Chapter 358 Baojin Tower Meeting (2)(2/2)
Although these powerful people in Bianjing are greedy and extravagant, they are really connected with the Zhao officials.
Zhao Xu remembered that during the Jingkang period, Zhao Ji and his son collected money to exchange gold for soldiers to retreat.
Many people took out the gold and silver from their homes.
Although it may not be all, it is at least many times better than before the fall of the Ming Dynasty, when Chongzhen asked his relatives and nobles to donate money, but the father-in-law only contributed 5,000 taels.
In other words, Zhao Ji must have half the strength of Chongzhen.
The money raised was used as a reward to encourage soldiers to defend the city, and those with meritorious deeds were promised to be married to the clan, county lord, princess or even the princess!
How could Bianjing City be captured by the Jin soldiers?
When King Qin's army from the south reaches Bianjing, it is not impossible to push back.
After comforting the four noble disciples, Zhao Xu looked at the civil servants and officials who could hardly bear it anymore.
"Please don't be impatient..."
"Today, I will work with you to find out the reason why Bianjing invaded the street, and come up with a proper solution..."
Only then did Fan Chunren and others restrain their desire to remonstrate with the emperor.
However, when they looked at Zhao Xu, who was so close to his foreign relative Xungui, they seemed to have some temper.
Su Zhe couldn't hold it back and said: "Your Majesty, isn't the invasion of Bianjing Street caused by some people coveting the profits of merchants?"
As he spoke, he looked at the noble disciples.
Obviously, Su Che looked down upon the parasites in these countries.
Even some are disgusted.
This is normal, this is how scholar-bureaucrats behave.
This is especially true for people like Su Zhe, who has spent his whole life studying scholarship and has had little contact with scholar-bureaucrats in the marketplace.
Zhao Xu nodded: "As you said!"
“But is that all there is to Trespass?”
"If you judge a person by his appearance, you will lose his son Yu, not to mention the millions of people in Bianjing City?"
"I think we have to get to the root of the matter first and understand the root of the matter!"
Zhao Xu's attitude worked wonders at this time.
Because he behaved very calmly from beginning to end and was very respectful to the ministers.
Although this made these ministers become bolder and bolder in front of him day by day.
Like what Su Che said just now, he would never dare to say it in front of Zhao Xu's father.
But this allowed room for discussion on most topics in front of Zhao Xu, and the ministers were willing to discuss it with him.
No, he didn't even have the chance to open his mouth, so he just strangled it in his mouth.
This is also the reason why many ministers always believe that Zhao Xu is like Renmiao.
Because that was how Renmiao got along with the ministers back then.
The only difference is probably that this young official loves to hold grudges, has a strong desire for revenge, and has a good memory.
Therefore, even Su Che, who had the toughest attitude, lowered his head at this time and said: "I respectfully listen to your Majesty's teachings..."
Zhao Xu smiled and nodded, then looked at Cai Jing: "Kaifeng Mansion!"
"Your Majesty is here..." Cai Jing stood up at the right time and bowed: "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
"Please tell me and all your beloved ministers and ministers about the current situation of Bianjing City and the intrusion of Bianjing City into the streets..."
"promise……"
Ah!~ My brain is going crazy again, the title is wrong, but I don’t give you the right to change it!
