Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 561 The right to know Hangzhou military affairs 7
Everyone took their seats one by one. Of course, Wang Ang was the first one on the left, and the following were the official affairs of the Hangzhou Judgment Office, the records of joining the army, etc. Liu Renfeng knew Renhe County. seat.

In the Song Dynasty, the left is the top, and as a general judge, it is naturally the first on the left; Renhe County is the city of Hangzhou, and the magistrate deserves to be the first among the nine counties. Of course, the first on the right is the first. Postponed.

"Everyone, I am ordered to guard Hangzhou, control Liangzhe Road, and take charge of the affairs of the southeast countries. For the first time, I invite the general judge, all staff members, and counties and counties to discuss. I also hope that you can work together to share the worries of the emperor. I have lived up to the entrustment of the officials and the expectations of the common people, besides meeting with you today, I have important matters to discuss." Wang Xiu tried her best to maintain a smile, her tone was polite.

Wang Ang glanced at Wang Xiu, and his eyes were very unhappy. According to the system, the governor of the prefecture must first discuss with the general judge when encountering major issues, and then he can convene the officials of the prefecture to discuss together, or make a notice and send it to the counties. How could Wang Xiu make a surprise attack? .

He curled his lips and said in a deep voice: "How big is it, how come the lower officials don't know?"

Facing Wang Ang's dissatisfaction, Wang Xiu still smiled and said in a warm voice: "The captives are raging and constantly invading the Central Plains. The people are poor and the world’s financial resources are exhausted. It is also the plan of the two governments to go south with the order. Hangzhou and even Liangzhe Road will be used as the place for the implementation of the New Deal. Trade solves the country's shortage of expenses, accumulates wealth to enrich storage, and relieves the suffering of ordinary people."

Everyone kept nodding after listening to it, and some people said yes, but it can be seen that many people's attitudes are extremely reluctant, and their faces are not so natural. Everyone will say what the official said, and Wang Xiu's words are not very innovative.

Wang Ang looked at Wang Xiu again, his eyes were playful, and he said: "What Wang Xianggong said to persuade a farmer and mulberry is very in line with the way of a sage, but encouraging maritime merchants and expanding trade is the last word. That's right, why encourage and support it? Once the government intervenes, wouldn't it be a waste of money? To expand the navy and conquer the South China Sea, wouldn't it mean to send troops to conquer the countries in the South China Sea, use troops lightly, and spread thousands of miles of sea territory, which is dangerous and unpredictable Not to mention, the barbarians in the South China Sea are small and poor, what is the gain and what is the loss? What's more, the barbarians in the South China Sea want to respect the imperial court and keep making offerings. Crushing for no reason is not moral, and will make the imperial court lose the prestige of the South China Sea. Hangzhou, don’t talk about military affairs lightly!”

The corner of Zong Liang's mouth twitched, and he glared at Wang Ang very unfriendlyly, but found Wang Xiu's expression of indifference.

"Daoyi, what does the judge think is morality?" Wang Xiu showed a sarcasm smile, how could he fail to understand what Wang Ang meant, and clearly accused him of coveting small profits, abandoning the way of a saint, and what's more, pointing at him It's just a local guard, it's unseemly to talk lightly about the conquest, and it's unfathomable to say it deep down.

Wang Ang is not important to him. He can only be restrained in Hangzhou government affairs. Not to mention the affairs of various countries as the Prime Minister, he should control the affairs of countries in the South China Sea.Don't talk about overseas related affairs, even the government affairs of Liangzhe Road, Wang Angneng is not involved.

However, he felt that it was necessary to properly handle the relationship with Wang Ang. The thousand-mile embankment collapsed in an ant's nest. At least he could win over the majority of people and reduce the resistance to governance. After all, he still had to use these people to do things.

"The Shang Kingdom governed the nations with benevolence and righteousness, and educated the barbarians with etiquette. The king's conquest was to do justice for the heavens, to punish injustice, and it was a last resort. Shang Tang punished the summer moose, and King Wu defeated Zhou. Tyranny. According to what Wang Xianggong said, the small country in the South China Sea has been diligent in cultivating and offering sacrifices, and has never lost its virtue. How can it be my majestic celestial dynasty who raises troops to destroy the country, occupies its land, and enslaves its people?"

Wang Xiu curled her lips. Those sour arguments can only be talked about, and they can't be put on the table. Have you forgotten that Yongzhou was massacred by Jiaozhi people in Renzong's time?Those small countries who don't know the importance, if it weren't for the mountainousness of Jiaozhi, his South China Sea policy would definitely wipe out the white-eyed wolf, gain an important forward base, and let the Song Dynasty navy avoid the South China Sea full of hidden reefs.

He smiled disdainfully in his heart, but his face was very calm, and he said indifferently: "Shang Tang's attack on Xia Mi was the son's father's rule, and Wu Wang's attack on Zhou was his subordinates' attack on the king. Don't you hear that Mencius said that benevolence and righteousness are used to fight against injustice. Why? Bleeding and floating oars. The two empresses have never lost their virtue, why go north hunting?"

"The captives are cunning and treacherous..." Wang Ang was speechless. He really couldn't find any reason to refute. He couldn't say that the emperor was unvirtuous. Row.

"Huawai barbarians are disdained by the Celestial Empire." Zhu Song said dissatisfiedly, he hated Wang Xiu to the bone, because the blood vomiting by Jinming Lake was notorious!
"What a barbarian." Wang Xiu glanced at Zhu Song. Years of experience had made this guy much older, but his character hadn't changed a bit.

He sneered coldly, and said in a deep voice: "The imperial court is so benevolent and righteous to the captives, why do they push forward? It is nothing more than that the people of the country respect martial arts and have strong soldiers and horses. Think about it, everyone, there is one or several countries in the South China Sea. To spy on my southern border."

"There are 10 people in the Jurchen area, and the party is only on the decline. Even if the imperial court exhausts its national power, it is still not enough to support it. If the Nanyi are well aware of the situation and plotting behind the scenes, what can they do? Villages, planting mulberry, opening mines, monitoring and subjugation to other countries, crusade against rebellious countries, controlling the South China Sea, and using its beautiful mountains and rivers for our Song Dynasty, wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds.”

He also understands that these officials cannot be persuaded, and he doesn't have much patience to waste his words. He said three times as light as water. He believes that they have benefited from overseas trade and will not have too much opposition to trade. These people can't accept it, so they just have to replace it.

However, with the continuous development of the Great Song Navy, I believe that the wealth will change many of them.

"Three years since Mr. Liu knew Hangzhou, the political affairs have been stable, and the disasters and damages in Fangla have basically been brought to peace. However, natural disasters continue, food prices remain high, and the hardships of life and people remain the same.

I am an expert and I have seen Guantang in various places and said it is very good. I have been walking around these days, but I am deeply touched.I don't want to say more, the northern military depends on the southeast water transport, and the country cannot be shaken!
"My lord, it's autumn now, and the summer rice has been harvested. There should be surplus grain in the households of the common people. I think they won't miss the farming season. The rice in Suzhou and Hangzhou is harvested twice a year, which is enough to support the country. Even if there was a flood last year, the Changping warehouse will not be short. , nothing will happen." Zhu Song said politely and firmly.
