Guide to traveling through the Northern Song Dynasty

Regarding Xu Churen's appointment, these Song ministers all saw hope and stretched their necks to wait for Marshal Zhu's arrangements.

Zhu Ming glanced at everyone, and then said: "Li Ruoshui, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Zhao Song Dynasty, assisted Shi Yuangong in cleaning up the provincial headquarters and temples."

Li Ruoshui did not thank him immediately, but asked: "I wonder what the marshal's instructions are?"

Zhu Ming said: "In the provincial ministries and temples of the Zhao and Song dynasties, each yamen retained two or three officials, waiting for Zhu Jinglue from Hanzhong to come to Kaifeng to take over. The rest of the officials were all resigned from their posts. You and Shi Yuangong should also recommend the talents of each yamen. Have some."

This power is so powerful, it controls the future of countless old ministers, and all the surrendered ministers are extremely envious of Li Ruoshui.

Li Bangyan began to panic and recommended talented people among his old ministers. Shouldn't he do this himself?

Ju Ming smiled and said, "If you have talented people, you can recommend them."

Li Bangyan was relieved and said immediately: "Qin Hui, the Minister of War, is worthy of reuse!"

Li Bangyan is playing tricks. He knows that Qin Hui and Ju Ming are the same year, and they had friendship when they were in Tokyo. Therefore, Qin Hui was most likely to be re-employed, but he made the recommendation in advance, which not only complied with Ju Ming's employment arrangements, but also demonstrated his "influence" to the outside world.

Zhu Ming couldn't help but look at Qin Hui, with the same expression as when he looked at Zhao Gou.

Before traveling to the Kingdom of Jin, Qin Hui was not only not a treacherous minister, but also had a reputation for being strong-willed and virtuous.

Not to mention punishing this person for no reason, even if he is not reused, it would not be justified. After all, they were "friends" before.

Friends of the same year who have good official reputations are not given jobs. What does this make an ambitious and demoted person think?

After Zhu Ming thought carefully, he said: "Qin Hui took over the Xicheng Institute and returned all the land plundered by Xicheng to the people of all walks of life. When the matter is settled, Xicheng Institute will be abolished. Qin Hui will have other important uses."

A smile appeared on Li Bangyan's face. Marshal Zhu really took care of his old friend and gave him a lucrative job as soon as he came on.

Qin Hui did not doubt that he was there and immediately came out to express his gratitude.

In fact, this is a trap. The richer the money, the higher the chance of making mistakes.

Once Qin Hui can't stand the temptation and uses his hands to enrich his own pockets, Ju Ming can immediately punish him severely. Not only can he take the opportunity to deal with Qin Hui, but he can also show his determination to fight corruption. After all, he will not even cover up the corruption of his "old friends".

If Qin Hui is smart and doesn't make money at this time, there will always be some unclean officials under him. All crimes will be recorded first, and then Qin Hui will be convicted according to the circumstances after cultivating his party members.

If you want to do something, you must have a team. When Qin Hui was ordered to take over the Xicheng Office, he would inevitably bring his old friends and subordinates to the post. These people will be his political base in the future. Faced with abundant financial resources and in the chaotic period of transition between old and new dynasties, can these people really resist being greedy?

"Yellow Turtle Year!" Ju Ming shouted.

Huang Yaoshi walked out of the queue and said, "I'm here."

Zhu Ming said: "You select some officials from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice to work and thoroughly investigate the misdeeds of Zhao Songxun's noble ministers. If there are any criminals who have committed crimes, report them all after verification!"

"Yes!" Huang Guinian accepted the order.

Each of these appointments is more scary than the last.

Bai Shizhong, Zhao Ye and others were not only glad that they had not offended Huang Guinian, but also worried that they would be severely investigated and punished by Huang Guinian.

"Tokyo has been conquered, Zhao and Song Dynasties have been destroyed, please invite Mr. Zhu Jinglue to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and Marshal Zhu Langjun to be the crown prince!" A voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone followed the voice and looked, but it was Wang Anzhong, the former prefect of Yanshan.

Wang Anzhong was a student of Su Shi. He followed Liang Shicheng, Tong Guan, and Cai You to the throne. He also wrote eulogies to win the favor of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, and went to Yanjing as the prefect as deputy prime minister. He and Guo Yaoshi had a complete quarrel. When faced with the threat of condemnation from the Jin people, he killed the surrendered generals of the Liao Kingdom who had betrayed the Jin Kingdom without informing the court, offending all the surrendered generals including Guo Yaoshi.

Wang Anzhong was frightened to death when he heard that Yaoshi Guo had taken refuge with Ju Ming. He felt that sooner or later he would be retaliated by Medical Master Guo, so he hurriedly jumped out to persuade him to join. He couldn't even wait for Zhu Guoxiang to come to Kaifeng.

Someone actually persuaded me to come in?

Bai Shizhong suddenly became anxious. It was him who should raise this matter!

Bai Shizhong was the auspicious king of the Song Dynasty. He had donated hundreds of thousands of auspicious items, and even built a garden to store auspicious animals and plants. He was able to achieve great success purely by relying on auspicious items.

"Marshal Langjun is so handsome," Bai Shizhong came out of the queue and knelt down. "Last night at midnight, a strange man came into his dream and said that there was a saint coming from the west. I woke up with a sweat. When I climbed up and looked, I saw that there was a purple aura in the west. A red cloud came from the west. It came and floated over the rebel camp in the south of the city for a long time..."

Li Gang was too embarrassed to speak at first, but now he was furious and interrupted directly: "Generalissimo, this fellow confuses Zhao Song with his evil words, and now he also wants to confuse the new dynasty. Please don't believe his auspicious words, Marshal, he will give tribute to the coward Zhao Ji With thousands of auspicious blessings, all the country and country of Zhao and Song Dynasty were sacrificed!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone turned their attention.

Although we all know that what we are saying is true, the topic is too sensitive.

When the Zhu family and his son established a new dynasty, they really needed someone to offer auspiciousness. Li Gang stood up to object. He was just asking for trouble. He only did this when his brain was in trouble.

It can only be said that Li Gang at this time has not yet gone dark and retains his own bottom line as a person. He is not as unscrupulous as he was after his journey to the south.

Of course, it is also possible that the character is being created, which is from the perspective of conspiracy theories.

With a smile on his face, Ju Ming asked Huang Shang: "Mr. Huang has read the Taoist scriptures thoroughly and must have studied auspiciousness quite a lot. What is the solution to the red clouds and purple qi?"

Faced with this proposition, Huang Shang said ambiguously: "I am only responsible for compiling Taoist scriptures, and I have no research on the theory of prophecy and auspiciousness. Zhuzi Qi is the Qi of the Emperor, and red clouds are also auspicious clouds. I slept peacefully at home last night and did not get up. I watched the sky at night, so I missed this wonderful sight."

Ju Ming said: "You are responsible for handling the monks and Taoists in the capital. Only three Taoist temples and three temples are allowed to be preserved in the city, and each county outside the city can only have two temples each. Regardless of whether it is a temple or a Taoist temple, the land property must not exceed Five hundred acres, and the excess must be handed over to the local government! In addition, the ultimatums will be strictly checked, and all monks who have not received ultimatums will be ordered to return to secular life!"

"As you command!"

Huang Shang also received the errand, and then asked: "Will the property of the banned temple be confiscated?"

Ju Ming said: "The property will be confiscated and handed over to the government."

There are temples everywhere in Tokyo, and Huang Shang is very busy.

Temples like Daxiangguo Temple will definitely not be banned and have become large-scale comprehensive commercial and entertainment venues. Burning incense and worshiping Buddha is not only a place for leisure, entertainment and shopping for Tokyo residents, but also one of the top taxpayers in the city.

Even if there is an investigation, it is to investigate tax evasion!

Ju Ming also said: "All Zisun Temples were banned and turned into Shifang Jungle."

Zisun temples are private temples, and the abbot is hereditary, either passed down to parents, children, grandchildren, or disciples, and many of them do not pay taxes to the government.

Shifang Jungle belongs to the public temple, and the abbot is appointed by the official. When the abbot of a large temple takes office, he even needs the emperor's signature and seal. Legally speaking, he must pay taxes to the government.

After handling the religious affairs, Ju Ming suddenly said: "Li Bangyan!"

"I'm here." Li Bangyan responded quickly.

Ju Ming said: "There are many pitiful people in the Jiaofang Department. If there are women who are willing to be good, they are allowed to leave freely. Those who have no support in life will be incorporated into the military art soldiers to entertain the soldiers. Then put up a notice to tell all the brothel prostitutes in the city If there are men and women who are willing to do good deeds in the tavern or Goulan tiled houses, the owner of the shop cannot stop him in any way, and those who violate the rules will be treated as if they were detained as strangers!"

Li Bangyan asked: "If there is a deed of betrayal, won't you stop me?"

Ju Ming looked unhappy and asked, "Would you like me to help you review "Song Xingtong"?"

"I obey," Li Bangyan said hurriedly.

Tokyo was the largest human trafficking market in the Northern Song Dynasty, and this must be severely rectified.

First of all, we need to raise the entry threshold for human resources agencies and ban those messy small dental shops. This will make it easier for the government to collect taxes, and secondly, if something goes wrong, the person responsible can be quickly identified.

Secondly, crack down on human trafficking, especially abduction, coercion, kidnapping, etc.

Third, the slave contracts of the Northern Song Dynasty already stipulated a certain number of years, but the execution was basically not based on the number of years. This required a group of employers to be dealt with severely.

There is now a large amount of abandoned land in Kaifeng Mansion and Beijing North Road, and there are countless refugees waiting for resettlement.

Those refugees with more men than women must free their maids as much as possible and arrange for men and women to form families.

Of course, many maids would rather be slaves than marry refugees and live a hard life. This is entirely up to their own volition. At least those who are willing to leave should be allowed to start a new self-sufficient life in the countryside.

In troubled times, women are the most miserable. This is true for the common people and similar for the nobles.

Although "Jingkang Baishi Jianzheng" is an unofficial history, the research is extremely detailed. The description of the same incident contains not only the information of the people of the Song Dynasty, but also the information of the people of the Jin Dynasty. Even if there are conflicts, they are listed so that readers can judge for themselves.

And there are a lot of details that belong to the author's personal experience.

Among them, the whole chapter about the contract of betrayal makes people feel most angry and sighing.

In order to compensate for the military expenses of the Jin Kingdom, all the women in Tokyo had to sell themselves to pay the price. Princesses and concubines can get one thousand gold ingots, clan daughters can get five hundred gold ingots, clan concubines can get two hundred gold ingots, clan wives can get five hundred silver ingots, clan wives can get two hundred silver ingots, and women from good families can get one hundred silver ingots. .

Concubines, concubines, princesses, concubines, eldest daughters, palace maids, maidens, clan wives, official daughters, singing girls...not even counting the folk women, about 7,000 of them were used to compensate for military expenses, which amounted to a total of six gold One hundred thousand ingots are equivalent to 2.5 million ingots of silver.

It was because of this wild history that Ju Ming tried to improve the woman's situation as soon as he entered the city.

Those palace ladies who escaped home will not be traced.

Even those who stayed in the palace were encouraged to make a living on their own and to start families with unmarried soldiers.

Ju Ming suddenly looked at He Su: "Wen Zhen, I am very disappointed in you."

He Su had no choice but to go out. He knew what Ju Ming meant.

When he overthrew Wang Fu, He Su still had his original intention and everything was for the sake of the country and the people.

But after Zhao Huan ascended the throne, He Su gradually became involved in political struggles, forgetting his original intention in order to fight for power and gain.

Ju Ming said: "You go to Shandong and be the magistrate. If you can manage the place and appease the people, you can be promoted back. If something goes wrong, don't come back to see me."

"yes!"

He Su lowered his head in shame and was too embarrassed to face Ju Ming directly.

At the beginning of the imperial examination, He Su was the number one scholar and Zhu Ming was the top scorer. The two drank and chatted, and agreed to eliminate the evil atmosphere and rebuild the world, but now they meet again like this.
