Jiedu made this official position originated in the Tang Dynasty, during the Ruizong period, in order to facilitate the recruitment and commander-in-chief, the Jiedu envoy became a formal official position, but with the change of the situation, the Tang Dynasty changed from strategic offensive to strategic defense, and the diversified commander-in-chief methods, some were not enough to solve the problem, and the Jiedu envoy gradually became synonymous with the military and political leader.

The most famous festival envoy should be An Lushan, he served as two festival envoys at the same time, but also served as Hebei interview envoy, although there is no unity in name, but it is unified in real power.

If it is said that during the Xuanzong period of the Tang Dynasty, the Jiedu envoy and the interview made the two check and balance each other, one for the military and the other for the civil administration, but after the Anshi Rebellion, with the dissipation of the central light of the Tang Dynasty, the Jiedu envoy not only became the leader of the military and government, but also became a hereditary iron hat position, and the atmosphere changed.

Jiedu made the area under its jurisdiction a country within a country, and the Jiedu envoy in the late Tang Dynasty could even control the entire government.

After the establishment of the Song Dynasty, Song Taizu had the lesson of punishing the five dynasties in the late Tang Dynasty to divide one side and fight with each other, and adopted the method of rewarding money and seizing power for each section of the envoys, giving the heroes silver money and land, and requiring them to relieve the military power.

The festival degree envoy is generally used as an honorary position after the prime minister leaves office, and is called "a certain military festival degree envoy, and the same Zhongshu Men Ping Zhangshi", and the so-called "envoy" is also used for the addition of military ministers.

However, among the many festival envoys, there is an exception, that is, the sealing of the clan, sometimes, it can be controlled.

The Tang Dynasty's festival was very large, for example, in the late Tang Dynasty, Li Keyong and Zhu Wen both controlled several states, and they were not much different from a kingdom, especially Zhu Wen, who stood on his own as a beam.

The two provinces of Henan and Shandong, most of Shaanxi and Hubei, and parts of Hebei, Anhui, Jiangsu, Gansu, Ningxia, and Liaoning occupy almost the entire Central Plains.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, needless to say, all of them were provincial-level administrative divisions, all of which were very large, but in the border areas, there were many small military prefectures, and the small ones did not even have a county.

The Northern Song Dynasty learned the experience of the demise of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was destroyed in the border Jiedu envoy, starting from An Lushan, has been making the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline, it can be said to be a turning point, to the late Tang Dynasty, the strength of the Jiedu envoy has been unable to contain, strong as the soil emperor.

Zhao Kuangyin of the Northern Song Dynasty was added to the yellow robe, Zhao Guangyi took advantage of Taizu's lack of care, and also got the throne, brother died and brother, this may be more common in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but in the feudal dynasty of more than a thousand years, it rarely appears, unless there is no choice.

Zhao Kuangyin is not without a son, so from the beginning of the founding of the country, he has attached great importance to this, has been suppressing the military, and improving the strength of civilian officials, but Jiedu makes such a strategy that is very beneficial to the military and the border, but it is still necessary to establish However, the Northern Song Dynasty's control over Jiedu envoys is also very in place, and the military states on the border cannot be too big.

is relatively small, and if it is small, it cannot become a big problem for the big tail.

Even so, most of the Jiedu envoys are fictitious, and there are very few who have real positions, and there is one exception, that is, the clan, if you want, you can go to the military states of the frontier and serve as the Jiedu envoys.

Among them, the frontier military state is very small, Baozhou is already very small, and the border military state, which is smaller than Baozhou, abounds, most of which are equivalent to one or two counties, with a radius of only two or three hundred miles.

In such a place, even if they are in command of an army and command military and political power, what is there, let alone their position, either in the cracks of the powerful Dao, or in the frontier, at the forefront of resisting the Liao State.

Yuntai Mountain is like this, not only is it small, it does not have an administrative division, and it does not even have a small county seat or town.

If you follow the practice of the Northern Song Dynasty, if it is divided, it will be divided, and you don't have to worry about the rest, but this Yuntai Mountain Island is different, he is a white land, and if you want to build, you must pay for it.

If it were someone else's, maybe Renzong would have to suppress it, after all, the court didn't have any money, and even his life was simple and simple, not to mention others, for the reward of the concubine, for example, this time, let the concubine be promoted to the concubine, it can be said that it is a huge leap, the concubine is a little wife, and the concubine is also a little wife, but the little wife is not the same as the little wife, just like the official's one wife, one flat and two concubines, this is recorded, and the status of the flat wife is always higher than that of the concubine.

But the identity has gone up, the treatment or something, there is no change, the concubine has some feelings for the place where she originally lived, and she didn't even move the palace, and some rewards were greatly discounted, the reason was that there was no money.

But now it's Zhao Xinyao, this is his own son, even if the center has no money, he is squeezing in.

These days, the three divisions made Ye Qingchen hide away from him, feudal society, not in years, divided into autumn harvest and spring harvest respectively, although it is said that the spring harvest has just been received, has been escorted to the capital, but there are more mouths to eat, really have to loosen up here, what to do elsewhere.

To be honest, although the three ministers are high and powerful, in the eyes of others, they are technical ministers, and they are the most wealthy and powerful official positions, but every three envoys are trembling, perhaps in Zhenzong, or even during the Taizong period, the Northern Song Dynasty had high income and low expenditures, and the three envoys were very noble and decent.

But in the Renzong Dynasty, along with all kinds of maladministration, the three pits of the Northern Song Dynasty have appeared, officials, soldiers, and border troubles, these are three huge openings, and they are endless mouths for eating money, and some of them can't get out, from Zheng Jian, to Ye Qingchen, and then to Wang Yaochen in the back, all for this money, exhausted their hearts and lost their gray hair.

But the emperor's face must always be given, besides, it is still Zhao Xin's matter, Ye Qingchen is also a high-ranking official, otherwise he would not be able to do the position of prime minister, under the vigorous propaganda of Renzong, he is also qualified to know what kind of person Miao Ding is.

In the end, under the joint financing of the government, the center, and the three divisions, the final figure came out, and the grant given was 150,000 yuan for the construction of an ordinary state.

It sounds like a lot, 150,000 guan, converted into rice, there are 200,000 stones, converted into other things, it should be about the same, but this money is a huge number for ordinary families, and for a state, it is really a drop in the bucket number, for example, just like when Zhao Xin first crossed over, the county town Nanle he passed through, his small county town, in terms of the city wall, is more than 70,000 guan, plus some necessary equipment, defensive auxiliary equipment, 150,000 guan is basically gone.

Building a state does not mean that you will be finished with a city, let alone a city wall.

Even if it is 150,000 yuan, this money is not a one-time payment, but it should be divided into three or even four batches and gradually disbursed.

The Northern Song Dynasty now, the income is still huge, in the Renzong Dynasty, the government revenue exceeded 10 million, in the Renzong Qingli period, all the money was converted into money, about 20 million or so, it sounds very terrible, but in fact, the expenditure is greater.

Generally speaking, the first batch is 50,000 yuan, and then in 3 years, the payment will be completed, and at the same time, in addition to the initial time, it is money, and other needs will be paid, such as various daily necessities, grain, and other products, which will be discounted.

This is already the best result of Renzong's discussion with the center, and Renzong also wants to give more, but he also knows that there is no way, and the government has no money, and the 300,000 yuan is still taken out by the center from various places.

Since the money and food did not succeed because of Old Man Ye's stubbornness, then other aspects can no longer be discounted, Renzong is also very dedicated, and pays attention to the progress almost every day.

In terms of requirements, in addition to the construction costs, Zhao Xin mentioned more importantly, manpower, especially craftsmen, no matter what level they are, as long as they are, they can ask for them.

Regarding the craftsmen, almost 20,000 will be drawn from the various major supervisors, because Zhao Xin, regardless of the level, master craftsman or main craftsman, etc., is not extracted, and the apprentice and the apprentice who have just been apprenticed are the focus.

Renzong also wants to extract a part of the master craftsmen, but the opposition of the major workshops, especially now, the task of the craftsmen is also very high, and these apprentices and new masters are transferred, which is no problem, once the master master is transferred, the whole siege will have problems.

If he can't meet his wishes, of course Renzong has to make up for it in other aspects, and there are more craftsmen, about 5,000, reaching 25,000, which is a little more than Zhao Xin asked for before.

If Zhao Xin knew, he would definitely be happier, what he wanted was to be young and strong, really for the master, it was not impossible to use, a transformation process would take a long time, in case he encountered that kind of stubbornness, insisted on not being willing to do it according to the requirements, it would not be more troublesome.

Apprentices and newcomers have not mastered the technology to a certain extent, let alone self-confidence, and it is easier to integrate to refute Zhao Xin's request.

In addition to craftsmen, the Xiang army is also the focus of Zhao Xin's request, and this point, both Renzong and the army have the green light.

The first batch of 30,000 van troops can be increased to 100,000 if needed in the future, but one thing is that these van armies are not allowed to carry weapons, and the central government is not responsible for everything in the van army.

In fact, when this highest to 100,000 yuan was brought to Renzong, Renzong seemed to understand that the annual cost of 30,000 Xiang troops would probably exceed 300,000 yuan, which was equivalent to the reduction of 30,000 Xiang troops, no wonder these centers approved it so quickly.

Renzong's mind turned, he thought about it, and ordered the inner supervisor to call Ye Qingchen, Zhang Dexiang, and Jia Chaochang over, but he himself was gently knocking on the table, this part of the reduction, although he can't all come over, he always has to make up for it.
