Chapter 662 Zhao Xu as an investigator(1/2)
Yelu Ju didn't return to Duting Post from the mansion in Yimenfang until noon the next day.
Last night, he and Xing Shu were drunk in the brothel.
Finally, it was Xing Shu who sent someone to send him back to the "home" in Yimenfang.
Recalling Li Shishi's gentle and considerate care and service last night.
Yelu Ju was relaxed and happy, and even walked a little lighter.
However, he had just walked to the yard that was arranged for him, and his good mood disappeared in an instant.
Because Yelu Yan was standing at the door gloomy and looking at him coldly.
"Jiangdu..."
"Why didn't you return all night?" Yelu Yan asked him coldly.
Yelu Ju sneered in his heart, glanced at Yelu Yan disdainfully, then bowed to Nanjing and said, "I am ordered by the emperor and have an important task, so I don't need to explain anything to the bachelor!"
"Emperor's Decree?" Yelu Yan hesitated for a moment.
"Ha!" Yelu Ju smiled: "Haha, did Your Majesty not explain before Your resignation?"
"That's right..." He sarcastically looked at Yelu Yan: "The bachelor is not an official in the North Court, so it's normal for His Majesty to not give any explanation!"
Yelu Yan choked and snorted coldly: "The emperor will write to His Majesty to report the incident of Jiedu’s resignation all night!"
This is threatening him.
How could Yelu Ju be scared? He shrugged and said, "The bachelor will write to you if he wants to write to you!"
"I was ordered to act and have a clear conscience!"
Looking at Yelu Ju's expression, Yelu Yan's expression changed constantly, and finally chose to bow and bow: "Since that's the case, the official will not disturb you."
Yelu Ju replied coldly, watching Yelu Yan's figure disappear from sight, then spat and cursed, "What's the matter?"
"He wouldn't think that if he was given the emperor's surname, he would be the same as King Wen Zhong?"
King Wen Zhong is the name of the palace tent after Han Delang's death.
Han Delang is an iconic figure in the history of the Liao Kingdom.
With her assistance and support, Empress Dowager Chengtian completed centralization and reform.
Because of his contribution, the Shengzong gave his country a surname and a name Longyun, making him the first person to be granted by Han officials from Liao and Han.
At the same time, he was also the first person to be appointed as the Privy Council envoy of the Northern Court as a Han official and held the military power of the Liao Kingdom.
He was the first person to be the Prime Minister as a Han Chinese.
Since Han Derang, the Han tyrants of Youyan have completed the integration with the Liao Kingdom.
But there is only one King Wen Zhong!
After all, not everyone can have a childhood sweetheart like King Wen Zhong.
Not everyone can sleep with the Queen Mother while holding power, and let the little emperor be regarded as his father and brother, sincere wishes.
Even after his death, he buried him with Empress Dowager Chengtian's tomb.
Let your parents and mother's lover sleep with you.
As soon as Yelu Yan left, a Khitan nobleman walked out of the yard, came to Yelu Ju, bowed his hand, and said weakly: "Jingdu, what if that villain really wrote to the emperor of Nanjing..."
"The small and medium-sized people in the court have been attacked again..."
Yelu Ju said fearlessly, "Don't worry, the uncle and the two empresses will say good things for me!"
"Besides, when we were in the Southern Dynasty, we were brave enough to work hard for national affairs, and His Majesty also knew about it."
"I did bear multiple emperor destinies!"
"That's how..." the nobleman suddenly became happy.
However, he was happy for a while and then lowered his head: "After all, this villain is here, so many things we can't do without ease!"
This time, the yamen who accompanied them were very distressed.
Not as happy as last time.
Na Yelu Yan, therefore, within the mission, the heavens were angry and the people were resentful.
Many people say that this is purely a piece of rat shit and ruined the porridge!
"He won't be proud for long." Yelu Ju said viciously.
"I plan to write a letter to Nanjing to impeach him in the Southern Dynasty, obstruct state affairs, and interfere with purchasing!"
When the nobleman heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately said, "The officials also want to write a letter to impeach this beast!"
In order to squeeze into this mission, Tian Kejian Lian used countless favors and even managed many people at home.
But I didn't expect that I met Yelu Yan, a naughty young man.
It's really hateful!
"Good!" Yelu Ju nodded and admired: "We worked hard for the country, but the villain refused to enjoy the fruits of his life, and even interfered with it."
Speaking of this, Yelu Ju untied her clothes in a little annoyed manner.
With Yelu Yan here, many things cannot be done well.
He and others will also become very difficult to raise the purchase price.
If the purchase price is not raised, how can you take kickbacks?
Everyone has no kickbacks, how can the uncle get the money?
How can the uncle in the palace be filial to the empress, concubine and princess Jianning if he can’t get the money?
How can the two empresses and His Highness be respected by His Highness?
Your Majesty is unhappy. One of these ministers is counted as one, but they are all unfaithful!
Then why can't Yelu Yan understand this?
...
Funing Hall, East Pavilion, quiet interior.
The charcoal plate in the warm gaze was burning, and the flames reflected the screen.
As a result, the temperature in this quiet room becomes warm and comfortable.
Zhao Xu was wearing a cotton mask made by the military weapon bureau, sitting upright on the mattress, listening to Xing Shu’s report not far away in front of him.
Next to Xing Shu, Zhang Heng, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
After listening to Xing Shu’s report, Zhao Xu pondered for a moment and said, “Thank you for your hard work.”
"I dare not say that I have worked hard for the court." Xing Shu lowered his head and replied.
"It seems that there is a shortage of money and money in the Beilu Kingdom." Zhao Xu said happily.
He looked at Zhang Heng and asked, "Zhang Aiqing, has the trade between Beilu and our dynasty changed this year?"
Zhang Heng shook his head and replied: "Your Majesty, according to the report from the officials of various municipalities, the purchase of goods purchased by the Beilu from the border market this year has not decreased, but has increased a lot."
"And all prefectures in Hebei have reported that cases of smuggling copper coins across the border are becoming more and more frequent."
Zhao Xu nodded and said, "The money shortage in Beilu Kingdom is probably much worse than expected!"
"Maybe, some places have returned to the category of barter!" Zhao Xu commented jokingly.
In Zhao Xu's eyes, the current situation of the Liao Kingdom is actually very dangerous.
On the one hand, the Treaty of Jiaozi of the Song and Liao Dynasties turned the annual monies that should have been paid to the Liao people into Jiaozi.
The procurement site changed from the border to Bianjing.
This change directly caused the Liao people to lose the most important means of payment in the border trade between the two countries in the past - in the past, the Liao Kingdom used almost all the silver earned from annual monies and most of the profits in silk trade on border market trade.
Now, with the opening of the direct trade procurement channel of Bianjing-Liao people.
The powerful and powerful people of the Liao Kingdom used most of the Jiaozi they obtained to purchase luxury goods.
But the demand for commodity in Youyan area has not disappeared!
As a result, the trade in the border between the Song and Liao dynasties became the financial blood loss in the Youyan area of the Liao Kingdom.
A large amount of copper coins were siphoned to the Song Dynasty by trade.
This will inevitably lead to a more serious money shortage in Liao Kingdom.
Zhang Heng said that the smuggling of copper coins reported by various prefectures in Hebei is becoming increasingly serious, and frequent occurrence is evidence.
At this time, the Liao people began to attack Goryeo.
War is together, gold is ten thousand taels.
In order to maintain the war, the Liao people would inevitably draw troops, strong and food from the Youyan area.
At the same time, in order to reward the army, wealth will be transferred in large quantities.
It's like a pond with two large water pumps pumping water at the same time.
No matter how big the pond is, it will be drained!
What's more, the pond has less water storage capacity!
