Chapter 800: Where to Resign
Gyeongbokgung Palace, accompanied by the inner eunuch and others, Injong walked slowly on the boulevard, walking very slowly, but he had to walk for at least an hour every day, and he had already been used to it.
Unconsciously, Renzong is 50 years old this year, and he is maintained as much as possible, but Renzong is still inevitably entering old age, at least, his steps are not so vigorous, and at the same time, his body has begun to deteriorate.
Historically, this has entered the old age of history, he died in 1063, but as early as a few years ago, there were already huge problems, serious head diseases, and even records of madness and coma.
As the most important emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, and at the same time, this is the father who crossed the body, Zhao Xin still knows and attaches great importance to Renzong.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, Renzong reigned for the longest time, but in the later period, there were many claims that he was unconscious, and there were even rumors that he was crazy.
Even if he doesn't know, after the age of 50, Zhao Xin will remind him to pay attention to his body, let alone know Renzong's situation, and later generations will prove that Renzong should have cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, plus long-term overwork.
The former can be solved with medicine, and the latter can be completed without solving, after Zhao Xin solved the problem of the Northern Song Dynasty, plus the setting of some departments, the establishment of the inner and outer government, to a certain extent, the problem was solved, Renzong's labor intensity decreased, and the worries on weekdays were also reduced, which in itself, can improve the physical condition.
Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, in later generations, it was a time bomb, in the 21st century, under the relatively developed medical conditions, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are also difficult to treat, let alone in the environment of the Northern Song Dynasty.
However, for Renzong, then you can put in all your efforts, for example, Zhao Xin's theory of traditional Chinese medicine, this theory, not only the theory of traditional Chinese medicine already existed in the Northern Song Dynasty, but also some theories of later generations, these together, are simply aimed at a noble person, not to mention anything else, no matter how rich and powerful the later generations are, it is impossible to have more than a dozen senior Chinese medicine practitioners, who have always been accompanied by the observation of the body.
Among the whole treatment methods, there are two main kinds, the first is ginkgo biloba tea, which has long been prepared for Renzong, and at the same time strengthen physical exercise, with a combination of brisk walking and running, which is almost no theory in Chinese medicine, but in later generations, nutrition and kinesiology, pay more attention to a point.
With the help of exercise, consume the fat in the body, reduce the overall fat mass, and then avoid cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, this has become the most important theoretical basis for later generations, and it is of course very well applied in this era.
At the same time, the newly built reinforced concrete palace does not have such harmful things as mercury, these are combined, coupled with the maintenance of the Tai Hospital, Renzong's body is very good, and there are some signs of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, but after continuous exercise, as well as the use of various health foods, his state, even if it is not cured, is already very good, at least he will not get sick and will not go crazy.
The relaxed mood, coupled with a certain degree of health care, comes from the concept of later generations, so that Renzong's body is far better than in history, and there is no critical situation.
Every morning and evening, choose to run at the right time, at first, Renzong was not very willing, but there were concubines and princesses staring, and Zhao Xin's expectations, in the end, he still accepted his fate.
But running is addictive, which can be seen from those who love to run in later generations, if you don't run for a day, you feel uncomfortable, Renzong has been running for so many years, and he is used to running, at the beginning, because the concubine is physically inconvenient, at most he is to walk with him, and Princess Fukang is running with him, and later, Princess Fukang got married, and she was accompanied by the inner eunuchs.
Here, I really have to mention Princess Fukang, in history, Princess Fukang got married in the second year of Jiayou, that is, in 1057, when she was only 19 years old, and married her husband who was more than ten years older than him.
This is Concubine Li, that is, the existence of Renzong's biological mother, and the main figure of the civet cat for the prince rumored in history.
This concubine in history is the son of Concubine Li's younger brother, in terms of identity, he should be regarded as the cousin of Princess Fukang, in terms of age, over ten years old, it can be said that it is not suitable at all.
Because Renzong compensated for the relationship between his mother's family, Li Wei's marriage contract with Princess Fukang was concluded very early, but now, Princess Fukang has an additional younger brother who is the emperor, and Zhao Xin follows Fukang in all aspects, not only giving a lot of wealth, but also giving Princess Fukang the position of eldest princess in the navy, and helping to persuade Renzong.
At that time, Renzong was furious, and his son interfered in his sister's marriage, which was unbearable for him, but with Zhao Xin's persuasion, the key was the concubine, after listing a series of examples, and Fukang's own wishes, in the end, this matter was over.
Even Renzong did not come forward, but Zhao Xin came forward to let the Li family take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage as the emperor of the navy, which can be regarded as a solution to a problem.
Later, at the suggestion of Zhao Xin, let Princess Fukang make some contact with the talents of the right age, among them, there are those in the Northern Song Dynasty, and there are also those in the Dinghai, and after some measurement, Fukang finally fell in love with a researcher in the Dinghai Navy, and finally became husband and wife.
The Dinghai Navy is different from the Northern Song Dynasty, there is no foreign relative who is not allowed to interfere in politics, and there is no foreign relative who can be promoted out of thin air, the eldest princess is the eldest princess, she has the eldest princess's Yulu, but the horse is the captain, there is no such thing at all in the Dinghai Navy, if he doesn't want to work, the eldest princess's Yulu, plus the property shares given by Zhao Xin, is enough for their family, but if they still want to work, there is no advantage.
Fukang finally had a good result, which is also what Zhao Xin is willing to see, according to his contact with Fukang, as well as the description of history, such a sensible lady, he really can't lose his happiness, he has also seen this researcher, it is not very good, but he is in love with Fukang, and the family is not so twisted and round, and the small life is good.
Fukang's departure is also very reluctant, but when his daughter is older, she always has to get married, plus she went to the Dinghai Navy, and the Dinghai Navy is stronger than the Northern Song Dynasty, although the Northern Song Dynasty did not have too much publicity, but most of the high-level people knew, even Renzong also understood, the son-in-law was checked by Zhao Xin, so there was no problem, before Zhao Xin interfered, he was a little angry, but in the end he turned around because of his daughter's happiness.
In the middle of running, no one comes to bother, this is customary, not to mention anything else, at least when running, big problems, don't bother.
However, at the end of the run, the inner supervisors still sent a recital, which was sent to the inner house a few hours ago, and after all the processes, no one could approve this recital, no, in the end, it was sent to Renzong.
When he saw the folds, especially when he knew Han Qi's twists and turns, Renzong knew it, wiped his sweat with a towel, and then found a stool to sit down and looked at the folds seriously.
The twists and turns are not long, but they are very literary, and in the end, after reading the recital sent by Han Qi, Renzong is also helpless, this year, with his getting older and older, coupled with the weakening of energy and other aspects, he is actually declining in control of the court, which is also what he is happy to see.
Han Qi mastered the court very well, which made Renzong worry a lot, but this time the economic problems were so turbulent, to be honest, some of Han Qi's previous methods, especially some radical methods, were vetoed by Renzong, otherwise, the problem would not have intensified to this extent.
The deterioration of the financial situation of the Northern Song Dynasty, to put it bluntly, is beyond its means, why is it beyond its means? You must know that the fiscal revenue of the Northern Song Dynasty, from the beginning of the fourth year of Qingli to the present, has increased by nearly 20 times, what kind of expenditure will swallow such a large amount.
The reason is still in Renzong's body, the reason why Renzong is called Ren, and it was recognized at the time, is because he has a good heart, and at the beginning, he also knew that to avoid a recurrence of the crisis, there was some restraint, but the income was getting more and more, and his hands and feet were bigger.
This big hand and foot does not refer to Renzong himself, how much Renzong can spend in a day, just Zhao Xin gave it, he can't spend it all.
His big hands and feet were aimed at the entire Northern Song Dynasty, which itself already had the largest bureaucratic system in the entire feudal era of China, and later, the gradual development, especially the establishment of various temporary institutions, arranged a large number of them, which together are a very large number.
Of course, the expansion of the bureaucratic team, as long as it is slightly stabilized, will not form a huge problem, at least it will not be as difficult to clean up as it is now, but Renzong has raised the salaries of officials more than 30 times in just 10 years.
After all, the exchanges between the two countries are very close, and many things have been conveyed on the side of the Dinghai Navy, among which the salary of employees is the most important point.
There is no reason, you are a kind of high-ranking official, or even an ordinary worker's salary is not as good, plus the Dinghai Navy produces a lot of daily necessities and convenient items, which is equivalent to opening up a new market, under the premise of the same salary, there are more expenses, and it is okay to participate in the governor's high-ranking officials, or the family is rich, and some low-level officials from poor families are already difficult to live in Bianliang.
However, Renzong's promotion is a bit too large, and he has been promoted again and again, and now, compared with the salary of Qingli for four years, the overall range has increased by 16 times, although it has not reached the extent of 20 times, but with the increase in the number of officials and the increase in expenditure in all aspects, this is the root cause of making ends meet.
Han Qi is also very clear about this, the solution proposed at that time is very simple, that is, to reduce the salary, no need to reduce much, as long as the overall range is above, reduce 1 percent, it is enough to get through this difficulty, 1 percent of the salary cut, but to reduce the overall deficit by about 25 million, from the maximum deficit of 50 million, there is still a little distance, but as long as you persist for two or three years, with the current growth rate, you can eat the deficit.
As for the loss in the past two or three years, at best, it is about 100 million, this money, not to mention the savings, even if it is moved slightly, with the capital volume of the Northern Song Dynasty, this matter can be solved.
The reduction of 1 percent is not a lot for the relatively high salaries at present, even if it is a middle- and low-level official, they can survive in Bianliang, at most, it is a little inconvenient.
Of course, the traditions of the Chinese can rise, but they cannot fall, and the resulting turmoil and hatred, Han Qi is willing to follow, even in his name.
However, all these good things were vetoed when they came to Renzong, and Renzong was not allowed to do this, which was not only a stain on Han Qi, but also Renzong's.
Because of this, this matter is not easy to deal with, Han Qi has worked hard several times, although he has made some gains in some projects, but hundreds of thousands, millions of runs, this can be regarded as a huge amount of money in the people, for the deficit of the entire Northern Song Dynasty, it is nothing at all, several efforts have not achieved much, but almost went wrong, and in the end, this matter has come to an end.
When the crowd was excited, there was only one way for Han Qi, and in the many impeachments before, Renzong protected Han Qi, not only because of his trust in Han Qi, but also because Han Qi was equivalent to taking Renzong to accept it, but now, Han Qi took the initiative to resign, so he had to pay attention to it.
However, after reading the entire resignation fold, Renzong also showed a smile, because Han Qi not only resigned, he resigned from the position of prime minister, not completely abandoning all official positions, but in terms of appointment and dismissal after resignation, he did not follow the usual path of the Northern Song Dynasty.
In order to give the prime minister, or to participate in the governor's affairs, the Northern Song Dynasty adopted the way of governorship, and after leaving office, the governor or the first assistant would know a government, and the level was still the original level, but the scope of jurisdiction was greatly reduced, which could be regarded as giving them a new way.
Himself, Renzong also considered that if Han Qi left his job, where would he go, whether it was some prefectures in Hebei or Henan, there were many good places, and even Renzong was still waiting, this matter, after the limelight passed, he would get Han Qi back.
Han Qi did not want to take this road, but chose another one, no longer knew a state, but went directly to the Dinghai Navy, he was going to serve as the ambassador of the Northern Song Dynasty to the Dinghai Navy, and coordinate diplomatic work.
Renzong hadn't figured it out at first, but after a little turn of his mind, he understood that Han Qi's purpose was not this ambassador, but the advantage of the ambassador, the current problem of the Northern Song Dynasty, in the Northern Song Dynasty, there was no way to go, but what if it was the Dinghai Navy? Compared with salary, compared with expenditure, Dingjun has more than the Northern Song Dynasty, and Dingjun has not seen this deficit, so there must be a solution, and Han Qi is going for this purpose.
