Chapter 477
Now the head of Kaifeng Prefecture is the head of the Kaifeng Prefecture to send Wen Yi to Kaifeng Prefecture. He is also a member of the new party camp, but like Lu Jiawen, he is also a less likable character.
Not only did the people of the old party dislike him, but most of the people of the new party dislike him. Because this guy was lucky enough to gloat, he once served as the governor of Tanzhou, and Tanzhou was the only way to demoted to Lingnan. All officials who were demoted by Tanzhou were suppressed and bullied by him, and he would not give him any face.
However, although he offended many officials, he had worked as an official in the vassal residence of Emperor Huizong of Song and had a good relationship with Emperor Huizong. Therefore, after Emperor Huizong ascended the throne, he summoned him to Kaifeng Prefecture as an old minister of the vassal residence. Now he is a servant (who is to accompany the emperor to study, or he can be regarded as a teacher of Emperor Huizong of Song) and is also a favorite minister.
Since he was the confidant of Song Huizong, of course, he would not have gone to the real estate business of Wu Haogu for Lu Jiawen. But there was also the share of Pan Xiao'an and Gao Qiu! Maybe Song Huizong's own private money was invested in... Others could bite him, but Wen Yi would never be able to speak, otherwise Song Huizong would treat him as a dog that only knows how to fight in the nest, so why would he keep him? It makes him uncomfortable?
So Wu Haogu is not afraid of Kaifeng Prefecture to investigate. If you check it casually, there will be no problems! Even if there are problems, Wen Qingtian has to help cover up the problem.
Lu Jia asked, of course, who knew Wen Yi was, and there was nothing to say about that guy. However, it was a bit embarrassing to find out the case and Wu Haogu could not be investigated.
"Houqing," Lu Jiawen said to An Tao on the way back to Kaifeng Prefecture City, "If you can't teach Wu Haogu a lesson, I'm afraid that the big merchants in Kaifeng Prefecture will forget it!"
An Tao smiled bitterly: "Now Kaifeng Prefecture, no, the big merchants in the world are a little lost... Wu Haogu set up a Jiehe business market, signed the "Republic Merchants Agreement", and established merchant autonomy in Jiehe. It was lawless. Wu Yanen, a giant merchant in Haizhou, secretly contacted the Goryeo Kingdom and arranged for his cousin Wu Yanchong to be the doctor of the War of the Goryeo Kingdom, and was also engaged in Kaifeng Prefecture, hoping that the court would sell iron tools to the Goryeo people.
By the way, Ji Yi, the son of the Ji family of Pingjiang Sea Merchants, took the first place in the provincial examination last year and married Zhang Dun's granddaughter. It's amazing!"
"The great business trend is not a blessing for the country!" Lu Jiawen said hatefully.
"That's right, the country is based on agriculture, and the industry and commerce are invading agriculture if it is powerful." An Tao sighed, "and this dynasty did not suppress the merger... It's really embarrassing."
Lu Jia asked: "Yes! The ultimate of Jing Gong's reform was to curb mergers through official business and commerce, and restore rural soldiers through suppressing mergers? It's a pity that there were too many treacherous officials in the court, and everyone seeks personal gain, so that the new law was abandoned halfway, and the world was still exhausted."
Wang Anshi's reforms often criticized in later generations as a blow to industry and commerce, as if Wang Anshi was worried about it and used corruption and unethical officials.
But in An Tao and Lu Jiawen's view, cracking down on industry and commerce is a means of Wang Anshi's reform! Wang Anshi wanted to make industry and commerce go bankrupt on a large scale, and then use official industry and commerce to replace private industry and commerce, so as to achieve the goal of national prosperity and curb mergers.
And his plan was actually not without reason. Because of the weakening of the Song Dynasty's military, in addition to the two major reasons of emphasizing culture over military and the emperor's blind command, it was because of the development of industry and commerce and serious land annexation.
Land annexation can destroy low-cost rural soldiers and military households, and the foundation is all land. If all the land belongs to the landlords and farmers become tenants, the rural soldiers system cannot be established! Even if it is established, it will be a powerful private soldier, which will not benefit the country.
The development of industry and commerce is destroying mercenaries! In history, the average military pay for the Green Camp soldiers of the Qing Dynasty was only one or two to three cents, and three dou of rice per month, and some of the weapons needed to be purchased by themselves. However, the Northern Song Dynasty imperial guards, who had been hundreds of years earlier, had a revenue of fifty knots a year, and had an average of more than four knots a month, and the weapons were all supplied by the state. In addition, there were high-paid utility soldiers with annual income of more than 100 knots, and their income was directly surpassed by dozens of streets of the Eight Banners personal soldiers.
However, such high income is now facing the situation of being unable to afford a house or begging for a wife in Kaifeng Prefecture, and he has to turn his army into a part-time job. Moreover, when a person is rich, he cherishes his life and becomes a "failed house in Kaifeng"...
Therefore, cracking down on private industry and commerce and making it less easy for ordinary people to obtain high income is, in a sense, a way to strengthen the Song army.
The two successors of Wang Anshi rode into the city and chatted, and before they knew it, they arrived outside the door of Liu Kui, the Imperial College Supervisor, in the south of Kaifeng Prefecture.
Lu Jia asked if there was no house in Kaifeng Mansion. Although the shop and housekeeper would definitely arrange a house for him, there was a process, so I could only live in my son-in-law's house tonight.
Liu Kui's residence is also an official property distributed by the store and house affairs. It looks very dilapidated, but it has not collapsed. However, it covers a large area. If the house is demolished and sold the land, it will be an industry of one million!
"Brother Wangzhi, my mansion still has official duties, so I will say goodbye today." An Tao bowed to Lu Jiawen and was about to say goodbye, but was stopped by Lu Jiawen.
"Houqing, do you want to arrange for the censor to participate in the ancient book of Wu Hao?"
"Ginseng?" An Tao frowned, "What's the name?"
"See him as a fan and national foundation!" Lu Jia asked and said in thought.
"Shan Yao's country's foundation? Isn't it a bit empty?"
Lu Jia asked and said with a smile: "It's not considered Taixu... Kaifeng's imperial guards are the foundation of the country. Wu Haogu's republic's real estate transactions have disrupted the hearts of many imperial guards, making them gather and make noise, which is to shake the foundation of the country!"
Can you still copy it like this?
Although An Tao felt that Lu Jia asked Wu Haogu’s charges that were completely nonsense, he nodded and said, “Let me arrange it.”
Lu Jia asked, but asked: "Houqing, who do you want to make a picture of the bullet?"
An Tao said: "The new supervisor, Zhang Kegong, is the chief executive of the censor!"
Zhang Shuye's cousin Zhang Kegong has already arrived. He is the inspector of the Censor Lixing, not the official of the Censorate, and has a bit of the meaning of being an extra-staff censor. However, impeachment of Wu Haogu's level is just right.
...
The two brothers Wu Haogu and Wu Haowen, and Su Dalang, were drinking tea and eating vegetables on the Republic's floor at this time. Of course, there were no women to accompany the country during the funeral. It would be better to be careful!
The three of them sat together, so they naturally had to say that they were downstairs of the Republic today. An Tao and Lu Jia asked about their purpose.
The visitor must be bad! Especially the one Lu Jia asked, the evil man who has been famous for decades and a thief of the Lu family, can he still have good things if he takes action?
Although Wu Haogu and Wu Haowen are also strictly guarded (the top ten litigants in Kaifeng Prefecture are legally responsible for everything), it does not mean that the other party has no choice.
Because the censor can hear the truth, there is no need to make a real case.
Moreover, Wu Haogu's backstage is very tough. Even if Zhao Tingzhi takes action personally, it is impossible to join the Censorate Prison, so it is not important whether there is any evidence or not.
The important thing is to force Wu Haogu to retreat from Kaifeng Prefecture's real estate business!
"There will definitely be some bullets," Wu Haogu turned the teacup in his hand gently, "I have only written more than a dozen bullets, but they are all kept by the government."
Fortunately, I was a businessman and businessman. I was included in more than a dozen books by the censors. Those censors did not really want to make things difficult for Wu Haogu. Impulsing him was just a show of his character of not fearing the powerful. So far, the bullet chapters of Guan Wu Haogu are all trivial matters, either losing the etiquette or accepting bribes... I can't hit Wu Haogu at all.
"But this time, they probably have to have some strength!" Wu Haogu thought for a while, "I just don't know if I will participate in this way?"
"Will you participate in your hoarding and raising housing prices?" Wu Haowen asked.
"I'm not afraid of this." Wu Haogu shook his head, "I can explain it clearly..."
"Or, you are a greedy person in business, and you have lost your official style?"
"I have to participate in this crime and you." Wu Haogu smiled at his brother. "I am a military officer, and greed is what it should be."
"That's..." Wu Haowen shook his head, "Brother, it seems that there is no more. We are not afraid of shadow slanting, so let them participate."
Wu Haogu looked at Su Dalang again, and Su Dalang smiled: "Ask me about business, what is the secret trick in the officialdom... Dalang, you have to ask experts about this."
"Expert?" Wu Haogu looked at his younger brother.
"I can't do it," Wu Haowen waved his hand quickly, "How many days have I been an official?"
Su Dalang smiled and said, "Dalang, you actually recognize an old fox in the officialdom."
Wu Haogu smiled and said, "I recognize many old foxes... but they are not used by me."
"There is one that can be used!"
"who?"
"Shi Guozhong, I just got the title of Cangzhou magistrate, but I haven't left Kaifeng Prefecture yet... By the way, you asked him for this magistrate."
"Oh, that Yanggu magistrate." Wu Haogu remembered the "confused magistrate". He looked at Su Dalang, "Do you recognize him too?"
"How can I not recognize it?" Su Dalang smiled, "My family and the Wan family are family friends, and Shi Guozhong's wife is my distant cousin. This old man was famously censored when he was a censor. He impeached all the powerful people in the court, but nothing happened... The people who were impeached by him and himself were fine!"
"Then how could he be promoted?" Wu Haogu smiled.
The censor is a position that is easy to be promoted and easily demoted. Generally speaking, those officials who enter the Censorate will show their best and aim at the most favored powerful ministers. They want to become famous and also gain a chance to be promoted.
Su Dalang said: "Aren't you also going to the prefecture now?"
"That's right," Wu Haogu thought for a while, "Then I'll visit him tomorrow to see if I can let him use it for my own purposes."
