In this day and age, there are a few people who are the most representative.

Wang Anshi, in his heart, the country is the main thing, and the people are the auxiliary.

Zhao Ji also has this psychology, so when the two met, they hit it off, but Zhao Ji also had to add a clause, strong monarchy, monarchy is the symbol of the country, so there is a check and balance.

Wang Ju is a bit similar, but the reality is still different, in Wang Ju's heart, it is mainly about the people, only the country is as just as possible, and the people are rich, so they will naturally support the country, and the status of the two, the former is even more important than the latter. Because the Song Dynasty is not like a ****, you can see many advanced countries, if the government is incompetent and allows the people to live a poor life, even if the country is closed again, sooner or later the people will learn the truth and eventually oppose the ruling class. But in the Song Dynasty, in addition to the Song Dynasty, there were so many countries that were richer? Therefore, this justice is much more important than prosperity, that is, the people do not suffer from the lack of wealth but suffer from inequality.

In fact, there is no distinction between the people and the state, because the state belongs to all the people, and all the people are the state.

However, the three have one thing in common, that is, this people, all the people of the country.

Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo are different, they believe that the state is for the ruling class, what is the ruling class, that is, including the emperor, scholars, and magnates, these people can be called the people, as for the common people...... That's ****.

The dignity and humility order that Wang Ju ridiculed is actually this.

Also, the party can represent the country and can govern the country, but how to govern the country...... Lead by example!

If the governance of the country is coupled with an official-oriented mentality, it is not called governance. It's called domination. So embezzlement and bribery. I have used my power for personal gain, I have filled my pockets, and I am content to enjoy it...... Then don't say anything.

Therefore, Wang Ju is very repulsive to this official-oriented thinking...... But he concealed it better, so it seemed that he was closer to Zhao Ji's thoughts.

Guan Jian is Wang Ju is different from Wang Anshi, Wang Anshi is more tough, and Wang Ju is constantly compromising...... In fact, everyone is wrong, Wang Anshi has always wanted to compromise in exchange for the success of the change. I just didn't find a good way to compromise. Wang Ju's compromise is an illusion, and he has never compromised at all in the general direction.

Guan Jian is Wang Ju is going down, it seems that he wants power, trust and support, but in fact, he has no nostalgia for power and wealth, the more at this time, just as Wang Jucai thought when he came back, the smaller Zhao Ju's suspicion was, the greater his guilt.

Guan Jian is Xiao Cheng's status is relatively low now, first a prostitute, and then a Xiao Cheng. What do you all want to do?

So much at a premium......

Well, the more Zhao Ji said, the more angry he became: "Bring wine with guests." The slight scented plum blossoms have passed, and the north wind is like a knife. Thinking about back then, the young man was chivalrous, and immediately crossed the sword, and the thief and enemy actually bent their waists.

It seems that the water is flowing for years, the wind and frost are washed, and the temples have been artemisia. Make an idler's tour, ten miles of red practice, such as a picturesque rainbow bridge.

That guy of you wrote it?

As an idler, is it really easy to change in the Great Song Dynasty in recent years? Even if he travels for a day, Wang Qing may not have that time! ”

Li Qingchen and the others were thinking in their hearts, it's over, it's over, this is Yanhe Palace, what good end can the emperor have if he cannons bombarded a person like this.

Wang Ju said: "Your Majesty, you are the ...... of the king"

A small person is not worth your big fire.

Only then did Zhao Ji stop and reprimand, and scolded Wang Zhen and Huang Lu, and the two ordered the guards to pull Xiao Cheng to the prison of Kaifeng Mansion.

can't deal with it immediately, so Xiao Cheng has to confess to the mastermind behind the scenes.

…………

Dozens of officials were incomprehensible, but they still came to the palace one after another.

According to the system, it is unruly for Wang Ju to call these 20 or so important bigwigs to a banquet in a private house.

But Wang Ju is going down, and what he says is national politics, so Wang Ju doesn't have such scruples.

Wang Ju stood at the door and welcomed these officials to the house one by one.

The rulers of the three provinces, the scholars of the six departments, the two scholars, the imperial history of Cheng Huang Lu, and Zhang Shangying. Nowadays, the position of the banking department is becoming more and more important, at least no less than that of the Chinese scholars.

But not only that, there are not many old guys in the future who will be in the world, so the pillars of the Great Song Dynasty are Zhang and Zhang.

The host sat down, and Wang Ju first arched his hand and said, "I'm tired of Gong Cai, I'm tired of you." ”

Therefore, classes are everywhere, and the others are just you, but Cai is indeed the nominal number one prime minister, and he has to say it deliberately.

Qiongniang made tea one by one.

Wang Ju stretched out his hand and said, "Please use tea." ”

Everyone took a sip, and Wang Ju said again: "I will introduce you to someone." ”

He clapped his hand, and a middle-aged man walked out of it, and Wang Ju said: "Cai Gong, he is the same villager as you, and he is also from Quanzhou, his name is Yan Weiqing, and his name is Ziyun." ”

"I've seen Cai Gong, I've seen Zhu Gong." Yan Weiqing respectfully saluted one by one.

Cai did give his hand slightly, which was considered a return of courtesy.

"Cai Gong, everyone, he just came back from the other side and brought good news, Ziyun, tell you about this good news to the princes."

"Princess, on the other side of the river, in a more distant place, two placer gold mines have been found one after another, and tens of thousands of taels of gold can be harvested every year."

Zhang Shangying's eyes lit up.

"Tianjue, what did you think of?"

"In this way, the other side can provide more gold and silver to the Great Song Dynasty."

For the sake of the banking department, the merchants on the other side of the bank drained the gold and silver on the other side, which once made some businessmen complain about me. But the number of people on the other side is not much, as long as you find some gold mines on the farther side, then as long as you bring back some silver from the Wa Kingdom, almost all the gold and silver obtained from the rest of the trade can be circulated in our Great Song Dynasty. ”

Yan Weiqing had just returned from the other side, but the other side not only found two placer gold mines in the Americas, but also fought with a tribe, and finally paid the lives of dozens of warriors to take down this tribe, and harvested nearly 100,000 taels of gold from this tribe alone, even if there are two placer gold beds, the annual gold output is more than 100,000 taels. But I have to say a little less, after all, the population on the other side is much larger than these ministers of the Song Dynasty imagined.

And with the development of the other side, the huge wealth is not as good as that of the Song Dynasty, but the ordinary people are more wealthy than the people of the Song Dynasty. Gold and silver are in high demand. And with the empty land. and policies to stimulate population growth. The population is also expanding much faster than in the interior, so the demand for gold and silver will increase in the future.

There's no need to say that.

But everyone's eyes lit up.

Although the banking department has performed well, the hidden danger has been looming, and that is the shortage of gold and silver. The country has become better in the past three years, and the demand for gold and silver has also increased. The simplest, such as marriage, at least use some gold and silver jewelry. When a fourth-class family gets married, it has to ask for several taels of gold and silver jewelry.

It shows that people's lives have improved, but if this development continues, it may become a new crisis.

"Therefore, in these years, the banking department is no longer allowed to print and dye silk, whether or not the country is still short of money, until the other side brings back a large amount of gold and silver through various channels, so that the price of gold and silver falls slightly, and the state can use taxes or other forms. Hoarding gold and silver, preparing to print and dye new silk ...... But I reckon. That's at least ten years later. ”

"I've always talked about the importance of taxation, and the country can't function without tax revenue. But the role of this tax is to make the country work. With the current income of the state, once the Western Xia is extinguished, it will inevitably produce a large surplus after satisfying the operation of the country. The country needs some surplus in case of contingency. But if you learn from Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and hoard food reserves in Luoyang that can last for sixty years, you will undoubtedly fall behind. ”

"Therefore, I thought that would further lenient the people, rather than extravagant...... For example, increase the salaries of officials, or increase the number of redundant officials, and overhaul some unnecessary civil engineering. This leniency of the people is to further abolish all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes. I have already talked about this, but there is another one that I have not talked about, that is, the Yellow River, with the current Yellow River, fifty years later, the riverbed of Hebei will be all raised, and then the imperial court will not act, that is, to change the Huai River channel. ”

In history, the Jin State entered the Central Plains, and the Yellow River was diverted, which made the Jin State miserable.

"Therefore, it was necessary to vigorously control the river at that time. The river control work is not as simple as restricting the Yellow River to Jishui, if this is the case, I would have carried it out a long time ago. As for how to control the river, I wrote a plan, which has been preserved. According to what I wrote in my plan, it would cost a lot of money, but it was indispensable, including planting trees on both sides of the Yellow River in the meanders of the Western Xia to protect the soil and water from erosion. But fortunately, after taking the Western Xia, it can be governed from the source of the Yellow River, at least from the source of the deterioration of the Yellow River. ”

"But remember one thing, you can recruit people, you can't serve people, and you would rather build slowly in stages, not ask for quick completion, and the Grand Canal of Emperor Yang of Sui is the best example. The construction of the Grand Canal made the Tang Dynasty prosperous, but it caused the rapid demise of the Sui Dynasty. If Emperor Yang of Sui used to recruit people at that time, the speed was a little slower, what would have happened? ”

"I roughly estimated that it would take at least five years, up to ten years, including planting trees on both sides of the river, building weirs and sand storage ponds in the middle and upper reaches, building various moon embankments and dikes in the lower reaches, and widening and deepening the water, and building canals to divide and discharge water, which will take at least five years and up to ten years, after all, the water and soil deterioration of the Yellow River and its tributaries has exceeded that of the Eastern Han Dynasty."

However, the current water and soil deterioration is not as good as in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

"Once that happens, the country can be called a small rule...... That's why it's so important to throttle. ”

In fact, Wang Ju is to explain the future, after the destruction of the Western Xia, I will leave the Song Dynasty, what should the Song Dynasty do in the future, Wang Ju said exactly this. Just like writing a novel, if there is an outline, it will not be crooked.

It's not that you can't say it to Zhao Ji, but at that time, will Zhao Ji still be alive?

Therefore, these important ministers are summoned, and when the time comes, regardless of that person in the position, as long as he does so, there will be very little opposition.

Zhang Dian asked: "Taibao, have you found that fine staple cotton?" ”

"I've just heard about it, but it's too big over there to find it, and I haven't found it yet, but this question is not important."

The texture of the coarse lint cotton is poor, the yield is not high, and there is less cotton and more seeds. But at least it is stronger than planting Ma Ge Sang, and the loom has gradually improved, if you want more exquisite cotton cloth, it is a big deal to learn from the Li people, which is mixed with silk, if the weaver is fine, it is no less than the cotton cloth from the big food.

In the past few years, tens of millions of catties of cotton products have been transported from the south every year to the north.

Although the Kapok Division was out of control, it brought relevant commercial tax revenue to the imperial court, as well as mutual market tax revenue. and even the extraction income of the city. It has also reached more than 1 million.

And the south cotton is transferred to the north. It also fed many people and even contributed to the further prosperity of the shipbuilding industry.

"Of course, I will also let the other side look for, for no other reason, the prosperity of cotton, the high yield of grain, so that the income gap between the north and the south is getting wider and wider, for the future. This better cotton must be found to bridge the income gap between the North and the South. ”

"Taibao has a foresight, and I can't do it."

"Zihou, you don't have to be too humble, what can I do without your help? But this time, the other side also brought back a few good things. ”

"Oh."

"After a while, they will be transported to the capital."

This time, there are more species brought over, including cassava, but they are planted in the south. I only brought a few samples to the capital, as well as papaya and banana taro. These two can only be grown in the south.

There are also sunflowers, peppers, peanuts, pumpkins, chayote, tomatoes, cashew nuts and many more.

There are twenty-one kinds of multigrain vegetables.

The main shore has expanded its existence in the Americas, has set up nine settlements, relocated more than 70,000 people, and nearly 20,000 warriors.

There are many tribes over there, or maybe they can be called countries.

I had to send a lot of troops over.

But compared with the original, the climate on that side is more suitable, the land is more fertile, and there are especially many plains, which is unimaginable.

But even now, the other side has avoided the Gulf of Mexico, and if you want to challenge that country, you can't do it for twenty or thirty years.

Even Wang Ju planned to withdraw to the other side and personally train some soldiers to deal with that country. It is not necessary to deal with that country, but to build a canal, not necessarily as wide as the Barnabas Canal, and now there are no such large ships, the largest is only a thousand or a hundred tons, a similar canal, which can make the two seas communicate, so that a more fertile and flat eastern plain of the two United States can be developed.

But because the range of activities increased, I saw a lot of food for the local indigenous people, and what they could eat, the Song Dynasty could also eat.

Most were brought back.

And I found some fragrant flowers, but those flowers were not brought to the Song Dynasty, but were cultivated on the other side and used to make perfumes.

These were brought back by fast boat and germinated on board, just in time for a little bit of planting season.

They may not be as important as sweet potatoes and corn potatoes, but they can be used as a supplement and can also enrich the variety of vegetables, which is still very significant.

In addition to these plants, bring back one thing.

Looking at them, Zhao Ji walked over curiously, and was quickly stopped by Wang Ju.

It just so happened that a eunuch had passed, and then he was sprayed with a mouthful of spit, and the ministers broke out in a cold sweat, this thing looks very cute, why is it so rude, if Wang Ju didn't pull the emperor just now, and sprayed a mouthful of spit on the emperor's face, this is outside the Xuande Gate, and many people watch, then the matter will be terrible.

Zhao Ji also broke out in a cold sweat and asked, "Wang Qing, what are their names?" ”

"Alpacas."

"This impudent beast looks beautiful."

"Your Majesty, it's not beautiful, it's of great significance."

"What?"

"Your Majesty, such as Bo Yi, a person with poor chess skills can only make one move by his opponent, and he should make one move, and a person with good chess skills, if it is worse, he can't do one move, so he can't see the entire chess surface. But if you are good at chess, you can see three or four moves, as well as the entire chess board. If you are better, you can see five or six moves, eight or nine moves, or even a dozen moves. If you can see a dozen moves and see the entire chess board, you are definitely a game master. ”

"Doing things is like a game, being an official is even more like a game, ordinary officials, even if they can't do the things at hand, what long-term plans can they talk about? But smart officials can see a few years later, or even more than a decade later. Therefore, the first lord visited Zhuge Liang three times, and before Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain, he divided the world into three parts. This is the strength of the ancestor at that time was too poor, if Cao Mengde worshiped Zhuge Liang so much and trusted him, how could Cao Mengde have the fiasco of Chibi. ”

Zhang Shangying suddenly came to his senses, and he said in the back: "Taibao, this is also the future?" ”

"People have no long-term worries, they must have near-term worries, in fact, it means to see the future."

"Future...... Alpaca? Fan Chunren was confused.

"If you talk about war horses, if you don't take the Western Xia, then take the Western Xia. In the future, there will be no shortage of war horses in the imperial court. It's not just Tengchong horses. Sichuan horses, Tibetan horses, Western Xia horses, and some horses raised in Shaanxi and Hedong can also buy war horses from the Liao Jiashan and Zhubu Uighurs, and at the same time the other side can also provide some war horses, and this time the other side brought back three or four thousand good horses. However, they were loaded in large ships and could not be transported to the Central Plains until later. ”

"It's not fur or meat, it's about the people on the other side of the river. Animal husbandry also began to develop day by day, and they were able to provide large quantities of meat and fur to the Great Song Dynasty, but the problem was still in the northwest itself. The water and soil in the northwest are deteriorating, and once the war stops, the number of people increases, and it will inevitably usher in a life of poverty again. Therefore, I set Shaanxi Road as the center of gravity for the promotion of miscellaneous grains, but the Han people can grow miscellaneous grains, what about the Qiang people and the Tibetan people? ”

"The state can no longer implement the security policy, if the country is blindly soft. On the contrary, it will make these Tibetan people unscrupulous and become difficult to govern. Therefore, it was granted to fish. Trying to make their lives a little better, so the minister promoted the fixed pastor. But shepherdship is not enough, this alpaca is also a means. You see, your majesty, their fur is so delicate, and its softness and warmth are several times better than wool. Therefore, once it survives and is reproduced, the price of its wool may be several times or dozens of times that of wool, which will increase the income of some of the Tibetan people. Their lives have become richer, and even if there are two or three heroes who want to be treacherous, there will be no people who will follow them to rebel. ”

In fact, it is not easy to raise alpacas, just like this batch of alpacas, nearly half of them died on the way! In Wang Ju's memory, **** has introduced alpacas, but there has been no large-scale breeding.

If you want to breed on a large scale in the Song Dynasty, it will take a long time, and at the same time, you have to continuously bring alpacas back from the other side to ensure their promotion. But when the population of the Qiang people in various tribes increases, it will also take a long time.

For example, in Western Xia, how many people can there be now?

But this is a good thing, not only does it reduce the difficulty of extinguishing, but it is also easy to migrate some Han people to settle in the past.

Use Han Chinese to dilute the proportion of party members.

Wang Ju said: "Not only alpacas, ministers also have other plans, in the Tang Dynasty, the grapes and wine and blankets in the Liangzhou region were famous all over the world, but because of the war and the rule of the Western Xia, these two industries were sluggish, and we must be sure to take Juyanhai, as long as we take Juyanhai, the west can be with the Western Regions, and the north can be with the blockade, open up commercial and trade relations, these measures are implemented one by one, and the poverty situation in the entire northwest region will be immediately improved." The northwest was officially included in my Great Song Dynasty. ”

This is the ...... future!

But now Wang Ju doesn't need these "future" things to verify himself.

After so many days, Wang Ju has already given nine lectures in the Ying Pavilion.

The breadth of these presentations was astonishing, and some of the ideas were far-sighted.

Even Zhao Ji issued an edict to seal the records of these lectures, and only important ministers had the right to read them, so as not to spread them to the people, and then to the Liao State or other hostile countries.

At the end of the ceremony, then it is time to use these new crops to make a palace banquet, the real seeds are germinated together, and as soon as the ship docks, it will immediately arrange for people to plant it, and it is impossible to bring it to the capital, so it will not delay the planting time?

Everyone is still very happy, or the fly in the ointment is that better cotton.

Li Qingchen suddenly pulled Wang Ju aside and asked, "Taibao, Cheng Yi, what are you going to do?" ”

Cheng Yi was taken to Kaifeng Mansion, where officials from Kaifeng Mansion and Yushitai jointly interrogated the case.

You said that you were wronged, and no one believed it, not only that, but you have to hand over your accomplice, and whether there is anyone else who helped you in planning.

However, Xiao Cheng is tougher and more kind than Da Su, but he doesn't admit it, but scolds Wang Ju vigorously.

He can't admit it, it's really wronged......

At this time, Sima Guang played a letter, impeaching Wang Ju and kidnapping a famous Confucian casually.

The second impeachment of Wang Ju should not bewitch the emperor, treat Yanhe Hall as a vegetable market, and make a farce interrogation, what is Yanhe Palace? Could it be that the Yanhe Hall has now become a state and county hall?

The impeachment of Wang Ju is scheming, this matter seems unreasonable, but it is actually very reasonable, it is Wang Ju's choice of Xiao Cheng that makes everyone believe it. and then use Xiao Cheng to attack the vast number of meritorious veterans, even including small cases, all of which were planned by Wang Ju.

That's right...... That's right.

But the question is who believes him?

After Sima Guang wrote the book, he also knew this result, and he said again, after hearing about this, the ministers stayed awake all night, and two years later, the Great Song Dynasty was in danger. The old minister knows that Wang Ju, a traitor, will definitely hit me after seeing this impeachment note, so the minister will go back to Lianshui himself.

It means that after Wang Ju took down the Western Xia, his prestige reached its peak, and at that time, there might be a reaction.

This is too disgusting Wang Ju, if Zhao Ju really listened to Sima Guang's words, then Wang Ju will definitely have some restrictive actions against Wang Ju when he sends troops to Western Xia, so does Wang Ju still want to destroy Western Xia?

And the effect is amazing, after Wang Ju saw this impeachment letter, he had to say: "Once the minister goes to Shaanxi Road, please Your Majesty must gather a heavy army to guard Tongguan, and place fifty artillery pieces on top of the city." ”

Tongguan is defended, Wang Ju has heavy troops in his hands, and he can't go east.

Zhao explained.

Wang Ju said again: "Your Majesty, the minister knows that His Majesty trusts the minister very much, but it is difficult to distinguish between the mouths, so that the mouths of some people can be sealed. In the future, it can also be regarded as a system. Not only the Western Xia, but also the Liao Kingdom in the future. If it is like the five-way war against Xia, or the three-way war on Liao, the dragons have no leader, and they will fight separately, and they will be defeated. But if he puts a large army in someone's hands, must he be such a minister? If they have a bad heart, what should they do? ”

Zhao Ji didn't know what to say.

Then Wang Ju ignored Zhao Ji's objections, personally ordered the construction of Tongguan City, and arranged artillery on it, and said to Zhao Ji: "Tongguan Commander, please Yu Chen After leaving the capital, Li Qingchen will select it." ”

Why, Li Qingchen is also an old party, and his relationship with Wang Ju is not very harmonious, so let Li Qingchen choose the chief general of Tongguan, and he will definitely not choose the chief general who is close to Wang Ju. In this way, Tongguan can be held.

Zhao Ji was delayed.

In fact, in the harem, Gao Taotao heard this, and his brows also relaxed.

But what Wang Juyu said to Zhao Ji was actually what he said to Gao Tao, it's all like this, old man, you can rest assured. Otherwise, after he went to Shaanxi, these guys kept instigating, in case Zhao Ji changed, he would take a break from major events.

This can also be regarded as ...... future!

The two of them are more energetic, Sima Guang took Wang Ju Wu, Wang Ju also took Sima Guang Wu, people have cultivated Zizhi, it is also considered meritorious, and it is the rule of the Great Song Dynasty that the speaker is not guilty, even if he said some excessive words in the book, he left Luoyang and returned to Lianshui, what can Wang Ju do with Sima Guang?

Even if Wang Ju wanted to use this to forcibly dismiss these elders in Luoyang, there was no way to do it......

Therefore, Wang Ju asked sarcastically: "To this day, Sima Guang and others still want to trample me to death and sabotage my plan to cut down the summer, how do you ask me to deal with Cheng Yi?" (To be continued.) )
