Although the departure of the veterans made Zhao Jiu very sad, this was also an unchangeable law of life. He could only try his best to adjust his mentality and treat other veterans better.
For example, Chen Gongfu, the Minister of Civil Affairs, has been on sick leave for three months in a year. Although he is ambitious, he also understands that time is not forgiving. So, after a sincere discussion with him, Zhao Guanjia promoted him to the position of deputy governor of the capital.
My husband, let him retire as a deputy national leader later.
At the same time, his good friend Li Guang was transferred back to Tokyo and served as Minister of Civil Affairs. Soon after, he also entered the provincial capital as deputy prime minister to share Zhao Ding's work pressure.
The situation in the Privy Council was even more urgent. Ma Kuo, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was also promoted to the Privy Council and helped Zhang Jun. Not to mention that Han Shizhong couldn't do the specific work of the Privy Council, but he could do it. After the battle of Zhengnan, he and Zhang Jun also
Fire and water are incompatible.
Later, Zhao Yuanxian, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, was appointed as the envoy to the southeast. Chen Kangbo, the minister of the Imperial Academy, was appointed as the minister of the Ministry of Rites. Zhang Jiu, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, became the minister.
As for Lu Zhi, just like Wan Qixi, he put aside the past and became the governor of Hedong Road again. Considering the important position of Taiyuan City, it was definitely a good job.
The situation of the remaining personnel will not be described one by one.
This personnel transfer is a bit big, but everyone understands that after all, there is nothing to do if the old ministers wither. And the phenomenon of Mesozoic era chronology caused by the Jingkang scandal is very serious. More importantly, after the official family opened up territory and expanded its territory, a large number of officials were vacant. But they couldn't
Substandard goods are passed off as good ones, because local officials directly decide the life and death of people in a county or even a state.
Therefore, Zhao Guan's family had no choice but to do something he despised again, which was to use a large number of high-ranking officials' children to serve as local officials. After all, the moral bottom line of these officials and princes was generally higher, and they had followed their father since they were young, following the gourd paintings.
It shouldn't be too bad.
For example, Zhao Ding's eldest son, Zhao Fen, was promoted to two levels in a row and became the magistrate of Chizhou.
Another example is Li Guang's eldest son, who has been transferred to Yanjing by Hu Yin to serve as the governor of Quan Yanjing, and he repeatedly praised his construction talents.
However, these two are not only high-ranking officials, but also serious scholars, so they are not shuddering.
Don’t you see that even a little carrot like Yang Wanli has been sent out to be the county magistrate?
Due to the successive deaths of prime ministers, although the imperial examination was still held in Tokyo, it was postponed for a month. At the first court meeting after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Zhao family officially announced that the capital would be moved next year.
From then on, the Song Dynasty took Yanjing as its capital, Tokyo as its central capital, Chang'an as its western capital, and Hangzhou as its southern capital.
Liu Ji, the deputy provincial minister, went to Yanjing in advance to prepare various matters.
Although there are no six departments, the dental equipment of Yingfu Prefecture is set up according to that of Kaifeng Prefecture.
This has also become a hot topic in this imperial examination. Many liberal arts candidates are even discussing whether the four capital system will be used as test points, and whether this is learning from the system of the Liao Dynasty?
The martial arts students were a little too noisy, because Tokyo is not like Yanjing, the folk customs are more fierce, and there are many open areas. Whether everyone is competing in martial arts or discussing, there has been a lot of commotion, and the main store has been
They smashed several tables. Hu Hong of Kaifeng Prefecture had to maintain stability despite his busy schedule. With a dark face, he clearly told the noisy martial arts masters that this is not the battlefield of Jiaozhi. You just want to make achievements, so give me some peace of mind.
In the future, go to the battlefield to build it, otherwise I will notify the martial arts master and record a demerit.
In addition, some people with backgrounds who are not convinced also make slanderous remarks. Don’t you know that my brother (Hu Yin) has a very good relationship with King Han Qin?
In this way, this imperial examination finally passed without any danger. In fact, after so many years of peaceful development, although the Zhao Guan family determined that Yuan Xue was the mainstream of the Song Dynasty school, every literati and officials had their own opinions, and the elites
They are also constantly researching, including masters in martial arts, and their opinions on the art of war are different, but these are what the Zhao Guan family is willing to see. After all, it is always good for a hundred flowers to bloom and a hundred schools of thought to contend.
The premise is not to oppose the Song Dynasty. Of course, no one thinks that way. Just don’t open it. Everyone is an establishment faction. Isn’t it good to watch the country prosper within the system?
Therefore, the Zhao Guan family, who was a little more leisurely, extended the claws of arranged marriage to their two sons, the second prince Zhao Yang and the third prince Zhao Dan, and appointed the daughters of Qi Wang Zhang Jun and Lu Wang Zhang Rong as their official wives respectively.
.
Yes, I don’t know if God opened his eyes, but Zhang Rong’s wife finally gave birth to a big fat boy for him a few years ago. King Lu was so excited that he burst into tears. At the same time, he also gave up giving birth to the third girl.
The plan to recruit a wife was being sharpened during the imperial examination, and he was preparing to recruit another Jinshi son-in-law. As a result, when Zhao Guanjia proposed the idea of getting married, he was immediately overjoyed and did not care about the roll call outside Donghua Gate to find a good man. Again
Even a good man cannot compare to a prince!
The king of Qi, Zhang Jun, was even more happy. He said that he must accompany his daughter out in red makeup. Well, there is nothing you can do if you take more care, and you can't let your daughter be unable to hold her head up in front of her sisters-in-law.
Completely ignoring that the two princes are not yet of marriageable age, they will have to wait at least five or six years before discussing this issue.
Wu and Pan were not very satisfied with this. Zhang Rong was born in a reckless way, and Zhang Jun was famous for being greedy for money. He was far inferior to Han Yue and Han Yue. But the problem was that Zhao Guan's family was arbitrary, and nothing the second concubine said was of any use.
.
I don't know if the Zhao Guan family's handling of their own family affairs attracted others' attention, but anyway, there were a few censors clamoring to ask for a queen.
This is not because they have nothing to do when they are full, but because of their responsibilities. Queen Xianjie has been gone for more than ten years, and her position in the middle palace has been vacant for more than ten years. This is actually not in line with feudal etiquette.
Because the queen is not a concubine, she has a strong political significance. However, it is disadvantageous for the Zhao Guan family to be willful. As they say, I will not listen.
However, a big event soon happened, which attracted the attention of the whole of Tokyo and even the Song Dynasty, and no one mentioned it again.
Six hundred miles from Quanzhou Port, we hurriedly reported to Zhao Guan's family that the ship that had been lost by King Zhang Jun of Qi had returned in a dilapidated state.
This is really big news. Who would have thought that if you get lost at sea and drift for more than a year, you can still come back?
Zhao Guan's family urgently summoned these people and asked them where they had gone. It turned out that the number of people was wrong. Some of the people who came back were as skinny as monkeys and were wearing animal skins.
Zhao Jiu's heart was beating wildly. He wished he could ask you if you had drifted to South America? Unfortunately, he also knew that these people had no idea what South America and Indians were.
Fortunately, the sailors who led the team and the clerk who supervised them were both shrewd and quickly explained that they had encountered a hurricane and had drifted to nowhere. Later, with the blessing of the officials, the sailors adjusted their direction in time and drifted along the ocean current.
A big island that I have never been to. There used to be residents in these places who didn't know what to say, but they were captured and used as slaves.
Most of the sailors on this ship were from the Imperial Right Army. They turned into warriors when they picked them up, so these red-haired ones became slaves and followed them back.
Zhao Guan's family almost roared, who wants these slaves? The Song Dynasty has long abolished slavery, won't you bring back some seeds? I want everything from corn, potatoes, peanuts, tomatoes, and coffee.
But in fact, Zhao Guanjia’s requirements were really too high. If he had asked carefully and had good geography knowledge, he would have discovered that the ship followed the ocean currents to Australia to replenish water and food, and then drifted to present-day Peru.
There is a large island nearby. With the sailing technology of this era, it will not be easy to come back alive.
Although the merchants did not know that Zhao Guan's family had so many needs, they did bring some of the novel species back to him. After careful identification, Zhao Guan's family confirmed that this thing was the one he had not seen in his dreams for fifteen years.
of corn.
Miscellaneous books of the Song Dynasty record: During the Jianyan Period, a ship encountered wind and arrived at the Unnamed Island, carrying unknown objects to the Central Plains. The ancestors of the Song Dynasty observed its appearance and named it "corn". Then it was sown in the Central Plains, and even in the south of the Yangtze River and the two lakes. Within ten years, the yield per mu was
Multiplied. The people are grateful for the kindness of their ancestors and regard it as auspicious blessings from God.
