Chapter 643 Who dares to stop, kill without mercy
Compared with the time when the Jin Dynasty was at the city of Tokyo, Zhao Huan dared to kill four prime ministers in the court because there were firm pro-war factions in the court and many people in the court actually hoped that Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others would die.
Not only will it not cause people's hearts to fluctuate, but it will receive a group of officials willing to support themselves.
And the higher the level, the smaller the cost of replacing people.
The most difficult thing to change is the middle layer. They connect the past and the future and are responsible for the execution of specific affairs. You must find someone who can be fully replaced to replace it, otherwise it will be easily cut off.
You said that if Zhao Huan is now going to start a massacre on Shaanxi Road, it will definitely cause people's hearts to be disturbed.
Even if the people support it, after all, if power is in a vacuum for a while, it will inevitably lead to chaos.
Shaanxi Road is one of the important logistics sites in the Western Expedition. If it is in chaos at this time, it will have a great impact on Zhao Huan’s Western Expedition.
It would be okay to remove the official and kill people. If the new strategic envoy takes office, the situation on Shaanxi Road will take at least half a year to stabilize.
On weekdays, Zhao Huan naturally had already raised his sword, but now, he plans to put it aside.
The official will not move for the first time, but the businessman involved must die.
At this time, in a large mansion in Chang'an City.
Zhang Muyuan, a very famous businessman in Chang'an City, is singing and dancing to peace.
Like Zhu Qing in Tokyo, he was a businessman who rose in the era of the great grain explosion in the Song Dynasty in the first five years after the Jingkang New Deal.
He accumulated huge amounts of original funds, and in the eighth idea of Jingkang's new policy, he opened an iron smelting factory and textile factory, and invested a lot of people to mine.
Although the court later removed the private mining of private people, he has made a lot of money in recent years.
After the court issued a railway policy from Chang'an City to Xingqing Prefecture, he spent a huge amount of money to form a team among the people and obtained the bid through relations.
In this incident, the most people died in his caravan.
Those dead were basically dealt with secretly, because the mouth above was sealed tightly, so he was safe and sound.
Of course, he also heard that the emperor was investigating this matter.
However, he was not worried. According to the current situation, the emperor was going to expedition the west. Chang'an was located in the center of the northwest grain area and was one of the important grain supply areas for the Western Expedition army.
Zhang Muyuan hired almost five thousand people to transport food for the court.
It is the largest private grain transport team.
There is a reason why he dares to hire 5,000 people in one go.
He has a lot of his own fields.
Since the imperial court relaxed the land policy, he bought a lot of land and started growing crops.
He has also become the top five grain producers in Chang'an City.
Having enough food himself, and by building up government relations, most of his food was bought by the court.
And it was over-buyed.
No matter how you calculate this account, you will make a profit.
Now he has 5,000 people transport military rations for the court, and the officials' dependence on themselves is definitely not just a matter of food transportation.
More money in your pocket.
They will definitely do everything possible to say good things about themselves in front of the emperor.
This matter almost passed.
The emperor should have the Western Expedition, and changed his own way to transport grain.
I delayed major issues for some people, and this is not a qualified emperor!
He is not worried, but it does not mean that others are not worried either.
Wang Yan, who ranked tenth in wealth in Chang'an City, rushed to Zhang Muyuan's house at this moment, and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan in front of Zhang Muyuan.
"Brother Zhang, why can you still eat it? What you are here now is today. In the past half month, the Imperial City Department and the Tidian Criminal Prison Department have not stopped. They are about to investigate us. What should I do?"
Zhang Muyuan was confident: "Hahaha, Brother Wang, please be calm, be calm."
"I can't settle!"
"Come on, have a cup of tea first." Zhang Muyuan poured a cup of tea for Wang Yan, and then smiled, "Do you know what kind of tea this is?"
"I don't know!" Wang Yan was obviously in no mood to talk about these things.
"This is Longjing."
"So what? Is the head important or is it important to drink tea?"
"Hey, this is not an ordinary Longjing. This is a Longjing given to someone by a prime minister in Tokyo. This Longjing was given to the prime minister by His Majesty the Emperor."
"Oh, the tea the emperor drank?" Wang Yan was also a little surprised, and his uneasy expression just now slowed down slightly.
"Do you know why this prime minister gave me Longjing? And it was given by His Majesty."
“Why?”
Zhang Muyuan stood up, his tone seemed full, and his domineering body was faintly revealed: "Because of money!"
Wang Yan was slightly surprised, obviously not quite understanding what he meant.
"Because of money! Money can be a ghost, and I spent 300,000 guan to get to know this prime minister!"
"What is power!" Zhang Muyuan's eyes showed a strong confidence, "When power meets money, it's not a kind smile!"
He turned around and drank a big sip of tea: "The emperor drank the tea, he said, "
"I tell you that in the future, the world of the Song Dynasty is no longer up to the scholars and officials, but the rich people have the final say!"
Wang Yan quickly stood up, scared and sweating: "Don't say this!"
"I'm talking about the facts. Look at the Song Dynasty today, in just fourteen years, and fourteen years ago, it is already two worlds. The speed of this change is still accelerating, and the future changes will only become bigger and bigger."
"The saint is dead!"
"Those bulls think they have gained wealth in their labor, but in fact, what is the difference between them and ants? This time, even if ten thousand more people die in the railway construction, what if there are another ten thousand people?"
Wang Yan was simply shocked. He never expected that Zhang Muyuan could say such words, which would have subverted his worldview.
"The people of the fart are always the people of the fart. Want to turn over? Be good at the little money every month, and eat and dress are enough. This is the greatest favor given to them."
"But His Majesty the Emperor has already spoken at the Chang'an County Government Office and we must investigate this matter strictly."
Zhang Muyuan laughed even more, his smile full of disdain: "Do you know what our Majesty is best at doing?"
"fight?"
"No, no, no, no, I'm best at acting!" Zhang Muyuan's tone was full of mockery, "He is the emperor, so he naturally wants to play a good person with the people, but he didn't count it in his heart! Who transported the food for him, who transported the materials for the railway! Who built the road! Who cut the wood! Who planted the fields!"
"In politics, it's understandable that you act and play a good person, but if you take it seriously, you're really stupid."
Zhang Muyuan smiled and said, "So, sit down and drink with peace of mind."
Wang Yan looked like he suddenly realized: "I have figured it out a lot after you said this!"
"Come on, come on, taste the Emperor's Longjing!"
Just as Zhang Muyuan was enjoying the mellow Longjing, screams came from outside.
Soon, someone heard someone shouting: "Who dares to stop the Imperial City Guards, and they will be killed without mercy!"
