Chapter 437 The First Issue

Of course, Renzong would also punish Chen Yuan by the way.

Renzong was very excited when hundreds of officials stood in the hall! Any emperor would be very excited if his army won! But Renzong was different from other emperors. He was bullied by others!

This is like a nine-rate gangster who is often chased by others. He suddenly has great martial arts skills. What he wants to do most now is to taste the feeling of bullying others! Renzong's goal is naturally Li Yuanhao.

Looking at the civil and military generals such as Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, Song Qi, Liu Ping, Di Qing and other civil and military generals standing below him, Renzong's face was filled with smiles.

Especially Liu Ping and others, they were the new army of Renzong. This time they made their first contributions, which was enough to prove that the practice of rebuilding the Song Dynasty military system was completely correct.

Fan Zhongyan stepped forward and said, "Long live, the victory of the Battle of Western Xinjiang, Li Yuanhao no longer has the ability to peek at the territory of our Song Dynasty. Now is a great opportunity to implement the new policy. I have the foundation, so please live the report!"

When he said these words, Xia Shun and Pang Ji did not say a word in the court. As for Wang Yanling, he was taken away by Bao Zheng at the city gate in the morning.

Bao Zheng had to kill someone, not just to kill someone, but to calm the matter down.

The current Song Dynasty is stable overwhelming! The victory of the war has covered up many internal contradictions, including the dissatisfaction of the people, and there is no debate in the court because of the reduction in victory.

At this time, Bao Zheng didn't want to cause any more trouble. Since Pang Ji and Xia Shu gave in, Renzong would definitely not touch Pang Ji. It would be bad for everyone if it made a big deal. Let Wang Yanling carry everything on his back!

Before Wang Yanling was imprisoned, he was still hoping that Xia Shu would come back to rescue him, but Xia Shu didn't say anything now. Bao Zheng was really worthless for Wang Yanling.

Wang Yanling is not a bad person. The idea of ​​killing someone was made by Xia Feng, and Pang Ji did it, so it has little to do with Wang Yanling.

But he is too honest. In some struggles, whoever is the most honest will be destined to suffer losses. Sometimes, those who want to kill people are not the ones who deserve to be killed.

Renzong had already handed over this matter to Bao Zheng. This was Renzong's trust in Bao Zheng, and he believed that Bao Zheng would not disappoint him.

Now that he heard that Fan Zhongyan was going to implement the new policy, Renzong smiled and looked at Pang Ji and Xia Shu: "Who else is there any objection?"

No one spoke in the court, and Renzong immediately said: "Since everyone has no objection to the implementation of the new policy, then Fan Aiqing came up with a plan."

Fan Zhongyan was overjoyed: "My minister, follow the order!"

Renzong said: "The implementation of the new policy should focus on strengthening the army. I will expand the new army again to make the scale of the new army reach 100,000 or 200,000! Include the Dangxiang into the territory of the Song Dynasty within one year!"

Fan Zhongyan was shocked when he was delighted: "Long live! Although we defeated Li Yuanhao, Dangxiang still had more than 100,000 cavalrymen. If we forcefully attacked, our Song Dynasty would definitely suffer heavy losses! Don't fight again!"

Renzong was a little unhappy after hearing this. He was thinking about killing Li Yuanhao and then going to fight Liao Xingzong. He felt that if there were 200,000 new troops, he could do it completely!

Seeing Renzong's unhappy expression, Fan Zhongyan said immediately: "Long live, I think that our Song Dynasty should take advantage of the defeat of Dangxiang and the Liao Kingdom's powerless opportunity to quickly implement the new policy to ease internal conflicts and strengthen the army and enrich the country, so that we can have the opportunity to completely resolve the problems of Dangxiang and even the Liao Kingdom!"

He is a person who dares to say anything as long as he thinks it is right. If it were other officials, the emperor was in a hurry at this time and no one would come to pour a basin of water.

Fortunately, he had just won the battle, but Renzong trusted him very much at this time. Although he was unhappy, he could still listen to it. He just asked back: "Fan Aiqing, then when will you be able to send troops to Dangxiang?"

Fan Zhongyan thought about it and said that this question is really difficult to answer. When will the troops be sent? It depends on how the new policy is implemented to determine it.

Fan Zhongyan stopped talking because the new policy has not been implemented yet, so the effect is still very difficult to say.

Renzong suddenly turned his attention to Chen Yuan standing at the corner. He wanted to hear what Chen Yuan planned, because Renzong knew that Chen Yuan had a very complete set of methods to guide Xijiang before, and during this period Bao Zheng said that he was also thinking about this issue in prison.

But Chen Yuan didn't say a word yet. Was he really scared by Bao Zheng? Renzong asked: "Chen Shimei, what do you think?"

Chen Yuan disagreed with Fan Zhongyan's idea.

There is a conflict between the two people in this regard. Chen Yuan agreed with the new policy, but he did not advocate the comprehensive launch of the new policy so quickly! Even if it is a simple thing, it has to be done step by step.

We must give everyone a process from understanding to acceptance.

At the same time, when dealing with Renzong's unrealistic ambitions that were a little overexcited, Fan Zhongyan felt that this was a very dangerous thing, but Chen Yuan believed that ambition was an important condition that determines how far a person could go!

Ambitions can be unrealistic, but they must not be without them! Only an ambitious person can continue to succeed. If an emperor has no ambition, then this dynasty will be in danger!

Chen Yuan immediately took a step forward: "Long live, I don't agree with what Lord Fan said. I think it's not the time to implement the new policy."

Chen Yuan's words surprised many people in the court, and everyone's eyes looked at him. You must know that he was the leader of the young and strong sects in the past!

Including Xia Shun and Pang Ji, they all thought that Chen Yuan had changed his nature this time. They couldn't help but think that if Chen Yuan could really be pulled over by himself, it would not be enough to change the situation of implementing the new policy, but at least it could set up resistance for the implementation of the new policy.

Xia Feng stood up and glanced at Chen Yuan: "Long live, I think what Chen Shimei said is reasonable. The implementation of the new policy can be implemented until the conditions are getting better."

Ouyang Xiu and others were very surprised. Chen Yuan was so persistent at the beginning and did so many things to implement the new policy. Why did he suddenly change his position when he succeeded?

Even Renzong couldn't understand: "Chen Shimei, haven't you always said that the new policy is good?"

Chen Yuan nodded: "Even now, I also say that the new policy is very good. What I mean is that the implementation of the new policy can slow down. Now our top priority is to concentrate all our strength and appease the refugees! Long live my life, when I returned home this morning, I heard from my family that in my charity house, the people who fled had increased from more than a thousand to more than 5,000!"

After hearing Chen Yuan say this, Fan Zhongyan frowned slightly after hearing this.

Chen Yuan continued: "Some friends of me are doing business. They told me that Dangxiang is now full of grief, and every day, countless Dangxiang people fled to the Song Dynasty for survival. Although the war in Western Xinjiang went smoothly, the people in Western Xinjiang could no longer support themselves this year due to the war. The influx of Dangxiang refugees will inevitably increase their burden. If it is handled improperly, the consequences may be unimaginable."

Renzong looked at Fan Zhongyan with his eyes, wanting to know from him if what Chen Yuan said was true. Fan Zhongyan said: "Long live, Chen Shimei's words are true. Although Xijiang has won now, the people's lives are in a difficult situation and need help."

Xu Huaide suddenly said: "Long live the end of the year, and the same is true for the border between Song and Liao. Last year, the price of wool in Liao Kingdom soared, and many people changed their grain fields into pastures, but this year it plummeted. The grain production of Liao Kingdom has dropped very strongly. In addition, the rebellion of *** and Jurchen has lasted for a long time, and now the Liao Kingdom is also famine. Many people who cannot survive want to enter our Song Dynasty, and spend more than a day."

When he talked about this, Renzong suddenly changed his face. He had never received such news. It was not that the officials dereliction of duty, but that the consequences were not serious enough to alarm Renzong. Although refugees appeared in Bianjing very early, there were not many people at the beginning.

There are a few good people like Chen Yuan and Fan Zhongyan who stand up to solve the problem. Even if there are more people now, every place can suppress them. And after the news of victory came, the conflict seemed to be relieved a lot.

Now Chen Yuan put this conflict that had not yet erupted and said everything, because he felt that the so-called relief was just an illusion. It was a fact that the Song Dynasty still reduced its grain output this year, and it was also a fact that more refugees without food and drink continued to pour into the Song Dynasty!

If you really don’t take these hidden dangers that have not exploded seriously, you may not be able to stop them when they explode!

His opinion was immediately approved by many people, including Pang Ji and Xia Shun, who voted in favor, and agreed that the issue of refugees should be put first.

Of course, Renzong knew that if the situation was really like this, then the refugees would be the problem that must be solved now, even as Chen Yuan said, it was more important than the new policy! It was more important than his bullying others!

He was just a little unwilling to accept that the refugees would be gone with a chance to bully others! He asked immediately: "My dear friends, who do you have a proper solution to resettle refugees?"

Everyone didn't speak, and resettling refugees required food, and food was a product that could not be changed! If you lacked income, you would have no food.

What's more, this famine was different from the past. In the past, small-area famines, the Song Dynasty often recruited soldiers to recruit those strong people into the army, which at least avoided the danger of being a good person. However, last year's locust plague was not a small area, and affected the four major grain-producing states in the Song Dynasty.

There is also no defense in the entire Western Xinjiang due to war. The most important thing is that some refugees themselves are Dangxiang people or Khitans, so recruiting soldiers is obviously not suitable.

Chen Yuan had no choice! Although he had hoarded a lot of food, the number of victims now far exceeded his expectations and was growing every day. This can be said to be a battlefield, a war participated by Song, Liao, Dangxiang and all three parties. In this war, whoever can relieve the food crisis first will be the biggest winner.

Those who cannot escape the crisis are likely to be dragged down!
