it is better for Muzhou to make plans early." Han Ju persuaded.

Zhao Ziyan immediately reprimanded: "Why did Zicang say this? The official family trusts you and me, so we let us shepherd Muzhou. Now that the life and death of the official family are unknown, the righteousness must not be lost at this time. ”

Han Ju's tone was filled with resentment: "How can there be any righteousness? Confucianism talks about benevolence and righteousness, but if benevolence does not exist, where will righteousness be? I thought that when he arrived in Hangzhou, he would be able to learn from the pain and work hard, but he didn't expect it to get worse. If I had known this, I shouldn't have agreed to him to be an official! ”

"You are from a close official family, how can you say such disobedient words?" Zhao Ziyan said angrily.

Han Ju had already held back his resentment, and at this time he simply vented it all: "I have read the books of sages since I was a child, and I have the ambition to help the people through the world. But what have you been doing all these years? Write the words of Dasheng to the faint king, and compose music for his new words. Mr. Dongpo is my mentor, isn't he Zhao Ji clear? Because the villain falsely accused the remnants of the Soviet Party, he didn't remember the friendship of the monarch and the minister, and demoted me to the Taoist temple! ”

Zhao Ziyan said: "After the official family crossed to the south, after all, he was re-promoted, and you were made a general judge in Muzhou." ”

"He has no henchmen available, so he remembered me, a former close minister." The more Han Ju spoke, the more angry he became.

"Forget it, I don't want to argue with you anymore." Zhao Ziyan felt very bored.

Han Ju didn't want to talk nonsense, put away his anger, and patiently persuaded: "The Son of Heaven is missing, the dragons are leaderless, and Li Bao has broken through the river defense. The soldiers of the two Huai will cross the river to the south in a few days, how can Taishou stop it when the time comes? Now the southeastern states and counties have either changed their flags or have been captured by the rebels. Taishou is still loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, but have you ever thought about the 100,000 people in Muzhou City? Once the rebels are killed, I don't know how many people will die in the military disaster! ”

Zhao Ziyan actually wants to change his flag, but he is a clan.

His son, in history, even became the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty!

In a tangled mood, Zhao Ziyan said irritably: "Let me think about it again." ”

Han Ju took his leave and withdrew from the Huangtang of the government.

As soon as he went out, several officials surrounded him: "What did Taishou say?" ”

Han Ju said angrily: "Looking ahead, indecisive, he hasn't thought about it yet." ”

The officials looked at each other and decided to tie up Zhao Ziyan.

Han Ju still doesn't know their thoughts? But he had a good relationship with Zhao Ziyan, and he really couldn't bear to do it himself, so he only threw down a sentence and left: "Let's take care of yourself, don't harm his life." ”

The subordinate officials immediately summoned the subordinate officials, and a group of people rushed into the Yellow Hall and found that Zhao Ziyan was not there, so they rushed to the back house of the government and tied up Zhao Ziyan's whole family.

Soon, the city hung the "Ming" flag.

This is the most peaceful way, because they are all vested interests, and they will take the initiative to maintain the old order. At most, he took the opportunity to empty the treasury and divide the spoils, and then nested in the city and waited for the new dynasty to receive it, and he didn't even dare to go to the suburbs to collect the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

The chaos in the eastern part of the two Huai Mountains was mainly due to the fact that the situation was unclear and there were too many people fishing in troubled waters and taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble. Local officials also chose to abandon the city and flee, resulting in a large number of states and counties in a state of anarchy.

Now the situation is very clear, Emperor Zhu will definitely sit in the world, and the southeast region is not so chaotic.

Officials from all over the country are scrambling to take responsibility for maintaining stability, and want a smooth transition between the old and the new.

After Zhao Ziyan's family was placed under house arrest, Han Ju took charge as a general judge and ordered a strict interrogation of those who entered the city to prevent spies from being infiltrated by peasant soldiers.

Although there is no rebellion in the vicinity for the time being, it may not be brewing.

Thinking about it carefully, Han Ju sent a large number of messengers to send official documents to the counties and towns under his jurisdiction, claiming to exempt all previous taxes (arrears) and promising not to collect any miscellaneous taxes this year.

This practice can discourage many peasants from rebelling.

Except for the ambitious, who can survive?

Standing on top of the city tower, looking beyond the Fuchun River and looking at the magnificent scenery of the distant mountains, Han Ju was a little excited.

He is a native of Renshou, Sichuan, and has been personally guided by Su Shi, who even compared him to Chu Guangxi.

This gentleman was not born in the imperial examination, but presented Taoist poems through his father's friend (eunuch), which was appreciated by Song Huizong and directly awarded the official.

This kind of is a typical fortunate person, Song Huizong wanted him to be a great poet, but his ambition was to govern the country.

After participating in the creation of more than 50 pieces of music, Song Huizong finally agreed to let him be a scholar in the middle school. As a result, he was only responsible for writing ordinary edicts, and most of the time he was compiling the history of the country.

Although this is a very noble official position, Han Ju is not satisfied, so he asks to resign.

Song Huizong didn't let him go, and Han Ju inevitably complained. As a result, he was reported by the favorites and impeached for criticizing the Holy Monarch, and he was also a remnant of the Soviet Party, and was thrown by Song Huizong to raise the Taoist temple.

Now that he has made great contributions to the city and maintained local stability, he should be able to be a civil official in the new dynasty, right?

By the way, you have to hurry up and appease the miners in Tongguan Mountain!

……

Outside the city of Mushu.

Song Huizong looked at the big banner with the word "Ming", and stood for a long time, as if he had lost his strength, and sat by the river in a daze.

How did Zhao Ziyan betray the Great Song Dynasty?

Song Huizong had been struggling to escape for days before, and at this moment he finally had a sense of desperation.

He didn't know where to go, he was alone at the moment, and there was not much left to entangle. How to get to Jiangxi to find Quan Bangyan, how to go to Fujian to find Tongguan?

Regret it?

Of course, Song Huizong regretted it, but with his character, even if he did it again, he would still repeat the same mistakes.

Because from beginning to end, he knew what he was wrong, but he just couldn't change his mistakes. Even if he wants to change himself, a group of traitors around him will coerce him to mess around.

Drive all the traitors away?

Don't talk nonsense, who should be used to get rid of traitors? He couldn't trust any of them!

"Da Da Da ......"

In the mountainous area in the northeast, several people galloped on horseback and swept past the vicinity of Song Huizong.

Song Huizong was suddenly overjoyed, because he recognized it, the person at the head was his cronies, and it was the official he sent to raise the Shenquan Prison!

Just as he was about to shout, Song Huizong felt that there was danger again, and he didn't know how to choose for a while.

But I saw these people running across the moat and shouting to the guards who were searching the people: "The miners and charcoal burners in Tongguan Mountain are in chaos, close the city gate quickly!" ”

Song Huizong hurriedly looked back at the mountainous area, why are there people everywhere who are rebelling.

The city gate was already in chaos, and a large number of people crowded into the city, and the guards of the city gate could not stop it at all.

Han Ju personally came over to command, let a small number of people enter the city, and the rest were all stabbed back by random guns, and then urgently closed the city gate and prepared to defend it.

The people living outside the city, seeing that they could not enter the city, and were afraid of being killed by the rebels, fled with floating wealth to help the old and the young.

Song Huizong didn't know where to hide, and when he saw this, he immediately joined the fleeing team, mixed with a group of ordinary people, and hid in Hutou Mountain in the northwest of the state city.

The next day, the rebels came.

There are mainly miners and charcoal burners, as well as mountain people near the Shenquan Prison, and even clay workers and smelters who are responsible for coinage...... Nearly 20,000 people gathered!

The overwhelming rebel army made Han Ju's scalp numb.

Han Ju asked, "What evil things have you done in the Divine Spring Prison?" ”

Shenquan Jian lifted Yue Ziqing with a sad face: "Where did I do evil?" Usually most of them are in the state city, and even the houses are bought in the city, and the Shenquan Supervisor has his own official to take care of it. ”

"Then what are you doing when you leave the state city and go to the mountains?" Han Ju asked.

Yue Ziqing was hesitant to answer, could he still say that he was close to the water and got the moon first, and secretly embezzled a lot of money. But he didn't dare to blatantly transport into the city, so he built a house in the mountains and dug cellars, this time with his relatives to the mountains to withdraw money?

While the two were talking, the rebel army sent an envoy to shout, ordering Taishou to hand over Yue Ziqing immediately, and at the same time provide them with 1,000 stone of grain, so that the rebel army could not come to attack the state city.

Yue Ziqing understood this, and hurriedly said: "Brother Zicang, don't listen to this, even if the thieves get grain and grass, they will definitely continue to besiege the city!" ”

Han Ju said: "If these thieves are not dealt with, not only will the people of Muzhou be unsafe, but I will also have no credit in the new dynasty." In public and private, you have to borrow the king's head for a use. ”

Yue Ziqing was shocked: "Brother Zicang, you and I are both from Dasheng poets, for the sake of the past friendship, please spare my life!" ”

"What friendship do you and I have? I care about the people in the world, but you only know that when you meet the faint king, you don't conspire with each other! Han Ju drew his sword out of the sheath and stabbed Yue Ziqing in the stomach with a sword.

One sword didn't stab him to death, and he made up two more swords.

Han Ju took Yue Ziqing's head and went out of the city alone in a basket to negotiate with the rebel army outside the city.

"You're a state official?" The leader of the rebels was a miner named Cheng Changhe.

Han Ju said: "I am Han Ju of Muzhou, who is too reluctant to belong to the new Ming Dynasty, and I have been tied up yesterday." He raised his head and said, "The Divine Spring Supervisor has been killed by me, and this person is attached to the faint king to oppress the people, and he deserves to be in a different place!" Dare to ask the general's name? ”

Cheng Changhe said with a smile: "You are a bold person, you dare to go out of the city alone." Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you and take advantage of the chaos in the city to attack it? ”

Han Ju pointed to the Mingzi flag at the head of the city and said, "I have dedicated the city to the new dynasty, and made the whole city stable. The general led the army to rise up and killed corrupt officials and corrupt officials. But if you kill me and cause chaos in the whole city, even if the new dynasty does not pursue it, I am afraid that it will not be reused in the future. Why don't you and I rule Muzhou together, keep one side safe, and wait for the new dynasty to send someone to take it over? ”

Cheng Changhe felt that this was reasonable and asked, "How to govern Muzhou together?" ”

Han Ju said: "The general selects some young men and strongmen to be stationed outside the city of Gongweizhou City, and I will supply grain and grass for the general." The rest of the soldiers, let them go back the way they came, plant the land that should be planted, and work what should be done. Let them elect their own officials, and they will not be afraid of being exploited and humiliated in the future. The coinage of the Shenquan Prison can also be given to the soldiers, and they are naturally willing to obey when they gain profits. ”

Cheng Changhe no longer spoke, but carefully considered the pros and cons.

Han Ju continued: "There are also people in Wuzhou who have raised troops, and they may be killed. When the two rebel armies meet, who should be the leader? I'm afraid it's inevitable that the fire will be combined. If the general governs Muzhou with me, he will occupy the land and defend the righteousness, and rely on the state city to be able to repel the Wuzhou soldiers. In this way, the general not only has the reputation of defending Sangzi, but also has made meritorious contributions to the new dynasty of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"You can talk, don't deceive me." Cheng Changhe has been convinced.

The rebellion quickly subsided, Han Ju was in charge of the civil affairs in the city, Cheng Changhe selected Qingzhuang to be stationed outside the city, and the rest of the soldiers returned to Shenquan to receive the reward and disband.

The people of Fuguo, who fled into Hutou Mountain, got the news and went home one after another, and everyone praised Han Ju as a capable and good official.

Song Huizong mixed with these people, and always felt a little incredible.

Han Ju, Zhao Ji is too familiar with him, and he has been a Dasheng lyricist for ten years. The words are well filled, the songs are good, and the edicts are beautifully drafted, but what other abilities can there be?

Dare to go out of the city alone to subdue the thieves, this is too nonsense!
