What will happen next in Xixia?

Liang family is about to imprison Li Bingchang!

Therefore, the Song Dynasty thought it was a rare and great opportunity, and a large army invaded.

However, Wang Ju now said it was a false image, not a good time.

"Brother Han, you have not figured it out yet. Shu and Southern Tang were destroyed because of the incompetent monarchs and ministers, and they were happy day and night. The people were disappointed with them. They also had a long time to maintain peace and were not used to fighting. As for the Southern Han Dynasty, the king was even more tyrannical, and many people even wanted our army to move south as soon as possible. However, the Later Han Dynasty was different. Although Taizu attacked the Later Han Dynasty twice, the domestic political situation of the Later Han Dynasty was unstable, it was still kind to the people, and it was sandwiched between the Liao and Song dynasties, and the people were fierce, so the country's small and few people blocked our dynasty's three attacks."

"Zi'an, what you are talking about is the heart of the people."

"It is precisely the people's hearts and will. Being able to learn to fight is the foundation of the country. The same is true for Dali. The Gao family controls the government and even goes through many government orders. The country lacks cohesion and has not been large-scale wars for a long time. Although some tribes attack each other, can the battles of those dozens be compared with those of the army? So even without the Gao Yang Rebellion, I can also take Dali. It's just that because of the Gao Yang Rebellion, the price I pay for taking Dali would be smaller. Now the same is true for Xixia."

"However, the people in Xixia live very hard."

"The people of Xixia live in a difficult life. Can the people in the border areas not be difficult? If the people in the border areas have the living standards of the people in the second year of the victory in Qingzhou, there will be many people in the Western Xia who will flee to our court. Unfortunately, even Qingzhou has gradually retreated in recent years... Therefore, no matter how prosperous our dynasty is, the lives of the people in the Song Dynasty they see are similar to those of them. But our dynasty pays them every year, and undoubtedly invisibly cultivates self-confidence for them. Although the political situation in Xixia may change drastically, the people's hearts will not be lost. As long as the people's hearts are not lost, how can our dynasty succeed in the attack on Xia?"

"No wonder Zi'an let me manage Helan inkstone for many years."

"That is, only when the people are completely disappointed can the Xia Dynasty become easier."

"Xixia is not so powerful, right?" Zhang Quanzhi asked a little disbelief. If you don't say anything else, just talk about the Battle of Qingzhou. It seems that Xixia is just like that.

"What do you think? If we launch the shallow attack battle that I and Zhang Zhifu mentioned at the border, our dynasty will have an absolute advantage. If we go deep into the inner abdomen of Xixia and want to annihilate it in one fell swoop, it will be really difficult. Unless I and Zhang Zhifu join forces again, Your Majesty will provide us with more than 300,000 elite troops, including armor, food, various materials and money, and then do not interfere, and the whole country will cooperate to find a way to stabilize the Liao Kingdom. Then this coup may be successful."

But this is impossible.

First of all, Yunnan Road is still inseparable from Zhang Yu in the past two or three years. Without Zhang Yu, Wang Ju will lack the most important staff, and the possibility of destroying Xia will also be reduced.

Secondly, Zhao Xu wouldn't feel at ease either.

Think about it, if the 300,000 elite troops were handed over to Wang Ju, how many imprisoned soldiers could the Song Dynasty remain? Even if there were a large number of soldiers, most of them were trash troops with a huge combat power.

What if Wang Ju had the intention of being disobedient?

Wang Ju had no intention of rebelling, but how could Zhao Xu see through Wang Ju's heart?

Besides, Wang Ju still has so many political enemies, and three of them become tigers. After talking nonsense, will Zhao Xu be shaken?

The best example. Let’s look at the south. Wang Ju really did not use many imprisonments, only a few thousand imprisonments, and even when he conquered Dali, he retreated one after another. All the local soldiers conquered in the south. They were very powerful in the south, but once they arrived in the north, they would be useless.

However, even so, Zhao Xu was more or less relieved.

So shortly after completely taking over Dali, Wang Ju was recalled.

"Not good..." Han Yun finally reminisced.

If the court thought this was a great opportunity and the army attacked Xia, Wang Ju would have to go to the northwest. But it was impossible for Wang Ju to control all the troops, and he might have divided his troops. Wang Ju only took charge of the soldiers along the way, or was in charge of the overall situation, but there would be many people who would be constrained.

Just like in the court now, Lao Wang was good at Wang Ju, Cai Zhang was waiting and watching, and Lu Feng was a little dispelled. However, after the cancellation of the market and the change of laws, his impression of Wang Ju was also changed a lot.

Therefore, no matter how Sun Gu jumped up and down, Zhao Xu didn't care.

This is also a balance.

Even if you can understand Zhao Xu's mentality, it is not a big problem in the court, but if you put it on the front line, it will be really dead.

Let’s see how Xue Rengui, Dafeichuan, and Guo Waifeng are.

Then after the failure of the Xia Dynasty, Wang Ju will have to bear the main responsibility.

In fact, this may not be the case, but since Wang Ju has decided... he must find a reason for himself.

"So I plan to make this arrangement next..." Wang Ju slowly said his plan.

For Wang Ju, this is a plan that makes him struggle extremely hard. Even in his heart, he thought that there is only the darkest, not the darkest.

It can be said that it is almost the darkest means in the battle of power.

But although it was a bit regretful for Zhang and Han, it was normal. Once a general succeeded, he had to sacrifice his great sacrifice.

So after sighing for a while, Zhang Quanzhi said: "Although it is a bit cruel, it is indeed a good idea."

However, both of them looked at Wang Ju in surprise. OK, they didn't expect that the adopted son of the eldest princess was the biological son of the eldest princess and Wang Ju. This matter was a mess...

Wang Ju always neglected a person, Yu Zang Huama in Xishicheng District. Soon after, the Liang family killed Li Qing and imprisoned Li Bingchang in Muzhai outside Lixingzhou City. He cut off the ditch and beams so that he could not communicate with the outside world. Yu Zang Huama was the minister entrusted by Li Liangzuo before his death. He was very unhappy when he heard this and immediately wrote a letter to the Song Dynasty officials in Xizhou, asking the Song Dynasty to send troops to attack the Liang family together.

Yu Zang Huama also had many elite soldiers in his hands, which made the Song Dynasty think.

Unfortunately, Wang Ju didn't know, otherwise there would be a lot of room for control.

And by the time of the incident, Wang Ju was no longer in the capital...

The east wind begins to come.

Not only did the east wind come, but a group of people also came.

As soon as this group arrived in the capital, they were taken to Yanhe Hall.

Wherever they passed, many ministers and eunuchs looked at each other.

One is curious, and the other is that these people are all "rich".

At the same time, all the important officials were summoned to Yanhe Hall.

Although a group of seafarers came, the discussion was not small, with millions of dollars in profits. Some well-informed people also knew that 200,000 taels of gold would be produced every year. In addition, such a large territory, I heard that there were several large areas of the Song Dynasty. How millions of people arranged it was all for everyone to care about.

Many ministers looked at the dozen or so seamen and looked at Wang Ju again.

Wang Ju stood at Zhang Qi's lower head, closing his eyes to rest, as if he had nothing to do with him.

Zhao Xu first asked: "Jiqing family, how do you manage the other side now?"

This must be asked.

After all, there are so many people, you must have a management charter.

And this charter may be used as a reference.

One of the hikers began to answer.

Generally speaking, there is no concealment. After all, in a few months, the court may send several officials to several resettlement sites to try to manage them.

Let’s talk about governance ideas first, which is the ancestral family law mentioned by the scholars and officials of the Song Dynasty. Without any ideological guidance, management will inevitably be chaotic.

What is the idea? Policies are fair, laws are fair, and trade, especially commercial goods that are related to people's livelihood must be fair.

Everyone was not surprised after hearing this. In fact, it was what Wang Ju mentioned. As for the justice mentioned later, it was nothing more than what Wang Anshi wanted to do, setting up some national institutions to regulate prices and crack down on the monopoly of hoarding and various groups.

But this is really wrong. The Qi people mentioned in the Song Dynasty were just nominal Qi people, and the other side was to truly implement Qi people.

Next is the four-level system, village, town, city, and province.

Everyone is not surprised. If the Song Dynasty was replaced by county roads, the village was actually the pavilion chief system of the Qin Dynasty.

But it surprised everyone.

Village and town election system!

Where did the electoral system come from in the Song Dynasty?

Almost everyone felt confused.

Not only that, there is another system, that is, the system of grace. If officials want their children to embark on the political path in the future, they must start from the village.

First, you will be the village chief in a village. After several years, you will be recognized by the people of the whole village before you can enter the town. The performance in the town is recognized by the people and recognized by the above. Then you will be further selected to serve as an official at the municipal level. This is a thorough investigation.

When we reach the municipal level, we are too far away from the people, and in this era, such a large area cannot conduct effective elections, so we have to let the superiors appoint them.

However, this system cannot be expressed, because it is undoubtedly an advancement towards a country.

Wang Ju opened his eyes at this time and looked at the scholar named Zhang Xingguan. He thought to himself that the person selected by Lu Herang is very good, courageous and quick to react.

Then there is tax.

The other side also began to implement relevant taxes.

The agriculture and animal husbandry pay two taxes, and there is also commercial taxes. There is no way. So many people must manage them. Management requires the establishment of relevant officials and officials, and the yamen runners, so there must be expenditures.

In addition, each village, town and city also needs to build road and water conservancy schools and hire scholars to educate children, which also requires expenditure.

In the end, there is such a large area. Although millions of people have migrated over, it is impossible to completely occupy it. Just stay in settlements, there are still a large number of indigenous people around it. Even if the Luzon Island uses such a tragic method, there are still more than one million indigenous people. In addition to distributing armor to the people of each village and town, and organizing militia, a small number of troops must be set up. This will cost a lot of money.

Zhang Xingguan seemed to be unintentionally talking, but many ministers were inevitably thinking in their hearts, no wonder Wang Ju said that the people on the other side were fierce, and that all villages were armed forces. If they were not managed well, there would undoubtedly be a big trouble...

However, the tax is considerable. Last year, the tax reached more than three million guan a year, but it was still not enough. Merchants still had to continue to compensate millions of guan a year to ensure their expenditures.

Anyway, even if the Song Dynasty got it, he would not have thought of any wealth. Maybe once the merchants lost their hands, the Song Dynasty would pay for their wealth.

Mr. Lu asked: "Do you have any tea, wine, and salt?"

"This husband and noble surname."

"Someone's surname is Lü."

"It turned out to be Lu Xianggong, who has been admired for a long time," Zhang Xingguan immediately gave a great gift respectfully and replied: "There are two reasons. One is that most of the people who migrated were extremely poor and had nothing to do. They must be allowed to rest and rest. Moreover, many villages and towns have to face the invasion of local indigenous people. Because of their poverty, in addition to low taxes, they have to bear a lot of labor every year."

"Why don't the exemption law be implemented for forceful labor?" Cai Que asked.

"The other side is different from our dynasty. Our dynasty can implement the law of exemption from service. The people in the other side were all poor people. They would rather bear the labor service than pay more exemption from service. However, some people do not want to bear the labor service. We temporarily learned from some labor service methods of the Tang Dynasty and used money to redeem the labor service. Generally, a one-day labor service can be paid 50 to 100 cents according to the situation in various places. Let others work on their behalf. Therefore, the people's lives are slightly better than when they were in the inland area, and it is still very difficult. In order to collect less taxes, there is no special system. After all, salt, wine, tea and alum are also materials for people's livelihood."

He said it was normal, but the ministers seemed to feel their faces burning.

"The second is the difference in various materials. Merchants have also tried to transplant mulberry tea, but in many places, they have not successfully transplanted, but the transplant has survived. The quality of tea mulberry is far less than that of the Central Plains, and the scale is pitifully small. There is no tea. Where can we get tea and salt come from?"
