Han Qi, as the deputy privy envoy and the general manager of the Northwest Fourth Road, directly controlled tens of thousands of forbidden troops, as well as two or three times the number of troops, but he was not very old, only in his thirties.

Although he is young, he is already in the center, and even when Fan Zhongyan presided over the government, he has always been Fan Zhongyan's deputy, such a position is already the absolute leadership of the Northern Song Dynasty, and he is qualified to know a lot of things hidden behind the government.

There are many things that can only be understood when the level reaches a certain level, and some things, if they are addressed to the entire people, or the entire official level, the ultimate consequences are unimaginable

Xixia is a clown, but because of the harassment of Western Xia, the situation in the frontier is getting worse and worse.

The land is deserted, the rainfall is reduced, and the personnel are scarce, this is the biggest crisis in the frontier, the four roads on the border, when Han Qi arrived, in fact, had become a full-time military state, almost completely engaged in agriculture or animal husbandry, completely none, everything, from top to bottom, is closely related to the military.

In this way, the forces can be concentrated together, so that the frontier has great power, but it also puts great pressure on the center.

From the time of the good water river, two or three million guan per year, to six or seven million guan in the fourth year of Qingli, this growth rate weighed heavily on the center.

Ye Qingchen sometimes didn't dare to start a large-scale project at all, and even small investments were patched up, when Han Qi went to the Northwest Fourth Road, the entire Privy Council and the Central Committee had already decided to intervene in the battle of Liaoxia, and there might be a big battle in the middle, but in the end, Han Qi took away only 3o million yuan.

The Northwest has become a stubborn disease, a stubborn disease that weighs heavily on the center to suck blood.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, there was no shortage of capable people, and even in order to solve the problems in the northwest, many people were doing this work, and the best way to solve the problems in the northwest was to fill in the real side, which was an established strategy for the feudal dynasty to solve the border troubles, and in history, many times, it had produced immediate results.

But this is not a question of whether it should or shouldn't, but a question of whether it can be, the reason why there are many problems at the border is that the foundation of the border is not enough, and filling in the solid edge can solve this problem, but the biggest constraint of this plan lies in the environmental problem.

If the northwest side can be as good as Hebei, then the entire Northern Song Dynasty can be regarded as solid and unbreakable.

Soldiers, militias, soldiers, and soldiers are born from the people, and the people can also support soldiers, which is a two-sided thing, without enough personnel, without a strong foundation, and relying solely on the protection of foreign exports, it is simply impossible to resist possible dangers.

If a large number of people go there, if they can't feed themselves, can't produce enough food, and can't support their survival materials, it will be a greater burden, and supporting hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians is already the limit of what the Northern Song Dynasty can do.

In the past, there was no such foundation, and it was already very difficult for the northwest to ensure the current stability, and it was already very difficult to get a large number of people to the northwest, but others did not come, and it also caused huge turmoil.

If people can't live and don't have food to eat, then they can do anything.

The hungry victims eat everything like locusts, and once someone takes the lead and rises up, what will it bring?

Han Qi was originally transferred to the northwest for the purpose of interfering in the battle of Liaoxia, but to sit in the northwest, the drought in Shaanxi has had a huge impact, the harvest of several states and counties, without a capable and influential important minister, maybe there will be chaos.

Han Qi solved all this perfectly, it is not the role of 3o Wanguan, this is just an introduction, the real effect, or where is it close to the inner 6, even if it is a mess, it will not have a huge impact, it is really the Northwest Fourth Road, the location near the border, if such a huge disaster is caused, once Xixia intervenes, the consequences will be unimaginable.

All this, along with the complete change of water conservancy in Lingzhou, the original barren, can only grow grass, and even grazing is not suitable for the northwest, but it has become a plug in the south of the Yangtze River.

A northwest that may have more than 5ooo acres of irrigated land is different from the northwest, where the land is barren and may face war at any time.

They have enough foundation to accommodate more people, and they have the foundation to accommodate a huge population, so what we need to do next is to fill these populations, let these people play a role, and then make the northwest stronger and stronger.

This is a virtuous circle, the best way to stabilize the frontier, with this as the foundation, even if it is only a tenth of this vision, it is a terrible number, for the stability of the frontier, it will be like the needle of the sea.

If the princes in the court want the stability of the entire Northern Song Dynasty and the peace of the border passes, it is only a matter of time before they agree.

Han Qi has great confidence in this, Han Qi is one of the rare officials in the Northern Song Dynasty, who is young and strong, and has very rich experience in all aspects, otherwise, why did he become Fan Zhongyan's deputy when he returned to Beijing at that time, and even played a considerable role in Fan Zhongyan's changes.

Why did he participate in Fan Zhongyan's change, it is because the entire Northern Song Dynasty has reached the point where it does not change, and the law does not change, that is, chronic death, if you change the law, there are two possibilities, one is to rise again and change the problem, and the other is to add death.

Fan Zhongyan is really a very courageous person, and he is also the crown of the Northern Song Dynasty in terms of personal ethics, even if he is like Han Qi, who is young and promising, he does not dare to guarantee that he is flawless in all aspects, but Fan Zhongyan can do it.

The greatest courage is actually in the change of the law, the Northern Song Dynasty Renzong Dynasty, countless virtuous ministers, as long as they can get in touch with the actual situation of the Northern Song Dynasty, they will know that the current Northern Song Dynasty is only barely maintained by Renzong and the princes of the court, once there is a large-scale change, it will be irreparable.

I can see a lot, and I can really have the courage to propose a change in the law, and do it in a down-to-earth manner, and above the court, there is only Fan Zhongyan.

It is this spirit that has attracted a large number of young talents to follow, including outstanding talents such as Han Qi and Fu Bi, which has made many changes in just one year.

There are many followers, and there are more opposition, why change the law, that is a problem with the court, the Northern Song Dynasty can be said to be the richest in the entire feudal dynasty, and the population and wealth have already explained the problem.

In other dynasties, it is often not until one or two hundred years later that there will be problems and contradictions, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, it has only been seventy or eighty years, and such a serious problem has arisen.

This root cause is that Zhao Kuangyin released his military power with a cup of wine, completely let the generals put down their swords and soldiers, and established the Jiangmen, they have nothing to pursue in politics, they can only be in business and wealth.

At the same time, in order to suppress Jiangmen, Zhao Song infinitely raised the treatment of scholars, and the official family ruled the world together, and the same is true for some of these scholars, who also participated in the division of wealth, which exacerbated this change.

The rapid decay of the gate, the plundering of the land annexation, and many other problems, the bottom layer cannot be protected, and stability cannot be maintained.

Fan Zhongyan's new law is almost to the core, and it is aimed at all vested interests and powerful people.

These people include Jiangmen, as well as some of the scholars, and the impact is too big.

With the support of Renzong, Fan Zhongyan presided over the government as a privy deputy envoy, so to speak, even the prime minister could not block his edge, in such a situation, these magnates, may be a family, not as strong as Fan Zhongyan.

Generally speaking, these powerful people who bully the weak and are afraid of the hard are unlikely to directly conflict with Fan Zhongyan, but Fan Zhongyan is digging their foundation, in such a situation, how can they let go easily.

These powerful people, it is impossible to go further, these family wealth, these status are all they have, Fan Zhongyan does this, of course they will cause a backlash.

They do not have the strength to confront Fan Zhongyan head-on, but they will use various methods to delay the promulgation of the new law.

No matter how good the system is, there will be huge problems in the face of the problem of executors, and this is what these magnates use.

Not to mention violating your orders, but just disobeying or refusing to implement it, it is difficult for the new law to be implemented downward, and sometimes, even Bianliang City can't get out.

How could a civil official, or an aspiring civil official, combine with these powerful people to confront them, but Fan Zhongyan never thought of retreating in the face of the opponent's forces, and he tried every possible means to forcibly implement the new law in the case of insufficient strength, and finally committed a taboo and interfered in the imperial examination.

This is a big taboo, even if the Northern Song Dynasty, scholars and doctors rule the world together in the official family, but there are some things that cannot be moved, the imperial examination is one of the key points, when Fan Zhongyan interfered in the imperial examination, it doomed his fate, even if his ethics can be believed, even if his purpose, the rules are the rules.

Renzong's control ability is much stronger than that of Shenzong, and Wang Anshi's change is also meddling in the imperial examination, which ultimately caused the last trace of vitality in the Northern Song Dynasty, which completely disappeared, and party strife began to appear, and buried the fate of the Northern Song Dynasty, but Renzong, now is not right, change immediately, even if it is Fan Zhongyan.

Renzong knew very well that Fan Zhongyan didn't have a mind, but he didn't dare to gamble, let alone let this rule be completely abolished, and under the difference between the two, he chose to stabilize the government.

This also became a turning point for the reformers, all their strength came from the support of Renzong, when Renzong supported, he could govern without scruples, when Renzong's support was no longer there, he was just a privy deputy envoy, and even a privy deputy envoy who was about to be deposed.
