Chapter 129 Zhao Kuangyin Candlelight Axe Shadow Hurry and Get Out

Political struggle is cruel and there is no mercy. In history, Zhao Guangyi did not treat his sister-in-law and nephew well. It was useless for Queen Song to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy!

Zhao Kuangyin was not polite to the remaining followers of Zhao Guangyi! He pulled them all out and squeezed them to bleed!

Zhao Kuangyin now has to quickly find his wife and children who traveled through time. This world is too magical, and he can only relax when he is with his own people!

Zhao Kuangyin asked Liang Defu to go to the harem and tell Empress Song Huizhen and the fourth prince Zhao Defang to come to see him. Because Zhao Kuangyin knew that Empress Song's maiden name was Huizhen, which was not much different from his wife's name!

Song Huizhen brought Zhao Defang to Funing Palace. Zhao Kuangyin dismissed his attendants. The three of them looked at each other and confirmed their expressions. This was the look of Xu Huizhen and Li Yujin.

Zhao Kuangyin stroked his beard and said, "Odd things change, but even things don't change!"

Song Huizhen and Zhao Defang answered together: "Look at the quadrant to see the symbol"!

Zhao Kuangyin sat down on the couch. He was so tired. This system is so inhumane. It was like hell starting from here. He was almost killed by Zhao Guangyi!

Zhao Defang (Li Yujin will call him Zhao Defang for the sake of convenience) rubbed his head and said, "Dad, you're okay. Mom and I were worried all night. This Zhao Guangyi is not a good guy. If you can't stand it, Mom and I will be bullied to death!"

Song Huizhen was also terrified: "Zhao Guangyi's death was a relief. He was a pervert. Li Yu's wife, Consort Xiao Zhou, was forced to stay in the palace by Zhao Guangyi and tortured for half a month. He even asked painters to paint the scene! Karma keeps the descendants of the Zhao family humiliated by the Jin people after the Jingkang Incident."

Zhao Kuangyin slapped his thigh and said: "The most immoral thing is that Zhao Guangyi came to power illegitimately and was particularly afraid of military generals gaining power. He could not control the military generals and allowed the civil officials to break the backbone of the military generals. The civil officials treated the military generals like running dogs and openly declared that only those who were called out at Donghua Gate were real men!

The backbone of the entire Song Dynasty was broken by Zhao Guangyi's kick! Without the natural barrier of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the Song Dynasty would be like meat on the chopping board, at the mercy of others!

The family of three sat at home and scolded Zhao Guangyi for a long time. Zhao Kuangyin slammed the table and said: "You are living such a pathetic life. You might as well be reborn!"

Song Huizhen and Zhao Defang: "Just do it! We support you!"

The officialdom of the Song Dynasty underwent earth-shaking changes, and the Jin Wang family was uprooted overnight!

The civil officials originally wanted to talk to Zhao Kuangyin about what it meant to be a benevolent monarch, but the undried bloodstains in Jinyang Prefecture made them shut up!

The civil servants are not really stupid. The crime of treason is a crime punishable by death. It's a joke that who would want to die after working so hard to climb to a high position?

It was obvious that Zhao Kuangyin was not someone to be trifled with. How could it be possible that a founding monarch had no means at all!

The first task of Zhao Kuangyin after traveling through time was to collect taxes and consolidate military power!

Taxation is easy to explain. Business taxes are levied based on turnover, with different tax policies applied to different industries. Luxury goods are taxed the heaviest! Rouge, powder, alcohol, tea, and other import and export goods all face dauntingly high tax rates!

Alcohol is taxed at 40%! The imperial court issues a permit to sell alcohol, controlling alcohol sales at the source. Every bottle of wine that leaves the factory is subject to an imperial tax.

Zhao Kuangyin said that drinking less alcohol is good for health!

Zhao Defang was also busy, trying to grow corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes on the land of the imperial farm.

First of all, it is important to feed the people! How dare you despise coarse grains at this time? In ancient times, whoever can feed and clothe the people will have an ironclad kingdom!

Zhao Kuangyin was dealing with officials in the court, while Zhao Defang and Song Huizhen were also constantly developing! As long as you plant seeds in the land, there will always be a day of harvest!

Song Huizhen summoned all the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau and forced these princes to study the barefoot doctor's manual. These old men with gray beards looked down on the queen in the harem from the bottom of their hearts. It was really presumptuous of a woman to think that she only knew how to run the Imperial Medical Bureau!

These old men didn't dare to resist openly, but they dared to do bad things secretly.

That day, during Zhao Kuangyin's morning court session, a censor jumped out and fiercely accused Empress Song of being a hen crowing at dawn! The harem's meddling in government affairs would lead to the fall of the country!

The literati of the Song Dynasty were spoiled, and there were signs of this already. An eighth-rank censor actually dared to impeach the empress! He was truly audacious! Zhao Guangyi even broke down and boasted that he wanted to share the world with the literati!

Zhao Kuangyin was not going to indulge this woman: "My wife is Qi. The Queen is virtuous and prudent by nature, gentle and respectful! What's the crime in promoting and popularizing medical books for the benefit of the people of the world? What's the crime? Do you take me seriously based on hearsay?

This disrespectful scum must be punished! Someone, take him away and give him twenty slaps to teach him a lesson!

Liang Defu came in with his guards, stripped off the censor's official uniform and black hat, dragged him out of the hall, pressed him on a long table and started beating him!

The Imperial Hospital became obedient and served as teachers in the midwife training class organized by the Queen!

Zhao Kuangyin ordered all prefectures and counties to send local midwives to the prefecture to be trained by imperial physicians. Song Huizhen led the prince to research prescriptions for finished medicines and made various pills, powders, pastes and pills to sell to various prefectures.

The state government distributes it to pharmacies and sells it at a uniform price.

The palace maids and eunuchs built a huge winery in the imperial garden. Song Huizhen took the palace maids and eunuchs to distill alcohol in the palace. The 75-degree alcohol was used to disinfect wounds, and Song Huizhen gave the 40-50 degree alcohol a nice name, "Li Ruibai".

Directly wholesale to major liquor stores at 500 coins per pound, and all liquor stores are flocking to it!

This Li Rui Bai has a soft taste when you put it in your mouth, and it feels like a line of red-hot iron scalding your throat when it goes down your throat. Literati and poets prefer to call this kind of wine "a line of throat"!

This kind of wine became popular all over the country in just a few months, especially among the nomadic people in the north. It was like they had found a soulmate. After drinking a sip, their blood circulation accelerated and their hands and feet became warm.

This technology was classified as top secret in the palace, and the winery was heavily guarded. Song Huizhen only employed palace maids and eunuchs, the kind of people who would never be able to leave the palace in their lifetime.

Zhao Kuangyin was frantically expanding his financial resources and accumulating money and grain, but the sword hanging over the head of the Song Dynasty had not yet been lifted!

The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, an eternal pain in the hearts of the people of the Song Dynasty!

The nomadic peoples are becoming increasingly powerful, but the Song Dynasty has no natural defenses to defend. Having lost the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the Song Dynasty is like a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered.

The enemy can march straight to Tokyo Bianliang by crossing the flat plains of Yanyun! The Song Dynasty was a dynasty that survived in peace and security, without any natural defenses, and was at the mercy of others!

If you want to fight, you have to fight for soldiers and money and food, but the worst thing is that the Song Dynasty doesn't even have a decent horse farm! Because the lush land in the Hetao area was occupied by the Western Xia, the Liao Dynasty also seized part of it.

Zhao Kuangyin slammed his fist on the table in anger. "Life is really tough! My neighbors are all robbers. The Song Dynasty is like a little lamb, making them drool! I can't let others snore beside my bed. At least there is still time to pull out these nails one by one!"
