Chapter 861 Yao and Shun (2)(1/2)
Jia Yi wrote a letter saying that Su Dongpo was ruthless and actually said that Renzong was in a state of vain. Wuzong finally passed away, and the late emperor had just passed away.
Su Dongpo refuted, "Are I wrong? The Song Dynasty is now at a fork in the road. Some people want to continue the national policy of the late emperor, and some people want to overturn the national policy of the late emperor. How to move forward in the Song Dynasty is the most critical proposition now. Moreover, the members of the museum are the reserve teams of senior national officials in the future. What's wrong with participating in this discussion?
And this was also approved by the emperor.
It was not approved by Zhao Xu, but by Gao Taotao. Zhao Xu is now in court and also reads things, but he is just a puppet and has no right to make decisions.
As Gao Taotao, although he believed in many slander and was ready to overthrow some national laws, the current situation in the Song Dynasty was much better than that of another time and space, so he would definitely retain some laws and regulations, "get rid of the drought and extract the essence." God knew that she had obtained the essence, so he agreed to Su Shi's test question.
Jia Zhu was not convinced, and another minister came forward. Lu Tao said that the Song Dynasty never judged the crime by words. Do you think that the mistake was repeated more than ten years ago? This refers to Su Dongpo's Wutai Prison Case. And you are all Cheng Xi's students...
Oh, everyone understood. It turned out that Su Dapao made the satirical poem, which made Jia and Zhu hold a grudge, and then they tried their best to exaggerate themselves.
But at this time, Wang Yansou came out. Even though our court allowed many ministers to speak, you should not just talk about the ministers, and you should not put the two late emperors in the examination room to let everyone discuss their right or wrong, not right, but about their shortcomings.
Many people cheered.
Su Dongpo attracted public anger this time, and everyone was preparing to overturn the new method in one, two or three, but you just got one or two on the test questions, which is unbearable.
Zhao Xu listened to everyone's discussions. In fact, influenced by Wang Ju, he was much more mature than in history. However, he never wanted his ancestors to put them above the public and let everyone make sense of their character, so he issued an order to ask.
Su Dongpo replied, and then the court suddenly took back the edict.
Wang Yansou was furious and directly asked Zhao Xu, "Your Majesty, you cannot confuse right and wrong because of the preferences of some people who can affect yours. This is the blessing of the world."
Although your grandmother likes Su Dongpo, you are the emperor.
Gao Taotao almost furious behind the curtain, and said directly behind the curtain, "What are you saying!"
Then it became a vegetable market. The noble Empress Dowager and a group of speakers separated the curtain. You say something, I say something. Fan Chunren and Lu Dafang persuaded each other for more than a day before they calmed down.
Zhao Xu covered his head and even said something like my grandmother and Su Dongpo had a relationship. Uh... This is what you said to respect our ancestors.
But this matter was not over. Jia Yi and Zhu Guangting went down and wrote a list.
The cultural atmosphere of the Song Dynasty was the strongest, and the education that most valued education was Jiangnan West Road, Fujian Road, Chengdu Fu Road and surrounding areas. Therefore, the three areas had the most Jinshi.
The two listed a list of Su brothers and Lu Tao, who said they were the Shu Party.
Fan Chunren was anxious when he saw that, what were the consequences of the Xining party struggle?
But that's still good, but the dispute between the old and new parties, or the reformists and the conservative factions.
If the party is judged by region, the Song Dynasty would be divided into Shu Party, Jing Party, Guang Party, Jiangxi Party, Jiangdong Party, Huaidong Party, Huaixi Party, Fujian Party, Zhejiang Party, Shandong Party, Hebei Party, Hedong Party, Guan Party, and Jing Party. We would not be able to live that day.
So he went to mediate himself, let's just let this matter go.
The country finally settled down, and there was no war on the border. Everyone had fewer disputes and worked hard to make the Song Dynasty better.
However, when Jia Yi heard that there was no war on the border, he became even more angry. Oh, I understand, you are not the Shu Party, but the Wang Party, who belongs to the Wang Ju faction. Otherwise, how could you, Fan Chunren, stand firm in the Zhao Xu Dynasty, where the new party is full of, but become the prime minister.
Cai Que is also in this series.
Not to mention Zhang Dun, he has always had a good personal relationship with Wang Ju.
Lu Dafang and Wang Ju had the same friendship as each other, and were also ministers of this faction, so they joined the ranks of prime ministers.
Xiao Su is also Wang Ju's friend. Although Da Su is below, since Wang Ju first came to Beijing as the governor of the government, Da Su has been wandering in the three prefectures of Suzhou, Hang and Yang. You should know how many prefectures in the world can match the prosperity of these three prefectures?
This makes the list even longer, Cai Bian, Zhang Shangying, etc.
No, there is another place, that is, the northwest, and this faction also has a group of border commanders and many generals such as Kumamoto, Joseph and others.
The power of you people can subvert the country.
Fan Chunren almost wanted to slap his mouth. Wang Ju did not subvert the country in the northwest, but after reaching the other side, he wanted to subvert the country. This is the reason.
Jia and Zhu were angry with the public.
Of course, Liu Zhi, Wang Yansou, and Wen Yanbo hated Wang Ju to the core.
But it was just these dozens of people, including the moderate old ministers, whose views on Wang Ju are now quite objective.
First, Wang Ju went to the other side and never came back. Just like a person died, it could be a final conclusion, and there is no need to involve Wang Ju.
Second, this year, because various systems have not been completely overturned, the Song Dynasty began to live and work in peace and prosperity. Many people missed Wang Ju, and even 90% of the people thought that the Song Dynasty owed Wang Ju and at least one prime minister.
It would be too unwise to involve Wang Ju in, and even Wen Yanbo would not do this.
The two were demoted from the court.
But the two of them didn't let go. When they arrived at the local area, they wrote a letter a day, which made everyone knows. And some people were fueling the fire. In their eyes, not only the Su brothers, but now Fan Chunren is included.
I didn't dare to move last year, but this year I became stronger and wanted to overthrow Wang Ju's decree.
What laws does Wang Ju have?
First, the exemption law, Baojia law, and the horse protection law were improved, and the farmland water conservancy law, the square field tax law, and the warehouse law were further promoted. The military art and the new imperial examination system were not moved. The original Qingmiao law and the market law were removed. The system continued to strengthen the function of the original shipping department and retained the responsibilities of the training department.
As for the art of decommissioning and the Fangchang River Ferry system, it was proposed by Wang Ju in his youth.
Also, Wang Ju’s own laws and policies.
The strong economy has a banking department.
Ethnic policies have been changed to the land and returned to the current situation.
There is a purple-red banknote system in commercial taxes.
There is another shore in trade and the further growth of the Maritime Bureau.
At the same time, it encourages the development of industry and commerce, overhaul of infrastructure construction, including roads and bridges, and reduces the ratio of two taxes. These policies are very different from the original Qingmiao Law and the Market Change Law, just like the Banking Department. You say it makes money and harsh the people, but it is still different from the Qingmiao Law. The Qingmiao Law is forcibly levied, while the Banking Department is that you are unwilling to borrow money and will not force you to lend. There are no loans in the State of A, and there are still people in the State of B, just turn money to Yi. If you want to borrow money, there are many restrictions and reminders. Can you say it is a bad policy?
Therefore, in Fan Chunren's idea, it is not to overturn these laws, but to try to be gentler to reduce the intensification and occurrence of more contradictions.
Therefore, Fan Chunren has also become a thorn in the eyes of some people and a thorn in the flesh.
Seeing that the public opinion became louder and louder, Fan Chunren understood that it was fierce. It was not Wang Ju who could not tolerate others, but his original good friends...
He took the initiative to ask for exile, but he was a big boss of the old party and wanted to treat it differently. The court issued an edict to sentence Yongxing Army and Shaanxi South Road Pacification Strategy Envoy to release him to Jingzhao Prefecture.
Fan Chunren couldn't stand it anymore, so let alone the Su brothers. The two brothers asked to release each other. Xiao Su was released in Qingzhou, and Da Su returned to Hangzhou. With Gao Taotao here, Su Dongpo would not suffer any hardship...
After getting rid of three big bosses, Zhu Jia and the other two closed their mouths.
But Shen Kuo is here again.
It took nearly two years to finally repair the "railway".
This time is very slow. It is not the kind of railway in later generations. The so-called carriage is just a large carriage carriage. The difference is the wheels, which have higher cost and higher technical content. Some reinforcement measures have been made.
The heaviest one is the front of the car, but in order to reduce the pressure on the road surface, the front of the car has been lengthened, almost one and a half times the length of the front of the car in later generations. At the same time, some carbonite supply points were set up along the way to reduce the weight of carbonite loading on the front of the car.
There is also this section of road with no large rivers, and the undulating slopes of the road are not large. What it fears most now is bridges and roads with large slopes. After all, the power is insufficient, and the technical content of each wheel is low, and the friction and resistance are high.
However, the changes in the political situation in the court made Shen Kuo realize that it was not good, so he deliberately slowed down the process. There is another advantage to slowing down the process. It would not work too much people to avoid plagiarism.
But it was finally over, and Shen Kuo knew that his father would not hurt and his mother would not love him. What should I do next?
Therefore, with this memorial, this road is not simply from Huai'an Town to Lingzhou City, passing Guidechuan, and split a fork to go straight to Yanzhou to transport green salt. At the same time, there is a lot of sandy land in this area and lacks grain. With this road, the problem of grain supply can be solved well in the future.
Shen Kuo wrote in the memorial that although he has been building roads in the past two years, Shen Kuo has also led the craftsmen to further research and development. Now each car can be increased to a weight of 25 stones. The maturity of technology also means that the cost has decreased. Therefore, he asked the court to support some materials and money, and extend the railway along Yanzhou to Yuzhou and Xiazhou, and then along the flat dryland area on the edge of Fulin Road to Shengzhou. With the waterway, the entire northwest formed a whole.
At that time, the technology will be improved again, and you can follow Huaian Town and build it along Yanqing water to Yunyang. In the future, you will no longer have to worry about the people pushing goods in small cars, and the cost of transporting each stone to Heishan will be reduced to within a consistent amount of money.
In fact, the freight fee is still very high. One stone is one jin of money, and one ton is twenty jin of money. This is a new jin. If it is placed in later generations, everyone will faint together. This does not count the maintenance and repair costs of railways, docks, and ships. If calculated, the cost will be even higher.
But it turned out that the freight fee for each bucket of materials to the Hengshan front line in the Song Dynasty reached 300 ci. If the officials were not honest, they could even reach more than 1,000 ci. If they were transported to Heishan, even if the officials were honest and the cooperation of the Yellow River waterways, the freight fee for each bucket would not be less than 700 ci.
Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, it was a very impressive progress, especially in its military significance. If the Song and Liao Dynasty launched a major battle in this area, the number of troops participating in the Song Dynasty as long as the scale of the war reached more than 100,000, then the various food and supplies needed on the front line would reach one million stones.
If it were the original transportation method, it was not a question of how high the cost was, but it was impossible to transport so much materials to the front line in a short period of time. Therefore, it was often the lonely army and the front line was gradually lost.
This is also the reason why some ministers opposed the opening of Bianyin Mountain. In order to solve this problem, Wang Juxiuxiu water conservancy, established border troops, and opened military farms. However, if the general battle broke out, it would still not be able to solve the logistics difficulties well, even though there were a large number of officers and soldiers stationed on the five sides of the border.
The battle last year was not counted because the court prepared for this battle for several years, and the waste was indeed serious. The food sent from Sanmenxia was transported to the front line, and often only one stone was left, and all of them were consumed halfway.
But that doesn't matter. Many materials and supplies were transported to Hengshan and Lanzhou fronts in advance. Later, the food and supplies rights were used as relief. The entire Xixia area was almost destroyed. All the military and civilians in Xixia could not be killed together. Then let them work and let them be civil servants. The food and supplies were distributed through labor, including some people in the pass, and the production was also damaged, and the nature was different.
In fact, it is not only for military purposes, but even if there is no war, if this road is available, it will have great civilian value and will be conducive to the prosperity of the northwest.
As long as you do not restrain the people, you can create a lot of industrial value.
Shen Kuo would not be so selfless. His idea was that you were fighting over it, so I just kept building roads. If such a large-scale railway was repaired, at least five or six years later, the little emperor had already taken power. Can you still be so rampant?
But he was wrong, and no one paid attention to him at first. But Shen Kuo took the initiative to jump out and pay attention to Shen Kuo together.
What else do you want to use troops? Isn’t it enough for you to ruin Yongle City to have 300,000 people?
The court issued an edict to demote him to Zunyi Army.
Don't take it seriously, the Song Dynasty did not manage it here at all.
In the Song Dynasty, the army was shaking in Juzhou and other places, and the barbarians in the depths of Kuixia were shocked and came to the court to ask for support. So the court established Bozhou, Zhenzhou, Sizhou and other banished states, and then established Zunyi Army in the southern part of Bozhou.
Then Wang Ju's strategy was adopted. The subordinates of each state divided many counties, and often a state could set up dozens of prison counties to differentiate and prevent the situation like Nanzhao and Nong Zhigao. Then, the heads of various divisions, the prefectures and county magistrates, and the court would also take out some money and materials as their salary, which was still a way to buy peace.
You are officials of the court and have to accept the control of the court. So under the leadership of the court, they were asked to mobilize the people to build roads and open up trade exchanges in order to improve the backward appearance of this area. Otherwise, even if they were left to the Song Dynasty for governance, there would be no way to govern.
Even if it doesn’t work, I just want you not to cause trouble, that is Amitabha.
In other words, although the imperial court established such prefectures and hundreds of counties, there were no officials or soldiers stationed at all.
And the Zunyi Army is at its deepest point.
To be continued...
