Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 571 The right to know Hangzhou military affairs 17
However, Sun Fu, Tang Ge, Qin Hui, Zhang Shuye, Tan Shiji, Cai Yi, Han Xiaozhou and others gathered in Ruisi Palace. Since there were important officials from the two governments present, Fan Zongyin, as the imperial censor, was also called to come.After they read Wang Xiu's memorial, they couldn't help booing each other, thinking about their own thoughts.

Sitting on the throne, Zhao Chen asked lazily, "What do you think about what the prince played?"

Sun Fu sighed, it's really not easy to covertly pay the prime minister, others can calmly shirk it, and even pretend to be stupid, but he can't postpone it.

After some weighing, he said slowly: "My lord Wang rented out tea farms and salt farms last time to increase local taxes, and also to benefit the people and the country; opening academies and purchasing books are also following the way of sages, and the original intention is to serve the country. Enrich the people and make the world gentle. But this meeting is asking the navy to form an independent army, including overseas, and it seems a bit overstepping to judge the army by the defenders."

"It's more than a little overstepping, it's simply audacious."

Everyone heard the sound, and looked at Han Xiaozhou, this is the new servant of the Ministry of Power, the absolute core figure of the Han family, since Han Zhuo's generation stopped, gradually faded out of the three provinces and six departments, out of the town, out of the town, guarding the palace In the view of Shougong, the generation of Han Jiaxuan began to emerge, and the century-old clan introduced the old and brought forth the new.

Although Han Xiaozhou was born in the descendant line of the Han family, he is also very lucky. Zhixiangzhou has achieved political achievements in four years, and he moved south even more. cultivation.

For the Han family, as long as they train a person with all the strength of the whole family, they are still sure to send him to the position of the sixth department of Shangshu, even if they enter the two prefectures.Of course, it depends on one's hard work and luck. Han Xiaozhou was lucky, and he really had some real talents. Coupled with Zhang Qiyuan's secret support, Wang Xiu didn't pay attention to the Han family in China and North Korea, so he went straight up to become the servant of the Ministry of Power. , should be said to be a promising upstart.

But Han Xiaozhou's face was full of righteousness, and he said in a deep voice: "Wang Xianggong guards one side for the son of heaven. He doesn't pay attention to culture, governance and education, but he sacrifices everything, blindly talks about profit, corrupts customs and morals, rents salt tea, mines, It can also be regarded as sharing the worries of the court. But he wants to have an independent navy in order to fight overseas. He knows that the people have been suffering for a long time and are about to recuperate.

"Xianggong used to be an important minister of the two governments, but now he is the leader of the southeast. How can Kuodi Overseas be the leader of the minister? What's the use of the two governments? Your Majesty, please severely reprimand."

With these words, attacking Wang Xiu directly, Qin Hui and Fan Zongyin curled their lips and scolded Han Xiaozhou for being overconfident. Could it be that they think that the wind direction has changed because of Wang Xiu's release?As Wang Xiu's spokesperson in the court, they are very aware of Wang Xiu's power, and even more understand Wang Xiu's ruthlessness, and they also know what he should do.

"Mr. Han's words are wrong. The inclusion of land in the South China Sea was discussed by the auxiliary government. Mr. Wang presides over the affairs of the countries in the South China Sea. It is the responsibility of the countries in the South China Sea. They also have the right to punish the non-subjects of the South China Sea." Qin Hui mentioned specifically. Assisting the government is to warn thoughtful people that the emperor is not yet of age, and the assistant minister is still the core of power, and it is by no means an ordinary two-government ruling.As long as you don't use the country's capital, you can earn a lot of wealth for the court, that's your ability, and the minister of the household department dares to belittle yourself.

Besides, he clicked on the affairs of the South China Sea as Prime Minister, and told everyone tactfully, don't forget Wang Xiu's job. up.

He ignored Han Xiaozhou's unfriendly gaze, and said again: "Master Han said that Lord Wang guards one side, doesn't pay attention to culture and education, but pays no attention to the basics, blindly talks about profit, and corrupts customs and morals. But I think he is deep To learn the way of Confucius and Mencius, to seek profit for the country is righteousness, and to seek profit for the people is great benevolence. Lease the salt and tea mines without paying a penny from the court, not only earning a huge amount of money at a time, but also increasing taxes for the country every year. Isn’t this righteousness, businessman Business, in order to attract customers, high quality and low price, isn’t it benevolent to benefit the people?”

"As for the conquest of the South China Sea, it was just to protect the maritime merchants. In recent years, the maritime merchants have benefited, and everyone has seen it. The pottery made of Chinese clay, the cotton cloth woven from cotton and other inexhaustible items were exchanged for overseas specialties, gold, Wouldn’t silver and copper coins be far better than giving money to the people? The navy gradually grew, and overseas cities were built to monitor the countries in the South China Sea to protect the sea lanes and facilitate escorts. The vast waters of the South China Sea are full of strong winds and waves. It is also necessary to find a few places to stay."

"I see that Lord Wang's intentions are obvious. There is a steel knife on the heads of the barbarians. In the future, the imperial court intends to regain their homeland. The navy can land and attack Yanshan Mountain. The imperial court can enjoy the benefits without any damage. Why not do it!"

Qin Hui's eloquence was more eloquent than Wang Xiu's, obviously many people agreed, especially the attack on Yanshan was very touching and directly won people's hearts.Even if you want to refute, you can't say anything. You can't object to regaining the lost ground, right?If you really dare, then wash and go home and stay there, and the spittle of the scholars will drown you.

"Master Qin, as the ruler, is becoming more and more like a minister of profit?" Han Xiaozhou blushed and retorted powerlessly. He could not argue against the role of the navy in the Northern Expedition, so he could only turn the topic to fighting for profit with the people, but Wang Xiu The policy seems to be quite beneficial to the people's livelihood, but there is nothing to say about it, and a bad breath is vented on Qin Hui.His future has reached a peak and he needs an opportunity to make a breakthrough. After careful consideration, he decided to stand on the opposite side of Wang Xiu. Even Sun Fu, Tang Ge and others are restraining Wang Xiu. He is a fool if he is not profitable.

However, Han Xiaozhou seemed to have miscalculated a bit. Sun Fu, Tang Ge and Zhang Shuye were almost on the same mind. Since Li Gang and Wang Xiu were released, they obviously felt a lot more relaxed.

Although Wang Xiu participated in important military and state affairs by assisting the government, the place is different from the imperial court after all. It is all right to keep Wang Xiu away from the imperial court even if the water army is restrained from fighting in the South China Sea. Letting Wang Xiu go overseas is a hundred times better than him caring about the court.

Besides, Wang Xiu went to Hangzhou to toss a few times, and he really recovered a lot. The response from the people was good, and it was true that both the government and the people benefited.

More importantly, after these years of co-existence, they discovered that Wang Xiu has a frank side, possesses great power, but knows how to advance and retreat, knows how to advance but is not arbitrary, and presiding over the South China Sea is not necessarily a bad thing, as long as he does not ask for two things. The government has a heavy hand, and they will never confront each other rashly.

It can be said that Wang Xiu's actions were very successful. He successfully disintegrated the alliance against him, and let the two governments relax their guard against him. Everything was driven by him, and he moved forward leisurely until the day when the time was right. .
