"Old Miao, I don't know why these little guys are used by you," Wang Junwan said with a sip of soju.

The strong aroma of wine immediately exudes the intoxicating spring atmosphere.

Miao Shu was a little unhappy. This was a soju that was specially used for healing soldiers, rather than the drinking soju that was sold on the market. Wang Junwan also made a mistake. Although the mistake was very small, he then looked at the soldiers in the afterglow of the sunset, with a hint of joy and sorrow.

Tens of thousands of Poche troops are training.

Perhaps it was because Zhang Qi followed Wang Ju's plan and achieved great success, or Zhao Xu himself attached great importance to the Poche Army. The tens of thousands of Poche Army were successful and turned into a powerful army. Only then could he have reason to implement the remaining elite military plan for the layoffs planned by Wang Ju. At that time, military spending could be further saved.

Therefore, the court allocated 10,000 divine arm bows and 20,000 sets of armor to Zheng Baiqu and the Pochet army.

First of all, the weapons were casting very early. As soon as Wang Ju arrived in the capital, Zhao Xu issued an edict to ask the Shaanxi Transporter to embezzle the tax on Shaanxi Road, first cast weapons for the Poche in Zhuying, and then pay the three departments through the warehouse. In fact, it was like cotton from the previous year and sugar last year. However, the sugar sugar workshop was not from the warehouse, and the warehouse only accounted for half of the shares, but who would care. But because of this, no one cares about Wang Ju's business. Anyway, Wang Ju basically handed over these incomes to the court, so what else to say.

There is no doubt about the quality of this weapon. First, the attention of the above, Zhang Yu came to ask from time to time. Moreover, Miao Shu led the hand and Miao Shu did not doubt about it. Finally, the soldiers took turns to work handymen. You should know that all these weapons were used by them, not to others. They were supervising themselves. The country gave them so much benefits. Even with the support of Wang Ju, they continued to buy many plowing oxen last year, and the situation in the northwest has been not peaceful. Don’t think that they will go to the battlefield sooner or later. Can you not care about the quality of the weapons?

Therefore, at this time, the weapons in each person's hands were almost equipped, and some of them were missing, and they were waiting for the Divine Arm Bow.

The Divine Arm Bow has only been given 4,000 now, and the production is a bit slow. The cost is also large, and it is also difficult to collect materials. The military weapon supervision must have produced more than 4,000, but a part of it was allocated to Yanzhou and Qinzhou, but it was mainly Qinzhou, because Wang Shao of Qinzhou was going to open the border. At the same time, Wang Shao also recruited some stable archers and had a large number of farmland. In Zhao Xu's idea, it would be the second official Poche border gathering place. Yanzhou was because of the Suide Army.

However, Yanzhou has various shortcomings. First of all, the injunction is a system of garrisons. It is equipment. I don’t know where the garrisons will go next year. The foreign soldiers and courts still have some fears. There are also Poche Army. However, these Poche Army cannot gather and are relatively loose. It is more difficult for a Poche Army to gather. Of course, Zhao Xu also had some ideas, that is, the military farms in Dasanchuankou of Suide Army and the camps in Qingjian City. However, the number is limited, so he had to be transferred according to the Qingzhong.

In fact, this was also luck. With the income from Kapok, Xixia launched another attack, and the court allocated a considerable amount of money to the military weapon supervisor. Otherwise, without money, no matter how capable Wang Ju had, he would not be able to make weapons and armor.

There are nearly 10,000 sets of armor.

The remaining armor also has to wait. Not only the armor, but also the arrows dedicated to the Divine Arm Bow. At present, only ten were given to each person. However, when they arrived at the actual battlefield, each person would have to be equipped with at least fifty pieces. This would also have to wait.

As for the remaining ones who are not equipped with armor, there is nothing to do, even if the forbidden soldiers are only cloth armor, paper armor and leather armor.

The other 60% of the armor may have nearly half of them not qualified, and the ones that are qualified are also the heavy old-style armor.

Therefore, the arrival of these armor made Miao Jue overjoyed.

So he discussed with Wang Junwan and others, and deliberately went to Chang'an to discuss with Zhang Yue, which was a practical exercise.

First, for the terrain, the terrain and climatic factors were extremely important in the war. For example, the Yuan and Mongolian army were almost invincible on the plains, but when they arrived in the sea and tropical rainforest areas, they immediately started to eat.

The climate problem is not big. It is the Xixia people. The climate is similar, but the terrain is not good. Zhengbaiqu is mostly flat in Guanzhong and has hills, but it is far from the border area and has dense mountain tombs.

The second is practical practice.

When the spring farming production came, several generals summoned all Poches and divided them into two armies. Miao Shu and Wang Junwan led one army each. The arrows were removed from the tip of the arrow, but the knife did not open the edge. The guns were removed from the tip of the gun, and the tips were dipped in red ink. The hit was considered a casualty and the exit from the battlefield, and then pulled them to the mountains to fight in actual combat.

The two Miao and Wang did not disclose their combat plans to each other. After practicing this, they not only trained the army, but also trained the scouts, carrying food and grass, and command abilities of the generals.

Of course, there are some soldiers who were injured, but now they are only injured, and the future will be directly related to life and death.

This is also Wang Ju's idea. Wang Ju said before he left, but he didn't say much, including their attitude towards Zhang Yu, which was also Wang Ju's instructions.

After more than ten days of training, the Poche Army gradually became very beautiful.

That's why Wang Junwan said this.

A strong army is only part of the victory of the war. There are many factors that determine the victory of the war, such as the weather and terrain, whether the people support the resistance at that time, whether the rear is diligent, whether the national finances are healthy, whether the people's hearts are aimed at, whether there are any powerful ministers in the rear, and an important factor, the ability of the commander.

If Wang Ju comes to command, everyone will be overjoyed.

If Ge Huaimin was replaced by command, even if Han Qi was replaced by command, would it be possible to defeat the enemy with this powerful army? If it is undefeated, it is almost all infantry, what does that mean? It is destroyed!

Not only will the entire army be wiped out, they may also follow the footsteps of brave generals such as Wang Gui and Guo Zun.

"I don't think so, Wang Minggong is still in the court." Yao Lin said.

If the imperial court sent mediocre talents to command, would Wang Juhui agree? You should know that these tens of thousands of Poche troops also gathered Wang Ju for several years of hard work.

Wang Junwan said: "Even so, Wang Minggong's official position is too low and he has no right to speak."

It cannot be said that although Wang Ju has a low official position, he is trusted by Zhao Xu and has military talents. At least he still has a great say in this.

What exactly, God knows?

…………

What does God know?

It is possible that this history is just a wave in the long river of time, but it is really important.

For example, Zhu Wuzhang's policy. Is Zhu Yuanzhang bad? His ability is not worse than that of Taizu. Or is it wrong to kill corrupt officials? In fact, it also borrowed from the shortcomings of the Song Dynasty. The scholars and officials of the Song Dynasty were not satisfied with such high salaries, and everyone was selfish. So why use so many people's wealth to support this group of greedy officials? Therefore, the salary is low, so the number of corrupt officials is killed.

The long river of time has passed by hundreds of years, which also proves that Zhu Yuanzhang's policies were misunderstood, but internal struggles became even more serious in the Ming Dynasty.

Think about the majesty of the Han and Tang dynasties, and think about the subsequent history of being strong internally and being weak externally. It can be a pity that people can't sigh. The actual starting point is in these few years.

The spring of the third year of Xining was the starting point of this change.

Spring is here, the peach blossoms are not yet blooming, and the peach trees are still bare, but the brown branches are bright and bright, making people feel that warmth is coming.

Although the Wang House is not small, it is mainly housed and the green space is very small, so the few peach trees on the windows have become the biggest highlight of the Wang Ju family.

Wang Ju asked Qiong Niang to make tea, then looked at the two people in front of him, one was Zhang Dun and the other was a newcomer, Zeng Bu.

Spring is here. The opportunity that some people are waiting for has also come.

The Qingmiao method, therefore, is called "I will pay for loans in spring and collect money in autumn.

However, the Qingmiao loan that Wang Anshi prepared to raise was 17 million guan, which was not much compared to the economy of the Song Dynasty. However, the reason for the Qingmiao Law was that it was aimed at the rural areas and the landlords gave usury loans to the people, that is, the target was poor farmers.

Think about it, how many economies can farmers in a wealthy country account for?

If the original target was the Fourth Northern Road, then the Qingmiao loan would be issued with more than 4 million yuan. This number may not be clear. You can also convert it. Most people in the north use wheat and millet as their main food. A dou of wheat is only 30 cents, and a dou of millet is only 10 cents. If it is exchanged for wheat, nearly 600 million dou of wheat and 1.7 billion dou of millet are distributed.

I plan to pay 50 million households in the fourth lunar month. Then, all households will lend twelve douches of wheat, and more than thirty douches of millet. The internal governance of the Song Dynasty is OK. Can we give so many Qingmiao loans? Or to make another metaphor, the two taxes in the entire Song Dynasty were only more than 500 million, and the middle ones were more than 400 million. Sometimes the disaster was too great, and there were more than 300 million. Let’s look at the number of Qingmiao loans converted into wheat and millet!

What should I do if I can’t put it down? So I put it in the city and in the south.

Well, what Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing promised not to levy, not to expand, and to break through together without attacking.

Besides, there is no harvest from Qingmiaodai itself now, but at its peak, the net income reached more than 4 million guan, which is the government's operation, with net income of more than 4 million guan, and the gross income may be eight million guan.

Eight million guan, if calculated based on the value of RMB in the 1920s, it will reach at least 4 billion RMB. According to the population of the Song Dynasty at this time, each person will be given more than 30 yuan. Please don’t forget that this was in the Song Dynasty, a backward era, and the total tax of all countries in the world may be only 200 million RMB. And unlike banks, banks are targeted by merchants and entrepreneurs, and they are targeted by ordinary people.

However, why didn’t Wang Ju introduce more advanced banking measures? Just ask one question, what about currency? Does the establishment of a bank also use fabric as currency?

Therefore, with the arrival of spring, the problems caused by the Qingmiao Method are becoming more and more common.

Here comes!

There are so many loopholes, and since last year, under the publicity of Sima Guang and others, the reform and Lu Huiqing have been vilified. How can I not come?

First, Fan Zhen wrote a letter to Changping Warehouses that Changping Warehouses started when the Han Dynasty was in the prime of Han Dynasty. If the lowly ones were expensive, they would be expensive and they would be restrained. If the high is expensive, they would be cheap and they would be dispersed. This is the purpose of Changping Warehouses. If the lowly grain, the state will pay money to purchase food, increase the price of grain, and increase farmers' income. If the high grain, the Changping Warehouses will be sold, regulate the price of grain, and suppress the hoarding of profiteers. On the surface, it is correct, but in fact, Mr. Fan, have you seen the loss of grain storage? However, it is these plausible remarks that are quite confusing.

Then Fan Zhen said that Qingmiao was suddenly in the decline and chaos of the Tang Dynasty. Miaomiao was in the field. The money was estimated to be straight, but it had not been settled, and it was necessary to pay it. This is the method of Thieves. Now the method of Thieves is changed to Tang Dynasty, and Yu is not easy to change. This is why people are uneasy. Then the sky rains, the hair grows in the ground, and the sky sings and the earth is cracked, which are all the signs of the people's hard work. Your Majesty observes the changes in the heaven and earth and stops the actions of Qingmiao.

Youzhengyan Li Chang and Sun Jue continued to write a letter. At first, Qingmiao Method said that it was two-part profit, but only tried several roads in Hebei and Shaanxi, and could not suppress the matching. However, the promotion of officials was a result of dispersing more. Including the capital, it became three-part profit. Then it forced the matching. Regardless of whether the Qingmiao loan was needed, the first-class household was given fifteen stakes, the second-class household was given ten stakes, the third-class household was given five stakes, the fourth-class household was given five stakes, and the fifth-class were given one stake. The people were noisy, and Wang Guanglian and others were called the people to be happy and cheered and praised the sacred virtues.

This is indeed a fact, so isn't it good to take it seriously? Soon Li Ding came and he said it was good, but it is the same fact. What is the reason?

Therefore, Zhao Xu issued an edict to the people who were always peaceful and the Guanghui Cang gave Qingmiao money. It was originally intended to be beneficial to the poor and to be willing to the people. Now he was worried that the officials did not understand this intention. He followed the call and all the calls and suppressed them, which led to the harassment of the prison officials. He ordered the criminal prison officials to be aware of the size of the violators. Violators are prohibited from being famous and famous. Those who dare to stop asking for help will be punished the case.

When the edict arrived at the Secretariat, Zeng Gongliang and Chen Shengzhi felt something was wrong, so they took the edict and removed the last sentence.

Why do we need to cut it? Since the Qingmiao method has been implemented, it is impossible not to suppress it, unless the law is not changed and the money is not made.

I can only say that the edict warns that officials in various places should not do too much.

Then to Zhang Fangping.

Zhang Fangping ended his sorrow and returned to the court. He cited the two ministers as usual, and Zhang Fangping immediately praised Li Dalin and Su Dongpo.

Li Dalin and Zhang Fangping had little relationship, but they were both the Kaifeng Prefecture Promotion Office, and the relationship between Su father and son and Zhang Fangping was too deep. Because of Su Dongpo, Zhang Fangping recommended Li Dalin. Su Dongpo himself is now in a mess. Li Dalin has been favored by Wen Yanbo. Zhang Fangping has been somewhat affected by the relationship with these two people, and Wang Anshi's reforms have indeed suffered a lot of problems. Therefore, Zhang Fangping also wrote a letter to discuss the reforms, but he said it more implicitly.

This made Wang Anshi very unhappy.

Zhao Xu appointed Zhang Fangping as the Xuanhui envoy in the capital. The Xuanhui envoy was divided into two Xuanhui envoys in the North and South Courts, and they were not permanent. His status was almost the same as the Privy Councilor. He was an important position, but Zhang Fangping used to be a political affairs officer, and he was more than enough to serve as the Xuanhui envoy.

However, because Wang Anshi was unhappy, he said, "If this is the case, it will be even more said. I wonder if Your Majesty uses this to honor his merits and good deeds, but he is sympathetic to his qualifications?"

Zhao Xu was hard to say. If it weren't for Zhang Fangping, how could I get Han Qi down? I had to say: "But I have no worries about his qualifications."

OK! Wang Anshi immediately said: "Wang Ping is treacherous and evil, no one knows. I am afraid that this will not be able to help the sage. It is inconvenient for Your Majesty to keep Fang Ping. Fang Ping is the chief censor and is affiliated with Jia Chang's disciples. He mistakenly rewarded and punished Renzong a lot. Now he is left inside, so what can you do to make up for your Majesty? But let the evil people have even more sect leaders!"

Zhao Xu said nothing.

But the words came to Zhang Fangping's ears. Zhang Fangping was very loyal. He did not support Jia Changchao, but did not support Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi. The Qingli New Policy was purely nonsense. Therefore, he also realized that I should stay in Luoyang.

Then I wrote a book and talked about some bad Qingmiao method.

Then Hou Shuxian urged Lu Jing to raise the matter of Kaifeng Prefecture County, Lu Jing scattered the green melon money. Lu Jing said that the Kaifeng counties had their own troops and had no money to issue Qingmiao loans. So the Registration Department drew 500,000 guan from Shaanxi salt banknotes to make Qingmiao money, and asked Lu Jing to lend more than 200,000 guan of grain and 150,000 guan of green melon money. Lu Jing forced him to write a letter, and he would not be able to support the burden of so many green melon loans.

The truth of this incident is that Hou Shuxian is too ruthless. However, more than 20 counties in Kaifeng Prefecture really cannot issue Qingmiao loans, at least half of them can be paid.

Otherwise, the party struggles that came from would be bad in both aspects.

The one who is afraid of it was Han Qi's letter.

It is said that Wang Guanglian was the Transportation Commissioner of Hebei. Although the court issued an edict, he continued to borrow 1,300 for every thousand and ordered to pay 1,300 for every thousand, which was not what he said at the beginning to suppress the annexation and help the poor. He also said that every village must have material resources to protect the poor. Although the court said that it was not allowed to suppress the allocation, the upper household was unwilling to ask for the loan, and the lower household wanted to ask for the loan but could not, and it would be difficult to urge the loan to get it. Although the country's financial difficulties, as long as Your Majesty practices frugality to lead the world, there will naturally be no shortage of national use. Why do you have to make profits go out in a row?

Then Han Qi said again, Qingmiao loans are limited to farmers, so why are they placed in the city houses?

He is indeed the prime minister for ten years, so how reasonable it is.

However, the fact is how much property Han Qi has. Once the reforms are implemented, how much income will Han Qi lose?

Zhao Xu then reported this to the government of the two governments, saying: "Qi is loyal minister, even though he is outside, and he does not forget the royal family. I said that he is beneficial to the people, but he does not expect to harm the people. Besides, if Guo Fang is in the green seedlings, is it probably forcing him to do it!"
