Chapter 148: Western Xia is coming
……………………
After Gao Gongjie succeeded as the commander of Xiangfu County, he did not stop checking the acres of land, and came directly to Cao's house to ask for an inventory of Cao's hidden fields.
"What does the Gao family want?" Cao Hui said with an embarrassed face.
The Gao family and the Cao family have always been in-laws, and the Empress Dowager Gao is the niece of the Cao family, and the two families have also married many times.
Now that Gao Gongjie is checking the Cao family's acres, he is taking revenge on the Cao family for supporting Zhao Xu's pro-government, and is used by Zhao Xu to deliberately target the Cao family.
Gao Gongjie arched his hand and said: "Lord Cao misunderstood the Gao family, Gao's move was done by himself, and there was no intention to target the Cao family." ”
"You've already obtained the position of Xiangfu County Order, why don't you stop when it's time." Cao Hui asked rhetorically.
Gao Gongjie smiled bitterly: "It is Gao who has obtained the position of Xiangfu County Order, and the more he can't repeat the mistakes of the previous county order, the hidden field of Xiangfu County will not be clarified for a day, and Gao's position will be unstable for a day." ”
Gao Gongjie knew in his heart that he could use the method of making up for it at the time to get the Xiangfu County Order, and once he shielded the Cao family, the other officials who made up for it at the time would pounce like a pack of wolves.
Cao Hui was shocked in his heart, and immediately understood the horror of making up for it in time, this was simply a dead knot, and no one dared to use their future to help them hide in the field.
"And it is not without benefit for Gao to check the hidden fields of the Cao family, as far as I know, the Cao family has several unjust land properties, and I ask Lord Cao to remedy it as soon as possible, otherwise Gao can only act impartially." Gao Gongjie warned.
Cao Hui was suddenly struck by lightning, with his means and connections, he was naturally not afraid of a side branch of the Gao family, but he knew that even if he brought down Gao Gongjie, there were still countless officials waiting for the alternate who wanted to use this to invite credit, and the Cao family's hidden field would be kept no matter what.
With the cooperation of the Cao family, all the hidden fields in Xiangfu County were clarified, and the land property per mu increased by as much as 20% out of thin air, and the taxes borne by each mu of land were greatly reduced, and the rich households were greatly satisfied.
At the same time, a number of alternate officials have made great gains in Kaifeng counties, and a large number of hidden fields have been inventoried.
In particular, the brothers of the Xiang family are even more eager to seek officials, relying on their status as uncles, and being tough and noble, so that the county orders of Lankao and Qixian County occurred, and successfully waited for the position of their county commanders.
All of a sudden, the counties of Kaifeng Prefecture completely changed, the fourteen county orders were directly changed by half, all the hidden fields were found out one by one, and the service was smoothly implemented into the mu.
"It's time to make up for it!"
The officials of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but gasp, since ancient times, the most difficult place to change the law is the protection of officials and officials.
However, it is time to make up for it, so that officials are suspicious of each other, especially the redundancy of officials in the Great Song Dynasty, in order to get the official position, the alternate officials of the Great Song Dynasty naturally do not care about any officialdom rules, and the incumbent officials naturally dare not bend the law for personal gain in order to keep their positions.
There is no solution to this strategy!
………………
In front of the arched temple! Hundreds of officials gathered.
Kaifeng Mansion's stall service into the mu is progressing smoothly, and Zhao Xu can't wait for the big court meeting,
"Humph!"
A noble man passed by Fan Zheng and glared angrily.
"Fan Taicheng is a good means!"
Cao Hui looked at Fan Zheng with a complicated look in his eyes.
Fan Zhengzhang was at a loss, he didn't know how to offend these nobles, and now one by one he has a nose that is not a nose, and his eyes are not eyes.
Wang Di on the side smiled and said: "You are still pretending to be stupid, the official family's immediate prescription is not from you." ”
Fan Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and said in shock: "How do you know? ”
Wang Di rolled his eyes and said, "If you ask which court official doesn't know, the strategies you offer are very ............ Particularly! ”
Wang Di thought about it, and finally used a special description to describe it, everyone in the world knows that Fan Zheng loves to open evil prescriptions, and now although he claims to change the evil and return to the right, most of the strategies offered are also good and evil, and the time to make up is even more evil, except for Fan Zheng, I am afraid that he will not be the second choice.
Fan Zheng asked the sky speechlessly, he had already hidden his merits and fame, but he didn't expect to be betrayed by the evil party.
"Qiqi official family, Kaifeng Mansion, the stall into the mu won the hearts of the people, everyone supported, it is indeed a good policy, Weichen implorements that this good recipe will be promoted to the ten roads, in order to revitalize the Great Song Dynasty." In the vertical arch hall, Zhang Duan couldn't wait.
The implementation of the apportionment of labor into mu in Kaifeng Prefecture has been a great success, and the New Party will naturally not miss this opportunity and is ready to expand the scope of the pilot project of apportioning into mu.
"The ministers agree."
There was no opposition from the hundreds of officials in the court, and the success of the apportionment into the mu was also unexpected by the hundred officials, and the officials with insight naturally saw the benefits, and the support rate of the court increased greatly.
Lu Dafang sighed in his heart, knowing that as soon as the apportionment was put into the mu and out, the momentum of the new party would soar, and it was probably imperative to change the law.
Zhao Xu looked at the situation in the Manchu Dynasty, and suddenly became full of spirit, ready to show his skills and show the revenge in his heart.
"Report, eight hundred miles northwest of the urgency!" Suddenly, a dusty messenger rushed all the way into the vertical arch hall.
Huo Ran, a hundred officials of the Manchu Dynasty, was shocked, and the only thing that could be rushed with eight hundred miles was the emergency military situation, and the ministers couldn't help but look at the northwest with worry. ”
Zeng Bu stepped forward to take the secret report, and his face changed: "Qiqi official, the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang of Western Xia learned that the Great Song Dynasty refused to cede land and New Year's coins, she was annoyed and angry, and sent 500,000 soldiers from the country to attack!" ”
"Send 500,000 troops!"
The hundred officials of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but gasp, the Western Xia soldiers were strong and strong, and they sent 500,000 troops to attack, and they would not give up until they reached their goal.
"Qi Qi officials, what the Western Xia wants is nothing more than some wealth, the two countries are at war, not to mention countless casualties, countless money and food, compared with the cost of soldiers, less than one percent, please think twice." Lu Dafang Lord and Dao.
"Please think twice!" A number of old party and neutralist officials asked for orders to restart the New Year coins in order to negotiate peace with Western Xia.
Zhao Xu's face was embarrassed, he didn't cut the land, he didn't have a year's coin, it was the foundation of his pro-government, if he promised the year's money at this moment, wouldn't it be a slap in the face.
"Impossible, there is no need to mention the New Year's coins, transporting the New Year's coins is a policy to destroy the country, and I will never agree." Zhao Xu said resolutely.
"The official family is wise, and the Western Xia claims to have an army of 500,000, but in fact it is bluffing, and its soldiers do not exceed 300,000 at most." The privy envoy Zeng Bu expressed his support.
The hundred officials frowned, for them, there was no difference between 500,000 soldiers and 300,000 soldiers, but they were against any war.
"However, if it weren't for the fact that you and others abandoned the rice fat four villages that were defeated during the Shenzong period, why would the official family have to face the passive situation now." Zhang Dun rebuked angrily. During the Shenzong period, the Great Song Dynasty adopted an open-border strategy for the Western Xia, and established the Mizhi Four Villages to contain the Western Xia, but after the death of Shenzong, the old party came to power and directly returned the Mizhi Four Villages to the Western Xia, so that the Great Song Dynasty lost its strategic advantage.
Lu Dafang argued: "If it weren't for the defeat of the original battle and the capture of countless soldiers and civilians, why would we have exchanged the four villages of rice for the captured soldiers and civilians." ”
Zhang Dian sneered: "Then Xixia got the rice fat four villages, and he committed crimes year after year. ”
The faces of the old party were embarrassed, and the Great Song Dynasty gave up the rice fat Sizhai in exchange for the defeated and captured people during the Shenzong period, but the Western Xia had just won the Sizhai and continued to attack the Great Song Dynasty the following year.
Fan Zheng couldn't help but twitch his face, the Fan family could have the figure of the Fan family in exchange for the military and civilians in exchange for rice fat Sizhai back then, and the second uncle and father were all in favor.
Zhao Xu looked around and said in a deep voice: "Since the return of Mizhi Sizhai can't make Song Xia peaceful, and the transportation of New Year's coins can't make Song Xia peaceful, then there is only one battle between Song and Xia, and the army will be sent to this battle!" The Great Song Dynasty promoted peace with war. ”
