Even if the imperial court loses a large amount of salt tax due to lowering the price of salt, it is definitely much smaller than the cost of accumulating heavy troops in the northwest. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

If we can really get rid of the trouble in the northwest in one fell swoop, even if the salt tax is lost, it will be worth it. The salt tax that the imperial court can collect in the northwest every year is only three to five million guan, but the military expenditure on the western army is as high as ten million guan!

Which is more cost-effective, you don't have to think about it to know!

But....

It's the same as the picture that Cao Tong and Pan Feng brought, it's not time!

Now, the most anxious thing in the Great Song Dynasty is not the northwest, but the floods in Hebei, but the lack of money.

Tang Yi's simplest financial warfare method, although it is a good policy, it is not effective in one or two years, this is a long-term investment, and Da Song cannot afford it. Now, even if it is a salt tax of three or five million, the Great Song Dynasty can't afford to lose it!

After Fan Chunren went down, Zhao Zhen groaned for a long time.

One is thinking about Fan Laoer's strategy;

The second is to think about whether it is appropriate to put Fan Chunren in the fourth.

The ten candidates have seen it one by one, and none of them have such insight as Fan Chunren. Zhao Zhen felt that if he sharpened it, within twenty years, he would be the material to dominate the East Mansion. Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen waved his pen and drew Fan Chunren from fourth to first....

I don't know, if Hu Ai and the teachers of Taixue knew that Guanlan Academy had won the champion and the top spot, would they be so angry that they vomited blood?

...

In March of the first year of Huangyou, Zhao Zhen appointed the dragon and tiger list of the ugly department, and there were 291 jinshi in the Ministry of Gifts, and Fan Chunren, Feng Jing, and Qu Yuanrang were ranked among the top three tripods.

Seventeen students from Guanlan Academy took the exam, and ten people ranked first.

Outside the Donghua Gate, when the preacher pronounced the names of the new class jinshi one by one. The ten Zhongdi Gongshi of Guanlan Academy did not rush to enter the imperial city with the attendants, but stood in a row and turned to look at the dense crowd.

At the front of the bustling crowd, Fan Zhongyan, Du Yan, Yin Zhu, Sun Fu, Liu Yong and other teachers stood solemnly with kind faces.

"Thanks! Shien! Fan Chunren took the lead in shouting, and then bowed down.

"Thanks! Shien! A group of Guanlan Shizi followed.

At this moment,

Fan, Du and others seem to have returned to the era of Confucianism in white clothes and Donghuamen....

At this moment,

Compared to that year, it is especially glorious!

.....

Guanlan Academy won the champion and the top spot, nineteen people took the exam, more than half of the high schools, this result is simply too scary.

As the leader of Taixue, Hu Ai not only did not take the Guanlan exam in the ranking, but also did not worry about the number of people. Twenty-eight people entered the temple for the test, and nine people ranked first, which was one worse than Guanlan.

Lao Hu's suffocation...

However, there is no way to hold back the song, and if you want to get back to the field, you have to wait for four years. Now, he can only watch Guanlan go out of the limelight, and all over the country will go back to the mountain.

...

As soon as the spring was over, Zhao Zhen finally got free. On this day, Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi were called to the Funing Palace.

Just after the imperial court selection ceremony, Yue Zhen seemed to be in a good mood, not only praised the two for their disaster treatment, but also deliberately took a hundred taels of gold from the inner treasury and gave it to the two ministers. Even when Wen Kuanfu got a new son, Zhao Zhen said a few words of auspicious blessings.

Wen Yanbo is in His Royal Highness, looking at the nose and the nose looking at the heart. The heart said, the official family is playing a routine? Something's got to be done...

Sure enough, Zhao Zhen went around for a long time, and finally missed the horse's feet, which means: You see, this year's talent selection ceremony is full of talents, this is the saint blessed me with the Great Song Dynasty, should I go back to the mountain to worship the Wen Shengshi?

Wen Yanbo said: If you want to go out, just say it, what are you pulling on a broken stone?

However, Zhao Zhen has been locked up in the palace for a year, and it is nothing to go out and let it go. After exchanging glances with Fu Bi, he said respectfully: "The selection of talents in the imperial court is indeed a grand event of learning and teaching, and you should go and thank the saints for giving them talents!" ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, Wen Kuanfu was quite upright, of course he was happy. With a wave of his hand, the two Qing family will go down, and don't forget to cooperate tomorrow morning.

It's not a problem!

The next morning, Wen Yanbo really played as scheduled: Please move to Huishan to worship the stone.

Moreover, this product was also sold to Zhao Zhen, saying that this Wen Shengshi is in the world, it is a real auspicious rui, His Majesty should not think of paying tribute to the saint when selecting the virtuous, it should form a normal state, and it should go to worship in February and March every year.

Zhao Zhen almost burst into tears, Wen Kuanfu is really a good person!

It's just that Zhao Zhen is a little bit aggressive, he not only wants to go back to the mountain by himself, but also wants to go back to the mountain with the queen Cao.

Fu and Wen said in their hearts, is this unclear that they are going on vacation? It's too obvious....

However, Zhao Zhen insisted on taking the queen on a trip, and the two couldn't help it. So, at the end of March, Zhao Zhen drove back to the mountain with Empress Cao, and a group of courtiers drove with him.

This time, Zhao Zhen didn't let the children of each family come to accompany him.

...

It's not the first time I've taken over the car back to the mountain, and I can say that I am familiar with the road. We won't mention what kind of driving and worshipping stones, just talk about the real purpose of Zhao Zhen's coming.

Let go of the wind, this is certainly one thing, but it is not the main reason. The most important thing is to consult Empress Cao!

In the persimmon case, Li Bingchen has been under secret investigation, but he has no clue. However, whether it is Zhao Zhen or Queen Cao, the formula for reducing qi and dispersing can never be used anymore.

Since the second half of last year, there have been several concubines in the palace with good news, and Zhao Zhen is simply ecstatic. After all, no one wants to be the queen, and he is still the emperor.

However, Empress Cao has been off medicine for nearly a year, but there is still no movement. The most terrible thing is that Zhang Guifei, who is the biggest threat to the Cao family in the palace, also sent out a happy omen in August last year, which made the Cao family even more worried.

In this regard, Zhao Zhen is not without taking it to heart, Queen Cao has been in the palace for more than ten years, and has been criticized for being childless, and even Zhao Zhen used to complain more or less about the Cao family. Now that it has been found out that she was framed, Zhao Zhen feels ashamed of Cao's family, and also hopes that she can take off the dragon and solve the pain of being childless for more than ten years.

So what to do? The imperial doctor in the palace believed it, but Zhao Zhen thought of Sun Langzhong again.

This time he brought Empress Cao here, Zhao Zhen just wanted Sun Langzhong to see if the queen really had a hidden illness and was destined to have no children!

After Sun Langzhong saw it, he clearly told Empress Cao that there was no hidden disease. It's just that Queen Cao has a slight yin deficiency, and she has been taking persimmon for more than ten years, so it is not easy to conceive, but with more recuperation, there is still a chance.

...

Empress Cao's affairs can only be handed over to Sun Langzhong, no one has any other way, and it is useless for Zhao Zhen to be anxious.

On the first night of staying in Guanlan, Zhao Zhen called Tang Yi to Xingzai. This is the real purpose of his coming and going back to the mountain, in addition to consulting Empress Cao.

So what did Zhao Zhen do with Tang Yi?

Very simple...

The court was short of money, and Zhao Zhen really couldn't come up with the money, so he hit the idea on Guanlan.....

He wants to push out the Guanlan Business Cooperation now to relieve the pressure on the imperial court's finances!
