He waved his hand and said, "Are you encountering difficulties?"
Fan Chunren and others collectively bowed their heads and said: "I await the death penalty and fail to live up to His Majesty's expectations..."
In fact, most people don't think this is a big deal at first.
Just trespassing on the street?!
Just dismantle it!
This is supplemented by harsh laws and strict supervision.
In Bianjing city, under the emperor's feet, can those merchants and ordinary people turn the world upside down?
But they realized it only after they understood the troubles and difficulties involved.
This matter is far more complicated than they imagined.
Those involved in invading the streets were not just relatives, ministers, merchants, and ordinary people. For the scholar-bureaucrats, they were not a troublesome group.
It is no exaggeration to say that almost the entire people in Bianjing City are more or less involved.
What's more, the officials' demands are still so outrageous.
Do not bother the common people and do not harm the interests of the small people.
Therefore, after getting to know Su Che and Cheng Yi, people who were initially full of fantasies about the capital of the Han and Tang Dynasties suddenly came to their senses.
Zhao Xu smiled and said, "What crime are you guilty of?"
Zhao Xu said, looked at Lu Xizhe, smiled, and rushed Lu Xizhe and Zhang Chi to serve as recorders.
Then, he said: "Since we have encountered problems and difficulties..."
"Then, sir, you should speak frankly to me and tell me your problems and difficulties..."
The ministers bowed their heads again: "Your Majesty, your benevolent and sage..."
Zhao Xu started to call the names.
"Bachelor Deng, the bachelor is the former emperor's minister and my arm, let's start with the bachelor..."
"Tell me, what problems did the bachelor encounter? What difficulties?"
Deng Runfu took a deep breath, stood up, and came to the hall.
He looked at Zhao Xu.
The young official sat upright and looked at him seriously.
This put a lot of pressure on him, so he could only lower his head and said: "Your Majesty, I dare not deceive you..."
"In the past few days, I have been with Bachelor Fan in the Bachelor's College and Chongwen College, and have reviewed many official documents from past dynasties, as well as memorials to Kaifeng Mansion of past dynasties..."
"The homes of the Imperial Guards and the Imperial City's personal officers, personal servants, and other commanders' families have frequently invaded the streets over the past dynasties..."
Fan Chunren hurriedly came out of the queue, bowed and said: "This matter is exactly what Deng Xueshi said!"
This is exactly the trouble that troubles the officials, but it is only one of them.
Even so, it's enough!
Zhao Xu looked at Yan Yuan who was guarding the meeting hall with Yu Longzhi.
"Commander Yan!"
Yan Yuan immediately knelt down and said, "I'm here!"
"Does Commander Yan know what the two bachelors said?"
Yan Yuan replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, this matter is government affairs, and I am a military official. I dare not say anything more!"
"I give you permission to say this!"
Yan Yuan raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, this is indeed the case!"
There is nothing to hide in this matter.
This has been the case throughout the ages.
It would be better now, if only before Renmiao Jingyou, there were more than 100,000 forbidden troops in Beijing.
The area near the Forbidden Army barracks is densely packed with houses that invade the streets.
Directly turning the originally spacious road into an alley.
Zhao Xu smiled and asked: "Why?"
Yan Yuan replied directly: "The city is small and there are many people. The soldiers of the Forbidden Army and their families and descendants have to reproduce and inherit... The original military camp is not enough to live in, and the soldiers cannot afford to buy houses... They can only build houses near the military camp. Over time,
...and it became today..."
Zhao Xu nodded and said: "If so, it's my fault!"
"I will solve it!"
The officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army are all loyal to the emperor and patriotic.
They just want a family!
What's wrong with them?
Yan Yuan bowed again and stepped back respectfully.
The eyes of the imperial guards who were guarding the meeting hall all showed moved expressions.
Although, this matter has nothing to do with them.
Their salaries and rewards, as well as their status, were enough for them and their wives and children to live in special official houses.
But the emperor's love for the soldiers of the Forbidden Army is real.
But the officials, even the Imperial Guards they had never seen before, took great care of them.
For these loyal confidants who serve as bodyguards day and night, what can be worse?
Zhao Xu looked at the banquet officials and asked: "My lords, do you have any other questions or difficulties?"
Lu Dafang stood up and paid homage: "Your Majesty, during my investigation, I learned that there are many residences and shops in Bianjing that have invaded the streets..."
The di shop is the property of the royal family.
The rental income from the mansion shop was the main source of money for the palace concubines.
The reason for the intrusion of the residence shop into the street was naturally that of the relevant officials, in order to make more money to support the palace expenses.
After all, they are responsible for Ouchi.
In front of the Bianjing store housekeeper who is in charge of the store, Kaifeng Mansion?
Really not enough!
Zhao Xu nodded and said: "I will issue an edict to the store manager about this matter. When we discuss it next time, I will order Quan to promote the store manager and some of the store manager to attend the meeting..."
The trouble in Di Dian was created by the royal family.
Of course, only the royal family can solve it.
Neither can anyone else!
"Your Majesty, your Majesty!" Lu Dafang glanced at the young official in surprise.
Other ministers also worshiped: "Your Majesty is wise!"
The tricky thing about this matter is that no one can touch it except the emperor.
And even if it were the emperor, it would be very troublesome to take action on this matter.
The two palaces are kind and sage, which is quite good.
The key is the concubines of the late emperor, the prince, the princess and the concubines of Renmiao in the palace...
If they run out of supplies and cause trouble, the two palaces may also have headaches.
It is also easy to have bad effects.
"Is there any more?" Zhao Xu asked.
The ministers looked at each other. They knew about this, but they couldn't talk about it.
In the end, it was Su Che and Cheng Yi who stood up resolutely, came to the hall, and worshiped: "Your Majesty, it is time to start the affairs of the various departments in Beijing..."
This is a big thunder!
Housekeeping is only related to the concubines.
But the various offices and field affairs in Beijing were directly the emperor's personal property.
For example, consider the workshops of the Bureau of Arms Manufacturing in the capital.
If the emperor does not issue an edict, who dares to touch it? Who can touch it?
Zhao Xu listened and pretended to ponder for a moment, as if he had gone through a great struggle and psychological struggle, and then said: "I will issue an edict to the internal servants on this matter..."
"Next time the meeting will be held, Song Yongchen and others will be ordered to attend the meeting..."
After thinking for a while, Zhao Xu continued: "Whether it's housekeeping in a store, housekeeping in various departments in Beijing, or field work!"
"I am here to express my attitude to all the ministers. Once a decision is made and a decision is made... it must be strictly implemented!"
"I will send the censor to supervise, and I will also ask the officials to report the relevant rectification progress regularly..."
These are royal matters.
Theoretically, it is difficult for the foreign court to intervene.
Zhao Xu's statement is tantamount to announcing that in the future, the Yushitai can supervise the royal family's industry, at least on the issue of intrusion and impeachment.
This is a huge encouragement to all civil servants and officials!
So, everyone was overjoyed and worshiped one after another: "Your Majesty, the Holy Ming!"
Zhao Xu smiled, looked at them, and continued to ask: "Are there any more?"
If you want to take it first, you must give it first.
Zhao Xu understands this truth.
Now, Zhao Xu himself has set an example and made a statement.
It was the turn of the scholar-officials to shoot and cut their flesh.
The ministers looked at each other, and Cai Jing, who had been standing in the palace, was about to move.
But when he raised his head, he saw Zhao Xu's eyes.
So, he immediately lowered his head.
In these days, especially when he came to the palace to send money, he was able to get close to the officials, so he could understand some of the hints in the officials' eyes.
Although you may not be sure sometimes.
However, at this time, I would rather guess wrong than make my own decision.
Zhao Xu looked at the ministers and asked calmly: "Is there no more?"
Fan Chunren looked at the young official sitting upright, and his conscience finally couldn't bear it. He stepped forward and worshiped: "Your Majesty, there is also..."
"Um?"
"There are six ministries in three provinces, as well as the imperial office in Beijing...and there are also many intruders!"
"Um?"
"In addition..." Fan Chunren plucked up his courage and said, "The sons and nephews of officials and officials who are making a living in the capital often invade the streets..."
This is normal!
In the Song Dynasty, relatives, nobles, emperors, imperial troops and ordinary people were all invading the streets. How could the scholar-bureaucrats not invade the streets?
It's like doing business.
There are 72 main stores in Bianjing City, as well as fruit shops, quality warehouses, night markets...
Of course, many of these money-making businesses are backed by relatives and nobles.
But are the scholar-bureaucrats just sages? Don’t they love wealth?
How can it be!
In a society like the Song Dynasty, it is true to focus on money!
After Wang Gui died, his son carried the coffin and returned to his hometown. The copper coins, gold, silver and treasures transported back to his hometown were enough to load seven or eight ships.
There is a modern saying that goes well.
When you find one cockroach in your home, there may be hundreds of them in your home.
So, here comes the problem: Wang Gui has already accumulated so much property.
What about the rest?
We can’t say that in our Song Dynasty, only Wang Gui is a corrupt official, and all the others are contemporary Bao Zhengs, as incorruptible as Zhang Dun, right?
Anyway, in Zhao Xu’s understanding.
The ministers who were truly not greedy in the Song Dynasty and who are currently in the court are probably Fan Chunren, Lu Dafang, Cheng Yi, Su Che, Su Song, etc.
In addition, there is Zhang Dun who is already on the road in Guangxi, Sima Guang who is ill at home, and Wang Anshi who is far away in Jiangning.
Others have been proven by history to be more or less dishonorable.
At least, it is certain that the sons and nephews of the indulgent family can do business in Bianjing City under their banner.
This is also the reason why so far, Shiyiwu has only recovered three to five million guan from its debts.
This is also what makes street intrusion so tricky and troublesome.
This is the fundamental reason why none of the banquet officials dared to speak after knowing the inside story.
This matter is like a ball of thread that is entangled with each other. Just figuring out the relationship between it is enough to give people a headache.
We really need to do something about this.
The consequences will be the same as Lu Huiqing's tactics, which will only arouse everyone's disgust.
If you are not careful, your reputation will be ruined and the world will be destroyed!
Just like Lu Huiqing, just like Lu Jiawen.
Zhao Xu glanced at Fan Chunren with satisfaction and praised in his heart: "He is indeed Fan Zhongyan's son..."
"Except for being a little pedantic sometimes..."
"He is indeed a good minister!"
Most ministers would not dare to say such a thing even in private, let alone say it publicly?
Zhao Xu nodded and said to Fan Chunren: "Bachelor, please sit down!"
