Chapter 103 Zhao Huan: I am both happy and have a headache
The fastest and easiest way to make money in the world is definitely not arms, let alone other forms of pornography, gambling, drugs, etc., but house confiscation.
Just like the five major mobile weapons dealers, although they look at the scenery, they all shed tears when talking about it - weapons research and development does not cost money? Manufacturing and transportation are cost-free? Those boys outside do not need to raise them? Test weapons
There is no need to start a war with others to find the experimental field?
But confiscation of homes is different, because there is no cost to confiscate homes. As long as you catch people like Xu Zhenhua and raid hundreds of homes, you can earn enough money for the state treasury for one or two years, which is much faster than other ways to get money.
Moreover, it was a completely reasonable and legal behavior in the feudal era. There was no need to use the banner of United Nations authorization as a cover like the five major mobile arms dealers.
The most important thing is that from the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty and even to the later generations, there was never a shortage of people like Xu Zhenhua. The vitality of these people was stronger than that of leeks. Once one crop was cut, a second crop would grow immediately. Even with Zhu Yuanzhang,
The harsh and harsh methods of peeling and eating grass can only relieve these people but cannot completely cure them.
So Zhao Huan was wondering if he should wait a little longer? Wait for more and more Xu Zhenhua, Wang Zhenhua and the like to pop up slowly, and then copy them again. By then, the money will be available and the land will be recovered.
Isn't it wonderful to kill two birds with one stone in this way?
But Zhao Huan soon lost his beauty.
As Mr. Zi Ming said, handsomeness usually lasts only three seconds.
Facing the butcher knife raised by Zhao Huan, bastards like Xu Zhenhua made two completely different choices.
One is to cry and go to the central court to speak to Empress Dowager Meng through the Yushitai, accusing Zhao Huan of being cruel and murderous. This took only a little longer from Bianjing to Yan'an Prefecture, and dozens of houses were raided, and the victims were killed.
There are more than a thousand, and there are over ten thousand people implicated. Even if Jie and Zhou are resurrected, they may not be able to match the current officials.
Especially now that the officials are still leading troops to fight in person, if they continue to kill all the way, I am afraid that the Song Dynasty will have to be killed by the officials before Xixia is reached. It is estimated that those "common people" who cannot survive will be killed.
It's time to "rise up" and then the world will be in chaos.
Queen Mother Meng naturally ignored these people's nonsense.
She had already talked to Zhao Huan countless times but could not persuade him. Knowing how murderous and stubborn the officials today are, Empress Dowager Meng was already too lazy to persuade him.
Even Empress Dowager Meng had a vague feeling that she was out of breath——
In the eighth year of Yuanyou, the Empress Dowager Gao passed away, and Emperor Shenzong Zhao Xu took charge. After taking charge, Zhao Xu immediately implemented Yuanfeng's new law, dismissed the old party prime ministers Fan Chunren, Lu Dafang, etc., and appointed Zhang Dun, Zeng Bu and other new parties.
Militarily, he restarted the Battle of Hehuang, took over the Qingtang area, and launched two battles of Pingxia City to make Xixia surrender.
However, less than seven years later, in September of the second year of Yuanfu, the son born to Zhao Xu's beloved concubine Liu died. Four days later, Liu's youngest daughter, Princess Yang, also died of a sudden illness.
, and Zhao Xu also died in Funing Hall due to serious illness on the 12th day of the first lunar month of the third year of Yuanfu. He was only twenty-five years old.
The only son of a dignified emperor could die inexplicably, and his daughter could also die suddenly four days later. Who would believe that this is a coincidence?
Therefore, Empress Dowager Meng also felt that Zhao Huan had done a good job. After carefully checking the inside and outside of the palace over and over again, Empress Dowager Meng did not even persuade Zhao Huan to restrain himself. She only sent someone to send a message to Zhao Huan, asking Zhao Huan to pay attention to her.
Be safe so as not to make the same mistake as Shenzong did again.
Of course, Zhao Huan knew this very well. After all, these officials in the Song Dynasty were spoiled, and Zhao Huan even suspected that those spicy civil servants in the Ming Dynasty learned from these officials in the Song Dynasty!
After all, Emperor Zhengde, who could chop people with a knife, fell into the water and died of cold, and Emperor Tianqi, who was good at carpentry, could fall into the water and die of frailty. This is already a good explanation of the problem——
It’s okay to say that Zhengde is lustful and lustful, and it’s okay to say that Tianqi doesn’t do his job properly. After all, the emperors of the old Zhu family are like that. They often run their favorite side businesses while doing their main business.
But to say that Zhengde and Tianqi are weak is sheer nonsense.
Regardless of whether it's life-threatening things like cutting people with a knife or carpentry work that requires strength, it's not something that people with weak kidneys can do, right? Ultimately, it can only be said that these civil servants are spoiled. They are so courageous that there is nothing they dare not do for the sake of profit!
Just like the "Yi Feng Eternal Five Tombs", why do these five people, Yan Peiwei, Yang Nianru, Shen Yang, Ma Jie, and Zhou Wenyuan, entangle more than 70,000 villagers? What do these people rely on to pursue them? Beating up angels, Tiqi, and chamberlains, killing one person on the spot, dozens of others dying of serious injuries, and driving the then governor of Yingtian Mansion into a cesspool?
Or to put it more bluntly, are these people the vanguard of resistance to the oppression of feudal dictatorship? Or are they the spokespersons of some well-intentioned people who hope that the local area will be freed from the control of the imperial court?
If "Yi Feng Eternal Five Tombs, the Envoys in Yellow Clothes Do Not Leave the Capital" was caused by the local government, then the Hongyi Cannon Case during the Chongzhen Period really infuriated everyone -
During the Chongzhen period, the Ministry of Household Affairs approved 100,000 taels of silver to buy ten red barbarian cannons. However, some people just had enough money to buy nearly fifty cannons and sell them to the slaves. After receiving the money from the slaves, Then he bought ten cannons for Chongzhen. In the end, he made money and the things the emperor told him were done. Isn’t it perfect?
Is it consistent with the operating rules and techniques of capital to buy cannons with the emperor's money, sell them to the slaves, and then use the money back to settle the accounts?
But, the one hundred thousand taels of silver came from the Ministry of Household Affairs, not from the private sector, so who handled the money? Who was the matchmaker? They could even stab the censor who was investigating the matter to death at home afterwards. !
Therefore, Zhao Huan has always paid great attention to his own safety. He has been staying in the military camp since he overturned the table. He even increased the authority of the Imperial City Division for this purpose and even opened up the expert factory in order to save his own life first. .
However, in addition to these bastards who secretly prepared to kill Zhao Huan and ran to cry to Empress Dowager Meng, there was another group of bastards who made choices, which made Zhao Huan feel secretly happy and feel a little headache at the same time——
Those bastards did not secretly prepare to kill Zhao Huan, nor did they go to Empress Dowager Meng to cry, and they did not even raise a flag to rebel.
