Su Shi later wrote the poems "Secretary of Li's Mountain House" and "Baishi Mountain House" for Li Chang.

Suyou's Ke Zhengtang and Baishi Shanfang also carried out book reprinting and exchange work, and the relationship between the two became very close.

But Li Chang was a scribe and had never done any national financial accounting work. Many people doubted whether Li Chang could do it well.

Someone asked Sima Guang about this, and Sima Guang replied: "If you put this person in charge of the country's affairs, the world will know that the court is not eager for profit, and the corrupt officials will overcome the troubles, and the common people will have little rest."

Su You did not agree with this view, but Li Chang was the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and nothing made him happier than Su You.

It’s better if you don’t understand, but it’s easier to teach if you don’t understand.

So Su You wrote a long letter to Li Chang, telling him not to worry.

The work of the Household Department is actually the work of the former Third Division, which has produced several capable ministers over the years.

Zhang Fangping pioneered the new accounting method in Sichuan, and later introduced the third division.

Zhao Wei made the country's financial system clear and clean;

Tang Jiezhi's Third Division introduced the review system and cleared up the accumulated accounts.

Wang Anshi also attached great importance to national finance and spread the system to all walks of life.

Now we only need to check the account books of each state government, and add a budget approval system and a financial declaration system. This will not only strengthen the power of the Minister of Revenue, but also strengthen management and supervision, laying a solid foundation for the next step of tax reform.

Another advantage is that the Empress Dowager has asked the Zhechong Mansion to search out all the hidden houses and hidden fields, and the results are gratifying.

After so many years, the problem of hidden households and hidden fields in the Song Dynasty has reared its head again. This time, a total of one million hectares of hidden fields were acquired, accounting for one-eighth of the country's existing cultivated land, which is equivalent to adding two Taihu Lakes.

The area of ​​cultivated land in the region has expanded to one million hidden households.

Nowadays, agricultural taxes account for two-fifths of the country's annual revenue. The newly included households and land alone will increase the country's annual revenue by 20 million yuan!

This is Gao Taotao's great achievement.

After pacifying the clan nobles and appointing honest officials such as Sima Guang and Lu Gongzhu, Gao Taotao has firmly grasped the righteousness and used sufficient means. After a year of hanging up the curtain, Gao Taotao has produced a solid political performance. Now, officials from various places have begun to call them "Yao and Shun among women".

"Call it.

In fact, many of the achievements of the successor should be attributed to the predecessor, while many of the problems caused by the incumbent need to be wiped out by the successor.

Therefore, there is a delay in "political performance".

However, in fact, many people do not understand this, or deliberately do not understand this, which is also unreasonable.

But in Gao Taotao's case, all other political achievements may have been left by Zhao Xu, but the idea of ​​using the Zhechong Division to expand the hidden fields and hidden households was his own idea, and not even Su You thought of it.

I have to admire it, it is a stroke of genius.

So Su You was reminding Li Chang that you, the Minister of Household Affairs, are very good at doing things, that is, you do everything according to the system, and within the framework of the system, you fully cooperate with the economic actions of the Queen Mother.

In fact, one thing is enough, which is to strengthen local supervision and expose all the rotten cats and dogs hidden in various places to the sunshine.

Now that we have telegraphs and telegraph departments, the cost of supervision has dropped to an all-time low, and that’s when great things can happen!

Renshen, it is reasonable to file a lawsuit, and those who have been offended since Xu Xining will speak for themselves.

This was intended to rehabilitate officials who were dismissed by Wang Anshi.

After all, Gao Taotao gave Su You face and did not insist on forcibly appointing An Tao. He issued an edict: "An Tao resigned from the Privy Council. According to Te's request, he still knew the Privy Council affairs. Wang Shao knew the Privy Council, and Cai Jingti promoted the Military Aircraft Department."

"

Several thorn-headed censors were relieved of their duties and retained their original posts.

Cheng Yi, the school secretary, was the storyteller for Chongzheng Hall.

Cheng Yi wrote three memorials and made planning suggestions for the emperor's education.

One is that during the day, the emperor should spend more time with magi and officials and less time with eunuchs and concubines, so his temperament will naturally change and his virtues will be achieved.

The second is that the emperor needs to have someone around him at all times. In addition to normal classes on weekdays, two people must stay overnight during the day and one person stays overnight in preparation for visits.

If you make a small mistake, just follow the rules. Over time, you will develop holy virtues.

The third one is to serve as the emperor's teacher, mentor, and protector. The manifestation of his virtue is to enable the emperor to "prevent the wrongs of what he sees and hears, restrain his hobbies, live in a suitable way, and be fearful and prudent."

Therefore, the emperor's assistants and ministers must be old enough, over forty-five, and have a serious and cautious character.

Then everyone, including the emperor himself, must be simple when using utensils to play.

The fourth is that ten ministers should be selected to be responsible for the emperor's academic affairs. They should only attend to the banquets on weekdays and also serve in daily life. All the affairs of the emperor should be made known to the banquet officials to facilitate education and correction.

The fifth is to respect the teacher. During the banquet, officials and waiters all sit down, but the speaker is independent, which is contrary to etiquette.

Teachers are required to sit down and give lectures in order to cultivate the master's heart of respecting Confucianism and Taoism.

The last step is to enhance the status of the Jingyan official. "I think that the most important responsibilities in the world are only for the prime minister and Jingyan."

"The order of chaos in the world depends on the prime minister, and the king's virtues are responsible for the success of the scriptures. From this point of view, peace and security should not be taken seriously!"

Gao Taotao thought it made sense and agreed to them all.

But Zhao Xu was so angry that he wrote to Su You to complain, "This old Dong Heng doesn't want me to live a good life anymore, Situ, come and help me!"

It happened that Wen Yanbo had arrived in Beijing, and Su You wanted to see him, so he took the train back to Bianjing.

When the emperor opened the first class, all the ministers and ministers would attend. This was a sign that the country attached great importance to education.

The place to listen to sutra lectures in the palace was the Gui Sui or Zishan Hall. Zi Shan Tang was the place where the prince studied, and the Gui Sui was the place where the emperor listened.

There is no problem with Cheng Yi's reputation and knowledge. Today is his first appearance, and many people are interested in him.

Su You walked over with a leather schoolbag on his back. Wen Yanbo, a handsome man with fair hair and bright hair, saw him and said, "My junior brother has been living here for thirty years, and his temperament has finally come out."

Su You quickly raised his hands in salute: "Su You pays homage to senior brother."

It is said that the two have a close relationship and support each other, but they rarely meet in person.

The officialdom of the Song Dynasty was very wary of the relationship between fellow disciples and teachers and students, because this was the cause of cliques.

However, fear comes from fear, and there are no shortage of cliques that should be produced.

What's more interesting is that there are exceptions to everything. For example, between Wen Yanbo and Su You, there is no need to worry about these.

Don't be afraid of the floating clouds covering your eyes, just because you are at the highest level.

Wen Yanbo made it clear that he was the master who was invited back by Sima Guang and Gao Taotao because they were afraid that they would not be able to control the situation. In later generations, it was called re-employment. Both his and Su You's reputations were very high and they had transcended the constraints of officialdom.

In today's parlance, the two of them were "teachers and ministers" together. They were responsible for "sitting and discussing matters" with the emperor on weekdays and "should not bother with official matters."

Moreover, there is no longer any interest relationship between Su You and Wen Yanbo. Wen Yanbo has been prime minister several times and has nothing to rely on Su You's help.

Su You was also recognized by everyone as the prime minister candidate. He did not become prime minister just to make Sima Guang Lu Gong look good. It was not that he was incompetent, so he had nothing to rely on Wen Yanbo's help.

Calling me "senior brother" and "disciple brother" means calling me "senior brother", but my attitude and behavior are consistent with the system and selfless. Compared with the superficial efforts to keep it clear, and the private collusion and communication, like Wang Gui and Cai Que, it is a completely different world.

In this case, the two of them were so compatible that they seemed magnanimous.

Wen Yanbo's temper was similar to Zhang Dun, but he had one advantage over Zhang Dun, that is, although he was arrogant and domineering towards his colleagues, he was very respectful and loyal to the emperor and the royal family.

This respect is reflected in etiquette and compliance with the system.

The two brothers are indeed students of Old Man Long. Even if the dragon chair is sitting on a child who is only ten years old, as long as he is the emperor and the courtiers should be polite, the two of them will never do it because of it. The emperor was too young and did not complete the required institutional procedures.

At this point, the two brothers are stronger than Sima Guang and Lu Gongzhu.

Su You also often used the old man as an example to educate Zhang Dun. Seeing your bad temper, can you find a partner?

After a while, Zhao Xu also arrived, accompanied by Bian Guan and Chen Wu, holding a wicker stick in his hand, which seemed to have just been broken from the garden.

Seeing Su You, Zhao Xu couldn't help showing his happiness, but he suppressed it in an instant and just came over to say hello to Wen Yanbo and Su You.

Seeing the willow branch in Zhao Xu's hand, Su You knew that the decoration of the harem was almost complete, and now only the final garden project was left, so he asked: "Your Majesty has moved to the new palace?"

Zhao Xu nodded: "Yes, but following Situ's teaching of making the best use of everything, I asked Su Yi to move all the furniture back and added some bookshelves, sofas and chairs."

Su You had heard this matter from Bian Guan before. Zhao Xu replaced all the furniture in the new palace with those used by his father.

There used to be a desk in the old palace, but Gao Taotao thought it was a bit old, so he had someone remove it and replace it with a new one. However, when Zhao Xu came back from school, he found it and asked someone to move the old desk back.

Su You often told Zhao Xu stories about his father. In Zhao Xu's mind, Zhao Xu's image was tall and plump.
