Chapter 538: Finale (Finale)
In the fifth year of Jingde, if you follow another time and space, this year the Song Dynasty has become the year name of Dazhong Xiangfu. There are several reasons, the alliance under the city makes Zhao Heng unhappy, the disease is aggravated, and the year is relatively good.
It was a really good year, and there were almost no major disasters in the country.
Natural disasters and military disasters have always been the most worrying thing for feudal rulers.
In a year when there are no natural disasters and military disasters, the pressure will be much lighter. After more than three years of rest and recuperation, coupled with a good year, the Song Dynasty's finances were unimaginably generous. Therefore, when autumn came, Zhao Heng made an exception and issued an edict to exempt the autumn tax of Sichuan Fourth Road, Jinghu South Road, Hebei Road and Shaanxi Road. It may be better next year, because after a few years of rest, Yunzhong and Youzhou can try to collect some light two taxes. Then the two northern roads can at least ensure that there is no need to overdraft the state finances.
At this time, Song Jiu's performance came to the capital.
First of all, he repeatedly explained the reason for using troops in Goryeo. Zhao Kuangyi presided over the plan in the name of the south, and Zhao Heng presided over the invasion of Liao, and the battle to destroy Goryeo, no one in the imperial court knew about the road at all, and Song Jiu used nearly 80,000 Youzhou Road garrisons, tens of thousands of township soldiers, and some joint soldiers of various ethnic groups, as well as a large number of people, and requisitioned many ships.
So it has to be explained.
Then Song Jiu said again, there must be a moderate use of military power at the border, depending on the situation.
If the generals and officials in the border areas are not given military power, as the territory is far away, when the imperial court decides, the consequences will be even worse. However, it must be determined according to the situation, such as the use of troops by Ge Shuhan and Gao Xianzhi, and the use of troops by An Lushan, one is to raise troops with the enemy. One is the real use of troops, and the situation is completely different.
In fact, this is still Song Jiu's mid-level argument.
It's like killing people. The gangsters have come to harm themselves, so don't they resist when they have the ability to resist? Instead, call the police and wait for the police to come, and let the murderer hurt himself before the future? Then it is okay to fight back and kill people in self-defense, but to kill for the sake of killing is guilty.
In layman's terms, it is what the people call justice.
However, this is difficult, what is neutrality? Who can tell?
Therefore, Song Jiu still cannot be called a great statesman, and he may have done most things right, but he has never left a clear ruling thought.
In fact, Zhao Heng really doesn't care, as Wang Dan said, the biggest worry is failure. That is a country, and now the most powerful force in the Northeast. In case of failure, the situation in the northeast will deteriorate in an all-round way, so Wang Dan said that there is merit in victory and there is in defeat.
But if you win, it's over, and everyone cares about something else......
Then Song Jiu talked about money again.
A lot of manpower and material resources were used for this battle, but after arriving in Goryeo. The Song army began to gain, and even after the fight, it was mostly Jin Zhiyang who led the Goryeo soldiers to suppress the opposition, and the Song army just followed behind and paddled the water. Then when he grabbed the goods, he was more active than anyone else, causing Jin Zhiyang to take the initiative to urge the Song army to retreat, and I didn't want your country's army to help.
This saves a lot of money. However, because of the soldiers and horses used before, and the scale of manpower and material resources is huge. Therefore, the follow-up imperial court still has to allocate millions of dollars as rewards and appeasements.
There is no opinion on this article, and only a few million dollars have been allocated for this victory. It's really nothing.
Next, Song Jiu talked about various ideas for the future construction of the Northeast, Goryeo was destroyed, Silla was still a mess of scattered sand, Kim Zhiyang wanted to pacify New Silla, and it was impossible without a year or two of Chenguang. If you want to recover, it will take at least five or six years. On the surface, there is almost no force in the Northeast that can harm the rule of the Song Dynasty, is it the Tatars, it is simply impossible, I heard that the Song Dynasty destroyed the Liao, especially the Northern Blockade tribes that had close contacts with the Song Dynasty, cheered and thundered. Or is it the Ughu Enemy? It is also impossible, under the pressure of the Liao State again, their strength is still very weak, and the Liao State is also divided and governed by them, resulting in constant vendetta between them. Maybe in the future, there will be a hero who will cage these tribes together, but as long as the Song Dynasty continues to divide, then there will be no one who can do it in the next hundred years. Or the northern Murwei people, which were unfriendly to the Song Dynasty, but their population base was too small.
But Song Jiu repeatedly said that the Northeast is in crisis.
If you don't pay attention, you can even crack back from the inside.
Then he said again that the Tang Dynasty gave way back then, that is, Silla instigated the rebellion of the people within Goguryeo and forced the Tang Dynasty to retreat step by step, so Song Jiu expelled all the people to Silla together, but Song Jiu concluded that once Silla was pacified, he would ask the Song Dynasty for land north of the Daedong River. This is a very obscene nation, so Song Jiu deliberately demarcated the border very clearly, and even drew the boundary on the sea. If this is the case, the imperial court must not let it, and if they give up one step, they will try to force the Song Dynasty to concede ten, hundred, and thousand steps...... The Koreans are a good example of this. In that case, there would be no point in using troops this year.
A lot has been said, including education, water conservancy, agriculture, people's livelihood, roads, commerce, mining, mainly ethnic affairs and military, and even how to deal with desert policies.
In fact, it is a ruler of Song Jiu for the Song Dynasty to govern the Northeast after the Song Dynasty, although the Liao State was destroyed, but it is still the same sentence, the north is stable, the world is stable, the north is chaotic, the world is chaotic.
The last thing is immigration.
The slogan of the imperial court is Qi.
However, it is not so easy, because the north is still a tribal system, it depends on it, if the vendetta continues, the living environment is bad, the tribal system is relatively solid, such as the desert tribes, such as the barbarian tribes in the southern mountains, but the tribal system has brought many difficulties to the governance of the country. It is a nice way to say that the tribal system is a good one, but in fact it is a land country.
With the development of the Northeast, the prestige of the chiefs in the tribe will gradually decline, which is a good thing, and the imperial court must push the boat to further form this trend. But don't rush it.
Immigrants, in particular, were very important to the governance of Liaodong, but because of the tribal system, conflicts arose. Therefore, the previous migrants had to be resettled on the edge of each city to protect the safety of the city, which was the link of economic and commercial development in Northeast China, as well as the center of governance and urban defense, and then settled in barren areas. In order to reduce unnecessary conflicts between migrants and ethnic groups. When one day, immigrant Han households become the mainstream. The prestige of the patriarchs of the various ethnic groups was further reduced, so that the northeast could become the real territory of the Song Dynasty.
Song Jiu did not say the time. Although there was another bumper harvest in the Northeast this year, and there were great victories, there was also a bumper harvest in the country, so the number of immigrants was still only two or three thousand, which was pitiful.
After the explanation, Song Jiucai said that the thing that everyone is most concerned about, the minister is old, and he implores His Majesty to send the minister.
"When things are done, go to the clothes, and hide the merit and fame." Wang Dan sighed slightly.
Several ministers raised their heads. looked at Wang Dan with shameless eyes, behind this sentence is that Wang Dan also agreed with Song Jiuzhishi. But Song Jiu is not a teacher, can it be done? Wang Qinruo said: "Your Majesty, with the merits of the Duke of Song, you can be crowned the king of the county." ”
He did a lot of small things behind his back.
However, Song Jiu went down, there was no need to do it again. This sentence is from the heart.
Song Jiu's credit is too great, like a big mountain, which overwhelms everyone, including Zhao Heng, who is faintly suppressed by Song Jiu's credit. He retreated. Many people breathed a sigh of relief.
Then why bother to make a feud with Song Jiu?
……
"Don't be afraid to spend money, if this thing is successful, the significance is not trivial, you can write to me if you lack money. I will support your money. Song Jiu said.
Dozens of people stood by and listened quietly.
It's medicine.
The ginseng antler produced in Changbai Mountain is ginseng, but the ginseng pickers are too bitter.
Therefore, Song Jiu took out some money and silk since the year before last and set up several test points in the northeast. Try to artificially grow sesame grass, ginseng and other medicinal herbs. Even domesticated sika deer.
The view of Chinese medicine Song Jiu is very fair, and it cannot be mythologized. It still has many defects, but it cannot be blindly ignored, and some diseases are still very effective with traditional Chinese medicine. Before the development of Western medical techniques, traditional Chinese medicine was still the mainstream of national medical methods.
However, at this time, almost all Chinese medicine was collected from the mountains, and there were no medicinal herbs to grow, so medicinal herbs were very expensive. When the medicinal materials are expensive, the people will not be able to see a doctor, so all kinds of gods and ghosts are effective, and they can't afford to see the disease, so they have to ask the gods to help.
Song Jiu organized some people, gave them money and silk, and even hired dozens of students from the academy to guide the people to plant and domesticate, once successful, not only to create another way to get rich, but also to make more people afford to get sick.
It's a long time, too.
After the end of the Goryeo War, Song Jiu visited various parts of the Northeast for the first time. But this time he was not in a hurry, and he took Yuping and Pan Li'er and them to go and see, and he was traveling all the way, but this may also be the last time he traveled in the Northeast.
Today at the foot of Changbai Mountain, there is a medicine garden here, Song Jiu said this after seeing it.
After reading it, Song Jiu went to the depths of Changbai again, visited the people of all ethnic groups, and gradually arrived at Baichi.
"What a beautiful lake." Dashuang shouted.
It's like a gem.
Song Jiu also felt relieved in his heart, at least this pearl of Changbai Mountain was completely the territory of the Song Dynasty...... That's also my own credit.
However, the stay was not long, the autumn was getting deeper, and it was estimated that the imperial decree was about to arrive in Youzhou, so Song Jiu returned to Youzhou.
As he expected, it was Zhang Qixian who took over. He also brought an edict to officially divide Youzhou Road into two roads, one for Youzhou Road and the other for Changchun Road, but the capital of the latter was in Shenzhou. There are also two roads, but in order to facilitate governance, Zhang Qixian still has two military, political and financial powers. It's just that Song Jiu didn't expect that the imperial court actually transferred Kou Zhun to the Yunzhou area.
Song Jiu heard it and was happy.
I don't know if Lu Dao Kou Zhun is happy or depressed in Yunzhou.
However, with Kou Zhun here, Yunzhong Road will continue to develop in the past few years.
Ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, a thousand years of country, the country can not be distinguished by the difficulty of that period, as long as it is relaxed, the national crisis will be immediately. However, because the two roads are the territory of Liao, the most difficult thing must be a few years ago.
If Kou Zhun and Zhang Qixian stay for another three or four years, then the north will lay a good foundation.
At this point, Song Jiu no longer had any concerns.
"Song Gong, I didn't expect you to retire like this." Zhang Qixian sighed. Speaking of which, Song Jiu is three years younger than Zhang Qixian.
"Satisfied, at least under my leadership, three countries have been destroyed."
Zhang Qixian is happy.
He thought that Song Jiu was talking about Goryeo, Jiaozhi and Liao. Jiaozhi is a little reluctant, Goryeo is indeed destroyed, and now Silla and Goryeo are two masters. The Liao State is even more destroyed.
In fact, Song Jiu said that there were three countries, excluding Goryeo and Jiaozhi, one was Western Xia, and the other was probably Jin. Goryeo and Jiaozhi are not extinguished, but they are destroyed, can they be regarded as real countries in Song Jiu's eyes?
At this point, the Song Dynasty can barely be called the real Great Song Dynasty, or the Great Song Empire, the territory from less than three million square kilometers in history to nearly five million square kilometers today, if you include the fetters area, then it also exceeds 10 million square kilometers, and there are many problems, such as the Hexi Corridor, such as Dali, such as Jiaozhi, especially if Jiaozhi is not extinguished, Vietnam may be formed later.
But there is something perfect in the world.
"Song Gong retreated, what are your plans for the future?"
"When I was young in Hezhong, my life was very hard, and I couldn't even marry the little lady I liked, so I longed for wealth. But wealth has reached this point, it is already the peak, and people must learn to be content. ”
Zhang Qixian was a little embarrassed, if he was content, there would be no widow door.
"In fact, if I don't retreat, I don't have the ambition, and if I don't have the initiative, I won't be able to do anything in the officialdom. So I plan to retire and take my family around to relax. Although I have been to many places over the years, I have been in an official position, I am under great pressure, and I have a very hard time, not materially, but spiritually. It's time to rest, too. Or in a few years, I will go to the academy to make a guest appearance as a gentleman, and no one will gossip. ”
This has a premise, most of the high-ranking officials who retired from the Song Dynasty were placed in Luoyang, for fear that they would have influence on the court. Therefore, Song Jiu said that he traveled everywhere, and after a few years, his influence declined, and he did not go to Luoyang and continued to stay in Kaifeng, then there would be no trouble.
Zhang Qixian said regretfully: "The imperial court plans to plan to open the Sanbai Canal." ”
"I won't ask if I open the Sanbai Canal, I'm also old, and I'll die one day, so I have to let go thoroughly."
However, Zhang Qixian doubted in his heart that once Song Jiu gave up his rights, the imperial court would not be afraid, but Song Jiu's knowledge and experience, didn't the imperial court rely on it?
This has another premise, Zhao Heng's suspicion is not as important as Zhao Kuang's righteousness, so he often uses people to death, not only civilian officials, but also military generals, which leads to the fact that there are almost no staff officers in the staff department of Xifu, because all the heavy generals are in office.
Besides, Song Jiu.
"So I've gone far this trip, after you and I hand over, I will go to Guangnan with the sea ship for the winter, spring is coming, and then to Hangzhou, summer is coming, maybe I will take my family back to Youzhou to be with you." Where can I find me? ”
"That's fine."
"Why can't you?"
A few days later, Song Jiuzhen took his family on the boat.
Zhang Qixian took officials to the port to see him off.
Saying goodbye to everyone one by one, the ship's owner ordered the sailors to set sail, and the huge ship quickly left the harbor in the northwest wind, becoming a small black spot in the sky.
At that time, the autumn breeze is cool, and the sky is high and the clouds are light......
