Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

"Your Majesty, Weichen has a few ideas in his mind."

Hearing Zhao Chen's question, Qin Hui began to speak slowly after thinking about it for a while.

"Although there has been a mutiny in Jiangnan, your Majesty punishes King Kang's rebels, but the overall situation in Jiangnan is not in chaos! There is still a court in Jiangnan, and there are still government offices in Jiangnan! As long as the local government can still operate normally, Jiangnan will naturally be stable. Your Majesty should first make an order. To maintain the positions of officials in Jiangnan unchanged, these officials will naturally support Your Majesty. Secondly, the rent reduction order implemented by His Majesty in Guanshan, Chuanshu and other places is well-known in the world, but the officials and gentry all over Jiangnan are responsible for this rent reduction order. It is extremely horrible. Human nature is selfish, and he is not willing to harm his own interests. Your Majesty should order that Jiangnan does not implement the rent reduction order, so that officials and gentry everywhere can relax. Weichen also knows that Your Majesty is implementing the rent reduction order for the purpose of reducing rent. To benefit the people of the world, but ruling a big country is like cooking small dishes. Many things must be done slowly. If your majesty must implement a rent reduction order, it can be implemented throughout the Central Plains. Your majesty is strong, and Jurchen is by no means an opponent of your majesty. You can take time to regain it. The Central Plains is a sure thing. The population of the Central Plains is fragmented. No matter what policy your Majesty implements in the Central Plains, no one will oppose your Majesty. If the people from all over the Yangtze River see the Central Plains' rent reduction order, they will definitely go to the Central Plains. The population of Jiangnan is decreasing. The officials and gentry will take the initiative to ask your Majesty to implement a rent reduction order in Jiangnan." Qin Hui said.

"Not bad!" Zhao Chen smiled and nodded.

"Your Majesty should publicize the crimes of Yang Shi and others in the south of the Yangtze River! Your Majesty must tell the Confucian scholars in the world that you are not against the Confucian scholars in the world, but Yang Shi, Li Tong, Luo Congyan and others are rebellious and rebellious, and you have to punish you. Kill them! In the future, Your Majesty will still use these Confucian scholars, and the world still needs these Confucian scholars. I know that His Majesty is not afraid of these Confucian scholars. He did this to make Jiangnan more stable." Qin Hui said again.

"Yes, you are all the methods to make Jiangnan officials and Confucian scholars quickly and smoothly, but for the lower class, we also have to find a way. When I was in Guanshan and Hanzhong, I once established a propaganda department, and now the propaganda department is about to Entering the south of the Yangtze River will naturally stabilize the lower class people in the south of the Yangtze River." Zhao Chen said.

"In fact, if you want the people of the lower classes in the south of the Yangtze River to stabilize, you only need to cut off those many exorbitant taxes." At this moment, Zhao Ding said coldly.

Zhao Chen looked at Zhao Ding, and Zhao Ding snorted, and said, "Your Majesty said just now. The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of everyone. Now that there is chaos and the country is broken, I, Zhao Ding, naturally cannot retreat to the world. Right now. It is the time when my generation contributed to the country. However, I am not helping you Emperor Xuanwu, I am helping the people of the world."

"I understand." Zhao Chen nodded.

No matter what reason Zhao Ding stayed in the court, as long as he is willing to contribute.

"Over the years, in order to maintain huge military expenditures, Emperor Jianyan has implemented exorbitant taxes and taxes in the south of the Yangtze River. The people are miserable. Now that Emperor Jianyan is dead, his Majesty ruled the Song Dynasty, and his Majesty did not need such a lot of troops. At the time, Emperor Jianyan was subordinate to Emperor Jianyan. Many soldiers and horses can be reduced, and exorbitant taxes and taxes can naturally be reduced. In this way, the people are naturally grateful, and Jiangnan is naturally stable.” Zhao Ding said.

"Very good, both of you have good ideas, and I will adopt them." Zhao Chen nodded and said.

At this moment, another person entered the Funing Hall.

I saw Wang De walking in with a group of soldiers holding a stack of papers, and they put the papers on the table.

"Your Majesty, these are some of the official documents collected in the Jiangnan Palace. We have collected them for your majesty's inspection." Wang De said.

"Okay! Master Qin and Master Zhao are here, let's take a look!" Zhao Chen said.

These are all important official documents of the Jiangnan court in the book province. By watching these documents, you can see Zhao Gou’s governance methods and experience in these years in the shortest time. At the same time, you can also see the talents of the important officials of the Jiangnan court and the overall situation of Jiangnan. Have a general understanding. In addition to the official documents of the Central Government, there are also a large number of official documents in the Privy Council, but they have not yet been sent to Zhao Chen.

It was already dark outside, and Zhao Chen sat at the table carefully looking over and inquiring, not asking Qin Hui and Zhao Ding to understand the big and small affairs of the Jiangnan court over the years.

He looked very carefully and asked very carefully. He ruled Guanshan, Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu for many years, and he also had his own unique insights and values ​​in governing the country.

Seeing Zhao Chen's serious look, Zhao Ding couldn't help but sigh secretly, thinking that Zhao Chen really has a place far superior to Zhao Gou. When Zhao Gou was in the palace, he never dealt with official duties at night. He would only hang out with some women and eunuchs in the harem every day. Even on weekdays, it is impossible for Zhao Gou to care about these official documents so much, and Zhao Gou's ability to govern the country is far inferior to Zhao Chen. The attitude is not as good as the opponent, and the ability is not as good as the opponent. No wonder he was defeated in just a few years and was beaten to the south of the Yangtze River by the opponent and occupied Lin'an.

Zhao Chen didn't stop until Zi Shi.

"It's getting late today, continue to check tomorrow! By the way, you both have a lot of subordinates, you want to use all of these people, first let the Jiangnan court resume operation." Zhao Chen said.

Qin Hui and Zhao Ding agreed.

"Lin'an is the capital city of the south of the Yangtze River. Even in the future, when the world is truly peaceful, Lin'an is also a big city in the south of the Yangtze River and the country's companion capital. This is very important. I must first stabilize this place." Zhao Chen said with a smile.

Qin Hui and Zhao Ding were secretly curious, not knowing what method Zhao Chen would use to settle this place.

Just after the Miao and Liu Mutiny, Zhao Chen entered the city, Yang Shi rebelled, and so on, the people of Lin'an City were greatly frightened. It may take a long time for the city to restore its former prosperity.

In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was just getting light, countless poor people in the south of Lin'an had already got up.

It’s just that Lin’an City just experienced a turmoil yesterday. Countless rebels and court officials were punishable by the nine tribes. Although these ordinary people did not suffer any disaster, they were still terrifying. At this moment, they were hiding in their own homes and did not dare to go out.

In an alley, there are five or six families here.

One of the houses is the most dilapidated. Their yard is not small. It is a pity that the yard is full of thatched huts, and there is no decent furniture in the thatched huts. The real family members have four walls.

The sky was getting brighter, and there were crying voices in the yard.

It was a few children crying and they wanted to go out, but their parents wouldn't let them out at all.

In addition to their parents, they also have a grandfather in their fifties, and they also have a great-grandfather in their seventies.

"Hurry up and let them stop crying! Now no one knows what's going on in the city! It wouldn't be good if the rebels were recruited!" the 70-something old man said anxiously.

"Father, we are so poor here, and the rebels won't come to us?" said his 50-year-old son.

"That might be!" The old man shook his head and said.

The two of them were talking, and at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Hearing the knock on the door, the 70-year-old man was shocked, and his 50-year-old son also stayed there.

"Hurry up! Let the children hide! Let the grandson and daughter-in-law also hide! In such a chaotic world, no one knows what will happen!" The old man hurriedly said.

"Daddy, what shall we do? Do you want to open the door!" said the son in his fifties.

"I don't know either!" The old man was panicked at the moment.

"Father, I think we can all hide!" A young man in his twenties came to them and said anxiously.

This is the grandson of the old man! The old man has only one son and one grandson, but fortunately he has three great-grandchildren.

At this moment, the three great-grandchildren have hid, and his daughter-in-law and grand-daughter-in-law have also hid, leaving only three of them in the yard.

The knock on the door became more intense.

"Go! Open the courtyard door! Even if we don't open it, they will break in!" The old man took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

At the moment, his twenty-something-year-old grandson came to the gate of the courtyard and opened the gate tremblingly.

As soon as he opened the courtyard door, he saw more than a dozen black-armored soldiers outside. Seeing these soldiers, he felt dizzy in front of him, and it was indeed a rebel who came here!

He originally thought that the rebels would push him away arbitrarily, and then broke into the yard. Who knew that the rebels stood there and didn't come in.

"Bing... Master Bing, do you have anything to do?" The old man in his seventies had already stepped forward at the moment, his voice trembling.

"It's nothing, just come here to take a look! I have been in Jiangnan for a few days, and I should visit the people in Jiangnan." A gentle voice came from outside.

I saw a young man who was less than twenty years old appeared in front of them. This young man was brave and brave, dressed in bright yellow clothes and embroidered with golden dragons.

After seeing this young man, the old man stayed there all of a sudden, his grandson stayed there too, his son followed behind him, and he was also stunned at this moment!

"You...you are..." the old man asked in a trembling voice.

Even the most ordinary people know who is wearing this costume! Except for the supreme person in this world, it is impossible for anyone to wear such a dress again! But how could that person come to the homes of such poor and lowly people? Since ancient times, I have never heard of such a thing!

"I am Zhao Chen, the emperor of Song Dynasty!" Zhao Chen smiled.

The old man stayed there, speechless.

After a while, the old man knelt down there suddenly, and his sons and grandsons had already knelt down there.

"Your Majesty...caomin, see your Majesty!" The old man's voice trembled, and he almost cried out of excitement.

"All flat." Zhao Chen said softly.

The old man felt his body straight at the moment, and he couldn't stand up at all.

Now Zhao Chen walked forward and personally helped the old man up.

As for the old man's sons and grandsons, they were also helped up at this moment.

"Your Majesty... It turned out to be the majesty, emperor, and emperor of Song Dynasty. He came to our house! I am not a dream! God! How could such a thing happen?" The old man was excited at this moment and his body was trembling constantly.

"Your Majesty, please, please come in! Quickly, go and take out the best things in the house, and entertain your Majesty!" At this moment, the old man's son was excited and excited, shouting hurriedly.

At the moment, the old man's grandson has hurriedly arranged this matter. They originally wanted to invite Zhao Chen into the house, but their house was really badly broken.

So the grandson of the old man moved the table out, brewed the best tea in his home, and put it on the table. He flushed the bowl with boiling water, only then began to make tea and placed it in front of Zhao Chen.

His hands were trembling constantly, and the tea was half poured before it was handed to Zhao Chen's hands.

"Sit down together." Zhao Chen said.

"Where is there a seat for the Caomin in front of Your Majesty? The Caomin would never dare to sit!" The seventy-year-old man said with excitement and trepidation.

"Come on, help the old man sit down." Zhao Chen said.

At the moment, a soldier stepped forward and helped the old man to sit down. As for the old man's son and grandson, they are still standing there, looking respectful.

"In these days, a lot of things have happened in Lin'an city. I am very sorry in my heart for slaying the rebels and making life inconvenient for the people." Zhao Chen said.

"What did your majesty say? The rebels are rebelling, and the crime deserves ten thousand deaths. It is only natural for your majes to kill them." The old man finally returned to normal at this moment.

"Anyway, let the people worry and fear, I still feel uneasy in my heart." Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, this is nothing." The old man said.

"I came here today to tell you that this will never happen again from now on. You can go out normally as usual. I assure you that Lin'an City will only be safer than before." Zhao Chen said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The old man kept nodding.

"King Kang usurped the throne, I went down from Sichuan and Shu, and killed King Kang. From now on, the Song Dynasty will be the same as the previous Song Dynasty, but the court will no longer be the previous court. Do you have any suggestions for the political affairs of the country?" Zhao Chen said. .

"This... Your Majesty, you should use more upright officials and less corrupt officials." The old man opened his mouth for a long time before finally uttering a word.

"Okay! I will naturally use upright officials, and I will not use corrupt officials!" Zhao Chen said.

"If Your Majesty does this, he will definitely be a Mingjun in the future." The old man said.

"If you want to be a Mingjun, you need to have upright officials and use less corrupt officials. These alone are not enough. I will also vigorously promote benevolent governance to benefit the people of the world." Zhao Chen said.

"The old man thanked your Majesty for the people of the world." The old man said.

"Today I came out of the palace, and the first person to come was your family. Seeing that your descendants are in the same house, I am happy and happy. I will leave you with a picture, and I wish the old people a lot of happiness and longevity, and many children and grandchildren." Smiled.

Immediately someone took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Zhao Chen wrote a set of words on the table.

"My father is a hundred years old, he often recites eighty children", after Zhao Chen finished writing, he said slowly.

In this era, the literacy rate is extremely low, and ordinary people have few literacy at all. Moreover, these people didn't understand the meaning of complicated poems, so Zhao Chen wrote two very common words. Although the words are ordinary, they contain the meaning of wishing the elderly a long life and a hundred years. After Zhao Chen finished his reading, the youngest family knew what Zhao Chen wrote.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Caomin, thank your Majesty." The old man said excitedly again.

"I have to go to other places to see how the people live in Lin'an City. Old man, I wish you good health, and when the world is peaceful in the future, I may come to you to chat and talk. Today, I will leave first. Now." Zhao Chen stood up and smiled.

"Cao Min waits for your majesty!" The old man and his family knelt down again at this moment and said in unison.

Zhao Chen left the house with the guards and had already gone far. Only then did the old man's son and grandson stand up, and they helped the old man up.

"I was not dreaming just now?" The old man's voice still trembled.

"Daddy, it was indeed our emperor and emperor who came to our house just now! We are not dreaming!" The voice of the old man's son was also shaking.

"Is this word really written by your majesty?" the old man said again.

"Your Majesty really wrote it!" said the old man's grandson.

"This...this...I lived to be seventy years old. I never dreamed that I would see my Emperor of Song Dynasty and be able to get a handwriting from my Emperor of Song Dynasty! I was worth it in my entire life! The word staying in our home will also be a family heirloom in the future. This will be passed down from generation to generation and will remain in our home forever!" said the old man.

"Your Majesty said that the rebels have been killed, and Lin'an City will return to normal in the future. I don't know if it is true or not?" the old man's son said.

"Asshole, I said such a thing! Since ancient times, there has been no joking, your Majesty said it must be true! You dare to doubt your Majesty's words, it is really worthy of death!" the old man yelled.

"The child is convicted!" The old man's son hurriedly said.

At this moment, there was another knock on the door outside. At this time, the old man's grandson opened the courtyard door without any hesitation, and saw a middle-aged man in his forties from the neighbor standing at the door.

"Father, I just saw the insurgents coming. I hurriedly closed the door. I saw them coming towards your house. How is your house?" The middle-aged humane said.

"Great fortune! Great fortune! I'm about to tell you!" The old man laughed.

Right now the old man began to talk to the middle-aged man, and after he finished speaking, the middle-aged man stayed there too! Less than an hour later, hundreds of families around here all learned about the emperor's visit to the elderly's homes, and hundreds of families made a sensation for a while!

For a whole day, Zhao Chen visited dozens of homes from south to north and east to west. At night, the entire Lin'an city was a sensation.
