Chapter 254: The minions that were beaten
30,000 taels of gold, about 300,000 taels of silver, converted into copper coins, about less than 500,000 guan, is not a lot of money, compared to the gap of 4 million guan, it can only be said to be a drop in the bucket. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
But the 30,000 taels were obtained from Jiaozhi, that is to say, the business that I thought would lose money suddenly made money, and this joy was exponentially exploded!
After Zhao Zhen, who had a sad face, saw it, he finally smiled, and he read it three times in a row, put the urgent reports of Wang Ning'an, Di Qing, and Zhao Zongjing together, and compared them repeatedly, it is said that when he slept, Zhao Zhen was smiling.
It is also strange to say that several ministers who rely on the pillars are famous all over the world and recognized as virtuous ministers, but they can only send bad news, which makes people's heads big, but Wang Ning'an, as well as his unreliable nephew, always have good news to send.
In five days, he fought hundreds of miles into Jiaozhi, captured the capital, and scared the emperor to death...... At the beginning of the founding of the country, it may not be nothing, but when the blood is exhausted and the country's strength is declining, there is no doubt that it is a shot in the arm.
Zhao Zhen felt excited, the money is not much, the key is the connotation behind it.
It didn't cost money to fight, but it could make money, which made Zhao Zhen dumbfounded and eye-opening.
He carefully studied and read Wang Ning'an's recital, and the mystery of it lies in the idea of innovating operations.
If you press the border from the land army, climb over the 100,000 mountains, and grab it one pass after another, even a famous general like Di Qing will not make money.
Attacking from the sea, the ship can only carry a large amount of baggage, the least consumption on land, surprise, concentrate the elite, tear a hole, and after the victory, immediately withdraw the troops, never drag the mud and water, and fall into a fierce battle...... Zhao Zhen looked at the experience summed up by Wang Ning'an, and thought deeply, isn't fighting a war just to promote strengths and avoid weaknesses!
The Great Song Dynasty had a lot of shipping and ships, so why couldn't it be used?
After the window paper was torn, the train of thought suddenly opened.
"Song Xianggong, rich Xianggong, according to Wang Aiqing's report, he is ready to mortgage a part of the land in Lingnan, and then get a part of the military expenses from Jiaozhi, all in all, he knows that I am difficult, and he will not cause trouble to the imperial court. I also hope that the courtiers in the court can understand Wang Aiqing's painstaking efforts, and don't make trouble for him and stumble! ”
Zhao Zhen grabbed a few notebooks casually, and snorted angrily: "It's all nonsense, and you still guess that Di Aiqing and Wang Aiqing will rebel?" If they rebelled, why didn't they keep the gold and use it as military money? Making something out of nothing, chasing after the wind and catching shadows, is this my courtier of the Great Song Dynasty? ”
Since the last time he talked too much and let Zhao Zhen reprimand, Song Zhen simply didn't say a word.
Fortunately, this time people showed a big face again!
But their faces are hot, it hurts!
Song Zhen began to wonder, is this God bless Wang Ning'an, how can he succeed in anything?
Fu Bi was originally a stuffy oil bottle, but at this moment, he is even more serious, it is better to be silent.
……
After saying two heavy words, Zhao Zhen became kind again, after all, it is the New Year, these two are the pillars of the imperial court, and they still have to do a lot of things, as the emperor, they can't just call and drink to their prime minister, and lose the face of the court.
"These 30,000 taels of gold will not be included in the internal treasury, but will be converted into money and grain, and the officials in Beijing will be reissued! I can't treat my courtiers badly, and I can't make things difficult for you. ”
Song Zhen really didn't expect that Zhao Zhen actually gave them money, this is a great thing, it just so happens that many officials are still crying poor and asking for money, although the Great Song Dynasty's Yulu is high, but it is only a few high-level officials, many middle and low-level officials are not easy, after all, the expenses in the capital are too big, and if they are in arrears for a few months, someone will have to borrow money to live.
This money is just right for the big guys to have a comfortable New Year.
Song Zhen is quite happy, as long as he can deal with this year, he has also been in the position of prime minister for a year, and he can take the initiative to resign, saving himself from being a mouse in the bellows, and he is not pleasing to both ends.
Although the capital is good, the water is too deep, and there is no way, so I still can't afford to play!
Song Zhen is very relaxed, but Fu Bi doesn't see it that way, with his experience, things won't be so simple, this money is not so easy to spend, but he is just a second phase, there is no room for interjection, not to mention that in the past few years, Fu Bi is no longer the original jealous and hateful, vowing to reform the Great Song Dynasty Fu Yan country.
In the face of injustices, Fu Bi learned to be silent, between the national economy and the people's livelihood and the scholars, he became more and more inclined to the interests of the scholars, and Fu Bi's growth perfectly interpreted the mental process of a reformer who degenerated into a super bureaucrat.
Fu Bi guessed well, and sure enough, something went wrong.
It was originally a good thing, but when I heard that the money was snatched from Jiaozhi, I immediately fried the pot.
Especially those officials, they think that this money is ill-gotten gains, and they will use it fiercely, and for the sake of Shilin's reputation, they absolutely cannot accept money full of blood, and whoever dares to ask for money will be impeached, and they will never give up.
Even many officials jointly wrote a letter, suggesting that Zhao Zhen return the gold to Jiaozhi.
They said above board, first of all, the Great Song Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven, a state of etiquette, an example of all directions, and a moral article, which is an example for the four Yi to imitate.
As a result, the Great Song Dynasty raised a large army in vain, attacked the vassal state, and plundered the wealth. What does this make other countries think? They should say that the Great Song Dynasty is the same as the barbarians, they are all overly robbed, insatiable, and brutal, so how can the Great Song Dynasty deal with itself?
Moreover, Jiaozhi is not a small country, and looting and killing will inevitably cause Jiaozhi's gnashing teeth and hatred.
They suggested that the imperial court should not covet temporary small profits and ignore the overall situation of the country. Therefore, they demanded that the emperor issue a decree for the return of the gold, and sent an envoy to Cochin to appease him. It will definitely make the Jiaozhi people grateful to Dade and sincerely belong to the Great Song Dynasty.
Only by surrendering their hearts can they always be at peace. Relying on strong soldiers and bullying the weak will not last long.
Moreover, these people also said that they would punish Di Qing, and Wang Ningan and Zhao Zongjing, they didn't know the severity, they regarded national affairs as child's play, and used soldiers at will, and their crimes were unforgivable......
These people not only wrote the book themselves, but also found Ouyang Xiu, hoping that the old gentleman would take the lead in impeaching the guilty ministers.
Ouyang Xiu knew in his heart that they were letting themselves go to school, and they were obviously forcing themselves to make a choice, if they wanted to continue to be the leader of Shilin and the leader of the literary world, they would follow them to the book and defend the orthodox values of Confucianism!
If you continue to protect Wang Ning'an, you must hand over the status of the leader of the literary world.
In the past few years of hard work, some people have long been dissatisfied with Ouyang Xiu, and the Six Arts School he made is full of deviant theories, although the academic circle of the Northern Song Dynasty has not yet been ruled by science, but all schools are also derived from Confucius and Mencius, and they are very exclusive to the Six Arts School.
All in all, this is no longer that bit of gold, it is completely sublimated to foreign policy, Confucian values, and more importantly, civilian interests!
Think about it, if fighting a war is not about working the people and losing money, but if you can make money, then why not fight? As long as there is a war, civil officials will have to stand aside, and the country will revolve around Wufu, which is worse than digging up the ancestral graves of civil officials.
……
"Jia Xianggong, what do you think?"
Ouyang Xiu looked down on Jia Changchao very much, but at this time, he had to find Jia Changchao to discuss countermeasures.
This Jia Xianggong smiled bitterly, "Drunkard, don't you understand this matter?" They planted Xu Yong's case before, and now they want to get it back. Erlang and they won a big victory, raised the prestige of the country, and gained so many benefits. Your Majesty is merciful, and wants to use this money to gag their mouths, but Your Majesty thinks of them too well, these rotten people, there is no good thing! ”
The officials impeached Di Qing and Wang Ning'an, and the scolding of Jia Chang was also piled up, and this Jia Xianggong was full of resentment and had no place to vent. It was inevitable to speak excessively, but he found that Ouyang Xiu was not angry, but nodded frequently.
"Or Jia Xianggong can see it, but now that the crowd is angry, what should I do?"
Jia Changchao pondered for a long time, "Drunkard, this thing is not easy to do!" Look at their reasons, what soldiers are ominous, what kind of benevolent and righteous state, what kind of country of etiquette, and what do they say to surrender their hearts and make the vassal country grateful to Dade...... Did you notice, there is a key to these statements. ”
"Retreat, right?" Ouyang Xiu is also very agile, and the officials are also improving their skills, they have learned the lesson of the last time, and they don't talk about specific things, just empty talk about some illusory things. However, these rhetoric is in line with Confucian education, even Ouyang Xiu didn't dare to stand up, just say that they were wrong!
"If you can't refute it, they can rely on the strength of the crowd and set off a bigger storm, if Your Majesty can't bear it, in order to calm the matter, the old man may have to roll up and roll home."
Jia Changchao sighed, but peeked at Ouyang Xiu, he knew that the relationship between this and the emperor was extraordinary, and the most important thing at the moment was that Zhao Zhen should stabilize and not be led astray by the officials.
Ouyang Xiu pondered for a while and said with a smile: "Xianggong Jia, Your Majesty is different from before, but now I am worried about Lingnan." In case the Jiaozhi people are unwilling to fail, they want to take revenge on the Great Song Dynasty and start a war, we want to send troops and money to help Erlang and them fight, and these people will come out to interfere. There is a shortage of food and grass, and if Erlang and they are defeated, things will be in trouble. ”
Jia Changchao nodded again and again, "Yes, at that time, they will not admit that they wear small shoes with their hands and feet, but will blame Erlang and prove that they are right." ”
Ironically, there is a group of people who want their soldiers to be defeated in order to maintain their values! These people are really similar to some liberal economists in later generations, and only when the theory of China's collapse comes true can they show their cleverness, and these people look forward to it, watch, and as a result, day by day, their faces are beaten into pigs' heads, and they are miserable.
……
When the matter comes to Wang Ningan, does he have a way to turn things around?
Don't say it, there really is!
Just when the capital was in chaos, news suddenly came that Li Rizun, the prince of Jiaozhi, came to pay tribute, and brought rich gifts, as well as a letter of invitation, hoping that the Great Song Dynasty could forgive Jiaozhi's sins, and Jiaozhi was willing to be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty for generations.
When the news reached the capital, countless people suddenly spurted blood and suffered internal injuries, feeling that the three views had collapsed, the mountains and rivers were broken, and the warm expressions were torn to pieces one by one, for fear that people would see them......
