Chapter 548 The King of Fruits!(1/2)
Chapter 548 The King of Fruits!
Wu Zhi is accusing Zhou Ji of his bad behavior.
The same is true for Li Gefei, Wang Wei, Song Jiang and others.
Faced with the accusation and Wu Zhi's attitude of severely punishing him, Zhou Ji collapsed on the ground and burst into cold sweats on his forehead. He knew that Wu Zhi was staring at him. How would the official who had always trusted Wu Zhi deal with him, the consequences were naturally self-evident.
The official position will definitely not be guaranteed.
He is the Minister of Revenue. Not to mention how high an official he is, he is also a man of the people outside, not an ordinary person.
For his greed, he hated Wu Zhi and took some illegal measures.
It was his method that exposed his strength and made Wu Zhi catch it.
He would not touch him if he didn't do Wu Zhi. Once some things were done, there would be a handle.
If you get rid of a person, you have to take the handle of him. Even if you don’t die, you have to remove the skin.
When Song Huizong learned of this situation, there was nothing to say. He was dismissed from his post in front of the court's civil and military general Zhou Ji and was sent to Cangzhou on the spot.
His Majesty……
After the imperial edict was issued, Zhou Ji was like losing his soul. He knelt on the ground and begged the officials to let him go and not to be exiled, but it would be lighter to be exiled for such a serious crime.
Zhou Ji finally asked Wu Zhi for help, but Wu Zhi ignored him even more, even though he lay beside him like a dog and begged.
However, it was too late. Since Wu Zhi made a decision, he would not be soft-hearted, otherwise he would be useless as the prime minister.
Zhou Ji could only be dragged away in despair and sent to the distance. From then on, the temple was far away, and it was impossible for him to come back.
This is the outcome of him and Wu Zhi going against each other.
Wu Zhi doesn't take the initiative to kill anyone, but if someone wants to be unfavorable to him, he won't be merciful and do whatever he wants.
Zhouzhi is a good example.
Zhou Ji's resignation made Zhao Shu, Huang Chuan and others even more angry, but they were helpless.
This means that Wu Zhi once again shocked the court. The new law was implemented and he was still sure to win. As long as the tax revenue this year is still higher than last year, there is obvious progress and surpassing the previous national policy, the new law will be implemented in the Central Plains of the Song Dynasty.
This is what civil and military officials fear the most, and they almost deprive them of all their land and sources of income.
But Wu Zhi likes these courtiers hate him, but he can't get rid of him.
When Wu Zhi came to the Song Dynasty, he naturally wanted to change the Song Dynasty and let the people and the Song Dynasty develop in a good direction.
These court officials are not good things, so does Wu Zhi need to worry about them?
Wu Zhi solved Zhou Ji and was praised by Emperor Huizong of Song.
Song Huizong also hated such people.
It damages the interests of the Song Dynasty at any time.
No matter how like Wu Aiqing, he was doing things for the development of the Song Dynasty everywhere.
After this incident, Song Huizong trusted Wu Zhi more.
"This dog thing..."
After Zhao Shu and others retreated, Zhao Shu got angry in his palace and overturned the table and chairs, kicking his feet randomly. Once he kicked the table and the foot hurt so much that he wanted to die.
"This time I have a grudge with Wu Zhi, and he is even more inclusive!" Zhao Shu knew that although Zhou Ji did not shake him out, Wu Xiang must have known that he was involved.
If you want to stop Wu Zhi from using the new method and prevent him from getting bigger and bigger, you will destroy everything about him. Anyway, he is the prince, and since he has offended him, he must plan for himself.
So Zhao Shu wanted to make tax revenue.
Taxation is about to begin this year, and he hopes that the Central Plains can surpass Wu Zhi.
On the other side.
After Wu Zhi returned, he thought that he would improve the economy of the Song Dynasty, so he had to improve more agricultural products and industrial products in the Song Dynasty.
In fact, there were many kinds of food in the Song Dynasty, but there were some things that were not visible, such as peanuts, potatoes, corn, tomatoes, carrots, pumpkins, onions, melon seeds, apples, and bananas.
Wuzhi, like tomatoes, watermelons, etc., has long been widely circulated in the Song Dynasty, adding a lot of tax revenue to the Song Dynasty.
Even for the rest, such as melon seeds and carrots, he had already planted a bunch of them in the orchard, but they had not spread out. He was looking at the effect and began to become popular if it was good.
These are all things that improve the economy of the Song Dynasty.
Wuzhi wanted to establish a large number of farms to transport products to markets in the Song Dynasty and neighboring countries.
In this way, the money earned every year is amazing.
If you want to do it on a large scale, Wu Zhi still needs to discuss it with Song Huizong.
Wu Zhi immediately went to the palace to talk to Song Huizong. Song Huizong actually had no objection and immediately agreed.
These agricultural products can not only promote the economy of the Song Dynasty, but also bring considerable wealth to Song Huizong. Of course, if Wu Zhi himself wants to make a little money from it, he will definitely be rich.
But Wu Zhi is not short of money. His more interest is to transform the environment of the Song Dynasty, improve the economy, and make the system economic index soar, thereby gaining new points-added attributes.
Promoting these things can also make Song Huizong more willing to implement new laws.
Wu Zhi took out a lot of seeds, looked at the field in the distance on a city wall, and said, "Your Majesty, if the new law is implemented, Your Majesty can enclose a piece of land as your royal village!"
"Imperial Village? What does this mean?" asked Song Huizong.
Wu Zhi knew that there was no imperial village before the Ming Dynasty, so it was normal for Song Huizong to not understand it very much.
It was not until the Ming Dynasty that the emperor began to own his own land, and this was the emergence of the imperial village.
Wu Zhi wanted to tell Song Huizong in advance.
Using a batch of land as the imperial farm is the emperor's private property.
No emperor would refuse.
Wu Zhi explained what it meant to Song Huizong, and Song Huizong was also moved when he understood.
Wu Zhi pointed to the world outside: "All the kings under the world are kings, but the scholars and officials, princes and nobles occupied a large number of fields in the Central Plains, and the people did not have much. If they collected all their fields, they could not only give them more to the people, increase their output and make them live a good life, but our Song Dynasty's tax revenue was also high. The most important thing is that they could also produce a large amount of more fields for His Majesty's imperial village."
"Once the land in the world is confiscated, there will definitely be many fish that miss the net. I don't know how many officials have privately hidden a large amount of fertile land, which can be used as His Majesty's private royal fertile land.
Think about it, these hundreds of thousands of fertile fields, and planting various seeds, are enough to sell them to the market to add a huge wealth to the treasury! And it is privately owned by the royal family."
Song Huizong: "Since it is owned by the royal family, although it can be used separately in the treasury, it is also an additional income. You have a good idea, I agree!"
"However, with the Central Plains implementing new laws, those ministers will definitely stand up and oppose it. If there are too many people, it will be difficult for me to make a decision!"
"Unless you can guarantee that the tax revenue will exceed them this year, they will have nothing to say!"
When Song Huizong did things, he had to find a legitimate reason. If Wu Zhi did it well, he could do it completely overwhelmed his ministers, but if the tax revenue this year was not as good as them, it would be a bit difficult.
Although Song Huizong could forcibly implement new laws, this would cause turmoil and be detrimental to future management.
That's why this is said.
Wu Zhi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I am sure about the tax revenue this year!"
"Okay, if you are sure, once the result comes out, the ministers have nothing to say, I will immediately let you implement a new law in the Central Plains and take back the farmlands in the world!"
Song Huizong also wanted to have his own imperial village.
Of course he was happy to plant some plants and vegetables to let these wealth that originally belonged to corrupt officials in the world enter his pocket.
A fool is not happy.
Look, look, this is my Aiqing Wu.
He was helping him with everything, unlike those court officials who had no ability, they knew that they were talking in the court, mother-in-law and mother.
The practical thing is useless.
Wu Zhi is different.
Song Huizong was very satisfied. As long as Wu Zhi was present, his interests would never be interrupted.
Although Wu Zhi wanted to transform the Song Dynasty and satisfy his own reform spirit, it did give Song Huizong a lot of benefits.
So this matter was decided.
Seeing Song Huizong's attitude, Wu Zhi was very satisfied. As long as Song Huizong agreed, he would do everything smoothly.
"Your Majesty, you see, these are papaya seeds, these are durian seeds, and these are carrot seeds. If the new law goes well, a large number of them will be planted soon. Not only will they benefit from it, but the people in the world can also produce and sell them in large quantities to foreign countries, or even Europe. It is difficult for the Song Dynasty to be underdeveloped!"
"Well, what Wu Aiqing said is reasonable! I listen to you! But can these things really sell well?"
Wu Zhi: "Don't worry, your Majesty, the seeds we have obtained are all made from other places and are definitely popular in the market! Especially this durian is the king of fruits, and it will definitely be sold in large quantities."
"durian?"
"Is this thing delicious?" asked Song Huizong.
"Your Majesty, I have tried some plantings outside Bianjing City as early as possible. Although there are not many, I can pick two of them.
This thing is nutritious and delicious. Of course, people who taste it for the first time may not like it very much. But those who like it will never be without durian in their entire life!”
"Is it really so magical?... In this way, I will take the imperial concubine to taste fresh fruits."
Song Huizong became interested.
