Five years after the establishment of the industry, the great Song Dynasty was prosperous, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the new law reform has been used to make the Great Song Dynasty change from the inside out.

If the official embezzles and takes bribes, robs and robs, etc., it is a harm to one party, loses the support of the people, and makes it impossible for the court to implement its decisions. Zhao Gou's drastic reform of the rule of officials made the Great Song Dynasty prosperous and prosperous, and the people praised Zhao Gou as a good emperor.

In the past five years, the road to changing the law and strengthening the country has been halfway through, and this road is full of challenges, and Zhao Gohao is not cowardly, let alone because of the interests of the powerful or landlords, he cares more about the interests of the people, such a politician has not been seen since ancient times.

Whether it is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty or Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, there are scholars standing behind them, although the country is prosperous during the reign, and the people have plenty of food and clothing, they are still based on the interests of the people, making the power of the scholars more and more huge, and the warlord power is entrenched in one side.

Zhao Gou came from later generations, deeply aware that the interests of the people are above all else, in the feudal period, the deep-rooted ideology and culture made the people live only food and clothing, if it is almost that it is hungry, unclothed, very miserable.

Zhao Gou ordered the household registration officer to report all the registered population in various places, as well as the family situation, etc., to investigate clearly, this amount of work can not be completed in one or two years, and the cost is not more than one million, but Zhao Gou still insisted, it took a full five years to make a detailed file of the population and other conditions in various places, and enter the household department and the Privy Council, which also makes those people enjoy more protection.

After five years, the commerce of the Great Song Dynasty was more developed, and the people had more food every year, which was what the people needed, and the merchants were even more profitable, and they were even more supportive of the new policy implemented by Zhao Gou, only the interests of the scholars and hereditary nobles were damaged, which made the descendants of the Zhao family and relatives complain.

Zhao Gou completely abolished slavery, and even incorporated this law into the laws of the Great Song Dynasty. Anyone who trafficks in human beings is guilty of capital punishment. In addition, Zhao Gou will those people who live in great difficulty, as well as lonely and widowed people, as long as his heirs join the army, they can enjoy the monthly pension of two taels of silver issued by the imperial court, which is enough for the family to eat; If you are lazy, then the pension will be deducted.

At the beginning, Zhao Gou implemented this precedent, which made many officials oppose it, but he didn't care at all, and insisted on compulsory implementation, and the state treasury alone spent tens of millions of taels on this project every year. However, Zhao Gou will not continue to distribute it forever, he will stop distributing those who have labor force after their labor, in order to support their lives.

In addition, Zhao Gou also added a new policy, anyone who entered Beijing to participate in the imperial examination, regardless of martial arts, as long as the top three people could get a hundred taels of silver rewarded by the imperial court. Zhao Gou strengthened the rigor of the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, and even strengthened the centralization of power, and returned the great power to the central government, that is, the Privy Council, and the six ministries.

At the beginning, the Privy Council was dominant, but later Zhao Gou changed this, and the power was divided into six departments, and the Privy Council was only in charge, that is, the power of the Privy Council was weakened and the power of the six departments was increased. As for the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zhao Gou even gave them the power to supervise the illegal acts of hundreds of officials.

As long as an official knows the law and violates the law, he will be submitted to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for a court, and then sent to the Criminal Department for handling. When the Metropolitan Procuratorate decides that nothing is wrong, then the Criminal Department can no longer pursue it; If there is an incident or a serious crime, and it is sent directly to the prison of the Criminal Department, the punishment will be very severe.

Through the content of Wang Anshi's reforms, Zhao Gou still continued to implement them, changed the shortcomings in them, and constantly made up for them, making the Great Song Dynasty stronger and stronger. In the whole five years, the harvest has achieved remarkable results, which is also the scene that Zhao Gou is looking forward to.

The officials are constantly rectifying and combing, and there are still people who are corrupt and bribery, and they are repeatedly prohibited, and Zhao Gou is really helpless, so he can't really kill them all, and finally decided to only kill the first evil, and the other implicated personnel will be exiled to the army, and all property will be confiscated.

In the sixth year of Jianye, the Qilin Order Lord reappeared on the rivers and lakes, and Zhao Yougong followed Zhao Gou's will and secretly led the people of Amber Villa to clear the rivers and lakes. Due to the rectification of the rule of officials, it was found that some officials in the court were actually involved in the Jianghu sect, which made Zhao Gou very angry.

As a result, the Qilin Order Lord began a new round of purging, and those famous and decent people were just passing through the motions and saying hello. As for those treacherous villains, naturally they can't be allowed to act recklessly under the bright and clear world, and all of them will be cleansed.

In this year, Xing Bingyi gave birth to another daughter, and Zhao Gou named her Ling'er. And, in this year, Zhao Gou crowned his mother Wei as the Empress Dowager of Cining. Because Empress Zheng died of illness in the harem in the fourth year of Jianye, Wei was unwilling to be the queen mother, and finally in desperation, Wei could only become the queen mother of the harem in this year, and was named the 'Empress Dowager of Cining'.

Under the facilitation of Zhao Gou, Liang Hongyu really gave birth to a son in the fifth year of Jianye, but he died early. That was Han Shizhong's eldest son, but unfortunately so, but Han Shizhong still named Yan Pu. The following year, Liang Hongyu gave birth to a son, named Yanzhi, that is, Han Shizhong's eldest son.

Zhao Gou even issued a military order, let all the generals who had never married a wife and have children go home to give birth to children, and gave them a month, and even some soldiers of the Song army were unwilling to go on the expedition again.

"They are the heroes of my Great Song Dynasty, and the meritorious people don't let them enjoy the joy of family, so how can they let them fight bravely to kill the enemy? Because they have a concern in their hearts, they will fight bravely for the sake of their wives and children. Even if there are no heirs left, at least I am worthy of them, the battlefield is not like other places, it is possible to die at any time, and no one will die, this is the sorrow of the Great Song Dynasty! ”

It was Zhao Gou who pioneered the army, so that the army still had a holiday to go home to save relatives, even if some people were unwilling to join the army, but it was a very few, more people firmly believed in the concept in their hearts, continued to serve the Great Song Dynasty, and did their duty to the emperor, and some family members supported them to join the army and continue to build up their military exploits.

Those soldiers who went home to save their relatives saw Zhao Gou's arrangements for their families, and they were even more distracted, and those who were unwilling to go, Zhao Gou did not force them, and directly allowed them to take off their military status. In fact, it is also the disarmament of the Great Song Dynasty that has too many troops, in disguise.

If they go home and don't want to go out again, they will inevitably be tempted in the future, or be captured, and it is difficult for such people to continue to be loyal to the imperial court, so Zhao Gou allowed it, but they also gave them a pension, which is equivalent to a reward after being discharged from the army.

There are not many soldiers!

Zhao Gou has always adhered to this truth, even if the army has a million heroes, the combat effectiveness is not strong, it is just more deaths. After such a choice, all the armies of the Great Song Dynasty added up to only 300,000, and the 100,000 forbidden army was also partially cut, leaving only 80,000 troops.

200,000 troops guarded the border passes, and 100,000 troops guarded the land throughout the country. The twenty armies are all left, these people are brave people who are one to ten, and they train every day, never stopping, which is also the will of Zhao Gou, in order to prepare for the counterattack on the Jin Dynasty in the future.

In the seventh year of Jianye, Zhao Gou inspected various places from time to time, and stayed in the capital for very little time, most of them were in the Great Song Dynasty to search all over the country, up to the bustling markets, down to the poor and remote places, there were Zhao Gou's footprints, and the accompanying people must be accompanied by Zhao Yougong and Gao Chong.

Moreover, Zhao Gou's patrols are all private visits to Weifu, there is no pomp at all, and they will not be notified where they are going, and sometimes Zhao Gou and others arrive, and those local officials are not clear. Because of this, Zhao Gou will also see that the officials are mediocre and incompetent, and he will investigate and deal with them; You will also find that a good official who is honest and honest will definitely be promoted afterwards.

Building embankments, cleaning up rivers, expanding embankments, widening roads, etc., Zhao Gou encouraged businessmen to invest in the construction, that is, funding, and even named the road in the name of that person in recognition of his contribution to the local area, which made many businessmen willing to contribute money and efforts, Zhao Gou also required that the construction of the embankment must be not bad for many years and withstand the wind and waves; The bridge must not collapse accidents, the quality must be guaranteed, and he will also send people to investigate, this is a century-old plan, and there can be no sloppiness.

In the years since Zhao Gou ascended the throne, some of the ministers of the DPRK and China have passed away, among which Xu Jingheng is really tired, and Zhao Gou pursues Zhongjian; In the same year, the old marshal Zong Ze died of illness in the mansion, and Zhao Gou personally presided over his funeral, and posthumously presented the bachelor of the Guanwen Palace, the general doctor, and the nickname Zhongjian.

Seed Master Dao participated in the first battle of the Song and Jin Dynasty when Zhao Gou had not yet ascended the throne, and died in the battle of the Seed Master, and then he was too sad and seriously injured, making him unable to lead the army, and finally Zhao Gou agreed that he would return to Beijing to recuperate, and the Seed Master Dao also asked the emperor to let Zhang Jun take his place, Zhao Gou agreed one by one, so he returned to Beijing to recuperate with peace of mind, and all the ministers of the court and the central government went to visit on the evening of returning to the capital, and even Zhao Gou came in person.

The next day, the planter Daoyi couldn't sleep, and he also told Zhao Gou to prevent the Jin soldiers from coming back, and also said about Zhang Jun's deeds, Zhao Gou did not refute this, and listened to all the suggestions of the planter. When the seed master died, Zhao Gou also mourned for three days in the whole country, personally paid tribute, and issued an edict to posthumously present the three divisions of Kaifu Yitong, plus a small guarantee, and said that he was loyal to the constitution.

In the sixth year of Jianye, Wang Yun, the secretary of the criminal department, was ready to send an envoy to Goryeo, and he was ill halfway, and finally Zhao Gou ordered his body to be sent back to the capital, and Wang Yun's position was also replaced by Zhao Ding, which was played by Wang Yun in advance, and when he was dying, he gave Zhao Gou a message to stay, and after his death, Zhao Gou posthumously presented the bachelor of the Guanwen Palace, and named Wang Yun as 'Zhongxian Gong', and his title was taken over by his son.

In addition, General Zhang Shuye also died in the siege of the Jin soldiers, and Xu Huiyan also died in battle. It can be said that many people who followed Zhao Gou's side have gone, and a new group of people have come, which makes Zhao Gou pay special attention to the body of the elders of the DPRK and China.

Xing Bingyi's father Xing Huan also died of illness in the house, Zhao Gou came in person, and even Xing Bingyi returned to the criminal mansion for the first time, and at that time Xing Bingyu was already a big girl, but she was not allowed to marry anyone, even Xing Bingyi, who was a sister, did not understand why, but Xing Bingyu did not tell the reason.

Due to Xing Huan's death, Xing Bingyi didn't want his sister to stay in the mansion alone, so he asked the emperor to let Xing Bingyu enter the palace to accompany him, and Zhao Gou allowed it. At the beginning, Xing Huan was Xing Bingyi's father, that is, Zhao Gou's father-in-law, so that he was awarded the decree of the privy council and promoted to the official position of Qingyuan Festival.

Xing Huan has never been pampered and arrogant, nor has he ever felt that he is kind to Zhao Gou, has been thrifty, honest and honest, after his death, Zhao Gou posthumously presented Kaifu Yi with the three divisions, congratulated Jane, added the young master, and posthumously awarded the title of Jiaguo Gong, in order to show that Xing Huan's life was bright and upright.

In the eighth year of Jianye, the Great Song Dynasty was far superior to the Great Song Dynasty during the period of Emperor Taizu, and the national strength was greatly improved. After eight years of waiting, the Jin soldiers repeatedly invaded the Great Song Dynasty, and Zhao Gou strictly ordered everyone to only defend and not attack, and now the time has really come.

The next morning, Zhao Gou walked out with a smile under the gaze of hundreds of officials, changing his gloomy face in the past, and Zhao Yougong was also very happy. After everyone paid their respects, Zhao Goulong was overjoyed and said: "The time has finally come, it has finally arrived, it has been eight years, eight years, how many eight years of life have it!" I've waited too long for this day to finally complete the great cause of domination. ”

Zhao Yougong was overjoyed, he also wanted to shout out with Zhao Gou, he had held back too much anger in his heart over the years, and he had been holding back, and now Zhao Gou had already said that the time had really come, from passive defense to active attack on the enemy. All the conditions are ripe, and you can launch a counterattack with just one order, and you can no longer endure such grievances.

The civil and military officials looked at each other, not knowing why Zhao Gou was so happy, which made everyone the second monk puzzled, and they all looked at Zhao Gou in surprise, quietly waiting for Zhao Gou's words.
