Redundant officials are not redundant officials. The officials of the Great Song Dynasty, regardless of whether they were sent to the post or not, were as high as 230,000 in the first year of Xining, and if you count more officials who did not have to pay Yulu, the number of officials was as high as 600,000. Combined with the rewards given to officials, the annual cost of raising officials is 16 million.

After the abolition of redundancy was implemented, more than 100,000 officials were dismissed, and all officials were abolished. After the annexation of prefectures and counties, the total number of officials was less than 100,000. However, after the officials are not separated, the officials also have to receive the money, and the gap between the officials and the officials is not very large. On the contrary, the cost of maintaining officials has increased to 23 million. However, in proportion to the national tax, I don't know how much the cost of raising an official has decreased.

The Great Song Dynasty was originally very wealthy, but it was only because the wealth was not turned over and not invested in the field of reproduction that the treasury was empty and the people's livelihood was poor. With the issuance of Jiaozi, almost all the stored wealth was invested in the field of production and large-scale development. Large-scale development has led to the rise of various workshops.

Historically, Wang Anshi's reform of the law and the adoption of state control and macroeconomic regulation and control are enough to show that the Great Song Dynasty was not not rich, but the gap between the rich and the poor was too large, and social production lacked vitality. In history, Wang Anshi's macro-control method can be seen from Wang Anshi's new laws. Why do later commentators often say: Wang Anshi's reform was actually a struggle with landlords and businessmen for the right to distribute the people's labor income, and it was a redistribution of interests within the bureaucratic landlord class, and did not touch on the fundamental social issue of land annexation. Here's why.

The issue of land annexation in the Song Dynasty was not the main problem of society at all, but was only elevated by later historians under the influence of Marx's political science. The real social problem of the Song Dynasty was that the gap between the rich and the poor was too large, social production lacked vitality, and a large amount of social wealth was used by the landlords and bureaucrats for extravagant pleasures!

This problem is also a problem in later generations of China, the gap between the rich and the poor is large, and a large amount of social funds are extravagantly squandered by those local tyrants, and they are no longer invested in the field of reproduction, resulting in an increasing number of idle people in China. 900 million farmers, 800 million are playing mahjong, and a large number of college graduates cannot find jobs.

As far as China's population is concerned, if the size of the economy is not more than four times that of the United States, the living standards of the people, the vitality of society, and the strength of the country will not be comparable to that of the United States at all! After achieving a little achievement, I began to be complacent, began to be comfortable, and began to show off, which is really blind and arrogant!

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji frowned, because the same problem was in front of Zhao Ji. If this problem is not handled well, it will become meaningless to cross over by yourself. At this time, Zhao Ji attached more importance to Wang Anshi, and secretly said in his heart: "With the help of a politician, thinker, economist, and family like Wang Anshi, coupled with the insight of his later generations, can Chinese civilization continue to go to a dead end?" ”

Zhao Ji took a deep breath, cheered himself up, changed his smiling face, stood up, walked towards Wang Anshi, held his hand and said: "The belongings of the Great Song Dynasty are like a few treasures in the hands of Mr., and Yi Yin Wei Zheng is nothing more than that. Da Song, I will entrust it to Mr.! Mr. rest assured that the trip to Quanzhou will not affect Mr. Wang's plan to rule the world. ”

The scene of a gentleman and a minister getting along made Wang Anshi and others very excited, and Wang Anshi and others couldn't help but be ambitious. originally thought that today's trip would be able to convince Zhao Ji, which was already the best result, but I didn't expect to get Zhao Ji's full support! Overjoyed, Wang Anshi knelt on the ground and said in a choked voice: "The old minister must do his best to repay the grace of the saint!" ”

"Holy Lord, it's time for dinner, and the soldiers are waiting for the Holy One to dine together." Li Xiangan walked into the imperial tent and said.

"Sir, get up! Let's go, let's eat! Zhao Ji pulled Wang Anshi up and said happily.

The bright moon hung high, in the school yard of the big camp, the lights were bright, the dining tables were arranged in an orderly manner, and the 30,000 soldiers composed of various ethnic groups stood straight at the dining table, waiting for Zhao Ji's arrival. Usually, Zhao Ji and the soldiers dine together, and they all go in groups, all in the camp tent. Today, 30,000 people are dining together, and Zhao Ji specially celebrates the success of the training of the mountain corps.

After Zhao Ji arrived, the soldiers raised their right arms neatly with a "shabu" sound, and shouted: "Long live the Great Song Dynasty!" Long live the saints! ”

Seeing that these native soldiers were able to say these two sentences sonorously in Chinese, Zhao Ji was extremely happy, and also raised his right arm and shouted: "Long live the mountain army!" Soldiers have worked hard! ”

"Holy Order, sit down and eat!" Li Xiang'an shouted. The voice was quickly passed on, and 30,000 soldiers began to take their seats, eating the sea of raw food.

A dining table is for two people, and Zhao Ji did not hesitate to pull Wang Anshi over and drink at the same table. Wang Anshi was not polite.

After the two of them sat down, the drums sounded, and the women of all ethnic groups and the Keelung Goolan Kabuki formed a condolence group, danced and sang. A dinner party has officially begun.

"Mr. I have a special habit of eating only the dishes that are closest to him. Today I am going to put all the dishes in front of him. Zhao Ji brought the dishes side by side to the table where Wang Anshi was, and said with a smile.

In "Shaw Brothers' Observations", Renzong set up a "flower viewing and fishing banquet", and Wang Anshi, who was the "Knowledgeable Commander" at the time, also participated. An attendant brought the bait and put it on a few tables, Wang Anshi picked it up and ate it, and it didn't take long for him to eat it all. Emperor Renzong noticed it, was dumbfounded at the time, and later asserted that Wang Anshi was a "fraudster". Renzong's reason is very simple, you didn't pay attention to eating one pill, and you didn't notice that you ate the whole plate, is this possible?

However, Zhao Ji doesn't think this is a big bad habit, man, it's good to be simple. From this point, it can be seen that Wang Anshi does not have high requirements for the quality of life. It is better than those officials who eat dozens of dishes and light hundreds of red candles for a dinner, and are greedy for pleasure.

"Hahaha, let the saint laugh." Wang Anshi smiled awkwardly and said.

"Mr. I never drink alcohol, but this wine is different. This is a dessert wine, made with icing sugar, unlike cereal wine. It is a great specialty of this stream. Mr. Taste Taste! Zhao Ji knew that Wang Anshi had the habit of not drinking alcohol, so he specially explained that it was different from wine made from grains.

Sima Guang and Wang Anshi also used to be colleagues when they were young. At that time, the two of them served together under Bao Zheng, also known as Bao Gong Bao Qingtian, as the judge of the Herd Division, and Bao Zheng was their immediate boss -- the Herd Envoy. Once, the peony flowers in the yamen of the herd division were in full bloom, and Bao Gong bought wine to enjoy the flowers. Sima Guang recalled: He never liked wine, but when Bao Gong persuaded him to drink, he still tried his best to drink a few glasses; Jiefu -- Wang Anshi also doesn't like wine, no matter how Bao Gong persuades him, he always doesn't drink a drop of wine, and Bao Gong can't do anything about him. Sima Guang knew from this how stubborn Wang Anshi was.

This character made everyone think that Wang Anshi was very stubborn. But in Zhao's view, this is to adhere to principles and will not be changed by the worldly atmosphere. In terms of moral cultivation, China has been a long 5,000 years, and I am afraid that only the later Premier Zhou Enlai can compare with Wang Anshi.

"Is it sugar cane wine? Wechen wants to see how the quality is. Each country has its own winery, and the price of exported grain wine is relatively low. If sugarcane wine is good, it can be sold in large quantities at a high price. In addition to dessert wine, fruit wine and even spirits can also be made. Perhaps the Great Song Wine Industry can be the same as the tea industry, and etiquette can be formulated. Wang Anshi picked up the transparent wine glass made of glass, shook it gently, and spoke.

"When you eat, you still have to think about state affairs. Mr. I'm a gentleman. Zhao Ji picked up his wine glass and said happily.

"Holy Lord, please!" Wang Anshi said.

After the two greeted each other, they raised their glasses and drank them all.

"Not bad." Wang Anshi was in a good mood.

Li Xiangan filled Zhao Ji and Wang Anshi with wine respectively. Zhao Ji stood up and said, "Rank ministers, please have a full drink!" ”

The Chinese generals of the army stood up one after another and raised their glasses to drink.

"Sir, how should we deal with the decrease in agricultural personnel, the lack of intensive cultivation of fields, and the decline in yields? There are already fewer agricultural personnel, and if the water conservancy is overhauled, I am afraid that it will be too much of a drain on people's resources? After Zhao Ji advised the generals to drink, he sat down and asked worriedly.

History is only about success or failure, regardless of morality, right or wrong. If the population of the Great Song Dynasty fell sharply due to food shortage, then Zhao Ji would be the most famous tyrant in Chinese history, estimated to be similar to Emperor Yang of Sui. The biggest shortcoming of history is that it is incomprehensible, and the same thing is diametrically opposed to each other.

Emperor Yang of Sui's martial arts is not known to be many times stronger than that of Tang Taizong, but because the Sui Dynasty fell, he became a negative teaching material. Needless to say, but when it comes to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Grand Canal, a merit of blessing all generations, other emperors can't catch up. The real reason for the fall of the Sui Dynasty was not caused by the lack of food for the people, but the fact that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty wanted to attack the famous and wealthy families at that time, and was killed by the backlash. The trigger was the failure of the conquest of Goguryeo.

But history regardless of merit or demerit, only look at success or failure, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was defeated, the Sui Dynasty was destroyed, how to write, how to say, it is not to look at those victors. Can a famous and wealthy family who doesn't deal with Emperor Yang of Sui give him a good evaluation? Historically, the same is true of Wang Anshi's reforms. Because of failure, those pens who held the right to speak degraded Wang Anshi to worthless.

The power of the pen, Zhao Ji can be regarded as having seen it. The Yang family general of the Song Dynasty, the widow of the Yang family, was very popular on TV in later generations. It seems that the Song Dynasty would not be able to survive without the widow of the Yang family. However, in fact, this was all made up by people who had a good relationship with the Yang family, from scratch, from existence to exaggeration, and finally caused a sensation all over the world.

Zhao Ji came to the Great Song Dynasty and also looked for the Yang family general, and later learned that the Yang family general referred to the Yang Su family of the Sui Dynasty. And the Yang family of the Great Song Dynasty Yang family is simply a wreck. Yang Ye never won a battle in his life, and was later captured, but fortunately, he was hard-hearted, did not surrender, and was finally executed. With just such a few things, a sensational Yang family general was created, almost on par with Yue Fei's fame.

Yang Ye's descendants have abandoned martial arts and followed literature, and now rely on Zuyin to be a petty official. In the wave of Zhao Ji's dismissal of redundant officials, there has long been no shadow. Zhao Ji was once afraid that if he failed to change the law, would the evaluation of future generations turn the dismissal of the descendants of the Yang family into a self-destruction of the Great Wall?

"Da Song is not short of manpower, what is lacking is orderly arrangement. The cost of raising troops in the Great Song Dynasty accounted for eighty percent of the national tax, and most of the expenditure was spent on the improvement and reserve of weapons and equipment. Of course, this was also a helpless move, there were Khitan in the north, Dangxiang in the west, Jiaozhi in the south, and the Yi rebellion in the southwest, and the Great Song Dynasty had to strengthen its armaments. However, now that the Great Song Dynasty border is peaceful, what the Great Song armies lack is not armament, but long-term training. In the next 10 years, the consumption of armaments should be reduced by 40 percent, and it should be used for the construction of water conservancy roads. Wang Anshi put forward the national policy of centering on economic construction.

"Well, what kind of meat is this?" After Wang Anshi finished speaking, he took a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, found that the taste was very unusual, and shouted loudly.
