Thanks to the leader of the lollipop seller for the reward. I don’t want to compete for this month, and it’s the Spring Festival again. However, everyone is enthusiastic, so I continue to compete for this month, so I ask for monthly tickets to support it, and the guarantee is 90 updates.

In addition, in order to thank Shu Zu, who sells lollipops, I will try to update the twenty chapters in these four days.

In order to repay everyone's support and love, work hard, Lao Wu!

===========

"What should I do?" Zhao Xu said in confusion.

"Your Majesty must remember two things. It is best to go with the flow, such as the layoffs. The national finances have not yet recovered, right?"

"What do you think?" Zhao Xu quickly wrinkled into a bitter face.

"Slowly," said Wang Ju. Don't slap this big bag and slap it moderately, otherwise you will die quickly without the defeat of the Xia and Yongle City! He said again: "Your Majesty, then Your Majesty will summon all the officials, the country's shortcomings, the redundant soldiers and officials are redundant in their affairs."

"Isn't it a redundant soldier, redundant official expenses?"

"This statement is inaccurate. In fact, redundant soldiers and officials are redundant expenses. Redundant government means officials are unclear responsibilities and shirking responsibility for each other. Just like Bao Zheng wrote a letter, during the Qingli War, a bucket of grain was transported to the front line, with a fee of 400 cents and a fee of 1,000 cents. Why is the difference so big? It is not necessarily that all of them are corrupted by clerks, and some are waste caused by officials' poor work and delays. The result of redundant government will inevitably lead to a large amount of waste and increase the cost of redundant expenses. Therefore, the expenses of our dynasty have never been seen since ancient times."

"Yes, more than 100 million yuan a year will be overwhelmed by that date, but it is really strange that I can still stand tall in the Song Dynasty." Zhao Xu shook his head and said.

"Your Majesty can use this to ask, but it must be targeted. For example, if you want to reduce your grace, you will use the number of officials and expenses to oppress the ministers and make a statement, follow the trend, and execute the world. The other is the exchange of interests. For example, Your Majesty has done a good job in Han Gong."

In fact, Zhao Xu may feel suffocated, but he calmly let Han Qi go down without causing a commotion in the court. This is the flower stamen of the exchange of interests.

This is politics.

Can idealistic politics like Fan Zhongyan play with Fan Zhongyan in his early years be able to play with it?

Then no thick black science has emerged.

"Why don't you use the saint's words?"

"Well, I told my mentor when I was young. I used scriptures to carry the way, and the ultimate search was the way, not the sutra. Is it important for me to lead the words of the saints? There is no saints in the West, and the people are not as hardworking and wise as the people of our dynasty, but there are also some great countries."

"You are not talking about the West..."

"It is not as great as our dynasty. Many cities are dirty, but your Majesty have you ever imagined. Their geographical locations are all places of war, and wars are endless, just like the Hezhong area west of the Palacio Mountains. In that case, how can the country develop smoothly. In this way, I wrote a letter to ask Ge Shaohua to ask Haike to bring some scholars from the Daqin side, as well as books, to let them come to our dynasty, and then let these scholars translate their books?"

"This is OK."

Are you coming to pay tribute to all directions? Every king is happy.

Of course, it seems that it is just a trivial matter in Zhao Xu's mind.

Wang Ju continued: "What I want to say is also a way. The way to govern the country is as long as you say this way. Is it really important to use the words of a saint?"

But Wang Ju also misunderstood that what Zhao Xu said was not only the words of a saint, but also the stories. Stories are things done by a famous person, and later became a reference convention. This is called a story.

For example, a few months ago, the ministers expressed their respected titles as Emperor Xian, Yuan, and Emperor Wen, and the civil and military, benevolent and filial, but Zhao Xu ordered them not to be allowed.

What are all things? I have such a hard life, so why are there any civil, military, benevolent and filial piety? But the ministers were not happy. So, in the first and second, the second and third, Sima Guang said: "The etiquette of honoring titles is not the order of the previous kings, which did not exist before. Instead, it started in the era of Zhongzong, the emperor was later named Zhongzong. In the last year, some people said that the country and the Khitan exchanged letters, and they had a title but I did not, so they thought it was a great shame, so the ministers asked the late emperor to honor the title. However, during the reign of Emperor Wen of Han, the Huns claimed that the sun and moon were born in heaven and earth, and Emperor Wen of Han did not add the title. I hope that Your Majesty would follow the intention of the late emperor and not accept this title."

Zhao Xu was very happy.

This is also a story of the saint, the story of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty.

However, Wang Ju told so many "story". Although he misunderstood, Zhao Xu did not remind him and asked again: "Why are you distracted?"

"Your Majesty cannot compare with me. My pressure is less. First, the clan relatives and friends who are associated with me are all powerless people. Even if they have money, they are just small merchants in the border areas and are not very involved. Besides, I have some methods to make them pay back, easy to satisfy, and rewards when they give. Therefore, they support and cooperate with me. They will not become burdens for me and burdens for the country. On the contrary, they will help me and the country."

"This is also your teaching."

"It's okay, who told the two late emperors and Your Majesty to treat me like this? How can I not repay me?" Wang Ju said unfairly.

"hehe."

"Let me talk about my wife, she is relatively simple, so my family is not complicated. Then I say that I am a man of myself, sometimes I have bad tempers and have selfish intentions. For example, Fan Wenzheng, I can't learn it."

"You are learning Lu Yijian." Zhao Xu joked.

"I want to learn, but my skills are good at it. I am afraid I can't learn it anymore. However, although I have selfish intentions, Your Majesty respects me too much. Therefore, I suppressed my selfish intentions, so I am not a gentleman, but I am conscientiously doing some practical things for Your Majesty and the Song Dynasty."

“This is rare.”

"At least I am stronger than Sima Guang."

"You, after the matter is over, don't hold grudges anymore." Zhao Xu said in a silence.

Wang Ju thought to himself, I don’t hold grudges, the key Sima Guang will hold grudges, this is the problem.

But today Wang Ju took out seven points of his heart, otherwise he would not have expressed so many interests. Of course, it would be impossible to let him take out ten points of his heart.

Even if there is no eunuch in the record, he cannot say that the so-called politics is just a game of making profits transactions, but smart people will play in this game to make the direction of the game beneficial to their own side. For example, Liu Bang dealt with Xiang Yu and won over Han Xin. Xiang Yu went down and immediately suppressed Han Xin. For example, Wu Zetian, in order to be the queen, used Shandong wealthy family Cui Zheng Li Lu and cruel officials to suppress Guanlong wealthy families and Li Tang royal families.

But just what Zhao Xu said would be very helpful if he understood it thoroughly.

In short, seeing Zhao Xu's pitiful appearance, Wang Ju rarely opened his heart.

After dinner, Wang Ju left the palace and Zhao Xu was sent to the gate of the palace.

In fact, Zhao Xu is still a rebellious age group. When he sees Wang Ju, his rebellious sentiment becomes more intense. Why, he has this talent and credit and has entered a higher level to play a role. But because of his age and qualifications, he cannot be transferred to an official position.

Can he not be depressed?

Wang Ju returned to the inn, and the postman said, "Doctor Wang, there are two people looking for you outside."

As he said that, he handed him a message.

Wang Ju took it and saw that it was Lu Huiqing and Zhang Dun. But these two people may have experienced but their fame is far less than Wang Ju, so the postman didn't know much.

The two of them were waiting for each other in the teahouse outside.

Wang Ju scratched his head, thought for a while, and finally went to the teahouse.

"I have met Brother Ji Fu and Brother Zihou."

"I dare not, I have met Zi'an," the two of them were very polite. Especially Lu Huiqing. He knew Wang Ju's status in Zhao Xu's heart.

Three people sat down.

Lu Huiqing said: "The court is preparing to build a kapok sect. Do you know if Zi?"

"I understand. I just met the official family. The official family also talked about this."

"What do you think of Zi'anke?" Zhang Dun asked. The first time they met, but they were not considered outsiders. One was the bamboo paper incident, which made Zhang Dun suffer a lot, but that also became an elegant conversation, which was harmless. The second was the relationship between Wang Ju and Zhang Yue.

"I have no objection, I agree. After all, the country's finances are tight, and the popularity of kapok is also a good thing for the people to keep warm."

"The imperial court set up the Kapok Division. It was Zihou who presided over the leadership."

"So..." Wang Ju murmured, why did Zhang Dun preside over the charge? First, he was afraid that he and Zhang Min told this in the letter. Zhang Dun was not a quiet master. He might have mentioned it in a letter, and even proposed to promote the Kapok Division. Secondly, he is from Fujian, an official from the south, and the people who are relocated are the people of Fujian. Third, when Wang Anshi learned about it, they met Zhang Dun, and the two had a different opinion and hit it off. So Wang Anshi recommended Zhang Dun to preside over the Cotton Affairs Division, and the two also got together, including the edict prohibiting the people of Fujian Road from drowning their second and third children.

Sima Guang said that the southerners were cunning.

It cannot be said that there is no reason, especially the people from Fujian. In order to survive, they have really tried their best, such as sailing, such as lychee trunks, such as migrants. In the future, 80% of the Han people in the treasure island will be descendants of the people of Fujian, and such as Japanese pirates...

Good and bad ones come together.

But through these good and bad things, there is this cunning behind it. It is still Wang Ju's words. There is no difference between good and bad in itself. If the Ming Dynasty cannot stop the sea, or only the official sea, just like the Song Dynasty, will there be any harm from Japanese pirates? It is also an overcorrection.

But what about the temptation? For example, if you develop Guangdong and Guangxi, or let them take the lead in large-scale migration overseas in the future? Although you don’t expect that you will still be the same country in the future, you are surrounded by Han people. When you really face the ghosts, you don’t help the Han people, but instead help the ghosts? That’s too far, and you can only say that you can find a way out for the pressure of the huge population. In fact, there is no need to be many. When Wang Ju was fifty, his population may have expanded to 18 million households.

No matter what, the internal governance of the Song Dynasty was indeed a miracle.

If several grains on the other side could be brought in advance, and some ills were corrected, and people would not be moved out of the sea, Wang Ju could even suspect that the population of the Song Dynasty would expand to 250,000 households in forty years!

If you play like Uncle Second, you can expand to 50 million households!

Of course, if we really reach 50 million households, something big will happen, even if there are miscellaneous grains, it will happen. At that time, it was not people who eat the land, but people who eat people!

"So what?"

"Brother Jifu, nothing, keep talking."

My uncle served tea and brought some fruits.

Zhang Dun waved his hand and asked his uncle to retreat, asking, "Zi'an, what can I teach me?"

The main thing was that he heard about this matter, and thought it was feasible, but not very clear. However, due to the needs of the season, the execution was already started. Zhang Dun wanted to make a contribution and was afraid of mistakes. Therefore, after hearing that Wang Ju entered the capital, he immediately came to see Wang Ju with Lu Huiqing, but he did not expect that Wang Ju would stay in the palace for so long. Of course, the longer the time, the more respect the two of them were. If they could talk to the emperor in the palace for so long, there were no ten ministers in the Song Dynasty who enjoyed this treatment!

"What do I have to teach? Brother Zihou has seen the memorial I wrote?"

"No," Zhang Dun shook his head. He is not yet a great hero to Ping Meishan, the North and North Rivers. How can he be qualified to see Wang Ju's memorial?

"Didn't the imperial court issue an edict?"

"What edict?"

"I ordered Lingnan officials to pay attention to not affecting the smooth flow of rivers when reclaiming fields, not occupying water storage lakes, and officials and generals are not allowed to recruit private soldiers and private citizens to plant kapok."

"This edict has been issued."

"Then just pay attention to one thing." Wang Ju said. (To be continued)
