When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

Chapter 209: Now that he is rich: Yue Fei straightens his chest!

During the morning court session, all the civil and military officials stood up straight, looking energetic and high-spirited.

This is in stark contrast to before, when although they also stood upright, they always unconsciously bent their waists and lowered their heads slightly, as if they were carrying a heavy burden.

The Jingkang Shame brought great humiliation to the Song Dynasty, and later Wanyan Gou’s weak attitude towards the Jin people made everyone disheartened.

These things were like a heavy mountain, weighing on the hearts of every civil and military official in the court.

Although they could choose to turn a blind eye, endure silently, or even bow down to the Jin people, they were all under certain pressure deep down in their hearts.

Now, however, the situation has reversed.

The Song army swept across the Jin army, marched north to destroy the Jin Dynasty, and captured almost all of the Jin Dynasty's ministers and royal family members.

This victory was not only a military success, but also a spiritual relief.

The invisible mountain that had been weighing on their hearts finally disappeared, and everyone felt unprecedented relief and joy.

At this moment, they can stand tall and proud, showing true confidence and dignity.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"This battle not only recaptures the north, but also eliminates some hidden dangers in the surrounding areas. The Song Dynasty will no longer have to worry!"

"The shame of Jingkang in the past has finally been avenged!"

"I will burn it for my father tonight to inform his spirit in heaven!"

Zhao Dezhao smiled happily.

Although I had no choice but to come to this dynasty.

But this is the Song Dynasty after all, and Japan is the Zhao Dynasty.

"For this battle, we have to thank other dynasties for their help. Otherwise, even if we could win, it would not be possible in a short time, and the losses would increase exponentially!"

Zhao Kuangyin stood up and bowed deeply to Zhu Di and Zhu Ming.

"Thanks to your help, Old Zhao doesn't know how to thank you for helping the Song Dynasty to avenge its humiliation. Let's have a good drink tonight. Come on, slaughter more cattle and sheep. Not only the two Zhu brothers, but all the soldiers, eat as much as you want today!"

Destroy several countries in one go.

Especially the north.

The number of cattle and sheep seized was countless.

Plus various other kinds of food, gold and silver.

The Song Dynasty, which had originally enjoyed a good economy, suddenly had its treasury filled to the brim.

All the salaries previously owed to the soldiers, together with the pensions, were paid out together.

To pacify the surrounding countries.

The court must be reorganized.

There were many officials in the Song Dynasty.

Corruption is serious.

While the coalition forces of all dynasties were still there, Zhao Dezhao began to reorganize the court.

There are only a few ministers left today who were attending court yesterday.

In the past in the Song Dynasty, if you made a mistake, you could just retire and return home, and that was basically it.

Zhao Dezhao doesn't indulge them.

As long as you make a mistake, it doesn't matter even if the person is no longer here.

Those who deserve to be sentenced should be sentenced, and those who should be implicated should be implicated. The previous crimes cannot be erased just because they are no longer alive.

Follow the punishment given by Lao Zhu.

If all 100 of them were cut, the error rate would not exceed 1 percent.

Skinning and stuffing with grass was also used in the Song Dynasty.

Every city wall is hung with dolls.

Such a rectification naturally aroused resistance from officials.

However, facing the coalition forces of all dynasties.

In the face of absolute strength, all resistance is futile.

Complete the rectification of the officialdom.

Zhao Dezhao took out a small notebook.

Above are some good policies implemented by emperors of several other dynasties.

Begin to implement gradually.

Yue Fei led cartloads of money to distribute them.

When I visited the homes of the fallen soldiers, I felt confident for the first time.

In the past, whenever Yue Fei was sent to deliver money, he would never dare to look up.

Because the military salaries were almost not paid out, not to mention the arrears.

Those soldiers who died in battle did not receive even a little compensation.

Hot-blooded men are the pillars of their families.

Without them, countless families are in pain and have no place to make a living.

Even if Yue Fei wanted to help, he could only help one person but could not help thousands of families.

We walked to a thatched hut full of wounds. A woman was mending something. Two children looked pale and skinny. It was obvious that they were malnourished. "My sister-in-law is busy."

Seeing someone coming in, the woman looked up.

When he saw that it was Yue Fei, his expression suddenly turned a little ugly.

"Get out, get out quickly, you are not welcome here!"

Seeing this, the guard beside him asked sternly: "How dare you!"

Yue Fei hurriedly stopped her: "Sister-in-law, calm down first."

"Why are you calm? My husband died fighting with you. You always talked about compensation, but I haven't seen a penny yet. My youngest child starved to death, and the rest of the children haven't eaten for two days. How can you ask me to calm down?" the young woman said angrily.

Hearing this, Yue Fei's eyes were filled with tears: "Sister-in-law, it's all my fault. I, Yue Fei, am sorry for you."

"General, it's not your fault. It was the previous incompetent emperor and treacherous ministers who embezzled all the money." said the personal soldier beside him.

"Yes, General, please don't blame yourself."

Yue Fei shook his head: "It was because I made promises one after another that they followed me, Yue Fei, through life and death, and fought on the battlefield. In the end, it was me, Yue Fei, who did not fulfill my promises. This is my fault."

"Stop pretending here and leave now. I don't want to see you." the little woman shouted.

Ordinary people, who could know the ins and outs of the matter? They only knew that they were following Yue Fei to fight. Yue Fei had promised them that they would receive salaries and pensions, but in the end, they saw nothing.

Even the whereabouts of her dead husband's body is unknown.

"Sister-in-law, please wait a moment. The Song Dynasty has a new emperor. The new emperor is different from the previous incompetent emperor Zhao Gou. He was very angry when he heard about your situation. Not only did he severely punish corrupt officials, he also asked the Ministry of Revenue to calculate and reissue the salaries and pensions that should have been paid before, and to provide additional subsidies."

As he spoke, Yue Fei took out a package.

After opening it, there were some silver dollars and several bills, daily necessities, oil, salt, meat, etc.

In addition to these, several bags of rice and flour were also unloaded from the car.

The young woman looked at the package and several bags of rice and flour, and asked in surprise: "Are these all for us?"

Yue Fei nodded: "In fact, we should have given it to you a long time ago, but we were in power because of the incompetent emperor. We are only making up for it now. There will be other subsidies in the future, and someone will notify you when the time comes. The new currency promoted by the Song Dynasty can be used to buy things. These bills are called deposit certificates. You can go to the nearby Song Dynasty Bank to withdraw money with them."

Yue Fei explained the deposit certificate and the new currency in detail.

"Thank you, General. Thank you, General." The young woman hurriedly took her two children to kowtow.

Although he had some doubts about whether the deposit certificate was real or fake, the grain was not fake. Yue Fei did not dare to accept it and hurriedly helped him up.

"This is what you deserve. The court has delayed giving it to you until now. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, your life will gradually get better. I heard that the court will give you land and let your children go to school for free. Maybe they can become high officials in the future."

After leaving the hut, Yue Fei led his men to the next house.

Before this, Wanyan Jiumei and Qin Hui had caused chaos in the imperial court.

It is unknown how many soldiers were owed money, and Yue Fei would not be able to deliver them all by himself.

In the territory of the Song Dynasty.

Each state and county.

There are soldiers distributing items.

This move directly won Zhao Dezhao the hearts of the troops.

Even if the coalition forces of all dynasties leave, there is no need to worry about the generals being out of control.

Even Yue Fei's prestige in the army could not be compared with Zhao Dezhao's.

The people of the Song Dynasty discovered that the Song Dynasty today is really different from before.

Not only are there fewer corrupt officials and bullies, but government offices also get things done much faster, and the yamen runners who used to have a stern look on their faces are now much kinder.

Zhu Ming returned to the Dalong Dynasty.

Many factories have emerged in Dalong.

Schools were established everywhere.

Railways are also being built.
Everything is developing step by step.

In the study, Zhu Ming was enjoying a massage.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from my mind: "Ding, a guest from the Ming Dynasty is coming, please go and greet him!"

Zhu Ming stood up immediately.

After sending a few masseurs away.

Zhu Ming touched his chin and said, "I don't know who the Ming Dynasty visitors are this time. There are many strange people in the Ming Dynasty. I don't know if Old Zhu can hold on if he knows what his descendants have done."

Call the cabinet.

"I'll leave this to you guys. I'm going to go back first!"

Wude Fang Xuanling looked helpless: "Your Majesty, you should take care of things here. Some ministers have been admitted recently. How about you meet them? After all, there are still some ministers who don't know Your Majesty."

"I have only been absent from work for a few days. If you knew that there were several emperors in the Ming Dynasty who did not attend court for 20 or 30 years, you would know that I am still very hardworking."

After saying that, Zhu Ming disappeared into the room.

Yongle Yao Guangxiao smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it, let's get back to work."

Hongwu Ming Dynasty.

Old Zhu looked at the intelligence sent by the Jinyiwei from various places with a sad face.

"Old Zhu, it's smashed. Judging from your expression, has something happened to you?" Zhu Ming's voice suddenly sounded.

"It's nothing. I'm just a little unhappy that we didn't find any corrupt officials this month and didn't meet the target." Seeing that it was Zhu Ming, Old Zhu said it without hiding anything.

Zhu Ming was stunned for a moment: "This should be a good thing, right? Shouldn't we celebrate when there are fewer corrupt officials? The key is what's wrong with your target? How can you catch corrupt officials and still have to complete the task every month?"

Old Zhu sighed slightly: "Not finding the corrupt officials is indeed a good thing. Logically speaking, we should be happy.

When I first became emperor, I swore to kill a few corrupt officials every month. Last month, I was able to find one or two, but this month, I didn't find any. These two tigers are not doing their job well!"

"In the past, the salary was too low and I couldn't even survive, so I would definitely embezzle some. Now the treatment is much better than before, plus you have zero tolerance for corrupt officials, who would be stupid enough to embezzle? Isn't life sweet?"

Empress Ma said, "Ignore him. He is just making himself uncomfortable. He has to make himself look sad for such good news. Xiao Zhu, why did you come here suddenly? Is there something wrong?"

Generally speaking, if there is something going on, Zhu Ming will be directly transferred to Lao Zhu.

If you come here for tourism, that may not be the case.

Zhu Ming nodded: "There is something going on. Daming has guests coming. I was wondering if you would like to go and take a look?"

Old Zhu was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise: "So, one of our descendants has come again. We are free, so let's go and take a look. If he is a decent emperor, we will help him kill the corrupt officials. If he is a tyrant, we will depose him directly!"

Empress Ma stood up and asked, "Brother, please bring your sister-in-law with you this time. I also want to see which emperor it is."

Zhu Ming naturally had no objection, but was a little curious: "If you all go, what about government affairs?"

Old Zhu chuckled and said, "Seeing that emperors of other dynasties were so relaxed, we have also established a cabinet. The general matters can be handled by the cabinet, and other matters can be handled by Biao'er."

"I think if you continue like this, maybe you can become an emperor who doesn't attend court for ten or twenty years." Zhu Ming said in surprise.

In Zhu Ming's impression, Old Zhu is a model representative.

Old Zhu shook his head: "Impossible, we are now the same as you, a week is seven days, and we hold a court meeting at least once a week."

"Better than me. If I go to court, I guess many people won't recognize me."

"Aren't you afraid that one day they will usurp the throne and seize power?" Old Zhu warned.

"Do you think I'm afraid of that?" Zhu Ming asked back.

Thinking of Zhu Ming's character, Old Zhu couldn't help but say, "Yes, I guess you can't wait for someone to usurp the throne. Besides, even if someone usurps the throne, you can easily take back the throne with just a word."

After a while.

Queen Ma changed her clothes with two maids, and came over with a small bag on her shoulder: "I'm ready!"

In the warehouse

Suddenly two figures appeared.

"Strange, what happened? Why did the sky suddenly turn dark?"

"I don't know what happened either, Your Majesty, be careful!"

The two of them groped in the dark and explored their surroundings carefully.

“Daoyan, did you touch the stone table that was here just now?”

"No, Your Majesty?"

"I didn't touch it either. It's strange. It's right next to me, so how could I not touch it?"

"Your Majesty, is it possible that we are no longer in the garden we were just in, or that we are now in a dream?"

"Snapped!"

There was a slap in the face.

"Hiss, I just tried it, I'm definitely not dreaming, but the master said that this is not the garden before, how is it possible? After the sky suddenly turned dark, I didn't move a few steps."

"I am just guessing. After all, it is too strange for the sky to suddenly turn dark. Even if it is an eclipse, it won't turn dark all of a sudden."

"Could it be my nephew who turned into a ghost to confuse me?"

"Your Majesty, it's not certain whether your nephew is dead or not. Even if he is really dead, I know for sure that he doesn't have such great ability. When he was alive, he was no match for Your Majesty, and it's even more impossible now that he is dead."

"If it's not him, could it be that it was father who did it?"

In the blink of an eye, Zhu Ming brought a few people to the modern era. They drove a commercial vehicle and headed in the direction indicated.

"I don't know who it will be this time, I hope it's a king who can maintain the status quo."

Zhu Ming chuckled: "Old Zhu, take it easy. We have already seen the worst Zhu Qizhen, how much worse can he be?"

"Don't mention those three words. I never want to hear them again."

When he heard the name, Lao Zhu got a headache and his blood pressure soared.

"Maybe I'll see it again someday. When I get there, I don't know who's inside. It feels like opening a blind box!" (End of this chapter)
