Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"My father... my father said it was Wang Qingzhi, and said there was Gyeonggi Road...the Gyeonggi Road Transit Department Yamen was walking around..."

Zhao Ning's face was completely gloomy.

Just to put it bluntly, how dare a small businessman ignore the imperial court's decree casually.

It's this time, and some officials are still thinking about taking the opportunity to make a fortune!

Zhao Ning got off his horse and walked towards a thatched hut in front of him.

The inside of this thatched house is muddy, and there are insects crawling on the ground in summer.

Inside, a dog leg of Wang Baozheng was holding a rough clay pot, pouring some rice left in it into his bag.

Seeing that Zhao Ning came in with someone, he was a little at a loss.

Zhao Ning waved his hand, and the man was kicked out a few times.

The family in the thatched cottage sat on the wooden bed, not daring to make a sound.

A little girl about 8 years old curled up in the arms of her parents, looking at Zhao Ning and the group in fear.

Zhao Ning picked up the cloth bag, poured the rice back, and looked around.

It is very simple, and there is not much oil in the house.

His heart was full of grief.

The ensuing war was brutal. He also wanted to build a deep defense line on the banks of the Yellow River, and he also wanted to mobilize the masses and establish a large-scale logistics system.

He also thought about recruiting Ma back and letting him go to Hebei to organize a guerrilla team.

Based on the current virtues of the bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty, how can a logistics force be efficiently organized?

no!Go back and kill!

go back now!

Zhao Ning took a deep breath and said gently to the little girl, "Don't be afraid, it's okay, it's okay, there will be food soon."

After speaking, he went out.

To be precise, it is Gao Lian who is most afraid now.

At this time, the Imperial City Secretary had not had time to investigate, but was bumped into by the emperor.

Seeking Taiwei Gao's psychological shadow area?

Chapter 87 Do you guys like making money in the country so much?

But it cannot be generalized.

After all, the recruitment expansion of the Imperial City Division has only just begun, and the new recruits will not be able to get started immediately.

Playing games still needs to be upgraded, let alone recruiting people to do a lot of training in reality.

After Zhao Ning walked out, he glanced around, Gao Qiu's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, commanding people, and immediately scattered and rushed over, dragging those guys who broke into the houses out.

"Go! Go! Stop screaming! Ouch! You little bastard, how dare you bite me! I'll kick you to death!"

Behind the big tree, Wang Baozheng lowered his voice, yelled at the dog, and even picked up a stick and started fighting with the dog.

The dog was also pitifully thin, had been whipped several times, and ran away in a hurry.

Gao Yu looked over, found Wang Baozheng, and immediately had someone bring him up.

"What are you doing sneaking around behind a tree?"

Wang Baozheng hurriedly said: "This official, so-and-so is just passing by, so-and-so is just passing by."

The arrested dog legs of Wang Baozheng hurriedly said: "Wang Baozheng, you ordered us to go in and grab food, you can't leave us alone."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Wang Baozheng jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, wishing to go over and tear those people's mouths off.

"Yo, so it's Baozheng!" Maybe because of the fear in his heart, Gao Lian acted extra hard, with an attitude of "I'm going to chop you bastards into pieces today".

He asked Baozheng, "Are those your people?"

"No... not..."

Gao Taiwei laughed, every pore on his face exuded a gloomy hostility: "If you lie, you have to pull out your tongue."

Wang Baozheng said: "I am a subordinate official of the imperial court, and if you beat me, you are fighting against the imperial court."

Baozheng, equivalent to the village head, is not an official, but an official.

There was no difference between the two in the pre-Qin period, but they were distinguished in the Tang and Song Dynasties.

The Ninth Grade Sesame Official, that is also an official, was appointed by the imperial court.

That's why it's called the court order official.

And officials are subordinate officials.

For example, in the Lingshi of the Han Dynasty, the salary of the staff employed by the county government was reported by the county government according to the staffing system, and then distributed uniformly.

Baozheng in the Song Dynasty was a kind of subordinate staff.

The lowest local officials in the Song Dynasty were county magistrates and county magistrates, which were equivalent to deputy county magistrates.

As for the people who manage the village, they are actually people like Wang Baozheng.

They are generally rich and powerful in the village, elected by the county magistrate to be responsible for conscription, tax collection and so on.

As for some clerks in the county government, they may be scholars who failed the ranking.

The status of subordinate staff in the official system is very low, and officials look down on them and treat them with colored glasses.

However, they can be regarded as personnel employed by the imperial court anyway, and ordinary people must not beat them at will, or torture them.

Moreover, in the Song Dynasty, there was a general phenomenon of "strong officials and weak officials", which is a later story.

Gao Qiu said: "Come here, cut off this guy's tongue and let him use the notes!"

"Yes!" Immediately, two people came up, ready to cut off Wang Baozheng's tongue.

Wang Baozheng was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground: "Official, Mr. Li asked me to do these things. I can't do anything about it. I'm just a petty official. If he said no, he broke my legs."

"You are a subordinate official of the government, he is the son of a merchant, dare to break your leg?"

Wang Baozheng rolled his eyes, and said again: "He has a backer behind him, we dare not offend him, we are just a petty official, the officials spare our lives."

Gao Qiu looked at Zhao Guan's house, as if asking for advice.

Zhao Ning said, "Take them back to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for interrogation."

"Yes."

Originally, I was in a good mood recently. Zhang Jun was arranged to go to Shaanxi, and the strategic containment of Shaanxi was a start. Li Gang was discussing the strategy of the Eastern Front.

The salaries of the first batch of troops were distributed, as were the salaries of officials in Kaifeng Prefecture.

Taxes and food are slowly entering Beijing.

This thing is getting straightened out step by step.

But the current incident once again made Zhao Ning feel a kind of anger that "there are people who want to harm me".

One by one, they all tried to send me to the north to live in a thatched cottage!

It was boring to look around again, so he returned to the capital with a group of officials in front of the palace.

Hundreds of mighty people, riding horses, attracted sideways all the way.

Zhao Ning had just returned to the palace, changed his clothes, and went to Wende Hall, Wang Huaiji said: "Officials, in the morning, King Yun came to ask for an audience. He left when you were not here."

"What is he here for?"

Wang Huaiji said: "It is said that it is related to the matter of King Pu. King Pu, many clans are worried recently. His Highness King Yun also wants to discuss this matter with the officials. He is worried that it will cause disputes within the royal family."

The impact of King Pu's death will never end here.

After all, King Pu is the great-great-great-grandson of Taizong, wearing the hat of a relative of the emperor, and also a prince and prince.

In ancient times, it was a world of families, and the whole country was composed of families, large and small.

They knew about the shady things inside the royal family, and when they broke out, and even killed someone, everyone couldn't sit still.

King Yun just came here to test the tone, but found that Zhao Ning was not there, left a message, and left.

He probably went to find Zhao Gou, and the clan probably wanted to go to Zhao Gou to preside over this matter now. After all, Zhao Gou had just returned from a great service and had the highest prestige in the clan.

Based on King Yun's pissing nature, it is estimated that he is trying to win over Zhao Gou, and those nobles in Tianhuang are probably going to win over Zhao Gou as well, using Zhao Gou as a shield.

In Zhao Gou's mind, he probably wondered whether he could get something out of them.

It would be bad if they were allowed to form a united front.

Right now, Zhao Ning is not going to deal with the clan affairs.

After all, what happened in Zhuxian Town today is more urgent and important. It involves people's livelihood, as well as the center line defense in the next few months.

In the inner city of Bianjing City, at the intersection of Yiqiao Street and Chongmingmen Street, there is a house with the word "Li's House" written on the lintel.

This is the home of wealthy businessman Li Huan.

In ancient times, there was a strictly hierarchical society, and not everyone's residence could be called a "mansion".

In the Song Dynasty, only the two mansions, that is, the place where the ministers lived and the place where the prince lived, could be called "fu".

The rest of the officials are all called "houses".

The same is true of the dwellings of the common people.

Moreover, in the early Song Dynasty, there were restrictions on the size and shape of common people's houses.

However, with the internal stability of the Great Song Dynasty, the prosperity of the country and the people's peace, the business became more and more developed, and the life became more and more extravagant. Merchants rose one after another, and some old rules were broken.

For example, this house can live in the inner city, and those who live in this area are basically luxury houses.

This location is equivalent to the Third Ring Road of Beijing in the 21st century.

Any house costs more than 1000 guan (about [-] million).

Slightly larger ones reach 20 guan, and even 1 guan (about [-] million yuan).

At this time, a man in silk and satin was welcomed in.

Li Huan had a smile on his face: "Master Zhang is here, and the humble house is full of splendor."

Zhang Song looked around and said, "Brother Li's house is so unique."

"Where there is, there is nothing, Mr. Zhang has won the prize."

Soon, Li Huanping backed away.

Zhang Song said: "I came here this time to deliver a message to you based on the order from above. According to rumors, the imperial court is preparing for troops. You have also seen today's newspaper. Li Gang is about to go to Hebei East Road, while Hebei, Hedong The general system and envoys of the land have also been determined."

"Oh?" Li Huan's eyes lit up.

As long as the imperial court fights wars, businessmen like them will definitely make money.

Chapter 88 This is one of the basic national conditions of the Song Dynasty

The court fights, and the merchants make money?

That's right, in the Song Dynasty, as long as there was a war, businessmen would definitely make money.

The Song Dynasty was a very magical dynasty in ancient China.

In the Song Dynasty, there were many taboos (state-owned enterprises), as well as a lot of bureaucratic capital.

Starting from the prince, to the Sangong and the prime minister, down to the county magistrate and county lieutenant, they all have a fanatical pursuit of business.

For example, real estate investment in Tokyo City, smuggling of salt, resale of tea, grain, herbs, etc.

For example, during the Song Renzong period, Zhang Kejiu, a transshipment envoy in the south of the Yangtze River, "smuggled more than ten thousand catties of salt in the ministry."

In March of the fourth year of Qingli, Jiangxi's transshipment envoys moved to the prefecture. "Every salt banknote at the end of the city will be paid one-third of every hundred pennies. Li Yuqing accepts bribes through Jizhou and is exempt from iron payment."

It can be said that the salt officials and all kinds of transport officials seek benefits by virtue of the privilege of being close to the water and getting the moon first.

When history entered the Song Dynasty, fertile land was developed on a large scale, the population soared, the court attached great importance to water conservancy, and water transportation developed unprecedentedly, the overall economic scale soared.

The country makes the cake bigger and bigger, the overall GDP is getting higher and higher, but the people are getting poorer and poorer!

Why?

It is all because officials compete for profits with the people and collude with wealthy businessmen, further forming a privileged monopoly.
