Chapter 1,718 This Is Just the Beginning
In front of the Imperial City, the zombies were holding lanterns and waiting for the door to open.
"If I am short of money, I will sell the house and donate all the money to the Third Division!"
Han Qi's voice was loud, but the key was that while he was speaking, he was looking at Sima Guang and others beside him.
Why!
This person is so domineering.
Sima Guang stood dumbly, with various thoughts swirling in his mind.
For the Northern Expedition, everything is ready now, but money is needed.
War horses were continuously brought from the northwest, and cavalry could often be seen leading horses through Bianliang City.
The most typical example is that officials generally change their horses, and the original bad horses are replaced by good horses.
And those yamen now have a new entertainment project, which is to go out to the city to go horse racing.
There is no shortage of war horses, which is a positive sign.
But can the Northern Expedition be postponed?
Sima Guang was thinking about this problem.
The process of the New Deal is getting faster and faster. Just say that the exemption money has now been extended to the entire Song Dynasty, and there are many officials below to help. As a result, he was discovered by the local censor, and a memorial was issued, which made everyone unlucky.
That group of people is the worst off, why do you say that?
After they were impeached by the imperial censor, some people said they would be demoted. Bao Zheng, who had not lost his temper for a long time, left his job and started to lash out.
The final result is to build roads, and they stay in the local area to build roads.
Instead of going to other places, he was carrying a hoe to build roads in his hometown. When he was seen by the locals, his whole family, including his relatives, couldn't hold their heads up.
Thinking of this, Sima Guang looked around but didn't see Shen An.
When Shen An proposed that each government should have two censors, who would be replaced regularly, many people criticized him for being too harsh on officials.
But now it seems that those criticisms are more out of guilty conscience.
New Deal!
Sima Guang closed his eyes in pain.
"Peace of mind."
Lu Hui's voice came, and he was very happy, "Yesterday, not many people went to the bank for half a day, most of them were ordinary people and small businessmen. The wealthy businessmen didn't go at all."
"Prince Huayuan didn't come!"
Someone was shouting, "He came to court yesterday, why is he missing today?"
The person shouting was a member of the clan, with a look of gloating on his face.
There is a group of people in this world who don't want to see others have a hard time, and they love to see others suffer misfortune.
This guy obviously is.
"I'm here."
Zhao Yunliang came, still looking like a fairy, except that he was holding a whisk in his hand.
"Why is the prince so late?"
After Zhao Yunliang was arranged by Zhao Shu to go to the Chang Dynasty, he actually thought that this was not bad and could be regarded as a pastime, so he arrived early every day.
Today he was very late.
He said calmly: "I just went to the bank. I kept the money at home, so I lent it to the official."
The expressions of the people present were different.
Sima Guang was dumbfounded, and there was more disdain in Lu Jie's eyes, "Pretending!"
"Okay!" Han Qi strode over and said, "I used to have a lot of disdain for the prince, but today I have to praise you, what a good man!"
Han Qi was Zhao Shu's best friend, and Zhao Yunliang was Zhao Shu's competitor back then. The two of them couldn't compete.
At this moment, Han Qi took the initiative to show his kindness, and Zhao Yunliang was a little surprised. He habitually bowed his head and said, "Blessings and Infinite Heavenly Lord..."
Huh!
Han Qi looked confused.
Why did a Taoist come to court?
Zhao Yunliang got used to it and unconsciously said, "The human heart is made of flesh, and the officials are kind and generous. I practice Taoism at home, but I also learned about the current situation of the Song Dynasty from the servants in the house. It is prospering! Such officials said Borrowing money, whatever I have, I will give it to you."
As he spoke, he took out a receipt and tore it into pieces, "This money is for the Northern Expedition. I am not talented, but I refuse to take it back, otherwise I will have no face to see my ancestors!"
He is a member of the royal family, and these words are truly shocking.
"Ha... bah!"
Spitting!
Everyone couldn't help but get angry when they heard this voice.
This is in front of the imperial city!
But when I turned around, I saw that I had no more opinions.
Zhao Yunrang appeared with his hands behind his back.
He looked left and right, and when he saw Zhao Yunliang, he nodded and said, "Well said!"
This was the first time he gave Zhao Yun a good look.
What is called excitement in Zhao Yunliang's heart!
Once Lao Zhao has a good impression of him, things in the Huayuan County Prince's Palace will gradually become normal in the future.
Normalize!
Zhao Yun's conscience was filled with joy, and he felt that his decision to donate money couldn't be more correct.
Lao Zhao hadn't come for a long time, so everyone quickly saluted and said hello.
Zhao Yunrang just nodded, clasping his hands behind his back, and said majestically: "I was eating, drinking and having fun at home waiting to die, but I heard some people said that the Northern Expedition should not be carried out, and some even said that lending money to officials should not be done...beasts!"
Lao Zhao went crazy, and even Lu Jie stepped back.
He could stand up to Bao Zheng for a while when he got mad, but he couldn't do anything if Shen An got mad, but Zhao Yunrang couldn't.
This is the biological father of the official family. If he really wants to slap you, can you fight back?
cannot!
Otherwise, if the officials deal with you, no one in the world will dare to speak for you.
That's the rule!
"Who is the Northern Expedition for? It's for the world." Zhao Yunrang seemed to be having a good time at home, eating, drinking and having fun, and he was getting better and better. "That's fine if it's reasonable and well-founded, but why did I hear what someone said... The Northern Expedition It’s just militarism, who said that? Stand up and let me see.”
Lu Hui hid further.
"Do you think I don't know?" Zhao Yunrang said disdainfully: "The Song Dynasty defeated the Western thieves, and now there is no need to use troops in the northwest. How can there be such a need for militancy?
Why was the Northern Expedition? In order to get back the land of Youyan, once the land of Youyan was in hand, the Song Dynasty locked up the Liao people outside the Great Wall. Why did those people turn a blind eye to such benefits? "
This is the truth.
But the battle between the DPRK and China has never been about right or wrong.
"..."
Zhao Shu just learned the news that his father was here.
"...The prince scolded those people."
"Has anyone refuted it?"
Zhao Shu put down his chopsticks and looked deeply.
Chen Zhongheng shook his head, "No one dares to refute it."
If someone refutes Zhao Yunrang, Zhao Shu will definitely write it down in the booklet and deal with it one by one later.
"The prince is old and it is not easy to get angry."
Zhao Shu also had a headache for his father, "That's all. After the court is over later, you can go to the Prince's Mansion and tell the Prince that you can go out when you want. How can you have so many scruples?"
Chen Zhongheng agreed.
"Get ready."
Zhao Shu stood up and someone came to help him change his clothes.
Later, go all the way to the front.
"Official family."
Not long after he was about to go out, someone came running towards him.
"What's the matter?"
Chen Zhongheng stopped the visitor.
"Many people went to the bank!"
The happy look on the visitor's face made Zhao Shu's heart move, "Who are they?"
"Many people, countless." The visitor was obviously a little shocked.
"many people?"
Zhao Shu asked calmly.
"Many, too many to count."
The visitor said happily: "The people from the Imperial City Division have said it, and it seems that the entire Bianliang City has been mobilized."
"That much?"
Zhao Shu was a little happy.
"Finally, someone knows loyalty, which is very rare."
The visitor continued: "Many people gave money and refused to ask for proof. Some even tore up the proof when they went out. Officials, those people said..."
The visitor was a little excited. Zhao Shu smiled and said, "Why are you so anxious? Speak slowly."
The visitor took a breath and said, "Those people said that you are a good official, so they are willing to support you."
Zhao Shu slowly closed his eyes, and tears gradually fell from the corners of his eyes.
Everything he did since he ascended the throne was to make the Song Dynasty more powerful.
But there are countless opponents. They launched a sniper attack on the New Deal in both the government and the public, using various means to cause chaos for him.
He has been really exhausted physically and mentally these past few years!
But at this moment, just saying "You are a good official" made him feel that all the fatigue was worth it.
"Official!"
Chen Zhongheng couldn't help but panic when he saw him crying.
Zhao Shu shook his head, then wiped away his tears, "Shen An said there was no need to worry about this matter, but I was worried. Only now did I understand that there are so many loyal and righteous people, what should I be afraid of?"
Chen Zhongheng was also very happy when he got the news and said: "The official family, I'm afraid those people won't be able to give much money!"
"I am also happy for a penny! This is not just borrowing money from the world. Two cents of profit, this is also a benefit to the world. The fruits of victory in the Northern Expedition have begun to be distributed. Some people do not know my intentions and are complacent at home, thinking that they can really stump the world. Got me...
Shen An said that if possible, he had several ways to raise a decent amount of money, but he advised me to take this opportunity to see the world.
What did he say this was? This is a war dividend, and if the people get this dividend, if the Song Dynasty wants to do big things in the future, the people will naturally support it enthusiastically. I deeply believe it at this moment. "
Zhao Shu looked up at the morning light on the horizon and said with a smile: "I don't want to be a director recently, but now I can't wait to see those people."
All the way to the Chui Gong Hall, after the emperor and his ministers met, Zhao Shu's first words were affirmative, "I heard that a lot of people went to the bank to borrow money today. I want to praise them."
"Yes." Han Qi said: "The ministers are also paying attention to this matter. The people from Bianliang left enthusiastically, which shows that there are countless loyal people."
As soon as these words came out, the corners of Yi Wen Yanbo's eyes twitched. As for the others, they looked a little unbelievable.
Zhao Shu nodded, UU reading www.uukanshu.net "Although it's not much, it's what they want."
No matter how small or large these sentiments were, they were always supportive of the New Deal, which lifted the spirits of the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty.
The so-called popular support is like this, and so is the general trend. Now that the general trend is here, it will be difficult to reverse, so Zhao Shu can't help but feel good.
The proceedings continued.
"Due to the destruction of Jiaozhi in the southwest, grain storage was reduced last year, and all the grain went to the north."
Han Jiang was in a good mood and spoke with a loud voice.
"The disaster relief work on Jingdong Road is all over. Most of the migratory locusts have been culled in Yanzhou, so the impact is not big."
This is all good news, and Zhao Shu gradually smiled.
"His Majesty!"
Someone is coming outside.
Chen Zhongheng went over and asked in a low voice, then took a piece of paper and came in.
"His Majesty."
When Zhao Shu saw his happy face, he smiled and said, "Where's the good news?"
During this period of time, he received almost all bad news, but starting from today, all the good news came one after another.
"Your Majesty, the people from the bank came to report. It only took two hours for the bank to collect the money..."
He looked down at the paper again.
Logically speaking, he had no right to get involved in such matters, but Zhao Shu forgot to scold him. Chen Zhongheng also forgot these rules and looked ecstatic.
He said: "Your Majesty, there are more than 200,000 strings in total!"
The emperor and his ministers were stunned, and Chen Zhongheng said: "The man said that the bank's judgment was that there would be a lot more to come. He also said... Shen An said, please tell your majesty that this is just the beginning."
This is just the beginning!
Zhao Shu took a deep breath.
"I am so happy!"
