I am Da Song

Chapter 158
When the prime minister introduced Yang Shi, it can be said that there were many twists and turns.

Zhao Huan asked suspiciously: "This Yang Shi is not a member of the Yuanyou party, is he?"

Li Gang replied categorically: "Officials, Yang Shi is by no means a member of the Yuanyou Party, he is a staunch minister of the main battle faction. When the Jin army invaded, he wrote a letter recommending defense, and strongly opposed the cession of land, saying that Heshuo was an important place for the court. , and the three towns are also the important vassals of Heshuo. From Zhou Shizong to Taizu and Taizong, they were won after hundreds of battles. Once the Beiting was abandoned, the enemy cavalry drove them through my heart, and they could reach the capital in a few days. "

"When the minister fell, Chen Dong, an imperial student, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Tokyo gathered under the palace to petition. The imperial court wanted to guard against it by banning the army, and it was Yang Shi who stabilized the situation. Therefore, he was worshiped as a sacrificial wine for the Imperial College."

Guozijian sacrificial wine!Zhao Huan's eyes lit up, this is the principal of the Tai students in this era.

Taisheng's performance in the Battle of Tokyo was magnificent.It deserves to be the backbone of the Song Dynasty.It turned out that they were all disciples of this old gentleman!

This finally made Zhao Huan understand why such a pillar of the country, who inherited the talents of the prime minister from all over the world, was not declared in history.

He is a minister of the war faction, and he strongly opposes the cession of land.Can Zhao Gou not be bored by that?
Zhao Gou didn't kill him like he killed Chen Dong, so it was a special kindness.

Zhao Huan looked at Mei Zhili. Yang Shi and Sun Fu were natural allies, and they had saved Li Gang's career.When the two prime ministers recommended Yang, Zhao Huan could understand.What about Mei Zhili?How could he be sure that Yang Shi would also become his ally?
Mei Zhili, who had been silent all this time, also said: "I have no selfish intentions in recommending Yang Shi. I just think he is the most suitable for the position of minister. This person is knowledgeable and has the ability to help the country and the world. He must be a good minister for a generation."

"Have the talent to help the world?"

"As a scholar, he once wrote "Chunqiu Yi", which made "Spring and Autumn" more popular. As an official, he once opposed Hua Shigang and repeatedly criticized the six thieves including Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Zhu Yu, and Wang Fu. Jimin once Lead the people to build Xianghu Lake, which has an area of ​​more than 7000 mu, with a circumference of more than 14 miles, and can irrigate more than [-] mu of farmland; "

"More importantly, he is the most suitable for the post of planner. He has repeatedly asked for tax reduction and exemption for the people, and asked to abolish the two laws of tea and salt. His reform direction of taxation coincides with the official thinking."

After listening, Zhao Huan's heart trembled, this is the talent that best suits his needs!It can be said that a great talent came from heaven to Da Song.

Very likely, this is Zhang Juzheng of Song Dynasty!

He is very similar to Zhang Juzheng, he is equally knowledgeable and talented, he is also favored by the prime ministers (chief ministers) of the imperial court, and he also has the ability to benefit the world.

More importantly, he has a very discerning eye on tax adjustments!
It's hard to say whether putting him in charge of the third department will directly form a whipping method in the Song version.

Zhao Huan has always wanted to reform taxation, but he belongs to the kind of player with high eyesight and low abilities.There are all kinds of advanced ideas in the air, and it is difficult to implement them.

For example, Zhao Huan knew very well that the disadvantage of the Song Dynasty was that there were too many miscellaneous taxes, and various poll taxes should be reduced or exempted for the people.But how to cut, how to maintain national taxation, he has no impression.

As for the salt and iron official camp and the tea official camp, Zhao Huan is very clear that this must be reformed.But how to reform, how to reduce the price of salt and tea in the Song Dynasty, let alone he has no impression, he is at a loss.

It is impossible for an otaku to abolish the tea and salt official camps with one clap of both hands, and the taxation of the Song Dynasty will be healthy immediately.The price of salt immediately plummeted tenfold.

As a matter of fact, Zhao Huan still has no conclusion on whether to abolish the two laws of tea and salt and how to abolish them.

And with this prime minister who is knowledgeable, rich in political achievements, and a talent for helping the country and the world, many of Zhao Huan's ideas can gradually be implemented.

He was able to provide a guarantee for Zhao Huan, but at worst, the Jingkang reform presided over by Zhao Huan also had the level of a whip method.

If Zhao Huan's more advanced theory can be transformed into practice through him, then the civilization of Song Dynasty will be further improved, crushing other countries in this era.

In the end, Zhao Huan made a decision and said: "Immediately promote Yang Shi to be the envoy of the third division, and ask him to preside over the affairs of the third division and rebuild our dynasty's taxation system."

A talent like Zhao Gou who can't be used, I want to turn him into the most outstanding prime minister in the Song Dynasty!
Later generations said that there was no general in the Northern Song Dynasty and no Prime Minister in the Southern Song Dynasty.As the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, now he not only has a prime minister who has benefited the world, but also a military general who will last forever.Why worry about not being able to rejuvenate the Song Dynasty?
No, it can't be called Zhongxing, it should be the creation of a prosperous age belonging to the Song Dynasty!Just like the rule of Yonghui, Kaiyuan flourished.

Zhao Huan is not a visionary, but vigorous and resolute.

Yang Shi's appointment was issued in mid-March, and the military order was passed on to Yue Fei's Shenwu Right Army at the end of March.

"Shenwu Youjun stopped all rest and reorganization, recruited all Xiumu officers, assembled the whole army, and immediately marched southeast, regained Liangzhe Road, and opened up the connection between Tokyo and Changzhou."

Yang Shi, the prime minister who carried the tax reform of the Song Dynasty, has been living in Changzhou since he lost his official position last year because he opposed the cession of land.

Changzhou is also known as Piling, "Piling city is like a golden bucket, and the past can never be forgotten." Since the opening of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, this is "the state of the three Wu belts, and the meeting of hundreds of boats and vehicles".It is the fourth largest city after Tokyo, Hangzhou and Suzhou.

Conquering this place will not only contact Yang Shi, but also allow Da Song to regain control of the fourth-ranked economic center.It has extremely important significance in politics, economy and taxation.

The Song Dynasty must quickly rebuild the taxation system, otherwise the court will not be able to afford the counter-insurgency war in all directions.

When the military order arrived in Huainan, in the camp of the Shenwu You Army, Wang Gui was very puzzled when he saw the soldiers forming up and running.

After a good rest, the atmosphere suddenly became dignified.

Fortunately, the training of the Shenwu Right Army is strict, and the soldiers usually wear heavy armor during training, such as jumping into slopes and jumping into trenches.So the soldiers quickly assembled from the training ground without a trace of panic.

He leaned in front of Yue Fei and asked: "Taiwei, why is the court crazy? It's all right, why did you suddenly order me to wait to go south!"

Yue Fei frowned, and snapped, "As a soldier, your greatest duty is to obey orders, not question imperial orders! Go down and get fifty army sticks yourself!"

"Haha!" The other general who followed Yue Fei laughed happily, gloating at Wang Gui's misfortune.

This man was tall and strong, with thick arms. Against the background of the general's belly, the armor was extremely majestic and majestic. Standing on the spot, he looked like a strong and strong iron tower.

This is Yue Fei's new recruit, Niu Gao.

There are not only rebels in this world, but also a large number of rebels who are loyal to the royal family.

Yue Fei's Shenwu Youjun marched southward from Tokyo. Along the way, a large number of people ate pots of rice, and a large number of volunteers came to serve.

Niu Gao was the leader of one of the rebels. He led more than [-] men to join the Shenwu Youjun in Ruzhou.

He is good at using a pair of double maces, which are armor-piercing weapons. Qin Shubao, the famous founding general of the Tang Dynasty, was good at using long lances and double maces.With this sharp weapon, it can kill countless enemies even in the elite enemy army surrounded by iron armor.

In addition to double mace, his archery skills are even more powerful than the entire army.Except for Yue Fei, commander of the Shenwu Right Army, who is as powerful as a heavenly general, no one in the entire army can compare with Niu Gao in terms of archery.

It's unknown whether Niu Gao can beat Zhang Xian in fighting on the battlefield, but his archery skills really command the admiration of the whole army.

Moreover, he will take the lead in every battle, and he will never go forward. He has made countless contributions along the way, and soon replaced Zhang Xian as the former commander of the Shenwu Youjun.

Of course, Zhang Xian did not lose his official position. He was promoted to a higher rank and became the commander of the Beiwei Army, responsible for commanding the most elite cavalry of the Shenwu You Army.
