Wang Ju's line was very fast, with more than a dozen big carriages, carrying a large family up and down, quickly rushing to Mizhou, and then with the help of a fast boat, regardless of the headwind, they sailed to the other side, and walked very decisively. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

On July 11, Zhao Ji collapsed.

Gao Taotao ordered that Fan Chunren should be the mountain envoy, and according to the convention, this mountain envoy should be served by Cai Qulai, which is obviously a signal.

But because of Cai Qu's compromise during this time, many moderate old parties were re-hired, and these people either rejected Cai Qu too much, or they wanted to remove Cai Qu from the prime minister's position, and they couldn't save face.

When autumn came, the imperial court began to make frequent personnel transfers, and many radical ministers were successively dispatched to various places, and a large number of old parties were also re-appointed. However, the change of upper-level officials is not too big, or the most eye-catching thing is that Su Dongpo has been transferred back to serve as the master of Hanlin Zhizhihao.

This has nothing to do with the old and the new, Gao Taotao likes this great talent very much.

In fact, Da Su is very immature politically, especially his big mouth, so even the good old man Lao Wang can't get used to Da Su.

But now Cai Qu is basically inactive, it is not Wen Yanbo who is providing for the elderly, it is Cai Qu who is really pensioning. The Empress Dowager likes it, so appoint it.

also includes Xiao Cheng's two students, Zhu Guangting and Jia Yi. Among the two, Zhu Guangting is the most famous, and he can write at the age of ten. However, if it is placed in later generations, Jia Yi may be more famous, because there is a text in the textbook about Jia Yi saving money to return to his mother, and that Jia Yi is this Jia Yi.

All are prodigies, all are neurotic......

The two were transferred to the capital and served as imperial historians.

What does Yushi do, he is a minister, and he is an overseer, but Zhu Jia doesn't know Wang Ju's theory.

Therefore, they have the same psychology as other ministers, I am a minister, and my duty is to spray, unreasonable to spray, and reasonable to spray.

But let's rescue the teacher first, the two joined forces to write a book, Xiao Cheng has been relegated to the other side for almost three years, why hasn't the other side sent him back.

This is also the fact that Gao Taotao personally asked Zhongshu to issue an edict, and asked Haike to bring the edict to the other side and bring Xiao Cheng back to the Song Dynasty.

But this comes and goes, at least after next autumn.

The two turned their gaze to the others again, picking thorns in the east and thorns in the west.

However, this was within the scope of the Song Dynasty system, and everyone did not pay much attention to it.

Suddenly, Zhu Guangting wrote and said one thing, since the other side is owned by the Great Song Dynasty, according to Wang Ju's own words, what is the real territory, can station officials, control taxes, and mobilize officers and soldiers, then it can be called the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, like the original fetters can be regarded as the national territory? Just like the current Black Khan, he also declared himself a vassal to the Song Dynasty, but can it be regarded as the land of the Great Song Dynasty?

Wang Ju said that there was a run-in period, but to this day, many officials transferred over are still like puppets, so the Great Song Dynasty must transfer thousands of officers and soldiers to the other side to strengthen the prestige of officials, and at the same time collect taxes from the people and merchants on the other side.

Gao Tao was quite moved, and Dasu said: "The imperial court has transferred officers and soldiers to the core area of Kuixia." ”

Can that be adjusted?

The people are backward, and most of them are lofty mountains, and Wang Ju feels a headache when he is there, let alone others.

Da Su said: "The Empress Dowager, the core area of Kuixia is only separated by some mountains, but the other side is separated by thousands of miles of oceans. ”

It has nothing to do with personal relationships, it is personal relationships, Wang Ju has a good relationship with Xiao Su, as for Da Su, it's the same thing. But what Da Su said was from his heart, he couldn't see the pull of commerce and trade on the other side of the Song Dynasty's economy, but he saw the continuous support of the other side.

If the Western Xia could have provided one-tenth of the support for the Song Dynasty at the beginning, it would have been seen if the Song Dynasty would have used troops with the Western Xia?

The other side is a territory belonging to the Song Dynasty by default, and there is no need to increase troops, and a lot of support will be provided in the future, becoming the most important right-hand man of the imperial court.

If the other side supports Wang Ju as the king and breaks away from the Song Dynasty, even if a few thousand officers and soldiers are dispatched, it will not work.

This is purely a trick to add to the snake, and if you don't get it right, it will anger the other party.

Gao Tao woke up, so the matter was not discussed.

However, after Su Dongpo went back, he chanted a poem with the guests: "The holy gentleman in the mess, the person with quinoa cane on the bamboo forest seat." In order to seek the elixir, Xu Lu traveled tens of thousands of boats to Dongying. ”

It is a very poor and terrible place in the capital, which is equivalent to the slums of later generations, and there is a holy gentleman in this poor place.

Bamboo forest refers to the seven gentlemen of the bamboo forest, also known as the seven sages of the bamboo forest, the seven famous men of the Wei and Jin dynasties, Ji Kang, Ruan Ji, Shan Tao, Xiang Xiu, Liu Ling, Wang Rong and Ruan Xian. They abandoned the classics and still worshiped the old village, and they despised the law and worshiped the law, which was very famous in Chinese history. Because of like-mindedness, they often gather under the bamboo forest to drink and talk. But in the end, in the face of the Sima Dynasty's co-optation and suppression, Ji Kang was killed, Wang Rong and Shan Tao took the initiative to defect to the Sima Dynasty, so the seven sages went to the east and west.

Sima Zhao once gave Shantao 200,000 yuan, 200,000 grains, and because Shantao's mother was old, he gave a quinoa cane, and Shantao took the initiative to attach himself to the Western Jin Dynasty and entered the ranks of high-ranking officials.

Su Dongpo is alluding to Shantao's name as the great sage of the world, but in fact it is hypocritical, 200,000 yuan, not 200,000 yuan, plus 200 grains, and a quinoa cane made him defect.

In fact, this is really a bit wronged, Shan Tao is the mother of Sima Yi's wife Zhang Chunhua from his grandmother Shan, the two families are related, and it is normal for them to come together, and Shantao's official work is good, which is quite popular. is another person from the Seven Sages, Wang Rong, who is despicable and has the most fame.

The following allusion is very simple, Xu is Xu Fu, Lu is Lu Sheng, and the story of Xu Fu Dongdu, it seems that Da Su slightly used the wrong allusion, because when Xu Fu Dongfu was in Japan, he did not bring Lu Sheng.

On the surface, it is wrong, but in fact it is not wrong.

Ercheng's theory is not really to destroy human desires, but to hope that everyone will restrain their desires and greed, and then the world will be the same.

What about Su Dongpo, he and Kou Zhun, Yang Yi, and Xiao Song belong to the hedonistic school, why have we been studying hard for ten years? Gold List Title. What is the title of the gold list, to be an official. What is the official for, enjoy the glory and wealth.

In the Song Dynasty, this concept was not ugly, as long as you handled the government affairs in your hands, you could have as much fun as you wanted in your spare time.

Just like Kou Zhun, an authentic playboy, but did it affect his reputation?

However, this kind of concept of people and Ercheng must be compatible.

And Ercheng they are not real gentlemen, if it is those eminent monks, Lin Hejing, Zhang Zai, Fan Zhongyan, put forward this concept, Su Dongpo has no choice, and people do have this kind of character.

In fact, it is a monk's something, he will not believe that there is such a high moral character, sit, please sit, please sit, tea, please tea, please tea......

Not only are they not real gentlemen, judging from their performance in the court or in Luoyang, these two people are a person who tends to be inflammatory, and they are bitter and mean.

In Wang Ju's words, it is:

Some people are ugly, but they want you to be flawless.

Some people are very dirty, but they ask you to be bright and great.

Some people eat meat, but they ask you to drink only soup......

How can Su Dongpo have a good impression of Xiao Cheng?

Xiao Cheng's two disciples had their brains open, and they actually wanted to bewitch the imperial court to send troops to the other side, called jurisdiction, but actually sought justice for the teacher, so Su Dongpo came up with this satirical poem.

It is not the dregs of the capital, but refers to Xiao Cheng's self-esteem as a scholar and a gentleman, but he did not even pass the Jinshi examination. Even if you are unlucky, at least a fourth- or fifth-class jinshi can get it, and you don't even have this talent, why do you call yourself a scholar and a master?

Not only is he not a scholar, but he is also a hypocrite like Shantao.

However, he laughed at Zhu Jia and the two whimsical, if the court really did this, Xiao Cheng would immediately become famous all over the world. In addition, Xiao Cheng used to be in the capital and taught in Luoyang, and there were many students under his door, so these students would hug each other, become powerful, and they could also flourish in the political arena, or they would become elixirs. But is there really an elixir? Dream on!

Su Dongpo's calligraphy has a characteristic, true. True temperament is a portrait of calligraphy, but in the political arena, it is called to speak without brains, and say whatever you want. Said it......

The guests smiled, look, Da Su is really talented, laughing and scolding are all articles, scolding people without any dirty words, all kinds of allusions come easily, so they quickly spread out. Then in the morning court, Zhang Dian made a rowing gesture in front of Zhu Guangting, and everyone laughed together. The main two boys are too annoying, as the boss of the New Party, Zhang Dian has not been attacked less, and many others have been attacked by them.

However, Su Dongpo still used these two people in his heart, and he didn't mean anything else. But because this joke became bigger, "Yao Shun's Rule" also began.

Winter is fast approaching.

Wen Yanbo is very quiet, but don't really think that he is quiet, Wen Yanbo, who believed in Buddhism in his later years, has become extremely terrifying, and the death of Cai Qu in history was promoted by him, and Gao Taotao is just an accomplice. Now he has been suppressed by Wang Ju for seven years, why is it seven years, Wang Ju has not returned, and the court has begun to suppress it. Therefore, Wen Yanbo has accumulated a terrible monstrous aura in his heart......

But he couldn't find any chances, the year was too quiet.

The front line is still using money, immigration, building forts, especially the Great Wall.

In addition, Wang Ju has been building eight medium-sized canals and more than 40 small canals since last year on the Yellow River and some tributaries, but none of them have reached the scale of the Hanyuan Canal.

This is also Wang Ju's consideration of the time problem, if it is a large-scale water conservancy, at least more than two years of construction time, by that time the court is already a different look, just find an excuse, the project will be abandoned halfway, it is better not to repair it.

When winter comes, these canals are completed one by one, but they also cost money.

In addition, the difficulty of the sand control project is not so high, and some of the means of sand control projects in later generations, such as the method of Kubuqi desert control, can be applied.

Compared with later generations, the equipment and technology are now backward, but the advantage is that the deterioration of water and soil is not serious, and at the same time, there are nearly 100,000 troops of all colors stationed on the five roads on the edge of the front line, and the gap in equipment can be made up for with labor, so as long as a little money is invested, the entire northwest style will be greatly improved in ten years.

However, because of the political situation, Wang Ju canceled this idea, and only promoted these methods in a few garrison places, as a pilot. Then, after the political situation is stabilized, these pilots will bring reflection to some people and accumulate relevant experience.

And Shen Kuo's railway......

It also takes a lot of money to bury Zhao Ji in the court.

However, with such spending, the fiscal budget has barely been able to run a surplus this year. The most important thing is that this year is smooth and rainy, and the front is extremely quiet, and there is not even a decent rebellion.

And although this battle was huge, strictly speaking, it could not be regarded as harsh people. For example, the purchase and purchase of various materials is inevitable, and after this war, as well as the subsequent immigration, a large amount of materials and grain and grass have been used, so it must be purchased in large quantities from the people. However, in order to prevent the occurrence of bad phenomena, the various transit divisions, lifting divisions, and banking departments jointly sent people to inspect and set fair prices. We can't let the businessmen and the people suffer, and we can't let the businessmen take the opportunity to make a fortune.

That is, let everyone earn a little, but not make too much money in a black heart.

As for all kinds of forced labor, in addition to those prisoners of war, they were also recruited. The soldiers and civilians who went to the front line were not only well paid, but also received a lot of rewards after the war.

In just over a year, the imperial court spent almost 200 million yuan of silk, copper coins and silk, and it was still a new one, so much money was scattered all over the country, and then the war stopped and consumption began. There is no scientific statistics now, otherwise the GDP growth rate of the Song Dynasty this year could reach 20 percent.

It is really singing and dancing, and the country and the people are safe.

Wen Yanbo couldn't move, but the time was coming......

After the Spring Festival, under the compulsion of Gao Taotao, the imperial court suddenly appointed five ministers, Han Zhongyan as the right minister of Shangshu, Fu Yaoyu as the servant of Zhongshu, Liu Zhi as the servant of the door, Sun Guzhi of the Privy Council, and Wang Yansu of Kaifeng Mansion.

Cai Bian argued, the first emperor had just entered the ground, Fu Yaoyu didn't care, how did Sun Gu and Wang Yansuo get out again?

Gao talked behind the curtain and scolded Cai Bian without knowing what to say, and then released Cai Bian out of Beijing.

Okay, now from top to bottom, eighty percent of the competent ministry officials have been replaced by the old party ministers, so Fan Zuyu began to take everyone to the book, that is, whether this battle in the northwest is worth it.

Or to put it another way, the Northwest Campaign lasted for several years, costing five or six hundred million guan, if it is divided into a hundred years, there will be five or six million guan a year.

But because some people made a name for themselves with their military exploits, this war broke out, from outside the seventh-level canal, to the city of Yongle, and then to the banks of the Muddy River, how many Li people died?

Fan Chunren said that he only spent 300 million yuan.

In fact, this is really a confused account, and it has lasted for several years, and no one can calculate it, but Wang Ju estimates that the actual cost of all aspects may reach 400 million yuan.

Fan Zuyu retorted, what about interest.

Even if it is 300 million yuan, plus a hundred years of interest, it will not reach five or six million yuan a year.

Zhang Shangying smiled angrily, he had a good memory, so he reported on the spot that from the beginning of Xining, the country's annual income and expenditure.

It took so much money, but Wang Ju earned it back for the Song Dynasty, and in the future, the Song Dynasty's court finances are healthy, and it will continue to earn!

Sun Jue is energetic, and when it comes to money, then he just talks about this banking department.

The state lends money, and the people are right?

Zhang Shangying said that the state interest is only one cent, while the private loan shark Jia is six cents, or even three times the annual interest!

Sun Jue reprimanded, if there are merchants and fish and meat people, can the court fish and meat the people?

Then everyone rushed up, almost crying bitterly about all kinds of atrocities committed by the banking department, especially some people who could not repay the debts they borrowed, then according to the contract, the banking department forcibly sold this person's property, and some bad phenomena would inevitably occur.

But if you don't do this, then it's over, release a thousand guan, and whether you can take back two hundred guan is one thing. That's it, there are many dead accounts every year.

Gao Tao concluded behind the curtain that the banking department is indeed a move of the common people, and this method of collecting money is not a merit.

Zhang Shangying is extremely angry, this bank will not do it.

In short, he and Zhang Dian are very talented, but they are not the best candidates for prime minister, Zhang Shangying is too high, and Zhang Dian is too black and white.

Cai Qu sneered in his heart, the banking department is not good, Zhang Shangying is gone, I see if you will ban it. However, out of Hu Cai's prediction, the imperial court immediately issued an edict and replaced him with Sun Jue. But it is harmful, so what should I do, so Sun Jue ordered that the interest rate be reduced by two percent.

Zhang Shangying was about to hire a boat to return to his hometown in Sichuan, and after hearing it, he said, these guys are unwilling not to collapse the Great Song Dynasty.

In fact, in later generations, the average annual interest of more than 8% is not low. But in this era, the cost of all aspects is relatively high, coupled with dead debts and unpreventable greed, once it drops by two percent, the consequences will be extraordinary.

This is exactly what Sun Jue didn't understand, in fact, the loans issued by the banking department every year were not only the funds allocated by the imperial court, but more than half of them were from the interest differential generated by private deposits. If it drops by two percent, it will be interesting to see if it will be profitable at the end of the year.

Good government, all the merchants, including the people who did not understand, were delighted when they heard this, and in just two months, all the money of the banking department was borrowed, and then an even more ridiculous thing happened......

But at the moment, I was attracted to another thing.

Spring is coming, and the fleets on the other side are coming again, and for the time being, these fleets have not been affected, and it is not only the profits brought by commerce and trade and the profits of the city, but the main courts have not yet "sorted out".

Then he brought news from the other side, saying that some people on the other side had migrated to the more distant American continent, and these people were illiterate, so the merchants on the other side also set up some schools there, because Xiao Cheng was good at learning, so Xiao Cheng was also transferred there. Now the court summoned him back, and the other side also obeyed the order, but because it was too far away, it had to be delayed for a while.

Jia Yi was a little unclear, so he asked, more distant continents?

Then I found the map and saw that it was blinded.

Su Dongpo also came out after presiding over the pavilion exam, and laughed when he heard it, if he was really like Xu Fu Dongdu, he couldn't go back.

Jia Yi is extremely angry, could it be that he issued an edict to arrest these seafarers together?

Then he heard one thing, Su Dongpo came up with a test question in this pavilion test, the current imperial court wants the loyalty of the master Renzong, and is afraid that the hundred officials will not raise their duties or as for the scorpion, and they want the spirit of the Fa Wuzong, and they are afraid that the supervisor will not know his meaning and will be engraved.

Wuzong is Zhao Xu's nickname, and the name of Wuzi is placed on the emperor, which is not too bad, not too good, just like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty at least in the Song Dynasty The evaluation is far less high than that of later generations, and Tang Wuzong, who pranks Buddha and promotes Taoism, and dies on the Taoist Xiaodan pill.

Of course, it is much better than the divine character that Sima Guang and others made.

This sentence means that if Song Renzong is restored to the way he was then, I am afraid that there is no pressure on the officials to get by. If Zhao Ji's efforts are continued, I am afraid that the various supervision departments will not understand it and will be harsh.

It has nothing to do with Wang Ju, this is the inevitability of the two methods of governance.

Even though Wang Ju used many means and used various concessions to compromise, on the whole, he was still relatively harsh when he was in power, both tough and iron-blooded. Hundreds of unqualified officials are punished every year.

Now the limelight in the court is a little turned, where to go, Su Dongpo can't see it, but what he said is also psychological, is the change good, and is the change after Wang Ju's further improvement? He has been down there all these years, and he has seen and heard.

It's not that it's useless as many powerful people in the capital say, of course, even if Wang Ju reforms the law, there are still many flaws, especially the officials who carry out all kinds of problems.

Now that the Western Xia is destroyed, there is no financial crisis, and it can be loosened, but it will never be restored to the way it was when Song Renzong was.

This is what Da Su wants to say, that is, what later generations call moderates.

Can't say right, can you do it if you want to please both sides? Either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind!

Here it comes...... (To be continued.) )
