Chapter 1032 is very large

On the third day of March of the third year of Yuanfeng, Wang Qi played: "The ministers and leaders of the Xiangding official system are examined, and they think that the big one will establish three provinces: the Chinese book makes life, and there is no way to do things; The door is reviewed, and there are French things; Shangshu pursues it. ”

"And they were divided into classes, and each one got his job. Therefore, they are divided into powers, and they examine each other, and this reform is also the name of the great unification. ”

"The following reform of the selection system, the flow of officials, and the appointment of ministers, are subject to the quality of the official position;"

"Under that, the official system contained in the "Six Classics of the Tang Dynasty" will be implemented, and the three provinces, the Privy Council, and the six Cao Tiao system will be promulgated, and the new system will be implemented according to the new system."

"From the Tang Dynasty to the present, it has been a hundred years; The two dynasties were abandoned, and it will be proved by examination. Although the country and the dynasty are unified and the affairs are complicated, it can be completed in two years from top to bottom, with ministers in mind. ”

Zhao Ji was satisfied with the timetable and operation steps, and nodded: "It's hard work." ”

Wang Jue continued: "The major event of restructuring affects the government and the people, and shakes China and foreign countries. The minister thinks that faith should be the first and deeds should be revealed. Therefore, we should first take the one that is easy, the big one, and then the difficult one, and the fine one. ”

"Shang martingale standing wood, Yanzhao city bone."

"Therefore, the ministers and other miscellaneous Tang Dynasty and early Song Dynasty old system, with the original scattered officials to open the palace with the three divisions below, set as the twenty-fourth order, especially on the "Yuanfeng Jiluge", for His Majesty's imperial judgment. Beggar first, to be official. ”

Zhao Ji opened it and looked at it, nodded and said: "Wang Xianggong Gao Feng Liang Festival, this "Jilu Ge", to the ministers of Yuan Bi to respect Chonglong, Shen Fu I hope, so let's do it." ”

really deserves the four words of Gao Feng Liangjie, Wang Jue himself is not a high rank, and after changing officials with ranks, he actually has to suffer a small loss.

But for those old ministers, old ministers such as Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi, and Lu Gong wrote about them, and the transfer of rank officials has long been accumulated to a very high level, so Zhao Ji said that "Jiluge" promotes the ministers of Yuan Bi, which is indeed a fact.

Wang Jue was secretly happy in his heart, bowed down and said, "Receive the holy decree." ”

……

Although Su You's position has not yet come down, he is also very busy.

After Zhang Dian's third thank you was rejected, he obediently accepted the post of governor of the fourth edict and became the last member of the Standing Committee of the Great Song Dynasty.

But something strange happened here in Su You, after the third thank-you table went up, the fourth edict, that is, the official edict, was delayed.

Su You didn't care either, so he went to the official horse farms around Bianjing to investigate.

The suburbs of Bianjing in the spring season are full of scenery.

There are pastoral supervisors in the suburbs of Bianjing, which are under the jurisdiction of the Department of Pastoral Affairs.

The herd department was set up in the Song, Liao, and Western Xia governments, and was in charge of the state's horse breeding, breeding, training, use, purchase, exchange, and other affairs.

The government has a herd herd system envoy, a group of herd deputy envoys, group herd supervisors, etc.

Those two countries were originally nomadic countries, and the herd divisions of the people were the "foundation of the first soldier and the great benefit of the country".

In the Great Song Dynasty, there were no less than three institutions that managed Ma Zheng alone, but they did not receive any good results.

Taifu Temple, in charge of the royal family's horses. "Concubines, princes, princesses, consuls should give the occupants of the car. Depending on the rank, it will be tributed. "Qiji Courtyard is a department dedicated to raising horses for the royal family.

The herd department is in charge of the breeding and calling of the country's horses. That is, "the state of the stable herds, the chariot of the government", the post pass, the military, the mine supervisor with horses, mostly from here to transfer.

The Tea and Horse Division manages the city horses. In addition, there is also the treatment of sick and old horses, as well as the institutions that supervise horse herding and the private horse breeding system, which is mainly responsible for civil and civil recruitment.

There are many politics, and it is very characteristic of the Great Song Dynasty.

But although there are many mothers-in-law, horses are never well raised.

Taifu Temple has the world's first-class good horses, often obtained at any cost, but after arriving at Qiji Temple, to serve the royal family, the first thing is to tame.

Removing the balls and turning the horse into a slow pet is the primary goal of Qijiyuan.

And they did.

The herd husbandry department is also very hard, and if it wants to raise horses in the interior, it uses the traditional horse breeding method, which naturally attracts the resistance of local officials and ordinary people.

The most important thing is that the officials of the Herding Division have such vast and abundant land resources, and it is the state to raise horses and grow grain for themselves, so isn't it more fragrant to farm the land?

So in their prelude, the official land was privately divided, people were floating, the land of the official horse farm was in the account books, in fact, most of it was encroached upon by the people's land, and the local officials and the common people did not cooperate, as a result, the pasture land and farmland were not clear at all, and there was no way to raise horses well, so the ministers tried their best......

In this context, although there are horse supervisors in Kansai, Hebei and Hedong, the number of slaughters is pitiful.

Taking the Shayuan Supervisor of Tongzhou as an example, there are more than 9,000 hectares of pastures, and the annual consumption is 400,000 yuan, but there are only more than 6,000 horses, and there are only more than 40 horses when the year is the lowest!

If it weren't for the fact that Ma Zheng was so unbearable, Wang Anshi would not have made up his mind to carry out the horse protection law - sell the horse farm and raise horses by the private sector instead, the government has a horse breeding subsidy, and the horse government will buy it back.

As a result, the farmland area complained - a horse, "50 acres of waste water and grass", such a high land occupancy rate, if you die, you have to pay for it, so you can still raise it, isn't this crazy?

The government uses the grazing land to grow grain, why can't we? After contracting the land of the original official horse farm, of course, it was mainly to grow grain, and as for raising horses...... Oh, don't make a fuss! Wait until we're full before we die!

As a result, only one-sixth of the horses slaughtered from the Great Song Dynasty and the people were selected, and only one-sixth of them could become rideable mounts, and the rest were still considered military horses, but in fact they could only be used as post horses.

Just like Cai Qushang said in his recital to Zhao Ji, "The 12 prisons in Henan and the north, from Xining for two to five years, have 1,640 horses at the age of 1,640, and can give 264 cavalrymen, and the rest is only enough for postal transmission."

The South is even more unbearable.

On the coast of Fujian, on the outer islands of Quanzhou, Fuzhou, and Xinghua Army, there are eleven pastures. But these horses are called Zhouyu horses, which are unbearable to equip and can only be used as stagecoaches;

In South China, the horses from Liangguang, plus the horses traded by the Great Song Dynasty with the Southwest Yi and Dali, are also mostly inferior, and the shoulder height can reach the minimum standard of four feet and two inches, which is the minimum standard of the Great Song Dynasty war horse, and there are only one or two out of a hundred.

This kind of horse is called the fetter horse - a large part of the reason why the Great Song Dynasty court bought these horses was to win people's hearts and restrain the southwest.

As for the plateau horses bought from the Qingtang Domain, they were prone to illness after coming down from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and they were not suitable for fighting in the plains.

Therefore, it is pure nonsense not to fundamentally solve the problem, but to rely on the private contract responsibility system to continuously feed a large number of war horses with energy.

As a result, there is almost a consensus in the Song Dynasty, that is, the Song Dynasty raised horses and had innate weaknesses - "Northern Hebei, Yan, and Dai, born of horses, and feared by Hu Rong".

The really best horse breeding grounds that can supply war horses in large quantities can only be the northeast and northwest.

From north to south and from west to east, the quality of horse breeds decreases sequentially.

That is, the so-called "wild of the north of the thistle", "sweet and cool river loop", must get "the alpine land, there are long mountains and big valleys, beautiful grass and sweet springs, thousands of miles of open land, and all animals breed also." ”

The Han and Tang dynasties both owned these two lands in order to form large-scale cavalry troops.

However, after the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, one of these two places had already been seized by the Khitans, while the other was in the hands of the party members. Although each generation of emperors encouraged horse breeding throughout the country, little was achieved.

The climate in the south of the Yangtze River is not suitable for raising horses, such as the Raozhou Breeding Prison, during the Xining period, "there were 562 peony horses, and 5 out of 300 were killed, and 7 out of 20 were made into the foals".

In a few years, less than 300 of the 562 horses were raised, which is really laughable.

Therefore, some people use this as a basis for thinking, "It is not natural to give birth to diseases, because they are contagious." ”

If a horse gets sick, it will infect a herd within a month, causing a large number of deaths.

However, in the final analysis, these are still technical problems, and there is a serious drawback in the Department of Herding - it has not managed Ma Zheng much in the past ten years, and people are now acting as the function of the National Development and Reform Commission!

When Wang Anshi first entered Beijing, he received the title of herd pastor, and has been playing a pioneering role in reform there since then.

Later, Lu Huiqing went to Sinong Temple, so the Qunmu Division and Sinong Temple became the place where the new law was formulated.

The people inside are also big people who have the world in mind, astronomy and geography moral articles, and they know everything, except for raising horses and farming.

The name is not deserved, and it is also very big.
