Chapter 80 Big fights!

"I give an example. The people deposit all their money in the Royal Bank. My Royal Caravan sells the ceramics of the Song Dynasty to Japan or Goryeo, and obtains a net profit of 40%. For example, the specific amount of these 40% is 3,000 guan. Two out of 3,000 guan will be returned to the people who deposit money. If the people want to get the original principal, they can withdraw it at any time."

When he said this, the husbands' eyes lit up, and then looked at each other.

Which one of them can enter the two prefectures is a general? Moreover, the Song Dynasty was already half a business society, knowing accounts and understanding business was the basis for being a prime minister. Even people like Sima Guang and Wang Anshi who were stubborn knew the importance of business.

The prime ministers here are very clear about the business of the Song Dynasty, and they also actively support them in terms of attitude.

After hearing what the emperor said, isn’t this the court openly borrowing money from the people? This is OK? It sounds like it is OK!

The imperial court had powerful sea ships and large-scale official kilns that could be sold overseas to make huge profits. However, now that there is a lack of capital, it is okay to borrow money from the people. What's more, after the profits are distributed to the people, the people can buy things when they have money, and the merchants make money, and the imperial court can collect more taxes.

In this case, this is really a matter of benefiting everyone!

Thinking of this, the prime ministers seemed to understand what the emperor meant just now, and instantly looked at the emperor with a different look. Unexpectedly, the emperor who always shouted and beat and killed had such a brilliant mind. It was really strange.

After such a discussion, the husbands all had their own concerns.

As soon as Wang Boyan returned to his mansion, Zhou Chao hurried to his mansion.

"Mr. Wang, it's not good!"

Seeing the Zhou Dynasty rushing, Wang Boyan asked, "What's wrong?"

"The emperor arrested 153 people in the capital in one breath, including 89 officials. Even Li Zhongxun, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, and Zuo Cao Tianhui, were arrested, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War, and Zuo Cao, were also arrested, and Zhang Shaohan was also thrown into the Heavenly Prison by the Imperial City Department!"

Wang Boyan's expression changed drastically: "Zhang Shaohan is a confidant of King Su, and he has also participated, could it be..."

Zhou Chao sighed: "It seems that King Su is also involved. The emperor summoned us to discuss matters and never mentioned this matter. But he went over to us and asked the Imperial City Guard to arrest people."

"What should I do now? Is the emperor really going to make a big fight?"

Wang Boyan hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind to say, "Let's go and find Tang Ke, what else can Xu Churen? We will jointly seek to see the emperor. We must not let the emperor start a massacre, otherwise it will cause great turmoil!"

However, the Zhou Dynasty was a little scared. The emperor didn't blink his eyes when he killed someone. Is it useful to do this?

"Grandpa Wang, the emperor deliberately avoided us, but he didn't want us to participate. I thought, let's just wait and see, and the emperor did not say he wanted to kill someone."

"Brother Zhou, don't you understand? This time the scope of the involvement is so wide and the number of people, I'm afraid you and I can't imagine it. If the emperor lets do whatever he wants, it will be a shame to the hearts of the scholars and officials in the world. Who dares to serve the court?"

"Mr. Wang, you and I have not participated in it. According to my opinion, I will give up and let the emperor deal with it by myself. Even if the scholars and officials in the world want to make trouble, they will go to find the emperor. We will not blame us for not being on our heads. If we meet the emperor together at this time, the emperor will be furious and throw us into the prison, it will be bad!"

Wang Boyan was originally a greedy person who was afraid of death. He just said he wanted to meet the emperor, but it was also a hot topic. Now, after hearing what Zhou Chao said, his whole body shivered immediately.

"It's okay! Mingzhe is good to protect himself!"

I don't know what happened these days. The common people often saw prisoners being escorted to Beijing from other places. Until they heard in the restaurant that the emperor made a northern expedition a few months ago, the transportation of grain and grass in the two lakes was a big problem. It is said that the transportation of grain and money was embezzled. The emperor was furious and arrested all the officials involved this time.

The next day, a sensation of the entire Tokyo city spread. The emperor wanted to personally kill the imperial officials outside the Five Dynasties. How big is 600! Among them is Zhang Shaohan, a well-known wealthy businessman in the capital. This is a sensational figure in the upper class of Tokyo city. I heard that he and King Su are very close.

The night before, storytellers from major restaurants in Tokyo gave detailed explanations of the incident.

The key point in the interpretation is that these more than 600 people did not care about the war between Hebei and Hedong at all, and wanted to trap the entire Song Dynasty in the midst of water and fire.

I have to say that the gentlemen of the storytelling have very strong eloquence and mobilization ability of the on-site atmosphere. Everyone who listens wants to tear the more than 600 people into pieces, saying that the Holy Emperor is good at killing them.

At this time, in the Su Palace, Zhao Shu, the King Su who was still proud of his youth a few days ago, was sitting at home drinking. His face was gloomy. The princess next to him was crying, making him upset and smashed all the wine on the table.

"Don't cry!"

"King, you must save my brother!"

Her brother is Zhang Shaohan, a wealthy businessman in Tokyo. The Zhang family has a lot of family background. Not only did Zhang Shaohan's sister marry King Su, but Zhang Shaohan's younger brother Zhang Min also served as Minister of Works and an important official in the court.

The Zhang family has a great career, but the famous Tokyo powerful people did not expect that this time they would actually cause food and grass to be launched. If this matter was placed on the previous emperor's dynasty, or even the Shenzong dynasty, they would just arrest a few officials to take the blame, and then they would have done it. Most of the methods of the ministers of the two prefectures were gentle and focused on stabilizing the battle.

But now that emperor is definitely different. Judging from this situation, it is necessary to be eradicated!

"I am unable to protect myself now, how can I save you!"

When the princess heard this, she cried even harder: "King, you are the younger brother of the official family, and the official family will not do anything to you!"

King Su's face turned pale. Even if the emperor would not do anything to him, judging from his posture, the title would definitely be reduced.

So tonight, all the servants in the palace were taken away, leaving only three people to take care of the daily life of everyone in the palace of Su. There were more imperial city guards at the door, and even a fly could not fly in.

While the people in Tokyo were in full swing, the memorial was handed to the emperor like snowflakes overnight.

Some ministers said in the memorial that blunt criticism of the emperor was to shake the foundation of the Song Dynasty. It is absolutely not possible. There are also brave officials who come to the palace overnight to meet the sage.

For a moment, the waves were stormy, and countless people could not swallow their food, as anxious as ants in the hot pan.

These more than 600 people are either scholars or nobles. In the past, if the emperor punished these people severely, how would scholars and nobles raise their heads in front of the people in the future? This is a slap in the face!

No wonder so many people were alarmed. Not only did the memorials in front of the emperor were like snowflakes, but the mansions of the two husbands were also broken. In the eyes of these people, the sky in the Song Dynasty seemed to be about to collapse.

Until the second morning court, when the emperor had just arrived, the emperor had not spoken and the ministers had not spoken yet, a man came in boldly. As soon as this man came in, he knelt on the ground. This was not the courtesy of the ministers of the Song Dynasty in the court.

He only heard the shocking words: "Please kill all those who embezzle food and money to correct the country's foundation!"

As soon as he said this, all the ministers looked at the man in shock.

Wang Boyan shouted angrily: "Qin Hui, you are just a little Zuo Sijian dare to talk nonsense here!"
