In October of the fifth year of Jing You, Yuan Hao followed the advice of his confidant Yang Shousu and officially rebelled against the Song Dynasty. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info set the country name as "Great Xia Kingdom", because the Tuoba clan was made by the Tang Dynasty to make the Xiazhou Festival, and it has nothing to do with the Xia Dynasty of the three generations. Yuan Hao called himself the ancestor of the Great Xia Shizu Wuxing Fa Jianli Renxiao Emperor, changed the Yuan to the first year of the Heavenly Grant Yanzuo Rite Law, and sent an envoy to return the Song Dynasty to reward him with the official proclamation.

The intelligence system of the Privy Council in the northwest has long been completely abandoned, and Yuan Hao has been reversed, but no information has been transmitted to the imperial court for a long time. Even the army of the northwest border prefecture could not figure out the situation for a while and did not dare to report it.

It was in October that Xu Ping completed the compilation of the three divisions, which was officially submitted to the imperial court, and Zhao Zhen's order was promulgated to the world, and the book was written as an order.

This compilation is different from the previous ones, not only the deleted and merged laws and regulations into a system, but also officially stated in the frontispiece that the three divisions of money and grain are for the benefit of the world, is the great righteousness of the world, money and food are the key, and the four seas are safe. This is a decree to affirm the New Deal, from companies to banks, all kinds of changes have become a long-term policy of the state, and there is no longer a trial nature.

It is also in this month that Si Tianjian Yang Weide played, the next leap year is in December, then the first month of the second year is just the eclipse, please change the leap month. Zhao Zhen didn't allow it, saying that the leap was so that the heavens were sometimes civil, how could he avoid it. Zhao Zhen has never believed in such a thing as a change in the sky, and there was a New Year's Day solar eclipse in the last leap year. Zhao Zhen may not be proficient in military, economic and other affairs, but politics has always been his specialty. At the beginning of the year, Song Qi once said that Zhao Zhen should not hand over everything to the minister, but should exercise his own authority, Zhao Zhen just looked at it. The reason for handing over everything to the ministers is that Zhao Zhen can basically grasp the thoughts of these ministers, and although there are deviations, they will not be too far away.

On a crisp autumn day, Xu Ping hosted a banquet for pavilion officials in the back garden of the Yongning Marquis Mansion outside his city.

Everyone sat down, Xu Ping raised his glass and said: "There have been no major events in the DPRK and China recently, and the weather is fine today, please come here to relax." In addition, the pavilion has made annotations for "Rich Country and Security Policy", and the book has recently been completed, which should also be celebrated. ”

Song Qi, who was also judging the pavilion, said with a smile: "Annotating the book is what pavilion officials should do, what merit?" However, I haven't drunk the wine in the house for a long time, and it is a good thing to have this opportunity to disturb it. ”

Hearing this, all the officials laughed together. In the past two years, Xu Ping has been busy with official business, unlike when he was the deputy envoy of salt and iron, he often invited the idle officials of the pavilion to have a banquet, and the good wine and food at his house have indeed not been available for a long time.

Kaifeng Mansion Pusher, Zhishi Museum Su Shen said: "The lower official is in the Chongwen Academy, and I often hear my colleagues talk about giving the best wine in the world, but since the lower official went to the capital, he didn't have the opportunity to get it. Today I finally have a chance, which is a blessing. ”

Xu Ping looked at Su Shen and nodded with a smile: "If the history museum is a good wine, you can come to my house at any time." ”

Su Shen didn't dare to say anything, but he couldn't help but have a smug look on his face, and he had some intention of showing off his relationship with Xu Ping to his colleagues. At the beginning of the year, Su Shen was the most diligent in the book, and he was quite enterprising.

In fact, Xu Ping is not familiar with Su Shen, and he has no special impression of him, and he is friendly to him because he has a good son. Su Song is a rare and learned person in this era, and he is interested in science, and he was recommended by Xu Ping to study in the pavilion a few years ago, and he can freely enter and leave the Chongwen Academy. Xu Ping returned to Beijing as an official, and still often came to Xu's mansion to ask for advice, and he was both a teacher and a friend.

Panpan often pestered Su Song to play together, and Lin Suniang was quite optimistic about him, and intended to give him Panpan, and had discussed it with Xu Ping. Xu Ping was still too young because Panpan was still too young, so he asked Lin Suniang not to move these thoughts now, just let it be.

Seeing Su Song following behind Su Shen, Xu Ping said to him: "Why didn't you respond to this opening?" ”

Su Song stepped forward and bowed: "Give things, students are in the pavilion, and they feel that their knowledge is not enough, and it should be the time to concentrate on learning, but there is no understanding." After a few years, it's not too late to read more books. ”

Xu Ping smiled and nodded: "It's good that you have this ambition, but can you learn the same as the Jinshi, the so-called live to learn all the time." The age has arrived, and the next time I open the department, I will be a jinshi. ”

Su Song respectfully agreed.

This is what the old father-in-law told his son-in-law, and the officials around him looked at the hall and laughed, which made Su Song's face red.

Although it is not clear, Xu Ping's importance to Su Song is seen by everyone, and Xu Ping's eldest daughter Panpan is also growing up slowly, and her thoughts are naturally self-evident. Su Song obviously didn't reject it, even if he had already been booked there by Xu Ping.

Panpan is eleven years old this year, and Su Song is nineteen years old, and the age difference is actually a bit big. However, it is not easy to find such a promising young man with his own appetite, Xu Ping had to let Su Song wait a few more years, and it is not unthinkable for a man to marry a wife in his thirties. When I was a teenager, I studied hard in the cold window, and then married a wife after winning the Jinshi, which is the dream of many scholars in this era. Xu Ping was like this back then, so what was there to let his favorite son-in-law do this.

With Xu Ping's current status, no one will be tempted by the people he fancies. Fighting in political affairs, you come and go is a common thing in officialdom, but offending in private matters is another matter. It is clear that Xu Ping has a great future, and there is such a relationship between Li Yong and Li Yong, and the weight in the emperor's heart is not ordinary, and it is uncomfortable to offend him in private matters.

Everyone sat down, and after three rounds of drinking, Xu Pingcai said: ""The Policy of Enriching the Country and the People" is a policy made by me on Jingxi Road when I saw that the state affairs were not easy, and the money and food were difficult, and I worked together to govern the country and the people. So far, it has been practiced for many years, not to mention anything else, at least it can be said that there will be no shortage of national use after the policy is implemented. A year ago, the Hedong Road earthquake killed and injured tens of thousands of affected households in the three prefectures, and countless livestock. The Third Division had money and grain, and in two or three months, hundreds of thousands of stone grains and rice were transported from the east and west of Beijing, so that the victims were not short of food and clothing. If it was in previous years, the imperial court would have to vigorously raise such a major event, and it might not be able to raise grain. Nowadays, saving such a disaster has no impact on national affairs at all, where did you dare to think before? Before transporting the grain, the saint also specially asked the three divisions that if it was not easy to raise money and grain, they could allocate money from the inner treasury. The saint is benevolent, and he should be grateful for the courtiers, but these money and food are indeed not difficult for the current three divisions, so he had to refuse. ”

After Xu Ping finished speaking, all the officials were in praise. It's not a compliment, it's genuine. Since Xu Ping returned to the capital to take charge of the three divisions, the finances of the imperial court have undergone earth-shaking changes, and everyone has seen it. In the past two or three years, almost all the excesses and miscellaneous taxes of the people have been abolished, and the money in the hands of the government is still abundant. Even these officials have also received a lot of benefits, and with their grades, they used to have to remove a small half of their salaries only when they were paid, but now all of them are paid, which is equivalent to a general salary increase. Moreover, Xu Ping was more lenient than before for the ministers' money from various yamen, and the amount was more, and it was not as troublesome to spend as before. As long as you don't take the minister's money to your own home, you can use the minister's wallet for basic personal daily use. Of course, the minister's money is relaxed in line with the audit department's stricter investigation, and it is convenient to use according to the rules, but what is carried in his pocket is strictly controlled.

It is difficult to do things in the court, but in the eyes of these middle and lower-level officials, Xu Ping is the first capable official in this dynasty.
