Chapter 93 The Emperor's Decision

The emergence of Royal Bank of the Song Dynasty was rampant. After Tang Ke's Art and Art Bureau was approved, he began to poach people from the official kiln and the Xiufang. Tang Ke handled this matter very low-key and not many people knew about it.

No one knew that at this time, Zhao Huan summoned an old man. This time, the summoning was not the emperor summoned ordinary ministers, and the old man did not have official titles, but it had epoch-making significance.

The Emperor of the Song Dynasty personally summoned an ancient scientist, the future president of the Royal Academy of Sciences, and no one paid attention to it, but from this moment on, the Song Dynasty began to embark on a new path.

Qin Hui said on the side: "Your Majesty, this is Han Gonglian."

"The old minister bows to the Emperor for peace."

The incense burner on the imperial table was burning strongly. Zhao Huan sat in front of the table and placed the book in his hand on the table and said, "Give it a seat."

"The old minister dare not."

"You are a good talent in the Song Dynasty. Why don't you dare to sit down?"

"Thank you, the emperor."

Qin Hui stood aside honestly, and Zhao Huan said, "I want to promote fortifications in the Song Dynasty, and I will rely on Han Qing in the future."

Before entering the palace to meet the saint, Han Gonglian was in conflict. Although he had already lived in seclusion, he had also heard of the current saints' bad deeds, killing people in a vague way, and the methods were extremely cruel. If Qin Hui had not spoken to him about his family and country justice, and was intimidated and tempted, he would have never come out.

But when the emperor just saw the emperor sitting in front of the imperial case and reading a book, all his previous thoughts were gone.

Is it such a handsome young man who cuts the heads of more than a thousand people?

Han Gonglian thought that Zhao Huan was facing evil, but he didn't want to look more like a literary scholar.

When Han Gonglian sat down, he felt that the emperor was approachable, without too many airs, and did not stumble around the bush, and did not ask anything else. He directly expressed his purpose in a very expectant tone.

This is a young emperor with ideals and ambitions!

This is Han Gonglian’s evaluation of Zhao Huan.

"It is the honor of the old minister to be able to share your worries."

"Han Qing, you can tell me any support you need. I will give you an imperial order. If you have any urgent matters in the future, you can go directly to the palace to find me."

Qin Hui was slightly shocked. This was the treatment of the prime minister. It seemed that the emperor really paid attention to this Academy of Sciences. Now that he had the opportunity, he had to do it well. If he did this, the emperor would naturally have more things to him in the future.

Hearing Zhao Huan say this, Han Gonglian was immediately moved to stand up: "I wish to devote all my life to the Holy Son!"

"Also, Qin Hui, you will take everyone from the Han family to Bian Jing, arrange a mansion for the Han family, and give Han Gonglian the baron, and go and do it immediately."

"Abide by the order!"

Han Gonglian didn't know what to say for a moment. Before he came, he thought Zhao Huan was a murderous devil, but now he felt ashamed.

Zhao Huan continued: "Han Qing, I think that fortifications is the foundation of the country and is related to the country, so I will hand over the Academy of Sciences to you."

Han Gonglian was so tears came out of tears when the emperor said these words, and he hurriedly gave a big gift: "Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to devote himself to the Song Dynasty until his death!"

In fact, Zhao Huan, a man from Han Gonglian, knew that he had worked with Su Song to set up the Water Transportation Eye Station. He was an astronomer in the Song Dynasty and inherited a lot of Su Song's engineering knowledge.

He was old and had already lived in seclusion and did not care about the world. Unexpectedly, Qin Hui actually found him, which was beyond Zhao Huan's expectations.

Since we need to vigorously develop science, of course we must serve them well and express our determination to them.

After seeing Han Gonglian, Qin Hui sent Han Gonglian out and came back.

"Qin Hui, what is the location chosen?"

"Report to your Majesty, you have already made a decision on the bank of the Bian River in the southeast of the city. The application has been submitted to the Ministry of Works and will be completed in about two months."

"Okay, you're doing it very well." Zhao Huan was silent for a while and said, "Qin Hui, what do you think about the new policy?"

Qin Hui's thoughts were like lightning. First of all, he made a point that he definitely supported the new policy!

"The accumulation of corruption in the Song Dynasty is getting deeper and deeper. It is the way of the saint to be able to implement the new policy in the Song Dynasty."

"But Emperor Shenzong also implemented it. Did the civil servants give him a "god"?

Qin Hui said: "I think there is a fundamental difference between Your Majesty's new policy and Wang Jiefu's reform."

“How to distinguish?”

"Wang Jiefu's new law is to compete with the people for profit, and the biggest disadvantage is the implementation issue." Qin Hui said carefully, "Your Majesty can take advantage of the matter of King Su to start promoting it on Jingdong Road and Jingxi Road, and stand firm in the four capitals and expand the whole country."

"How to stand firm in the Sijing?"

"The emperor abolished corvee service, which is a blessing for the people. However, if it is a blessing for the gentlemen and powerful people, it will naturally cause their resistance. Since it is a blessing for the people, we must naturally use the power of the people to fight against the gentlemen and powerful people."

“How to use it?”

"Your Majesty was rejected by the Jin thief and overcoming Yan Yun was exactly what the people wanted. King Su did his best. Why didn't he send people to the surrounding area to arrange stories and criticize King Su as the object of the opposite? It aroused the people's hatred of King Su. The more they hated King Su, the more they supported Your Majesty."

Zhao Huan nodded. Qin Hui’s words made sense. This is also the reason why he wanted to make the Song Dynasty report popular. The Song Dynasty report was his first step in controlling public opinion. Public opinion can control the hearts of the people. The emperor alone cannot fight against the landlord class and must mobilize the power of the people.

As for why Zhao Huan suddenly asked Qin Hui this question, because he received news from Xie Dahai, someone in the south was already conspiring to incite local tyrants and win over the hearts of the people. As long as the capital announced the new policy, chaos in the south would inevitably occur.

This is also the reason why Zhao Huan rushed to the new military camp to parade and drank with the new military generals. The emperor was ready for a fight. As long as there were large-scale abnormal movements in the south, he would not mind letting the commander Zong Ze go south to quell the rebellion.

This is Zhao Huan's logic. Zhao Huan wanted to cut off the corvee service in one breath, so that the people's time and energy can be released, and more people can increase their income. The people's income will increase. On the one hand, the society will be stable, and on the other hand, the business will also have unprecedented prosperity. As merchants make more money, the tax they pay will naturally be higher.

In ancient times, there was still a big difference between the south and the north, and there were chains of interests there. If the south was annoyed, there were very likely some people would rebel, and some people would use the natural danger of the Yangtze River to fight with Bianjing.

The Jin people had just been expelled, and Hebei and Hedong were in chaos. At this time, it was not suitable to fight with the south.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Huan had plans in his mind. In fact, he had already made a mistake before asking Qin Hui.

At the same time, he was also very clear that the ministers in the court had already begun to take action.

The current situation is different from Wanyan Zongwang's attack at Tokyo City. The main contradiction at that time was the conflict between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty. Zhao Huan killed the ministers on the spot, which would not cause a fierce internal rebound. After all, the reputation of Cai Jing and others was also bad, and killing them was the will of the people.

After thinking about it, Zhao Huan planned to adopt Qin Hui's strategy and first implement new policies on Jingdong Road, Jingxi Road, Hedong and Hebei Roads.
