The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 111
It was raining lightly this night.

Before dawn the next day, before five o'clock, Zhao Dongting got up, let Ying Er and Yue Wu dress up, and prepared to go to the morning court.

In fact, he felt that the other rules of the Southern Song Dynasty were fine, but the early dynasty was a bit early.Not to mention himself, those ministers would occasionally look sleepy.

The rain outside has stopped.

Yinger was combing Zhao Dongting's hair when Zhao Dongting suddenly said, "Yinger, what do you think of me delaying the morning court a little bit?"

"Ok?"

Yinger was surprised, wondering why Zhao Dongting suddenly mentioned this.

Zhao Dongting said: "It is really inconvenient to have to go to court early before dawn, which will delay my time to practice swords, and all the ministers will not be able to rest well."

Modern working hours are nine to five, and sometimes he feels that being an emperor and a minister is also quite hard.

Yinger thought for a while, and said: "If the emperor feels tired, you can discuss this matter with Lord Lu and the others."

Zhao Dongting nodded.

After a short time, the sky was getting bright, he walked out of the house wearing a dragon robe, and suddenly froze.

Overnight, the wild pear blossoms in the courtyard were in full bloom, as white as snow and clustered in clusters.It was as if a spring breeze came overnight, thousands of trees and pear trees bloomed, and the air was full of freshness.

Zhao Dongting took a deep breath and smiled.

The whole world seemed to be full of vitality, and all the distracting thoughts in his mind were eliminated.

Yinger was also shocked by the beautiful scenery, her beautiful eyes were full of confusion.

There are no such beautiful wild pear flowers in Lin'an.

After a few minutes, Zhao Dongting took another step and walked out of the courtyard.

There are wild pear flowers everywhere in Zhizhou Mansion, and there are snow-white clusters everywhere, which is really beautiful.

When he arrived at the Yizheng Hall, the officials were already waiting outside the hall, some of them were yawning, and when they saw Zhao Dongting arrived, they cheered up again.

This is also in Leizhou now, they all live not far from Zhizhou Mansion, when they were in Lin'an before, some of their mansions were far away from the imperial palace, and they had to get up around three o'clock to prepare for the morning court.

Of course, they also need to get up around four o'clock now.

Zhao Dongting walked over and did not go directly into the hall, but asked: "Are you resting well?"

The ministers naturally nodded and said they had a good rest.

Zhao Dongting couldn't help laughing, and said: "My dear friends, don't lie to me, you all have the word tired written on your face! In this way, the time of the morning court will be postponed from Mao to Chen, everyone, rest well Only then can we have more energy to handle affairs for the court.”

All the officials were happy, even Lu Xiufu, who was as diligent in politics, did not speak out to persuade him.

Zhao Dongting smiled, and then walked to the Palace of Political Affairs.

The officials followed and filed in.

After the emperor and ministers sat down and saluted, Zhao Dongting asked if there was something to play, but no one spoke.Zhao Dongting then sent Xuan Qinhan, the young eunuch next to him, to see him.

The little eunuch led the order and hurried to the outside of the hall.

Zhao Dongting glanced at the ministers of civil and military affairs in the hall, and said: "My dear friends, now that the pirates have been eliminated and Leizhou has been initially established, it is an excellent time to develop Leizhou. I hope that all ministries and departments will work hard to supervise and clear Leizhou's schools and medical offices as soon as possible. , Banks, etc. have been developed in various counties in the prefecture, and the opening of ferries and road repairs also need to be stepped up. Leizhou is short of small things, and only by opening up business and trade with the outside world can it prosper and the people can be rich."

The ministries and divisions are headed by Lu Xiufu, Liu Fu and others, and the officials bow down to take orders.

Zhao Dongting gave them a detailed plan for the development of Leizhou, among which plans such as the establishment of the National Medical Administration and Che Shu were unprecedented, which shocked them.They were even more surprised by the establishment of state-owned banks in various places to allow people to save money and take out loans.

It's really hard for them to understand how Zhao Dongting came up with these methods, but they don't know that Zhao Dongting copied them according to modern construction.

After a few seconds of silence, Zhao Dongting looked at Xiang Dongyang, and said again: "Xiang Aiqing, now that the overall situation in Leizhou has been decided, I want you to go to Qiongzhou as the censor to take charge of government affairs and implement the system of dividing land. If Leizhou develops like Leizhou, you Would you like to?"

Hearing the words, Xiang Dongyang walked out and said, "Your Majesty, Qiongzhou already has a prefecture. If I go like this, Master Zhao will..."

"will not."

Zhao Dongting knew that Xiang Dongyang was afraid that Zhao Yuluo would have some thoughts in his mind, so he waved his hands and said, "My class teacher has already talked to Zhao Zhizhou about this before returning to the court. He is very welcome to be in charge of Qiongzhou's political affairs."

Xiang Dongyang heard the words, bowed and said: "In this case, I would like to go."

Leizhou's land distribution system has been fully implemented, and Lu Xiufu, Liu Fu and others are in charge of government affairs. In fact, Xiang Dongyang himself feels bored.

This matter has been settled like this.

Zhao Dongting also granted Shang Fang the sword and gave Xiang Dongyang absolute rights, which made Xiang Dongyang very grateful.

At this time, Qin Han also came in with the eunuch.

But even if he entered the highest power hall in the Southern Song Dynasty, he still didn't kneel to Zhao Dongting, but just bowed.

Many ministers who abide by etiquette can't help but frown.

Zhao Dongting said: "Qin Han, you have made great contributions to the great victory in Qiongzhou, and I will appoint you as a counselor of the Ministry of State. From the fourth rank, how about it?"

Because he was afraid of Qin Han, he didn't intend to give Qin Han a high official title.

Unexpectedly, Qin Han actually said: "Your Majesty, the grassroots don't want to be an official, just be a real and anonymous military adviser."

Not to mention all the ministers, even Zhao Dongting was surprised, "You don't want to be an official?"

Qin Han replied indifferently: "Yes."

This made Zhao Dongting couldn't help thinking, could it be that Qin Han wanted to protect his life wisely, so as not to encounter the result of a dead dog in the future?

He came to the Great Song Dynasty and offered his own good strategies, really just to express his talents and learning?

Naturally, Zhao Dongting would not insist on granting Qin Han an official position, so it would be better, so he nodded immediately and said, "That's good! You will stay by my side and be my military advisor."

Qin Han nodded, and walked out of the hall on his own.

The officials looked at me and I looked at you, with surprise and bewilderment in their eyes.

When the court was over, Zhang Shijie waited for Zhao Dongting outside the hall. Seeing him coming out, he went up to meet him worriedly, and said softly, "Your Majesty, what do you think about the birth of a disciple from Guigu Academy?"

Zhao Dongting looked at him and said, "Master Zhang, you may as well speak up if you have something to say."

Zhang Shijie bowed and said: "The disciples of Guigu Academy are all pedants and heavenly beings. When they are born, I'm afraid there will be rebellions in this world."

He was obviously also jealous of those disciples in Guigu Academy.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, those schools of thought caused chaos in the world just by virtue of their talents and learning.

Zhao Dongting smiled, "That's fine, if there is no disturbance in the world, I'm afraid it will be very slim if I want to win against the Yuan Dynasty."

He is not afraid of chaos, but the world is not chaotic. The Yuan Dynasty wholeheartedly dealt with the Southern Song Dynasty, but the Southern Song Dynasty was difficult to parry.

The birth of these people from Guigu Academy might not bring about a turn for the better in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Zhang Shijie was stunned, his eyes were slightly bright, and he bowed and said: "The emperor is holy."

Zhao Dongting was already used to his flattery, he just smiled and walked to the bedroom.

The pear blossoms were in full bloom, and Qin Han refused to be an official. These two things put him in a good mood.Qin Han did not hold military power, no matter how talented he was, he could hardly pose any threat to the Southern Song Dynasty.

Zhao Dongting felt that he might be worrying too much, but what happened to Murongchuan made him have to pay more attention.

He never wanted something similar to Xiulin Castle to happen again, thinking about the plaque of the Dayi Sect, Zhao Dongting still felt his face was hot, he was really blind back then.

Back in the bedroom, he climbed up to the roof and practiced sword intent.

After half an hour, he practiced swordsmanship under the pear tree in the courtyard again, still using the old method.

The pear blossoms are falling like falling snow.

Although Zhao Dongting has improved slightly in the past two days, the accuracy of the stabbing sword is still unsightly.

Le Wu kept smiling beside her.

After practicing the sword, eating, and taking a short rest, Yinger gave him a massage, and then went to Yunjin's yard to read cheat books and military books.

The book of war was borrowed from Qin Han, and that guy's book of war is too numerous to count.

In this way, at night, Zhao Dongting had to go to Concubine Yang Shu's bedroom to pay her respects, and after returning, she had to practice housework and internal skills.

He has been very fulfilled all day long, and fortunately he was also very diligent in running a media company in his previous life, otherwise, he would have suffered so much.

After nine o'clock, the sky was already extremely dark.

Zhao Dongting asked the eunuchs to invite Su Liuyi, Lu Xiufu, Zhang Shijie, Xiang Dongyang, Su Quandang, Liu Hongyi, Wan Yanzhang, Yue Peng and other humerus ministers and generals to the bedroom.

As soon as everyone arrived and saluted, Zhao Dongting asked Lu Xiufu, "Master Lu, how is our army's stockpile of food and grass?"

Lu Xiufu bowed and said, "Reporting to the emperor, although the folks have just harvested, the land distribution system has only just been implemented. We haven't bought much grain and grass from the common people, and the grain and grass in the warehouse are not very abundant right now."

Zhao Dongting frowned slightly, "Then when can we raise food again?"

Lu Xiufu said: "We have to wait until around mid-July, when the people have a harvest, before we can raise food and grass."

As he spoke, he came to his senses, "Your Majesty, are you planning to go out?"

Zhao Dongting nodded, "I plan to choose a day to send my army to the north to assist Wen Jun's military order and capture Guangxi."

Rao Liu Hongyi and the others were mentally prepared long before the Chinese New Year, and they were still a little surprised to hear what Zhao Dongting said at this time. They didn't expect Zhao Dongting to be so anxious.

Liu Hongyi hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, our army has just fought against the pirates and the Yuan army. Should we rest for a while before sending troops to Guangxi?"

Judging from the battle reports from Guangxi, Wen Tianxiang can still block Ali Hague.

"Do not."

Zhao Dongting said, "Two months at the latest, we must send troops to Guangxi."

He glanced at the people in the room, "The Yuan army was defeated in Qiongzhou. I am worried that they will only send more troops to attack Guangxi. We can only gain a foothold in Guangxi if we completely wipe out Ali Haiya before they do. Leizhou will be safe."

"This……"

Liu Hongyi and the others changed color slightly.

Zhao Dongting looked at Lu Xiufu and said, "Is there a way to raise food and grass within two months?"

Lu Xiufu pondered: "If you want to raise food, I'm afraid you can only buy it from those nobles and powerful hands."

"it is good!"

Zhao Dongting said decisively: "Then buy it from them."

Lu Xiufu bowed to accept the order, and the corners of Chen Jianghan's eyes were twitching again. Since arriving in Leizhou, the imperial court has squandered a lot of money.
