Chapter 903: Coolies for Farmers

In recent years, it is not uncommon for officialdom to rise and fall, but there are really not many people like Wen Yanbo who quickly counterattacked. The Jeju pilot failed, and he made a lot of things, was dismissed as prime minister, and ran away to teach at the Royal Academy, and later went to Western Xia...... The big guys are all thinking that Wen Xianggong is going to sink into the sand this time, and he will never come back, so he may be buried in another country.

But who knows, the people not only live well, but also live more and more nourishing.

Mighty, with thousands of carts of gifts, and a large number of soldiers, hugging each other in front and back, the scenery is infinite.

"It's really a fucking nine-life cat demon, the villain has a will!"

Jia Changchao spat fiercely, "Drunkard, if I don't ask for a leave, you can greet Wen Kuanfu." ”

"Don't!"

Ouyang Xiu hurriedly waved his hand, "Brother Ziming, if you are not there, just rely on the younger brother, but you can't suppress the scene, the family Wen Xianggong has brought 55,000 strong laborers this time, which is really a credit to the community." ”

"Phew! I don't know how many people this old man has forced to die! I can smell blood when I don't see anyone! If I'm wrong, you two will rip my head off and use it as a flask! ”

Wang Anshi smiled bitterly, and said in his heart, how dare we!

However, he agrees with Jia Changchao's opinion, if you want to talk about it, Wang Ningan uses Wen Yanbo, just use one word: ruthless!

After walking outside for so long, Wang Anshi has long been less scholarly. For example, when he was young, he couldn't understand why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was so wise and martial, why did he like to use cool officials? Could it be that the emperor is mediocre?

Of course not, because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wants to do something, to fight the Huns, he must have money, he needs grain, the wool is out of the sheep, and if he doesn't ask for money from the people, how can he fight abroad?

If they are all good officials who ask for the lives of the people, who will see the people under their rule have no food and clothing? It is definitely necessary to ask the imperial court to reduce or exempt money and grain taxes, but the problem is that there is only so much money, and if the common people are exempted, they will not be able to fight, and if they want to fight, they will have to suffer the people...... Politicians, if they just choose between good and bad, it is too simple, even a three-year-old child knows what to do.

Those who have always achieved great things are famous all over the world and slandered all over the world!

In other words, it is precisely because of the obvious shortcomings that the great talent has been achieved!

These are two sides of the same coin, which are fundamentally inseparable.

Fortunately, with a character like Wen Yanbo, if the bad side is transferred, the people of the Great Song Dynasty will be able to live a little easier.

I really can't say good or bad!

Perhaps, Wen Yanbo's contribution is countless times greater than that of those Qing officials and direct ministers!

Thinking of this, Wang Anshi just shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Suddenly, the sound of drums sounded.

It's Wen Kuanfu who has arrived!

Wang Anshi hurriedly shook his head, put on a serious face, and accompanied the two ministers to the suburbs to welcome Wen Yanbo.

Facing the civil and military forces in the capital, as well as the three ministers, and the crowd who came to greet him, Wen Yanbo was full of spirits, as if he was ten years younger.

Hahaha!

I'm back!

There is nothing more gratifying in this world than the homecoming group, he deliberately took two steps late, and when Jia Changchao and others came over, he walked over quickly, far away, and said with a smile: "How can Wen Mou, how can he bother a few brothers to greet him, I am really ashamed, ashamed!" ”

Ouyang Xiu smiled heartily, "Minister Wen has worked hard and made great achievements, and he is really a model of a courtier, and I admire him very much." ”

Wen Yanbo hurriedly waved his hand, several people got together, and after a few words of greeting, Wen Yanbo turned to Wang Anshi.

"Jiefu has also returned to Beijing?"

Wang Anshi nodded, "I came back ten days ago." ”

"I heard that Jiefu is on a trip to Shennong this time, so he must have gained a lot, right?"

Wang Anshi frowned, when Shandong was piloting, he and Lao Wen stood on opposite sides, and wrote secret recitals to Zhao Shu several times, and they all told Wen Yanbo fiercely, Wang Anshi is not weak-hearted, but when he really faces each other, he will be a little embarrassed.

can only say politely: "The younger generation is ashamed, thanks to the imperial court, but he is repeatedly impetuous, misleading the country and the people, and has failed the trust of the saint." ”

"Hahaha!"

Wen Yanbo laughed loudly, "Jiefu is polite, do you see it!" ”

He pointed at Jia Changchao and then at Ouyang Xiu.

"We are all old, and we won't last long, and the future of the country will still be yours. The old man believes in Jiefu! ”

Wen Yanbo took the initiative to pull Wang Anshi's arm, ignoring his dirty official uniform, and said with a smile: "I heard that the big wedding of the saint is imminent, and Jiefu teaches her daughter, which is really enviable!" ”

Wang Anshi blushed even more, as if I had no ability, and I could stand here by relying on my daughter! He looked a little cramped, but Wen Yanbo continued: "This time, in order to congratulate the Holy Lord's wedding, the old man also put a lot of thought into it. ”

Wang Anshi raised his eyes, and sure enough, there were thousands of carriages, and they couldn't see the end at a glance, and each car was full of them, and they had to be pulled by three animals, and there were really a lot of things!

At this time, Jia Changchao, who had not spoken, suddenly said in a muffled voice: "When it comes to knocking bones and sucking the marrow, I'm afraid that no one in the world can beat your brother!" By the way, there are still a few words circulating on the streets of Xijing, listen to them...... Grabbing the mud swallow mouth, sharpening the iron needle, the golden Buddha scraping the face and searching carefully, looking for something out of nothing; Mosquitoes scrape fat oil in their stomachs, cranes split fine meat on their legs, quails look for peas, and they lose this man! ”

After Jia Changchao read it, he smiled slightly, "Brother Kuanfu, what do you think?" ”

Wen Yanbo's old face changed color instantly, and he quickly recovered.

He knew in his heart that Jia Changchao was angry in his stomach, and his eyes were red when he saw him fishing for a lot.

Wen Yanbo laughed, "Brother Ziming still likes to joke so much...... The old man does things, but he wants to be worthy of his heart! Western Xia rebelled against the Great Song Dynasty and brutalized living beings, and your brother Ziming also lost the battle back then! How many soldiers and brothers, villagers and people, died tragically at the hands of Li Yuanhao and Li Liangzuo's father and son, the blood is deep, and they don't share the sky! I, Wen Yanbo, uphold the holy will, and the governor of Western Xia, naturally have to find a way to resolve the anger on them, eliminate hatred, and make the two sides a family...... Why, it's definitely inappropriate for Brother Ziming to do this? ”

"Yes, of course it's right!"

Jia Changchao gritted his back molars and said, you old thing is shameless!

Black can be said to be white!

Several of them were surrounded by guards, and the rest of the military and civilian officials were far away, and they didn't know what to say at all, just a few old friends were happy and had a good conversation!

Ouyang Xiusheng was afraid that outsiders would hear it, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother Kuanfu has worked hard, hurry up and enter the city, Your Majesty is still waiting!" ”

In this way, surrounded by a group of people, Wen Xianggong returned to the capital in a majestic manner.

Lao Wen's movement this time is really not small.

He brought back 200,000 taels of gold, 1,000,000 taels of silver, all kinds of jewelry and jade, countless others, and 200 cars of the best cashmere, and the rest of the local treasures.

It is conservatively estimated that the total price is also more than 5 million.

This money was dedicated to Zhao Shu for the wedding, so it was directly given to the inner money without going through the household department. The little eunuchs in charge of the inventory were dumbfounded, the same, box by box, tired and sweaty, dumbfounded.

The big guys all agreed, and they had a thought, Wen Xianggong is really a loyal minister!

It's so capable!

As the saying goes, eating people has a short mouth, and taking people has short hands, even Zhao Shu was very tired of Wen Yanbo in the past, this time he had to greet him with a smile and sit immediately.

"Wen Xianggong has worked hard, with so many things, it's not easy along the way, right?"

Wen Yanbo immediately said: "Your Majesty's wedding is the world's first-class grand ceremony, I want to be a great Song Dynasty, work hard, the country is strong and the people are rich, Your Majesty has good food and clothing, great merit, and the people of the people, dedication to filial piety, it is also a duty to do, and I dare not say that it is hard." After the nice words were finished, Wen Yanbo said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, these things, in fact, are also returned to their original owners." ”

"Returning to its rightful owner?"

Zhao Shu was stunned, and Wen Yanbo immediately explained: "Back then, we negotiated peace with Xixia, didn't we have to give a New Year's gift every year?" ”

"It turned out to be this money!" Zhao Shu suddenly realized, and immediately asked: "Xianggong Wen, have you brought it back?" ”

"Well, the old minister checked the archives of Western Xia, they received silver taels and silk silk from the Great Song Dynasty every year, and in addition to their own use, they also took them to the Western Regions for trade, and these gold were earned by them!"

"Damn it!"

Zhao Shu was so angry that he slapped the table, what a shame!

The dignified Song Dynasty actually wants to send money to Western Xia, which is really embarrassing! No wonder my father never forgot to destroy Western Xia and take revenge!

Carefully calculated, from the Qingli period to the Western Xia year, until the Battle of Hengshan, the defeat of the Western Xia, the abolition of the year, there are more than ten years in between, and it is not impossible to accumulate these wealth.

Now that the Western Xia has been destroyed and the things have been returned to their original owners, Father, the spirit of heaven can be comforted!

Zhao Shu looked very excited, "Xianggong Wen, you have done a great job in this matter, you have merit, you have great merit, you say, what do you want me to do, I will promise you!" ”

In the end, it is a young man, and he has no sense of proportion when he is impulsive.

Wen Yanbo really wants to say that the old man wants to return to the political hall, replace Wang Ningan, and give me the position of prime minister!

Of course, he just thinks about it, even if he gives him the position of prime minister right now, he can't sit steadily, not to mention that he has just tossed in Xixia, and the old guy hasn't had enough fun!

"Your Majesty, everything the old minister did was for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, if Your Majesty really wants to reward the old minister, then the old minister implores Your Majesty to allow him to move to the peasant households and go to the Hetao."

"Farmers?" Zhao Shu was puzzled, "Xianggong Wen, didn't Qian Haoqiang pass?" Why do you need farmers? ”

Wen Yanbo smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Haoqiang doesn't know how to farm...... The Hetao piece, the land is fertile, and there is the Yellow River water irrigation, it is simply plugged into the south of the Yangtze River, the minister brought some flour produced in the Hetao this time, Your Majesty might as well try it, it is delicious! ”

Lao Wen said again: "Such a good place, just grazing sheep will be ruined, and Lao Chen is ready to open up the wasteland and farm...... But please rest assured, Your Majesty, the old minister does not want farmers in vain, and they can be exchanged. ”

"How?"

"The old minister is willing to use three coolies to exchange a farmer to go over, and His Majesty is just using coolies to repair the railway...... King Xiliang will also agree! ”
