Su Xiao quietly came to Lu's mansion, but he was in trouble.

This person was a capable minister. In the early Song Dynasty, all people were in trouble. It was the tea management he proposed, which helped the people to plow oxen and farm tools and money. The government axe was responsible for purchasing tea and selling it on behalf of the people. There were some disadvantages, but in the early Song Dynasty, the benefits far outweighed the disadvantages.

And on average, it brought about two million yuan in income to the Song Dynasty every year. This policy was implemented for more than ten years. In other words, with Su Xiao, it brought about 30 million yuan in income to the Song Dynasty. If there was no such money or the money was distributed to two taxes, something big would happen.

He was a capable minister, a relatively upright person. Like Liu Wensou, he had no son and only had one daughter. He died before them. Therefore, he was strong and selfless in his work. However, because he investigated the case of Qinlong wood, he was cursed as a retribution and cruel official.

It doesn't matter.

As Zhao Chengzong and Zhao Chengqing withdrew from Qigu, a public opinion arose in the capital, that is, Su Xiao is too cruel. Zhao Pu was a founding hero and one of the founders of the Song Dynasty. He participated in the formulation of various national policies that benefit the country and the people. Now that the ministers have been eliminated, Qigu has also withdrawn. What else do you want?

This undoubtedly puts huge pressure on Su Xiao.

Ludosun said: "The centipede insect will die without being stiff."

No matter how Lu Duosun sighed, Su Xiao asked again: "Mr. Lu, what should I do?"

It’s not that you can’t investigate. If you continue to investigate, then you need the edict of Zhao Kuangyin. As long as there is an edict of Zhao Kuangyin, regardless of how some people spread and threaten it, justice will be in the hearts of the people sooner or later. However, according to the law, it can be investigated, but if there is no formal edict, can the law be taken seriously? Therefore, if you continue to investigate, someone secretly aroused the capital, causing a stir, and Su Xiao felt that his reputation was wrong and his words were not satisfactory.

"Let me think about it."

If there was no other person, Zhao Pu would succeed in this move.

In the heavy snow, Su Xiao quietly went to Lu's mansion, and another person slowly entered the palace.

When he saw Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyi said, "Brother, I have something to say."

"Second brother, tell me." At this time, Zhao Kuangyin had not seen the serious surname of the situation. He often left the palace and came to Zhao Kuangyi's mansion as a guest.

"What are the origins of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the Sui Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty? Both families are the eight pillar states of the Northern Zhou Dynasty."

"Second brother, eat honey."

"Emperor brother, I knew this kid was not a good person. He was obviously a straight minister, but he was actually very arrogant. He did not pay tribute to the emperor, but used his wife's friendship with the queen to please the emperor."

"Second brother, don't have prejudice, this is a deal." Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said the serious matter: "You don't need to say it, I know that the reason why the Sui and Tang Dynasties was due to their background. Therefore, I would rather give money to the ministers, or even silently regard some of their bad behaviors than give them important positions in their descendants."

"That's true, but the emperor ignored one thing. Some ministers below merged with land or secretly went on business. They were in various prefectures and counties, and the influence was not bad. Now, not only were there workshops and shops outside Dongshuimen, but many yamen were thorned together because of the charity stocks. The emperor paid attention, but these two forces were also rich and powerful. Hezhou was a little better, and they were all handed back to the court in a few decades. When they arrived at the charity stocks, the charity stocks were dispersed. The charity stocks in Hebei still existed, and my classmates were worried."

That way, the matter will be serious.

Because of fear, Zhao Kuangyin beat Zhang Qiong to death. Besides, these little yamen raised their wine glass and couldn't drink for a long time. Finally, he asked, "Second brother, what do you think?"

"It is impossible to pursue all the taxes that were lost in the past. The battles were fought in the front and the capital behind was not peaceful, which was not a good omen. I think that the taxes that were lost in the past were not investigated, and only recovered the taxes that were lost in the past for one year. If the order is strictly enforced in the future, all shops will not be allowed to lose in the future, otherwise they will be punished strictly."

Zhao Kuangyin thought it made sense. Although some shops made money, they spent what they should spend and used what they should use. How can they pay for years of tax evasion? But it is still OK to pay taxes for one year. But he still asked: "But that contract stock is still there, and I cannot issue an edict to disband them."

"Brother, once the tax is paid, they are ordered not to abuse the servants, and the income of the workshops and shops will naturally be reduced. Without the income, they will disband the contract shares themselves. Then they sent someone to secretly tell Song Jiu that in the future, the expansion of shares in Hezhou will only be allowed to be expanded on the heads of ordinary people, and the number of contract shares in the yamen will not be increased. There will be no national harm outside the Dongshuimen."

"It's up to my second brother."

Hezhou's business theory was too advanced, and everyone didn't understand it very much, so Zhao Kuangyi was asked to use it. He first exaggerated its threatening surname, and then offered another strategy, that is, euthanasia, and used a calm and less controversial method to disperse the Hebei Quotes. In addition, he withdrew from Hezhou Quotes, which seemed to be not very suitable for Song Jiu, and he had no contact with Lu Duoxun. Either Zhao Pu, but Zhao Chengzong withdrew from Quotes, he had nothing to doubt. Therefore, his statement seemed to be based on a fair position, and Zhao Kuangyin was convinced.

While Lu Duosun and Su Xiao were in trouble, Zhao Kuangyin asked Hu Meng to draft an edict and handed it to Su Xiao.

This is timely rain.

Originally, many servants fled to Hezhou, but now even the emperor issued a clear edict to pay a tax for one year and would have to collect it in the future. They had no choice but to escape taxes for so many years, but now the court has only asked them to pay a tax for one year. It has been done with all the benevolence and righteousness, and they can't refute it.

Some shops are closed.

As Zhao Kuangyi expected, Hebei was in a rapid depression.

At this time, Song Jiu repeatedly mentioned the popularity that he could see.

The most important factor attracting tourists is landscape, business and entertainment. Hebei has commercial business, but compared with Hezhou, there are more than 1,000 shops on both sides of the Nanbian River, almost gathering the whole country. Even the South China Sea and Tianzhu eat East Africa's goods. Hebei has commercial business, but it is still mainly a short, flat, fast and fast service industry. Not to mention entertainment. Besides, the landscape, Hezhou has been greening and countless flowers, plants and trees have been planted. This year, all of them have grown into neat houses and wide and orderly streets. There are shops open at the fourth hour. Hebei is messy and there are many broken grass sheds. It was originally a long street that lasted six or seven miles long, but now several parties have taken action and many shops have begun to close. Not to mention tourists from other places, even tourists from the capital are not willing to go to Hebei.

Many bad things have happened in Hebei in recent years, and they are all around the country, but Hebei also has many workshops and shops. One or two bad things will not attract attention, but when they are concentrated, there will be more, and if they are too many, they will be noticed. More than a dozen ministers are pushing the wall, and they will retell these bad old past events, adding fuel to the fire. Once, the folk rumors were rumored that some Hebei supervisors and officials had the courage to openly force foreigners to work hard in the workshop for labor. I don’t know if anyone deliberately released this rumor, but it actually spread to Song Jiu. So Hebei became a notorious place, and foreigners dared not go to Hebei.

Without tourists, there are no residential areas besides some suburban villages. This is Qili Long Street and hundreds of shops. How can something big happen?

In the blink of an eye, it becomes a ghost street. If the weather is cloudy and the wind blows, it will become the best place to shoot ghost movies.

Song Jiu absorbed many Hebei stocks. Although they had losses, Hezhou would make up for some of them. When they saw something was wrong, they should withdraw quickly.

But they are not like Zhao Chengzong as if they were indeed. After all, they have purchased many workshops and purchased a lot of land over the years. Some have recovered their capital early, while others have not yet recovered it, so they intend to sell the contract stock.

They want to sell, but who will buy it? The store closes and has nothing. Can they regard it as a residential house? Why did the house run to this ghost street without a house? But if they don’t close the house, they will lose money. The workshop is better, and they can make some money, but the most profitable Liuli workshop will also drop sharply soon as the big merchants in various places have joined forces. Many yamen are leaving here, and Su Xiao is urging taxes. Not long after, yamen begins to disband the various industries.

The workshop is a little better, and it can ensure the cost of the average. The shops are so miserable. Some luxury shops with a cost of one or two thousand yuan only cost 300 yuan. That's it, no one has taken over it. Not to mention the land. At the peak, a piece of land with a good area of ​​land rose to more than one hundred yuan per acre, but in the blink of an eye, it was knocked back to its original form and fell to ten yuan.

When the Spring Festival arrived, Hebei finally fell down. The speed was so fast that people couldn't imagine it.

More than 90% of the shops are closed. At night, because of the sparse population, timid people dare not go anywhere.

...

On the fourth day of the lunar month, some guests came to the Song family.

It is normal for the Song family to come to the guests. Because of Hebei, many yamen hate Song Jiu as a big knot, but there are also many yamen who thank Song Jiu. Not only because of Hezhou, Song Jiu is also providing them with other financial resources, such as the sea, such as Guangnan, and especially the legendary white jade cane sugar. They cannot participate in the sugar sugar sugar. However, they have encircled many places and can grow sugar cane for profit. Therefore, when the New Year comes, many guests come, including male guests and female guests.

But these female guests Song Jiu were a little disliked. In addition to the few noble ladies, there were two female guests, one was Princess Zhaoqing, who was not very disgusted with her. The Yanei had a circle of friends, and the ladies had a circle of friends. Including the palace's queen, she often summoned noble ladies to the palace to talk. However, there was another person, that was Xu.

Perhaps seeing Hebei fall, Zhao Kuangyin has not made any statement. Song Jiu has no official position, but he has Hezhou, which is also a resource, so he comes again. In fact, Hebei was not something that Song Jiu did. Song Jiu only played a role in the middle. The most important thing was Zhao Kuangyin's edict. But behind that edict was the result of multiple competitions. Song Jiu didn't know the inside story, but he could guess a little. First, Lu Duoxun made a serious mistake, but he could not affect Zhao Kuangyin, so another person took action.

This time it is a competition of power struggles. You can tell the difference between the three people by looking at the evolution of Hebei.
