Chapter 764 Prime Minister's Belly
Zhao Xu ignored him. It was rare to think about so many things. He shook his shoulders, stood up, walked outside, and said, "Let Meiren Liu set off for Beijing, and then send an order to Zhe Keshi, and order him to continue to put pressure on Li Ganshun. If Li Xia dares to move around, he will call me back."
"Yes." Tangerine peel followed behind.
At the same time, Bianjing City.
Zhang Dun, Zhang Feng, Cai Bian, Xu Jiang and others sat in the green tiled room, chatting with a relaxed expression.
Xu Jiang smiled and said, "Gong-gong Cai really did not read the wrong person. Lu Huiqing did this."
Cai Bian shook his head and sighed, "To be honest, I was worried before, until I saw the victory on Chengdu Mansion Road, otherwise I would not believe it..."
Zhang Feng looked calm and said, "Now, it's about the resettlement of Qingtang area."
Cai Bian responded, saying, "We had discussed and had plans. Take it down and immigrate one million first, reclaim wasteland, exempt from taxes for one year, and reduce it by half in the next three years."
At this time, Zhang Dun packed up his things and said directly: "Duty exemption for three years."
When Cai Bian heard this, he turned to look at him, and saw that there was a rare look of joy on his face, and said, "It's rare to say something publicly, that's three years."
Xu General thought for a moment and said, "Three years may not be enough. Qingtang area has fertile land and vast territory, which is worth four or five Chengdu Prefecture Roads. One million will be a little less."
Zhang Dun picked up the teacup, looked thoughtful, and said, "I have such considerations, but I don't have to hurry up. I won't move it over in one breath. Let's go and watch."
Zhang Qi also thought so, saying, "Li Xia wrote a letter saying that he had rejected Tubo's military training and asked the court for pension."
Cai Bian snorted coldly and said, "Li Xia took advantage of the situation and robbed many places in Tubo this time. Are you trying to take the opportunity to become a big shot?"
Zhang Qi said: "I'm not worried about Li Xia. I mean, how should I reply to this letter?"
Zhang Dun held a teacup in his hand and said, "Then I won't go back. Tell me about the military reform."
The Dali Kingdom and Tubo decided that Li Xia did not dare to act rashly for the time being. Liao was worried about external troubles at home and Song Dynasty, and the external environment of the Song Dynasty was unprecedentedly peaceful, which was an excellent opportunity for development.
Zhang Feng glanced at Xu General, Xu Jiangyi said to Zhang Dun: "The three northern routes are basically not a big problem, it is a problem of in-depth promotion. Now, the main energy of the Ministry of War and the Privy Council is on Jiangnan West Road, and based on the Nandaying of Jiangnan West Road, it is advancing around..."
Zhang Dun listened carefully, waited for Xu General to finish his words, and looked at him and said, "Thank you to the Ministry of War to speed up the completion. We have too many things to do, and time is no longer available."
Xu Jiang looked at Zhang Dun's white hair that seemed to appear suddenly on his temples and said, "I understand."
Zhang Dun turned to Cai Bian and said, "The Ministry of Revenue still refuses to agree?"
Cai Bian smiled bitterly and said, "I have talked with Liang Tao several times. Liang Tao was shirking his responsibilities in the front, but he refused to speak later. He refused to agree to the tax cuts, so he just said that the reduction would be fine. In the future, he would not change it..."
Xu Jiang smiled and said, "I know this. I heard that Shangshu Liang was forced to go south to find the official to reason..."
This kind of policy dispute is often found within the court, not principled or party disputes. Zhang Dun was not angry and nodded and said, "Talk about it again."
The Song Dynasty court was planning to further reduce taxes to alleviate the pressure on the people, alleviate land conflicts, and alleviate people's chaos.
But what we are facing is that the Song Dynasty's reforms are spending more and more, and a large amount of money and food continues to be large.
This is a huge contradiction.
Cai Bian had no choice but to respond, thinking about the words in his heart.
Seeing the rare good atmosphere today, Xu Jiang paused and said, "Grandpa, I think, please talk to Mr. Li. The newly compiled "Shenzong Records" is too harsh to Sima Junshi and others... When Mr. Anshi retired, Sima Junshi also said, "It's too much."
Zhang Dun wrinkled, then let go, his face was serious and contemplative.
Zhang Feng and Cai Bian both looked at him.
The views of Sima Guang in the court were very divided and there were many kinds, especially Li Qingchen and others, who hated him extremely, so in the newly edited "Records of Shenzong", the old party such as Sima Guang was greatly belittled, which caused quite aroused controversy.
And amid the controversy, few people stood up and said something loudly.
Because everyone knows the grudges between the great prime minister and Sima Guang today.
Gu Feng
After Sima Guang took over Wang Anshi, he tried to abolish the "new law" and angered Zhang Dun. Zhang Dun pointed at Sima Guang's nose and called him a "village master".
Zhang Dun was then exiled from the capital.
Now, if Zhang Dun doesn't speak, no one can stop Li Qingchen.
“It’s indeed a little past.”
As Cai Bian and others watched, Zhang Dun said with a normal expression: "Sima Guang has gone through four dynasties and assisted in the government for three dynasties. Although he has made great mistakes, he is not useless. The late emperors of all dynasties will not appoint anyone who is useless to assist in the government."
Cai Bian, Zhang Feng, Xu Jiang and others nodded secretly.
Zhang Dun has a stubborn side and a magnificent side.
"I told the Ministry of Rites."
Zhang Dun sat upright and said in a deep voice: "The border troubles have been gone. Now is the time to work together to eliminate the bad policies. The center of my great Song Dynasty!"
Smiles appeared on everyone's faces again, and they couldn't help but imagine.
Cai Bian thought about it, couldn't help but stand up and said, "I'll go to see Mr. Su later. The Consultative Yuan has been stuck in a lot of things and can't be delayed."
Zhang Dun said: "The official family expects to arrive in Beijing in one month. After that, I will leave Beijing and leave it to you."
Zhang Dun actually always wanted to go down and take a look, but he was always trapped in the Political Affairs Hall.
Cai Bian did not stop him this time and said, "Do you go to Jiangnan West Road?"
"more than."
Zhang Dun looked out the door and said, "I'll go some places that the government hasn't gone to, take a look. The reason why the new laws were difficult to implement everywhere and good laws turned into bad laws was that they were unrealistic. This time, we should avoid them."
Zhang Feng looked at him and said, "Don't go too far."
Zhang Dun paused slightly, then understood and said, "Cao Zheng is with me."
Cai Bian was a little puzzled why Zhang Dun took Cai Bian, but he didn't ask. He looked out the door and smiled and said, "I guess they should know about it. Grandpa, don't you put a table on it?"
Zhang Dun understood what he meant, stood up and said, "I want to be put on it. Tonight, all the husbands and the six ministers of the ministers will come to our mansion and I will treat you."
Xu Jiang stood up and smiled and said, "Who doesn't know that the eldest husband is the most stingy and rarely treats him. This time, the eldest husband can't feel sorry for the money. He wants to give us some good food."
Zhang Dun showed a smile on his face.
Several people were chatting and laughing easily. The six ministers and others outside learned about the news about Tubo and Dali Kingdom, and went to the palace to go to the Political Affairs Hall.
Including Su Song, Su Shi, Lai Zhishao, Liang Tao and others.
...
In the evening of mid-June, Zhao Xu quietly returned to Bianjing City.
But he did not enter the palace immediately, but came to the restaurant he bought for Empress Meng.
After taking a shower, he lay on the bed, put Brother Quan on his stomach and swayed gently.
The little guy opened his big eyes and kept staring at Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu teased carefully, and Yu Guang glanced at Empress Meng who was tidying up her clothes, and said with a smile: "Brother Quan doesn't seem to resist me much?"
Seeing that Zhao Xu had been out for a few months, and the clothes were still there, Empress Meng smiled and said, "I guess she is a little unfamiliar. Do you want to make some new clothes?"
The palace is now thrifty and rarely makes clothes.
Zhao Xu said casually: "If you want to do it, do it yours, mine is enough."
