Chapter 103: Who's Worse Than Whom

Zhao Yu listened to it for a long time, these people really wanted to be a watch and set up an archway as Zhao Mengjin said. borrowing money from powerful businessmen, that's a nice thing to say, what do you pay back, it's no different from cheating; Moreover, the imperial court has been defeated again and again, the country's reputation has long been bankrupt, and whoever believes in you, even if you borrow it, it is perfunctory and will not meet all your requirements. To put it bluntly, it is plundering in disguise, exchanging very little money for the people's things. And the extraction of the marry's commission, in the final analysis, returns to the matter of overstepping authority, which is tantamount to vain.

Discussion and discussion, the methods of several people are still the same, still limited to the past set of relying on administrative power, and they are not very smart, and they are unable to achieve their goal of fighting quickly and collecting quickly. Zhao Yu listened anxiously, and felt that it was time to show his methods.

"Your Highness, please speak!" Seeing that the prince had spoken, several people stopped discussing and said with a strict hand.

"Does this king, as the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, have the right to manage local affairs outside his territory and dispatch local officials?" Zhao Hao asked everyone.

"This ...... His Royal Highness is the deputy commander of the world's soldiers and horses appointed by His Majesty, and of course has the right to dispatch local officials and manage and supervise local affairs. Ying Jieyan thought for a moment and replied.

"Well, unless Your Majesty has another will to take away His Highness's power, it is not an exaggeration." Jiang Xuan also agreed with Ying Jieyan's statement, and several other people also nodded and had no objection.

"In that case, it is reasonable and compliant for this king to act on behalf of the officials of Guangdong Road when they are not in office, right?" Zhao Hao asked again, several people looked at each other, it was okay to think about it, and they agreed, "In this case, why should this king act in Guangzhou in the name of the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses!" ”

"Ah, Your Highness said it well, even if this Guangzhou Mansion is emptied. He Zhang Zhensun dared to fart again, we are not afraid of this lawsuit going to the court! Zhao Mengjin patted his thigh and said excitedly.

"Shut up, our Shuaifu Army is a division of benevolence and righteousness, a division of justice, and it is by no means a rabble composed of stragglers, how can we do such a thing that angers and resents people, and ruin the name of the righteousness of our Shuaifu Army. You have such dirty thoughts again. This king beheaded you first to set things straight. Zhao Yu was furious when he heard this, and slapped the book case.

"Your Highness, your subordinates are presumptuous, but they are just talking, and they will never dare to act like this." Zhao Mengjin saw that His Royal Highness was angry, and hurriedly asked for guilt, but he was full of slander in his heart, and when he arrived, he said it in vain, and it was not empty.

"Deputy Envoy Pan also said it just now. Guangdong has been hit by war and the people's livelihood is in hardship, so we shouldn't ask for it excessively, right? Zhao Hao didn't care, and Zhao Mengjin, who looked depressed, turned to everyone and asked.

"Your Highness is really benevolent and righteous, and compassion for the people's livelihood is really a blessing for all people." Pan An was worried that His Highness would abuse it if he knew that he had power, but now it seems that he is too careful, and said with a little shame.

"Yes, after our army entered the city, there was no crime in the autumn, and all the people praised His Highness for his good management of the army." Jiang Xuan said. His Highness's words made him feel very fond of himself as a student.

"Your Excellency, I applauded it." Zhao Hao waved his hand and said, "This king thinks that it is a righteous move for us to expel the Tartars and recover Guangzhou. Can you agree with it? ”

"Of course, it is a righteous move for His Highness to lead the troops to restore the land, this cannot be questioned, even if the imperial court learns about it, it will issue a decree to commend it, how can everyone be suspicious of what His Highness did?" Jiang Xuan replied without hesitation.

"Jiang Zhuan's envoy is correct, although His Royal Highness has not obtained the will, but there is nothing wrong with waiting for the opportunity to recover Guangzhou. If the court asks for His Royal Highness because of this. Wouldn't it chill the hearts of the heroes of the world, who would rise up against the tyrannical yuan. Ying Jieyan saw that His Highness's digression was getting farther and farther away, which made him a little confused, and he couldn't figure out the purpose of His Highness's actions for a while. But there was nothing wrong with what he asked, and he could only agree.

"That being the case. The king defeated the Tartars, and it was only right for him to collect all their possessions for military use! "Ying Jieyan has the deepest seniority in the house, the highest position, and the 'old man', his words have the final word, Zhao Yu also said as if he was relieved.

"It is a rule that the seizures of the battlefield are used to replenish military supplies and reward soldiers. In addition, His Royal Highness has the right to dispose of the spoils of war for one side. Jiang Xuan replied.

"Well, there is nothing wrong with the king killing the rebels, punishing the collaborators, and confiscating all their family assets!" Zhao Yu said excitedly.

"Of course, Your Highness is ......" Jiang Xuan replied inertly, but suddenly thought of something.

"Yes, the king's intention is to confiscate the rebellious family property of the thief leader and the rebellious enemy, so as to set an example and make them understand that there is a price to be paid for betraying the Great Song Dynasty." Zhao Hao let out a long sigh after speaking, it was too difficult to talk to these people, and such a little thing had to go around in a big circle. To put it simply, in fact, you have to fight local tyrants, otherwise where will you get money.

"......" Zhao Yu said as soon as he spoke, and everyone who had responded enthusiastically just now was silent as if they had taken dumb medicine, but there was no way to refute it, who made them just say that His Highness did a good job, and he did the right thing! And Zhao Mengjin had a gloating expression, just now he said that he would be forcibly recruited, and they taught themselves a lesson one by one. Now the prince's idea is more ruthless than his own, and it is said that he is going to grab it openly, and his ability to set up the archway is much stronger than theirs.

In fact, everyone also knows that Guangzhou's maritime trade has been prosperous for hundreds of years, creating many powerful families and giant businessmen, and these people often have tens of millions of family fortunes, and they are indeed fat sheep. However, these people will inevitably have ties with those in power for their own interests, and they are full of ulterior transactions, but these families have been rooted in the local area for many years, and their power is intertwined and deep-rooted, and they often involve the whole body at a moment's notice, and the court also needs to rely on them to pay taxes. Therefore, no one dared to attack their ideas easily, even if the Mongols first arrived, they had to rely on them to maintain the grassroots control, and His Highness's idea to hit them was tantamount to taking millet from the fire in the eyes of everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this official thinks that His Highness's plan is feasible." After a period of silence, Cai Wanyi suddenly got up and said.

"Cai Tiju, please speak!" Zhao Yu was also panicked when he saw that no one responded, he couldn't skip these subordinates and personally lead the troops to raid his home, and his heart was also hot when he saw Cai Wanyi coming out for himself.

Cai Wanyi was born just a city official, and he had the least seniority in front of these new bigwigs in the mansion, and the original official position was the lowest, and he also knew that he was promoted by the prince to suddenly ascend to a high position and be despised by everyone. Therefore, after the reorganization, he acted more low-key, and he always spoke little and rarely expressed his own opinions when discussing matters, and mostly echoed his voice, but he still stood up at this critical moment......
