North Song

Chapter 808: As many as tens of millions of poor people

Views:

Zhao Run was beaten and isolated again in the Mengxue Primary School in the palace. It was indeed pitiful.

Zhao Zhen deliberately checked one out, but after thinking twice, he gave up. He groped Zhao Run's head, "Why is there no one to accompany you? You are my emperor. I don’t know how many people want to accompany you in the world. play."

"But... But..."

Zhao Run stammered to speak.

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said: "Okay, you don't have to say much, I know what you mean."

"Chen Lin..."

"The servant is here."

"After all, there are too few students in the palace. You go to Cao, Li, Zhu and other homes to pass on my verbal order and let them choose a few children from the home and send them to the palace to study.

"The servant understands."

After Zhao Zhen ordered Chen Lin, he stared at Zhao Run and smiled: "In a few days, many people will enter the palace to play with you."

Zhao Run asked suspiciously: "Really?"

Zhao Zhen pretended to be stern, "When did I lie to you?"

"Is that true?"

Zhao Run screamed, breaking his tears into a smile: "Father, is there anyone in there who knows martial arts?"

Zhao Zhen was taken aback, and questioned: "What do you ask this for?"

Zhao Run said with a tight face, "I want them to help me fight Kou Tianci..."

At this point, Zhao Run paused and added, "Call Kou Hui to see..."

Zhao Zhen suddenly felt a headache, and immediately told Chen Lin: "Temporarily pick two sons from Cao's house and enter the palace. For the other houses, I'll talk about it later."

Zhao Run stared at Zhao Zhen dumbfounded, not understanding why Zhao Zhen turned back.

Chen Lin understands.

Zhao Zhen was afraid that Zhao Run would fail to bully others, but he would be bullied even worse.

People in the royal family have always been separated from others by one floor.

So it is difficult for members of the royal family to get along with others on an equal footing.

If the provinces send their children to study in the palace, they must choose the children of the right age.

To be precise, it is about the same age as Zhao Run.

Children of the same age as Zhao Run have some knowledge of monarchs and ministers, but not many.

Most of them don't care about the difference in status, and only distinguish the close relationship through the length of time and attitude to get along with each other.

There is no doubt that Kou Tianci has met the children for longer and more times than Zhao Run.

Kou Tianci and those children can get along as equals, but Zhao Run can't.

So Zhao Run wanted to take those people to bully Kou Tianci, and the final result was probably that those people combined with Kou Tianci to bully Zhao Run.

In Zhao Run's dazed expression, Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said, "Go find your mother and play..."

Zhao Run wanted to stay a little longer, but after seeing Zhao Zhen's face straightened up, he obediently left Shishitang.

Zhao Zhen stared at Zhao Run's leaving back, and said with a headache: "What kind of thing is this?"

Children have conflicts, and most of the time they stay at the level of children.

Unless something major happens, it won't involve adults.

So the problem that Zhao Run encountered was just an episode, and it didn't affect adults at all.

After Zhao Zhen played Zhao Run, he became busy with government affairs.

After Kou Ji returned to the mansion, he did not stay there long, so he went to the Privy Council and was busy with government affairs.

After the three of Lu Yijian left the palace, they plunged into the political affairs hall and never came out again.

Everyone is busy, so busy.

They are busy for the future of the Song Dynasty, and also for the war that is about to usher in the future.

I have been busy for more than a month.

Zhong Shiheng quietly returned to Bianjing with more than a hundred parts.

Zhong Shiheng wanted to return to Beijing quietly, but he didn't expect that he had just entered the boundary of Kaifeng Mansion.

He was stopped by a group of people.

After seeing the two people headed by Chong Shiheng, he jumped off his horse and ran up three steps in two steps.

Running to the front, Chong Shiheng knelt on one knee.

"Chen Chong Shiheng, see the official..."

Zhao Zhen stood there wearing plain clothes.

After Chong Shiheng fell to the ground on one knee, he lifted his shirt, stepped forward and raised his arms, "Four years of war, I have suffered you."

Zhong Shiheng shook his head solemnly, "It is the minister's responsibility to open up new territory for officials."

Zhao Zhen lifted up Chong Shiheng and sighed: "You helped me to lay down Dali. It can be said to have worked hard. When you left Beijing, I said that when your class teacher is still in the court, I will lead the Manchu civil and martial arts. , Personally went to meet outside the city of Bianjing.

When I learned that you were still in dynasty, I was ready to bring the Manchu civil and military to meet you.

Only when I was leaving the house, I was persuaded by my fourth brother.

The fourth brother said that you have been knighted first class, so you shouldn't be conspicuous anymore.

If I led the Manchu dynasty civil and military to greet you, you would definitely be on the cusp of the storm.

I thought about it, and felt that the fourth brother made sense, so I brought a few people, dressed in plain clothes, to come to welcome you.

I hope you don't blame me for this. "

Zhong Shiheng said with a grateful expression: "The official can meet him personally. It is already a great honor for the minister. It is too late for the minister to be grateful. How dare to complain."

Zhao Zhen nodded slightly without saying much.

Chong Shiheng bowed and saluted Kou Ji, Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, Zhang Zhibai and others standing behind Zhao Zhen.

Brought to Chong Shiheng after the ceremony.

Zhao Zhen said to Chong Shiheng: "Go, accompany me in a shared car. I have never been to Dali, I am afraid I will not be able to go to Dali in my life. You have been in Dali for four years, and you should know Dali very well.

Tell me a little bit about Dali. "

Zhong Shiheng was taken aback when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "How dare the minister..."

Before Chong Shiheng could finish speaking, Zhao Zhen grabbed Chong Shiheng’s hand, took him to the carriage, and said as he walked: "When I go out of the palace in plain clothes, I don’t need to stick to those rituals, you is also like this."

When the voice fell, Zhao Zhen had already pulled Zhong Shiheng into the carriage.

After Zhao Zhen and Chong Shiheng got on the carriage, Lu Yijian stared at the side Kou Ji with a smile but said, "What do you think about this?"

Kou Ji pierced his cuffs with both hands, and said faintly: "I dare not think about anything."

Lu Yijian stared, "You know what the old man is asking."

Kou Ji said indifferently: "Official courtesy and virtuous corporal, it is a good story. If Lu Gong is free, he can write it into an article. I will send someone to print it out and spread it all over the world."

Lu Yijian snorted at Kou Ji, got into the carriage, and stopped talking to Kou Ji.

Kou Ji naturally knew what Lu Yijian asked.

Before that, sharing a carriage with Zhao Zhen was the honor Kou Ji had.

Now, Chong Shiheng has also won the corresponding honor.

Lu Yijian wanted to ask if Kou Ji felt out of favor.

Kou Ji didn't bother to talk to Lu Yijian, so he gagped nonsense.

After Lu Yijian got into the carriage, Kou Ji asked Wang Zeng next to him, "Has Lu Yijian taken the wrong medicine recently?"

Wang Zeng glanced at Kou Ji and said indifferently: "You first arranged Bao Zheng to be the governor of Duanzhou, and then you arranged for Su Xun to be the magistrate of Xiangfu County. Two positions in a row were taken without any stumbling in the middle.

You are a military minister who seeks the position of civil servants, and he is more compliant than the head of civil servants, and he naturally sees you not pleasing to his eyes. "

Kou Ji was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Lü Yijian wants to help others find a job?"

Wang Zeng nodded, "Lv Yijian wants to help Lu Gong, the unicorner of the Lu family, seek a position in Taichang Temple, but he has repeatedly failed to write a letter."

Kou Ji laughed mockingly: "I recommend Bao Zheng and Su Xun because of a common heart, but for the country to recommend talents, and the officials will not hinder them. He recommends Lu Gong because of selfishness, and the officials naturally want Consider one or two."

Wang Zeng rolled his eyes, "He is a book in the same middle school, so he needs to end up personally to recommend his own people?"

Kou Ji was taken aback, and laughed in a low voice: "That only proves that the people he's looking for aren't enough."

Wang Zeng glared at Kou Ji, and was too lazy to discuss this issue with Kou Ji. For both of them, it was a matter of caution whether to recommend Bao Zheng or Lu Gongzhu.

Wang Zeng said to Kou Ji: "You come up to the old man's carriage, and the old man has important matters to discuss with you."

Kou Ji nodded and followed Wang Zeng into the carriage.

Get in the carriage.

Wang once asked: "The Xizhou Uighur's envoys have passed Shaanxi Prefecture and will arrive in Bianjing in two days. When they meet with officials, they will inevitably invite them and send troops to assist Xizhou Uighurs.

We have discussed this matter before.

Decided to send less than 10,000 soldiers and horses to help the Uighurs in Xizhou.

Once the Xizhou Uighur envoy asks for help, the official must inform the Xizhou Uighur envoy of the matter.

At the moment when soldiers and horses in my Da Song are changing their armaments, do you want to send that one to help the Uighurs in Xizhou? "

Kou Ji pondered: "Why the prince suddenly became concerned about this matter. Is it because someone wants to recommend it?"

Wang Zeng nodded and said, "But Liangcai wants to be elected."

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and said, "Good talent? The prince said, what a good talent."

Wang Zeng smiled and said, "Do you know Zhang Fangping this person?"

"Zhang Fangping?"

Kou Ji pondered.

Zhang Fangping can also be regarded as a person named in the annals of history, and indeed can be regarded as a good talent.

"I heard a little bit that I heard that he was born in a different class of Maocai, and now I know that Muzhou is a judge.

Wang Zeng laughed, "You really know this person."

Kou Ji smiled calmly: "I just heard a little..."

Wang Zeng nodded and said: "With your and my status, it is naturally difficult to see the good talents underneath. The old man also heard that Song Shou, the prefect of Yingtianfu, praised this person, so he got to know him.

Although this person is very quiet now, he has many unique opinions on the political affairs of the Song Dynasty and the foreign military affairs.

You sent someone to the Uighur in Xizhou this time, count him by the way, and see if he is really talented.

If he is really talented, the old man will lead him back one or two. "

Kou Ji hesitated for a moment and said frankly: "The soldiers and horses sent to Xizhou this time have to face the hundreds of thousands of troops from the Black Khan and the Liao Kingdom. It can be said to be a life of nine deaths.

Even if he is really talented and can stand your test, he may not be able to come back alive in the end. "

Wang Zeng frowned and said, "If he really died in the Xizhou Uighur, that would only prove his bad luck."

Kou Ji was a little surprised: "Duke, when did you learn how to kill people?"

Wang Zeng glared at Kou Ji, "What is Cao Jian's life? The old man is selecting talents for officials. The court employs people, naturally, they use the kind of people who have experienced the test of life and death.

Without going through the test of life and death, why do you stay in a high position

You Kou Ji came from a well-known family, and you will be better off when you go to an official position.

With your grandfather's backing, your future will be even brighter.

But even so, you have gone through life and death before you sit in your current position.

His Zhang Fangping came from a poor family, and he was more than a star and a half worse than you.

You can experience life and death, but he can't. Then why does he get the support of the old man, and why does he get promoted? "

Speaking of this, Wang Zeng snorted: "Just arrange it inside. If he doesn't want to die for the court, as long as the old man is in the court, he won't even want to be promoted."

Kou Ji couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this.

He also didn't know if Song Shou, the prefect of Yingtianfu, elected Zhang Fangping to Wang Zeng, whether it was a blessing or a curse for Zhang Fangping.

After thinking about it a bit, Kou Ji felt that it was a little more blessed.

Because of the historical records, Zhang Fangping can be considered a responsible person.

If Wang Zengzhen wants him to die for his country, he shouldn't hesitate.

However, this time to go to Xizhou to help the Uighurs, the risk is far beyond Wang Zeng's expectations.

Nine deaths may be a kind of extravagant hope.

As he spoke, he had entered Bianjing City and arrived at the gate of the imperial palace.

Zhao Zhen did not get out of the carriage, nor did he instruct other people to get off the carriage, but directly instructed the servant, opened the door of the palace, and led the carriage into the palace together.

Kin Shiheng returned triumphantly, and the courtesy should be the same.

To celebrate the triumph of Chong Shiheng, Zhao Zhen hosted a banquet in Yanfu Palace in honor of Chong Shiheng.

Three rounds of wine.

Zhao Zhen put down the wine glass and said to Chong Shiheng: "Chongqing, I have an important task to entrust to you."

Zhong Shiheng arched his hands and said, "I ask the officials to surrender their orders."

Zhao Zhen nodded and looked at Kou Ji.

Kou Ji slowly spoke, explaining the general situation of the four forces in the Song Dynasty, Hei Khan, Liao, and Qingtang.

After Zhong Shiheng heard this, his brows frowned. "I heard that the Liao State sent troops to help the Black Khan Dynasty attack the Xizhou Uighurs, and I felt that the situation was not good.

Unexpectedly, the situation would be so bad. "

Kou Ji said solemnly: "It stands to reason that you have just returned to the court and should rest for a few days. But time does not wait. The situation in the Western Regions changes day by day. Once the Black Khan Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom conquered the Xizhou Uighurs, the next step is I'm Da Song.

In the land of Hexi, where Li Gong and Du Yan are in charge, there should be no political problems.

But in terms of military affairs, there is only one general in the Zhenxi Army, which is a bit weak.

Therefore, I negotiated with the officials and decided to send you to sit in Hexi. "

Chong Shiheng thought for a while and said, "Give me seven days. I need to reunite with my family."

Kou Ji said without hesitation: "I'll give you half a month. After half a month, you must rush to Hexi."

Zhong Shiheng clasped his fists.

After the matter was agreed, everyone in Yanfu Palace did not discuss business matters.

Everyone enjoys singing and dancing while eating and drinking.

The scene didn't end until midnight.

After the end, everyone left the palace one after another.

After leaving the palace gate, each went back to each mansion.

Two days later, the envoy of the Uighurs from Xizhou arrived in Bianjing.

Kou Ji came forward and met with the people from Honghe Temple and received them.

When Zhao Zhen was in front of them, he really asked Song Chi to help the Uighurs in Xizhou.

Zhao Zhen told the Xizhou Uighur's envoy on the spot that Song Dynasty could not send heavy troops to help the Xizhou Uighurs for the time being, but he could send a 10,000 firearms army to Xizhou Uighurs to help them.

The Uighur envoy of Xizhou almost fainted from crying in the Suigong Hall, and was unable to ask for another soldier from Song Dynasty.

"This is the case for weak countries!"

Zhao Zhen said this afterwards, in front of the Manchu civil and military affairs.

The Manchu dynasty civilized and martial arts deeply regarded it.

Weak countries can only beg everywhere.

Only a powerful country can stand at the top of the world, give alms to the countries, and decide the life and death of the countries.

Zhong Shiheng stayed in Bianjing City for half a month, once again brought the upper part, and 10,000 firearms rushing to aid the Xizhou Huihu, embarked on the journey.

On the day he left, Kou Ji personally went to see him off, sending him out of the Kaifeng Mansion boundary all the way.

Looking at the back of Chong Shiheng rushing to Hexi resolutely, Kou Ji was filled with emotion.

He felt that all dynasties should be kind to warriors.

After they become famous, they may be more domineering and unreasonable.

But they are really working hard for the country.

Zhong Shiheng went to Hexi, and no matter how chaotic the situation in the Western Regions, Zhong Shiheng could also find ways to ensure that Hexi was worry-free.

No worries in Hexi.

Kou Ji can safely dismantle the Yongxing Army who has just returned to Xining Prefecture.

At the end of the year, preparations for the newly-built Forbidden Army based in Dali were completed and settled in Dali.

The fifty-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousandth

After the Japanese soldiers returned to Bianjing, they gradually entered the split.

Within half a year.

The forbidden army in various places of the Song Dynasty has been in frequent mobilization.

In the military camp outside the city of Bianjing, soldiers packed their bags and rushed to other places every day. Forbidden troops from other places entered it every day.

at the same time.

Fan Zhongyan and Pang Ji have gradually seen some results in implementing the government decree of the road reform government in Shaanxi Province.

Several millions of dollars were scattered, and some construction workshops were established in all the prefectures and counties of Shaanxi Prefecture.

Among them are brewers, wrought iron, textiles, and dried fruits.

After the workshops were established, they began to recruit workers in various parts of Shaanxi Province, only recruiting poor people who could not afford to eat.

The poor people in Shaanxi Province who could not afford to eat had previously settled part of them when the imperial court dispatched the fields they found out from the temples.

After Fan Zhongyan established major workshops, he solved a part of it.

After the Bianjingcheng textile workshop was completed in Shaanxi Province, a large part of it was solved.

There is still a small group of people who are only willing to farm and don't want to do anything except farming.

For these people, Fan Zhongyan and Pang Ji did not force them to work in major workshops.

It was reported to the court.

After discussing with Kou Ji, Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji decisively instructed Fan Zhongyan and Pang Ji to gather such people together and send them to Dali.

If you like farming, then go to Dali to farm.

The imperial court has enough land in Dali for them to plant.

Under this series of operations, the poor people in Shaanxi Province decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the end, only a small number of poor people in Shaanxi Prefecture who were unwilling to leave Shaanxi Prefecture remained poor.

The others have almost escaped from extreme poverty.

Although I can't talk about getting married, at least I won't starve to death because I can't eat.

Fan Zhongyan and Pang Ji can be said to have outstanding political achievements.

Zhao Zhen immediately sent people to report the situation in Shaanxi Prefecture to the world, and asked local officials to send officials to Shaanxi Prefecture to observe politics and see the benefits of the implementation of the government system.

In this way, local resistance to the road reform government system can be reduced.

Kaifeng Mansion was the first to send people to Shaanxi Mansion to observe politics.

It took less than half a month from Kaifeng Prefecture to send people to Shaanxi Prefecture to implement the new government system within Kaifeng Prefecture.

Compared with Shaanxi government's reform of government system.

It is much easier for Kaifeng Prefecture to change the government system.

Officials in the Kaifeng government know that the reform of the road to the government system is the consensus of the leaders in power in the DPRK and China.

The road reform to the government system not only will not reduce their status and rights, but will greatly increase their rights.

Therefore, Kaifeng Prefecture implemented the government system very fast.

It only took half a month to complete the new government system.

Subsequently, various places began to implement the road reform government system.

Because the road reform to the government system did not mobilize the interests of officials, nor did it mobilize the interests of local powers, and the effect of the government road reform in Shaanxi was placed there, the resistance to the implementation of the road reform government system in various places was very small .

When the road reform government system was gradually implemented, the numbers of poor people everywhere were gradually passed to the inner court.

Inside Shishi Hall.

Zhao Zhen held a thick book in his hand and sighed: "I originally thought that under my governance, even if the people everywhere are poor, it is impossible to afford to eat.

But today, the number of poor people who have been cleaned up by the road reform government system has reached a million.

The number of people without land has reached tens of millions. "

Zhao Zhen threw the pamphlet on the table and asked in a heavy voice: "Nearly a million people have eaten their meals but haven't stopped. Nearly tens of millions of people have no land. No wonder there are frequent rebellions among the people, no wonder there are frequent people fleeing from the people. Falling grass in the mountains is a bandit.

They can’t eat enough, they don’t rebel, who rebels

If I can't eat enough, I will rebel. "

Lu Yijian and the others looked at each other and lowered their heads together.

Zhao Zhen continued: "I remember when the great father founded the country, but tried every means to distribute the land to the people. Now, tell me, where is the people's land

The Ministry of Households audits every year, and the newly-added fields of our Dasong have increased exponentially.

It can be seen that my property in the Song Dynasty is much more than when Taizu was in power.

But now the land in the hands of the people has not increased, on the contrary, it has become nothing.

The Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials, during the annual audit, report to me how beautiful and beautiful things are.

Now it seems that it is just a mere manifestation. "

"Lu Yijian?"

"The minister is here!"

"You can tell the officials of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Civil Affairs to ask them to take the beautiful things mentioned in their memorials in recent years and give me a place to check them.

Check it out, it's true, and come back again.

Check it out, it's not true, demote.

If it is not clear, let them explain to the people themselves. "

Zhao Zhen said this.

Lu Yijian said with an ugly face: "After the officials, the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials are dispatched, who will deal with the affairs of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials?"

Zhao Zhen sneered and said: "If I don't send them out and leave them at the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials, will they be able to tell me about the affairs of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials?"
