Outside the palace, students and demonstrators were violent. In the vertical arch hall, it was peaceful at this time, and the emperor Zhao Hong's face was calm, and he was asking about state affairs, no matter how big or small.

News from the northwest kept coming, and the Mongolian army did not invade the Song Realm for the time being, which made Zhao Hong have no previous anxiety, and he was at ease for the New Year, preparing to go out after the spring.

Sometimes, if you can let go, let go and let professional people do professional things, which is the right way. She just needs to be in the right place at the right time.

"Your Majesty, since the implementation of the meridian boundary law on Liangzhejiang Road, more than 960 acres of hidden land and more than 120 acres of wasteland have been found, and more than 1,500 million yuan of hidden taxes have been recovered. Good governance, such as the abolition of foot binding and the abolition of shut-in, has yielded great results. Trade at home and abroad is prosperous, all kinds of waste are thriving, and taxes are increased by more than 300 yuan! ”

"Your Majesty, since the anti-corruption law has been implemented in Liangzhejiang Road, more than 250 illegal officials have been investigated and punished, more than 2,000 officials have been punished, and more than 700 yuan of corrupt ink have been confiscated."

Gao Dingzi, the appeasement envoy of Liangzhejiang Road, and Xu Liang, the director of the anti-corruption division of Liangzhejiang Road, stepped forward one after the other.

Zhao Hong nodded slightly, and Gao Dingzi and Xu Liang retreated to the ranks.

"Your Majesty, since the implementation of the new policy in the first year of Xingqing, Jiangnan East Road has paid an additional 6 million yuan in taxes this year. Taiping Tun grain 6 million stone, trade is prosperous, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the government is becoming clearer and clearer, and there are no hungry people on the whole road. Congratulations to Your Majesty! ”

The Jiangnan East Road system made Wang Gang play out of class, solemn and abnormal.

"Good!"

Zhao Hong patted the chair handle lightly, showing appreciation.

Jiangnan East Road, a model of a country, deserves its name.

"Your Majesty, Sichuan has made Cui and Shang, since the implementation of the new policy in Sichuan, this year's tax has increased by 12 million. Hanzhong Tuntian, Lizhou West Road Guancang Tun grain 4 million stone, officialdom has a new look.

Since the implementation of the new policy at the beginning of last year, Jiangnan West Road has paid more than 6 million yuan in taxes this year, and Daye Iron Works has produced more than 40 million catties of high-quality steel, 860 large and small artillery pieces, and more than 130,000 thunderbolts. ”

Xue Ji stood up, held the wat and said, and made a statement for the two feudal officials who did not come to the court.

"Your Majesty, Sichuan has trained troops from all roads, Chengdu Fu Road has trained 50,000 soldiers, Lizhou Camp has trained more than 35,000 soldiers, Lizhou has trained 50,000 soldiers on two roads, and Sichuan has five roads, with more than 135,000 soldiers. Now Chengdu has moved 40,000 elite troops to the Lizhou battalion, which has a total of more than 75,000 soldiers. Now that the Mongolian army on the border is hoarding, the Sichuan envoy Cui He and the Sichuan Commander-in-Chief Fan Zhong are stationed in the Lizhou camp in case of emergency. ”

The military department is still in the book, and follows the bow.

"Good! Cui He and Fan Zhong really didn't disappoint me! Hu Mengyu's high and fixed son Wang Gang are all state officials, and they can be used! ”

Zhao Huan nodded lightly, and his heart was also excited.

135,000 soldiers, Sichuan alone, has become a model of military training in the Great Song Dynasty.

In one year, Hanzhong Tuntian was a great success, and Shukou had 4 million stone of grain, which was enough to cope with a large-scale war. Fan Zhong and Cui He, including Chen Longzhi, who was in charge of Tuntian in Hanzhong, all made great contributions.

Zhao Hong praised the virtuous ministers, and some of the ministers in the palace looked embarrassed, but most of them did not change their faces and were indifferent.

"Over there in Shukou, did Cao Youwen have a fold?"

On the throne, Zhao Hong was keenly aware of everyone's expressions, and the topic changed immediately.

It is no wonder that he pays so much attention to Shukou, the Mongolian army has been under the city of Lingzhou for several months, and he has no idea what the battle situation is. It's a lie to say not to be nervous.

Who knows if Cao Youwan and them can withstand the offensive of the Mongol army?

"Your Majesty, Cao You heard that the Tatar army had captured many cities on Lintaofu Road and Fengxiang Road in the Jin Kingdom. My Lizhou West Road is already in the clear field of the strong wall, and the border army of the Great Song Dynasty is waiting for the attack. ”

The military department Shangshu Xuanxuan played again.

Zhao Hong nodded, but his brows never expanded.

Cao Youwen was calm and methodical, and the style of a general was fully displayed, and there were Wang Jian, Cheng Xin, and Ma Zhong who were guarding the side guards, and there seemed to be nothing for him to worry about.

But he was still not at ease.

130,000 border troops, defending the city is not a problem, but if it is a decisive battle on the battlefield, can it compete with the 100,000 Mongolian army?

Zhao Hong shook his head secretly, he really didn't have any confidence.

Everything comes down to your own strength.

The strength of the Mongol army has been proven by war. And the strength of the Song army is only on paper. Confidence in war is forged by victories one after another, not by words.

I have done my best, as for the outcome, I can only resign myself to fate.

"In my world, there is never a retreat, only a rampage!"

Unconsciously, Zhao Hong remembered his motto.

In life, what is sometimes lacking is that little bit of courage.

"What is the situation over there in Jinguo?"

Zhao Hong's blood was boiling, and he subconsciously asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, Cao Youwen, the commander of the West Road of Lizhou, said that the Tatar army is like a broken bamboo, and the Jin people are retreating one after another, and they are stubbornly defending the line of Fengxiang Mansion and Jingzhao Mansion and Tongguan, and it is estimated that the Lintaofu Road and the northwest border of Jinxia will be quickly broken by the Mongolian army!"

After Xuan Xuan finished speaking, he handed over the fold.

Zhao Hong opened the recital and watched, silent.

Sure enough, as in history, the Jin people could not stop the Mongolian army, and they lost their divisions. If you want to save Western Xia, you have to be Song people.

Moreover, the Mongol army attacked the Song-Jin border and invaded the Song border, which was only a matter of events.

Zhao Hong's heart couldn't help but pinch again, and the mood of leaving for the northwest immediately became urgent.

"Your Majesty, the Tatar army has attacked the Golden Realm, could it be said that the Tatars have destroyed the Western Xia?"

Xuan Xuan said tentatively.

"No way! With the assistance of 10,000 elites of my Great Song Dynasty, the Tatar army wants to destroy the Western Xia now, it is a fantasy, how ridiculous! ”

Zhao Hong shook his head and said it categorically.

Historically, without the reinforcements of the Song army, the Western Xia also survived to the scorching summer. It's only February, how can it be summerless!

It was only February, and the Mongol army seemed to have attacked the Jin State earlier, and it was very likely that they had returned from Lingzhou City in vain and adopted the tactics of besieging the city.

Zhao Hong analyzed in his heart, and people relaxed a lot.

In the face of the powerful Mongolian cavalry, in the face of Genghis Khan, who used his soldiers like a god, he also became suffering from gains and losses, unable to hold his breath, and it was a little funny to think about.

"Your Majesty, the Tatar army is rampant all over the world, invincible and invincible, and it seems that it is not difficult to destroy Western Xia in a year. It seems unwise for His Majesty to use troops against the Tatars! ”

The official Tang Lin took the opportunity to speak.

"Tang Yushi, do you think that my 10,000 reinforcements from the Great Song Dynasty are paper paste? If Genghis Khan wants to destroy Western Xia, he has to step on the corpses of 10,000 soldiers of my Great Song Dynasty. I'm afraid the Tatar army won't be able to withstand this casualty! ”

Zhao Hong said coldly, even a little annoyed.

These guys, 10,000 Song soldiers are nothing in their eyes, and they don't ask, how can they be justified?

"Your Majesty, the matter of changing the boundaries of the meeting is urgent, and I am afraid it will be put on the agenda."

Hubu Shangshu Zhendexiu hurriedly stood up and said to Zhao Hong, who was pale.

He was originally opposed to the use of troops against the Mongols, but now that the other party is attacking Jinjing, the Song Land will inevitably be poisoned, and he has become hesitant again.

Besides, looking at Zhao Hong's face, if he doesn't stop it, Tang Lin is afraid that he will have to suffer.

"When the war in Shukou is over, the implementation of the new policy on Jiangnan Road, Zhejiang Road, and Sichuan Road is completely smooth, and the treasury is sufficient, and then the border will be changed."

Zhao Hong hesitated for a moment and said.

Huizi changes boundaries every three years, and a new Huizi was originally to be issued in the second year of Xingqing, but it was pushed to the next year.

The old banknotes are withdrawn from the state treasury, and the new banknotes are exchanged for and issued in the market, and in the final analysis, the state treasury must be abundant. When the implementation of these new policies is stabilized, there can be a surplus of 30 or 40 million yuan, and the crisis of depreciation will naturally be greatly weakened.

Changing boundaries requires a stable environment, and now that the Northwest War is on the verge of breaking out, it is not a good time to change borders.

"Your Majesty, now that the implementation of the new policy on Liangzhejiang Road and Sichuan Road in the Great Song Dynasty is quite smooth, it is urgent for the Huizi to change the boundary. I also ask Your Majesty to issue an order to change the boundaries of the meeting to calm down the evils of the people. ”

Liu Bi, the head of the household, was indomitable and also stood up to play.

"When the new policies such as Liangzhejiang Road and Jiangnan West Road are fully implemented, I will consider it. Now is not the right time to do it again! ”

Zhao Hong looked at Liu Bi and said categorically.

This guy has a good character, but he is also one of the ministers of the Lord and the faction who privately prevents him from sending troops. He prides himself on being a clear stream, talks about Huang Lao, does not care about the people's livelihood, and is a minister of the court in vain.

It's better to go back and do your promising retirement career or write a book about it.

Liu Bi was stunned and returned to the class.

Zhen Dexiu was going to insist, but when he saw Zhao Hong's face was not good, he finally couldn't help but say nothing.

The emperor is now in power, and his prestige is more important than the world, so he can delay or rush to change the boundary, and even some inconsequential things, so there is no need to fight with the emperor again.

They are two teachers and students, and the gap is deep enough.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Jiangnan Road, Zhejiang Road, Sichuan Road, the implementation of the new policy is in an orderly manner, and it will be ...... after the summer."

Zhao Hong said a few words, frowned slightly, and stopped speaking.

There seemed to be a noise coming from outside, noisy and noisy, and it seemed that there were quite a few people.

The courtiers discussed a lot, and Zhao Hong's face couldn't help but sink.

"Come and see, what's so noisy?"

When going to court, the noise is too loud and disturbs the court. What do these forbidden soldiers do for food?

Could it be that this was deliberately done by those with ill intentions?

Zhao Hong's gaze swept over the bodies of the ministers in the main hall.

"Your Majesty, there are students and scholars outside the palace gate who are sit-in and petitioning, asking Your Majesty to kill traitors and cancel the use of soldiers."

Soon, the eunuch entered the main hall and bowed to the saint.

"Traitor?"

Zhao Huan's face sank and he sat up straight.

Sure enough, it was really deliberately done by people with ill intentions.

"Tell me clearly, who is the traitor? Who used troops against whom? ”

Zhao Hong knew it, but he didn't move, and asked loudly.

His gaze swept to the ministers in the palace, and the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods who restrained him were probably about to jump out.
