Chapter 591: Forced

Wang Anshi, Zeng Bu, Zhang Dun and Deng Wan walked slowly in the exhibition hall and looked at the real objects from the Hetao Plain.

Standing in front of the huge Xixia crossbow, Wang Anshi asked: "Has your Majesty come to see it?"

Zeng Bu replaced Lu Huiqing and became the new prosecutor in the fifth room. He immediately said: "Your Majesty has been here every day for the past few days, and then he went to the shooting range of Yulong Nuzhi to practice his magic gun. What is Su Mingrun doing? He obviously won the battle.

, but to increase others’ ambition and destroy one’s own prestige?”

Wang Anshi sighed: "Have you ever seen Su Mingrun who takes credit and is arrogant? He is telling His Majesty that Xixia is still very powerful and cannot be wiped out with just one or two small victories. The current situation between Song and Xia is still in the stalemate stage."

Zhang Dun expressed his dissatisfaction: "At this time when a man is making great achievements, my husband, would you like to urge Han Xueshi? Shaanxi, Qing and Tang Dynasties have all taken action, and Yongxing Military Road, shouldn't we also be more active?"

Wang Anshi waved his hand: "One hundred thousand Xia troops just ravaged Huanqing, what do you want him to do?"

Zeng Bu said: "At the beginning, Su Mingrun was appointed as the manager, and Han Shenzheng was appointed as the transfer. As a result, Su Mingrun gained a lot of military glory for the old Shaanxi ministry. Wasn't it agreed that he would be the manager of Hehuang and the left and right arm of Hengshan? Why did Weizhou become the boss?

?”

"My lord, why don't we let Su Mingrun and Han Shenzheng each take charge of military affairs, otherwise it will be difficult for Han Gong to intervene in the military affairs. We don't know how long the Hengshan strategy will be delayed."

Deng Wan felt extremely lucky to defect to Wang Anshi. He was the governor of Qingzhou before and perfectly escaped the cruel war.

After thinking for a while, he said: "My husband, Su Mingrun and Han Gong, actually did this at the border."

"But the name is not justified. You must know that now that Su Mingrun has taken Shimen Gorge and blocked the exit of Tiandu Mountain, Weizhou has become the rear area and operates like an iron barrel."

"The Xixia people are not stupid either. The Yongxing military road that follows will definitely be a place for great battles."

Zhang Dun said: "What Wen Yue said is reasonable. If Han Gong does nothing in the Yongxing army, I'm afraid..."

Everyone understood what Zhang Dun meant.

Han Jiang was the deputy envoy to the Privy Council, and he was a transfer envoy to those who participated in political affairs and foreign affairs. As a result, when he arrived in Yanzhou, Su You took away more than half of his financial power. Moreover, the military and civilians of Shaanxi, the officialdom, and the scholars still took it for granted.

Although Su You is not a conservative, he has received strong support from conservatives in Shaanxi. If the reformists continue to show no performance, it may affect the direction of the court.

Wang Anshi said: "Su Mingrun's economic ability... Baojia Law was originally used to solve the military problem, but it turned out that he could also use it to solve the economic problem..."

Speaking of this, Deng Wan became angry: "My lord, what Su Mingrun did was just to deal with Zhongshu. The Qingmiao Law was exempted from practice in Shaanxi, so I won't talk about it. The exemption law and the Baojia Law were all taken away from us by him.

, to pretend to be his own!"

Zhang Dun was very pragmatic: "We have to look at the results. Isn't the purpose of the new law ultimately to achieve results?"

"Su Mingrun plundered Xixia once. Now he has a rich pocket and has the ability to pay laborers, so he doesn't need to collect it from various households."

"Could Zhongshu still be able to force him to do it? Doesn't that mean he is destroying his benevolence and committing violence? Your Majesty, even the public discussion will not agree to it."

"The exemption law is to solve the problem of insufficient local public service funds. This problem does not exist in Su Mingrun. He can also allocate money and food to support the Yongxing Army!"

"Since the problem does not exist, we still need to forcefully set the method. Isn't this Zhu Hongman's fault?!"

Zhu Shengman is an allusion in "Zhuangzi". This boy learned to slay dragons from Zhi Liyi, and defeated the entire family of a rich man. After three years, his skills were great, but he lost his eggs, "but he did not use his skills."

Wang Anshi stroked the crossbow on the bed: "A victory brings too many benefits. This is what Mingrun calls the 'war dividend'..."

Deng Wan said: "There is also the farmland water conservancy law. Nowadays, many places are not implementing it effectively. The best situation is on Jinghu North and South Road. The results reported by various places are gratifying, but..."

Wang Anshi asked: "But what?"

Deng Wan was a little embarrassed: "However, those who invested in building dikes and opening dikes to divert water were all... Shu merchants, or Wu merchants, but the purpose of Wu merchants was also to exchange goods with Shu."

Zhang Dun said: "My lord, you can no longer be passive. In this way, all the complaints will be attributed to us, and all the benefits will be attributed to them. This..."

Wang Anshi said: "What suggestions does Zihou have?"

Deng Wan handed over his hand: "Use your strengths and divide your power! Since the development of Jinghu Lake has such great benefits, it should be the focus of the court, otherwise it will become a backbreaking work for us, and all the advantages will be taken away by Shu merchants!"

Wang Anshi was speechless. Su You had reported this matter to him in detail, but Lu Huiqing, Wang Yu and others thought the results were too slow and thought it was Su You's delaying strategy.

Fortunately, it was not too late to react at this time. After all, no one can take down a large artificial lake like Chaohu without the power of the country.

But this means that the reformists are being forced by Soviet oil to implement his ideas. If he does, will it cause harm to the reformists?

Thinking of this, Wang Anshi secretly called it a fluke. Except for a few people who knew that Su You had not promoted it vigorously, this boy was just an agent of the Sitong Company, and used it to help various places to achieve great achievements in farmland and water conservancy treaties in Jinghu Road.

earned a lot.

Now it seems that the plan proposed by Su You is indeed feasible. After the malaria problem is solved, Jinghu has become a good place.

If the imperial court were not more proactive, the country's profits would be too great for the merchants.

But to make a profit, you need to invest first. He is not a robber like Su You. He made a fortune from Xixia's national crisis. Where did this capital come from?

Deng Wan suggested: "There are countless public fields in Guanghui Cang. Now that Xue Xiang has inspected the field registers clearly, the shipping department needs rice instead of rice fields. It is completely possible to sell it to the private sector and then use the collected money as principal."

Jinghu, it’s easy to get more with less!”

Wang Anshi rapped his knuckles on the arm of the giant crossbow and muttered: "This matter is inseparable from Shuzhong's support, their machinery, technology, and medicine..."

Finally, he made up his mind: "Zihou, where is Jinghu's situation?"

Zhang Dun immediately replied: "Kuizhou!"

"Kuizhou connects Emin at the top and overlooks Jinghu Lake at the bottom. The turnover of materials can exceed tens of thousands per day."

"If you want to manage Jinghu Lake, you must rely on Shuzhong. If you want to rely on Shuzhong, you must control Kui Gorge."

Wang Anshi said: "Exactly, so this appointment belongs to you. You know Su Mingrun in Kuizhou, and they will support you."

Zhang Dun couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Then...I'll try my best."

Su Mingrun is not easy to mess with, and with Zhang Dun's attitude, he dare not say that he can do better than him in Kuizhou.

It is still the basic base of Jiangsu Province, just like Jiangling is to Wang Anshi, Fujian is to Lu Huiqing, Shaanxi is to Sima Guang, and Shaanxi is to Zhong Jia.

It would be fine if we maintain the governance inertia in Kuizhou, but if we make more serious changes in the governance of Kuizhou, it would be considered as overstepping the limit.

I don’t know if Su You is trustworthy about himself. If he is not trustworthy, it will inevitably lead to a rebound.

Wang Anshi pondered for a moment: "Let Su Mingrun and Zihua take charge of the military and political affairs of the Shaanxi and Yongxing armies. All the armies in Shaanxi have internal officers to supervise the armies. There should be no objections from Your Majesty."

This is also an exchange of interests. Although the official position is not promoted, the power of both people is enlarged.

Mount your horse to manage the army, and dismount your horse to manage the people. This is the treatment only given to pastoralists in the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Deng Wan felt happy in her heart. Her goal of letting Zhang Dun leave the court had been achieved.

…

The hint from the court made Han Jiang feel a lot of pressure.

In terms of military affairs, Su Mingrun next door is an example, so Han Jiang called Zhong'e to ask about the strategy. How did Su Mingrun win so easily?

Zhong E analyzed: "What Su Mingrun relies on is the Tibetan people, intelligence, and strongholds, but the enemy is outside the country's borders."

Therefore, we should launch the Hengshan strategy and no longer be passive.

Han Jiang felt that it was very reasonable, so he opened his office in Yan'an, and appointed Zhong'e as the military commander, and appointed Wang Wenliang, the fugitive slave of the Xixia Pang family, as the intelligence officer. He selected Tibetan soldiers as the Seventh Army, and placed Zhong'e under the jurisdiction of Yanyan, and educated Qingjian City.

All generals in the Yongxing Army were ordered to be under his control.

Guo Kui, the pacifying envoy of Yongxing Military Road, expressed his dissatisfaction: "E is so crazy that the imperial court will only use it because of Zhong's family background, and it will definitely miss important things."
