"Shameless! Hateful! Should be killed! Should be killed!"

Amid the shocking roar, a crackling sound rang out, jade pens, Longweishan Sheyan, and various musical sounds scattered all over the ground, and the ink splashed from the inkstone was stained with a large area, which was so eye-catching.

Zhao Xu, who was standing in front of the desk, held his back and panted, and coughed a few words from time to time.

Cai Que, Cai Jing and Zeng Bu all bowed their heads and no one spoke.

Zhao Xu lamented repeatedly.

"Why is the world like this? Why do these people who have received the emperor's favor in the world have not thought about the favor the royal family gave them. They should be killed by scattering inside and out!"

Cai Que's mouth slightly held.

Emperor's kindness?

hehe.

Since the establishment of the Municipal Yishu, many merchants have gone bankrupt. Now there are great depressions. Although there are external causes, the internal causes are still the Municipal Yishu!

This city Yisi was not created by you, Zhao Xu, and you are so grateful to the emperor. It makes people laugh out loud when you say it.

Zhao Xu sat back on the chair and sighed deeply again.

After three years in Jiangnan, I just arrived in the first year, and the main thing was to balance all forces. Officials from the north followed him to Hangzhou, and the powerful and powerful in the south were naturally dissatisfied.

This was a time when the clothes and the clothes and the clothes and the clothes and the clothes and the southern aristocracy were found after years of confrontation.

But this time it was different. After all, Zhao Xu was the true king of the Song Dynasty, not the kind of emperor who was helped up. Moreover, he was surrounded by the only tens of thousands of imperial guards that the Song Dynasty could fight, so he had supreme authority in Hangzhou City, named Lin'an.

But this authority is only limited to Hangzhou, or to civil servants. Although the rest of the prefectures and counties have also followed the communiqués and the proclamation, the majesty of the court has gradually weakened.

For example, if it weren't for the unified bond incident in Jiangnan merchants who invested in Jiaozhi and Ryukyu, Zhao Xu wouldn't have known about it.

Zhao Xu was born in the summer of the eighth year of Qingli in the Northern Song Dynasty. Now it is the sixth year of Yuanfeng. However, at the age of 36, he has slightly frosted sideburns. Most of his white hair grew out in the past two years.

I have been having a hard time in the past two years. Although the Great Depression this year has truly shown its power, there have been quite a few signs in the past two years.

The business tax revenue cannot be increased, and the amount of money for agricultural tuition is really too little. Compared with the previous great years, the current annual income has shrunk significantly, which has caused the court to be burdened more and more.

The Western Army and Hebei Army of the Song Dynasty were defeated in the two wars (mainly incorporated by the Xixia). After coming to Jiangnan, in order to restore their strength as soon as possible, Zhao Xu spent a lot of money and recruited hundreds of thousands of troops again. The combat effectiveness was not clear, but his ability to ask for money was indeed quite strong.

From the establishment of the new imperial guards to the present, in just less than three years, the more than 100 million stakes that Zhao Xu had obtained by using the Municipal Yisi to exploit merchants has been left so far.

Now that the commercial tax is not saved, the agricultural tax is not enough at all. Now the Song Dynasty court is even more tight than the period of the Zhihe period of Renzong. Zhao Xu remembers that his hair is white.

But in this situation, let alone Zhao Xu and others, even Ouyang Bian came, he would be worried about his white hair.

Everyone only knew that the Great Depression of the Song Dynasty was due to the chaos of Shiyisi and the blockade of maritime trade, but they did not know that the reason for the Great Depression of the Song Dynasty was not that simple.

One of the reasons for the depression of the Song Dynasty was caused by Ouyang Bian's previous reforms. Although Ouyang Bian's reforms made the Song Dynasty's economy soar in a short period of time, the growth was extensive, so the arrival of a periodic economic crisis of capitalism was inevitable.

If Ouyang Bian was still in the Song Dynasty, targeted adjustments could be made, but now there is no Ouyang Bian in the Song Dynasty.

The economy is the foundation of the dynasty. In many cases, the collapse of dynasties is mostly not because of other things, but because the economy is not good.

The failure of the economy is reflected in all aspects, and the reasons affecting the economy are also caused by various aspects. There are people's displacement caused by natural disasters, some are caused by land annexation, some are caused by foreign competition, and some are caused by the king's military and military force. But in short, the collapse of the dynasty is mostly due to economic reasons.

Zhao Xu knew this, so he was so anxious that he felt angry and gray.

Under such circumstances, the merchants in Jiangnan actually used a large amount of copper coins to invest in the enemy. How could he not be furious?

"Kill! Cai Jing!"

Cai Jing's body was slightly shocked. Zhao Xu never called his ministers directly, especially his prime ministers, but today he did not hesitate to call him by his name. It is conceivable how angry Zhao Xu was.

"I'm here!"

Zhao Xu gritted his teeth and said, "Investigate, investigate strictly, find out that there are any profiteers who have surrendered to the enemy and invested in the enemy, and their homes are raided..."

"His Majesty!"

Zeng Bu suddenly shouted loudly.

Zhao Xu looked at Zeng Bu coldly.

Zeng Bu felt cold in his heart, but he said with a thorn in his mouth: "Your Majesty... you can search the house, and the first culprit can also behead him, but exterminate the clan... be cautious."

Zhao Xu took a deep breath and glanced at Zeng Bu again: "The house was confiscated, the head of the prisoner was beheaded, the prisoner's direct family members were exiled for thousands of miles, and the female family members were thrown into the church!"

Cai Jing quickly said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely find all these profiteers!"

Cai Que frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

Zhao Xu waved his hand and asked the three of them to retreat.

Cai Que returned home.

Cai Que is the prime minister, but his residence is quite simple. It is just a small courtyard in Jiangnan. It is naturally very good for ordinary families, but it is a bit simpler for the prime minister. However, Cai Que himself lives quite fun.

After returning home and having supper, Cai Que came to the study room. No one in his study room was allowed to enter, including his old wife.

Cai Que picked up his pen and wrote a few words, and a slight footsteps came. Cai Que smiled and said, "Brother Song Yang is here."

The person who came was called Cai Songyang.

Cai Songyang was dressed in a literati dress and a shabby literati suit, but his face was quite comfortable.

"Cai Xiang looks unpredictable tonight?"

Cai Songyang smiled.

Cai Que sighed and nodded: "Your Majesty is going to attack the Jiangnan merchants."

Cai Songyang's face tightened: "Take it serious?"

Cai Que nodded: "Cai Jing hosted this matter."

Cai Songyang bowed and said, "Then I won't play chess with Cai Xiang tonight."

After saying that, Cai Songyang left in a hurry.

Cai Que smiled and shook his head. This Cai Songyang was left by Ouyang Bian to exchange news. When he went back tonight, Cai Songyang had a lot of things to do.

However, Cai Que doesn't need to worry about this. He just needs to spread the news. As for how to arrange it, it's Cai Songyang's business.

"Oh, the wind is surging, it's a turbulent autumn!"
