Where have the officials gone?

Regarding this question, Li Gang also wanted to know the answer - he did not do anything related to the emperor in the officialdom!

Abandoning the government, he led a group of troops to patrol the south, went on a killing spree in Quanzhou Prefecture, left behind a pile of mess, and then sent a message saying that he would go with the ship to patrol the north. Then he wandered off to wander around without knowing where he was.

, is this what a king of a country should do?

The nine emperors since the founding of the Song Dynasty are among the most bizarre official families today!

He casually said that he wanted to peel off the skin of the prefect of a prefecture. Ji Ziming, the prefect of Quanzhou, would die, but what about the court?

Originally, it was quite a headache to revise the "Song Xingtong", but in the end, I had to add such a stripping law to it!

If it were just like this, Li Gang felt that he could bear it by gritting his teeth, but the Queen Mother still wanted to ask where the official family was...

The more he thought about it, the more headache he got. Li Gang couldn't help but reach out and scratch the back of his head, and then looked at the hair in his hands in a daze——

My hair is falling out more and more. If I keep falling like this, will I become bald soon? Should I go to Daxiangguo Temple or Wutai Mountain? I don’t know if I can still become a legend at my age (43 years old).

The Wulang Bagua stick in the novel?

Li Gang looked at the hair in his hands, his thoughts were racing and he was filled with worries. He felt that among all the great officials of the Song Dynasty, he was the one who suffered the most. It took eight lifetimes of bad luck to meet such a shameless official.

Behind the bead curtain, Empress Dowager Meng and Empress Zhu were also in a bad mood.

"Send someone to tell the officials and tell them what the Ai family said and ask them to come back quickly."

After pausing the dragon-headed crutch in her hand, Empress Dowager Meng said angrily: "When a few more dragon sons are born in the harem, he can go on tours as he pleases, and the Ai family will never interfere!"

…

After Zhao Huan left Quanzhou Prefecture, he led a group of horsemen and went straight to Xijin Prefecture by sea.

The earliest name of Xijin Prefecture was Youzhou. In the first year of the Khitan Hui Tong, Yelu Deguang, Emperor Taizong of the Liao Dynasty, designated Youzhou as Youzhou Prefecture and upgraded it to Nanjing of the Liao Kingdom. In the first year of Kaitai, the Youdu Prefecture of Nanjing was changed to Yanjing Xijin Prefecture.

, the name comes from "taking Yan branch field Luyin as the Tianjin of Ximu", directly administering 11 counties and unifying 6 prefectures.

The so-called Eunuch Tong Guantong, who "expanded the border to the northwest and managed the remote Yan", led an army of 200,000 to attack the Liao Dynasty but was defeated and returned. Later, he "ransomed" Yan Yun Shi from the Jin soldiers with millions of dollars.

Six prefectures, including Xijin Prefecture.

However, as we all know, money cannot buy peace. Only by punching away can you avoid hundreds of punches.

Tong Guan, Tong's father-in-law bought back Youyan and was crowned king, but he also exposed the fact that the Song Dynasty was a paper tiger to the Jin soldiers. The reason why Wanyan Zonghan dared to use the leap-frog strategy to go south to attack the Song Dynasty was to use money with Tong's father-in-law to redeem Yan Yun.

The events in the Sixteen States are not unrelated.

"When the construction of the Great Wall is completed and I dare to pledge my life and property, not only the Jin Kingdom, but also the Xiongnu, the Turks and the Jin Kingdom are all tied together, and they will not be able to go south again."

Qin Huiwan, who came specially to Xijin Mansion to meet the Holy Spirit, pointed to the north and said: "All beacon towers can store troops and food. There must be a large outpost between every ten beacon towers where soldiers can be stored.

There are more than ten thousand beacon towers, and there is a city between every hundred beacon towers, which can be used not only to store troops and food, but also for people to live or take refuge.

If there is no war, the people can be sent out to cultivate and stockpile. If there is a war, the people can calmly return to the Great Wall. In this way, we, the Song Dynasty, will be in an invincible position on the northern grassland where we can advance, attack, and retreat."

Zhao Huan couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Qin Hui - this guy is really good at playing! The Great Wall hasn't been built yet, so he wants to use the current of the Great Wall to attack the grassland?

After praising Qin for playing a few words, Zhao Huan said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Qin Qing. Is there any problem you need me to help you solve now?"

Hearing what Zhao Huan said, Qin Hui suddenly became energetic. He rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "If it's a big problem, it's not a big problem. It's just a small problem..."

Looking at the awkward gestures Qin Hui made with his thumb and little finger, Zhao Huan smiled and said, "What's the problem? Qin Qing might as well talk about it."

Qin Hui chuckled again and said: "It's just...that's the laborer...the labor force is a bit not enough!"

Quietly taking a look at Zhao Huan, Qin Hui saw that there was no expression on Zhao Huan's face. Qin Hui continued: "It's not that I'm complaining, it's because the workers are too hard-working. Ten or eight people die almost every day. From the beginning of the construction,

There were not even ten thousand dead workers, but eight thousand.

If they continue to die at this rate, I am afraid that all these workers will be dead before the construction of the Great Wall is completed.

So, officials, are you trying to find a way to get a group of workers here?

Of course, the ministers can use the heads on their necks to guarantee that the dead ones are all laborers, and none of them are our common people in the Song Dynasty."

Zhao Huan suddenly fell silent.

Don’t talk about whether capital is bloody or not, and don’t talk about how many bones will be buried under the project. Just like there are the bones of countless Chinese workers under the roadbed of the American railways, there are also the bones of countless workers under the Great Wall of the Song Dynasty.

But as Qin Huixuan said, as long as the people who died were not ordinary people of the Song Dynasty, who would care about how many workers were buried under the Great Wall?

The court? The princes in the court don't have that much free time. They are too busy doing poetry and visiting brothels every day. Who has time to care about the life and death of the laborers?

Zhao Huan? Is it because there are too few scandals in the court, or are the concubines in the harem not beautiful anymore? Being an emperor is very busy!

But, labor is a big problem. Without enough labor, the construction speed of the Great Wall will slow down. Even if the Great Wall is barely completed, it is estimated that there will not be so many laborers to build other projects later.

However, there are so many messy projects such as the Grand Canal, the Straight Road, the Imperial Tombs, the new capital and palace, and the new city, and the number of laborers required is almost astronomical!

"Let's save some money first."

After being silent for a long time, Zhao Huan said: "When the border market with the Kingdom of Jin is opened, it is estimated that a group of workers will come to replenish it."

"Okay, I'll save some money then."

Qin Hui rubbed his hands and smiled and said: "I'll give those workers better food later, and give them more cotton-padded clothes, so that they can survive this winter first."

After finishing speaking, Qin Hui rolled his eyes and continued: "As for the official family, Wei Chen still has an immature idea?"

Seeing the excitement on Qin Hui's face, Zhao Huan couldn't help but laugh: "What do you think? Qin Qing might as well talk about it first. However, don't expect too many workers, after all, I have other things to do.

Let the labor do it."

Qin Hui shook his head and said: "In response to the official report, I think it is winter anyway, so it is better to select some good women from among the laborers and let them sew a batch of cotton-padded clothes, and wait until the border market opens."

Then sell it to the golden man?

Of course, it is impossible to use all good cotton. After all, it is sold to the Jin people. Weichen thinks that we can use some old cotton, re-spring it and then mix in some reed cotton. Then the cotton coat will be thick and durable.
