If there is any major incident that has happened in the DPRK and China recently, it must be the fact that the Zuo Division, the Court of Judges, the Ministry of Officials, and the Third Class Yuan have deposed dozens of middle- and lower-level officials in the name of mediocrity.

But what is unbelievable is that this incident was actually investigated by Fan Zhongyan in a very high-profile manner, and the Imperial City Division fully cooperated.

Fan Zhongyan himself personally went to the yamen of various posts to supervise hundreds of officials, and severely punished the phenomenon of lazy government and lazy government, many officials were the first and second in command in their own departments, and they were not active in work at ordinary times, and they were also very lazy in handling government affairs, and Fan Zhongyan found an excuse to be deposed.

This is obviously an act of overstepping his duties, but the Yushitai was all silent, and the two eldest and second eldest of the Yushitai, Cheng Yanshu and Cheng Jia Changchao in the imperial history, accompanied Fan Zhongyan throughout the whole process and helped Fan Zhongyan open the way.

You must know that these two are both Lu Dang, and many of the officials deposed by Fan Zhongyan are also Lu Dang. Let them give Fan Zhongyan a platform, isn't this dismantling their own platform?

As a result, many officials came back to their senses.

Fan Zhongyan is the sworn enemy of the Lu Party, and Lu Xiang will never allow Fan Zhongyan to act so recklessly, not to mention that Fan Zhongyan himself does not have the power to depose officials, and he does not even have any real power position in the ministry, so he is not qualified to do these things.

But he was able to do this, which can only show one thing - Fan Zhongyan has the support of another big man behind him.

Who?

Naturally, it is the emperor of the day.

Except for that official family, who can use the Imperial City Division, and who dares to break ground on Lu Xiang's head?

But after figuring out this section, the Beijing officials were puzzled.

Two days ago, Fan Zhongyan impeached Lu Yijian and was swept to the end, at that time, everyone thought that Lu Yijian's holy family was in Zhenglong, why did the wind of the court change in just two days?

It's going to be too fast.

It didn't take long for smart people to understand why...... His Majesty suppressed Fan Zhongyan on the surface, but in fact, he still played fifty boards each, probably using this reason to weaken the strength of the Lu Party, and Lu Yijian was afraid that he also knew, so he simply pushed the boat down the river and let Yan Shu and Jia Changchao fully cooperate.

For a while, they sighed in their hearts that His Majesty's imperial heart is really unfathomable, even if Lu Yijian has won the emperor's heart so deeply, and accompanied His Majesty all the way from the tribulation, in the end, it is still difficult to escape the fate of liquidation, and the evening scene is somewhat bleak.

However, fortunately, although the Lu Party has suffered a lot of blows, its strength and foundation have not been damaged. Because most of the middle and high-ranking officials of the Lü Party were not disposed of, the high-level power was preserved, and Lü Xiang would not become isolated and helpless in the DPRK because of this, so this result may not be unacceptable to him.

It's just that the only difference is that the original views of the government and the opposition on the relationship between Lu Yijian and Fan Zhongyan soon changed again. It turned out that the officials who had written to impeach Fan Zhongyan had written to impeach Fan Zhongyan suddenly began to change the direction of the wind and began to write to praise Fan Zhongyan.

The officials of the imperial court have always been like this and have no position.

Whoever wins, they help.

On May 3 of the third year of Jing You, Fan Zhongyan, who had been busy all day, sat in a sedan chair, and the early officials of the Northern Song Dynasty still mainly rode horses or carriages. But in the middle of the period, the sedan chair became popular, because the Northern Song Dynasty lacked horses and human resources were abundant, and it was obviously more cost-effective to hire a sedan chair driver.

At this moment, the sedan chair goes out from the Liangmen of the inner city, it is still the afternoon, the market is full of people, all kinds of vehicles are coming and going on the wide road, there are umbrellas outside the shops, signs are hung, and the voices of various accents in the southeast and northwest are all over the market.

Fan Zhongyan sat in a sedan chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.

The Song Dynasty implemented the policy of high salaries and incorruptible salaries, and the monthly salaries of officials were very exaggerated, and an ordinary six- or seven-grade official had several official names such as Jilu officials, loose officials, honored officials, post posts and dispatches, and the sum of the salaries, allowances and subsidies could top the income of ordinary people for a year or even several years in a month.

In addition, the officials of the Song Dynasty also basically did business legally, and there were a lot of shops and fields under their hands.

Therefore, there were indeed few high-level corrupt officials in the Song Dynasty, after all, when converted into later generations, your salary of hundreds of thousands of yuan a month plus the income from the shop and the income of the field property, for the bribe of 500,000 yuan to take risks, the risk and criminal cost are too great, once the corruption is investigated, it is really not worth it.

Therefore, these people who have been investigated and punished basically have no corrupt officials. Only a few were found to have abused their power, and most were deposed for inaction and without political achievements.

The list was also carefully ruled by Fan Zhongyan.

How many party officials are there hundreds? However, most of the officials are officials who have no real power or have unimportant positions, and the significance of these people's existence is not great, and naturally there is no need to be deposed.

The people he abolished were all the Lu Party in important departments such as the 24th Division, the Third Class Yuan, and the Yushitai, and they belonged to the composition of the middle and lower power organs of the Lu Party.

The reduction of these people was a heavy blow to the middle and lower levels of power in Bianliang of the Lu Party.

Therefore, this time it can be said that the party has won a big victory.

But Fan Zhongyan was not complacent about this victory.

Because he understood that the Lü Party could not be regarded as a political party formed around Lü Yijian from beginning to end, but should be regarded as an alliance formed by Lü Yijian and their common interests.

Just like the relationship between Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu, these people may not all bow down to Lu Yijian, but if Fan Zhongyan wants to set off reform, then they will definitely stick with Lu Yijian and resist the development of reform.

Therefore, it is not enough to destroy some middle- and lower-level officials with real power in Lu Yijian's faction, if you really want to be able to carry out reforms without obstacles in the future, none of the people on the list that Zhao Jun said can be spared.

Fan Zhongyan's face was resolute and he thought seriously.

The road to reform.

There's a long way to go.

.....．

.....．

The economy and culture of the Song Dynasty are indeed the pinnacle of dynasties, Ouyang Xiu once said: "The pawn is dressed as a soldier, and the farmer is on silk", but its military weakness is also a fact. ”

"The economy and culture of the Ming Dynasty are not as good as those of the Song Dynasty, but the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies. The last emperor Chongzhen was unwilling to move south until his death, he was no longer incompetent, and for this point, the Ming Dynasty was also the most hardened dynasty since the Han and Tang dynasties. ”

"To be honest, I have always thought that the Song Dynasty was a very malleable era. Although it has many problems, its scientific and technological and industrial and commercial development has reached the peak of the feudal dynasty, and commercial and trade exchanges, cultural development, sufficient labor force, and high productivity are all points that can be studied. ”

"Take, for example, navigation. The navigation technology of the Song Dynasty can be said to be the strongest in the world, through the ocean it can pass through Southeast Asia, Southeast Asia is very suitable for planting rice, two or even three crops a year are easy, attracting domestic displaced people to Southeast Asia to grow food, and then transport it back to China, can not solve the problem of labor and food? ”

"The price of grain has been low, and the blow to the landlord class has been great. In the Song Dynasty, the "non-establishment of the land system and the non-suppression of annexation" made the land legally concentrated in the hands of the landlords, which promoted the intensive management of land and gave rise to a large number of surplus labor. If food is cheap, the labor force will not be willing to plough the land, and the landlord's land will be left uncultivated. ”

"In order to retain labor, landlords have to offer higher wages and better conditions to attract young people to help them farm. This further suppressed the profits of the landlord class, and the life of the people at the bottom would be better. Even if there are such things as unscrupulous landlords and capitalists, the general trend is still stable. ”

"The biggest headache is the lack of pioneering spirit of the Song Dynasty, although our country is known as the Heavenly Empire, rich in products. But in fact, the precious metals needed in ancient times, gold, silver and copper were still very scarce, and the birth of Jiaozi was because of the economic prosperity and the insufficient number of coins, so paper money transactions began to appear. ”

"However, Jiaozi is only something that can be issued by large quantities of goods and particularly reputable trading houses, and for the people, copper coins must be more valuable. Therefore, if we want to make the economy more prosperous, we should actively explore and occupy more places. ”

"For example, Japan is rich in silver mines, and there is a Iwami silver mine in that place, which in the 17th century accounted for one-third of the world's silver production. There are also many copper and gold mines, and if Japan is occupied and a large number of immigrants are immigrated, they will definitely be richer. ”

"There are also India and Southeast Asia, which are obviously close, ship shipping is also developed, more immigrants, expand the Maritime Silk Road, and make Southeast Asia the back garden of the Great Song Dynasty, and the economic and agricultural level can naturally go to a higher level."

"It's just that the military aspect is a bit of a headache, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty has too much control over the military power, and the soldiers don't know the generals and the generals, and it's probably very difficult to improve this problem."

"Maybe the only way to start is with weapons, such as firearms. Didn't the Song Dynasty invent the prototype assault rifle of the musket? They were also the world's largest producer of steel at the time, and if they had musket technology, they would have been able to deal with nomads by hand-crafting guns, ammunition and artillery. ”

"Of course, I'm all talking nonsense. After all, I am only a history student, and I was not born in the Song Dynasty, so I can only learn about their real situation and specific development level through history books, and I am not very clear. ”

"So Uncle Lari, if you want to hear how strong the Song Dynasty should be and how it should develop, I'll talk nonsense, just talk about it, and just listen to it."

Zhao Jun sat on the edge of the bed, with one foot on the bed, one foot on the ground, holding a plate of rice in his hand, foaming at the mouth, and talking eloquently.

Today, Yan Shu came to ask again, how to make the Great Song Dynasty develop and grow.

Although it is very strange for this question, because they are now in New China, and not in the Great Song Dynasty, it seems that it makes little sense to ask how the Great Song Dynasty should grow?

But anyway, if he is idle, he will be idle, so he will talk nonsense, regardless of whether the things he proposes are reliable or not, and talk about it. After all, he is not really in the Song Dynasty, and he is in New China, can he still affect the Great Song Dynasty thousands of years ago?

Yan Shu recorded all the things he said one by one, Zhao Zhen and they were not here today, and the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty could not stay in the back garden every day, so he was very needed to record and report to Zhao Zhen.

Speaking of which, Zhao Jun has been in Da Song for more than ten days, and the injuries on his body have improved a lot, and now he can get out of bed and walk around.

It's just that Zhao Jun definitely didn't expect that he was really in the Great Song Dynasty now, and because of his appearance, the history of the Great Song Dynasty had already shifted for a short time.

In May of the third year of Jing You, the middle and lower echelons of the Lu Party were dealt a heavy blow. Although Fan Zhongyan was demoted, he was not transferred out of Bianliang.

Even on the recommendation of Fan Zhongyan, another pioneer of the reformists was transferred back to Beijing.

Jiangzhou Tongju Fu Bi, that is, Yan Shu's son-in-law, was appointed as the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, and became one of the Taiwan officials in the Zhiyuan Yuan, replacing the previously deposed Lu Dang.

Obviously.

With the indirect help of Zhao Jun, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty has made up his mind to support the Qingli New Deal to the end, and is currently starting to lay out in advance, promoting reformist officials, and paving the way for the future New Deal.

Even though they knew that they would harm their own interests, they had no choice but to make concessions and keep silent for the sake of national interests.

Zhao Jun has only been here for more than ten days, but he has already begun to change the political scene of the Great Song Dynasty invisibly.
