The emperor had another daughter, and this matter spread back and forth in the mouths of the Bianliang people, and became the hottest topic.

But for some, that's not a problem.

"Even if the official family has a prince at the moment, his body is ...... At that time, it will be the lord Shaoguo who is suspicious, and the harem will come out to listen to the government, which is not good, no one wants to do this. ”

Song Zhen looked at his younger brother Song Qi sitting opposite with a smile and said, "The third envoy is an important position, you have to do it well, but now you are not good at taking the lead." ”

Song Qi looked a little indifferent, and he said lightly: "You are being a privy envoy, if I am more radical in the position of the third envoy, the two brothers will have to go down, I know this, so don't worry, I won't be tired of you." ”

The two brothers are both talented, but a few years ago, there was a dispute over some things on the way to the eunuch, and there were some disagreements.

Song Zhen nodded approvingly, and then said, "Be careful recently, the official family has a bad temper." ”

Song Qi asked: "The two county kings have good clans, the Huayuan County Wang family is simpler, but the population of the Runan County Wang family is too much, and the old county king is old and strong, which is not a good thing." ”

There are too many people, and there is an old father who is old and strong, if Zhao Zongshi gets a big position, these brothers and the old father have some different thoughts, or want to share the world or something, what should the Great Song Dynasty do?

Song Zhen sighed: "But there is a person who is good friends with Zhao Zhongjiao, but he has helped a lot. ”

"Who?"

"Shen An."

……

“…… Official, Shen An drank half a catty yesterday and was a drunken mess. ”

Zhang Banian is talking.

“…… Xiao Qing talked to the king of Huayuan County yesterday, and his face was solemn......"

"This solemn face is fake."

Zhao Zhen covered his forehead and sat on it, and sneered: "I'm not his father, who is he looking at with a solemn face?" At first glance, it was fake, but Shen An ...... The young man probably went out of the palace to get the news that Zhao Zhongjun was also questioned, and he was afraid, the young man had no city mansion, and he was so scared that he wanted to drink......"

The official family has a bad temper!

Zhang Bannian gave Chen Zhongheng a look and motioned for him to come out and stir it up.

Chen Zhongheng came out with a smile and said, "Official, there is another lady who will give birth next month, but the minister has been looking forward to it for a long time, just waiting for the good news......"

"It's hard!"

Zhao Zhen felt that there was a big hand pressing on him in the dark, making him unable to move.

He had a wonderful feeling that he was about to die.

Without a son, it is the last one.

The only thing that can support him now is that he can still get a woman pregnant.

I'm going to try more, try more.

It was the only sustain he had in the midst of despair.

"Official, there is a sparse performance."

Zhao Zhen took the song, glanced at it impatiently at first, and then couldn't help but get serious.

He sat up straight, then looked serious.

"Summoning Zaifu, summoning the three envoys, summoning ...... Zhao Zongshi and Zhao Zongjiang, enter the palace! ”

The people in front were fine, but Zhao Zongshi and Zhao Zongjiang in the back startled Chen Zhongheng, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a little cold color.

The emperor never allowed anyone to covet his throne, and this was not an exception to character.

Power is what the emperor values most, and the rest is just a dispensing.

But news came later: "Official, Zhao Zongshi said that he was sick and couldn't come." ”

Zhao Zhen asked lightly, "What about Zhao Zongjiang?" ”

"Let's go."

Chen Zhongheng didn't know what the official family was thinking now, so he had to answer honestly.

"Then call Shen Anlai."

Zhao Zhen said dissatisfiedly: "The young man has been in the eyes of money all day long, to pass on my words, let him be more diligent, don't let me beat me to be willing to work hard." ”

Shen An has passed!

Chen Zhongheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Later, the ministers gathered, and Shen An also came panting.

Zhao Zongjiang looked at Shen An very curiously, compared him with Xiao Qing in his heart, and then came to a conclusion.

Looks like a very honest person!

Shen An is very honest, so he doesn't say a word during the discussion.

“…… The people who suffered from the snow disaster in Zhongmu last year are currently without food and clothing, and the number of people is about 5,000, and the officials below said that those crowds are excited, and they are afraid that there will be some movement......"

Zhao Zhen forgot about the future at this moment, with worry in his eyes, and said: "Now is the time when the green and yellow are not accepted, once these people are bewitched, it will be a big disaster." ”

Fu Bi said: "Those people are close to the capital, not to mention the danger, they are afraid that Bianliang will shake. ”

There are many troops around Bianliang, and no one can rebel.

But after all, it should be human!

This is the first time that the two brothers of Song Zhen have been together as Zaifu at the same time, and Song Qi came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thought that he should immediately allocate money and food, and then let people guard it." ”

This is a decent disposal plan, as a newcomer, Song Qi behaved very steadily.

Han Qi felt that it was not comprehensive enough, he went out of class and said: "Your Majesty, since the food is not enough to eat, take the strong and the family, and turn them all into the van army, and the rest of the old and weak will be scattered and settled." ”

This is the most straightforward solution, and it is also the old solution in the past.

This is the case in the Great Song Dynasty, once there is a catastrophe in a certain place, many times the people above will not consider what post-disaster reconstruction is, and directly divide the victims into a box army.

Brothers, from this day onwards, you will eat the emperor's grain.

Everyone applauded and celebrated, celebrating that their family could not produce from now on, sit and wait for death.

"Your Majesty...... Minister......"

Shen An raised his hand on the side, and Zhao Zhen couldn't help but smile when he saw his cautious appearance, and asked, "Do you have something to say?" ”

When did the boy become so cautious? Most of the time it's fake.

"The minister has something to say."

Shen An said seriously: "Your Majesty, placing the victims as a box army, this is a way to treat headaches and foot pain, which seemed good before, but now it is not done." ”

He glanced at Han Qi and said, "There are many troops raised by the Great Song Dynasty...... The third envoy, Song Xiang, must know these difficulties. ”

Most of the annual income of the Great Song Dynasty was used to support the army, and it slowly became the biggest burden.

Song Qi came out of the class and said: "It's very difficult. ”

He wanted to keep a low profile for a while, so he went back after finishing speaking, which can be called a cherished word.

Han Qi frowned and said, "This is the method of the ancestors!" ”

it!

Shen An didn't scold at Han Qi, but at this bullshit rule.

It doesn't matter if you don't have an idea when you encounter a problem, let's pull out the law of our ancestors to find a case, and it's always right to follow the cat and draw the tiger.

Shen An asked again: "The minister dares to ask the third envoy Song Xiang, how much does it cost me to raise troops in a year?" ”

Song Qi glanced at Zhao Zhen, then shook his head.

This data is confidential and cannot be disseminated to the outside world.

Zhao Zhen hesitated, because there were many people present today, once those data were disseminated, not only would the enemy country know the details of the Great Song Dynasty, but the people would also ......

I'm afraid they're going to panic!

Seeing this, Shen An smiled and said, "Actually, don't say it, the minister also knows ......."

Are you trying to induce?

Song Qi felt that this young man was not as capable as his brother said, and he was a little self-righteous.

"When the minister was a deputy to the Privy Council, he paid a lot of attention to the military room......"

Shen An said calmly: "A foot soldier in the forbidden army will cost fifty times a year. There are fewer soldiers, and it takes thirty runs. There were about 600,000 forbidden troops and about 500,000 van troops...... Chen's mind is good...... The forbidden army spends more than 30 million guan a year, and the box army spends 15 million guan a year, and the two add up to more than 40 million guan of military spending...... Your Majesty, how much do I earn in the New Year? ”

Zhao Zhen only felt that someone had stabbed him in the back, he looked at Fu Bi and asked, "Fu Qing, is this right?" ”

Shen An's heart immediately cooled to his stomach.

Brother, you don't even know these data?

How can you be an emperor?

This Great Song Dynasty did not lose the country, which is really a miracle.

Fu Bi also felt a little embarrassed, so he said, "The minister doesn't know. ”

"Three envoys."

Zhao Zhen looked at Song Qi.

Song Qi secretly complained in his heart, and went out of class and said, "Your Majesty, minister...... First arrival. ”

I've just arrived at the Third Division! You can't expect me to stay on top of the situation right away, can you?

"The minister knows."

Shen An came out to speak again, Zhao Zhen had a black line on his face, thinking that the ministers didn't know about the two problems, and you were waiting for the edict...... How do you let the Zaifu live?

Shen An glanced at Fu Bi, "I have about 35 million coins, and thirty percent of them are used to raise the army. I have made more than 8 million horses of silk cloth in the past year, and ninety percent of them have raised the army, and I have earned grain in the past year......"

"Enough!"

Zhao Zhen stopped Shen An's revelation and asked, "What do you think?" ”

The Zaisukes looked at each other, but their expressions gradually calmed down.

It's not difficult to grasp the data, it's a big deal to ask.

But this ancestral method ......

Fu Bi and Zai Fu exchanged glances and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers think ...... It is better to list the strong among the victims as soldiers. ”

I'm still afraid of rebellion!

But this time it was not the emperor who was afraid, but the ministers who were afraid.

What are you afraid of?

Shen An felt that there was a ghost in this Great Song Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, please give me work for relief!"

A group of the most powerful guys in the Great Song Dynasty were staring at him, but Shen An said without hesitation: "It's good to be a box soldier, but every year there will be less taxes and more expenses, what if you can't support so many troops at that time?" And not more taxes......"

The people who used to pay taxes have become the army, not only do they not pay taxes, but they also have to spend a lot of money and food every year to support them.

"But after the overtax, the people will become more and more impoverished, and they will inevitably rise up. At that time, the victims did not rebel, but the people could not survive! ”

It's a vicious circle!

But you don't even want to stop this cycle, and you are happy to continue to die according to the method of your ancestors.

Looking at these eyes with disdain, dissatisfaction, stunned, and laughter...... Shen An only felt a chill down his spine.

Why is this group of people ruling the Great Song Dynasty, can this Great Song Dynasty go?

No!

I'm not afraid that you will die, but don't take me with you!

Shen An raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please give you work for relief!" ”

The Zaisukes were watching him. Every few years, there will be three envoys complaining, saying that most of the annual revenue of the Great Song Dynasty is spent on the army, plus the annual large-scale sacrificial activities of the royal family, which will be stretched thin at the end of each year.

The Zaisuke didn't remember the data, but they did remember the general situation.

They know this, but what can they do?

In order to prevent the victims from rebelling, it is best to form an army.

This is the law of the ancestors.

The law of the ancestors is naturally good, although there are small shares in the Great Song Dynasty for many years...... rebellion, but it was only a small trouble, and the Great Song Dynasty was very stable.

This is the merit of the Dharma of the ancestors.

You're a little young...... Do you even dare to question the law of your ancestors?

"Cash-for-work?"

Fu Bi hesitated a little and said, "I'm afraid that some of the victims will climb up and shout, and then the party will be eroded." ”

He looked at Shen An and said, "And with work for relief, there's nothing to do near Zhongmu......

Shen An said helplessly: "Since there is a snow disaster, the house must have collapsed, right?" The DPRK will send money and food to let the victims rebuild their homes! ”

This group of people is accustomed to organizing the victims into an army when encountering a famine, and they even habitually forget these methods.

"But if it's a riot ...... the victims"

Han Qi raised doubts, which represented the ministers and the emperor.

Shen An looked at these people and sighed: "The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as your own kennel." When you are young, you leave home and return to your roots...... Your Majesty, who would want to leave their homeland unless they had to? Who wants to go to riot? ”

The hall was silent, and everyone was thinking about Shen An's words.
