Chapter 176
Where did the official family go?
Li Gang also wanted to know the answer to this question - the officials did not do anything related to the emperor!
He left the government behind and ran to the southern tour with a group of people. He started a massacre in Quanzhou Prefecture. After throwing a bunch of messes, he sent someone to send a message saying that he would go on a northern tour with the boat, and then he didn't know where to go. Is this what the king of a country should do?
The nine generations of emperors from the founding of the Song Dynasty are the most bizarre officials today!
He casually said that he wanted to peel the magistrate of a mansion, and that magistrate of Quanzhou Ji Ziming died, but what about the court?
Originally, it was a headache to revise the "Song Xingtong", but as a result, there was a law of peeling the skin and solid grass in it!
If it was just like this, Li Gang felt that he could bear it even if he gritted his teeth, but the Empress Dowager would also ask where the official family was...
The more you think about it, the more you get, the more trouble you get, Li Gang couldn't help but reach out and grab the back of his head, then stared at the hair in his hand in a daze-
The hair is falling more and more. Will you quickly become bald if you fall like this? Should you go to Daxiangguo Temple or Wutai Mountain? I don’t know if I can still practice the legendary Wuro Bagua Stick at this age (43 years old)?
Li Gang looked at the hair in his hand and his thoughts were changing with his heart. He felt that among the great masters of the Song Dynasty, he was the most miserable. He had been in trouble for eight lifetimes before he could meet such an unprovoked official family.
Empress Meng and Empress Zhu behind the pearl curtain are also in a bad mood.
"Send someone to tell the official family, just say what the Ai family said, and ask him to come back quickly."
After pausing the dragon-head crutch in his hand, Empress Dowager Meng said angrily: "When a few more dragons are born in the harem, he can go on patrol as he wants. The Ai family will never ask about it!"
...
After leaving Quanzhou Prefecture, Zhao Huan took a group of horsemen to Xijin Prefecture from the sea.
The earliest name of Xijin Prefecture was Youzhou. In the first year of the Khitan Huitong, Emperor Taizong of Liao Yelu Deguang designated Youzhou as Youzhou Prefecture and upgraded it to Nanjing, Liao Kingdom. In the first year of Kaitai, Nanjing Youdu Prefecture was changed to Yanjing Xijin Prefecture. The name came from "Taking Yan's wild and leverage to Ximujin", which directly governed 11 counties and unified 6 prefectures.
The so-called "expanding the border northwest and managing Youyan", the eunuch Tong Guantong, who led a 200,000 army to attack Liao but was defeated. Later, he used a million guan of money to "redeem" the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun from the Jin soldiers, including Xijin Prefecture.
However, as we all know, it is not possible to buy peace with money. Only by punching one punch can one avoid a hundred punches.
The reason why Tong Guantong's elder brother-in-law bought Youyan and was forced to be king, but also exposed the fact that the Song Dynasty was a paper tiger to the Jin soldiers. The reason why Wanyan Zonghan dared to use the frog-leap tactic to attack Song was related to the fact that Tong Gonggong used money to redeem the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.
"When the Great Wall is completed, I dare to use my life to guarantee it. Not to mention that it is just the Jin Kingdom, even the Huns, Turks and Jin Kingdoms are tied together, and they cannot go south again."
Qin Huiwan, who came to Xijin Mansion to face the saint, pointed to the north and said, "All beacon towers can be used to stockpile soldiers and grain. There must be a large outpost between every ten beacon towers, which can be stockpiled more than 10,000 soldiers. There is a city between every hundred beacon towers, which can be used to stockpile soldiers and grain, as well as for people to live or take refuge.
If there is no war, the people can be sent out to the pass and cultivated the stockpile. If the war occurs, the people can calmly retreat back to the Great Wall. In this way, our Song Dynasty will be invincible for advancement and defense against the northern grasslands."
Zhao Huan couldn't help but give Qin Hui a thumbs up - this guy is really good at playing! Now that the Great Wall has not been built yet, he is thinking about taking the Great Wall out from the base to attack the grassland?
After praising Qin Hui for a few words, Zhao Huan smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Do you need me to solve any problem for you now?"
Hearing Zhao Huan say this, Qin Hui suddenly felt energetic. After rubbing his hands, he chuckled and said, "If you talk about a big problem, there is no problem, there is just a little problem..."
Looking at Qin Hui's look as if he gestured with his thumb and little finger, Zhao Huan smiled and said, "What's the problem? Qin Qing might as well tell me."
Qin Hui chuckled again and said, "It's... it's that laborer... it's a little too little!"
He looked at Zhao Huan quietly and saw that there was no expression on Zhao Huan's face. Qin Hui continued: "It's not that the empress complaints, but those workers are too useless. They die almost every day. From the beginning of the work, there are not ten or eight thousand workers who die.
If they continue to die at this speed, they are afraid that before the Great Wall is completed, these workers will die.
So, official, are you trying to find another way to get a group of workers?
Of course, the Wei minister can use the head of his neck to guarantee that the death is guaranteed by laborers, and none of them are people of my Song Dynasty.”
Zhao Huan was silent immediately.
Don’t say whether capital is bloody or not, or how many bones are buried under any project. Just like the roadbed of the American railway is the bones of countless Chinese workers, the Great Wall of the Song Dynasty is also the bones of countless workers.
But as Qin Huibian said, as long as the people of the Song Dynasty were not dead, who would care about how many laborers were buried under the Great Wall?
Courtyard? The court officials don’t have that free time, and they can’t get busy with singing and walking around brothels every day. Who has the time to care about the life and death of workers?
Zhao Huan? Is there too few destruction in the court, or is the concubines in the harem not beautiful? Being an emperor is very busy!
But labor is a big problem. Without enough labor, the construction speed of the Great Wall will slow down. Even if the Great Wall is barely built, there will probably not be so many workers to build other projects later.
But there are so many messy projects such as the Grand Canal, straight road, imperial tombs, new capitals and palaces, new cities, etc., and the number of labor required is almost astronomical!
"Save it out first."
After a while of silence, Zhao Huan said, "When the border city with Jin Kingdom opens, there will probably be a group of workers to replenish them."
"Okay, then I'll save some use."
Qin Hui rubbed his hands and smiled, "Let's go back and give the workers better food, and give them another cotton coat, so that they can survive this winter first."
After saying that, Qin Hui's eyes turned and continued, "Qi Zuo, Weichen has an immature idea?"
Seeing Qin Hui's face full of unconcealed excitement, Zhao Huan couldn't help laughing: "What's your thought? Qin Qing might as well talk about it first. However, don't expect too many workers, after all, I have other things to let the workers do."
Qin Hui shook his head and said, "I started to report to the officials. Weichen thinks that it is winter now, so why not pick some women from the laborers and let them sew a batch of cotton coats, and then sell them to the golden man after the market opens?
Of course, it is impossible to use all the good cotton, after all, it is sold to the Jin people. Weichen thinks that we can use some old cotton, and then reels and add some reed flowers to it. Then the cotton coat will be thick and airy."
