In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 125 King Wei, don't you even want power?
"This Dong Liu's family is the in-law of Zheng Zhaoxian (Jiading 12th year (1219), the privy council and the political affairs counselor). Let's negotiate with him, hand over part of the rent, and keep the other part of the rent. We will return it when it expires. .”

Although Zheng Zhaoxian retired, Zhao Yurui tried his best not to offend him, did not increase the rent, and asked to return it when it was due, and the other party readily agreed.

"This Li Dong's family is Zeng Conglong's good friend. We sponsored Zeng Conglong back then. We asked him to hand over part of it, and reduced or exempted his rent for the other part. We will calculate it when it is due."

Zeng Conglong was also the deputy prime minister in Jiading for 12 years (shenzhizhengshi). Because of the impeachment of the official, he was temporarily dismissed from the prime minister and stayed at home. In history, he will come back again.

Zhao Yurui didn't know if he would come back, but when he heard that he was dismissed, he wanted to try not to offend him, because there were too many people who came back in ancient times.

Zhou Lai was talking, and Feng Deshan and others listened in disbelief.

In just a few days, Zhao and Rui searched out most of the wealthy people in Dinghai County, and then divided them into three types.

The first type is people with background, try not to offend people, Zhao Yurui even adopted the method of rent reduction to maintain the win, but will take back part, others see that it is the king of Wei who is willing to lower the rent, and also willing Compromise, after all, this is King Wei.

The second type is businessmen with no background. Useful shops are taken back, and useless ones are rented up.

Feng Deshan could guess that after three days, those who still refuse to move and those who have no background will definitely be killed by King Wei.

The third type has a small background, and the background is not big. It can be offended or wooed. King Wei is wooing a group and attacking a group. He gives priority to attacking local businessmen in Dinghai County and wooing businessmen from other places.

Dinghai County is a place with a dense floating population, and the official statistics of the local resident population is more than 6. However, in the official statistics of the Southern Song Dynasty, the army, monks, bureaucrats, and even Goulan were not included in the statistics, and there were no outsiders. More than [-], about one tenth of which are migrants.

The king of Wei took back the houses of some local merchants and rented them to foreign merchants, causing infighting among them.

After some analysis by the people at the scene, they quickly determined the target to attack and woo.

"I heard that someone is preparing to go to Beijing to file an imperial lawsuit?" Zhao Yurui said in a deep voice at this time.

All the people around have strange expressions.

"This king takes back the house for official business, even if he comes before His Majesty, he has a clear conscience."

"For those stubborn opponents, there is only a resolute attack, go, and follow the plan."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and everyone quickly dispersed and left the house one after another.

Li Zongmian, the magistrate, followed Zhao Yurui slowly, as if he had something to say. Li Zongmian's evaluation in history was: he abides by the law, suppresses luck, does not have private relatives, and is relatively frugal. Mutually.

There is no accumulation of wealth, which proves that he is a righteous person.

He is frugal, he must have no corruption and no money, only his own salary will be used frugally.

Generally speaking, this person is more open-minded in handling affairs.

At this moment, he suddenly ran after Zhao Yurui and said in a low voice, "King Wei, be careful, don't kill anyone."

He paused and said, "If something major happens, it will not be good for King Wei to spread the word."

He said that he cared about Zhao Yurui, not that he was pedantic in his actions.

"In troubled times, heavy codes should be used." Zhao Yurui said in a deep voice: "We have just arrived in Qingyuan Mansion, if we can't even manage Dinghai County, I don't know how many people will laugh at us."

"Lord Li doesn't want us to gain nothing and not benefit the people, right?"

Zhao Yurui knew that to deal with these people, he should use righteousness and reason: "Master Li firmly believes that as long as we unite and work together, Dinghai County will definitely become the richest county in Song Dynasty."

"The people in Dinghai must be the happiest people in the Song Dynasty. Everything this king does is for the people to live better."

Li Zongmian was a little dizzy from being fooled. He really didn't expect that taking back the house had anything to do with benefiting the people.

But King Wei's work is still reliable, and since he followed King Wei, his income has also been much higher, because King Wei always sends food fish, meat, and even salt and sugar to his home.

King Wei knew his character, so he didn't send money, but sent the goods directly to his home, and it was useless for him to refuse.

With these things, his salary will be used less, which is equivalent to a salary increase in disguise.

He was still very grateful to King Wei for supporting him.

"Your official must do his best to support King Wei." Li Zongmian had no choice but to say.

At this time, on the streets of Dinghai County, a group of black-clothed teenagers walked in front with wooden sticks, followed by a group of armored soldiers, and they came to a row of houses in a mighty manner.

There are people everywhere on the street, all looking this way.

"What do you want? Don't count in black and white?" Someone stood at the door, surprised and angry.

"Instructions from the Department of Production and Construction are posted everywhere on the walls of each house. Those who do not move out within three days will be confiscated. We also do the courtesy first and then the soldiers." The leading young man, who was only on the left and right, had a very loud throat, and immediately shouted to the surroundings: " All the folks can see clearly that Zhizhisi first behaves first and then soldiers, and dissuasion is ineffective for three days, and someone forcibly occupies Zhizhisi's house, is it possible to disregard the life and death of the people for the sake of making money for oneself?"

"The Department of Manufacturing and Construction took back these houses to house refugees and poor people, and to seek welfare for the people."

"Fart the nuns." The boss yelled at him, believing you to be a ghost, and resettling refugees and ordinary people.

"Foul words, hit me." The young man yelled, and all the young men rushed forward one after another.

Zhao and Rui are not used to them, how dare you stand up and resist without background?It is you who beat them.

That day, Zhao Yurui smashed twenty houses and a dozen shops, and after moving out all the contents, they distributed them to the surrounding people on the spot.

Among them, a granary was copied, and Zhao Yurui sent people to distribute rice directly on the street, no matter who came, they could get the rice.

At the same time, there are teenagers spreading the word on the streets that those profiteers are tying up shops and houses and refusing to let them out, making a lot of money without helping the poor.

Propaganda tools are a powerful weapon, and the common people are more hostile to the rich. Zhao Yurui made such a publicity, and then distributed rice to give things away.

That day, Zhao Yurui and the others didn't spend much money, they only built more than [-] houses.

On the fifth day, he didn't need to send people to the door, and people from all walks of life came to the door one after another to ask for a refund of the rent and money.

Zhao Yurui refunded the money according to the contract. Some businesses were relatively large, and he would refund a little more. Everyone didn't know whether to scold him or thank him.

Of the dozens of rooms that Zhao and Rui smashed, they actually only belonged to three different bosses.

Three people were settled, and the others were all willing to compromise.

After thousands of houses were taken back one after another, some were rented out again, some were used by Zhao and Rui as their own tee room, and some were used as warehouses for Zhao and Rui to collect goods in the future.

Zhao Yurui demanded that the houses be surrounded by wooden and mud walls according to the planning of the later generations of the community, to ensure privacy, to have an entrance and exit, and to send people to guard them.

During the past few days in Dinghai County, Zhao Yurui had a young man named Quan Qi who was responsible for sending pigs, sheep, fish and other meat to Feng Deshanshui's army.

There should be small meat every day, and big meat once every three days.

Quanqi is responsible for purchasing and delivering goods. If they don't send money to Feng Deshan, they just deliver the goods. The money will be taken from Dinghai County's account in the future, because the local county government is responsible for the food supply of the navy.

How could the sailors get such treatment before, they all yelled after eating for a few days, and they all said it was good to come to Dinghai.

At this time Feng Deshan began to practice hard, mainly practicing water combat and discipline.

Zhao Yurui didn't train the first batch of navy troops, but let Feng Deshan do it himself, because it belonged to the forbidden army of the imperial court.

At the beginning of February in the 16th year of Jiading, Zhao Yurui came to Weiwang Mansion in Qingyuan Mansion.

The government of Qingyuan Mansion is in Yin County, and Nie Zishu is the judge. The county magistrate is Zheng Qingzhi, both of whom are from Shi Miyuan. When Zhao and Rui were in Dinghai County, they had already arrived there in advance.

This place is quite close to Dinghai County, less than fifty miles by land, and it takes less than an hour to ride a horse, and within two hours by water.

Because of the proximity, Zhao Yurui divided the people in the Wangfu into two parts, one in Dinghai County's Coastal Office, and the other in Weiwangfu, and he ran on both sides.

His own people were basically in Dinghai, and Shi Miyuan's people like the chief of the palace, Shi Moze, Sima Chengpi, etc., naturally also stayed in the palace, which separated his own people from Shi Miyuan's people all at once.

Chang Shi and Sima are extremely important officials in the palace. According to the Song system, the clan judges places and they are both top leaders, but the court is not at ease, so they will use Chang Shi and Sima to restrain the power of the clan.

When Zhao Kai, the former king of Wei, first came to Ningguo Mansion, the long history of Ningguo Mansion wanted to divide Ningguo Mansion with Sima, and let Zhao Kai enjoy the benefits.Zhao Kai categorically rejected this, and said to the emperor: "The minister was ordered to judge the Ningguo Mansion, and now the special commissioner Shi and Sima are in charge of political affairs. The minister was worried that the common people would be harassed because of the struggle for power and profit, which would only cause harm but no benefit. The minister believed that the Changshi and Sima were in charge of the money and grain and suing espionage as their duties, and the matters they managed should be submitted to the minister for approval. This would straighten out the relationship and benefit Remediation."

Later Song Xiaozong agreed, and Zhao Kai became the first local military and political leader in the Southern Song clan to enjoy real power.

At the beginning of February, Zhao Yurui, who had just arrived in Qingyuan Mansion, met some local officials of Qingyuan Mansion, and said in front of all the officials on the spot: "Although the king judges the place, the chief minister and Sima have the duty to divide and rule. You can report the matter to Mo Changshi and Cheng Sima first, and if the two adults can't handle it, then report it to the king."

There was an uproar at the scene, what King Wei said meant that he wanted to be the shopkeeper who let go, and didn't care about anything?Don't even want the right?

Mo Ze and Cheng Yi looked at each other and nodded secretly. The King of Wei really knew what he was interested in, and he didn't want to monopolize power like Zhao Kai, the former King of Wei.

I heard that King Wei is fighting for profit with the people in Dinghai County, he likes making money so much, it's time for King Wei to be more obsessed with making money.

There were three senior generals at the scene. The local garrison commanded Luo Wei, the deputy commander Jiang Fei, and Liang Pengying. The three originally wanted to meet Zhao Yurui in private after the meeting, but Zhao Yurui did not expect Zhao Yurui to say that he did not care about power. , the three of them immediately looked at each other in blank dismay.
