Chapter 581: The Strongest and Most Shameless Roar
The army of prisoners marched south to the boundary of Zhengbaiqu, causing an even greater sensation.
The number of casualties of the Song army in this battle was not low, and the largest casualty ratio was the Fan people around Rouyuan Village, and even one of the three families had a Ding Zhuang killed or injured in this battle. After the war, Li Sangou was once very sad.
The second is the front-line Fan army, including Fan Luo, strongmen and edge archers.
So Wang Ju was ruthless against those neutral tribes.
Every time a war comes, these people are on the front line, and there will be casualties. But these tribes are unruly, and no one comes out. Then after the war, the same tax exemption, but because there are many Ding Zhuang in their village, they can also grow rapidly and occupy more resources.
You are not stupid, and in the end, there will be more imitation tribes. This is the reason why Murong rebelled many times in history.
For example, in order to develop the local economy, Wang Ju happened to have a large number of prisoners of war in his hands, and at the same time as repairing the fort, he was also building roads, which not only had the road of Hengshan, but also the road in the rear, including Huanzhou.
Don't think about the road, but it is still possible to use gunpowder to blast open the mountain wall and widen the mountain roads, and the big stones that are blown down can be paved on the muddy yellow mud road, and then paved with gravel chips, although it cannot be compared with the official road, but it is convenient for the carriage and horses to walk, so it becomes convenient to communicate with the outside world, and the villages on both sides of these roads will naturally become rich in the future.
But when building roads, we will consciously screen them, after all, even if we use prisoners of war to build roads, we also need costs, the cost of gunpowder, and the cost of tools. The cost of eating and drinking per day.
This is used to further compress the growth space of these villages.
This is what Wang Ju said. I want to breastfeed. You have to be obedient, disobedient children who are just crying, you can wash and sleep.
In addition to these two, the remaining ones with the highest casualty rate were undoubtedly Zheng Baiqu's Baojie Army.
With the withdrawal of the army, the coffin was also transported back, and the entire Zheng Baiqu was dressed in linen and filial piety, as if the end was coming.
But there is still one person who has not returned, and that is these seriously wounded soldiers. The bodies of others have not yet been found. Seeing the arrival of this army, the people of the entire Zhengbaiqu area poured to both sides of the road, crying darkly.
It's a big deal.
Wang Anshi couldn't bear it anymore, and said during the discussion in the Yanhe Palace: "Your Majesty, the front line is a great victory, why is the reward so indecided?" The ministers didn't know what the ministers of the Western Mansion thought, and they respected the Western Xia as if they were guests, but they treated the meritorious soldiers as if they were dogs. The people of the world are not complaining about Xifu, but complaining about His Majesty. ”
He was in the capital and heard a lot of news.
Wang Ju's sacrifice of prisoners. It's disgusting, of course. It's not disgusting to the east, it's disgusting to the west.
But the common people don't know, the Song army that sacrificed the prisoners came out of Zhengbaiqu and began to turn to the east, becoming more and more sensational, and there were more and more onlookers, so the discussion was louder. In particular, many people mentioned the reward.
Wang Anshi even suspected that this might have been secretly emanated by Wang Ju's faction.
This reward made the people sad and angry, this is the way of the world, a rare victory, but it is not that the Xixia people are weak, this is a great victory that the soldiers of the three armies desperately exchanged, look, these people are injured like this, and so many coffins have been transported in all directions. Why doesn't the imperial court reward it, so what is the purpose of changing the law to collect money? What is this new emperor thinking, is it a faint monarch?
not only talked about Zhao Ji, but also scolded Wang Anshi.
Can Wang Anshi be willing to carry this black cauldron?
Wen Yanbo, don't continue to pretend to be stupid and crazy, I'll just come out.
"It's not that someone disagrees, but His Majesty's reward is too heavy." Wen Yanbo gritted his teeth and said.
Zeng Bu said: "Your Majesty, the war in Gyeongju has been over for nearly two months, but the reward has been delayed for a long time, so that the people have talked about it, and some ignorant villains actually say that Your Majesty is a faint king. It is better to edict the world and ask the people of the world for advice, saying that Gong Wen thinks that rewarding soldiers will make them greedy for merit and endless things. Therefore, the court could not decide for a long time. Therefore, please ask the world's virtuous people to write a book, whether Gong Wen said this, if so, according to Gong Wen's opinion, he will be rewarded lightly, in order to show the soldiers, Hugo to stop the war, so as to stabilize the border. If it is not the same, please reward it heavily, so that the three armies will be inspired, and the army will be strong from now on. ”
Don't say that the reward is too heavy, the problem is that now even the emperor has to carry the black pot for you!
"There are villains who say that I am a faint king?"
"If you don't believe it, please send someone from the Imperial City Division to investigate."
"Your Majesty, this time Wang Ju deliberately used wounded soldiers to sacrifice prisoners, which violated etiquette, and the people were raging, and the ministers thought that someone was bewitching him behind him." Yang Hui said.
This can't be checked, and the emperor will be angry immediately when he checks it.
Feng Jing said: "In the opinion of the ministers, it is better to reward the surplus of the Kapok Division to the soldiers of the three armies. ”
This year, the profit of the Kapok Division increased, but the increase was limited, and the price of cotton fell again. Although there are quite a few of them, they are not many on the heads of more than 100,000 meritorious soldiers. It's just two.
And if it drags on, it may not be beneficial to Wen Yanbo, this is the people who don't know the truth, and those who know the truth will immediately reverse the direction of the wind, and the soldiers of the three armies will also hate Wen Yanbo with a big pimple, don't make a mistake, you are the prime minister of the West Mansion, not the Prime Minister of the East Mansion.
As for what Yang Hua said, it doesn't work at all, Wang Ju is forcing the imperial court to issue rewards.
Is it wrong?
The main Lu Huiqing went home again, Zeng Bu didn't have much right to speak, Wang Anshi just wanted to end the matter as soon as possible, if Wen Yanbo no longer insisted, the matter would be automatically resolved.
Zhao Ji thought for a while and said, "That's it, I will transfer another 1.5 million yuan from the inner treasury to use it as a reward and pension for the three armies." ”
Wen Yanbo came to the spirit and said, "Your Majesty, it's inconvenient to make friends." ”
Jiaozi is not inconvenient, but very convenient, but at this time, everyone's thoughts are still stuck in the physical object, even if it is currency, whether it is gold and silver, or copper coins and iron coins, it is always a physical object, not a piece of paper. And the current Jiaozi denomination in the Song Dynasty is too large, with two types: five and ten.
Later, the maximum denomination of the total economic volume was only 100 yuan, which was only equivalent to 200 yuan.
Therefore, once this kind of large-denomination Jiaozi is widely circulated, it will drive the price of Jiaozi to rise rapidly, and the price of Jiaozi itself will fall. Even if Wang Anshi later reduced this denomination. Still a large denomination. Consistent with 500 texts.
However, Wang Anshi has not yet made a move on Jiaozi. Zhao Ji said: "It is also a helpless move to make friends, if there is a legal system and sufficient financial use, why do you need to do this?" ”
Just like before Sichuan carried out Jiaozi, he bought a horse with 20,000 iron coins and weighed 500 catties, and he had to use a big cart to pull money before he exchanged it for a Luo.
However, this. It was a partial building again, and Feng Jing said: "Your Majesty, the boundary of the house is not only silting the fields, but also repairing errands, and being a protector, and people are extremely tired." ”
In this way, the people could not bear it.
Zhao Ji asked rhetorically: "What is the suffering of the people in silting the fields?" I once asked my ministers to pluck the wheat seedlings to see how they were, and those who took them from the silted fields regarded them as if they were fine. There is a monk who said that if there is an old field, it should not be planted. Last year, he got wheat from silted fields. I also sent people to visit the people in the neighborhood, and they were all happy to be exempted from servitude. Although the order is paid. And the resumption of his service, there is no risk of pursuing criminal responsibility, and the people are willing. ”
Siddling is a good policy, as for exemption, it may not be liked by everyone, otherwise Wang Ju will not have a headache.
But no matter how bad it is, it is definitely an improvement over the original errands. At least if there is no so-called spare money, Wang Ju will support it with both hands.
Wen Yanbo said: "If you use five families as one guarantee, if you use five hundred families as one guarantee, then its labor disturbance can be known." ”
Zhao Ji said: "How can the people know the twists and turns of things, only know that they complain about their own harms, and rejoice if they have their own benefits." Although 500 people are the great protectors, what real harm is there to the people? ”
That is to say, the people's vision is short-sighted and not long-term.
It can't be said that this is wrong, Fan Chunren used this trick to turn over the ancients.
Wang Anshi said: "Jiaozi is as His Majesty said, and it is a last resort. However, His Majesty should think deeply, the financial resources are insufficient, and the talents are not enough, and the side affairs are quiet. If you can calm down and wait for side affairs, then Yidi will not be in trouble, and then you can concentrate on internal affairs. If the internal affairs have been completed, the talents are sufficient, and the financial resources are rich and strong, then there is nothing to do. ”
This is said in a very vague way.
He Jing attaches great importance to side affairs, not quiet side affairs, he has to make the three armies strong, and foreign enemies dare not invade, so concentrate on internal affairs, if there is internal affairs, wealth will also be available, and Jiaozi can not be wanted.
But Wen Yanbo dragged out the reward, and soon the three armies were about to mutiny, so what was the calmness of the side affairs?
Wen Yanbo said very unhappily: "The ancestral legal system is there, so there is no need to be more open to lose people's hearts. ”
Zhao Ji said: "Changing the legal system, Dr. Yu Shi is very displeased, but what is the inconvenience to the people? ”
Wen Yanbo said disdainfully: "The country rules the world with scholars, not with the people." ”
Finally, Wen Yanbo shouted out the strongest and most shameless roar.
As long as the world's powerful and powerful doctors are happy, the world will be stable, and what do you care about the people!
But what about the livelihood ahead?
When you use the people's livelihood, you will have it, and when you don't use it, the people's livelihood will ...... There is the people's livelihood, the people's livelihood of the scholars, and the people's livelihood are just tools in the hands.
In this way, how did the Eastern Han Dynasty perish? How did the Ming Dynasty fall?
However, the people here are this elite! Although they were all dumbfounded, they said in their hearts, Lao Wen, you are really TMD, and you have said such shameless words, but I have to admit that there is a little truth.
It is more dangerous to anger the world's elites than to touch the people of the world.
Even if Wang Anshi is replaced, Wang Anshi will not think that ordinary people have the same identity as himself.
Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu's so-called Qi Min, that is, to give the people more life, so that they will not freeze to death or starve to death, then there will be no rebellion, and the world will be peaceful for a long time.
In fact, Wen Yanbo's words have another meaning, this world is not the world of your emperor alone, of course, it is not the world of the emperor and all the people, but the world of your emperor and scholars.
Therefore, as an emperor, he must rely on each other with the scholar group, use each other, and get rich together. As an emperor, you have to consider the interests of scholars, not the other way around, and increase taxes on scholars, which is the basis for the stability of the country.
This sentence cannot be said to be wrong.
It's really the truth.
However, it is a veil that cannot be torn off, just like Yue Fei shouted at Zhao Gou: "You emperor, our family is hostage in Hangzhou together, what are you worried about!" ”
What does Zhao think about it? And this veil is nakedly lifted and becomes a foregone conclusion, and from now on, the common people will be useless, and history will completely regress, returning to the real era of respect, the slave society of antiquity!
Zhao Ji didn't think about it so much, anyway, he made Wen Yanbo's words frightened, and he was stunned and couldn't say anything.
After most of the day, he asked in disgust: "Wen Qing, how did the envoy of Western Xia reply?" ”
You don't agree to reward the soldiers of the three armies, but instead defend the Western Xia people, so after so many days, I just want the Song envoy to go to Xingqing Mansion to envoy the Western Xia in the future, not in Youzhou, why have several envoys not answered?
Wen Yanbo replied: "Your Majesty, the Liao State is about to send an envoy to our court. ”
What did the Liao State send an envoy over at this time? Undoubtedly, where is the mediation, where is the deviation, the emperor, are you afraid that the Liao State and the Western Xia will join forces?
In short, Wang Anshi's change has many drawbacks, but Wen Yanbo and Sima Guang are really shameless...... But why hasn't Wen Yanbo gone down?
Zhao Ji did this, as long as Wang Ju knew, he would become more and more disappointed, especially Wen Yanbo's roar shouted, and if he could continue to stay in Xifu, he would be shaken by Wang Ju's thoughts, and then Zhao Ji would usher in a painful blow......
At this time, Zhao Ji would not consider Wang Ju's gratitude, and the same was true for others.
The word Liao is like a heavy stone that suddenly hits their hearts. Zhao Ji muttered: "No wonder ......"
Wen Yanbo snorted coldly in his heart, Emperor, you are too young!
But don't worry, the praying mantis catches cicadas, the yellow finch is behind, and Wang Ju prepared the third big slap to Lao Wen in Yanzhou. However, Wang Ju was prepared for Sima Guang at that time, and he didn't expect Sima Guang to go down, so Lao Wen was pumped again and again, and his nose and face were swollen...... (To be continued......)
