However, Wang Anshi's mouth opened, and he didn't say anything.

In fact, Wang Anshi also made a move, but it was unsuccessful, and by the end of the Song Dynasty, the number of officials was not more than 25,000, but more than 28,000, and the more they were cut, the more they were cut. Why, Wang Anshi didn't do it from the root!

And he has three ideas, Zhao Ji and Wang Ju.

Wang Anshi's accumulation of wealth has indeed gone crazy, and even the newly recovered people in the Xihe area have to be taxed, but in fact, Wang Shao used the city law to collect taxes in disguise, which is more than tax income. But Wang Anshi was still not satisfied.

Zhao Xu's root is to fill in the black hole, accumulate money and silk, use it to cut down Xia, destroy Western Xia first, without the burden of Western Xia, and immediately the Song Dynasty is light. Wang Anshi is clever in "art", but he is not as good as Zhao Ji in the use of money. Zhao Ji also did not use a good man, let Gao Zunyu command, and let the seed be selfish for a while, and let Xu Xi cooperate with the seed brother, so after the fiasco, there was another fiasco, and he died of anger. But they also did not touch another fundamental thing, annexation, or hereditary!

Zhao Ji looked at the other person: "Tang Qing, why do you say?" ”

Tang Jie, Tang Sanshao.

Da Shao, Bao Zheng, Er Shao, Wu Kui.

At that time, the name of these three workers caused a sensation in the world, Bao Zheng died early, did not go into the water, and his name was not stained, Wu Kui fell into the turmoil of the Korean Dynasty, and the evening was not guaranteed. Tang Jie and Wang Anshi raised the bar, but they did not win, and they were not guaranteed in the late festival.

However, this person is a famous big mouth, he fought Zhang Yaozuo back then, and then spelled Wen Yanbo after fighting, not to mention Sima Guang, even Wen Yanbo was a little afraid of him.

Now he has been promoted from the third envoy to the governor of the government.

Tang Jie twisted his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, there are too many places in the imperial examination. ”

"I have been cut down, and I will follow the edict of the first emperor, and there shall be no more than two hundred people."

"There are too many shades."

"There are too many shades, too much, and when you go to the country, you are as light as a leaf, and your name is as heavy as a mountain through the ages; And you are handsome and handsome, and the treacherous bones are cold, and the court has always been a minister. Medium, medium. Zhao Ji praised.

Wen Yanbo is not very happy, this is a poem that Tang Jie's fight for Wen Yanbo and his relegation to Lingnan, Li Shizhong sighed that Tang Jie's uprightness and gave him a poem. However, does Old Tang care about Wen Yanbo's feelings? On the contrary, he was very moved, it turned out that the emperor also knew that the old minister was a direct minister.

Immediately he was even more moved......

Zhao Ji took the jade seal again and said, "Without Tang Qing's words, I might have sold it that day, or it would have been transferred to someone else." ”

This is not selling jade seals, that means the country is lost!

Zhao Ji glanced at it again and said: "Wang Qi, you come to draft the edict, from now on, the empress dowager, the empress dowager, the prime minister can shadow the descendants, the sect, the different surname, and the guest shall not exceed four, the ruling and the three divisions of the East Palace shall not exceed three people, the middle scattered doctor shall not exceed two doctors, and the leading court Fenglang shall not exceed one doctor." ”

Wang Jue was stupid.

"Isn't Tang Qing right?"

"Yes, yes," what could Wang Qi say? Moreover, the phenomenon of redundant officials is already very strict, and if no measures are taken, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Then the officials of the capital, the bureaucrats above the county level, send a post official, enter the prefectures, counties, ministries and departments, as a court official, assist the governors in handling government affairs, so as to improve the survey, so that they can be hired in the future. They also have the right to perform affairs, but they must be true, otherwise they will be severely punished, and if they slander their superiors, they will be removed from their official positions. ”

Wang Jue was dumbfounded again.

This trick is ruthless, and it won't take more than ten years for the phenomenon of redundant officials to be reduced immediately. But, but ...... However, the emperor listed all the numbers, and even Bao Zheng's past recitals were turned out, and he couldn't write them anymore. So he wrote a draft edict.

There was silence in the hall.

Zhao Ji said: "Zhuqing, you often say to me about the righteousness of the saint, or how I do it. What I usually do, you have seen, take the lead in frugality. But how many of you are frugal? Five distractions, Sheji, I, you, your family, your relatives and clan friends. I am frugal and simple, I am the emperor, and I must set an example. You deserve to enjoy it, because I need you to help me govern this country. But I want you to put you, your family, your relatives and friends, and your clan behind Sheji and me. The country is the country, the country comes first, and the country comes later. And the Great Song Dynasty didn't treat you ministers badly! ”

It's too ruthless.

Some ministers saw that Wang Jue was writing a draft edict, and they wanted to oppose it, but after hearing this sentence, they immediately remained silent again.

When the edict was written, Zhao Ji immediately read it.

"Disperse, disperse."

Zhao Ji said, but when he walked out of the Yanhe Palace, a cold sweat broke out on his back.

Everyone walked out of the Yanhe Palace, and Lu Gongbi said, "Zifang, why are you so confused? ”

Tang Jie is not confused, but depressed, the reason for the fact is that there are too many people in the imperial examination, and the second is that there are too many favors. The old ones don't go, the new ones come again, they come again, so there are more and more redundant officials. But I just said it and didn't let His Majesty carry it out.

To whom does this Li'er go?

…………

"Emperor, it's so dangerous today," Gao Tao said.

"Queen Mother, this matter is not over, I believe that soon, the sons will receive a lot of petitions, but they will be embarrassed to say it publicly, so they will go around, use the righteousness of the saints, and use the family law of the ancestors."

"You've learned the laziness of that kid from the security guards," Gao said. But now she still likes it very much, can she be an emperor without a wrist?

"Queen Mother, this country has a big problem, for example, a prime minister, 300,000 yuan a month, 3,600 yuan a year. In the spring and winter, they were given twenty horses of silk and thirty horses of silk, and one hundred taels of cotton (real kapok) and two hundred pieces of money. Seventy attendants had food and clothing, and every month 1,200 sheaves of firewood, 1,600 scales of charcoal, and seven stones of salt. This year alone has to pay more than 10,000 yuan. There are more other famous halls, and the total is less than 30,000 guan, and like Han Qi, who has several first-class positions, it can reach 60,000 or 70,000. However, the monthly salary of a county lieutenant is less than six yuan, and the sum of various benefits is less than twenty yuan. ”

"Take your time."

"Erchen is very slow." This is also Wang Ju's teaching, so that Zhao Ji has time to complain to Gao.

Zhao Ji was reluctant at first, and Wang Ju said two words: "Cao Gao." ”

If Zhao Ji is doing things in front and Gao Tao is pulling a ladder in the back, can he do good deeds?

"This is Wang Anshi's idea?"

"No, it's Erchen's own solution."

"Nothing to do with that kid from the security forces?"

"It's okay, he talked about it, and he talked about taking advantage of the trend."

"It's a risk."

But this risk Zhao Xuan thinks that it is worth the risk, and it is not as difficult to find out as other places, this is the quota, easy to check.

"It's better not to cause a commotion."

"The queen mother, a few months ago, the sons and daughters discussed with Wen Yanbo about Wang Qinruo and Chen Pengnian, Wen Yanbo said that the palace was built at that time, all of them were opened, and more than half of the ancestors' savings were consumed, and the treasury is no longer full. Erchen also said that Wang Dan is the prime minister, and he must be without fault? Han Jiang said that once he tried to admonish him, the true sect would not obey him, and he would not allow him to go to the throne. The son said, if there is an inconvenience, how can you ask for blame? ”

Gao Tao was at a loss, it was on Zhenzong, it was too far, and she didn't know much.

Zhao Ji said again: "When Erchen entered Beijing, when he had dinner with Wang Ju, he talked about this matter again. Wang Ju said that although the inner treasury was empty at the end of Zhenzong, it was operated by the Empress Dowager Zhangxian, and the inner treasury was also full. Therefore, there were repeated disasters later, and Emperor Renzong allocated a large amount of money from the inner treasury to provide disaster relief. The most difficult time was after the Qingli War, when the inner treasury was empty, which caused thieves to rise because of the inability to provide disaster relief in time. However, the inner treasury was full again, but in his later years, Renzong ignored the state affairs, and the reward was excessive, which worsened when he arrived at the first emperor. Although Ding Wei is wrong, it will not affect it to this day. As for Wang Dan, he did not give extreme advice, but it was precisely because Wang Dan was in the dynasty and controlled the government that the country was not completely lost, so the merits outweighed the faults. ”

"If that's the case, he has some point."

Then Erchen talked to Sun Jue about the accumulation of evils, and Sun Jue used the hexagram to say that it was impossible not to reform the evils, and the revolution was at this time, and he regretted it after not reforming. Erchen talked to Wang Ju again, and Wang Ju said that it was very difficult. ”

"This kid is getting better and better, it's really hard."

Although Wang Ju is good, he is still not what Zhao Ji needs the most, first, his age and qualifications cannot be reused, and second, Wang Ju is a small knock, he can't wait.

Indeed, in terms of accumulating wealth, Wang Ju may no longer be able to increase the annual national income of the Song Dynasty to a terrifying amount of more than 180 million, think about the income of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhao Ji came to the Ying Pavilion.

After doing a big thing, it's time to listen.

Wang Anshi didn't speak, but said: "Your Majesty, I'm too impatient. ”

It's almost reckless.

"Wang Qing, you don't understand, redundant officials and redundant soldiers, like a fish in the throat, I will solve it sooner or later. This move not only reduces the number of officials at the root, but also has another intention. Once the reform began, the officials were still dead. Qing is helpless, I am helpless, do you want to replace all the officials together? ”

Now there is no problem, every state and county and ministry has a spare tire, and if you don't do anything, you can replace it!

Wang Anshi was also speechless.

Zhao Ji said again: "The reason why Tang Qing was chosen was because Tang Qing dared to speak, and the officials were a little jealous, and if it was someone else, they didn't dare to say it." ”

Speaking of this, he said to a eunuch beside him: "You go to the inner treasury and allocate two thousand silks and one hundred thousand dollars to reward Tang Jie." ”

He also said to Wang Anshi: "Wang Qing, you write another draft edict and give Tang Jieji the position of a scholar of the Xian Academy." ”

"He's a governor of political affairs, and it's not good to be a scholar of Jixian Academy, right?"

"This is to show the world that I need to be loyal and replace selfishness with public intentions."

Wang Anshi had no choice but to write a cursive edict.

Lao Tang carried a black pot, no white back, and got two thousand horses of silk, 100,000 yuan, you must know that even the southern suburbs festival that has just passed, the rewards of all the ministers have been halved one after another, and they can get such a money and silk reward, Lao Tang is the first one, and there is also a position as a scholar of Jixian Academy.

But the front rewarded him, and Tang Jie was even more depressed in the back, and immediately refused, but it was okay if he didn't refuse, and he was even more depressed when he refused, Wang Anshi wrote an edict full of flowers, so that he could not refuse, and also said that the world's direct ministers set an example, and said that the root cause of the country's malpractice was a precedent.

Tang Jie was almost so angry that he was about to vomit blood, this was not a reward, and he clearly pushed me into the fire pit with an iron heart.

The reward spread quickly, can anyone take on this scholar of Jixian Academy?

And what about the reward of so much money?

It's not Tang Jie's words, it's Tang Jie's words.

So Tang Jie was even more depressed when he went to the early dynasty, and he felt that almost everyone's eyes were staring at him, with knives and swords in those hundreds of eyes...... R1152
