Two hundred and fifty-seven, the enemy behind
Li Xingzhou has been thinking about Jiangzhou for several days.
He also thought of some countermeasures and slowly wrote them down. Although he was just a piss-official fight with Wang Tong, he was still concerned about Jiangzhou. It was impossible to ignore the business of the royal family and the livelihoods of many people.
But he didn't expect that the situation had reached that point. The so-called crime is the decline of the moral bottom line. There are many such examples not only in ancient times, but also in modern times.
For example, cities such as Baltimore, Detroit, and countries such as the Philippines and Colombia.
To give a simple example, when Lee Sing-cheol went to Detroit in his previous life, the local McDonald's had bulletproof glass, which was basically as if there were gun battles every day and murders every day.
More serious things like Colombia, drug dealers even regularly kill police officers and throw them away to warn ordinary local people that they are the people who really control this area.
Many children are controlled by drug dealers when they are in their teens, and are engaged in thugs, drug trafficking, etc., on the condition that they can take drugs for free.
In such a social environment, gangs and bandits are arbitrarily, and the government will soon lose control of the region, and the people will gradually adapt to such an environment and survive in the cracks.
There were many such examples in ancient times, especially when the transportation was underdeveloped, the central government was unable to maintain local order, and if local officials did not rely on local forces, they would basically not be able to manage the local area.
But most of the time, in order to maintain a delicate balance, for example, the Sun Ban Palm in the capital has done several things for the royal palace, but it is just a real local snake. Would He Zhao not know that there are such local snakes in the capital? He naturally knew that it was just that wildfire could not be burned out. As long as not all people are healthy and prosperous, killing one Sun Ban Palm, there will be the next Sun Ban Palm, so as long as the Sun Ban Palm is not excessive, He Zhao will not touch him.
That is normal, but once it gradually develops into Jiangzhou, it is basically a matter of letting go, and a city has also announced that it has begun to decline.
But Li Xingzhou didn't expect Jiangzhou to become like that in just half a year.
This should be inseparable from Wang Tong. I believe that when the turmoil was first born, he was not cruel enough, had fantasies, and adopted a policy of appeasement, which led to the current chaos.
Appeasement of criminal actions is not only a simple infringement of the rights and interests of ordinary people, but also a deeper approach that is forced to degenerate, which is the greatest injustice.
Perhaps Wang Tong himself believed in Buddhism and had a kind heart. He could not bear to use severe means to deal with criminals and wanted to influence them with kindness.
But he never thought that being kind to criminals would be thought that those who committed crimes were not severely punished, but I lived a far worse life than those criminals. This is simply a huge injustice. Why do I work honestly? I will also go to commit crimes.
Emotions are contagious. If the evil one cannot be punished, and cannot be punished more severely and quickly, even if we deal with it later, those negative and depraved emotions have spread.
This is like someone asks how to cure Detroit and return order? There is only one ordinary way to kill this generation and isolate their influence on the next generation. Then the next generation will receive a good education from an early age, otherwise negative and chaos will only continue to spread and contagious in the general environment.
"Prince, Yan Chai has been sent here." After a while, Gillian and Yue'er came up.
This afternoon, Tang Zhou was hunting in order to invite him to see the harvest of the people in the suburbs of Beijing. Tang Zhou was hunting, Qidong, and several Zhongshushangers from the Secretariat Province, together with a novel musket, and he caught two rabbits.
After returning home in the afternoon, I sold sweet white wine every day to Yue'er's family with new honey. They raised them all by themselves. I took them back today and thought the little girl was petite and cute, and often bought their sweet wine, so I gave her half a jar of new honey.
Li Xingzhou also thought about roasting rabbits with honey, which was a rare delicacy, so he asked Yan Chai to help him deal with the two rabbits and then send them over.
He heard Yan Chai pack up the rabbit, so he put away the paper and pen, then turned off the candlelight, and went downstairs with the two little girls.
Qiu'er lit the lantern, Jiao cleaned her collar for him, and asked in a low voice: "What is the prince writing?"
"Some things about Jiangzhou." Li Xingzhou smiled: "I have been thinking about this recently. If you have the chance, you may have to go to Jiangzhou. Then you can go with me."
"Okay!" Gillian nodded happily and smiled brightly. Her family was already in Jiangzhou.
The next day, the morning was very lively, because it was the most important season of the year when the autumn harvest season was the most important season.
If the weather is not good, there will be famine and there may be chaos. Therefore, every autumn harvest is coming, the court is happy and worried, and the most tense moments are the highest.
Fortunately, the scenery this year has good weather and no natural disasters.
The Ministry of Revenue sent Tang Zhou to report to the emperor one by one, and reported it to the emperor one by one. It was all good news, but it could not be spared the suspicion of the fat man's good news but not bad news.
Recently, he added Shaoqing of Honglu Temple. Tang Zhouwei was also proud of the spring breeze. He reported the autumn harvest situation in various places. He also specifically reported that he went outside the city to see the harvest of the fields yesterday, leaving the emperor with a good image of his own practice.
Li Xingzhou was speechless. It turned out that he asked him to go to the suburbs to hunt for this yesterday. It really cannot be said that he didn't go. He did, but exploring and hunting in his mouth became a business matter. It was a great thing.
It's worthy of being a sloppy person
The emperor was really happy after hearing this, praised him for a few words, and then asked: "Su, Lu area has just experienced wars. What is the situation now? There is a famine disaster."
"Report to the emperor, the people in Su and Lu are in good condition! All of this is attributed to the King of Pingnan. The large ship of the King of Pingnan's mansion transported a large amount of grain in western Beijing to the south during the autumn harvest, which just filled the grain shortage in Su and Lu. Now the people of Su and Lu are grateful to the royal family. They also joined forces with Guazhou to write a letter to thank the royal family for their kindness. They are on the road at this time and are expected to arrive in two days." Tang Zhou said with a smile.
The emperor was even happier when he heard this: "Oh, okay! Xing Chau's ship?" He said and looked at him.
Li Xingzhou stood in the front row and bowed: "Your Majesty, you just do business and sell the grain from Jingxi Road in the south, and then let the people in the south exchange cloth, brocade, leather, etc. for grain. In this way, there will be grain in the south and cloth in the north. Leather can be used to supervise military weapons and make two birds with one stone, and the royal palace can also make a profit from it."
"Okay! You are worthy of being my grandson. You did a good job in this matter!" The emperor smiled rare. After all, no one expected that the south would be able to survive smoothly this autumn after the chaos.
If you know that the chaos in the two places is in spring, no matter how you make up for it, it will definitely delay farming. The thief has been eliminated, but by autumn and winter, there will be insufficient food, and chaos will occur again. The emperor is even mentally prepared, which can be seen from his transfer of Wen Daoli back to Beijing.
Unexpectedly, now that this crisis has been easily resolved, he is naturally happy.
The ministers also took the opportunity to say good things and show kindness to him.
After the court was dispersed, the rare prince actually praised him with a smile. Yu Chengan also smiled and nodded when he saw him.
Li Xingzhou felt strange. He couldn't tell what the people he wanted to do, but it was a fact that Yu Cheng'an and the prince were not in dealing with him. Why did he suddenly look good again today?
On the contrary, De Gong looked very bad. After the scattered court, he patted his shoulder as soon as he left the court and whispered: "Come with me, and I will tell you if you have something to do."
Li Xingzhou rarely saw Duke De like this, so he hurriedly followed him. After leaving the Meridian Gate, he resigned from all officials and asked Ji Chunsheng to go back first and get on the Prime Minister's carriage. Duke De talked to him one by one.
It turned out that after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Wang Tong went home and waited for two days with great enthusiasm, but he didn't see Zhang Rang delivering anything that he said at the banquet that day that Jurchen Musk.
After thinking about it, I always felt something was wrong and absent-minded, so I came to visit myself when I had nothing to do, but the officials who drank together that night were all closed.
Now Wang Tong finally realized that something was wrong.
The more he thought about it privately, the more he felt it was like a situation. He didn't know who he was going for, but he didn't dare to delay and quickly explained the matter to his father.
Duke De heard one by one ask about his experience that night and what he said.
At first, Wang Tong was a little concealed, but after stern questioning, he could only explain in detail that De Gong was not Wang Tong. He just immediately understood the whole story as soon as he heard it.
"My son has not been in Beijing for a long time, and he does not know that people's hearts are sinister.
He was in the same place, and all the officials held him and followed him, and said a ruthless word, that was the local emperor! He didn't know that the dangers in the capital were simple and simple, and he was used by others. These people were obviously coming for you boy." Duke De reminded him seriously.
"And he wanted to get you involved in the Jiangzhou incident, but he let it go, and there was a reason. It may not have been done yet, but it may have been done, but I don't know you and I have to be careful." Degong was worried.
Li Xingzhou asked excitedly: "Who were there at that time?"
Degong thought for a moment: "According to my rebellious son, there were Wei Guoan, the Minister of the Secretariat, Xue Fang, the Dushi envoy, Yu Cheng'an and his son-in-law, the Yan and Iron Department Tongzhi participated in the victory, Zhang Rang, the Ministry of War judges, and Tong Guan, the commander of the Guards and Infantry Commander."
When Li Xingzhou heard the names of these people, he remembered them one by one, and was actually happy.
Because he was never afraid of opponents, but only feared an invisible opponent. Now that these people accidentally showed their faces, it would be easy to deal with, just clean up one by one!
After arriving at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Duke De ordered the servants to prepare wine and food as soon as he entered the door. Everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion was familiar with him and knew that it was Miss Gillian's son-in-law, and they were very enthusiastic.
"Walk to the inner hall and have a good talk with the unfilial son. Now that Yu Cheng'an and others have caught this, they will not give up. You better have a countermeasure to be foolproof!"
