In the main hall, the green smoke is filled, and the sound of chirping is continuous.

As soon as he heard Wang Anshi's words, Chen Hong, the son of the Great Qi Heaven, was very excited, and he pondered silently.

This Mingjiao, also known as Manichaeism, is a sect that originated in Persia, which was introduced to China through the Western Regions in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, and then took root and sprouted, prevailing in the Jiangnan area, and has quite a number of followers among the people.

However, this Mingjiao was not a stable sect, and often became a tool for peasant uprisings, such as the Chen Shuozhen uprising in Jiangnan Province in the early years of Tang Gaozong, which used Mingjiao as a foundation to cause rebellions.

In the Tang Dynasty Xuanzong Dynasty, Lu Jin, the king of Xiping County, suppressed Mingjiao on the grounds that Mingjiao was "originally an evil view, and falsely claimed that Buddhism confused Li Yuan", and destroyed countless Manichi Temples, so that Mingjiao gradually turned from public preaching to underground.

The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty lasted for hundreds of years, and Mingjiao could not do anything, but after the war in the last years of the Tang Dynasty, Mingjiao secretly developed and expanded, and it was a deep disaster in Jiangnan Province, according to rumors, its faithful believers could reach 100,000 people, and the power was really visible.

Now that the flooding on Jiangnan Road has just subsided, Mingjiao has taken advantage of this to develop believers in Jiangnan Road, and the imperial court has become a big problem.

Therefore, when Wang Anshi said that he could go to resettle the victims of the state and county disasters that were deeply affected by Mingjiao, it was a very big blow to Mingjiao.

After thinking for a while, Chen Hong quickly thought of a few shortcomings, and said in a deep voice: "Teacher, although this plan is good, but it is to solve the problem, and the vision is still not long-term enough. Second, there is also the risk of reclaiming the fields of Fuzhou and increasing the population, but I am afraid that the Western Xia and Liao countries will covet the land of Fuzhou even more, if the two countries fight grass valleys in the future, Fuzhou will bear the brunt; Third, forcibly relocate the people of Jiangnan Road to Fuzhou and force them to leave their hometowns, for fear that they will cause complaints. ”

Hearing this, Wang Anshi secretly praised in his heart that "the Son of Heaven is smart", and said with gratification: "The words of the official family are great, for the first point raised by the official, the minister feels that for the victims, when there is a lack of food and clothing, the main goal should be to survive, indeed, after the victims go to Fuzhou, there will definitely be people who suffer from diseases due to water and soil adaptation, especially some old people, especially some old people, but the two powers harm each other, the lesser of the two powers, compared to staying in Jiangnan Road and waiting for death, going to Fuzhou at least has the chance to live." As for the second point, the Liao State of Western Xia has coveted Fuzhou for a long time, and the wolf's ambition has never been extinguished, no matter whether Fuzhou is poor or rich, the two countries will not give up the idea of invading Fuzhou. ”

Hearing this, Chen Hong raised his eyebrows slightly, and said softly with worry: "Teacher, the original Zhenwu Army of 30,000 people is now no less than 50,000 people...... Is it appropriate? ”

Wang Anshi knew that the generals who had always led the army abroad were all great troubles for the imperial court, especially the martial arts clan such as the Zhe family, who held a large army and was almost hereditary.

However, it was only because Emperor Taizu led the army to attack Taiyuan and reached an agreement with the Zhe family to return to Shun, in exchange for the Zhe family to send troops to help, so the Zhe family has continued the Zhenwu army festival that was enshrined during the Tang Dynasty, so that the prestige has not diminished, and it has become an alternative in the military establishment of the Great Qi.

His mind flickered a few times, Wang Anshi arched his hand and said: "The official family, the Zhe clan used to be a big clan in the clouds, martial arts and good at riding, and the children of the clan are even more skilled in bows and horses, which is a solid force to deal with the alien races in the northern grasslands, and Lu Jin, the king of Xiping County in the Tang Dynasty, guarded the clouds with the Zhe clan, it is out of this consideration, for hundreds of years, the Zhe clan has been loyal to the imperial court, even if the situation in the last years of the Tang Dynasty was turbulent, it was also the town guard Fuzhou Linzhou to stick to the frontier, and the horses had never crossed the Yellow River to come to the Central Plains to compete for hegemony, their loyalty was at present, there is no doubt, and the expansion of the Zhenwu army, which can defend against the Western Xia Liao State. ”

Chen Hong thought for a long time, and sighed lightly: "It seems to be right, by the way, dare to ask the teacher the third good strategy?" ”

Wang Anshi said with a smile: "As for the third point, the official family, when the three emperors and five emperors, all my Han people gathered in the land of two rivers and took this as their home, and now the Han population has reached the Western Regions in the west and the sea in the east, but all kinds of things, how can it not be caused by immigrants, so as long as the third point is handled properly, then there is no need to worry." ”

Chen Hongzhen made up his mind and said: "Okay, just do what the teacher says, and ask the teacher to immediately discuss with Zhezhao and decide on the method of resettlement in other places." ”

"Obey." Wang Anshi Huo Ran got up and made it clear.

Later, he wanted to tell Chen Hong about the silver ticket that Su Shi said, but because Su Shi also did not explain the silver ticket clearly in the letter, Wang Anshi thought about it and decided to say it slowly, and there was no need to tell it immediately.

After discussing the matter, Wang Anshi sighed lightly: "Official, this Cui Wenqing has a strange strategy three times and twice, which shows that this talent is really not low, and he can be called a good person for governing the country, if it can be used by the court, it can be regarded as a blessing for the court." ”

Chen Hong nodded and smiled: "Yes, but ......" Speaking of this, the smile was helpless, "This person can't even pass the imperial examination, even if the imperial court wants to use him, it is very troublesome." ”

Wang Anshi nodded and sighed, he really couldn't understand that Su Shi mentioned in the letter that this person's humanities and knowledge were not bad, but why he did not pass the imperial examination is really incomprehensible.

Chen Hong thought for a while and said with a smile: "If the teacher is short of people and wants to use him, he can be admitted to the office by the decree of the foreign official, I don't know what you think?" If I wish, I will do it directly. ”

Wang Anshi was thrilled when he heard this, and thought for a while, but he still couldn't help but shake his head and said: "This is a move to kill chickens and take eggs, and foreign officials are not on the right path after all!" The minister felt that it was appropriate to let Cui Wenqing enter the official career from the imperial examination. ”

The so-called exile officials refer to officials who are not promoted through the imperial examination, but directly from among the outstanding officials, which also includes some donor officials.

Although the exile official can make the white person enter the officialdom immediately, according to the law of the Great Qi, the exile official can only hold the official position below the sixth rank for the rest of his life, and he can never rank in the high-ranking official rank.

That is to say, if Cui Wenqing does not go through the imperial examination from a foreign official to a senior official, no matter how hard he works and how capable he is, he will not be able to serve as a high-ranking official above the sixth rank in this life.

Since Wang Anshi felt that Cui Wenqing was a good talent, he had to consider it holistically and plan carefully, so he rejected this tempting proposal.

Chen Hong was right to think about it, and sighed lightly: "If this is the case, then I have no choice but to ask him to pass the imperial examination." ”
