Chapter 327: Layout of the South

Hearing the knock on the door, Li Guang and the others were shocked.

At that moment, Li Guang stood up, and Li's wife had already walked towards the courtyard gate.

Mrs. Li opened the courtyard door and saw a group of people standing at their door. Among this group of people, many of them were wearing black armor, and they were soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, and Qin Hui and Zhao Ding were also among them. In addition to them, there was a young man standing there, this young man was about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a dragon robe and a faint smile on his face.

"The women of the people see Your Majesty!" Mrs. Li recognized this person's identity! In today's Great Song Dynasty, after Zhao Gou died, there was only one person left who could wear such clothes, and that was Emperor Xuanwu who unified the Great Song Dynasty!

Mrs. Li was shocked, she didn't expect Zhao Chen to come to her home.

At this moment, Li Guang had also seen Zhao Chen, and Li Guang was also taken aback, hurriedly came forward, and then immediately knelt on the ground.

"Weichen Li Guang, see Your Majesty!" Li Guang said hurriedly.

"Let's all be flat." Zhao Chen said.

Li Guang and Li's wife stood up, and Zhao Chen's eyes went towards Li Guang and looked carefully. He found that although Li Guang was not young, close to sixty, Li Guang did not show much signs of old age. He looks like a middle-aged man in his forties.

Li Guang has also been secretly looking at Zhao Chen, in his opinion, Zhao Chen's spirit is far better than that of Song Huizong and Song Qinzong. Zhao Chen's eyes were unusually firm and confident, and it was the first time he had seen someone with such firm and confident eyes.

"Your Majesty, please take a seat!" Over there, Mrs. Li had already reacted, and at this moment, Mrs. Li hurriedly moved a chair from the room and put it in front of Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen didn't sit down, just looked at Li Guang and said with a smile: "I came here this time, mainly to ask Master Li to come out and help me do things!" Our Great Song Dynasty has been divided for almost six years, and in the past six years, because of the split, the people of the world have also suffered a lot! Zhao Gou was rampant in Jiangnan, and he used all the funds he got on the civil war, not the war with the Jurchens! The world is unified, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, and people like Master Li are needed to come and help me! ”

Li Guang was stunned, he didn't expect Zhao Chen to speak so directly.

After thinking for a moment, Li Guang said: "Weichen wants to know His Majesty's ambitions? ”

"My ambition is naturally to recover the Central Plains and rejuvenate the Great Song Dynasty! After recovering the Central Plains, the next step is to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun and conquer Liaodong and other places! In addition, we want to establish a fair system, so that the old can have their ends, the strong can be useful, and the young can grow, so that everyone in the world can live and work in peace and contentment, so that the goods can be used to the best and people can do their best! I want my Han civilization to spread to the Quartet and be admired by the Quartet, just like the Tang Dynasty, or even more than the Tang Dynasty! Zhao Chen said.

Li Guang lowered his head, but there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"What? Does Master Lee think there's anything wrong? Zhao Chen said.

"Recovering the Central Plains, Zhongxing Great Song Dynasty, these Your Majesty can still do it! As for recovering the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and conquering Liaodong and other places, this Your Majesty may not be able to do it! As for the latter words, they are ridiculous! Even Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong back then, they didn't dare to say such things! Your Majesty thinks, can you defeat Taizu and Taizong? Li Guang asked.

This time, Zhao Chen was silent for a long time.

"I think that I can surpass Taizu and Taizong!" Finally, Zhao Chen said.

"What!" Li Guang stayed there all at once.

Qin Hui and Zhao Ding also stayed there.

The three of them all felt that Zhao Chen was extremely arrogant.

Song Taizu and Song Taizong are the two founding emperors of the Great Song Dynasty, with outstanding achievements and admiration from the world! No one dares to arrogantly say that they can surpass Taizu and Taizong! What's more, Zhao Chen is a descendant of Song Taizu and Song Taizong, as a descendant, how could he say such a thing? How can you say that you are more than your ancestors? This is completely inconsistent with the filial piety of the ancients!

Zhao Guang wanted to open his mouth to accuse Zhao Chen, thinking that Zhao Chen's words belonged to blasphemy against his ancestors, but at this time Zhao Chen opened his mouth to speak.

"I naturally want to be better than Taizu and Taizong! I want to make greater achievements than Taizu and Taizong, so that my Han civilization will once again be at the top of the world! Not only that, but I also hope that my descendants will surpass me! I hope that our Great Song generation will be stronger than the next! Just because we are children and grandchildren, we don't dare to say things that surpass our ancestors! If we don't dare to surpass our ancestors, if one generation is not as good as the next, we are afraid that the Great Song Dynasty will be getting worse and worse, and we Han people will only be getting worse and worse! Things like the almost extinction of the country that we have faced over the years will still happen! One of the reasons for the successive dynasties, hundreds of years, and short decades, all of them perished in the end, one reason is that the descendants of the royal family are not as good as the next generation, and the country is declining more and more. When I say such things today, I hope that in the future my children and grandchildren will be able to say that they can surpass me without any scruples. At this time, Zhao Chen spoke.

After Zhao Chen finished speaking, Li Guang was speechless.

"Your Majesty is right! Only when one generation is better than the next, can our Great Song Dynasty become stronger and stronger, and the Han people can become stronger and stronger. After a long while, Zhao Ding spoke.

"Yes, Your Majesty has the ambition to surpass Taizu and Taizong, and Weichen and others will naturally assist Your Majesty in accomplishing such an ambition." Qin Hui had already spoken immediately at this moment.

Zhao Chen stood there with a faint smile on his face, his eyes full of confidence.

Li Guang looked at Zhao Chen, and he suddenly felt that Zhao Chen was full of an indescribable spirit.

Such courage is far superior to Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, and it is also better than Zhao Gou. In the past, it was impossible for Song Huizong, Song Qinzong, or Zhao Gou to say such things, they definitely didn't dare to say that they wanted to surpass Taizu and Taizong, and they thought in their hearts that it was difficult for them to surpass Taizu Taizong.

Although it was only a few words, Li Guang already felt that Zhao Chen was very different from Song Huizong, Song Qinzong, Zhao Gou and others.

Li Guang was originally worried that Zhao Chen was the grandson of Song Huizong and the grandson of Song Qinzong, and he was worried that he was the same as those two emperors, but now it seems that he is fundamentally different.

"Now the Central Plains is still under the occupation of the Jurchens, Jiangnan has just been recovered, but now it is not stable, many places in the Central Plains are still in misery, the national disaster is at the head, and everyone in my generation is vying for the first! Master Li, let me ask you again, would you like to help me? Zhao Chen said again.

"Wechen is willing!" Li Guang finally spoke.

"Good! That's great! Zhao Chen was overjoyed.

These days, he studied the official documents of Zhongshu Province and found that Zhao Ding, Qin Hui, and Li Guang were outstanding in the Jiangnan Imperial Court. Zhao Ding is good at financial management, and over the years, Zhao Gou has been tyrannical and tyrannical, but Jiangnan is basically stable, which is mainly due to Zhao Ding. Qin Hui, on the other hand, has rich experience in handling political affairs, which makes the Zhao court always stable. As for Li Guang, he is good at employing people and has promoted a lot of talents, and Li Guang has repeatedly served as the secretary of the ministry, and he has a large number of disciples and a wide range of contacts, even surpassing Qin Hui and Zhao Ding.

At this moment, Li's wife moved a few more stools, and the guards helped move a small table out, and Zhao Chen asked everyone to sit down.

"Li Aiqing, I am going to appoint you as the minister of Fujian and Guangdong to pacify Fujian and Guangdong, and to proclaim Fujian and Guangdong, are you willing to go?" Zhao Chen said.

"Wechen is willing to go! Several of Wechen's disciples all held official positions in Fujian and Guangdong, and they would also assist Wechen. Li Guangdao.

"Good! Zhao Aiqing, you serve as the minister of Lianghuai Road to pacify and preside over the affairs of Lianghuai! Zhao Chen said.

"Wechen takes the order! However, Your Majesty, there are many bandits on the Lianghuai Road, and these bandits must be exterminated first. Zhao Ding said.

"This is simple, after the Dongting Lake bandits are exterminated, I will order Wu Jue to lead the army north to exterminate the two Huai bandits." Zhao Chen said.

Over the years, the world has been in turmoil, in addition to the rebels, there are countless bandits, of course, sometimes the rebels and bandits are difficult to distinguish. The more famous bandits in the land of Lianghuai are Li Cheng, Zhang Yong, Cao Cheng and others. Historically, these bandits were exterminated by Yue Fei. However, in this era, Yue Fei is no longer in Jiangnan, and naturally there is no such thing as quelling bandits, and the banditry in Lianghuai is still very serious.

"Because of the serious banditry, the people of the two Huai lands have suffered a lot! When Emperor Jianyan was in power, I persuaded Emperor Jianyan to suppress bandits, but Emperor Jianyan only wanted to exterminate Your Majesty, and turned a blind eye to those bandits, hey! I hope that Your Majesty will be able to eradicate those bandits as soon as possible. Zhao Chen sighed softly and said.

Zhao Chen nodded, he looked at Qin Hui again, and said, "Qin Aiqing, you are the minister of Henan pacification, and you are responsible for Xuanfu Henan Kaifeng, Shangqiu and other places. ”

"Your Majesty, the Jurchen invasion, the population of Henan and other places has withered, and now there may not be many people within a hundred miles! When Weichen arrived in Henan, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Henan to restore its original scene. Qin Hui said.

"Although the population of Henan is withering, there is also a lot of land vacant! After you arrive in Henan, you will be in charge of taking stock of the land! These vacant lands will belong to the state in the future! When the Jurchens in Henan are completely cleared, I will find a way to divide those lands. Zhao Chen said.

"Divide it? Could it be that it is a meritorious person? Qin Hui was stunned for a moment and said.

"No, it's distributed to ordinary people! I have an idea in my heart, we can encourage the people of Jiangnan, Sichuan and Shu to go to Henan and the Central Plains! The ownerless land, as long as someone is willing to cultivate it, will be owned by that family in five or ten years! If someone in their family has ever joined the army, they only need to sow seeds for two or three years, and the land belongs to them! In this way, a large number of people will inevitably go to various parts of the Central Plains, and the population of all parts of the Central Plains will be able to recover quickly. Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, it's a pity that so much land is distributed to the people." Qin Hui hesitated for a moment and said.

"It's a pity that they don't give it to the people, but they are all abandoned there." Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, those lands can become royal and leased to the people." Qin Hui said.

"What does the royal family want so much land for? As an emperor, everything in the world belongs to me, do you still want to grab land with the people? Zhao Chen said lightly.

Qin Hui nodded at this time.

"Your Majesty, who will manage the land south of the Yangtze River?" Zhao Dingdao.

"It won't be long before Li Gang will come to Jiangnan! He is my teacher and my appointed prime minister! Over the years, I have been at war with the Jurchens in the front, and the political and civil affairs of Hanzhong and Sichuan and Shu have been handed over to him to deal with, and he has handled them in an orderly manner, and now Hanzhong and Sichuan and Shu are far better than before! I believe that he can also handle the affairs of Jiangnan! Of course, I will also stay in Jiangnan for a while, and I will not leave here until the situation in Jiangnan is completely stabilized. Zhao Chen said.

"When the two emperors were on the throne, Master Li Gang and Li were already well-known in the world, far better than us! If he comes to Jiangnan, he will definitely be able to handle the affairs of Jiangnan! Your Majesty, when that time comes, will we also have to obey Lord Li's orders? "At this time, Li Guangdao.

"No, you don't! You're all under the command of the Military Aircraft Division! Important affairs in Fujian, Guangdong, Lianghuai, and Henan must be reported to the Military Aircraft Department! I'll take care of your reports myself! Zhao Chen said.

Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Qin Hui, Zhao Ding, and Li Guang were all slightly shocked in their hearts. They have long heard of the Military Aircraft Department, and they know that the Military Aircraft Department has great power, and almost puts the prime minister and privy envoy in the air, and if the prime minister and privy envoy are not the minister of military aircraft, then there is almost no power, and now it seems that this is really the case. The Minister of Military Aircraft has no rank, there is no subordinate relationship between each other, everything is appointed by the emperor, and the emperor can revoke it at any time, so it can be said that the Military Aircraft Department is completely under the control of the emperor alone.

With this military aircraft department, no one can control the will of the emperor, and the emperor can be truly dictatorial.

At this moment, the three of them felt the huge difference between the Zhao Chen court and the Zhao Gou court, not only the emperors were different, but the systems were also very different.

Say:

Renovation of the house, tired to work.

At six o'clock in the evening, the workers came to install the lights, and they were busy, and they came back to code words and wrote a chapter, which did not feel very good. Although the main content is consistent with the outline, I am not satisfied with the sentence processing, detailed arrangement, etc., and I changed it several times before I dared to send it.

Tomorrow I will take some free time and be sure to resume the third watch.

I'm sorry.
