Chapter 217 There is only one truth
Liu Qi finally decided to take a day off before going back...
This bastard lived such a free life that even Emperor Ji could hug him from the left and right, and slid him one by one on the bed. However, he was so tired that he was running around like a dog in the summer. He felt a serious imbalance in his heart. He had already confirmed that he could resolve it peacefully, so it would be better for two days.
Finally he decided to take a day off in Julu.
However, he didn't know that it was because of his lazy days that the Song Dynasty fell into a serious political crisis.
Kaifeng.
The former Imperial College, and the current Kaifeng Commune Council.
A new four-wheeled carriage stopped outside the door, then the car door opened, the pedal was lowered, Huahua walked out of the inside with the fan in her hand, walked in high spirits while pedestrians entering and leaving, and then headed straight to her office. Her aura was so strong that she looked like a strong woman in a workplace.
"Director!"
The female secretary greeted her.
This is the director of Kaifeng Commune and the top leader in theory. Although he is actually not in charge, as a symbol of the highest power here, when Wang Yue was not in Kaifeng, her identity was supreme, and because of her other identity, there were still many believers among the people. Although Wang Yue forbids her to spread the mess, it would be enough to change it, such as using Wang Yue's myth. Anyway, he was originally mythical, and then this woman fully utilized her family's ancestral skills to fabricate a system with Wang Yue as the core.
She is good at doing this.
Although Wang Dashuai himself does not advocate this feudal superstition, since everyone likes it, there is no need for him to interfere.
As for the real management of Kaifeng Commune, there is a general manager elected by Kaifeng Commune!
Over the past six months, these unruly people who are magnificent in the inner city have lived a very happy life and have almost stepped into free capitalism in one step.
Various bans from the imperial court do not exist here at all.
Private smelting, private brewing, private printing, private salt, private tea, private milling, and even private casting, they even openly create arms. Even the primary plate armor forged by water hammers appeared, which was the kind that Wang Yue wore. As for the three-eyed gun that Wang Yue originally envisioned, it was no longer rare at this time. Some people even took this to Jinmingchi and other places to fight wild ducks.
What free capitalism brings is the barbaric development of industry and commerce.
This can be said to be without suspense. Kaifeng, which was originally a strong industrial and commercial atmosphere. After completely lifting all kinds of restrictions, it has already rushed to the free market during the European Renaissance. Even many merchants in the inner city moved to the outer city to operate to avoid various bans from the court. The prodigal merchants, smugglers around Kaifeng, and various unruly people defined by the court, regard this place as their holy land and sell it in a public place.
Kaifeng Mansion still has no choice.
After all, according to the previous agreement, Kaifeng Prefecture has no law enforcement power in the outer city.
It is useless to negotiate with Kaifeng Commune. People say they will investigate it strictly. As for how to investigate it strictly and when it will be found, it has nothing to do with Kaifeng Prefecture. Even if these transactions are in public, the results will definitely not be found in the end.
It's awesome Kaifeng Commune.
After all, all these bring real taxes.
Therefore, the Kaifeng Commune is currently in sufficient financial resources. Not only are all employees high-paying, but even the patrol team has already worn new armor and carried three-eyed guns every day to scatter the market. It is called maintaining public security, which actually prevents Kaifeng Prefecture from crossing the border and enforcing the law.
Of course, it was Wang Yue who was really fatter.
Kaifeng Commune knew very well who would protect good life, so after deducting all the taxes, all the rest was deposited into the bank opened by Wang Yue, and Yan Gong was allowed to use it. In addition, Kaifeng Commune only allowed this bank. In the end, Wang Yue actually became the mastermind behind the Kaifeng Commune economy. In short, this freak of this era is quickly showing the power of the new system, and even the right to speak has begun to control. Those tabloids, which were originally gray, began to mock the emperor and criticize the government.
Because the stereotype printing efficiency is too low, movable type printing that was not originally promoted has become popular among private printing workshops at this time.
After all, this is fast.
Perfect for newspapers that require fast pace.
"Director, this is all the new newspapers released today, and the intelligence team summarized by the intelligence team. Which one do you look at first?"
The female secretary said respectfully.
"Is there any news about the Yan Gong army?"
Huahua said.
While talking, she picked up a crystal monocular myopia mirror.
She was a little bit myopia, so the craftsman who looked for grinding magnifying glasses specially grinded myopia glasses. There were already magnifying glasses in the Song Dynasty. The earliest record of the user was Shi Wang, an official during the reign of Zhezong. By the Ming Dynasty, reading glasses were no longer rare. There were only a few people wearing them in the Fanhui Tu in Nandu, so Wang Yue could easily obtain theories.
"This morning there was an expedition to submit the report to the Privy Council. Our people could not copy it, but they memorized the content. This was sent by him. The army arrived in Julu yesterday. Yan Gong stationed troops in Daluze, and Julu County Magistrate abandoned the city and fled."
The female secretary said.
"Hmph, this conscience-less person finally wants to give up his women!"
The director said with a very resentful woman's charm.
The female secretary quickly bowed her head...
“When is this?”
Then the director picked up an inconspicuous piece of information and said.
"Back to the director, this is the list of the officials in the inner city hired ships to go south in the past two days."
The female secretary said.
"Why are there so many? I remember that the previous copy was less than half of the past two days, but how did it suddenly double in just two days?"
The director said in confusion.
"I think it's because the army is getting closer, and these people are anxious."
The female secretary said carefully.
In fact, the wealthy and nobles in the city are transferring their property and even their families these days, and many of them simply abandoned their posts and fled. It happened to be the canal transport season. The canal ships transporting canals from all over the country were hired by these guys to escape. After all, everyone could see that the current situation was not good, and the demon Wang Yue was obviously unable to stop him. If he came to sweep the game again, everyone would really vomit blood.
As for these people, Huahua has records here every day. Whether they escape or transfer their property, they will eventually have to go to the city gate controlled by Kaifeng Commune.
Obstruction is indeed unruly.
But taking the opportunity to blackmail is essential.
He even arranged someone to rob him outside...
OK, that's totally OK.
But the number of ships hired suddenly surged in the past two days, and it is certain that the increase was up. After all, Wang Yue was getting closer, but the overturning surge was unreasonable. After all, the number of nobles in the city was limited, so such a surge was obviously abnormal. The only explanation is that someone needed a lot of ships, or someone who needed a lot of ships wanted to escape...
"Director."
A female secretary suddenly ran in.
"What's the matter?"
The director said.
"Director, the palace maids we bought in Huayang Palace sent a letter saying that people have been secretly packing countless large boxes onto the pleasure boat in Jinglongjiang these evenings. She looked for an opportunity last night to peek at a box, which was filled with gold, silver and money. Moreover, some of the favorite calligraphy and paintings of the Supreme Emperor these days have been removed from the original hanging places, and they should have been packed on these ships. It can be said that almost all the useful boats in Jinglongjiang are loaded with things.
The person in charge of this matter was Deng Shanxun, the most trusted eunuch of the Supreme Emperor, and an old palace maid who was suddenly favored in the past six months.
This person has almost no one except the Supreme Emperor.
But it doesn't look like a woman, but it's quite similar to the missing Cai You."
The female secretary said.
Huahua had already started to bribe the palace maids and eunuchs in Genyue. In fact, it was not just Genyue, the imperial palace, and the palaces of ministers such as the royal palace, which had been bribed insiders. Of course, there were also spies who were bribed by the court, and even double-faced spies who collected money from both ends. After all, in a city, this kind of thing could not be avoided. Huahua and the court have been playing spy games like this for more than half a year, and even her main job was this, and she was already Director Dai of Wang Yue.
"Jinglongjiang?"
Huahua suddenly laughed.
Jinglongjiang is the moat of the inner city, but when Genyue was built, it was enclosed in it and expanded into the lake water inside Genyue. Therefore, the pleasure boats in Jinglongjiang can directly enter the moat of the inner city, and the moat of the inner city is connected to the Bian River.
“Where docking these hired ships?”
She asked suddenly.
"Guanyinyuan Bridge."
The female secretary said.
That is, inside the Bian River Water Gate, the southeast corner of the inner city.
The pleasure boats that came out of Jinglongjiang could be directly met there, and then the people and things above were transferred to these canal ships, and went downstream to the outer city and headed straight for Nanjing.
“Ha, there is only one truth.
Our Supreme Emperor is about to escape, but why did he make such a mysterious and mysterious one?
Ah, he was afraid that the government would not let him escape. By the way, this game of father and son, a kind and filial son, could not continue.
I immediately sent the news to the inside of Geng Nanzhong's family, so that he could find a way to let Geng Nanzhong know that there would be a good show in Kaifeng City, but I was very curious. He would sooner or later be known by the officials. At that time, the officials directly issued an order to stop him. How could he break away from the officials' troops?
Could it be that he was relying on his old face?”
Huahua said enthusiastically.
Indeed, no matter how hidden a great painter is, he can only achieve suddenness at most, but it is impossible to escape from the city quietly. The last door was under the control of Kaifeng Commune, and as soon as he left Gen Yue, he would be discovered by his son immediately. So how could he face his son's interception at that time? Could it be based on their father-son relationship? It is obviously impossible.
"This is a big conspiracy. It seems that our official family was fooled by his father."
Huahua said.
