Chapter 188: Emperor Liao's southern tour of Yanmen Pass

The Great Song has changed.

To be precise, since the doctor changed the law, the Great Song Dynasty has changed.

First of all, the most obvious and direct change is the explosion of medical skills, one incurable disease after another, the establishment of hospitals, and the rapid expansion of doctors.

In addition to the great leap of the doctors themselves, the court changes are also full of the shadow of the doctors.

The implementation of the Gyeonggi land into the mu has been extremely successful, and the burden of farmers who have no land and less land has been greatly reduced, and it has been well received by the people! The taxes of Kaifeng Prefecture did not decrease but increased.

When the court decided on the autumn tax, it expanded the service into the mu to ten roads around Kaifeng.

Next year!

At the time of the summer and autumn taxes, the apportionment will be extended to the entire Great Song Dynasty.

At the same time, doctors will work together to promote pesticides in various ways to increase farmland yields, so as to alleviate the dissatisfaction of wealthy households and landlords with the new policy.

Rao is like this, there are still landlords and rich households who are openly and secretly confronting, but under the evil prescription of the officials to make up for it immediately, the apportionment of labor into the mu has been steadily advanced, and the overall situation has been decided.

At the same time, a kind of ware called glass quietly flowed into the Great Song market, and its texture was crystal clear, like crystal, and it was extremely exquisite.

Although the price is expensive, it is naturally very different from that of gemstones.

Moreover, there are various forms of glass products, which immediately aroused the pursuit of wealthy businessmen and wealthy businessmen, and they were proud to have a set of glass products.

As soon as it is listed, it will be snapped up, and it can be said that it is not an exaggeration to make money every day.

Some scheming people coveted the glass products and secretly investigated, but after discovering that this was the official camp, they were suddenly silent.

Glass products sold well and provided a steady stream of money for the imperial treasury, but only a few court officials understood that the so-called glass was nothing more than an accessory to the development of microscopes by doctors.

In addition, the doctor underwrote 5 million treasury bonds, and soon more than half of them were sold, allowing the Great Song Dynasty to temporarily get rid of the financial crisis.

In the foreign war, the battle of Pingxia City completely excited the hearts of the Song people, and the earth-shaking thunder appeared, and the sufficient financial funds made the Great Song Dynasty straighten his waist.

The Great Song Dynasty is getting better, and it has never been better, but all these changes are closely related to the doctors.

"Doctor!"

Chapter Fuzhong!

The backbone of the new party gathers! Zhang Dan's face was solemn.

Once upon a time, when he received Zhao Xu's secret edict and was about to return to the court, he couldn't help but worship passionately, determined to implement a new law, revitalize the Great Song Dynasty, and completely wash away the party's shame.

Now the Great Song Dynasty has indeed changed the law, but it has become a new law that is different from the four.

Everyone else is old wine in new bottles, selling dog meat on sheep's heads, but the new party restarts the law and changes the law, but it is new wine in old bottles.

Whether it is the apportionment of labor into the mu or the national debt, it is all proposed by Fan Zheng, and the original new law in the exemption law and the horse protection law have all become stepping stones for doctors, and even the reluctantly implemented green seedling law is also a castrated version.

"With an annual interest rate of one cent, coupled with strict control of private usury, the role of the green seedling method in accumulating wealth has been greatly reduced." Zeng Bu frowned.

The biggest reason why the new law was reused by Song Shenzong was that it could gather wealth and alleviate the financial crisis of the Great Song Dynasty.

Nowadays, although the castrated version of the seedling method can be profitable, it takes up to ten years to see the effect, coupled with the private usury interest rate cut, the annual interest rate of one cent, the seedling method, does not have much advantage.

The sharp drop in interest rates to the satisfaction of the people is beneficial to the country, but it is extremely unfavorable to the new party, and the new law has lost its role in accumulating wealth, and the role of the new party has naturally been greatly reduced.

In Fan Zheng's evil formula, whether it is the issuance of treasury bonds by the household department or glass products, they are all making money every day and achieving immediate results.

Wang Di smiled bitterly: "What's more, the doctor Yizhuang also often makes trouble, the extremely poor people are people who are in urgent need of green seedling money, but Yizhuang always donates a large amount of grain to the extremely poor people during spring ploughing and autumn ploughing, even if the green seedling money is reduced to one cent of interest, the people are not willing to borrow green seedling money even when they go to the hospital to sell blood." ”

The reason why the Miao method is called the green seedling method is because its original purpose was to lend grain to the penniless poor people, so that they can sow grain with peace of mind, and then repay the grain when the grain is harvested.

After generations of improvements, the seedling method has changed from the initial borrowing of good seeds to official lending.

Anyone who even needs grain is naturally extremely poor, and one of the biggest sources of money for the new law is that the extremely poor people borrow grain.

The reason why Wang Anshi's reform is mixed is because the original intention seems to be excellent, but when he acts, he is extremely rude and does good things badly.

In order to ensure that the money can be recovered on time, the new law forcibly allows the upper and middle households to guarantee the repayment of the loans, and if the extremely poor households cannot repay the loans, then the upper and middle households must repay the loans, so as to ensure the interests of the imperial court.

Now that the Seedlings Law has lowered the interest rate to one cent of interest, and at the same time let the people voluntarily guarantee it, the income is not high, and the Yizhuang will continue to make trouble, and the share of the Seedlings money of the destitute households will be greatly lost, and the income of the Seedlings Law will be even lower.

Zeng Bu on the side nodded and said: "As long as it is a change, as long as it is good for the Great Song Dynasty, it doesn't matter how it changes." ”

"Can today's new law still be called a new law? In my opinion, it's better to call it a medical method! Wang Di said indignantly.

Wang Di's biggest capital is the reputation of Wang An's grandson, and the implementation of the new law is either replaced by Fan Zheng's evil prescription or castrated, which has already changed beyond recognition, which naturally makes Wang Di dissatisfied.

"Who made our new law too controversial back then, although Fan Zheng's recipe is evil, but it has repeatedly worked wonders, just take the use of pesticides in the mu of service, so that the civil controversy is greatly reduced, enough to beat the average tax and exemption law of Fangtian." Cai Bian sighed.

After the new party experienced a defeat, how could it not reflect on the fact that the reason why the new party failed in those years was because the new law was imperfect on the one hand, and because the new party was too eager to achieve results, so that the old party seized the opportunity.

When the new law failed, although the old party counterattacked, the new party itself was also responsible.

Wang Di frowned and said: "The implementation of the Green Seedling Law is full of difficulties, do you know where the source of the donated seeds is in Yijiazhuang?" ”

Yizhuang is only a charitable organization, and its source of money mainly depends on donations, and the sudden emergence of a large number of good seeds in Yizhuang, and the naming of donations to destitute households, is extremely suspicious.

"The Old Party!"

Everyone in the New Party couldn't help frowning.

It is true that there are well-wishers who are willing to donate good seeds to the destitute people, but it is only the old party that has the ability to influence the new party's green and seedling law, and the old party deliberately embarrassed the new party with the help of doctors.

Lu Fu.

"Change!"

Lu Dafang's eyes were solemn.

Since he grew up in the official family, he knew that Zhao Xu, who worshiped the Divine Sect, would definitely be inclined to change the law once he became in power.

At that point, the new party will make a comeback and the old party will be liquidated.

Under the influence of Fan Zheng, the officials no longer fully believed in the new law, but let the old party officials explain the disadvantages of the new law to them, and even openly declared that they would neutralize the government, absorb the advantages of the new law and the old law, and take its essence to eliminate its dross.

This made Lu Dafang see hope, when Zhao Xu promised each other in phase, Lu Dafang took the initiative to give up the Empress Dowager Gao and chose to support Zhao Xu's pro-government, just for the future of the old party.

Fortunately!

Zhao Xu did not break his promise, after the pro-government, although the new party officials were recalled and the new law was reintroduced, the old party and the neutrals were retained, and the new law implemented also changed greatly, and the new party was not dominant.

"Yizhuang once again asked for a donation of good seeds, I don't know what the adults want?" Yushi Yang Wei asked.

Lu Dafang asked: "Have the good seeds donated before been distributed to the extremely poor people?" ”

Yang Wei nodded and said: "The lower officials sent people to keep an eye on it, Yizhuang did donate all the good seeds to the destitute people." ”

Today's Yizhuang has just been created, and Fan Zheng informed Li Qingzhao in advance of the methods to prevent corruption of charitable organizations in later generations, and Yizhuang has set rules from the beginning to greatly reduce corruption.

"Arrange for people to continue to donate good seeds, at least so that the destitute people in Gyeonggi do not have to borrow money from seedlings!" Lu Dafang sneered.

The corners of Yang Wei's mouth twitched: "But in this case, wouldn't the doctor Yizhuang use the contradiction between the new party and the old party as a gun!" The reputation of the doctor has been cheapened. ”

Lu Dafang sneered: "There is only one enemy we are waiting for, and that is the new party, as long as the new party loses its ability to accumulate wealth, it will already cut off its arms, see how he still fights us!." ”

Yang Wei admonished: "Don't be careless, the official family and Fan Zheng are each other's confidants, and over time, they will definitely be the second Wang Anshi." ”

Lu Dafang looked up at the falling autumn leaves, and Zhizhu said: "Don't worry, Fan Zheng is acting too aggressively, and now there are secret agents to report!" Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji has already toured south to the area of Yanmen Pass, and the Silk Road plan carried by Princess Nanyin has not received a response from Emperor Liao, it is obvious that Yelu Hongji is still hesitating, once the Liao State attacks the Song Dynasty, the officials will trust Fan Zheng again, and the ministers above the court are angry, and it is impossible to tolerate Fan Zheng. ”

"But what if Emperor Liao is greedy for profit and agrees to the Silk Road plan?" Yang Wei said urgently.

Lu Dafang glanced at Yang Wei deeply and said: "Take the Great Song Dynasty has lost the benefits of the Silk Road, so as to avoid the worry of the New Year's coins!" Song Liao benefited, but only Western Xia was lost, so why not. ”

Yang Wei couldn't help but be stunned, and nodded slowly: "Xianggong is wise!" ”

……………………

Outside the Yanmen Gate! The autumn wind is bleak, the grass and trees are yellow, and it is slaughtered!

Yelu Hongji looked at the heavily guarded Yanmen Pass not far in front of him, and his eyes were solemn.

"Your Majesty, the Great Song Dynasty reneged on the covenant for no reason, unilaterally abolished the New Year's coin, and asked Your Majesty to give an order to attack the Song Dynasty immediately!" Liao general Yelu Zhangnu was furious.

"Please also ask Your Majesty to send troops to teach the little emperor of the Great Song Dynasty a lesson."

The Liao generals were filled with indignation.

"Your Majesty think twice, the Great Song Dynasty has a firearm that shakes the sky and thunders! Combined with the fortress and the divine arm crossbow, it is enough to resist the siege of ten times the force, the battle of Pingxia City, the 20,000 defenders of the Great Song Dynasty beheaded 50,000 Xia soldiers, and the Great Liao has not yet found a way to crack this formation, so it is not to act rashly. Liao Prime Minister Xiao Wuna objected.

"The Battle of Pingxia City!"

The ministers of the Liao State suddenly felt a pang in their hearts, the battle of Pingxia City in the Great Song Dynasty was really amazing, and the small Pingxia City was besieged by 500,000 troops, but instead of being captured, they left the lives of 50,000 soldiers, and the first battle completely shocked the world.

Although the strength of the Liao State was stronger than that of the Western Xia, it could not withstand the loss of 50,000 soldiers in one city.

"What about the earth-shattering thunder? My Liao State does not need to attack the city, just follow the example of the Holy Sect to lead the army, and drive straight into the capital of Linbian, which will definitely make the Great Song Dynasty submit. Jeruzhangnu cried out.

"And then? Our army is on a long-distance run! The Great Song Dynasty has a thunderstorm to defend the city, and it is impossible to break through Bianjing, and the Great Song Dynasty has a forbidden army of 800,000, once the army is encircled! The worry of the annihilation of our army. Xiao Guna retorted.

"The Great Song Dynasty betrays the alliance and must be severely punished, otherwise it will become a big disaster in the future." Yelu Zhangnu was not reconciled.

"The Great Song Dynasty has added new firearms, and the Liao State must not act rashly, otherwise the Western Xia will be a lesson from the past." Xiao Wuna objected.

Suddenly, the ministers of Da Liao fell into discussion.

Some advocated immediately sending troops to crusade against the Great Song Dynasty to punish the Great Song for betraying the Lanyuan Alliance.

There are also those who advocate postponing the crusade and not acting rashly until a way to crack the earth-shaking thunder is found.

"The emperor's grandfather is slow, the Great Song Dynasty has been transporting the New Year's coins for a hundred years, and has already accumulated a lot of grievances, although the Great Song Dynasty has betrayed the alliance to abolish the New Year's coins, it has sent the Silk Road Plan, and the annual profit is more than one million yuan, far exceeding the income of the New Year's coins, so it is the way of peace between the two countries."

Suddenly, Yelu Nanyin came out of the crowd and said loudly.

"In the woman's opinion, the Great Song Dynasty's betrayal of the alliance is no longer a matter of mere coins, but the Song Dynasty's bad intentions and preparations for a counterattack on Liao." Yelu Zhangnu sneered.

Xiao Wuna also shook his head and said: "The Silk Road plan is even more of a treacherous plan of the Great Song Dynasty to divide Liaoxia, and the princess is a ploy of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Yelu Nanyin's eyes couldn't help flashing a trace of grievance, and sure enough, as Fan Zheng said, it is impossible for the national policy of Liao to change because she is a woman.

Yelu Hongji looked at the disputed ministers, and then looked at the aggrieved Yelu Nanyin, and said unmoved: "Since you have come to Yanmen Pass, it is better to see the earth-shaking thunder of the Great Song Dynasty with your own eyes." ”

"Earthquake Thunder!" The hundred officials of Daliao couldn't help but be shocked.

The reason why the situation in the Song, Xia, and Liao Kingdoms changed suddenly was because of the existence of this firearm.

At that moment, Yelu Hongji personally led a large army to Yanmen Pass a thousand steps away, and stopped at the horse.

After all, further back was within the attack range of the Great Song Eight Bull Crossbow, and the commander of the Liao Army in the Battle of Lanyuan was ambushed and killed by the Song Army's Eight Bull Crossbow, Yelu Hongji naturally would not make this mistake.

See the arrival of the Liao army!

Yanmen Pass immediately drummed loudly, and a large number of soldiers defending the city poured into the edges and corners that had just been built, holding divine arm crossbows nervously guarding against the Liao army outside Yanmen Pass.

The Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State have already been peaceful for a hundred years, and now suddenly the Liao army has arrived outside the Yanmen Pass, how can it not make the defenders nervous.

Suddenly, a Liao soldier drove straight to the Yanmen Pass, and said loudly: "Your Majesty of the Liao Kingdom has toured the south here, and I heard that the Great Song Dynasty has a firearm that shocks the sky and thunder is unparalleled, so I came to take a look. ”

"Emperor Liao wants to see the earth-shaking thunder!"

The Yanmen guards naturally already knew that Emperor Liao's southern tour had arrived, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that Emperor Liao was not attacking Yanmen Pass.

At the moment, with a wave of his hand, between the edges and corners of the two newly repaired fortresses, the divine arm crossbow was fired in unison, and at the same time, the earth-shattering thunder that ignited the fuse invested under Yanmen City.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The violent explosion was accompanied by crossbow arrows flying sideways, and the entire front of the fortress became a Shura field.

All the Liao generals who saw this scene couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, the special structure of the fortress formed an angle outfit, and then assisted by the two big killing weapons of the Divine Arm Crossbow and the Heaven-Shaking Thunder, whoever attacked the city would die for a lifetime.
