The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 110
It took less than a quarter of an hour for the messenger to enter Bianjing.

Liang Xin gave the order directly.

The bodyguards quickly mobilized a thousand soldiers and horses, and together with the people from the tax camp under the Imperial City Division who had not gone to Hezhong Prefecture, they raided two restaurants, five cloth shops, fifteen scripture shops, and several grocery stores in Bianjing City. There are several officials' homes.

At the end of the day, Liang Xin came to Zhao Ji's study, and the young eunuch behind him brought in many things.

After the young eunuch left, Liang Xin stepped forward: "There is such a thing. I just temporarily borrowed 1000 bodyguards. The matter is urgent and I am afraid that these evil people will destroy the things, so..."

Before Liang Xin finished speaking, Zhao Ji had already noticed what was being carried in.

Zhao Ji appraised it very carefully: "The paper comes from Wenzhou. Why is the quality of this paper better than that of the palace? And this, the Tiantai Jade Edition, where did you find so much good paper?"

Liang Xin opened one of the boxes.

Zhao Ji's eyes lit up instantly: "This is Xie's official note, it is of such high quality."

Liang Xin said nothing and opened another box.

Zhao Ji was extremely happy: "Chengxintang."

In the end, Liang Xin opened a pack of Puzhou white paper: "Over there, several officials secretly took off these papers, then transported them to Bianjing and sold them secretly, and sent the second-class paper to the palace as tribute. . Because the late emperor didn’t use paper very much, so no one took care of it. They told them that there were many people doing this kind of business in Bianjing, so I sent people to investigate.”

Zhao Ji understood what he heard: "You mean, they withheld the paper they wanted to give me and sold it. The poor ones were sent as tribute?"

"That's what I mean." Liang Xin pulled out several confessions from her sleeves.

Zhao Ji became angry on the spot: "So hateful, so hateful..."

Liang Xin said calmly: "How about writing an edict and detaining a group of prisoners and handing them over to Dali Temple for trial?"

Zhao Ji was so angry that he didn't say a word.

Liang Xin then said: "Search their homes, use their property, pick a suitable place, and build a paper mill that you personally pay attention to. I think it will be placed in Dongming County (Lankao) not far from Bianjing. Let's Make better paper.”

"It's better for you." Zhao Ji became angry now.

As an emperor, what Zhao Ji hates most is that some people don't take him seriously as an emperor.

The best things in the world were not given to him as the emperor, and he was fooled by inferior products.

Liang Xin: "Then I will send the people from the front office of the [-]th Palace to take a look, and then pick a suitable place and leave them to guard it to make the best paper for you."

"Do it, do it well." Zhao Ji expressed his support.

At least, he never thought about why Liang Xin, a mere inspector of Zhaowen Hall, could transfer the troops of the front department.

If Zhao Ji asked, Liang Xin would only say, I am just using your official name to do things for you.

Paper mill.

Liang Xin also wanted to try something.

Decades ago, merchants in Shu began to use Jiaozi. In the Xining year, the Song Dynasty court began to prepare books for Jiaozi, forging Jiaozi and beheading him.

But over the years, Jiaozi has become more and more out of control. First, the publisher was in trouble or bankrupt and could not cash in.Later, due to over-issuance for military supplies, Jiaozi began to depreciate seriously, and the people lost trust in this thing.

If we want this thing to work again, we need to work on it from the ground up.

It's credit.

This matter is not urgent. Liang Xin is just planning to set up a paper mill first, starting with improving the quality of the paper.

After coming out of the palace, Liang Xin returned home.

The iron catcher is waiting at home.

Wang Youzhong is not in Bianjing, Lu Wencong is not in Bianjing, and Tie Captou is the third person in the tax camp.

Then, there is another person sitting on the fourth chair, which is empty.

Leave it to the Shang Gong Bureau in the palace.The rest, rowed down, are the eunuchs in the palace.The Imperial City Department and the bodyguards and soldiers.A series of experienced head catchers, miscellaneous students and craftsmen.Monk Palace Bureau.

The eunuchs and the imperial army each accounted for [-]%, the Iron Captou group accounted for [-]%, and the Shanggong Bureau accounted for [-]%.

"Lord!"

This time, Lord, it was Captain Tie who noticed Liang Zhong shouting this after careful observation. He thought about it and also shouted this.

"Sit down." Liang Xin returned a half salute, then pointed to the food and wine on the table and said, "You have been busy all day. This is home, so eat something first. To say that what happened today was an accident. I originally The idea is to start with the cloth shop and silk brocade shop. We are our own people, and I won’t hide it from you. I want to reorganize Shiyi Company, not like before, but brand new."

The iron catcher's name is Iron Man.

He is a chivalrous knight.

He was also a member of the Jianghu community back then, but later due to some changes, he became a member of the public family.

After listening to Liang Xin's words, Tie Xia said: "I'm not very literate, that is, I can only understand official documents, but I don't understand the general principles. The Lord treats us as human beings, and we can do whatever the Lord orders us to do."

Liang Xin nodded: "Well, since you said so, let's go and give the reward. Continue to collect evidence about the big players in Buzhuang who monopolize the market and bully small merchants. This thing is of no use in the court. The key is, Because their monopoly allowed the court to collect less taxes.”

"Yes."

"Also, regarding the rumors about those [-] pieces of armor, continue to investigate. Be careful and don't alert the enemy."

"Yes." Tie Xia agreed again.

It is true that he claims not to have read much. He is also middle-aged, has heard a lot, and has seen a lot. He naturally understands that Liang Xin’s goal this time is the clan, and what he wants to do is probably bigger than what Shenzong did 20 years ago. More people will be implicated.

Therefore, Tie Xia doesn’t ask too many questions and doesn’t say too much.

If you have any instructions, just go and do it yourself.

Liang Xin chatted with Tie Xia for a while, just talking about their feelings and not saying anything important.

After Tie Xia finished the food and wine on his table, he said goodbye and left.

Liang Xin stood up to see him off, but Tie Xia blocked him: "My Lord, you cannot see him off."

"My family..." Before Liang Xin could finish speaking, Tie Xia said again: "My lord, please don't give it away, and the gift must not be wasted." After saying that, Tie Xia left on his own.

Iron Man is very concerned about this matter.

Etiquette is not etiquette, but rules.

In the Song Dynasty, catching a police officer was a profession with no threshold. It had a low status and belonged to the civil service, not even an official. It could only be called a public servant, a temporary staff member, and there were also non-staff members in the yamen.

Once you enter this industry, you will ruin the future of three generations of your grandparents.

According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, for someone like Tie Xia, even if he is no longer a head catcher, his descendants will only be eligible to participate in the imperial examination three generations later. It is better for him to be a head catcher. Many people who have been a head catcher for more than ten years, I only receive ten dollars of labor and food silver every year.It is simply not enough to support the family, so we have to rely on extra income to be able to support our family.

Therefore, it cannot be said that there are no good people in the profession of police officers.All I can say is that it’s not easy to be a good person.

Why are so many detectives willing to invest in Liang Xin?

　New books are on the shelves.

　　No Sanjiang, no forced recommendation.

　　Encountered the lowest first order in history.

　　But so what?

　　Just write, at least you can write smoothly and happily.

　　For this dismal first order, add five updates.
