Chapter 210: Confrontation

In addition to this, another thing has become popular. It is the serial novel Sleepwalking. Sleepwalking has become a popular object for young people, especially young men and women who pursue love freedom. Two episodes have been serialized and sold 200,000 copies. These two volumes mainly describe Mengsheng's story of helping a young man and a woman who has lovers finally got married in the country of xx. With Mengsheng's help, the man finally owns his own business through various hardships and unremitting efforts, and was finally accepted in the story of confronting the woman's father's business. At present, the man is still an apprentice, while the woman's parents try every means to make things difficult for the man. It contains the modern Taiwan and Hong Kong love model, and there are also traditional Chinese inspirational legends. It is quite satisfying to read.

As for the incident of Li Ganshun's destruction, since Xingqingzhou had not yet established a Criminal Division, Zhao Yu instructed the former Privy Council of Privy Council Zhang Xuanming to investigate the case. He raised it gently and fell down gently, and a generation of kings was destroyed. In an interview with the Royal Daily, Zhang Xuanming said that according to the investigation, it was an attack taken by the Western Xia tribes who were dissatisfied with Li Ganshun's unilateral surrender and ruined the century-old foundation of Xixia. As for which tribe was still under investigation, but there was already a general direction and a suspected tribe. However, in order to stabilize national sentiment, moderate measures must be used to request tribe cooperation, so it will take some time to make a substantial judgment on the case.

Zhang Xuanming really didn't expect that the fill-in-the-blank question that Ouyang wrote was actually given to Li Gang as a murder tool. This made him stuck halfway and unable to move forward or backward. Fortunately, Zhao Yu supported him after understanding the inside story.

Ouyang slowly returned to Tokyo, Zhao Yu asked him to go to court. At the court meeting, Ouyang described the peace talks in the Western Xia War, and then roughly described the current situation in Western Xia.

"Due to the follow-up of business, a large number of idle people have found jobs. In cities at the prefecture and county level, it is still relatively stable at present. However, there are also some ethnic sentiments, and Han workers and Dangxiang workers often have some minor conflicts. In response to these, the Jiedu Yamen has informed the owners of the various parties that they must control the provocations of the Dangxiang people in particular of the foreman's verbal provocations against the Dangxiang people. However, everyone knows that the Han people are a bit pretentious in this battle and look down on the Xixia people, so there are still minor conflicts. However, the prefectures and counties are changing household registrations and registering Dangxiang and other tribe members into Chinese."

Cai Jing interrupted and asked, "Mr. Ou, I'm afraid that it's not something that can be convinced in just a few words, right?"

"Yes, although non-Han people have a sense of failure, if they are suppressed, it is easy to stir up civil unrest. Therefore, the prefectures and counties adopted the Huairou policy in accordance with the interim measures of Xiaguan. Each person who changes household registration will be 30 kilograms of grain, and each family will be subsidized by 30 kilograms of grain. All expenditures will be borrowed from Yangping Money House by the local government, and will be repaid by tax collection in the future. According to the Yangping Plan, if the local peace is maintained, the latest one will only take three years to pay off."

Cai Jing asked again: "How effective?"

"If you go back to Cai Xiang, take the three counties near Xingqingzhou as an example. Within ten days, 70% of the people voluntarily completed the household registration procedures. The Xiaguan has recruited literate people from the army to help the magistrate and the Ministry of Revenue officials. According to estimates, in three months, the number of residents who have registered in the household registration can reach 90%. Now Li Han and Li are building schools in Northwest Road. Since their names are private schools, they are currently only accepting Chinese children. According to the knowledge of Xiaguan, children under the age of twelve can change their household registration for two months. "

Cai Jing nodded and said to Zhao Yu: "I have retired before, and Your Majesty has always rude that there is no one to take over. It is the most suitable thing for Lord Ou to take over."

Ouyang hurriedly said, "Cai Xiang joked that the right prime minister is a position that is inferior to one person and above ten thousand people. He requires both moral integrity and talent. The time for the lower-ranking officials to enter the official position is still short, and the official style is not good, so he is forced to act because of His Majesty's favor. How dare he be a minister to worship the prime minister?"

Zhao Yu was in a good mood today. After all, she ordered Ouyang. When Ouyang did good things, her face was also glorious. When she saw Ouyang talking and laughing, she said, "Cai Xiang, you don't know, Ouyang is lazy by nature. He wants him to go from nine to five, and he will have to go from morning court every few days, so he will not do it. For this matter in the court, Cai Xiang is also asked to take more responsibility."

Cai Jing knew that Moji was just pretentious, so he nodded: "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, I will devote myself to my whole life until I die." The main reason for his resignation was that the power in his hands was divided. As a foolish monarch, Zhao Yu, of course, would not make people have too much power. Don't underestimate the power of the ministers. The succession of several emperors has a lot to do with the attitude of the ministers.

Wang Fu debuted: "Mr. Ou served as an imperial envoy in the northwest and has also served as the chief officer of the northwest mission many times. And the master only talks about the affairs of the prefectures and counties in the northwest, and what about the countryside?"

"The countryside is not optimistic." Ouyang said: "They mostly live on nomadic life and raise livestock for their lives. And they are not like Han people, they have fixed houses. Most of them have tents and changed places. The original sand, melon, Xiliang and other places are mainly farming, and they are bound by land, so management is relatively simple. However, in these rural areas, the land is barren and the loess is difficult to plant. Without planting, there is no land, and without land, it is difficult to manage the people, so the countryside is still relatively chaotic. However, Xiaguan made a plan and believed that there will be greater improvements in one or two years."

Zhao Yu asked: "What plan?"

Ouyang said: "Although the northwest military road can also be grazed, it cannot form large-scale breeding. Therefore, Weichen contacted the leather merchants of the Yangping Business Association and will open four fur purchase points in the northwest and open retail commodity trading points in these four places. Maybe they can be self-sufficient in everything, but salt cannot be self-sufficient. According to regulations, not everyone can buy official salt. If they need to buy official salt, one person must register a Chinese family. Then they will take some small favors and methods to slowly tie them up, such as setting up a winter away from the cold at these four points. But it will take at least one year to achieve results. However, Weichen believes that their scattered life will not affect the management of officials in the Song Dynasty too much."

"Well, after the battle is over, we still have to appease me." Zhao Yuken Ouyang's gentle approach, but raised his own question: "What's wrong with you promoting local officials who are not imperial examinations without authorization?"

This problem is the key to this court meeting. You are not an official, just like Li Han, the people around Zhao Yu live in the shadow of the officialdom because they have no fame. Gao Qiu of Song Huizong could only rely on unreasonable victory to be supported to the position of Taiwei, and could only be a military officer. Some people who have turned into civil wars, but those who have no fame and reputation are turned into civil wars, which is more difficult than climbing to heaven.

"If you say goodbye to Your Majesty, the war is in full swing, and our imperial guards are in a state of unstoppable momentum. In order to ensure local stability and transportation on the front line, there must be a stable rear. Appointing local magistrates must be the top priority. In the past, they were mainly engaged in war and agriculture and commerce were basically abandoned. Therefore, the imperial guards familiar with the operation of the army were selected from the army as acting magistrates, which can better solve these problems. This is also a matter of urgent need." Ouyang had known that someone would question this issue and had done his homework long ago. Ouyang continued:

"Then the local officials were assigned to him, and the Wei minister compared them with the local officials. The Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War and the Jiedu Office all believed that the northwest was initially decided, and what was most needed was officials who were familiar with military affairs and local people's conditions. Therefore, after comparing and evaluating the above departments, they believed that those sergeants who served as magistrates in advance were more suitable for serving as magistrates. However, since they were not officials, after weighing the pros and cons, the Wei minister designated sergeants with real knowledge as the ninth rank chiefs to better assist the magistrate in handling local affairs."

"Haha, Master Ou knows that these people are not qualified to be promoted." Wang Fu said: "Even if the power is urgent, even if these people are really useful, they cannot break the rules. What's more, I heard that those who are evaluated by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue are only one or two out of ten, and those who are definitely against the opinions of the adults seem to have not invited any of them to evaluate them."

A fourth-rank official came forward and said, "Mr. Wang said this. It was decided in the northwest that although Master Ou had a plan to calm the people, he did not have any familiar local soldiers to assist local officials in management, and there would inevitably be a gathering for trouble. Besides, if the smoke of wolves burned, a subordinate who knew the military could also act as a county magistrate to form troops to defend the enemy."

Wang Fu snorted and said, "Then it's better for the county magistrate. Everyone knows that only the state-level magistrate can have a formal position in the court. For example, Gan Xin, the subordinate of Lord Ou, is also a person without rank or official."

The minister said: "The county magistrate is just a robber and arresting traitors. The official position is poor but he has a place to govern. He submits the superiors to supervise the power. Special places should be handled specially. It is also a special place to be sent by the court at the beginning of Xiliang, but a certain county was born in eight months and gathered to cause trouble and looting. Looking at the northwest of the Northwest Military Road, there are only three cases in a county a month. It is impossible to say that it is the merits of these people."

A minister made his debut: "I am discussing the extraordinary place. In extraordinary times, extraordinary people can be used. The northwest military road in the northwest is more complicated than in the south. Now it is decided that if these soldiers are abolished, they may cause trouble. Besides, they are just a ninth-rank official. After Taizu, there are exceptions in every dynasty."

"It's an exception, not an official system." A minister said: "There are only two people in one day, but this time, twenty-seven people were drawn."

"The previous dynasty had only lost land, so where could it occupy land?" A young general said directly.

"Random" Cai Jing shouted: "Why are you? You dare to discuss the faults of the kings of the Song Dynasty."
