Chapter 612: Officials Who Gave War Money

Seeing that Zhao Guan's family was not angry, Gao Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.

"You keep talking."

Gao Qiu hesitated for a moment, took out a letter from his arms and said, "Your Majesty, this is an urgent report sent from Qingzhou by the people from the Imperial City Department."

Qingzhou?

What urgent message is Qingzhou sending at this time?

The battlefield is not in Qingzhou.

Zhao Ning took it, opened it and read it carefully, his face immediately darkened.

"This is real?"

"There shouldn't be any lies." Gao Qiu said cautiously.

Gao Qiu actually didn't want to talk about this. After all, the imperial court was currently conquering Goryeo. If this matter reached the ears of Zhao Guan's family, it would definitely cause unnecessary trouble.

Moreover, the local officials are now strictly suppressing the matter, which also involves the issue of factional struggle in the court.

Gao Qiu continued: "In the name of war, officials in Qingzhou used clever tricks to tax the people and extort money from the people. Originally, Qingzhou was implementing the new agricultural policy and sending money to the countryside."

"Did the imperial court collect food from Qingzhou during this expedition against Goryeo?"

"The logistics arrangements seem to have been made by Prime Minister Qin. It is unknown whether they were solicited from Qingzhou." Gao Qiu continued.

Seeing that Zhao Guan's family fell silent, Gao Qiu continued: "Your Majesty, it may be just in the Qingzhou area. Why not let people from the Su Provincial Academy go and check it out, and that's it."

"Qingzhou area?" Zhao Ning's face darkened.

One leaf falls and the world knows autumn.

"You just discovered that Qingzhou has it, it doesn't mean that other states don't have it."

"Yes, I am stupid."

Things are complicated. As early as more than a thousand years ago, Taoists gave a saying: All things move according to Tao, and Tao is invisible and intangible.

Excessive human interference will destroy the original order of natural operation and cause chaos.

Therefore, later, some knowledgeable people believed that during the peace period, radical restructuring would not only not have a good effect, but would also be counterproductive.

Because radical restructuring must change the past order and reorganize a new order.

Someone has to enforce it, and once that happens, new power will be in someone's hands.

Power is something that cannot be controlled by ordinary people. It will distort human nature, and the surrounding resources and wealth will move closer to it.

At this time, people will inevitably use the power in their hands to seek benefits for themselves.

In this way, we will harvest from the people at the bottom.

The way of things is relative.

In the non-peaceful period that Zhao Ning traveled through, that set of drastic reforms could indeed have an immediate effect.

However, as the New Agricultural Policy was slowly implemented in various parts of the north, the new order gradually came into operation and stabilized.

At this time, unexpected factors suddenly appeared, which led to the local power players to create clever names.

Zhao Ning said: "Go and inform Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, the Yushitai, and the Su Provincial Academy to handle this matter in accordance with the rules of the court, and do whatever you want."

Gao Qiu hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, will it affect the food supply on the front line?"

"Food on the front line?" Zhao Ning's tone suddenly turned cold. "My military administration has a complete set of rules. How to purchase food during war and how to collect military supplies. Dengzhou has rich reserves. Hangzhou and Fuzhou have established a complete set of rules.

When will grain transportation lines be mobilized in Qingzhou!"

Zhao Guanjia's tone became colder as he spoke: "I want to see who doesn't act in accordance with the imperial court's regulations!"

Gao Qiu hesitated again.

"What are you still doing?"

"Your Majesty, is it related to Qin Xianggong?"

Gao Qiu actually didn't want to continue talking nonsense.

But Zhao Guan's family once told him that nothing could happen to Qin Hui yet, so he reminded him tactfully.

“Go and check it out with confidence!”

"Yes Yes!"

Gao Qiu left immediately.

Qin Hui?

Qin Hui is a careerist, but he is not a fool.

Even if he ran over to get rich, even if he was behind it, he would never leave any clue.

Want to catch Qin Hui through this matter?

Obviously it's impossible!

It’s true that some people are now using political correctness to benefit themselves!

What is political correctness?

Newspapers in many places have published the accusations of Goryeo, and public opinion has supported the Eastern Conquest of Goryeo. This is political correctness.

Standing on the high ground of political correctness is like standing on the high ground of morality.

But externally we need a stance, internally we need justice.

Justice refers to safeguarding the rights and interests of the general public. If there is only an internal position, justice will disappear.

Everyone felt comfortable standing in line for a while, and no one asked whether it was reasonable. In the end, the just order was destroyed, and the rich and powerful people could naturally protect themselves and pass all the troubles to the people below.

Therefore, when politicians deal with internal conflicts, they must put justice first.

Zhao Ning has no interest in staying in the back garden.

He walked back to Wende Hall and began to write "Dialectik".

I kept writing until noon and then ended in frustration.

At this time, Qian Yuqing, who had returned from Nanhai, arrived outside the palace and prepared to meet His Majesty.

But news about the Qingzhou case spread throughout the court.

There was even a meeting held in the political hall.

The continuous use of troops against Goryeo had already divided into two factions. The main war faction believed that they should continue to invest a large amount of resources to destroy Goryeo.

The peace advocates believe that continuing to invest will not only cause internal unrest, but also make Xixia and the Jin Kingdom feel malicious.

The idea of ​​the Peace Party is more like a conservative idea.

The emergence of the Qingzhou case undoubtedly gave the Lords and factions a handle.

For example, Cai Mao publicly said in the Zhengshi Hall: "If we continue, there will only be a second, third, fourth, or even countless Qingzhou."

However, the main fighting faction has the position of the main fighting faction. For example, Wang Zongliu said: "If the troops withdraw from Goryeo, the previous achievements in attacking Kaijing will be in vain. Next, Goryeo will continue to send troops to Fuzhou and consume Fuzhou. And this

It’s obviously the Jin man’s trick behind this.”

Officials on both sides talked about the public's reasons and their wives' reasons.

Wang Zonglio obviously said this from the perspective of banknote issuance.

Goryeo is a place that hangs overseas. If it can firmly grasp Goryeo, the court can absorb a large amount of Goryeo's products to make up for the depreciation of the Goryeo banknotes caused by the issuance of Goryeo banknotes.

Wang Zongliu continued: "Xiangong Cai, don't forget that public opinion is on the side of the main battle."

Cai Mao said unceremoniously: "Public opinion is a clown who is manipulated at will!"

"Xianggong Cai, please pay attention to your words!" Wang Zonglio was also rude, obviously preparing to cause trouble, "The people are more important than the king, the people are the foundation of the country, Xianggong, dare to speak arrogant words!"
