Zhao Gou was confused. He was just kind enough to send his personal ginseng, but he didn't expect to send himself to Hangzhou to go to the Maritime Shipping Company for shipping.

He really didn't know what the emperor was thinking in his head. Is it time to care about shipping now? It is time to care about when the golden thief will be called!

He had to admit that the emperor's thinking was becoming increasingly erratic and mysterious.

Fortunately, Zhao Gou has been paying attention to shipping for a long time. In Zhao Gou's view, shipping is also a way to get rich in the Song Dynasty, but he did not know that Zhao Huan had a longer-term plan.

Zhao Huan, a later generation, could see better that the seemingly prosperous Song Dynasty was actually full of holes. The most fatal point was that the economy was about to reach the verge of collapse, which would lead to even more terrible consequences. The national treasury was empty and there was no money to fight, so the country could only be destroyed.

Even the wide variety of taxes and taxes can only alleviate the emptiness of the treasury in a short time, and the confrontation with the golden thieves will not take a day or two. This war may last for several years or even ten years.

Once the people were collected and there was no money for war, Zhao Huan could only choose a crooked tree like Emperor Chongzhen to hang himself up.

If you want to become rich, it is nothing more than increasing revenue and reducing expenditure.

This sea transportation foreign trade is a way to open source. The shipbuilding technology of the Song Dynasty was already quite developed. Three major maritime transportation departments were established along the coast during the Taizu era. It would be a waste not to develop sea transportation.

As for this, hehe, of course, it is to reduce the salary of the literati and lay off excess and bloated officials.

In the Song Dynasty, officials' salaries were the highest. How high were they? The income of officials in the Song Dynasty was more than ten times that of the Ming Dynasty! It doesn't count various subsidies and benefits.

Once this policy is implemented, the literati and officials may be jumping, but let them jump, and anyone who dares to jump will chop off.

After seeing Zhao Gou, Zhao Huan was even more looking forward to shipping, but he also knew that the most important thing now is to keep Tokyo. As for shipping, let Zhao Gou do it first. Anyway, Zhao Gou was very interested in shipping in history.

Zhao Huan was not worried about Zhao Gou's trouble, he was not worried about what kind of trouble he could do. In an important city like Hangzhou, Zhao Gou set out and the Imperial City Department would follow.

It was already afternoon, and Xie Dahai hurried to Zhao Huan's imperial study room.

"Your Majesty, you have been interrogated, Zhang Bangchang!"

Zhao Huan immediately sneered: "What a Zhang Bangchang, my grandfather! He actually asked someone to assassinate me!"

It was Zhao Huan who underestimated the shamelessness of these ministers in Song Huizong's gang of ministers once, and even the emperor dared to assassinate them. What else did they dare not do! He was a loyal and patriotic hypocrite!

"Catch the house and destroy the nine clans!"

Today, the people watching on the roadside of Tokyo City are like long dragons. You have to admire the execution of the Imperial City Department. The emperor issued an order in the morning. At this time, the nine clans of the twelve rebellious ministers were all arrested and taken to the execution ground.

Among them are old men in their 80s, beautiful teenage girls, and young women holding babies in their swaggers.

The common people heard that it was because more than a dozen ministers in the court united today to force the emperor to abdicate. According to rumors, the reason why the ministers did this was because His Majesty the Emperor wanted to fight to the death with the Jin thieves, and the ministers were afraid of the Jin thieves like tigers and wanted to force the emperor to cede land and pay compensation!

Now the people in the city exploded.

Cut land? Compensation?

Shameful! It's really shameful!

Then, among the dozen ministers who were treason, one more was added. It is said that this Zhang Taizai was even more exaggerated and directly took advantage of the emperor's illness to murder the emperor.

The emperor just went to the north gate yesterday to take the oath, and it was because he won the hearts of the people. Now the people in the city are saying that His Majesty is the Holy Emperor. When they see these people who are trying to murder the Holy Emperor, the people will naturally not be polite. They have prepared all the leftovers and have rehearsed the throwing posture in advance.

Zhao Huan was wearing a white robe and went privately for a private visit. After seeing Zhao Gou, he left the palace and rushed to the Five Dynasties Gate.

He saw such a scene halfway through, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: No wonder the historical books said that in the Battle of Tokyo at that time, the people in the city were talking about war, but the literati and the emperor were timid. It seemed that this statement was not false!

With such a person, I am still afraid that Wanyan Zongwang! Grandma is so good! I want to push the Jurchens and other savages!

"Well, kill it! When Zi Shengming is today, these dog officials are not enterprising and actually drive out such things that are worse than beasts!" Some people began to shout, and then more people began to echo.

Then, the leftovers were served together, and even the beggars on the roadside tried their best to throw out today's lunch. Anyway, when people left, there were food everywhere on the street.

Suddenly, an old woman stood in front and blocked the large team. The prison officer in front shouted: "Who are you? This is a serious offender in the national court. Do you dare to stop him!"

The old woman was covered in silver hair and knelt on the ground, with tears rolling down, and she roared: "The emperor is wise. The old woman was originally a sold tofu in the south of the city. She was eighteen years old and became a military member. Last year, she went north to fight in a war and died on the battlefield. The old woman and the golden thieves are irreconcilable! You dog officials, we spend so much money every year to fight in the front, and so many good men sacrifice their lives and shed their blood, but you don't know how to ask for peace and compensation! You deserve damn!"

The imperial guards originally planned to drive the old woman away, but after hearing the old woman say that, they felt uncomfortable. Their old mother was as old as hers.

The people around were also touched. The Jin thieves were domineering and the country was in danger. These damn scholars and officials not only did not think about how to resist foreign enemies, but also forced the murder of the Holy Emperor who lived and died with the country!

The taxpayer's money was fed to these dogs and beasts!

Seeing this, Zhao Huan was also quite moved. He remembered his mother in his previous life. He wondered if his mother would be overly sad because of her death. She was as white as this old woman.

Finally, the Imperial City Guard still pulled the old woman aside.

Zhao Huan said to Wang Kui'an: "Go and check how much pension is paid to such a family member who died in battle."

"Abide by the order!"

"Also, go and tell the prison officer that before the age of ten, over seventy, and women with infants with cradles, they should be exempted from punishment. They will be sent to the land of Lingnan to contribute to the construction of a harmonious society in the Song Dynasty!"

"Abide by the order!"

Wang Kuian left with two emperors' deeds. Seeing the people's reaction, Zhao Huan felt even more confident.

At this time, outside Jiaocheng in Hedong, Lin Jinfeng finally found the Zhejia Army who had arrived here.

"I am the special envoy of the Holy Emperor, Lin Jinfeng, General Zhe, Your Majesty has a holy order!"

"Long live the emperor!"

Zhe Keqiu in the front center quickly took the lead in dismounting, and then the other generals also dismounted.

"General Zhe, Your Majesty ordered you and others to retreat to Fenyang, and you are not allowed to act rashly."

"Why is this? Taiyuan is a strategic location in Hedong, the Great Song Dynasty. Today, Wanyan Zonghan surrounded Taiyuan with 60,000 troops. I led the Zhe family army to rescue. Why did I retreat to Fenyang!"

Lin Jinfeng said coldly: "General Zhe, this is the holy intention. I only obeyed the order of the emperor and did not know anything else!"

"Abide by the order!"

At this time, two important military cities in Zhongshan and Hejian also received the imperial edict from Zhao Huan one after another.
Chapter completed!
