Chapter five hundred and sixty-eight back to Beijing
In fact, Zhao Huan was very anxious.
The Northeast has been under war for more than half a year, but Tang Ke has implemented a policy of gentleness to those century-old landlords and nobles who have been eating people but not spitting bones.
If it weren't for the place where Li Chongguang was installed, Zhao Huan really suspected that the place he had just captured would become too big and would even be restored at any time.
Zhao Huan was very dissatisfied with Tang Ke's work.
After reading countless memorials from Tang Ke, Zhao Huan finally made up his mind to recall Tang Ke back to the capital.
Tang Ke is a slow-witted person and is indeed not suitable for the situation in the Northeast.
Originally, Zhao Huan was thinking of sending him away and letting Yu Yunwen play well in the center. By the way, with Fatty Tang's gentle personality, he could balance the situation in the Northeast.
Now it seems that the situation is a little more serious than I expected.
Yu Yunwen has also gained a firm foothold in the center, and the Northeast is now short of a person who kills and ruthlessly.
This reminded Zhao Huan of Li Gang, who has a relatively straightforward personality.
Li Gang has been in the Privy Council very steadily over the years.
He also made great contributions to the promotion of military and political reform in the Song Dynasty.
Logically speaking, putting Li Gang in the Northeast was indeed aggrieved.
However, now this is the best choice.
So Zhao Huan licked his face and invited Li Gang to a hot pot.
"Mr. Li, I can't sleep."
"What worries do the official family have? I am willing to share the burden with the official family."
"The war in the northwest has begun, and the circulation of Jiaozi in the northeast is extremely slow."
"The disease of the Northeast lies in the old nobles. As the officials said in "Economic Theory", most of the production resources and capital are in the hands of a small number of powerful people, and it is easy to have huge gaps between the rich and the poor. The rich will store their money, and the money circulated among the people will naturally be less."
"What Mr. Li said is very true. This is exactly what I am worried about. How should I solve it?"
"Of course, we should prescribe the right medicine. We should take out a small number of people who have mastered most of the production resources and capital to show it out to see if they are following the laws of the Song Dynasty."
"I understand." Zhao Huan nodded and pretended to say, "Tang Ke mentioned to me in the memorial that he was seriously ill and could not stay in the north for a long time. Who should I ask now to stay in the northeast?"
Li Gang said: "I am willing to go."
"I can't help it. How can I go to that bitter and cold place if I can't help it."
"I will devote my whole life to His Majesty until I die."
The queen on the side said, "The official family, Mr. Li is also full of sincerity, so why not follow Mr. Li's wishes?"
Zhao Huan looked unbearable: "Don't say anything more."
"Please help your majesty!"
Zhao Huan pretended to drink a large glass of wine and sighed, "Since Mr. Li is really going to go, I have to fulfill Mr. Li's wish."
Li Gang prepared and went north with his men and the emperor's appointment letter on a day when the clouds were clear and foggy were clear in Tokyo.
After leaving Juyong Pass, he went straight to the capital.
Of course, the official position of the Privy Councillor must have been removed.
Like Tang Ke, Li Gang was awarded some false titles.
Li Gang was named the Grand Tutor and ranked third Duke.
He also named Li Gang the first-class title of Duke Linbei and below the king.
In this way, ten thousand elite soldiers escorted Li Gang all the way north.
The withering people's livelihood in the Northeast and the stagnant trade like stagnant water were too heavy to move under the clouds at the beginning of the year.
Only animal fur can be sold here to the Central Plains, and other industries are almost in a vacuum state.
Some even remained in the first year of Jingkang.
For example, agriculture.
After the Jin Dynasty was destroyed, agriculture in the Northeast naturally abides by the laws of the Song Dynasty.
However, due to the lack of supervision and management systems and strength, the current agricultural law of the Song Dynasty is basically a decoration in the Northeast.
The large aristocratic families and nobles were very happy to collect taxes, and they also made many false accounts to the court.
The farmers in the Northeast and the farmers in the Central Plains are simply people from two worlds.
The productivity of farmers in the Central Plains was largely liberated.
But in the northeast, it is still tied to the land by the landlord.
The worst thing is that the rice in Northeast China is ripe every season, the farmland cultivation is limited, and the yield is extremely low.
This further restricts economic development.
Just think about it, you can’t even eat enough, so use it to do something else?
Tang Ke’s biggest problem was that he failed to solve the aristocratic families and nobles in the Northeast in more than half a year.
This is the root of all problems.
Tang Ke wanted to slowly change the situation there in a gentle way, which was unrealistic in Zhao Huan's opinion.
It is also something that Zhao Huan does not allow.
Jiaozi's promotion and distribution are not a joke, and the structure of the private economy cannot be ignored.
To develop a place, the first step is to eliminate the original resource monopolists.
Tang Ke received the order but had different thoughts.
In his opinion, there was another very important reason why the emperor transferred himself back: his relationship with Duke Chong was crossed.
The emperor put Duke Chongguo to Xianzhou, which was a hard work.
But he brought most of the resources to Duke Chong, allowing Duke Chong to quickly gain fame in the Northeast.
Obviously, this step has come outside the scope of the emperor's control.
March in the 12th year of Jingkang.
Tang Ke returned to the capital and his official position was a matter of Pingzhang, the disciple of the Secretariat.
This official position is thought to be the central prime minister, but there is no specific position.
Tang Ke had no choice but to stay at home, eat hot pot and barbecue, and live a comfortable life.
One day, Zhao Huan arrived at Tang Ke's mansion.
Tang Ke and his son Tang Rui were discussing how to improve Dongpo Po Po. When he saw the emperor coming, he hurriedly welcomed him.
"Your Majesty, I have been in a position to welcome you, I hope to forgive you!"
"There is no difference between the monarch and the ministers today. I sit down and I also want to eat some barbecue you roasted."
March is the season for willow branches to sprout.
Zhao Huan and Tang Ke and his son sat by the pond, concentrating on roasting barbecue.
Zhao Huan suddenly said, "Tang Qing, thank you so much for your hard work over the years."
"It is also my three lives that I am lucky to be able to participate in the new policy of the government."
Zhao Huan drank a sip of wine and felt a little sad: "I miss Mr. Xu."
Tang Ke remained silent.
"Tang Qing, I'm not dissatisfied with you, I have another important thing for you to do."
"I wish to obey Your Majesty's orders."
"Hedaolu is located in the northwest, and is the conflict between the Central Plains and the Western Regions. It needs a capable minister to help me manage it."
Tang Ke sighed in his heart, as expected.
Now, the Northeast has transferred Li Gang.
There was another war in the northwest, and the Heluo was located on the front line, so the emperor would definitely arrange someone who could calm the situation.
Hedaolu is an extension of the Northwest Military Region. The Lanyue Army is stationed in Guazhou, and Yue Fei is also stationed in Xingqing Prefecture.
However, these two people are from the army after all, and they are much worse in terms of jurisdiction and economy.
Tang Ke had long guessed that he was the best candidate.
So he didn't have a hurry to return to the capital and just stayed at home every day.
On this day when the emperor came to him, he knew that he had something to do.
"I accept the order!"
Tang Ke accepted the emperor's appointment without saying a word.
Tang Ke's mind was aimless and he heard that the mutton from Heluo was very delicious?
After eating the barbecue, Zhao Huan left.
Tang Rui asked in confusion: "There are many capable ministers in the court. Why does Your Majesty have to arrange for his father to go to Hetao?"
"Jiaozi issued an excessive amount, and this problem must be solved through war."
"Jiaozi issued too much, and it would be a waste of money when he stopped fighting.
