When the Southern Song Dynasty changed the law and innovated, Wanyan Changzhi didn't care about it, thinking that it was just a copy of the Xining reform that year, and finally made a disgraced matter. It is known that this change in the Southern Song Dynasty could not help but not cause a big mess, but on the contrary, it really did not increase the burden of the people, and strengthened the national strength. This was confirmed by the feedback from the field and the reports of the Jin State spies within the Southern Song Dynasty.

In fact, a very simple comparison can be seen to see the benefits brought by the reform to the Southern Song Dynasty. After the southern expedition of the Jin Kingdom, the Jin and Song dynasties entered a period of recuperation and recuperation almost at the same time. At that time, the conditions of the Jin State were even better than those of the Southern Song Dynasty. Because the main battlefields of the Southern Expedition were all carried out on the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty, social production, farmland and urban facilities were damaged to varying degrees, but the Jin State did not suffer these losses. Moreover, after the armistice between the two sides, the Jin State immediately entered the recovery period, and the Southern Song Dynasty also experienced a war between two kings for the throne, although the scale of this war was not large, and the time was not long, but it also delayed the recovery time of the Southern Song Dynasty.

However, after seven years of recovery between the two sides, the national strength accumulated by the Southern Song Dynasty was enough to support a war to destroy the country, and successfully took Dali and Western Xia, while the Jin State could not be conquered by a Mongol, compared with the two, it is obviously too different.

In the past, Wanyan Changzhi was just a military general stationed at the border, and he only had to ask the court for money and things, and he didn't have to worry about financial and tax matters at all, but now that he is the emperor of Dajin, these things should be worried, and for a country, financial and tax matters are even more important than military aspects. Therefore, Wanyan Changzhi also paid attention to this change in the Southern Song Dynasty, and after Zhang Hu's reminder, he began to carefully study the content of the change in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Therefore, before setting out on the expedition, Wanyan Changzhi asked his father-in-law Wanyan Fushou to collect information on the Southern Song Dynasty reform for himself. After returning to Zhongdu, for more than ten days, after the next dynasty, Yan Changzhi returned to the palace to read these materials carefully, and then exchanged opinions with his wife and father-in-law. At the same time, he also urgently hopes that Zhang Hu can return to Zhongdu as soon as possible to discuss the plan of reforming the tax system.

After more than ten days of careful reading, Wan Yan Changzhi recruited officials from the household department to learn more about the tax situation of the Jin State, and compared the two compartments, Wan Yan Changzhi also had to admit that the tax system of the Southern Song Dynasty was much more clever than that of Dajin. If no change is made, the gap between the rich and the poor will only widen. Therefore, Wanyan Changzhi also desperately hoped that Zhang Hu would come back soon.

Now, Zhang Hu is at the time of the spring breeze. This time, he accompanied Zhang Ruwei to escort Zhang Hao's coffin back to Bohai, and also picked up his mother. Zhang Hu's mother is now also the wife of the county marquis, so although the mother and the two are mourning, they can also be regarded as returning to their hometown in brocade clothes and returning to their hometown.

The Zhang family is a big family in Bohai, and Zhang Hao is a veteran of the Five Dynasties, so his funeral is naturally very grand. The number of people who came and went to pay their respects was innumerable. Although Zhang Hu is not well-known in Bohai, but now everyone knows that he is an upstart in the imperial court, and he has won the trust of the emperor, and his future is naturally limitless, so other wealthy families of the Bohai family naturally have to take this opportunity to make friends with Zhang Hu, so there is an endless stream of people who come to visit him.

Zhang Hu's house in Bohai is not big, and it is usually deserted, but now it is also a crowded city, and it is very lively. Some people also heard that Zhang Hu had not yet been married, so a large group of people came to the door to propose marriage, and many people were even willing to give their daughters to him as concubines. made Zhang Hu feel that his head was as big as a fight, that is, he laughed and laughed, and he didn't get tired of it.

Although Zhang Hu's mother and son have already left the Zhang family's independent door, but now that he has returned to Bohai as a governor and has become the highest official in the Zhang family, the Zhang family's attitude towards their mother and son has naturally changed greatly. Zhang Ruwei, Zhang Rulin, and Zhang Ruyou were all congratulatory to Zhang Hu, and before the funeral, the three of them took the initiative to visit the door together, and invited Zhang Hu's mother and son to return to the Zhang family's mansion to live. And it was proposed that Zhang Hu should be the third-generation representative of the Zhang family at the funeral to bring filial piety to Zhang Hao.

Although in the first few days, Zhang Hu had a feeling of raising his eyebrows, but over the years, Zhang Hu's mind was far more mature than his peers, and Dan had already been accustomed to seeing the hot and cold world, so he politely refused to invite his mother and son to return to the Zhang family's mansion on the grounds that his mother and son had already moved out of the Zhang family and were also used to living. and made it clear that he was not Zhang Hao's eldest grandson, nor was he a descendant, so although he attended the funeral, he must not be the representative of the third generation of the Zhang family, and asked the three of them to choose someone else according to the ceremony.

But after Zhang Hurong returned to his hometown, his previous life experience was slowly excavated, and the experience of their mother and son being unpopular in the family, leaving the Zhang family, and becoming independent was also amplified intentionally or unintentionally, and began to spread in the Bohai area. Although this rumor has no impact on Zhang Hu, on the contrary, it also brings him a legend of self-improvement, but it is not a good thing for the Zhang family, who is still a face-saving family in Bohai and even Dajin.

And after Zhang Hao's death, although the Zhang family is still noble, its power is much less than before. Zhang Ruwei is just a waiter in the fourth grade of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhang Rulin and Zhang Ruyou are even more ranked. And the three of them are not young, and the development of their careers in the future is extremely limited, and among the three generations of children and grandchildren, there seems to be no talent who can get ahead, and the Zhang family wants to maintain glory, and can only rely on Zhang Hu to support the portal.

Therefore, although Zhang Hu was politely refused, Zhang Ruwei, Zhang Rulin, and Zhang Ruyou still did not give up, and tried their best to persuade them, even bursting into tears. Zhang Hu also felt that it was difficult to be warm, and remembered Zhang Hao's good intentions for himself, plus now his mother and son are indeed disturbed by the entertainment, and when they return to Zhang's house, it is not a place to hide temporarily. So Zhang Hu promised the three of them that during Zhang Hao's funeral, his mother and son would temporarily return to Zhang's house to live, and then move back after the funeral.

Although it is only temporary, as long as Zhang Hu's mother and son are accepted into Zhang's family, it will be considered a success, and what will happen after the funeral will be talked about later. Zhang Ruwei, Zhang Rulin, and Zhang Ruyou naturally agreed, Zhang Hu's mother and son didn't have too many things, and in the Zhang family's mansion, they had already prepared a residence for their mother and son, so on the same day, Zhang Hu's mother and son moved back to Zhang's house.

The Zhang family is the home of the hairpin, no better than those nouveau riche, the door is profound, but no one comes to the door, the porter will report to the inside, and if the identity is not enough, the porter will not care at all. After Zhang Huyuan moved into Zhang's house from mother and son, his ears could be much quieter.

That knows that within the family, their mother and son are also hot, brothers and brothers, the clansmen who used to look down on their mother and son, as well as those who bullied them, at this time also came to climb the dragon and the phoenix. There are also outsiders who ask for help, pull relationships, and find a mansion to visit Zhang Hu, in fact, it is not easier than living outside.

Later, Zhang Hu also got old, ordered his family to strictly guard the door, and the general unrelated personnel were also gone, and even Zhang Ruwei, Zhang Rulin, and Zhang Ruyou did not give face, and threatened to move out. frightened the whole family, Zhang Ruwei, Zhang Rulin, and Zhang Ruyou were also strict with other clansmen, so it was easy not to disturb their mother and son, so it was much quieter.

However, some important guests, such as local state officials, some official eunuchs with low status, and officials sent from them to visit Zhang Hao to mourn Zhang Hao, also had to invite Zhang Hu to accompany him. That's not all, even all the things in Zhang Hao's funeral, such as the date of the funeral, the ceremony, the specifications, etc., Zhang Ruwei, Zhang Rulin, and Zhang Ruyou had to come to inform Zhang Hu, as if they were asking him for instructions. Zhang Hu had no choice but to be patient, submissive to all inquiries, and accompanied them to play on the spot.

But after this toss, it is finally a lot more leisurely than before. Therefore, Zhang Hu has time to pay attention to the recent major events in the court.

At this time, the news of Wanyan Changzhi's army defeating the Mongol army also reached Bohai. Although it was not as excited and celebrated as Zhongdu, it was a victory after all, so all parts of Bohai also celebrated the victory of the Jin army. But only Zhang Hu knew in his heart that this time he went on an expedition, and Wanyan Changzhi did not achieve his combat goal. Therefore, the country of gold is not out of the crisis.

Of course, Zhang Hu is very happy, he can return to his hometown in such a brocade clothes, and he is full of eyebrows, which is completely due to his favor. Therefore, he is also very grateful for Wanyan Changzhi's kindness, and in the funeral of She, in Zhang Hu's heart, he is also constantly thinking about how to make Dajin out of the crisis. Finally came to the day of Zhang Hao's burial, and after everything was buried, Zhang Hu discussed with his mother that he would return to Zhongdu to assist the emperor and deal with the government.

It is said that after Zhang Hao was buried, even if Zhang Hu did not keep filial piety for three years, he should at least wait until after Qiqi before leaving. But firstly, Zhang Hu is only a grandson, and his father has passed away a long time ago, and he has not come out, and the mother and son have long been independent, and secondly, Zhang Hu's mother is also quite reasonable, and understands that now his mother and son can have such glory, it is the emperor's deliberate affection, so there is no objection.

After the mother and son discussed, it was decided that after the first seven years, Zhang Hu's mother stayed in Bohai and fulfilled the responsibility of filial piety as a daughter-in-law, and Zhang Hu returned to Zhongdu. After Zhang Ruwei, Zhang Rulin, Zhang Ruyou and others found out, although they were unwilling, they saw that their mother and son had negotiated with each other, and now who could give Zhang Hu the house, so they had to let Zhang Hu go back to Zhongdu.

After Yan Changzhi knew that Zhang Hu had returned to Zhongdu, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately ordered someone to summon him into the palace to meet him.
