After seeing off Yan Shu and Fu Bi's son-in-law, Zhao Xin sat on the bed, closed the door and meditated. "Fu Bi, after all, he is a bit young..." he thought in his heart.
Today, Fu Bi will be in his thirties. Physically speaking, Fu Bi may have matured.
But on the main stage, he is too young.
How can a person in his thirties act cautiously and think twice before taking a step like Yan Shu, Lu Yijian, and Zhang De?
Of course, what the Song Dynasty needs now is young people like Fu Bi.
If you want to do something, you can't think too much.
If the court is really full of Yan Shu, Lu Yijian and others, then there is no need to do anything.
Let's sit in the court hall every day and stare at each other.
However, this incident also gave Zhao Xin a wake-up call.
Eggs cannot be put in one basket.
It’s better to find a few spare tires.
It's just...it's really hard to find an excellent spare tire like Fubi!
In the short term, there will be very few products in Bianjing that can compete with it!
For example, Wen Yanbo, who can play Cuju as well as Gao Qiu, is currently repairing the earth in Linzhou!
Ministers like Ouyang Xiu, Zhang Fangping, and Jia Changqi are too old, and it is difficult for Zhao Xin to control them now.
As for those younger than Fu Bi.
People like Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong are still just young boys. I'm afraid they haven't even figured out what Zhengzhi is.
Suddenly, a name flashed in Zhao Xin's mind.
"Zhi Zhi Gao Zhi Jian Yuan Liang Shi..." Then, Liang Shi's resume appeared in Zhao Xin's mind.
It is different from great writers like Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo, and Ouyang Xiu who are all talented, beautiful in their writing, and gorgeous in their rhetoric.
Liang Shi was very simple.
The writing of the article is very ordinary, the poems and songs are also very ordinary, and the same is true for his conduct as a person and his actions.
However, great skill has no workmanship, and a heavy sword has no edge.
Although Liang Shi's literary talent was average, in Zhao Xin's opinion, his ability to govern the world was unmatched by anyone in the contemporary era!
Five years ago, Liang Shi knew that the Huaiyang army had moved to Yanzhou to the left.
During his tenure in Yanzhou, Liang Shi carried out drastic reforms. The legacy of his reforms benefited even Zhao Xin in his previous life!
Because it was he who turned Yanzhou into the Ruhr Industrial Park of the Song Dynasty, a super monster with an annual output of 1.2 million kilograms of iron!
In the Northern Song Dynasty, one kilogram was about 680 grams, and 1.2 million kilograms was 816,000 tons.
What is this concept?
The Hanyang Iron Works founded by Zhang Zhidong in the late Qing Dynasty produced only 120,000 tons of steel per year!
Before the British Industrial Revolution, the country's steel output was no more than 70,000 to 80,000 tons a year.
In today's Song Dynasty, Yanzhou, Shandong, lies a super monster with an annual output of more than 800,000 tons.
I am afraid that the total pig iron production of all other countries in the world, except the Song Dynasty, is less than half of Yanzhou's pig iron production.
Liang Shi's reforms in Yanzhou are actually not surprising to later generations.
He only did one thing - let go of restraints, break restrictions, contract production, and place responsibility on people.
In fact, it means contracting out the iron mines and smelting workshops that were originally exclusively owned by the state to private individuals.
Then sign a contract with these people and agree that the income will be divided into eight parts for the officials and eight for the civilians.
As a result, productivity increased rapidly and production efficiency continued to increase.
Within a few years, Yanzhou's pig iron production tripled.
A large number of iron smelting and forging companies with superb skills and sophisticated craftsmanship have emerged.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xin's heart became hot.
In the early days of his previous life, what he lacked the most was talents like Liang Shi.
Unfortunately, by the time he came to power, Liang Shi had already resigned and went into seclusion. Even if he personally sent envoys and invited him many times, he refused to come out because he had been heartbroken by Zhengtan and never wanted to get involved in it again.
This makes Zhao Xin really regretful.
Today, Liang Shi is in his prime and full of ambition.
Zhao Xin believed that as long as he hooked his hand, Liang Shi would rush to serve him.
But the problem is...
Like Fu Bi, Liang Shi was also a friend of Fan Zhongyan.
The friendship between the two is extraordinary!
For example, last year, Fan Zhongyan was appointed as the Deputy Envoy of Shaanxi Economic Strategy and Appeasement. At that time, Zhao Zhen was very worried about Fan Zhongyan, so he wanted to play with the old Zhao family's ancestral system of large and small ministers along the border.
The enemy Gao Ruona sent Zhi Yongxing's army to Qiyan Road to contain and monitor Fan Zhongyan.
At that time, the government and the public were as silent as a cicada, and even Fu Bi did not dare to speak out.
Because this is the ancestral system!
Only Liang Shi, regardless of tradition and his own future, stepped forward and wrote a letter to dissuade him, saying bluntly that if Gao Ruona went to Qiyan Road, then Fan Zhongyan would stop doing anything.
Therefore, Zhao Zhen gave up and sentenced Gao Ruona to Liu Neiquan as compensation.
Therefore, Liang Shi was also on Fan Zhongyan's list of cronies.
In other words, if Zhao Xin uses Liang Shi again, I am afraid that the DPRK and the Central Committee will have something to say.
It will give Fan Zhongyan a head-on blow. I am afraid that he will never be able to return to the DPRK in his life. Guo Ben is surrounded by your people, and you still want to return to Beijing? Dream on! Just guard the border in Yanzhou for the rest of your life.
"So I have to find a way to build a plank road openly and secretly to Chencang..." Zhao Xin thought, then he opened his eyes and told Gan Zhaoji, who had been serving beside him: "Gan Chong class, tomorrow you will summon someone for me...
…”
"Please give me your instructions..."
"Gao Ruona, the Minister of the Tianzhang Pavilion, Quanjing Shangshu and the Punishment Department!" Zhao Xin spat out this name.
"I sincerely honor your virtue!" Gan Zhaoji immediately bowed and kept this matter in mind.
Zhao Xin, on the other hand, had a smile on his face.
Gao Ruona is a good knife!
Calling him here will allow both the government and the public to see that he is not a person who listens to only one belief.
Not to mention someone who would favor or favor the New Party.
Although this is also true.
After experiencing the failed rule in his previous life, Zhao Xin has understood.
Where is the new party and the old party?
Aren’t they all a group of scholar-officials, landlords and nobles?
The New Party is made up of landlords and scholar-bureaucrats, and the Old Party is also made up of landlords and scholar-officials.
Reforms come and go, but they are still spinning around in one-third of an acre of land owned by landlords and scholar-bureaucrats.
Therefore, in his previous life, Zhao Xin had already seen through it in his later years.
As a result, all the labels and disguises wrapped around these people fell off.
All concepts of loyalty, treachery, good and evil, right and wrong, have faded away, leaving only two concepts.
One is called available and useful.
One is called useless and cannot be used.
So we drive out those who are not usable and use them, and use those who are usable and useful.
The world suddenly became much quieter, and the country's political affairs became smooth again. Unfortunately, by that time, he was already old and his body functions were all declining. Therefore, he could no longer change anything and could only watch himself facing failure.
Fortunately, he was lucky enough to survive a second life!
"A good knife must be used in the right place..." Zhao Xin laughed: "It is just right to use Gao Ruona now!"
Because, if Zhao Xin remembers correctly, this winter, Gao Ruonei will have to stay on guard because of his father's death.
You see, doesn't this mean that Liang Shi can be straightened up without others having anything to say?
