Chapter 218: Keeping it is useful
Zhao Ta saw Wei Bochu today, and suddenly woke up, he thought of what Brother Cha and Tong Guan had told him, and it was not a good thing to have a high degree of merit, and he had been low-key in the past, also in order not to attract attention, but now his sudden rise will definitely cause an earthquake in the political arena, his father may be able to accommodate a capable son, but his brothers will not like to have an older brother and younger brother who surpasses them
Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the civil official system implemented is to restrain the imperial power with relative power, more than 100 years of literati in charge of the government has been deeply rooted, although they are loyal to the monarch for the country, but they have been accustomed to being the master of the house, and the emperor shares power, the successive rulers are also to safeguard the interests of the scholars, curb the expansion of the imperial power as their own responsibility, naturally do not want to see a strong royal family children, challenge their authority, don't look at the current court, these literati are deceitful, intriguing, trying to control the other party to the death, fighting like black-eyed chickens, but once they feel that the status of the scholars is threatened, they will unite together, attack and kill, and then quickly
Zhao Ta saw the cruelty of the political struggle from Wei Bochu's body, and also felt the breath of danger, although they haven't made trouble yet, it is because they are afraid of the invincible iron army in their hands, Tong Guan, the old guy said that he would kill him with his oath to help each other, and he didn't believe it, but there is one thing that Zhao Ta still agrees with, that is, without the war, his political career will be over
Once peace comes, Zhao Ta believes that the first thing those guys in the court will do is to divide and disintegrate their own army, in the past, Zhao Ta was confident to maintain the purity of his own army, and his loyalty, but under the temptation of high-ranking officials and beautiful women, how many people can follow him, he dare not say...
No matter what others do, I will swear to follow the second master to the death, even if you are dismissed from office and become a civilian, only me, Zhao Xin, can eat a bowl of porridge, and will not let the second master be hungry and freeze Zhao Xin stood up and said
Hehe, I am a poor child, no matter how poor I am, I have the strength to farm and sell coolies, and when the time comes, as long as the prince doesn't think I'm in the way, Zhao said with a smile
Yes, it is interesting to live with the prince, power and wealth are just things outside the body, one day the prince is free, I still have hundreds of acres of thin fields at home, and everyone is happy enough, and Gao Pet also followed the fun
Where will it be as miserable as you say, how can the prince be a prince, no matter how poor he is, he will not be like Wei Bochu, the palace always needs a guard, a small housekeeper who sprinkles water and sweeps the floor, I don't want to be paid, as long as the prince takes care of the food, Zhao Lian put a piece of meat in his mouth and said with a smile
Okay, when the time comes, you sweep the floor and watch the house, I will take care of the accounts and collect the rent for the prince, our brothers are still happy with the prince, at this time, Zhao Zhi settled it, Wei Bochu returned to the tent and answered
Hehe, okay, after the war, I will resign from my post, let's find a blessed land with beautiful mountains and rivers to live that free life together, Zhao Ta said with a smile, but he understands in his heart that this is to say, and now the Great Song Dynasty is like a building that will fall, the war clouds on the land of China are thick, and it is impossible for him to stay out of the matter, for himself, for his brothers, for the people of the Great Song Dynasty, no matter whether there is a sword and gun in front of him or a conspiracy, he can only continue to go on, and he can only fight for a good life
......
The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Zhao Ta was woken up by a noise, looking at the sky, he could only get up and sleep, and sleep until he woke up naturally, it was already a very distant thing for him, he rubbed his eyes and walked out of the bed, Zhao Xin hurriedly followed, put on a brocade robe for him, although it was summer, but the northwest was still very cool in the morning and evening, and the matter of eating watermelon by the stove was also here
Lord Wei The prince should give it to you has already been given to you what you are kneeling here early in the morning Do you not look down on that bit of money Zhao Tan heard Jian Xi screaming at the tip of his voice sarcastically before he got close
Caomin didn't mean this, and asked Xiye to give me a gift, I want to see the prince again, and listen to the voice, that is, Wei Bochu was full of begging and helplessness in his words
Hehe, Lord Wei, I forgot, back then, the door of your house was not easy to enter, and it was not easy to see you, could it be that your status was higher than that of the prince, and you could see it when you wanted to see it, and I was not moved, and I was still blocking there...,
This thing is not a respect, Xi Ye kept it for a drink, Wei Bochu actually groped out the two ingots that were given to him yesterday from his arms, and presented them with both hands
Seeing Xi, are you itching again, won't you talk well, Zhao Ta turned around and saw Wei Bochu kneeling on the ground, and the guards on duty stopped him outside the cordon, seeing Xi Zheng sneering and counting him, but he didn't have the arrogance on his body yesterday, and he was still begging to see Xi to see him, Lord Wei, please take this slave, I don't know how to count the etiquette, I will come down and teach him a good lesson, Zhao Ta stretched out his hand and said
Wang Ye Caomin didn't dare to think about it all night yesterday, Caomin didn't want to go back, he wanted to stay under the prince's account to serve, he only asked for food and clothing, and he asked the prince to take him in, but he didn't expect Wei Bochu not only couldn't afford it, but kowtowed to Zhao Ta
Lord Wei, I can't agree to your request, I don't think there is a need to explain the reason, Zhao Ta, who has always been very polite to Wei Bochu, sank his face at this time and flatly refused
Prince, I know what I am, first serve Cai Xiang, and then cast Wang Huang to rebel for glory, for the world, despised, spurned by everyone, like a lost dog, a rat crossing the street, this is also shameless to live in the world, but there are parents at home, children and grandchildren around the knees, I can't bear to abandon them, suffer in the world, so I live in the world, do my duty as a father and son, Wei Bochu cried bitterly, the world said, the world said, Prince Yan is chivalrous and righteous, yesterday when I saw it, sure enough, the villain and Prince Yan are officials in the same dynasty, but there is no intersection, and the villain has also done things that are not conducive to the prince, but when the villain is the most down, it is the prince who pulls the villain
Since Lord Wei understands, he shouldn't let this king inevitably become an enemy in the future, Zhao Ta said bluntly
The prince villain is now desperate, if the prince is willing to take in, he will be repaid with death, there is no second heart, Wei Bochu still does not give up, swearing, cursed, said in his heart, he understands very well, now although the prince asks the people below not to embarrass himself, but his own enemies are too much, the prince can't care about these trivial things every day, sooner or later, he will be killed, now this is his most reckless chance to live, how can he easily let go
Alas, Lord Wei, you have embarrassed this king... Zhao Ta looked at the poor Wei Bochu, sighed, and said in a deep voice: Lord Wei, your official body has been removed, and if you want to repeat the difficulties, you also understand that this king can't do it, but you are still willing to stay
How dare the prince and villain dare to restore his official body, besides, I have long been dead to the official career, I just want my family to have food and clothing, and I don't sleep on the streets, this period of experience has made Wei Bochu see the darkness and cruelty of officialdom, and his mind is also indifferent
Well, since Lord Wei is like this, he is now the master of the shogunate in charge of money and grain, I don't know if he is willing to give in, Zhao Ta said, the status of the staff in the Song Dynasty is not high, it is equivalent to a personal assistant, the state is not responsible, and all the expenses of wages and benefits are borne by the shogunate
Xie Wang Ye took in the villain, knocked on the prince Wei Bochu, and said that he agreed, which was regarded as the establishment of the employment relationship between the two, and he was Zhao Ta's personal secretary from then on
Seeing Xi, you first pay Lord Wei 200 yuan for settling in, let him settle his family first, Zhao Ta instructed to see Xidao, Lord Wei, after you settle your family, go to Taiyuan first, I will write a letter to inform Senator He, and he will arrange it properly
The prince's great kindness and subordinates will never live up to the grace of the prince's life today, and Wei Bochu will give the gift again
The army is about to start, Zhao Ta arranged someone to escort Wei Bochu away, and then raised the tent to point out the artillery, and now defeated Xiao Heda's department, the future of the Western Xia, there is no more to fight, the army has no worries, the mighty slaughter to Xiazhou City, Zhao Ta did not ride a horse today, but sat in the carriage that has not been used for a long time, he is lying in the carriage on all fours, seeing Xi rubbing his head for him, these days with his brain is excessive, he has a headache, everyone knows that Wei Bochu is not a good person, but he takes him in, puzzled, and he does not explain, only says that it is useful to keep
Zhao Ta was lying there, but his mind still couldn't calm down, there were too many things to consider, and now the military victory did not mean that a complete victory had been achieved, and many things after the war still needed him to be appeased, and to stabilize people's hearts and develop the economy was the most urgent, but everything needed money and food
Although the troops occupied a very wide area, but mostly barren land, suitable for cultivation and grazing was only limited to the Hetao area, although it was known as the granary, but because of the siltation of the Yellow River, the canals were still mostly built in the Han and Tang dynasties, the irrigation capacity was greatly reduced, and the grain produced could not be self-sufficient, which was also one of the reasons why the Western Xia continued to wage war against the Song Dynasty, and in order to support the war against the Xia, the treasury of the two roads in Hedong and Shaanxi had long been exhausted, and it was not realistic to rely on the support of the two places
Years of military disasters have caused a serious blow to the production in this area, the war has swept some areas of Hedong and most of the Xixia Henan, the reduction of grain production has become a foregone conclusion, and the influx of hundreds of thousands of troops will aggravate the food shortage in these areas, and in two months, the northwest region will enter the winter, many people will have no food for the winter, so the newly occupied areas must be unstable, which requires a large amount of grain from the interior to survive the shortage, where does the money come from, Zhao Ta's eyes are on the salt (to be continued, if you like this work, you are welcome to vote for the recommendation, Your support is my biggest motivation for the monthly pass)
