Chapter 277: Anti-General First Army

"Because that would be pointless!

After arresting them, the officials who replace them will only continue to intensify the fishing and flesh of the common people and make money!

It's better to give them a chance to redeem themselves, they are at fault, and they will be much more restrained in the future, so that the people can live a little more relaxed! ”

Jiang Chen's words revealed an indescribable sadness.

After reading the people involved in those books, he completely despaired of the reactionary ruling class of the Northern Song Dynasty.

It is meaningless to know that such a batch of grasps is meaningless, because since the sentence 'There is a golden house in the book, there is a thousand Zhongsu in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book' is regarded as the truth by the world's readers;

Even from the moment Confucianism began to rule and enslave this national ideology, the corruption of officials in various dynasties has become the norm.

If you are not greedy or corrupt like Zong Ze, you will only be isolated as an outlier, and even be charged with trumped-up crimes.

Therefore, if we want to put an end to corruption, let the people live a good life, and make this nation truly strong from the bottom of our bones, there is no other way than to break it down and establish new doctrines and national beliefs.

And this is precisely where Jiang Chen's dream lies!

If everything in the Northern Song Dynasty was a dream, he hoped that when he woke up from the dream, he would see a powerful and proud people and a real oriental dragon.

It's a pity that now a lot of manpower and money have been spilled out, and a few notorious traitors have been eliminated, but there has been no change in the overall situation, which makes him feel that he has a long way to go.

Nie Shan didn't know that Jiang Chen had such great ambitions, and after looking at him deeply, he said with emotion: "Liangchen, no wonder you were chosen by the immortals, you are so calm and calm at such an age, it can be described as terrifying!" ”

"Lord Nie is overrated!"

Jiang Chen shook his head with a wry smile, and after discussing with Nie Shan for a while, he sent him away.

……

The next day, Jiang Chen came to Yuqing Villa with an injury and participated in the 'Xiaozao Dynasty' indiscriminately.

The so-called Xiaozao Dynasty is that Cai Jing and He Zhi took some controversial folds to invite Song Huizong to the Holy Judge.

Except for a few important ministers of the Privy Council and the heads of the three divisions of Yantie, Duzhi, and Hudu, only people with special official positions such as Julang and Zhongshu Sheren were eligible to participate.

Jiang Chen happened to have the position of a living room, so standing next to Song Huizong didn't seem too abrupt.

However, Cai Jing saw that he was extremely unpleasant, and after giving Song Huizong a few 'sending questions' as usual, he spoke first:

"Official, since the implementation of the Baojia Law, there have been many militiamen in Shaanxi, Hedong and other places who have refused to return to their hometowns after participating in the Baojia military training, and even many people have been recruited as bandits and bandits, which has caused chaos in many places!

Lao Chen believes that since the Baojia militia has been exempted from teaching, it has been in name only, and there is no merit, so it is better to abolish it, live with the people's livelihood, and enrich the people's labor! ”

Kindness?

Jiang Chen looked surprised: Lao Cai is not useless, at least he knows how to do something for the people!

As he was thinking like this, He Zhizhong objected: "This matter must not be done! Since the implementation of the armor protection law in the Shenzong Dynasty, it has provided a steady stream of soldiers for the frontier, which has made our Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia repeatedly victorious.

At present, the conquest of Liao is imminent, and it is a critical moment for the shortage of troops! How could Cai Xiang abandon his martial arts for the sake of a few cases? ”

Winning and winning?

The corners of Jiang Chen's mouth twitched, since Song Huizong succeeded to the throne, the Northern Song Dynasty had indeed not lost the war against Western Xia.

But in fact, it is the saying that the Xixia people ran away after grabbing it, and the benefits were exhausted, and they won many battles and won many battles, but they were just self-deceptive.

"Lack of troops? Not necessarily, right? ”

Cai Jing sneered, and looked at Jiang Chen with ill intentions: "I heard that all the people in the Limen are soldiers, and even women and children can participate in the training.

After Jiang Chen incorporated all the Bianjing Xiang Army, there would be 200,000 soldiers, wasn't it enough for the frontier? ”

Kindness?

Your uncle's!

What do you mean?

I can't wait to cut my military power?

Jiang Chen's face turned black in an instant, and he finally understood why He Zhizhong would resolutely oppose it, it turned out that Cai Jing was a drunkard and didn't mean to drink!

Seeing that Jiang Chen seemed to be frightened, Cai Jing asked with a happy face: "Jiang Chen, didn't you say that the purpose of training the Jimin Army was to help the official family recapture the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun?" I guess I wouldn't object to the recital of the Prime Minister, right? ”

Do I have reason to object?

Jiang Chen was depressed for a while, and in order to maintain the beautiful character in Song Huizong's mind, he had to think about countermeasures while replying with great readiness:

"The lower officials believe that the abolition of the armor protection law is indeed a good policy for the benefit of the people, and the Jimin Army can indeed fill the vacancy of the armor protection law soldiers."

Jiang Chen was not unwilling to let the Northern Song Dynasty have more militia, but he knew that those so-called militias had already become the free labor of officials and gentry, and they could not be called a soldier at all.

"You ......"

He Zhizhong glared angrily.

He regarded Jiang Chen as a hardcore ally, so he argued with Cai Jing about this matter to help Jiang Chen maintain power, but Jiang Chen actually stabbed him in the back.

Song Huizong was also surprised: What does Liangchen mean by this? Why don't you take sides with He Zhizhong? Doesn't he care about the military power in his hands and has no selfish intentions?

No way!

This little traitor would never be so easy to talk to!

There must be some conspiracy!

Cai Jing looked suspicious, for fear that Jiang Chen would come to a 'but', so he hurriedly clapped his hand and said, "Okay!" Since Jiang Shaoqing doesn't object, then this matter can be regarded as settled, right? ”

Cai Jing looked at Song Huizong expectantly.

"Well, Liangchen is dedicated to the public, and I am very comforted!"

Song Huizong praised Jiang Chen in public, for fear that the people and militia in other places would also rebel like Fang La, so he supported the proposal to abolish the armor protection law.

"Master has won the award, the Jimin Army is trained for you by the disciples, so naturally they will go wherever you point!"

Jiang Chen slapped a sycophant with a smile, and then took the opportunity to ask for a performance: "Master, Cai Xiang mentioned that the rest of the people with the people made the disciple ring, I don't know if it should be played?" ”

Uh-

Here, this little traitor really came to make a move!

Cai Jing narrowed his old eyes and stared at Jiang Chen vigilantly.

Song Huizong nodded and said: "Liangchen, you are now a living man, a doctor in the court, and you have the right to play a speech, and you will have a direct performance in the future!" ”

"Thank you, Master!"

Jiang Chen gave a deep salute, and then said: "Master, in order to make up for the shortage of the national treasury, Cai Xiang prepared military rations and salaries, and reformed the financial system.

The original two systems of the inner library and the household department were expanded into the Yingfeng Bureau, the Imperial Front Living Office, the Camp Repair Office, the Manufacturing Bureau, the People's Ship Office, the Xingxing Bureau, and the Xicheng Office...... and many other bureaus.

These dwellings take and spend from each other, and each does not take care of each other, so that the cultivation is rich, and the public and private are disadvantaged! The court is there for all to see!

Now, now that the Royal Chamber of Commerce has been fully financed, it is better to restore the old system and abolish the bureau! ”
