Chapter 481 Da Zhou's Trash Can
Since the twelfth lunar month last year, all officials were dismissed and some people resigned one after another. By this spring, even worse news came. Shao Chong, former Hanlin attendant scholar, Tao Gu, Tao Gu, and the great scholar Wang Zhen, Long Lingxing, etc., a total of more than a dozen people left the Great Zhou and entered Jiangnan. Among them, Shao Chong and Tao Gu have become celebrities in front of Li Hongji, and have been appointed as attendant scholars and priests of the Imperial College, and have also been promoted!
When the news reached Kaifeng, the Political Affairs Hall was shocked, and all the ministers gathered together to discuss the matter.
"The two former imperial officials ordered the officials to escape, but there was no news in advance. If it weren't for the detailed announcements placed in Jiangnan, we would still be in the dark. What were these local officials doing? Are they eating plain rice?" Wei Renpu cursed. His foot injury was healed. He paced back and forth on the ground and said angrily: "Official Fan Tian, is your Ministry of Personnel managing all the officials like this?"
Fan Zhi rolled his eyelids and said angrily: "Our Ministry of Personnel only cares about the current officials. Shao Chong and Tao Gu were dismissed from their official positions in the twelfth month of last year. After leaving Beijing, they did not return to their hometowns at all. Instead, they disguised themselves as they were in the middle of the caravan, crossed the Yangtze River, and went to Jinling to join the Southern Tang Dynasty. How could our Ministry of Personnel be responsible for this matter?"
Wei Renpu didn't care about these things. "When repatriating all officials, we should send embroidered envoys to escort them to ensure that the officials return to their hometowns, and then go to Beijing to report back! It's better to just leave embroidered envoys and take care of them in the village, so that they can be foolproof!"
"You might as well lock up all the officials!" Li Gu interrupted, "Now the place is in Qingzhangtianmu, Youzhou is guarding against the Khitan. There are so many things in the capital, embroidered clothes envoys, embroidered clothes envoys! How many embroidered clothes envoys in my Great Zhou Dynasty? Could it be that they will rely on them to govern the country in the future?"
The quarrels in the Political Affairs Hall are getting louder and louder, and can be heard outside.
Ye Hua hugged his shoulders and simply stopped and let these old guys quarrel!
With their talents, such as monitoring retired officials, strictly controlling borders, urging localities to prevent escape... these methods can be imagined.
But it is difficult to completely stop people from fleeing south.
After all, the Central Plains and Jiangnan are originally a country with dense exchanges, broken bones and tendons. If you want to go there, there are ways to stop them.
In fact, in Ye Hua's idea, I really hope that some people would just go to Jiangnan to forget about it. Just like those deposed officials, most of them have no death sentences and cannot behead their heads casually. Moreover, there are many of them who are well-educated and have high prestige.
Although they had cleared the land and gentry paid food together, they had no privileges, but their reputation among the people was still there. Let them talk nonsense everywhere, spread news that was unfavorable to the court, and obstructed the reform. It would be better to give the green light and send them all to Jiangnan to harm Li Hongji!
Ye Hua never believed that the so-called scholars represent progress and what people want.
Over the years, Li Hongji has picked up all the garbage that the Great Zhou doesn’t want, and it has become a trash can!
For example, when the Great Zhou Dynasty abolished the Kong family lineage, Li Hongji immediately supported the Kong family's southern clan and also repaired the Confucius Temple in Jinling, allowing officials to sacrifice for the whole season, and the incense was endless.
For example, when the Great Zhou Dynasty destroyed Buddhism, Li Hongji accepted high monks and built luxury temples in Jiangnan, invited high monks to the altar, preaching daily, and the grand occasion was unprecedented.
Besides, the Great Zhou attacked the aristocratic families and rectified civil servants, but the Southern Tang accepted scholars and regarded them as treasures.
In order to compete with the Great Zhou, Li Hongji really tried his best to fight against the Great Zhou everywhere and did not miss any opportunity. Ye Hua was open-minded. You are willing to be the ones who receive garbage. What's the fear of me? I want to send more. Whether it is the Kong family, the monks or the aristocratic families, they are not good men and women. They all want to eat and drink and raise them, but it is a waste of money.
It depends on how much wealth Jiangnan has, and how can he fill this bottomless pit!
Of course, everyone can't let everyone go.
For example, some officials from the Privy Council and the Three Divisions knew the details of the Great Zhou and the power of the Great Zhou. Once they went to the Southern Tang Dynasty, they would definitely help Li Hongji.
We must tell the embroiderer to pay attention to those who are really harmful. If these people have any abnormal movements, they would rather kill them than let them go. As for other idle officials, great scholars from all over the country, they would leave if they are willing.
After they all left, the Great Zhou was clean!
Overall, it has no harm except that it will affect the image, and it is even like taking a sauna and sweating to detoxify.
"Ye Qing, I can't do it if you can spit your face!"
Chai Rong asked the eunuch to call Ye Hua and scold him when he met.
"Do you know? How did those slander thieves go to Jiangnan? The dirty words are simply unpleasant! Any scholar is simply a literary thief, even a hooligan!"
Chai Rong was so angry that his facial features moved, and said angrily: "Li Hongji is still a little talented. He recruited so many people over, at least the momentum is built, and the people in the south are all in his heart. My Great Zhou still needs to stabilize the rear and implement reforms, and he is temporarily unable to move south. If he takes advantage of this east wind to swallow the entire South and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it will really form a confrontation between the Southern and Northern Dynasties, which is very unfavorable to our Great Zhou! I will never sit idly by! If necessary, I will lead the army to personally let Li Hongji children know how powerful I am!"
Li Si once said similar concerns.
Ye Hua smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, don't worry, now all the people in the past are irrelevant people, and even if they leave, it will be good for me, Dazhou."
Ye Hua lowered his voice, "Your Majesty, do you want to do this? Let's select some people and pretend to join Li Hongji... When they arrive in Jiangnan, they will be responsible for spreading false news, misleading the monarch and ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and letting them misjudgment the strength of the Great Zhou?"
Chai Rong's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "This method is good!" The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible. The scholar fled south and would undoubtedly reveal the details of the Great Zhou.
But if you take the initiative to send some people to spread news that is unfavorable to the Great Zhou, it would be better to say that the Great Zhou is going to be over every day and collapse immediately. You should try your best to fool Li Hongji. Once he makes a wrong judgment and makes a wrong decision, it will be very beneficial to the Great Zhou!
Ye Hua is so smart that he can think of any trick!
Chai Rong immediately issued an order to the embroiderer's embroiderer, asking them to secretly select a few literati with good reputations to go to Jiangnan immediately to carry out this glorious and arduous task!
After arranging the person, Chai Rong was not satisfied and asked again: "Ye Qing, do you have any good solutions? I want to see the result immediately and make Li Hongji heartbroken!"
Ye Hua smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Fu Yaozi went to Jiangnan a while ago."
"oh!"
Chai Rong took a deep breath, "Why did the old fairy go to Jiangnan?"
"Make my son angry!"
Ye Hua shrugged. To be honest, it is really terrible to be bad!
Since Chen Shi's kid got his teeth, he has had seventeen wives and concubines at home, which is so lively! Chen Tuan initially thought it was a good thing to spread the branches and pass on the family line.
But being addicted to women all day is not a solution.
What's more, the hero Ba Jiu's wife, you got seventeen bedrooms, what's this?
Besides, three women can play one drama, the Chen family can set up six stages!
Chen Tuan couldn't stand it anymore. He grabbed Chen Shi's ear and gave him a lesson. But he didn't know that Chen Shi's boy was determined to be dead. After a few days, he actually bought two more Japanese girls back.
Chen Tuan asked angrily, but Chen Shi still had a lot of truth.
During the Tang Dynasty, the use of "Kunlun slaves and Gaoli maids" was emphasized. Anyone who is a high-ranking official and noble family would be laughed at if there are no foreign slaves in the family. Generally speaking, the more slaves, the richer they are, the more face they are!
After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, this trend gradually disappeared, and the Japanese girl was replaced!
In recent years, Japanese girls have traveled across the ocean and traveled to the Central Plains to borrow seeds. Some businessmen smelled business opportunities and organized fleets to go to Japan to do business, and buy maids.
The most attentive thing to make the population is Taifu Chai Shouli.
He organized hundreds of merchant ships in Dengzhou, specifically to travel between Japan and Dazhou. Once more, he could get back hundreds of Japanese girls!
"Dad, I did this, but I killed three birds with one stone... First of all, I promoted the business of the Supreme Emperor, and secondly, our family has more Japanese girls, which can also be respectful. This is the third..." Chen Shi lowered his voice, "I heard from Huazi that mixed-race babies have advantages and will also have the advantages of their parents. Do you still don't want their descendants to be better?"
Chen Tuan gritted his teeth, "What are the advantages! What if I absorb the shortcomings of both parties? I am as lustful as you and look as short as a Japanese man, where do you put my old face?"
Chen Shi thought about it seriously and quickly gave a thumbs up, "Dad, your old worries are right. In order to allow the next generation of our Chen family to have better talents, I, I have to buy a few more Japanese girls!"
He turned his head and ran away.
Chen Tuan was left, staring at her eyes widened and cursed in anger, little bastard, can you have a bit of a normal mind? It’s all because of Ye Hua. If you don’t have anything to do, you will talk nonsense and harm people a lot!
Chen Tuan cursed for a while, shook his head and regretted it. When he didn't recognize him, he hoped that he would be filial to his son. If he accepted him, he would get angry. What's the point of doing!
The old Taoist felt that if he stayed in the mansion again, his decades of hard work would be turned into a flowing water.
So Chen Tuan simply went to Jiangnan without seeing her, and patted her butt.
Chen Tuan has this ability. No matter where he goes, he can be sought after by a lot of people. The more powerful he is, the more he admires Fu Yaozi's Yi Dao's cultivation, and treats him as a living god.
In such a huge world, Chen Tuan has only two people who can't stand it. One is Ye Hua, who doesn't believe in evil, and the other is Chen Shi, the uneasy son!
After leaving these two unlucky children away, Chen Tuan was so comfortable. He was in the south of the Yangtze River, lingering in the mountains and rivers, making friends with famous scholars, and being respected in various ways.
Especially he had a good relationship with Han Xizai, the Minister of War and the Scholar of the Qinzheng Palace, and became a good friend who could talk about everything.
"The fairy leader Fu Yaozi is really powerful. It's rare to be able to make friends with Han Xizai so quickly!" Chai Rong praised happily.
"Your Majesty, there is something more worthy of happiness!" Ye Hua said: "Han Xizai was in a difficult situation in the Southern Tang Dynasty because of his background. He once hoped that Li Hongji would be cruel and ruthless, killing his father and brother. No matter how broad-minded he is, he is definitely not a hero of a generation. Han Xizai and Li Hongji have gradually moved away and are in harmony with each other. According to the news sent by Chen Xianchang, Han Xizai intends to return to his roots!"
Han Xizai's ancestral home is Nanyang and later moved to Changli, Hebei. He and Han Yu are the same ancestors... Now Han Xizai is over fifty years old and Huafa is born early. When people get old, they want Ye Luo to return to their roots. Their desire to return home is getting stronger and stronger!
Chai Rong was overjoyed when he heard Ye Hua’s introduction!
Han Xizai separated from Li Gu decades ago, one went to Jiangnan and the other stayed in the Central Plains... Over the past few decades, all the changes in Jiangnan were contained in Han Xizai's belly. He is now the Minister of War and a Grand Secretary... If he could get this person, the situation in the Southern Tang Dynasty would be clear.
More importantly, Han Xizai is a versatile talent in civil and military affairs. He is definitely a familiar person to let him preside over the treatment of the countries in Jiangnan and is the best candidate!
"If I get Han Xizai, I will be better than millions of great scholars of aristocratic families!"
Chai Rong was actually dancing with excitement. He grabbed Ye Hua's arm and said sternly: "No matter what, you must bring Han Xizai over! Ye Qing, you are sure!"
Chapter completed!
