Yan Tiesi's behavior was very wrong, but Zhao Jun did not immediately attack them, but gave them another chance.

If he is a relatively murderous founding emperor, or if he succeeds in rebellion and gets the authority of the Great Song Dynasty, then for such a situation, he can naturally act recklessly, say recall and recall, or even kill when he says kill.

But now that he doesn't like the Great Song Dynasty, he finally ushered in a compromise between the emperor and some of the scholars, and he is willing to make concessions, so naturally he has to give them a little thin noodles.

In fact, the main reason is that the situation is different, the authority of the founding emperor is very heavy, even if he kills the scholar class, the entire scholar can only prostrate at his feet.

Now in the pre-dynastic middle period, the institutions of power are becoming more and more fixed, and many unspoken rules of conformism have been born, which are not easy to break and may attract the opposition of the entire bureaucratic and scholarly class.

Although Zhao Jun is not afraid of such a situation, many things must be done on the surface. If you don't give each other a chance at all, it will seem too ruthless.

This is not very beneficial for a person at the top who wants to reform, and it will make the lower echelons fearful, which will affect the progress of the reform.

So it's important to have clear rewards and punishments.

It is necessary to establish an image of an absolutely fair superior, and you can be forgiven for making a mistake for the first time.

But the second time, or even the third time, gives you a chance, and if it's still like this, then there is a reason to do it, and it's not easy for others to say anything.

To put it simply, it is necessary to pay attention to the righteousness of the name, otherwise it will not be able to convince the public.

The order went down, and everything was sent back to the Salt and Iron Division, but Zhao Jun didn't care, but ordered someone to go to the Du Branch Division in charge of Xia Zhu, and ordered Xia Zhu to hand over the data of the Du Branch Division before tomorrow.

At noon, Zhao Jun, who had been busy all morning, left the Constitutional Yuan, came all the way to the Privy Council, and entered the hall, and officials at all levels along the way saw him saluting.

He nodded slightly, and came to meet the privy deputy envoy Wang Deyong, Wang Deyong was a little more respectful, and arched his hand: "I've seen the prefect!" ”

"Deputy Envoy Wang."

For this soldier, Zhao Jun, a general who served as a privy deputy envoy with military merits like Di Qing, still respected it very much, bowed back, looked left and right, and saw that there was no one around, so he said casually: "Western Xia has been provoking all year round, and there may be war, you have to be prepared." ”

Wang Deyong was stunned at the time, and hurriedly asked: "Governor, aren't you planning to send the old man to the northwest?" ”

"Hmm."

Zhao Jun nodded and said: "I will also give you a thorough understanding, Zhao Yuanhao's matter of founding the country is noisy, and he himself has informed me many times that the Great Song Dynasty cannot tolerate it, and as soon as the war starts, I will ask the old general." ”

Wang Deyong was overjoyed, with an excited expression on his face, but he kept clenching his fists, and he was so emotional that he couldn't speak.

In fact, in recent years, many people in the Great Song Dynasty have known that there may be a war in the northwest.

As I said before, Li Yuanhao made a lot of preparations before the founding of the country, such as informing the Great Song Dynasty many times that he wanted to build the country.

And attacked the surrounding Uighurs, Tibet, Zhuqiang, married with the Liao State, and imitated the Song Dynasty to establish a political and military system, the establishment of Western Xia writing, clothing, etiquette and music, Xingzhou was promoted to Xingqing Mansion, Dingdu City and so on.

even continued to provoke, plunder, fight grass valleys, and send undercover agents on the northwest border of the Song Dynasty, testing the bottom line of the Song Dynasty step by step, and finding out the attitude of the Song Dynasty.

In this case, there was no lack of voices within the Great Song Dynasty to send troops to Western Xia, but Zhao Zhen and other scholars were more cowardly, until Li Yuanhao found out that the Great Song Dynasty was a paper tiger and decided to formally establish the country, they were only verbally condemned.

This also caused Li Yuanhao to feel that the Great Song Dynasty was weak and could be bullied, and not long after the founding of the country, he launched three campaigns, defeated the Song Dynasty in succession, established his authority in the first battle of the Western Xia Empire, and then defeated the Liao State, thus beginning the Three Kingdoms.

So many people know that the fight with Lee Won-ho is inevitable.

Wang Deyong naturally knew this, so he asked Zhao Zhen to go to the northwest to guard against Western Xia.

It is a pity that in the Song Dynasty, whether it was an emperor or a scholar, the defense of the military was much more severe than the defense of the Western Xia Liao, so in the face of Wang Deyong's request, he did not agree at all.

In the end, the old man died with regret, and like Di Qing, he was full of grievances.

Now that Di Qing has not grown up, although the Northwest War has appointed Fan Zhongyan as the commander, there must be a general under the commander, and Wang Deyong is obviously a good general.

Although he tried to make as few promises to others as possible before the matter was decided, he was different from Zhao Zhen, how could there be a general who abandoned it?

So since I happened to see the old man today, I would mention it to him by the way, it was also to let Wang De study the situation in the northwest as soon as possible, and find an opportunity to break the enemy in the battle with Western Xia.

Seeing that the old man was speechless with excitement, Zhao Jun looked left and right, and there was still no one around, so he whispered to him: "The deputy envoy can go to Fan Zhongyan, I am going to let Fan Zhongyan take charge of the northwest in the coming year, and I will send you to partner at that time, and the two of you will first find out the situation in the northwest and then make plans." ”

"Yes, yes, thank you."

Wang Deyong's face was full of joy with excitement, he was the same as the clay sculpture in the Privy Council, the literati disliked him for being rude, and they were unwilling to deal with him, and now the newly appointed Governor of the Constitutional Yuan appreciated him so much, which made him very moved.

The most important thing is that the warriors of the Song Dynasty were too aggrieved, with Wang Deyong in front and Di Qing and Yue Fei in the back. The old man fought all his life in the first half of his life, and he could still follow him in the second half of his life, but the emperor and the scholars were afraid of his high prestige in the army, and did not dare to let him go to the front, which is really regrettable.

Now it seems that he can achieve his long-cherished wish, which makes the old man inexplicably excited.

Zhao Jun told again: "Don't tell others about this matter, Zhao Yuanhao has a fine work in Bianliang, you know it, even if you go to Fan Zhongyan, just tell him that I sent you, he will naturally know and will tell you some information." ”

"Yes, yes."

Wang Deyong nodded again and again.

"Hmm."

Zhao Jun arched his hand and said, "I have some other things, and I will ask the deputy envoy for the rest." ”

"Congratulations to the Governor."

The old man's attitude became more and more respectful.

Although he actually knows very well in his heart that Zhao Jun's promise may not be fulfilled.

After all, if he is really going to be sent to the northwest, the scholars and doctors who are afraid of him will definitely not let go of the opportunity, and I am afraid that the impeachment will become more and more every day.

Just like in the past two years, someone has even said that he has a rebellious appearance because of his strange appearance, and impeaching him may be a rebellion.

He is not surprised that the scholars and doctors have done any outrageous and strange things in order to suppress the martial artists.

But there is hope, which is much better than being in despair for many years.

Zhao Jun and Wang Deyong separated, passed through the vestibule of the Privy Council, and went all the way to the court of Li Advisor, who was also a member of the Privy Council.

Unlike the government hall and the chief officials of the political system who work in the same hall, they are the prime ministers who need to discuss and hold meetings together, so there is no separate courtyard.

However, the Privy Council is more symbolic, it has no military power, and its main affairs are also military logistics, so the chief officers are relatively idle.

Otherwise, Li Consultancy, a fellow privy councillor in charge of the military, would not have been sent to carry out the reform of the tea law.

When Zhao Jun stepped into Li's residence, he was chatting with an official.

Seeing Zhao Jun coming in, the two hurriedly got up and said, "Zhiyuan." ”

"Hmm."

Zhao Jun said: "Li Xiang, I came to you for something. ”

"You go first."

Li Tan waved his hand and motioned for the official to leave first.

The official bowed his hands to Li Tan and Zhao Jun respectively, and then retreated.

After he left, Li Zheng covered his mouth and coughed twice: "Please sit down in the prefectural hospital, someone is coming." ”

The attendant outside the door came in.

"Make tea."

He commanded, and coughed twice.

In fact, just before entering the door, Zhao Jun heard a cough, and when he saw Li Zheng's pale face, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Li Xiang, how is your health?" ”

"It's an old problem, the official family has let the imperial doctor see it, and I'm afraid I won't live for two years because of my long-term work."

Li Jian sighed.

He has been feeling unwell recently, and occasionally even coughs up blood, and the doctor has seen it and has been taking medicine, but it is not good.

Zhao Jun thought for a moment and asked, "Are there any symptoms?" ”

"Coughing all the time."

Li Yan covered his mouth and said, "The imperial doctor said it was a lung disease. ”

"That's right."

Zhao Jun summoned his attendants and asked him to go to the Imperial City Division to deliver a message and bring two amoxicillin.

Amoxicillin is not a panacea, and if Li Zheng has cancer, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and other non-bacterial infections, there is nothing he can do.

However, if it is only a lung infection, such as pneumonia, bronchitis, typhoid, respiratory infections and the like, there is still salvation.

The main reason is that he brings all common medicines, not even aspirin, and naturally there is no way to do it for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Taking advantage of the efforts of people to take medicine, Zhao Jun sat on the chair next to Li Zheng's head.

This is Li Zheng's official residence, and it is impossible for him to dominate the guests.

After he sat down, Li Qian asked, "What is the matter with the prefect looking for me?" ”

"It's about the tea law and some opinions on selling."

Zhao Jun said: "Nowadays, tea and salt are all government-run, but the government-run is corrupt, and the quality of tea and salt produced is low, and the people are more willing to find private tea and salt vendors to buy, which is extremely unfavorable to the government." ”

"Hmm."

Li Zheng coughed twice, and then said: "I have also discussed this matter with the official family, intending to reform the unfavorable situation of government-run tea, and even found a big tea merchant to conspire with him to make a price for business shares." But the old man's body is getting worse day by day. ”

The big tea merchant he said was Tian Chang, and there was no need for Zhao Jun to say anything about the reform of the official camp, and there was already a voice in the court.

For example, Ouyang Xiu wrote last year about the harm of official sales, and later after the efforts of some courtiers, Zhao Zhen ordered the reform of the official camp, so he asked Ouyang Xiu to write the "Edict on the Law on Trade and Tea", and lifted the monopoly of tea with an official decree and implemented trade.

It is a pity that this "Edict on Trade and Tea" harmed the interests of a large number of wealthy businessmen, who colluded with some officials to fiercely oppose it. In the end, there was more opposition inside and outside the imperial court, and even Ouyang Xiu and Liu Chang, who drafted the edict on trade and tea, also went up to the court and put forward the theory that trade has one benefit and five harms, so that the trade and tea law was abolished by the court.

As the pivotal minister of the reform of the tea law, Li Zheng naturally also knows the harm of selling and wants to carry out reforms. It's a pity that his health is not very good, and he has already agreed with Na Tian Chang that he will build a state-owned enterprise with him in the future, but because his health is not good, he has not carried it out, which is a pity.

Zhao Jun saw that he was sick, and said with concern: "Li Xiang still has to pay more attention to his body, I have already asked people to bring the medicine over, and Li Xiang will take it later." This medicine has a miraculous effect on some diseases, and it is estimated that one or two pills can be cured, but if it is other diseases, it will not be cured. ”

"Huh."

Li Jian smiled and said: "The old man is close to the age of Shun, he can see life and death, and he can serve the court, so it doesn't hurt if this old bone is dead." ”

"The body is the capital of the revolution, and if Li Xiang wants to make more contributions to the imperial court, he should pay more attention to the body."

Zhao Jun thought for a while and said, "In this way, in the future, Li Xiang will not have to go to the morning court every day, and he will not need to come to the Privy Council to be on duty." I will ask the official family to let Li Xiang recuperate at home for the time being, and if the medicine is useful, I will send someone to deliver the medicine. ”

He originally wanted to come to Li Zheng to talk about tea, salt and grain reform, but now that he saw Li Zheng's body, he remembered that he died of illness not long after in history, so he temporarily extinguished his mind.

After all, the other party is sick like this, and it is too unkind to discuss state affairs with others.

No matter what you do, physical health is the first thing, make more money and earn less, how things are done, as long as people are there, there is still hope.

Hearing Zhao Jun's words, Li Jian was not as moved as Wang Deyong, his body knew that he might not live for a few years, and he could see a lot, so he said: "There is Lao Zhiyuan's concern, the matter of the reform of the tea law was originally proposed by the Zhiyuan, if the Zhiyuan wants to implement it, I can recommend the tea merchant on my behalf." ”

"Hmm."

Zhao Jun nodded and said: "These days, Li Xiangxian is resting at home, and in his spare time, he can think about the disadvantages of selling tea, salt, and grain. Nowadays, inside and outside the government, the system is rigid and cannot be changed, so that all kinds of systems harm the interests of the court and the people, and I hope to change this situation, and I am a right-hand man like Li Xiang. ”

"The old man is very happy to know that the hospital appreciates it."

Li Jian said something about the scene, and his attitude towards this sudden appearance of the Governor of the Constitutional Yuan was neither stammering nor disgusted.

The main thing is that many of the things that Zhao Jun proposed before are his appetite.

The tea method and Jiaozi shop are all tinkered with by Zhao Jun, especially the partnership with private tea merchants, which is something he has always wanted to do because he felt that there were many problems in the government-run system.

Now with Zhao Jun's support, it is much better.

The two chatted for a while, and at this time, the person from the Imperial City Division Bingjing brought the medicine.

Now Zhao Jun's medicine is stored in the ice cave, with one less pill, originally Zhao Zhen also wanted to give Li Zheng medicine, but no one knew what disease Li Zheng had, so he didn't dare to use the medicine indiscriminately.

Although Zhao Jun is not a doctor, he has been a doctor for a long time, and he feels that Li Zheng's symptoms may be similar to typhoid fever and lung disease, so he will try it first, what if it has an effect?

Li Zheng was very surprised to see that the two pills had a unique shape, and he didn't know what the shell was made of, and they were as thin as cicada wings.

Zhao Jun took the medicine and said: "This medicine can treat common lung diseases, Li Xiang has never taken this medicine before, there should be no drug resistance, take one today, and take another one tomorrow, if the effect is fast and the effect is good, but if there are still symptoms, just take another one the day after tomorrow." ”

"Xie Zhiyuan."

Li Jian did not refuse, he really coughed uncomfortably every day, and it was better to take medicine than to take no medicine.

Immediately he ate a grain of tea.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, or if it works quickly, his face is actually slightly flushed, and he doesn't cough anymore, which makes him amazed.

Seeing that Li Zheng had taken the medicine, Zhao Jun didn't bother much, hoping that the other party's health would get better soon.

At present, the entire scholarly class is more hostile to him, and there are very few people like Li Jian who are capable and not hostile to him, and he does not want no one to help him in the future when he is reforming.

I didn't continue to bother at the moment, and said goodbye and left.

This chapter was actually not inspired by feelings, but was originally intended to be written, saving Li Zheng's life, and then preparing to reform the tea, salt, iron and grain systems, just in time.

I don't know him in July, but I am full of sadness and regret about his death.

Because writing online articles is like this, I am riddled with diseases of all sizes and feel the same way.

The main character in the book brings so many medicines, and I am so familiar with these medicines, which is my own experience. Before I wrote the online article, I was in good health, but after I wrote the online article, all kinds of diseases came.

After all, sitting in front of the computer every day, I don't dare to go to the hospital if I don't exercise, I have to write every day, 360 days a year, I am afraid of breaking off, exchanging my body and youth for money, and I can't stand it.

Recently, the sky has changed again, I myself have been dizzy in the past two days, the state is not very good, the right index finger is also very painful, I can only say that I hope everyone pays attention to the body, should rest or rest more, if you feel uncomfortable, you must go to the hospital to see. As for those of us who write online articles, we really can't help it, I hope God will take care of us and have fewer diseases.

I wish you all good health, don't work hard, and all the best.
