Until he returned to the palace, Brother Kong Fang was still all in Zhao Xu's mind.
Three to five million dollars!
"My father worked hard and saved the sealing pile library for 19 years...it's only more than 60 million, less than 70 million!"
Zhao Xu recalled the sealed warehouses he and Queen Mother Xiang saw in the palace.
There are thirty-two treasuries in Xining and twenty treasuries in Yuanfeng.
Those sealed warehouses filled with silk, copper coins, gold, silver, and spices.
Real cash, hard currency, is probably only half.
The rest are all in kind, including silk, spices, ivory...
Except for a few items such as ivory, the rest will actually decay, deteriorate, and then depreciate in value.
For example, last year, the Fengzhuang Library sold off a batch of silk and cotton items that had been stored for too long.
This is the Song Dynasty!
A dynasty in which the emperor, civil servants, nobles, military ministers, and relatives all lay down to suck the blood of the common people.
The New Party may not all be reformists, and there are countless speculators among them.
Each horse cost no more than 300 yuan.
I like money well!
It’s better if we all make money together!
Zhao Xu rubbed his hands and became excited.
Therefore, the Song Dynasty did not establish a land system and did not suppress mergers!
Therefore, the Song Dynasty respects private property, and before that bastard Zhao Ji messes around, even if it is forced to demolish, reasonable compensation must be given.
A bureaucratic monopoly economic society.
Last year, after Wang Gui died suddenly, his descendants carried the coffin and returned to their hometown. There were more than ten ships carrying gold, silver, copper, coins and silk.
Whether it is taking advantage of the opportunity to recover arrears from the market, or the Song and Liao trade.
Therefore, the silk and silk damasks in the pile sealing warehouse must be cleared out regularly.
"How can these elders be inferior to Wang Gui?"
"On the contrary, I am very happy!"
They are all trying to clear out and seal these commodities in the warehouse.
As a result, the common people have a very rich sense of private property.
For example, those relatives, nobles, and local households.
The resistance will be even less!
What he is least afraid of is that scholar-bureaucrats, military ministers, and nobles love money.
Among them were a large number of property owners who fought against the new party purely to protect their property.
However, it is a good thing if the official family is happy!
This is also Zhao Xu's consistent operation these days.
As a result, there were countless civil lawsuits over property disputes.
How many should there be in these two families?
so……
Zhao Xu sighed!
Wen Xunniang, who had been standing next to him, heard Zhao Xu sigh and couldn't help but ask: "Everyone, what are you worried about?"
This is!
Wen Yanbo is like this, what about Fu Bi? Where is Han Qi?
This was something that the Song Dynasty had already decided before the founding of the country.
The root of the disaster had been laid even before the Anshi Rebellion.
Therefore, the so-called struggle between the new party and the old party is essentially a struggle around the redistribution of social property and resources.
What does it mean to be extremely wealthy?
He was in a much better situation than the later emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
One million strings, whatever.
With a bit of stud, you should be able to collect three to five million strings.
"That's the case..." Zhao Xu whispered: "Wang Gui, the official, has done almost a million..."
I'm afraid it's just the same as Wen Yanbo.
what does that mean? Zhao Xu, who had studied abroad in modern times, knew it clearly.
Wen Xunniang watched from the side, although she didn't know why the official family suddenly became so happy.
As for the normal market price, a piece of silk cloth is usually 300 yuan, and a piece of gauze is usually more than 600 yuan.
As a result, the entire society focuses on money.
Not all the old parties are conservative.
Therefore, Zhao Xu is actually happy.
Everything has two sides!
While the Song Dynasty desperately squeezed the people, it was also the dynasty that was most closely tied to the scholar-bureaucrats and military officials.
Zhao Xu shook his head: "I'm not worried!"
Now Wen Yanbo's family can afford at least three million coins, gold and silver.
Yu Xun soon arrived at Funing Hall. Under the service of Wen Xunniang, Zhao Xu got off the Xun car.
Then he saw it, and Empress Dowager Xiang came out with Shang Gong Zhang and others.
"Mother!" Zhao Xu stepped forward and saluted: "My son is back."
"Okay!" Queen Mother Xiang chuckled, helped Zhao Xu up, and held his hand: "My son is back, and Queen Mother will feel at ease."
…
"The Emperor is so grateful to the Grand Master's residence... The Grand Master will receive guests again tomorrow..."
In Censor Taichung, whispers are spreading.
Lu Tao sat in his official office a little restlessly, his hair wet with sweat.
"For the current plan, I'm afraid we can only go to the table to ask for information!" Opposite him, the supervisory censor Zhu Guangting sighed: "The chess is just one move away!"
They wrote a letter last month, talking about the Grand Master Wen Yanbo and begging to honor the Imperial Master. In fact, they just wanted to get into trouble.
Touching porcelain is an art.
It was a good encounter, and I felt very happy when I met the Prime Minister and the palace.
The board was raised high and finally fell gently.
It's amazing that after being away for a year or two, you can come back in glory.
Has Wen Yanbo lost his rivals over the years?
impossible!
Therefore, as long as you do it well, you might be able to grab someone's help and rise to great heights from then on.
Even if it doesn't succeed, it's actually not a loss.
It can establish an image of being strong and unyielding, serving the country without fear of the powerful.
After all, they are officials and this is what they eat.
But how did you know that things would turn out like this?
The initial memorial was forgotten once it entered the palace.
Just when they thought there would be no response to this memorial.
But he was stabbed out.
Then, within just one day, the whole city was in uproar.
The whole Bianjing capital knew about it - there was a letter from the imperial censor, requesting that Wen Yanbo, a veteran of the four dynasties and the hero of the decision-making process, should abdicate in favor of others.
Especially Hu Feipan from the Bianjing Newspaper, who was jumping up and down on this matter, fearing that the world would not be in chaos.
Finally, this matter was transformed from a simple matter of government affairs into a widely discussed gossip among the people.
Therefore, the emperor personally visited Wen Mansion and expressed his condolences to the elders.
Things were no longer under control.
After all, the emperor has been married to Wen Mansion.
What does this mean?
The emperor believed that major national affairs could not be separated from the assistance and correction of Pingzhang, the important military and national affairs master.
The emperor is wise and cannot be wrong.
Then, they can only be wrong.
It's normal to get spanked if you do something wrong.
Therefore, smart people should run away now and go outside to avoid the limelight. When the limelight passes, no one will remember this matter.
Lu Tao nodded: "That's all we can do now."
"Fortunately, it's not a total loss."
Wen Yanbo is not a money maker, so it is impossible for everyone to like him.
There will always be people who hate him.
Therefore, they do not lose everything in this matter.
Wen Yanbo is eighty-one years old this year.
How many years can he live?
When he dies, everyone can come back in glory.
Maybe you can even get noticed by some big shots through this matter.
They are still young and can afford to wait.
But Liu Fengshi kept his head down and remained silent.
Lu Tao and Zhu Guangting were very surprised when they met.
"Zhong Feng, why are you so worried?" Zhu Guangting asked.
He and Liu Fengshi are not only good friends, but also confidants.
Zhu Guangting studied under Hu Yuan, a great scholar of the imperial dynasty, and was considered the same sect as Miao Shi, the palace commander, and Fan Chunren, a Hanlin scholar. However, Miao Shi studied military affairs and military affairs, while Fan Chunren studied world management and practical application, while he studied Confucian classics and principles.
This is also the characteristic of Mr. Anding’s scholarship.
Teach students in accordance with their aptitude and teach according to their interests and hobbies.
Liu Fengshi's father was the great scholar Liu Chang, who was friendly with Mr. Anding. When Mr. Anding was there, he often took Zhu Guangting and others on study tours around the world and visited great scholars from all over the world, including Liu Chang.
Therefore, Zhu Guangting and Liu Fengshi had a friendship for more than thirty years.
Liu Fengshi frowned and said, "Did Gong Yan hear about it?"
"Um?"
"The capital has approved the appointment of Prince Shao as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and has ordered Zhongshu Sheren to draft it and submit it to the two palaces..."
"If nothing unexpected happens, this government official may have to be promoted!"
From being a foreign minister in the examination of workers, to being a minister in the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
This is a qualitative leap.
The ancestral system hinders the law. This kind of promotion cannot be promoted by Mokan.
Because, after taking this step, you have reached the threshold of the level to be prepared.
According to the system, the six ministers and ministers will all be given the title of bachelor's degree.
The lowest level is a direct bachelor's degree from Longtuge.
Lu Tao and Zhu Guangting listened and looked at each other.
"Has Wang Zishao's familiarity been drawn up?"
"In writing, giving to people, giving to people..."
"No objection?"
Lu Tao couldn't believe his ears.
As Xing Shu was successfully promoted to Hanlin bachelor's degree, his vacated post of Zhongshu Shiren was concurrently filled by Fan Bailu, the living minister.
Not long ago, following the emperor's edict, Su Che's name was ordered to be recorded in the hall and listed in the hall.
This also declares that Su Zhe will soon be promoted to the scholar of Shushe or the left and right ministers of Jianyuan.
In this case, in the future, all the people in Zhongshu Sheng and Zhongshushe will be old Party scholar-bureaucrats.
Fan Bailu, Peng Ruli, Su Che.
As for the affairs of the Menxia Province, they were already taken care of by the old party as early as last year.
Even though Peng Ruli later rejected the edict because of Zhang Ji's case, thus offending the two palaces, he was changed to Zhongshu Sheren.
But the person who succeeded Peng Ruli was Lin Dan from the old party.
Liu Fengshi sighed leisurely and said: "It was Fan Bailu who wrote the cursive edict to Wang Zishao..."
"Fan Zigong?" Zhu Guangting and Lu Tao exclaimed: "How is it possible?"
Fan Bailu is an old party member with strong roots!
His uncle is Fan Zhen, a famous minister of the country.
His cousin was Fan Zuyu, Duke of Tang Dynasty, who was loved by Sima Guang, Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo.
Would such a person write an edict for foreign production to a notorious New Party cadre like Wang Zishao?
Isn't that ridiculous?
Liu Fengshi smiled miserably: "How is it impossible?"
"Don't forget, Fan Bailu... is the late emperor's confidant!"
Of course, there are many ministers in the old party who regard the late emperors as Yao and Shun, who have gone astray and need guidance.
Fan Bailu is one of them.
He has always been regarded as an imperialist.
At that time, the case of Li Shiju and Zhao Shiju was an ironclad case that Fan Bailu, regardless of obstruction, fought to the end and took huge risks to complete.
It was precisely because of this case that Fan Bailu was in the emperor's heart and trusted by the late emperor.
Nowadays, after officials ascend the throne, they are even more graceful and well-prepared.
First of all, I appointed Fan Bailu as a living minister on the grounds that he is a close minister of the imperial examination and a dear minister to me.
From then on, I waited for you day and night.
After Xing Shu was promoted to Hanlin bachelor, Fan Bailu specially ordered to pay homage to Zhongshu Sheren, but he still served as a living minister and could issue orders at any time.
Liu Fengshi, who had been in the court for many years during the Yuanfeng era, certainly knew Fan Bailu's position.
This is a person whose loyalty to the emperor has entered his mind and is hopeless.
Today's officials are just like the late emperor and have great trust and love for him.
Many times in the palace, he was called by his nickname, and he even said to the ministers: "Liang Bailu is my loyal minister who was left behind by the imperial examination!"
You should take more care of the loyal ministers my father left behind for me!
Even Aiwujiwu issued a special edict last year to present Fan Bailu's late father Fan Kai, the Minister of War, and posthumously named his biological mother Wang the Lord of Huayang County.
With such generous treatment from the officials, Fan Bailu was willing to do anything!
Zhu Guangting and Lu Tao fell silent immediately.
After a long time, Zhu Guangting said: "What does Zhong Feng mean?"
Liu Fengshi nodded.
The officials want to use people, but they want to stop them.
So, is this a little lesson from the officials?
The three of them suddenly shrank their necks in fear.
Lu Tao and Zhu Guangting didn't even dare to ask their subordinates why they didn't refute the matter.
Because, among the current ministers in Menxia Province, although they are all from the old party, there is a person who is closely related to the new party - Lin Dan.
Lin Dan's eldest brother is Lin Xi, a close friend of the ruling Zhang Dun who has gone south.
Lin Xi is a die-hard New Party member.
He has a good relationship with Zhang Dun, Lu Huiqing and others.
Although the two brothers have different political views,... is it uncommon in the Song Dynasty for brothers to have different political views on the surface but wear the same pair of underpants in private?
Liu Fengshi, however, thought further than Lu Tao and Zhu Guangting.
"That case can't be delayed any longer..."
"We can't let Fu Zhongsi continue to investigate!"
Fu Yaoyu was unselfish and unselfish.
If he continues to investigate, it might lead to a major case.
Liu Fengshi has experience in this.
The case of Chen Anmin back then was like this, using the little points to lead to the big ones.
His benefactor Wu Chong gave up his position and died in depression.
He even wandered around for several years before finally waiting for the opportunity to return to the court.
Today, the same is true for the Li Yong case.
Check further, pull out the radish and bring out the mud.
Maybe it might involve the capital.
In the early years of Yuanyou, the situation in which all the people were in power might be affected by this case.
It may even become an excuse for the new party to counterattack - what are you doing?
How many months have you been on stage? Just do something like this!
If you continue to control the government, will the affairs of the world be okay?
Good food and fun-loving!
Go away and let the real ministers assist the emperor!
Thinking of this, Liu Fengshi said to Lu Tao and Zhu Guangting: "Brother Yuanjun, brother Gongyan..."
"Before we leave Beijing, we should settle Li Yong's case first!"
Bianjing Xinbao reported every day that Andun at Yushitai was tortured to extract confessions, and Zhang Ruxian was torturing relevant prisoners in Yousi day and night. The gossip has already caused deaths.
Although this matter is most likely An Dun and others are spreading false news - the places where prisoners are detained are now controlled by the imperial army, making it impossible for needles to penetrate or water to pour through.
Outsiders have no idea what An Dun and Zhang Ruxian are doing inside?
All I know is that they interrogated him day and night and pursued him relentlessly.
Lieutenant Commander Fu Yaoyu pounced on the files and checked them one by one.
Let them continue to investigate like this.
Too dangerous!
Lu Tao and Zhu Guangting listened and nodded slightly.
Indeed, it’s time for Li Yong to stop.
If the investigation continues, everyone will have to be punished, demoted, or even disciplined.
This is something that really only people like them who are forced to leave Beijing can do.
Break the jar and break it.
Big deal, the body can resist thunder!
