Chapter 885: Gathering

In particular, Su You has just been established, and he has not participated in politics or the post of deputy minister, so he can get this title, which is also the first in the history of the Great Song Dynasty.

Mainly because of Wang Shao, who has been specially promoted, in Jiaozhi, this gave Zhao Ji a reason to promote Su You, and the court and the central government did not think it was different.

Su You asked Da Song to pick up a leak, and Zhao Ji also asked Su You to pick up a leak.

As far as the DPRK and China are concerned, the Cochin Road is still a marginal affair, and there are many real major events.

Xin Si, a bachelor of Hanlin, a bachelor of Baowen Pavilion, Lu Gong, and a bachelor of Duanming Palace.

Lu Gong's book was appreciated by Zhao Ji, and his good temper was a plus.

Zhao Ji sometimes talked about learning with Lu Gongshu, and Lu Gongshu could always induce him slowly.

Once Zhao Ji and Lu Gong wrote and discussed the Tao, they gradually talked about interpretation and old age.

Lu Gongzhu asked Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, do you say that Yao Shun and they know these truths?" ”

Yao Shun is the idol of all Chinese emperors, Zhao Ji said: "How can Yao and Shun not know! ”

Lu Gong smiled and said: "Then since Yao Shun knows this, why did he never hear them mention these things long before Shi Lao, and only took knowing people and reassuring the people as the top priority?" ”

"Your Majesty, this is the reason why Yao Shun is Yao Shun."

On another occasion, an official proposed that corporal punishment be reinstated, suggesting that death row prisoners should be tried by slashing and slashing. Lu Gongzhu promptly advised Zhao Ji: "If you really don't die, then there is no reason to stop corporal punishment." ”

Zhao Ji suddenly realized and issued an edict to stop the discussion. Soon an appointment was issued, making Lu Gongshu a minister of the attendants, in fact, half of the teacher after Wang Anshi.

He was appointed with Sun Gu, a Privy Councillor, who was promoted to the Privy Council.

Old man Sun was stubborn and old-fashioned, and Wang Anshi couldn't be a prime minister, but now that Wang Anshi is gone, Zhao Ji remembered the old man again, first summoned Kaifeng, and then had such an appointment, which is a sign that Zhao Ji began to change his thinking.

There is another major event this month, and the economic policy of Hedong Road has also begun to loosen.

Chen Anshi, deputy envoy of the Household Affairs Department, went to Taiyuan to inspect the problem of grain storage at the border and found that there were many problems.

When discussing the pros and cons of border grain storage with Han Jiang, the transit envoy of Taiyuan, Han Jiang believed that the number of peace orders should be reduced, and it should be reduced by at least 30 percent.

Harmony is the official purchase system in which the government compulsorily purchases grain from the private sector, and it blatantly exploits and plays hooliganism.

After investigation, Chen Anshi believes that he can go further.

The governments of the thirteen states on the border of Hedong Road only have a total revenue of more than 390,000 stones, and the total amount of government and grain is as high as more than 820,000 stones!

There is a big problem here, the people of Hedong Road, the burden of the people is mainly in the peace, not in the two taxes.

Therefore, Hedong Road has suffered continuous floods, and the imperial court has repeatedly exempted taxes, but the people still can't live, and the crux of the problem is here!

However, the border reserves are indispensable, so they have always relied on the local government to implement the policy of peace and procurement, nominally paying half of the money to the people, but in fact mostly issuing salt money.

Yes, Hebei Road, and salt banknotes.

The amount was abnormal, and the people were troublesome, so they could only sell it to the salt merchants at half price, resulting in the public spending real money, and the people had no benefit.

Therefore, Chen Anshi suggested that the local state capital should be skipped, and the money for buying grain should be entrusted to the Huangsong Bank and directly allocated to the state army in the border area, and the state army would be responsible for buying grain and grass reserves for military use.

In this way, the burden on the common people in Hedong will be immediately reduced by six or seven tenths.

The imperial court thought that Chen Anshi's suggestion was reasonable, so it appointed him as a transfer envoy to Hedong Road, and his ideas were first promoted in the Hedong Road area.

Immediately after, Chen Anshi issued an order to welcome businessmen from all over the world to come to Hedong to sell grain.

The most advantageous, of course, the two Zhejiang roads, there are grain and sea ships, unlike Caoyun and the government along the way to exploit it, immediately a steady stream of north, the border grain storage in the Hedong Road area has greatly increased, to meet the military needs, the burden of the people in Hedong has been reduced by two-thirds at once, and the voices are full of joy and praise.

May, Jiaozhi Road, Yunzhou.

Li Shunju moved the city from the Ning Navy to here, and vacated the Ning Navy Yamen to Wang Shao.

In order to alleviate the embarrassment of Su You and Wang Shao, Li Shunju used the excuse of celebrating his birthday and pulled the high-ranking officials and scholars of Jiaozhou to Yunzhou and held a birthday party.

In fact, the noisy quarrel between Wang Shao and Su You is a manifestation of intimacy, but Li Shunju is an old adult, he doesn't know, he is afraid that the two will really make trouble like this, and he is ready to give them a general peace.

At the same time, the rewards of the imperial court were lowered, and Jiaozhi Road was allowed to seek its own funds, and the meritorious ministers were rewarded three times, and the meritorious ministers were headed by Su You, and the officials were added to the knighthood.

Everyone was very happy, and it was just a good time to celebrate.

The new Imperial Court Newspaper and Times also arrived, so everyone held a banquet on the Flying Fish and chatted about the news.

The news was published in the newspaper that Zeng Gongliang, the Taifu and the servant, died at the age of eighty. The emperor cried and dropped out of the dynasty for three days. Gift Taishi, Zhongshu Order.

Originally, it was originally intended to be loyal, but it was refuted by the ceremonial official Liu Zhi: "Gongliang lives in three things, and he doesn't recommend a person, and he is loyal!" The family has a lot of money, and it has not tasted anything, and it has to be sacrificed! ”

It's embarrassing, but "the public can't take it", so I have to change Xuanjing.

Zeng Gongliang is stingy and good at management, and he has grown to a huge number of goods, but "plucking a hair and benefiting the world, not for it." ”

This is actually a way of being a minister of Lao Zeng, who has nothing to do with anyone, this is called "lonely minister", a type that the emperor likes very much.

The most important thing is that he once strongly recommended Wang Anshi and Han Qi, and later had a political conflict with Wang Anshi. Neither staunch reformist nor staunch conservative. That's what makes it vilified.

When Zhao Luan and Zhang Fangping opposed Wang Anshi together, Zeng Gongliang also agreed, but Zhao Luan wanted to do things according to law, which led to Wang Anshi's edict not being drafted immediately.

After Zeng Gongliang calculated, he thought that Wang Anshi would have a better chance of winning, so he sent his son to report to Wang Anshi overnight, and Wang Anshi immediately entered the palace to meet Zhao Ji, causing Lao Zhang and Lao Zhao to miss the opportunity.

Wang Anshi was very grateful to Zeng Gongliang and promoted his son Zeng Xiaokuan to the Privy Council.

Su Shi once reproached Zeng Gongliang for not being able to save and make up for the shortcomings, and Zeng Gongliang's explanation was: "Shang and Jiefu are like one person, this is heaven." ”

The world ridiculed Zeng Gongliang in this way, thinking that he used this method to maintain his position and favor, and he was not a righteous person.

However, Zeng Gongliang did have a decisive hand for Zhao Ji, second only to Han Qi.

Han Qi got the inscription of "The Father of the Two Dynasties", and Zhao Ji gave Zeng Gongliang the same treatment.

Wang Shao was very interested in Zeng Gongliang, but he was interested in another thing: "I really want to see the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts". ”

"The General Essentials of the Martial Arts" is divided into two episodes, each with twenty volumes.

The first twenty volumes detail the military system of the Song Dynasty. It includes the selection and use of troops, education and training, troop formation, marching and camping, ancient and modern formations, communication and reconnaissance, city attack and defense, fire attack and water warfare, weapons and equipment, etc.

Especially in the part of the battalion formation, weapons, and equipment, everything is equipped with detailed illustrations, of course, the illustrations are relatively rough, and they are 108,000 miles away from the science and engineering drawings, but they are also extremely valuable materials.

The 20 volumes of the latter collection contain stories about the use of troops in the past dynasties, preserve a lot of ancient battle examples, and analyze and evaluate the battle examples and gains and losses of the past dynasties.

Wang Shao was not interested in the first episode, he himself knew better than Zeng Gongliang, what he was interested in was the latter episode, which Zeng Gongliang sorted out from the Inner House Books, and many of them even Wang Shao didn't know.

Su You said with a smile: "It has been compiled since the Renzong Dynasty, and it has been more than 20 years now, and it was not completed until the death of Zeng Gong, which can be called a masterpiece." It's a pity that from the first day of its release, "Wujing General Essentials" has lagged behind, and only the value of literature remains. ”

In his words, he was quite complacent.

Wang Shao rolled his eyes: "Be proud, you will!" ”

Li Shunju saw that the two were about to make trouble again, so he hurriedly interrupted: "The Di newspaper said that the right to send a point to Cai Chengxi, an official matter of Kaifeng Prefecture, and to mention the righteous cang, can we also do it?" Seeing that it is about to enter the rainy season, compiling historical materials from the past, Cochin is also plagued, mainly by strong winds, heavy rains, and heavy water. ”

Li Daocheng came over and handed over: "Thank you for loving my people in Jiaozhi, now the pattern of Jiaozhi Road is different, Yicang, schools, Tzu Chi Yuan, I am ready to go to Wenzhou County, let all places buy it." ”

Su You said: "Yes, these can also be included in the performance appraisal of local officials. In fact, the best way to evaluate performance is to count the happiness index of the people under his rule. But it's too hard. ”
