Chapter 476: Selling Imperial Property and Raising Eunuchs
If the technique is not broken, how can it be cut off.
After listening to Liu Xing's words, Zong Ze completely understood that Liu Xing had already regarded the eunuch system as a far greater threat than the threat of foreign races.
In the face of such a threat, Liu Xing's choice cannot be said to be wrong, but it is definitely not the best choice. Because after all, those eunuchs are all living people, and if they are killed at will, and at the same time, the blood stains the palace, and this matter will definitely bring a new opportunity for the Southern Dynasty to attack the Northern Dynasty.
However, Zong Ze also knew that if he did not cut off the root of the eunuch system and the harem system that had been followed for thousands of years by such ruthless means, there would inevitably be a day when the eunuch party and the harem would make a comeback.
In the court battles and political struggles, although Zong Ze has been in officialdom for a long time, he does not have the outstanding ability and insight of Li Gang, Seed Master Dao and others. He can only look at the matter in front of him from the perspective of a leading general.
So what will the leading generals do when they encounter such a thing? There can only be one answer: endless kills.
As a result, Liu Xing's method of killing Ran Min to eradicate the eunuchs was reluctantly recognized by the old marshal and could only accept it.
But acceptance is acceptance, and only one question goes, and another problem comes back immediately.
After a period of contemplation, after Zong Ze and Liu Xing sat down for half a cup of tea, the old marshal looked sideways at Liu Xing and said, "The old and middle-aged eunuchs have all been killed, so what do the remaining little eunuchs do the Taifu want?" ”
What the rest of the eunuchs wanted, that was the question.
The old and the old were killed, and those people were a group of people who had a certain ability to work. But the little eunuchs were different, they were all children between the ages of six and fourteen. If they were to be driven out of the palace, they would certainly not be able to fend for themselves.
There are few eunuchs who want to enter the palace from birth. Either the family is guilty, like Lu Sheng. His father committed a great crime and had his head cut off. He became a sinner, forcibly castrated, and sent to the palace as a slave.
Either when the family is poor and so poor that they can't open the pot, their parents will choose one of the brothers to cut their love and send him to the palace as a slave.
But no matter which of these two reasons, the remaining little eunuchs now have no one to take them in when they go home, and they can't do it at all, so they can't be thrown out and left to fend for themselves.
This was what Zong Ze had in mind, but Liu Xing, who he thought of, had already thought about it on the way back to the Heavenly Council.
"Public auction of palace property and utensils, and the proceeds of the establishment of a palace supervisor charity association."
Liu Xing spoke. A sneer loomed on his face: "If the royal property outside the city is sold, it can at least be exchanged for hundreds of thousands of stone grain." The various treasures in the palace that have not been plundered by the golden dog can also be exchanged for millions of stone grains. Use this food to feed the underage eunuchs to read and write, turn them into a group of scholars, and then give them the opportunity to apply what they have learned. ”
"Ahh
As soon as he heard this, Zong Ze was once again stunned and dumbfounded, and said with a meal: "You, you, you want to sell the imperial property for money and grain, so as to educate the little eunuch!" This, this, this is a practice of committing dragon shame and being extremely disobedient! ”
"Imperial property! Hehe, where did the royal property come from? Isn't it the support of the people, and the royal family has intensified exploitation and extortion? Seeing Zong Ze surprised. Liu Xing smiled disapprovingly.
Turning sideways and facing Zong Ze, Liu Xing said: "Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat." Whoever the people are, the royal is the boat. But if it is only now that it is restored, the people have begun to live in peace, and there are still many families who are still living in hardship. The royal family is still full of gardens and luxuries, which in itself is an expression of keeping the boat out of the water. ”
After a slight pause, Liu Xing smiled contemptuously again, and then said: "They all say that I am today's Mengde, but Zong Shuai, you know it very well. I have no intention of acting for Song. I don't want to be my own home. People are valuable because they have self-knowledge, and I know that I am not the material of the emperor. But what's the matter. If I want to protect the Great Song of his Zhao family, his Zhao family will have to use me, listen to me, and follow my routine. Otherwise, hum, it's a big deal as I come softly, and I go gently again. Wave your sleeves and don't take away a cloud. ”
Inadvertently. Liu Xing's mouth actually popped out of the poems in the later life.
Hearing the last sentence of the poem, Zong Ze said secretly: A good sentence with a wave of his sleeves does not take away a cloud. Today, the vast majority of the two million troops of the Northern Dynasty only recognize your orders, do not listen to the royal family, and do not listen to me. If you wave your hand and leave, won't you immediately reproduce the scene of the division of feudal towns and warlords in the late Tang Dynasty!
Wave your sleeves. You're gone. But the officials everywhere, who are now really able to do good deeds, have become believers in you. As soon as you leave, they will have a collective resignation. Who cares about the mountains and rivers that have finally been reorganized? Who will govern this restored country?
With a wave of your sleeves, you're gone, and the dragon coins that are being prepared and ready to be issued are in the hands of Yelu Bashen. As soon as you leave, that Khitan is afraid that he will immediately guard the Hunter Valley and become a rich man in the world. The imperial court was immediately exhausted, and they were starved to death......
The old marshal had a grudge in his heart but couldn't change it, so he could only speak after a deep groan: "Taifu's talent and Taifu's thoughts are the blessings of the Great Song Dynasty and the pillars of the world." If Taifu insists on this, I won't say more. There is just one thing, I still have to remind Taifu. Historically, the sale of royal property has been done only before the death of the country. If Taifu does such a thing at a time when all industries are waiting to be prosperous, even if the result is good, I am afraid that he will inevitably be criticized by the people of the world, and he will be attacked by the Southern Dynasty. ”
"Southern Dynasty?" Hearing Zong Ze's words, Liu Xing smiled disdainfully: "For my dynasty in the Southern Dynasty, does he still have the strength to fight now?" Zhong Xiang and Yang Mi now occupy the entire Jinghu South Road and are marching towards Guangnan West Road. As long as the two of them successfully seized Guangxi and occupied Guangdong, half of the southern part of the Southern Dynasty would be lost. ”
As he spoke, Liu Xing pulled out a small map of sheepskin from his sleeve. After the square arrived in front of Zong Ze, he pointed to the top and continued: "The army of our dynasty will find an opportunity to beat him again, and see if we can take Hubei and Huaidong." Hehe, when the time comes, will the remaining rivers and mountains in the hands of King Zhao Gou still have the ability to support his small dynasty? ”
After a pause at this point, a cold smile appeared on Liu Xing's face: "The enemy is weak and I am strong, and he dares to send people into my Northern Dynasty to make trouble again, just to give me an excuse to send troops to fight him in Hubei and Huaidong." Therefore, if the Southern Dynasty doesn't come to attack me, I'll be angry, but I'll be very happy when he comes. (To be continued.) )
