Cui Yanjin wrote a letter to Song Jiu.

Everyone wants to be on top, Song Jiu scolded Li Fang, in fact, compared to others, Li Fang is quite good. Climbed to this position, the one who has not been pitted, and who has been pitted?

Cui Yan went to Bazhou, and he was not as good as the cannon Cui Han, he was even more unwilling.

However, he also knew that the mistakes he had made were too serious, not only failures, but also greed for life and fear of death......

Once the generals fall into the reputation of being greedy for life and afraid of death, the future is worrying.

Therefore, after racking his brains, there is a letter to this thing.

Song Jiu opened it to see, the Song Dynasty was deployed in Hebei, Xiao Yanyan was also deployed in Youzhou, Song Jiu had always admired Xiao Yanyan before, the two countries were at war, each was its master, she was the queen mother of Liao, if she didn't protect Liao, would she protect the Song Dynasty? Even if she took the Beijing view and shot ghost arrows, but since Xiao Yanyan attacked the common people, her impression was bad. However, this is a very shrewd woman.

The Song Dynasty made that shoe.

The Liao people had no effect, lost their cavalry advantage, and competed with the Song soldiers for skating? Look for death.

In fact, Liao can not be manufactured, including some volcanic crossbows, tiger cannons, because the technology is becoming more and more developed, the manufacturing process has become complicated, even if you get the real thing, it is not easy to imitate, is there a casting process? Is there a steelmaking process? This little shoe will be more difficult to imitate.

If you are not afraid of big, you are afraid of small!

This shoe made Xiao Yanyan hard, she seemed to see its limitations, it must be cold in winter, the colder it is now, the more beneficial it is for Song Bing, and the second must be more rivers and lakes, and the actual application area is only in the eastern part of Hebei and the southeast of Youzhou.

But this also gave Liao a headache.

If the problem is not serious in the coastal area. Almost all of them are lake swingers, reeds, saline land. Sparsely populated, but the southern part of Juma River, as well as the slightly higher terrain near Youzhou, are the first-class cultivation areas in Liao.

In the Song Dynasty, a fire burned from the Juma River to Youzhou, and the people left the well, although measures were taken to remedy it last year. It has also seriously delayed Youzhou's agricultural production. The terrible Song army may come again this year, not on the plains, but on the rivers and lakes. The speed of the cavalry will be somewhat affected, but the speed of the Song army is very fast, which makes the Liao defense overwhelmed.

So he planted wooden stakes on various rivers in Youzhou to block the Song army.

But this one comes. It has seriously affected the fishing industry in Youzhou.

Hit this one. It's a competition for damage!

With Xiao Yanyan's arrangement, the Song army could not enter the Liao realm in winter, but when the rivers began to melt gradually this year, Cui Yanjin came up with a bold idea.

After Song Jiu saw it, he pondered for a while, Cui Yanjin was just a preliminary idea, and he wanted to realize a more detailed plan, as well as factors such as the weather. But this idea made Song Jiu very moved, so he immediately replied with a letter. Let Cui Yanjin not have to say this idea to anyone and send it to Bazhou. Then take this letter and meet Zhao Kuangyi.

Zhao Kuangyi looked at the letter, and suddenly couldn't sit still, as if he had taken ten doses of stimulants, walking around, and said, "Is it feasible?" ”

"Feasible...... It's feasible, and if you want to implement it, it will take at least three or four years, and it depends on the timing. ”

"The people of Youzhou will resent me."

"Your Majesty, if you can't recover Youzhou, they will always be the enemy's people, farming for the enemy, paying taxes for the enemy, fighting for the enemy, and becoming the vanguard of tearing apart the defense line on the battlefield of Qigou Pass."

"Song Jiu, you've changed."

"It's not that the minister has changed, the minister hasn't changed, and the minister doesn't want to die, even if it's an enemy, but it must be dead, and the minister would rather die ten enemy people than a soldier of the Great Song Dynasty."

"Ugh."

"Tang Taizong's treatment of Tubo is not unkind, and Tang Xuanzong's treatment of An Lushan is indispensable. Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, and you regard the country as your home, not your family, and your clan as your family, and your people, so no matter whose home it is, what kind of race, it is your children. Youzhou can't be recovered, they are the enemy's people, so they don't need to be compassionate to Your Majesty, the more sympathetic they are, but they will fight for the enemy and your Majesty's army. If it can be recovered, it will not be too late to govern it like it governs Hedong. ”

"Okay, so be it."

Song Jiu retracted the letter.

Of course, this is only Cui Yanjin's initial idea, whether it is cruel or not, it is quite difficult to implement.

Zhao Kuangyi is also reasonable, after the defensive battle of Qiguang Pass, the bloody battle of Baigou Road, and looking at the ruins of the battlefield of Junziguan, Song Jiu's mood must have changed.

Song Jiu said again: "Your Majesty, there are still two things for your majesty to ask for your grace. ”

"Say it."

"There are few talented officials in the three divisions, so the minister wants to ask His Majesty to recall Chen Shu from Hebei Road."

"Is the talent of the officials of the three divisions bad?"

"Li Weiqing is acceptable, and the rest is somewhat insufficient, or he can't take on the heavy responsibility."

"How is Zhang Xun?"

"Barely protect yourself, no big mistakes."

"How is Zhang Qixian?"

"Zhang Qixian is good at military affairs, and if he is the governor of the East Mansion, he is afraid that he will not have enough power, but he is a good candidate to serve as the governor of the West Mansion."

"How are Wang Xian and Zhang Hong?"

"Wang Xian seems to be very proficient in the art of war, and if he is a border official, he is the best candidate, but as the governor of Xifu, he is not good at expressing himself and is not good at governing the government, and he is not suitable."

As for Zhang Hong, Song Jiu didn't want to comment on it.

But according to his requirements, there are few people who can serve as the rulers of Xifu. In fact, what Song Jiu said was still the third division. The financial problem has become the top priority of the country, and Song Jiu himself is not a god, so he can only say that he does things carefully and will not make serious mistakes. And Song Jiu also wanted to let go, and took the three divisions as his behalf, which seemed to be beautiful, but it was actually very bitter, and after a long time, he was also looked down upon. Therefore, I want to call Chen Shu back, so that at least two of the three divisions can be taken out of the big officials, and there will be no mistakes.

If it was Chen Shuxing, Song Jiu would gradually let go.

Zhao Kuangyi thought for a while and said, "Accurately." ”

Chen Shu was also very busy, but it was different in history, he mainly went down to Tuntian, but at that time he was mostly urban soldiers, Chen Shu said that soldiers were not good at farming, and when they went down in the spring, they would be cultivated immediately. Let them lay down their weapons and pick up farm tools in the event of an enemy invasion. The consequences will be dire. So Zhao Kuangyi replaced Zhang Qixian with him and went to Daizhou.

But this time they are mostly rural children, and there are no historical problems, so they are very busy with Wei Yu.

After a year, the affairs are basically clueless, and they can be recalled, and the rest of Wei Yu can take over.

Song Jiu said again: "Last year. The country's finances are in difficulty, and the ministers only adjust, and do not dare to reduce or reduce taxes. This year's finances are slightly better. However, the people of Hebei, Henan, and Jingdong have been traumatized, and they hope to ask His Majesty to give him another year. ”

In fact, the failure of the Northern Expedition of Yongxi was not only in Shandong, Henan, and Hebei, but also in the whole country. Huainan. The people of Hedong and other areas were still burdened with forced labor. However, relatively speaking, the people in these three regions are the most miserable.

Zhao Kuangyi thought about it, he also wanted the people to be good, but in this way, all three roads would be tax-free for one year, and the national income would be reduced a lot, but he still agreed in the end.

"Your Majesty is really a benevolent monarch," Song Jiu slapped a little sycophant. He also said: "Your Majesty has built temples and temples over the years to pray for the blessings of the people. It costs a lot, but the effort is also commendable. Ranchen thought that the best blessing is that the country is peaceful, the people live and work in peace and contentment, so in the opinion of the minister, in its vast construction of temples, it is better to take out these uses, among the three roads, the people of Hebei are the most bitter, allocate money, purchase farm tools and cattle, allocate to the third class and below the household, or the martyr's family, to farm, so that his family can break free from the suffering as soon as possible. ”

"It's going to be a lot."

"Let's find a way to solve it, but we need the grace of Your Majesty."

"I'm worried about the invasion of Liaokou......"

"The ministers will allocate funds at their discretion, which is also a test of the officialdom and officials of my Great Song Dynasty."

Don't think that a lot of taxes will be exempted, and the resumption is tax-free, but it only refers to two taxes, and the proportion of the two taxes in the fiscal revenue of the Song Dynasty is getting lower and lower, and it may seem that the number is still very large, but it is a stone, that is a bundle, that is a horse, if it is a silk silk is worth it, but what about cotton, what about a stone of wheat millet, and how much can a bunch of grass be worth? Moreover, it is only two taxes for the people of the three roads. The cattle farming tools that Song Jiu mentioned are not available to every household, and this also depends on the situation of the war, and the money is not very much. If it is the money of a few temples in Zhao Er Province, it can almost be realized.

But it's not what I think, it doesn't seem to be much, it's actually a lot, the officials below have to be greedy, take a handful, the number of officials who are greedy for ink is not very much, it may be a little better than the corruption situation of officialdom in the later generations of Song Jiu, but there is another group of the most hateful, that is, the officials of Kezhou County, they are the executors of tax collection, in fact, once they are restored, it is not a state and a government, which is equivalent to blocking the invisible income of countless officials on the three roads, which may cause unnecessary trouble.

However, it was this sentence that made Zhao Kuangyi very curious, so he said: "I am also accurate." ”

Zhao Kuangyi was approved, but Song Jiu was very careful, Zhao Kuangyi was also reasonable, to prevent the invasion of Liao, or if there were natural and man-made disasters, in that case, the treasury must have money, food and cloth, so that he can feel at ease.

Chen Shu was transferred to the Third Division.

Then this made some people nervous, and the Gang of Four began.

…………………………

In the Song Dynasty, there was a profession called a book owner, or also called a scripture, which was to copy books for others, which was not plagiarism, or simply copying books to make a living. For example, in the early years of Song Jiu in the academy, he borrowed many books from Zhao Kuangyin and asked the students to copy them and put them in the academy. Later, Bailudong Academy and Yuelu Academy studied again, and now these three academies have several copies of almost all the books in the Royal Three Pavilions, except for some confidential diagrams. Even with the increase in the number of migrants from the South China Sea, they brought a lot of books there.

What students do is to be a book sponsor.

But they are not professional book supporters, and they are not even paid.

However, many wealthy officials also want to treasure books, and some books are too expensive if they are printed, and the sales are small, so they ask some well-written readers to copy them, and then bind them and put them at home. These people are called book lovers.

Hu Dan met a book supporter named Zhai Ying, who said that his sex was dangerous, but he was actually quite bold. Hu Dan admired it very much.

After Song Jiu had a long talk with Zhao Kuangyi, Zhao Kuangyi was carefully reflecting on the candidates for the three important departments of the state, not only the three divisions and the Xifu, but also the candidates for the Dongfu were not very good, and what was not very good was Li Fang's ability.

Hu Dan is a knowledgeable system, and there are several knowledgeable officials, including Lao Wang Hu, who are unhappy with Hu Dan, but Hu Dan is standing, but Hu Dan's talent can be imagined.

learned well, and Zhao Guangyi likes to promote backwards, so he is reused.

Therefore, he can be said to be Zhao Kuangyi's "close minister" who is very close to the side, and he vaguely perceives some thoughts in Zhao Kuangyi's heart.

That night, Hu Dan and Zhai Ying talked for a long time.

What Zhai Ying did was not trivial, Hu Dan repeatedly asked Zhai Ying to think twice, but Zhai Ying still promised.

Hu Dan said: "Then you can change your name, call it Zhai Mazhou." (To be continued......)
