Chapter 359: A Smart Man

Saying this, Zhao Ji was relieved.

The position is easy to manage, Jingzhao Mansion can be mixed for a few years, and the state can be mixed for a few years, and after the mix, Beijing Daimyo's Mansion, Nanjing Yingtian Mansion, Xijing Luoyang, and Han Qi will be separated. Anyway, I can't let Han Qi enter the two mansions.

Zhao Ji made up his mind, and then said, "That hereditary." ”

Why Wang Ju didn't dare to say a lot, this is the reason, Zhao Jixin is good, and he wants to change the Song Dynasty for the better all of a sudden. But he was too aggressive.

Yes, the Song Dynasty has reached the point where it can't be changed, but the more this time, the more you can't rush. Besides, there are no shortcomings in that country, anyway, Wang Ju has never seen it.

He whispered: "Your Majesty, in fact, the elimination of redundant personnel involves this hereditary, although not thorough. But your majesty should remember that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, just like the Western Han Dynasty, from the accumulation of strength by Emperor Wenjing, and then by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to turn this strength into combat effectiveness, and then to the recuperation of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, how many years did the Han Dynasty go? Although the whole nation regards Han as its glory and Han as its national name, there will be no such great country if there is a difference in the middle. ”

"However, Empress Lu ......" Zhao Ji is not easy to say in the next sentence, that is, after Lu Pheasant stepped down, did the Han Dynasty that was left behind have the current Song Dynasty pit? Is there this big black hole?

"Your Majesty, it's wrong to think like this, you only see the arrears, but you don't see the wealth accumulated by the people, after the death of Empress Lu, do the people have such a huge wealth?"

Isn't it just an accumulation, look at those developed countries in later generations, which one country doesn't owe a lot of debt? The more developed you are, the more you owe!

In fact, here, Zhao Ji is still somewhat resistant. After all, he is young and vigorous, and the huge black hole needs to be filled, and Xixia wants to be extinguished. Once the summer is cut, then you have to prepare a huge amount of money, 100 million, 200 million, God knows? That is, he wants to make a financial surplus of more than 300 million yuan at least in the past ten years in order to realize his dream. This live ......

But overall, Zhao Ji is very satisfied with this time.

Although Wang Ju is not omnipotent, he can do more than the ministers he knows, besides, is there an omnipotent person in this world?

I'm afraid that Wang Anshi, who is about to come to Beijing, will not be able to do it either.

…………

Han Qi went to Beijing.

The Tanguts began to fight back.

Why there were so many Gou Harmony factions in the Song Dynasty, in fact, it is also desirable. Why, the finances are too difficult to fight. However, even if the finances are not difficult, they do not want to fight, and when there is a war, the money will be washed like water. How good it is not to fight, just like Song Renzong in his later years, there was no large-scale war, so disaster relief and relief, and the people were happy. So the reward was lavish, and the officials were happy. But as long as there is a major war, that dream-like era is gone.

However, the Western Xia also couldn't afford to fight, at least this year, and lost World War II, and the three armies were a little depressed.

Therefore, the magnates led by Wei Minglang repeatedly persuaded the Liang family to make friends with the Song Dynasty. However, after the Weimingshan incident, the Lord and faction gradually gained the upper hand.

So Liang did one thing, that is, Yang Ding, the security guard that Sima Guang repeatedly attacked.

Why did he kill Yang Ding, even Wang Ju didn't know, after all, Yang Ding was only a small person in history.

But Liang does seem to have a reason to kill Yang Ding.

Yang Ding had been an envoy to the Western Xia before, and when he came to the Western Xia, he didn't know what means the Western Xia used, Yang Ding was frightened by them, and bowed down to Li Liangzuo as a minister. Li Liangzuo was very satisfied, so he gave Yang Ding a lot of money, and Yang Ding immediately promised to find an opportunity to persuade the Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers to retreat from some of the idle fields.

Then Yang Ding came back.

At this time, Song Shenzong ascended the throne, and the security army was vacant, so Zhao Ji thought of Yang Ding, who had been an envoy to Western Xia, and summoned Yang Ding to the palace to meet. Yang Ding swore an oath to show his bravery, and said that Li Liangzuo gave him a sword, and he once wanted to stab Li Liangzuo to death with a sword to serve the monarch.

What a brave courtier, so Zhao Ji let Yang Ding know about the security army, which even Sima Guang believed, so he repeatedly said that Yang Ding was not good, why is it bad, Yang Ding is a radical minister, can it be good?

When the Western Xia people heard that it was Yang Dingzhi Security Army, they were very happy.

It's okay, be friendly with each other, and show contact.

Yang Ding had this handle in the hands of the Xixia people, and he had no choice but to blempty on the field outside, I am a minister who is not afraid of death. In his bones, he was helpless with the Xixia people.

The seed broke out, and the Tangut people did not win the battle, so they had to use both soft and hard words.

In addition, he sent someone to contact Yang Ding behind his back, and sent a lot of money, Yang Ding, you can also say good things for us. Yang Ding had no choice but to agree, I will say good things for you. Did you say anything? really said it, but he only dared to say it in front of Lu Xu, and he didn't dare to go to the court. can't go to the book, how does the emperor think of himself when he gets on the book?

The Liang family had a misunderstanding, thinking that Yang Ding was a false shot from the Song Dynasty, and while deliberately sending Yang Ding and the Western Xia people to make eye contacts, so as to delay time, they used this time to quickly settle down the famous mountains of Suizhou, this is a conspiracy!

Especially Wang Ju, his movements were very fast, he got the news in front, and sent Zhao Zhuang to ride back on horseback, and the Zhu and Li families immediately transferred a batch of grain from Hedong first, crossed the Yellow River crossing, and arrived in Suizhou.

This time is still a bit short, and there is not much food to be transferred.

However, with the grain, the accounts of the various ministries of Weimingshan could not figure out how the grain was transferred, anyway, it was supported or traded by the Song Dynasty, so the ministries began to be safe. There are some subordinates who don't want to surrender, and this time they are silent. It's not good to surrender to the Song Dynasty, but we have to live. Look, the front surrendered to the Song Dynasty, and the grain came over later. And what else is that against?

And the heirs were also overjoyed in their hearts, and they didn't know how to deal with it, so Suizhou had to be fully responsible for him, but Lu Xu, a little rabbit cub, didn't put money or food, and the three armies were a little uneasy. However, these grains and grasses continued to come over, and the hearts of the three armies were also settled. Isn't it just an exchange, just in the battle of Huaining Village, a large number of cattle, horses, sheep and camels were obtained, and how much grain did a horse have to exchange?

This move is too ruthless.

Therefore, the Liang clan was ready to retaliate against Yang Ding, and first asked the envoy to inform Yang Ding, and we went to the border to discuss, but we were not clear in the security military city. Yang Ding was forced to come to the border with the security army's capital inspector Shi Zhen, Shunning Zhai advocate Shi Yong, and his son Yang Zhongtong.

Talking about a ghost, as soon as the group arrived at the border, Li Chonggui and Han Daoshan, important ministers of Western Xia, came out with ambush soldiers and killed Yang Ding and the three of them, Yang Zhongtong knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but he was not killed, and was taken to Western Xia.

So Liang is just a crazy woman, but by no means a heroine like Xiao Yanyan. Look at Xiao Yanyan's ease of retraction and timing, how can Liang's point compare with her? What is the use of killing Yang Ding, there are not too many incompetent officials like him in the Song Dynasty, not to mention killing one Yang Ding, killing a hundred Yang Ding, it will not have an impact on the Song Dynasty, but the more you kill, the more you will help the Song Dynasty.

But this killing, it came to an end.

There is also Wang Ju's assassination case.

For the time being, the news has not yet reached the capital.

However, there were smart people in Western Xia.

After Li Liangzuo's death, the Liang family attached great importance to this Song Ji. First, Song Ji successfully took her husband out of the Song Realm, but he was dead anyway, but it was the same death, and the way of death was different, if he was killed in the Song Realm, or captured and died, it would be too big a blow to the morale of the Western Xia.

Secondly, Song Ji repeatedly reminded her that her husband didn't listen and was finally defeated.

Therefore, Song Ji successfully ascended to the throne and also got a bachelor.

When Song Ji heard that Yang Ding had been killed, he subconsciously felt that this move was not very good. However, he didn't think so long-term, and then did something that made Xixia and Lu Shu even worse.

He met with the Liang family and said, "Queen Mother, the minister has a discussion." ”

"Song Qing, what's the point?"

"Queen Mother, in the battle of Dashun City last year, many Song Dynasty soldiers wore heavy foot armor and ran like flying, which once made my Xia Jun think that God helped me, and I was discouraged. At that time, everyone didn't pay attention, and later Weichen sent scouts to inquire at the border, only to learn that the Song Dynasty invented a method of smelting steel by me to the sword of the Xia Kingdom. ”

"You mean that the Song Dynasty used the Xia State Sword method to forge armor?"

"No, the Song Dynasty didn't have that much money, in fact, according to the ministers, the Song Dynasty's financial embarrassment was even more difficult than we thought."

"How so?"

"Queen Mother, the Song Dynasty is rich, but the money is in the hands of Haoqiang, scholars, relatives, and magnates, but the treasury has no money. Otherwise, our country is in danger. This is a blessing for my country. Therefore, they are reluctant to use the method of our country's real Xia National Sword to forge armor, which is a new method. Using this new method to smelt steel, a set of armor can reduce more than 20 catties. ”

"So much?" Liang was taken aback.

What kind of difference will there be between an armor that is less than thirty pounds and an armor that is fifty pounds on the battlefield?

"The Queen Mother doesn't have to worry, it's just a small-scale forging and dressing, and now I'm afraid that only a very small number of commanders on Huanqing Road have changed their new armor. As for the other officers and soldiers, the Song Dynasty did not have that money to change clothes. ”

"We must get this kind of steel-smelting technology."

"It's not easy, it turns out that before the battle of Dashun City, Huanqing Road secretly created some armor weapons, and as the war was to be restored, the number became smaller and smaller, first the workshop by the Hwachi River stopped, and then the workshop in Gyeongju also stopped. Subsequently, the Song Dynasty replaced Cai Ting with Li Suzhi in Qingzhou, and there was no workshop in the northwest to produce. It may continue to produce, but when it is transferred to the capital of the Song Dynasty, it is estimated that the scale of the Song Dynasty will not be too large due to financial difficulties. ”

"Why didn't you get it then?"

"At that time, that kid and Cai Ting were very cunning, and we didn't even know any rumors, how to get them? However, the minister thought of one thing, that is, there is still a place where the security army is using this new method of smelting steel, imitating the Xia State sword of our dynasty, forging the new sword and selling it for profit. ”

"Wangjiazhai?" Wangjiazhai's Taoxi Sword is not very famous, and even the Liang family has heard of it.

"It's this stockade, it's not too far from the border, but this stockade is now building a tall wall, and the Queen Mother can't be despised either."

"How many people are there in the stockade?"

"One hundred and seventy or eighty households, but the Gui Niang clan in front of them has a close relationship with them, and they must not be guarded against."

"Is it okay to have 5,000 soldiers and horses?"

"Five thousand soldiers and horses are enough."

Liang immediately gave the order.

This is not revenge, her enemy is Wang Ju, but for this steel-smelting technology.

The Xia army in the area from Hengshan to the Great Wall Ridge began to assemble.

Because the grain harvest in Yanzhou was slightly poor, the soju workshop in Yanzhou also began to reduce production significantly. But after a few years of sales, many Tangut people accepted the spirit, especially when winter began to come, the smaller the production, the higher the price, and the benefits were too large, so it did not stop completely.

The security army is restored, and it is traded in the security army.

So the news spread from the mouths of some businessmen to the Zhu family.

The Zhu family immediately notified Wang Jiazhai and sent someone to deliver a letter to the capital, but in the hands of Wang Ju, it must be too late.

Therefore, Zhu Huan took several villagers from Wangjiazhai to visit Lu Xu. Lu Xuzheng was very annoyed by the matter between Chong Ge and Yang Ding, and when he heard this news, he said angrily: "What about the enemy? ”

Zhu Huan said: "Duke Lu, when the enemy comes, it's too late." ”

"The enemy is coming, and so-and-so sends reinforcements to help. Besides, the news you got is not clear, and now Yanzhou is an eventful time, do you want this official to mobilize the people in a small village for a piece of news from an unknown source. If it is fake, how can the official explain it to the official? Confess to the imperial court? ”

Zhu Huan had no choice but to take a few Wangjiazhai villagers back. But as soon as the words fell, the five thousand soldiers and horses of Western Xia had already swooped down from the Great Wall Ridge. There are too many troops, and the Gui Niang clan can only protect themselves, and they can't divide their forces to help. Zhu Huan had no choice but to find Lu Shu again.

Lu Shu said: "When the enemy comes, a certain immediately sends reinforcements. ”

At this time, he still did not send troops to help.

However, Zhu Huan understood, Wang Ju once asked Lu Shu for reinforcements, but Lu Shu did not agree, but that time made Lu Shu very embarrassed, so Lu Shu may have a grudge, needless to say, it is impossible to send this reinforcement. In other words, the Wangjiazhai is broken, the whole village is killed, and the Xixia people have withdrawn, so the reinforcements will come at that time...... R1152
