A big country, in the eyes of other countries, is arrogant and lascivious, does not want to forge ahead, and is afraid that it has the appearance of a big country, but has no ambition of a great country.

On the surface, the Song Kingdom was calm and prosperous, but in fact, there were countless filths and dirt hidden under the surface of the scenery.

"Ahem, Situ, the Song Kingdom has been prosperous for a hundred years, and the Song people are a little slack, but it is not as serious as you said." Jian Ye coughed lightly twice, his face was not good.

I didn't expect Situ to be a ruthless stubble, if he was a swordsman, he would definitely hit the opponent's weakness, the problem he said, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Kingdom were not unaware, but a century-old stubborn disease is not easy to change, and it may be difficult to get rid of it without hurting the muscles and bones.

In that case, there is no difference between dealing with the stubborn diseases of the Song State and carrying out a reform of the law.

On the contrary, Lin Shuying was much more generous, no matter what she thought about in her heart, she smiled and said to Situ: "What Situ said really tells me that Song was born in sorrow and died in peace, so how does Situ think it should be solved?" ”

"Empress, Lord Jane, there must be a strategy in my heart, so I won't point fingers at the Song dynasty, so as not to be misunderstood." Situ stared at Lin Shuying, but the afterglow turned to Jian Ye, he really couldn't say much about this matter, otherwise he would ignore Jian Ye and the ministers. "However, the emperor once told me that the heavens will descend on people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skin, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they are tempted to endure and benefit what they can't."

"The authorities are confused, the bystanders are clear, Situ, you must not hide it, I want to hear it." Lin Shuying's expression changed slightly, and an imperial aura arose spontaneously.

She didn't think about it. Lin Feng would tell Situ this, no wonder the Yan Kingdom was revived again at a critical juncture.

What Situ said. In her heart, she didn't know if the ministers of the Song Kingdom realized it, but she really didn't realize it, she wanted to wholeheartedly build the Song Kingdom into the richest country among the princes, so that the Song people would have no worries about food and clothing, but it was inevitable that things would be reversed. Behind the prosperity of the Song State, the people of the Song State began to sink and lose their fighting spirit.

Today. Situ's words were simply enlightening, which made her suddenly realize, and now she wants to come. I was scared.

Situ chuckled. Playfully said: "I won't say anything about the specific measures, but I feel that no matter what means are used, we must let the Song people realize the problems behind the glory and wealth, and cultivate the spirit of sacrificing their lives to go to the country and seeing death as if they were going home!"

A person often makes mistakes, and knowing that mistakes can be corrected is very good. There is trouble inside the country, and there is blockage outside. will make a difference in the difficult situation.

In the same way, a nation that does not have a wise man who adheres to the law and assists the king at home, and a state that has no rival and an external calamity to match it abroad, will often perish. Why, it is only because of sorrow and affliction that people survive and develop, and comfort and pleasure that make people languish and die? ”

Lin Shuying admired Situ a lot, the other party had such a state of thought, it was too unexpected.

She has Jian Ye, Tian Xu, Meng Kuo and other civil and military generals by her side, governing the country, attacking cities and plundering land, but she can't peel off the cocoon, and see the real Song Kingdom through the subtleties.

Today, if it weren't for Situ's testimony, she would still be proud, indulging in the dream of a great country, imagining that one day, she would march westward and dominate the Central Plains.

It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous!

"Okay, very good, Situ, you are worthy of Lin Feng's right-hand man, I think, the people of Yan must have the spirit of donating their lives to the country as you said, and seeing death as if they were going home." When Lin Shuying heard this, she clapped her hands and asked without hesitation: "Situ, didn't you say that Song Guo said that Song Guo had three problems?" I'm sure you've seen a lot of problems, and I can't wait to hear you point out the second drawback. ”

Lin Shuying has vanity, but she also knows the truth of being a good minister and a far villain, Situ's words, although she denies her credit a little, which makes her difficult to accept, but she will not hide her illness and avoid medical treatment.

knew that the Song State had drawbacks, but he covered his ears and stole the bell, and didn't ask or hear it.

Situ smiled, and was both surprised and a little happy when Lin Shuying accepted his suggestion: "Empress, you are a person similar to my emperor, you are all humble and obedient, if Situ was unwilling in Yan Kingdom, he would definitely serve the empress with all his heart, but unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world." Of course, staying in Yan Kingdom today, Situ has no regrets! ”

Today, Situ met Lin Shuying for the first time, not to mention the other party's beautiful appearance, Situ was conquered by her personality charm, saw the lack of personal strength, and fully realized that the king is like a stone, and a good minister is like a craftsman. The walls are thousands of feet, and there is no desire to be rigid.

Without much hesitation, Situ continued: "The army, the second problem of the Song State is the army, if this problem is not dealt with for a long time, one day, the Song State will die in civil strife!" ”

"Situ, I admire your talent, but don't be alarmist, what's wrong with Team Song's?" Jian Ye roared angrily.

Situ didn't pay attention to Jian Ye at all, if you don't realize it, it doesn't mean that others can't realize it, just like at this moment, you are not polite and don't know how to be humble and humble as a valley, it doesn't mean that others don't have a top hat or understand humility like a valley.

Ignoring Jian Ye's shouting at all, he looked at Lin Shuying and said intently: "I remember, I once talked about the Song **** system with the emperor, and the emperor praised it again and again, thinking that the Song State spent money to hire the people, so as to consciously cultivate and form soldiers who make a living from war, it is very prescient, in the near future, the princes and countries, I am afraid that no one can stop the Song State soldiers."

Of course, if the Song State hires the Song people, this military system is indeed very wonderful, and it has nothing to do with the Yan ** Gong system, however, in the Song Army, there is a serious problem, there are too many people in the Crazy Yi Clan, so many that they almost control the lower levels of the Song Army, at present, the Crazy Yi Clan is loyal to the Song State, but, I just say that one day, the Crazy Yi will have the heart to build a country, and they will not fight for the Song State. At that time, the Song State not only did not have the strength to solve the rebellion of the Crazy Yi Clan, but also lost the strength to compete with the princes and other countries.

I think, if there are vassal states take the opportunity to wave their troops to attack the Song Dynasty, not to mention, such a thing, not without precedent, when Emperor Wu of Haotian, convened the outside of the Saiwai tribe, the establishment of the Flying Tiger Iron Guard, the era of Emperor Wu, the Flying Fox Iron Guard made great achievements, after the era of Emperor Wu, no one can control the Flying Tiger Iron Guard, the other party returned to the outside of the Saiwai, regardless of the former Rong people, the current Donghu, the Xiongnu, all become the fierce enemies of the northern princes.

If Song Guo doesn't correct this problem, hehe, hehe.." Situ didn't finish speaking, but Lin Shuying was already clear.

Lin Shuying stared at Situ, staring at him deadly, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time, what kind of person is this, even the problems in the Song Kingdom can be seen.

Indeed, the Crazy Yi people accounted for a large proportion of the Song army, almost more than 50 percent, although the Crazy Yi have always been loyal to the Song State for a hundred years, but they have never integrated into the Song State, and the place where the Crazy Yi people live, there is a kind of country within the Song State, and the Song courtiers cannot go there at all, and the other party will not follow the customs and laws of the Song State.

At present, there is no intention of rebellion, everything is safe and sound, and he is still the most powerful soldier in the Song army.

Once the heart of rebellion sprouts, these former Song dependents will become the executioners who buried the Song State in the blink of an eye, and at that time, the Song State was almost helpless except to use foreign troops to quell the rebellion.

"Listening to your words, it's better than reading a book for ten years, what Situ said, every sentence is beautiful, making people ponder from the bottom of their hearts, I will deal with this matter immediately, and I will not let it cause trouble." Lin Shuying said, Meng Kuo had reminded her of the matter of the Crazy Yi Clan, but it was not as detailed as what Situ said, and she didn't take it seriously at the time, today, listening to what Situ said, she immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

If the proportion of the Mad Yi in the army is not expanded, if the Mad Yi is allowed to expand in the Song army, even one day, the Song State will lift a stone and hit itself in the foot.

At that time, the glory and wealth in front of you will instantly come to naught and disappear.

The Song people, who have no fighting spirit, will only watch the efforts of the Song Kingdom for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, dissipate into the dust of history.

At this moment, Lin Shuying no longer had the intention of embarrassing Situ, on the contrary, with an extremely pious and respectful attitude, she asked: "Situ, let's talk about the third question, I can't wait." ”

Situ didn't pretend to be angry, and said bluntly: "Redundant officials, redundant soldiers." Redundant officials, the Song Dynasty is too large, the organization is bloated, the employment is too indiscriminate, the order is out of several doors, and the work efficiency is low.

Redundant soldiers, there are very few people in the Song Kingdom who really go to the front line, but there are a lot of county soldiers, far exceeding the number of combat soldiers, I don't know why the Song Kingdom has so many idlers.

Redundant officials, redundant soldiers, although it will not lead to the extinction of the Song State, in the long run, but it will also make the Song State become invigorous, and spend a lot of money in vain, at present, the Song State is rich and has the ability to support, what should the Song State do when it is poor? ”

This problem, in addition to the fact that Zheng Liang and the two countries have basically solved the law, the rest of the country, only Yan State has used thunderous momentum to eradicate the court moths with iron-blooded means, and the means are too strong, resulting in the fact that to this day, Yan State is still insufficient officials.

The Song State was just the opposite, because it was too prosperous, many departments overlapped, many counties and prefectures, and many idle soldiers were raised, and these people, who did not go to the battlefield, but spent the same money and food, because there were more of them and the expenses were greater.

It is also the wealth of the Song Kingdom, and there is a steady stream of silver for it to squander, if the problem of redundant officials and redundant soldiers occurs in the Yan Kingdom, I am afraid that the Yan Kingdom will be dragged down long ago.

"Not bad, not bad, Situ, Lin Feng has you, it's really heaven's help!" Lin Shuying sighed and said, the three questions that Situ said are all aimed at the weakness of the Song Kingdom, and they are all core things, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Kingdom, don't say that there is a way to solve it, I didn't realize such a problem before, it is even more terrifying.

At this moment, she was slightly envious and jealous of Lin Feng in her heart, and the little Yanguo was able to tolerate such a talent as Situ, which was simply a tyrannical thing.

"Empress Xie, Situ's talent is far from being comparable to the emperor." Situ Dao: "Your Majesty, should we talk about exchanging land in other places?" ”
