Chapter 349: Everyone Compares to the Pit (I)
Wang Ju crossed the river in that piece, and Zhao Ji said it all.
In fact, in history, this system is also quarrelling, anyway, the implementation of one will be noisy.
But really, this system is the least controversial and has the least drawbacks.
So Wang Ju asked Zhao Ji to throw it out first.
Let's talk about it.
But there are still many strategies for reducing troops and strengthening troops, and eliminating officials.
However, the officials couldn't move for the time being, and this move had to be noisy, so Wang Ju persuaded Zhao Ji in the recital to let Zhao Ji carry out this part first.
Not only to alleviate financial difficulties, but also to consolidate the trust of the imperial authority. Why let Wen Yanbo lead the army reduction, Wen Yanbo immediately agreed, this is a secret, the truth is actually the same. It's not entirely a credit, the West Mansion was in the hands of Han Qi, and many rights were deprived of it by the East Mansion. As long as Wen Yanbo leads the reduction of troops, these rights will be taken back one after another. In addition, he was not averse to the reduction of troops, so Wang Ju expected Wenyan to cooperate.
Maybe Zhao Ji didn't believe it after seeing it at that time, but after the overthrow of Han, he realized the bitterness of this imperial authority's letter.
Everyone began to discuss.
Before the Seedlings Law came out, they were facing huge financial pressure, and they were indeed good policies, and everyone was still very much in favor of them. As a result, specific provisions were quickly decided and turned into edicts.
Including Sima Guang, he also interjected a few words. This is almost the most concerted action of the Song Dynasty, the two government governors, the three divisions of several bigwigs, the two bigwigs of the Zhiyuan and the Yushitai, and the officials of the two systems.
Wang Ju breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as it could be executed, the Song Dynasty would become better. As a private person, this execution will undoubtedly bring him a beautiful and dazzling aura.
From morning to afternoon. More than a dozen edicts came out in a row, and everyone dispersed.
Walking out, Wang Jue said, "Little Wang Ju." Well done. β
He also regretted in his heart, he was a little sloppy in catching his son-in-law at the beginning. I didn't expect this little guy to grow up so fast, and the future is limitless. This thought, the regret in my heart.
"Prince, don't dare to be."
"Do it well, justice is in the hearts of the people," Wang Qi said vaguely.
In fact, this sentence has a lot of meaning, which means that the old man is optimistic about you, and there will be something in the future. The old man may also cover you, this is the same as Cai Ting, everyone is looking for help.
Wang Ju understood, bowed down and said, "The lower official thanked the prince." β
"At a young age, delicate thoughts," Wang Qi laughed and walked forward with a smile.
Wang Ju returned to the inn.
Huang Liang asked, "Zi'an, is it safe?" β
"It's okay," Wang Ju said. This is okay, thanks to Zhao Niannu. It was up to her to take the line of Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji sheltered her. If not, he will be covered in the valley. Sima Guang had a sudden seizure, and he was so sad.
Therefore, Wang Ju said again: "I can only say that the first level has passed, and there may be trouble in the future." β
What if because of their own push, the Wei Mingshan brothers did not surrender? What if Han Qi doesn't go to Shaanxi? So even if Wang Anshi came to the capital, Sima Guang could still spare energy to concentrate on dealing with himself.
Really relying on his current small arms and legs, he can resist Sima Guangyi*'s attack.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Zhao Ji was excited.
The emperor deserves to be forced hard for most of the year.
Bumped and bumped, today finally tasted the taste of imperial power for the first time.
Zhao Ji was walking around excitedly, and a yellow door walked in and said, "Official." The Queen Mother invited the official family to sit in the back. β
"Okay."
Zhao Ji came to the harem and sang: "Erchen has seen the queen mother." β
"Emperor. The mourning family asked you, did Sima Qing embarrass Wang Ju today? β
"The Queen Mother. I was embarrassed, but it didn't work out. β
"Tell me about it."
Zhao Ji explained the general situation. Gao Tao said: "That's good, Wang Ju is a talent, and Sima Guang is also a good minister." The reason for the conflict was that Wang Ju was young and a little unruly, and Sima Guang was an old minister, so he was a little unaccustomed to it. You are an official of the Great Song Dynasty, and when you learn to listen to both, you will be clear, and if you listen partially, you will be dark. β
"Erchen knows, and Erchen doesn't protect anyone, I just hope that they don't attack each other and hurt the harmony."
"That's right, and the matter of light mud has nothing to do with Sima Guang, he is old and serious, and he will never do such a thing as collaborating with the enemy."
"That's what Erchen thinks too."
However, at this time, Gao Taotao and Zhao Ji both ignored one thing, in the fifth year of Taihe in the Tang Dynasty, the defender of Tubo and Victoria plotted to surrender, and Li Deyu sent troops into the city. When the news reached the DPRK, Niu Shengyu said that Li Deyu's recovery of a Victorian state was nothing, and the relationship with the Tubo people deteriorated, so it was not worth it. Therefore, Niu Monk and his children asked Tang Wenzong to issue an edict to let Li Deyu return Victoria to Tubo, and sent someone to tie up and return the plotter and his servants, and handed them over to the Tubo officials, so that the Tubo people could be killed in Victoria City.
Could it be that the cow monks and children are collaborating with the enemy?
If you don't think about it, plus Sima Guang is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, then you will be confused. So Wang Ju was fortunate in the post house, and fortunately he caught Zhao Ji's line in advance, otherwise he would have been miserable.
Of course, Gao Tao has Gao Tao's thoughts.
Both of them are talents, and it's best not to have a fight.
Gao Tao said again: "Conscription law? β
"I'm afraid there was some controversy, so Erchen didn't ask at the time."
"You summoned him to the palace to ask, you can make a reference, this messenger mourner has also heard about it, and it has indeed suffered the people."
"The queen mother, the implementation of the 28-point system and the Fangchang River crossing system will slow down the errand service."
"There's a limit to what you can do."
"Erchen summoned him to the palace to inquire."
Wang Ju was just about to rest, and was called to the palace again.
"Wang Ju, you don't seem to be able to finish talking about that recruitment law."
"Your Majesty, this is really troublesome," Wang Ju regretted a little.
Among Wang Anshi's many reforms, there are also many less controversial, this category can be divided into several categories according to the effect, one is less controversial, the effect is not great, but it is a real move to work the people, such as the horse protection law. A kind of controversy is less controversial, more effective, and it is also a move to benefit the people, such as the 28-point system, the art of war, and the Fangchang river crossing system. Warehouse method.
There is also a very controversial one, such as the Trade Law, that is, the Law of Change. Equal loss method, green seedling method. And this exemption law.
So Wang Ju regretted that he had leaked his mouth.
"Let's talk about it, I should be a reference."
When the time comes, you won't refer to it, Wang Juxin said. He thought for a while and said, "If so, please listen to the two queen queens behind the curtain." β
"Huh."
"Speaking of it, it is necessary to talk about the two families of Gao Cao, so the minister asked the two queen mothers to listen."
Zhao Zhen's face immediately changed, but there were too many ills of the errand soldier, he thought for a while and said, "You eat tea first." There are still a few fruits on the table, just a little rougher, but it doesn't matter, you're not a minister of luxury. β
Zhao Niannu told him that Zhao Ji really listened, and sometimes stayed up late to review some chapters, so he asked the eunuch to bring fruits, or soup, to nourish it. But I was told again and again to keep me from starving. Can't be extravagant. Maybe this is really good news for Wang Ju. As long as Zhao Ji survives for two more years, Sima Guang will survive. One qiΔ is ok.
After a while, Zhao Ji turned out from behind and said, "Wang Ju, come with me." β
He took Wang Ju to the harem.
On the way, some palace maids stared at Wang Ju, and some bold ones were whispering.
"He's that Wang Ju."
"That's him."
"It's so young, it's black, not like the rumored beautiful general."
"You don't understand, this is for the sake of the drain workers."
Zhao Ji couldn't help but scolded: "Stand down." β
A few little palace maids stuck out their tongues and retreated.
The main king is young and young, if the old man comes. They're not interested in watching it. Wang Ju couldn't help laughing, but Zhao Ji was very relieved of Wang Ju. At least on this is more reassuring. Look at that Joan lady, upside down. Wang Ju doesn't want it, this is also a kind of moral exercise.
A few broken footsteps came behind the curtain.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether the curtain is hung or not, the age difference is too big, so there is no need to shy away.
Wang Ju rushed to the curtain and said: "Weichen has seen the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. β
"Let's be flat."
"Sit down."
Two voices, one is undoubtedly the Empress Dowager Cao, and the other is Gao Tao.
Gao Tao said: "Wang Ju, you let me and the Empress Dowager listen to your discussion, and now that the mourning family and the Empress Dowager are here, you can talk about your recruitment law." β
"In accordance with the decree of the two queen mothers, then Weichen said, saying this recruitment law, Weichen dared to say one thing first, annexation."
"Mergers?"
"It's the annexation, the tyranny of Sui and Qin, there is no need to talk about the two great unified dynasties, and Weichen only says Han and Tang. The replacement of the Western Han Dynasty due to the dictatorship of foreign relatives had little to do with tyranny. Then to the Eastern Han Dynasty, the external environment of the Eastern Han Dynasty was much better than that of our dynasty, only some Xirong was in turmoil, and the danger was not great. But why decay, the dictatorship of foreign relatives, and the eunuchs in power. However, did these two things bring about the destruction of the Eastern Han Dynasty? No, it is the annexation that really perishes. Without annexation, there would be no thieves. β
"Kind of makes sense."
"Then to the Tang Dynasty, the defeat of the Tang Dynasty, the dispute between the friends, the dictatorship of the eunuchs, and the division of the feudal towns. However, even so, the Tang Dynasty could continue to survive, and it was the Yellow Nest that really made the Tang Dynasty perish. Why did the Yellow Nest make trouble? Annex. β
"Mergers?" Gao Tao was at a loss.
"Our dynasty system does not prohibit annexation, the ancestors are wise, why not prohibit it, this is also a technique that is better than sparse. First of all, the ancestors' Qi people technique gave the poor people rights and vitality, no slaves, no tribes, and even did not prohibit the movement of the people, so as to reduce the oppression of the main household on the customers and tenant farmers, and reduce the intensification of conflicts. β
"It's better to be blocked, it's reasonable, keep talking."
"Wechen has one more thing, why is it easy to come out of the prosperous era when the founding of the country, but the Zhongxing Dynasty is rare, even if it is prosperous in the Kaiyuan Dynasty, it is only a flash in the pan, and then it ushered in the Tianbao Rebellion."
"Why?"
"Because at the beginning of the founding of the country, the people went from chaos to order, and it was easy to be satisfied. At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, if the territory was large, the number of households was only two million, and our dynasty also went through the rule of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and it was only three million households. A large amount of land is barren, there is no land pressure, and with a little hard work, it is easy for the family to have food and clothing. Therefore, it is easy to have a big cure. But with the establishment of the country for a long time, the population has surged, and the land has become scarce, and it has begun to be valuable. β
This is a headache, the two women were pondering, and the Empress Dowager Cao asked, "What does annexation have to do with the errand servants?" β
"Yes, because of the merger, the guidance is divided into poverty, and the class is generated, and Wei Chen doesn't know what Han Gong and Sima Gong said, but did they say one thing? That's the top powerhouse? β
"Is there a difference?"
"Yes, there are several kinds of errands, Xu Officer, Yaqian, and Labor. Among them, the officials are the most relaxed. However, there are several kinds of officials, one is hard work, and the other is easy work. For example, the few officials killed by the ministers are hard work. The real heroes will also be bad, but most of them are relatively relaxed officials. The real bankrupt families are only second- and third-class households, and there are also fourth- and fifth-class households. In fact, because there are too many errands, some officials do not act, and they tacitly pull the seven or eighth and other extremely poor households into the errand service, which is the real cruelty. β
"I understand, do you mean that those who should be poor, or those who should be drudgery, are mostly rich people who have no power and no wealth?"
"Your Majesty, that's what Wei Chen said. But a new problem has arisen, those top tycoons, including official households, super-rich households, and even relatives, these people will not pay business taxes even if they are in business, let alone pay bad money. If they don't pay taxes, they shouldn't be bad, so the rich get richer. However, it is those people who really pay taxes in the country, from commercial taxes to two taxes, and they are actually these second, third and fourth class households! β
In layman's terms, it's the middle class that really gets around.
The middle class disappeared, and the national crisis really came. How much can the poor people exploit? As soon as the exploitation is too heavy, a large-scale rebellion will begin.
"Why didn't Erqing say it?"
"Your Majesty, let's analyze it again. Now there are two ideas, one is that it is necessary to maintain the dignity of the magnates, who are the elite of the country, and therefore in the minds of many ministers, their interests are inviolable. Another is to inherit the ancestors' Qi people's skills and give more people a chance to live. Therefore, Sima Guang hated Weichen, and it was this kind of ideological conflict. Wang Ju simply made this relationship clear.
Let Gao Tao listen to it in particular, it will be of great help.
"Wang Ju, your words are earth-shattering." Gao gushed.
"Queen Mother, Weichen was born in a humble background, if he used to be an official, Weichen would be miserable. Even in the Tang Dynasty, it would still look at the portal to employ people, and Weichen was miserable. Weichen can be successful in the imperial examination and can be an official, thanks to the skills of our dynasty and several ancestors of our dynasty. And when Weichen was young, he was given a book by Emperor Renzong, at that time Weichen was really poor, and Yanzhou's education was backward, if there was no book from Emperor Renzong, where could Weichen learn knowledge and learning, and how to let the teacher look at it and accept him as a protΓ©gΓ©? Then in the imperial examination, thanks to the kindness of the first emperor, he almost forcibly promoted Weichen to Tanhua. and then to the official family, let alone the official family. The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the Battle of Dashun City, Wechen only helped Hu Qian slightly, and Hu Qian immediately reported to Wechen, saying that I am willing to go. Now Weichen just wants to say that for the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty, although there are tens of millions of people, the minister is willing to go. β
"Good boy, good boy," Empress Dowager Cao said.
"The Empress Dowager, the Queen Mother, take a look at Wang Ju's hands."
"This is what Weichen should do," Wang Ju said shyly, but he still stretched out his hand, what did he do moving limestone for several days, wasn't it just for this moment?
Gao Taotao and Empress Dowager Cao watched through the curtain, and Gao Taotao sighed: "You kid is also stupid, why bother, what if." (To be continued) R655
