"Zhang Qing, Ge Qing, why haven't Wang Zi'an come back yet?" Zhao Xu felt annoyed when he saw the three of them coming back, but he didn't see Wang Ju.

"Your Majesty, Taibao is back, but he is in Mizhou."

"In Mizhou," Zhao Xu's face immediately calmed down.

After the Battle of Yongle City, the actual consumption of Western Xia was also very serious, but they were not willing to do so. Although the Song army was defeated twice, almost all the east of Wuding River was lost to the Song Dynasty. Even the Xifutu Village on the north bank of the Dali River was occupied by the Song army and changed to Kerong Village. This is a bit better, if the big Lanzhou was also occupied by the Song Dynasty.

So from last winter to this summer, Xixia launched several attacks on these two places.

Both sides have their own victory or defeat.

In fact, this is still the reason for national strength.

Although the Song Dynasty suffered two defeats, due to the huge national strength, especially after the Xining reform, the national treasury and internal treasury were collected in large quantities, and did not create a national economic crisis like the Song Dynasty's second attack on the Liao Kingdom. Although the Western Xia won twice, it was like the end of a powerful force.

But the Song Dynasty didn't know.

Therefore, the Song Dynasty's monarchs and ministers were mostly worried all day long when facing the strong counterattacks of Xixia.

As long as Wang Ju comes, it will be easy.

It really doesn't work, I'll send someone to capture Wang Jusheng!

So he asked, "Then why he didn't enter the capital? Are he still not satisfied?"

"No, Taibao said, if His Majesty wants him to come back, please be sure to agree to his three requests."

"Are you still asking?"

"These three requirements are not excessive," said Zhang Shangying.

"explain."

"Taibao said that no matter what, he had an affair with the eldest princess, which did hinder the etiquette system, so this Zhongshu Ling could not take over. Therefore, he asked His Majesty Xianggong Cai to be the subordinate minister, and the prince to be the central minister, and he would be the central minister, and he would be the central minister."

That is, three people will change.

But Wang Ju cannot enter the school, that is the deliberation department and has no decision-making power.

If this happens, the future Secretariat will be Lao Wang and Wang Ju, Zhang Yu, the subordinates will be Cai Que and Zhang Dun, the Secretariat will be Li Qingchen and Fan Chunren, Pu Zongmeng and the Secretariat of the Six Tribes. As for the Western Prefecture, it will be gone. Feng Jing replaced Wen Yanbo and sent him to Luoyang.

There are also some political enemies.

For example, An Tao, when everyone impeached Wang Ju together, he had no say, so Zhao Xu was not punished. This time he was relocated to the Minister of Revenue. That would no longer cause any trouble.

Zhao Xu thought about it and asked, "Don't he want power?"

This is what I say...

Zhang Shangying finally understood Wang Ju's request. No matter what, Wang Ju "takes the opportunity to blackmail" and the emperor is still unhappy, so he gave up the Secretariat to Wang Gui, so he said again: "Taibao, he still asked His Majesty for power."

"oh."

"This is his second request. Taibao said that if the banking department is implemented, the equitable tax must be implemented. Then let the minister tell his Majesty what he saw on the other side. "

"What did you see?"

Zhang Shangying said with some desire: "Although there are no dragons on the other side..."

Zhao Xu snorted coldly, Zhang Shangying didn't dare to say the head. If the dragons had heads, it would be a bad thing.

However, he saw too many, and this time Wang Ju deliberately arranged people and took him around and saw too many new systems, but it could not be promoted in the Song Dynasty.

Just like the move to use donations to offset taxes, this is the real Zilu who is worthy of being a tyrant.

But can it be implemented in the Song Dynasty?

People even have to hide their land for two taxes, so why bother with this?

So he said everything he saw on the other side.

It cannot be said that there is no oppression on the other side. There are oppressions in places where there are people, and there is unevenness in the rich and poor. However, it is much better than the Song Dynasty. In other words, compared with the Song Dynasty, the other side is almost close to the world of great harmony imagined by Confucius.

Moreover, he presided over the Southern 12th Road Delivery Department and had a deeper understanding of finance than before.

That is an ideal model of governing the country. What’s ridiculous is that so many elites in China are not as good as a group of rude tourists.

"How much was the commercial tax over there last year?"

"Your Majesty, more than 6.81 million yuan. And Taibao said that if there is no accident, it will reach about 12 million yuan in five years. At that time, taxes alone can support the financial needs of the other side, and there is no need for support from the seamen."

One thousand two million jin was not a big number for the finances of the Song Dynasty.

But what I consider is that this income is all commercial tax, and how many people can there be on the other side?

So this number is scary.

Zhao Xu pondered for a while and asked again: "Why are there so many expenses over there?"

"There is not so much now, and the expenditure last year was only eight or nine million, but in five years, the population will increase further, and the expenditure will also increase accordingly."

“But this is a little bit more.”

"Your Majesty, there are a lot of wars there, but there will be wars there one after another. This will last for a long time. Without a hundred or two years, there will be no way to solve the indigenous problems. If the indigenous problems are solved, the military expenses will be immediately frugal. At the same time, the people will also have resettlement expenses. In addition to the salaries of officials and soldiers, there are also a large amount of expenses for clerks and yamen runners and scholars. They also have to take the people to build roads, water conservancy, and ports, which will also incur costs."

Relatively speaking, the prices there are still relatively low, otherwise the expenditure will be even higher.

At the same time, the development of the other shore and the acceptance of the people's expenses in the Song Dynasty did not add them, otherwise it would be higher.

As for the natives, perhaps one or two hundred years later, the natives on the other side will be solved, but the natives on the other side will not be solved in one or two hundred years. That time will be longer. Maybe when Columbus Magellan's fleet arrives, there will be endless battles there.

But Zhang Shangying did not observe this.

"What is his second request?"

"Taibao said that if the tax on the equitable business tax is implemented, the old ministers will hate it. However, after the increase in finance, it does not mean that money can be accumulated. In fact, it may not cost much money. On the contrary, the Western Xia cannot be destroyed. No matter how much money it costs, it cannot be destroyed."

"He said so."

"That's what I said, but if you want to destroy Xia, you must be prosperous and the people will be happy. With one decline and the other, you can annihilate Xixia in one fell swoop. Therefore, he deliberately arranged for the seamen to migrate a large number of families of martyrs to the other side. Especially the families of the Pojie soldiers and civilians on Shaanxi Road. The pensions they received were limited, and coupled with the deductions from generals and officials, the pensions to these families even became very pitiful. In turn, migrating to the other side was invisibly equivalent to reducing a big burden for the court and being able to move forward lightly."

"So that's it, Sun Gu harmed me."

This is true. Otherwise, why should we migrate the people in Shaanxi? How much money will it cost? It is so eye-catching. Moreover, these people have been in the north for a long time. They can only be placed in the central and southern parts of Australia, but not on various tropical islands. This way, the cost will be more.

Zhang Shangying said in his heart that if it weren't for Sun Gu, how could the 600,000 people be sacrificed? Maybe Xixia would have taken it down at this time.

But he was hard to say, and continued: "If the people want to live and work in peace, they must pay less and less taxes. Therefore, they must be exempted from the practical methods, the Qingmiao method, and the lenient money. At the same time, they will take out some money and silk. Improve the Horse Protection Law and the Baojia method, and abolish the harsh and miscellaneous taxes in various places. But in this way, the new ministers will not be happy. Therefore, they will ask Your Majesty to support him strongly. Because he only promised to stay for three years in the Secretariat. These things must be implemented for three years and the country will be promoted to peace in the country. Then he went to Shaanxi, but after he arrived in Shaanxi, he asked the court to trust it and give him greater rights than when he was in Guangdong and Guangxi. Then he promised that in the next three years, he would destroy the Western Xia for the Song Dynasty. However, by the time when he truly destroyed the Xia Dynasty, he would not only give him the rights in Xihe, Shaanxi, but also the support of the whole country, and no one should suspect it. Otherwise, it would not succeed. He also added, know yourself and your enemy. If you can fight the people in the south, you may not be able to defeat the Western Xia..."

Zhao Xu has a deep understanding.

Moreover, Wang Ju used a cart to describe it.

He pondered for a while and said, "I am sure of this one."

Actually, this is very important.

Many people are Han Qiyin, but in fact, when Zhao Xu ascended the throne, Han Qi almost lost it, which had a profound impact on Zhao Xu's lifelong mentality.

Zhao Xu was divided into two periods for the emperor, one was Xining and the other was Yuanfeng.

During the Xining Reform, did Zhao Xu not know that Wang Anshi is important?

I knew that, however, many old parties were retained in the court, and even used Wen Yanbo to restrain Wang Anshi from beginning to end.

This is the imperial mind technique, or the unconcerned arguments of the Song Dynasty, or the so-called checks and balances.

But almost no brick has mentioned this article.

So Wang Jucai also started to misjudgment, otherwise he would have done better.

This is Xining, and then to Yuanfeng. This period is also called the period of iron-fisted toughness, or the period of dictatorship. There are three main manifestations. The department responsible for the new law was Sinong Temple. However, the Yuanfeng period issued an edict that any major matters involving the new law should not be submitted to the department for discussion. It is necessary to report the order first and take back the rights of Sinong Temple in one go.

The second article is the Wutai poetry case. Although Su Dongpo asked for it with a big mouth, if it weren’t for Zhao Xu’s nonsense that consciously banned the literati and officials, then could Li Ding’s proposal be passed?

The third article is the Yuanfeng restructuring.

In fact, what Wang Ju said was afraid of the exclusion of ministers of the old and new factions, not really afraid of the exclusion of ministers of the old and new factions, but rather that Zhao Xu himself was afraid of rejecting them.

Zhao Xu didn't think deeply, and asked, "Why is it six years?"

"Your Majesty, I have also asked, Taibao said that if Your Majesty gives you six years of trust and cannot be realized for Your Majesty, then he has to bear His Majesty's heavy trust and how can he stay in the court? But if it is realized, then his contribution will be the first among the ministers of Zhao Pu of the Song Dynasty. In order to avoid other ministers having any ideas, he can only learn from Guo Ziyi. If this is the time, why should he be in the court? Wouldn't it be better to retire at that time? It will also become a good story for the monarch and ministers in historical books."

In other words, the master will be very powerful and he will be unable to stay in the court, so he can only retreat!

"Is I such a narrow-minded person?"

It's really hard to say, Zhang Shangying thought.

But he dared to say this idea and said, "Your Majesty, please respond first with the opinion of me. After all, two defeats are awful. The prince must come back to stabilize the hearts and morale."

"Yeah, what about the third one?"

“The third one is a bit weird.”

“What’s weird.”

"He said that if he wants him to come back, His Majesty must follow this recipe according to his daily diet. Otherwise, he would not have come back." Zhang Shangying handed over a recipe.

The recipe contains many names and portions of meat, vegetables, vegetables, fruits, and especially some oranges and oranges. They deliberately indicate that they eat more every day. There is another instruction, that is, you must not drink alcohol, and you must not drink alcohol at any time. And he deliberately said, when Zhao Xu drinks, when Wang Ju will leave the court immediately.

"Why did I let me do this?" Zhao Xu said strangely. (~^~)
