Zhao Xu has been in power for more than a year, and it seems that he is not as rude as Zhao Shu, and Han Qi has also gone down. There is one person who can't sit still, Fu Bi.

If he wants to come out, how many disciples will be lobbyists?

Zhao Xu made a verdict to Ruzhou, just south of Luoyang. Of course, this was a transition. Just kidding. Fu Bi wanted to come out to become an official, how could he be a small governor of Ruzhou?

Before his tenure, Zhao Xu summoned Fu Bi to the capital first.

Wang Ju talked about Wen Han Fu, but there were too many things involved in it. Wang Ju didn't dare to say it in depth. He played a role and gave Zhao Xu a reminder.

Therefore, in Zhao Xu's mind, Fu Bi is still a humble gentleman.

Fu Bi's legs were not very good, Zhao Xu asked Fu Bi's sedan chair to carry it to the entrance of the main hall, and then asked his son Fu Shaoting to help him in, and ordered not to worship, just sit and talk.

Zhao Xu asked about the way to govern the country.

Fu Bi replied: "It is best not to let people see the likes and dislikes of a man. If you can see, the traitor will understand his intentions. Your Majesty should learn from the heavens. Good and evil are taken by oneself. Your Majesty will follow him according to his performance, and he will be punished and rewarded according to his performance, and he will be rewarded and punished indecent."

"Hey, rich man, what you said is really similar to the other one."

"One?"

"Another person also said that the superiors love each other and the subordinates are happy. Therefore, the King of Chu is flirting with his waist and starving to death in the palace. Many ministers of the Sui Dynasty flatter Emperor Yang of Sui, but they are known for their integrity. The most difficult thing for the country now is finance, but he advised me not to be impatient, and not to put joy, anger, sorrow and happiness on my face. Otherwise, in order to cater to me, the officials below will harsh the people and make money the achievements, which will harm many people."

"Who is this person? God sees it pitiful. How can I, the Song Dynasty, lack talents?" Comrade Lao Fu stood up excitedly.

"He is in charge of Zheng Baiqu and is on the canal worker."

Fu Bi sat down again.

That boy...

He didn't know what to say.

Zhao Xu asked about border affairs again, and Fu Bi replied: "Your Majesty has not been here for a long time. He was the first to promote the deceased world. He did not speak of military force for twenty years. It is even more important to reward border merits. If you fight and fight, the misfortunes and blessings will be unknown."

Zhao Xu didn't know what to say, so he asked again: "What is the first priority in governing the country?"

"The peace within the country comes first."

Fu Bi means, Emperor, if you want to cure the country, you cannot fight, and you cannot fight for at least twenty years. Without military waste, the national finance will improve.

If Wang Ju cannot promote history, this conversation will be very famous.

Without war, the country will not be so urgent to make money, and Wang Anshi will not "harm" to the country. Therefore, the way to govern the country must be based on harmony.

A very familiar conversation is exactly what Sima Guang meant. I am not against using military force, but if I want to use military force, the country must achieve four modernizations before using military force.

Key question 1. Can the modernization of these four modernizations be achieved? In actual history, the rule of Wenjing, Han Xuan, and the rule of Xianping of Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty were almost the peak of internal governance in the feudal era. However, there are still problems of this and that. For example, if there is no problem with the rule of Wenjing, then the rebellion of the Seven Kings?

The result of productivity decisions!

In fact, these small-scale internal governance, by conscience, have surpassed the so-called American imperial governance or other well-off society. They have nothing to do with feudalism, their height is so high!

However, you have to think about the output of a mu of land is only two stones. A dou of grain is transported to the Shaanxi front line, and it costs 400 cents of freight. How can Sima Guang achieve the great rule of Datong?

Therefore, there is only one conclusion, let’s be harmonious for the rest of your life!

There is another example. Song Renzong did not use troops for 42 years, so of course he used troops, but he did not use troops with Liao. After the Qingli and Song-Xia War, there was almost no major military use except after the Nong Zhigao Rebellion. What was the result? Did the country really become rich and strong? It was indeed rich, but was it strong?

Question 2: Even if the Song Dynasty wanted peace, such as Song Yingzong, although he strictly said that he was a militant, he finally chose Gouhe, open up the trade and give him a new gift, but what was the result? This is a frontier city, otherwise Qingzhou would be in danger.

In this way, the Xishi City north of the ancient Weicheng was not uncomfortable in the Song Dynasty?

So Wang Ju gave a reasonable answer.

The first is the problem of arrears. There are three types of local owings, one kind of loans from the rich, which has been available very early. For example, when the great scholar Wang Yuxi was appointed as the magistrate of Changzhou, the second northern expedition of the Song Dynasty began. In order to raise military expenses, he levyed heavy taxes. Wang Yuxi borrowed money from the rich and survived this difficulty. There are many similar cases, such as Zhao Zhen borrowed 200,000 guan from Li Yuanwai of Chang'an. Some of them were repaid, and those who had not been repaid, and later they were granted a rank of officials, which was considered to be repaid.

Fan Zhongyan doesn’t want to sell his official position, he’s forced.

Especially in the first and second year of Zhiping, there was a major flood in the country and the court had no money to provide relief, so officials from all over the country had to borrow a large amount of debt. What was bad is that these debts were not standardized. Anyway, they were short checks, and whether they were paid back in the future depends on the situation. Therefore, they often borrowed money and could write short checks of three or four cents, which undoubtedly increased the amount of accumulated owes.

The second type is the accumulation of debt caused by buying and buying.

The second type is to collect taxes in advance.

Therefore, it is the most urgent task to rectify the finances. We cannot say that this accumulation is not repaid, but must be repaid. Start with the early collection of taxes. Most of these people are poor people. One liter of rice will lead to a living, and one liter of rice will starve people to death. In other words, if the government officials accumulate taxes, they will be caught in prison and forced into taxes.

The second is the accumulation of debts caused by buying and buying, because there are many small and medium-sized businessmen among these people, and their families are not in good condition.

As for the group behind, it depends on the situation. At least they will not ask the court for interest.

This is the first thing you do if you have a fiscal surplus in the future.

The second thing is to use troops in moderation.

What is moderate use of troops? For example, if you don’t use troops last year? Although Wang Ju agreed to accept Suizhou, this is also more difficult for the Xixia side, otherwise it would not be accepted. Because of the rise of war, with the pitiful finances of the Song Dynasty last year and the large number of disaster victims, it would be very dangerous.

But in the future, the finances can be slowed down and the troops can be used moderately, and at least some self-defense counterattacks can be carried out on the border. Otherwise, the Song Dynasty will slide to another terrible edge and become weak!

This is the most rational answer.

What is Fu Bi's answer? He doesn't even reward soldiers for making meritorious service, and doesn't talk about soldiers, and waits for beating? If that happens, it won't take twenty years. I'm afraid that in ten years, Shaanxi will no longer be the Shaanxi of the Song Dynasty!

So Zhao Xu was not very satisfied with this meeting. So he stayed a little and asked Fu Bi to go to Ruzhou.

Therefore, Zhao Xu found his new teacher Wang Anshi.

Fu Bi was not satisfied with the answer. See if Wang Anshi has a good answer, and asked about treatment techniques again.

Wang Anshi replied: "Choose the skills first."

If you can understand this, you must have specific methods if you don’t talk about the big principles.

Zhao Xu pondered for a moment and asked again: "How is Emperor Taizong of Tang?"

"Your Majesty should do the method of Yao and Shun, why should you take Emperor Taizong of Tang as an example? The way of Yao and Shun is simple but not troublesome, the most important but not round, and the most easy but not difficult. But scholars in the past do not know it, and think it is too high." Zhao Xu was a little thunder and said for a long time: "You can blame you for yourselves."

Let’s have some practical things. If you can be a Emperor Taizong of Tang, you will be very satisfied. Emperor Taizong of Tang is not good enough, so you have to ask Yao and Shun. Aren’t you making things difficult for me? After most of the day, I asked: “The ancestors will be able to defend the world and not have any major changes for a hundred years and achieve peace in a rough way. What is the way?”

This time, Wang Anshi finally answered some.

But he didn't answer much. Why? He just came to the capital and was a little confused about the situation. He was having a good relationship with Han Wei, Han Jiang and Lu Gong, hoping that they would promote themselves to the top.

Therefore, the next day, Zhao Xu said to Wang Anshi again: "I read your memorial yesterday and all the articles were lost. You must have painted them one by one. I will explain the plan for the installation for me in detail."

Wang Anshi said: "It is not perfect to make a quick list of numbers. I still hope that Your Majesty will take teaching as a matter of teaching. Once the teaching is clear, the way of providing facilities will be explained without saying anything."

OK, then you just think about it slowly.

In fact, Zhao Xu was really wrong. Wang Anshi was not thinking slowly, he was still waiting for the opportunity. Now is not the time to talk! His qualifications and official positions are not enough!

But in Zhao Xu's mind, Wang Juyi was actually serious.

For example, Xixia.

Everyone was very worried. This must have angered Xixia and fought together. How is the current financial situation of the Song Dynasty? What is the factual result? Guo Kui went to Yanzhou and changed Lu Shi's approach. He directly investigated who was the one who killed Yang Ding in Xixia. He found out that Li Chonggui and Han Daoxi. Then he moved to Xixia. No, you two Xixia killed my Song officials and must hand them over.

As a result, Xixia sent Xue Zongdao to bring these two people to the capital and asked the Song Dynasty to enthrone Li Bingchang. Didn’t we ask for someone? We handed over someone. But there was one thing that we killed Yang Ding for a reason, so Xue Zongdao told him about Yang Ding’s ugly behavior as an envoy.

Without this handle, how can we coerce him to go to the border to discuss? He took a large amount of money from our Xixia, but he did not kill him in person or behind his back.

Zhao Xu hugged his head. Is this the brave minister Yang Ding I appreciate?

Forget it, just kill it, and Xixia no longer asks for Suizhou, so the ceremony was performed.

After all, the Song Dynasty still did not have sufficient finances to get into evil with the Western Xia at this time.

In fact, this exposed a problem. The situation in Xixia is not good now. Therefore, the Song Dynasty cut off its annual gifts and traded with each other. The people of Xixia were stunned. Only then did they unwilling to accept that the Song Dynasty occupied Suizhou.

As Wang Ju expected!

But the matter did not end. On the west side of Qinzhou is the Xihe area, which is actually the Weizhou area of ​​the Tang Dynasty. Later, Tubo expanded and Weizhou fell, so the Tang Dynasty renamed Pingliang to Weizhou, which later Weizhou was Weizhou of the Song Dynasty. The original Weizhou became the ancient Weizhou.

The Song Dynasty was abusive. Since the failure of the two Northern Expeditions, the Song Dynasty's policies have turned to restraint and were not interested in opening the borders.

Tubo was not very honest at first, but was frustrated by Cao Wei. In addition, the expansion of Western Xia, and forced by Western Xia, the Song Dynasty and Tubo formed a loose alliance. Therefore, the division of the western boundary of Qinzhou was very vague. Those who expressed their sincerity to the Song Dynasty were called Shufan, and those who did not submit were called Shengfan, but they were not forced to Shengfan. As long as everyone did not cause trouble, it would be fine.

Therefore, during the Qingli War, Qin Fenglu had little influence.

However, after Jiao Silu was old and handed over the state affairs to Dong Zheng for handling, the situation changed. First, Yu Zang Huama surrendered to Xixia. So Li Liangzuo raised troops to attack Dong Zheng and stationed in the ancient Weizhou City. His familiar households asked Zhang Fangping for help. Zhang Fangping was accused of defending the city. He had all registered horses in various counties and sent troops to guard the city. Sima Guang advised that Zhang Fangping was cowardly and lightly, so he asked for exile. Therefore, Zhao Xu was influenced by Wang Ju and said that he said that he was in the hall. It would be better to fight, and it would be better to fight. How do you ask the border ministers to do things! Anyway, the horizontal can be used to pick out the thorns. The vertical can be used to pick out the thorns!

Later, Dong Zheng defeated Li Liangzuo, and the ancient Weicheng returned to the hands of the Tubo people, but Dong Zheng's base camp was in Huangzhou. He had no intention of operating the place, and the Song Dynasty could not help him. The Tubo people wanted it, but we, the Song Dynasty, wanted it again. The Xixia people occupied the ancient Weicheng and then went south, which was Taozhou and Minzhou. That was very bad... The war broke into Sichuan, and the Southern Silk Road was also interrupted, so he had to send troops to defend. In other words, the ancient Weicheng now returned to the embrace of the Song Dynasty.

However, what the Song Dynasty got was the ancient Weicheng. But the north was all the territory of Yu Zang Huama.

The people of Xixia joined forces with Yu Zanghuama to capture Shufan from hundreds of miles northwest of Qinzhou and become open space.

When the Song Dynasty asked, the people of Xixia replied that it has nothing to do with our Xixia. If you have the ability, you can fight.

Really nothing to do?

Therefore, due to this situation and the weak national strength of Xixia, Ma Zhongfu, the magistrate of Qinzhou, saw this situation, wrote a letter to Han Qi, building a dangerous fort on the bank of the Sandu River in the north of ancient Weicheng. It was named Qiyanghu City and formed a joint defense effect with the Guwei Fort. In the future, Xixia would not be able to penetrate deep into the Qinzhou area and plunder. It could also protect the arable land, fill the army and save grain transportation.

Han Qi sent someone to observe carefully, thinking it was a good strategy.

However, considering the situation of the court's reconciliation, he first asked Li Li, an internal official in Qinzhou, to write that Qinfeng's road was robbed by Westerners, and the Western foreign households lost their barriers. In the past, Guo Kui had built a peace and two villages in the Deshun army, and had many of the lands of the familiar households. If one or two places of the shoucheng were built, it would be connected with the ancient Weicheng and would become a defensive force.

The Privy Council replied that the city of Fengshou is the land of the mature households in Qinzhou. In the future, one or two places will be placed to connect with the ancient Wei. It is necessary to add troops and horses to plan to store food and grass. It will also become a disaster for the ancient Wei City and increase innocent expenses. Moreover, the Western Fan originally had to be a barrier of the Han Dynasty. If a city was built with a city and a familiar household was to defend itself, it would be known that the familiar households could not defend themselves and that the Han army would be registered. If a bandit arrived, the Han army would be the leader and the familiar households would be covered. If the Han army had spare strength, it would be possible, but it was empty inside and outside, which was not a good plan for today. There were ministers who requested it before and after, but because it was not implemented, please discuss it carefully to hear it.

To put it bluntly, the only ones who suffer are the foreigners, which are not worth building a city to defend.

Han Qi had no choice but to take the horse personally and wrote a long memorial, more than a thousand words, saying that the Han Dynasty launched a plan to control the Huns, and they were worried that the Qiangs in the west were connected, so they listed Hebei counties, which was called the breaking of the Huns' right arm. Our dynasty took a temporary plan and abandoned Lanzhou. Because of the loss of the power of the cut off the arm, the Deming Dynasty was able to devour the Xifan and reach Gan, Liang, Gua, and sacred the counties. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, he finally usurped the trumpet and attacked the Qin and Weifans. Recently, the Xia people renovated the Xishi city and built it as a Baotai army, which was only 120 miles away from the Wei fort - this was unprecedented. Therefore, those who had been experiencing border affairs in the west for a long time all said that the city was squid and the city was squid and formed a Jichuan, and the ancient Weifans were connected to the outside world, and isolated the Xia people's problems of devouring Qin and Weifans, blind medicines, wood battles, and Qingtang tribes. Small ones could force Yuzhong to the north, and large ones could go to Taohuang.

etc.
