Chapter 185 Games Are Still Fun

Just when Zhao Jun was inspecting the public sentiment in Suzhou, by February 26, Zhao Jun's reply was almost simultaneously sent to Bianliang.

Jinzouyuan handed the letter back to the Constitutional Yuan.

In the morning, the sun is shining brightly. According to the solar calendar, it is around the end of March and April, so the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming in colorful colors.

There was originally a forest garden outside the Constitutional Yuan. In the garden, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. The ginkgo trees in the yard were growing new leaves and the bushes were lush. There were all kinds of precious flowers and plants in the flower beds. You can smell the aroma when you walk outside the courtyard. .

Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng and others were handling official business in the house.

At the beginning of this year, they will comprehensively implement the reform of officialdom and state-owned enterprises. At present, the main priority is the reform of state-owned enterprises.

Li Shen is currently presiding over the state-owned auction, and the assets under bidding are almost complete.

Almost the entire sale of salt, wine, tea, etc. in Bianliang has begun semi-state-owned and semi-privatized reforms, and privatized shares account for the majority. State-owned shares will not hinder the operation of private businessmen.

In this case, many Bianliang businessmen formed a partnership to purchase shares.

Among them, the tea shop represented by Tian's Tea, the salt shop represented by Kang's Salt Industry, and the grain shop represented by Liu's Grain Industry are the leading ones, and the Meng Chengqi family also accounts for some proportion.

Basically, more than 20 million yuan have been sold in Bianliang alone through state-owned stores, institutions, sales qualifications, etc. Important natural resources such as tea farms, mines, and salt fields later have also begun to enter the negotiation stage.

The main reason is that the economic system of the Song Dynasty was often based on the combination of folk handicraft manufacturing and government and business. It was already great for businessmen to have assets reaching one million yuan.

Unlike the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which produced a large number of wealthy people holding tens of millions or hundreds of millions of taels of silver.

Therefore, even if the imperial court wanted to reform semi-privatization, the volume would be too large for businessmen to swallow in a short time.

However, the advantage of the business environment in the Song Dynasty is that although there were not many top-notch wealthy people, if the Qing Dynasty produced one hundred millionaires, then the business environment in the Song Dynasty produced 10,000 millionaires. Consistently rich man.

Due to the squeeze on big businessmen, it is rare for businessmen to break through the upper limit of wealth, and it is basically reduced to the level of one million yuan, resulting in a situation where wealth is quite dispersed.

certainly.

It is also possible that wealth is mainly concentrated in the hands of business officials, and there are not many large private businessmen.

But no matter what, although businessmen don't have much individual wealth, they can join together to set up a trading company, jointly contribute capital, occupy a certain proportion, buy state-owned assets, and operate them together.

However, there will definitely be some troubles in doing so. Each company has different business methods and different philosophies. It is very likely that disagreements will arise and cause business problems.

So during this period, Li Shen was busy with this matter. The Ministry of Industry and Commerce led by him coordinated the interests of various companies, allowing people from all walks of life and joint ventures to choose a leader that everyone could trust, and this person would determine the leadership. status, and formulate rules and business philosophy together.

The Constitutional Yuan is currently making every effort to promote this matter and hopes to complete the privatization reform as soon as possible this year. After the state-owned reform is completed, the officialdom will be restructured nationwide to increase administrative efficiency.

After all, the reform has not yet been completed, and the national treasury has already received more than 20 million yuan. What if all the reforms are completed?

"Mr. Lu, look at this. It was brought here only after entering the memorial hall."

While everyone was going about their daily business, Song Shou came in from outside, holding documents in his hand.

He had just gone to the Ministry of Finance. On his way back, he happened to encounter a new petition sent from Jinzouyuan, so he took it together.

One of the official notes that entered the memorial hall was a reply letter from Zhao Jun. Song Shou opened it and read it on the way. The content in it was about the situation in Bozhou and the removal of the prefect of Bozhou.

This series of operations shocked Song Shou, and he quickly came over to discuss with Lu Yijian.

Lu Yijian was getting older and was a bit presbyopic. When he saw the document handed over by Song Shou, he did not read the words on it carefully. Instead, he threw it aside and said, "What's the matter? I'm reading the letter just sent from Cangzhou. The Liao Army The front line changed defense and there seemed to be new moves.”

"What new moves can be made? Han Long said that the Liao Kingdom will not move south in a large scale, and we will not have a war in the next few decades. There is no need to be surprised and scare yourself."

One side of the king once casually mocked his old rival for being timid.

Song Shou didn't wait for Lu Yijian to reply, and said with a wry smile: "Hanlong killed Guo Chengyou, the governor of Bozhou."

"What? Really killed?"

In an instant, several prime ministers working in the room raised their heads.

It's not that they didn't know Guo Chengyou's background. Zhao Jun had also been sent to the letter committee to handle matters in Bozhou before. At that time, they also signed an order for him to act expediently.

But after all, Guo Chengyou had a close relationship with the official family, and the official family even sent a private message to Zhao Jun, hoping that he would be merciful.

In the end, Zhao Jun still didn't care and killed the person. This was a bit disrespectful to the official.

"Yes, not only did he kill him, he also sent him a painting."

Song Shou said.

"painting?"

Lu Yijian then opened the document, glanced at the contents briefly, and then unfolded the world-famous painting.

Then he saw Zhao Jun sitting majestically in the hall, with a mirror hanging high in the hall.

There were stacks of official documents on the right side of the table in front of him, with a few small words listed next to them - evidence of Guo Chengyou's crime.

There is an open letter in the middle of the table. The text is too small to see clearly the content of the letter, but above the painting there are several large characters - "The official is pleading for mercy".

"What's the meaning?"

Lu Yijian was getting older and couldn't keep up with his reaction and thinking. He immediately wondered: "What does this painting want to illustrate?"

Yan Shu came over and glanced twice, and then said: "You are laughing at us."

"Where is the ridicule? There are no officials here."

Lu Yijian was still puzzled.

Yan Shu pointed to the evidence and said, "What is this?"

"Evidence of Guo Chengyou's crime?"

"So is Guo Chengyou a greedy person?"

"Of course it is."

"What's the letter on the table?"

"letter?"

Lu Yijian was a little presbyopic. She leaned down and still didn't understand. She asked, "What does this have to do with the official family?"

"This letter is a plea letter written by the officials to Han Long."

Yan Shu replied: "The officials are interceding for a greedy person. Isn't this making fun of us?"

Only then did everyone come to their senses.

This thing is exactly the same as a joke from the Song Dynasty. It's the kind of thing where you don't know what it means when you first hear it, but you can only understand it after thinking about it carefully.

A corrupt official and a traitor who cares little about human life. An honest official has caught evidence of the other party's crime and wants to bring him to justice. But on the desk of this upright official, a letter from the emperor pleading for mercy for this traitor appeared.

The emperor who is supposed to hate corrupt officials is protecting and shielding corrupt officials. Isn't this ironic?

"It feels like you are not laughing at us, but at the officials?"

Wang Sui whispered.

Lu Yijian said righteously: "The Constitutional Yuan represents the face of the officials. Even if you are mocking the officials, you are also mocking the Constitutional Yuan."

Everyone murmured, "Why don't you, Lu Yijian, become a high official?" This scene was really beautiful.

"Forget it, just scold Hanlong. It's not the first time anyway."

Wang Zeng shrugged and said, "But do you want to show this painting to the officials?"

"Don't show it to the officials."

Wang Sui said: "If the officials saw it, wouldn't they be very unhappy?"

"If Han Long knew that we withheld this painting without showing it to the officials, do you think he would be even more unhappy?"

Yan Shu asked back: "The current situation is that if you show it to the officials, they will feel uncomfortable. But if you don't show it to the officials, you will offend Hanlong, and no one will be able to live in peace in the future."

Everyone felt numb when they heard this.

Zhao Jun is now the little bully, and no one can offend him.

It's easy to scold them if they make him angry, but it's really bad if they really mess him up.

Therefore, facing Zhao Jun was even more difficult than facing officials before.

At least the officials were fooled by them and acted honestly. But Zhao Jun couldn't fool him at all. They tried but failed.

If he offends Zhao Jun, he will be in big trouble in the future.

So everyone looked at each other.

"Let's talk about it then."

Lu Yijian thought for a while and then said: "The official documents sent by Han Long still have to be shown to the officials. This painting is just for the officials to have a look at. There is no need to tell the officials its meaning, so it is not withheld. "

"So be it."

Everyone had no choice but to agree.

In the afternoon, it was time for another meeting.

Zhao Zhen is playing games.

In the past few days, the weather has finally cleared up, the sun has turned on, and the battery has been recharged. It will naturally be a lot of fun.

He's a little tired of playing Metal Slug, and he can't understand those large 3A games, as well as StarCraft, Warcraft, Red Alert and the like.

After struggling for a long time, I started playing Plants vs. Zombies.

It is a joy to plant pea shooters under the sun.

At this time, Wang Shouzhong quickly knocked on the door three times.

Zhao Zhen quickly paused the game, switched out skillfully, and then clicked on a study material, seemingly immersed in it.

"Crunch!"

Soon the door opened and Wang Shouzhong came in and said, "The official family, Prime Minister Lu and the others are here."

"Well, let them in."

Zhao Zhen said.

Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng and others filed in, raised their hands to him and said, "I have met your Majesty!"

"Um."

Zhao Zhen nodded, closed the laptop, and then said: "My dear sirs, you have worked hard, what are the government affairs today?"

Lu Yijian reported what happened today.

There are a large number of government affairs reports every day across the country, and there have even been many articles impeaching Zhao Jun recently.

After all, Zhao Jun directly arrested many officials in a state without going through the Yushitai, obviously once again interfering with the authority of the Yushitai.

Even if he is acting in the name of the Imperial City Secretary, it is not the first time. No matter how the Yushitai impeaches Zhao Jun, it will still stand, but the due procedures must still be in place.

Otherwise, if Zhao Jun always arrests people everywhere because the Imperial City Division has been granted the power to act cheaply by the officials, but they don't even let go, it is really shameless. At least they have to struggle to prove that they have resisted.

A bunch of miscellaneous things, Zhao Zhen nodded slightly from time to time, frowned and thought deeply from time to time, and occasionally praised a few words, seemingly listening carefully to Lu Yijian's report on national affairs.

But in fact, Zhao Zhen was urging Lu Yijian to finish the report quickly.

In the past, he had always felt that Master Lu was not only his tutor in class, but also his guide in life, and a very important minister to him.

But I don’t know why, but lately I have become more impatient and displeased when I see him being so long-winded.

The game is still fun.

Zhao Zhen still pretended, but his thoughts had flown to nowhere.

At the national level, the matter is not about how many cases the local government has solved, or the landlords there who bully the people, but about the country's military, economy, and people's livelihood.

If a natural disaster occurs somewhere and affects many people, causing many people to be displaced, the court must provide disaster relief immediately.

There are also any changes on the border between Xixia and Liao, which are all the focus of attention.

After Lu Yijian reported on the state-owned reform, as well as the recent disasters in various places and the military trends in the northwest and Liao Kingdom, Zhao Zhencai said thoughtfully: "It is a good thing that the state-owned reform can bring more than 20 million yuan to the national treasury so quickly. ”

"yes."

Everyone responded.

"Then continue to push forward and strive to promote more prosperous business as soon as possible, as Da Sun said."

"yes."

"In the case of the heavy rain in Fuzhou, we urged local officials to properly resettle the victims, rebuild their houses as soon as possible, and then allocate 500,000 yuan from the government treasury to purchase supplies and send them to the disaster areas."

"yes."

"Although there are changes in the Liao Kingdom, just ignore them. Da Sun said that after the Battle of Chanzhou, there will be no war between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom. I think it is just a daily deterrent by force."

"yes."

"This year's spring plowing, the Constitutional Yuan must still urge all states and counties across the country to do a good job in spring plowing."

Zhao Zhen spoke out more than a dozen decrees in one breath. Now he has become smarter and no longer signs in writing or reads them himself. He simply lets Lu Yijian and others report and deal with them orally, which saves a lot of time.

And although his mind is focused on games, after all, he has been sitting in this position for more than ten years and is quite good at handling government affairs, so he does everything in a decent manner and no one can see any flaws.

After a while, all the government affairs were handled, and Zhao Zhen asked the Constitutional Yuan to put down the political orders and edicts that had been discussed and signed today. When he stamped the jade seal and took effect, it would be considered complete.

Seeing that it was the last moment, Zhao Zhen could continue playing the game soon. Lu Yijian finally hesitated and said: "Guan, Han Long has received a reply."

"oh?"

After hearing the news that it was Zhao Jun, Zhao Zhen reluctantly cheered up and said, "What did Han Long say?"

"Guo Chengyou has been executed elsewhere, and the people of Bozhou applauded."

Lu Yijian said cautiously.

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "Tianxi has indeed done a lot of wrong things in recent years. This result is not unexpected."

Lu Yijian didn't seem very angry when he saw Zhao Zhen, so he said, "Hanlong also sent me a painting."

Then he handed the scroll to Wang Shouzhong.

Wang Shouzhong sent the painting to Zhao Zhen's desk and spread it out in front of him.

Zhao Zhen looked at the painting in confusion and said, "Is this the scene of Da Sun interrogating Tian Xi? What is the meaning of this painting?"

"We don't know what it means."

Lu Yijian stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Guan family, I will leave now."

"go Go."

Zhao Zhen was overjoyed and pretended to get up to send them out. After they left, he hurriedly returned to the desk and opened his laptop.

Before the laptop screen turned black, he glanced at the painting on Zhao Jun again.

There were several big characters written on it, "The officials are begging for mercy."

Zhao Zhen frowned.

When I first saw this painting, I didn’t understand its meaning. When I looked at it again, I understood it instantly.

"Dasun, it's strange that I can't tell right from wrong, and can't stand on the side of truth."

Zhao Zhen sighed in his heart.

But he quickly forgot about it and started the game with the mouse.

He stuck out his tongue and smiled with his eyes.

Hey hey hey.

The game is still fun.
