1257 The official family wants to run
Zhao Ji's words, how could he hear them? How could he want to escape?
The Jin soldiers had not yet shown signs of going south, and they were the emperor and wanted to escape. This guy still looked a little confused!
If the king is confused, the minister will naturally become traitor!
Cai Jing, who had understood Zhao Ji's thoughts, immediately adjusted his thinking. Since the emperor wanted to run away, as a treacherous minister, he should find excuses to run away and create conditions so that the emperor could escape dignifiedly.
This is the good treacherous minister!
Cai Dajie's eyes turned and there was a solution.
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the housing prices in Kaifeng Prefecture are high and the price is high because of the excessive population, and the large population that does not cause production. Although the population is large and the output is too small, all the food used and food are supplied by the canal. The transportation capacity of the canal is worse than that of one year due to shallow water and silt. Therefore, the imperial court had to restrict the expansion of Kaifeng Prefecture City, which led to high housing prices in the city. Prices are also expensive every day. If the problem is solved once and for all, the population in the city should be reduced!"
Yes, yes! Zhao Ji nodded repeatedly and thought to himself: I am a population that is not a childbirth, and should be transferred to Xiangyang Prefecture...
"Who is the population that does not produce?" Zhao Ji asked.
"This..." Cai Jing suddenly showed a embarrassed expression.
Zhao Ji said: "But it's okay."
"The royal family is a population that does not work for production." Cai Jing said, "The population of this dynasty is large, with the population below the Third Patriarch as many as more than 20,000. Although Taizu was allowed to move to Xijing and Nanjing in the late emperor's dynasty, the King of Qin moved to Xijing and Nanjing after the Qin Dynasty. However, there are still many royal families left in Kaifeng Prefecture, with a population of about 10,000. Including those who serve the royal family, there are probably more than 10,000.
If they could all be moved to Xiangyang Prefecture, they should be able to vacate a lot of land and save a lot of food and food."
Cai Jing's accounts are well settled. The low-end population of Kaifeng Prefecture cannot be moved out alone. No one will take care of the food when moving out. If no one will take care of the food, they will rebel. The rebellion may affect the Kaifeng New Army...
In the middle of the country, industry and commerce are not easy to move. They were moved away, and the market in Kaifeng Prefecture was depressed, and no one provided services to the huge bureaucracy.
And where will industry and commerce go? Maybe it’s Tianjin City, so Wu Haogu’s power will be even stronger.
Therefore, to accommodate, we have to start with the financial meal. Now, those who eat financial meals are officials, the army and the Zhao family.
The officials and the army were not very active, so they took them away, and the capital function of Kaifeng Prefecture was gone.
So the only thing that can be moved is the royal family... There are many royal family members in Kaifeng Prefecture. They not only have to eat hard meals and receive salaries, but also occupy land and real estate. Most of the real estate they own is official property. Once they are moved, these official property can be taken back and continued to develop the real estate industry!
"I'm afraid they won't move away." Tongzhi's secretary of the Privy Council interrupted, "It's all the descendants of Taizong, so it's not easy to use force."
"Is it enough that I can take the lead?" Zhao Ji slapped the case and said with a smile, "I went to Xiangyang Prefecture, Nanjing, and ordered the sons of the clan to follow the guards. When I arrived in Xiangyang, a military army was set up to allow the sons of the clan to serve as military positions, and then they were assigned real estate to live in."
It seems that the official is determined to escape!
Last time, when Yelu Yanxi fought to the edge of the Yellow River, he wanted to run away. Now that he saw that the son of Bianliang was no longer reliable, his will to escape became even stronger.
The ministers knew in their hearts that they couldn't say anything. They were all treacherous ministers, so they wouldn't stop the foolish monarch.
Moreover, the reason for the tyrant monarch to escape is also high-sounding. In order to reduce the population of Kaifeng Prefecture that is full of people...
Seeing that the ministers were silent, Zhao Ji treated everyone as silent in his support.
So he smiled and said, "In addition to the royal family of Kaifeng Prefecture, they can also move to Xiangyang Prefecture one after another, and the royal family of Luoyang, the western capital and Yingtian (Shangqiu) in Nanjing can also move to Xiangyang. The western and southern capitals are not far from Kaifeng Prefecture, and the food and supplies required also rely on the grain and food supply. Moving the royal family south can rely on the supply of Han River, which should greatly reduce the pressure on the grain and transportation."
The population of the Sanjing royal family is more than 20,000, plus women and servants, more than 200,000. If they are all moved to Xiangyang Prefecture, they can save more than one million stones in a year with just the grain of rice.
Xiangyang, which relies on the Han River to provide supplies, does not need to worry about food shortage at all. The Han River is not a canal and does not freeze all year round. The water depth is enough to provide a large ship with thousands of materials to sail. One ship can pull thousands of stones!
Moreover, there are grain-producing areas around Xiangyang Prefecture, with the Nanyang Basin to the north and the Jianghan Plain to the south. There is no need to worry about not being able to support hundreds of thousands of citizens.
"Your Majesty's wise!"
Cai Jing, Deng Xunwu, Tong Guan and other important officials, at this time, they could only call for the sage.
...
Just as the court made up its determination to move Nanjing to Xiangyang, the chaos in Kaifeng Prefecture had gradually subsided.
Although this chaos was given the title of "anti-imperialism and anti-feudalism" in later generations, it was actually neither against the emperor nor feudalism. It was just a group of Kaifeng citizens who were trapped in poverty to vent their dissatisfaction.
After the court announced that it would put Wu Haowen down to the Censorate Prison and crack down on the unscrupulous merchants who raised prices and housing prices, most of the citizens who followed the rioters dispersed. Some of them were left, and they became bandits who robbed by fire.
The new army stationed in the Mutuogang Camp also responded quickly. After receiving the order from the Privy Council, they immediately sent four camps to move towards Kaifeng Prefecture. They all had light equipment and ran forward. At a loss, money drove from Wanshengmen to Kaifeng Prefecture.
As soon as they entered the city, they were scattered, cleaned up streets in teams and ranks, announced curfews, drove away the mobs, and worked with the soldiers from Kaifeng Prefecture to extinguish several burning fires.
By the early morning of the fifth day of the fifth month, the entire Kaifeng Prefecture had recovered its tranquility.
However, behind this tranquility, there are countless people who have to sleep all night.
Wu Haowen's biological mother Feng Erniang must be unable to sleep. As soon as the new army in Moutuogang entered the city, under the protection of Teacher Shi, she entered the imperial city from Xihuamen and found Wu Haode. Then she went to Qionglin Palace to meet Zhao Ji, begging him to let Wu Haowen go...
In fact, this is completely redundant. Wu Haowen can rely on his elder brother if he doesn’t rely on his mother!
However, the group of student leaders who gathered in Qingcheng Academy this night who caused trouble did not know who they were going to rely on.
He Li, Liu Qi, Zhang Jun and the others gathered in Zhang Jun's room at this time, with a light like a bean, silent.
The three of them had big eyes and small eyes, as if they were dumbfounded.
They never thought of making things so big! Thousands of students' books are enough to make them famous all over the world. Now there are riots of more than 100,000 people, which is not too much, but enough to behead them.
The atmosphere inside the room was getting more and more depressing, and it was almost breathless.
Suddenly, Liu Qi slapped the table and the person stood up.
"Uncle Xin, you are..." Zhang Jun looked at Liu Qi.
Liu Qi gritted his teeth, "No, I can't sit still and wait for death! You two are scholars and you will not be beheaded. I am a martial artist, and this head is not safe. I have to leave!"
"Let's go?" He Li asked, "Where's going? Is the world so big?..."
No, is it not the kingdom, there is still a republic!
"Go and go to Tianjin!" Liu Qi bowed, "Two, there will be a date later!"
He also simply left after saying that, without any delay.
Seeing Liu Qi leave, He Li and Zhang Jun were also a little stunned. He Li is the top scholar, and he goes to Tianjin? That would be a bad reputation for thousands of years?
Moreover, the Song Dynasty did not kill scholars and officials. Oh, it was unknown, and at most it would be killed quietly...
Zhang Jun sighed and just sat upright: "It's time to come, but I'm sure I have a clear conscience!"
"Yes!" He Li nodded, "But please have a clear conscience!"
...
"Come on, come on, taste it. This is the chicken soup I made for the bachelor's..."
In the Censorate, a side hall, it was brightly lit at this time. On a square table, there were a few side dishes, and a large pot of Censorate Chicken Soup - famous dishes!
Zhang Kegong and Wu Haowen sat opposite each other, and there was a pretty girl wearing heavy makeup and very charming makeup sitting beside Wu Haowen. The one who was trying to persuade Wu Haowen to drink soup was this pretty girl. This pretty girl is not an ordinary person. Her name is Xu Poxi, and she is one of the most popular leaders in Kaifeng Prefecture. She is the courtesan lady of Kaifeng Prefecture in the fifth year of Zhenghe. She is the only one of the most popular girls in Kaifeng Prefecture.
After Li Shishi (Little Li Shishi) had such a little unclear relationship with the official Zhao Ji, the most popular girl among the officials and wealthy officials in Kaifeng Prefecture can have a love for her.
Needless to say, Xu Poxi must be one of Wu Haowen’s confidantes, otherwise she would not be as popular as she is now.
After hearing that Wu Haowen was arrested in the Censorate Prison, Xu Poxi was also loyal enough. Without saying a word, he immediately pushed the guest official at night and ran to the Censorate Prison to visit the prison by himself.
The Censorate Prison was not allowed to visit the prison, but Wu Haowen was an exception! Not only were confidants like Xu Poxi allowed to visit the prison, but Wu Haowen could also be selected and selected... Of course, more than one beauty was to visit the prison, but many beauty lined up to visit the prison. It was impossible for Wu Haowen to meet all at once, so he could only meet one person a day.
I met Xu Poxi today, and I will meet Zhao Ji’s confidante Li Shishi tomorrow, and I will meet Feng Yinu the day after tomorrow. I will meet the third generation of Yan Xijiao (the adopted daughter of the second generation of Yan Xijiao)...
Just by pursuing such a list of prison visits, Wu Haowen should be hated by the bitter men of Kaifeng Prefecture!
Drinking the chicken soup made by the beauty, Wu Haowen sighed, "Jie Zhong, I really didn't expect that Kaifeng Mansion would be in such a mess."
"It's all because of the bad things of the four scholars!" Zhang Kegong said with anger, "I must choose a few leaders when I look back, and I will punish you for your crimes!"
Wu Haowen nodded, "A few people who take the lead will definitely be punished! But this newly-educated university... is indeed a bit difficult to cure! My elder brother was able to divide the territory of Yan, but Isn't Wenru Yuntai and Wu Yi Knight? The two universities provide how many talents the Zhou Kingdom can provide. But these talents don't know how to be loyal to the emperor! Jie Zhong is the chief minister, but you must pay more attention and you must not have an accident in the capital again."
