Chapter four hundred and ninety-eight of the power of dispersing wealth

So Zhao Heng did not think of Kou Zhun, but Lu Mengzheng.

Song Jiu said a very savorous sentence: "As a monarch, you must have a mind that covers the world in order to cure the world."

In the past, Lu Mengzheng first got together with Zhao Yuanxi, and then said good things for Wang Ji'en, which made Zhao Heng suspicious.

Because of Song Jiu's words, Lu Mengzheng was used.

Song Jiu also recommended Xiang Minzhong to go to Xifu, and was both Privy Councilors with Wang Xian. In fact, neither Wang Xian nor Cao Bin had the ability to serve as Privy Councilors. Although they were military generals, even in their hands, the various military reforms that Song Jiu had finally established in the past were destroyed to varying degrees.

The most serious thing is the General Staff Office. Now there is almost an empty shell left, so the joke of Fu Qian as the chief general appears.

Wang Dan was transferred from the Western Prefecture to the Eastern Prefecture.

The East Prefecture is still full of talents. Whether it is Li Wen, Lu Mengzheng, or Wang Dan and Wang Huaji, they are all first-class talented ministers, and Decao has nothing to say. But the West Prefecture, Wang Xian, Qian Ruoshui, Zhou Ying, and Wang Jiying, no matter what Decao is, why should these people serve as the prime ministers of the West Prefecture? Especially that Zhou Ying.

Xiang Minzhong entered Xifu, which made up for the lack of ability of Xifu priests.

The second is river management.

Although Song Jiu participated in the military, it was mainly the scope of responsibility of the Xifu, and governing the river was the main business of the East Mansion.

There was a good minister Wang Ming, who was in charge of the river. Now there is another person in the court, Wang Qinruo. However, because the historical books evaluated him too badly, Song Jiu did not dare to recommend it, so he simply asked Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng asked: "How about Bi Shi'an?"

After Zhao Heng came to power, he appointed several of his teachers and entered the two palaces respectively.

Although these teachers may be elders, they are not competent without any investigation. Fortunately, Zhao Heng saw it clearly, so he was dismissed as his official.

Song Jiu recalled that he seemed to only remember that Bi Shi'an had served as the censor of the surveillance censor. Therefore, he had some doubts in his heart.

However, Zhao Heng was very dedicated to his teacher, but Song Jiu could not refuse. Fortunately, when Wang Mingzhihe was there, he left a lot of information for reference.

Therefore, Bi Shi'an was asked to take these information to further investigate.

When winter is free, the three departments allocated more than 10 million yuan to manage the river.

The next year, several million were allocated to plant trees.

I don’t know if I can think of the effect, but Nanhetao has the innate conditions for planting trees, that is, with the Song army’s establishment of garrisons and grazing over the years, countless water diversion canals have been built. Once the trees form a forest, it will also help the local people to further settle their pastures and settle down. Only by setting them down can they be effectively managed.

There is also Hebei, which also starts to plant many saplings from Xiongzhou.

It is conceivable that once seven or eight years later, these saplings will grow into the strongest city wall.

In fact, there is great intention in this. First, it creates a cowardly and false image for the Liao Dynasty that the Song Dynasty was not enterprising. Second, it tells Xiao Yanyan that if you want to attack the Song Dynasty, take advantage of the situation...

In fact, it comes down to it. It is six words: governing the river, benefiting the people and strengthening the army.

However, from beginning to end, Song Jiu did not ask about Bashu's suppression of rebellion.

Wang Jun's happy meeting made the Song Dynasty officers and soldiers disgusted. However, there was a very interesting person in the army. Qin Han. After thinking hard, he finally let the craftsmen invent a thing, a shooting tube. The principle is somewhat similar to the water guns that children played with later. However, the sealing is higher, larger and more complex, and oil is injected into it. However, it is called fierce turbulent oil. It is asphalt-like oil sprayed from some high-quality oil fields. After simple refining products, as for drilling, it is too far away.

Then the soldiers stood on the "Yanqiwei's enemy's shed-covered chariot", launched at the "Xi Xiangfeng", and then shot with rockets, and Wang Jun's Xi Xiangfeng burned.

Without the happy meeting, Wang Jun began to take his anger.

The Song army launched an attack from the three high and low groups, digging tunnels under the ground. It was impossible for all the rebels in the trenches in the city to listen to the movements on the surface. Moreover, most of them were soldiers who forced to recruit by Wang Jun. Some arranged gunpowder under the tunnel to blow up the city walls, while others used as dead soldiers to sneak into the city and burn the rebels' equipment to defend the city. On the ground, the "Yan-winged enemy sheds and the "hole house" approached the city walls at the same time. Wang Jun could not have dug collapsed tunnels outside all the city walls in Yizhou. Besides, they were digging, and the Song army was also digging.

Dozens of hot air balloons rose in the air and shot archers from a high place.

This is why he made a huge sacrifice and attacked Yizhou City.

But Wang Jun still retreated into Tianchangguan, and set up a tight line of defense in front of Wenwengfang. Gao Jixun took the initiative to ask the transferee Ma Liang to come to the transferor Ma Liang, and took his subordinates to attack Wenwengfang with a torch, and burned all Wenwengfang. Yang Huaizhong took the opportunity to advance to the front village of Tianchangguan, and then burned all the front village with fire. Wang Jun saw that the defeat was settled, so he broke through the night.

It was all delayed until September.

However, Lei Youzhong did something that was angry and resentful.

He sent Yang Huaizhong and Shi Pu to chase Wang Jun with the imperial cavalry and the Sichuan cavalry. He himself arrested the people who were under Wang Jun's pseudo-official position in the city. Regardless of whether they were forced to take office, hundreds of people were placed alive on the pile of firewood to death.

Fortunately, Li Jichang ordered his subordinates not to worry about the people, so he placed the women and children in the city in an empty temple and sent troops to guard them. After the matter was settled, he sent them home.

Otherwise, under the leadership of Lei Youzhong, another unjust and cruel tragedy occurred.

Wang Jun continued to go crazy while running.

It is understandable to blackmail the military and civilians to block the bridges in order to escape. However, the hysteria of this person is explained. While running, he burned all the warehouses regardless of the lives of the people. However, he fled to Fushunjian and was caught by Shi Yang and the others. Wang Jun set a fire again, then fled to Yang Family City, preparing to cross the river to escape to Ronglu and Barbarian territory. Yang Huaizhong and Shi Pu arrived in time, captured Wang Jun, and killed him on the spot.

It took ten months before the rebellion was put to rest.

Moreover, Lei You Zheng Zheng was incompetent, which caused trauma to the people of Sichuan. You should know that this rebellion had no relationship with the people of Sichuan, and it was all because of problems in the Song Dynasty army.

This forced Song Jiu to propose that the taxes of more than a dozen prefectures and counties will be reduced in the next year. This is fine. The once wealthy Yizhou City was almost burned out.

Therefore, Zhao Heng said: "Lei Youzhong was in the Three Divisions and said he was honest and honest. Yesterday, the two rivers were robbed and their lives were cut off. He heard that he would eventually take advantage of his troubles and be greedy for money and goods. If this is the case, how could Wang Ze be vulgar? How could he change his distant customs? How could he change his words and deeds? How could he be so evil?"

In fact, in order to motivate the soldiers, Lei Youzhong sold his property and used it as a reward.

But what to do?

Should all the soldiers who suppress the rebellion be killed?

Therefore, a minor crime of greed for money was used, and Lei You was finally demoted to the official position.

In fact, Song Jiu didn't know how to deal with Lei Youzhong. He said he was greedy, but he really didn't pretend to be a penny to put his pocket. This is essentially different from Wang Quanbin and Wang Jien. He said he was not greedy, because of his lack of rule, so many things happened, otherwise the rebellion would have been quelled long ago, and Chengdu would not have such a serious disaster.

This also set a record. No one of the head coaches who entered Bashu to suppress the rebellion, from Wang Quanbin to Wang Ji'en to Lei Youzhong, had a good ending. Even after Ma Zhijie transferred his post, Zhao Heng was worried about the others and transferred Zhang Yong to Chengdu. Zhang Yong's two appointments in Chengdu lasted almost eight years, creating a history of the term of office as a local official in the Song Dynasty.

And he forced Zhao Heng, who was not interested in strict law, to accept Song Jiu's proposal and issued an edict:

Within the Song Dynasty, anyone who tramples on the crops of the people must be compensated twice for any reason.

Anyone who disturbs the people or possesses property by the people will not ask for any reason. The mild ones are the military staff fifty, and the severe ones are beheaded and displayed for public display.

Anyone who insults a good woman will be killed without hesitation.

In the second year alone, forty-nine officers and soldiers, including two deputy inspectors, were killed because of this edict, and fifteen generals were dismissed from office and exiled.

But through this ruthless move, military discipline has been strengthened. If... Bashu rebelled again, I believe that similar situations will not happen again.

In general, after Song Jiu entered the Secretariat, the main movement was military, and internal governance was only a supplement, and the main body was still following Zhao Heng's Xianping rule.

Don’t underestimate these ancient people. For example, in history, Li Heng saw that the country was on fire this year and knew that Lingzhou could not be preserved. He suggested issuing an edict to let Pei Ji take the officers and soldiers and move the people who surrendered to the Song Dynasty to the mainland of Shaanxi. Zhao Heng did not listen, but later it fell. Pei Ji was defeated alone and died heroically. This was a famous general who cooperated with Li Jilong and defeated Yelu Xiuge two times...

Seeing that the Liao Kingdom was constantly launching a tentative attack, Zhang Qixian made suggestions in advance, asking to recruit 80,000 people from Jiang, Huai and Jinghu to strengthen garrison troops and broaden the border. Zhao Heng said that this did not only shake people's hearts, but also made people from the south garrison far away to guard the west, which was not convenient. As a result, Xiao Yanyan's army went south and was in a hurry. If the court had added 80,000 troops in advance at that time, would Xiao Yanyan have gone but not returned?

As a result, he was trapped on both sides and had to increase the number of banished soldiers to more than 600,000, forming more serious redundant soldiers.

But this is not Song Jiu's weakness. He has never been an arrogant person. He continues to obey opinions from all parties and even communicate with local officials like he did in the Secretariat before.

This kind of caution immediately came true, and soon the entire country entered a state of rapid development again.

Therefore, Zhao Heng said on the New Fire Festival: "It's too late to use you."

Song Jiu replied: "Your Majesty, it's not. The country is coming to peace quickly. The first contribution is Your Majesty, and the second contribution is Chen Shu. Without Chen Shu's careful management in the Three Divisions, there would be no sufficient wealth. I only have the merit of discharging wealth."

Chen Shu smiled bitterly. After Song Jiu's tossing, the three departments not only had no surplus last year, but instead paid more than 20 million yuan of money.

Zhao Heng just smiled and looked at the north...
