Chapter 42 Killing pigs and sheep!
There was already a little autumnal feeling in the south of the Yangtze River, especially after the autumn rain, Zhao Xu added another piece of clothing, but he still felt very uncomfortable. The south was wet after all.
Zhao Xu looked at Cai Jing who was walking in from outside the hall, and his face did not change at all.
During this period, many people came to sue Cai Jing, saying that Cai Jing was arresting wealthy merchants and tyrants everywhere in Jiangnan in the name of investigating the treason of merchants. However, those wealthy merchants had nothing to do with the Xixia side, but those merchants were also imprisoned and punished. As for their property, they were deemed to be deemed to be deemed. Now the public is in arousing grievances, hoping that he can stop Cai Jing, and some even said that they would kill Cai Jing to apologize.
Zhao Xu just made excuses about this.
Crime?
Zhao Xu laughed twice.
If Cai Jing is taken down, who can help him make money?
Now the Western Xia is sharpening its swords and is about to move south, but the imperial treasury is about to be able to run away from the rats. It takes money to fight. If there is no money, those generals and soldiers will not be obedient.
"Your humble minister has seen Your Majesty."
Cai Jing bowed respectfully.
Zhao Xu nodded: "No need to be too polite, sit down."
Cai Jing sat half of his butt on the brocade stool and asked softly: "Your Majesty summons me to come here today, but what are the important things to ask?"
Zhao Xu nodded: "How is the progress of the arrest of traitors?"
Cai Jing was ready and took out a booklet from his arms: "I'm about to report to His Majesty."
He handed the booklet to Zhao Xu and said, "After his Majesty asked someone to investigate the traitor, he joined forces with Taichang Temple, Lin'an Government Office and other institutions to form a special task force for inspection to investigate the matter in depth.
This investigation is shocking. Your Majesty. Xixia has penetrated our Song Dynasty too deeply, especially these merchants, who have no bottom line. They not only transfer the money, but also invest the money in Jiaozhi and Liuqiu.
Even this time, Xixia planned to raise funds to attack the Song Dynasty by using the so-called bonds, but these merchants actually bought one by one. For every one million extra bonds they bought, Xixia would be able to attack the Song Dynasty with tens of thousands more soldiers!…”
"Bang!"
Zhao Xu threw the teacup on the table to the ground with anger almost distorted: "This group of damn profiteers! Should be killed! Should be killed!"
It was said that it was the same thing, but when it was true that Zhao Xu could no longer control his temper.
Cai Jing said calmly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I have arrested them. Although there are still fish that have missed the net, the sky net is vast and not leaked, so they cannot escape."
Zhao Xu nodded with a gloomy face: "How much property has been retrieved?"
Cai Jing smiled slightly: "The total value of 56 profitable merchants was investigated, including gold, silver, various jewelry, calligraphy and painting, farms, shops, copper coins, etc., with a total value of 15,372 knots."
Zhao Xu took a breath, his face became much better, and he said in a gentle voice: "Thank you for your hard work in Cai Qing's family."
Cai Jing was about to be modest, but he heard Zhao Xu say, "Don't stop the Cai Qing family, eliminate all evil things. These people are hidden among the people of the Song Dynasty, which is extremely harmful. Cai Qing family wants to dig out them all."
Cai Jing's heart trembled and he quickly said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
After Cai Jing chatted with Zhao Xu for a while, Cai Jing said goodbye. The autumn wind at the door blew, making Cai Jing's head clear and his heart cold.
Cai Jing thought he was cruel enough, but Zhao Xu was greedy. Jiangnan, especially the rich people in Hangzhou, were all taken away. Zhao Xu would not give up. If he continued to take over like this, the entire Jiangnan would be withered.
However, Jiangnan has now withered.
Cai Jing sighed slightly.
However, when Cai Jing laughed again when he remembered the tens of thousands of acres of land he had added, more than a dozen gardens, and gold, silver and jewelry that could not be installed in the cellar at home.
"You make big money, I make small money, either!"
The trees in the distance are yellow and radiant, as pleasant as a mountain of copper coins.
...
Bianjing.
Autumn in the north is even colder. Ouyang Bian has already put on a cotton jacket. He has always been afraid of the cold. Moreover, with the autumn wind, the weather is extremely dry. His lips have been cracked. Fu Jianjia quickly took out the cold-proof skin care products and rubbed it on Ouyang Bian, but his cheeks were red, like a monkey's butt, which looked quite gratifying.
Ouyang Bian was also quite happy at this time.
"Haha, Zhao Xu, you are killing chickens to get eggs. Although the economy is withering now, you are still a hero after you have been overcome. But now you have harvested these capable capitalists and consumed the foundation of the Song Dynasty. I, Daxia, will never destroy you, and I have really treated you with such distractions."
The news was sent back by Zhou Yun.
Su Zhe smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I used to think that Zhao Xu was smart, but now he has made many tricks, and he really misjudged the person."
Ouyang Bian smiled and shook his head and said, "Zhao Xu is still the same Zhao Xu, but this is just his unyielding.
The economic crisis is not all his problem. Of course, the so-called Shiyishi really harms the people. If it weren't for me, this harmful thing would have come out long ago, but my stop was just a delay of a few years.
In this situation, if Zhao Xu wants to resist us, he has to collect money, otherwise, as long as the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty, who would have no money?
Therefore, Zhao Xu had to make money from some places. So, the merchants fell into his eyes. The landlords were not easy to move. Basically, there were civil servants behind the landlords. If he dared to touch the local gentry landlords, his head would be placed on my case tomorrow.
So, the group of fat and teethless merchants fell into his eyes, and they ran away when they were striking, and if they were not striking, they could only be slaughtered as pigs.
Zhou Yunrang said that Jiuzhou Island has taken in hundreds of families in Jiangnan, and that kid is very happy now.
As soon as he sold the land on Jiuzhou Island at a high price, the consumption power of more than 100,000 people was extremely amazing. These days, he transported a large amount of supplies from the Mizhou Industrial Park to supply these merchants.
Secondly, the arrival of these merchants has made Kyushu Island more prosperous. The more stable the Beiyang Group's foundation in Kyushu Island is, and the Japanese are still thinking about taking Kyushu Island back every day."
Su Zhe said: "Why should we concentrate our strength at this time? Although the Song Dynasty is in difficulty, now that Zhao Xu cuts his arm, there may be a counterattack."
Ouyang Bian nodded. This is true. Zhao Xu's house search was at least 100 million yuan. After killing dozens of monopoly enterprises, he used military procurement to stimulate the vitality of the entire market. It is really possible to overcome this difficulty.
