Chapter 347 The imperial power goes to the countryside(1/2)

The impact of the flood has not yet ended, and the southern part of Jingdong Road and Hebei Road have suffered heavy losses.

As August began, after the rain gradually decreased, under the organization of the government, the people returned to their hometowns and began to rebuild their homes.

A large number of disaster relief funds were allocated to Hebei Road and Jingdong Road.

But a large number of people fled south and did not go back. Some moved to Jingji Road, some went south to Liangzhe Road, and some even entered the wealthy Jinghu Road.

A large number of northern populations migrated southward, and social conflicts were soon exposed.

First, the grain prices in Jiangling Prefecture, Hangzhou Prefecture and other places increased to a certain extent, and then there was a big conflict between locals and outsiders.

The shortage of rental housing market has led to an increase in rents in the market and damaged the interests of those who originally rented housing.

Moreover, the form of industries is not proportional to the influx of population, and the number of idle people in some places has increased, which has caused some social security problems.

In short, several big cities in the south have experienced such pain.

On September 15, a shocking tragedy occurred in Jiangling Prefecture. The family who had just moved south from Jingdong Road to Jiangling was destroyed, and the couple and three children were all killed.

The murderer is a gangster on the streets of the local area.

The reason was that after they entered Jiangling Mansion, they soon found a fortification in the trading company. The husband could get two stagnant money a month, and the wife could get one stagnant money a month.

Such a family income is already considerable for ordinary people. After all, it only costs fifty cents to have a full meal a day.

The money for a month's meal is only 1,500 cents, and the remaining 1,500 cents can be made for something else.

I originally moved here and thought I had a happy life, but I didn't expect that I lost my life.

This incident was written on the front page by a staff member of the residence newspaper, and immediately caused a sensation in Jiangling Prefecture.

Soon, this matter came to the capital.

The reason why he was in trouble in the capital was because someone reported that the Jiangling magistrate Zheng Min bought a murderer. The target of the killing was the man named Gu Qingshan from Dibao News Agency.

The man was not killed and was rescued by the Imperial City Department.

This case immediately fermented from the family extermination case to a major case of prefect.

You should know that the prefect of Jiangling Prefecture is very high, and he is considered to be from the fourth rank, a local official!

The scandal of buying murder was not immediately published in the mansion newspaper, but was sent to the emperor's imperial case in the form of a memorial.

Now the people in the Zhengshi Hall can't sleep anymore.

In the past five years, solving the food problem has been the top priority of the court, and the key to food is in the south, among which Jinghu Second Road is the top priority.

There are not only the fertile Jianghan Plain, but also the crisscrossing lakes.

Both rice and wheat can be grown, such as fisheries and mining industries, which are very developed.

Moreover, there are many connections, so prosperous business naturally emerged.

Just talk about the tax paid last year, Jinghu Second Road was second only to Jingji Road and Liangzhe Road.

Zheng Min was Xu Churen's confidant and was also known for being an capable official in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty.

When this happened, Seo Chu-in ran into the palace overnight.

He was going to tell the emperor that it was all someone who was doing something behind the scenes.

It must be Liu Yanzong!

Liu Yanzong's face appeared in Xu Churen's mind, and he wanted to strangle him to death.

Liu Yanzong is getting more and more excessive. He will not be honest if he doesn’t give him some color!

He planned to expose Liu Yanzong in front of the emperor.

But as soon as he stepped into Zhao Huan's study, he heard Liu Yanzong's voice: "Your Majesty, I dare to say that this matter is probably implicated in the current dynasty. Please allow me to investigate it strictly!"

"Liu Yusi said something nonsense!" As soon as Liu Yanzong finished speaking, he heard Xu Churen scold him angrily.

Liu Yanzong has always been thick-skinned. When he saw Xu Churen coming, he looked even more proud: "Tazai Xu, you will know this once you investigate it!"

"Liu Yusi, in my opinion, this matter must be the one you Liu Yusi is behind the scenes!"

"Dazai is so rude. A certain emperor is in charge of justice and has nothing to do with civil affairs, and has nothing to do with Jiangling Mansion!" Liu Yanzong looked loyal and kind-hearted, "I am not targeting Dazai, but just for His Majesty's country, doing things for the sake of his majesty, and doing things in public, and not being selfless!"

"It's clear that you, Liu Yusi, want to install your own people to Jiangling Mansion!"

Liu Yanzong's eyes flashed with a cunning light: "Dazai, the matter has happened, please do not divert your attention. Now the Inspectorate should immediately file a case and verify the murder case for Jiangling Mansion to buy! The Emperor Shengming, if Xu Taizai really has nothing to do with this matter, he will not blame you!"

Liu Yanzong's words actually mean this: The emperor is wise! Xu Churen secretly instructed his subordinates to murder the officials of the Song Dynasty, which was a serious crime to deceive the emperor!

Xu Churen was too lazy to continue arguing with Liu Yanzong. He said to Zhao Huan in a very sad way: "Your Majesty, please allow me to go to Jiangling Road in person to investigate this matter strictly!"

"Mr. Xu is old. How can I bear to let Mr. Xu run around? I will ask someone to investigate this matter strictly!"

Liu Yanzong quickly answered, "Your Majesty, I will set out to Jiangling Mansion immediately. If I do not find out this matter, I will come to see you!"

Zhao Huan said: "Don't bother Liu Yusi. This matter involves the Great Song Dynasty mansion. Leave it to Shi Ziming to deal with it. I will ask Dali Temple to assist him!"

The emperor's meaning is also very simple. Liu Yanzong, just focus on officials above the sixth rank. If a person who was reported by the mansion was killed, did you forget your identity if you mobilize so much?

Zheng Min bought a murderer and had no evidence now. Do I want to touch my chief official because of a letter of complaint without evidence?

Or do you want to make this a major case that shocked the court?

Obviously the emperor was unwilling to make a big deal about this.

Even if Zheng Min is really guilty later, it is still proof of it.

And this matter needs to be comprehensively measured!

"Mr. Xu, go back and take a rest. Take good care of yourself. I still have too many things to do to you."

After hearing the emperor's words, Xu Churen's heart was slightly lowered.

He was quite sad and said with a sad tone: "I am guilty!"

Zhao Huan walked over and supported Xu Churen: "Governor Xu is my virtuous minister of governing the country. Now the Song Dynasty is in a state of chaos. Governor Xu let it go. I don't worry if you are here."

Xu Churen was so moved that he burst into tears and almost knelt down: "Thank you for your trust!"

"You, I, the king and the minister know each other, why should I do this? Go back and rest quickly."

After Xu Churen left, Liu Yanzong was shameless and still stayed here.

The emperor neither said that he was wrong in confronting Xu Churen, nor did he say that he was right, but he just didn't express his opinion anyway.

If you don’t express your opinion, you will be a default. The default is not Xu Churen’s guilt, and the default is that Liu Yanzong is a good confrontation.

But don't get over it, don't affect the overall situation.

Zheng Min doesn't know how to move casually now.

I have to spend money everywhere now. The situation in Jiangling Prefecture is very good. The accounts given to the court every year are very beautiful. Don’t move around this matter!

Liu Yanzong knew what the emperor meant.

Liu Yanzong was also sighing in his heart that he really wanted to arrange his own people to a good place like Jiangling Mansion, but it was difficult!

Zheng Min is a capable official, and the emperor cannot take risks and replace people at will.

Liu Yanzong began to have an idea of ​​making a move in his mind.

After all, he has been in the fifth year of the Song Dynasty, and it is time to deeply cultivate his confidants in the Song Dynasty.

This is a slight friction between factions in the Song Dynasty.

However, local social unrest caused by floods and large numbers of victims migrating south does exist.

The next day, the emperor still slept until the afternoon before he woke up.

After dinner, he changed his clothes and met with Hanlin scholar Shi Xun.

"Zi Ming, do you know the murder case of Jiangling Mansion?"

"Your Majesty, the Minister of Dali Temple has told me that I will find out the truth."

Zhao Huan was fiddling with the latest model of the Great Song Dynasty warship while drinking tea ceremony: "Thank you for your hard work."

"It is my duty to do things for Your Majesty!"

"Zi Ming, I have something unknown, please tell me."

"What is your Majesty's business? I know everything."

"How did you see the Jiangling Mansion's family extermination case?"

"Those who kill people violate the laws of the Song Dynasty must not be tolerated, but the rulers should also reflect. If the people do not educate, they will be mobs! They should use the law to warn them and educate them to be virtuous!"

Shi Ziming continued: "At the same time, we must also make all industries prosperous. If the people have something to do, have a fixed income, settle down and have a business, the illegal things will naturally be reduced."

"Zi Ming said it well!"

The reason why Zhao Huan asked Shi Xun to investigate this matter was that he went to the local area to gain an in-depth understanding of the current people's sentiments of the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty was the dynasty with the most scholars. Before the Song Dynasty, knowledge was monopolized by aristocratic families.

But when we arrived in this dynasty, it was no longer surprising that the prime ministers from poor families would become famous.

However, judging from the overall population, there are still too few scholars and there is still not enough education.
