Reason finally defeated evil, and Zhao Bing gave up the idea of ​​executing all unscrupulous merchants and confiscating their property. He knew that all the merchants who had been executed had solid evidence and conclusive evidence of their crimes. They might

Either they took refuge with the Mongols, or they provided money and food to support the enemy. They relied on monopolizing the market to earn a lot of wealth, and they did not spare any effort to kill them. And confiscation of their own homes was equivalent to taking away a huge amount of money from the market, which in turn affected the

The prosperity of trade has also given opportunities to many small and medium-sized businesses that were suppressed in the past. They are still able to take advantage of the opportunity to fill the vacancies and continue maritime trade.

Zhao Bing knew that businessmen were driven by profit. In order to make money, they would more or less participate in trade with the Mongols. If these people were cleared out on charges of collaborating with the enemy, they would certainly be able to gain a large amount of money, but they would also be completely destroyed.

The loss of Guangzhou was just like Huang Chao's massacre and plundering of Guangzhou in order to obtain military expenses. Although he obtained the funds to support his seizure of half of the country, it also left Guangzhou in depression for a century.

If he could have Huang Chao's strength and defeat the Mongols in one fell swoop, Zhao Bing might consider sacrificing Guangzhou in exchange for a comprehensive victory. But now the situation is not as good as others. He can't take over the world even if he has money, but he has to live in Qiongzhou. There he is alone.

Overseas, the products are not abundant, and we must rely on the mainland to obtain necessary supplies to supplement the shortage. This is just like the relationship between the newly liberated mainland and Hong Kong. Guangzhou's location and business status determine that it is the most suitable, which also makes Zhao Bing

We cannot kill the goose to lay eggs, and lose this important supply base.

Zhao Bing felt it was inappropriate to let these people go so easily, so he killed a group of people to let them know that treason would cost them their heads. But these people who were not guilty enough to die must also make them pay the price, otherwise they would be ruined.

Their vitality will also be severely damaged, and they will lose the ability to make a comeback. And the family members who lost their heads cannot be let go. The two sides have become mortal enemies, and measures must be taken. When the provincial Mongols come back, they will act as a returning group...

"Your Highness, the city has been closed for five days. Firewood from outside the city cannot enter the city, and people in the city cannot go out to collect firewood. All walks of life are sure that Your Highness will open the city to release firewood." All the work has come to an end, and the heads of the departments will gather in the commander's mansion the next day.

Pan Fang spoke first to discuss the next step of work.

"It's a matter of people's livelihood. I thought we could open the city at Yin time and close it at sunset." Zhao Bing thought about it and said, it's not a problem if the city gate is always closed. Now he has arrested everyone who should be arrested. Liang Xiongfei rushed to Yingde Mansion.

There is no need to lock down the city.

"Your Highness, all evildoers will be executed, and those who suffer from miscarriage will be handed over to the Transport Envoy and the Changping Department. Your Highness will decide how to deal with the miscarriage." Gao Yingsong stood up and said.

"All the rebels will be transferred to Qiongzhou, and the collected food and response materials will be transported to Qiongzhou immediately, and will be escorted by the navy and rear army. Both the Transportation Department and Changping Department will send their personnel there, so Mr. Jiang will go and preside over it!" Zhao Bing knows that the night is long and the dream is many.

, beat quickly and collect quickly, only when the pellets are returned to the warehouse can they be considered your own, he looked at Jiang Qiu and said.

"I obey my orders!" Jiang Qiu, Liu Zhu and Zhuang Siqi said after the order.

"Right now, the Criminal Division still has a lot of people in custody who were not guilty of serious crimes. We all think it would be more appropriate to deal with them." Zhao Bing suggested.

"Your Highness, I believe that these people's crimes should be dealt with separately according to the severity of their crimes, and cannot be generalized," Ying Jieyan said first.

"Commander Fu's words are reasonable, but the commander's palace is about to be transferred. It is difficult to carefully screen them one by one. If they stay, they will collude with the Tatars. It would be better to move them all to Qiongzhou and banish the army." Jiang Xuan said.

"Sajia thinks it's a waste of food to bring them all to Qiongzhou. If not, killing them all with one sword can scare Xiaoxiao. Let's see who dares to cooperate with the enemy." Zhao Mengjin waved his hand and said.

"The lower officials thought that these people had a lot of wealth and their crimes were not serious enough to confiscate their homes. If they were allowed to donate food and money to atone for their crimes, they could replenish military resources and also punish them," Cai Wanyi said.

"Cai Ti's suggestion is a good one. Since these people think they have a lot of wealth and use it to gain wealth from the enemy, we will confiscate their property so that they can no longer survive." Pan Fang also agreed with Cai Wanyi's proposal.

"Would donating money to atone for one's sins be suspected of laundering crimes with money, so that people would criticize me and say that my handsome man's affairs are unfair?" In fact, this method is what Zhao Bing likes best. Making money now is real, otherwise the Mongols will come back.

At that time, the money still had to fall into their hands. But I had to be more reserved and not look too ugly, so I asked everyone for their opinions.

"Your Highness, donating money to atone for sins has been around since ancient times. It is not unique to this dynasty. We are just following suit." Pan Fangyan said.

"Your Highness, I think it's feasible." Ying Jieyan continued, "These merchants are rich and don't care about money as their lives. Letting them donate money to atone for their sins hits home." He is the leader of all officials. Since he has expressed his stance, everyone has nothing to say.

Already.

"Since you have no objections, the Criminal Division and the Transportation Division will handle the matter as soon as possible. The punishment must be appropriate for the crime, and no charges should be made arbitrarily." Zhao Bing glanced at Ying Jieyan, who happened to look over, and the two smiled at each other.

All in silence.

"Your Highness, the Tibetan chief in the city requested that the waterway be opened as soon as possible to facilitate trade and stabilize the hearts of Tibetan merchants." Jiang Guan asked for instructions.

"What is the position of the chief?" Zhao Bing asked doubtfully.

"Your Highness, since the Tang Dynasty, a large number of Tibetan merchants have poured into Guangzhou into its own streets, which were then called Fanfang. It was particularly prosperous in our dynasty. The imperial court selected prestigious foreign businessmen to serve as Tibetan chiefs, and also granted them corresponding official titles to manage Tibet on their behalf.

Shang." Jiang Qiu explained.

"A person like a Pu thieves?" Zhao Bing was stunned and asked. He used to think that these were the responsibilities of the Municipal Shipping Department, but it turned out that the administrative power was delegated to the Tibetan people.

"Well... there are similarities, but they are not the same." Jiang Qiu was agitated when he heard this. Pu Shougeng had a bloody feud with the royal family. Now all his relatives in Guangzhou City are detained, and all those who are directly related to him are in custody.

He was executed, all his distant relatives were put into hard labor camps and prepared to be sent to Qiongzhou, and all his family property was taken into the palace. He was afraid that His Highness might want to find a reason to take action on this unlucky chief!

"Your Highness, since the establishment of the Municipal Shipping Department, the imperial court has used the method of 'inducing and settling' to deal with the relationship with Tibetan merchants. To put it in detail, one is to attract merchants, the other is to secure merchants, and the third is to establish business (allow them to settle down).

When businessmen come, a banquet is held to welcome them; when foreign businessmen return, they are given gifts and gifts. A fanfang is set up for them to live and trade, and a Tibetan school is built to educate their children. They are very generous and courteous, and this is a regular system." Pan Fang also said.

He quickly explained.

"Oh, that's it!" Zhao Bing nodded, thinking to himself, isn't this the modern version of attracting investment? He thought this was a revelation from later generations, but he didn't expect that it had already been implemented in the form of legislation in the Song Dynasty as early as 800 years ago.
