Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 790
Chen Zimei came to the capital to offer auspiciousness, and is actively contacting Lingnan, using his maritime trade relationship, to get more Lingnan chamaejasma taro to Bianjing for research in the Imperial Hospital.

When he was still in contact with the upstream and downstream, he was suddenly frightened by the Bianjing Yamen servants who broke into the door, and was transferred to Xing Prison not long after.

Song Shiqing is an extremely stern and selfless person, even Zhao Guan's family has approved his marriage and made compensation for the Ayun case back then.

But Song Shiqing still didn't give the Emperor Song any face, and rejected the emperor's edict.

After Zhao Huan learned that Chen Zimei was in prison, he felt that the conditions in the prison were not good, and wanted to transfer Chen Zimei to Dali Temple, but Song Shiqing rejected the proposal.

And the Court of Justice and Dali Temple Minister began to discuss the Chen Zimei case extensively.

Chang Chaoshang once again became as lively as the vegetable market, the public said the public was right, and the mother-in-law said the woman was right.

The Judicial Court, the Punishment Division, and the Dali Temple all firmly believe that Chen Zimei's guilt cannot be escaped. There are witnesses and material evidence, and the law of the country is ruthless, so they find her guilty.

However, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry surprisingly stood on the side of the Criminal Court this time, thinking that the Ministry of Criminal Justice handled it well.

However, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Household Affairs joined together and determined that there was a suspicion of false accusation in this matter. Only relying on the words of the shopkeeper of Anjifang in Ezhou, it cannot be convicted, especially in the absence of any written evidence.

"What? Chen Zimei has been cleared of the crime. If they can't be given a heavy sentence or even not sentenced, wouldn't the people behind them also escape from the crime? Could it be that among the people arrested this time, is there someone you want to protect?" Song Shiqing Said with a sneer.

"Officials, this case is full of doubts. I think I can wait for Zong Shaoqing to interrogate him before making a decision."

"It's true that merchants value profits, and they even do whatever they can to make profits, but my Chen family's business routes extend in all directions, and selling a few people is no more profitable than sending equal-weight tea to the Kelei Department, or pulling equal-weight silver materials from the Wa Kingdom."

"My Chen family can make money just standing there, so why bother to corrupt the country and harm the people?" Chen Chong, the second official of the Ministry of Commerce, stood up and said.

He didn't have any intention of avoiding it, and even stated directly that the Chen family didn't care about such a small amount of money at all.

The words "rich and powerful" were written on Chen Chong's face.

Zhao Huan was amused by Chen Chong's appearance, the father and son switched roles, it was better, and above the temple, Chen Chong still looked a little stunned.

Zhao Huan sat up straight and said: "Okay, but if there is something, you can quarrel. Do you have to raise your hands to decide whether Chen Zimei will die or not? The entire Great Song Dynasty Hall is like a vegetable market."

"War epidemic is equivalent to war, both of which involve the stability of the Song Dynasty's country and society."

"Zong Shaoqing, the war epidemic is raging ahead, you have no way to do it in the rear, you are worse than Zhao Ying, anyway, Zhao Ying also gave me an idea, let the official of the Imperial City Division of Bianjing go to Ezhou to take charge The judge will go to the judge to hear the case, how about you? Get out of the way!"

"Let's leave, Li Dazai, Song Shaoqing, and Li Shilang stay, and the others go."

"Retreat!" Zhao Ying's frustrating voice sounded in Wende Hall, and Zhao Huan rubbed his swollen forehead.

In fact, he could understand Chen Zimei's current mood very well.

According to Zhao Huan's estimate, it is impossible for Chen Zimei to be interested in the business of human teeth, and it is impossible for him to issue such an order.

Champa breeds from Champa of the same weight are more profitable than those sold in Champa.

Moreover, Chen Zimei wanted to pack the Chen family and give it to the inner money more than once or twice. The last time Koryo competed with the national money for profit also proved that Chen Zimei was afraid.

He has a lot of money in his hand, so much that he is afraid of it.

Just like the pigs in the pigsty don't want to be the strongest and fattest, for fear of being pulled out by the officials to subsidize the country.

Chen Zimei must be in a very bad mood, just as Zhao Huan looked at the group of people under him, for their own sake, they were as boring as shrews cursing in the court hall.

Zhao Huan rubbed his slightly trembling temples, and said, "Li Dazai, strictly order Tangkou City Boss to pay attention to the Japanese plague. If it rages on Liangzhe Road, I will use his head to pay the people's anger."

"If the trouble gets to the point where I need to write an edict of guilt, let him figure it out."

Li Gang bowed his head and said: "Yes, there have been repeated orders and five applications, and twelve gold-lettered plaques have issued urgent orders to order strict precautions at the Tangkou. The ships of the Japanese country have restricted navigation, and the merchants of the Song Dynasty who returned from the Japanese country will be quarantined when they disembark. Measures are in place."

"You've done a good job, but you still have to rely on isolation to cure the plague." Zhao Huan nodded and said that the Shibo Department in Tangkou could consider promoting him.

"King Toba of the Wa Kingdom hasn't sent a letter asking for help so far. He thinks that the plague won't be a problem when he is near the Kingdom of Jin? I'm so worried." Zhao Huan rubbed his temples and said.

"Um, why do the officials care about the affairs of the Japanese country? As long as the major wharfs and the Shibo Department take strict precautions, the plague of the Japanese country will not spread to my Great Song Dynasty." Li Mixun asked suspiciously.

Zhao Huan sneered, why is Li Gang the Zaizhi?And how old are you, Li Mixun, and you are still a servant?
Li Gang glanced at Li Mixun, not even interested in explaining, very much like the attitude of the academic gods in the class to the scumbags.

Li Mixun looked at the official with a confused face, his eyes filled with pleading for help.

"Li Shilang, you are a bureaucrat of the Ministry of Household Affairs, you still don't understand this matter?...Forget it, let me explain it to you." Zhao Huan took a sip of hot tea and said: "The money shortage in the Song Dynasty must have been caused by Li Shilang. , also heard about it."

Li Mixun nodded numbly. This matter was closely related to his salary. Of course he knew that Li Mixun would still shout long live when the government changed his salary from iron money to silver dollars.

After all, silver dollars are more valuable. There are always 350 Wen on the market, which is less than one silver dollar.

"With the forging of silver dollars in the Great Song Dynasty and the continuous promotion of the Bank of the Great Song Dynasty, the money shortage in the Great Song Dynasty has been alleviated on a large scale. In order to restore the reputation of the court, the current silver dollar bills dare not issue any more. Presumably Li Shilang I know too." Zhao Huan said with a smile.

"Yes." Li Mixun said hastily.

Of course he understood!

How did silver dollars and silver dollar coins become hard currency?Why is it so valuable?
Isn't it because of the government's enforcement not to over-issue?

People in the Song Dynasty believed in the golden words of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, and the Emperor of the Song Dynasty has always carried out the original edict.

This is the great song silver dollar endorsed by the great song emperor's reputation.

"The merchant ships from the two Zhejiang provinces and the two rivers have to go to Champa, Japan, Koryo, Nanyang, and even further afield. The merchants of the Song Dynasty used porcelain, tea, silk, paper, etc. to exchange fine seeds and spices in Nanyang. , gemstones and other things are exchanged for silver materials in the country of Wa."

"So the Wa Kingdom has actually become an important trading partner of our Great Song Dynasty, and a tool to stabilize the money shortage. If it is paralyzed and cannot produce silver materials stably, our Great Song Dynasty may be in danger of a money shortage. If the Japanese plague spreads to Champa And Nanyang, the maritime trade development of the Song Dynasty is bound to be hindered." Zhao Huan said with a smile.

Li Mixun is the newly appointed servant of the household department, so the relationship is not clear, and it is not easy to just know how to collect taxes.

Only then did Li Mixun nod his head, and said, "Saving the Wa Kingdom is not the same as saving the Song Dynasty, but is it equivalent to restoring the prosperity of the Song Dynasty?"

"Yes or no, this flood in the south of the Yangtze River, the flood in Jinghu Lake, and the war in Liaodong, there are so many holes, there must be a place to fill them. Wa country, in my opinion, is not bad." Zhao Huan said with a smile.

Li Gang's eyes lit up, and the smile on his face grew wider.

It is a common operation in the Song Dynasty to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, and it often has endless troubles.

But now it seems extremely reasonable to tear down the walls of other people's homes.
