Emperor Zhao Xu was silent. Wang Jinghui did not mention these words this year, especially when he was talking with Sima Guang, he was also very moved when he saw the articles in the newspaper. Emperor Zhao Xu, who had been living in an environment of discriminatory philosophical officials, had never paid attention to these things, so he ignored the fundamental technology of Wang Jinghui's rapid rise!

"Can you teach me? What are the benefits of this technology for the bad policies facing the Song Dynasty now?!" said Emperor Zhao Xu.

"Master, I'm fine with this question. I've already talked about these principles many times, especially when I went to Hangzhou, I debated with Mr. Junshi in the newspaper. Thinking about it, I'm afraid not many people can remember it now!" Wang Jinghui said helplessly.

When Emperor Zhao Xu heard Wang Jinghui say this, the face of Emperor Zhao Xu turned red. He agreed that Wang Jinghui was just out of favor for the prince-consort. Even if he made a promise, he would only increase the income of the craft officials. However, he really did not take any practical actions on his social status.

"Sage, my Song Dynasty has suppressed land annexation for more than a hundred years since the founding of Taizu Dynasty. There were some major problems at the beginning, but after a hundred years of accumulation, it can be seen that its disadvantages are seen - a large number of farmers have lost the land on which they depend for survival!"

"Does the reform want to curb land annexation?!"

Wang Jinghui smiled and said, "Although the emperor favors his ministers and cherishes his ministers, I understand very well. In the past, Chao Cuo of the Han Dynasty suggested that he should reduce the vassal states, but the result was a disaster for his own death. His original intention was not wrong. However, the method of action was wrong, and even more wrong was that Chao Cuo wanted to kill Yuan Ang and put the emperor in danger. Therefore, Chao Cuo's tragic ending was destined from the beginning, and this was a grudge against others! Land annexation was one of the major disadvantages that could be avoided in previous dynasties. Almost all dynasties adopted the method of suppressing this, just like the heavy water control in ancient times. Emperor Taizu was far-sighted and did not come up with a solution to this, but he did the opposite and suppressed the earth.

Land annexation can lead to a path. This is a guide from Dayu's flood control strategy. If I suggest that the emperor adopt a policy of suppressing land annexation, I am afraid that the government order will not leave Biandu. I will be in a different position to thank the world! I have mentioned to the emperor that the change of the king will change the distribution of interests of the entire Song Dynasty. At the beginning, I was fiercely opposed by the ministers in the court. If I attack the land, the disaster caused by the land will be thousands of greater than that of the king. If it can really solve the problem, I will be able to take this head, but this is just a futile sacrifice. It is useless to compensate the situation. Therefore, it is just a dream to suppress land annexation today. This is enough!"

"Change it, you are not wrong, but I am confused. Is land annexation one of the bad policies of the court now?" Emperor Zhao Xu asked in confusion.

"The emperor is anxious! I haven't finished it yet! In fact, there are two ways to solve the land problem. One is that the court enlists more land. Now it seems that the distant water saves the nearby fire. Moreover, the territory ruled by the court is too large. Due to backward transportation, the local government knows that the central government is difficult to control the local government. If you do it well, there will be a situation of separatist vassal states. Being cautious will cause a disaster, so seizure of more land may not be a good thing!" Wang Jinghui said with a smile.

Emperor Zhao Xu nodded in agreement. Although in the eyes of the world, the larger the territory of the country, the better, only a few people knew that the larger the territory would lead to a capsized ship. In the past, Wang Jinghui and Emperor Zhao Xu had not listened to the prince's explanation of this issue when they were chatting. At first, they felt it was a bit incredible, but after careful consideration, they realized that the fact was indeed the case.

"What about the second way?"

"Develop industry and commerce! It is also acre of land, which is enough for farming to grow more than ten acres of land, but if it is used to build workshops, restaurants, and inns, it can accommodate more people to work in it to support their families. More importantly, farming depends on the weather and food. If there is drought or flooding, it will cause trouble. If it is done well, it will be a pellet harvest. However, industry and commerce are the same. As long as the things can be sold, it will be worrying. When I first arrived in Biandu, I saw that no one in the city, no matter the wealth, no one in the city was burning wages.

I often rely on peat. I saw that there were 30,000 people digging peat in the place where the peat deposits in Kaifeng, Biandu were supplied. I also heard that nearly 100,000 people could gather in the south of the copper mine and other minerals to participate in the work! The emperor can calculate the calculations. Now the imperial court is in the northwest. The 60,000 fang army was detained in the first year to farm. Now I have gained something. How much land is needed? Each person is 90 acres! I privately think that the only way to solve the land problem of the Song Dynasty in a short period of time is to develop industry and commerce!"

Emperor Zhao Xu was silent for a while and said, "The idea of ​​changing is even more amazing than King Xiang. Although I haven't tried it, I can justify myself and make people pick out flaws." Emperor Zhao Xu turned to a smile and said, "Does Gaizhi want to do a reform like King Xiang in the Song Dynasty to experiment?!"

Wang Jinghui smiled and said, "Master, I don't have the courage of Wang Xiang. Besides, I still have the family law of my ancestors watching, so I have no idea. Then again, the Song Dynasty is now moving in this direction, and the effect is wrong!"

"What does it mean to change?"

"The Master, when I was in Chuzhou, I used oil presses and textile machinery to produce many landless farmers. The edible oil and cotton cloth they produced had been sold to the Song Dynasty. Even the rice cookers of the Liao people were also used in the place where the Chuzhou merchants produced? Moreover, through overseas trade, merchants sold most of the cloth of the Song Dynasty to Goryeo, Japan, and South China countries in order to make greater profits! The next soap production will absorb more people. After counting, only these few eye-catching things can solve the problem of the young people in the Song Dynasty!"

Emperor Zhao Xu thought for a while and smiled happily: "It turns out that the layout has been completed in the past few years. Just as the husbands of the Political Affairs Hall praised you so much, you really have the ability to turn into a spring breeze and rain!"

Wang Jinghui bowed and said, "Master, the layout of the minister is actually missing an important son, it depends on the Master!"

"What else is my dear? Even if you say it!"

"The status of a craft official!"

"Well?! My dear is really stubborn. My dear once said that Wang Jiefu and Sima Jun are really stubborn old men. In my opinion, my dear two gentlemen are stubborn in my heart!"

"The Master is joking!" Wang Jinghui sneaked the sweat beads on his forehead - his nicknames of slandering Wang Anshi and Sima Guang may have been spread like this, otherwise the two old guys would have to fight with him. "The Master does this so badly, the gentleman's style!"

Emperor Zhao Xu blushed after hearing this - this nickname was reported by people in the Prince Consort's Mansion. It was originally a joke, but the Prince Consort didn't tell the door, so it was just for teasing. After thinking about it, this was a matter between the couple, and he got involved to embarrass the Prince Consort.

Wang Jinghui saw the embarrassing expression of Emperor Zhao Xu and joked: "My 'stubbornness' is really a matter of his own efforts. You must know that a person's power is limited in the end, and there are countless local craftsmen in the Song Dynasty. Only by mobilizing their intelligence and inventing and advent can the roads opened up wider. It is just novel objects. There are also channels - the sea transportation, river transportation, land transportation, etc. of the Song Dynasty, and it takes a long time to see the effect."

"We can wait!" Emperor Zhao Xu said with a smile.

"Wait?!" Wang Jinghui could simply believe that this word was spoken from the mouth of Emperor Zhao Xu, "Sir, we have a lot of time, but the Song Dynasty did not have so much time! After two major setbacks in Dashun City and Dingbian Army, the main force was exhausted. Only Li Qing's group of Xijun still threatened the Song Dynasty, but when the Dangxiang people were in a civil strife, Li Qing also had no choice but to deal with Li Qing, and Li Qing was really troubled. Our Song Dynasty wanted to take advantage of the rare opportunity to develop vigorously in recent years, and strive to completely solve the Northwest problem within three to five years when the Dangxiang people were seriously injured. This is the best strategy! To accelerate the development of our Song Dynasty's national strength, in addition to relying on the Wang Xiang's transformation and strengthening, our Song Dynasty's craft officials also vigorously expand new weapons and new commodities to seek national benefits for the Song Dynasty!"

"Li Qing is a trouble?" This is the first time Emperor Zhao Xu heard this. When asked in the past, only generals like Guo Kui who fought with the Dangxiang people head-only shook their heads. Even Wang Jinghui admitted that Li Qing was a strong enemy, so why did he become a "suffering" at this time?

Emperor Zhao Xu knew that Wang Jinghui had always spoken falsely and asked curiously: "Li Qing was rigorous in governing the army and promoted it personally for the Xia Lord Liangzuo. I heard that Guo Kui once praised the army for being very powerful. What good plans do you have to do with me?!"

Wang Jinghui shook his head and said, "Li Qing's mistake is at the end of his strength. I have some ways to deal with him. The easiest way to do this is to spread rumors! I heard that after Empress Dowager Dangxiang Liang forgave the death of Dashun City, he began to commit adultery in the palace. Dangxiang people also know it. However, due to the great strength of Liang in Dangxiang, the Empress Dowager Liang is also very taboo. The emperor only needs to let those "Monks Dangxiang" talk a few more words, and he is still afraid that Li Qing will be eliminated?! Even if Li Qing dares to return to Xingqing Prefecture since then, during the civil strife of Dangxiang, Li Qing, as a Han Chinese, will be regarded as a thorn in the side of the Empress Dowager Liang. Li Qing has a good defense of Chinese and foreigners and has always been in harmony with the Dangxiang nobles in his country. The emperor may instigate or frame them. Li Qing will sooner or later throw the head in Xixia!"

“It’s that simple?!”

"Some things that can be done on the battlefield are just to do something outside the battlefield! In the past, the Qin army fought in the Qin Dynasty and Zhao army, and just a rumor buryed 400,000 Zhao troops alive. Zhao State has been in a slump since then, and it is surprising that it is used on Li Qing today!"

Emperor Zhao Xu smiled and said, "People say that the prince-in-law Wen Qian is like an ancient gentleman, but now he has such a strange and strange plan..."

"For the people of the Song Dynasty, you can always save the disaster of war and the slaves of the barbarians. You can get this head. What's the use of a mere voice?!" Wang Jinghui said seriously, "You should make up your mind early to improve the status of the wise officials, so as not to get the water boiled, but find that there is no rice in the pot!"

"I have argued with you. I believe that your plan can revive my Song Dynasty. Today I have fulfilled my promise to you. Just as you always say, you have to eat one bite at a time. It is not a matter of low status for craftsmen. Even my ancestors of all generations of Song Dynasty are the same. I need time to come step by step. I promise you that you will wait too long!" Emperor Zhao Xu said with a smile.

Emperor Zhao Xu finally began to make up his mind to comprehensively improve the status of craft officials. This was just because today he finally understood the reasons for the layout of the prince-consort since he grew up, and solved many very difficult problems. It was also because from the experience of the prince-consort, craft officials played an important role in promoting the development of the Song Dynasty's national strength. Wang Jinghui's persistence may not be correct, but this persistence touched Emperor Zhao Xu. After rounds of confrontations, Emperor Zhao Xu wanted to see the artillery that could reduce the soldiers guarding the city by half but still be able to defend the city firmly. He wanted to see the social wealth created by craft officials. All of this must be based on improving the social status of craft officials and inspiring their spirit of striving for progress. In the past, he could have perfunctory Wang Jinghui, but once he reached the crossroads where decisions were made, Emperor Zhao Xu finally made his own judgment.

On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month of the first year of Xining in the Song Dynasty, Emperor Zhao Xu, on the second day after meeting with the son-in-law, he issued an edict to the Secretariat and the two provinces under the jurisdiction of the Secretariat, that officials of the sect can be matched with fish. The ministers of the Political Affairs Hall of the Secretariat were shocked after receiving the edict. In the past, such edicts would cause such great vibrations, but the people in the Political Affairs Hall were the last winners in the ups and downs of the officialdom. They smelled the smell of the emperor's intention to improve the status of the sectatious officials. Thinking of the sued by the son-in-law Wang Jinghui and Sima Guang a few months ago, it is conceivable that Emperor Zhao Xu finally turned to the son-in-law Wang Jinghui on this issue. To improve the status of the sectatious officials, this edict was only the first step!

"Master, this is only afraid of Yu Lihe!"

Sima Guang said to Emperor Zhao Xu in a peaceful tone, but his eyes were focused on Wang Jinghui, the son-in-law who was specially allowed to enter the Political Affairs Hall. After a few months ago, Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo and the son-in-law Wang Jinghui had a conversation in the "Mirror of the Song Dynasty", no one in the world knew that the advocate of improving the status and treatment of officials of craftsmen was Xiao Wang. Wang Jinghui, as an advocate, was specially allowed to go to the Political Affairs Hall of the Secretariat by Emperor Zhao Xu. This trip was not a relaxing and pleasant thing for Wang Jinghui - this was the last battle and the beginning battle!

"Since the first year of Yongxi, civil and military officials from both sides were wearing fish. Those who were promoted to the court, those who were promoted to the court wore fish bags; those who were given purple would give gold and silver; those who were given purple would give special gifts. Even officials of Beijing and county officials would give purple and purple would give purple. However, the philosophers did not have this treatment. In May of the sixth year of Dazhong Xiangfu, Emperor Zhenzong issued an edict: Those who were given fish would be allowed to remain. Since then, those who were promoted to the court should be given purple and purple would give fish bags!" Sima Guang was knowledgeable and well-known and familiar with the allusions of this dynasty. The quotations made everyone think in his heart that this was indeed a little troublesome.

In the Song Dynasty, "Purple must wear fish, which is called Zhang." Even if a philosopher official gives a philosopher, a philosopher person can wear fish. According to the Song people, there is no law, and it is almost no different from an official. It can be seen that the low status of a philosopher official is as good as a literati, and can only be compared with a sergeant. Wang Jinghui relies on his strong memory to know that what Sima Guang said is true, and he has done his homework and put some effort into the official system of the Song Dynasty.

"You are the true master. Students think that after improving the status and treatment of technicians, they can better stimulate their potential and invent more powerful weapons. Why does this make things that are beneficial to the country?!"

"Hmph! It's just a cannon that I don't need!"

After hearing this, Wang Jinghui smiled and said, "The artillery is being trial-making. This is a very troublesome thing. Students dare to use this. Please let me listen to it and calculate the account. Today, when land annexation is over one day, a large number of farmers have no land to plant, and every time the thieves are cut off, all the ministers of the Song Dynasty know, who is willing to be a thief? The ordinary people are cut off because of the hope of life, and they have no choice but to become a thief!"

"Can people improve their status as craft officials avoid the people being thieves?"

"No, but it is the key to solving the problem! My husbands all know that I like to make some strange things, but have you ever thought about the meaning behind these strange things?!"

Wang Jinghui took out a piece of olive soap from his sleeve and said to everyone: "This was invented when he went to Hangzhou. It was used to clean clothes and clean the land soap for bathing. According to the regular calculation of five people per household in the Song Dynasty, each household should use at least one piece per month, and there are more families in the wealthy family. To meet the soap used in a city with 50,000 people, a soap workshop of three or four hundred people must be established. However, there are thirty or forty cities with a population of more than 200,000 in the Song Dynasty, and the soap workshop in Kaifeng, Biandu is more than a thousand people! It can be foreseen that with this small piece of soap, Da Song can absorb it.
Chapter completed!
