Chapter 948: No Rainbow All the Way
Zhao Ding is indeed a person with a good reputation and a good official reputation, so after Lin Yu hit the street, there was no resistance at all to Zhao Ding's visit to Kaifeng Mansion.
After all, he was going to let him go at the beginning, but at that time, Gao Fangping directly made a mistake, and went to the middle school to take away the documents for Zhao Ding's promotion, saying that it was immature and still needed to be weighed.
Now that the Great Demon King is no longer oppressive of Zhao Ding, a person with such a good reputation is really free from the oppression of Wuzhi Mountain, and he jumped up in an uproar, and entered the official level on the grounds of Jiangzhou's political achievements, waiting for the holy decree of Kaifeng Mansion to be issued.
Yes, the appointment of Kaifeng Mansion Yin requires a holy decree.
Convincing the emperor is also simple. Although Zhao Ji doesn't know which green onion Zhao Ding is, Xiao Zhao was Zhang Shuye's protégé in the early days, and before Pork Ping's debut, he was regarded by Zhang Shuye as the future prime minister. Then regarding Zhao Ding's appointment, after Gao Fangping persuaded Cai Jing to sign, it became a suggestion to the emperor by Zhongshu's subordinates.
Zhang Shuye, who had the final say at the moment, took the "suggestion" to persuade the emperor, so Zhao Ji would sign it heartlessly, and it would become a holy decree.
Zong Ze has begun to preside over the work of the Ministry of Industry, but there are still some troubles in the name. Zhao Ji did not sign for a long time to add him to the title of secretary of the Ministry of Industry. Because Zong Ze's reputation is much worse than Zhao Ding's, he scolded the court for his bad deeds of scolding the royal family more than once.
Shangshu also required an appointment from the emperor to take effect. As for Xiao Li Gang, it is simple, and he doesn't need to go through Zhao Ji. Because he is still young and has few qualifications, even if he was the champion and the first at the beginning, he is not suitable for the current appointment of Shangshu. So since it is not a Shangshu, but just Zuo Shilang, when there is not much difference in official ranks, Zhongshu can be appointed, that is to say, after Cai Jing, Gao Fangping, Liang Zimei and others sign, Li Gang can preside over the work of the household department when there is no Shangshu title.
This process doesn't even require He Zhizhong and Zhang Shuye to sign. He Zhizhong's signature was not needed because even if he objected, it would not affect Li Gang's appointment. The reason why Zhang Shuye is not needed is that the household department is a provincial department, not the Privy Council, and he does not need to participate in this kind of appointment.
These things are basically settled now, and it is time for Gao Fangping to leave.
It's the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, and it's really time to hit the road. I thought that I had promised to prepare a pot of turbid wine in Bianjing to meet Xiao's Lilan. But now she hasn't arrived, and there is a fast horse report that the girl thinks that the flower world of the Great Song Dynasty is too novel, so she walks slowly, travels all the way to the mountains and rivers, but burns incense whenever she encounters a temple, so she has not entered the Daimyo's mansion now. Then Gao Fangping really didn't wait for her.
Fortunately, she didn't have much business here, just a return visit to deepen the ties between Song and Liao.
Then use her gimmick of believing in Buddhism, worship Buddha all the way as a beautiful queen, and finally bring the relics to the Daxiangguo Temple in Bianjing, with the help of Zhao Ji's still some Liaophobia now, to a certain extent, Zhao Ji's dependence on Taoist priests, so as not to violate the tone of the Great Song Dynasty's lenient treatment of religion, and at the same time balance Buddhism and Taoism.
There is no need for Gao Fangping to participate in these things, Xiao's Lilan is the queen, and Zhao Ji personally took Zhao Jinnu and her mother to receive her. Behind them, Uncle Zhang and Wenbin are in control, so there will be no moths.
said that there would be no moths, but Gao Fangping still wrote to Xiao's Lilan with anxiety, and said frankly in the letter: "The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty has an easy-going personality, likes novelties, and is an admirer of appearance. But all beautiful people, whether they are men or women, our emperor will be very close. Therefore, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty will definitely like Xiao's Lilan Niangniang, and will talk to you during the visit and contact you many times. According to the experience of the minister Gao Fangping and you in Liao, your set of Buddhist theories almost brainwashed me, so if you are a friend, you can properly mention Buddhist theories to our emperor, but remember not to go deeper, just stop at the point. What I want is balance, if I hear in Chengdu Mansion that the emperor has changed to believe in Buddhism and wants to hold a Thousand Buddhas Conference, then I will be very angry, and the consequences will be very serious. ”
This letter was sent by Han Shizhong himself, and I don't know what Xiao's Lilan expression was when he received the letter? It will hurt her feelings to a certain extent, but it can't be so much, it's not a trivial matter, so I can only be rough and let her know it for the first time.
Otherwise, Gao Fangping still remembers the three-day send-off banquet in Liao, surrounded by that beautiful woman for three days, talking about Buddhist theories. Gao Fangping almost signed an unfair labor contract with the Buddha like the fool of Sun Wukong.
Xiao's Lilan may not be as good as Lin Lingsu in brainwashing ability, but she is a big beauty, and she has the aura and style of a powerful queen, so if Zhao Ji is brainwashed, as long as there is enough time, Xiao's Lilan's lethality is not lower than Lin Lingsu.
So Gao Fangping threatened her with hatred again, so he could only slowly find an opportunity to give Queen Xiao a sweet date in the future.
Lao Xiao Xiangye is taboo against Queen Xiao, so this time the Great Demon King threatens Queen Xiao, Lao Xiao will definitely be very satisfied, and will help Gao Fangping wipe his ass, this is politics......
"It's finally coming."
"Yes, the big pork is about to enter Chengdu, and maybe the winter of our Chengdu people is about to pass."
"I'm going to sleep, you guys continue to set up the dragon gate array."
"I'm so excited, I didn't expect that Chengdu, a closed place, could also usher in a big celebrity like Pork Ping."
"He has a big voice among the people, and his official reputation is not bad in the common people's world, the only hateful thing is that he hates Wen Qing, and I don't know if he will destroy Du Fu's thatched cottage after he comes?"
"No way, no matter how big his brain is, it won't be so bad."
"I heard that he likes to bully children and harm beautiful women, I don't know if it's true?"
"It seems that there have been such bad deeds, but I heard that he is good now."
"Don't hold him to the standards of a saint. I heard that the most powerful thing about him is that he can make a place rich, have a lot of pork and eggs, and no one will starve to death. ”
"We have no shortage of food in Chengdu."
"However, we are short of money, and now it is popular to build roads if you want to get rich, and he came to build the legendary railway, and I heard that we can sell our surplus materials in the future, and then exchange them for many magical things. Do you know why Jiangzhou is already very developed and rich in materials, but we can't afford to buy Jiangzhou manufacturing? Because it can't be shipped in, the freight is too high after coming in, so we can't afford it. ”
In a blink of an eye, Gao Fangping's prestige among the people is getting bigger and bigger, and there are a lot of fan groups, but many people are already looking forward to his arrival before he arrives in Chengdu.
In this southwestern borderland, in fact, the influence of the Zhao family's imperial power is not even as great as that of Gao Fangping. There are a few people who don't even know who the current emperor is, but they know that there is a pork flat in the Great Song Dynasty.
Strongman politics is like this, whoever is strong will be easy for everyone to remember. This is especially true for Chengdu people. For example, from the etiquette point of view, Liu Bei is the emperor and is buried with Zhuge Liang, and the emperor gives priority to this place, which should be called Han Zhaolie Temple.
However, that is only the history book and the official caliber, but among the people, the common people of Chengdu do not buy Liu Bei's account much, but the place is called Wuhou Temple, and this tradition has lasted for nearly two thousand years.
Pork Ping is big, so he hasn't entered Chengdu yet, and the fan group's mentality towards him is actually the mentality towards Zhuge ......
The road into the river is especially difficult to walk, and the progress is very slow.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has long passed, and it has entered the end of September, and Gao Fangping's team has just entered Jinzhou.
In addition to the 15,000 cavalry of Bi Shijing's department, there were more than 50,000 mountain people brought out by Cangzhou. In addition, there were more than 3,000 young soldiers, craftsmen, and science party members mobilized from Jingxian, Daimyofu, Jiangzhou, and other places, and these young intellectuals who were mobilized to support the construction of the frontier.
This huge team of more than 70,000 plus more than 10,000 military horses is simply a group of big rice buckets, and the supply of grain and grass can make the states and counties along the way regard Gao Fangping's team as a plague god.
Nowhere else would the government dare to host this team. Unless there is a war, this is a rare migration in the history of the Great Song Dynasty.
According to the rules of the Great Song Dynasty, after obtaining the marching order from the Privy Council, except for carrying a small amount of base food, the supply had to be carried out in the state capital along the way. It is easy to say that no matter how big the burden on the local government is, it is necessary to let the forbidden army of the imperial court eat.
After Bi Shijing's department eats something, he will sign "how much grain has eaten in a certain state", and then report it to the transfer envoy along the way, and then the household department will give a reduction or exemption when collecting local money and grain.
This is how the logistics system of the Great Song Dynasty operated. Otherwise, the biggest loss in this era is transportation, if the military rations are directly mobilized from the central government, according to the urine of the Great Song Dynasty, 1,000 tons of grain will be transported from Bianjing, and there will be a maximum of 200 tons left when it arrives in Chengdu.
Yes, there is such a frenzied attrition, and the official reason is that the food was eaten up by the escort team on the way. Of course, it will also be mixed with a large part of corruption and other losses.
So in view of the awesomeness of the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty, the parents and officials are not afraid of the military. So wherever the Central Forbidden Army went, they ate wherever they went. This can not only limit the actions of the army, but also effectively reduce the attrition of the march. But the shortcomings are also obvious, such a supply mechanism is difficult to support large-scale marching and maneuvering, and the war potential is quite limited.
Due to the inefficiency of the bureaucratic system, and then to the underdeveloped productive forces of ancient times, each state had limited food of its own. Therefore, in addition to helping the emperor collect money and grain, the transfer envoy sent by the imperial court also responded to this situation, and the transfer envoy had the right to mobilize the money, grain and transportation capacity of multiple states for overall planning.
For example, at that time, the 400,000 troops of Western Xia invaded the Song Dynasty, and the clouds of the country were overshadowed, in order to be efficient, Zhao Ji appointed Gao Fangping as the transfer envoy of the northern capital, which means that as long as the battle of Song and Xia can be won, the money and grain of the entire north will not pass through the imperial court, but will be concentrated in the hands of Gao Fangping.
As a result of these systems, Bi Shijing was able to eat public food. However, the tens of thousands of mountain dwellers and teenagers who are the largest group, not in the establishment, bring their own lunch boxes, and the poor state government has no ability to allocate grain and grass for them to eat on the road, and the state government with surplus food is unwilling to let these tens of thousands of people eat because of their own interests.
Just kidding, I don't want to change to Gao Fangping. These guys are not in the establishment, and after eating, the court will not admit the bills when they hand them over.
So this is the reason why it is difficult to travel this time, just to coordinate everyone's eating problems along the way, it consumes most of Gao Fangping's energy.
Gao Fangping's entourage is to help them solve the money, food and political problems among the bureaucrats, as for the rest, there is no need for Gao Fangping to worry about it at all, Bi Shijing's department and the Junior Army can manage the entire team in an orderly manner and with high morale.
In the case of changing people, changing the previous situation of the court and politics, it is impossible for anyone to have the ability to move with such a team without robbing. For example, if Zhao Tingzhi planned to build Chengdu Mansion like this, Cai Jing would definitely have the ability to make this team starve to death on the road or mutiny, and no one made mistakes in this process and would not be held accountable.
Fortunately, the current imperial court is much healthier than before, and in addition, Xiao Li Gang presided over the work of the household department, although it violated the Great Song Dynasty system, Li Gang still issued a document along the way, so that they had to solve the problem of "railway soldiers" to a certain extent. Although the so-called railway soldiers in the system are not legal, in politics Gao Fangping said that there is such a group, so sooner or later he will have it.
Therefore, although Li Gang could not openly reduce or exempt the policy of money and grain for the localities along the way, he implicitly promised that all the state capitals involved in solving the problem of food for the railway soldiers would give a certain preference to other household policies.
The rest depends on Gao Fangping to coordinate with them.
Coordinating an egg still has to be paid.
To put it bluntly, although Gao Fangping has the position of prime minister, he is not their leader now. Since Chengdu Mansion wants this group of people, Chengdu Mansion has to pay for this group of people who eat.
So my mother hasn't gone to the Chengdu Mansion yet, and now I already owe a lot of money to rogue governors like Bazhou Yangzhou. It was Gao Fangping who personally signed the white slip, which is equivalent to the money that Chengdu Government owes to these states, and it needs to be repaid with Chengdu Government's finances later.
can't fix these second-rate people, it just so happens that these awesome people who are not afraid of Gao Fangping are the backbone of the local parents. They bite the rules, for the sake of food security, and say that this is your own business, and it is not the business of Lao Tzu, so what can you do.
As for those old fox corrupt officials who see the wind and rudder, it's simple, Gao Fangping's team hasn't arrived, they have already scavenged the people's fat and ointment in order to pretend to be forced, set up an open-air canteen, and go out of the city ten miles to welcome the red Gao Fangping. After eating and drinking, Gao Fangping wanted to sign a white slip for them, but they refused with a smile, showing that they were capable and not bad for money.
This is all that is the work of the world. So all the way to Jinzhou, most of them came by eating and drinking. Since it is rubbing, they can't eat enough, although those who are full of brains are not bad for money, but if they eat too much, the wool comes out of the sheep, and their local people will be under great pressure.
