Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

"Junior Sister Xue!" Looking at the two stunning women in front of her, Song Qingyao suddenly let out a soft cry, with a hint of excitement in her voice.

In front of me was a girl in red with a charming expression, who else could it be if it wasn't Xue Susu? As for the other woman, she was as indifferent as a fairy, and it was Qin Yuzhen!

"Senior Sister Song, I still remember that the last time we met was in Sichuan! It's been many years in a flash! Back then, Senior Sister Song, you were always dressed in men's clothes, and you were very heroic. I never thought that Senior Sister Song would marry a man and live for others. Raise children." Xue Susu looked at Song Qingyao with surprise in her eyes.

"Why are you here? Also, who is this girl?" Song Qingyao looked at Qin Yuzhen, and she was also quite amazed at Qin Yuzhen's appearance, and said immediately.

"This one is Miss Qin Yuzhen of the Tianshan School. I wonder if the senior sister has heard of it?" Xue Susu said.

"Ah! I have admired your name for a long time!" Song Qingyao saluted and said.

"Please come in quickly, both of you." Zheyueru beside him said with a smile.

At that moment, Song Qingyao and Zheyueru invited Xue Susu and Qin Yuzhen in.

Although it's already early spring, it's still cold outside, Zheyueru asked someone to serve hot tea, the four girls sat and chatted together, of course it was the old couple Song Qingyao and Xue Susu who were talking, Zheyueru and Qin Yuzhen were listening .

"Susu, where have you been all these years? Why haven't you heard from me?" Song Qingyao took Xue Susu's hand and said.

"I have traveled around in the past few years, and then I met Sister Qin, and we went to many places! We have been to Zhongjing, Shangjing, Huanglong Mansion, Huining Mansion in the north, on the grasslands, and among countless mountains. Later, when we were in Huining Mansion, we met the emperor, he saved our lives, and then we followed him to Yanjing City! We heard that Senior Sister is here, so we came to find Senior Sister." Xue Susu laughed.

"Oh? He also saved your life, what's going on?" Song Qingyao asked curiously.

"Well... We were framed by gangsters, and then he broke in. You should ask the emperor about this matter yourself." Xue Susu said with a slightly red face.

Qin Yuzhen's fair face also had a tinge of red at this moment, and she also remembered what happened that day.

She grew up in the door, and the door is full of people who practice Taoism, and she also practiced Taoism, but she didn't understand why she enjoyed being with Zhao Chen. Sometimes at night, she would relive what happened that day. This thing made her feel very depressed.

"It seems that this matter must be very interesting." Song Qingyao looked at Xue Susu, then glanced at Qin Yuzhen next to her, and said with a coquettish smile.

"Anyway, we came back with the emperor, what do you think we should do." Xue Susu said.

"From now on in the palace, we sisters can often chat, we can also talk about martial arts, or read poems and paint, do you think it's okay?" Song Qingyao said.

"That's the best." Xue Susu said with a smile.

They were talking outside, at this time there were footsteps outside again, this time it was Zhao Chen who came back.

Zhao Chen reunited with Song Qingyao and Zheyueru after a long absence, and Zheyueru had just given birth to a daughter not long ago, needless to say the warmth in the room this night.

*** ***

In the early morning of the second day, the ministers of General Zhao Chen's aircraft department gathered to ask about the situation in various parts of the world in the past six months.

Li Gang, Wang Shu, Hu Quan, Wang Shipeng, Li Chuwen, Li Ruoshui, Qu Duan and others were all here, and Li Gang and others reported the situation in various places to Zhao Chen.

Overall, everything is in order everywhere.

Guanshan, Hanzhong, and Sichuan were the places where Zhao Chen started his business back then, and they are becoming more and more prosperous now. After all kinds of exorbitant taxes in the south of the Yangtze River were cancelled, signs of prosperity appeared in a short period of time! As for the Central Plains and Yanyun, they are now completely stable, and the economy is also continuing to grow.

"Your Majesty, the biggest problem at present is still the population! The population of the Central Plains and Yanyun is still too small! Most of the people are unwilling to leave their hometown!" Sitting next to Zhao Chen's left hand, Li Gang said.

"Your Majesty, can we forcibly order the people from all over the place to relocate?" Qu Duan asked.

"No!" Zhao Chen shook his head.

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in later generations, people were forcibly relocated. Many people were unwilling to leave their hometowns, so they were beaten and tortured, and they were dragged to other places! As a result, after arriving in other places, the living conditions were difficult, and many immigrants died!

"Forcible relocation is absolutely impossible! If the people are unwilling, doing so will only disgust the people. The court should not do such a thing! We still implement various preferential conditions in the Central Plains and Yanyun, reduce taxes, and provide financial support from the state. After a long time, people in Jiangnan, Sichuan, Guanshan and other places know the benefits of the Central Plains and Yanyun, so they will naturally go to these places! This is the safest way!" Li Gang also said.

"The teacher is right!" Zhao Chen nodded.

"Your Majesty, among the officials from various places, there is one who is the most outstanding." Wang Shu reported.

"I don't know who it is?" Zhao Chen said.

"It's Qin Hui from Henan, Master Qin! The land of Henan was invaded by the Jurchens, and the Yellow River flooded many times after that, and the place was really empty! After we regained Henan, the population of all parts of Henan was only 800,000! And Master Qin has arrived After Henan, in a short period of time, the population of Henan has increased to four million!" Wang Shu said.

"Oh, he is so powerful?" Zhao Chen was also surprised.

"That's right! From last year to this year, Lord Qin ordered the officials of the entire Henan Road to go to their hometowns to recruit people. Lord Qin himself also returned to Jiangnan to recruit people in Jiangnan! They moved the imperial court's policy, how much land each person can share, to According to different family conditions, the people were exempted from tax for three to five years and so on. He told the people that he went to visit one by one and begged the people from all over the country to go to Henan! Master Qin even took out his family’s belongings, bought cattle, and sent them to Henan. To the people! The people had no money to move, so he took out his own family’s money! Now the whole Jiangnan knows that Master Qin is recruiting people, as long as he goes to Henan, Master Qin will even ask the army to help build houses.” Wang Shu said.

"There is such a thing! He took out the money from his own family. This is really commendable! But the court can't spend his money in vain, let people record all the money he spent, and wait until the court has money in the future. Give it back to him again, and give it back to him double!" Zhao Chen thought for a while and said.

"Your Majesty, he also asked his son to set up a bank in Jiangnan to raise money from wealthy households in Jiangnan to relocate people and develop Henan," Wang Shu said.

"This man is really a talent." Zhao Chen nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, Qin Hui is indeed talented, and even the current military aircraft department has no one who can match him! It's just that this person is a villain. When he was in the north, he secretly took refuge in Jurchen. After returning to the south of the Yangtze River, he Even more, he became the prime minister of Jiangnan by any means, and under his promotion, Zhao Goucai joined forces with Jurchen! Later, after His Majesty killed Zhao Gou, this person immediately bowed down at His Majesty's feet without any shame! This person knew that His Majesty likes hard work, I hate empty talk, so I always try to please His Majesty! The old minister thinks that such a villain must never be used, and one must be careful!" Li Gang said.

"I use people on their merits! Now that the country is broken, we need such talents! In this way, we will test him for another half a year. If there is a good harvest in Henan this autumn, I will transfer him to the Military Aircraft Department and also serve as the Minister of Military Aircraft. .” Zhao Chen shook his head and said.

"However, Your Majesty, he is a villain after all! Zhuge Kongming once said, 'A virtuous minister, far from a villain, this is why the Han Dynasty prospered. The villain is absolutely useless!" Li Gang discouraged again.

"Although Zhuge Kongming is considered an outstanding man of his generation, his rule of the country is still the rule of man! In the era of rule of man, he can only be a virtuous minister far away from a villain! But my Great Song Dynasty will gradually change the rule of man into the rule of law. If the court uses his talents, if he has the ability The imperial court can't forgive him for breaking the law and discipline." Zhao Chen said.

"But..." Li Gang still wanted to dissuade.

"Needless to say! I think I can control such a villain, does the teacher think so?" Zhao Chen said.

Li Gang froze for a moment, then nodded.

"It's already February, and for a period of time to come, the most important thing for the imperial court is farming. There must be no mistakes in this matter! All the ministers of the court will come to the fields to help the people! After the farming is over, I will work with you Discuss the matter of the imperial examination." Zhao Chen said.
