Three hundred and fortieth chapters murderous
"Yi'an, Your Majesty has just as soon as he ascended the throne. In this way, the world is bustling, and it may not be correct." Xue Juzheng said.
If the Jiedushi is defeated, it may be a little easier, but if Song Jiu's policy is implemented and the soldiers are disgusted, it may cause more changes.
"Mr. Xue, it's true. The Khitan has many tribes. Why can it quickly regulate its army? Han Luduo!" Song Jiudao.
After Yelu Xian became the emperor, Gao Xun, the Han official who supported him, was granted the title of Southern Privy Councilor and was appointed as King Qin. Han Derang of the Han family first stayed for Shangjing, and then stayed for Nanjing and King Yan, which was actually equivalent to handing over the southern gate to Han Derang.
With this change, a series of rules and regulations and military systems gradually matured, that is, the north-south system, called the state system, which is the Khitan, and the south-south system, which is prepared for the Han people. Among the officials in the north-south, they are divided into the North-South Privy Council, which is the highest system in the country. The military, government and financial power are taken into consideration, and the North-South Prime Minister's Office is in charge of the royal family members. This is a honorary position, and only the power to "assist in the government affairs". The North-South Dawang Court is equivalent to the great housekeeper of all ethnic groups, the North-South Xuanhui Court, similar to the Ministry of Works, the Dati Yinsi, which is in charge of the royal family's political and educational affairs, the Yili Biyuan, the Ministry of Justice, the Dilimadu Office, the Ministry of Rites, the Dalin Organs, and the Hanlin Academy.
The southern officials are similar to the northern officials. The difference is that they use Han official positions, which are mostly similar to the Tang system. In addition, they can only manage the Youyun Han area. Northern Khitans can serve as southern officials, but it is difficult for Han people to climb to the gate of the northern system.
This is the earliest "one country, two systems".
Another is the Hanludo system mentioned by Song Jiu. This was established very early, and translated in Chinese as the tent. As early as Abaoji, elite soldiers were selected from the country and formed the emperor's personal guard. They were inseparable from the emperor, which was Hanludo. Then every emperor would form a Hanludo.
When Hanludo enters, he stays in a custody, and when he leaves, he entruses. If the emperor dies, they will be inherited by the next emperor as inheritance.
Usually they grazed on the territory set aside by the Khitan and were self-sufficient, so they did not need the country to bear the expenses. When they went to war, they did not pay military salaries. Wherever they came from, they snatched them, all they stolen belonged to their own.
This was a product extended to the Tang Dynasty's military system, but the Song Dynasty could not implement it. The reason was very simple. Song Jiu also said that the soldiers were active in fighting Bashu, Shu, Han and Tang, because there was wealth for soldiers to plunder, but what could they get when fighting the Khitan? However, when the Khitan started a war, even if they suppressed the rebellion of various tribes, they could get slaves from cattle and sheep, let alone deal with the Han people.
It is this strange system. Because they gathered together, the Khitan easily had to raise an army of 100,000 without any expenses, and could quickly gather the army of 100,000 when the war started.
Song Jiu said Han Luduo, and the few of them finally fell silent.
The Khitan had a way to support the Khitans. The Song Dynasty had a way to support the army. Zhao Kuangyin placed the forbidden troops in the city to raise the army. It was nothing more than controlling the army in the hands of the court, not in the local area to avoid rebellion, but the cost was too high.
Therefore, Song Jiu drew on the Tang Dynasty's government military system, the vassal state military support system, the Khitan Hanluduo, and the Song Dynasty's military support system, and came up with this new military support system.
Everyone is changing, why can’t reform be carried out at Zhao Kuangyi?
Moreover, Song Jiu said that it must be taken seriously. The military prostitutes just now also shocked several people. Even their wives were selling themselves. How can soldiers be willing to fight to the death?
When Song Jiu mentioned this Hanluduo, he finally made his proposal pass. Zhao Kuangyi issued an edict to divide 50,000 scattered farmland from twelve prefectures around the capital such as Kaifeng, Zhengzhou, Luoyang, Mengzhou, Huazhou, Songzhou, etc., as a permanent military farm for the imperial guards, and transferred the imperial guards from the inside of the city to the outside of the city.
But if it continues to be implemented, it still causes endless trouble.
In order to pay high retirement costs and pension rewards, the officials of the three departments were unhappy and the ministers opposed it.
However, without them, most soldiers were unwilling to leave the capital, which would directly lead to a mutiny between the imperial guards.
When we got to the bottom, we had many disputes with the people because of the military farming. Many generals were greedy for the income from military farming, or occupied additional arable land in disguise, and rented them to the people for farming and profit.
It took more than a year to barely move a quarter of the city's imprisonment to the suburbs.
This was also expected by Song Jiu, who thought it was a struggle in Jiangzhou. Song Jiu was not focused on the present but on the future.
Moreover, under his suggestion, the rights of each border defense general were clearly guaranteed to remain. As long as it was not changed, there would be no situation in which literati led troops and eunuchs took charge in the Northern Song Dynasty.
In addition to this, Song Jiu has won praise from many scholars and officials in other aspects. He is careful in his work, low-key and humble, patient, and is a supporter, comprehensive, benevolent in politics and loves the people, and also understands the way of business. Over the past year, under the handling of Song Jiu, the country's finances have become more and more healthy, and at least as a political affairs officer, he deserves it.
...
Song Jiu looked at the memorial and Fan Yu wrote a letter saying that Qian had made great contributions in Liangzhe for 80 years, and his internal affairs were extravagant and arrogant. The people were narrow in their territory. They collected all the chickens, fish, eggs, vegetables, and food. They were all fine. The crimes were as high as whip. The few were dozens, and the most were more than 500. After the country was eliminated, the people were suffering from their policies. The court asked the court to dismiss them.
Song Jiu commented later, you are very kind, but don’t say too much, so you will be honest and upright.
Then hand it over to Zhao Kuangyi for review.
When the Song Dynasty took Jiangnan, they all looked at the Southeast with a gaze. Jin Yan also thought, but that would be a fierce battle, and the Southeast was the main one.
Qian Jiao came to the capital, and Lu Duoxun and other ministers asked Zhao Kuangyin to keep Qian Chu. Unexpectedly, Zhao Kuangyin disagreed and said to Qian Chu, "If I were there for one day, you will be the King of Wu Yue safely."
Zhao Kuangyin died and Zhao Kuangyi ascended the throne.
Qian Chu asked his eldest son Qian Weiyan to come to the capital to congratulate him with huge tributes.
However, Zhao Kuangyi repeatedly ordered him to come to the capital, but Qian Chu could not refuse and had to come.
But this time Zhao Kuangyi did not let Qian Chu go back.
Song Jiu also agreed to keep Qian Chu. Although this was not authentic, what would have been made to make the Southeast independent? Could it be that history was reversed and the system of Shang and Zhou dynasties? Moreover, the subsequent fierce battle with the Khitan was inseparable from the support of the Southeast.
However, Qian Chu did something confused, and he was not satisfied with Zhao Kuangyi's approach. He submitted thirty memorials in a row, asking Zhao Kuangyi to allow him to go back to Hangzhou. He also transported a large amount of money and silk from Wu Yue and bribed officials, including Song Jiu, to receive a large number of expensive gifts from him.
In fact, the Song Dynasty was unable to allow Wu and Yue to exist in public or private affairs. This not only did not achieve practical work, but it would arouse Zhao Kuangyi's suspicion and disgust.
But Qian Chu had his idea. Is it better to be a prisoner in the capital than to be a king in Hangzhou? Therefore, Qian Chu and most of his ministers continued to ask the court to release them back.
However, at this time, Chen Hongjin suddenly gave birth to the Zhangzhou and Quanzhou provinces. Chen Hongjin was old. At the age of 64, he wanted not much territory and not many soldiers. When he saw the court detaining Qian Chu and not releasing him, he knew that Zhao Kuangyi had made any intention and offered his land to surrender and seek a prosperous and peaceful life.
Zhao Kuangyi was overjoyed. He appointed Chen Hongjin as the Tongpingzhang Office, and asked his eldest son Chen Wenxian to be the Tongzhou Tuanjian Envoy, and still went back to take charge of Quanzhou. He also asked his other son Chen Wenkai to be the governor of Chuzhou and still belonged to Zhangzhou.
That day, the whole city of the capital was celebrated, but everyone couldn't help but look at the inn.
Chen Hongjin's sudden offering of land caused Qian Chu to have no way to retreat, but he was still unwilling to accept it. Fortunately, he had a clear-headed man, Cui Renji. Jin advised that the court's intentions could be seen. The king did not accept land quickly, and disaster was about to come.
But the other ministers were still talking, and Cui Renji asked again: "Now that it is within the control of people, only Yu Ji can fly away thousands of miles away."
Everyone, you have wings but have you grown. If not, what can you do to go back to Hangzhou?
Qian Chu had no choice but to offer more than 500,000 households in the 86 counties of Wu and Yue.
Because he was unconscious, he could not enjoy the treatment of Chen Hongjin. The imperial court sent officials to learn about the affairs of Liangzhezhou. Lu Duoxun recommended Fan Yu. Song Jiu and Fan Yu went south to work with him. The two had a good relationship. Song Jiu also believed that Fan Yu was a good official, capable of literature and martial arts, benevolent government and loving the people, and had the style of his father. Therefore, Fan Yuquan knew about the affairs of Liangzhezhou.
This is the first memorial written by Fan Yu after he went to Hangzhou.
In the memorial Fan Yu vilified Qian's governance of Liangzhe too much.
That's right. Wu Yue's taxes are a bit heavy, but that's helpless. In order to protect himself, Wu Yue had to raise more than 100,000 troops, and at the same time he had to pay a large amount of gold, silver, money and silk to the Song Dynasty every year. How can the taxes not be heavy?
But the Qian family is not bad at managing Wu and Yue. For example, Wu and Yue first invented the use of cage stone method to control the Qiantang River, overhaul water conservancy, and develop the Taihu River Basin, making the southeast the most densely populated area in the country. It is just a small northern area in Suzhou and Zhejiang, and Fujian, with a small number of households reaching more than 500,000. Is this easy?
It was even precisely because of the Qian family's governance that the most important supply base was provided for the Song Dynasty.
Now that Wu and Yue have returned to Song, there is no need to pay tribute or support so many troops. The court can leniently give entrusted tribute to the people and can also buy the hearts of the people of Wu and Yue.
Fan Yu's move is very legitimate.
However, there is no need to over-depreciate the contributions of Qian's family. In terms of internal affairs, except for the Song Dynasty, there are no other countries or Wu and Yue!
Moreover, because of the Qian family's contribution, the court did not need to conquer the court, which could achieve a good start and end, and also reduce the unnecessary bloodshed and sacrifice of countless soldiers and the people. Moreover, the help of Wu and Yue to the Song Dynasty in the past, Qian Chu made great contributions to the Song Dynasty in these terms.
Fan Yu turned the Qian family into a vilified way, and he thought it was a villain.
Zhao Kuangyi read the memorial and then read Song Jiu's annotations, and couldn't help laughing.
This is a trivial matter, just as the state treasury is sufficient, so an edict was issued to exempt Wu and Yue from all taxes in one year.
Then he looked northwest.
But before that, there is one more thing to do.
A few months ago, the three museums were completed. He summoned all the ministers to visit and summoned Li Yu and Liu Yu. He once asked Li Yu: "I heard that you are fond of studying in Jiangnan. Here, I have many old things. Are you still studying nearby?"
Asking him if he was studying was fake, but in fact he warned Li Yu that your country had long become my country, and your collection of books had become mine, so don’t whine anymore.
However, Li Yu continued to write those complaining little orders.
"A river of spring water flows eastward. Do you still want to return to Jinling!"
...
Spring is gone, and another year of spring is here.
Zhao Kuangyi asked Zhang Shi to take a secret message to the envoy of Goryeo.
Song Jiu shook his head at this edict, but it didn't work. However, as Zhang Yu left, another team also went to Goryeo, which was a new workshop in Hezhou. They carried a large number of weapons and rushed to Goryeo at the same time. Because Song Jiu had not really counted on Goryeo, these weapons were mainly for profit.
If Goryeo does not pay attention to it, it will lose a great opportunity to rise. If it is paid attention to it, it will make their finances worse. It depends on what Goryeo people have.
In fact, it is the same as Zhang Shi's mission to Goryeo, but it has little effect, but it only has the function of disgusting Khitan.
What really interested Song Jiu was the small country established by the Jurchens.
Zhang Shi left in front, and Zhao Kuangyi asked Cao Bin in the Political Affairs Hall: "Zhou Shizong and my Taizu personally conquered Taiyuan, but with the troops at that time, they could not take Taiyuan. Why is it? The city wall is strong and unavailable?"
Cao Bin replied: "During the reign of Emperor Shizong, Shi Chao was defeated at Shiling Pass. As a result, the people were afraid, so the army returned. Taizu stopped the army in the licorice field, and the soldiers were often sick, so they stopped and must be blocked.
"If I raise my troops in Taiyuan now, what do you think?"
"The country's elite military and armor are supported by people. If you do a slaughter, what's wrong?"
Xue Juzheng said: "Your Majesty, no, in the past, Emperor Shizong raised an army, Taiyuan relied on the assistance of the Northern Rong, and did not fight, so that his teacher returned home. When Taizu defeated the enemy in the south of Yanmen Pass, he drove all his people to be distributed between Heluo. Although the nest still exists, he is extremely in danger. It is not enough to break the soil, and it is not enough to give up. I hope Your Majesty will think about it."
"The current affairs are the same but the momentum is different. The other is weak and I am strong. In the past, the former emperor defeated this enemy and moved his people to empty his land. This is what is today's business." Zhao Kuangyi suddenly stopped and looked at Song Jiu.
Song Jiu also likes power, but his sense of power is not very strong. He has reached a high position in political affairs. What else do he think? If it weren't for Yuping, his enterprising spirit would be even weaker.
It is precisely because of his contentment that the masters of the Secretariat did not hate Song Jiu.
Everyone gets along well, and Xue Juzheng and Shen Yilun are also old, so they usually leave more government affairs to Lu Duosun and Song Jiu, which also gives Song Jiu a chance to show off.
In the past two years, Song Jiu has played an increasingly important role in Zhongshu, and because of his humility, he did a good job, which made Zhao Kuangyi pay more attention to it.
But at this time, Zhao Kuangyi saw Song Jiu frowning and asked, "Song Qing, what do you mean?"
Song Jiu was silent at first, but his eyes unconsciously looked at the north.
