Chapter 167 The dust has settled

I asked Xue Juzheng that the court had been discussing this matter for several days, and I have not discussed the specific rewards and punishments for him so far. Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Pu, Fan Wangwei were all trying his best to help him speak. Zhao Guangyi even said something that was not only true but also made great contributions. However, this is not mainstream. At present, most people are more praised for the statement that they have successfully defeated each other and have made graces outside the law.

Because he copied a policy theory from Su Shi, the entire scholars are now in full swing. You should know that Su Shi's level is among the best in the entire 5,000 years of China. In a cultural desert like the early Song Dynasty, the policy theory is simply a masterpiece, especially in conjunction with the feat of Sun Yue's sacrifice of his life for righteousness. It is no exaggeration to say that Sun Yue is now an idol of most scholars. Even if he really dies, he can be famous in history with this policy theory.

Of course, although the matter has not been finalized, even the three-year-old child now knows that Sun Yue will not die.

Although Zhao Kuangyin did not end in person in his case, the entire process of discussing etiquette can be said to be completely under his control. Those who are a little smart can see that Zhao Kuangyin is trying to protect him, so he did not suggest that Ming Zhengdian was punished in the court. In other words, his life must have been saved this time. With his fame and talent and age, as long as he can't die, he will just keep his eyes closed and wait for death, it is a foregone conclusion that the future prime minister will be the one who will be the prime minister.

Sun Yue was naturally moved by this. He didn't expect that Zhao Kuangyin was so interesting. Of course he could see clearly that this matter was the general trend that was the will of the people, but in fact it was Zhao Kuangyin's life-saving protection for him, otherwise he would not have created such a great momentum at all.

At this moment, Sun Yue led Xue Juzheng and walked around Langzhou several times, explaining the things in Langzhou clearly. During this period, Murong Yanzhao was doing the government affairs in Langzhou. Seeing that he had a clear handover, Xue Juzheng could not help but admire him repeatedly. Sun Yue also took advantage of the situation to get some friendship with this future boss.

Sun Yue also specially led Xue Juzheng to the Shimen area and said, "Sir Xue, these days, the people of Hunan and the people in Hunan have praised me for the birth of Buddhas from thousands of families, but I am ashamed. When I was in Yiyang, I ordered the massacre of civilians in Jiangbei. The innocent people who died at my hands were eight thousand or eight thousand. Whenever I think about this, I always find it difficult to sleep well and I can't stop it. I keep thinking about doing something to compensate the people in Hunan and the people."

Xue Juzheng said: "Child, you did it right. This is a war after all, the weapon of the soldier. If you don't kill those people, even Tanzhou will be in chaos. It will be difficult to suppress the rebellion at that time, and there will definitely be more people who die. This is not your fault. Don't blame yourself. Since you are in the Privy Council, such things cannot be avoided. As long as we have a clear conscience."

"But, I feel guilty. If I don't do anything, I will never be at peace in my life. Lord Xue, look, what is this? As he said that, Sun Yue took a small hoe and dug it up. After a while, a yellow block of soil was dug out."

"This is……"

"This is realgar mine. Look, from here to here, and there are more than a thousand miles of realgar mines. This is the largest realgar mine in the world! Unfortunately, such a good thing can't be exchanged for money to subsidize the lives of Langzhou people."

"Realia? Oh, I know, this thing can be used as realgar wine, but how much realgar is used in realgar wine? Is this thing valuable?"

"Mr. Xue doesn't know that although the most commonly used uses of this thing is realgar wine and arsenic, the current gunpowder also needs to be produced. Didn't my father build a research base in Kaifeng? My father believes that although gunpowder weapons are still only auxiliary to the battlefield, they will sooner or later become the key to the deciding situation. The manufacturing of gunpowder and other materials are relatively easy to purchase. Only realgar is too expensive and expensive. If my father can set up a branch here to specialize in the improvement and production of gunpowder, and when the development is successful in the future, it can be incorporated into the industry of the Military Commission like cement. It can also sell these realgars and improve the lives of the people of Langzhou. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? This is also the only compensation I can make to the people of Langzhou. Please, Lord Xue, please."

As he said that, Sun Yue bowed deeply to Xue Juzheng with a big gift.

Xue Juzheng quickly helped him up and said, "I can't do it, but I can't do it. Although my friend is not old, his words and deeds are ashamed. Don't worry, if Lord Lingzun wants to do something here, I will support it with all my strength."

"Thank you, sir."

Shimen Realgar is the largest and best-quality realgar mining area in the world. In his previous life, he knew this place when he read social news. It is said that this is also one of the five polluted areas in the world. Because the mineral development is too rough, there are cancer villages nearby dozens of miles away, and for a period of time, it has attracted much attention from people around the world.

Sun Yue accidentally discovered this and took this matter into consideration. Although this thing is arsenic if it evaporates, and it is particularly harmful to people if it is not good to play, but in the fifth generation with an average lifespan of only 40 years, is cancer really more terrible than poor?

Moreover, Sun Yue felt that if this mining area could strictly implement the safety management he set and all miners would wear hats, gloves and masks before working, cancer could actually be avoided.

Moreover, realgar is not only used as gunpowder. This thing can also be used as food preservatives, and sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid is also made of this thing, but Sun Yue doesn't know how to do it, and Sun Chunming probably doesn't know either.

But what does the research base do? Isn’t it just a research? As long as you are willing to spend money, Sun Yue believes that sooner or later this thing can be studied. In that day, the people of Langzhou can become the richest place in the Song Dynasty with this realgar mine.

By then, the guilt in my heart should be able to be relieved.

Accompanied by Xue Juzheng's way, Zhao Kuangyin's benevolence came. He recommended Zhou Baoquan as the General of the Right Qianniu Guard, and also saved punishments. He plundered Shengkou in Suohu-Nanxingying, sent envoys to his family, and released thousands of soldiers from Tanzhou Township to return to farming. All rebellions were not guilty. The soldiers exempted the tea tax and salt and iron tax of Hu-Nan that year, and collected the hearts of the people in Hunan.

In addition, Zhao Kuangyin also did something particularly interesting. He personally visited the Wucheng King Temple and watched the famous generals painted in the two temples. He used the reason why Bai Qi killed and surrendered, and asked someone to remove Bai Qi's portrait from the temple. From then on, Bai Qi was no longer among the famous generals.
