Chapter 770 The Severe Punishment

"More than two thousand years ago, in order to resolve internal disputes and get rid of natural disasters, King Pan Geng of Shang decided to move his capital to Yin. Therefore, there is a saying in "Shangshu. Pan Geng" that there is something wrong with bad luck and disrespectful, and I met a traitor for a while, so I wiped out it and had no leftovers. ┞┡┟To read the book┠╬┟┣╣╠w,w^w`.`1,k^a=n,s·h-u"

Because there were some military generals here, Wang Ju was afraid that they would not understand, so he explained: "During the moving capital, Pan Geng faced opposing, rebellious, deceitful, traitorous, and rioterous, and those who committed rebellion, the minor ones cut off their noses, and those who were serious would be sentenced to death and exterminate their entire family. The obedient good people would be in Yongjiannai's family in Xindu."

"It can be imagined that the controversy and trouble caused by that capital was more than that of the Northern Wei Dynasty's capital Luoyang. But in the end, Pan Geng moved the capital successfully, and thus the Shang Dynasty revived and Pan Geng became a famous king. Reform will indeed cause pain."

"In fact, I have always been very careful, just like Mr. Jiefu asked me to preside over the Regulation Department. Because I keenly realized that there are still many disadvantages in the reform, I refused. Until now, the Bank Department, compared with the cruelty of Pan Geng's movement of the capital, what is the Bank Department? Is it levied? If there is no levied, I will lend you if you are willing to lend you, and if you have any assets, you will deposit it if you want to deposit it."

"Is the interest rate high? Compared to Feng Ji, a troublemaker's inexplicable interest, a year is only about one cent of profit, can it be considered high?"

"And I am also worried that because it is an imperial property, the relevant officials are inaction, dull, greedy, and illegal, so I deliberately let 20% of the contract stocks be released, and individuals are allowed to join, and they will send economic personnel in charge to participate in the management and supervise it."

"Or, is it necessary to compete with the people for profit, to increase taxes or what? No, on the contrary, because of its appearance, the court can greatly reduce and exempt relevant taxes from the people. Of course, if you nitpick anything, you can always find the shortcomings. But you can't really look at things nitpickly, right? Compared with its advantages, there are some shortcomings. So what if the rich man opposed it. Do you object to the interests of these usury loans? Or in the future, the court will encourage these merchants to lend more usury loans?"

Faced with this cruel reality, what can Fu Bi say?

He lay on the soft chair, tears flowing in his eyes.

Zhao Xu walked down, wiped Fu Bi's tears with a handkerchief, and sighed: "Last night, Li Qing brought these people to Duo Hall. After seeing it, I am really sad. However, you have been vilifying Prince An, but what did Prince An say yesterday?"

"Although you are conservative and oppose reforms. ⊥?≤≉≠v≡read books≮≮v≮w┼w╳w╬·1┼k╳a╬n╬s┼h╬u╋·c·c opposes the Banking Department, but he was always the prime minister and minister of the three dynasties of the Song Dynasty. Especially during the Renzong period, the Liao Kingdom came to our court to blackmail. You went to negotiate in a simple and simple manner. In that negotiation, you also performed reasonably and concisely. Also, Feng Qing and Wang Zi'an also commented on you, saying that you performed very well in the past few years on Guangnan West Road, and Zhang Qing has always been known for being honest and loving the people. It was just that you were bewitched and deceived by some restless people. So you came to Beijing rashly."

Fu Bi, I don’t blame you.

But this makes sense. Don’t blame Fu Bi, Feng Shenji, or Zhang Wen.

But there are still people, Sima Guang, Liu Ji, and Cheng Hao.

Who is the restless person the most deadly?

An Tao was stunned.

Zhao Xu looked at Wang Ju again and said, "It's getting late, and it's already past the third hour. Wang Qing, what do you think about this matter?"

"Your Majesty, I ask another person." Wang Ju walked up to An Tao and asked, "Mr. An, who approved you to come to the capital?"

Fu Bi and his men retired. It would be fine if they ran around, but An Tao did not retire, could they run around?

An Tao had no strength to speak at this time and said, "Prince An. I am willing to accept the punishment from the court."

"How to punish? The rich man's reputation has been clear throughout his life, but he was ruined by your selfishness. And bringing these unruly people to the capital is disgusting Your Majesty, or do you think Your Majesty is Hu Hai. You can just point a deer as a horse?"

In fact, An Tao was demoted to Shanzhou this time and his hatred for Wang Ju even stronger.

Then, a group of merchants came over and welcomed him something, and then persuaded An Tao. Of course, An Tao and these merchants could not cause trouble, but Shanzhou is close to Luoyang, and Wen Yanbo took action and Wen Yanbo was demoted. What would they think as Wen Yanbo's comrades?

If it was Wen Yanbo, these merchants could not persuade them, but An Tao's cunning with Wen Yanbo was on the fire again and was immediately moved. If you want to read the book w╬w┼w╋·1┼k╬a╬n┼s┼h╋u╳·c╋·c

Okay, if the truth is revealed together, the incident will be very clear.

Don’t think that loan sharks are too much. There are really many people who lend money to loan sharks in the Song Dynasty.

As for the Qi Shang Taxation, many people hate Wang Ju himself...

That is, after the Banking Department is launched, the opposition will continue to remain uninterrupted.

So Wang Ju took the initiative to find a Zheng Xia or that poor little fish, and what he should learn should be learned... This object must not be so cunning, so that it can be easily deceived, and this object must also have a certain appeal. This is a good saying, a bad saying, this person is not only stupid, but also very naive.

Wang Ju kept thinking about this candidate, but he didn't expect An Tao to jump out on his own initiative. When Wang Ju saw that, wasn't An Tao a suitable candidate?

But it is not enough to have a candidate, and there must be certain conditions.

Therefore, Wang Ju thought of Zhu Chun, not only Zhu Chun alone. This was the arrangement that Wang Ju asked Han Yun to make in advance for the purpose of operating the Helan inkstone in the future.

But Zhu Chun is in Shanzhou, which is very close to Luoyang, so he used Zhu Chun in advance.

As for Wen Yanbo's killing Zhang Mu, it was outside the plan. But he had already given birth, and Wang Ju had no choice but to use it.

Zhu Chun then used his mutual exchanges to slightly incite several usury merchants in Shaanxi.

Where can An Tao know all this?

Everyone persuaded each other, and An Tao wrote a letter to Fu Bi and others, and the letter was inevitably filled with qi. When Fu Bi heard that so many gentry strongly opposed it, he sent his family to ask him deliberately, who could his family ask? He was either rich or noble, and he was dissatisfied with the attack on usury or the commercial tax.

Therefore, it quickly became connected, and a large group of people came to Beijing to petition.

But what do you want An Tao to say now?

I was also bewitched by these merchants. Why can you bewitched by them? Are you not brainy?

And the people he brought here only exposed so many problems, what did the emperor think?

An Tao doesn't say anything. You have to read the book ╠┟w=w/w^.,1,k-a=n=s-h-u-./cc

"Mr. Li took the people from the Imperial City Division to investigate. I heard something in Luoyang, saying that you publicly said in Luoyang that I was a butcher, and that the group of sea merchants overseas were also butchers. Yes, those sea merchants did kill many indigenous people in order to survive. But what should I do? Or let them teach those indigenous people with scriptures. Do they have that culture?"

"Especially on the two islands in the east, the climate is the most pleasant to live in, and the scenery is extremely magnificent. One-third of the livestock, meat, fur and perfume on the other side come from. Therefore, the maritime merchants set up four residences and gave them good names, Flower Market, Qing City, Licheng City, and Lin City. The only bad thing is that the indigenous peoples are all cannibals. From where the maritime merchants opened, to when I returned to the Central Plains, 127 soldiers and civilians were killed and eaten by them. In addition, in a suppression battle, due to a command error, the corpses or prisoners of 96 soldiers were not rescued, and they also entered their stomachs."

"So I would like to ask An Gong to go and take charge of the overall situation, and use the classics to educate these indigenous peoples so that they will no longer be cannibalistic and live in peace with our immigrants."

"You, you!" An Tao's lungs were almost irritated.

However, after his prediction, Zhao Xu said, "Let's deal with it according to Wang Qing, Wang Qing, which city is the largest?"

"The biggest one is Beautiful City, and there are the most cannibals."

"Then change it to Lizhou, and Anqing is the governor of Lizhou, and set off immediately."

This is not a magistrate, but a gift to the cannibals as food.

An Tao shouted, "Your Majesty, it's inappropriate. It's inappropriate."

Zhao Xu didn't care about him. The reason why this troubles were so popular was because this kid led the way. What if he didn't punish him severely?

He winked. He wanted to read the ╣┠┣book w,w-w,.-1·k^a-n/s^h=u·The guards forced An Tao out and took him all the way to Mizhou, returning from Mizhou to Lishi, and demoted An Tao to Lishi.

Sima Guang and others were all scared to death. This was either a derogatory resignation. If someone was derogatory, he would be derogatory. If someone was derogatory overseas, he could not be derogatory to the cannibals.

Thinking about An Tao's future fate, Sima Guang and his other people's calves were trembling.

"Sima Guang, do you have nothing to say?"

There is something to say, but Sima Guang dares to say it.

Wang Ju then said, "Your Majesty, detain these evil gentry in Kaifeng Prefecture jail first, and then send Mr. Li to Luoyang to investigate the evil deeds of these gentry in Luoyang."

"Accurate!" Zhao Xu said immediately.

What about Fu Bi is really not easy to deal with.

However, when is it the turn of a group of evil loan shark merchants to speak?

Don't you take me seriously.

These merchants kept begging for mercy.

But Mao Yong was dragged down by the guards one by one.

The consequences of these people are the most miserable. Except for a few squires, there is no evil deeds. The rest... the autumn wind just happened to be blowing.

After Wang Ju and other guards dragged them away, they said, "Your Majesty, I will issue another edict. From now on, all retired officials must go back to their hometowns and do not gather in a certain place to connect. If there is any, all their officials will be removed. Those who are serious will be controlled (that is, they will be placed in a certain city like Shen Kuo). As for Sima Gong and others, please observe the results. If there are similar measures, they will have to settle the forest, Qing and Flower Markets."

In fact, more than half of the officials in the Song Dynasty died in office, but many officials were able to start and end well, including Zeng Gongliang, Fu Bi, and retired at a high age.

But it is not like a vain after retirement, and these officials often take office with them after retirement.

For example, Fu Bi carries several top officials, so although he retires, his salary is still much higher than that of Wang Ju.

Of course, when the official is scattered, there is nothing left.

However, most officials who retired retired will retire and return home, such as Du Yan, who treated Fan Zhongyan like his biological father, or chose to be with his children, such as Zeng Gongliang.

In fact, this edict is specifically designed to deal with the ministers of the Luoyang Elderly Association.

Okay, from now on, you must forcibly disband. Sima Guang returns to Xia County, Zhang Wen returns to Xiangyang, Feng Shenji returns to Heyang, Wang Gongchen, who has not come this time, should not live in your luxury house, go back to Xianping County!

If the imperial court issued this edict in normal times, it would not have known that it would cause a rebound from Sima Guang and others.

But now these big guys are staying here, and no one dares to have any objections. There is any objection, but who wants to go to that flower market, forest city, and green city? Even Cheng Hao and Liu Ji looked at each other, with a look of luck in their eyes.

Fortunately, this kid's meaning is about to end here.

It really ended here. Zhao Xu said: "It's not too late, everyone should go back and rest quickly."

Everyone came out, Fan Chunren blocked Wang Ju and said, "Although An Gong is wrong, you can't let him eat it for the cannibals."

This is simply too domineering, you might as well chop off An Tao directly.

Wang Ju stopped and looked at the ministers surrounding him and said, "Everyone, An Tao is narrow-minded and hateful, but not afraid. What really makes me worry is Sima Junshi, who is unparalleled in the world. On this, Fan Youcheng, you are not as good as your in-laws."

"I."

"Don't let me go, what I'm talking about is the fact, but why don't I propose to demote Sima Junshi overseas? Do you really think I instigated someone to give An Tao to those cannibals to eat? Then I was wrong. This time it was completely led by An Tao, and the matter was so big. If the court turned big and small things into pieces, would there be more people who could imitate it? However, the rich man cannot punish him, and the other people are the same age, so it is inconvenient to punish him. Then he can only punish An Tao."

"But what I said is not a false statement. Where are the natives are indeed cannibals. In fact, Zhang Tianjue has been to the other side, and I have taken him everywhere. It is not what everyone imagines. There is indeed a killing pole on the other side. For example, those cannibals, what should I do if they don't kill them? But on the other hand, they are also using soft means to let them learn to live peacefully. Moreover, when the total number of Chinese immigrants reaches more than 90%, it will not dilute their bloodlines, and the marriage ban will also be liberalized."

"It is true. I can prove it. If you don't believe it, you can also ask after the officials on the other side come back," said Zhang Shangying.

"You understand this time, but this time it's so big that even if all these merchants are killed, they are just a group of illegal usury merchants, what can I do? The banking department is about to open, and if countless people continue to make fun of it later, it may be possible that the banking department will fail. Therefore, only if you say this, when it comes to the outside, some people with no worries will be honest and the banking department can open smoothly."

"The fact is that the reason why An Tao was exiled to Licheng is wrong. Now it is Lizhou in the imperial court. There are two reasons. First, Lizhou is now becoming more dense and may be left to the imperial court to establish a state. Second, Lizhou has a pleasant climate, which is approximately equivalent to the temperature in February and September of the capital, and the temperature does not change much year round. Therefore, compared with the literati and officials in our dynasty, especially the literati in the north, there is a better climate than the capital."

Wang Ju buried another slut here.

Zhang Dun asked him last time, what do you plan to do if you return to the other side in the future?

I believe that more than he had an association, so now, he handed over another settlement and gave it to the court for "management", so that others would not have more associations, at least they could play a certain role in confusion.

Wang Ju has not yet figured out what the future will be like, but in the past few years, he must create a good environment for himself.

"You should understand, right? In fact, where An Tao was demoted, it was just to treat it as a retirement. In order to make perfume, countless flowers were planted there. The climate was suitable, the sea water was blue and the scenery was picturesque, and it was not too wronged. When the matter was settled, the court could send officials to rotate him back. But why didn't I propose to demote Sima Junshi to the other side? Because he was a little old, if there was a mistake due to the bumpy waves, it would be fine if he didn't die. If he died, the political struggle would undoubtedly escalate and deteriorate again."

"Fan Youcheng, why did I repeatedly say that I should be gentle? The Xining reform did not mention its good or bad. In fact, it has formed serious party struggles, including this time the rich man brought people to the capital to protest, which was actually the product of party struggles. We are not too strong yet. When we mention the Liao Kingdom, everyone was afraid of death. However, the scholars and officials themselves had split and the country was in disarray, and the Song Dynasty was in danger. It was precisely because of my considerations that Your Majesty agreed to my ruling. If An Tao was really given to the natives, would Your Majesty agree?"

I really think Zhao Xu is an idiot! (To be continued.)
