Chapter 364 The Root of the Problem(2/2)

"Next time the meeting will be held, Song Yongchen and others will be ordered to attend the meeting..."

After thinking for a while, Zhao Xu continued: "Whether it's housekeeping in a store, housekeeping in various departments in Beijing, or field work!"

"I am here to express my attitude to all the ministers. Once a decision is made and a decision is made... it must be strictly implemented!"

"I will send the censor to supervise, and I will also ask the officials to report the relevant rectification progress regularly..."

These are royal matters.

Theoretically, it is difficult for the foreign court to intervene.

Zhao Xu's statement is tantamount to announcing that in the future, the Yushitai can supervise the royal family's industry, at least on the issue of intrusion and impeachment.

This is a huge encouragement to all civil servants and officials!

So, everyone was overjoyed and worshiped one after another: "Your Majesty, the Holy Ming!"

Zhao Xu smiled, looked at them, and continued to ask: "Are there any more?"

If you want to take it first, you must give it first.

Zhao Xu understands this truth.

Now, Zhao Xu himself has set an example and made a statement.

It was the turn of the scholar-officials to shoot and cut their flesh.

The ministers looked at each other, and Cai Jing, who had been standing in the palace, was about to move.

But when he raised his head, he saw Zhao Xu's eyes.

So, he immediately lowered his head.

In these days, especially when he came to the palace to send money, he was able to get close to the officials, so he could understand some of the hints in the officials' eyes.

Although you may not be sure sometimes.

However, at this time, I would rather guess wrong than make my own decision.

Zhao Xu looked at the ministers and asked calmly: "Is there no more?"

Fan Chunren looked at the young official sitting upright, and his conscience finally couldn't bear it. He stepped forward and worshiped: "Your Majesty, there is also..."

"Um?"

"There are six ministries in three provinces, as well as the imperial office in Beijing...and there are also many intruders!"

"Um?"

"In addition..." Fan Chunren plucked up his courage and said, "The sons and nephews of officials and officials who are making a living in the capital often invade the streets..."

This is normal!

In the Song Dynasty, relatives, nobles, emperors, imperial troops and ordinary people were all invading the streets. How could the scholar-bureaucrats not invade the streets?

It's like doing business.

There are 72 main stores in Bianjing City, as well as fruit shops, quality warehouses, night markets...

Of course, many of these money-making businesses are backed by relatives and nobles.

But are the scholar-bureaucrats just sages? Don’t they love wealth?

How can it be!

In a society like the Song Dynasty, it is true to focus on money!

After Wang Gui died, his son carried the coffin and returned to his hometown. The copper coins, gold, silver and treasures transported back to his hometown were enough to load seven or eight ships.

There is a modern saying that goes well.

When you find one cockroach in your home, there may be hundreds of them in your home.

So, here comes the problem: Wang Gui has already accumulated so much property.

What about the rest?

We can’t say that in our Song Dynasty, only Wang Gui is a corrupt official, and all the others are contemporary Bao Zhengs, as incorruptible as Zhang Dun, right?

Anyway, in Zhao Xu’s understanding.

The ministers who were truly not greedy in the Song Dynasty and who are currently in the court are probably Fan Chunren, Lu Dafang, Cheng Yi, Su Che, Su Song, etc.

In addition, there is Zhang Dun who is already on the road in Guangxi, Sima Guang who is ill at home, and Wang Anshi who is far away in Jiangning.

Others have been proven by history to be more or less dishonorable.

At least, it is certain that the sons and nephews of the indulgent family can do business in Bianjing City under their banner.

This is also the reason why so far, Shiyiwu has only recovered three to five million guan from its debts.

This is also what makes street intrusion so tricky and troublesome.

This is the fundamental reason why none of the banquet officials dared to speak after knowing the inside story.

This matter is like a ball of thread that is entangled with each other. Just figuring out the relationship between it is enough to give people a headache.

We really need to do something about this.

The consequences will be the same as Lu Huiqing's tactics, which will only arouse everyone's disgust.

If you are not careful, your reputation will be ruined and the world will be destroyed!

Just like Lu Huiqing, just like Lu Jiawen.

Zhao Xu glanced at Fan Chunren with satisfaction and praised in his heart: "He is indeed Fan Zhongyan's son..."

"Except for being a little pedantic sometimes..."

"He is indeed a good minister!"

Most ministers would not dare to say such a thing even in private, let alone say it publicly?
