Zhao Pu recommended Wang Huaji, Zhao Kuangyi had a slight impression of Wang Huaji, but it was not good to be in the imperial history, it was the head of the official, so he summoned Wang Huaji and asked about the side affairs, Wang Huaji said: "Governing the world is like planting trees, the root is not solid, and the branches are not enough to worry. ”

Zhao Kuangyi thought so.

In fact, Song Jiu and Zhao Pu have similar opinions on this point, they must focus on internal governance and fundamentals, but the difference is that Song Jiu is fundamentally good, and he must allocate a part of his strength to solve the border problem.

If Song Jiu did not appear, Zhao Pu did an important thing in this year, that is, he put Li Jiqian back to Xiazhou, and as a result, Li Jiqian sent an envoy to surrender, and the ministers congratulated him. Then, the two colluded in the northwest, Li Jixing got a lot of precious time to breathe and develop, and a few years later, Li Jiqian really reached the end of the day.

Then the Song Dynasty was forced bitterly.

This is Zhao Kuangyi's review of Wang Huaji.

Don't think that in the imperial history, you can spray with a big mouth, the more you speak, the more you have to pay attention to what you say.

Regarding the relationship between Wang Huaji and Song Jiu, some people will guess that those who actually know the truth of the Tao do not talk about it. Since Song Jiu entered the Chinese book, he deliberately diluted the connection with the academy, Wang Huaji is an old man, fair, and will not deliberately slap Song Jiu.

However, it must have been somewhat helpful to Song Jiu.

This is the kindness released by Zhao Pu.

In fact, by this time, more people understood that Zhao Pu was dying. After he goes down, Song Jiu will be in full swing and will not stop. Aren't you afraid that Song Jiu will take revenge on his descendants?

A lot of people out there are talking about it.

For the first time, the General Staff Division was started.

Now there are not many people, Cao Bin, Mi Xin, Tian Chongjin, Liu Yanhan.

What was discussed was the border defense of Hebei and Hedong, and the focus was still on Hebei, especially the three of Mitian and Liu. I have been in Hebei for a long time and am familiar with the terrain of Hebei.

This year, construction has been gradually started, that is, the pond is being dug. As for planting thorns, willows and reeds, it will come next year, and Song Jiu said that he should build some strong forts on the border, and this year it will not work. That must wait until the disaster has passed. The country's financial situation can only start when it slows down.

How to dig this Great Wall of Water, how to build this Great Green Wall, and where to choose where to build a big fort should also be considered, one is the experience and wisdom of these veterans, and the other is the feedback of the front-line soldiers, and the two are combined. After the most reluctance, he decided in Xifu and handed it over to Zhao Kuangyi to shoot the case. Then an edict was issued and executed at the front.

But Song Jiu also underestimated the future disaster......

The long-tailed comet is gone, and the drought continues.

Such a long and large drought is extremely rare in the history of the Song Dynasty in the nearly 30 years since its founding.

Some people are even thinking that if it weren't for the fact that the country had a large amount of grain reserves in the past few years, Song Jiu had unintentionally dispersed the grain reserves and summer tax grain to the state capitals in advance in order to raise grain prices...... Everyone couldn't help but shudder.

Zhao Kuangyi reduced his diet with a year of drought, and then prayed to Haotian God, or went to worship Sanqing, or worshiped Rulai Guanyin, anyway, the method was thought through, and the sun continued to be bright and moving, and not a single tear fell.

He had no choice but to summon the prime ministers, first looked at Song Jiu, and said gratefully: "Song Qing, Jiuye." ”

The grain that used to be is still the grain.

However, one in the spring and the other at this time are completely different.

At that time, food was not valuable, and it didn't make much sense to be greedy or not, and at this time, it was good to be able to transport half of it to the treasury of the state capitals.

In fact, if there was no Song Jiu's tuntian system, there would have been an incident at this time in history, when the state tax grain was desperately transported to the capital. However, the front-line military rations are very scarce, one way, the imperial court will transfer the tax grain to the front, but it is different from the transfer to the capital, it is transported by ship from various canals and rivers, and even the people are conscription, and the soldiers are the head of the slender men, and the ships may be official ships, so the cost on the books is relatively low.

But when it was transported to the front, it was different, and gradually the river narrowed, and it was necessary to change the boats, the cars, even if it was conscription, these soldiers and civilians had to eat on the road, and they had to drink on the run. So the consumption is very terrible, and the terrible thing is not the consumption, because this consumption is not very good to count, giving the officials a chance, and the greed is serious, and it is not good to check it.

Or there is another thing, after the rise of Western Xia, the Song Dynasty had a poor source of horses, so they had to buy horses in a big way, but because the officials were sloppy, many horses died before they could be transported to the various pastoral supervisors. The cost of a horse from the time it is bought to the time it is shipped back is very high, sometimes even close to 100 yuan.

Faced with this situation, the Song Dynasty was forced to contract to merchants.

Now it can also be seen that the imperial court used the resources of the government to build many square river crossings, unless it is a "joint venture" like Hezhou, otherwise the income is good at the beginning, but it will gradually not work in the future. In history, I had to wait for Wang Anshi to come out and solve it. But now Song Jiu has successively contracted these farms and river crossings out of the river. However, when it comes to private hands, it is immediately revitalized.

After Song Jiu was in charge of the three divisions the year before last, he once again auctioned on a large scale, and even some of the Fangchang River crossings simply became real auctions, which were not contracted and sold to private individuals, and the imperial court no longer intervened. After Song Jiu's wanton action, nearly half of the imperial court's Fangchang River Ferry became a private operation.

In the face of this result, people can't help but think speechless.

Even Zhao Kuangyi once roared like thunder, do I treat you thinly?

However, let Song Jiu pull him, and then persuade, the problem is not only the official greed for ink, but the main body of the actual greed for ink is still the small officials in the workshops, and the incorruptible scholars and small officials will collude with each other, and they will be greedy and greedy.

Secondly, there are some scholars who don't care about business, or don't know how to operate.

It's not entirely the scholars' greed for ink that causes the income of the shops to get lower and lower.

In fact, these principles are basically the same.

Therefore, in history, due to the difficulty of transporting grain on the front line, merchants were asked to transport grain to the border, and then according to the distance of the grain and the difficulty of the road, they gave it value, and sent the coupons to the Beijing Division, and then compensated for the money, or transferred the text to Jianghuai and gave tea and salt money. It's called a compromise. This led to the rapid collapse of the tea and salt administration. Not only that, but some black-hearted businessmen colluded with officials and began to mix sand and mildew into it. The treatment was originally poor. Eat this grain again, how can the soldiers of the border fortress have the confidence to fight the enemy. So later, there was a saying in the Song Dynasty that a good iron is not a nail, and a good man is not a soldier.

However, because of Song Jiu's tuntian system, there are a large number of tuntians in both Gyeonggi and Biansai. If it weren't for the severe drought this year, the military rations on the border would be barely equal, even this year. The food gap is not large. Therefore, there is no point in this compromise.

Zhao Kuangyi said that Song Jiu, Song Chaojiu is not an exaggeration.

Song Jiu bowed slightly and said, "The minister dares." ”

But he also called it lucky in his heart, fortunately he was not greedy for power. Enter the middle book. Otherwise, how can you deal with this situation?

He called luck in his heart, the Chinese book was bitter, but fortunately, Zhao Kuangyi understood and said: "All sides are guilty, the sin is bowing, since the change of Xingwen, there has been a lack of rain and snow for a long time." I am a parent of man, and my heart is not at peace. Sacrificing one's body and burning it in the flames is enough to thank God. ”

Several bigwigs in Dongfu were afraid.

Zhao Kuangyi actually wants to jump into the fire, he is the prime minister of Dongfu, so where do you want to jump?

The winter moon does not fall rain and snow, and the wax moon does not fall snow and rain, Tian Xi finally couldn't help it, and said directly, this is really yin and yang are not in harmony, the adjustment is inverted, the upper and lower duties are not exhausted, and the lower knows the mistakes of the upper and the regulations are not over.

Don't look for the reason, it's Zhao Pu's fault!

The effect of Zhao Pubu's bureau came out, and Zhang Qixian, Lu Mengzheng and others were somewhat grateful to Zhao Pu. Seeing the twists and turns, I was thinking, no matter what, Zhao Pu is already an old man in his last years, the country is eventful, tired and afraid, resulting in serious illness, although you are a big mouth, but you know the severity of your speech, so you know Chenzhou, let you go to the local reflection on it.

However, there are not too many big mouths in the court, although Zhao Pubu has some bureaus, but there are too many people in his life.

After the Spring Festival, Zhao Pu was in slightly better health, and repeatedly proposed to withdraw from the phase.

This time he was really scared.

Unlike last time, last time Zhao Kuangyi beat him many times in order to get him out of phase, Zhao Pu kept pretending to be deaf and dumb, but this time Zhao Kuangyi kept him again and again, and Zhao Pu resolutely refused.

Not only did he not follow, but he also took the initiative to ask to go to Luoyang.

The main reason is that I can't stand it at night, and I dream of Zhao Tingmei every night to detain my soul, can I still stay in the capital?

Zhao Kuangyi had no choice but to agree, and asked: "Who can be entrusted with state affairs?" ”

"Song Jiu, Lu Duan, Lu Mengzheng, Zhang Qixian, Kou Zhun and others are all pillars of the country in the future. It's just that Kou Zhun is young, and he still needs to be sharpened for a few years before he can be reused, and as for the other few people, His Majesty can entrust the important affairs of the two governments. ”

"Qing and Song Qing have the same thing."

"He's optimistic about these people?"

Zhao Kuangyi nodded.

Zhao Pu was a little bitter, and only said after a long time: "Then the old minister can leave the capital with confidence, with this number, the country will inevitably be more prosperous." ”

Zhao Kuangyi issued an edict to order Xijing to stay in Henan Yin with Zhao Pu as the middle book, and let him go to Luoyang.

Zhao Pu left, Zhao Kuangyi found Song Jiu again, the country suffered from this catastrophe, and someone must be able to preside over the affairs of Dongfu, and he wanted Song Jiu to take over. Song Jiu really refused: "Your Majesty, you can have Lu Mengzheng in the East Mansion." ”

"I'm worried that Lu Mengzheng is too junior to take on this heavy responsibility."

"Your Majesty, Zhuge Liang is a famous appearance through the ages, but he also has a lot of mistakes, the biggest mistake is to do everything by himself, as a result, the Shu people can not be sharpened, he died, the country was in chaos, and soon it was destroyed by the Wei State. Since His Majesty dared to send several people into the two mansions to grind, why didn't he dare to use them? Moreover, there is no definite number of disasters, and there will be good years in disaster years, and there will be disaster years in good years. Liaokou is always threatening the security of the border, and the position of Xifu cannot be ignored. ”

Zhao Kuangyi had no choice, and besides, the plan that made his heart flutter had not been launched.

As a result, there was no further change in the candidates for the two governments.

Song Jiu secretly high-fived and celebrated with Pan Li'er at home.

This time Zhao Pu went down and the last time he went down, maybe that day, under the torture of Zhao Tingmei's ghost, he would have to see King Yama to distinguish between right and wrong, so there was no minister in the court who could threaten Song Jiu.

It's not bad to think like this, first of all, Xifu, Wang Xian, Zhang Qixian, Zhang Hong, and Zhang Xun, the envoy of the Xuanhui North Court and the same Privy Council, and the East Mansion is still Lu Mengzheng, Wang Wei and Xin Zhongfu. Wang Xian and Zhang Xun are in the upper position with Zhao Kuangyi, and their talents are not outstanding. Although Xin Zhongfu made great achievements in the local government, he did not come to the capital for a long time. As for Lu Mengzheng, Zhang Qixian, Zhang Hong, and Wang Wei, they were all new science and technology scholars of the Zhao Kuangyi Dynasty, and Song Jiu threw them off 108,000 miles in terms of qualifications. Moreover, most of these people have no bad relationship with Song Jiu. Plus a royal history that oversees the rulers of the ministers.

Who will threaten Song Jiu?

In this case, Song Jiu participated in the court meeting.

He and Lu Meng are working at the east station and the west station, but the east one is definitely a little more expensive.

Standing in the first place, Lu Mengzheng looked at Song Jiu and felt a little uncomfortable.

Strictly speaking, Song Jiuzhan stood in second place, even though he was the first official in the west.

Song Jiu didn't pay attention at first, and when he saw Lu Mengzheng's expression, he couldn't help but glance behind him, and suddenly had an illusion, and he was afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, and the height was unbearable. Even if he is only in the first place in the west, this feeling now is that the height is unbearable!

Before Zhao Kuangyi came out, Song Jiu whispered to Wang Xian: "Prince, have I stayed in Xifu for too long?" ”

Wang Xian is about to cry, what do you mean, it's me when it comes to a long time. (To be continued......)
