When the news reached Zhongshu, Zhongshu was discussing who to replace Zhang Kai. After Wang Ju came back, he wrote to ask Zhang Kai, did you have anything to do over there, if you did it, come to the northwest quickly. Zhang Kai also replied, there are still rebellions in some areas, but it is not a problem, if the court needs me, I can also be transferred back.

It's too far away, so it comes and goes, and the letter only reached Wang Ju today.

But the problem is here, Zhang Kai is transferred back, in the future, Dali will divide everything into two, Yunnan East Road, Yunnan West Road, Wang Ju has no objection, because all this, although slightly unfavorable to the overall scheduling, but it is conducive to washing away the nostalgia of the people of Dali for the homeland, and the area of Dali is indeed too large.

And the imperial court agreed, the special case of Dali, that is, the official management officials at the first level, not as in other regions, only the Department of Establishment, the Department of Promotion, the Department of Transport, and the Department of Criminal Prisons. Therefore, everything is two, and then use the liuguan system, it will avoid the emergence of a second An Lushan.

However, who to use as the chief officer of the two roads, everyone felt a headache.

This requires three conditions, the first is more familiar with the situation in the south, the second must love the people, the head is difficult, in this ten years, the election of officials on these two roads must be cautious, until most of the people recognize the Song Dynasty, the two roads can be said to really belong to the territory of the Song Dynasty. There is another condition, that is, a little knowledge of military affairs.

For example, the imperial court asked Miao Shizhong to replace Liu Yi, and asked Liu Yi to replace Zhang Dian to preside over the affairs of Jiaozhi Road, which are two very good candidates.

Zhang Qi said: "How is Zhu Chuping in Qiongzhou? ”

"Zhang Gong, Zhu Zhizhou has no problem in government affairs and love for the people, but he doesn't know the military. If Zhu Zhizhou can do it. Then Ge Shaohua can also be competent. ”

"That's it. It's hard to choose two people. Lao Wang said embarrassedly.

"Actually, there are three more candidates, but it's impossible."

"Who?"

"Zhang Shilang, Xu Shilang, Xiong Shilang."

Zhang Wang and the others were happy, how could this be possible. One is a servant under the door, one is a waiter in the Ministry of War, and the other is a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and he went to Yunnan. That's not called office, but debasement, the three of them are not wrong, how did the court demote them to Yunnan Road as officials for no reason?

"Actually, if it weren't for this military, the old man would have a candidate in his heart." Lao Wang said.

"Who?"

"Xie Lin, a native of Fujian, originally served as the county governor of Huichang, and later moved to Shishou Zhi County due to his political achievements, and the people of Shishou County suffered from the river water, and this person climbed the Yellow Mountain in Jingzhou (not the Yellow Mountain in Anhui). If I don't cure the floods of this river, I will be buried on the top of this mountain when I die. The people were moved. The whole county worked together to stack stone barriers, and the flood was finally resolved, so the local people wept and called Xie Gong Dike. The imperial court rewarded his merits and let him know Jingzhou. ”

In fact, there were really many good officials in the Song Dynasty, but because they couldn't talk about it, they couldn't take the position.

However, although he is a good official, he may not be competent to go to Yunnan Lianglu, because I don't know if he will be in charge of the army.

"I also have a candidate in mind, but I can't bear it." Wang Ju said.

Lao Wang asked, "Who?" ”

"The nephew of the seed, the son of the seed of the master."

This person is serving as the official of Xizhou, and he can be literate and martial, and he studied under Zhang Zai, and he can be regarded as Wang Ju's brother.

However, if you want to use troops in Western Xia, can these generals who can fight be placed in the south?

Lao Wang said: "It's really not good, let him be temporarily in office first, anyway, there are still several years in Western Xia, but the two roads in Yunnan must have a smooth transition in these years." ”

"So be it, but what about one more candidate?"

"Zi'an, when it comes to the Dao of the Seed Master, the old man thinks of another person, how about Lu Dazhong?"

Lu Dazhong is also half a student of Zhang Zaixiao, although he has never been to the south, but he has served in the border area for a long time, and there is not much problem in government affairs and love for the people.

But does Lu Dazhong understand military affairs? Wang Ju was skeptical.

But what to do? There are no other good candidates, so they can only choose these two people, so they take the seed master road as the Yunnan West Road to pacify the envoy and the governor of Dali, and take Lu Dazhong as the envoy of the Yunnan East Road and the governor of Kunming, but as a precaution, Wang Ju issued an edict to take Miao Lu and Yao Xiong as the head of the two horse infantry armies, both of whom participated in the battle of pacifying Jiaozhi and Dali with Wang Ju, and are extremely familiar with the situation over there.

This kind of caution is not only Wang Ju, but others are also careful, after all, everyone has been scared of several major uprisings in Bashu, so even without Wang Ju, everyone is very attentive to these newly annexed regional election officials.

It's just that Wang Ju also paid attention to the military aspect, but he didn't expect it to really play an important role.

The person in charge of Guangnan West Road is Miao Shizhong, if you have a little military talent, this person is.

Guo Kui's troops were stationed in Fuliangjiang, and they did not enter for a long time, Miao Shizhong was the deputy envoy of Guangnan West Road at that time, and he also went south with the army, of course, he did not have the right to speak, but he said: "Wang Shi (referring to Guo Kui) has no intention of entering, and the thief will come from the middle road. ”

Sure enough, after Guo Kui withdrew his army, Jiaozhi sent an army to follow from the upper class, and after Tao Bidian, because of Miao Shizhong's reminder, the three armies were on alert, and Jiaozhi's army fled back with a small setback. However, when Wang Ju went south, Miao Shizhong had already been transferred to the Zizhou Road transfer envoy, and the beggar brother betrayed, and the imperial court sent Han Cunbao to crusade. Han Cunbaoxing moved the crowd away, but he was afraid that he couldn't, Miao Shizhong was also in the army, so he said, the old teacher, the soldiers are exposed, and they are not good people.

Either we will fight, or we will withdraw the three armies, and why will we stay on the front line?

Han Cunbao didn't listen, and finally it became a joke, Zhao Ji was furious and beheaded Han Cunbao.

At that time, Wang Ju had already entered Beijing, but Wang Ju did not object.

You can treat the generals well, but the generals are afraid of death, do they still need to be treated well?

However, it led to a story, saying that Su Dongpo's hometown has a chivalrous man named Chaogu, who likes martial arts since he was a child, and is good friends with Han Cunbao, this time he also went south with Han Cunbao to beg for his brother, Han Cunbao was cowardly, and the imperial court sent an envoy to deal with it, Han Cunbao heard the wind from somewhere, so he said to Chaogu, I am a martial artist in Jingyuan, there is no pity to die, but my wife will inevitably starve and freeze, and now I have hundreds of taels of silver in my pocket, please bring them to them.

Chaogu agreed, but he didn't expect him to be on the punishment list this time. So Chaogu secretly came to Han Cunbao's house. Give the silver to Han Cunbao's family. Then he fled to Jianghuai to avoid being captured by the imperial court.

In history, Xiao Su was degraded to Xunzhou, Da Su was degraded to Changhua, Hainan, Chao Gu deliberately went to Xunzhou to visit Xiao Su, and then went to Hainan to visit Da Su, Xiao Su persuaded, Chao Gu did not listen, but the ship arrived in Xinhui, and his wallet was stolen by the barbarian thief. This thief was caught in Xinzhou, and Chaogu was not simple, so he chased all the way to Xinzhou with this thief, but Chaogu was old at that time, seventy-three years old, and he died of illness all the way. Therefore, Xiao Su sighed and wrote a "Biography of Chaogu".

However, because of this Chaogu biography, Wang Ju noticed it, so he used the authority of the Chinese book. Forgiveness of the sins of Nest Valley. Then you know, the eldest princess's fornication case broke out......

Han Cunbao killed. The court replaced him with Lin Guang, begged the younger brother to surrender, and then fled, the soldiers looked at each other, we are not Han Cunbao, the court don't behead us.

So sometimes killing people is not necessarily a bad thing.

Lin Guang had no choice but to say, since the thief is lost, we will immediately chase after it.

Miao Shizhong said that the Son of Heaven paid 100,000 people, how could he be brave with a death, and now he is in a different realm, and it will change and be unpredictable.

You can't blindly chase after it like this.

Lin Guangwu, in the end, stopped the pursuers urgently, and the whole army advanced, Zhang Kai sent reinforcements to arrive, and the two sides attacked, breaking the beggar brother. Then he killed many heroes who rebelled with his beggar brothers, learned from Wang Ju's field house, changed the land and returned to the stream, and officially included the vast area of the Xishui River in the east and the Chishui River in the south into the territory of the Song Dynasty, and of course, it also further ensured the safety of Wumeng Road.

So Miao Shizhong moved to Guizhou Zhizhou because of his merits.

After he arrived in Guizhou, he was quiet and inactive, and with the foundation laid by Wang Ju, it was good to govern slowly, and there was no need to draw snakes.

However, some barbarian leaders in Qianzhou thought that Miao Shizhong was weak and could be bullied, and Zhang Qi, who had erected a prestige in the south in Dali in recent years, was also transferred, and Lu Dazhong was also mainly quiet, and with the governance of the past few years, the situation in Pu'an Prefecture has improved.

So these barbarians became bold, gathered countless barbarians, and invaded Pu'an Prefecture coldly, Zhizhou Zhoubu was killed, hundreds of people were killed, and the grain in the state warehouse was also looted.

Miao Shizhong was furious and asked Lü Dazhong to assist, Lü Dazhong asked Miao Lu to lead his troops to cooperate with the town of Guangnan West Road to fight against Qianzhou Man, Miao Lu designed, saying that the imperial court also implemented the banking department on Yunnan Road, and sent many officers and soldiers to escort a large amount of gold, silver and silk over.

In this life, the barbarians of all the barbarians were lured to Panshui together, and in a canyon, nearly 10,000 barbarians were wiped out. With the help of the great victory, the two routes marched eastward, conquering the northeast and southeast of Puning, Qingzhou, Juzhou, Zhuangzhou, Jinzhou, Nanning, Hewuzhou, Xiangzhou, and Xunzhou, and more than half of the region carried out the policy of changing the land and returning it to the river, and vividly reduced the area of this country by one-sixth to one-seventh of the area of China.

The war and repression continued until March next year, when it ended.

However, the significance of this battle was not trivial, and the remaining Zhuyi in the southwest successively sent their leaders as representatives to Beijing to serve Chengcheng, and at the same time, the core area of the southwest Yi, Juzhou, was also incorporated into the governance of the Song Dynasty court.

However, because of the courageous progress of these two people, the imperial court spent more than 10 million yuan and silk, but it was okay not to take the bonds, and it didn't matter if the people in this area lived or died, but if they took it, they couldn't care about it, Wang Ju had no choice but to allocate another 3 million yuan and silk with a smile, so that Miao Shizhong took the officers and soldiers to build roads and water conservancy with the people, set up education, fund advanced agricultural tools to the people, and teach the people advanced farming methods.

And that's not all, at least in two or three years, the state will need to allocate some money one after another to improve this area.

In fact, this area is quite good, there are many big rivers, not only abundant resources, but also sandwiched between the original Dali and Guangnan, a little commercial contacts, so the atmosphere of civilization is relatively not so backward, if you go deeper, then I don't know how much silk to fill, in order to improve those areas.

Of course, this should not negate the significance of this great victory.

However, the performance of Miao Lu is still not as good as the performance of Seed Master Dao and Yao Xiong after next autumn......

Now Wang Ju doesn't think about that country China, a little headache, the center of gravity of the Song Dynasty is still in the north and northwest.

However, the focus is now on the banking division.

A series of policies revolve around the banking division.

At present, it is generally relatively smooth.

And in order to avoid being like Xining's change of law, it seems that all the scholars and doctors in the world are going to attack him in groups, Wang Ju deliberately used An Tao to be Zheng Xia, first got An Tao to Shaanzhou, and then used Zhu Chun's seemingly intentional or unintentional advice to "wake up" several loan sharks in Shaanzhou.

And what made people speechless was that Zhu Chun also shook his head seemingly kindly, the banking department is the general trend, don't let your loan sharks go anymore.

So until now, these squires have been locked up in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion, and they have not thought of Zhu Chun's role in the middle.

Then the squire provoked An Tao's combat effectiveness, and An Tao pulled Fu Bi and other Luoyang elders into the water.

Well, the contradictions were stimulated in advance, and the various evil deeds of these usury merchants were exploited, causing Fu Bi and others to oppose it, but it was inconvenient to oppose it.

However, at this moment, Fu Bi died.

In fact, Wang Ju can't be blamed, if it weren't for Wang Ju deliberately inviting the imperial doctor to go to treat Fu Bi, Fu Bi would have died half a month ago. Wang Ju doesn't know, but he just knows, who said to go to this reason?

Wang Ju said that if he didn't kill, he just didn't want to die, and if he didn't die, it wouldn't cause too much contradiction, so although Wang Ju didn't know that this rich man would die of illness, he still sent the imperial doctor to Luoyang, and sent an edict to comfort him, old man, you have to live for a while......

However, he was afraid of something, and the old man still died. At this time, regardless of whether Fu Bi died of illness or not, Wang Ju was going to get fishy!

Lao Wang said with some uneasiness: "Why did the rich prince pass away at this time? ”

If it drags on for a few more months, everyone knows that Fu Bi is seriously ill, and before Wang Ju comes back, Fu Bi will start to get sick, and it will have little to do with Wang Ju. However, it is not too early or too late, but to die at this time, isn't it disgusting?

It didn't take long for an impact.

On the third day of the Chang Dynasty, Li Qingchen, the secretary of the ministry, said: "Your Majesty, the Privy Council has been suspended for a long time, and it is finally inappropriate, and the minister thinks that an official should be sent to receive it." ”

"Li Qing's words are extremely true, the prince, write an edict when you go back, and take Han Zhen as the same person to know the affairs of the Privy Council."

In fact, in history, although the Song Dynasty placed the military department, Sun Gu still served as the secretary of the Privy Council, which was a matter of affairs, not an envoy, to indicate that military affairs began to transfer to the military department, so that the prime minister could understand military affairs and would not make mistakes in judgment.

But because of the dispute between Wu Nan, Zhao Ji wanted Wang Ju to come back, and euphemistically and secretly persuaded Sun Gu Zhishi, resulting in the Privy Council without a leader.

However, Wang Judu has been back for so long, and Zhao Ji still has no idea of banning the Privy Council, and it seems that he really wants to keep the Privy Council.

Therefore, Li Qingchen's proposal can't be said to be inappropriate, at least it can't continue to swing like this, but Wang Ju thought in his heart, now that Han Zhen has re-taken over the Privy Council, then the military affairs will be handled by the Privy Council or the Ministry of War?

Either continue to be the same as before, and the Privy Council will be hollowed out, or the Privy Council will be hollowed out again?

Thinking of this, he glanced at Xu Jiang, who was also at a loss.

But the question is not here, no matter how bad it is, is the whole Privy Council swinging badly?

The real question is why did Li Qingchen talk about the Privy Council at this time?

Sure enough, Li Qingchen said again: "Your Majesty, Fu Bixue has passed away. ”

Just these few words.

Wang Ju can't be impeached directly, because it was Fu Bi who made the first attack, and they came to Beijing with great momentum, and they also wanted to strangle Wang Ju to death. Not to mention the right and wrong of standing on the national standpoint, could it be that Fu Bi wants to strangle Wang Ju, and Wang Ju shouldn't fight back?

Even later, Wang Ju did it very politely, and persuaded Zhao Ji to give Fu Bi a written order, issued an edict to comfort, and sent the imperial doctor to Luoyang to treat Fu Bi.

What else is going on?

Therefore, Li Qingchen only said these few words, but the strength was just right.

Wang Ju sighed in his heart, in fact, I really want to win over these moderates of the old party, it seems that this time it is wishful thinking...... (To be continued.) )
