In the Hall of Zifu, Zhao Kuangyi sternly said: "Song Jiu, isn't I treat you more poorly than the previous lord treating Zhuge Liang!"

Chai Yuxi heard one idea, but Zhao Kuangyi heard another idea, thinking that Song Jiu wanted to retreat bravely, which was not a good thing, and meant that Song Jiu thought he could not treat his meritorious officials well.

Song Jiu did not know how to learn from the little bandits, and forced Zhao Kuangyi to rob the dragon robe, but laughed and said happily: "Your Majesty, you really compare me with Zhuge Wuhou? Your Majesty has this heart, and I don't have the courage. I asked to go to the Western Palace, but the Eastern Palace is indeed full of talents. Besides, Lu Mengzheng was once again prime minister, working diligently and circulated among the people. Now he lives innocently behind me, wouldn't it make Lu Mengzheng feel disheartened? Looking at the Western Palace again, Chai Yuxi and Zhao Rong passed through the army, it was fine. Xiang Minzhongchen heard that he was wise and knowledgeable about civil affairs, and served as the governor of Guangzhou, and served in Jingnan. He could have experienced half of the border brigade. But what about Zhang Changyan?"

"The country is not a lack of talents. In such a large country, with more than 5 million households and tens of millions of people, how can it be lack of talents? It is not a lack of talents. First, talents lack tempering and reuse, and second, talents are useless. Liu Changyan heard that they are capable ministers, Zhao Pu, Qian Chu and Chen Hongjin both highly praised them, but they are still OK in the East Prefecture. He is used in the West Prefecture. He knows civil affairs, but does he know about military affairs?"

"I am also planning to meet Your Majesty when I come back and say two things. The first thing is the three major border talents. Li Jilong is responsible for defending Hebei. He has already proved that he is the national uncle. Your Majesty is very trustworthy. Although Zhang Qixian knows military affairs and has the merit of fighting for the village, it is a small-scale battle and cannot be called a large-scale battle. Therefore, I recommend a general to cooperate with Zhang Qixian to Your Majesty."

"Who?" Zhao Kuangyi asked with concern.

Song Jiu's L-shaped defensive front posed a threat to the mountain behind the Liao Kingdom, but Shenwu City and Panguan were in front of him, and they would be attacked by the Liao Kingdom at any time.

"Shipu."

"This person can be reused..." Zhao Kuangyi pondered.

Shi Pu and Yelu Xiuge had a battle, which also proved his military talent.

He had been in the Jurchens for a long time and had fierce battles with the Liao Kingdom many times, which was more difficult than the generals of the Song Dynasty. At least the whole country supported him, but Shi Pu was dragged down by Wu Xuanming.

Moreover, Shi Pu was his old minister in the royal palace, and Zhao Kuangyi also believed it.

Zhang Qixian and Shi Pu are both literary and martial, and Yang Si, Yin Jilun, Gao Qiong and others are in Hedong, and Hedong can be foolproof.

Song Jiu said again: "I am in the Western Prefecture and are familiar with Wang Xian. Wang Xian is short of government affairs, but he is very proficient in military affairs. Including this careful planning, Wang Xian made great contributions. The people of the northwest are always important and now they are officially bounded with the Liao Kingdom. Although Yin Xian, Yang Qiong, Zhang Ning and others are good, it would be even better if they were asked to go to the northwest."

Su Chongzong is to attach importance to his background and identity, not only in the northwest and Lingnan, but also in this situation. For example, Ding Wei went to Lingnan later because he was once the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, and the barbarians rushed to make friends with him.

Wang Xian is not weak in his identity. After all, he has been in charge of the Prime Minister of the Western Prefecture for ten years. After he went to the northwest, the northwest foreign countries will definitely like it. At least it means that the court attaches importance to them.

"Where is Wang Xian..." Zhao Kuangyi pondered again.

"Your Majesty. If Wang Xian thinks it is wronged, then how can he be more useful?"

A trace of warmth finally passed in Zhao Kuangyi's eyes, and he patted Song Jiu on the shoulder and said, "It's not that everyone is like you, so I will be worried."

"Your Majesty treats me like a national scholar. How dare I not accept it and follow Your Majesty? But I insist on going to the Western Prefecture, and I still have an idea."

"what?"

"Your Majesty loves the people, but your Majesty asks himself, the court is too weak to treat the millions of poor people in Bashu."

"It's not easy to govern a big country like cooking small fresh food. When I lived in Kaifeng Prefecture, I attached great importance to the suffering of the people. Therefore, after ascending the throne, I often lenient taxes for poor people. However, Zhang Guan wrote a letter saying that although the court exempted poor households from taxes, it was taken advantage of by the people because of the poor execution. What was exempted was not taxes for poor people, but taxes for gentry. Local officials continued to impose taxes on taxes. Therefore, the rich became richer and the poor became poorer. After hearing this, I kept silent. How to rule the law? Do you learn from those two thieves to kill all the gentry in the world and share the land equally?"

"Yes." Song Jiu sighed.

Later, many strange ideologies and systems emerged.

It doesn't have to be so complicated. In fact, it is centralization and decentralization. The centralization may not be all centralized. China's long kingly era, from the ancient slave society to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Han Guangwu changed again, the Tang Dynasty changed again, the Song Dynasty changed even more, and some later generations attacked the Song and Ming dynasties and were more centralized, which was wrong.

The Emperor of Song and Ming dynasties was sometimes really sad.

It is not about centralized weight, but about dividing the power of the general, giving poor people a chance and some morality step by step.

Those who decentralize power may not be allocated to the people, and there are some disadvantages of being slow to do things. If they fail to deal with this land that has produced countless ambitious people, the country will be divided and war will be rampant in an instant.

However, centralization in the era of imperial power is itself the biggest drawback.

"Your Majesty, so Zhao Pu talks about the people of Qi."

Zhao Kuangyi remained silent.

Are you a real person?

That is just a slogan to alleviate conflicts between the country. If a person of Qi is truly a person, what should he do as an emperor? If the person of Qi is not serious, the Confucianism's honor and relatives are true. To govern the country, scholars and officials and powerful people need to lead the emperor and govern the country.

So later, the reform of Emperor Shenzong of Song and Wang Anshi failed, but they didn't understand this link.

Reform is good, but it is not enough to remain unchanged, but some are too rude. And as Zhang Guan said, the top is good, but the bottom is not implemented, or the execution is distorted, resulting in more and more opponents, and then the party struggle begins, and the whole country will continue to cheat together...

If it remains unchanged, China will remain the same in the future. This is the most terrifying truth!

Song Jiu didn't think that far.

I figured it out, but I really can't think about it.

Because in his memory, although there are all kinds of strange systems, there is no system that is truly suitable for this ancient land.

In Western countries, there are also many disadvantages in those systems, and they are even less suitable for this land.

He is not a thinker, so he can't think about it.

And now that the family is reunited and the children are growing up, they are rich and noble, and Song Jiu is even more satisfied than Lu Duan.

Not to mention the Western Prefecture, even when he reaches the Sansi, he will not complain.

But this is exactly what Zhao Kuangyi was upset.

If you have the ability, why don’t you serve me? If I had known this, I might as well not exchange your concubine for me.

Song Jiu also said: "Give the poor people more vitality, and the people will not be rioted if they have food and clothing. This is the strategy for the country to be safe for a long time. However, Bashu and Kuixia failed to enjoy the country's Qi people's strategy. Governing a big country is like cooking small fresh food. When the rebellion was suppressed, those gentry had worked hard and the country was not easy to deal with. So the good officials went down and carefully governed it, and the people decided to make it. However, there were many good officials and talented good officials, such as Lu Yuqing and Xin Zhongfu. Once the officials were not doing well, these contradictions would intensify, and rebellion would arise. Therefore, I think that everything has advantages and disadvantages, and the rebellion of the two thieves of Wang and Li may not be a bad thing. The court borrowed their hands to divide the farmland equally, kill the greedy tyrants, and defeated them and established them greatly. These contradictions would not exist in the future. However, I have a bolder idea. What if they were to drive them to Kuixia?"

"Driving towards Kui Gorge?" Zhao Kuangyi asked in surprise.

Song Jiu's words must not be made public.

But it hit Zhao Kuangyi's heart.

These powerful men are too overdoing and have exceeded the bottom line of his tolerance.

Just kill, kill. Kill it is to eradicate the harm for the country.

However, Zhao Kuangyi had never thought about it.

Suddenly Zhao Kuangyi laughed and said, "Do you agree with the equal wealth of wealth?"

"Impossible, ten fingers are long and short, more capable people get, and more diligent people get. If the rich and poor are really equal, will the country still have motivation? Anyway, if you don't do things, you will share the same food and wealth, why do you need to do things?"

"I am the one who is in the world, and I find it funny when I first heard about it. If that happens, within two years, no one in the world will be willing to work hard, and the country will be destroyed."

Song Jiu sighed again in his heart.

"Your Majesty. Therefore, Confucianism says that the mean is not to make people mediocre, so as not to make the trees rise in the forest, and the wind will urge them, but to make people keep their moral integrity and do things in moderation. The serious unevenness of the rich and the poor will inevitably lead to Huang Chao and Xiaobo. If the rich and the poor are really equal, the things that may happen will be even greater. The old friends must be centrally arranged, but many things cannot be done just by wanting to do, such as in the past Bashu or the current Kuixia."

This makes sense.

Zhao Kuangyi paced around and finally said, "It's a bit difficult to deal with."

Some barbarian leaders in Kuixia plundered and sold Han people, and then drove the people to eat their hearts and livers, or wanted the first night power. Zhao Kuangyi could no longer bear this.

However, due to the national situation, you have to endure it even if you can’t.

Just like Hou Renbao was killed by Jiaozhi, Zhao Pu could only ask relevant officials to vent his anger, but could he send troops to Jiaozhi?

If Li Shun could take these rioters to Kuixia Road, there would be someone who killed the local tyrants and divided the land, Zhao Kuangyi would be eager to do so.

But it's not that easy.

It is not difficult to suppress Li Shun. It is not the time when the country is in decline. There is no corruption in the public affairs of all parts of the country. The chaos is just in Bashu. At that time, many Shu troops rebelled and eventually suppressed them, and it was a group of peasant uprising.

However, as Song Jiu said, it would be very difficult.

It is easy to suppress, but God knows where the main battlefield is in the end?

They are humans, not livestock, how can they be expelled by the court?

Even if it succeeds, will it be like Li Jiqian, who will use the mountains and hills of Kuixia Road to hide and seek with the officials and soldiers of the court? In the end, will the court send more than 100,000 officers and soldiers to wipe out?

"Therefore, I want to go to the Western Prefecture."

"Let me think about it."

...

"Dad, you really haven't become the prime minister?" Xiaoyu asked dissatisfied.

"You don't understand."

"Yu Niang, stop making trouble. At the beginning, your father's dream was just to be a county magistrate or a prefecture. It was not a good thing to be greedy for the sake of the country."

"Only Emperor Guangwu can achieve great achievements after he gained a high reputation."

"Nonsense, your dad dares to compare with him?"

"This is called being unintentional. Empress, are you really convinced?"

Yuping was speechless.

She also can't understand.

Pan Lian'er said: "Your father did the right thing."

Maybe Zhao Kuangyi would be angry, but he had to know it himself, so don’t take it seriously.

Was Lu Duoxun bad for Zhao Kuangyi? As for Lu Duoxun’s rebellion, we should not take it seriously. Besides, Zhao Pu, although Song Jiu did a good job, was Zhao Pu ruthless? He was carrying the eternal infamy and was doing things for Zhao Kuangyi. When his son made trouble, he continued with a little disaster. He still forced him to continue.

In the defeat of Qigou Pass, the country needs a capable minister to take charge of affairs and use it again. That is what Zhao Pu wants to be crazy about being on the throne. A power mystery, if you change yourself, even if your husband can put down his posture, he will also persuade him.

Just like my father, who has never been prime minister all his life, now he has retired and often wanders around the capital. Wouldn't that be great? Who dares to disrespect?

This is the essence of the emperor.

If a real husband becomes the prime minister, maybe in less than two years, the emperor will dislike him. If it comes to this point, he will be disgraceful if he is not like this now. Maybe the higher the credit, the heavier the decline, and the darker the penis will be. Why bother?

But there is no need to explain this to the children.

After a private conversation at Zifu Palace finally made Zhao Kuangyi agree to Song Jiu's request. Liu Changyan was transferred to the East Prefecture, and Song Jiu became the Prime Minister of the West Prefecture for three times.

However, many people feel uncomfortable.

Before Song Jiu settled down, Lu Mengzheng felt a little disappointed. But after settled down, he was only the chief of the Western Prefecture. Lu Mengzheng was like a thorn on his back. With such great contributions, he had not become the prime minister. How could he be the prime minister?

As for Chai Yuxi, he wanted to cry without tears.

He didn't ask the Prime Minister of the East Mansion, and he was satisfied to stay in the West Mansion as the Prime Minister. But before his butt was still hot, he moved his seat.

The worst thing is that he used to curry favor with Zhao Pu and was somewhat suspicious of betraying Song Jiu.

Listening to Zhao Kuangyi's edict, Chai Yuxi was thinking to himself, is this what Buddhism says, not that it is not that the time has not come, and it is time to repay oneself?

In fact, Song Jiu couldn't care about his little thoughts.
