After discussing the pilot promotion of cotton planting in Lingnan, Hainan and other places, we continued to deal with today's government affairs.

At present, the overall reform of the Great Song Dynasty has not been carried out, but because Zhao Jun intends to carry out a certain range of official reform next year, there are still a lot of changes in the officialdom at present.

First of all, there are some new departments, and secondly, there are rumors in the officialdom that some departments will be reorganized in groups next year.

In terms of the new departments, several departments, such as the Statistics Division, the Firearms Division, the Creation Bureau, the Jiaozi Department, and the Geology Department, have been almost organized, and in particular, the Statistics Department and the Firearms Department have all been put into operation.

According to Zhao Jun's original intention, the Creation Bureau actually hopes to become a scientific research institute that gathers talents from all walks of life to carry out scientific research and development.

However, at present, it is still relatively difficult, and it is estimated that it will take hundreds of years before it can become an academy of sciences.

Now the right to be the IP office.

Newspapers have published news in various parts of Bianliang to encourage invention and creation, and as long as the invention and creation are favorable, then they can be rewarded by the Creation Bureau.

For a time, the inventors of the Great Song Dynasty were moved by the wind and began to invent and create activities.

After the advent of high-purity gunpowder, the Firearms Division began to use the new gunpowder in the original invention of firearms, and the power increased exponentially.

Prime Minister Lu Yijian and other prime ministers also inspected the Firearms Department and expressed great satisfaction with the tremendous power caused by gunpowder, and batches of grenades were being manufactured.

The Ministry of Geology has also been formed, and hundreds of officials have set up the left and right two Cao six cases.

Zuo Cao is mainly responsible for geological exploration, data storage cases, mineral exploration cases and ore research cases. Right Cao is responsible for environmental protection, mainly hydrogeology, engineering geology and environmental geology.

In fact, during the time of Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi, environmental protection was carried out in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, planting trees to slow down the flooding of the Yellow River.

Therefore, whether it is ancient or modern, environmental protection is very necessary.

Especially when the three easy to return to the river.

The main task of the Ministry of Geology is to investigate the situation of the Yellow River along the river, while continuing the policy of Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi to plant trees in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and at the same time investigating the possibility of flooding in the lower reaches.

This is to prepare for the management of the Yellow River in order to avoid the diversion of the Yellow River 12 years later.

In addition, the Geological Bureau has also begun to organize a fleet and personnel, and the plan to go to sea to find the Americas has entered the preparatory stage, and it is expected to be able to set off in two or three years.

Needless to say, the Jiaozi Department will probably start to promote the Jiaozi business in major commercial cities across the country from next year.

After all, now only Bianliang and Chengdu are laid, and the money that can be leveraged is still too little.

If Jiaozipu is opened in all commercial cities in the country, it may not be long before the deposit in Jiaozipu may exceed tens of millions.

As long as Japan's silver can flow into the country, with silver as an anchor, it is possible that in the future, Jiaozipu will be fully open to the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is impossible to say whether the deposit can become hundreds of millions or even billions or tens of billions.

The formation of the new department naturally attracted the attention of officials in the court, but there was rarely no opposition.

Because it's not self-interested.

In fact, so far, Zhao Jun has not caused a situation where more than ninety percent of the officials in the entire court oppose him like Fan Zhongyan Qingli's new policy.

The reason is that he has not touched the core interests of those officials, that is, the possibility that officials will be eliminated or dismissed.

Qingli's new policy is mainly aimed at the rule of officials, and those who enter the door will be strictly required, and they will be eliminated if they do not do well.

That's why they will do everything they can to prevent Qingli from promoting the new policy.

And what Zhao Jun did could only be regarded as touching the interests of some officials, such as the establishment of the Imperial City Division, which touched the power of Dali Temple, Kaifeng Mansion and the Criminal Department.

When he took office in the Constitutional Yuan, he could only say that the procedures were not very compliant and he was impeached by the imperial historians, but it did not make the officials feel any threat.

Not everyone is a corrupt official, and not everyone will inexplicably blindly make enemies without being threatened, including Liu Yuanyu's hostility to Zhao Jun, and Zhao Yunrang's temptation of Zhao Jun, all of which have their own reasons.

For example, Liu Yuanyu was afraid of being found out by the Imperial City Division because he had done something illegal. Zhao Yunrang felt that Zhao Jun's surname was Zhao, and he was in an important position in the Constitutional Yuan, so he was worried that it would affect his son's status.

The rest of the people are not so stupid as to jump out and make themselves uncomfortable when the emperor and the prime minister support one person at the same time, that is really unnecessary.

However, the officialdom reform may have some impact on them, so there are a lot of voices of discussion in the Celestial Court these days. It's just that at present, it is only a rumor, and the actual restructuring has not been carried out, so it has not caused too many waves.

In the afternoon, after eating the Chinese food sent by the imperial dining room in the Constitutional Yuan, Zhao Jun went to the back garden to teach the children as usual, and in the afternoon, everyone gathered again in the Guanjia Hall to start today's lesson.

Since it is about to enter November, it is almost December according to the solar calendar, and the weather is getting colder, so everyone is not outside the house, but inside the house.

The Guanjia Hall has long been lit with incense charcoal, which is as warm as spring.

Zhao Zhen sat on the chair with a slightly ruddy face, and said with a spring face: "Everyone, tell you a good news." ”

"Oh?"

Everyone saw Zhao Zhen's face with joy, and Lu Yijian said curiously: "Official, what's the good news?" ”

Zhao Zhen smiled: "The queen and Zhang Meiren are pregnant." ”

The Zhang Meiren in his mouth is not the daughter of Zhang Shouying, the observer of Dengzhou, this Zhang Meiren died of illness in the sixth year of Tiansheng.

is not the later Empress Wen Cheng Zhang, the current Empress Zhang is only 13 years old.

There are a total of four Zhang families in the history of Zhao Zhen's harem, and the rest of the concubines are either not married yet, or they are still very young.

For example, Miao Yufu, who later became Miao Guifei, is only 14 years old now. Yu Yu, later Concubine Yu De, is only 15 years old now. Yang Meiren, later Concubine Yang De, is now 17 years old.

In the entire harem, there is only one 19-year-old Empress Cao who is over 18 years old, and another Zhang Meiren is 21 years old.

This Zhang beauty was later posthumously presented as Concubine Zhang Xian in history, and she was a little older and was not favored by Zhao Zhen.

But because Zhao Jun did not allow Zhao Zhen to attack the underage concubines, he was afraid that the child born would die because the mother was too young, so Zhao Zhen could only talk to Queen Cao and Zhang Meiren Dunlun.

From April this year to September, for five months, Zhao Zhen was abstinent from sex and took Liuwei Dihuang pills and exercised.

Hell knows how these five months came by.

In September, he finally got Zhao Jun's permission and was allowed to sow seeds, and as a result, Empress Cao and Zhang Meiren were successfully pregnant.

This is much luckier than Zhao Fang, the eldest son who was conceived at the same time in history but died in June of the following year because his mother was 15-year-old Concubine Yu Defei.

Hearing the news, everyone was stunned, and then their faces were overjoyed, and they got up as if their wife was pregnant: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty." ”

"Now that the country is not lost, this is a great thing."

"Han Long said before that the mother should not be too young, the queen and the beauty are already about twenty, and the offspring born in the future will also be healthy."

"If the official family can give birth to a dragon son next year, and at the same time I defeat the Western Xia and Liao kingdoms in the north, Your Majesty will be mighty and powerful."

The last sentence was said by Fan Zhongyan, and Zhao Jun was stunned when he heard it.

Unexpectedly, Fan Zhongyan, who is serious and unsmiling on weekdays, still patted his ass one by one, and even didn't forget to brag about himself, which is also awesome.

Zhao Zhenle said: "Yesterday, Zhang Meiren told me that she felt a little like vomiting, and I suspected that she was pregnant, so I asked the doctor to take a look, but I didn't expect the doctor to say that it was really a happy pulse." Although there was no movement on the queen's side, I also sent the imperial doctor to see it, and it was also a happy pulse, which is really a blessing. ”

Zhao Jun poured cold water and said: "Don't be happy too early, you still have to be safe and prepared." Although I don't really want conspiracy theories, if a healthy prince is born next year, who do you think is the biggest threat? ”

"Amount"

Zhao Zhen calmed down all of a sudden, and hesitated: "Da Zongzheng? ”

"Yes."

Zhao Jun said: "Zhao Yunrang sent someone to contact me, probably to test my attitude. Two generations of father and son have been spare tires, and they have been thinking about this throne for the rest of their lives, if your child is born and your hopes are dashed, the devil knows what he can do. ”

Zhao Zhen hesitated: "What's the matter, my emperor is in the palace, so it must be very safe." ”

"I think about it too much, the emperor fell into the water, and he was almost assassinated by the palace maid, and you were almost assassinated in history, I remember that it was the eighth year of Qingli, I forgot who did it, but I have seen this occasionally in the history books before."

Zhao Jun said: "If it weren't for the fact that Empress Cao was calm and calm, and dispatched the palace gate guards to defend and resist, there would be no one at that time, it is not a big mistake to be careful, you must ensure the safety of your heirs!" ”

"Okay."

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said, "If I give birth to a healthy heir, I will hand it over to my eldest grandson to protect me." ”

Zhao Jun: "."

I knew that I didn't remind myself, and I had another daddy's task, which was outrageous.

But when you think about it, it doesn't seem bad.

The next generation of princes is brought up by himself, so he can't call himself Dad?

Although Zhao Zhen's children are still their ancestors, he and Zhao Zhen are also called their own names anyway, and the dad is the dad.

In the future, Zhao Zhen's son will also have to be pressed to the ground and rubbed by himself, so he still does whatever he wants in the Great Song Dynasty, lawless, isn't it beautiful?

"Then again, what are the specific plans for the eldest grandson next year?"

Zhao Zhen turned his head and said: "Now that the New Year is approaching, tomorrow is November, and the New Year is still a month away, the New Year is new, are you planning to do something big?" ”

"Hmm."

Zhao Jun nodded: "From the end of the year to the beginning of next year, the department will be restructured, and after the restructuring is over, I will leave Bianliang and go to the grassroots level." When the time comes, if I encounter any corrupt officials, I will kill them, and you don't blame me. ”

Zhao Zhen: "."

Everyone: "."

Lu Yijian said angrily: "Why do you always have to fight and kill, it's all one life, isn't it good to give a way to live?" ”

"Then it depends on whether these people give the people a way to live."

Zhao Jun said with a calm gaze: "It's not a pity that those people in Kaifeng Mansion will die, and they will all be slaughtered at the end of the year, as a reminder to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, not that they can arbitrarily oppress the people if they become officials." ”

Kaifeng Mansion, and even Dali Temple, Criminal Department, and Yushitai have arrested many officials, and there must be hundreds of people involved in this major case.

From Han Yi at the level of deputy prime minister, to the official affairs of the Jiupin Mansion, those who fall from the horse are dismissed, and those who are imprisoned are imprisoned.

It's been a few months of review.

The crime is almost all tried, and then it is submitted for review, and the Constitutional Yuan will draw a tick, kill those who should be killed, go to jail if they should be imprisoned, and exile who should be exiled, anyway, it is impossible to end it so easily.

In addition to the officials, the underworld and evil elements below will also be killed on a large scale, just like the crackdown in later generations, they will be shot if they are caught, and they must not be given a way to live.

The purpose of this is naturally to deter officialdom and the people, at least to clear the Haiyan River in Bianliang within a few years.

In the future, not only will the officialdom be cleaner, but the public order of the people will also be much better. It is of great benefit to policy implementation, economic growth and other aspects.

"Let's talk about the issue of officialdom restructuring."

Zhao Zhen changed the topic and said: "What is the situation of this officialdom restructuring, will it cause the consequences of the Qingli New Deal?" ”

"No, it won't."

Zhao Jun shook his head: "Qingli's new policy is because it touches the interests of most officials, and the officialdom reform is only to clearly divide their functions and powers, and it is not to remove their officials, did I say that Yuanfeng reform?" ””

"Yuanfeng restructuring?"

Everyone looked at each other, Zhao Jun didn't seem to have said this, only said about the Qingli New Deal, Wang Anshi's reform, and even the later Zhang Juzheng reform, but he didn't say this.

"It may be that it was ignored when Wang Anshi changed the law before, but in fact, the Yuanfeng reform was carried out at the same time as Wang Anshi's reform."

Zhao Jun said.

Zhao Zhen was puzzled: "Is this different from Wang Anshi's change?" ”

"There is a difference, naturally."

Zhao Jun said with a smile: "Wang Anshi's change of law is the national policy of the imperial court and belongs to the national policy. The reform of Yuanfeng is only a reform of the system of officialdom, and the two sides are not in conflict. ”

"Let's talk about it."

The crowd was interested.

Zhao Jun said: "Let's talk about the background of the restructuring first, due to the redundant officials, the Song Dynasty institutions overlapped, there was no fixed staff, no full-time, and there were many redundant institutions and officials who had nothing to do in name; The second is to take up his official position instead of appointing his post, and there is a contradiction and confusion between the name and reality of the official position. It is very common for officials to do not seek their own politics in their positions, and to pass the buck and blame each other, and the official positions are also not worthy of the name, and the advancement between official positions has reached an astonishing 37 levels, and even sometimes there are several higher-level departments in the subordinate departments at the same time, but there is no one who can really manage effectively, so that there is a peculiar phenomenon that subordinates do not know who their superiors are. Therefore, in order to increase administrative efficiency, abolish some redundant personnel and redundant institutions, reduce financial expenditures, and clarify the responsibilities of various post institutions, Song Shenzong carried out the Yuanfeng reform. ”

"Sounds good."

Zhao Zhen asked with interest: "Then did he succeed?" ”

Zhao Jun thought for a while and said, "Brother, do you know what the most difficult task of the Song Dynasty generals is?" ”

"Amount"

Zhao Zhen was confused, where is this, didn't he ask Yuanfeng about the reform? Why did he become a general of the Song Dynasty again?

It's just that he didn't understand what Zhao Jun meant, so he had to say, "What is it?" ”

"The most difficult task for the generals of the Song Dynasty was not to regain the lost territory, but to regain the lost territory before the imperial court sued for peace."

Zhao Junle said: "The officials of the Song Dynasty are the same, their most difficult task is not how to cooperate with the emperor to govern the country well, but how to govern the country well before the emperor intervenes. ”

Zhao Zhen's face was wrong, and he said, "So is this another Da Song joke?" ”

"Yes."

Zhao Jun nodded affirmatively: "Song Shenzong said on the surface that he wanted to reform the official system, but in fact, the essence was to centralize power. The two contents of Yuanfeng's reform are basically to weaken the power of the prime minister and let the emperor directly participate in the government affairs, which has no effect on the following reforms at all, isn't this nonsense? ”

Everyone glanced at each other, and said in their hearts, good guy, Zhao Jun was about to start scolding the emperor of the Song Dynasty again.

I seem to be alive again, a little more comfortable, and I stepped up to restore the two more beasts
