Zhao Ji got his wish and married Qian Yi's youngest daughter.
His Majesty the Emperor even set a rule that in the future, the royal family would also choose daughters-in-law from small families, and it was not allowed to give titles and powers to relatives.
It was a very good rule, at least in the eyes of Wenchen, very good, and they ruled out another threat.
Today, all the power is vested in the political affairs hall.
After taking over as prime minister, he carried out a thorough reform, he changed the government hall into a cabinet, and used ministers, scholars, and servants as cabinet members, and adopted the prime minister's responsibility system.
His move is controversial.
Originally, the ministers sat down and discussed, and the various ministries were responsible for the implementation, but now all the Shangshu servants are brought in, which is equivalent to diluting the power of the rest of the ministers, and everything is centered on the prime minister.
Including Su Zhe, there are quite a few complaints.
However, Zhang and Wang Shao formed an alliance, won the full support of the military, and successfully implemented reforms.
After taking power, he took a proactive stance and fully supported the policy of marching westward, mobilizing a navy of 300,000 men in addition to the army.
It took a total of 10 years to reach the extreme west and control the Mediterranean Sea in his hands.
At this point, all but some remote, barren, and cold areas of the known world were under control, at least a governor was established and settlements were established.
Zhang Dian drew his sword and looked around, full of pride.
He was confident and kept doing it. In order to win the next term, Zhang drew up a huge set of plans, and in the next ten years, he would emigrate 20 million.
At the same time, 50 additional governors were added to control the new region, and 20 provinces were established in the neighboring Nanyang region, which were incorporated into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.
It's an ambitious and attractive strategy.
Contrary to Zhang's expectations, his strategy was strongly questioned during the discussion at the council. The provinces of the Great Song Dynasty and the secretaries of parliament in various places generally opposed this plan.
And they Hu Guang Province Ping Zhang Shi Cai Jing, as a supporting prime minister candidate, and Zhang Dian started a battle for the prime minister's position.
Cai Jing!
What a thing!
is also worthy of fighting with Lao Tzu!
Zhang Dian looked dismissive, and did not take him seriously at all.
Cai Jing was not annoyed, he was in full swing to win more people's support.
"In the past 10 years, 200,000 of our soldiers have died in battle, and two-thirds of them are due to climate factors. We've lost so many good lads, but what have we gained? I just don't know when the land will be usable. Isn't that stupid? We want to eat eggs, we don't have to start with chickens. If you want resources, you don't have to occupy land. What we need is control, for me, not to make everything mine! Da Song is already huge, and we have too many problems to deal with ourselves! ”
Cai Jingyi is stern, "Our earliest railway, which has been in operation for more than 30 years, has serious aging and frequent accidents. There are more than 200,000 bridges in various provinces, of which eighty percent are overloaded, and one-third are dangerous bridges! More than 350,000 lives are lost every year due to traffic accidents. It will cost us at least 500 million to refresh the infrastructure. That's what matters. ”
"Also, many years ago, we broke through the technology of the internal combustion engine, invented the generator and the electric motor, and our cities started to be lit with electricity! Unfortunately, so far, less than 20 cities have achieved full access to electricity, and the rest are far away, let alone rural. ”
"We must increase investment, spend money on people's livelihood, update infrastructure, support new technologies, blindly expand land, and annex provinces, which is just a great achievement for some people, and it is a big and inappropriate ......"
"Also, foreign trade in recent years is simply the biggest mistake, we purchase a huge amount of goods every year, including agricultural products, textiles, while our agriculture is shrinking, unemployment is high, the trade deficit is serious, our money, our jobs, all lost!"
"Go to the fields, to the factories, to the streets, and listen to what the people really need! Ask them if your life has improved over the past 10 years. Education, medical care, housing, transportation, drinking water, sanitation...... How many people are satisfied? The Cabinet Ministers will only look at those cold numbers and have no emotion in their reports. They are immersed in the lies they weave, and we must change! Be pragmatic, be truly pragmatic, and truly care about people's livelihood and suffering! ”
……
In addition to firing at the parliamentary meeting, Cai Jing also wrote articles himself.
He pointed out that when Wang Ning'an was in power, foreign wars were fought with the least effort and the greatest results. On the contrary, he is a big move, a big scale, and often a big loss!
Zhang Dian sent 100,000 horses to track down groups of tribal horse thieves in the desert, and sent more men and horses to play hide and seek with bandits in the mountains.
"I think the person who went crazy was Cai Jing!"
In the face of a series of heavy artillery, Zhang Dan exploded his lungs, no, he had to fight back immediately. He called his own courage, Su Shi's son Su Mai, over.
"You immediately write me an article, using troops against the desert is to ensure the safety of oil, to eliminate horse thieves, to maintain the smooth flow of the Silk Road, Cai Jing is blind, what can he understand!"
Su Mai did not dare to disobey Zhang's wishes, and immediately complied.
But who knows, after Zhang Dian entered the war, this debate became even more lively.
Cai Jing was fierce in firepower and bombed with all his might, not only criticizing Zhang Dan, but also putting forward his own target.
He accused the cabinet of making more than 150 million yuan a year, giving away the wealth of the people to others, losing tens of millions of jobs, and making the finances miserable.
At the same time, it is necessary to build 10,000 kilometers of heavy-haul railways to maintain the absolute superiority of the Great Song Dynasty in infrastructure.
Cai Jing also has to clean up too many immigrants, especially those who do not have legal laws, Cai Jing plans to deport 800,000 people, and strictly control the import of overseas labor, leaving the work plan to ordinary people......
"You tell me the truth, did you release the surname Cai to bite someone?" Dogtooth stared at the second brother viciously.
Xiao Yu has grown a short beard in the past two years, put on the cloth robe that his father likes, and behaves chicly, quite like Wang Ning'an's original style, he said with a smile: "Big brother, you can't blame me, if you didn't match the match, how could Wang Shao help Zhang Dan?" ”
"Just admit it!" Dog Ya'er stretched out his hand and grabbed Xiao Yan's shoulder, "Let's go, let's talk to Daddy now, let him see what Cai Jing said!" ”
"Let me see what?"
Wang Ningan walked in slowly from the outside and snorted at his eldest son, so frightened that Dogtooth hurriedly let go.
"Okay, I know everything, you step down!"
Wang Ningan stretched out his hand and drove the dog away with the dog's teeth, leaving only Xiaoyu behind.
"Whatever you want to say, tell it!"
Xiao Yu hurriedly bowed down and said: "Dad, the dispute between Zhang Dian and Cai Jing, to put it bluntly, is the priority of Huaxia or the priority of the Great Song Dynasty!" After ten years, the people have borne a lot of burdens, and the child thinks that Cai Jing may be able to correct his mistakes. ”
Wang Ningan listened and said lightly: "Cai Jing's set may be effective in a short time, if it lasts for a long time, you are not afraid of falling apart, and the overseas territories have been divided and set up another mountain, when the time comes, do you have the ability to clean up?" ”
Xiao Yu smiled, "Of course the child doesn't have the ability to clean up, but my eldest brother can!" ”
"Him?"
"That's right, when Cai Jing adjusts the interior, the eldest brother just carries your old banner and completes the entire naturalization cause, under the sun and the moon, it is all Chinese territory!" Xiao Yu grinned, full of pride. Not only does he look similar to his father, but he also learned his father's layout methods!
Wang Ningan was silent for a long time, and snorted, "Okay, you all have planned, what else does the old man have to think about!" Wang Ning'an left with a huff, returned to his study, closed the curtains, loaded a roll of film, the projector slowly turned, and a black and white figure appeared on the screen......
Wang Ningan stared at it, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he said: "I can watch black-and-white movies, but I haven't made a sound, and I don't know if I can use a computer in this life......"
