"Emperor Daxing is truly the most holy and wise man!"
The Queen Mother became emotional after hearing what was relayed to the Queen Mother.
Regarding the so-called new laws of her deceased eldest son, the Empress Dowager was actually most disgusted with the Market Change Law and the Equal Loss Law.
Because almost all the married women and clan relatives who entered the palace complained to her most about these two new laws.
On the other hand, I have little understanding of other laws such as the Young Crops Law, the Farmland Water Conservancy Law, the Free from Service Law, the Armor-Basing Law, and the Horse-Basing Law, and I just have an instinctive aversion to them.
Now, I learned from the Queen Mother Xiang that the eldest son had actually abolished these evil laws long ago.
Just because I care about my youngest son's youth, I want to leave this grace to the young master.
This makes perfect sense!
It is also in line with the logic of a monarch's handling of his posthumous affairs.
"Brother Six!" The Empress Dowager held Zhao Xu's hand and said, "You must remember the teachings of Emperor Daxing!"
"Evil laws such as the market exchange method and the equal loss method must not appear again in the future!"
"I know!" Zhao Xu nodded seriously: "I will remember the teachings of my mother-in-law and queen mother!"
If Zhao Xu had not studied abroad in modern times, he would probably have partially recovered from laws such as the Market Change Law and the Equalization Law when he grew up.
reason?
No Money!
You can't do anything without money!
This has also been the inevitable choice of emperors since ancient times - to squander money from top to bottom, they will plunder the people, and when the civil upheaval is imminent, they will plunder the merchants.
Merchant is a good thing.
It can be called the piggy bank of emperors of all ages. If you have no money, you can knock it and knock out some oil and water.
Moreover, merchants generally have no way to resist.
However, after ten years of studying abroad in Modern Times, Zhao Xu no longer looked down on the pitiful income of Shiyifa and Junshufa.
He worked hard to knock out the bones and suck out the marrow, but also faced the risk of being cursed by people.
What's more, he wants to offend the entire ruling group, including the literati, nobles and relatives!
The gain outweighs the loss! The gain outweighs the loss!
So, the moment I woke up in Qingning Palace.
He has already given up on the market-changing method, the equal-loss method, and the horse-preserving method.
These methods of making money are too primitive and too low-level, they offend too many people, and their scope of influence is too wide.
The Empress Dowager was immediately extremely satisfied: "Good boy, you will definitely become the emperor of the Song Dynasty in the future!"
Zhao Xu nodded slightly, then looked at the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Xiang, and said, "I would like to express my gratitude to the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager, my son has received the support, protection, love and guidance of the two saints, but there is really no way I can repay him!"
"When my son read the Classic of Filial Piety, he learned that the sage taught: Love and respect must be fulfilled in serving relatives, only then can moral education be imparted to the people. This is the filial piety of the emperor!"
"My son has been thinking about how to repay the teachings and upbringing of the two saints, and how to follow the teachings of the saints..."
"It's just that I'm young and haven't thought of any good ideas. Today, I suddenly had an idea!"
The Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Xiang immediately became interested.
They looked at Zhao Xu who looked like a little adult in front of them with smiles.
The Empress Dowager gently held Zhao Xu's hand and asked, "What is Sixth Brother planning to do?"
Zhao Xu said: "I heard that my mother-in-law and queen mother still have loving mothers alive! However, my mother-in-law and queen mother are respectful to the world and lead by example. They have never gone home to visit the two queens since they entered the palace..."
"My son is not filial, so I would like to select one or two stacking sites from the Bianhe River Embankment Department and offer them to the two wives to pay for a little makeup!"
This is to give the two logistics terminals with the best location and valuable value opened by the Bianhe River Embankment Division to the Xiang family and the Gao family.
The Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Xiang looked at each other, with extremely satisfied looks in their eyes, and they were extremely appreciative of Zhao Xu's filial piety!
How much money can the Bianhe Embankment Department make every year?
The two palaces don’t know much about it, but both palaces know that it is not a small sum!
Because Emperor Daxing relied on the income from the Bianhe River Embankment Division to support the entire Qingbian Division, and he also maintained a dedicated arms manufacturing bureau employing as many as 10,000 people.
Therefore, the most profitable stacking yard of the Bianhe Embankment Department will earn less than 50,000 yuan a year.
Then there is no need to open it, just close down!
Moreover, when the Gao family and the Xiang family got it, they didn't need to bother at all. They could just resell it and rent it to others.
For those who rent, if the annual rent is less than 50,000 yuan, then don't talk about it and get out as soon as possible.
Fifty thousand dollars a year! And it happens every year!
Gao family and Xiang family, from now on, as long as they lie down, they can be rich and have no worries!
only……
Both the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager Xiang want to save face.
They also care very much about public opinion.
So, the Queen Mother first shook her head: "No! No! My mother understands Sixth Brother's filial piety, but let's forget about it!"
Empress Dowager Xiang also said: "Your Majesty is right, the Gao family and the Xiang family have been blessed by the country for generations. The court has already given enough, and Sixth Brother does not need to give any more!"
Zhao Xu shook his head and said seriously: "Mother-in-law, Queen Mother! Listen to what I have to say!"
"The imperial court is the imperial court, and that is the national law!"
"But my son is my son. This is my son's way of showing filial piety to the two queens, and my filial piety to repay my mother-in-law and the queen!"
"The sages have said: Love and respect should be fulfilled by serving relatives! The sages also said: This virtue and teaching is imparted to the people! This is the filial piety of the emperor!"
"Mother and Queen, you can't let your son be an unfilial person or an unfilial king, right?"
In modern times, Zhao Xu would be able to give gifts!
That is to say, he is young now and some things are not suitable for him to say.
Otherwise, he could come up with more reasons and excuses.
The Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Xiang looked at each other and nodded to each other.
However, they could not agree to this immediately.
At least not now.
"This matter is of great importance..." The Empress Dowager said, "Wait for your mother-in-law and your mother to discuss it with the ministers and see what they say..."
Zhao Xu pretended to be unhappy and nodded reluctantly: "Okay!"
In his heart, Zhao Xu knew it.
In fact, both the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Xiang have agreed.
The reason why they are like this is because they are concerned about face and do not want others to gossip.
Next, it’s all about going through the process - are there still such blind ministers now?
The reason why Zhao Xu did this is very simple.
You must first feed your relatives before you can do anything!
Zhao Xu's father, in order to promote the conquest of Xia, had to choose a member of the Gao family to serve as commander, let alone him now?
Zhao Xu knew that what he was going to do next was very important.
Even if it is only one ten thousandth, the risk of being destroyed by people from the Gao family and the Xiang family must be eliminated!
As long as people from the Gao family and Xiang family don't cause harm here.
Then Zhao Xu believes that based on his current relationship and intimacy with the two palaces.
That matter, even if Sima Guang jumped up to object, it would be useless!
…
Returning to Funing Hall, Zhao Xu looked at Song Yongchen, who had been following him all the way.
"Did you hear everything?" Zhao Xu said to Song Yongchen.
"I didn't hear anything!" Song Yongchen replied with his head lowered.
Zhao Xu waved his hand gently, and Feng Jing immediately led him down.
At the same time, he lowered the curtain in the palace and stood in front of the curtain, his eyes wide open.
He knew that the young master must have something to explain to Song Yongchen, and this matter should not be known to anyone.
Sure enough, Feng Jing saw the young master waving to Song Yongchen inside the curtain.
Song Yongchen immediately crawled over on his hands and knees.
…
"Abandoning the Embankment Department is to preserve the Bureau of Ordnance Manufacturing!"
Song Yongchen crawled to the young master on his knees.
Then, he heard the young master's whisper.
He raised his head in surprise, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Do you know that the Bureau specializes in manufacturing weapons?" Song Yongchen asked in a low voice.
"I know everything!" The young master knelt down and looked at him with a pair of bright eyes: "My father's entire life has been devoted to this!"
"The Bianhe Embankment Department was established to cover the Bureau of Ordnance Manufacturing!"
"Now, it's time to sacrifice your life to protect the Bureau of Ordnance Manufacturing!"
"Old minister, I'm scared!" Song Yongchen immediately lay down: "Please teach me!"
Even if we have to sacrifice, we should sacrifice the weapons manufacturing bureau to protect the hen that lays golden eggs, the Bianhe River Embankment Department!
If you have money, you can rebuild the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau at any time.
But if there is no money, what is the use of having a bureau dedicated to manufacturing weapons?
If they can't get paid, the craftsmen will go back to their own homes and find their own mothers.
The young master just looked at him without speaking, with a mysterious smile on his lips.
It seems to be saying: You don’t understand!
Song Yongchen could only lower his head deeply.
At this moment, he felt a familiar feeling.
The young master squatting in front of him overlapped with the deceased Emperor Daxing.
In that small and thin body, there seems to be an emperor who is arbitrary, has great power, and speaks the truth!
After a long, long time, Song Yongchen heard the young master say: "In the future, you will know!"
"Now……"
"Song Yaban, obey my order!"
Song Yongchen quickly bowed his head and bowed again: "Your Majesty, I respectfully listen to your Majesty's will!"
"From today onwards, Song Yaban is in prison and will write down everything Yaban has learned and known in his life, and write it on bamboo and silk and engrave it on engravings!"
"In the future, it will be published all over the world and will be titled "Collected Works of Song Zhaoxuan"!"
The young master spoke softly, but every word he said had magic power, making Song Yongchen tremble.
Engraved on engravings and published all over the world?
Collected Works of Song Zhaoxuan?
I, a minister, can write books and author works like scholar-bureaucrats?
But what I know is only mechanical things, just building cities, dams, diversion and canal construction!
Will anyone read my book?
"Don't worry!"
"This book will be placed in the newly established water conservancy school and engineering school in the future!"
"Maybe Abban will become someone like Lu Ban!"
Song Yongchen was extremely excited when he heard this.
He immediately bowed his head and bowed again: "I obey the imperial edict!"
…
Zhao Xu looked at Song Yongchen's retreating figure.
He nodded slightly.
He can trust Song Yongchen!
This minister, in his previous life, eventually died on the construction site building a mausoleum for him, a young master.
And Zhao Xu, who has studied abroad for ten years in modern times, knows that among all the ministers in the palace, none of them is as important as Song Yongchen!
reason?
Song Yongchen, in addition to being a minister, he is also a recognized engineer, great inventor and great scientist in the modern Song history research community!
He invented the wooden bank of the narrow river.
He also invented the two-stage ship lock.
He even invented the earth-moving machine and the flying earth-moving machine.
It was under his leadership that it took only fourteen months from the establishment of the exploration project to the final completion of the Daoluo Tongbian project.
The actual construction took only two months!
The reconstruction of Bianjing City was originally expected to require at least 7 million man-hours. However, Song Yongchen invented the wheel earth machine and the flying earth machine. In the end, it only took more than 3 million man-hours, saving half of the labor force!
At the same time, he is also very artistic.
It was he who presided over the construction of the new three provinces of the Song Dynasty.
The new Taixue and the new martial arts were also written by him.
For such a talented person, how could Zhao Xu be willing to let him get involved in the turmoil in the outer court, thereby wasting his most golden nine years?
