Today's court meeting can be said to be the most recently, no, the busiest in the four years of Qingli, and the officials have made many wills at this court meeting, each of which is quite tricky for the courtiers.

The court meeting, which originally took less than an hour, was held for three whole hours, from morning to afternoon, and even lunch was given by the official family.

For some courtiers, they are relatively idle, such as Yushi and Guozijian, but only these two yamen have no official duties, and almost all other officials are left in the Qianyu Palace.

This is an extremely rare situation, so in desperation, Sancai can only send people to the officials in the palace to serve some simple dry food and water as lunch, because it is not the official family's food, so the lunch of these officials can be said to be quite simple, but the Shangshi Bureau, which is responsible for the food of the palace people in the Ministry of Internal Service.

But everyone doesn't care, obviously, this is a big move by the official family, the young officials in the court are very excited, they have been expecting themselves to benefit the Great Song Dynasty, the official family, and even the people of the world since they entered the office.

The court of the Great Song Dynasty changed its previous state, and a large number of young people joined it, and Zhao Zhen had almost strict requirements for the selection of talents, with good character, talent and loyalty to the emperor.

Maybe there are not many such people, or even rare, but under the huge population base of the Great Song Dynasty, there will never be a shortage of talents in the court.

This policy has not changed since Zhao Zhen's ascension, and cultivating young people is a fairly long-term thing, although they have advantages, but like a coin, disadvantages are inevitable.

Zhao Zhen used more than ten years to promote and polish newcomers, and now they finally have a place to use, but they can't say the same, they have always played "light and heat" in their positions.

It's just that Zhao Zhen didn't change the official system of the Great Song Dynasty, the three provinces, the six Cao, and the twenty-four divisions were judged by other officials.

Where things are sent, ten are dead, two or three; Servants, scholars, cheng, lang, outsiders, and officials who do not know their duties are often eight or nine out of ten.

The Song Dynasty inherited the Tang system, and it was very bad. The three divisions and the three dukes are not often placed, the prime minister is not a full-time official of the three high-ranking officials, the book and the subordinates are listed side by side, and the middle book is not placed, which is for the political hall, and the privy council is in charge of the government, and the ministers of the two governments are directly responsible for Zhao Zhen and contain each other.

In this way, the levels of government at all levels are duplicated, and the institutions are unprecedentedly huge. However, it was conducive to the emperor's direct control over the use of large powers, and he could promote the talented and low-ranking officials to important positions at any time, and he could also remove the incompetent at any time.

Of course, Zhao Zhen also carried out appropriate dismissals for those useless official positions.

Compared with the previous dynasty, Zhao Zhen can definitely say that the officials of this dynasty are generally much younger than those of the previous dynasty.

So they didn't faint at this lengthy pilgrimage...... If it is replaced by the previous dynasty, I am afraid that most of the officials will faint in the Qianyu Hall with hunger.

Putting down the tea bowl in his hand, Zhao Zhen turned his head to Sancai and said: "Retreat from the dynasty, the ministers of the two prefectures and the Wende Hall will stay to do things, and other officials will work in the imperial city and be called at any time." ”

The privy envoys, the privy deputy envoys, the judges of the Privy Council, and all the governors of the two prefectures and the Pingzhang affairs of the Zhongshu Sect all arrived at the Wende Palace, they have eaten and drunk enough, the skills of the imperial kitchen are quite good, and the road from the Qianyu Hall to the Wende Hall is just to eliminate food.

Now that the imperial city of the Great Song Dynasty has included all the confidential yamen, and Zhao Zhen's plan also involves a lot of officials, a pre-war preparation for the Liao Dynasty has been rolled out in the court of the Great Song Dynasty, but everyone will not understand what the ultimate purpose of what they are doing is.

The main work of the water supervisor, the ordnance superintendent, and the ordnance department is to prepare a large number of ordnance, which is to cope with the consumption of the war, Zhao Zhen successfully linked the war with the economy, not only the economic blow to the Liao Dynasty, but also the measures to enhance the economy of the Great Song Dynasty.

In fact, war is about money, and every piece of plate armor, every horizontal knife, and even every arrow cluster needs to cost the manpower and material resources of the Great Song Dynasty.

How much ordnance was needed to conquer the Liao Dynasty? This is an astronomical amount, nearly 10 million crossbow arrows are needed alone, and there are countless grains and grasses.

And these things require a large number of people, and the court pays to hire workers, which is like cash-for-work, and the price is good. Zhao Zhen even had a whim, what would happen if, like later generations, these military orders were delivered to civilian factories?

He immediately dispelled this terrible thought, now is not the time, in a monarchy of the Great Song Dynasty can never appear.

……………………

The combat power of the Great Song Dynasty was amazing, but the cost of the same Great Song to launch a war was far higher than that of previous dynasties.

This is why Zhao Zhen wants to vigorously develop the economy, and the court has to support it, in their opinion, the Great Song Dynasty needs money! Otherwise, even the country can't stand it!

Compared to them, the three divisions are even busier, first of all, they have to do everything possible to refuse the officials of the Liao Dynasty to appear in the Great Song Dynasty, any method must be used, many merchants of the Liao Dynasty held up the officials in their hands and said that it could be exchanged for real money and silver in the Liao Dynasty.

At first, almost no one believed it, but gradually some merchants of the Great Song Dynasty said yes, so some Song merchants began to accept the officials of the Liao Dynasty, because they could go to the Liao Dynasty to exchange for gold and silver or even Jiaozi and then return to the Great Song Dynasty......

In Zhao Zhen's view, this is the earliest foreign exchange circulation, but it must be banned, because the Great Song Dynasty is about to launch a blow to the economy of the Liao Dynasty.

However, these officials were also very useful to the Great Song Dynasty, and the people who would be the supervisors and the Gewuyuan found the paper material used by the officials of the Liao Dynasty, which was a kind of ribbed paper, and the ink was completely penetrated into it and did not scatter the ink, which was extremely difficult to imitate, which showed that the Liao people had already done a good job in the prevention of counterfeit money.

However, it is a pity that the technology of the Great Song Dynasty is far ahead of this era, thanks to Zhao Zhen's great attention to Gewu.

Although Gewu was included in the Jinshi Branch only a few years ago, the Gewu Branch had already appeared, and Zhao Zhen's emphasis on Gewu had already begun before he ascended the throne.

Therefore, the Great Song Dynasty only needed enough time to crack the secrets of the officials of the Liao Dynasty, and it was a terrible conclusion that Zhao Zhen strictly ordered the craftsmen of the prison and Gewuyuan to keep it a strict secret, and even did not hesitate to place their families in it.

This crazy idea is that Su Shi came out first, this kid kept thinking about how to deal with the officials of the Liao people, how to destroy the economy of the Liao people, and even to the extent of going mad, Ling'er complained about himself more than once for this, but only Zhao Zhen knew why, he was escaping the terrible problem of reincarnation.

In fact, Zhao Zhen is also evading, and these days he completely puts himself in the preparation of the Northern Expedition............
