Faced with the current serious problems, the new decision-making team is constantly discussing possible solutions to the problems.
They first decided to urgently mobilize Lin'an soldiers and horses and the surrounding strong men, and let the strong men join the army to form a temporary army to deal with the difficulties, strengthen the city walls, widen the moat, accumulate grain, etc.
They must be prepared at any time for the possible arrival of the Ming army to invade Lin'an from the south - the experience of the first Ming and Song wars must be paid attention to.
In case the Ming army wanted to overthrow the Southern Song Dynasty and came directly to kill the Southern Song Dynasty, they would at least resist in Lin'an and ensure not to make the stupid mistake they made in Kaifeng City.
Mobilizing the army is a big deal, and building an army is even more expensive. However, compared with the previous affairs where ministers paid for the emperor to build an army out of their own pockets, this time they are faced with the same emptiness in the treasury, and there are far fewer people willing to spend money. .
Many officials who spent a lot of money last time will be left with nothing this time, perhaps just as a token donation of dozens of dollars.
What's the meaning? What does it mean?
Do you think the Song Dynasty is no longer good?
You feel that the Song Dynasty cannot last long, so you have to start planning for yourself, right?
Or do you think that I won’t be emperor for long, so you don’t intend to obey my orders at all? !
Zhao Hao was so furious that he almost ordered the officials to be tortured and took money from their homes. Of course, Chen Junqing stopped the order in the end.
"Your Majesty, when the country is in crisis, the long-term solution is to work together in the same boat. Your Majesty must not do such a thing, which will frighten the ministers! Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Zhao Hao trusted Chen Junqing, who was willing to die for him, but the anger in his heart could not be contained.
"If I had known today, I should have followed Su Yonglin's example, killed all these corrupt officials, and used all their property to recruit an army. Then I could have recruited an army of two hundred thousand, three hundred thousand or even four hundred thousand, and the number of people would be huge. You can kill the Ming army! Instead of getting angry here at this time!"
Zhao Xin was very angry and painful. He knew what he should do most, but he couldn't do it for various reasons.
He envied Su Yonglin more and more, and felt more and more that Su Yonglin was the real emperor. He asked for everything from his ministers, killed all those who opposed him, and had unprecedented power and concentration. This was the real emperor.
And although he had been the nominal emperor for several years, he never enjoyed the honor that truly belonged to the emperor. There were people who controlled and restrained him in everything he did, and even caused him to fail.
He didn't even know what it was like to be a real emperor.
But now that the situation is about to collapse and the Song Dynasty is about to be destroyed, he can't even get the money to rebuild the army.
In anger, he issued an order to ask the ministers to work together to defeat Shi Jian. He spent money to help the Song Dynasty recruit troops. He also practiced it and used the money to build a palace for Zhao Jie to recruit troops. The palace was not built, and then he persuaded Empress Dowager Wu provided money to support him.
Then he asked the royal family and their relatives to come up with money to save the situation.
As a result, the royal family and relatives were gibbering, and not many people were willing to take out the money. Most of them thought about themselves.
Zhao Min was very angry.
He knew that all of his relatives were very wealthy. For example, the natal family of his concubines took advantage of their royal connections to accept bribes, annex shops, land and property, and did everything. Needless to say, they had a huge wealth. Usually when I go out to drink, eat and visit brothels, I spend a lot of money.
As a result, at this time, you are unwilling to take out the money, and you are still crying about poverty?
If you can’t deal with the civil servants in the imperial examination, why can’t you deal with you bastards?
After all, they are relatives of Zhao Zhen, so punishing them is equivalent to Zhao Zhen handling his own family affairs. The ministers can know about it, but they cannot hinder it, and they often do not want to hinder it.
"I know all the things you do on weekdays, but I just turn a blind eye. Now that the country is in crisis, if you can't work with me to overcome the difficulties together, then what happened in the past It's my fault for indulging you, and I want to make up for the mistakes I made."
Zhao Hao threatened to abolish their royal status and turn them into civilians, which frightened some people who did not shed tears without seeing the coffin and reluctantly took out some money and called it to Zhao Hao as money to buy their lives.
Not bad, the harvest was quite fruitful. Several families paid an average of more than 100,000 guan each, and together they contributed more than 400,000 guan to Zhao Xin, which was enough to support military supplies for a while.
He took out the money himself.
Empress Dowager Wu came out with the money.
The royal family and relatives all took out the money.
The upper echelons of the royal family have set an example. You civil servants and military generals who usually make money are happy and happy. Why don't you take out the money now?
Then I would be really angry.
Zhao Xun's meaning was obvious. The civil and military officials felt chilled by the emperor's behavior, but they still wanted to resist a little at first.
As a result, Zhao Min appointed Yang Wanli to take the opportunity to bring down a corrupt official, ransacked his home and confiscated more than 300,000 yuan of property from his home, which was used for the army.
Under his strong guidance and the obvious threat, the officials reluctantly took out the money.
At last count, the money spit out in this wave was almost enough to provide the Lin'an garrison with military supplies and rewards for half a year.
Even so, the money taken out this time was less than last time.
After one investment fails, how many people will invest the next time?
There won't be many gamblers, and there will always be the majority of timid people.
Unless the market is optimistic and the general environment is improving, there will not be so many people buying down. And now the stock of Da Song is obviously a complete junk stock. It keeps falling, and there is no possibility of rising against the trend. The most experienced Veteran stock traders dare not touch this stock.
At this time, when you buy with money and think about buying the bottom, there is indeed the possibility of being raided in turn.
Isn't this a proper way to be a leek?
The bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty have always been used as sickles to cut leeks, cutting the common people one after another, and their mouths are full of oil.
But no official has ever wanted to be a leek.
They had been leeks once before, buying the stock of Da Song with great force, which pushed the stock price of Da Song to a historical high. However, they found out that this was just a false prosperity.
After a war, they found out who was really awesome and who just looked awesome. Their investment was completely lost, they lost everything, and they had no place to cry.
You were deceived once, and now you want to continue to be a leek and continue to lose blood?
The landlord’s family doesn’t have any food left!
Zhao Yan looked at the amount of donations collected, his brows furrowed, and his heart was extremely angry, but he could not be angry, angry, or condemned.
Because they have really given a lot, although not as much as before, but it is not difficult to use the money to protect Lin'an.
He is also afraid that if he continues to forcefully demand money, these people will really flee Lin'an in large numbers. Then it is really hard to say whether the rule of the Song Dynasty can continue, and whether anyone will recognize him as emperor.
And there is another very crucial point.
The Supreme Emperor Zhao Gou is still in Wenzhou.
If these guys greased their soles and fled to Wenzhou to see Zhao Gou, after complaining, Zhao Gou might be able to establish a separate court in Wenzhou, directly sideline him, and restore him in a minute.
If Zhao Gou is still in the palace, he is not afraid, but what is terrible is that Zhao Gou is in Wenzhou.
Damn it, Zhao Gou didn't expect this day in advance, so he would rather die than return to Lin'an, right?
Zhao Min couldn't help but make some well-founded and malicious speculations about Zhao Gou.
