Chapter 622: It's All Changing
"What's the scenery on the other side of the ocean?" Zhao Niannu asked.
"It's a little different."
"There really is." Zhao Niannu said in surprise.
"How did it get to your ears?"
"There are rumors in the capital, and some clan disciples have asked me, so I refused."
"Oh," Wang Ju was a little alarmed. Everyone is rumoring that it is a good thing, and if they want to relocate the people, they can only let them go voluntarily, even if Wang Ju does not dare to use any forcible means, although it is for their good.
Then more people need to pay attention, and some desperate poor households will be interested in the other side of the ocean, and they can also invite some underestimated skilled craftsmen.
But these clan disciples must not participate.
"I'd like to go over and have a look, too." Wang Ju said that Zhao Niannu didn't care too much about it before, but this time he was really aroused a little thought.
"Wait a little longer, when the ship's technology is more developed, everyone is more familiar with the ocean currents and monsoons on the channel, and the other side is gradually settled, I will have you take a look."
"I'm just saying, by the way, how long does it take to sail from Quanzhou to there?"
"It depends on the monsoon, if it is smooth, it can be reached in ten days, and in case of accidents, it can reach a month, or even two months."
Wang Ju was suddenly stunned.
In fact, as he thought about it too much, he felt the difficulty of changing.
The first level is the rise of the Jurchens in the future, and Wang Ju intends to detonate this threat in advance. However, it is very difficult, the rise of the Jurchens, not only the Jurchens are strong, but also the suppression of the Liao State, and the Xiaoice River, which did not end the Yan Abone fight. Maybe there will be a Duyan Akuda. Li Yan is a bone fight. Unless the birth of a girl is really annihilated. Is that possible?
Or take Yan Yun first, this certainty is also not very big.
Don't look at the decline of the Liao State, but there are many problems within the Song Dynasty.
The second level is the population crisis, we all know the population crisis, but Wang Ju migrated the poor people overseas on a large scale, whether it was the emperor or the minister, there was still some fear in his heart. Therefore, I am afraid that this number will eventually be limited.
100,200,000 families were displaced. There will be less fear, but this point of the people will not solve the population pressure of the Song Dynasty at all.
Even because of Wang Ju's promotion, by the time of the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty in history, the number of households was more than 22 million.
That is, if the Northern Song Dynasty does not perish, it is very likely that every 100 years, the population will double, even if Wang Ju pushes to recover Yanyun, and even destroy the Liao State and open up the Northeast. At the same time, it officially operated in the south, and also brought miscellaneous grains from the real other side of the ocean. Not to mention that it is impossible to achieve all of these points. If it is realized, it will only accelerate the reproduction of the population, and then in another two hundred years, the population will reach more than 60 million households, 400 million people, and the crisis will come again.
And there's more.
For example, the children of this clan, the problem is not too strict now, and they are kept in captivity in the capital or Yingtianfu together, but in another one or two hundred years, as long as the Jin people do not go south, then look at it, just to support these children of the clan, the country does not know how much burden it will have to bear in a year.
In the past, Wang Ju's idea was to let the Song Dynasty survive some crises, and then promote his mathematics, physics and chemistry, establish an industrial tree, and let the Song Dynasty enter the dream of the rough industrial age. Even Wang Ju summoned fifty students from Hengqu and began to prepare for the industrial tree. But now think about it, with the current foundation, if you want to improve the preliminary industrial tree in two hundred years, not to mention Wang Ju to promote, that is, a scientist to promote, it is still impossible to achieve.
Thinking of this, he said: "I can't compensate you, and now I won't hypocritically persuade you to marry." ”
"You, you're talking nonsense again, and now that I have a gift from heaven with me, I'm satisfied."
"Your Highness, I plan to let Tianci manage the continent on the other side in the future."
"That continent is big."
"It's very large, about two or three of my dynasty area, but many areas are like the Western Xia, lack of larger rivers, the largest few rivers, at most similar to the Jishui Huai River, compared to such a vast area, the water source is scarce, so many areas are desert Gobi, the area that can really be cultivated is less than half of our dynasty, but there are still many areas suitable for grazing, if according to the current standards, if it is properly managed, it can accommodate 10 million households, it can not be more."
This refers to the number of people that can be accommodated, but where can you get so many people? However, Wang Ju means that it is possible to let Zhao Niannu's son be the king of this continent in the future, and he may not be the king of a small country, and use this as compensation.
"You, don't think so much," Zhao Niannu said with some amusement, and said, "But I wish you to take care all the way, and don't work too hard in everything." ”
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Soon after the two met in secret, Wang Ju left the capital. But he has not taken his younger brother away yet, and continues to let him stay in Guozijian to study. In fact, it is to make Zhao Ji feel at ease......
In this way, it is very bad.
It is impossible for Zhao Ju to listen to Wang Ju alone, even if Wang Ju is really like a god.
So he summoned another important minister, Zhang Fangping.
This person's trajectory is very similar to Wang Ju, when he was in Song Renzong, because he did not attach Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan, and did not attach Lu Yi Jian Yanshu, although he was quite talented, he was not allowed to be reused.
When Zhao Ji ascended the throne, it was still the same, he disagreed with Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo and others, and opposed Wang Anshi's changes, so he continued to stay in the place.
Therefore, such a minister may be more credible.
And counting, Zhang Fangping can be regarded as a long-famous minister, not to mention the role played by Zhang Fangping in the fall of Korea.
Zhao Ji asked: "What good strategy does the ancestor have to defend against the enemy?" ”
Zhang Fangping said: "The ancestors are not diligent and far-sighted, such as Li Yixing in Xiazhou, Feng Hui in Lingwu, and Yuqing in Hexi, all of which are hereditary, so there is nothing wrong with the border. Dong Zunzhi Huanzhou, Guo Jin guarded Xishan, and Li Hanchao guarded Guannan, all of which were more than ten years, giving them excellent and lenient grammar, so they received millions of dollars with 100,000 and five troops. Therefore, in the end of the life of Taizu, the border is not shrugged, and the world is happy. ”
This is also a good statement, but Guan Jian is now allowed to allow military generals to command the three major rights of politics, economy and military in the border towns and cities?
Besides, does Zhao Ji have Zhao Kuangyin's military talent, no, how to control the atrium command?
And Zhao Kuangyin really didn't want to plot against Yan Yun. It's not that it's not figured. But the meal has to be eaten in one bite. Jinghu, Bashu, Southern Han, Southern Tang, after eating, you will eat Hedong. If Zhao Kuangyin is not dead, eat Hedong, and don't need soldiers Yanyun?
So where did the controversy come from, first the north and then the south, and then the north?
But there are no thunder people below the words. Zhang Fangping said again: "And Taizong Ping merged with the state, so he wanted to take the swallow thistle, which led to the Khitan trouble, Cao Bin, Liu Tingrang, Fu Qian, etc. Dozens of battles, each with more than 100,000 soldiers. and migrated Li Yixing, Feng Hui and other clans, so there was a change of Li Jiqian. At the beginning of Zhenzong, Zhao Deming accepted the money, and the Ke of the Yuanyuan, and then allied with the Khitan, and so far people do not know the military revolution. It can be described as a great cause of Shengde. The matter of the ancestors is roughly like this. It can also be used as a reference. In recent years, the border ministers have built a pioneering proposal, all of them are people who are lucky enough to take risks, and if they want to be safe in the world, they will try to throw, and if they succeed, they will benefit from it, and if they don't succeed, they will let their troubles happen, and they can't listen to it. ”
If there was no Wang Ju, Zhao Ji might be able to listen to some of it.
But now he couldn't listen anymore.
Cao Bin, Liu Tingrang, and Fu Qian refer to the Battle of Qigou Pass, the Battle of Junziguan, and the Battle of Yingzhou in Song Liao.
These three battles were indeed defeated, not only the three battles, but also the battle of Gaoliang River was also defeated miserably, but that battle was a personal expedition by Song Taizong, and Zhang Fangping did not mention it, which also has a meaning.
That's it, Zhao Ji won't be stingy to this point.
People are changing, they are changing, and Zhang Fangping has also changed.
However, apart from the fiasco of these battles, the Song army did not have a victorious campaign? Not to mention the battle of Yang Linggong Yanmen Pass, which many people in later generations know, as well as the battle of Mancheng, the battle of Tujiaozhai, the battle of Tang River, the battle of Xu River, the battle of Ziqi River, the battle of Xiongzhou, the battle of Mozhou, and the battle of the Weilu Army Cavalry Conference, these battles The Song army was the victorious side, especially the Battle of Mancheng, the Battle of Tang River and the Battle of Xu River, the Battle of Mancheng almost killed half of the Liao army that came to attack, and in the last two battles, even the Liao God of War Yelu Xiuge was beaten to the ground.
Where did the dozens of battles come from, with more than 100,000 dead soldiers?
There are more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians who died in Qigou Pass, but many of them are people's husbands, not soldiers, and although the Song army was defeated in the two battles of Junziguan and Yingzhou, there were 100,000 casualties, could it be that the civilians killed by the Liao army were also counted?
In fact, the most reliable statement is Wang Ju's statement, compared with the armies of Song and Liao, the Liao army has a slight upper hand, but if the Song army does not invade the Liao State, it is only a defensive war, then it can take advantage of the geographical advantage and the situation, and in turn can gain the upper hand.
Zhang Fangping's statement is an extreme distortion of historical facts.
And Li Deming's matter, Wang Ju also explained that Song Zhenzong's approach at that time was wrong, at least he had to support the Liugu Department, although Li Deming did not invade the Song Dynasty, but because of the acquiescence and inaction of the Song Dynasty, the Western Xia got the Hexi Corridor, and the power grew, and finally became the danger of the Song Dynasty.
So this conversation made Zhao Ji very disappointed.
At this time, Wang Ju's "senior brother" Lu Dazhong also committed evil, he said in Hedong that the country could not back down, it was precisely because Qing Li had retreated once, and now the Liao State came to blackmail again, if the Liao State formed a convention, the consequences would be unimaginable.
If the court does not obey, I will be removed from this official position, and I will not be able to do this kind of traitorous thing.
But when things come to this, if you don't let a step, Liaoguo will not give up.
However, there were many opinions, and Zhao Ji didn't know what to do, so he thought of Wang Anshi again.
Therefore, Lu Huiqing has also changed.
Bo Xuzhou Li Feng, the former mayor of Yuyao County, was dismissed from his errand because he did not do well as an official, and he was idle at home, so he said a few complaining words. happened to be heard by Zhu Tang, a common man in Yizhou, and he reported to the court that Zhu Feng had a conspiracy.
Zhao Fu asked Zhou Fu to go down to review the case, Zhou Fu first arrested Zhu Feng, and then searched his house, but he didn't expect to get the letters between Zhao Shiju, a disciple of the clan, and Zhu Feng.
Zhao Shiju's father is Zhao Congzhen, Zhao Congzhen's father is Zhao Weineng, and Zhao Weineng's father is Zhao Defang.
However, since Song Zhenzong, several generations of people have been "reflecting" Zhao Kuangyi's approach, so they are not thin on Zhao Defang's lineage, such as Zhao Shiju, who was appointed as a right Yulin general. Although he is an official, he will receive a lot of salary every year.
When it came to the children of the clan, Zhou Fu didn't dare to check further, so he reported it to the imperial court. Zhao Ji was worried when he saw it, after all, the change of law also made some of the clan's children very opposed. Therefore, Zhou Fu was moved to the official of Kaifeng Prefecture and continued to investigate the case.
Zhou Fu continued to investigate, in fact, there was no objection, but whether it was Zhao Shiju or Zhu Feng, he did say some complaints.
Then the investigation process was passed and sent to the imperial court. It's up to the court to deal with it.
Of course, this case first went through the Chinese book. Lu Huiqing looked at the case. I accidentally saw a Taoist priest from Sichuan. It's called Li Shining.
He immediately came to his senses and persuaded Zhao Ji to continue to investigate the case strictly.
It can be judged lightly, and the big thing can be turned into a small thing, and the small thing can be turned into a small thing. It can also be sentenced heavily, after all, it is impossible to tell if it is touched by the children of the clan, look at the defeat of the Western Jin Dynasty, and the battle between the kings of the Song, Qi, Liang and Chen dynasties, Zhao Ji thought about it. I agreed.
So the imperial court re-sent Deng Juan in the imperial history, Fan Bailu of the Imperial Court and Xu Xi in the imperial history to deal with the case.
Fan Bailu's father is Fan Zhen, but you can imagine how much he hates Wang Anshi, so under the inducement of Lu Huiqing, he became Lu Huiqing's gun. Again, the fool can only be controlled by Homo sapiens.
quickly pointed the finger at Li Shining.
This Li Shining is said to be "self-talking, tricky, and skillful." He can't read books, but he can compose poems with his mouth. It's quite talented, but the words are bizarre. There are proverbs that are designed to deceive people. Traveling all over the world and the Beijing Division, the ministers and nobles are multiple".
In fact, it is a swaggering and deceitful magic stick, and it is of the same nature as Master Wang. Master Wang has succeeded in the modern society more than 900 years later, even if a large country cannot deal with it, in this era, if it is done well, it will be even more successful.
Li Shining was even more successful.
Not only in and out of the mansion of the minister, but even the children of the clan have many people to travel with him, it just so happened that Song Renzong gave Zhao Shu's biological mother Xianyou County Jun a poem "Elegy", which has the meaning of being passed on, Li Shining did not know from that channel, and saw that Zhao Shiju's mother was in good health, so he plagiarized this poem, chose the middle four sentences, changed the first and last four sentences slightly, and gave it to Zhao Shiju, and secretly said that Zhao Shiju should be given by heaven. It is rumored that Zhao Shiju was very happy after hearing this, and the bribe was very generous.
may have said some rebellious words, but he won't teach Zhao Shiju to rebel, does he have that ability and strength?
But when he got to Fan Bailu, he began to add oil and vinegar.
Under his weaving, he quickly set up several major crimes for Zhao Shiju, Zhao Shiju "recruited bandits, discussed the military and coercion, visited astronomical mutations, and served the country to take blame", and collected "There is a copy of "Offensive and Defensive Diagrams", which was obtained by the minister Zhang Zongli.
However, for the literary prison, the Song Dynasty was very lenient, so it was clearly stipulated that "the prohibition of the book of prophecy, although it is three thousand miles away, but it is not because of the incident, there is no way to find out, so the law is set up, people are not afraid, and the family of Shishu or the collection of legends is not strange." ”
Therefore, it can only be said that Li Shining has gone too far, and at most he will be punished by 3,000 miles.
However, Li Shining gave Zhao Shiju a golden iron dragon knife, saying: "If you are not public, you can't take it seriously." And gave Zhao Shiju's mother Kang's poem "Geng, Deng Zhongxun, Menlian Kun Rirong", Shiju and others "explain their poems, thinking that they are the most treasured auspicious".
Geng Deng is saying that Deng Yu and Geng Yi of the Eastern Han Dynasty are both ministers, although it is not right, it cannot be regarded as a rebellion.
However, Wang Gong, a commentator in Dali, "saw Xu Geyan, an observer of Hezhong Mansion, saying that 'the world is like Taizu', and counter-persuaded him to burn the documents"
Liu Jin of Zhiyingzhou "has more books to return to the world than Tengfu, and there is a saying that 'no one can live in'".
Qin Biao, a student of Si Tianjian, presented "The Stars and the World Residence".
Well, the shocking case has been made!
The imperial court immediately sentenced Zhao Shiju to death, Li Feng, Xu Ge, and the medical officer Liu Yuling Chi were executed, and Zhang Jing, the chief of the prison book, and Hao Shixuan, the Jinshi of Wuju, were beheaded, Qin Biao and Li Shining were put in charge of Hunan, and the other officials involved in the case, Teng Fu, Wang Gong, and Liu Jin, were demoted and dismissed.
However, Xu Xi has always been unconvinced, because these are some plausible "rebellions", which cannot be stringed, and the Song Dynasty was innocent, and some ministers had a very big mouth and dared to say anything. If this kind of string continues in the future, not only these people will be implicated, but I am afraid that half of the ministers in the court will be sad.
But it didn't work for him to talk alone, and in the end, Zhao Li and the others were immediately executed, and they didn't wait for the autumn queen, Xu Xi was still thinking at home, why this case was so big.
You must know that this was in the Song Dynasty, not in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Suddenly, he thought of a person, and he also came to his senses, and immediately found Zhao Ji and said, The emperor said one thing to you, this case is so big, it's a little wrong, it's some people who have thoughts. Why, because Li Shining has some talents, so Wang Anshi also appreciated it, and Wang Anshi also let him stay in his house for half a year.
Once Li Shining was determined to be a major crime of treason, Wang Anshi would not be able to escape...... (To be continued......)
