Chapter 417 We are all good ministers who are loyal to the king and love our family, ask for a monthly pass)
Nanjing, Jinling Imperial City, Chongzheng Hall.
Today, the two saints are coming to the court!
I don’t know when the two saints became the characteristic of the Song Dynasty.
Needless to say, the pseudo-Song who had just collapsed, Queen Wanyan Yan asked Zhao Gou to sit on the dragon bed with her, and she was very polite. She almost came to the court and the government obeyed the orders.
In the Northern Song Dynasty in the north, because Zhao Kai often led troops outside, the queen Zhu Fengying could only be placed in the court to pretend to supervise the country and follow the government. Later, Zhao Kai was very dissatisfied with his wife's ruling methods, so he led her to court without going to the war and taught her how to manage military and national affairs step by step.
In the Jinling court in the south, because Zhao Huan had to go to Jiangdu to take charge from time to time, Zhu Lian also had the opportunity to rule the country from behind. As he listened, he really learned it. However, Zhu Lian was not a "comprehensive development" government expert, but he didn't know why he grew up to be a financial expert.
She has no high opinion of military and political affairs and can only barely deal with it. However, when it comes to managing finances for the country, it should be for the family, her level is very high.
The current pile sealing warehouse can save ten million of money, and it is because this queen can manage the finances.
The Queen's financial management method is actually not complicated. It is to actively invest in the two industries of financial real estate to make money quickly and manage it is not complicated.
The trick to successfully investing in real estate is to hoard land at low prices. As an old Bianliang, Empress Zhu still doesn’t know how high housing prices are? So when she was building the new capital of Jinling, she made arrangements in advance and took out the money from the sealing pile warehouse to invest and develop dozens of streets. These real estates are now growing up. In less than ten years, they have appreciated dozens of times!
It is even simpler to invest in finance. The financial industry of the Song Dynasty was originally very developed. Before the Xuanhe crisis, the center of the Song Dynasty's finance was in Bianliang!
In Kaifeng Prefecture at that time, there were financial institutions such as quality warehouses, inspection warehouses, residence halls, Changsheng warehouses, and social warehouses everywhere. In addition to lending and collecting interest rates, these institutions also operated various financial businesses such as money (remittances), public deposits (bills), and banknotes (securities).
The Empress Zhu Lian’s family also invested in the opening of a quality warehouse! So Zhu Lian is an insider in the Kaifeng Prefecture financial circle and knows very well who should invest the spare money in the sealed pile warehouse to.
As the queen, she certainly would not open a "bank" in person, but she knew that among the empty-handed fugitives, who could open a "bank" well. She used the power she obtained when she was in power behind the curtain to invest the remaining money in the stake warehouse to these "bankists".
Zhu Lian's investment in both financial and real estate has stepped on the storm of the economic boom in the Southern Song Dynasty, and his profits are so generous!
The current industrial and commercial development of the Southern Song Dynasty is much better than the Southern Song Dynasty established by Zhao Gou in history.
And the reason for this is also obvious, it is Zhao Kai!
Due to the emergence of Zhao Kai, the Jin thieves caused much less damage to the Central Plains economy than in history, and at the same time, there were much more northern industrialists and businessmen who moved south to the southeast than in history.
If there are little damage, there will naturally be fewer dead industry and businessmen, and there will be more people who can move to the south.
But why don’t they stay in the north?
Of course, it is because the government system promoted by Zhao Kai was based on the large-scale confiscation of private property!
Although he also tried hard to encourage the development of industry and commerce while confiscating private land, the confiscation of land and the severe punishment of traitors and quasi-traitors in Hebei, Shandong, Beijing and other places still greatly hit industry and commerce because businessmen and literati and literati and land are actually the same type of people, and land is the most popular financing collateral.
While confiscating the land and cracking down on traitors and quasi-traitor landlords, a large number of escapes and bankruptcies by industrial and commercial workers are inevitable.
Of course, military-industry-related industries are definitely exceptions. But overall, in the past decade, Zhao Kai and the Jin Thief have worked together to promote the southward migration of industrial and commercial workers in the north and Central Plains.
In addition, because of the introduction of new firearms and Zhao Huan's special attention to the navy (I want to run!), the benefits from the sea have also become the driving force for the sustainable development of the Southern Song Dynasty's economy. The economic development momentum brought by the migration of northerners to the south is unsustainable, while the development momentum brought by overseas expansion can be sustained!
Finally, Zhao Kai's rise also brought a rare period of peaceful development to the Southern Song Dynasty!
In recent years, Zhao Kai fought with the Jin thieves in the north and was bleeding. Of course, the Southern Song Dynasty fisherman benefited. Not only did he avoid being robbed by the Jin thieves, but he also started a business. Although the Southern Song Dynasty bought a lot of vegetables and horses in the trade with the Northern Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom bought more handicrafts from the Southern Song Dynasty!
But can such good days continue?
Today, when the two saints arrived in the court, the ministers gathered, just to discuss whether they were going to negotiate with the Northern Song Dynasty? How to negotiate?
"The official family, the old minister thought that he could restore the position of General Tiance as the crown prince, and could continue to pay him an annual salary of 6 million yuan. However, General Tiance wanted to gain a better position, even though he was old, he would not hesitate to fight with him!"
The old master of the East Prefecture, Geng Nanzhong Geng, revealed his position at the beginning of the court discussion!
As usual, his identity should not be spoken so early. Because once he says it, it is hard to say what others say.
But today's situation is special. Not only is it a court discussion, but it is also revealing its position to Zhao Huan, the official family!
Right Prime Minister Zhang Bangchang also immediately spoke: "The official family, I also think that you can give General Tiance a crown prince, but this crown prince can never become an official family!"
"Officials, Lao Zhuo also thought that the position of General Tiance as the crown prince could be restored to him. After all, General Tiance expelled the Jin thieves and restored the Central Plains, and worked hard and made great contributions, the court should give him rewards!
But if he has any inappropriate thoughts, I would like to lead the two divisions of the water and land to fight to the death!"
Li Gang, who also had to be an official with his tail on his back, also made his position clear.
His position was rare in Geng Nanzhong, that is, he could only be a government official in the southeast half of the city, but his crown prince would only become the imperial uncle in the future, not the official family.
Then Zhao Mingcheng, who looked sick and lost weight, spoke in a hoarse voice: "Don't worry, as long as the minister has a breath, he will not let General Tiance become the lord of Jinling! Cough cough cough."
Zhao Mingcheng's statement is not very reassuring!
But seeing this guy's appearance is almost out of reach, he has no chance to be Zhao Kuangyin! But after he dies, who will be the Left Privy Councilor?
When Zhao Huan was having a headache about Zhao Mingcheng's successor, the queen Zhu Lian, who was sitting on the dragon bed with him, suddenly spoke: "Since he has been the crown prince for a long time, if he is still alive, how can he not let him become an official?"
As soon as she said this, the court was silent!
Everyone turned their eyes to Zhao Huan sitting beside Zhu Lian. Zhao Huan's face turned pale and asked calmly: "What do you think?"
"Officials, General Tiance must not ascend to the throne! After you live your life, you will be the King of Jinling!"
"The official family, the young talent of King Jinling, and the martial arts are all-round, and it should be the foundation of the true country!"
"The officials and ministers also think that after you have lived your life, you should take King Jinling as your heir."
"Official family, old ministers' proposal"
The ministers below were rarely unanimous, and they all supported King Zhao Chen of Jinling to ascend the throne in the future.
Zhao Chen is 18 years old this year. Not only has he been awarded the title of King Jinling, but he also served as the official position of Yingtian Prefecture. Although he is not the crown prince, everyone in the court knows that he is the heir of the country.
He is now standing with a group of uncles in Chongzheng Hall, and is still full of heroic spirit. He heard that everyone supports him, but he did not show much joy, just looking at his mother, Zhu Lian.
Zhu Lian looked at the group of "loyal ministers" below who supported her son as an official.
Of course she knew the thoughts of these "loyal ministers" that you Zhao brothers competed for the throne, and they were not very big or small!
It’s not big, because it’s not big enough that they have to die for their country!
Because Zhao Kai has a legal basis to become emperor!
The late emperor had a will, and Zhao Huan was willing to make him the crown prince legitimate! So in the future, Zhao Kai entered Jinling City, and everyone would just welcome the new master.
But everyone doesn't like this new master, so he doesn't share the world with the scholars and officials!
So everyone still hopes that King Zhao Chen of Jinling can be the emperor and lead everyone to fight against Zhao Kai. If they can't fight, it's fine.
Oh, it’s all for them to be loyal ministers. At worst, they can go home to support their old age. They are all loyal ministers! They have never been traitors, but they are just loyal to Zhao Huan. Have they committed the death penalty?
And Zhao Chen and Zhu Lian are in trouble. Once they tear their faces apart, can they survive?
Zhao Huan seemed a little hesitant. He also knew that Zhao Kai was very fierce, but he was unwilling to pass the throne to him! So he turned his attention to his brothers.
Most of his brothers are in Jinling, and only Zhao Shu, Zhao Xu and Zhao Qi are out of town.
Among the sect kings in Jinling, the oldest King of Jing Zhao Qi was the leader.
When Zhao Qi saw the elder brother's gaze, he came out and said, "Brother, what are the third brothers? It's not our final decision. When the world was three points, he had never accepted the position of the crown brother, let alone now?"
yes!
Still want him to be the crown prince? He may not be willing to be the crown prince now!
Zhao Huan's face turned pale: "He wants to be an official in the southeast, what should I do?"
What to do?
How about being the late emperor?
The ministers present all thought of a position that was very suitable for Zhao Huan's late emperor!
Zhao Qi sighed: "Brother, you don't know what kind of minister you are. Why not let the twelfth brother come to Jinling and let's ask him in person."
Zhao Huan sighed when he heard this: "Then let the twelfth brother come to the sixth brother. Thank you for your hard work and go to Ezhou to pick him up to Jinling City in person."
