The war is over, and the end of the year is approaching, and it is time to make a summary of this war.

In the Battle of Pingxia, the Great Song Dynasty paid a lot and suffered a lot of losses. There is a lot of gain, but there are also a lot of cheap places that people pick up. Thinking of giving half of the benefits to the Liao people without much effort, from the Son of Heaven to the people, they all felt depressed. But no matter what mood you feel, you still have to do what you have to do.

The imperial court's reward for the war was hurriedly decided under the urging of Zhao Ji, and it was sent before the Chinese New Year. The imperial court did not pay too much attention to the merits of the soldiers and low-level officers who participated in the war, and everyone understood the truth that the crime was only light and the merit was serious. Even the 20,000 beheadings of the Hedong Army were not strictly inspected, but were fully admitted. But for high-ranking generals, the rewards they receive are completely composed of false titles and wealth, and there is not much substance. Separating generals from soldiers can effectively prevent people from causing rebellions.

Among them, Han Gang, who attracted the most attention, was basically a false name for the reward he received. As expected by the world after the first round of impeachment of the Imperial Observatory, he was rejected outside the Western Mansion. And by the way, it also involved the seeds. Originally, the seed with a high demand for entering the West Mansion could only return to the Sanya, and be a deputy commander of the front division of the palace, and even the rank of the official stopped at the observation envoy, not only failed to get the name of the Jiedu envoy, but even the Jiedu envoy was not awarded. Wang Zhongzheng has only one defensive envoy.

There are really them, Han Gang's six sons, and now they are all in the shade. Among them, his eldest son and second son's official officials have been compared to the eldest son of the Zaizhi family, and have jumped to the Taichang Temple Taizhu of the Jingguan sequence. Under normal circumstances, the courtiers would refuse once or twice first, but Han Gang directly thanked him.

"I can't imagine that Han Gang didn't refuse?"

"Yu Shitai is still waiting to say that he has a grudge, how dare he resign?"

"Can you not hold a grudge? The current official positions are all empty. ”

"In addition to the clan and the imperial family, among the ministers who have not served as Zaifu, how many people can be compared to Han Gang in terms of honor?"

"It's at the top. After Hedong is pacified, most of them will be transferred back to Beijing next year. ”

Han Gang didn't know what Lu Dao Jingzhong was talking about, but he didn't care too much about the reward he received.

Tongfeng Doctor, the Ministry of Inspection and Engineering, the Shanghu Army, the founding prince of Donglai County, 4,000 households in Shiyi, and 1,200 households in Shishifeng. In addition to the most reluctant, which can allow Han Gang to get an extra thirty percent of the extra money every month, the rest of the loose officials, school inspectors, lords, lords, and food towns who have been promoted are all vain, and the officials, positions, and dispatches have not moved, and they are still the right counselors, the bachelors of Longtu Pavilion, and the envoy of Hedong Road and the prefect of Taiyuan. Moreover, the power to act cheaply on this side of the Hedong Economic Strategy was also removed because of the end of the war.

Zhao Ji made it clear that he wanted to use the elevation of the false title to offset the injustice of keeping Han Gang out of the Xifu. Han Gang didn't pay much attention to this at all—although he thought that he could still cite Wang Shao's old example and be promoted from the Longtu Pavilion Scholar to the Senior Administration Palace, but even if he didn't get his wish, he didn't care very much. He was now more concerned about his reputation among the people and the scholars.

Wang Anshi has been looking forward to the world for 30 years, but before he entered the dynasty to preside over the law change, there were not many people who knew that there was a Wang Anshi. However, Han Gang's reputation is spread far and wide, and with the pace of the Department of Health and Welfare to promote the pox method, it is getting louder and louder. And the unfair treatment received this time also made the people regret it. The cause and effect of personnel changes in the court are unknown to the world, and compared to Zaifu, who has not heard much about it, a capable minister with a resounding reputation is naturally more expected.

Fame is a good thing. In the place where you work, you can smoothly control government affairs, and orders can be followed. More importantly, the academic views advocated by Han Gang have also become more recognized and studied.

The Korean version of the three-character classic has now spread among Mongolian studies in Shaanxi, because of Han Gang's vigorous promotion, it is far faster than the normal transmission speed. That's the benefit of fame. And there are more and more scholars who study qi and martial arts. Adhering to the principle of cowpox and the microscopic proof of the virus, the study of immunology has become the most fashionable topic in medicine.

After Laba, two heavy snowfalls came as they wished, which relieved the officials and people of many military states along the way to Hedong. With the snow at the end of the year, next year's harvest is guaranteed. Outside the palace, the sound of firecrackers can be heard sporadically, and the atmosphere of the New Year has gradually become stronger.

The snow in the back garden has been exciting for several children in the family for several days. In the courtyard covered in silver, the officials who obeyed the orders of the government were busy clearing the snow on the ground, and soon a snowdrift more than one person high was piled up in the corner of the courtyard.

But the snow is not all good news. In the West Hall, where official business was handled, Han Gang was listening to the report of the official household joining the army.

"There are a total of 26 large and small houses in the city that have collapsed due to snow, and there are no more casualties except for seven people with some flesh wounds."

While listening to the report, Han Gang flipped through the official document in his hand, and his brows furrowed: "Why did someone freeze to death yesterday?" It was not contained in the old temple of Tonghui'an. ”

"The two men were so drunk on the side of the road that they froze to death. It has been confirmed from the restaurant. The family has also taken the body away. ”

"It's not written in the official document." Han Gang said a word, shook his head helplessly, the situation of alcoholism became serious after the appearance of spirits, especially in the northern states and counties, every winter night, the number of alcoholics who freeze to death on the side of the road because of drunkenness has almost caught up with beggars and other homeless people: "There is no way." Let the night patrol and the husband take care of the way through the tavern. ”

"Xia Guan Zhilu said."

"How's it going outside the city?" Han Gang put down the report and asked again. The city of Taiyuan is directly managed by the government, and the countryside outside the city is the jurisdiction of Yangqu County, just as the Kaifeng Mansion is to the city of Tokyo.

"Tomorrow, Yangqu County should be able to bring up the disaster information after the snow, and in another three or five days, Yuci and Jiaocheng counties will also be able to transmit the situation back. Yu County is the farthest away, but Long Tu has previously ordered all counties to report at any time, at most seven days, and the casualties after the snow should also arrive. ”

The Sihu of Taiyuan Mansion joined the army and was an old eunuch who handled government affairs handily, which made Han Gang very satisfied.

The conversation in the west hall spread to the outside, and Huang Sheng and Zhi Keshi, who were sorting out the official documents, could hear it clearly.

"This is the only time there will be a snow disaster." Zhi Keshi whispered, "This year is about to pass, compared with previous years, the hunger on the road is less than ninety percent." ”

"Thinking about this year, there have been a lot of things, but there is finally an end." Huang Sheng looked at the snow scene outside the window: "There will be a good year next year." ”

"Everyone outside is praising Longtu's governance."

"Of course, this is the credit of Long Tu!"

Because of the popularity of the pox method, the founder Han Gang has a high reputation among the people. He was ordered to pass through Hedong in danger, and his mind was mostly on the battle array, and the government affairs of Taiyuan Mansion were actually omissions in many places. However, his high prestige saved him a lot of entanglement in his tongue when dealing with state affairs in addition to the war.

Moreover, Han Gang used a large number of Montenegrin party items as labor, saving tens of thousands of people on the road who could be used passively. The war in the summer and autumn of this year, also because of Han Gang's measures, did not interfere too much with the production and life of the people in Hedong.

The people are simple, but they are shrewd, and not many of them will understand the meaning of war, but what kind of impact it will bring to themselves, it does not take much insight to understand. Han Gang's actions, in the autumn and winter season, made many people put down a heart, and his reputation and popularity have risen more than one level.

"Huh?" Huang Shang, who was inspecting the papers, suddenly spoke.

"What's wrong?".

"Demarcator." Huang Shang raised the latest political affairs hall provincial document received from the capital in his hand, "The imperial court is going to send a demarcation envoy." ”

"Who's the envoy?"

"Han Yuru."

"Han Jin?! How is him again! Zhi Keshi screamed.

"It's not him." Huang Sheng handed the official letter in his hand to Zhi Keshi, "Judging from the previous precedent of Hedong demarcation, it will take at least one or two years. ”

After Zhen Keshi glanced at it twice, his brows furrowed tightly.

This is the third batch of national messengers this year. After the Song and Liao divided and annexed Western Xia, it was urgent to completely demarcate the new national border in the northwest. The previous group of envoys collapsed at Yelu Yixin's talks, mainly because the results of the Battle of Shengzhou reached Nanking Dao. As a last resort, the court was replaced by a new group of envoys. As stated in the provincial notes, it is led by Han Jin, a Hanlin scholar.

"Back then, Han Neihan presided over the demarcation of Hedong, but he gave up again and again, retreating from the bottom of the mountain to the watershed, and more than a dozen patrol shops were abandoned. There are also tens of thousands of people who have to move inward. It's really worthy of that share. Zhe Keshi pursed his lips and sneered.

"This matter is not Han Yuru's fault." Han Gang's voice came from the gate of the inner room.

"Dragon Figure." Huang Sheng and Zhe Keshi hurriedly stood up, and when they turned around, they saw Han Gang coming out of the inner hall.

Looking at the two staff, Han Gang shook his head, and after defending Han Jin, he didn't say anything more, and sent Sihu to join the army in front of the hall.

When Xining was eight years old, Han Gang was in Tokyo City at that time. What is the situation of being forced to cut the land by Xiao Xi, the envoy of the Liao State, he is much clearer than Zhe Keshi. Zhao Ji issued an edict several times, which was not Han Jin's responsibility at all.

But there is no need to dwell on the past, after all, even Zhao Ji will no longer be frightened by the blackmail of the Liao, and dare not deal with it.
