Huang He said again: "Your Majesty, when I left, Shaobao once said something... He said that when morality is corrupt, everyone must abide by the law. Once everyone abides by the law, morality will naturally be better. But everyone thinks that morality is good, but they often have hypocriticality, false benevolence and false righteousness, and morality will be worse. The most obvious ones are the five great gentlemen of Qingli, Fan Wenzheng and Pang Gong died early, and their ethics are also good. However, although the three great gentlemen at the end all made achievements in their early years, in their later years, they all took high positions and were at the highest position and had a high position in their posts, and they were all degenerate. There is no clear rule and only morality, which is actually not true morality at all."

"There is another saying, however, some laws in the Xining reform are indeed acts to disturb the people and make money. If there is 20% profit, capital will be ready to move; if there is 50% profit, capital will take risks; if there is 100% profit, capital will dare to take risks; if there is 300% profit, capital will dare to trample on all laws in the world. This capital is business, that is, if there is 2% profit, merchants will be happy."

It means that the Qingmiao method has two-part profits and four-part profits, which really makes everyone very unwilling to accept.

That's why he implemented a profitable annual interest rate in Gyeongju.

It seems that this position is fair, but... Gao Taotao is still sitting behind the curtain.

What does it mean to make everyone abide by the rules?

Wang Ju means that most of the powerful and powerful people in the officialdom and upper class of the Song Dynasty are morally corrupt, so they must be forced to abide by the country's legal system, including taxes and commercial taxes.

Two "saints" think about it yourself.

I couldn't think so I was here to be free and easy. After thinking about it, I sent someone to invite me back.

The two retreated.

Gao Taotao said: "Although this boy is talented, he is still very domineering."

Zhao Xu sighed slightly.

Indeed, he was a little uncomfortable.

So this matter was delayed.

The memorials of several prefects on the other side have also arrived one after another, which is roughly the same. However, there are still some differences.

Le Zhizhou, who stayed in Fengshi, was the happiest. He began to have a more prosperous city. The climate adapted, and the seasons were the opposite. The Song Dynasty spent spring, the autumn there, the autumn there, and the Song Dynasty spent spring.

However, Wang Ju said it a long time ago, and no one was surprised.

There is another magistrate who arranged it in Western Australia. The situation there is a little better, but the population is relatively small and he is fighting with the natives from time to time, which scares him so much that he doesn't even dare to leave the city gate.

Then there were various islands, and other situations were better, it was hot.

In addition, I reported a situation, that is, sugarcane has also begun to be planted in various tropical areas on the other side. This is helpless and we cannot plant all rice. Therefore, we consciously guide the people to plant spices, fruit trees and sugarcane, and then use spices, candied fruits and sugar sugar to drive the local economy.

But these sugars were not sold to the Song Dynasty. Isn’t they allowed to be planted on the other side?

The other situations are almost the same as what Zhang Gao and others said.

The gold was then sent to the capital.

A large number of people were brought to the other side again.

Especially the people in Shaanxi, although most of them are orphans and widows, at least 30,000 to 40,000 households have been swept away.

Wen Yanbo made several memorials in Luoyang in an extremely painful tone.

Half a year passed by the Battle of Xia, and the influence gradually weakened, so he was able to speak loudly...

In addition, Wen Yanbo publicly pointed out in the memorial that as the population on the other side increases, a strong country will inevitably appear. The Song Dynasty has weak control over the sea and lacks relevant military power on the East China Sea. These seamen are unruly. In the future, they will definitely become a harm to our Song Dynasty.

After seeing this, Zhao Xu just sneered.

The Haike is indeed unruly, but there is no way to deal with it? It’s just that the Song Dynasty didn’t want to anger the Haike too much.

In fact, Wen Yanbo is not aimless. The difference is that he depends on who the ships are controlled by. If they are controlled by Japan, it will become the biggest harm to the Japanese pirates in the Ming Dynasty. If they are controlled by Wang Ju, would he want to be a Japanese pirate?

However, Wang Ju seemed to have not put forward the conditions, but actually put forward the harsh conditions, so no one proposed to summon Wang Ju back.

If this is the case... Wang Ju may really be overseas and become an overseas "little king".

but……

When Xu Xi arrived in Yanzhou, why did it be Yanzhou, not Weizhou? This choice was not just for the Xixia, but also for the Liao Kingdom.

If Yanzhou to Fulin Road is opened and a strict line of defense is formed, Xixia will not jeopardize the security of Hedong. Not only the Western Xia, but the Song Dynasty has always been worried that the Liao Kingdom and Xixia will jointly attack Hedong.

So in the end, Li Xian's strategy was abandoned and Zhong Yan's strategy was adopted.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with both strategies, the one who executes them.

But the two quickly had a dispute, and according to Zhong Yan's intention, they directly operated Yinzhou.

Why was it Yinzhou? Zhong Yan's army broke out in the west, and the three armies collapsed when they encountered heavy snow and fled to Yanzhou. However, there were officers and soldiers left behind in the Shiyin prefectures of Yuxia, and they all fled to Yinzhou first. Moreover, at the beginning of the western expedition, the Fulin Road army and the Fuyan Road army converged in Yinzhou.

All the local people fled and the city was destroyed.

Although Xixia gradually took these states back in the next year, Yinzhou was still covered with rubble.

If Yinzhou is operated, the two routes will be connected, and there will be two routes of military assistance, and the food and grass and civilians of Hedong Road can be supported by food and grass.

So it seems bold, but implementation is a safe and miraculous suggestion.

However, Xu Xi disagreed that Yinzhou was outside the mountain, which was too dangerous. Therefore, he proposed to build Yongle City, and Shen Kuo had built six forts in the surrounding areas, which could help each other.

Zhong Yan disagreed, and had a lesson from Luowu City before, so he said that although Yongle City can be dangerous based on the mountains, it seems to connect the surrounding forts, but there is no mountain spring, which is not a good place to build a city.

The two argued endlessly, and Zhao Xu finally adopted Xu Xi's opinion, abandoned Yinzhou and built Yongle City. He also left Zhong Yanzhou to stay in Yanzhou.

Here comes.

Three hundred thousand soldiers and civilians were repeatedly strangled by the Xixia people. The reinforcements and transportation led by Shen Kuo were all blocked by the Xia army. However, Zhong Yan was watching the city in Yanzhou, entrusting his name to Shouyan, and did not provide any rescue.

In this battle, only a few tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians escaped. Gao Yongneng and more than 100 generals were wiped out, and most of the elite and powerful Fuyan Army was damaged.

After Zhao Xu heard this, Hu Tao cried. He was so sad that he had not eaten for several consecutive days.

Back to the original topic, if it weren't for Wang Ju and Wang Shao, it would be Zhao Xu's mistake of fighting.

But what about now?

Not only Zhao Xu was sad and angry, but all the people were sad and angry. Think about it. If Emperor Wu of Han did not trust Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, could he defeat the Huns? If Emperor Taizong of Tang and Emperor Gaozong of Tang did not value Li Jing and Li Ji, could he have the invincible state in the early Tang Dynasty?

This time, it was not just because several people had ambitions that 500,000 men were all cut off.

And he became 800,000 men and his soul was cut off!

For a time, countless ministers wrote letters to ask Zhao Xu why he did not recall Wang Ju.

Didn’t it just make a mistake? Is it necessary to save hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians because of the punishment?

If you make a mistake, how many mistakes Zhao Pu made in the past? But why could Emperor Taizong still reuse it?

If we talk about the grudge between Zhao Pu and Zhao Kuangyi, it would be too great. Not only did Zhao Pu do his own timber business and receive bribes from money and pepper, but he also framed Zhao Kuangyi many times, including Zhao Kuangyi's confidant ministers and father-in-law.

Isn’t this more serious than touching the princess?

Gao Taotao found Zhao Xu, and two miserable defeats made Zhao Xu seriously ill. At this time, his health had not recovered. Gao Taotao said, "Call Prince An back."

Two miserable defeats. The number of people who died did not reach 800,000, but after statistics, the number of people who died in the government army, Shuqiang and Yibao reached an astonishing 600,000, and the money spent was even more than 100,000.

Think about how many soldiers and civilians died in Qigou Pass back then, only tens of thousands of times, the Song Dynasty felt like the sky had collapsed.

Besides, there are so many.

What's even more terrible is that the number of soldiers in the middle is also close to 200,000, including the super famous general Gao Yongneng recommended by Wang Ju.

After the initial reduction in Xining, the number of imprisoned soldiers was only more than 500,000, followed by border troops, local troops, and archers. As for Shaanxi, there were more than 100,000 Poches, archers and foreign soldiers.

But these more than 100,000 soldiers in the village were the most capable army in the Song Dynasty.

However, after these two defeats, nearly half of these rural soldiers were lost, and there were actually not many illegal soldiers, but these few damaged illegal soldiers were the most elite illegal soldiers among the imperial guards.

It can be said that the emperor of Liao is not good at this time. Otherwise, he would lead his army south and the biggest crisis of the Song Dynasty would come.

But Gao Taotao didn't know. She only knew that so many soldiers had died, and most of them were elite troops. Although the Liao Kingdom formed a alliance with the Song Dynasty, it took advantage of the Song Dynasty crisis twice to blackmail. What if it came again, if it came again, I'm afraid that the blackmail would have a bigger appetite this time.

So at this time, if Wang Ju can come back, the others will be tolerated.

At worst, the court will take it as a steward to support Ding Wei, and then resolve it slowly after the crisis.

Gao Taotao only said one sentence, but not only asked Wang Ju to come back, but also agreed to the price paid by the court to let Wang Ju come back.

Just as Lu Gongzhu wrote a letter again, opposing the court's border opening.

So Zhao Xu put Lu Gongzhu out of Dingzhou.

Then Wang Gui was summoned to the inner palace to discuss.

What we discussed was the Yuanfeng reform and re-imitation of the Tang Dynasty system. No matter how big or small it was, the Secretary of the Central Committee took the order, and the Secretary of the Party reviewed it, and the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty accepted it and performed it.

That is, the three provinces system of the Tang Dynasty, which was made by the Secretary of the Central Committee, reviewed by the Secretary of the Branch, and implemented by the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty.

So what about Xifu?

The Xifu and the Sansi became the original Six Divisions of the Song Dynasty, and would become an empty shell.

In this way, the political handle will be returned to the Secretariat. First, it will save people who manage finance from not knowing about military affairs, people who manage military affairs do not know politics but not money, and people who manage finance do not know politics but not war.

The second is to simplify the government orders.

This has been planned for nearly two years, so what Zhao Xu said to Lao Wang was not like.

He said: "The country is in danger, and one person must be used."

Lao Wang was so clever and immediately said, "If the prince comes back, the old minister will give him his position."

Zhao Xu hesitated for a moment and said, "I am not in this regard, but to reset the Secretariat Order."

This refers to the discussion some time ago. When Cai Que heard that the court was preparing to restructure, he told Lao Wang that if the minister was in the prime minister for a long time, he would be appointed as the Minister of the Central Secretariat.
To be continued...
