Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 825 Anna's doubts

Of course, Zhao Huan did not hesitate to write an edict of amnesty, and the Maritime Maritime Supervision Department is more like a means of recruiting peace, recruiting local snakes at sea.

And what Da Song has to do is to force the dragon to suppress the local snake.

This should have caused a fierce conflict, but the roots of the Great Song maritime merchants were in the Great Song Dynasty. They couldn't run away, and they had nowhere to run, so they could only hand over their guards obediently.

Maritime merchants have to pay a fee every year for the establishment of these maritime trade supervision departments.

This protection fee is much less than the cost of maintaining guards in the past, and it went smoothly.

Fan Ruwei and He Li were the envoys of Liangzhe Road and Fujian Road and Lingnan Road, so they were naturally responsible for recruiting and training guards.

People in the Great Song Dynasty were never monolithic. Even with Zhao Huan having such an oppressive advantage over Jin Guo, the Imperial City Division attacked the activities of the Blackwater Division several times. So far, the Blackwater Division is still active?

With a population of [-] million in the Song Dynasty, it is not uncommon for a few dull people to emerge.

In this action of recruiting security guards, some marine merchants are willing to hand over their guards, and some marine merchants feel that they have guards, why?It is not uncommon for people who are unwilling to hand over their guards to flee to Japan and Zhancheng with their guards.

"The Romans faced the plague several times. About 500 years ago, Justinian I was a powerful and confident king like His Majesty. He wanted to restore the glory of Rome and made efforts. When he achieved his goal, a plague originating in Egypt interrupted his revival." Anna supported the teacup, looked at the busy Emperor Song, and said with a sigh.

Zhao Huan put down the letter in his hand. Yan Shangao, the county magistrate, is still extremely serious in his work. Some maritime merchants feel that they have been robbed of their interests by the officials and are unwilling to hand over their guards. Yan Shangao has persuaded them. Shang, has handed over the guard in his hand.

Jane is in the heart of the emperor.

Princess Anna's study tour in the Song Dynasty went smoothly. The people and bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty also had the legacy of the Tang Dynasty, so they didn't make things too difficult for the princess, because her books were very popular on Gyeonggi Road, and her life was not bad.

Today, Princess Anna submitted a letter of worship, hoping that the Emperor of Song Dynasty could explain some doubts, Zhao Huan was free, so she was allowed to enter the palace.

Anna flipped through the notebook in her hand and said: "At that time, about [-]% of the citizens of Constantinople died of the plague, and the heroic Justinian I and a large number of generals were infected. And in the whole of Rome, about [-]% People died. It was a catastrophe, it was a catastrophe."

"What do you want to ask?" Zhao Huan looked at Anna, took the pastries and tea from Zhu Lian, and placed them beside the hot spring.

There are three concubines living in Yanfu Palace. The noble concubine Zhu Lian, the Shu concubine Li Qingzhao, the virtuous concubine Zhu Fengying, and the virtuous concubine Cao Xian do not live in Yanfu Palace.

There are three concubines and one emperor, and there is an endless stream of eunuchs serving them. Because of the hot spring, the surroundings are not cold.

Anna put her notebook away, took out a quill, and said: "As far as I know, the plague is spreading in the kingdoms of Jin and Wa, and even the Ministry of Kelei. Except for the fact that the land of Kelei is large and the population is sparse, the epidemic has not expanded rapidly. , the Kingdom of Jin, the Kingdom of Wa, and the Tatars are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered in the hands of the disease, what saved Song Dynasty from this difficulty?"

Zhao Huan shook his hand and said: "First of all, I need to remind you that the Song Dynasty was not spared. Our Ezhou flood caused more than 15 casualties. These people died of floods, floods, weather, and food. It is a disaster, and it is also a disaster for Da Song."

"The weather is complex and changeable, and the epidemic is like a flame in this dry winter day. A raging fire may ignite everywhere, swallowing everything it can see."

The Great Emperor systematically said that the climatic catastrophe, which began in the second year of Jingkang with an average drop of two degrees Celsius in a century, was accompanied by plagues, warm winters, locust plagues, and floods. The crisis that the plague did not even know was a test for the Great Song ZTE.

Anna showed a wry smile: "The Great Song Dynasty will also divide the plague into water, gold, and plague. We don't even know that the plague has come. The water epidemic in the city-state of Ezhou has been properly controlled. Your tribune is carrying out disaster relief in the city-state of Ezhou. Obviously he The ability to complete the recovery of the Ezhou city-state."

Zhao Huan couldn't help but look at Anna. The function of tribal officer fits the function of the Song Dynasty's economic envoy and general manager, but the Ezhou city-state seems to be a cultural difference.

Zhao Huan tried to use words that Anna could understand: "Because the people of Song Dynasty trust our court, they know that the court needs to be responsible to the people, and the court obviously has this responsibility."

"Of course, sometimes, some monarchs are greedy for pleasure and lazy, and they will cause a lot of trouble."

"The common people are more afraid of the Jinghu water army who went to rescue the disaster, but the actions of the Jinghu water army proved their value, and then the people played a big role in this Ezhou war epidemic. This is mutual achievement."

"Ezhou is not a city-state. After the Qin Dynasty, the politics of city-state alliances did not have the soil to grow in this land."

Zhao Huan corrected Anna's remarks. Apparently, this girl who looks closer to Song people and has a straight nose still hasn't discovered the core values ​​of Song Dynasty.

Great unification is the lifelong pursuit of all kings, including Zhao Huan himself.

Anna tried to understand, and then asked: "Is it because you are the emperor? In our Rome, the emperor must go to the battlefield in person, and be brave enough, and also need to win the support of the Senate. My father is like this, his whole life Busy with the war and convincing the Senate, you can't stop for a moment."

"And His Majesty doesn't seem to have the record of fighting in person, and he doesn't look like a general. He doesn't need to persuade the courtiers who are equal to the Senate. He can do whatever he wants, even pardoning criminals, and no one opposes it. To boast of His Majesty's goodness."

"It seems that His Majesty has won the respect of all the tribunes of the city-state without doing anything, and even the life and death of these officials are in His Majesty's hands, and they seem to be very leisurely, with three beautiful wives, in such a gorgeous palace. Drinking tea by the hot springs. It's hard for me to understand."

Soul torture!

Zhao Huan counted with his fingers. Anna's statement is actually not wrong. Zhao Huan has indeed won all the way. In the military, he relied on the cultivation of teachers in the early stage and Yue Fei in the later stage. In politics, Li Gang ascended the throne from Zhao Huan. Since then, he has been his right-hand man.

On the road of wealth, the Great Song Dynasty Hall relied on the national funds, and Zhao Ying relied on the internal funds.

Zhao Huan said with a smile: "First of all, if our emperor is innocent and unable to fulfill his responsibilities, he will also be kicked out of power by the people in a brutal way, and his end will be extremely miserable. The responsibility of the emperor is to protect the people's livelihood and secure the world."

"Protecting the people's livelihood is to prevent nobles from oppressing the common people. To secure the world is to keep the enemy out of the country. If I give the common people respect and well-being, they will not be forced to hang on the crooked neck tree."

"If I don't give the people stability and respect, they will celebrate with their foreheads when I was taken away by the golden man."

Li Qingzhao listened to the officials' nonsense, and said dumbfoundedly: "They won't celebrate with their hands, and they will even try to save you. The peasants in the work relief center, but there are many bandits. They heard that the king's city was besieged. There are people from Qiongzhou."

"This is the people of the Song Dynasty, and they don't want much, just food and clothing."

"Although they don't know the official family, they hope that the official family will be a wise king who can feed them and clothe them warmly."

"And the official family is such a wise king."

Zhao Huan nodded. Li Qingzhao was obviously more reasonable than what he said, and could answer Anna's question better.

Zhao Huan's understanding of the emperor is a food chain relationship, the people will choose their emperor, and the emperor needs to suppress greedy officials, nobles, clan relatives, landlords and bandits.Otherwise, the common people will use carts to vote on who is the real king.

Li Qingzhao's understanding is from the Zhou Dynasty to the present, and he answers the question based on the values ​​and needs established during the millennium of Zhou Li.

Anna asked: "What if one day the common people don't have enough to eat and wear warm?"

"Princes and generals are kind, have you heard of it?" Zhao Huan said with a smile on his face.

His and Li Qingzhao's answers actually lead to the same goal by different routes.
