Zhao Pu recommended Wang Huaji, and Zhao Kuangyi had a little impression of Wang Huaji, but the Censor General was not easy to be the chief censor. He was the leader of the censor, so he summoned Wang Huaji and asked about border affairs. Wang Huaji said: "Governing the world is like planting trees. If the problem is not solid at all, the branches will not be worrying. If the court is in great condition, what is the problem with border contempt?"

Zhao Kuangyi agreed.

In fact, Song Jiu and Zhao Pu have similar opinions on this point. They must focus on internal treatment and fundamentalism. But the difference is that Song Jiu is fundamental, so they must allocate some force to solve the border problems. Zhao Pu is fundamental. As for border problems, if you can be a turtle, just be a turtle.

If Song Jiu had not appeared, Zhao Pu did an important thing this year, which was to release Li Jipeng back to Xiazhou. As a result, Li Jiqian sent envoys to surrender and the ministers praised him. Then, the two colluded in the northwest, and Li Jixing got a lot of breathing and development. A few years later, Li Jiqian was really at a loss.

Then the Song Dynasty became miserable.

This is Zhao Kuangyi's review of Wang Huaji.

Don’t think that the Chief Censor can squirt with his mouth wide. The more he speaks, the more he should pay attention to his words.

Some people would speculate about the relationship between Wang Huaji and Song Jiu, but those who actually know the truth did not talk about it. Since Song Jiu entered the Secretariat, he has deliberately downplayed his connection with the academy. Wang Huaji is a mature man and is fair in his work, and will not deliberately curry favor with Song Jiu.

However, it will definitely be of some help to Song Jiu.

This is the kindness Zhao Pu released.

In fact, by this time, more people understood that Zhao Pu would be out of the way. After he went down, Song Jiu would be at its peak and not stop. Aren’t you afraid that Song Jiu would take revenge on his descendants?

Many people outside are talking about this.

The first time the Staff Department started construction.

There are not many people now, including Cao Bin, Mi Xin, Tian Chongjin, and Liu Yanhan.

The one we discussed was the Hebei Hedong border defense. The focus was still on Hebei, especially Mitian and Liu. They have been in Hebei for a long time and are familiar with the Hebei terrain.

Construction has been gradually started this year, namely digging ponds, as for planting thorns, irrigation and reeds. It will be the next year that Song Jiu said that some solid forts and forts on the border will not work this year. Then the national fiscal situation must be slowed down after the disaster before construction can start.

How to dig this Great Wall of Water? How to build this green Great Wall? Where to choose where to build a big fort, we also need to consider: First, the experience and wisdom of these veterans, and second, the feedback from the soldiers on the front line. The two were combined and finally decided in Xifu. He handed it over to Zhao Kuangyi for a patrol, and then issued an edict to go to the front line to execute.

But Song Jiu also underestimated the future disaster...

The long-tail comet has gone, while the drought continues.

Such a long and great drought is extremely rare in the history of the founding of the Song Dynasty for nearly 30 years.

Some people even thought that if the country had not prepared a large amount of grain storage in the past few years, Song Jiu was not interested in scattering the grain storage and summer tax grain to the prefectures in advance in order to increase the grain prices... Everyone could not help but shudder.

Zhao Kuangyi reduced food by drought every year, and then prayed to God Haotian, or worshiped the Three Pure Ones, or worshiped the Tathagata Guanyin. Anyway, I thought about the Dharma all over the world, and the sun was bright and moving, and no tears fell.

He had no choice but to summon the ministers, first looked at Song Jiu, and said thankfully: "Song Qing, long time."

The food in the past was still the food.

However, one is in spring and the other is in this time, it is completely different.

At that time, food was not valuable, and it would be meaningless to be greedy or not. At this time, it would be good to be able to get half of the fortunes in the prefectures of various states.

In fact, if there was no Song Jiu's military farming system, there was another incident in history. The state's tax grain was desperately transported to the capital. However, the military rations on the front line were very lacking. One way was to transfer tax grains on the front line from the imperial court, but unlike transferring to the capital, it was transported by ships from various canals and rivers. Even the people were corvee laborers, and the ships were probably official ships, so the cost on the books was relatively low.

But it was different when transported to the front line. Gradually, the river channel became narrower and the boats and cars had to be replaced. Even if it was corvee service, these soldiers and civilians had to eat on the road and drink on the run. So the consumption was very terrible. What was terrible was not consumption, because this consumption was not very good and easy to count, which gave officials the opportunity. They were seriously greedy and could not be checked.

Or there is another thing. After the rise of Western Xia, the horses of the Song Dynasty were pitiful and had to buy horses in large quantities. However, because the officials were careless, many horses died before they were transported to various herds and prisons. The cost of a horse from the time of buying to the time of transporting back was very high, and sometimes it could even be close to one hundred cents of coins.

Faced with this situation, the Song Dynasty was in a difficult situation and had to contract it to the merchants.

It can be seen now that the court used the resources of the government to build many Fangchanghedu. Unless it was like a "joint venture" like Hezhou, the profits would be good at the beginning, but it would gradually fail. In history, there was no choice but to wait for Wang Anshi to come out to solve the problem. However, Song Jiu has gradually contracted these Fangchanghedu. However, when it came to his private hands, it immediately revitalized.

After Song Jiu was in charge of the Three Departments two years ago, he once again auctioned. Some Fangchang Hedu simply turned into real auctions, not contracting or selling them to private individuals, and the court no longer intervened. After Song Jiu's actions, nearly half of the Fangchang Hedu in the court became a private operation.

Faced with this result, people can't help but feel speechless.

Even Zhao Kuangyi roared like thunder once, would I treat you with thunder?

However, when Song Jiu pulled him and persuaded him, the problem was not only that officials were greedy for ink, but the actual greedy for ink was also the minor officials in various fields. The unclean literati and minor officials would collude with them, and the greedy literati were even more greedy. The honest literati used money as a cunt and did not want to touch them, so they also gave minor officials a chance.

Secondly, some scholars and officials do not care about their management, or do not know how to operate.

It is not entirely because of the greed of scholars and officials that the returns of various businesses are getting lower and lower.

In fact, these principles are basically the same.

Therefore, in history, due to the difficulty of transporting grain on the front line, merchants were asked to transport grain on the frontier, and then according to the distance and difficulty of transporting grain, they gave their value, and then handed the coupon to the capital, then compensated the money, or transferred documents to the Jianghuai River and gave tea and salt bills, which was called a compromise. This led to the rapid collapse of the tea and salt administration. Not only that, some unscrupulous merchants colluded with officials and began to mix sand and moldy grains into it. The treatment was bad. If they ate this grain, how could the frontier soldiers have the confidence to fight the enemy? So later, a saying came from the Song Dynasty that good iron would not be nailed, and heroes would not be in the army.

However, because of Song Jiu's military farming system, there are a large number of military farms in the capital and border areas. If the drought is not severe this year, the military rations on the border could barely remain the same, and even this year, the food gap is not large. Therefore, this compromise is meaningless.

Zhao Kuangyi said that Song Jiu and the Song Dynasty had been around for a long time, which was not considered a false pretentious thing.

Song Jiu bowed slightly and said, "Who dares me?"

But he also called luck in his heart. Fortunately, he was not greedy for power and entered the Secretariat. Otherwise, how would he deal with this situation?

He called luck in his heart. The Secretariat was suffering, but fortunately Zhao Kuangyi understood and said, "There are all kinds of sins, and the crime lies in my own hands. Since the transformation of Xingwen, I have been short of rain and snow for a long time. I have been a parent of others. I am not at ease, and I just sacrificed myself and burned by the fire. It is enough to thank God for the punishment."

Several big men in the East Mansion were afraid.

Zhao Kuangyi actually wanted to jump for the fire. He was the prime minister of the East Prefecture, so where would he jump?

The winter months are not yet rainy or snowy, and the twelfth month is not yet snowy or rainy. Tian Xi finally couldn't help it and said directly that this is actually a dissonance of yin and yang. The coordination and radiance are inverted, and the upper invades the lower position has not been completed, and the lower knows the upper’s mistakes and fails to rule.

Don’t look for the reason, it’s Zhao Pu’s fault!

The effect of Zhao Pubu's game came out. Zhang Qixian, Lu Mengzheng and others were somewhat grateful to Zhao Pu. Seeing the memorial, they thought to themselves that no matter what, Zhao Pu is already an old man in his twilight years. The country is troublesome, tired and fearful, which leads to serious illness. Although you are a big mouth, you know the importance of speaking. Therefore, you are the magistrate of Chenzhou and let you reflect on the local area.

However, there were not too many big mouths in the court. Although Zhao Pubu made some tricks, there were too many people who had cheated him in his life.

After the Spring Festival, Zhao Pu's health was a little better and repeatedly proposed to withdraw from the phase.

This time he was really scared.

Unlike last time, Zhao Kuangyi beat him up in order to get him out of the court for many times last time, but Zhao Pu kept pretending to be deaf and dumb. However, this time, Zhao Kuangyi repeatedly tried to keep him, but Zhao Pu refused to obey.

Not only did he refuse to follow, he also took the initiative to ask to go to Luoyang.

The main reason is that I can’t stand it at night. I dreamed that Zhao Tingmei came to arrest her soul every night. Can I still stay in the capital?

Zhao Kuangyi had no choice but to agree and asked: "Who can the state affairs be entrusted to?"

"Song Jiu, Lu Duan, Lu Mengzheng, Zhang Qixian, Kou Zhun and others are all pillars of the country in the future. But Kou Zhun is young and needs to be tempered for several years before he can be reused. As for the other people, Your Majesty can entrust the important matters of the two governments."

"Your and Song Qing's heroes have similar views."

"He is optimistic about these people, too?"

Zhao Kuangyi nodded.

Zhao Pu felt a little distressed, and after a long time, he said, "The old minister can leave the capital with confidence. With these few things, the country will inevitably prosper."

Zhao Kuangyi issued an edict, delegating Zhao Pu as the Secretary of the Central Committee to stay in Henan in Xijing and ask him to go to Luoyang.

Zhao Pu left, and Zhao Kuangyi found Song Jiu again. The country suffered this great disaster and had to be able to take over the affairs of the East Palace and wanted Song Jiu to take over. Song Jiu really refused: "Your Majesty, it's enough for Lu Mengzheng to be there in the East Palace."

"I am worried that Lu Mengzheng has little experience and cannot bear this important task."

"Your Majesty, Zhuge Liang is a famous prime minister for all ages, but he also has many mistakes. The biggest mistake is that he works hard by himself, which leads to the fact that the Shu people are not tempered. Once he dies, the country is full of chaos and will soon be destroyed by Wei. Since Your Majesty dares to transfer several people into the two palaces with one hand, why dare not use it? Besides, there are no fixed disasters. There will be a good year for disasters, and there will be a good year for disasters. However, the Liao gangs threaten border security at all times, and the position of the Western Palace cannot be ignored."

Zhao Kuangyi had no choice, and the plan that made him moved has not been launched.

So the candidates of the two governments did not change any further.

Song Jiu secretly celebrating with Pan Lian'er at home.

This time, Zhao Pu went down was different from the last time. Maybe that day, under the torture of Zhao Tingmei's ghost, he would see King Yama to distinguish right from wrong, so that no minister in the court could threaten Song Jiu.

It's not bad to think about it this way. First of all, the Western Prefecture, Wang Xian, Zhang Qixian, Zhang Hong, and Zhang Xun, who was envoy of the Northern Court of Xuanhui and also signed with the Privy Council. The Eastern Prefecture is still Lu Mengzheng, Wang Mian and Xin Zhongfu. Wang Xian and Zhang Xun were related to Zhao Kuangyi's relationship and gained power, and their talents were not outstanding. Although Xin Zhongfu made great achievements in the local area, he did not come to the capital for a long time. As for Lu Mengzheng, Zhang Qixian, Zhang Hong, and Wang Mian, they were all new Jinshis in the Zhao Kuangyi Dynasty, and Song Jiu left them 18,000 miles in terms of qualifications. Moreover, most of these people had no bad relationship with Song Jiu. In addition, Wang Huaji, the Censor General who supervised the ministers.

Who will threaten Song Jiu?

In this case, Song Jiu attended the court meeting.

He and Lu Mengzhengyi were in the East and West Station, but the ones on the East are definitely a little more expensive.

They stood in the first place, but Lu Mengzheng looked at Song Jiu and felt a little uncomfortable all over.

Strictly speaking, Song Jiu station team is second, even though he is the first among the officials in the west.

Song Jiu didn't notice at first, and when he saw Lu Mengzheng's expression, he couldn't help but glance behind him. He suddenly had an illusion, and he was afraid that the jade hall of Qiong Building would be cold at high places. Even if he was only the first in the west, the feeling now was that the heights would be cold at high places!

Before Zhao Kuangyi came out, Song Jiu whispered to Wang Xian: "Prince, have I been in the Western Palace for too long?"
Chapter completed!
