Chapter 288: The sound of footsteps of the end of the world

"We agree!" The Boni official answered helplessly. With their intelligence, it was impossible to see that Zhao Xing's request was abnormal.

After all Zhao Xing's requests were met, he immediately changed into a smile. He asked with a smile: "Your king has never shown up. He should be the endorsement of this agreement - don't worry, I will build Boni Songcheng into the most famous building on the entire island. I will ask your Boni King to help me recruit two thousand slaves to build the boundary wall. In addition, I will also recruit tens of thousands of stonemasons from Chameng and the Angkor Dynasty to re-plan Songcheng on both sides of the Brunei River..."

Zhao Xing was planning the future with great enthusiasm, and the burly officials muttered in a low voice: "If this Song City really becomes the most majestic and famous building on our Kalimantan Island, then the honor also belongs to the Song people. What does it have to do with us..."

Zhao Xing glared, and the Boni official next to him quickly pulled the sleeves of the verbal official. The group of people instead angrily but remained silent.

In this Su Shi era, or the "Flamingo era in East Asia", even the natives in South China had unrestrained freedom. Zhao Xing took advantage and did not act obediently. He blinked for himself and let these natives who suffered great losses...

The storms in the tropical areas are very severe. Most countries do not set up cities on the coast, and the same is true for Boni. Their capital needs to go deeper along Boni City and enter and exit the sea estuary through the Brunei River. Zhao Xing built the "Song people's city" at the mouth of Boni River this time, which means that even the people of Boni Country need to obtain permission from the Song people to enter and exit the capital.

Boni Kingdom promised Zhao Xing that the land was three miles along the river, but the depth of the river was not specifically marked. So Zhao Xing was not polite. He used a wooden fence to circle a 20-kilometer-long flat city with a wooden fence. Because the city blocked the estuary of the river. Zhao Xing was embarrassed to completely seal the river, so he built a water gate at both ends of the estuary. The water gate was open all day long and left to people's contact.

Building a city was a major project. After Zhao Xing circled the land, he made plans and left two hundred soldiers and three small cannons to guard it. He turned around and returned to Guangnan.

As soon as they landed, Su Ding and Qin Guan were on the shore, and anxiously met Zhao Xing, panting, "Brother Xing (lei) is not good, but it is not good. The court ordered Mr. Su (legitimate father) to be demoted to Danzhou (now Hainan), and sent a new Guangnan visiting envoy to investigate Guangnan. What should I do?"

Wan Qiyong poked his head out from behind the two of them. Explained: "Sir, I heard that Mr. Su's poems were spread in Huizhou. There are two lines in the poem: "To repay the poet's spring sleep, the Taoist slaps the fifth update clock." The poem was passed to the capital, and the Xianggong (Zhang Dun) believed that Mr. Su could be so carefree in adversity. He should be demoted to a more remote place...

It was said that Zhang Dun originally planned to send Lu Shengqing (Lu Huiqing's younger brother) to visit Guangnan West Road. Lu Shengqing was harsh and said to be "killed". Fortunately, Zeng Bu, the censor Xing Shu and others strongly opposed Lu Shengqing's appointment. Xing Shuli Chen said: This dynasty enjoys peace and spreads the Han and Tang Dynasties. It was caused by the ancestors that he had never killed ministers. It is said that His Majesty also opposed it. He said: "The alliance abides by the ancestors' legacy and does not kill ministers casually, so he will not punish them."

After that, the court changed the appointment of Dong Bi as the Guangnan West Road inspection instead of Lu Shengqing..."

Zhao Xing hurriedly asked, "Have the teacher set off?"

Su Ding replied: "The court was anxious to resolve the urging of the urging of the urging, and his father had arrived in Hainan."

Zhao Xing nodded calmly: "Although people all think that exiling Hainan is second only to beheading, it is the opposite for me. Only when Mr. Su goes to Hainan can he be safe. That piece of land is truly under my control - I don't panic. What I want to know now is: Who leaked the poems of Su Gong? Dong Bi came to Guangxi, and what else do he want to do besides observing Mr. Su's affairs?"

Wan Qiyong frequently shook Zhao Xing's eyes just now. This is also the reason. Zhao Xing has too many secrets in Guangdong. Now the imperial court suddenly sent an inspector to come over. What do you want to do?

The visiting envoy in the Song Dynasty was equivalent to the later imperial envoy. He came down to investigate with the emperor's mission and had direct reporting on the emperor's land. Zhao Xing had too many secrets and did not want the court to know, so he hoped that the visiting envoy would come later, the better.

But he can't stop it now.

In recent years, the court has known the convenience of taking the sea route. Important letters are sent from the sea route to Guangnan. Yangzhou is a land transport terminal. Due to Zhao Xing's settlement plan, no matter who buys a ticket in Yangzhou, he can take a Shanghai boat to Guangnan directly. Once the ship starts to anchor, Zhao Xing cannot notify the other party to seize it, so he cannot stop Dong Bi's arrival at all.

"Cultivate the Guangnan gunmen immediately." Zhao Xing was silent for a moment, and suddenly he talked about this topic: "We are about to transport a large number of slaves from Chameng. In three years, the people of Guangzhou should have enough rest, organize gunmen from all over the country and distribute them along the newly built road - this matter is immediately started..."

Shuai Fan hesitated for a long time and persuaded him: "Sir, as planned, we should equip musketeers this month. If we start to practice gunners..."

The handsome fan wanted to speak but stopped.

What he wanted to say was: We attacked Chameng and privately embezzled half of the spoils; then we went to the muds and blackmailed a lot of spoils. Seeing that we were going to equip muskets again, although the court did not prohibit muskets, we did many things to overcome. Seeing that a visiting envoy came to Guangnan, we did not want to cover up, but instead made a big fuss in Guangnan, which seemed a bit inappropriate.

Zhao Xing understood what the other party meant, and he glared and asked, "Is it not my responsibility to rectify the army on Guangnan East Road? I know what you want to say, but haven't you smelled the smell of the end of the world? Shaoyou, what else can you say it together!"

Qin Guan was stunned for a moment and added: "The court has established a Yuanyou Party monument. All those who advocated the abolition of Wang Jinggong's new laws during the Yuanyou period were listed above, and the teacher and the four of us were listed above. In addition, the court has ordered the burning of the works of the Yuanyou Party. This visiting envoy came to Guangdong and Guangxi to supervise the burning of books. Li Ren, the books you gave to the provincial college, and all the works of the Yuanyou Party were burned down."

Zhao Xing smiled coldly. He added: "Including the first accounting book in China written by Su Sanzhang (Su Che), the book "Imaging of Objects" written by Su Gong, the teacher's invented by the rice horses and keels, the "Lantian Township Agreement" in Lu Dafang, and the poetry and articles of the prosperous Song Dynasty described by these people. All of this is burning, right?"

Everyone was speechless.

Zhao Xing took a breath and replied: "This is the 'end of the world'. There are many reasons for the demise of a dynasty. But squeezing speech and forbidding people from obtaining the most comprehensive information is a necessary condition for the demise of a dynasty - although not sufficient.

Let's take a look: the Qin Dynasty burned books and buryed scholars, and soon it perished; the Party and Prison Rebellion of the Eastern Han Dynasty began to suppress speech, and soon the country was lost, and it began to perish within a generation; the Jin Dynasty was unremitting, so let's not talk about it. However, the Eight Kings Rebellion led to the people of the Wei and Jin Dynasties being able to sing and cry, and as a result, the Central Plains Daotong was lost to foreign races; the Tang Dynasty was the same, and Wu Zetian caused a cruel official to report it, and Li Linfu started to talk about the party struggles and imprisoned speech, and soon the country was lost, and the glorious Tang Dynasty declined.

This was the case in the Qin, Han, Jin and Tang dynasties. Although imprisoning speech is not a sufficient condition for the destruction of a country, it is at least a sign: Any dynasty that begins to imprison speech and eliminate dissidents means that the country is about to be destroyed. We have three dynasties as proof, and still need to be dragged on the Song Dynasty as evidence? Could it be that the Song Dynasty also starts to imprison speech to destruction of a country?"

What Zhao Xing has not said yet is that the demise of the Ming Dynasty also began with the launch of party struggles in the Eastern Ming Party...

He took a deep breath and continued: "The demise of a dynasty cannot be only one reason, but once it starts to confine speech and eliminate dissidents, the winners of the party will be unscrupulously corrupt and bully the people without scruples. Therefore, all kinds of malpractice arise, and the people have to vote with their feet and choose to abandon them. This is a simple truth. It has always been like this. Without exception."

Zhao Xingchong bowed to everyone present and said decadently: "Everyone. We have entered the end of the world now and need to prepare early."

After Zhao Xing finished speaking, he bowed his hands and led everyone back to the mansion. Wan Qi Yong followed him all the way, adding, "Sir, there has been internal strife in the new party. Cai Jing has been removed from office. He returned to Suzhou to settle down. A few days ago, he came and said he was planning to come to Guangzhou to see you."

Zhao Xing was speechless. Qin Guan was the most impatient. He couldn't stand this depressing atmosphere. He first broke the silence and said, "Is there no way to leave people?"

Zhao Xing slowly shook his head and replied: "I don't know. What I am trying to do now is to change the direction of history, but this fact is too difficult. I have promoted the development of history thousands of times and wanted it to deviate from its inherent track, but it always stubbornly returns to that inertial road - it's difficult."

Qin Guan quickly stated: "Li Ren, what do you need me to do? As long as I can help, I will do my best."

Zhao Xing gritted his teeth and tried his best to say, "Okay, since I can't change the entire Song Dynasty, let's work together to change the entire Guangdong and Guangxi - lend me all your strength, let's work together to maintain the situation in Guangdong and Guangxi."

Maintaining the situation in Guangdong and Guangxi is the wish of all demoted officials, because although they were demoted to Lingnan, their treatment was actually better than in the inland. Due to the existence of these demoted officials, Zhao Xing made a clever name and distributed subsidies to the prefecture education in various forms. These subsidies were calculated accumulated and calculated, which was equivalent to the salary of a current magistrate. This is unimaginable in the mainland. Therefore, Zhao Xing's statement was passed to the demoted officials through private channels, and the demoted officials were immediately grateful.

In addition to demoting officials, the professors of the Ministry of Education also agreed with Zhao Xing's proposal. They also knew that because demoted officials had no salary and no source of income, Zhao Xing often issued some subsidies to the professors in order to take care of those demoted officials. These subsidies were issued for demotion. The prefectures and prefectures and counties that had demoted officials had subsidies, newly built roads, and prefectures and counties that had not had demotions became second-class citizens. This means that if the demoted officials left the prefecture, the living standards of the professors in the Ministry of Education would be reduced.

As a result, all prefectures and counties were busy resettling their own demotions. Originally, demotions were used as janitors in various prefecture schools. After Zhao Xing privately heard the news, they transferred the demotions to the backyard of the academy, and built a new wall to separate the courtyard, but the small door was often open...

Zhao Xing was not satisfied with that. After he released the news, he watched with satisfaction that all the prefectures and counties hid the demoted officials in the backyard of the prefecture school. Then, in order to hide the books of the Yuanyou Party, Zhao Xing began to give a large amount of books to the prefecture school. These books were given to the prefecture school under the banner of private donations. Zhao Xing not only gave them himself, but also mobilized Guangzhou gentry to donate. In an instant, the entire Guangzhou Prefecture school was submerged in a large number of books. In just one month, most of the prefecture school had exceeded 100,000 volumes and 3 million volumes.

Dong Bi, the Guangnan West Road inspector, came quickly. After Zhao Xing received the letter, he had already arrived at Guangnan East Road forty days. The two of them were Wang Ying, the Guangnan East Road inspector. The two of them got ashore in Xianggang and immediately posted to the Guangdong Provincial Security and Pacification Office. Liao Xiaoxiao responded apologetically: "Two sirs, it's really a coincidence. My official happened to go out to sea early this morning and said he was going to Guangxi to urge him to bet Qiangang. It took about one month of land to come back. The two sirs can wait in the government office and wait for my official to come back. I will definitely notify you."

Dong Bi looked unhappy, Wang Ying raised her face and replied: "Liao, since Lord Zhao has set off this morning. It is too late to catch up now. Please send someone to chase Lord Zhao, and say that the imperial court has an order..."

Wang Ying said it was very rude. Who is Liao Xiaoxiao? One of the ten best in the capital. In the past, Prime Ministers and literati students such as Lu Dafang, Liu Zhi, Cai Jing, Su Shi and other prime ministers had surrounded her and pleased her. For a little person like Wang Ying who had never heard of, she was patient and smiled and perfunctory. When she heard Wang Ying speak so rudely, Liao Xiaoxiao's face darkened and replied in a confrontation: "Two adults, I am not from the officialdom. I don't know the rules of the officialdom. Since the adults are free to make arrangements, I just take my leave and I am polite."

Liao Xiaoxiao shook her sleeves and led the maid to walk out of the mansion slowly. The two people who were so angry that they rolled their eyes. When Liao Xiaoxiao walked out of the door, they realized that they realized. Dong Bi shouted: "Come, come, come quickly, where are they dead!"

Dong Bi shouted, and thirty or forty people suddenly rushed out. They held their arms and stared at the two inspectors coldly. One of the people who looked like an official came forward and bowed, and said politely: "Two adults should be more respectful. This is an inner house. Don't deceive my elders. Otherwise, I will recognize the two elders as officials, and my fist will not recognize the two elders."

"Inner House!" Wang Ying jumped and asked: "This is the Guangnan East Road Jinglifu Department. When will it become your adult's inner house?"

The official sniffed and grinned: "You two may as well go out and ask. This is clearly my adult's private residence. When will it become the Guangnan East Road Staff and Pacification Department? Don't be fooled, please be more decent, otherwise, I will ask the yards to go out."

As an official, of course, the subordinates could not let the servants go out. The two inspectors walked out of the door surrounded by the yard. Dong Bi did not believe it, so he grabbed an old man passing by and asked, "Brother-in-law, isn't this the Staff Pacification Department?"

The father-in-law looked at the two officials in wonder, looked up and down the two officials' robes, and answered firmly: "Official, this is indeed the residence of the governor Zhao, the governor."

This was equivalent to not saying anything. Dong Bi was angry and grabbed the old man and asked again: "I know this is Lord Zhao's mansion, but isn't it the yamen of the governor's comforting envoy?"

The old man looked at the two of them stupidly for a while before he recalled: "Oh, the two officials asked the people in the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the

Dong Bi interrupted the old man's feelings in anger and asked: "I didn't ask you Lord Zhao's salary. What I asked is where the yamen of the Strategy and Pacification Order?"

Wang Ying heard something strange, and waved his hand to stop Dong Bi: "Wait, father-in-law, you said that the yamen is small, and the people there are not working in the yamen, right?"

"Of course, those adults were all looking for comfort, so they all ran to Lord Zhao's side yard to work. I heard that it was so comfortable there. There was a large swimming pool in front of the door... Hey, before I finished speaking, why did the two adults leave?"

"We just left like this?" Wang Ying asked unwillingly while walking on the road.

Dong Bi's position was in Guangxi, but Wang Ying needed to be in Guangdong. His failure to hand over the official edict to the yamen of the politicians means that he could not exercise his power in Guangdong, so Dong Bi could leave, but he had to go in again.

Dong Bi shook his head and said, "How to get in? The one we made a fuss in the inner house will be over again. If we are turned away, wouldn't we lose our decency? Brother Wang might as well go to the government office with me and let's find out the situation before we talk about it."

The official residence of the Guangnan East Road Pacifier Office did not allow two adults to live in. The guest officer raised his face and was calm, but he answered firmly: "Two adults. I know two adults, but my rules in Guangnan are different. The Management and Pacifier Office issued a notice last year, saying that the reception fees for officials coming and going are all measured by digital...

What is digitalization? That's money. Two adults can use official edicts to register in the yamen. The yamen will give you a sum of money and then give you a billboard. With the billboard, I will arrange accommodation for you. But you have to pay for food and accommodation in the yamen. Didn't the yamen send you money? That money is the cost of food and accommodation in your land.

The Strategic Department has regulations on how much subsidy is for the number of officials who are of the same rank, how many days can be stayed by passing officials, how many days can be stayed in business, and how many days can be stayed in office. There are regulations. You will be given food and accommodation subsidies according to regulations and enjoy free reception.

The two adults do not have a billboard issued by the Strategic Department, so I can live here. However, the two adults need to pay for their own money. There are regulations on who stay in this official residence every day and how much food is. If the two adults don’t pay for it, I have to pay for the money myself... In fact, the two adults don’t need to worry. If you are really an official, your money will never be able to escape.

Well, you can pay for accommodation yourself first. When Lord Zhao comes back, you will hand over the official position in the official position. The Secretary for Administration will definitely send you money. This means that you will pay for your own meals and accommodation first, and then send the money to you in the yamen. It’s about time and night. Lord, do you understand what I explained?"

"Talk!" Dong Bi shouted. Wang Ying's attitude has softened now. What he thought was that Zhao Xing first needed to cooperate with him before he could take office. Otherwise, Zhao Xing might let him go for several months. Thinking of Zhao Xing's unfamous reputation in the capital, Wang Ying decided to ease his attitude.

After making plans, Wang Ying smiled at the officer of the guest and asked with a smile: "I heard that the officials of the Office of the Management Office like to work in Lord Zhao's house, right? We just went to Lord Zhao's mansion. I heard that Lord Zhao had just gone out to sea. Is there any way for the noble official to notify Lord Zhao..."

The guest officer of the Song Dynasty was equivalent to the modern government reception director. He shook his head and said, "The two adults were joking about it. The sea was vast and there were roads everywhere. Who knows which road Lord Zhao took? There is basically no chance to chase people at sea. The two adults had no experience in going out to sea. Not long ago, Lord Zhao was chasing a pirate ship on the sea. I heard that his eyes could clearly see the other's ship, but he chased him for a day and a night before he reached the range.

Chasing people at sea is not a joke. Who can catch up with them unless they are gods."

Cold sweat gradually emerged from Wang Ying's back. He knew that if the pursuit at sea could not be done, then he would have lost his official position in the mainland of Zhaoxing Mansion just now. He ran to the inner house and took advantage of the absence of his master and got angry at his concubine. This matter was a big deal and decided to be a scandal.

It would be fine if Zhao Xing's mansion was just a private courtyard, but Wang Ying would never admit it afterwards, but if there were some officials in that mansion, then when the officials came out to testify afterwards, both of them would not be able to deny it.

Wang Ying thought of this and glanced at Dong Bi, her eyes full of despair. Dong Bi shrugged like nothing happened and replied: "Mr. Zhao is leaving, I don't know when I will come back. Brother Wang wants to wait here for a few more days, so the officials will not wait. The officials will set off for Guangxi tomorrow morning."

Wang Ying's face was gray. When the two were speechless, an official rushed over with several yamen runners, shouting as he walked: "The two thieves didn't know what Lord Zhao did. They dared to run into my inner courtyard to cause trouble. Come on, come on, boys, beat me hard."
Chapter completed!
