Chapter 225: The Breach (15)
Zhao Qian has been a bit 'out of business' recently, and the news was soon told to Zhao Jiaren. Zhao Jiaren chatted with his wife about the matter after dinner, "Some people say that Da Lang has intervened in the jewelry industry for his relatives. ”
"You believe it?" Qin Yuzhen asked a little sarcastically.
Zhao Jiaren said indifferently: "I thought you would be angry with those complainants. ”
"I was angry with those guys when you were running the Nautical Guild, and when I saw their faces after making money, I decided never to be angry with them again. They don't deserve it. ”
"Hahaha." Zhao Jiaren couldn't help laughing. After laughing, he gently pressed his wife's hand, "I really married a good woman." ”
Qin Yuzhen shook off Zhao Jiaren's hand and said unhappily: "I don't want to hear you evaluate me." ”
"Okay. I can't express it clearly. Actually, I'm very happy, and I always feel happy to hear such noble and decent words. Zhao Jiaren leaned back on the sofa after speaking.
Qin Yuzhen gave Zhao Jiaren a roll of his eyes, but after a while, he smiled and said, "I'm also very happy that you don't use those reasons to talk about Da Lang." ”
"Of course, I am evaluating Da Lang with my reasoning, he did not intervene in this matter for the sake of his relatives, it was only because of his relatives that he knew that there was such a thing. The establishment of industry standards is the country's government affairs, and it is the right thing for Dalang to do. ”
Listening to her husband's words, Qin Yuzhen's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she thought for a while before calming down. She asked, "Why don't you give Da Lang some advice?" ”
"Who gave me advice back then? Everyone chooses how to educate themselves and what to learn. Daro's direction seems good to me. ”
"How many people will he offend by doing this."
"I'm afraid of offending people? I've killed tens of millions of people. As the country enters a new stage, it is natural to follow the methods of the new stage. The old things still want to be sustained by the remnants of their vitality, and if we want to keep the world in their best interest, we have to eradicate them. That's the price of progress. ”
"So many people followed you with money back then, this is the price of their following?" Qin Yuzhen couldn't help but mock Zhao Jiaren.
"If they really follow me, it is impossible for Da Lang to offend them, because I fully support Da Lang's current approach. If you can offend them, it means that they are following their own interests. Moreover, it was not only those who invested in the seafaring guilds that participated in the nautical guilds, but also the laborers who produced ships and sailors who were ten times more than the investors. It is these people who bear the heavy burden in the war. ”
When Qin Yuzhen heard this, her eyes immediately sharpened, but after a while, they became much softer. She laughed: "You say this reminds me of your demand that the Nautical Guild must give 10% of the profits to the sailors, and the sailors have the right to invest a fixed 20% in the transportation of goods. But aren't you afraid that these people will follow others? ”
"Those laborers rely on the shipping industry, does it make a difference to them what they ship on board? When the shipping industry is thriving, they earn more. When the shipping industry is depressed, their incomes are reduced, which is directly affected by the country's economic development. ”
Qin Yuzhen asked while thinking: "Offended those wealthy families...... If they don't deliver supplies, it will naturally affect shipping. ”
"Without transportation, merchants and pearls just can't go overseas. Some people feel that their interests are damaged and Da Lang is angry, but once the level of the luxury industry engaged in by Da Song is really implemented, many people who don't know how deep the water for pearl production is dare to join the production ranks. This kind of production will greatly increase the output. In order to be able to sell as soon as possible, they need to go to sea even more. Some people have vacated their seats, and these newcomers are only happier than others. ”
"Don't they hate Da Lang even more?"
"I'll tell you something." Zhao Jiaren told Qin Yuzhen that the Empress Dowager of the Yuan Dynasty had killed Jiang Guangtou, and after telling the story, Zhao Jiaren said with a smile: "Jiang Guangtou looks at the power and power, but he doesn't understand that the Yuan State fully imitates the Great Song Dynasty system, and the army eats the financial rice of the Yuan State. A weak woman is nothing to them, just a weak woman. After Jiang Guangtou's death, she was able to calm the situation by taking pity on her weakness, not because she had any ability to penetrate the world, but because the Yuan army immediately went hungry without financial food. So I'm very satisfied with what Dalang is doing now, he understands what this is and what he is. Only those who are with the court are their own people. The biggest characteristic of their own people is that they may not be prosperous but they will definitely lose everything, you have also experienced the surrender of Lin'an, and you know very well that after the Song traitors defected to Mongolia, their power and status increased greatly in a short period of time. Because those people don't rely on the state in the first place, if they are in a country other than the Great Song Dynasty, they are also powerful and powerful, and they are also capable of operating a lot of capital on their own. When the court is strong, of course, they have to pretend to be loyal to the court, and when the court is weak, they will fly separately when the disaster comes. ”
Qin Yuzhen experienced that era, and was very clear about the scene of civilian officials and military generals rushing to surrender to the Mongols after the surrender of General Lin'an. After the Mongols withdrew, the Song traitors they supported did not immediately submit to the imperial court, but relied on the food and soldiers in their hands to confront the imperial court. Thinking of the past, Qin Yuzhen shivered a few times. She remembered that when the gang of Song traitors were killed and Zhao Jiaren wanted to liquidate these Song traitors from the Jinshi family, many people came to plead for mercy. Many people tried their best to come to Qin Yuzhen to intercede, and Qin Yuzhen found out at that time that she really had very, very, very many distant relatives. immediately really understood that her husband Zhao Jiaren's words that 'the upper echelons of the Great Song Dynasty are all relatives' is not a joke.
These people did not come out to speak when their relatives were traitors, and they did not try their best to stop them. Except for a very small number of families, they did not publicly announce their complete disconnection from the Song traitors. They were completely finished in the Song traitor, but they just appeared, of course, not to keep the Song traitor, but to prevent the imperial court from liquidating the Song traitor, and when the Song traitor was liquidated, the land of the Song traitor family was liquidated.
The death of a few members of the family and the raiding of certain families are a loss for those big families, but it is not a loss that breaks the muscles and bones. When the family is connected to the point where it loses all its land, the family is truly ruined. At that time, Zhao Jiaren, the left prime minister and privy envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, publicly told everyone in the Great Song Dynasty that the Song traitor was such an end. If the family wants to protect itself, it should do a good job of patriotic education.
Recalling the tragedy at that time, Qin Yuzhen shuddered again. But she felt that she was not as nervous as before, and when she finished liquidating the Song traitors, more than half of the upper family of the Great Song Dynasty fell to the ground. The later Great Song Dynasty was not weakened because of this, but because of the fall of these people, they mastered huge resources. The imperial court became stronger and stronger, so strong that it not only recovered the old land of the Northern Song Dynasty, but also recovered the hometown of China, and regained a firm grasp of Yinshan, which had been lost in China for 6 or 700 years. Completely reverse the offensive and defensive momentum with the northern barbarians.
"Why don't you tell Da Lang about this." Qin Yuzhen asked her husband a little faintly.
"Da Lang walks this way, he will definitely understand. It would be better for him to fully understand on his own, and it was not yet time for me to remind him. And you are Da Lang's mother, in this world, only you can make him forget his reason and forget his ideals, and only you can make him focus on you. It doesn't matter if he's in favor or against. As long as you say something, Dalang will definitely take it to heart. You don't need any reason, you're, and that's enough. When I die, you're the only person in the world who can't refuse......"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Qin Yuzhen was furious, "You're still a few months younger than me!" How could you die first! ”
"Women live a few years longer than men......"
"Say it again! And so on! You have said these things, can you say something else? Qin Yuzhen almost shouted.
"What I'm saying is not true. I'm talking about your future as a mother! If you can't be Da Lang's backing, who else can he rely on......"
"He's married......"
"No one can compare with their parents, especially a good mother like you."
Qin Yuzhen fell silent. She only felt that her mind was fluctuating, she couldn't understand anything, she didn't want to think about anything. At this time, she only felt the regret and loss of being a mother. Does the son really value himself as his husband says? Qin Yuzhen did not have such confidence.
The next day, Zhao Jiaren continued his daily work, and after the morning meeting, the news about Yuan Guo was delivered. Zhao Jiaren didn't want to watch it, because yesterday's conversation couldn't help but skim it a little. He was a little surprised by this, in the previous news, the civil officials of the Yuan State still wanted to push Hao Kang to succeed him as the lord of the Yuan State with the support of Wei Jingwang. Although the situation was suppressed after Bao Xiweak killed Jiang Guangtou, the army had a great deal of guilt in his heart after all, and some of the troops chose to defect directly to Hao Kang's side. Another part of the army chose to take root with Hao Rui.
At this time, the matter of the Queen Mother Bao Xi Weak suddenly began to circulate in the Yuan Kingdom, not the story of Bao Xi Weak and Hao Ren that the people of the Yuan Kingdom were familiar with, but the secrets that those people did not know at all. Bao Xiwan was originally a woman from Songjiang Mansion and had already married. Because he saved Hao Ren, Hao Ren took Bao Xi back to Dadu when the local area was destroyed by the war. At this time, Bao Xiqiao was already pregnant. This child is Hao Kang, and he is also the son of Bao Xiweak and his ex-husband.
Seeing this, Zhao Jiaren couldn't help but sigh. Hao Rui is ruthless enough, and there should be a very powerful mastermind around him. For the sake of power, he did not hesitate to turn over the old things of the old lady. But to look at it is to see, Zhao Jiaren quickly closed the report and looked at the report on the construction of the railway. Now that the war between the two river basins has been handed over to Zhao Qian, Zhao Jiaren is reluctant to speak before the matter is over.
Zhao Qian also saw the report, and after reading it, he got angry. Hao Rui, what the hell is this! I really want to compete with my eldest brother Hao Kang for power, and it would be good to lead the troops to kill him. It's not that the Mongols pay the most attention to the knife edge to win and lose. Even if he can't beat his eldest brother Hao Kang, he can't involve his mother. Do you have a conscience to do this?
