Funing Palace,
"Your Majesty, we have just received news that all the principal prisoners involved in reselling relief food have been beheaded. The remaining accomplices have also been exiled to the northwest in batches, and the female relatives have also been admitted to the Jiaofang Department."
After receiving the news from below, Wang Huaien immediately came to report to Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun nodded after hearing this:
"Yes, Not Bad."
Then he asked: "How are the victims doing?"
Wang Huaien immediately said: "Your Majesty, with the support of food, all the millions of refugees who came to Bianjing have been resettled.
Except for those who really have no ability to work and have been collected by the almshouse set up by your majesty, you have ordered your slaves to set up. Others have been arranged to work. Now, from the surroundings of Bianjing to all the cities in the northeast and northwest directions, a large construction site has been formed. .
The common people also participated voluntarily and did not just receive relief food. "
Zhao Jun nodded with satisfaction, and then sighed with emotion: "The people of the Song Dynasty have always been like this. As long as they are given a chance to eat with their own hands, they are willing to use their own hands to gain a future for themselves!"
"Your Majesty said so!"
Wang Huaien immediately echoed, and Zhao Jun glanced at him.
But then Zhao Jun said again: "Wang Banban."
"The slave is here!"
Wang Huaien responded immediately.
"Send a message to Yunzhou County, telling them that they can trade with the northern counties bounded by Bianjing, Guanzhong, and Hedong counties.
The invasion of the Huns brought too much harm to the north. Local merchants in the north also suffered heavy losses and could no longer bear the responsibility of re-mobilizing the north's economy.
And if there is no business, it will be very slow for the north to restore its previous prosperity. I don't have the time to wait, and the people can't wait too long.
In the past, it was for the sake of self-protection that our merchants from Yunzhou County were not allowed to enter the customs. This time we can only rely on them.
But Wang Banban, remember, no matter which family they are, tell them something when they enter the customs! "
"Please give me your Majesty's instructions!"
Wang Huaien said quickly.
Zhao Jun raised his head, stared in the direction of the door and said slowly:
“Put integrity first and conscience as the bottom line.”
After saying that, Zhao Jun said again: "This is not outside the customs, nor is it a poisonous body, nor is it the foreigners on the grassland.
I don't care how they cheat any foreigners in those places, as long as they don't go too far.
But inside the customs, if they still use the same tactics as outside the customs, don’t blame me for not predicting what I said!
When the time comes, you won’t be able to blame others if you lose your life! "
Zhao Jun's last words were filled with such chilling energy that even Wang Huai'en couldn't help but shiver.
"No! I will definitely tell them the emperor's teachings, but..."
Wang Huaien hurriedly agreed, but after talking about it, his expression showed hesitation.
Zhao Jun saw his hesitation and asked, "What's wrong? Say what you have to say, don't make any rounds!"
Wang Huaien scratched the back of his head and then asked: "Your Majesty, what I want to ask is why Bianjing Guanzhong and Hedong are used as the boundary? They are only allowed to do business in this area?"
Zhao Jun sighed after hearing this, and then said: "Because I can already control these five counties. Further south, those counties now belong to the imperial court in name, but the real situation is that they seem to be different, especially in the southeast. There are rebellious refugees in every county. Originally, the emperor sent the imperial army to deal with the rebellious refugees.
As a result, something happened in the capital, and the imperial army had no choice but to come back first. This also caused the rebellious refugees who had just been suppressed to revive.
I have received news in the past few days that there are wealthy families behind these rebellious refugees. They are taking advantage of this chaos to reshuffle and form their own army. If those businessmen pass now, I cannot guarantee their safety. "
"hiss!"
Hearing the emperor's explanation, Wang Huaien couldn't help but gasped in shock. The south was already in such chaos?
Wang Huaien quickly asked: "Then why don't you send troops to suppress it, Your Majesty, but let the chaos continue in the south? What if those aristocratic families really take advantage of this chaos to cultivate their own army?"
Wouldn't there then be another war to unify the world? "
In response, Zhao Jun just smiled without explaining much.
But no one knows, how could Zhao Jun be unprepared? Since they can fish in troubled waters to support their forces, why can't he?
Let’s see who has a deeper foundation and who can give more support.
Zhao Jun couldn't wait to see when the forces supported by the aristocratic families were defeated one by one by the forces that suddenly appeared. When they followed their past habits and prepared to take refuge in this force, they found that it was actually the force they supported. What a "surprise" it would be!
Seeing that he didn't get an answer from the emperor, but looking at the emperor's look, it seemed that he was already prepared, so Wang Huaien wisely stopped talking and stopped asking.
Then he hurriedly started to help his prince polish the ink, write the message back, and stamp his original royal seal and the current imperial seal.
Wang Huaien then sent the news back.
…
Yunzhou County.
Feiyun Commercial Bank Headquarters.
"Bah!"
After a high-pitched eagle cry, a majestic sea turtle circled in the sky for a few times, then rushed down with a whistle from below, and then landed directly on the arm of the whistler's falconer. .
After removing the bamboo tube from the eagle's feet, the falcon trainer did not dare to neglect. After ordering someone to feed the seaweed with beef sticks, he quickly walked to the office of the head shop manager at the headquarters with the bamboo tube containing the letter.
Soon we arrived at the door of the office.
Benedict! Benedict!
"Big shopkeeper, there's a letter from Bian Jing!"
"Come in!"
A man's lazy voice came from behind the door.
The falconer hurriedly walked in. As soon as he entered the door, he was shocked to see a middle-aged man wearing a purple robe with a heroic face sitting on his desk and looking through the account books.
Hearing the noise, he looked up and saw the falconer coming in, so he asked casually: "Is this the news from the Bianjing secret guards?"
The falconer immediately shook his head: "That Hai Dongqing is the exclusive number one for Wang Huai'en. It should be that the prince has sent back some news!"
As soon as he heard the news from his own prince, Yun Li stood up with such force that the chair he was sitting on was overturned with a bang. However, Yun Li turned a blind eye to this and walked a few steps quickly. , came to the falconer from behind the desk, took the bamboo tube, poured out the letter inside, and started reading.
After a long time, Yun Li's face showed a touch of joy, and he laughed and said: "I was scared to death. I originally thought something happened to the prince, but it turned out to be a good thing!"
Then he turned to the falconer and nodded: "Okay, you can go back."
The falconer nodded in agreement and turned to leave immediately.
Yun Li's voice suddenly sounded from behind: "By the way, the prince has ascended the throne now, and will be your majesty from now on.
But it’s better to call him Huang Ye. "
The falconer was stunned for a moment, then turned around, bowed and saluted: "I understand!"
Then he turned around and left.
After he left, Yun Li immediately pulled a rope on his right side, and soon a clerk with a mustache came in.
After the salute, before he could speak, Yun Li took the lead and gave the order: "Go and send a message to the other five shopkeepers. We will gather in the conference room on the second floor in an hour. We have orders from the Emperor!"
"promise!"
The clerk nodded quickly and went out to inform other shopkeepers.
And Yunli also started to prepare.
