"Oh?"

Zhao Xu laughed and motioned for the eunuch to bring it over, saying, "He would write a memorial to me? Rare! The relationship between the Divine Marquis and Prince Jing is very good?"

Zhuge Zhengwo remained calm and said truthfully: "I have never met him, but I have some connections with Zhui Ming and Wu Qing."

Zhao Xu said "hmm" and said nothing more.

He actually knows all these situations.

The Imperial City Administration of the Great Song Dynasty is not just there to eat and do nothing.

He unfolded Zhao Wuxian's memorial.

The first thing that catches the eye is the thin and graceful handwriting.

"Good word!"

Zhao Xu praised.

Good handwriting can make people happy just by looking at it.

The font on the memorial.

The brushwork is free and easy, and the work is completed in one go.

It is refreshing, sharp, and full of pride, just like cutting gold and jade, with a unique charm.

Zhao Xu glanced at the font of the memorial before beginning to read its contents.

Cai Jing stole a glance and observed Zhao Xu's expression.

He was solemn at first.

Then he became solemn, and then he became thoughtful.

Finally, there was a burst of laughter.

Zhuge Zhengwo, Cai Jing, and Fu Zongshu all looked at Zhao Xu strangely.

I don’t know what Zhao Wuxian said.

It actually made Zhao Xu so happy.

Zhuge Zheng only read the letter Zhao Wuxian wrote to him, and did not read the content of the memorial, so he was also confused.

Zhao Xu handed the memorial to the eunuch, grinning and saying, "Mr. Cai, take a look!"

The eunuch handed it over to Cai Jing.

When Cai Jing saw the words on the memorial, he was also amazed and felt that Zhao Wuxian's handwriting was unique.

No wonder Zhao Xu couldn't help but praise it.

Cai Jing looked at the content.

In his memorial, Zhao Wuxian directly reported that the Shipping Trade Guild had colluded with Liao and Jin, bullied the market, and committed treason and collaboration with the enemy.

Cai Jing frowned and sweat ran down his back.

When he saw the end.

I finally understand why Zhao Xu smiles so brightly.

"I have confiscated the unexpected wealth of the shipping trade guild, totaling 10 million taels. I will hand it all over to the national treasury to strengthen national defense!"

Cai Jing swallowed his saliva.

Sweat was beading on his forehead.

He has a bad heart.

For the sake of these 10 million taels, Zhao Xu would probably not hold Zhao Wuxian accountable anymore, but would instead protect him.

Zhao Wuxian's move was so powerful.

It went straight into Zhao Xu's heart.

It solved the urgent problems of him and the court.

What's the hurry?

The treasury is empty!

Everyone says that the Song Dynasty was a "rich Song", but why was the treasury empty?

Very simple.

The three redundancies, border problems, land and people's livelihood issues, etc. have not been resolved yet.

The Song Dynasty's treasury had been running out of money since Emperor Zhenzong's reign.

Fiscal revenue is lower than fiscal expenditure.

In the court statistics years ago.

Last year's fiscal tax revenue was 110 million guan.

The expenditure was 130 million guan.

A loss of 20 million strings of cash.

Converted into silver, it is about six or seven million taels.

Now, Zhao Wuxian seized a shipping trade guild and “took out” 10 million taels of silver, which immediately made up for the shortfall.

There is a surplus.

Zhao Xu had always been thinking about launching military operations against Liao and Western Xia, but was worried about the military expenses.

Now, we have everything!

Zhao Xu drank a sip of tea to calm himself down.

He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Prince Jing is really my good brother. His patriotism is evident in his every move."

In front of Zhao Xu's eyes, there was only white silver flying towards him.

He has already started planning how to spend the money.

The feeling of being rich.

In one word, cool!

Being a rich emperor is so cool!

With the feeling of refreshment.

Zhao Xu no longer looked at Zhao Wuxian as hateful as before.

This brother is really easy to get along with.

If he has money, he really gives it.

These days, the one who gives money is the boss, and the emperor is no exception.

If Zhao Wuxian were here, Zhao Xu would probably have spun around.

Cai Jing and Fu Zongshu looked at each other, feeling like they could not cry.

Fu Zongshu cried out inwardly.

Do not!

Official family.

You should treat money as dirt!

How could you be bribed by a mere ten million taels?

His heart aches!

Because of the 10 million taels that Zhao Wuxian had looted.

About 40 to 50 percent of it might be his.

Zhao Wuxian is too despicable and shameless.

He actually used their money to bribe Zhao Xu.

Don't talk about martial arts!

Zhuge Zhengwo saw that Cai Jing and Fu Zongshu's faces turned purple and he felt secretly happy.

He coughed lightly and said, "Sir, regarding the issue of the ship trade guild in Lin'an, what do you think should be done?"

Zhao Xu's face turned cold, and he snorted, "How could a civilian organization be able to confiscate 10 million taels of silver? That's 40% of the national treasury's revenue last year?"

"This is definitely treason. Prince Jing is right. These parasites should all be beheaded!"

Zhao Xu pinched his chin.

He seemed to see a path to quick wealth.

"Oh, and those officials involved in this matter must also be investigated thoroughly, and their properties must be confiscated!"

"this matter……"

Zhao Xu glanced at Zhuge Zhengwo, then at Cai Jing and Fu Zongshu, who both looked unhappy.

After a brief thought, he said, "Let's hand this matter over to Fang Yingkan, the acting chief constable of the Six Gates who is about to arrive in Beijing!"

When they heard that it was not handed over to Zhuge Zhengwo, Cai Jing and Fu Zongshu breathed a sigh of relief.

If it were Zhuge Zheng, I would do this.

We have to get to the bottom of it.

Zhuge Zheng I was not surprised.

In Zhao Xu's eyes, he and Zhao Wuxian were close, so he must have some concerns.

Gusu!

Celebrating the New Year and other festivals is naturally joyful, but it is also tiring.

Especially the Duke Jingguo Mansion, after it was upgraded to Prince Jing Mansion, it became busy with many miscellaneous affairs and was crowded with guests coming and going.

Now, Zhao Wuxian has to be involved in many matters in Prince Jing’s Mansion.
