Zhang Fangping knew that he was being humble.

It was obvious that the distribution of the land was irreversible, but the people below insisted on forcing him to die, which clearly showed that moths flew into the fire, but as the censor, he could not be cowardly. Zhang Fangping was so angry that he didn't know who did it, but he knew that it must be the people from Wang Ning'an's side.

Since they are all your people, the account is on your head!

According to convention, the old ministers who retired had to go through three condolences.

Zhao Shu did the same, but on the third time, Zhang Fangping boldly wrote a letter that he wanted to leave, but one thing must be solved!

That's the utility!

In his memorial, Zhang Fangping analyzed in detail the reasons for the emergence of the utility warriors. He believed that at the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, he faced a powerful threat from the north and lost the protection of the Great Wall. Therefore, there must be a large number of soldiers to act as barriers.

If there are too many soldiers, you will not be able to train elite soldiers. Therefore, you have to rely on the power of local powerful people, especially those in Hebei.

They were allowed to recruit utilities, and the court also provided convenience and provided weapons subsidies. Therefore, utilities were counted as elite soldiers raised by the court and the powerful!

In previous battles, the Utility Man made many contributions and was a sharp sword in the hands of the court!

But... the Song Dynasty had already restored Youzhou, and seized Hengshan from Xixia, opening up the Western Regions, and the strength of strength had been reversed. The Song Dynasty could defend the city with dangerous mountains, and there was no need to think about the way it used to raise too many people.

The Hebei Legion’s layoff is a clear proof!

Since the offensive and defensive momentum has changed, the foundation for the existence of the utility soldier will be gone.

The court allowed local governments to raise utility men, which would actually form local emperors of all sizes, seriously threatening the security of the court... Zhang Fangping suggested that the effective personnel must be immediately abolished and issued an order. From now on, the utility men are not allowed to exist.

Zhang Fangping’s memorial did not mention Wang Ning’an’s name, but everyone knows that the most powerful and powerful utilitarians in the world are in the Wang family!

Aren’t you Wang Ning’an plotting against me?

Before leaving, I will bite you hard!

Zhang Fangping was not afraid of Wang Ning'an. He had always been honest and honest, and his family had no problems, otherwise he would not be able to sit firmly in the position of the Chief Censor.

Since I am upright and have no handle, I am not afraid of you, King Xiliang!

He wrote a letter to reveal the problem of utility, and followed closely behind. Dozens of people wrote a letter to criticize utility.

They believed that the court had sufficient financial resources and strong military power, so there was no need to be afraid of barbarians. At this time, the retaining of utility soldiers would only encourage local powerful forces, make them obscene with the court and do whatever they want.

...

"What else can these little bastards do besides causing trouble for me!"

Wang Ning'an was so angry that he slapped the table. With his prestige and status, no one dared to mess with him in normal times, but the problem was that he had deposed all the old ministers in one go. Some people must be unhappy. This was an opportunity to cause trouble for him!

Isn’t you Wang Ning’an going to reform? Let’s start with your own family first! Let’s see if you Wang Ning’an has the courage! If you don’t have the courage to cut yourself, don’t touch our land.

Speaking of which, Zhang Fangping's grasp is really amazing.

In any case, the emperor's eyes are potential threats and bad intentions.

The core thing of a country is military power, and no emperor is willing to split it up.

In the last few years, Uncle Zhao continued to strengthen the imperial guards, which saw that there was a danger of warlordization in the local area, so he pushed the strong dry and weak branches to prevent unpredictable situations.

Even if Zhao Shu and Wang Ning'an have a good relationship with their master and apprentice, the little guy would not think that Wang Ning'an was going to rebel, but this problem of utility is hard to say.

"What do you think?" Wang Ning'an asked casually.

Gou Yaer scratched her head, "If you want to say something to Your Majesty, just take it as nothing serious? Anyway, Your Majesty won't mind."

"But I mind!" Wang Ning'an's voice was deep, "If you only reform others but dare not reform yourself, can your father's great cause of reform continue?"

Gou Yaer was asked without saying anything, and he scratched his head, "Dad, even if he really wanted to lay off the ground, it wouldn't be that easy."

"Tell me, what's the difficulty!"

Wang Ning'an has not cared about family affairs for a long time. The Wang family's utility is all under the responsibility of his father. As for military pay, it is based on the property I have in my mother's hands.

Because Gou Yaer goes to see her grandparents every year and lives with them for a while, she is very familiar with the situation.

The core force of the Wang family's utility soldiers was about 60,000. These people were scattered along the Great Wall and were the main force in the counterattack of the Liao soldiers.

The most common thing they do is to run to the grassland, burn down dead grass, rob cattle and sheep, attack tribe garrisons, and drive them away the farther away, the better.

Because of its good equipment, sufficient training, and its powerful intelligence system.

Most of the Utility Warriors' attacks were successful. The cattle and sheep were all stolen. They were cut off their heads and could also be exchanged for rewards. Many young people were keen to become Utility Warriors. In addition to the core personnel, there were also a group of Utility Warriors, as well as some Utility Warriors who were old and temporarily retreated. There were more than 80,000 people in total. In other words, when encountering a war, the Wang family army could take out 150,000 people!

Don’t be busy. If you include the young and strong bow and arrow clubs in various places and the Han militias of Youzhou, the total number will reach 400,000!

After listening to his son's introduction, Wang Ning'an also sweated on his forehead.

I really didn't expect that he had accumulated such power over the years. Fortunately, the old Zhao family was very enthusiastic. If he had become the emperor, he would have been unable to sleep or eat long ago!

Gouyaer doesn't think so. The Zhao family is not so arrogant, but has no choice but to be too big. It's not just the Wang family that raises the utility man, but also two large families!

The Zhe family in the Prefectures had 22,000 core utility workers last year, and the number of people in the Zong family exceeded 50,000!

The three families have 200,000 to 300,000, and they are all tiger and wolf soldiers. They are quite fierce. Even if the court wants to sack, it will not have the courage.

In the past, no one was willing to encounter this problem, but Zhang Fangping was so angry that he lifted the lid because he was dismissed from office. Other censors followed up and couldn't handle it!

"Dad, those big turbans are so bad... How did you defeat them before?" Gou Yaer's head's circuit is indeed different from that of normal people. He still has leisure gossip.

Wang Ning'an rolled his eyes, "Have you climbed the mountain?"

"Climbed!"

"What does it feel like when you climb up at the foot of the mountain? What does it feel like when you reach the top of the mountain? Especially those snow-capped mountains in Qingtang? Will it feel cold, disgusting, dizzy when you reach the top? It seems like you are dying?"

Gou Yaer thought about it seriously, "You said it's so cold that it's so cold at the height, I can understand it!"

Wang Ning'an also smiled.

"It's not easy to understand, but it's not easy to do. Things in this world have always been easy to know and difficult to do."

It seemed as if to prove Wang Ning'an's words, Su Che came to visit.

Gou Yaer quickly pulled her second uncle to sit down. Su Che seemed out of breath, sweaty on his forehead, and was very anxious.

"What's going on? Is there any trouble?"

"Oh, indeed."

Su Che told the situation again. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, the people have divided the fields again and life is a little better. Many workers in cotton mills want to go home and have a good New Year.

"Is the New Year? It should be!" Gou Yaer said puzzledly.

"How can you know? Tianzhu's orders are tightly urging, and it must be shipped as soon as possible, and it cannot be delayed... But many weavers think that they will come to work after the fifteenth, and some even said that it will be after the second day of February, and the daylily will be cold, and the factory can't afford to wait!"

This time, Gouyaer was also stupid.

"Uncle, can't we reason with the workers and let them bear it?"

Su Che shook his head, "The truth can be explained, but it may not work. Parents, wives and children at home look forward to it, and they also worship ancestors and heaven, and have a reunion dinner. Most people are unwilling to stay!"

Su Che finally discovered that there were sequelae after dividing the land.

At least these workers are not so hardworking and willing to work, and some even shouted that they could not live for a year, so they might as well go home to farm!

"Brother-in-law, let me tell you the truth. When the Chinese New Year is over, many people will definitely stay in the countryside. After they make wages, they can already redeem land. They might as well live a comfortable life at home and will not come to work. Maybe they will have a labor shortage next year!"

Wang Ning'an nodded, feeling very emotional.

It’s true that the principles of ancient and modern times have come out of the Song Dynasty!

If you give the people benefits and land, they will have the capital for negotiation, so it will naturally be difficult to deal with... Could it be that Wen Kuanfu is right? Should the people be bankrupt, force them to enter the city, and then ask for help and exploit them hard?

It seems that I can't convince myself.

"Ziyou, do you know what the people think, how should they pass this barrier?"

Su Che thought for a while and he pondered: "Brother-in-law, more than one million acres of land in Yanzhou, because women were included, on average, one person was divided into less than one and a half acres... Whether it was growing grain or cotton, it was just barely hungry... Who wouldn't want life to get better and better? And every household would have to have children and have their own branches and leaves... After a while, the surplus labor force in the countryside would pour into the city, forcing them to come out to work, and there were young people in those schools. After studying and learning technology, they could not go back to carry hoes! So, in two or three years, the people would adapt..."

"But the problem of shortage of labor needs to be solved at the moment!" Wang Ning'an answered the words, "The factory has just been operating now. I guess not only Yanzhou, but also Youzhou, factories that produce steam engines, coal mines, and steel plants will encounter this problem..."

Su Zhe said: "Yes, conservatively, the two places also need 100,000 fully-finished workers to avoid delaying the matter... But the question is, where can we find these 100,000 people?"

Su Che was so worried that he had his head raised, but Wang Ningan frowned slightly, and Gou Yaer burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, what's the problem? Dad, don't we have more than 100,000 people in our family!" Gou Yaer clapped excitedly, "If Zhang Fangping knew about it, he would actually help us a lot, and he would be angry to death!"
