Line in Nanjing

After five years, it should be nearly six years of construction, the imperial city has been quite large-scale, most of the palace city has been repaired, the dragon qi is natural, even the outer city has also expanded a lot, according to Wang Xiu's mention yì, with the blue stone as the base, the outer city has been built into three layers of walls, and each city gate has an urn city. 『』

The big city with a radius of dozens of miles, the three-layer longwall defense system, in the era of cold weapons, whoever wants to capture Jiangning City is simply a joke.

In the newly built two-year-old metropolitan hall, in the simple and atmospheric public hall, Wang Xiu looked calm, quietly listening to the debate of Sun Fu, Tang Ge and others whether to adjust taxes and make up for the military degree on the border, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Over the years, he deliberately avoided the government affairs of foreign dynasties, except for the necessary Zhengshuo Dynasty, he was basically nowhere to be seen, but he added a position to himself, the head of Zhongshan Primary School in Nanjing.

However, he actually led the affairs of China and North Korea with the Hanlin Academy and the Zhizhi system, and successively revised and improved the regulations of the Imperial Song Bank, the regulations on maritime affairs, and the regulations on industrial and commercial fields, influencing the entire society little by little, and preparing for great changes.

Five years of preparation, life can have several five years, but he does not think that the preparation time is too long, on the contrary, he thinks that it is too short, and the accumulation is obviously not enough, Wang Anshi has been dormant for thirty years, and only when he has the courage to be in full swing, the presiding officers of the changes of the past dynasties, which is not the accumulation of prestige.

However, he really couldn't wait, and first locked the three giants of the bank, the maritime department, and the navy, and his strength rose unprecedentedly with his secret support, making him think that five years should be enough. However, he is also very skillful, he handles everything in a low-key manner, and submits major matters to the two governments, and respects the decisions of the two governments very much, so that he has not encountered too much resistance.

Anyway, the development of the three giants is beneficial to the country and the country, especially the fleet of the Great Song Dynasty returned full of debts, and the profits were made to solve the cost of the forbidden army for half a year in one fell swoop, and a lot of criticism was quelled.

It cannot be said here that since Emperor Zhenzong of the Great Song Dynasty added money, until Emperor Renzong's initial customization, Yulu has always been considered by scholars, which is by no means an ordinary generous. In particular, the money is definitely a subtle one, in addition to the official who sent the money to have a good income, the money is also an income, according to the complexity of the official position of the yamen.

Banks, maritime departments are absolutely generous, almost twice as high as other yamen, what is this concept around have become red-eyed rabbits, of course happy to be able to squeeze in, those who can't get in are whipped up, there is a silent absolute control, and it is really difficult to enter without real skills.

As for the naval officers, of course, people have money when they return from going to sea, and each person can also carry some goods and go to sea to earn a few money to support their families, which is not comparable to Ma Bujun.

He used Qin Hui, Fan Zongyin, Cai Yi, Shen Mo, and He Wei as spokesmen, did not intervene in the dispute between the two governments, and tried his best to maintain the balance of the government and government.

The benefits are self-evident, Taoguang cultivates obscurity, avoids high merit and shocks the master, so that he can avoid complicated chores and concentrate on thinking about ways to improve his ideas in the future, which brings him unexpected benefits. Many scholars were upset with him and asked him to return to the court. Especially at the end of the three-year mourning period, Shilin overwhelmingly asked him to go out of the mountain, but he asked for another two years of mourning on the grounds that his parents were martyred and did not go to the funeral in time, so that Shilin was amazed.

Of course, some people say that he sells his reputation and reputation, and some people say that he is obedient and humble on the outside, and he is an expert in Wang Mang's methods, but he was violently attacked by the vested interests. Five years of dormancy gave him not only fame, but also an indestructible talisman, and he didn't need to defend the gossip, naturally someone would defend him.

This is the reputation of the Great Song scholars, and Shilin's affirmation of the scholars is also an important reason why he took the initiative to remove military power. In this era, force is indispensable, but relying on force to seek power, then you are very wrong, he knows the taste.

The struggle of the outer dynasties was fierce, and without Wang Xiu's existence, Sun Fu, Tang Ge, Zhang Shuye, Li Gang and others had deepened their differences, and there was a tendency to become more and more fierce. Last year, Li Gang asked the county three times, but Zhu Ying politely rejected it, of course, it was Wang Xiu's meaning, others checked and balanced him, why didn't he check and balance others.

Wan Qi's impeachment, he didn't take it to heart at all, but Zhao Ding headed Qingliu, but he was disappointed, because Zhao Ding used to work in the maritime industry, every impeachment is appropriate, the interests are not mentioned and the disadvantages are magnified, and the return is not false that the envoy brought back, but Zhao Ding expanded the matter, which contributed to Zong Liang's southward movement.

At the same time, he also really saw clearly that what is an important minister, what is a traitor, and what is a courtier are all nonsense, and every qiē is a combination of morality and interests, which is relatively appropriate to describe it at this time and that time.

"Yizu Taizong's good governance is the foundation of the country, how can the lower officials not know, but the war disasters along the river for many years, Shaanxi years and autumn, the imperial court has reached 400,000 troops along the border, it is still not enough, where do the expenses come from" Qin Hui is in charge of the household department, very difficult

Li Gang was unaware of the drawbacks of the increase in taxes, but there were internal and external troubles, and the imperial court spent 20 million yuan on military expenditure every year to prevent the autumn, a large amount of taxes were consumed, the annual budget was overrun, and the finances were facing increasing pressure. Although the economy has recovered greatly, commerce has gradually prospered, and taxes have gradually increased, they have not been able to keep up with the heavy consumption.

He really couldn't help it, every time he was frustrated and lacked financial resources, he thought that there was a turning point in the anti-gold-shaped shì back then, and he should have gone north in one go, even if he couldn't recover Yanshan, he could also restrain the front and strive for the initiative against the Jurchen.

Wang Xiu didn't expect Li Gang to be so straightforward, he smiled indifferently, not daring to do anything about his birds.

When Sun Fu, Tang Ge and the others heard this, they all slowly breathed a sigh of relief, Li Gang's face changed slightly, and he said coldly: "Then with the intention of Lord Wang, how to solve the current situation where the imperial court is not enough"

Wang Xiu didn't expect Li Gang to be straightforward, and pulled him into the bureau, and he was not ready to answer, in the eyes of everyone, facing Zhao Chen on the throne, feeling the hot gaze behind the bead curtain, and said slowly: "The minister thinks that the endowment is to drink to quench thirst, and it is absolutely not feasible." ”

Wu Min, Qin Hui and the others breathed a sigh of relief, Li Gang's face changed slightly, and he said coldly: "With Lord Wang's intentions, how to solve the problem of insufficient support"

Wang Xiu smiled faintly, when the time came, although it was a little hasty, but the timing was right, he said confidently: "Clarify the new rank, reorganize the military system, encourage industry and commerce, and operate outside the territory." ”

The words fell, and there was silence in the hall, and the simple sixteen characters almost covered all aspects of politics, military, economy, and diplomatic relations, and everyone thought of the Xining period. Qin Hui's pupils constricted, and a thought flashed through him, Wang Wenshi had not made a sound for five years, and he was shocked
