The rise of the Great Jin Kingdom coincided with the decline of the Liao and Song Dynasties, and the military power of the Great Jin Dynasty did indeed reach its peak in those short years. It can be said that since ancient times, the weak ethnic group has been able to destroy everything.
Daikin can be regarded as a model for those who want to conquer a great country.
However, precisely because it conquered the world so quickly with few real setbacks, Daikin had very little experience in governance, and its control of grassroots government affairs was extremely lax. This is still the case even a hundred years after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
If you only look at the center, it seems that there is no shortage of official offices, and the laws and regulations are strict. Its appearance is bright and beautiful, no different from that of previous dynasties. But in fact, the princes and the people in the court seem to be
We live in two different worlds. Even when Emperor Sejong was still alive, the people at the bottom, whether Han or Jurchen, were often in poverty compared with Yao and Shun at the top. To this day, the policies at the top are full of mistakes, and the bottom is even more chaotic.
It's so bad.
Take Zhigu Village as an example. Since the Jin Dynasty moved its capital to Yanjing in the first year of Zhenyuan and renamed it Zhongdu, Shandong, Hebei and other roads have used the three-branch area where many rivers converge as a transshipment hub in the spring and autumn.
Most importantly, goods and travel from various places are often transited here. Every day, boats and boats are linked to each other, as dense as scales.
However, the imperial court never formally managed Zhigu Village.
At first glance, the imperial court set up a Water Transport Department in Jingzhou to be responsible for the so-called Liuhe warehouse transshipment in the upper reaches of the river. It also established a Tianjin River Patrol Officer under the Du Water Supervision to manage the Cao River gate bank. Then it went straight to the area around Guzhai and Qingzhou.
, the state official titles in Bazhou all carry the words "to control the Caohe incident", while the county official titles in Baodi, Wuqing and Jinghai counties all carry the title "to control the Caohe incident".
It seems that there are many officials in charge, but the layers of yamen officials are all facing the Caohe River itself. Therefore, in and outside the huge Zhigu Village, except for the commander-in-chief who is responsible for public security, no one directly manages the civil affairs.
In terms of prosperity and prosperity, after decades of development, Zhigu Village is no less than any town in Dajin. At least the three cities in the north of Daxing Prefecture in Zhongdu cannot compare to this place. But it is like this right before your eyes.
Why can't the court see where great profits are coming from?
When it comes to plundering and amassing money, Dajin has always been no less impressive than those of the past dynasties. Why is it that he suddenly shows his superiority to this area?
Three months ago, in the evening.
The clouds in the sky gradually became thicker, covering up the crescent moon, the stars were dim, and the road under my feet was unclear. The roar of the sea tide invading the river on the right was louder and louder than the waves, which was very scary.
Li Yun clasped his hands and walked slowly along the Xin'an Haibao on the north bank of the Tianjin River.
His companion Sun Jiang was holding a lantern to light the way. In fact, there was an open straight road at the top of Haibao. Li Yun had walked there countless times, and he would not go wrong even with his eyes closed.
Li Yun is Li Ting's younger brother, two years younger than Li Ting, and is only eighteen years old this year. In the third year of Da'an, the imperial court signed an army in Zhongdu. The Li brothers led young men from four villages to join the expedition. They fought dozens of fierce battles and gradually gathered a group of men under them.
Of course, this was due to Li Ting's bravery in combat and ruthless tactics. Although Li Yun was young, he was thoughtful and steady, and he also had merit in handling affairs.
At this time, Li Yun walked slowly and thought slowly.
Previously, the Li brothers were just the young leaders of Fulang. They were involved in extortion and extortion on the streets, and they were also involved in private salt sales in Baodi County, but they never dared to reach out to the surroundings of Zhigu Village. But now, he is in and out of Zhigu Village all day long.
They made inquiries inside and outside, and even opened a shop, pretending to do business here... which will inevitably arouse doubts in many quarters.
This is inevitable.
Why doesn't the imperial court care about this prosperous land? Because this is a forbidden area for many nobles in the court. Every business here is backed by high-ranking nobles in the court, and there are even direct descendants of high-ranking nobles who directly preside over affairs here.
Everything that can be thought of, whether it is salt, wine, tea, vinegar, incense and other goods that are exclusively sold by the imperial court, or rare treasures from the world, Lu Hai Department Store, are all transferred and traded here before being sent to Zhongdu. The process of transfer and transaction,
This is the process by which many noble people make great profits; and those used to transport huge amounts of materials are not only inland river boats, but also extremely large-scale maritime fleets.
As early as the Zhenglong reign of King Hailing, the important shipyards of Daikin were located along the Lushui River. At that time, Su Baoheng, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Xiemao Ali, the navy general, supervised the construction of warships here. In just a few years, three warships were built.
Wait, there are thousands of them.
After the defeat of King Hailing, these shipyards and shipwrights were divided among many nobles. As a result, the nobles controlled the fleet with one hand and the power of smuggling with the other. They made a lot of money in Zhigu Village at the foot of the emperor outside Zhongdu City.
Happy.
From the perspective of ordinary people, Zhigu Village is a place where business thrives. In fact, the more you understand the details, the less you dare to act rashly. Because those who are truly qualified to share the wealth in the bureau are the real dignitaries of the Jin Dynasty.
, outsiders are only qualified to wander around and pick up some leftovers.
Those who do not have enough weight and rashly intervene in the game will surely suffer.
What Li Yun was thinking about, Sun Jiang was also thinking about. He couldn't help but ask: "Is the document brought by Mr. Jinzhi really useful? After all, Prime Minister Xu has been down for seventeen or eighteen years, and now Xu is participating in politics... Hehe
, the weight is not enough. Besides, he has nothing to do with Xu’s participation in politics? This document has a lot of twists and turns, and it is not written forcefully. I’m afraid it will make people look down upon us!"
Li Yun smiled and said: "I'm just asking them to look down upon you."
"how do I say this?"
"In normal times, we can slowly take root and test things out slowly, but the situation in Zhongdu City is dangerous recently. Guo Langjun may not be sure when he will make a big move... We must establish a foothold here as soon as possible and control considerable power."
Li Yun stopped: "So, we need a chance."
Sun Jiang was puzzled: "What opportunity?"
"Mr. Jinzhi is indeed a has-been person, and he is still involved in a lawsuit. If we take out the documents, we will be despised by others. Immediately, someone will jump out and try to get rid of us. And we just need to win.
Those who jump out will naturally prove their own strength."
Li Yun looked at the rows of buildings on the other side of the Tianjin River: "The nobles seem to be unattainable, but in fact, their methods of doing things are the same as those of us ruffians. Those who jumped out first must be those with higher status in Zhigu Village.
Low, a family eager to show off in front of the big shots."
Sun Jiang understood: "We will gather the brothers and beat this family hard. We will hit whoever takes the lead and beat them to the bone. As long as we clean up our hands and tail, the big shots above will be able to weigh our weight."
, maybe you can give us a few bites of this family’s meat and bones instead.”
It seems a bit excessive to use meat and bones, but the local ruffians are just picking up the leftovers of the nobles, so they don't think there is any problem.
When Sun Jiang saw Li Yun nodding, he was also proud of himself. Just as he was about to say a few words, he suddenly stared at the other side of the Tianjin River and stuttered: "Burn, burn, it's burning!"
Li Yun also changed his expression: "It's our shop! Our warehouse! How dare you set fire to it!"
He could see across the wide river, there were figures running in the firelight, some were escaping, and others were chasing them, killing them all with swords and guns!
Those people are all from Baodi Township whom Li Yun reunited recently. How many people are going to die now? These noble people in Zhongdu turn out to be even more unreasonable and less scrupulous than the local gangsters!
He shouted to Sun Jiang: "Let's go back quickly!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw several gray-brown figures jumping out from among the deep grass and trees behind Sun Jiang.
Seeing the sudden change in Li Yun's expression, Sun Jiang felt immediately frightened. He put aside the lantern and turned around with the sword in his hand. However, as soon as he turned around, he saw a man covered in grass behind him and a large sword held high in his hand.
Sun Jiang had no time to make any resisting action, and slashed diagonally with the long knife, instantly cutting off the bones in his shoulders and neck, cutting open the flesh and major blood vessels. Sun Jiang's head and half of his neck were irritated by his own angry blood.
He rushed and was thrown aside in an instant. Blood continued to spurt into the air, then turned into blood beads and fell with crackling sounds.
Li Yun was also drawing his sword. As soon as he put his hand on the handle of the sword, a strong gust of wind hit him from behind. He only dodged slightly, but then there was a sharp pain on the back of his neck and his eyes were blood red. If he were an ordinary person, he would faint immediately after eating this.
But after all, Li Yun had been fighting for several years. He endured the pain and staggered forward.
This road is on the northern edge of Hainan. There are deep grass and shrubs beside the road, and there is a large depression behind it.
Li Yun rushed through the bushes and fell to the ground.
He crossed over the rocky slope and fell into the depression. For a moment, there was only the sound of his body hitting the rocks, and then the sound of water. No one could be seen in the night.
After a while, the sound of the water was also covered up by the roar of the sea water, making it inaudible.
"Chase! Catch up and kill this kid!" someone shouted from the top of the sea.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
The area of Xiaozhigu developed explosively when Zhigu was renamed Haijin Town in the third year of Yanyou in the Yuan Dynasty, and the Zhigu shipping rice warehouse was built in the Yuan Dynasty. There seems to be no record of prosperous commerce in the history books of the Jin Dynasty. However, with
According to common sense, Zhigu Village in the Jin Dynasty was also the center of inland shipping, so there is no reason for it to be so remote that there is no local government office. In addition, if we want to discuss the commodity economy of the Jin Dynasty, we cannot avoid smuggling led by officials. So, um
