Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 730
"Many important officials in Koryo are attached to the Jurchen, with Jin Fushi, Ren Yuan, and Li Zhi as the core. They are at both ends of the head, submit to the rule of the captives, and completely lose their respect for the heavenly court. Only the soldiers Cui Qin and Jin Zhengchun have their hearts The Celestial Dynasty advocates facing each other across the sea. There are also neutral forces in their royal court, such as Cui Ru, Li Zhong and others who have ambiguous attitudes, and their strength should not be underestimated.

Cai Yi is the Prime Minister of State Affairs, and he has a lot of information about Koryo. It is obvious that he has put a lot of effort into analyzing the strength of the three parties of the Koryo royal court.

Master Yunhao was sipping tea by himself with a relaxed expression, as if he didn't care about the mundane affairs of the outside world, but did his eyes flash, and he was always paying attention to Wang Xiu's movements.

He is not a fool, it is true that Wang Xiu has just returned to the court, but whether it is the past or the present, it is the No. His actions and writings made him believe that following Wang Xiu closely would definitely not be a disadvantage, provided that Wang Xiu was still superior.

"Anyway, there is Taoist Quanzhen, I don't think I need to worry about the northern affairs." Li Gang glanced at Master Yunhao, his attitude was very flat.He understood that Wang Xiu relied on Taoism to elevate her status.

With Li Gang's praise, Master Yunhao's vanity is satisfied. He is Fang Wai's real person, but he is still human!He has the ambition to govern the country and the world, and leave his name in the annals of history.It is true that Goryeo was preached by Buddha and Lao, but their high-level officials still believed in Lao and Zhuang, and were proud of the side branch of the Han family. This is the opportunity of Taoism.

Think about it, if Taoism joins the WTO and can make a difference for the world, can the imperial court give preferential treatment?I don't want Buddha to speculate everywhere.

"Xinanyi, Nanhai, Fusang, Goryeo, um, and Dangxiang and Tatar tribes, it all depends on how this game is played." Wang Xiu's eyes turned to Li Gang. This is a big game that will test the player's control force.

Li Gang and Wang Xiu looked at each other, and they must be meditating and savoring all kinds of flavors.Wang Xiu really had a lot of money in his mind, and regaining his homeland was just one part of it, which surprised him so much that he couldn't help but admire it.

Immortal Yun Hao looked at Wang Xiu and the others, and couldn't help laughing: "Today, two adults and four gentlemen are gathering, and I'm poor to prepare a vegetarian meal. I hope you adults don't think it's vulgar."

"Four Gentlemen?" Wang Xiu was startled, and looked at Master Yun Hao with a lot of doubts in his eyes.

"My lord, don't you know that my lord, together with Mr. Zhang, Mr. Shen, and Mr. Cai, are known as the Four Gentlemen?" Master Yun Hao seemed to be very calm, with a calm appearance.

Wang Xiu looked at Li Gang, then at Zhang Qiyuan who had different expressions, and kept silent on them, but didn't know what to say.

Zhang Qiyuan was a little helpless, and he also smiled wryly, that he and Wang Xiu were both called gentlemen, not knowing whether it was irony or glory.

Lu Yihao twitched his beard and said with a smile: "I've heard of it, and it was only recently spread. It is also an elegant thing for the government and the public to compare the four and judge Feng as a gentleman."

Zhang Qiyuan's face was so exciting, but he shook his head again, as if he didn't care too much, Mo Mo and Cai Yi were also somewhat different.

"Taoist, please feel free to do so. I will ask for a few glasses of wine later." Master Yun Hao went, Wang Xiu couldn't help but look at Zhang Qiyuan a few more times, and then said seriously: "It's really fresh, it seems that my news is very closed .”

"The four are also outstanding men, and they deserve it. But what's the next step?" Li Gang is not interested in the four gentlemen, he is concerned about state affairs.The internal affairs of the imperial court related to the success or failure of the Northern Expedition, because the gains and losses of internal affairs directly affected the development of national power.

Internal affairs are directly related to the success or failure of recovering the rivers and mountains, and there is no room for sloppiness. He can let Wang Xiu manage outside the region, but he can't let the slightest laissez-faire in internal affairs. It must be discussed by all the ruling parties, which is also the bottom line he insists on.

It is true that Wang Xiu can be arrogant and domineering, but she must be under the control of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and there must be no difference.

"Overseas wind and waves are easy to fight, and the court's undercurrents are difficult to deal with. One wrong step, one wrong step, and no results in Qingli and Xining. The internal reason is improper employment and eagerness for quick success." Zhang Qiyuan said leisurely and honestly, he did not shy away from the gains and losses of the previous court.

Wang Xiu couldn't help but glanced at Zhang Qiyuan again. He had to admit that this guy had unique views. The Qingli and Xining reforms failed in the end because they touched the interests of all parties. That's why he was cautious.

However, he is also very confident of success. Vested interests grow up, spokesmen with new ideas form a climate, and form a strong political force. At that time, it will be too late for conservatives in the old forces to resist.

"No matter how hard it is, the improvement of the official system must be implemented. The most important thing is to learn from the Han system. There must be a system for the addition of officials, and they must not be allowed to increase. The permanent officials of the court must be strictly controlled, even the emperor. , The system of envoy money should also be reformed, it cannot be distributed to individuals, but directly allocated by the Ministry of Households to the Yamen, and the expenditures of the Yamen are allocated according to official duties, and the Audit Office and Yushitai are supervised.”

Not to mention Li Gang and Lu Yihao, even Zhang Qiyuan, Shen Mo, and Cai Yi were also surprised.The minister's money is the office expenses of the court officials. It can be used to hire staff or be used as expenses for lamps, candles and paper, but these are all uncertain things.

Every year, the envoy money of the Jiedushi reaches [-] guan, and the Zhixue Zhizhi Kaifeng Mansion also has [-] guan. If it is really taken away, many officials will be dissatisfied, and it will even trigger a wave of opposition to the implementation of the new official system.

Li Gang appreciates Wang Xiu's prudence. Up to now, all laws and regulations have been cautious, moving forward in small steps, and not touching the interests of all classes.

"The minister's money is too involved, can we think about it in the long run?" He was also affected by his interests, so he had to think about it. After all, the ten thousand minister's money every year is not a small amount!

Wang Xiu didn't look at Li Gang's face, picked up the sand pot and poured tea, and said calmly: "The court's envoy's money is sent to individuals, and only one or two people can use it. As a result, the household department has to pay the yamen's subsidy. Pay millions more."

"It's more than a few million, I think ten million is about the same." Zhang Qiyuan said suddenly, with a somewhat decisive tone.

He doesn't like Wang Xiu, and is even willing to replace him, but this does not prevent him from realizing the progressive nature of the policy.Of course, he also has another plan. It is good if it succeeds, but if it fails, it will also hit Wang Xiu and make him an object of disgust for bureaucrats and bureaucrats.

Wang Xiu looked at Zhang Qiyuan in surprise, he never expected that this guy would support him, and felt that this was the biggest joke in life.

However, he vaguely guessed that Zhang Qiyuan's intentions were not so vicious. This was a strategy that could be advanced or retreated. It was more abhorrent than trying to oppose or gain benefits. He had to look at Zhang Qiyuan a few more times.
