When the news reached Zhongshu, Zhongshu was discussing who to replace Zhang Qing. After Wang Ju came back, he wrote a letter to ask Zhang Qing if there was any problem there. If you have done it, come to the northwest as soon as possible. Zhang Qing also replied that there were rebellions in some areas, but it was not a problem. If the court needed me, he could also transfer it back.

It was too far away, so after going back and forth, the letter only arrived in Wang Ju's hands today.

But the problem is that Zhang Qing is transferred back. In the future, Dali will be two, Yunnan East Road and Yunnan West Road, Wang Ju has no objection, because although all of this is slightly unfavorable to the overall scheduling, it is conducive to washing away the people of Dali's nostalgia for their homeland, and the area of ​​Dali is indeed too large.

And the court agreed that Dali’s special order was specially handled, which means formally establishing management officials at the first level, rather than just setting up offices, training offices, transfer offices, and criminal prison offices, so everything is two, and then using the system of relocation will avoid the second An Lushan.

However, everyone has a headache for whom they serve as the chief officer of both ways.

This requires three conditions. The first is to be familiar with the situation in the south, and the second is to love the people, which is difficult to lead. In the past ten years, you must be careful in selecting officials from these two channels. Until most people recognize the Song Dynasty, the two channels can truly belong to the territory of the Song Dynasty. There is another condition, that is, to know a little about military affairs.

For example, the imperial court asked Miao Shizhong to replace Liu Yi and Liu Yi to replace Zhang Dun in charge of Jiaozhi Road affairs, which were two very good candidates.

Zhang Yu said: "How about Zhu Chuping, Qiongzhou?"

"Mr. Zhang, Zhu Zhizhou has no problem in government affairs and loving the people, but he doesn't know the military. If Zhu Zhizhou is competent, then Ge Shaohua will be competent too."

"In this way, it will be difficult for two candidates to be solved," Lao Wang said embarrassedly.

"There are actually three more candidates, but it's impossible."

"who?"

"Shishou Minister Zhang, Shishou Minister Xu, Shishou Minister Xiong."

Both Zhang and Wang were happy, how could this be possible? One was the minister of the subordinates, the minister of the Ministry of War, and the other was the minister of the Ministry of Works. When they went to Yunnan, it was not called a position. It was called demotion. Three people. How could the court demote them to Yunnan Road for no reason?

"In fact, if it weren't for this military service, I would have a choice in my heart." Lao Wang said.

"who?"

"Xie Lin, a native of Fujian, was originally the magistrate of Huichang, but later transferred to Shishou County for political achievements. The people of Shishou County suffered from the river. This person climbed Huangshan Mountain in Jingzhou (not the Huangshan Mountain in Anhui) and said that he would not cure the floods of this river. I would be buried on the top of this mountain if I die. The people were moved by it. The whole county worked together to block the dike, and the floods were finally resolved. Therefore, the local people were crying and called Xie Gong Dike. The court praised his merits and let him govern Jingzhou."

In fact, there were quite a few good officials in the Song Dynasty, but because they didn’t know how to talk big, they couldn’t get to the top.

However, even though he is a good official, he may not be competent when he goes to the two routes of Yunnan, because he doesn't know if he will be in charge of the troops.

"I also have a candidate in my heart, but I just can't bear to leave it." Wang Ju said.

Lao Wang asked: "Who?"

"Zen Ye's nephew, the son of Zang Ji, Zhong Shidao."

This person is serving as the Xizhou Promoter, and he is both literary and martial. He is under Zhang Zai and is also considered Wang Ju's brother.

However, we have to use troops to the Western Xia. Can these generals who can fight be placed in the south?

Lao Wang said: "It's really not possible. Let him take it for a while. Anyway, Xixia will have several years left. But the two Yunnan routes must make a smooth transition in these few years."

"That's it, but there's another candidate?"

"Zi'an, when I mentioned Mr. Zhong, I remembered another person, how about Lu Dazhong?"

Lu Dazhong is also half a student at Zhang Zai. Although he has never been to the south, he has worked in the border for a long time, so there is no big problem with government affairs and loving the people.

But does Lv Dazhong understand military affairs? Wang Ju expressed doubts.

However, what should I do? There is no other good candidate, so I can only choose these two people. Therefore, I used Zhong Shidao as the pacification and strategy envoy of Yunnan West Road and the Dali Prefecture, and Lu Dazhong as the strategic envoy of Yunnan East Road and the Kunming Prefecture. However, in case of precautions, Wang Ju issued an edict, and Miao Lu and Yao Xiong as the general managers of the two routes of horse and infantry. Both of them participated in the battle between the Punishment of Jiaozhi and Dali with Wang Ju, and were extremely familiar with the situation there.

This kind of caution is not only Wang Ju, but others are also cautious. After all, everyone is afraid of several major uprisings in Bashu. Therefore, even without Wang Ju, everyone is very careful about the selection of officials in these newly acquired regions.

But Wang Ju also noticed the military aspect, but did not expect that it actually played an important role.

The person in charge of Guangnan West Road is Miao Shizhong. If you have a little military talent, this person is.

Guo Kui's troops stationed in Fuliang River, but he had not advanced for a long time. Miao Shizhong was the deputy envoy of Guangnan West Road Transportation at that time and also followed the army south. Of course, he had no say, but said: "The king's army (referring to Guo Kui) had no intention of advancing and attacking him. The thief must come from the infernal affairs. Taking advantage of my unpreparedness, if the wings win, the power will be poor and then surrender."

Sure enough, after Guo Kui withdrew his troops, Jiaozhi sent an army to follow from the upper stream. The back of Tao Bi's palace reminded Miao Shizhong that the three armies were on guard. Jiaozhi's army fled back slightly. However, when Wang Ju went south, Miao Shizhong had been transferred to Zizhou Road Transportation Envoy. Qidi betrayed the brother and the court sent Han Cunbao to attack. Han Cunbao mobilized the troops and left, but he was afraid. Miao Shizhong was also in the army and said that the teacher was old and the soldiers were exposed, which was not a good person.

Either fight or withdraw the three armies. Why are you staying on the front line?

Han Cunbao refused to listen and eventually turned into a joke. Zhao Xu was furious and killed Han Cunbao.

At that time, Wang Ju had already entered the capital, but Wang Ju did not object.

You can treat military generals well, but are you still need to treat them well when you are afraid of death?

However, another story is drawn. Su Dongpo's hometown has a knight named Chao Gu. He has loved martial arts since he was a child and has a good relationship with Han Cunbao. This time he followed Han Cunbao to fight for his brother. Han Cunqi was cowardly and refused to go forward. The court sent an envoy to deal with it. Han Cunbao heard the wind from somewhere and said to Chao Gu, "I am a martial artist in Jingyuan, and there is no regret for death, but my wife will inevitably starve and get frozen." Now I have hundreds of taels of silver in my pocket, please bring it to them."

Chao Gu agreed, but he didn't expect that he would be part of the punishment list. So Chao Gu secretly came to Han Cunbao's house and handed the money to Han Cunbao's family. Then he fled to Jianghuai to hide from the court's arrest.

In history, Xiao Su was demoted to Xunzhou, and Da Su was demoted to Changhua, Hainan. Chao Gu deliberately ran to Xunzhou to visit Xiao Su, and then went to Hainan to visit Da Su. Xiao Su persuaded him. Chao Gu refused to listen. As a result, his wallet was stolen by a barbarian thief. The thief was caught in Xinzhou. Chao Gu was not simple, and he actually chased him to Xinzhou with the thief. But at that time, Chao Gu was old and seventy-three years old. He ran all the way and died of illness. Therefore, Xiao Su sighed and wrote an article "The Legend of Chao Gu".

However, because of this Chaogu legend, Wang Ju noticed, he used the power of the Secretariat to pardon Chaogu's crime. Then he understood that the Princess' affair occurred...

Han Cunbao was killed, and the court replaced him with Lin Guang. He begged his brother to surrender and then fled, and the soldiers were disgraced. We are not Han Cunbao, so the court should not kill us.

So sometimes killing people may not be a bad thing.

Lin Guang had no choice but to say that since we lost the thief, we would immediately catch up.

Miao Shizhong said that the emperor gave to him 100,000 people, so how could he be brave to die? Now he has entered a different world and changes will be unpredictable.

You can't catch up like this blindly.

Lin Guangwu finally stopped the pursuers. He organized the army to advance. Zhang Qi sent reinforcements to attack and defeated Qidi. Then he killed many powerful men who rebelled with Qidi. He learned from Wang Ju's division of land and houses, changed land and returned to the current, and formally included the vast area of ​​Xishui River in the east and Chishui River in the south into the territory of the Song Dynasty. Of course, it further ensured the safety of Wumeng Road.

Therefore, Miao Shizhong was transferred to Guizhou magistrate for his merits.

After he arrived in Guizhou, he was quiet and inactive, and just follow the foundation laid by Wang Ju and manage it slowly. There is no need to add anything to it.

However, some barbarians in Qianzhou thought that Miao Shizhong could be bullied. Zhang Feng, who had established a reputation in the south in Dali in recent years, was transferred. Lu Dazhong also focused on tranquility. With the governance over the past few years, the situation in Pu'anzhou has improved.

So these barbarians became bolder and gathered countless barbarians to invade Pu'an Prefecture. The governor Zhou Bu was killed, countless people were killed, and the grain and silk in the prefecture warehouse were also washed away.

Miao Shizhong was furious and asked Lu Dazhong for help. Lu Dazhong asked Miao Lu to lead his troops to cooperate with Guangnan West Road Town to fight against Qianzhou Manchu. Miao Lu designed it, saying that the court also implemented the banking department on Yunnan Road and sent many officers and soldiers to escort a large amount of gold, silver and silk to hand over.

In this way, the barbarian soldiers of the barbarians were lured to Panshui, and in a canyon, nearly 10,000 barbarians were wiped out. Then, with the help of the great victory, the two armies went east to conquer Puning Prefecture, Qingzhou, Juzhou, Zhuangzhou, Jinzhou, Nanning Prefecture, Wuzhou, Xiangzhou, and Xunzhou in the northeast and southeast. Most of the areas implemented the policy of land reform and return to the land, reducing the area of ​​China by one sixth to one seventh.

The war and suppression continued until March next year and would not end.

But this battle is of great significance. The remaining barbarians in the southwest sent leaders as representatives to the capital to convince them. At the same time, Juzhou, the core area of ​​the barbarians in the southwest, has since been included under the rule of the Song Dynasty court.

However, because of the courageous advance of these two people, the court spent more than 10 million guan of money and did not take the custody, and it was not necessary to worry about the lives and death of the people in this area. However, after taking the custody, it was impossible to ignore it. Wang Ju had to allocate another 3 million guan of money and let Miao Shizhong lead the officers and soldiers to build roads, water conservancy, establish education, fund advanced agricultural tools to the people, and teach the people advanced farming methods.

And it has not been finished yet. At least two or three years, the country needs to allocate some money to improve this area.

In fact, this area is quite good. There are many big rivers, not only abundant resources, but also sandwiched between the original Dali and Guangnan. There is a little commercial exchanges, so the atmosphere of civilization is relatively not so backward. If you go deeper, you don’t know how much money you can fill in to improve those areas.

Of course, the significance of this victory cannot be rejected.

However, Miao Lu's performance is still not as good as that of Zhuang Shidao and Yao Xiong after next autumn...

Now Wang Ju didn't think about that country and China, and he had a headache. The focus of the Song Dynasty was still in the north and northwest.

But the focus is on the banking department at the moment.

A series of policies revolve around the banking department.

The overall situation is still relatively smooth.

Moreover, in order to avoid the fact that the scholars and officials in the world were going to attack him like Xining's reform, Wang Ju intentionally used An Tao as Zheng Xia, first brought An Tao to Shanzhou, and then used Zhu Chun's seemingly intentional or unintentional advice to "awaken" several usury merchants in Shanzhou.

And what makes people speechless is that Zhu Chun shook his head seemingly kind-heartedly. Banking departments are the general trend, so don’t let you lend usury again.

So until now, these gentry were locked in Kaifeng Prefecture prison, they did not expect Zhu Chun's role in the middle.

Then the gentry provoked An Tao's combat effectiveness, and An Tao dragged Fu Bi and other Luoyang elders into the water.

Well, the contradictions were aroused in advance and the various evil deeds of these usury merchants led to Fu Bi and others who wanted to object, but were inconvenient to object.

However, at this moment, Fu Bi died.

Actually, Wang Ju cannot be blamed. If Wang Ju hadn't deliberately invited the imperial physician to treat Fu Bi, Fu Bi would have passed away half a month ago. Wang Ju didn't know, but he just knew, who would say that he would go?

Wang Ju said that he would not kill, but that he would not want to die. If he did not die, he would not cause too much conflict. So although Wang Ju didn't know that this Fu Bi would die of illness, he still sent the imperial physician to Luoyang and issued an edict to comfort him, "Old Fu, you have to live for a while..."

However, if you are afraid of anything, the old rich will die. At this time, no matter whether Fu Bi died of illness or not, Wang Ju will be smelled of a fishy smell!

Lao Wang said uneasyly: "Why did the rich man die at this time?"

If it delays for a few more months, everyone knows that Fu Bi is seriously ill, and before Wang Ju comes back, Fu Bi starts to get sick, it has nothing to do with Wang Ju. However, it is neither too early nor too late, but it dies at this time. Wouldn't it be disgusting?

It soon had an impact.

On the third day, the Minister of Personnel Li Qingchen said: "Your Majesty, the Privy Council has been inactive for a long time, but it is inappropriate. I think an official should be sent to take it."

"Li Qing's words are extremely true. Prince and Duke, after returning, he wrote an edict to call Han Zhen the head of the head of the Privy Council."

In fact, in history, although the Song Dynasty established the Ministry of War, Sun Gu was appointed as the Tongzhi Privy Council. It was a matter or a man, so that the military affairs began to be transferred to the Ministry of War so that the prime minister could understand military affairs and would not make any mistakes in judgment.

However, due to the Wu Nan dispute, Zhao Xu wanted Wang Ju to come back, so he tactfully persuaded Sun Gu to retire, which led to the fact that the Privy Council had no leader.

However, Wang Judu has been back for so long, and Zhao Xu still has no idea of ​​abolishing the Privy Council. It seems that he really wants to keep the Privy Council.

So Li Qingchen's proposal cannot be said to be inappropriate, at least he cannot continue to sway like this. However, Wang Ju thought to himself that Han Zhen has taken over the Privy Council again, so what should the relevant military affairs be handled by the Privy Council or the Ministry of War?

Either continue to overthrow the Privy Council as before, or the Privy Council will overthrow the Ministry of War again?

Thinking of this, he glanced at Xu Jiang, who was also confused.

But the problem is not here. No matter how bad it is, is it that the entire Privy Council sways bad?

The real question is why Li Qingchen talked about the Privy Council at this time?

Sure enough, Li Qingchen said again: "Your Majesty, Fu Bi is dead."

There are only these few words.

We cannot directly impeach Wang Ju because Fu Bi started the attack first, and they came to Beijing with great momentum and wanted to strangle Wang Ju to death. Don’t mention the right or wrong of standing on the national standpoint. Does Fu Bi want to strangle Wang Ju to death, and Wang Ju shouldn’t fight back?

Even behind, Wang Ju was very polite and advised Zhao Xu to give Fu Bi the order of the Secretariat, and issued an edict to comfort him, and sent an imperial physician to Luoyang to treat Fu Bi in person.

What else should I do?

So Li Qingchen only said these words, but the intensity was just right.

Wang Ju sighed in his heart, I really want to win over these moderate factions from the old party. It seems that this time it is a delusion... (To be continued.)
