Chapter 448: There is wind in the south
Wang Yuyan has a big mouth and is qualified, with good literary talents, thoughts, and talents. Talented and virtuous, a rare official.
However, can you get on the top if you have both talent and virtue?
Wrong, if an official wants to be in a position, the most important thing is not to have both talent and morality, but to skill, which is the so-called power strategy.
If the scheming is insufficient, it can only be harnessed by others. So Wang Caizi was immediately used by Wang Wei, I don't know what Lu Dao said, Wang Xun believed it was true, and it was not bad to think about it, so he wrote: "Please from now on, the prime minister and the privy envoy must be asked to see in the capital hall, and must not delay the guests in the last hall to prevent request." ”
Zhao Kuangyi didn't think about it at first, it's not bad to think about it, anyway, since the founding of the Song Dynasty, this rule has gradually taken shape, it is better to institutionalize it, so he agreed.
But isn't that the case?
Just as Song Jiu once proposed to encourage large families to do more good deeds, this must be clearly regulated, is to encourage, not to force, in fact, the Northern Song Dynasty in this regard is still relatively good, as in any era, there is a good side, there is also a bad side, can not be generalized.
But the rest is not good, the commercial tax is levied equally, the illegal annexation of the powerful is prohibited, and the usury is opposed. It's not good, you can also issue an edict to deter, or even mobilize to help everyone.
However, if you really go to the execution, the country will wait for chaos, and Song Jiu will wait for death.
This circle of interests is too big, so big that Zhao Kuangyi, Zhao Pu and Song Jiu may not be able to afford it when they join forces.
There is also an analogy, Zhao Gou began to withdraw the four major festivals to make his military power, Yue Fei was in a hurry, and wrote to say that the emperor, no. We are working hard for you, so let's not talk about these private soldiers we trained, let's talk about our families, and our families stayed in Hangzhou together as hostages, so you don't feel at ease.
Yue Fei said the actual words, but it couldn't say it. Just as a person does not die without clothes in the summer, but it will be cool, but it must be worn.
There is such a thing, but this fig leaf cannot be pierced.
Now the same reason, there is this invisible rule. However, it cannot be expressly prescribed.
It's best to solve things in the open. However, there are some special circumstances, or time urgency, which must be called to the home immediately to discuss. Or some family members and relatives are officials at the same time, is it because they are all officials? And then old and dead and never see each other?
Besides, I would like to ask for it. Can't you ask for help when you get to the two prefectures?
Zhao Kuangyi issued an edict. Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't know how to explain it.
Wang Wei was overjoyed, this time it was easy to do. Let's go to Dongfu first, and leave everything in Dongfu to see what you do.
However, someone had a way, and Xie Mi wrote to it, so he suspected that the ministers were not behaving properly. It's like His Majesty has the assistance of auxiliary ministers, is it not to meet with the officials, you have to see them, otherwise how can you know about foreign affairs! If they all let the ministers wait to see in the capital, then the officials will be invited, and when there is no time, the prime ministers of the two governments will not do anything, and I am afraid that they will not even have the time to undress. In the past, Kong Guang did not say anything about the wood in the greenhouse, Gu Yong sealed the marquis for three days, the family did not know, Xie Anshi surrounded the guest, and the guest did not realize it, the minister should be cautious like this, although the wife still can't hear it, and others care!
Zhao Kuangyi is not a stupid person, and Xie Mi can't say it directly, he said it very tactfully, but Zhao Kuangyi also understood, so he chased back the edict.
Song Jiu shook his head.
Let's fight.
However, it may not be a good thing to use these small means, Renjun is not Song Huizong, but Song Taizong, and if you don't get it, you will lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot.
Song Jiu's mind was not in this either.
As the locust plague went down, Zhao Kuangyi couldn't wait.
Hou Mochen used Zhao Pu to behead him, and the gold sores on Zhao Kuangyi's legs became more and more serious, Hou Mochen used not to be a doctor, but he was like a rune in the eyes of believers. With Hou Mochen using the comfort of those illusions, Zhao Kuangyi had psychological comfort, and his leg injury effectively prevented the deterioration. However, without Hou Mochen's use, there was no such hint, and the leg injury worsened.
So I looked at the three divisions, and then looked at the inner library, and I couldn't help but be overjoyed when I saw it.
When Xiao Yanyan went on the second southern expedition, the country's finances were still very difficult that year, but Yelu Huge was defeated by the Tang River, and the people of the Song Dynasty suffered little damage, and the casualties of the soldiers were not heavy, so the bereavement benefits were not much. I kind of got through it. So much so that Song Jiu did not dare to be exempt from taxes.
In the second year, Zhao Pu was used, and that year Song Jiu and Zhao Kuangyi said that they were ready to exempt the taxes in Henan, Hedong, Hebei, and Jingdong, but they were really exempted, and then the drought came, and it was not good to withdraw the edict of tax relief, so the economy was still very tight that year. But the problem was still not big, and the food problem at the top of the famine did not exist that year, so I survived the tight money. And then last year, this year there were two days of ice and fire, drought and waterlogging, but only in local areas.
You must know that Song Jiu was not a joke in these years, but only various workshops, or auctioned off all kinds of poorly managed workshops to private contractors, and sorted out some inefficient and wasteful links, saving the cost of raising troops, which increased the income of the Song Dynasty by at least 20 or 30 million. Of course, part of it is a light tax that benefits the people, but compared with history, there must be a surge in income.
Last year, some money was spent on grain purchases, but in fact there was a surplus in the state finances. There was a locust plague this year, but it ended in time.
This made Zhao Kuangyi's heart move.
Actually, this money is really important.
In another time and space, it is precisely because of this money that the two countries of Song and Liao are unable to fight, of course, the main reason is that Li Jilong fought peace, the possibility of failure in the south increases, and if it increases, it will not be able to loot property.
But the Song Dynasty was even more sad.
Because of this finance and Zhao Pu's razing and razing, he did not do anything to Li Jiqian, but when Li Jiqian rebelled again, Wang Shun and Li Xiaobo inadvertently echoed with the Western Xia Liao State. The border is important, but Bashu is even more important. So I had to solve Bashu. When Bashu is solved, the country's finances will be a mess, and it will be even more powerless to deal with Li Jiqian. By the time he had the strength to deal with Li Jixing, Li Jiqian would have already grown strong, and then with the secret help of the Liao State, the Song Dynasty sighed.
Then tragedy happened, otherwise, as Song Jiu said, I would have consumed the Liao State to death.
Now this money will make the Liao country sad.
The Liao State has recovered slightly in the past two years. He stared at the black land in Liaodong.
It may be a little difficult to fight, but after fighting, where has been well governed over the years, there are grain, horses, livestock and cities, almost on par with southern Liaoning.
But just when they wanted to make a move, the Song Dynasty's plan was launched.
Wind from the South......
……
Zhao Kuangyi personally sat in the West Mansion, and there were several veterans of the General Staff Division, several Zaizhi of the West Mansion, and several main officials of the Third Division and the Inner Treasury. As for the officials, after making tea for these people. Fuck off.
Zhao Kuangyi said, "Everyone. This is the surplus of the treasury and the treasury. ”
No matter how smart a person is, he will be somewhat influenced by others, such as Zhang Qixian who was influenced by Song Jiu, although the country is difficult to change and his nature is difficult to change. Still a small mouth. But do things more carefully. He is a high-roller, a fierce brother who can convince robbers when he is poor, how difficult it is to make him careful.
Zhao Kuangyi was influenced by a group of scholars and Zhao Pu in history. But here, influenced by Song Jiu. Therefore, the pioneering spirit is not extinguished until now. In fact, Song Jiu also remembered wrongly, not because Zhao Kuangyi in history was not enterprising, but that the environment was too hard, and he really ignored the fundamentals of the country and the people, and blindly dethroned the army?
With money, Zhao Kuangyi wanted to give it a try, he didn't want to wait any longer!
Therefore, finding Song Jiu, Song Jiu thought about it for a long time, once it was launched, it would not be easy to contain it, but he didn't want to continue to sit and wait, so he finally agreed.
Everyone was looking at it, and Kou Zhun suddenly sneered: "Your Majesty, you have built a lot of temples with this treasury money." ”
Song Jiu can now see that Kou Zhun has a lot of responsibilities and a heavy sense of power. I haven't seen the two biggest shortcomings of Kou Zhun yet. There are two major principles in Kou Zhun's life, one day the emperor of the earth is great, but not as big as my old Kou, I am the biggest, and I am the truth of the world.
What the second old Kou said must be right, and if he disagrees with the old man, it must be wrong.
Song Jiu doesn't know what to do, Kou Zhun, the name, you must be careful to train.
In fact, in order to get everyone to agree and cooperate, Zhao Kuangyi took out the account books of the inner treasury, which was not easy. This account book can be shown to the ministers for the first time in the history of Zhao Kuangyin's establishment of the inner treasury.
The two kings should do well, and the cost is not large.
A lot of money is mostly used for disaster relief, people's livelihood, rewarding ministers, or supporting the military.
There are very few that are really used for the harem, and even the proportion of the cost of building some temples on it is not too serious.
But immediately let Xiao Kou bite it.
Song Jiu said: "Ping Zhong, today's matter is very important, don't mess around." ”
Kou Zhun pouted, this is Song Jiu, if you change someone else, Xiao Kou would have jumped to his feet a long time ago, what, I'm messing around, is it nonsense to let the king not spend money indiscriminately? Isn't this the people's fat and the people's anointing?
The two sets of account books are a bit chaotic, the so-called surplus is not money, there is money, there is grain, there is rice, wheat, beans, corn, grain, cloth, cloth, cotton, silk, arrowroot, linen, and even cotton, all kinds of gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, tin, tribute, medicinal materials, spices, rattan, jewelry, treasures...... If you calculate their value, I am afraid that it will take dozens of days to send dozens of officials to roughly count them.
However, there are those who have a good mind, and they have begun to evaluate in their hearts.
It may not be worth less than 50 million yuan, but some of it is not easy to value, and less than 60% of it can really be misappropriated.
This is all the surplus wealth of the two coffers of the state.
Not much.
However, Zhao Kuangyi doesn't attach much importance to money.
With this money, you can start a war.
Unless there is a super fiasco like Qigou Pass, and then there is a disaster in the country, it will be the death of the Great Song Dynasty, not the fault of man.
The proportion of people who believe that these two possibilities occur at the same time is very low.
At least we have to support everyone, this is Zhao Kuangyi's intention to show the account books of the inner library.
Zhao Kuangyi asked the third division and the officials of the inner treasury to step down, and said to Song Jiu with his mouth.
Song Jiu said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty invited you to come today, some people may know the Dao, and some people don't know the Dao, but no matter which one of you is, what you see today, and those who are about to discuss must not be revealed to anyone, even if it is your wife and children, otherwise the country's centennial plan will be delayed, and your career will be completely over." Even if it is the meritorious veterans of the General Staff Division, not only you, but even your children will be implicated in the future. Even if it is not punished, because it has to be kept secret, this plan was planned from the time when General Cui Yanjin initiated it, and only the veterans of the General Staff Department participated in the Xifu Zaizhi, which has nothing to do with the East Mansion, has nothing to do with the three divisions, has nothing to do with the two systems, has nothing to do with the five temples and three prisons, and has nothing to do with the Taiwan Cabinet. ”
There are not many newcomers, Zhang Yongde, Xiaokou Xiaowen, and Zhang Xun, who was promoted to deputy slaughter.
The four looked at each other.
Song Jiu took out a thick stack of documents from the back, and the outside was thick linen paper, which was covered with fire paint, and the fire paint seal was covered with rows of official seals of the Privy Council and Zhao Kuangyi's imperial seal.
This posture is enough to frighten anyone.
In fact, it is not trivial, and it can also be said to be the most complete crusade plan in this era, and even in history. Since the imprint of civilization appeared in China, there has never been such a detailed draft of the attack, which is more than a foot thick, and more than 500 drafts and maps.
Song Jiu carefully placed it on the table, unopened, and the newcomers didn't know what was inside the road, but they could see three big words on it: South Wind! (To be continued......)
