Ye Li was brought by begging, and Yuan Hao asked: "You send troops to Jingyuan frequently, can you gain anything?" ”

"Your Majesty, I am training the army, not sending troops." Ye Li Yu said in fear. Nori Wangrong was detained and could not return to the prison, which made him smell an uneasy atmosphere.

Training? Li Yuanhao thought angrily in his heart, the one of us Xixia people is not a good soldier on a horse, the Song army is not good at horseback training, what kind of soldiers do we Xixia people train. What are you doing with the little minister in the Song Dynasty who has repeatedly let you go? With a gloomy face, he asked again: "The little prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty gave you some gifts?" ”

"Your Majesty, that's his intention to separate."

"Where is the sword I gave you?"

"Stolen."

"What is this!" Li Yuanhao took out the treasure knife that was given to Yeli Yuqi from the cabinet.

"It's Your Majesty......"

"I stole your knife? Do you want to know who I got it from? ”

"Who is it?"

"Song Dynasty Seed Shiheng!"

Ye Li Yu beggar felt that danger was coming, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know, this must be a kind of Shiheng's discordant plan. ”

"Chong Shiheng is really a good skill, he can actually steal your personal treasure knife, so how can he steal my neck's head?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......"

"Someone's coming, drag him down and hang him."

Yeli begged and shouted that he was wronged, but who listened, he was dragged down and strangled by several people.

Seeing Yeli's begging corpse, Li Yuanhao had a suspicion in his heart. Command someone to bring the letter of light.

Guangxin was locked up in the dungeon for a long time, and was taken into the official temple, and he didn't know where, only to see that he was taken to a spacious hall with a bamboo curtain, and there were a few boys in green clothes standing in the hall, thinking that he had been taken to the Xixia Palace.

Someone behind the curtain asked: "Wang Song, what are you doing when you come to find Ye Limo Ningling?" ”

"What am I going to do, don't you Tangut people know?"

Yuan Hao interrogated repeatedly, but he didn't say anything.

So he tortured, but he still didn't say anything, and finally Yuan Hao was furious and said, "Drag him down and behead him." ”

Guangxin was pulled down, cried loudly, and shouted, "General, I'm sorry for you." General, you sent Song to leave Wang Rongshu, and repeatedly warned me not to leak it, who knew that today unfortunately died empty, and the general's major event was mistaken. ”

is going to die, and continues to say this, it won't be fake, Li Yuan just had a trace of regret and quickly annihilated. Let people drag the light letter back again and torture him.

The fight was very bad, and in the end, Guangxin "couldn't stand it" and shouted: "Don't fight, I'll move." ”

The jailer lowered the letter from the stake, and said, "There is a letter in my underwear." ”

The jailer stripped Guangxin into a bare pig, dismantled his underwear, and sure enough, he found a letter, the letter was very simple, the Yonoli brothers did it when Yuan Hao invaded the Song Dynasty, and the Song army gathered several roads in front of them, and fought fiercely with the Western Xia army.

The letter arrived in Yuan Hao's hand, and he watched Xin Yuan Hao fight a cold war.

Scared half to death, think about it, if he personally led the army to attack Jingyuan Road, the little prime minister of the Song Dynasty would be very difficult, and if the Yeli brothers stabbed him in the back, not only would he be captured alive or killed by the Song Dynasty, but even the Western Xia would be destroyed.

Someone was sent to arrest Yeli Wangrong, handed him the two letters before and after, and said, "Look for yourself." ”

"Wronged," Nori Wangrong shouted.

"Kill." Li Yuanhao let out a low sigh. The times and the situation are different, at this time, the Western Xia lost both wars last year, and there was news that the Khitan and the Song Dynasty negotiated peace, the Western Xia was in an unfavorable situation, and Yuan Hao also believed that the Yeli brothers would plot against the Western Xia and surrender to the Song Dynasty, in order to be the [***]!

After a series of dazzling cooperation, he really asked Li Yuanhao to kill the Yeli brothers.

The matter is far from over.

Also, Queen Yeli, and Yuan Hao's two sons.

Yuan Hao has a total of six wives, the first is the sad Wei Mu, Yuan Hao's cousin, who was slandered by the Yeli clan and strangled the mother and son.

The second wife is more interesting, Soxh. Because he couldn't get Yuan Hao's favor, he tuned the piano and drums, sang and danced in the palace, and entertained himself to pass the time. Yuan Hao was defeated in Yak City, almost all the army was wiped out, and it spread to Western Xia, and the Western Xia people thought that Yuan Hao was killed in battle. Instead of grieving, Suo Shi dressed up and held a party in the palace to celebrate the killing of the demon king by the Tibetans. As a result, the party had just ended, and Yuan Hao returned to Western Xia in a hurry. Soo's knew that it was not good, yes, I didn't need you to do it, I came by myself, took a ribbon, and committed suicide by hanging the beam.

The third wife was Roche, who died young.

The fourth wife is Baa Mi, and she is not favored by Yuan Hao, and she has a son named Ali, who lives in Wangting Town, Xiazhou. When Ah Li grew up, he intended to gather people to cause chaos, and the henchman Esangge denounced it, and Yuan Hao sank Ah Li in the river and gave Ba Mi to death. There are many mysteries in this matter, quite similar to the confrontation between Zhao Zhen and his adoptive mother when he was a child, does Kou Zhun want to support the prince to rebel? Definitely not. However, Zhao Zhen was lucky, and Yuan Hao had several sons, and Queen Yeli had a lot of means, so Ba Mi's mother and son had to die again.

The fifth is Yeli's, who is very beautiful, long-looking, beautiful and wise, and is Yeli's sister, Yuan Hao loves and fears her. Because Ye Li likes to wear a cloud crown, Yuan Hao ordered others not to win the crown.

The sixth wife is Princess Xingping, who is also very sad, and no one can even say exactly how she died.

Next, Yuan Hao will usher in a spring...... A beautiful dream-like spring is in a dream...... When he woke up, winter came.

……

Zheng Lang called Zhang Fangping over.

The sudden realization made him feel happy. If you can achieve it, you can't fulfill your duties, you can do things in people, you can do things in the sky, enjoy it yourself. In the past 5,000 years, how many rare times of benevolence and harmony have there been in China?

But it still has to be done.

How to do it, after thinking about it, I decided to pull Zhang Fangping in first.

The country must change, but how? The failure of Qingli's new policy is not useless, it has made many people reflect, and Wang Anshi's reform has been born.

Not only the new party, but also the old party and the moderates also demanded change, and the moderate ministers represented by Su Dongpo proposed the rule of man, but did not advocate changing the law. Translated into another sentence, Wang Hou will be the prime minister, rather there is a kind?

He also said that the people in the crowded areas were relocated to the open areas of Jingxiang, Tang, Deng, Xu, Ru, and Chencai. Through the field deed, the hidden fields were checked and the equalization was enlisted. Isn't this reform? Or reform!

Sima Guang said that in addition to the peasants' taxes, it is advisable to have no precautions, and to recruit people before the ya, to make up for each other's advantages and priorities, and to take the two households of Fangguo for the shortcomings. This is also a kind of exemption law, a milder exemption law. Isn't it reform?

Then he was enraged by Wang Anshi's changes, so he was defeated and defeated, and even the exemption law proposed by himself was overturned again.

Wang Anshi's changes are even more far-reaching. Not only the well-known Shiyi, Qingmiao, etc., but also the scope of reform is very extensive.

First of all, it was open source, the first was to lose, and it was extended to the later market change, which was also the law with the most opposition in Wang Anshi's reform. Zheng Lang also objected to it, although it was a matter of accumulating wealth for the country, it seriously interfered with the market economy, and it was even more unrealistic. In any era, it is the elite group that controls the country, and the people are the masters of the country, do you believe it? Believe it, and be stupid! The market law will damage the interests of many elite groups, either colluding with officials to make profits in disguise and undermine the new law, or ruining their families. If it is not good for the public and the private, can it be enforced?

Beanstalk. The original intentions of Qingmiao were good, not only to collect wealth for the country, but also to relieve the urgent needs of the people. But once you want to collect money for the country, coupled with improper employment, countless disputes and drawbacks will arise.

Farmland and water conservancy are raised by means of apportionment according to households, exhortation to the rich people to contribute, low-interest loans from the government, etc., recruiting the hungry and poor, sending people's husbands, mobilizing the army to raise labor, and overhauling farmland and water conservancy. This decree is good, but there is another point, and that is to employ people! It seems that there is no harm in the law, but after the following is reached, there are still many disputes.

Mining recruitment system and two letter draw system. It turned out that the mining industry in the Song Dynasty was a quota system, and the new law became two points for the political axe and eight points for the people, and the miners had more personal freedom and reasonable remuneration. The influence of this decree was also quite far-reaching, and it once made the mining industry very prosperous in the Song Dynasty. Of course, it's still a human problem, and there are still disputes.

Exemption laws, not to mention.

Fangtian average tax law, okay, average land property, average tax, but want egalitarianism to be implemented in this feudal era? Is it possible? If this decree is implemented, how many doctors will support it?

The name of the actual seal and the Fangchang River crossing money.

The policy of reducing expenditure is to reduce the number of disarmament troops, reduce redundant officials, and reduce floating expenses.

Financial management, warehouse law, and a separate financial management agency.

The law of strengthening the army and changing it, the art of war, the special supervision of ordnance to improve the production of weapons, the law of protecting armor, and the law of protecting horses.

The reform of the legal system of imperial examination education, the reform of imperial examination, the reform of learning education, and the reform of the legal system.

Each article is subdivided into a number of measures, such as disarmament, simple elimination and withdrawal of the army, Zhulu Supervision Department according to the Chazhou military recruitment is not as good as the law, those who do not serve as forbidden troops will be demoted to the army, and those who do not serve as the army will be exempted from the people. The period of military service has been shortened, and the original number of soldiers has reached 1 in 60, and they are still not allowed to retire, but those who are more than 50 years old in the new law are willing to listen to it. With labor loans, the people are reduced to enlist in the army, the hungry people participate in water conservancy projects, and the soldiers are not taken in by the soldiers in exchange for rations. For example, Shaanxi was cut from 327 battalions to 270 battalions, and a large amount of general school expenditure was reduced. The original forbidden army allowed sons to inherit their father's business, and those who were 55 years old could be replaced by their physically qualified children, but the new law was changed to 40 years old, speeding up the replacement of the old and the new. Proper arrangements should be made for veterans, houses should be repaired, and relocation expenses should be paid to avoid mutiny. In the reduction of troops alone, more than 400,000 forbidden troops have been cut, saving more than 10 million yuan in expenditure a year.

This is the true face of Wang Anshi's reform.

It looks tempting, and it seems that each article is aimed at the current evils of the Song Dynasty. As a result, everyone later knew.

Some people say that Wang Anshi's methods are not tough enough, giving the old party room to survive, which leads to the old party having a chance to fight back.

Zheng Lang also believed that he had been a high-ranking official for a long time and knew how wrong this idea was. Several emperors in the Northern Song Dynasty were not tyrants, and sometimes they didn't speak as loudly as ministers, but it didn't mean that they didn't control the simplest imperial balancing technique, so that Wang Anshi's new party was dominant, and the emperor would be relieved? The system of the Song Dynasty itself was destined to be a moderate system, weak to the outside and relatively generous to the people. Even Song Gaozong was not very evil to the people. Is it impossible to use Shang Ying's method of changing the law to forcibly promote the new law in a bloody way?

When the problem returns to the original point, it is necessary to use moderate means, but it is necessary to consider the interests of all parties more comprehensively, so as to truly promote some good laws and regulations, carry out improvements or reforms, and correct the shortcomings of the Song Dynasty step by step.

One of them is to write a book and establish a theory, and find support from public opinion.

However, people are needed.

It is not necessary to form a party, but it needs the cooperation of some competent people, otherwise it will be difficult to support it alone, and no laws and regulations will be implemented.

So he found Zhang Fangping, he was one of the moderate courtiers, and Su Dongpo became the leader of the moderate faction under the influence of Zhang Fangping.

In addition to Zhang Fangping, there are also Fu Bi and Cai Xiang and others, who have few selfishness, and Zheng Lang attaches great importance to them. But if these two people persuade now, it is estimated that most of them will not listen, and they will have to wait until after the Qingli New Deal to let them know the stakes before persuading. It can't be too late, or Fubi will become disheartened. As for the others, Zheng Lang was skeptical. Anyway, the muddy waters of Qingli's new deal, Zheng Lang definitely don't want to touch it.

Wang Anshi has a long-term vision for some changes, in fact, some decrees, such as a slight market change, the imperial court funded the purchase of grain, balanced the price of grain, and also did it one after another, not to collect money, but to prepare for the famine year. If you don't accumulate money, there will not be many disadvantages, and it's a big deal to make some officials greedy for some money.

Some laws and regulations are better, but if some measures to reduce expenditure, such as farmland water conservancy, and mining, the two-eight-point system cannot be erased just because of improper employment and causing disputes.

Some laws and regulations are inexplicable, such as the Horse Protection Law, horses are divided into ploughing horses and war horses. What is the point of letting the common people raise horses as ploughing horses, but they are used as offerings as ancestors, except to increase the number of horses?

Some are not easy to draw conclusions, such as the armor protection law, in addition to some civil forces originally organized, this armor protection law seems to be very beneficial for all the people to be soldiers, but when the Northern Song Dynasty fell, I didn't see it have any effect. I don't know what the problem is.

Some of the good and bad are uneven, such as the exemption method that outweighs the inferiority, and the seedling method, which outweighs the superiority.

And the impact is too great, so many new laws have gone up together in more than ten years, in a mild atmosphere, what kind of impact will be formed?

Therefore, Zheng Lang said two things today, one is the Qingmiao Law, and the other is the Exemption Law.

The two sat down, and Zheng Lang said, "Brother An Dao, I'm afraid that you and I won't stay long in the Northwest time." ”

"Why?" Zhang Fangping asked confusedly.

"After several years of the Northwest Campaign, the state finances were insufficient, and there was the Khitan press. Now that Xixia is embarrassed, the two sides hit it off......"

Zhang Fangping sighed and stared at Zheng Lang. I'm afraid that today, Zheng Lang is the most unhappy. Seeing that Shaanxi had achieved results, but because of various factors, it had to make concessions to Western Xia, and he would not be willing to change himself.

"Brother An Dao, in the final analysis, it is caused by the lack of state finances," Zheng Lang said with a smile, which was the same as his student Wang Anshi's thoughts. Wang Anshi collected wealth for the country, and somewhat punished Shaanxi for using soldiers this time. If the imperial court still has a financial surplus of 50 million yuan, and the relationship between the Khitan and the Western Xia is broken, will the war against the Western Xia be renewed? After seven or eight years, without fighting, Western Xia itself will disintegrate.

Zhang Fangping shook his head.

It can't be said that the financial income of the Song Dynasty is not much, it is nonsense, and Guan Jian can't save money.

But what to do, Zhang Fangping also felt at a loss, he had some thoughts in his heart, it was a branch or a leaf, it could not be cured, and if it could not be cured, it would be impossible to achieve this goal.

"Brother Andao, I have some experience in Jiangdong and Liangzhejiang, and I have an idea in my heart, I want to open another prison, called a bank."

"Banks?"

Zheng Lang explained.

There are also some commercial forms similar to banks, such as depositing money and loans, exchanging gold and silver, mortgage loans for valuables and fixed assets, and withdrawing money from other places. It's just that the fees are very dark-hearted, and some of the Jews who were taken in by the Song Dynasty are the most outstanding.

Seeing their various means of accumulating money, Zheng Lang was a little embarrassed, and later generations said that the Han people have the second highest IQ in the world, and the first highest is the Jews, I am afraid that it has nothing to do with Einstein, it is to see their business ability.

It is also unsound, especially usury, even if the profit-making scholars and Haoqiang themselves, although some of them operate, they are ashamed.

Don't believe in the Qingmiao Law, since you have accumulated money, how can the officials below issue loans to those people who can't afford to pay them back?

Therefore, the main responsibility of the bank is clearly to collect money, and convenience is only supplemented.

The mode of operation is still through the sale of deed shares, and the government and private individuals jointly operate. It can't be hosted by the government, and I don't know what it will become, and once it is implemented throughout the country, a large number of officials will be needed, which will aggravate the redundancy of officials. You can't let private business become very black-hearted.

There will still be drawbacks in the government-private partnership, but Zheng Lang doesn't see it now.

Even if you see it, what you do is only to make corrections, and nothing can be avoided without negative effects.

Without the support of these elite groups, any change will be like a castle in the air, a mirage, and will eventually fail. Even at the beginning, he collected some money for the imperial court.

The profit is divided into two parts, one part is the withdrawal of money in other places, and some money shops in the Song Dynasty have this form of operation, and the fees are too high. If it is pressed on two or three out of a hundred, there will be many merchants who exchange because of the need for liquidity. Money is wasteful, but as long as one percent of the net income is earned, it can be considerable. It gives convenience to businessmen. Look at ancient novels, how many novels write about a merchant who reveals his possessions and is killed halfway. If this happens, the merchant's property will not be exposed, and his safety will be guaranteed.

The second is to issue loans. There is no fee for deposits and no interest is given. Apply for a loan with fixed assets such as land deeds, real estate, and valuables as collateral. The interest is divided into three types, such as the serious illness of parents, the need for medical expenses, the descendants of meritorious soldiers and ministers, etc., and the annual interest is the lightest, one out of ten. When the peasants do not receive the loans, agriculture is the foundation of the country, and one out of ten is taken out of five. As for the people who have no land and no homes, it is nothing. In disguise, the people are encouraged to keep their fields, and not to reluctantly bring their fields to large households to evade state taxes. Besides, if you want to save it, you can't save it. Once the loans are released, no matter how they are operated, they will also produce bad debts and bad debts, and even no loans will be made to the people at all, so that the officials will borrow the quota and swallow it privately. The third type is the financing of the commercial caste, with an annual interest rate of 2/10.

"Know, the money tellers, pawnshop owners, and loan sharks will oppose it."

"Therefore, the government-private partnership, let them join, help the emergency needs, and charge some interest, even if the master is alive, will advocate it. If it is to accumulate wealth and take the opportunity to bankrupt the people, Brother Andao, do you think it is the right thing to do? ”

"That's fine."

"It's difficult, the usury merchant made the people bankrupt, and the scholar doctor was just gossiping, it had nothing to do with the imperial court, once the imperial court took the initiative to enter. The country is so big, there will always be some unnecessary disputes, what impact does the scholar think the government and the people will compete for profit? ”

"No, the government entered to save the people from fire and water, that is, there are some bad things happening, which is much better than the consequences of usury merchants and fish the people."

"Brother Antao, think about it again......"

It's strange not to gossip and not to impeach. For the sake of power struggle, black and white are reversed, which is a common thing in officialdom!

"Its surname is mainly to collect money for the political axe, followed by the urgent needs of the people, convenient for the people, but as the Antao brothers said, although they encourage Haoqiang to enter with deed shares, the income will be lower than their original way of accumulating money, do you have any complaints in your heart?"

"The hardest part is the currency. Once established, because of its convenience, its profits, and its lending and profit, there will be many people who will take advantage of this prison, or to deposit money or take loans, or to withdraw money from other places, how many copper coins or related gold and silver will be needed? ”

Lacking money, the Song Dynasty had to do the same as the Tang Dynasty and try to concentrate copper coins in the capital. However, commerce was circulating, and it quickly flocked to the whole country, even the Khitan, Western Xia, Tubo, and the Wa kingdom of Goryeo, and the countries of the South Seas.

Paper money is just a big deal, like the United States, issuing more dollars, the key is metal. Therefore, mining overseas, but overseas, there will inevitably be a struggle with the local indigenous people, and only some large-scale mineral deposits can be selected for development. Although the mineral deposits are large, but now the technology is not developed, how many years will it take to make gold, silver and copper meet the monetary needs of the Song Dynasty? Without this abundant currency, the exchange would be a dead letter. Therefore, Zheng Lang thought about the bank in Taiping Prefecture, but he didn't dare to say it.

Suddenly, a scout came in from outside and whispered: "Zheng Xianggong, spy ahead, say that Western Xia killed Yeli Wangrong and Yeli Yuqi successively. ”

"What?" Zhang Fangping was shocked.

As a minister of the Song Dynasty, that one didn't want to kill these two people, why did Yuan Hao cut off his arm?

"True or false?" Zhang Fangping asked again. At this time, under his joy, he seemed to be able to feel the poem written by Du Fu. But seeing where his wife was worried, he was ecstatic with poems and books. Bai said that when you sing and drink, you must indulge in wine, and you will return to your hometown with youth......
