After September, Bianjing City became colder and colder.

The demand for coal has increased sharply, and more and more coal ships entering Beijing from the Bian River, Cai River and Wuzhang River every day.

In order to encourage the development, production and sales of the coal industry, Zhao Xu officially passed the imperial edict in September Yiwei (the fourth day of the lunar month). From now on, Carbonifer will be exempted from taxes and will only be levied at the sales place (that is, sales tax), and the housing tax rate will be reduced by half!

This means that coal became the first commodity in the Song Dynasty that could be freely circulated without geographical restrictions.

The decree was issued, and the city of Bianjing cheered.

Because coal is the energy source of Bianjing.

Whether it is heating or cooking, the people of Bianjing are no longer free from coal.

Abolishing over-tax means an increase in supply and a decrease in housing tax means a decrease in coal prices.

As expected, the price of carbon in Bianjing dropped.

In a few days, the official price of 60 cents per meter (calculated by the Northern Song Dynasty coal, one weighs 15 jin) dropped to 55 cents per meter.

It seems not much, but for the general public, it is rain from heaven!

no way!

Even in Bianjing City, most people are still struggling on the line of food and clothing.

Every little burden of life needs is reduced, which means that the whole family's life can be improved a little.

And during these days, the personnel appointment and removal of the Song Dynasty continued.

In September, Xinyou (the sixth day of the lunar month), he was a doctor of the court, a direct scholar of Baowen Pavilion, and a master of Yingzhou, Xie Jingwen, and was promoted to the Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Justice.

This one is Wang Anshi's childhood friend, a relative (Xie Jingwen's sister married Wang Anshi's younger brother Wang Anli), and is also an important member of the initial reform team during the Xining reform.

Later... I got into a quarrel with Wang Anshi because of some things.

So the aggressor was attacked by Bianjing and he became an official in the local area since then.

And because he had participated in the Xining reform in depth, the old party was also unhappy about him.

As a person who was targeted by both the old and the new, Xie Jingwen has actually had a hard time these years.

This time he was able to return to the court because Zhang Dun and Han Zhen said good things to him.

He and Han Zhen were good friends and made their debut in groups (in the sixth year of Qingli, Xie Jingwen, Xie Jingchu brothers, Wang Anshi and Han Zhen, were both officials in Zhejiang and were named Four Sages).

As for Zhang Dun?

When Zhang Dun opened Jinghu, Xie Jingwen was the transferee of Jinghu South Road and the governor of Tanzhou. During this period, he fully cooperated and supported Zhang Dun's actions.

Therefore, Zhang Dun's military merits are half as good as Xie Jingwen.

In the ninth month of Renxu (the seventh day of the lunar month), Zhao Junxi, the doctor of the Right Secretariat, was promoted to Taichang Shaoqing.

On the eighth day of Guihai (the eighth day of the lunar month), Du Chun, the Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Justice, was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

Ying Taishi, Wen Yanbo, the important affairs of Pingzhang's military and national affairs, reported that Wang Qinchen, the doctor of the Ministry of Works, was the Taifu Shaoqing. This was the son of Wang Zhu, and Wang Zhu was one of the important officials who followed Fan Zhongyan to carry out the Qingli New Deal, but he died in the second year of Jiayou.

Bingyin (Eleventh), the Living Man, the Records of Emperor Shenzong, Lin Xi, the Young Supervisor of the Hebei River Inspection Commission, was also an ambassador of Hebei River Inspection, and was ordered to cross the Hebei River Channel to prepare for the silt this winter.

Lin Xi is going out to avoid disaster.

The reason is a bit complicated. To put it simply, he and Zhang Qi were playing secret room politics.

They added several related households to the officials who recommended the court to the Kekan Pavilion Examination.

Among them is Lin Xi's wife Lu Changyu.

Originally, this was nothing, after all, it was not the first day for the priests of the Song Dynasty to give private gifts.

But the key is that Lu Chang is more and more problematic.

The obvious reason is that his article is not good enough.

At least many people think that this person is not qualified to be a candidate.

The system of the state of the country and the palace is selected by Hua.

A must-choose a person who has articles and must use his talents in poetry and essays!

Has Lu Changyu written any famous works? Have he ever had any poems and essays passed down from generation to generation?

No!

Why should I take the exam hall without him?!

Besides, we also heard that this person has a problem with his character and there are several charges of corruption and bribery.

Such people have problems with moral character and morality and are not good at writing, so why can they take the exam for the hall?

We are not convinced!

This is a black box operation!

The private reason is also the real reason, but it is actually the struggle between the old and new parties.

Although Lu Changyu's status is not high.

However, in the sixth year of Yuanfeng, it was the first time he wrote a letter to propose to send Mencius to the Confucius Temple.

Moreover, he really did this.

The struggle between the old and new parties is carried out around Mencius in the fields of ideology and thought.

The new party admired Meng and thought it was the sub-saint.

The old party firmly opposed Mencius's favor to enjoy the Confucius Temple, let alone put Mencius' tablet behind Confucius. Before Yan Zi and Zeng Zi, this was a rebellion against Tiangang for the old party!

As a result, the two sides broke out in a fierce line struggle, from the sixth year of Yuanfeng to the end of Yuanfeng's seventh year, and finally relying on Zhao Xu's father to disagree with the final say, then they carried Mencius into the Confucius Temple and Zhao Xu ascended the throne. This matter came to an end.

How long has it been?

Can people from the old party forget?

So, Zhang Yu and Lin Xi were careless and forgot to flash. They were caught by someone, and they were just a lightning bolt.

For a moment, Zhang Ruyun, Zhang Yu and Lin Xi were scolded so much that they were bleeding.

The impeachment memorials against the two were almost filled with the case desks of the Tongjian Department.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Xi asked to see Zhao Xu, so Zhao Xu arranged for him the "Hebei River Visit Ambassador" and sent him out to avoid disaster - as long as he was not in Bianjing, the crows' saliva would not be able to spray him!

In the eyes of the crows, Lin Xi is just kneeling down.

It is not advisable to pursue and fight hard anymore. After all, although Lin Xi is a new party, his younger brother Lin Dan is a recognized talent of the old party and is still a member of the Secretariat. He is the one who wrote the thank-you form to the Lord of Ganquan County, the family of Taishi Wen.

This is not easy to tear apart, and it really makes a revenge that will never end.

However, Lin Xi ran away and sold Zhang Qi.

Dingmao (Twelve), Lu Chang was unable to withstand it, so he asked to stop the entrance examination.

Zhang Qi couldn't bear it anymore and announced that he would close his door to thank the guests.

The crows took advantage of the victory and continued to whip them.

He began to impose Zhang Yu and Lin Xi as a treacherous party and a cliché.

The reason why Zhang Qi opened the back door for Lin Xi was also explained as that Lin Xi's younger brother Lin Dan was a clerk in the Secretariat and could speak well in front of the imperial court, while Zhang Qi's "traitorous ministers planned to be in charge of the position and wanted to be a supporter" - it seemed that Zhang Qi was in power and needed to curry favor with Lin Dan.

Of course these are just things that have been mentioned.

What the crows really exaggerated was the past when Zhang Qi clinged to Wang Gui and flattered Wang Gui many times.

This is how I wish Zhang Yu would die - who doesn't know that the Empress Dowager "has deep hated Wang Gui" and "had wanted to kill Gui", so that there was a legend in the palace that "If Gui didn't die, he would be punished."

Therefore, if the court officials are related to Wang Gui, and if they are proven to be Wang Gui's party, they will definitely be hated by the Empress Dowager!

When Zhang Yu heard the news, he was so scared that he was out of his mind and immediately began to write a letter to ask the county.

The Censorate won a complete victory!

The crows were proud and very unhappy!

To overthrow a ruler, everyone's KPIs are over, and promotion and reputation are just around the corner.

Zhao Xu didn't pay much attention to these things.

There is nothing to pay attention to.

This guy Zhang Qi is not familiar with him and has no feelings for both lives.

So it's not worth his waste of energy to save.

Besides, if Zhang Yu leaves his job, the capital will have another trick.

It just happens to be used to reward those who have made contributions in this battle.

In addition, Zhao Xu has also been very busy recently!

I really can't take any energy and care about these intrigue political struggles in the court.

The war on the front line involved a lot of his energy.

In Dingmao (Twelve), the first batch of cotton bolls transported from Xihe Road were sent to Bianjing City, which further made him busy.
