Chapter 791 Nine Beggars and Ten Confucians(1/2)

"Xuan Liu Zhi, Liang Tao, and An Tao entered the palace.

So in just a few decades, he was expelled from Zhu Chongba.

"Or can you say that we are not the same party and the other party, but you are the ones who attack you, but I am really a treacherous. In the past two years, for the banking department and the country, I have been in peace day and night. Now I am gradually becoming more and more determined. I will go to Shaanxi in a few months. Or you say that that is the most dangerous time, with reputation in the country and heavy troops in the country, which will be unfavorable to the country. Yes, I will hold heavy troops in the hands of the Shaanxi Route Army, but after I complete the reorganization of the Shaanxi Route Army, I will use troops to Xixia again. When the Western Xia is pacified and basically stable, I even have to escape overseas to avoid suspicion. As we are at this point, it is still a treacherous. Three, I ask you, what kind of ministers are the pillars of the country and the loyal ministers of the country!"

In fact, this passage is not only for these three people, but also for others and for Zhao Xu.

Otherwise, after going to Shaanxi, there might be villains behind him.

"Donalds, the vastness of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River is because they do not choose any stream. No matter which river these tributaries come from, they are all well integrated, so they have been flowing for millions of years. The height of Mount Tai is because they do not distinguish between earth and rock, and they regard them as their cornerstones, so they have been standing for millions of years. Besides, it is our dynasty, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River are just a small area of ​​our dynasty. If the ministers are forcibly divided into new and old parties, or even the Shu party, Luo party, Guan party, Shu party and the Southern party, and then the people are divided into southern and northern people, no matter how they are governed, the country will quickly split."

Wang Ju's words were very thoughtful.

But these three people didn't appreciate it.

Not to mention that they were frightened and scared on the sea. After they arrived at the other side, they had no abuse of their diet, but they did not receive any respect.

They are arrogant, is it okay to disrespect them?

Therefore, even though Wang Ju recalled them, the three of them still held grudges. After hearing something, they immediately found Li Qingchen.

"Mr. Li, my court was defeated again in Wuyanxia?"

Li Qingchen nodded solemnly.

All six ministries have appointed ministers, but not each ministries have appointed ministers. Only two or three ministries have appointed ministers, but in the end, they are ministers, not ministers. There are only seven and a half people in the real ministers, one of the two kings of the Secretariat, Cai Zhang, two ministers of the Secretariat, two ministers of the Secretariat, and half of them. Han Zhen, although Han Zhen is the same Privy Council, his power has been reduced infinitely... he can barely be considered half of the prime minister.

However, this has nothing to do with the Minister of the Six Ministry, nor has it to do with the Minister of the Six Ministry. They are just executive agencies.

Therefore, the Tianwang Ju told the whole plan, and officials from the Six Departments of the Shangshu were not included.

So Li Qingchen didn't know the truth either.

However, there was no need to cover up the defeat of Wuyanxia. Instead, it was spread out and reached the ears of the three people who were staying in the inn and waiting for the imperial court arrangements.

"Mr. Li, what is a magistrate? Can we manage the affairs of a state? However, when we arrived at the other side, we were like a puppet. Are we not a magistrate, but a prisoner?" Liang Tao said angrily.

You are like being offenders, but Li Qingchen has a good relationship with these three people, so how can I say it? He said: "Mr. Liang, Duke An, Duke Liu, since he is back, there is no need to induce Prince An, and he was also for the banking department at that time."

"It's just a move to make money." Liu Zhi said disdainfully.

"Mr. Liu, to be honest, the banking department is really good, but I am very worried about Wuyanxia." Li Qingchen said.

He is also an old party.

However, Wang Ju repeatedly benefited the people, so he could no longer attack him to make money.

In addition, the purple notes that many old parties hate are not called purple notes, but forcibly letting foreign relatives and powerful people pay taxes.

However, with nearly 200 million loans, half of them flowed into the hands of the foreign relatives and powerful people, as their capital to expand their industries, and nearly half of them flowed into the hands of small and medium-sized merchants, and they bought many workshops. Therefore, this year's purple banknotes still reached 60% of the scale, but this cannot be taken too seriously. Most of the main things are that many small and medium-sized merchants have entrusted their industrial income to the names of foreign relatives and powerful people to avoid taxes. The original shrinkage of the red banknotes has stopped, but it is not actually stopped, because many small and medium-sized merchants continue to entrust the industries to the names of the powerful people. In fact, as long as it does not shrink anymore, it means their expansion. At the same time, there is another place that can be seen, that is, when the implementation of the quasi-trade tax, the amount of the red banknotes shrank sharply, but since this spring, the number of the red banknotes has surged again.

This is one aspect.

There is another aspect.

Due to various people-friendly policies, the wealth in the hands of the people has increased a little. Last year, the equivalent of 15 million chunks of cloth was used for infrastructure construction, not only for the construction of Wanchunwei, but also mainly for the roads and bridges of various states. With money in hand and roads convenient, transactions will undoubtedly be expanded.

This led to another increase in income.

Wang Ju first introduced the Fangchang River Du system. Wang Anshi further improved it and even took out the Kongwang Temple as a market for the people to trade, and then handed it over to private contracting, and the country made profits from it, which made Zhang Fangping criticized it.

The shortest time is three years. It is five years long, and some business hours take longer, which can last ten or twenty years. For example, another contracting business that Wang Juqiu will launch soon...that is twenty years!

And it is not a one-time contract. Therefore, at the beginning of spring every year, each state must re-enter the bid and re-auction the due Fangchang Hedu.

However, because the transaction has expanded under the stimulus of various policies of the court, the winning bid after the spring of this year was just the market. The amount soared by more than 373,600 volts, which is the new volt. If it is the old volt, it will be almost 500,000 volts!

If it weren't for Wang Ju, everyone might not have noticed it.

However, with Wang Ju, there was an explanation.

And Wang Ju said, now is the beginning, and under the stimulation of these policies, Fangchang Hedu's income will increase.

For example, the increase in each workshop will undoubtedly derive more commercial taxes. The increase in each pit mine will undoubtedly obtain more extractions. The increase in transaction volume will not only obtain more commercial taxes, but the transaction volume of each market is also expanding, so the court also receives more contracting fees.

Therefore, the court continued to introduce various policies of light taxes and low taxes, lenient taxes on the people, but the country's income did not decrease.

This is what is called "no taxes are added and the country uses it for its own use.

And now, for the sake of the Western Xia, the court is still making money. Once the Western Xia incident is in progress, the court will further lenient taxes. The Song Dynasty will come. Then Wang Ju sighed intentionally: "If it weren't for the first two defeats, the court could withdraw at least 100 million lunar coins of money, then in the past two years, nearly 100 million lunar coins can be transferred. It will be used for the various prefectures to build roads and water conservancy, and various taxes such as transfers can be removed. Maybe the real lunar governance will be achieved next year."

What is Dazhi?

What everyone understands is the Wenjing administration recorded in exaggerated techniques in history books. The grain in each warehouse is too high to put down, and the ropes for money are rotten. Because the people are rich, they do not close their doors at night and do not pick up their remains on the road.

Although Li Qingchen was an old party, he also longed for such great governance.

If Wang Ju came back and said this, everyone would not believe it. However, this year, 90% of the ministers had to believe it.

Although it cannot be said to be a major treatment, at least it has gradually come to a small treatment.

Under such circumstances, even the elderly in Luoyang who were reluctant to leave Luoyang and continued to "revise books", did not dare to say anything. If these three good friends continue to "deal with the wind", the outcome would be even worse.

Therefore, Li Qingchen warned again: "The banking department really can't attack anymore. Wang Zi'an did a good job on this. If you don't believe it, you can observe it for a while."

This time is not the other time, this year is not the year before.

"As for the miserable defeat in Wuyanxia, ​​Your Majesty did not say anything. Even though the minister wrote a letter to express his concern, don't say anything more."

Li Qingchen also wrote a letter, saying that it is very good now, it is indeed very good, and he cannot speak with conscience, and is really unfair to stand up for usury... or if he imposes commercial taxes from the powerful, the court is also making humble, so there is no need to add to it.

As long as this year passes, there will be a year to rest next year, the national "small treatment" will probably come. Then, let's cut summer.

Even when Li Qingchen saw that Xie Jingwen and Fu Shaoting had recruited him one after another, Fu Shaoting reused him as the Sanmen Shipping Envoy.

Later, An Tao and the other two were just quitting overseas, and now they have been recalled. Li Qingchen thought that Wang Ju's three years of prime minister's term had almost come to a perfect end in his internal governance.

At this critical moment, why did the court inexplicably build a city in the enemy's territory?

Li Qingchen can't understand.

…………

"Brother Heizi, are you afraid?" Guo Xiaosi asked tremblingly at the dark enemy.

"Xiao Si, you can't be afraid. The more you are afraid, the more you die." said the man named Heizi.

As soon as he finished speaking, a row of rock bullets fell down.

Pingxia City is very big, and four urns were built in advance, so the subsequent walls and moats were not repaired.

The city wall was not repaired, it must be uneven. Although the soldiers and the civilians hid behind the city wall together, if the stone bullet fell down, if the position of the stone bullet fell down was in an uneven place of the city wall and was a concave side in the middle, although the city wall removed part of the force of the stone bullet falling down, it would still hurt more than a dozen soldiers after it rolled down.

Just now, a civilian was hit by a rolled stone bullet and lying on the ground in pain. He was then carried to the camp in the center of the city by others for treatment.

Therefore, Guo Xiaosi's face became even paler.

"Xiao Si, I see that you are usually very smart and polite, how can you be so afraid?" The man named Heizi sneered.

But this cannot be called a joke, but a joke.

Guo Xiaosi said: "Why don't we have tiger squatting?"

"I don't know."

The Huju cannon was invented by Wang Ju. But what Guo Xiaosi and the man named Heizi Ge didn't know was that the Huju cannon had stopped production.

Don’t ask how high the cost of artillery is. In the Ming Dynasty, it might be called cost, but in the Song Dynasty, is it still called cost?

In fact, the catapult and thunderbolt bomb have become a history. The gunpowder pack is not history, but it is only used in the construction of roads and pit mines, so the imperial court stopped production. As for the original tiger-rest cannon, it was gradually transferred to Hedong and Hebei for defense. However, on the side of Shaanxi Road, new cannons were gradually replaced.

However, this inside story is not something Guo Xiaosi and Heizi Ge can know.

But it was not actually a tiger-hiding cannon. Yes, Xixia did capture many tiger-hiding cannons, but the number was limited. No matter what Li Xian's army was, the actual army was isolated outside Hexi during the attack on Xia, and had some losses, but it could not be called heavy losses. It was not Zhong Yan's collapsed army. Although the three armies collapsed, some sharp weapons were taken away by Zhong Yan. The main source of the armor was still from outside Lingzhou City. Xixia broke the Yellow River embankment, causing heavy losses to the soldiers under Gao Zunyu and Liu Changzuo, and at the same time, they lost a large number of armor.

But in Xiwencheng, Liu Fa looked at Xia Jun and asked in confusion: "General Guo, how many vine shields come from Xixia?"

Whether it is the tiger's estuary cannon or the divine arm bow, Liu Fa can understand that Gao Zunyu is the main force. The more soldiers the three armies lost, the more armor the Xixia got. However, the vine shield is different. It is lighter than water. Although the Xixia water flooded the Song army, many vine shields floated away.

It’s not that Xixia does not produce vines, but I want to make vine shields. It’s still the ancient vine from the south. Although Xixia has vines, this vine is not suitable for making vine shields.

It is actually very simple to win the battle in Yongle City.

If you want to break through Pingxia City, the first difficulty is this moat. Because it is close to Hulu River, the water vapor is wet, and in summer, there is plenty of water and rain. Although the moat of the moat was brought from Hulu River, if the water from Hulu River is filled, the trench will not be sold.

Fortunately, the width of the trench was limited, so the first difficulty in Xixia was to fill the trench on many trench bridges so that the second step could be achieved and the city wall was destroyed. It was difficult to build and easily destroyed. Therefore, Xixia used the Song Dynasty tiger cannons captured by the attack to shock the military and civilians in the city.

Then the second step is to fill some of the trenches, with a large shield in front, that is, the large wooden shield in Xixia, and behind them are archers. Many archers use compound bows captured from the Song Dynasty.

It doesn't matter. There is also the key behind. The purpose of doing this is to cover the soldiers who fill the trench with mud bags.

It is not a question of the difficulty of filling the trench. The water flow here is smooth and it is not a big problem. At most, just block the water source upstream, and the trench is not wide because the water flow is clear. Although you can vaguely see some caltrops and other things inside, which are disgusting, as long as you fill this trench dozens, you can enter the second step and destroy the city wall.

Pingxia City is much larger than Yongle City, but not many civilians have been used. The city wall has not been repaired now. More than 100,000 Xia troops came, and it was not very difficult to destroy it.

So in this plain land, what did the nearly 20,000 soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty use to guard the fence?

This is all in reality, mainly the Fuji Shield.

Let’s not talk about the defects of the Mu Shield, just talk about these Xixia soldiers who filled the trenches. The Mu Shield at most covers the moat in front of the moat. What should I do?

However, there are many vine shields in Xixia now. They are holding a vine shield to protect themselves, carrying mud bags, and just throwing them to the moat. If there are a small number of vine shields, Liu Fa is not surprised. The key is that almost every soldier who fills the trench in Xixia now has a vine shield. So where do so many vine come from?

This shows that some illegal merchants sold ancient vines produced in the southern part of the Song Dynasty to Xixia, and even sold them to Xixia people.
To be continued...
