Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 97

Immediately afterwards, a thin man who looked like a small team leader came over and cupped his hands. A pair of thieves' eyes looked up and down at Zhao Dezhao, and he said with a smile: "There are too many nobles in Tokyo, and the villain has never seen him before." Is there any noble person who fights for the beggar, dare to ask the name of the nobleman's house?"

With a swipe, Zhao Dezhao pulled out half of the waist knives of the left and right guards at the same time, and the murderous look was revealed for a moment. The thin team leader immediately restrained his anger, lowered his eyebrows and said softly: "The villain's mouth is cheap and rude, sir. Don't blame it."

Zhao Dezhao didn't bother to argue with these rats, and he didn't reveal his identity, but said calmly with his hands behind his back:

"Those beggars who block the road, you can just wait for the gentleman to disperse them, why use an iron ruler to beat them to death? What's more, those beggars who are sitting on the ground by the wall do not hinder any pedestrians. They have no food and clothing, so they have to give They leave a way to survive, if you and others hurt them, how can they have the money to treat them, wouldn't they end up with a dead end in the end?"

The thin team leader lowered his head and said: "Master Mingjian, it's not that the little people want to pay attention to these young and old beggars, they don't have any money to fish for, it's really a strict order from the official, saying that the governor is kind-hearted. I can't see that there are beggars without food and clothing in the city of Tokyo, so they are not allowed to stay in the city to beg, and they must be driven out of the city, otherwise they will be unsightly. The Governor will be angry when he sees it, and the Holy One will also be angry when he sees it... "

Zhao Dezhao couldn't help laughing dumbfounded. He was so kind-hearted that he drove away all the beggars because he didn't want people to suffer. What the hell is this?And when did the Song Dynasty have urban management and law enforcement, why are they still in charge of the city appearance?
After thinking about it again, I suddenly realized that the shitty city is not beautiful, it is clearly Zhao Guangyi who is struggling to save his face, for fear that there are too many beggars in the city of Tokyo, so that the emperor's father will feel that he can't manage the Kaifeng mansion when he sees it by chance one day In the final analysis, it is still a face-saving project out of political achievements!
"You go." After trying to understand the key points, Zhao Dezhao became more and more panicked, and waved his hand, signaling that the skinny team leader can leave.

"Master, those beggars, even if the villain ignores your golden face, Master, other gentlemen will come to disperse them immediately."

"You don't need to worry about it, I have my own arrangements."

"My lord, if you want to buy them as slaves, you will have to pay a lot of money. According to the new rules, you have to go to the State Administration of Taxation to sign a deed and pay a deed tax. It can be saved, and you will have no future troubles..."

The thin team leader straightened his waist, his narrowed eyes gleamed greedily, and the lowered eyebrows that were pleasing to the eye and deliberately flattering just now disappeared without a trace.

Zhao Dezhao laughed angrily. No wonder the people in Tokyo say that when a man sees money, he sees blood like a fly. The Kaifeng government office under Zhao Guangyi's rule is such a fucking virtue?
I was too lazy to say anything at the moment and made a gesture. The two wolf-like guards couldn't bear it for a long time. The thin squad leader was rolled all over the floor and howled. His partners saw that this group of people was not easy to deal with. No one had the guts to come forward to help.

Zhao Dezhao turned his head and told Qian Niu'er: "Give these beggars a settling money, and then arrange for someone to take them to the farm to resettle. Well, the few farms copied from Chi Jianxin last time seem to be short of people. Don’t forget to bring it to the State Administration of Taxation to make an appointment.”

Qian Niu'er glanced at the group of beggars, old and young, and said hesitantly: "Master, more than half of them are old and young, and they can't work. It's nothing to live in the farm."

In this era, the elderly and children without the ability to work are worthless. Children are relatively better. They can do some chores at the age of eight or nine, and they can grow up to be strong laborers in the future. Those old people are really dogs. Worse, even the most unscrupulous human traffickers will not attack them.

In fact, Zhao Dezhao also hesitated, how useful would a mere insignificant kindness be?There are indeed many farms under my name, even if I resettle hundreds of thousands of people, it is a piece of cake, but can I still have the ability to resettle the refugees and beggars in the entire Kaifufeng, and even the whole world?
But after thinking about it for a while, he immediately slapped Qian Niu'er on the back of the head, and scolded with a smile: "I tell you to go, you should do it quickly! Just now that refugee has a little kindness and courage, and is willing to come forward to help the orphan. Can you even be inferior to him? Hurry up and get out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a coaxing voice saying: "Your honor is absurdly praised. The four words of benevolence, courage and bravery are really ashamed of the villain. I just acted out of righteous indignation."

Zhao Dezhao raised his eyes and saw that it was the burly man who fought against the officials of Kaifeng Mansion just now with a pair of empty hands. He was dressed as a refugee, but his eyes were shining brightly.

He bowed deeply to Zhao Dezhao: "The villain thanked you for your help."

Zhao Dezhao waved his hand to signal that there is no need to be too polite, looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "I heard that your official language is quite awkward, and the accent seems to be from the south of the Five Ridges. Which one of the troubled princes and grandsons from the south?"

Zhao Dezhao said this just out of curiosity about this person's background, just as a joke, but he didn't expect that there was a bitterness on the face of the burly man.

"The nobleman is just joking. He is called the king and grandson in distress. Naturally, a villain would not dare to be a villain. But a villain comes from a large family in Lingnan. He has served as a local shepherd. He has also led soldiers and fought against the Song Dynasty..."

Zhao Dezhao was taken aback. Huang Erzhu and the other three guards reacted faster, and immediately stood in front of him, drew out his saber with a swipe, and surrounded the burly man to prepare for any eventuality.

This person was an official in Lingnan, and even led troops to fight against the Song Dynasty, so he could only defect from the small court of the Southern Han Dynasty.

In today's Great Song Dynasty, there is the Northern Han in the north and the Southern Han in the south. Both sides are surnamed Liu, and the country title is called "Han", but they are not one family.

Unlike the small court of the Northern Han Dynasty, which was the mortal enemy of the Later Zhou Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, the small court of the Southern Han Dynasty has always been a vassal state in the name of the Central Plains Dynasty.

For decades, the Central Plains imperial court in Kaifeng was the Later Han of the Liu family, the Later Zhou Dynasty of the Guo family, or even the Great Song Dynasty with the surname of Zhao today. Natou worshiped, sent envoys to pay tribute, and then closed the door and proclaimed king and emperor.

Although the small imperial courts of the Southern Han Dynasty were low in stature and soft in knees, it did not mean that they were salted fish without any dreams at all. Whenever the situation in the Central Plains was changed and the situation was turbulent, they would take a cold breath to beat a guy to the north, but because the fighting power was too weak, the vast majority Most of the time they were at a disadvantage, but occasionally they could gain some advantage. They fought as far as the southern part of Jingxiang;

Therefore, although the small court of the Southern Han Dynasty was a vassal of the Song Dynasty in name, it was in fact no different from an enemy country.

Facing this brave man thrown from the enemy country, Huang Erzhu and the other three guards naturally became vigilant.
