Chapter 518: Five Questions

Yang Shousu suddenly hardened and said, "If that's the case, how can you discuss it?" ”

"It's not important, but you must be thinking in your heart at this time, this method is not bad, but you can't anger the Khitan right now, and you can't implement it. Looking at what happens in the future, it is also a policy to supplement the country. However, even if you agree, you won't admit it. If I were to grasp this handle, wouldn't I use it? ”

Yang Shousu's face was as angry as purple pig liver.

Zheng Lang turned his head to Ouyang Xiu and said, "Uncle Ouyang Yong, they will be handed over to you." ”

Say the bottom line by yourself, and then use a small counter-strategy, and then let Ouyang Xiu grind slowly. And Yu Jing kept humming, pulling Ouyang Xiu in, and saving these people from annoying.

However, Ouyang Xiu's repeated negotiations made many gentlemen have an illusion, first Ouyang Xiu suggested using Gyeongju Zhizhou Sun Wei and Yin Su to make a reversal, Sun Xun is not stupid, because a water Luocheng, Jingyuan Road is like boiling water is boiling, the above table said that I am sick, let me rest. So someone asked Di Qing to know Weizhou.

When Yu Jing heard about this, he played a recital, which was very long, divided into four sections, two large sections sandwiched between seven and eight to discuss Shuiluocheng, and four major paragraphs to discuss Di Qing, saying that Jingyuan Luyuan was the most important in Shaanxi, since Fan Zhongyan did not dare to be alone, how could Di Qing be a rough person, and he could be a full-time person?

Listening to Yu Jing spitting, Zhao Zhen glanced at Zheng Lang helplessly, and was really taken seriously by Zheng Lang. So he issued an edict to let Wang Su know Weizhou, Sun Wei continued to know Qingzhou, and Yin Su became Zhijinzhou.

So far, Fan Zhongyan and Zheng Jian have won a big victory.

But Zhao Zhen finally couldn't wait any longer, and couldn't let this group of gentlemen toss anymore, but he still calmed down and asked five questions to Erfu.

Who is the right person to control the West?

The people's strength is poor, and the financial endowment is not strong.

There are still many military horses, how can they be precise?

How to deal with the discord between the generals and ministers?

The zealous people should be plugged and competitive.

The actual rules were aimed at Fan Zhongyan's Junzi Party and the New Deal.

Who is it suitable for? The town is in the West. This is related to Article 4, Zheng Lang has clearly pointed out that there are many famous generals in Shaanxi who can come in handy, but they are not useful. However, Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan never said that a Shuiluo City would quarrel like this, if something big happened like this, how could it happen?

Fan Zhongyan negotiated with Fu Bi and Han Qi to draft an answer. Yuan Hao sent people to Que, and the name and body were slightly smooth, although Rong people were difficult to believe, they could also be expedient. If it is overturned, it should be chosen to be the commander of moderation, if it is reconciled and combined, send the talent to pacify and longitude the border. Just in case. Yuan Hao's mind has not yet been figured out. This town is inconvenient for people in the West.

At the beginning of the New Deal, it was said that the world would be governed in a few months, but now the people's strength is poor, the financial endowment has not improved, and even the commercial tax does not dare to gradually reduce back to the original tax rate, and the other taxes are not less, and the people continue to live a hard life.

Among them, there is also Zheng Lang's adjustment work, otherwise the world will be even more difficult. Why?

Fan Zhongyan was forced to have no choice. I have to say that the ministers and others will discuss it, and the country will reform the violence of the five generations of candidates, seize its authority, spend money, and support the soldiers of the world. This leads to the fact that the longer the time, the heavier the tax. Side affairs together, the rate of adjustment is hundred, and the people are poorer. Agricultural work is becoming more and more reduced, there is no preparation for floods and droughts, taxes are not paid, and the number of reductions and releases is often one million. You can't blame me, you have to blame me for the system of the two ancestral emperors. They dare not say it openly and implicitly shirk their responsibilities. But what was said at the beginning can be solved. So he said the solution, elected good officials, worked on the safety of agriculture, repaired the prevention of floods and droughts, and reaped the benefits of heaven and earth. The strict order of encouraging farmers made the officials of the world concentrate on persuasion, and the people were diligent in the crops, and in a few years, great benefits were visible. and the goods of the mountains and seas, which are inexhaustible. However, the state has lightly changed its laws and regulations, and it is deeply taken from others, and the business is not compatible, and the financial use is self-sufficient. The imperial court must gather to discuss and reform in the long run, so that the wealth of the world will be free from delay. If we also reduce redundant troops and live within our means, we will be able to achieve prosperity and strength. …,

I finally realized that it is necessary to reform in the long run, and it is impossible to rule the world in a few months.

It has also seen significant savings in the Reduction Conference. But Guan Jian's large-scale military reduction, even including many decrees, how to deal with the aftermath has nothing to do with Fan Zhongyan's Qingli New Deal, even if it has a relationship, they only propose to reduce troops, but according to their method, it is impossible for Zhao Zhen to agree to the large-scale reduction of so many old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers?

In the Song Dynasty, tax revenues were shifting, and crops were only one aspect, and exploitation from the peasants was ultimately limited. Furthermore, what about the provisions of the various laws and regulations?

Zhao Zhen was angry and happy when he saw this answer.

There is no comparison and I don't know, maybe I only know that I am not satisfied, but there is a comparison that can clearly see where their defects are. Look at a two-tax law, repeatedly balanced, with all kinds of detailed laws and regulations, and even use him as an emperor. It's no wonder, for the sake of the country, even he, the emperor, can use it. This is the way to change. But what is Fan Zhongyan's answer?

There are a lot of soldiers, and this time they are cut ruthlessly, there are still a huge army of more than 100,000, and if you count Baoding, the native soldiers in the future, plus the volunteers and archers on the border, you will add nearly 600,000 people. The Song army performed well in Shaanxi, but looking at its performance during the uprising last year, it returned to its original form.

Zheng Lang also said part of this answer, elite soldiers, training, awards, and selecting generals to dominate them.

Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan had to play again, Shaanxi Eight Things, after repairing the border village, the native soldiers were willing to defend the village and move to the border army, the local soldiers were redundant and reduced and returned to the peasants, and the eastern soldiers entered the second border to get grain and grass, and went to the border on the side, and the archers on the edge built forts to live, and sent people to see the key points of the mountains and rivers, and the soldiers were 20,000 cavalry and 3,000 to prepare for the attack, and the enemy was to seize the key mountains of Hengshan, and repair the village according to the danger. and played the five things of Hebei.

Some Zhao Zhen also agreed, and some Zhao Zhen was suspicious, but why did he say it until now?

The discord between the generals and ministers, Zheng Lang said it more clearly, it is the result of the lawlessness of the ministers. But let Fan Zhongdrown on Xu Huaide and Zhang Kang, and the generals are not like each other, love and evil attack each other, all the bosses will be curbed, and they will be appointed according to their talents, so that each has its own place, and the resentment will not be born. Therefore, the handsome talent does not dare to be easily selected. It has nothing to do with Wenchen, it's all the fault of the generals.

When Zhao Zhen saw this, he was happy again.

The last one, the zealous people, should be plugged and competing, which is directly aimed at the Gentlemen's Party itself, Fan Zhongyan has no way to answer, he can only pull it elsewhere, the zealous and greedy people, how can there be no generation? The court discerns and advances and retreats, such as the responsibility for the effectiveness of the people, the quiet of the people, the corrupt and the impostor, and the attachment of the people, then the many people know and advise, and each has a heart of honesty. Zhao Zhen is talking about impetuousness, which leads Fan Zhongyan to the trend of corruption and inflammation.

This answer is submitted, will Zhao Zhen report it?

Not reported. Fan Zhongyan faintly felt that it was not good. So it was played again, and His Majesty's edict asked, who is the right person to suppress the West? If Your Majesty is afraid that in case of an eventuality, the ministers will be dismissed to participate in the governor's affairs, and the county on the border will be known in the name of appeasement, which is enough to take care of the side affairs.

Still not reported.

……

The capital in June. More than a million people, as well as hundreds of thousands of forbidden soldiers, and their families, crowded into the city, and several well-developed water systems made the water vapor even stronger, hot and stuffy.

When she came back from the next duty, Jiang Xinger called for well water. Zheng Lang hurriedly rinsed it. At this time, he remembered the life of air conditioning in his previous life, without air conditioning, at least one electric fan. Zheng Ping was eating melons with three small dots. A few mothers couldn't stand the heat early and fled back to their hometown.

Si'er held a fan and fanned the wind for Zheng Lang.

Zheng Lang said: "Si'er, you have followed me for more than ten years, and more than ten years will pass in the blink of an eye." ”

"That's a slave's blessing."

"Wrong, it's my blessing." Zheng Lang said. After drinking tea for a while, a heart settled.

Just as he was about to prepare for the meal, Han Qi barged in, sat down and asked, "Xingzhi, why did Your Majesty ask Wujo?" ”…,

"Your Majesty's heart, how do I know?"

"You often go to the Ying Pavilion to speak for Your Majesty, there should be rumors."

"Childish. You have also been a counselor in the past, and the things you have been admonished are inseparable, why? Although the ancestral family law allowed Yanchen to boldly admonish, there is a rumor that he is not guilty. But Yanchen made mistakes in impeaching hundreds of officials, and it is his duty to supervise the mistakes and omissions of the government. ”

"Your Majesty......"

"I don't know your majesty's intentions, but the word wind will never come out of my mouth. Besides, the war between Western Xia and the Khitan is imminent, and once the war is over, no matter who wins or loses, I must go to the Khitan. What is the purpose of the Khitan to send me as an envoy, you don't know. This is life and death, I don't prepare in advance, do I really stay in Khitan to be the second Su Wu? There is also national politics, and I have to give lectures and write books. That time to think about something else? ”

Han Qi had no choice.

However, this person gave Zheng Lang a headache, and said: "I don't know Your Majesty's intentions, but Zhigui, if you think about it, a small Shuiluo City will make a fuss like this, what will Your Majesty think in his heart?" Also, just a bridge, leaving filial piety behind, what does Your Majesty think? If it is not the arrival of the great rule of the world as you said last year, it will be slightly effective, and it will make Your Majesty feel at ease. What now? ”

"Shilu has been relegated to Jinju."

"I don't want to say much about the matter of Shuiluo City, Zhigui, since you are here, please have dinner with me."

As soon as Zheng Lang's words fell, suddenly there was a strong wind outside.

"It's so cool," Zheng Ping and Zheng Hang jumped up happily. Zheng Lang said: "The Lord doesn't keep guests, Brother Zhigui, don't refuse." ”

Jiang Xing'er was secretly happy on the side and said, "Official, Han Xianggong, you are not afraid of that edict." ”

"Good deeds that Jun Mo did!" Han Qi said angrily. If there was no edict and everyone sat down to negotiate, even if it was a negotiation, so many things would not have happened.

Zheng Lang smiled silently. Even without this edict, Han Qi would not compromise with Fan Zhongyan.

Huge clouds came up, lightning and thunder roared, and a June storm arrived.

Cui Xian was also on guard against this Han Xianggong, afraid that this big gentleman would be angry, so she deliberately prepared two more exquisite side dishes and served them. Han Qi said again: "Xingzhi, let's make a foundation, what is Your Majesty's attitude towards the new policy?" ”

"How can Your Majesty say to me, I am not a chamberlain, and I am not a concubine. Even if it is a concubine, His Majesty will not talk about such a big thing casually. But a month ago, I told Brother Sivin that the New Deal would fail. This is my speculation, and it has nothing to do with Your Majesty. ”

"Xiwen misunderstood me, I knew that I would not return to Beijing and stay in Shaanxi."

Zheng Lang was stunned, did you hurt Fan Zhongyan, or did Fan Zhongyan harm you? Zheng Lang was so choked that he didn't want to speak, and at this moment, a humble guest in his family came in to report and said: "Xianggong, the big thing is not good, just now a lightning struck the Spirit Pagoda, and the entire tower of the Spirit Pagoda was blown down. ”

Han Qi was shocked, and the wine cup in his hand fell to the ground......
