Song Jiu's threat to Li Fang cannot be regarded as a threat. With his position, it would be too easy to get Li Fang down, but Li Fang would go down and let Zhao Pu come to power?

It's just that Li Fang didn't believe in Song Jiu's mentality, and thought that Song Jiu was a threat to his position, so he shot again and again.

Where did Song Jiu put him in his eyes, the facts also proved Song Jiu's contempt, Zhao Pu wanted to regain the position, so he had to bring down Li Fang, did he have to make any effort, no, even Zhao Pu didn't take a breath......

Song Jiu said it and did it.

He was Feng Han, but he was a little annoying in this era, such as Liao Jingzong who died of Feng Han. However, Song Jiu's health is fine, if it weren't for a serious illness last year, the wind and cold would have cleared up long ago. Not many days later, Song Jiu's condition recovered.

Zhao Kuangyi summoned Song Jiu into the palace and awarded him the title of Pingzhang under the Zhongshu Sect, Taibao, Shizhong and Zhaowenguan University Scholar.

In fact, there is also above, if it is a master and a scholar of the Zhaobunkan University, it will be more beautiful, but what is the difference?

Song Jiu immediately refused.

"Your Majesty, today's plan is not the east and west governments, but the three divisions, and last year's rewards and pensions for the military and civilians have not been allocated because of financial difficulties. The old minister asked to go to the third division and transfer Wang Ming to Xifu. ”

"Wang Ming has transferred me to Zhenzhou."

"Ahh

"I also know that Wang Qing is a talent, but Hebei is ruined, and it will be threatened by the Liao State at any time, so there must be a courtier with both civil and military skills to go to Hebei."

Song Jiu couldn't refute this reason, so he had to say: "If that's the case, transfer Zhang Qixian back to Xifu." ”

"Zhang Qixian's resume is still shallow, and Xifu may not be competent."

It's not that Zhang Qixian has little qualifications, and the main ascension speed is fast. There is still some lack of experience.

And Xifu is not very good now, Wang Chuchun doesn't understand. Wang Xian doesn't care about anything, and that Zhang Hong doesn't seem to be able to do it either.

It's a little better in Dongfu. Although Li Fang can't do it, but his subordinate Lu Meng is gradually growing, Xin Zhongfu is a first-class local minister, and after entering the Eastern Mansion, he is the same as in the local area, but he can make do.

Originally, the three divisions were full of talents, but Xu Zhongxuan didn't know what happened to Lu Dao, so he was sent to Jiangling as the prefect, and Jiangling is also a good place, not a hardship. Chen Congxin died. Wang Ming goes down again, who is left in the third division now?

A Zhang Xun, his mother remarried Wei Renpu in his father, and Wei Xianxin was his half-brother, who got involved in this relationship, of course, he made a quick start. Then I did one thing, and the countries of Ningpo, Srivijaya, Boni, and Champa came to pay tribute and sent a lot of rhino ivory and incense. Treasure, and then put it in the inner storehouse, and the court will reward it. Zhang Xun asked Zhao Kuangyi to sell it to merchants in the capital, adding 500,000 yuan a year to the imperial court.

Actually, no. The imperial court has paid a lot.

But if you put it in the inner vault, you can also say that the money is earned. Now he has become the envoy of the three divisions, but Song Jiu is a little skeptical about this person's talent.

Another important official position, the household envoy, Li Weiqing, is not bad. Outstanding achievements in local government.

There are also Chen Xiangyu, the deputy envoy of salt and iron, and Dong Yan, the deputy envoy of the degree branch. These two people Song Jiu don't know very well, and it is estimated that they are two soy sauce goods.

Wang Ming went to Xifu or went down. The talents of the three divisions were immediately poor.

Zhao Kuangyi didn't know that Song Jiu was evaluating the talents of the three important departments of the state, and continued to say complacently: "I also asked Chen Shu to know that he was the envoy of the camp field system of Lanzhou and Hebei East Road, and Wei Yu was the deputy envoy. ”

"These two are good officials." Song Jiu said solemnly.

Chen Shu is a native of Hongzhou, before he was admitted to the Jinshi, he met Wang Ming, the governor of Hongzhou at that time, and Wang Ming spoke with him, which was very strange. Wang Mingnai is a first-class good official, who can make him wonderful, which shows his ability. After taking office, he made remarkable political achievements, last year instead of Zhao Changyan knew the Daimyo Mansion, the Liao people invaded, and built the city defense, but there were not many materials in the treasury, and the large families set up utensils. The big man was not satisfied, Chen Shu immediately arrested one of the wealthy households, and wanted to kill him on the spot, and the big tycoons kowtowed and bled to intercede for him, so he limited the time of the big tyrants, and put this person in shackles and paraded on the street. Frightened, the people completed the work one after another. Seeing that the Daimyo's Mansion was prepared, the Liao people did not invade the Daimyo's Mansion.

Wei Yu was the Southern Tang official who Cao Bin destroyed Jiangnan and surrendered in Xuancheng, but he was also a good official.

Wang Ming was in the northern part of Hebei, Chen Wei and the others were in the southern part of Hebei, and the three good officials went down, which played a great role in Hebei's recovery.

However...... Song Jiudao: "But in this way, the three divisions are even more lacking in talents, and the ministers don't know who will replace Wang Ming?" ”

"How is Zhang Xun?"

"The minister doesn't know much, and it is estimated that his talent is not as good as Wang Ming."

"Hebei is also important."

"Hebei is indeed very important, so the minister asked His Majesty to let the minister go to the third division."

Zhao Kuangyi was furious: "You have no fault of demoting the three divisions, how can the people of the world look at me?" ”

In the end, there was no way, so Song Jiu learned from Li Chongju, and as a privy envoy and the three divisions of the same judgment, run on both sides.

Of course, that's not the case.

Song Jiu saw that Zhao Kuangyi was getting more and more angry, so he had to agree, let's do it first, and then see if there is any talent, let him replace him. Only one side, not both. But he still refused the post of servant, and went to two errand posts with the secretary of the military department.

Li Fang breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Song Jiu didn't give him face, he also said practical things, what are you doing with me, if you don't mess with me, I won't mess with you, the person who wants to mess with you is your old leader Zhao Pu!

Who is powerful, it's not Song Jiu, it's Zhao Pu.

I have to figure out the goal, and sure enough, this time Song Jiu arrived in Xifu, and even took the three divisions with him, Li Fang didn't trouble Song Jiu from beginning to end, and after a while, he was not in the mood to trouble Song Jiu......

Song Jiu's movement in the third division is very small, as he expected, whether it is Zhang Xun, or Chen Xiangyu, Dong Yan, it is not as good as Song Jiu's intentions, but the newly appointed salt and iron envoy Zhang Ping is not bad, but he was corrupt and bribed when he was in charge of Qin Longmu City, and after being impeached by Li Anzhi, the transfer envoy of Shaanxi, Zhang Ping was angry and angry, and like Liu Tingrang, he fell ill. Then Song Jiu continued his sister to find his brother with tears, and finally transferred Chen Shu back to the third division to assist, and the third division stabilized.

But what Song Jiu did was still fine-tuned as before.

It is not a large-scale reform, but a reform of some details, such as the continued reduction of some less profitable farms. This is the most speechless place, no matter what the workshop. No matter how profitable it is, as long as it is all run by the government. In the end, due to corruption, he slowly lost his profits. But Song Jiu did not give these Fangchang River Ferry money to the powerful in disguise, but only auctioned the management rights, in fact, the effect of this is a little better, the first saves unnecessary officials and officials, the second saves a lot of forced labor, and the third profit has faintly increased part.

Then regulate some unnecessary waste, and at the same time remove some harsh policies.

Some are more complicated, such as Quang Nam Yanzheng in the spring.

There are many large salt farms in Guangzhou. Later, Song Jiu in Zhongshu, reasonably re-planned the salt industry of some state capitals, such as Qianzhou on Jiangnan West Road, and all the salt industry in the southern states of Hunan was handed over to Guangyan, so that the people could eat salt conveniently and cheaply.

However, the production of Guangyan is too large, and the production exceeds the sales, so a lot of finished salt is hoarded. The officials below said that it can supply salt for 60 years, that is, the salt is not produced in Guangzhou, and this salt is enough for 60 years.

Therefore, Wang Ming stopped all the salt farms in Guangyan together and let the salt farmers make their own livelihoods. The actual cost of salt is very low. Especially for sun-dried salt and lake salt, a pound is often only one or two pennies, which is expensive. One is the freight, and the other is the profit of the Song Dynasty.

Salt farmers are more than they can work. Upon completion of the task, the floating salts will be purchased at a slightly higher price. But the price is pitifully low within the mission. Of course, the imperial court also gave him cattle and tools, etc.

If the officials below don't take it or deduct it, the income of the salt households can still maintain food and clothing for the family, but how can it be done?

The salt stopped, which was good for these salt farmers.

Wang Ming did a good job.

However, Song Jiu went one step further, and it was actually impossible to meet the needs of sixty years, and the population would gradually increase in the future, and it would be good to be able to meet the needs of thirty years.

Song Jiu encouraged officials in Hunan and western Guangnan to bring salt to various barbarian regions and barter with them. Especially in the area at the junction of the Song Dynasty and Dali, the imperial court had very weak control over it, and the salt eaten was well salt, which was the most expensive and dangerous to excavate. What is shipped out is mountain goods, and if you can operate, you can make a profit. What is this salt doing here?

Moreover, the opening of the salt road is also conducive to the civilization of these tribes, and gradually merge with the imperial court, which will be familiar with the terrain of these areas and easy to manage in the future.

But in Xifu, Song Jiu's movement is not small, and it is not okay to be small, and the Liao State will invade at any time, like a demon shadow pressing on everyone's hearts.

First, it was proposed that Yang Ye replace him and transfer Zhang Qixian back.

When I went to Xifu, I first had an understanding of military affairs.

In fact, after Song Jiu reminded him repeatedly, everyone realized that it was difficult to choose the Xifu candidate, so that the Xifu candidate later gave many people a headache.

Then he took the king to Dongfu. Originally, his relationship with Song Jiu in Xifu was okay, but this guy also wanted to be on the throne, so he joined Li Fang's ranks, Song Jiu thought about it, don't you want to be on the throne, Zhang Qixian is here, you go to Dongfu. So he told Zhao Kuangyi that Wang Wei didn't understand military affairs, but Wenzhi was okay, and it was a waste to put it in Xifu, so Zhao Kuangyi transferred him to Dongfu to serve as a governor. Wang Chu was incomprehensible, and I don't know if Song Jiu was kind or evil.

Zhang Hong was still not good, Wang Xian continued to make soy sauce, but with Zhang Qixian's help, Song Jiu finally took a breath.

First, Li Jiqian was transferred back, and the imperial court transferred him back, and then Song Liao went to war, and in order to prevent the regeneration and change of the northwest, he was transferred back, but he may have seen that the Song Dynasty suffered a loss, and a small Li Jiqian gave the court a headache and also had ideas. But he is not Li Jiqian, he has small moves, but the lack of ability, the lack of courage, these small actions are not big, so that the Northwest secret agent knows about the Dao, and Song Jiu quickly proposed to transfer this person to the south.

Then in the northwest to expand the forbidden soldiers, that is, some of the voluntary forbidden soldiers into the forbidden soldiers, different from history, the history of the Song Dynasty soldiers have been staying in the northwest, now because of the two battles died many forbidden soldiers, the strength is insufficient, so conscription of some Tibetan soldiers, if you want your family to stay in the northwest, the treatment is slightly worse, similar to the township soldiers in Hedong, Hebei, if you want, come to the vicinity of Gyeonggi to settle, will farm to the countryside, will not farm to the urban area, try to let their families go to the workshop to do things.

Anyway, Song Jiu was ruthless, and he didn't want to ban the army and let his wife be a military prostitute because of poverty, even if it was a Fanzi Qiang person.

This army is not much, and the number of township soldiers is even less.

They trained in the northwest with the forbidden soldiers of the imperial court, which was to build a strong cavalry in the future. Not now, at least five years later, when the Song Dynasty will have 50,000 cavalry alone.

A cavalry let the Song Dynasty pit.

And because of the carelessness of the Liao State, Song Jiu and Yang Ye Li Jilong made meritorious contributions and captured a large number of war horses, which also laid the foundation for this military reform.

The forbidden soldiers in the northwest are training into quasi-cavalry, and the soldiers themselves are cavalry, which is fast and has strong combat effectiveness, and it also effectively deters all ethnic groups in the northwest and allows the northwest to continue to integrate.

Song Jiu attaches great importance to the northwest, there can be no accident in the northwest, as soon as something happens, Song Chao looked at Yan Yun and sighed.

Then to Hebei.

There is Pan Mei in the east of the river, but it is Hebei that moves! (To be continued......)
