"Since you're here, let's rest for a while." Zhang Zai said.

The people of Gyeongju felt worthless, aggrieved, unfair, and uncomfortable for Wang Ju, but after Zhang Zai heard about it, he clearly knew that Wang Ju could not really resign and become a commoner. Today's officials are good emperors or bad emperors, but an emperor who wants to do something, wants to make a difference, can he really give his protégé to his home?

At most, how to deal with it in the end depends on the multi-party game.

However, Zhang Zai was also puzzled and asked, "Why do you want to offend Duke Wen?" ”

His own students themselves know that this student is eccentric, scheming, and has a long-term view of things.

So when I started to buy a bamboo paper workshop, I looked for friends, found friends from the Gao family, and then asked Wen Yanbo to write poems.

Now that Fu Bi has gone down, Han Qi is retired in Hebei, and Wen Yanbo has become a real boss in the court. Wang Ju's offense against Wen Yanbo is very irrational.

Wang Ju said: "Teacher, after the disciple's victory, I knew that there would be people in the court who were very dissatisfied, and I was even more worried that they would take the initiative to hand over that section of Hengshan, so they used some tricks. But at that time, I was thinking about dealing with Sima Guang. But he didn't want Sima Guang to be demoted by the emperor to Luoyang to repair books. Without Sima Guang coming forward, Duke Wen had to take the lead himself. And so it turned out. ”

"No wonder."

"But it doesn't matter, because the ideas are not the same, this conflict is only a matter of time."

"But you can't blame Gong Wen purely for it, some of the new laws of Jiefu Gong are really bad, just like the horse protection law that is being implemented now."

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, you can still see the cavalry of the Song Dynasty, especially the battle of Suicheng presided over by Li Jixuan, Wei Neng, Yang Si, Yang Liulang, Tian Min, and Qin Han. The Song army was almost all cavalry. So much so that this battle became a real cavalry battle.

The shadow of cavalry was also seen in several other great victories. The battle of Yanmen, Yang Ye's cavalry, the battle of Mancheng, the battle of Tanghe, and the battle of Xuhe were mostly achieved by the cooperation of cavalry and infantry.

However, later the cavalry seemed to disappear from the Song army, and even in the Battle of Gyeongju last year, Wang Ju did not use the cavalry like the Battle of Yanmen because of the small number of cavalry and many forbidden cavalry horsemanship. Singled out for use.

There are three reasons, the first is that Western Xia became independent and lost one of the most important sources of horses.

Article 2 Originally, the Song Dynasty was not densely populated, so the imperial court had enough land to purchase pastures, just like Guangping supervised the ranch to raise five or six thousand horses, occupying more than 15,000 hectares of fertile land in Xingzhao Sanzhou. No matter how much it costs, at least you can raise a good horse. However, with the increase of population, the various pastoral supervisors were gradually occupied by Haoqiang.

Article 3 The corruption of officials has gradually increased the cost of raising horses, and many horses are even raised because they are not responsible. Mortality has skyrocketed.

Wang Anshi launched the horse protection method.

Wulu Yiyong and Baojia (referring to Yiyong and Baoding) listen to their horses, and if they have more property, they are allowed to raise two horses. Horses are bought by the shepherd or money from the government, and no forced rationing is allowed. And just in case, the number is also limited, each of the five roads in Shaanxi shall not exceed 5,000 horses, and the boundary of Kaifeng Prefecture shall not exceed 3,000 horses.

Baojia and Yiyong can catch thieves while they are on horse, but they cannot exceed 300 li, and the Kaifeng Mansion is exempt from raising horses with 250 bundles of grain and grass, and they are also given money. Five-way horse breeding is exempt from annual changes and taxes (that is, harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes in addition to the two taxes).

Every ten households above the third class are guaranteed a guarantee, and if the horse raised by the policyholder dies, the full price will be compensated. Fourth- and fifth-class households are one for every ten households, and if they die, they will be compensated at half price. Every year, the government sends people to look at Chama's fatness.

Why do you want to do this, Ye Qingchen once checked that the shepherd raised 30,000 or 40,000 horses, occupied 90,000 hectares of land, spent millions of yuan every year, and also produced a large number of deaths.

Now the people raise horses, and only some harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes are exempted, which will save a lot of money in this year alone, and will not occupy the land.

Horses are contracted to households, and people do not dare to raise horses to death casually, so the mortality rate of horses will decrease.

Because it is the armor guards who raise horses, then there will be many volunteers and armor guards who will ride horses, and reserve a large number of spare cavalry for the imperial court.

Looks really good.

But can it be taken seriously? First of all, if you don't allow forcible matching, you can't take it seriously.

Secondly, the government gives horses or money, and it is a big problem, now it is well said, it is the boundary between Shaanxi Wulu and Kaifeng Prefecture, and finally Hebei also came, and then the government gave money, and the people must buy horses, and the price of horses rose rapidly throughout the country. But how much money did the government give?

In the end, it is up to the people to raise it, will the people use horses to plough the land and use horses to pull goods? So after the war horse has been carrying the weight for a long time, can it still run fast?

Wang Fuzhi also mentioned this problem.

He said that the new law of Xifeng, the people who have been harmed, Qingmiao, Fangtian, all lose, hand, and market, have not been long and gradually stopped; In the season of philosophy and emblem, the traitorous ministers said that they could strengthen the world and do it; As for the afterlife, people know that it is abuse, and there is no one who can say anything about it. Its Yuan You can not be abolished, so far, there is a name and reality is still unreformed, the righteousness is also, the armor is also; Those who have different names but the same reality are exempt from military service and protect horses; Among the few, the harm of protecting horses is the most intense.

That's too much to say.

However, because the horse protection law continued to the Ming Dynasty, it also made the people of the Ming Dynasty miserable, it looked very beautiful, and the people also looked forward to being exempt from taxes because of raising horses, so they raised horses one after another. But later, due to business problems, the stallion died, the pasture land was diverted, and the horse breeders were not exempted from service, and finally they were poor and starved and went into exile, all of which were harmed by the law of protecting horses.

Raising horses is not that the pasture land is not good enough, it is not that people can't raise it, and they can't raise it. It is because when there is a drought, there is no food and grass, and when there is a bad weather, he dies of disease!

There is only a government-run ranch where horses can live in groups, play and play! The official family has a special horse wrangler, who can treat diseases, and the official family has special forage materials, which can also have fodder to eat in dry years; Compared with raising horses privately, the yield and quality are several times different from each other.

From the Zhou Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, this system was used. Han and Tang could use so many chariots to defend the frontier without worrying about his scarcity, so why bother luring the common people into their predicament? The people who carried out this policy did not think that this was Wang Anshi's policy, nor that it was a policy that brought disaster to the country and the people, and they rushed to implement it one by one, and the disasters that extended to the point of no return. Therefore, the method of protecting horses is the worst!

Of course. He said it too violently.

But it also illustrates this problem, only the shepherds run by the government can raise war horses, why, because of the large area, so the horses can live in groups, can play and play, that is, there is enough space for them to run, but in the hands of the common people. If there is not enough space for them to run, and let them carry weight, even if they can't raise a dead horse, what will happen if this horse goes to the battlefield?

However, there are many problems.

The Han and Tang dynasties were able to raise horses because their capitals were all in the Chang'an area, and Guanzhong itself had pastures, even if it was the north and south Hetao, Hexi, it was not too far from Chang'an.

But the capital of the Song Dynasty was in Kaifeng. The capital of the Ming Dynasty was in Beijing, no matter where it was stocked. It is too far away from the capital, so how can the ruler rest assured that the powerful cavalry does not defend the capital? Therefore, this hurdle cannot be bypassed.

Therefore, including Wang Ju's Ma Ce, it is not the way to cure the root cause.

It can only be said that according to what he said, after the pastoral supervisor was contracted to the people to raise, the war horse was still a war horse.

After Wang Ju thought about it, he said: "Guan Jian is still collecting money." If the Seedlings Law does not have two dividends, it is not forcibly apportioned. If the exemption law does not forgive the money. If the Horse Protection Law really gives the people money to buy horses, and formulates more detailed regulations on compensation for dead horses, even if the horses raised by the people play a small role in the battlefield, it will indeed make some people know how to ride horses, and at the same time, these horses can cultivate the land and pull goods......"

Not to mention horses, even long-lived turtles will die.

If you don't ask what the reason is, if you ask the people to compensate the government for the money, there will be many incidents.

In fact, Wang Ju's plan is also clear at this point.

Isn't it just money, if Wang Ju has a way to bring more income to the country and remove the drawbacks of these changes, then there is no doubt that this change will be maintained and continued, and the Song Dynasty will develop more healthily.

But in that case, Wang Ju must become the leader of a certain faction, otherwise nothing can be done at this time.

Wang Ju stayed in Hengqu, specializing in teaching mathematics, and recruited fifty disciples from the local area, and these disciples Wang Ju would distribute food, clothing, and travel expenses, and give some salary. But they have to stay by Wang Ju's side all the time, specialize in mathematics, and assist Wang Ju in experiments, or calculations, like trigonometric functions, etc., must be measured repeatedly with clumsy methods, and then calculated one by one. Of course, with these numbers jù, as well as some primitive experimental numbers jù, Wang Ju's math book could continue to be compiled.

However, the capital was in chaos at this time.

Hou Yuanli returned to the capital and told him what had happened.

Zhao Ji was displeased at first.

This is also inevitable, since ancient times, Shinong industry and commerce, there are a few people who do not want to be officials, only when the king is particularly mediocre, there will be ministers to retire to the mountains and forests.

Many people have also written books, saying that Wang Ju is not only proud of his achievements, but also unruly and has no king.

Therefore, I implore Zhao Ji to severely punish him.

However, Wang Ju resigned from the official position, and committed that crime again, how to punish it severely?

And that's just what some people say.

Why do most of the descendants have two heroes in their hearts, one Yue Fei and the other is Zhuge Liang, not only the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, at least the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has nothing to do with Yue Fei, but their fate is full of tragedy. Needless to say, Yue Yanfei was tired and anxious, and died suddenly in Wuzhang Plain.

So everyone felt sympathy.

The same is true for Wang Ju, although he has not yet reached the point of doing his best, but for the sake of the Song Dynasty, he is also an important minister who risked his life to fight on the front line.

Well, Gyeongju won a great victory, made a great contribution, and did not get the reward he deserved, and in turn, 123 was ruined by a group of officials in the DPRK and China, and was forced to resign.

Especially some middle and low-level officials, they have not yet been involved in party disputes, so they all feel unfair for Wang Ju in their hearts. Some officials were bold and went to the court. Your Majesty, such a pillar of civil and military affairs, Western Xia is so poor, and he still spends 10,000 gold to buy the Great Wall of the country, why don't you shelter it?

Seeing these movements, Zhao Ji gradually woke up.

In fact, last year, Wang Ju said vaguely, the minister is doing things for His Majesty in front, but in the back, Your Majesty will protect your minister. After all, the first minister did not fall to the reformers, and the second did not fall to the old party, but he was a lonely minister and was vulnerable to attack.

And as time went by, Wang Shao also came up with a recital, saying that it was because of Wang Ju that his morale was a little low.

Last year, it was officially operated in Hehuang, but last year it was only in Guweizhou, which was later in the area of Gongzhou.

And this year, it is the official operation of Xizhou Hezhou, where is the base of Mu Zheng, this is the use of soldiers.

Now there is news that if the enemy is defeated, not only will it be useless, but if it is not done well, it will be a guilty person. Wang Ju is a scholar doctor, a second-class jinshi, and the court is not good at using punishment, but he is replaced by a military general.

So in this case, even if Wang Ju brought out a large number of generals and sharpened many soldiers, Wang Shao did not dare to use Bingxihe.

Therefore, Wang Shao vaguely hoped that Zhao Ji would issue an edict and give Wang Ju a fair.

This is Wang Ju's greatest reliance.

Whether Zhao Ji likes his resignation or not, as long as he uses Bing Xihe, he has to recover himself.

Zhao Ji had no choice but to write an edict in person, first slightly reprimanding Wang Ju, and then adding officials to Wang Ju, not bad officials, but actual officials and loose officials, who were promoted by two levels.

The envoy went to Yanzhou with the edict, but Wang Ju had already left from Yanzhou, and the envoy asked where he went, but he didn't ask, so he had to go to Zheng Baiqu Wang Ju's house. Still no one. As a last resort, he had to ask the local officials to inquire, and finally found out that Wang Ju had gone to Hengqu. Then the envoy came to Hengqu again with the edict.

Wang Ju received the edict, first said something to thank His Majesty, and then said: "Envoy, I have also been tired all these years and want to rest." This edict cannot be accepted by the ministers. ”

It is difficult to be promoted, but it is equally difficult to want Wang Ju to go back to be an official. I don't care about promotions!

Wang Ju refused to give the order, and the lieutenant envoy had no choice but to go back.

Wen Yanbo's face immediately became gloomy after hearing this.

Because he had a hunch that he was going to be in trouble.

However, the biggest trouble came, and thousands of old people slowly left Gyeongju with the book of the people, all the way east, all the way to the spotlight...... (To be continued......)
