The 23 roads originally owned by the Northern Song Dynasty were basically inherited from the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, as well as the administrative divisions of the late Tang Dynasty, and later, some were divided, and there were also recovering territories and the like, for example, from the northwest and from Youyun.

The 16 states of Youyun, it sounds many, but in fact it is not big, the road of the Northern Song Dynasty itself includes these many states, for example, Jingdong East Road, including Qi, Lu, Mi, Yi, Deng, Lai, Wei, Zi, this is almost the land of Shandong in later generations.

After Youyun was taken, according to a certain classification, it was divided into Hedong Road and Hexi Road, corresponding to Youyun respectively, which was regarded as adding two new roads, plus Longyou Road, which took the land of Western Xia, several new roads were added, and together, there were more than 30 roads in the entire administrative division, plus some less important armies, there were almost more than 40.

These have covered all the territories of the Northern Song Dynasty, including all the original and new, and almost represent the entire Northern Song Dynasty, all the local forces.

There are more than 30 provinces, of course, it is impossible for every province to come, some border military states are not too big in themselves, and the human resources are not particularly rich, so they did not come, and some of them were cleared out of the mainstream circle, they did not come, but a total of 27 representatives of the provinces came.

Some Taoists are just some representatives, but those who can come on behalf of others are not old qualifications.

The tradition of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zai Fu took turns, and he did it, almost the top of the courtiers, but except for a few Zaifu, there were a few people who could do it for a long time, as short as a few months, and as many as three or five years.

It can be said unceremoniously that since Renzong has matured, to be precise, since Lu Yijian, basically, he has been adjusting the direction of the court in the process of constant replacement, and it will be two or three years at most.

Shoufu represents the pinnacle of civil officials, and the position of Shoufu goes up and down, or he returns to his hometown, which is the fate of most of the Shoufu before Lu Yijian, unless he is old and can't walk, and he can't manipulate the government.

But after arriving at Lu Yijian, Renzong is simply a replacement of the marquee, this large number of slaughterers, coming down from this position, what are they going to do, some young, only in their fifties, can't tell the old man to return to his hometown.

This point is difficult for the Northern Song Dynasty, and soon, the title of Zai Fu to know a certain state began to appear, they participated in political affairs, and even as a duke, they served as the governor of a state, and their rights shrank a lot, and the actual position was not high, but the level was high.

Just like in later generations, the Politburo members concurrently served as mayors of non-municipalities directly under the central government, which made people dare not look at it directly, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was a natural existence.

This has created a large number of people with old qualifications and knowledge of local states, perhaps inferior to Han Qi in terms of rights, but they are still qualified, and there are many people who are older than Han Qi.

Standing in front of Han Qi are two former first assistants, namely Du Yan and Yan Shu, Du Yan is in September of the fourth year of Qingli, with the same Zhongshu Sect Pingzhang and Privy Envoy, Jixian Hall Scholar, it can be said that the East and West Mansion shoulders the shoulder, and the whole force is monstrous.

Yan Shu's qualifications are a little earlier than Du Yan's, he was the governor before Du Yan, and he was the Jiaping chapter in July of the second year of Qingli.

They have not reigned for a long time, Yan Shu has two years, and Du Yan only did the first assistant during the day because of the Qingli New Deal he supported, and then he was removed from the first assistant to know the place.

But qualifications are qualifications, and even the time when they entered the center was much earlier than Han Qi.

Du Yan is currently known as Yanzhou, Yan Shu is currently in Chenzhou, in fact, in the current state capital, there is also a Pingzhang matter, that is, the former first auxiliary chapter is like.

Zhang Dexiang is not very stable, facing the threat of Jia Chaochang, but there is finally a certain amount of time, according to history, he can still do it for a period of time before he is replaced by Jia Chaochang.

Han Qi suddenly rose to prominence and became the first assistant a long time in advance, even Jia Chaochang was pressed, Zhang Dexiang of course wanted to give up his position, he was sentenced to know Chuzhou, he also went, basically in a semi-secluded state, almost nothing, this time of course, the local transfer envoy was also invited, but Zhang Dexiang felt that he had no friendship with Han Qi, and he was a direct opponent, so he simply did not come.

In addition to the two first assistants, who have been privy envoys, there are more people who participate in political affairs, and some old ones even participated in political affairs 20 years ago, but when Lu Yijian controlled them, their qualifications were even older, although these people were only governors, but their titles were more terrifying than the other.

There are as many as 7 people who simply have the title of Duke of the country, and as long as they are Zhishi, they must all be super officials such as the prince and the prince.

Even if Han Qi is pretentious, it is impossible to offend all these people, they are no longer in power, but the power of the horizontal and vertical forces should not be underestimated.

Where there are people, there are factions, not to mention, scholars, from the teacher, to the same year, classmates, fellow villagers and other relationships, as well as in-laws, godparents, mentors and apprentices, etc., forming an intricate network, this network is so big that even the prime minister dare not touch it easily, not to mention the qualifications of these people, there are many, and even Han Qi has to call a teacher, a filial piety, it is enough to make Han Qi helpless.

These snowflakes-like twists and turns, Han Qi already knows, there will be these old qualifications, if once the first assistant, even this can't be done, then it will really be unstable, he still threw out 30% of the conditions, just to bargain.

30% is definitely not the ultimate condition he requires, facing the trembling and some of the old men who can't even walk the road, but the combat effectiveness of these bosses is very strong, and the spitting stars are flying around, and they are all sprayed on his face.

Under the strategy, Han Qi gave face one by one, and took the initiative to reduce the ratio, two into five, two into two, one into five, almost doubled.

Han Qi, who seems to be very talkative, to this extent, Han Qi will not let it, these officials are very helpless, if they can, who is willing to give away what they have in hand, for nothing, but Han Qi also said that this money, for the time being, there is no place for the states and counties to spend money, and now the center has opened a huge canal system project, and it needs money, so it supports the center first, and then after the center has money, it can be paid back in the form of tax burden reduction or appropriation.

Once the first assistant, or as strong as Han Qi, when he had a straight face, except for a few old qualifications, who dared to face it, the conditions were put down, and they were reduced a lot, and then, it depends on everyone's choice, whether to continue to lower, or to agree.

There are more people, it is not only the courage of the group, but also the differentiation, the first thing that can't bear it is the northwest, they themselves, it is more difficult, even if it is the northwest developed by Han Qi, they have caught up with the average line at most, the reason why there is such a big improvement, most of the original low relationship, counting the average value of the population territory, it is really not as good as the Central Plains.

To put it bluntly, there is nothing else except people, when the popular pastures of the navy, there are also large farms, especially more and more machinery and equipment, in fact, there is a relative surplus of personnel.

Exporting surplus personnel, you can still make money and change the financial situation of the entire state capital, the most important thing is that the northwest is still Han Qi's own land, for money, he was helped by others, and with the help of the courage, he dared to stand in front of Han Qi.

When Han Qi has been lowered and unmistakably stated that this is the bottom line, who dares to blow up the thorns, that is, a few of the oldest qualified governors and even the first assistant, not to mention, the quota and the proportion of the draw have not yet been decided.

really blow up the thorns, or let Han Qi be cornered, just flip the table, when the time comes, the three draws you requested, five draws of one, directly change it to ten, twenty, or even thirty, then it will be over.

In fact, in this matter, not only these officials in the northwest think, but also the Central Plains, and even the two bigwigs are also thinking that it is okay to rely on the old and sell the old, but the persecution is too much, it is not good, when they are arguing, they are also weighing and testing Han Qi's bottom line.

Han Qi's city, how deep it is, it doesn't give them a chance to observe at all, the previous reduction has always been silent, but when it came to this 1 into 5, it stopped, although it didn't show a violent voice, but in his words, it was quite firm.

One into five rake, this is a little more, but not as abrupt as the previous thirty into the commission, the most important thing is that the northwest has retreated, and its move has directly affected several other roads, for example, the southwest and southeast, after a few roads in the northwest retreated, they also retreated.

In an instant, like a chain reaction, the attitude of showing one after another, when most of the more than 30 Dao Dao retreated, what is the point of persevering.

Soon, they all flinched, at this time, the few old qualifications who rushed to the head were also human spirits, of course they knew the truth of accepting when they saw it, Du Yan and Yan Shu were the leaders, and after holding on a little, they got off the donkey down the slope.

One into five, whether this is Han Qi's bottom line or not, in the current state, it can't be talked about, in fact, Han Qi's bottom line is 1 into one, but if it's five into one, it's okay, it should be an acceptable result for both sides, although the situation just now is a little intense, but it is always in a controllable range, and now that the other party has gotten off the donkey, it should be directly discussed the next issue.

This problem is the problem of the proportion of transfer, as well as the authorization of the center, this is also the most fundamental purpose of these people to go to Dongfu, if there is no card owner, why should these roads be sent to the door, let Han Qi blackmail, just do it yourself.

According to common sense, this is the case, but Han Qi is biased, he didn't care about it at all, and directly here, he raised another question, this is one into five every year, it must be four into five in the first year, and then one into five every year, and it will last for 6 years, and after 6 years, the number of five will be restored.

That is to say, it is equivalent to taking half of the next 5 years, taking out half of each year, rounding up 3 percent, plus the previous one into five, which is almost half of the management fee of 4 into 5.

This requirement is not only excessive, but also super excessive, take the current status quo, get people over, use a lot of hard work, upgrade the vast majority of people to level 2, after deducting 4 into 5, it is almost the same as the most ordinary, what do you do with so much effort.

Even if everything goes relatively smoothly, the craftsmen who are sent out in this part will pay a little more if they upgrade to level 3, 4, or even level 5 if they upgrade faster.

According to the calculation of 400 guan per person for level 3 workers, 4 into 5 is 180 guan, which is almost higher than the previous management fee.

Suddenly, there were waves again, but this time, none of the old qualifications spoke, in fact, Du Yan and Yan Shu and others had been looking at Han Qi's face all the time, one was a relationship between people who were under the eaves and had to bow their heads, but they understood better what Han Qi's purpose was.

What Han Qi said before was definitely the truth, he asked for money, not because he plucked the feathers, but really for this huge project.

Only those who have been the first assistant, or participated in political affairs, will know the importance of farmland and water conservancy at the height of a kingdom.

This huge siege city, which took into account both transportation and water conservancy construction, was unprecedented not only in the Northern Song Dynasty, but also in the entire feudal dynasty of China.

For example, the Great Wall and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which have always been greatly criticized, may not be the same as him in terms of total investment, let alone efficacy.

At least 6,000 miles of canals were excavated, nearly 3,000 large and small lakes including 20 lakes were excavated, 5,000 miles of rivers were dredged and cleaned, and even some simple farmland water conservancy and other constructions were included.

This is a terrible national project, the influence not only includes the Central Plains, but also includes the northwest, the north, and the south, a point is completed, the country's water network, will be thoroughly sorted out, not to mention shipping, the proportion of fertile land in the entire cultivated land will be greatly improved, and the ability to resist flood and drought disasters will also be improved, which is a good thing for the whole country.

As the former first assistant, even if they go to the local state capital, they also have their own channels, at present, such a project, has begun the preliminary preparations, the uncertainty of such a huge project, even when the preparation is sufficient, it is necessary to have a part of the funds for emergency response, not to mention, the whole preparation, is not very sufficient, the gap is still very large.

This is probably also Han Qi's purpose, if according to the current situation, according to the number of 3 million people, the management fee of 200 yuan, that is, 600 million, four into five commissions, is close to 300 million, which can almost support most of the project, and then the financial income of the entire Northern Song Dynasty will be accompanied by the completion of various factories, a substantial increase, and there is no need.

Du Yan and Yan Shu clearly grasped this key, this is Han Qi's true intention, then there is no way to change, from the current situation and future of the Northern Song Dynasty, this is the most suitable, the scene fell into an inexplicable atmosphere, should have been angry, but because Du Yan and Yan Shu and other bigwigs did not speak, and stagnated, and then, the bigwigs agreed, and the others could not resist, such a seemingly unreasonable request was also passed.
