After Yu Yunwen talked about his plan, Chen Kangbo stared at him for a long time.

Severely punish corrupt officials.

Reduce taxes.

Restrict officials from doing anything wrong.

Good guy, all of these are attacking the bureaucratic class, attacking the vested interests, attacking themselves, and giving benefits to the lower-level Guizhou people.

Can bureaucrats be willing?

The meat of the meat eaters is used to raise the Guizhou people. This kind of thing has not happened in the past one or two thousand years. This does not conform to the logic of the operation of the dynasty, so it is destined to be criticized.

As the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, it is hard not to understand that Yu Yunwen said such words as the Privy Council.

After Zhao Sheng's reform and the apology of civil and military officials in the court, the Privy Council currently holds a lot of power, handles money and supplies, which is very jealous.

The greater the power and the heavier the responsibilities, the more people are staring at them, and the more people want to make them unhappy.

At present, the Ming Dynasty has a great threat, so those Qingliu censors did not open fire on the Privy Council. But if Yu Yunwen did this, the envy, jealousy and hatred of the Privy Council would definitely explode suddenly.

At that time, the Privy Council was not good.

So Chen Kangbo sighed.

"Binfu, you are going to put our entire Privy Council on the fire and roast it."

"So, I dare not say it."

Yu Yunwen smiled bitterly and said, "Prime Minister, I don't think that this can be solved by recruiting a large number of soldiers. The internal and external troubles of the Song Dynasty are not eliminated. How can external troubles be dealt with? The reason why internal troubles are so serious is that some people are too much."

"There are some people you talk about, and there are too many."

Chen Kangbo’s meaning in Yu Yunwen’s words is Men'er Qing.

But it was precisely because of the clarity of the Men's name that I realized that Yu Yunwen's meaning was a bit politically incorrect.

"So I dare not say it."

Yu Yunwen repeated the words just now, and then smiled bitterly: "Although Su Yonglin's tyranny killed countless people and blood flowed into a river, he would not die well, but there is no problem in punishing corrupt officials and purging officials.

The salary of officials in the Song Dynasty far exceeded that of all dynasties and was far better than that of the Northern Dynasties. However, corruption is still fierce. Officials at all levels are plucking their hairs when they are over, and they are allocated to the rain and dew. Few people are not greedy for ink. This is also the real reality.

Although the salary is rich, you can be very decent only by relying on your salary. Why are you still so greedy and cruel? If the salary is not enough to live, of course there is nothing to say, but if the salary is so rich, you still can't stop. It can only be said that you are insatiable."

When Chen Kangbo heard this, his eyes flashed, and he obviously had an idea.

But when he thought of the difficulties and crises behind this, he sighed and shook his head.

"Binfu, you should not think too simple about things. If you think too simple, you will be the next Wang Anshi."

Yu Yunwen was silent when he heard this, but soon said: "Although Wang Anshi failed and died, I think he was open and honest all his life, and he lived more meaningful than many people. We were born in danger. Should we watch the Song Dynasty be destroyed by the Ming Dynasty and do nothing?"

“Isn’t it just doing now?”

Chen Kangbo sighed: "Can the court pass the recruitment plan of more than 200,000 soldiers, start a military campaign, select military talents, and make you the deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor. Isn't it the court's actions? If all these were two years ago, could you imagine it?"

Yu Yunwen was speechless.

What Chen Kangbo said makes sense. He really couldn't imagine all these things two years ago.

Not to mention recruiting 200,000 soldiers, even 20,000 is worth a fight among the literati and officials in the court to argue about who is right and who is wrong.

But is it the limit just to reach here?

Is it already the limit of the Song Dynasty?

It shouldn't be!

"The Ming Dynasty annexed Xia State was so smooth, and it made me tremble. The Xia State led by the Dangxiang people could make them annexed so smoothly. It is conceivable how terrible their set of fallacies was.

Both the Song and Ming dynasties were Han emperors, with the same language and race, and they were engaged in trade with each other. Some people among the people didn’t even think that we were two countries. Once the Ming dynasty’s governing concept was widely known, wouldn’t it be a devastating disaster for the Song Dynasty?”

Yu Yunwen looked at Chen Kangbo and spoke sincerely.

Chen Kangbo sighed.

"So, you must destroy ourselves before the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Song Dynasty?"

Yu Yunwen was stunned.

"Spirit, I..."

"Binfu, you don't think that it's better for us to do it ourselves than for Mingguo, right? It's impossible for anyone to do this kind of thing. They are going to take the blame for the world. Wang Anshi has failed. If you and Yu Yunwen are not successful, no one will support you."

Chen Kangbo patted Yu Yunwen on the shoulder: "Your idea is very good, but the current national conditions of the Song Dynasty cannot support your idea. The Song Dynasty must now concentrate all the strength of all officials to fight against the Ming Dynasty. The spear in our hands must be consistently outward, not inward, otherwise the relatives will hurt and the enemy will be happy."

After saying that, Chen Kangbo sighed and left, leaving Yu Yunwen standing here alone.

After a while, Yu Yunwen clenched his fists, his eyes firmly, as if he had made up some determination.

He also left here.

A few days later, Zhao Xing took the initiative to summon Yu Yunwen and asked him if there was any follow-up plan to destroy the Yellow River Dam in Ming Dynasty.

"I have read your memorial. You said your previous plan wouldn't work. Is it true?"

Zhao Xing was obviously obsessed with the destruction of the dam, hoping to use this plan with little investment to consume the national strength of the Ming Kingdom and postpone the Ming Kingdom's journey south.

However, Yu Yunwen, the proposer of the plan, thought this move would not work, and he was very puzzled.

Yu Yunwen knew this very well.

"Officials, although this strategy has achieved great results, it is difficult to implement. The most important thing is that the farmers and workers in the Ming Dynasty have no resentment. Rampantly inciting them will only expose our detailed identity, so this plan is indeed difficult to implement."

Zhao Gou showed dissatisfaction on his face.

"Why are the people of Ming Dynasty so weird? Can you do this kind of thing? Is Su Yonglin really going to be the emperor?"

Of course, Yu Yunwen didn't know the answer to this question.

But he has another backup plan.

"Although this strategy doesn't work, the officials and ministers have another strategy."

"you say."

"If you actively send someone to destroy the Ming Dynasty dam, even if you successfully destroy it, it will make them in a hurry. You can never go south within three years."

Actually, it’s not necessary for Yu Yunwen to say that Zhao Xing had thought of this method himself, but after thinking about it, he felt it was unreliable.

"Although this method is good, it is not without risks. Binfu, think about it, let alone how many people are needed to destroy the dam, even if it is destroyed, if it is found out that it was sent by the Song Dynasty, I am worried that Su Yonglin will go south and invade it regardless of everything."

Yu Yunwen's face was calm.

"I have a way to break the situation."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

"What can Ming Dynasty let the people destroy the Ming Dynasty's dam by themselves even if Ming Dynasty knows that someone is instructing him?"

Zhao Xing raised his eyebrows.

"Binfu, tell me in detail."

"Officials, some time ago, weren't some Ming people fled to the Song Dynasty? One or two thousand people fled. These people were all real Ming people, born and raised. If they destroyed the dam, then..."

Yu Yunwen did not continue to speak, but Zhao Xing already understood what Yu Yunwen meant.

This is a brilliant point that Zhao Xing had never thought of.

And it's really interesting.

"You mean, send the Ming people who fled back to destroy the dam?"

Yu Yunwen nodded decisively.

"Yes, the officials, as far as I know, the lives of those Ming people are not satisfactory now. Because of their lack of property, it is difficult to gain a foothold in the Song Dynasty. At present, a considerable number of them rely on government support to survive. If they promise benefits, hundreds of dead soldiers are not rare. With their hatred for the Ming Dynasty, they will not worry about the failure of this."

Zhao Xing felt that this matter was quite confusing, but he was still a little confused.

"The river embankment dam cannot be destroyed just by destruction, and the Ming Dynasty will not be unprepared..."

"These people will receive special training before setting off. The Yellow River is thousands of miles long. It is impossible for people to guard every place and every moment. As long as they are willing to look for it, there will always be a chance."

Yu Yunwen said, "Although this matter is difficult, I firmly believe that there is nothing that cannot be done in the world. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I think it is feasible. Once successful, it can give the Song Dynasty a chance to breathe for several years, which is enough for the Song Dynasty to train a strong army."
