The New Year is approaching, the weather suddenly becomes cold, although there is no snow in the past few days, but the bleak wind and cold rain, so that the entire Lin'an Palace is shrouded in a cold rain.

For Zhao Hong, who first ascended the throne, no day was idle, not even on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Writing the words "New Deal", "Economic Boundary Law" and "Anti-Corruption" on the paper, Zhao Hong frowned, looked up at the drizzle outside the window.

The so-called New Deal is nothing more than a new bottle of old wine, but the impurities and precipitation in the old wine must be removed.

Three redundancy, redundant officials, redundant soldiers, redundant expenses, the three stubborn diseases that the final Song Dynasty failed to solve, can he solve it?

And he must solve these problems in order to change the situation of the Song Dynasty's weakness and poverty, so as not to really appear after the cliff mountain.

After all, behind him, there are 70 million people of the Great Song Dynasty.

On the table in front of him sat an article that looked like it was full of alterations.

To be exact, it is an enrollment guide, the enrollment brochure of Jinling Lecture Martial Arts Hall.

"The edict said, I congratulate the treasure life, take care of the land, learn from the rise and fall of the predecessors, and think of the war with trepidation, like walking on meager ice. In order to advocate the martial spirit of the people of the Great Song Dynasty and revitalize the weakness of the Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years, a martial arts hall was set up in Jinling City. All my patriotic youths, whether rich or poor, regardless of their background, can go to the lecture hall to study for the exam. Anyone over the age of 17, under 30, who is in good health and understands the text and ink can go to the assessment, and the assessment time is from the first day of March to the fifth day of the first year of Xingqing. After passing the assessment, the trainees are scheduled to graduate in one year, with a predetermined quota of 1,200 people, and after graduation, they will enter the army as junior officers, and those who pass the one-year internship in the army will be middle and low-level officers...... Announce the world, salty make ......"

The writing is smooth, concise and to the point, and the article is good.

Zhao Hong couldn't help but smile proudly.

Normal students are not useless.

As for the enrollment brochure of the Great Song Naval Academy, it has been posted in the early stage of the "China Daily", mainly for the southeast coastal areas such as Liangguang, Fujian, Zhejiang, Huainan, etc., and the age of enrollment is also two to three years younger than that of the martial arts hall, after all, the study time of the sailor is much longer, and the experience at sea needs to be accumulated slowly.

As for Jinling University Hall, because the first phase is all the children of the noble officials and eunuchs of Lin'an City, it belongs to the enrollment of students within the system, so there is no enrollment brochure.

"Dong Songchen, you personally hand over this article to Liu Kezhuang and Hu Ji of the Propaganda Department, and ask them to publish it in the latest issue of the newspaper and send it to all the state capitals as soon as possible. Let the Ministry of War spread the message in the name of me to all military prefectures and counties, so that the people of the world must know about it. ”

10,000 years is too long. In the matter of establishing a military school, Zhao Hong was more anxious than anyone else.

The Great Song Dynasty was confined to the south of the Yangtze River, and the last few days could convey the will of the court, and a month was enough time for the farthest Sichuan to write. As for newspapers, they should spread faster and wider.

Dong Songchen took the enrollment brochure, looked at it carefully, and asked later:

"Your Majesty, the Sailor Academy has only recruited 600 people. Isn't it too much to recruit 1,200 people in the martial arts hall? ”

In the imperial examination, there are only two or three hundred people in three years. This year, it's 1,200 people, isn't it a "redundant official"?

"The Naval Academy is only the navy, but the Jinling Martial Arts Hall is a foot rider and a sailor. Excluding the children of the eunuchs in the army and Lin'an City, only 800 people can be recruited in the martial arts hall, which is already enough! ”

Zhao Hong shook his head and laughed.

Infantry, the mother of all arms, is the foundation of the martial arts.

In addition to the 200 young officers recommended by the army, to appease the morale of the army; About 200 children of the powerful in Lin'an Mansion were selected to appease the hearts of the court scholars and doctors; The remaining 800 recruited trainees, facing the 17th Road of the Great Song Dynasty, have an average of less than 50 people per road, which is enough to be few.

"Your Majesty, can they do those gentlemen in Lin'an City?"

Dong Songchen said cautiously, still a little uneasy.

"Merit-based selection, but also assessment, into the school to study for a year. The same is true for Jinling University Hall. After a year of training, it's just a pile of garbage, and it's okay if you can't do it! ”

Militarized management, coupled with strict drills, is not yet subject to drills.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that some garbage is garbage and disappoint Your Majesty!"

Dong Songchen muttered quietly, reminding Zhao Hong.

"You kid, you are verbose, more annoying than Tang Seng!"

Zhao Hong glared, and Dong Songchen hurriedly shut up.

The emperor even put out the school motto, school emblem, and school song, and the hopes he placed on him were big enough, and he couldn't spoil the emperor's interest.

"Have the drill equipment drawings needed for the Lecture Hall and the Sailor Academy been handed over to the Ordnance Division?"

Horizontal bars, parallel bars, dumbbells, low pile nets, high walls, balance beams, assassination armor, assassination wooden guns, steel targets, wooden stakes, including wooden horses for training cavalry, and so on. The more comprehensive the equipment, the better.

He actually wanted to do a triathlon, but unfortunately there were no bicycles in this era, and maybe they could be replaced in some way in the future.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Tu is already proofing. However, I am afraid that it will not be until after the Yuan Xi Festival that we can see the samples made. As long as the sample is confirmed, it is faster to do. ”

has been following Zhao Hong for a long time, and Dong Songchen is also full of new terms.

Zhao Hong nodded slightly. The first half of the first month of the first month to determine the sample, the second half of the first month and February production and installation, the time is tight enough.

"You urge Zheng Tu, all craftsmen who work overtime on festivals will be given double the amount of money per person. In addition, there are school emblems, school flags, uniforms, shoes and socks for students, and ............"

Zhao Hong was still verbose, and the guard's soft voice sounded outside.

"Your Majesty, the truth is asking to see you outside the palace."

"Let him in."

Zhao Hong walked back and sat back in his chair.

At the beginning of the new dynasty, there were still many things to rely on these courtiers, especially these high-ranking "own people".

At the very least, you have to give it a try.

"Your Majesty summoned the ministers, I don't know what happened?"

Zhen Dexiu got a lot wet, and he was not polite and got straight to the point.

"Mako, please take a seat. Summoning you here, naturally there is something important to discuss. ”

Chinese New Year's Eve was summoned to discuss political affairs, and Zhao Zhen really felt a little unhappy in his heart.

"Shi Miyuan monopolized the power, and the deliberations of the Zaizhi Hetang were in vain, so that the imperial power collapsed, the dictatorship of the ministers, and the emperor became a puppet."

Zhao Hong looked at Zhen Dexiu with a soft gaze.

"I appointed Xue Ji as the prime minister, Xuan Xuan as the privy envoy, and restored the old system, I hope the true prince will not mind."

Xue Ji was originally the secretary of the Ministry of Officials and the governor of the government, and Xuan Xuan was the secretary of the military department and the governor of the government, and these two people served as the prime minister and privy envoy respectively, in charge of civil affairs, military affairs, and divided the power of the independent minister, and Zhao Hong was also seriously considered.

As for why Zhendexiu is not allowed to be the prime minister, the reason is very simple, the article is splendid, and it is not necessarily outstanding in politics.

It is too unrealistic to place emphasis on "rule by man" over "rule of law" and on morality over punishment, and to place hopes on the sage of the monarch and the integrity of officials rather than the soundness and protection of the legal system.

People's hearts are selfish! Once they get the benefits, who wants to spit out the meat they have eaten in their mouths?

"Your Majesty is too worried, and the minister doesn't dare to complain!"

Zhen Deok-so was disappointed, but he still obeyed the emperor's will.

Shi Miyuan is authoritarian, pro-trustworthy, yielding and compromising externally, purging dissidents internally, recruiting power and accepting bribes, and bribing public banks. During his reign, he printed a large number of new guilds, not in gold, silver, and copper coins, but only in exchange for old guilds, and discounted the old guilds by half. As a result, the price of the currency fell, prices soared, and the people were struggling to make a living.

The story of Shi Miyuan's dictatorship can never be repeated.

As for him not becoming a prime minister or privy envoy, presumably the emperor made his own decision.

"Your Majesty, Hu Yu likes luxury, has long sleeves and is good at dancing, and he is very greedy for ink during his tenure. If he continues to serve as the ruling minister, I am afraid that something big will happen sooner or later. ”

Zhen Dexiu couldn't help but admonished Zhao Hong.

"If Hu Yu is not greedy, I will not pursue my past mistakes. If he is greedy, it will be a stepping stone for me to implement a new policy. If you want to shock the world, when necessary, you must kill chickens and monkeys. ”

Zhao Hong smiled slightly, and Zhen Dexiu shuddered.

He can't be punished by a sergeant. Is the emperor going to punish the law severely?

"True Gong, if you don't object to Xue Ji and Xuan Xuan sharing the prime minister and privy envoy, I will be much more stable in my heart."

Zhao Hong hesitated for a moment and continued:

"True father, you are only seven out of forty, and you are in the prime of life. Xuan Xuan and Xue Ji are both over the age of six, and in a few years, I will still count on you and Wei Shilang Hu Mengyu. Do you understand my painstaking efforts? ”

Whether it's a promise or a cake, anyway, in his heart, he doesn't think that Zhen Dexiu has the ability to dominate the country. If Jin Deok-so could be more pragmatic, he wouldn't mind letting the teacher go further.

He didn't want the Manchu Dynasty Lady to advocate science, like to talk clearly, and treat state affairs in vain.

"Your Majesty, keep it in mind!"

Zhen Dexiu bowed, and his heart was much more comfortable.

Maybe in a few years, he will be able to dominate the world. It seems that he still has some weight in the emperor's heart.

"True Prince, in addition to the Jinling Lecture Hall and the Jinling University Hall, I have piloted the implementation of the new policy on Jiangnan East Road, in addition to severely punishing corruption, prohibiting bird fighting, cricket fighting, and foot binding, the most important thing is to check and verify the land possession to verify the imperial court's land endowment."

Jin Deok-so's eyes widened and he forgot to speak for a moment.

Zhao Hong suddenly proposed so many political affairs to be done, which made him unable to react for a while.

"Zhengong, you are the secretary of the household department, the governor of political affairs, and my teacher. I'd like to hear what you think. ”

Zhao Hong looked at Zhen Dexiu with a gentle face.

This teacher of his own, a master of science, will there be any good solution to the shortcomings of the Great Song Dynasty.

Seeing Zhen Dexiu frowning and pondering, Zhao Hong directly wrote a few words, erected the paper, and faced Zhen Dexiu.

He was ready to implement the New Deal, but he did not have time to play hide and seek with his ministers.

The reason why it is called the implementation of the new policy, and not the reform of the law, is because the predecessors have done it, but it has only been a failure.

"Warp Boundary Law!"

The words on the paper surprised Zhen Dexiu and blurted out.

Your Majesty, this is going to implement the meridian boundary law on Jiangnan East Road!

I'm afraid this is going to cause earth-shattering waves.

"Those who have land may not have taxes, those who have taxes may not have land, the rich have fields and no land, the tax registers are not true, the taxes are uneven, and the wealth of the country falls into the pockets of the powerful and powerful, bullying and foolishness, relying on their high profits, and merging with profits."

Zhao Hong put down the paper, his face heavy.

"Where is the majesty of the imperial court? The imperial court has no money, what kind of training can it take? What do you take to buy armor weapons? And what will you take to reassure the people? ”

The Great Song Dynasty did not restrict land annexation, and the land in the state capitals was concentrated in the noble families, and the peasants had few fields but heavy labor, which was difficult to afford. At the same time, the powerful officials hid their fields and hid taxes, and the imperial court and the government were in financial and tax embarrassment, and they could not make ends meet.

Although the Song Dynasty developed industry and commerce, the commercial tax was far greater than the agricultural tax, but this was not because of the high contribution of the commercial tax, but a large part of the reason was the problem of excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, as well as the evasion of agricultural taxes.

The emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty implemented the "meridian law" one after another, but because of the obstruction of powerful officials and eunuchs, the collusion of officials and businessmen, they failed again and again.

The anti-corruption party is only the party that is the only one that has died. If you don't fight corruption and destroy the country, it is the country of the Great Song Dynasty that will die, and it is the thousands of people at the bottom of the society who will suffer.

The tragedy of the death of the country is best not to fall on the head of the Great Song Dynasty.
