Inheriting the Song Dynasty

In 1127 AD, the Northern Song Dynasty fell. Immediately, the ninth imperial prince, Zhao Gou, ascended the throne in Shangqiu amidst widespread anticipation, inheriting the Song imperial line and r...

Chapter 39: Zaocheng

For example, Fang La was a famous evil cult in Chinese history, the predecessor of the Ming Cult, and the Flower and Stone Gang destroyed the southeast. Zhong Xiang Yang Mo, who was pacified at the beginning of the year, also used local religion and fishery insurance business and took advantage of the governance loophole of Dongting Lake to organize people. As for Qianzhou, it seems that it has been impossible to implement governance, forming an area with a tradition of anarchy.

In other words, although it sounds cruel, the fact is that although the taxes in the South are very heavy at the moment, it is impossible for them to reorganize again in a short period of time just to oppose the Northern Expedition and form an uprising like Fang La or Zhong Xiang... because there is no one to organize them.

However, Zhao Jiu, on the other hand, could not understand why he should be wary of those officials who had resigned.

After all, if productivity limits the degree of organization of ordinary people, what about the resigned officials? They also have to write a letter and it takes a month to be delivered, right? With such efficiency, can they set up a southern bureaucratic landlord group?

This so-called large vested interest group that was forcibly created according to class in ancient times... In the era when Zhao Jiu traveled through time, even low-end online novels were disdainful of writing about it. Instead, high-end strategy games had to create some void groups due to the way the games were played.

Zhao Jiu himself had also thought about this matter. The reason why he had to purge these people today was because he had figured it out in the harem before. The reason why these people were able to form public opinion and political power before was because they used the Zhao Song central bureaucracy system, which was a ready-made, largest, most convenient and most authoritative organizational system, to complete communication and organization.

And now, they've resigned.

So, I would like to ask, how else can they hinder the policy?

As if he had seen through Emperor Zhao's confusion, Lü Haowen, who had been silent all this time, stepped out slowly and bowed his head to him, "Emperor, since the struggle between the old and new parties, the elders have used the big cities as their bases to study academic subjects, write classics and history, and the young and strong have traveled back and forth to give lectures and travel for study. It is still very easy to connect them together."

Li Guang sighed and Zhao Jiu was startled.

The Prime Minister Zhang Jun also bowed his head and further revealed something: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry to say that you were a little impatient today. It's okay in the Central Plains and Guanxi, but we must prevent the resigned officials from going to the southeast and merging with the Taoism in the southeast, especially the Cheng brothers and the Luo school."

Zhao Jiu nodded blankly.

However, the official pondered for a long time under the complicated gazes of several top officials in the hall, but finally shook his head: "Mr. Lu's original school said that practice is the first principle. If today's behavior, national strategy, and even the principles of the original school are correct, we will eventually prove them one by one and make them convinced... I will not erect a monument to the Shaoxing party members, nor will I ban Luoxue, and I will not even interfere with their freedom to study and seek truth, but I will definitely let Yang Yizhong put some effort in the southeast and monitor him a little... In the final analysis, we must fight openly and don't use some violent means, otherwise it will go against the purpose of today."

Everyone below sighed at the same time... I don't know if it was out of pity or relief, and then there was a rare moment of silence.

"To put it in detail, we need to fill the vacant positions, wait for news from Qingzhou, and then discuss the restoration of the southern economy and the reduction of the burden on the people." Prime Minister Zhao Ding made a formal summary, but at this point, he became serious again. "Your Majesty... Excuse me, I have one last question."

"Speak, my husband."

"The emperor is kindhearted and wants to do everything for the people in the south, but if we are powerless, we will not be able to do both in a short period of time." Zhao Ding bowed his head. "By then, the economic recovery in the south and the reduction of the burden on the people will still conflict with the crossing of the river to the north, which means that the finances will still be stretched... What should we do?"

Several generals and officers frowned, thinking that there was something wrong with Mr. Zhao. What else could they do? The emperor was so heroic during the day, have you forgotten?

However, Zhao Jiu in the hall gave an unexpected answer without thinking: "I have thought a lot in the harem these days... My goal is not to negotiate peace, but it is not that we cannot slow down. If it really comes to the situation you said, then drag it out! For example, the fertile land in Jingdong is next to the capital. Not only must we take it, but we can also enrich ourselves by taking it. We must take it back quickly, but northern Shaanxi can slow down..."

At this point, the civil and military officials in the hall could clearly feel the tone of Zhao Guanjia sinking: "Then we will continue to fight the Jin people in northern Shaanxi, and let the various tribes in Guanxi take turns to fight Huo Nu. We will only fight in rotation without using large troops. We will see whether we or the Jin people will consume more. If they voluntarily give up, we will go to Shaanxi to continue the rotation. I don't believe they can keep giving up... Anyway, we will wait until we have enough strength to cross the river to the north to attack."

After saying that, Zhao Jiu looked directly at a person in the hall, and the others all looked at this person along with the emperor, and it was none other than Han Shizhong, the Prince of Yan'an.

Han Shizhong laughed awkwardly, and finally stepped out of the line with his hands on his waist, then he bowed his hands and said the first sentence of the night: "Since the Huai River, the children of northern Shaanxi have trusted the emperor like a minister. They all think that the one who can make us return home must be the emperor!"

"It's the same with the children of Hebei." Li Qiong also quickly bowed his head and stepped out of the line again.

"The people of Hedong are the same." Zhao Ding, who turned around to look at Han Shizhong, also turned around and saluted in the same way.

Zhao Jiu felt relieved for a moment... He could only say that it was worth the four years of hard work, plus that incident during the day.
