Chapter 185 Money is a good thing(1/2)
The huge wealth found in the Guangzhou Prefectural Office did not excite Zhu Lian for long.
Because two messages came from the dock.
Almost 80% of the French merchant ships prepared to voyage carried contraband items that the Song Dynasty did not allow to carry, such as a large amount of copper coins and a large amount of iron tools.
What made Zhu Lian and Zhao Fujin angry was that these people were still doing human flesh transactions.
There are a total of seventeen merchant ships that imprison more than 1,200 women in the Song Dynasty.
These are all sold to the South and the West. You should know that the powerful and rich people in the South and the West are proud to have a woman from the Song Dynasty.
However, the origin of these women was caused by unscrupulous bandits who came from various places to Guangzhou or Liangzhe.
Basically, they are all good women, and they have suffered inhuman torture along the way.
This is not an exaggeration, but even more exaggeration is the prison next to the port.
The soldiers who entered vomited.
Many of the people inside were victims whose hands and feet were cut off or their eyes were poked.
When he found out that he was rescued by the Song army, he began to cry and accused the atrocities of the foreigners.
Even the blood-flowing Jing Jun killed in Liaodong was trembling all over.
"Brutality and unkindness, despair of conscience, and doing everything evil, and it is hard to write about it. These people are so hateful. This is a despised me of the Song Dynasty!"
He held the record handed over by Fan Yong in his hand.
Li Qingzhao was so angry that her whole body was trembling.
Zhao Fujin also had a dark face.
Is this the world of the Song Dynasty?
In the grand Song Dynasty, such dark things actually happened every year.
Even the huge seizures that the Jing army seized from the Fanfang were overshadowed.
During the seventh year of Guangmasato to the present ten years.
These foreign merchants plundered tens of thousands of women from the good Song family to overseas.
They even hired thieves to do something in Liangzhe, Health, Yangzhou and other places.
"Why are you not angry at all? I'm so angry!"
The queen, the concubine, the eldest princess, and the aunt were all angry while watching the good news back.
Li Jing didn't care at all, so he found Zhao Yu and carefully checked the number of gold and silver that was checked and loaded, as well as the number of people and genus captured.
Not only that, they also let some guilty officials in Guangzhou Prefecture move a lot of registration information for household registration, shops and workshops in Guangzhou.
We will fully understand the population, trade and tax situation of Guangnan East Road.
He also compared the things he had just moved out of the underground secret warehouse.
With Li Qingzhao's reminder, several people looked back at Li Jing.
Li Jing was a little confused.
No one has taken care of the foreigners and the dog officials as enemies of the tigers for decades.
Besides, in the Song Dynasty, wasn’t it a normal behavior for treasonists to treason?
If you really want to be serious about colluding with the enemy and treason, there will be no innocent person in the Lord and the faction, including the pseudo-emperor who caused the fall of Bianliang because of avoiding war.
Your Zhao family owns treason, can you still manage the treason of all officials?
It is rare for me to take care of it. Am I still wrong?
He completely understood that if the Huaxia people rely on the feudal official system, they would always fight in the internal struggle.
But Zhu Lian looked at Li Jing and thoughts were different.
Zhu Lian felt very tired. You should know whether it was Liu E or Gao Taotao, these two seniors from the state supervising state were both commanders in the palace.
They were all high and thought that the Song Dynasty would always be full of flowers.
But she witnessed the sufferings of the world with her own eyes.
If the Song Dynasty did not give these foreigners strongly, no one could guarantee whether the Jingkang disaster would repeat for the second time in his lifetime.
The tragic situation of the people in Guangzhou also made her extremely angry.
"Li Jing, how many troops do you need to transfer from Shandong to Guangzhou to fight the South China Sea?"
"What kind of troops in Shandong should be transferred to make the political reform of Fujian Road slow down. Zhou Ning, Chen Zhuo and Li Bi brought the students of Jixia Academy to Guangnan East Road to set up trial cases. This major case in Guangzhou involves many officials and many miserables. Just do it for the trial and trial of Jixia Academy. As for the 40,000 soldiers on Fujian Road, so many merchant ships were seized by the Guangzhou Port, and they can be transported to Nanyang for war!"
Li Jing was confident that he was not afraid of any country's army.
The reason why I endured not to fight the Golden Dog was that on the one hand, there were no well-trained cavalry, but lacked sufficient troops and supplies to ensure the supply line.
The reason why I chose to go south this winter is that I hurriedly took Guangzhou on Guangnan East Road.
First, we will make money for the counterattack of Jindog next year. Although the Fusang gold and silver mines are all produced, fighting is a very expensive business. If you have more money, you will not panic. Shandong's development requires money, and you also need money to fight Jindog, and you must take into account both.
Money is a good thing.
One of the important reasons why the Jin army attacked Bianliang for the second time and fell so quickly was that the Song Dynasty treasury had no money and was thrown to Jingou and retreated when he first went south.
The second is to get food, and you have food on your hands and feel unhappy.
Shandong has now begun to promote intensive cultivation, and this year it is still mainly growing grain, but Li Jing thinks that Shandong is more suitable for growing economical tea, cotton, etc., so that some people will become rich first, so that they will be much more relaxed and happy when unifying the whole country.
As for the cavalry, it is not unacceptable to go deep into the Baishan and Black Water to take revenge, a small number of cavalry are not as good as their opponents in cavalry.
When he was serving the king, there were not enough cavalry and the rebels lacked training, so they still won battles.
At worst, after landing in Liaodong, they occupied the beach and worked steadily, and then used cement to build fortresses and trenches, forcing the Jin army to come and fight to the death.
The situation is that there is enough money now.
He didn't know whether lazy people from Chameng, Sulu, Sanfoqi, Java, and Zhenla prepared enough food for him to fight the Northern Expedition.
He believed that one point higher in material reserves and military quality, the chances of winning on the front line will be greater and the casualties will be smaller.
"What should I do when I go to Guangnan East Road?"
"Bathed under the glory of the Queen's Prison, the people of Guangnan live no matter how they live, they are better than not taking down these dog officials and these strange people!"
What kind of tiger and wolf word is this?
With such a righteous and honest flattery, you are not afraid of Zong Shuai and Guan Sheng calling you a treacherous person.
The two concubines and Li Qingzhao were stunned.
Laughing.
Zhu Lian was embarrassed and blushed.
She understood what Li Jing meant and couldn't be anxious.
Guangnan East Road, which was messed up by Gao Yang, Luo Zhengui and the foreigners, needs time to sort out.
Guangnan East Road provides gold and silver for the Song Dynasty next year. Do you still expect others to provide food and military resources?
It's so beautiful to think about it.
Zhu Lian sighed a little, it would be great if he could save the official family next year.
He was asked to promote Li Jing and Zhou Ning as the ministers. The couple followed the navy to travel around the mountains and rivers, and they would become stronger and stronger when they played in the Song Dynasty.
"Li Jing, now I will order Lin Zhengfeng to organize the foreign merchant ships seized by Guangzhou Port and go to Fujian to receive troops!"
It seemed as if Li Jing was going around the South China Sea to fight was a difficult decision. As soon as Zhu Lian finished speaking, he immediately remembered the incident of the students of Jixia Academy.
"By the way, tell Lin Zhengfeng, tell him not to forget to send Chen Zhuo, Li Bi and the students from Jixia Academy!"
After saying that, Zhu Lian felt very frustrated.
I have obviously worked very hard, but when I was in Shandong, I seemed to feel that I could let Li Jing go to war and not participate in government affairs.
When I arrived at Fujian Road, I realized that defending the country is not easy.
It was Li Jing, Guan Sheng, Chen Zhuo, Zhou Ning, Huang Can who could handle it when he was in Shandong.
Now, from the Management and Pacification Department to the Shipping Department, the entire officialdom in Guangdong is scattered.
She even wanted to nominate a replacement for Luo Zhengui, but she didn't know who to nominate.
The pressure is great. You must know that the Song Dynasty can now defend the Yellow River defense line. During Zhao Huan's rule, a large number of new officials such as Zong Ze, Chen Guoting, Liu Wei, Zhang Shuye, Li Jing, Guan Sheng made great contributions.
He was born as a Jinshi in Chengtou, Bianliang.
It is not an exaggeration to say that you have unique vision.
As for the official's use, she wanted to ask Li Jing, but she was embarrassed to speak.
She even wanted to ask whether the important ports around the South China Sea under the Shabandal system are as incompetent as the people of Guangzhou Port.
Fortunately, there is still Li Qingzhao, so you can ask Li Qingzhao the problem in your heart.
Li Qingzhao was also very troubled, worried that the Nanyang people were too strong and could collude with the Jin people and attack Shandong after they were provoked.
She really missed the strength of these people in various ports in Nanyang.
Taking advantage of the fact that Li Bi, who was in charge of the interrogation and the students of Jixia Academy did not come, Li Qingzhao personally checked the interrogation records of some of the arrested maritime merchants in various battalions under Li Jing.
