Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The battle of Song and Jin can't help but change the pattern of the entire region, and it also forces the Western Xia to change its previous diplomatic strategy, because the Great Song Dynasty is not a soft persimmon, and if your mother dares to use force to intimidate the Great Song Dynasty, then you have to think clearly.
You can please both sides, but you have to rely on your strength, not your lies, your words are not true, this set of things will not work anymore, if you want to continue playing, you have to stand up yourself, not find a big brother to cover you.
Li Qi's meaning is already very obvious, that is, he will not give you any benefits, and he will force you to break with the Jin Kingdom.
Although Richard also thought about it, it was out of his power, and he could not make the decision, he had to return to China to convey the situation of the Great Song Dynasty to their monarch, and after discussion, he could decide whether to adjust this diplomatic strategy.
However, Li Qi had already made it very clear that there was no room for maneuver, and there was no point in Richard continuing to stay, so he handed in his resignation the next day and returned to China non-stop, because they had to make a choice as much as possible.
And Zhao Kai is also determined to teach the Western Xia a lesson this time, so that they will not dare to pluck the hair on the tiger's head in the future, and even go to the northwest with a few holy decrees, tell the sΓΉ family and the farmer, no matter what, they cannot have any dealings with the Western Xia, if there are existing salt smugglers, they will all be killed, and it is clear that economic sanctions will be imposed.
Of course, the adoption of economic sanctions against the Western Xia is not a good thing for the Great Song Dynasty, but Zhao Kai knows that this kind of sanctions will not last long, and the Western Xia side will definitely choose independence.
However, Zhao Kai and Li Qi also made two preparations, turning the center to the Tibetan region, hoping to absorb more Tubo regimes, so as to open up the passage with West Asia.
Other than that. Li Qi also asked Yelu Gu to secretly write a letter in his own name and send it to Yelu Dashi, mainly to express that the Great Song Dynasty was willing to hand it over to you as a friend, and to tell Yelu Dashi about some recent situation in Western Xia. This undoubtedly implies that Yelu Dashi contacted Western Xia and encouraged Western Xia to become independent.
Both the northwest and the northeast seem to be proceeding as Rich envisioned.
On this day, Li Qi finally appeared in the main hall, and saw that there were many new faces in the court, obviously these people had just been promoted, and Li Gang was also one of them. In fact, Li Gang never knew that he was demoted at the beginning, and Li Qi also contributed to it, so he also took the initiative to come forward and greet Li Qi, which made Li Qi a little embarrassed.
After the start of the early dynasty. Zhao Kai first expressed his strong dissatisfaction with the Western Xia, severely criticized the Western Xia, and then said: "I remember that I have already said earlier that I feel that the electoral system proposed by the economic envoy may help our country recover the economy faster, and this method is worth trying, and I have also decided to implement this electoral system in ten counties across the country. Last night, the economic envoy had already handed over a piece of music, and selected ten places, oh, where is the economic envoy? β
Bai Qiannuo hurriedly stood up and said, "Weichen is here." β
Zhao Kai said: "I read the piece you presented yesterday, but I haven't figured out one thing, why the place you chose is almost concentrated in the north and northwest, and only the east side occupies a place. And the south doesn't even have a quota, I don't know why you arranged it this way. β
Bai Qiannuo is now accustomed to the rhythm of this early dynasty, and he is not as nervous as the first time, and said in a calm tone: "Back to the emperor, Weichen arranged it like this." It's all about better meeting the emperor's requirements. β
"Oh? What do you mean by that? β
Bai Qiannuo said: "The emperor's move is an experiment, not really to popularize the electoral system, since it is an experiment, then of course we have to consider the test site, as we all know, the imperial court has implemented the electoral system in Jiangnan, and has achieved good results, Wechen is not sure, but at least it proves that the electoral system can work in Jiangnan, and the situation in the north is completely different from Jiangnan, it works in Jiangnan, it may not be able to prove that this law also works in the north, Wechen does not want to waste every place, The Tokyo East Route is the key to the new law, and the imperial court needs to have absolute control over it, and it is not appropriate to act rashly, so only one place has been arranged for the ministers. β
"Well, you're very thoughtful."
Zhao Kai nodded slightly, and then said, "But is that all?" β
"Of course not, Fang Cai only determined a large range, and Weichen has more detailed considerations about no county."
"Oh, then you can tell me quickly."
"Wechen obeys."
Bai Qiannuo said: "These ten locations have one thing in common, that is, they have always been very poor, but they are not the most critical strategic locations, so that the effect of the electoral system can be more highlighted, and it can avoid great damage caused by mistakes."
In addition to arranging a share on Tokyo East Road, Wechen arranged three locations north of the Yellow River and south of Yanyun, and when the Jin soldiers went south, all the people in this area moved to Tokyo East Road, and now it is a waste to be rebuilt, and every state and county has to start from scratch, this is undoubtedly the best time to experiment, because this can well see the difference between the old appointment system and the new election system, and the advantages and disadvantages of each, because everyone is in a very fair environment.
Wechen also arranged three locations in the Yanyun area, this is because although the people in the Yanyun area have been submissive to my Great Song Dynasty, but Wechen thinks that they have not really seen themselves as the people of the Great Song Dynasty in their hearts, and it will be difficult to change for a while, but this is also human nature, but this is also human nature, but the imperial court should help them, one of the key points of the electoral system is to increase the contact between the people and the official, the official represents the imperial court, once the people in the Yanyun area are fully committed to the electoral system, then they can use this to do propaganda for the imperial court, It can also strengthen the status of the imperial court in their hearts. β
Zhao Kai and a group of ministers nodded frequently when they heard this, the key to the electoral system lies in the interaction of the civil officials, the officials represent the imperial court, in other words, the interaction between the people and the imperial court, which is very necessary.
Zhao Kai said with a smile: "If I remember correctly, the remaining three locations are in Jinzhou, Fenzhou and Weizhou, what are your considerations for these three locations?" β
"This is entirely due to the relationship between the army, the government, and the people." Bai Qiannuo said: "There are troops in these three places, but they are not strategic places, and these armies are the most capable of fighting the Western Army in my Great Song Dynasty." The Western Army is the most frequently mobilized army in our Great Song Dynasty, and every time the army is moved, it will inevitably cost the people and money, and the local people have to help the army build defensive measures, and the people in these three places are very poor. But this fault cannot be attributed to the military, so the local government should take more responsibility, and Weichen wants to use this electoral system to brainstorm in the hope of finding a new way to help the people in these places get rich. At the same time, it can help the army more, which is also a very good test of the electoral system. β
"I see." Zhao Kai glanced at the ministers and said, "Do you Aiqing have any objections?" β
The ministers said in unison: "The ministers have no objections. β
The corners of Zhao Kai's mouth showed a slight smile, obviously he was very satisfied with Bai Qiannuo's statement, nodded and said, "Okay, the economy will make you do your best to draw up an implementation plan for these ten locations." β
"Wechen obeys."
Zhao Kai said again: "Do you Aiqing still have something to play?" β
A man suddenly stood up and came out. said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a book." β
"Say."
The man said: "Since the founding of the country, the world's finances have either been under the control of the three departments or the household department, but now, it has become ambiguous, and the new law is in the process of being implemented. There was a lot of obstacles. β
Li Qi frowned when he heard this, and glanced at the man slightly.
Zhao Kai also frowned and said: "Why did Hu Aiqing say this, now the finances are not all managed by the three divisions, where can this ambiguity start?" β
The man said: "What the emperor said is good, but in fact it is not, because I have experienced a catastrophe in front of the court, the already empty treasury of the guide zhì has made matters worse, and now it has already bottomed out, however. The emperor worked hard to govern the country and loved the people like a son, and could not help but exempt the Hebei region from paying taxes for one year, and also eliminated most of the taxes, although Weichen was also in favor of this. However, this also directly led to the fact that the treasury had not been restored, and even worsened, and the situation was already very serious, although the three envoys tried their best to promote the new law, but they had more than enough strength to do so, and many funds could not be allocated in time, and finally the emperor came forward and obtained money from the ordnance superintendent.
Nowadays, most of the most important financial income of our dynasty comes from the Ordnance Superintendent, but because the Ordnance Superintendent is an independent yamen, it must be opened by the emperor before it can be called, but the Ordnance Superintendent is not the third division after all, they are only in charge of weapons matters, and they do not have any power to exercise finance, nor do they have direct contact with other departments, and the three divisions that originally exercised financial power have no money, so they fall into a very passive situation, which makes things more complicated, which is very unfavorable to today's situation, so, Wei Chen built yΓ¬ to supervise the financial planning of the military to the three divisions. β
Day. Dare you to say that for a long time, I am the ordnance supervisor and want to get a piece of the pie! Richie stood up and pointed at the man, "You-you, yes, you are?" β
Zhao Kai rolled his eyes when he heard this, he was a minister in the same hall, and he didn't even know who the other party was, how could it be unreasonable!
The man bowed his hand respectfully and said, "Xia Guan is the head of the household department, Hu Yi." β
"It turned out to be Hu Shangshu, long admiration, long admiration."
Li Qi's hypocritical arch hand, this Hu Yi has just been promoted, what is there to admire for a long time. said: "For Hu Shangshu's words, I really want to call 10,000 likes, I can finally remove this heavy shackle on my shoulders, thank you so much." β
The ministers were shocked when they heard this, and secretly thought, is he going to hand over the weapons supervisor again?
Hu Yi was also a little confused, he thought that Li Qi must be opposed, how did he think that Li Qi would call 10,000 likes.
Li Qi came to the middle and said: "As we all know, before the ordnance superintendent came out independently, he had always been unable to make ends meet, not to mention the benefits brought to the imperial court, and he had to ask the imperial court for a lot of money every year, and it could even be said that it was the most expensive department in my Great Song Dynasty, but in the past, the officials of the third division, when they saw the officials of the ordnance superintendent coming, they were overjoyed, just like a mouse seeing rice." β
Chen Dong was surprised: "The officials of the Ordnance Supervision went to the Third Division to ask for money, why are the officials of the Third Division overjoyed?" β
Li Qi said: "This is very simple, the ordnance supervisor asks for money, that is a matter of course, and the imperial court will definitely allocate funds, so the officials of the three divisions will have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, not only the three divisions, but also many ministers of the DPRK and China in the past coveted the fat of the weapons superintendent, and the three divisions allocated a sum of money to the ordnance superintendent, of which at least fifty percent fell into the pockets of some people, and the household department Shangshu must be one of them." With that, he pointed his hand at Hu Yi.
Hu Yi's face turned green when he heard this, didn't you set up a blame, and hurriedly said: "I." β
"Don't get me wrong, I mean you, I just want to say, I'm not talking about you, you just took office and don't understand the market, this can't be counted on you, I'm talking about the former household book." Li Qi didn't say anything to him, and said: "Fifty percent less money, but you have to make ten percent of the weapons, so there is only one way, do you know what the way is?" β
"Cutting corners." Hu Yi blurted out.
"Clever."
Li Qi smiled and said: "These weapons that cut corners then came to the hands of the soldiers, and the soldiers took these weapons to the battlefield, but they broke off as soon as they touched them, and they were consumed very quickly, which also directly brought fatal consequences to my Great Song soldiers." But the ministers of the DPRK and China are very willing to see this qiΔ, why, because the weapons are worn out quickly, then the replenishment is also fast, if this weapon is not bad for ten years, then what reason is there for the three divisions to allocate funds to the ordnance superintendent, if they do not allocate funds, like the head of the household - don't be afraid, not to say you, these ministers will not be able to make money.
This constant cycle, the money from the treasury of the government continued to flow into someone's pocket, and it was not until the independence of the ordnance superintendent that the situation was improved, and since then, the ordnance superintendent has not asked the three divisions for a penny, but has brought millions of yuan to the imperial court every year. But I know in my heart that this situation will not last long, because it is my JianyΓ¬, many officials who have lost a huge profit, they must try their best to return the ordnance supervisor to the original track, although I don't approve, but this kind of worrying days are really too difficult, physically and mentally exhausted, walking on thin ice, and I am afraid of being beaten every day when I go out, and now Hu Shangshu You have finally opened this mouth, do you say I can be unhappy? I really agree with it from the bottom of my heart! β
Li Qi's words, Hu Yi was confused at first, but when he heard it, he suddenly woke up, this is simply "chiluo" naked planting and blaming the blame, a sweat poured down like a waterfall, and said to Zhao Kai in a panic: "Emperor Mingjian, Weichen has no such intention, no such intention, Weichen is just for the sake of my Great Song Dynasty, not for personal gain, Weichen is really wronged." β
