The first thousand two hundred and sixty-eight chapters the monster cultivated by the emperor
For Wang Mengzheng, nothing is more important than neutrality. If so, it is the official family... As a person outside the court and a wise man born in a businessman, he saw everything in front of him very clearly and was also heard of some rumors.
He is the jungle fox among merchants. Even while the three parties are fighting, he can easily wander among them and become another kind of force. After all, his business is blooming everywhere in the Song Dynasty, and the three parties cannot bypass him.
Wang Mengzheng has also become a special existence and is the best candidate for all parties to talk to, but it is inevitable that it will be exposed in front of him. It is impossible to completely bypass him in many things, so Wang Mengzheng's news is the most informative.
He had already discovered the capital conspiracy. At the beginning, he only received some news, but gradually more and more news continued to appear, especially the frequent entry and exit of the shopkeeper who represented the interests of the three parties in Zhaocai and Baobao Building also aroused his curiosity.
After asking more, although he didn't know the specific content of the conversation, he knew that the abnormal things that happened in the Song Dynasty recently only happened after the three of them gathered together.
There is something different, there will be monsters! Wang Mengzheng discovered the secret. Obviously, the three parties began to take action for the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty. This was to tease the relationship between the Liao Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, and the best way was to cause friction on the border.
Although Wang Mengzheng didn't know their methods, this did not prevent him from speculating. The main line of the matter was slowly peeled off by him, but the result was amazing. The Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty was inseparable from the merchants in the world!
The indescribable shock in his heart made Wang Meng tremble. This was the first time he had seen something that could threaten the imperial power of the Song Dynasty. This thing was implemented by the government itself, and the business-oriented policy...
Zhao Zhen looked at Wang Mengzheng strangely. Logically speaking, he should have surrendered at this time, but now he is going to report the report. I don’t know why, but I just saw that he had a problem and wanted to confirm who he was talking to.
The relationship between Zhao Zhen and his father-in-law was not harmonious, and of course it was not very distant. The biggest problem was that the three departments imposed a series of fines on Wang Mengzheng's Hengshun. The reason was very simple. Hengshun's business always had stores evaded taxes. Although it was not intentional, it was violated by the national law.
However, this little money is nothing to Wang Mengzheng, but he can't hold it in his face. He is the title of Minister of Revenue and is more or less an official...
Seeing Zhao Zhen’s face showing confusion, Wang Mengzheng bowed and said, “I have reported to the officials, I… I have discovered it occasionally. This… many things in ancient North Road, outside Shanhaiguan and on the border of Song and Liaoning are related to merchants!”
Zhao Zhen's pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes looking at Wang Mengzheng were also full of sharpness: "Where does the father-in-law know?"
Wang Mengzheng nervously said his speculation: "Qizhao official, everything happened after the three big shopkeepers discussed. Since they left Zhaocai and entered the treasure building, the border has been happening constantly, and all the interests are in it. The old minister dared to speculate..."
Zhao Zhen waved his hand and interrupted him. When there was no goal, Cai Boyi's report was uncertain. There was always a layer of fog before the final answer, but now Zhao Zhen suddenly put the answer in front, and everything made sense.
Now it is the Northern Expedition jointly promoted by the royal family, generals, the people, and the three merchant forces. No, at this time it should be said that capital was promoting the Northern Expedition!
How powerful is the power of capital? Zhao Zhen hadn't noticed it at the beginning, but when it gradually grew up, Zhao Zhen noticed its threat. This force that gradually rose and began to have an impact in the Song Dynasty has gradually shaken the Song Dynasty's economy.
But Zhao Zhen did not expect that their growth was so rapid that before he could react, he had already begun to influence politics!
"The father-in-law continues, I will listen carefully!"
Wang Mengzheng did not expect that his words were taken so seriously by Zhao Zhen, and he felt more and more at ease. He took out the memorial that had been prepared long ago and said: "Please look at the official, this is the memorial written by the old minister based on what happened during this period..."
The memorial described Wang Mengzheng's own discovery in detail, and accompanied by some analysis and speculation. Although it is not necessarily a fact, it is quite close to the truth. Zhao Zhen carefully checked Wang Mengzheng's memorial, but he did not expect that his old Taishan could actually find suspicion from these clues. He is worthy of being an old fox wandering on the edge of various forces!
Zhao Zhen looked out of the hall blankly. The sky was so pure, like a huge screen. The plot under this sky was so similar to later generations. Capital had risen, and it was gradually growing and slowly changing the Song Dynasty.
Wang Meng was leaving. When he saw Zhao Zhen's dull expression, he "slid away" with oil. When he left, he signaled Sancai not to disturb Zhao Zhen......
With a long sigh, Zhao Zhen walked slowly out of Cuiwei Palace. Although he knew the answer, Zhao Zhen was not feeling well. On the contrary, his indescribable emotion arose in his heart. Capital, this monster he created himself finally appeared...
After getting this answer, Zhao Zhen was a little unbelievable for a moment. He walked slowly in the back garden. He needed to think about everything that happened. Perhaps for capital, the current Song Dynasty is the best soil for growth. The commerce policy he implemented greatly promoted the development of capitalism to a certain extent, but at the same time he also forgot the nature of capital!
No matter what era, as long as the emergence of capital will affect the world. The current capital of the Song Dynasty has begun to affect the progress and direction of a country's war. What is the difference between this and the influence of politics in later generations of chaebols?
If you watch the growth of this kind of capital, it will inevitably affect the court of the Song Dynasty in the near future. This is also the consequence of raising the status of merchants too much.
To control all this, it is necessary to eliminate the possibility of capital interference, but this is also a false proposition. At present, how can capital continue to grow easily?
It can actually provoke friction on the border between Song and Liao, prompting the Song Dynasty to take action against Liaodong in advance. Isn’t this a problem?
Capital has no emotions and will only consider its own interests. It will not care about how many people will die once the war begins, nor will it care about how much money it invests. It will only consider what kind of benefits it will bring to itself after this war!
Although this year is a warm winter and the weather has gradually warmed up since January, Zhao Zhen still shivered under the pale sunlight. He knew too much how terrible it would become when capital is out of control.
It can be said that behind the two long-lasting and stunning wars that happened in later generations, there are capital figures!
