Chapter 324 The consortium that is about to get out of control
According to the formal process, it is the responsibility of the Censorate to impeach the Prime Minister.
But Zhao Huan also made a statement in the court that this matter was not allowed to affect Xu Churen.
In fact, the emperor's intention is already very obvious: the case must be investigated strictly, but it must also ensure that the newly formed court must operate without any impact.
This matter is very easy to deal with. A group of people below came out, convicted and executed.
Afterwards, the two emperors He Ye and Liu Yanzong were unscrupulous in the court and they retorted the Political Affairs Hall to the point where the two sides were about to fight.
Finally, the emperor came out to be a good person and educated these quarrel ministers from the highest pattern of the empire.
It demonstrates the emperor's wisdom and wisdom.
In this way, just now, because the emperor's plan was completed very well, his nose was lifted to the political affairs hall in the sky, and his arrogance was suppressed again.
In this way, the balance of the court was still maintained, and the emperor pretended to be a thug again.
The most important thing is that sharp problems are also thrown out and are quickly solved.
Zhao Huan is now free to play this gameplay.
The ministers have no temper and are constantly grateful to the emperor for their wiseness.
Nowadays, the imperial court has built a large-scale construction, not only the expansion of Tokyo City, but also the most important cities in the Song Dynasty.
It is said that Tokyo City and the northern capital Youzhou have a large number of people migrated into it, and these people need to live in the local area.
New urban areas are taking shape rapidly, and huge demands are no longer met, and businessmen are seeing huge business opportunities here.
Although words such as "firm demand", "hard currency", "high leverage" were not yet in the Song Dynasty at this time, and no one summarized the rules, out of a sense of business, merchants have already smelled the hidden wealth here.
As Zhao Ding, the chief secretary of the Bank of the Song Dynasty, said: the expansion of the prefecture and the capital brought the first huge wealth to the trade of the Song Dynasty. The court opened the door to lending for land buyers, and huge Jiaozi poured into the people through the expansion of the city.
In later Europe, there was a famous economist named Keynes. He said that there was an invisible hand in the market, which could control everything.
This is the most classic theory of the free market. It was regarded as the voice of God by European and American countries for hundreds of years. It was not until the large-scale economic crisis spread to the Western world in the 20th century that people began to think about the positioning of the free economy again.
In this era, there was no classic theory of Keynes.
However, in the Song Dynasty, when commerce and trade had been prosperous for more than a hundred years, while merchants smelled the smell of wealth, there were also court ministers who smelled an unprecedented danger.
Liu Yanzong did not have a deep understanding of the nature of business. The reason why he pointed out that the skyrocketing rents in Xinchengnan District caused the skyrocketing prices was completely in political demands.
As for whether the economy is good, he doesn't care.
But after such an incident, it was obvious that Seo Churen had realized the seriousness of the problem.
The profit-seeking businessmen began to try their best to squeeze money from the people. If the court did not control it at this time, behind the crazy enclosure was a bottomless dark abyss.
Xu Churen didn't know if he should be Liu Yanzong or thank him. If Liu Yanzong had not discovered this time, a storm would soon sweep across Tokyo City and even spread to the four newly built deputy capitals.
If that happens, no matter how many fortifications the Political Affairs Hall provides to the people, no matter how hard the people work every day, they will not be able to afford food.
Huge amounts of funds will be in the shape of a pyramid and concentrated in the hands of some merchants, who will purchase power through money to escort their business empire.
A money-casting empire was rebuilt on the corpses of traditional squire who were suppressed by the emperor.
The power of the imperial court will gradually decline.
The essence of merchants is to pursue profit. They are not bound by morality and do not follow the teachings of saints. In an era when the law is not sound, if they are controlled by greed, they will surely be destroyed.
This is not only Seo Churen realized.
At this time, Zhao Huan, who was pondering in the deep palace, also realized it.
He does not reject the birth of emerging forces. If a country wants to become truly prosperous and strong, it must be accompanied by the birth of new forces, especially the power of capital.
However, the wild beast capital is blood-sucking, and if it is used well, it can benefit the people. Once it loses control, it will be destruction.
As a person who traveled through time in later generations, Zhao Huan had actually expected this situation to occur in the enclosure.
As the top manager, what he has to do is to push things forward, and only after the problem arises, he will use the historical experience he knows to solve it.
Before the problem arose, all the measures he made related to the problem were actually redundant.
Zhao Huan was a little nervous because this incident involved an economic crisis, not a war.
To some extent, economic crisis is more difficult than war.
War is a confrontation between the strength of the army, while economic crisis is complex and combined with multiple factors.
For example, the surge in rents this time was caused by unprecedented expansion.
He believed that this phenomenon occurred in Hangzhou, Jiangling, Guangzhou, Youzhou, and even Chang'an City in Jingzhao Prefecture.
This is a war without gunpowder, and it is time to test the court's control over the local area.
Xu Churen rushed to the Inspectorate urgently, and this matter must be dealt with seriously.
When Xu Churen arrived, Tang Ke, the Minister of Commerce of the Song Dynasty, had already arrived, Zhao Ding, the head of the Royal Bank of the Song Dynasty, also happened to arrive, and the emperor's finance minister, the three envoys of the Zhou Dynasty.
Such a thing obviously also affected their jurisdiction.
Liu Yanzong was drinking tea in the interrogation room, and Yao Zhen calmly told everything.
It is indeed the collusion between officials and businessmen. The Tokyo Chamber of Commerce has established many trading clubs, including many imperial officials.
Because the court had restrictions on the amount of land purchased by individuals, the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce established a Dujia Trading Company to buy land.
In fact, there are more than 30 such trading companies in the hands of the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce, accounting for as much as half of all the land trading companies that purchased the land.
Everyone in the room took a breath. The Shangguan family was so bold that they had exploited loopholes in the court under the emperor's nose.
This is slapping the faces of the prime ministers!
Isn’t this the same nature as the farmland annexation of large families in the past?
All the list is in front of you.
Not only that, the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce has extended its tentacles to Jingdong Road, Hedong Road and Hexi Road with the resources and support provided by the court.
Every moment, huge wealth flows into the pockets of the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce.
Those involved will also share a wealth of wealth.
Rents in towns will rise, the prices of buns in bun shops will rise, and the prices of wine and food in hotels will rise. In order to survive, everyone will mark their labor at a high price.
Those who were originally weak will be even more difficult in such an inflationary world.
The consequences of this are the polarization of wealth in the Song Dynasty, the people are getting poorer, and the court is unconsciously weakened. A huge terrifying consortium will rise, crawling on the land of China with its greed and bloodthirsty face, constantly sucking everyone's blood.
This is absolutely not allowed.
