The first year of Jianzhong Jingguo in the Song Dynasty, the 16th day of the first lunar month.

Imperial Palace, Chongzheng Hall.

Even if the annual New Year Festival is completely over from the fifteenth day of January, life in the Great Song Dynasty imperial city has returned to normal.

After the permanent participants of Wende Hall ended, the prime minister and the important officials moved to Chongzheng Hall and discussed national affairs with the holy king Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji looked unhappy today, frowned, and looked a little ugly. It was not that the official family, who had never been sick, finally couldn't stand the various food, drinks and fun during the New Year's Day and got sick. But his stepmother, Xiang, who was even more close to his mother and father, could not withstand the hard work during the New Year's Day. If he couldn't do it, he couldn't afford to get sick and was about to go to see his ancestors.

Zhao Ji is a filial son. After the court has been separated these days, he went to the empress dowager's bedroom to serve him. When he saw the dying behind him, he was so sad that he burst into tears... He must have been in a good mood.

The old party officials in Chongzheng Hall were also a little frightened at this time. Although the empress dowager had already returned to power, her words were still effective. But if she died, the gentlemen of the old party would lose their support.

The second prime minister Zeng Bu stood in Chongzheng Hall with expressionless face. Although the year name was Jianzhong Jingguo, the new and old parties were destined to be unable to accommodate the court.

When the empress dowager is alive, the old party has an umbrella, and the new party's generals in the censorship cannot show their power, so they are naturally on the defensive position in the party struggles. Because the rules of the game of using literature to control military affairs are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the army has basically withdrawn from the political struggles, so the censorship has become a tool to overthrow political enemies.

Now the censors are mainly controlled by the old party, and the most powerful censor in the new party is Zhao Tingzhi, the chief censor.

In the few days before the Shangyuan Festival, Zeng Bu, An Tao, Zhao Tingzhi, Li Qingchen, and Zhang Yu, the generals of the new party, all had secret meetings for several days, discussing how to fight back after the Empress Dowager's death.

However, after discussion, no result was found. Because there are many factions within the New Party, each with different plans.

Zhang Dun, Zhang Dun, Cai Jing, Cai Bian, Zhang Shangying, Xu Duo, Jian Xuchen are quite close. Now there is only one Zhang Dun who is still in the center, and others are criticized and fighting. So Zhang Dun means to save Zhang Dun and then bring Zhang Shangying's new party cannon (he cursed people very fiercely) back to be the leader of the party struggle.

But An Tao, Zhao Tingzhi, and Li Qingchen were all fought by Zhang Dun, and they all opposed Zhang Dun's protection, and they refused to let Zhang Shangying, the murderous man, come back, he is simply a little Zhang Dun! If you are proud, no one will get better.

Zhao Tingzhi, Li Qingchen and Su Che and Su Dongpo had a great conflict. They wanted to point the gun at Yuntai Academy, and first defeat Su Dongpo and Huang Tingjian. Then they led the fire from Yuntai Academy to Han Zhongyan's butt Han Zhongyan's son-in-law Wu Haowen's brother Wu Haogu is Su Dongpo's disciple! This is clearly the ironclad evidence of Han Zhongyan's formation of a party with the two Su!

An Tao also partially agreed with Zhao Tingzhi's suggestion, but he did not advocate first attacking the Er Su brothers and Yuntai Academy, but should regard Wu Haogu, a villain who aggregated the country, as a breakthrough.

However, Zeng Bu did not agree to attack Su Dongpo and Wu Haogu. In his opinion, Su Dongpo was easy to deal with, but his apprentice Wu Haogu was a somewhat difficult opponent. Although he did not have a Jinshi diploma, he was a confidant of the official family... Moreover, Wu Haogu's status was too low, and it was impossible for the Chief Censor Zhao Tingzhi to impeach him.

The Censor Zhongcheng is the supervisor of the Censorate. It is too valuable to impeach a military officer of the seventh rank and still an officer who does not lead troops. Moreover, Wu Haogu has no major traitors and evil, it is nothing but a crime of accepting bribes. It is really a crime to accept some bribes by an official? Maybe he will stay. How can Zhao Tingzhi step down at that time?

But if Zhao Tingzhi didn't come forward, he would find someone from the eighth-rank supervisor to go to the ancients, and he would have been sank to the sea when he was playing the seal, and Zhao Ji would not pay any attention to it.

In addition, the Jiehe Market promoted by Wu Haogu was also agreed by Zeng Bu. Because Zeng Bu did not want to make a big fight in Hebei to carry out rectification, and he also agreed with the "Yanyun Eating Problem" proposed by Wu Haogu.

If the Yanyun Transportation Center, Jiehe Commercial City, is not developed, there will be no way to solve Yanyun's food shortage in the future. Even if Yanyun is recovered, it will be a huge hidden danger!

Because the opinions of each mountain cannot be unified, the new party has no way to launch a counterattack.

The only thing that can be done is to block the sale of Dutingyi by using the method of returning the words.

At this time, Zhao Ji spoke up and broke the silence in Chongzheng Hall, "Zeng Qing, does the Secretariat agree to sell Duting Post?"

"Your Majesty," Zeng Bu stood up and said, "There is a store and a housekeeper under Taifu Temple that can operate real estate. Why sell Duting Post to a merchant?"

"Can the store and housekeeping department spend 2 million yuan for the renovation of the new hall and Qionglin Garden?"

Zeng Bu replied: "As long as there is one year, the store and housekeeping business can take out 2.5 million yuan and hand it over to Taifu Temple."

He took out 2.5 million yuan a year to the data provided by Qiang Yuanming and Liu Ai, who were in charge of the Zuoxiang Store in Taifu Temple.

Of course, they were not talking nonsense, but between New Year's Eve and the Spring Festival, many wealthy businessmen took the initiative to find Qiang Yuanming and Liu Ai inquire about the "demolition" of Dutingyi.

Among them, there is a wealthy businessman named Zhu Jie from Pingjiang. He prescribed a prescription for Liu Ai without having to let the commander who builds a house commander to direct the construction of a house, so no one dares to buy it. He can "contract" the construction of a house to the customer who buys a house... Well, the seller is still a house, but the customer who buys a house "contracts" the construction of a house.

In this way, you can cut the land of Dutingyi into 25 pieces, sell it for 100,000 yuan, and you will get 2.5 million yuan.

What a great idea, it fully proves the correctness of the official housing business! As long as the Holy Lord Zhao Ji nods, things will be done.

But Song Huizong was very friends, how could he let Wu Haogu suffer a loss for just a few hundred thousand?

The renovation of Qionglin Palace was planned by Wu Haogu. How can we make people work in vain?

Song Huizong pondered for a while, "How to manage the land of Dutingyi?"

"Of course, the house is demolished and divided into 20 or 30 yuan, and then the house is built and sold after it is sold."

"Only twenty or thirty mansions are built?" Zhao Ji finally found a reason. "I have always known that the housing prices of Kaifeng Prefecture are high, and every house is tens of thousands of yuan, and officials and civilians are trapped here. So many officials and civilians cannot bear it for decades. If all officials and civilians live in their own houses, they should build more small houses. If the land owned by Duting Post is built for twenty or thirty mansions, wouldn't each house be charged tens of thousands? Who can bear it?"

Song Huizong's problem was far beyond the expectations of a group of ministers in Chongzheng Hall. What does the official family mean? They think that the housing prices in Kaifeng Prefecture are too expensive? Well, it is expensive, but what are the solutions? There is only a little land in Kaifeng Prefecture...

Zeng Bu also felt that this matter was difficult to deal with, and he was complaining to An Tao in his heart, why should he care about this little business? Now that the government has such a difficult problem, what should I do?

Seeing Zeng Bu speechless, Zhao Ji smiled and said, "I have already bought the land in the Republic Commercial Bank and built hundreds of compact small houses, each house with thousands to twenty thousand yuan, and are given priority to officials of a background. Can the store and housekeeping business be done?"

No one dares to buy it if he can do it... Who should he find if he loses his money after buying it?

Zeng Bu stopped talking. He understood that Zhao Ji was helping Wu Haogu, and he also knew that Wu Haogu could not only take out 2 million yuan, but also build hundreds of compact small houses... and sell them! No problem.

And if you want the housekeepers in the left and right store to do it, it will be a problem!

An Tao stood up and replied: "I think that as long as there are honest and capable officials who serve as ministers of Taifu Temple, they can make the shop and houses build houses according to His Majesty's request."

After hearing what An Tao said, Zhao Ji became interested immediately, "An Qing, who is an honest and capable person? Can you recommend one or two?"

The Song Dynasty did not lack clean officials. Although the majority of corrupt officials were the ones, there were still many officials who were not corrupt, but there were a few capable officials, and even fewer officials who were capable but not corrupt.

"Chaosan doctor Li Mingzhong can take on this position."

An Tao first recommended Li Jie, who can really accomplish this task!

"Your Majesty, Li Mingzhong is in Dingyou. How could he get his love because of building a house?" Han Zhongyan immediately stood up and said, "And his father is 82 years old this year and has been bedridden recently."

Li Jie's father, Li Nangong, turned out to be the Minister of Rites. He was fired for Zhao Ji not long ago and was out of office. The old man fell ill after a few days after returning home. He was about to die again. At that time, Li Jie's mother's filial piety was just about to continue to filial piety for his father. If he wanted him to come out to be an official, he would probably have to wait until four years later...

Zhao Ji nodded and said, "This dynasty governs the world, and Li Jie should be at home to keep filial piety. An Qing, please recommend others."

An Tao thought about it and said, "I was aware of Lu Wangzhi, Huaizhou, who was talented and promoted the municipal affairs office during the Xining period. He had outstanding political achievements and could serve as the Minister of Taifu Temple."

Zhao Ji frowned. Lu Jiawen was a son of the Lu family in Shouzhou and the great-grandson of Lu Yijian. Originally, the Lu family in Shouzhou was an old party, but he stole the draft memorial of the clan's uncle Lu Gongbi's opposition to Wang Anshi's reform and presented it to Wang Anshi, so he was called the "Thief of the Lu family". Later, this person took over as the most hated Promotion of the Municipal E-Master, and I don't know how many people he offended... However, it is undeniable that Lu Jiawen was relatively honest and capable as an official. Otherwise, he would not have been in the position of Promotion of the Municipal E-Master E-Master for many years.

However, Song Huizong was a little disgusted with Lu Jiawen's reputation as a thief, which was so bad.

"Then let's share half of the land in Dutingyi to the store and housekeeping business," Zhao Ji thought for a while before saying, "The rest is sold to the Republican Store for a price of one million yuan. In addition, it is necessary to agree on the number of houses built, the upper limit of the selling price, and the targets sold are preferred for officials of a background.

The proceeds are dedicated to the renovation of Qionglin Garden and the new Dutingyi Pavilion. The Xiyuan Construction Station is set up under the supervision of the general office, specifically responsible for this matter.
