Chapter 324 The things that kill the emperor

If Wang Ju seriously watched the next farce, he would find that he was watching "Song of Ice and Fire. Game of Thrones".

There was a silent man in the middle, Wen Yanbo, who had been silent all the time, including the Puyi dispute. It was the silence that made him gain enough benefits. However, the silence of the key to the fall of Han missed a greater benefit, so he stayed in the Pudong Secretariat who was not painful.

Ouyang Xiu is a tragic child. Compared with Han Qi's toughness, he has more hypocrisy and a little less powerful, so he stepped down the fastest.

Needless to say, Wu Kui is soon. He was indeed as famous as the three direct ministers in China and abroad as Bao Zheng and Tang Jie, but this brother was not safe in his later years and became a double-faced person. The one he hated most in political struggles is a double-faced person, so he was destined to be unhealthy. Of course, he has the ability of Cai Jing and can still play a double-faced person.

Although Chen Xu is not capable enough and has a weak personality, he has always been loyal to the royal family. However, since Han Qi has supported him, he will be a little sad for a while if he is suspected.

So who has gained the greatest benefit? The first one is Zeng Gongliang.

Han Jiang, so later he made many mistakes because of his incompetence, but Zhao Xu was always tolerant.

There is another unexpected person, Sima Guang.

Before the fall of Han, in order to win more power, Zhao Rui made Sima Guang a Hanlin scholar and also made Sima Guang an imperial tutor!

But when he fell from Korea, Sima Guang did not exert any effort. However, he was very skilled and had a strong hand. At the critical moment, he tried his best to protect Wang Tao. This capital was enough. So Sima Guang was a master of double-faced skills. However, Comrade Lao Guang unfortunately met Wang Anshi. He didn't know anything, but he had great strength. He could defeat ten times with one force! Sima Guang went to the tree house to compile books.

Zhao Xu failed to defeat Han.

The first person to discover the truth was probably Han Qi. He was proud for a while and immediately fell silent.

Of course, more people discovered it at this time.

Yes, the little emperor has no choice but to force you step by step. In the end, one of you two will bow your head completely. Either you go down or Zhao Xu go down. Can Han Qi let Zhao Xu go down? Even Sima Guang would disagree.

Zeng Gongliang first greeted Han Qi politely, and he also discovered it.

Therefore, Zeng Gongliang softly expressed his support for Zhao Xu on some occasions, and at this time he did not dare to offend Han Qi.

However, this softness made Han Qi feel uncomfortable.

Zhao Xu did not really bow his head. Anyway, he was also expressing dissatisfaction in some occasions, and it had nothing to do with the means. He did not have any means now, but some means were also inappropriate in front of these big guys. This was just a kind of venting mood, but this obscure dissatisfaction made Han Qi feel uncomfortable. Could it be that because of this, he became a lying man again? He forced Zhao Xu to issue an edict to be appointed as Sikong, the governor, and the officials, holding a sword to court, and not bow to you when you see you?

The most deadly assistant of his current is Wu Kui. Wu Kui himself is a double-faced person and feels guilty. He once again became a political affairs officer and began to remain silent. In fact, he is not silent. Can he catch up with the great writer Ouyang Xiu?

So Zhao Xu was not unsuccessful. He drove Ouyang Xiu down and was still there, so the situation would be different.

But now everyone has temporarily let go of the battle, and Hebei has a severe drought!

We have to consider the low productivity in ancient times, the harvest was pitiful and taxes were still paid. Once there was a disaster, the people could not survive. If the country handled it improperly, wars would immediately spread everywhere.

…………

"Su Lishe, can't even get a million out of the treasury?" Zhao Xu asked angrily.

"The official family, I deliberately went to the two warehouses to check, and it was really empty. I suspect that if this continues, the royal family members will not be able to release their salary."

"It's half a million."

"The official family, don't say 500,000, even 100,000. I forgive me for telling you the truth. Even Zheng Baiqu in the autumn, the official family should ask Sansi for help."

"How can this be done, how can this be done?"

"The government, the internal treasury finances were still good during the Renzong period, but the two late emperors had a lot of money to repair Zhengbaiqu, and then allocated some money to the south. The internal treasury was used up."

"Don't the South allocate money?"

"I don't mean this. My ancestor is the Guangnan family (his ancestor is Su Baoqian, an official under Liu Yu. Liu Yu clapped all the officials' lives together, and then went to Beijing. Liu Baoqian also brought his son to the capital. His son had no chance and later gave birth to Su Lishe). I also wanted to be good at Guangnan, but now the money is really tight."

Not only this year, the Song Dynasty's finances will continue to be tight next year and next year, so some aspects have also forced Zhao Xu's mentality to be a little distorted.

"The official family can't make a move now. If you have to endure it, you will have a harvest next year. At least the money allocated can be collected. Going back, the inner treasury will also benefit... However, at this moment..." Su Lishe couldn't continue. Now he was so poor that he wanted to drink poisonous wine and drink drinks, so he still had money to allocate funds to provide disaster relief.

"There are too many children in the royal family."

"Official family, I'll say more. The Song Dynasty raised too many idle people, and I still care about how many royal children were raised? Some literati and officials wished that the official family would not eat, save the money and give it to them to be so excited. No matter how hard it is, how hard it is, how hard it is to make the royal children suffer?"

"I just talk about the family rules of the ancestors, how many kings and how many worms have they raised!"

"The official family cannot say this. One king is enough. If there are ten or eight, each person will use more than one million yuan of silk from the official family a year. Not to mention the inner treasury, even the three officials will not be able to survive this year."

"What do you know? Does Wang Ju spend money on water conservancy? Have you not seen his ability to manage finances? Have you not seen his military talent? Can't I use two military, two water, and two finances?"

"The official family, why not transfer him to the capital?" Su Lishe said. This is definitely not possible. Could it be that Wang Huo is removed from eight pieces? But transferring Wang Huo to the capital and putting it in the key department can actually be used as the following six.

"No," Zhao Xu flatly refused.

What to do if you transfer Wang Ju to the capital? There is no need to place it in the museum and court training. It is better to put it in each department as a bureaucrat who is not painful or itchy. It is better to put it below. If you are the key department officials who are in charge, it will be a big deal.

Therefore, Zhao Xuba looked at Wang Anshi. Not only did Han Wei say good things every day, but Wang Juling was also a headache. Wang Anshi had no such problem. As long as he was transferred back to the capital, he could take over the relevant ministries. If he was indeed talented, he could enter the East Mansion immediately.

Zhao Xu also admired Wang Anshi's noble character.

This article is also very important, including Sima Guang's life is not luxurious, and he is gradually winning some of his favor. However, he did not trust Sima Guang since he was the King of Ying. He continued to use it now, using it with a contradictory mentality, and it was also the meaning of his mother Gao Taotao.

The literati and official's extravagance made him hate it.

"You go and summon Han Jiang."

"Here."

After a while, Han Jiang was brought in by Su Lishe.

Zhao Xu said politely: "Han Qing, sit down."

In fact, among the ministers Zhao Xu trusted, Han Jiang's talent was very poor. Whether it was economic or military, to be precise, the financial deterioration in the second year of Zhiping had a certain relationship with him and Cai Xiang. One was inaction and the other was purely incompetent.

But what Zhao Xu saw was "loyalty", and nothing else could be seen.

"Han Qing, can the three departments remain equal this year?"

"Your Majesty, the late emperor has made a great journey and Hebei has a severe drought, which is probably difficult."

"Is there an end to this?"

"Your Majesty, the court is not in order, and the government cannot be changed."

Zhao Xu was cowardly. What Sima Guang said about cultivating benevolence and martial arts was just like a god and a cloud. But Wang Tao said something, Zhang Fangping said something, and what Wang Ju said, these were all financial management plans. However, Han Qi could not do anything wherever he was to snatch food from Sima Guang's tiger mouth, and subtracted more than 100 Jinshi and various subjects, which could save some money.

"Han Qing, in the spring, I allocated a million yuan of silk from the inner treasury to support Zheng Baiqu, and I also spent more than 300,000 yuan of silk in another place."

"Your Majesty, even if it is money from the inner treasury, you can't spend it indiscriminately."

"I know, there is a letter here. You can take a look. Don't spread it outside." Zhao Xu took out the letter from Wang Ju again, and it was a complete letter. Zhang Fangping was only a Hanlin bachelor, but Han Jiang was the envoy of the Three Divisions. If these measures are implemented, they cannot be separated from the support of the Three Divisions. Especially Fangchang Hedu is the matter within the Three Divisions.

"Kapok?"

"It's not what we call kapok, but grass cotton seeds."

There was another type of kapok in the Song Dynasty, mostly in the south. However, there were also a small number of kapok trees in the Central Plains. The cotton was extremely precious and most people could not afford it. Of course, the cotton was warmer than cotton. Therefore, in winter, rich people used fur to keep the cold, while those without money would have used silk heads to fill the hemp clothes to keep the cold.

"When talking about grass cotton seeds, I know that it is said that there is a kind of Libu in the south."

"Yes, it is the inspiration that Wang Ju created." As for Zhao Niannu's gift to Wang Julibu and Zhao Xu, he would not say anything: "So he drew several kinds of machinery. I asked the weaver girl in the palace and the craftsmen in the courtyard to make improvements. I even deliberately sent eunu to the south to buy dozens of kilograms of seed-carried grass cotton seeds and used them for experiments. Indeed, these machinery are quite effective, so I don't know if there is any good things from the Li girls. Therefore, I agree, Han Qing, can you see its function?"

"Transfer the crowded people on Fujian Road."

"It's not just that the mountains of Bashu are blocked, and there is only one Three Gorges traveling with ships outside. However, the cost of transporting grain is too high, so our dynasty asked the people of Bashu to pay taxes with cloth. But Guangnan is farther away, in such a large place, and so many people, our dynasty cannot benefit, and the people cannot be rich, which is a pity."

"Your Majesty, it's amazing. If this strategy works, it should be the case that Zhenzong will introduce the rice from Cham City."

"But Han Qing, you also know my situation, so I don't want to make a statement about this matter, but is the money worth it?"

“It’s so worth it.”

"It's worth it, but my inner treasury is empty." Zhao Xu said with a spread of his hand.
