Zhang Hu continued: "Even if they don't dare to do anything for a while, you can let them provide information to my Dajin, or cover up the whereabouts of the Broken Arrow Army." Even if someone does not comply, we can create rumors and divide the Mongolian interior and divide Temujin from the rest of the tribe. Anything that is good for Daikin, you can do it. ”

Wan Yan Changzhi stroked his palms and laughed: "Bo Yi, Bo Yi, it is really still my son's room and Kong Mingye." ”

Zhang Hu smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty has spoken." This is true for dealing with the Mongols, and it is also the same for dealing with the Southern Song Dynasty, attacking them from within. ”

Wan Yan Changzhi shook his head and said, "Bo Yi, although you think well, I'm afraid this will be difficult to achieve." The Southern Song Dynasty is not as good as before, in my opinion, the current situation of the Southern Song Dynasty is stable, and Zhao Chen is assisted by Yang Yan by his side, even if someone wants to make trouble again, they may not dare again. Although some people rebelled and rebelled this time, they were quickly pacified by the imperial court, which is proof of this. Moreover, Zhao Chen trusts Yang Yan very much, and has the friendship of relatives, Zhao Chen is a very shrewd person, if he wants to use a discordant plan, I am afraid it will not work. ”

Zhang Hu said: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, but although the Southern Song Dynasty is stable internally, the Western Xia region may become a big problem for the Southern Song Dynasty. ”

Wan Yan Changzhi's eyes lit up, and he laughed and said: "Yes, there is indeed a lot to do in the Western Xia region!" Why didn't I think about it? ”

Zhang Hu said: "Although the Western Xia was destroyed by the Southern Song Dynasty, but the same time was not long, the foundation was unstable, not to mention the party nobles, that is, the Ren family, in the past in the Western Xia almost the monarch was divided into courts, what a kind of honor, now Ren Dejing is named the king of Qiu, there is also a fief, but compared to the glory of the day in the Western Xia, it is not the difference between heaven and earth. The people of the Ren clan may not be willing, but they are forced by the force of the Southern Song Dynasty and have to submit. And as long as I, Dajin, can show them at this time, many of them will be ready to move. ”

Wan Yan Changzhi nodded and said, "Yes, yes, even if they don't have any objections, we can create rumors and make them have to rebel." ”

Zhang Hu said again: "This time Your Majesty ascended the throne, the Southern Song Dynasty did not take the opportunity to send troops to attack, and it was precisely because of the instability of the Western Xia region. It can be said that once the Western Xia region was unstable, the Southern Song Dynasty would not raise troops to attack for a day, but on the contrary, when the Western Xia region was stable, that is, when the Southern Song Dynasty invaded the north. Therefore, as long as we can stir up the unrest of the Western Xia region, the Southern Song Dynasty will not be able to invade the Central Plains in the north. The danger of Dajin can be eliminated immediately. ”

After hearing this, Yan Changzhi couldn't help but get up from his seat, came to Zhang Hu's side, stroked his back and said: "It's really a godsend, and I have Boyi to complement me, so why worry about big things?" ”

At this time, Zhang Hu bowed to the ground and said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the minister does not dare to claim his own merits, these are all handed over to the minister before his grandfather died, please tell the minister to Your Majesty." ”

"Oh!" Wanyan Changzhi couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "What else does Old Lady Zhang have to say?" ”

Zhang Hu said: "Grandfather also said: The dispute between the two countries, trickery and deception are just small ways, not the right way. Only by accumulating national strength and making great efforts to govern the country is the right way, otherwise, even if the enemy has internal strife, my Dajin will not have the power to collect the country. ”

Wan Yan Changzhi pondered for a moment before nodding and said, "What Old Master Zhang said is really a good word. This time, the Southern Song Dynasty was able to collect the land of Western Xia, which was completely the national strength of the changes in the past few years. ”

He returned to his seat and said, "Bo Yi, during this period of time, I have carefully studied the procedures of the Southern Song Dynasty's law changes, although there are many contents of the Southern Song Dynasty law changes, but there are two key points, namely the meridian law and the mu tax law. The law of the meridian has checked the amount of land in the whole country, so that the average tax is divided, and the law of tax per mu is apportioned into the mu, and those who have more land pay more, and those who have less land pay less, no matter how the land is bought and sold and merged, it can also ensure that the income of the imperial court will not be reduced, nor will it increase the burden of the people. It is in line with the tax per mu proposed by Boyi. If Dajin can also reform the tax system in this way, it will inevitably be rich in the treasury in a few years, and even if the Song and Mongolia jointly attack, there is no need to be afraid. Therefore, I intend to ask Bo Yi to start formulating the regulations immediately, and to start implementing them immediately. ”

Zhang Hu shook his head and said, "Your Majesty can't." ”

Wan Yan was stunned, and said a little stunned: "Why not, didn't Bo Yi propose to reform the tax system at the beginning?" ”

Zhang Hu said: "The minister is not saying that the tax system cannot be reformed, but that it should not be rushed. Changing the law and innovating and sweeping away the accumulated evils has always been a major event, and it will affect the whole body, and if you are not careful, it will make the heavens resentful and the people angry, and shake the country's foundation, so we must be cautious, and we must not be anxious, hoping that in a moment, all the evils will be changed. Your Majesty didn't see the Xining reform in the Southern Song Dynasty, although the intention was good, but the result was a mess, and it also caused a dispute between the two parties in the Southern Song Dynasty. ”

Wan Yan Changzhi was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "I'm not too anxious. And Daikin's current situation is also clear, if you don't cheer up immediately, I'm afraid it will be too late. ”

Zhang Hu said: "Your Majesty has the heart of Zhongxing Dajin, and the ministers naturally know everything, but everything is not achieved quickly, and it should not be rash." What's more, the ancients also said: Those who govern a large country are like cooking small fresh. We must tremble and walk on thin ice. Now Daikin's top priority is to stabilize the north-south border, and if the border is unstable, how can the imperial court have the energy to reform the new policy? Second, the reform of the tax system should not be achieved overnight, and it is necessary to first check the land, find out the hidden fields, and hold the households hostage, and finally change the tax system. Moreover, it is best to try the tax reform in the first or second road to see the effect, if there is anything inappropriate, then revise and improve, and then implement it in the whole territory of Daikin, so as to be foolproof. ”

Wanyan Changzhi groaned for a while, then nodded, and said, "It's still true that Bo Yi said that I was indeed a little anxious in my previous words." However, you can draw up the rules first, and I will immediately start to stabilize the border, and when the time is right, then implement it as appropriate. ”

Zhang Hu also nodded and said, "The minister's decree will be followed immediately." ”

In fact, Zhang Hu didn't tell the truth, these plans were actually come up by Zhang Hu himself. And Zhang Hao definitely explained some things to him before he died, but it was something else, and it was not enough to explain to Wan Yan Changzhi,

That day, in front of Zhang Hao's hospital bed, Zhang Hu told Zhang Hao all his ideas of reforming the government. And hope to get some advice from Zhang Hao.

After Zhang Hao listened, he thought about it carefully, and basically thought that it was all feasible, but said: "Bo Yi, these strategies are all feasible and good strategies, but when you tell the emperor, don't say that you came up with it, just say that it was a plan I taught you before I died." ”

Zhang Hu was slightly stunned, but immediately understood, and said, "Why? Could it be that grandpa is afraid that the emperor will ...... me?"

Zhang Hao shook his head and said, "No, although grandpa has never learned the art of matchmaking, he is nearly eighty years old, and he is confident that he is still stable in looking at people, and there will be no mistakes." The emperor is not a narrow-minded person. I will not be suspicious of you because of your advice. And you don't have to worry, after you say this, the emperor will also understand that this is actually a strategy you came up with, just through my mouth to say it yourself. ”

Zhang Hu couldn't help but be puzzled, and said, "Grandpa, what is that for?" ”

Zhang Hao took a breath, waved his hand, and said, "Boyi, you don't have to ask again, just do as I say, the emperor will understand what is going on, and will never blame you for this." When it comes to the paragraph I am going to say later, you have to keep in mind that you must not tell others, let alone let the emperor know, do you understand? ”

Zhang Hu also heard it in his heart, and forgot to ask about what happened just now, and said, "Grandpa, what is the matter?" ”

Zhang Hao adjusted his breathing and said: "In terms of intelligence, the emperor is naturally ten times that of King Jiling, and since he is the emperor's military talent, it is Sun Wu Wu's resurrection, Li Jingyue's reincarnation, and it is not too much, but this is exactly what I have in mind." ”

Zhang Hu said a little strangely: "Now that I have strong enemies in the north and south of Dajin, I am afraid that it will be difficult to stop the war in the next ten years, the emperor is proficient in the art of war, it should be a good thing, like King Jiling, the mistake of rashly conquering Western Xia will never be made, why should grandpa worry?" ”

Zhang Hao smiled bitterly and said: "Bo Yi, what you said is naturally good, but it is precisely because the emperor is too proficient in the art of war that his way of acting may be simple, and he thinks of using force to solve everything first, ignoring that there are actually other ways to solve it." ”

When Zhang Hu heard this, he couldn't help but pay attention to Zhang Hao's words.

Zhang Hao said: "Especially now, my Dajin is in the middle of the Southern Song Dynasty and Mongolia, militarily, it is possible to be at a disadvantage for a long time, but because of his overconfidence in his own ability to use troops, the emperor is very likely to know that he is at a disadvantage, but he still has to insist on going his own way and taking risks." In this way, Daikin will be in danger. You must know that soldiers, the sharp weapons of the country, should not be lightly revealed. What's more, the major matter of governing the country is not only the use of troops. When it can be rigid and soft, it can be bent and stretched. ”

Zhang Hu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he heard it, with his understanding of Wanyan Changzhi, Wanyan Changzhi was indeed such a person. As the commander of an army, sometimes in order to win by surprise, he sometimes adopts some risky tactics, and even risks himself, which is understandable. Even Yang Yan often does this. But being the king of a country is different, and the national policy must be prudent and must not be taken lightly. Zhang Hao is really old and strong, and he sees Wanyan Changzhi very thoroughly at a glance.

Zhang Hao continued: "Therefore, you have to remember that the emperor is always dissuaded, and the dispute between the two countries, many times, many things are quiet, and it is not completely necessary to rely on force to solve it, and there are many other ways. And do not resort to force of force. Remember, remember. ”

Zhang Hu nodded and said solemnly: "Grandpa, don't worry, my grandchildren have written it down." ”
