Ouyang Bian actually welcomed Fan Chunren's arrival. Fan Chunren and Sima Guang are both upright and honest ministers, and a country needs a loyal minister.

Although there are many powerful officials in the Xixia officials today, officials like Sima Guang and Fan Chunren are still very important.

And the important point is that Sima Guang and Fan Chunren have different identities.

Sima Guang is an older generation politician in the Song Dynasty, and Fan Chunren is also among this group of people. Moreover, Fan Chunren also inherited the reputation of his father Fan Zhongyan. If he could get the support of these two people, the reputation of Daxia would become more and more prosperous.

By then, occupying the area north of the Huai River in the Song Dynasty will achieve twice the result with half the effort.

The same problem that the occupying forces have always faced is the resistance of the people in the occupied areas. Although most of the people will cooperate, a small number of bloody people will stand up and fight to the end, and there has never been an exception.

India: Who do you look down on? I will not only surrender, but also resist. As long as you kill hundreds of millions of people, you will retreat, understand?

Therefore, if Sima Guang and Fan Chunren can be attracted to Daxia, then a lot of effort can be saved and even many officials from the occupied areas can be attracted to Daxia. At that time, the general situation will be achieved.

Therefore, when Ouyang Bian was concerned about military preparations, he did not delay the infiltration of Sima Guang and Fan Chunren.

Fan Chunren's personal freedom is not limited, but under surveillance, Sima Guang was idle and simply communicated with Fan Chunren.

"…Ouyang Bian's Xixia is indeed different."

Sima Guangdao.

Fan Chunren asked, "Oh, how do you differently?"

Sima Guang's expression was quite complicated: "The basic idea that ploughing people have their own fields and living people have their own houses..."

Fan Chunren smiled and said, "Isn't this a basic requirement? Don't the people of the Song Dynasty have it?"

Sima Guang smiled bitterly and said, "It's really not that simple. The people of the Song Dynasty have land that are not really land. The land is taxed very heavily, and there are many exploitation.

The land tax in Xixia is extremely low, and there are very few taxes, so there are basically no duplicate tax collection.

With the same harvest, the food that the people here can retain is at least 80% of the total income, while the people of the Song Dynasty were able to retain two or three times as much as they could.

This part of the gap is the key to whether the people can live well.

In Xixia, if the year is good, their life will be very good.

The year is different, and the company helps them bear the losses and survive the famine.

I don't know what will happen in the future, but wherever I see, it is a thriving group, and it is even better than I imagined.

Yaofu, do you know that there are special nursing homes and welfare homes here. Oh, nursing homes are for the elderly and widows, while welfare homes are for the maintenance of orphans.

In terms of education, six years of compulsory education is implemented. After six years of compulsory education, students have already learned to have basic survival ability.

Knowing literacy, numbers, and understanding superficial astronomy and geography is already considered half a scholar, and this is what benefit all children. In other words, starting from this generation of children, everyone is literate!”

Fan Chunren was still in a resistant attitude at first, but when he heard about education, his eyes gradually changed.

They are all true scholars. For Confucian disciples, having teachings without distinction and enlightenment are their lifelong pursuits.

Are there many scholars in the Song Dynasty?

Actually, there are really many.

But this is mostly because the number of people is piled up, and the proportion is not high. Most families with a few children can study are really wealthy. The so-called farming and reading are passed down from family. It is impossible to work without thousands of acres of land at home.

In most cases, a family supports a scholar.

Studying requires full-time work, and the various expenses of scholars are extremely burdensome for ordinary families, so many families do not even have to support a scholar or a juren, and most of them do not even know how to read.

There were public schools in the Song Dynasty, but most of them were private schools. Because the court could not afford so much school expenses, the opportunity for children to study was not so easy.

This makes the six years of compulsory education in Xixia valuable.

This is an education that every child can receive. Although he may not be able to become a scholar, he is well-educated. Such a world should be beautiful, right?

Fan Chunren said: "Although Xixia is good, it is not the Song Dynasty after all."

Sima Guang sighed and said, "Yes, it's not the Song Dynasty after all."

After saying this, both of them became quiet.

After a while, Fan Chunren said: "After saying so much, there are always bad things, right?"

Sima Guang nodded: "Of course, it is also endangering the foundation of the country."

Fan Chunren was excited: "What is it?"

Sima Guang whispered: "Let the crown prince!"

Fan Chunren said in confusion: "I remember that Ouyang Bian only has one legitimate son, and he is already in his teens. Is there anything else that is not sure about?"

Sima Guang shook his head and said, "It seems that this is not the reason, because it is strange that Ouyang Bian not only did not establish a crown prince, but even Mrs. Xue did not give him the title of queen. Then his brothers did not win the title of king, and his nephews also did not give him rewards. He only gave Fu the title of queen, which really made people wonder what he thought."

Fan Chunren became confused. What is the operation?

What is the operation of an emperor not giving gifts to his family? It is a matter that no officials would object to his family. Even if they are relatives, they can be granted some idle officials. This will not be opposed by anyone. This is considered the emperor's privilege.

"Although Ouyang Bian is still young now, there are hidden dangers if he didn't confirm his successor earlier. This is the bad thing about Daxia."

"What about the others?" Fan Chunren asked.

“Other…”

Sima Guang thought for a while and shook his head and said, "...The others are probably very good. Although there are still many problems now, it is just because the quality of the officials is not high enough.

The basic implementation of policies here is very good. Xixia has strict supervision over the rule of officials, and the rights and responsibilities correspond to each official. The responsibilities of each official are very clear, and responsibilities can basically be implemented to people.

If something goes wrong, you can hold the officials responsible for the matter accountable at any time. This is to encourage every official to do his job well. If he dereliction of duty, he will be dismissed at any time."

Fan Chunren couldn't help but be shocked: "Will this be too strict? Is there anyone willing to become an official?"
