Cai Qu has been staying in his hometown for several years, his hometown is in Quanzhou, although in the face of the high pressure of the old party, he did not dare to speak, but it did not prevent him from listening with his ears and seeing with his eyes, so he knew more clearly, and immediately replied that the reason had nothing to do with the economy this year, mainly because the price of silk fell in the past few years, the economy was corrupted, and various industries withered, which led to the transfer of money and silk to the fields again by various powerful and businessmen, and the merger became more and more serious.

In order to make up for their losses, some powerful people continue to wreak havoc on the annexation of farmland and raise land rents, and even if the economy improves this year, the life of these low-level tenant farmers is still very difficult. And the country is indeed too densely populated.

Therefore, the imperial court did not need to interfere with the migration of the people, not to mention the help of the other side to the Song Dynasty, with the migration of a large number of tenant farmers, it could relieve the pressure of dense population, and it could also force Haoqiang to relax the land rent, which was conducive to the peace of the country.

In fact, Wang Ju said these truths a long time ago, but the little emperor had just become in power, and Cai did have to say it again. For Wang Ju, Zhao Xu trusted him more than his father, but he issued an edict to ask Wang Ju to come back, but Wang Ju refused on the other side.

In the second year of Shaosheng, Mogusi was very difficult at this time, and the Song Dynasty decisively provided him with a large number of weapons and materials, but it could not restore the decline of Mogus.

In the third year of Shaosheng, after three years of rest and recuperation, the Song Dynasty suddenly sent troops to regain the Wudu Army and Montenegro.

The Khitan sent an envoy to ask, Zhao Xu was not polite, and in turn asked why the Liao State tore up the peace treaty, and it was not the first time, when the Song and Xia wars, the Liao State sent envoys to extort, when the Xining drought occurred, the Liao State sent envoys to extort, and when the Yonghe country was in chaos, the Liao State sent envoys to extort, and invaded the boundary between Fengzhou and Shengzhou, and forcibly exiled thousands of Song Dynasty immigrants to other places, life and death are unknown.

In this case, if you want to fight, you will fight.

After the negotiations, Zhao Xu declared war with the Liao State, and at the same time stopped the so-called peace coin.

However, the Liao envoy did not perceive the crisis and continued to speak violently.

This is an all-out war, some ministers are against it, and even the Gao Cao family has jumped out.

In fact, Zhao Xu was also very dissatisfied with Cao Gao's two families, but because he was a relative of the emperor, Zhao Xu had to endure it, and now it was just right that the imperial court immediately sent someone to investigate some of Cao Gao's two industries, and all of them were confiscated, and no one of Cao Gao's two families was dealt with.

But this is a signal, although you are royal, you are too greedy...... So under the inventory of the following calendars, the two families also gradually came to the end.

At the same time, some of the old party's small shrimps were also sorted out, and they took this opportunity to degrade to the south one by one. The south is a good place, so stay over there.

So there was no more opposition in the court.

In the fourth year of Shaosheng, the Song Dynasty officially announced the recovery of the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the two countries became hostile. However, the Liao State suffered from two rebellions, one in the east and one in the west, which led to a decline in national strength, and they faced a terrible opponent, Zhang Qi, who had fully grown up. The two countries fought on many battlefields, and the Liao army suffered repeated defeats, but Zhang Kai fought steadily, only recovering the Yizhou region, but also taking the Bauhinia Pass and the Flying Fox Pass, so that the front line between Hebei and Hedong could be opened.

In the fifth year of Shaosheng, the Goryeo people heard the relevant news, took advantage of the fire to loot, and sent troops to the Liao State, intending to take the opportunity to take the southern Liaoning region and restore the territory of Goguryeo.

At this time, Wang Ju wrote a letter from the other side, saying that the Goryeo people were not credible, in order to contain the Liao State, the Song Dynasty half sold and half sent, almost gave a large number of armor to the Goryeo people, and the first year of Shuozheng gave the Goryeo people a lot of benefits, but the Goryeo people from the Song Dynasty on the one hand, while eye-browning with the Liao State, this made Wang Ju disgusted for a long time.

The Song Dynasty also listened to Wang Ju's advice, stopped using troops, and then sent an envoy to renegotiate peace with the Liao State, and the two countries redivided the territory, Yizhou and Feihu County must be ceded to the Song Dynasty, of course, the peace currency will not be given, the Liao State does not agree, and the two countries begin to fight again.

In the sixth year of Shaosheng, the Liao State sent troops to Goryeo, and in the autumn Goryeo surrendered, and the Liao army returned. The Song Dynasty allocated a large amount of money to build nearly a thousand miles of "railways" on the northern front, which was the technology of the other side in Shen Kuo technology again, each locomotive pulled up to 70 tons, from 40 tons to 70 tons, it was already a very remarkable progress, involving all aspects of technology, the other side handed them over to the Song Dynasty.

In the seventh year of Shaosheng, Mogusi was defeated, he himself was captured alive by Liao, and executed by death, Lu Hui withdrew from Liaodong with his subordinates, but because of the continuous war, Liaoguo has been full of holes. In the same year, the other side provided another technology to the Song Dynasty, that is, the musket, which was not a very advanced rifle, but it was a real flintlock pistol, and it was a flintlock pistol with relatively mature technology. So the Song Dynasty issued an edict to manufacture and equip on a large scale.

In the eighth year of Shaosheng, the Song Dynasty once again used troops to the Liao State, and Zhang Qi fought steadily, first taking Zhuozhou, and then besieging Youzhou, intending to encircle and send reinforcements. The Liao State was decisively fooled and sent two large armies to come to the rescue, Zhang Ji let Zhi Ke be suitable for victory to block the later reinforcements of the Liao Mountain, and then sent the main army to meet the Liao army in the Baiyu River in the northeast of Lu County. In this battle, under the command of Zhang Kai, coupled with all kinds of sharp new weapons of the Song army, nearly 100,000 Liao troops were killed and captured. Then the Song army turned westward and pursued the reinforcements from the Liao State on the western route all the way.

After receiving the good news from the East Route Army, the Song Dynasty Hedong Road and Hexi Zhulu armies assembled and launched another attack on Liaoguo Mountain.

In August of the eighth year of Shaosheng, Youzhou surrendered to the Song Dynasty. This battle lasted until the summer of the ninth year of Shaosheng, but because of the advent of the railway, the Song Dynasty was able to easily transport supplies to the front, so after several general battles, the Liao State had to withdraw from Guannai, and in September of this year, the Song Dynasty officially recovered all the Yanyun region. Not only the Yanyun region, but also the Dongsheng Prefecture outside the Guan, the southern area of Yinshan in Yunnei Prefecture, the southern part of Jiashan in Fengzhou of Liao, and Dezhou of Liaoguo in the north of Yunzhou were also taken by the Song Dynasty. And after repeated failures, the Liao State was already in decline, and even feared the pressure of the Song Dynasty, so it had to turn its political center to Shangjing.

However, the Song Dynasty did not operate to the north, although the emergence of gunpowder, flintlock pistols and railways allowed the Song Dynasty to operate farther territories, but the military and civilians also had to recuperate.

Although the Song Dynasty weapons and armor are more advanced now, the current technology still cannot guarantee that the Han army will have an overwhelming advantage over the nomadic army, at least the yellow powder weapon has not been successfully developed on the other side.

Therefore, the Song Dynasty stopped to appease the people, and then built the Great Wall and fort with the help of the Yinshan terrain.

The Yellow River has been twisting and turning, if according to the original Wang Ju plan, first govern the river workers, and then cut down the Liao State, and now the Yanyun area has been recovered, the river workers must be on the agenda.

But Yan Yun finally returned to the embrace of the Central Plains, so Zhao Xu granted amnesty to the world.

The people also rejoiced when they heard it, a simple truth, I built a house, which can shelter from wind and rain and prevent theft, but this gate is always occupied by a wicked person, can the family have a sense of security?

This is like the Celestial Empire, why the Celestial Empire endured some of Burma's actions, not for the oil pipeline, but really helpless, because Singapore is the vanguard of anti-China, its hatefulness is far greater than Vietnam, almost on a par with the Japanese state, once the war starts, this small country will inevitably cooperate with the United States to block the Malacca shipping lane.

Compared with the Central Plains Dynasty, the status of the Yanyun region is more important than the Strait of Malacca, or the Ming Dynasty, what is the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty? If it weren't for Li Zicheng, the Qing Dynasty would not have been able to successfully enter the customs for a thousand years!

Whether the Song Dynasty will restore the majesty of the Han and Tang dynasties in the future, the people don't care, at least now they finally have a sense of security.

Zhao Xu made a great contribution, he listed Wang Ju as the first, and no one questioned it, although Wang Ju was always on the other side.

followed by Zhang Dan, Zhang Qi is behind him, but no one questions it.

Cai Qu passed away a few years ago, and Zhang Dian became the country's prime minister. In the past few years, because of the continuous war, Chenguang has not recovered to the point of the first year of Shuozheng, but with the efforts of Zhang Dian and Zhang Shangying, the Song Dynasty did not bring a heavy burden to the people because of the war, at least comparable to the early years of Yuanfeng. In addition, the Song Dynasty has not forbidden the people to move to the other side, and the number of desperately poor people has always maintained a very low proportion, and this good rear is the biggest guarantee for the recovery of the Yanyun area.

However, everyone ignored one point, and it was only at this time that the struggle between Wang Ju and Wen Yanbo, Sima Guang and others was declared over, and some old parties were forever nailed to the pillar of shame in the annals of history, and they could never turn over.

…………

"The official family is out," the concubine said.

Wang Ju raised his head and looked at the Xuande Gate Tower, a large group of people walked out of it, a little far away, and he couldn't see the faces of everyone on it clearly, but the yellow clothes in the middle were very eye-catching.

It should be okay, although it is not as burly as Wang Ju's body, but at least it can be compared with Zhao Ji when he was young.

This is good news, if there is no accident, with this body, Zhao Xu can also live to be forty or fifty years old, so boiling, he can also boil the Xiang family in the palace to death.

There is another piece of good news, Zhao Xu has a son born safely, and survived, now he is four years old, his mother Di is very low-key in the palace, it is rumored that Di is doing well in the harem, very simple, and she has three mothers, but two mothers-in-law in the palace, so Di Shi has been circling between the two mothers-in-law, and there has not been much conflict, with Xiang's character, in fact, it is really not easy.

So with such parents, when this child grows up, I believe it will not be too evil. At least the future of the Song Dynasty has nothing to do with Zhao Ji.

Zhao Xu seemed to feel something on the city tower, and said: "I feel that the Taibao is coming." ”

Zhang Shangying smiled and said, "If Your Majesty misses the Taibao, then issue another edict and let him return to the Central Plains." ”

But he thought in his heart that even if he issued an edict, Wang Zi'an would not return to the Central Plains. However, he and everyone thought that Zhao Xu missed Wang Ju, so he said this, Shengshi, can't share it with kind people, can you not regret it?

But everyone didn't eat it, not to mention Wang Ju's contributions, and now the prosperity of the Song Dynasty was almost all created by Wang Ju.

And if it weren't for Wang Ju's previous teachings, who repeatedly admonished Zhao Xu to forbear, everyone doubted whether Zhao Xu could keep the throne during Yonghe.

And I heard that the imperial court recovered Yanyun, and the other side offered Wang Ju's gift, "Tang Xuanzong Benji", even now, the territory of the Song Dynasty is still far less than that of the Tang Dynasty, but unlike the Tang Dynasty, the territory controlled by the Song Dynasty is less than one-tenth of the area of the fetter area, and most of the territory controlled by the Tang Dynasty is the fetter area. Therefore, to a certain extent, now the Song Dynasty is comparable to the Tang Dynasty, Wang Ju sent Tang Xuanzong Benji, the intention was to warn Zhao Xu not to learn from the Tang Xuanzong in his later years, because the Tang Dynasty became rich and powerful, and got carried away and neglected political affairs, which led to the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion.

When many ministers saw this gift, they all said that they were good.

Wang Ju is staying on the other side again, and he will not compete with them for power and profit, so everyone is full of worship for Wang Ju.

Zhao Xu also thought that he was thinking crankily, and he was a little dazed, but the previous scenes appeared in his mind.

In the Elite Pavilion:

"The officials who can be quickly promoted have some outstanding performances, of course, some officials rely on the crooked ramp of the blink and so on, it can't be counted. However, the officials who are normally promoted must have some special political achievements, such as loving the people, establishing education, moralization, economy, military, farmland and water conservancy, or others. Then the court deliberately transferred them to their good official positions as officials, and it can be seen whether he is really good at this aspect, and it is also a process of further polishing. ”

"In this way, the country will get talents from all sides, and then according to their talents, put them in the right position, and all aspects will be able to govern greatly."

"It's still hard......"

"Of course, it is very difficult for a parent to make the whole family harmonious and prosperous, and Da Song is a super family composed of 20 million small families. Your Royal Highness, this is not something you can ponder for the time being, and the minister will talk about the way of Han Gaozu again. ”

Royal Residence:

"I saw Your Majesty yesterday, and my body is safe and sound, but the Minister will go to the other side soon, so just in case...... At that time, please remember two words, forbearance. It's really not good, let's look at the relevant history books of Tang Gaozong and Emperor Wei Wen before they ascended the throne. ”

"Father's ......"

"Your Highness, don't worry, the minister has said many times that Your Majesty's body is very important, and your body is also important. Why it matters, please come with me. ”

"Taibao brought me here, do you want to say that Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road?"

……

"There is no one in the world who is not bustling for fame and fortune, just like the minister, not for profit, at least for fame, but because the minister has been in a high position for a long time, the influence is far-reaching, not only the minister alone, but also a large group of people behind, even if it comes to that step, the minister does not want to do anything, in case the following group of people want to do, or someone does, how can the minister deal with himself? Therefore, retreating to the other side is the way to start and finish. ”

In that alley:

"Dalang, good job, but do you know why I asked you to do this?"

"Teacher, I don't know."

"You can see this wish as a dream, if this dream is just a piece of sweet cake, a new bow, a pair of bow shoes, a new clothes, it is easy to realize, but this dream is a big general, it is difficult to achieve, one must have opportunities, two must work hard, ten times harder than ordinary people, three must dare to fight with the enemy bloodily, four must also have talent, in order to stand out from hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops, become a famous general. This is only a general, if this dream ......"

"Your Highness, this dream is to create a powerful country in the future, and how difficult it will be to make hundreds of millions of people live and work in peace and contentment, and make enemy countries fearful. Just like your father, the emperor, has worked hard all his life, but he has not yet won Western Xia, and he is still afraid of the Khitan. Your Highness, do you understand what I mean? ”

……

"Your Highness, what have you learned through this example?"

"Most people's dreams are ordinary, so there are a lot of mediocre people."

"That's right, there's more."

"If you want to be extraordinary in the future, you must have big dreams when you are a teenager, so Zhuangzi said, the bird's nest knows the ambition of the bird."

"Your Highness is right, but why does the minister call it a dream instead of an ideal?"

"It's not easy to make a difference in your life. Just as there are millions of scholars in our dynasty, there are hundreds of thousands of scholars who participate in the imperial examinations every year. They all want to be admitted to the Jinshi, but in fact, we only admit two or three hundred Jinshi in each session, even if Renzong is in the time, the imperial examination is released, and the number of people in one session will not exceed 1,000 with the addition of Enke and Zhuke. There is also that young man's dream, which is to be a great general, and the minister can understand it this way, his general mostly refers to a general, but I have hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers, but more than 300 generals, plus other high-ranking military ministers, but only 500 people. So it's extremely difficult to achieve this kind of dream, Your Highness, do you remember Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao? ”

"Remember, thief!"

"They are indeed Han thieves, but they don't defect to Western Xia and continue to stay in our dynasty, can our dynasty give them their talents?"

"History books say that talented people will eventually come out of their pockets, of course, that kind of rare talents, no matter what system, what kind of environment, will eventually come out of the bag, but first-class talents may not have that ability, since ancient times, there are too many people who have not met too many! Even if it was a talent like Han Xin, if he hadn't met Xiao He, he would have been lost to everyone. But how many talents like Han Xin can there be today? ”

"If you want to realize your dreams, if you don't have enough qualifications, no matter how hard you work, you can't achieve your dreams, but with talent, without hard work, you can't achieve your dreams. However, with talent and hard work, there is no opportunity, and you can't realize your dreams. It's too hard...... Just like your father and the ministers, they all want to work hard for the rise of the Great Song Dynasty, Your Majesty is the king of a country, the king of the world, the minister is the ruler of the dynasty, and you have to meet Your Majesty's weight, but that's it, in internal affairs, Your Majesty and the ministers dare not deeply touch and merge, and in martial arts, they dare not say that they will recover Yanyun. But all the way to the present, how bitter is Your Majesty......"

"By the way, Jiefu wrote an article called Hurt Zhongyong."

"Your Highness, yes, that Zhong Yong is the best example, he has talent, but if he doesn't work hard, he won't be able to pass the first level, but even with hard work, he may not be able to do anything in the future, and he still needs opportunities. But with the opportunity, we have to face the next hurdle and persevere! Without perseverance, those who fell early were like Emperor Yang of Sui, and those who fell late were like Emperor Tang Ming. ”

"A year's plan is like a valley of trees; A ten-year plan is like a tree; A lifelong plan, is it better than a tree? ”

"Yes, ten years of trees, a hundred years of people."

Although many years have passed, these earnest teachings have always echoed in his ears, making him feel warm and nostalgic.

Looking at the people shouting from the mountains below, Zhao Xu suddenly muttered: "Teacher, I really miss you." ”

Wang Ju couldn't hear it, he looked left and right, the square in front of Xuande Gate was crowded with dense crowds, singing and dancing, and many people kept shouting long live.

He smiled and said, "Let's go." ”

When he came back this time, it was indeed a family that had left the Central Plains for too long, and they all wanted to come back to have a look, and they also wanted to marry the little lady of the Li family back, but he did a very low-key job in this line, and the local government did not know the news of his return.

Then I heard that the imperial court intended to hold a grand lantern festival in front of Xuande Gate during the Lantern Festival, so a large family came to the capital again.

A large group of people gradually squeezed out of the crowd, and suddenly there was some roar behind them.

Wang Ju turned his head and saw that countless brilliant fireworks rose into the sky, as if thousands of trees and flowers were blooming in the night sky. The wind blows in early spring, sending a burst of intoxicating fragrance......
