Chapter 277 A New Oath
The Lord of the White Leopard City, Ye Wu Zhuo, was so angry that he immediately wanted to lead troops out of the city to kill Mao Nu Ronge.
One of his small schoolmen immediately stopped him: "General Yewu, no, there are only dozens of powerful horses from the Song Dynasty under the city, not even soldiers. Why do they dare to come to the city and shout?"
If things are abnormal, there will be evil.
Yewu Zhuo immediately stopped to gather troops.
"General Yewu, let's talk about the ruthlessness of the magistrate Wang. I can't imagine that you have heard the story of the Nine Corps welcoming guests?"
"What nine corpses welcome guests?"
"General Yewu, General Ye Bu, this Nine Corps Welcoming Guest General Ye Bu is so bad. Let me tell you," Yelu Zhuobu has never participated in the Battle of Qingxichuan, and the school has never participated in the Battle of Qingxichuan. However, it was defeated that night, and the Nine Corps Welcoming Guest was too evil. The Song Dynasty blocked the news, and only a dozen people involved knew about it, and even Cai Ting didn't know about it. But it was spreading the world in Xixia.
When I got to this school, I was almost a strange and evil version of the Nine Corpses welcoming guests, which made me even more terrifying.
After hearing this, Yewu Zhuo got goose bumps all over his body. The little school said again: "This is what these strong horses say that life cannot be born, death cannot be died."
"Stop talking, what should I do now?"
"Forget it, they also got the Xinjiang Ball Fort, which could threaten the White Leopard City in both directions. Our troops are here, and our troops are small. It is better to have less than more things."
The two discussed for a while, and Yewu Zhuo finally surrendered. The school left the city, came to Mao Nv Ronge, and whispered: "Even if your county magistrate Wang and the two villages have old age, you can't ask for people so publicly."
When Mao Nv Rong'er heard that there was a show, he immediately became energetic and said proudly: "What, my little brother Wang is still afraid that you will succeed?"
"You can't say that. General Yewu must also explain to the king. Let's do this. There is a path over there that leads directly to Mimo Village. You can wait half an hour before you go there. General Yewu will order the soldiers on the outpost on that path to withdraw, and also order the soldiers guarding the two villages to withdraw. You will go there from where to let the people of the two villages put down their heavy luggage and immediately withdraw your Song realm?"
"What are you doing? You want to be conspiracy!"
"No matter how conspiracy is used, it is not a match for your county magistrate Wang. If you are worried, I will swear to welcome the guests with the Nine Corpses."
"What nine corpses welcome guests?"
"Why don't you know that the Magistrate Wang sent you here? Anyway, it's even more vicious than the whole family's death. Besides, you only have dozens of strong horses. What can we do to you for your contribution?"
This is a fact. Mao Nv Rong's mistakes will be settled when they see it.
Half an hour later, they stepped into the path. Sure enough, there was an outpost, but there was no one in the outpost. Mao Nv Ronger said, "Go away quickly."
God knows whether the people of Xixia are willing to give up.
When they arrived at the two villages, they were already dark and became cold at this time. Mao Nv Ronge immediately ordered the people of the two villages to throw away all their luggage, not even cattle and sheep, and immediately moved forward with light clothes. But they were not riding horses, so they walked very slowly. They did not arrive at the outpost again until dawn the next day.
"Go away quickly." Mao Nv Rongye urged. In fact, he made a mistake. Even if he brought the cattle and sheep, the Xixia people in Baibao City did not dare to take action. Now this situation is right, let's go early and be safe. It seems that people have to be sent to patrol the surrounding villages immediately. Don't happen again. Hunting accidentally reaches the Xia realm, and you can break into the Mimo village from the security guards. Who believes that? Isn't this just disgusting people and want to cause trouble?
Therefore, after receiving the scout's report, the person who knew the inside story breathed a long sigh.
Everyone thought to themselves that they had to feel the investigation system of the Song Dynasty. This cruel and ruthless magistrate would not stay there for too long. At most, there would be a year left to survive.
As for where he will be transferred to in the future, he will not harm them even if he harms others.
Mao Nv Rong'er continued to urge him. At noon, he came to the 24 Panbao. When he arrived here, he gradually became safe. Then he asked his subordinates in wonder: "What is the Nine Corps Welcoming Guests?"
His subordinates didn't know it, so they shook their heads one by one. Mao Nv Ronge had to say to himself: "Is it a new oath from the other side of the mountain? But it sounds very vicious."
In the evening, when Dashun City was finally approaching, Li Sangou brought his subordinates to come over in advance and asked what happened. He finally understood that this battle would kill the people of Xixia. It could even be said that Wang Ju began to gain fame in Xixia, which was truly famous, not something that scared him. But Li Sangou was mixed with all his feelings. Although he was very dissatisfied with Li Yuanhao, he had to admit that under the leadership of Li Yuanhao, the Xixia army was indomitable. Could it be like this now?
Of course, he also knew that Wang Ju didn't want to cause more trouble at this time, so he also urged the nearly 300 tents of the two villages to leave quickly.
Li Sangou settled the people of the two villages and went to Wang Ju to report, and he had to ask for money and food.
Wang Ju went to Qingzhou City.
Most prisoners of war were not sure where they were sold, but in order to deal with possible investigations from the court, Cai Ting insisted on leaving four or five thousand prisoners of war. He first asked them to build the Xinjiang Ball Fort, but now he changed his name to Anjiang Fort.
Then build roads, strengthen some important forts on the front line, and some other projects, such as the county school in Wangju.
However, the weather became colder day by day, so many prisoners of war were sent to continue digging coal.
This coal has bituminous coal. After simple coking, it is good to forge weapons, but it is not suitable for civil use.
So Wang Ju thought of a solution and spent a day pulling out the resigned soldiers from the retreating soldiers and teaching them step by step how to build a fireplace.
With a fireplace and charcoal, you can spend a warm winter in the room. Even if there is smoke, it will emerge from the chimney above. First, to increase the sales of charcoal, and second, to find a way out for these disabled soldiers.
Not only that, Wang Ju also deliberately bought anthracite from the rear, taught them how to make coal stoves and honeycomb coal, and then sent people to find anthracite minerals. Once found, it is another way out for entrepreneurship.
In fact, the most difficult thing for these disabled soldiers is the first two years. After these two years, they become accustomed to them, and then they can adapt to their new identities. With the subsidies from the court, this disguised rescue allows the family to live a happy life, at least they are better than those who sacrifice.
Cai Ting also expressed support.
Wang Ju has been in Qingzhou for more than a year, and he has only been here for a few months. With Han Qi here, it is impossible to transfer to the two prefectures. He will probably get a military governor's official position. This is the only way. Therefore, he has to preside over the defense of Huanqing Road for a long time. This period also prevents Li Liangzuo from getting into trouble and Xixia counterattack, so he still needs the support of the people. If you want them to fight bravely, this aftermath is very important.
The fireplace started in Qingzhou City. It was cold. Wang Ju persuaded a wealthy family. He personally took action and built the fireplace with these wounded soldiers. Everything was difficult at the beginning, but it would not be difficult in the future. He stayed in Qingzhou for three days before returning.
Li Sangou reported the incident in a mixed manner. Wang Ju said: "This time will not be too long. At most, they will forget the pain in a year. I would not dare to do this at that time."
…………
This battle must have hurt the people of Xixia, but Wang Ju didn't know much about how painful it was.
But someone is asking for trouble for Wang Ju.
Prisoners of war were sold to the rear one after another and became mine slaves. Of course, the mine owners were happy, and the money was spent too much.
However, there were too many prisoners of war. The officials along the way sent servants to salvage the dead bodies of Xixia people who were floating from the water of Huachi. Then they looked at the large groups of prisoners of war tied up by ropes and steered to the rear in a mighty manner. They didn't know whether to send people to stop them. They probably dared not to stop them, but should they report to the capital?
Some officials pretended to be stupid, while some were afraid of something, so they wrote memorials and handed them to the capital.
Han Qi and Zeng Gongliang were also stunned when they saw it.
The main reason is Han Qi is a radical faction. If these prisoners of war do not deal with this, there are only two ways. One is to stay in front of work, but are there so many work ahead? And how much food will it consume in tens of thousands of prisoners of war in a day? Once there is insufficient food in front of the food, the food will be eaten with gold millet and gold rice. The other is to return it to Xixia immediately, so Han Qi is not willing to accept it.
But at this time, Zhao Shu began to get sick.
He did not tell the ministers that only Wang Guangyuan knew that his health was getting worse and worse.
It was almost felt that he had not had much time, so Zhao Shu started to do some serious business. He first issued an edict to the Ministry of Rites to report the famous Jinshi, which should not exceed 300 people, and the Ming Dynasty's subjects should not exceed the number of Jinshi. That is, the number of people who went to the palace examination would be even smaller. And it changed from one tribute to one tribute to three years to one tribute to become a regular example.
This measure is for redundant officials.
When Zhao Zhen was there, he often had more than 1,000 masters in the Jinshi class, and more than 1,000 people were awarded officials. But how to cut redundant officials now, he no longer had the ability to cut a little bit, at least in the imperial examination, he could cut half of the quota for officials.
Then I asked the prime ministers of the Secretariat: "Water is a disaster, and those who talk about things are cloudy and do not promote the wise, why?"
The main thing is that it was flooded in the past two years, otherwise the national treasury would not be so nervous even though it was tight.
This wise refers to a capable minister, a responsible and virtuous minister. This is also a disguised protest made by the minister who was disappointed with the Minister of the Secretariat and the Minister of the Central Secretariat.
Several prime ministers were not good at answering, but Ouyang Xiu had no choice but to answer with a fallacy and said, "Since Fu Bi and Han Qi were in power, they have been in charge of the government for more than ten years, and the provincial government was very good at selecting and promotion. At that time, they were all wealthy officials, including money and money, and their reputations were powerful officials. This is what is called using talents. I said that the path to gain wise is narrow, which is a library position."
“Why?”
"The way the court uses people is to first produce two-system officials from the three halls, and then the two-system officials are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are responsible for the people. In the past, there are three ways to enter the three halls, and now they have two ways to block them."
"What are three ways?"
"The Jinshi, the first one, the ministers were recommended, and the second one, and the third one was appointed. In the past, the top five Jinshi were all appointed as officials for the examination. The first one was not less than ten years, and most of them were the auxiliary minister. Now the first one was appointed as the local officials for at least ten years, and the second one was not allowed to be examined again. The high-tech team was blocked all the way. In the past, the ministers recommended, and then summoned the examination. Now, the county magistrate was ordered to be deprived of the county, but there was no examination for the examination. It was recommended that the candidates be conquered all the way. Only the dispatches were still there, and half a year old and sick people were still in labor."
Ouyang Xiu was born in the Pavilion and often thought he was proud. The man who was not born in the Pavilion and became the prime minister was his mortal enemy.
If Wang Ju were here, he might have a sarcastic sentence. I wonder what Zhang Yuan was born, wasn’t he a talented person, and what Wang Ming, who was both civil and military, was born, wasn’t he stronger than you, Ouyang Xiu? I wonder what Zhao Pu, who has only read half of the Analects of Confucius, was born.
What is the promotion of talents? It means to subdue talents without any restrictions.
Besides, the powerful men of Qiangu are even more useless, and Fu Bi is also responsible, although these people are more famous than the other.
However, Zhao Shu became smart this time. He did not take the so-called palace as a matter of fact. He could cure the country by reading a few classics. So in ancient times, there was no classics, so wouldn’t it be impossible to govern the country?
But the recommended talents were adopted later, and the four prime ministers were selected in total, including Xia Yi, Cai Yanqing, Zhang Dun, An Tao, Li Qingchen, Liu Zhi, Wang Cun and others. Think about the story of Zhang Dun, An Shou and Liu Zhi in the future...
Han Qi thought it was too much, but Zhao Shu said: "Since you are the one who is taking it, I think it's not bad, so why bother with it? Besides, it's just a test and survey of the library."
However, he was a little disappointed, but it was hard to say, because there was one missing person, but this person was indeed too small.
It can be said that the two measures in the past few days are the best measures he has done since he became emperor.
Zhao Shu's condition worsened later.
I couldn't hide it anymore, and some important officials gradually heard the news.
So at this time, Han Qi was not good to leave it to Zhao Shu to deal with, but what to do? He also had a headache. At this moment, Sima Guang heard the news, what was it like? What could a scholar to tolerate?
