Wen Tianxiang walked into the house and saw Zhao Jiaren reading a book. Prime Minister Wen is fifty-eight years old, and there is no way to read the title of the book on the cover from a distance. He didn't immediately interrupt Zhao Jiaren's reading, but looked at the only Jinshi Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty until now.

Since ancient times, the emperor who has been able to save the life and survive will be recorded as the lord of Zhongxing, and if the emperor is a vast land, he will not be forgotten, but he will still be praised and degraded after thousands of years. Wen Tianxiang was admitted to the champion at a young age, and he knew very well that the existence of the emperor was not as perfect and omnipotent as the folklore. It is those lords of Zhongxing, those emperors who are vast and thousands of miles, they may be good at scheming, or good at decision-making, but none of them are known for their learning.

Now that Zhao Jiaren has set a precedent, no one in the entire Great Song Dynasty dares to boast of erudition in front of Zhao Jiaren, let alone knowledge. And the appearance of this emperor browsing with a book in his hand at this time perfectly shows what a scholar should look like.

Zhao Jiaren looked up at Wen Tianxiang at this time, put the open book on the coffee table next to him, and said, "Song Rui, sit." I will not rise up to meet you. ”

Wen Tianxiang smiled and sat down next to Zhao Jiaren very casually. Then he asked, "What books are the officials reading?" ”

"The Investigation of Infectious Diseases in the Great Song Dynasty, the latest thing from the Ministry of Health." Zhao Jiaren replied.

Hearing the vicious name of 'infectious disease', Wen Tianxiang couldn't laugh. After more than ten or twenty years of patriotic health month, even ordinary people know the dangers of infectious diseases, let alone acting prime ministers.

Zhao Jiaren was a doctor in that life, and he did not have such a drastic reaction to infectious diseases. He said with a smile: "Someone asked me why I moved the capital back to Kaifeng in late autumn, and I told them a reason at that time, the activity of infectious diseases decreased rapidly after late autumn, and the problem they had to face after returning to the Central Plains was probably not adapting to the water and soil. After saying that, I remembered that I had forgotten that there were epidemics in the Central Plains and the north. I asked for a copy to read, would you like to read it too? ”

After speaking, Zhao Jiaren stretched comfortably on the sofa. In China, infectious diseases were just a concept. As far as Zhao Jiaren's illness experience in the 21st century is concerned, it is probably that he vomited and diarrhea on his stomach after eating badly, he caught a cold after blowing after sweating, and he suffered strains, contusions, and sprains caused by careless exercise. In short, they are all plain and clear relative surgical conditions. It wasn't until he went to Great America that he learned that infectious diseases in this world could really cause mass deaths. In the 21st century, more Americans die from the flu than from cancer. In Greater America, the only things that can be matched by the lethality of the flu are drugs, gun crime and traffic accidents.

Looking at Zhao Jiaren's indifferent expression, Wen Tianxiang also felt that he was making a little fuss. Zhao Guanjia is a very elegant person, so when he said, 'The ball of death is facing up, and the death is dangling', it is really impressive. This is the freedom that a real celebrity should have.

Wen Tianxiang said with a smile: "Late autumn is probably October." It's already May. ”

"Hmm. In four months, we are about to leave. Zhao Jiaren was a little emotional.

Wen Tianxiang also sighed a little, and the content of his emotion was not the same as Zhao Jiaren, "Is it not appropriate for the official family to let me stay in the south first?" ”

"Afraid of what? Even if someone says that you want to rebel, do you think anyone really believes it? ”

Wen Tianxiang was made to laugh out loud by Zhao Jiaren's indifferent joke, "Haha! I don't think anyone would say that. ”

"Isn't it just to make up a statement about the North and South Courtyards? This kind of thing is the truth, and no one is allowed to say it? Zhao Jiaren said as he gave Wen Tianxiang a cigarette.

Wen Tianxiang took a sip, and his face still returned to solemnity. "Although it is true that the official family said this, the people of the imperial court are very uneasy now."

"Isn't it your job to let them settle down?" Zhao Jiaren can think about it completely. In the 21st century, after in-depth education by the media, Zhao Jiaren finally learned to let the news fly for a while. Even with him, he also understands that the turmoil in the human heart seems to come quickly, and it will soon be forgotten and restored. Even if you look at something big, it won't take long to get used to it, and even take it for granted. If it weren't for this bodily mechanism, humanity would have gone extinct long ago.

After taking a few more puffs, Wen Tianxiang asked him what he was most concerned about, "Official, if you promulgate a new system, I think the officials will not adapt to it so quickly." ”

Zhao Jiaren nodded, but did not speak. The latest personnel system is the originality that Zhao Jiaren is most proud of, and it is also something he knows is difficult. In the future, all high-ranking officials and cadres with real power at the deputy ministerial level will not retire from their corresponding posts. The last position of these people will be a county magistrate. This is not a denunciation, but Zhao Jiaren wants to try to see if these people can manage the county-level administrative units well after accumulating a lifetime of ability and knowledge.

With Zhao Jiaren's complete political experience, he certainly knows that governing a county can be very easy or extremely difficult. Just like after Zhao Jiaren left Putian, it is said that the Putian county lieutenants of all dynasties were super relaxed. As long as Mulan Pi is well maintained, Putian County is a small country of abundance. But every county is different, and many counties have their own major problems. If you want to find out the problems in the county and find solutions, the young county magistrates may not be able to do enough.

In addition to this, Zhao Jiaren also wants to try to see if such a method can help the cadre team to be younger. The retirement of the old guys in high positions will inevitably lead to many, many, many personnel problems. Having them retire in the county may make room for young people sooner.

Seeing that Zhao Jiaren only nodded and didn't speak, Wen Tianxiang sighed: "Official, I think this charter is a bit harsh. ”

Zhao Jiaren replied decisively: "I'll talk about it after I do it." I had already decided to be scolded when I issued it. ”

Wen Tianxiang knew how fierce his temperament was, and after meeting people, Wen Tianxiang privately thought that only Zhao Jiaren could be more intense than him. Wen Tianxiang will scold when he sees something unpleasant, and Zhao Jiaren will go up to do it when he sees something unpleasant. It was normal for those prime ministers of the Great Song Dynasty to be in power at the central and local levels, but that was mostly the result of political struggles. The purpose of Zhao Jiaren's institutionalization was clearly stated in the society meeting, and he hoped that all places could be governed. And these people in high positions should have the courage to work hard and the moral courage to take on such a heavy responsibility.

The problem is that, as far as Wen Tianxiang is concerned, these guys seem to lack such courage. Since becoming the acting prime minister, there has been an endless stream of people who have come to Wen Tianxiang to talk about Xiang. Even if Wen Tianxiang repeatedly told those people that he, the acting prime minister, no longer had the same personnel rights as before, and those who did not have the courage to take on such responsibilities, he hoped that Wen Tianxiang, a close friend of the Zhao Guanjia, would be able to persuade the Zhao Guanjia not to do so. These guys also know very well that they have long been unaccustomed to being punished in the county.

The last term was spent in the county, and if he didn't do well, he would be ridiculed. No matter how well it is done, it will be considered a smooth chapter. And even if they do their best, it won't help them or their own factions. There are more than 1,000 counties in the Great Song Dynasty, and after serving the last term, they bowed down and went to the big city to retire. Nor do these people expect that they can actually turn a county into their territory.

Seeing that Zhao Jiaren was not moved at all, Wen Tianxiang could only implement it firmly, and he sighed: "If the official family has decided, the minister will not mention this matter again." ”

Zhao Jiaren nodded slightly but did not speak. This made Wen Tianxiang sigh in his heart, this is where Zhao Jiaren's fierceness lies, no matter how many people oppose or agree with Zhao Jiaren's actions, or millions of people fall to the ground, Zhao Jiaren will respond with a calm attitude.

Leaving from Zhao Jiaren, Wen Tianxiang went back to the Ministry of Officials first. He was given the position of acting prime minister in the position of secretary of the ministry. The affairs of the officials are still under the control of Wen Tianxiang. As Zhao Jiaren said today, once the imperial court moved its capital back to Kaifeng, the Great Song Dynasty immediately had the problem of the north and south courts.

This north and south court is borrowed from the institutional term of the Liao State. He is in charge of the soldiers and horses of the six Khitan courts. Liao Taizu divided the Khitan Diethorn Department into five and six Yuan Ministries, each with Yi Li Jin, Liao Taizong Hui first year (938 years), changed the two Yuan Ministry Yi Li Jin into two royal courts, called the North University Royal Yuan and the South University Royal Yuan, the chief of the Southern University Royal Yuan official office called the South Yuan King, under the Southern University Wang Yuan Governor, the Southern Yuan Taishi, the South Yuan Taibao, the South Yuan Situ, the South Yuan Sikong, etc. In the eighth year of Emperor Tianqing of Liao Tianzuo (1118), the Taibao of the Southern Courtyard was abolished.

Of course, it is impossible for the Great Song Dynasty to do this, but many people do not have a real feeling about moving the capital, and they still feel that the ruling center of the Great Song Dynasty seems to be still in the south. The Central Plains is still the far north, and the legendary old capital. Since there is such a feeling, many people will feel that there is still an indescribable separation between the north and the south. As soon as the saying of 'North and South Courtyards' came out, it immediately began to become popular in the imperial court and even in the city of Hangzhou.

Of course, Wen Tianxiang knew that some people had already jokingly called him the 'King of the Southern Courtyard', and he was very angry about this. If it was the former Great Song Dynasty, there would definitely be literati officials who accused Wen Tianxiang like this. Those people would say that, just to bring down Wen Tianxiang. With Wen Tianxiang's qualifications and character, people who can say this do not believe this statement.

Wen Tianxiang was annoyed that these people were too good at arranging people, and they were still talking nonsense. But that's the way it is, no matter how ridiculous the rumors are, some people will believe them. The officials really thought that the north and the south would be divided, and there was a gang that seemed to be able to really control the state affairs of the south.

Sitting behind the desk, Wen Tianxiang sulked for a while. But thinking of Zhao Jiaren's calmness of 'the ball facing upwards when people die, and swaying around in the dead' today, he suddenly felt that he was so angry and looked stupid. The acting prime minister sighed and went on with his own work.
