Song Dynasty Cannon Fodder Counterattack Record

Chapter 250 Chapter 310
The emperor opened the Tianzhang Pavilion again, right!And it's pushing everyone away!The right person is Li Buqi!
The news immediately caused huge waves in Bianliang.Especially after Li Buqi just proposed that "the era of the three emperors cannot be law", the emperor immediately summoned Li Buqi secretly in Tianzhang Pavilion. The information in it was enough to arouse the shock of righteous people who took it as their duty to maintain justice.As Li Buqi expected, Tianzhang Pavilion immediately became the focus of countless eyes.But what happened later made those who were concerned about what was going on in Tianzhang Pavilion feel a little relieved.

Since the emperor first summoned Li Buqi in Tianzhang Pavilion, he summoned Li Buqi for four consecutive days, and talked about the night every day.After four days, both Li Buqi and the emperor had bloodshot eyes due to lack of sleep.This kind of situation makes people who don't know the truth speculate that what the emperor and Li Buqi are talking about must be a big event.

But Li Buqi would bring a lot of documents and files from the police department to Tianzhang Pavilion every day, and more importantly, in the next four days, every time he played right, besides Li Buqi and Bao Zheng.

After Li Buqi yelled that "the era of the Three Emperors is lawless", Bao Zheng never gave Li Buqi a good face, and even debated several times.So if Li Buqi had something to confuse the emperor, Bao Heizi would definitely spit on Li Buqi.But Bao Heizi looks normal every day, and he never misses a word about what Tianzhang Pavilion said, which is also reassuring.So people began to speculate that the emperor was talking about the police department with Li Buqi and Bao Zheng in Tianzhang Pavilion.However, the standard of talking about the police department in Tianzhang Pavilion was too high, and they couldn't tear themselves apart, so that Bao Zheng complained to Li Buqi in the yamen: "You have caused a lot of trouble for the old man. .Now every day, I have to deal with countless people who ask me what I said in Tianzhang Pavilion. If this continues, I won’t have to do business.”

Li Buqi can only play a rogue: "Bao Daizhi has a straight temper, if these sleazy villains come up to you, you can just spit on him!"

Bao Zheng stared: "Then Pang Chunzhi and Gao Minzhi and I also spit on him?"

A few days later, the emperor issued several edicts, ordering the expansion of the Zhenwu Army to the full size of the Horse Infantry Army, requiring Jianba's elite soldiers to be trained in the same way as the police cavalry, and ordering the police department to set up an investigation department.

One day later, the emperor decreed that Mancheng and Wangducha County should be merged into the Prestige Army, and no officials from the Beijing Dynasty should be sent.

Five days later, the emperor issued an edict saying that the cinder road of Chunze Jianxiang Army was well repaired, and asked the third division to dispatch a group of Xiangjun to form a special "Bridge Road Xiangjun" to build the road from Tokyo to Luoyang. Use Stone Bridge instead.It costs money to build bridges and pave roads. The emperor said in the imperial edict that the internal treasury set up a "special fund promotion".

"Special funds" is another new term, and it is obvious that it was invented by Li Buqi.Originally, the chief executives would never agree to build roads during this kind of war and disaster, but the purpose of the emperor's road building was to facilitate the transportation of grain for the benefit of the people, and they also took money from the nominal internal treasury. The face of the emperor.

Then, the emperor ordered the prime minister to be in charge, and the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Police Department worked together to sort out the laws and regulations since the Taizu, and to consider the conflicting ones.

"Has the Police Department also intervened in the revision of the law?"

This is a common doubt of many people, but looking at the emperor's resolute attitude, it is clear that Li Buqi must have moved the emperor.If the emperor didn't do anything else, these people could only guess that Li Buqi was right in Tianzhang Pavilion, and the most important thing might be to expand the power of the police department.As a result, the attention of the capital gradually shifted to the peace talks with the Liao Kingdom and the current drought. This is currently the variable that has the greatest impact on the court.

Seeing that the chaotic speculation subsided, Li Buqi couldn't help but be complacent about his decision to use Lao Bao as a shield.Classmate Lao Bao is a real gentleman, as long as you can make him feel reasonable and considerate of the common people, he will never intentionally spoil your affairs.I'm afraid that even Wen Yanbo and Pang Ji couldn't have imagined that Li Buqi could convince the upright Lao Bao.

It must be more difficult to convince Bao Zheng, who admits death, than to convince the emperor, but Li Buqi did it.This is thanks to his correct strategy.In front of Bao Zheng and the emperor, he didn't talk about great principles, but only about practical measures.Bao Zheng also understands the reason for specific analysis of specific issues. In the end, although he still disagrees with some of Li Buqi's methods, he still agrees in principle.That being the case, it is only natural for him to keep secrets for the emperor and Li Buqi, but in the eyes of outsiders, it is Bao Zheng who agrees with Li Buqi's performance.

Bao Zheng's ability may be questioned, but no one dares to question his integrity.With his endorsement, those loyal defenders of the Great Song Dynasty can relax their vigilance a little bit.

It is also good for the emperor to be timid.When he presented the specific local figures and the inside information of some counties in front of the emperor, the emperor was frightened by the problems that the teachers had never told him how to deal with. Now the emperor really understood that if there was no reform, something would happen.

Obviously, the emperor also understood this truth, but it was just seeing that the national treasury was empty, and he had no money to recover Yanyun and let him be a generation of Mingjun. The wish was fulfilled, and the feeling was not strong.Therefore, when Fan Zhongyan was appointed to reform, he immediately stopped when he saw that the court was in chaos.But Li Buqi told him that if this continues, it is not a question of whether he can be a Mingjun, but a question of whether Da Song can hold on. Zhao Guanjia was really scared.

It's easy to handle if you are afraid.Want to reform?However, Li Buqi told him that the interests of the officialdom in the Song Dynasty are now intertwined, and any reform will affect the whole body, so it must not be rushed, but must be promoted gradually to achieve practical results.

Thanks to Fan Zhongyan for being the cannon fodder, the emperor carefully planned the reforms proposed by Li Buqi, slowly advancing, step by step, and adopting the suggestions of seeking practical results.Only then did Li Buqi put forward several suggestions for reforming the official system, long-term tenure law, merging counties and counties, changing money law, immigration, and special funds.

Reforming the official system and clearing up duties can be said to be the consensus of the ruling and opposition parties. Bao Zheng also agrees with it, so naturally he will not oppose it.Bao Zheng, who is dedicated to the people, also deeply agrees with the long-term law and the measures to strengthen the responsibility system of officials and reduce the burden on the people.

However, regarding the two matters of the money change law and immigration, Bao Zheng still pointed out that because of the inevitable existence of personal disadvantages, these two matters will have the disadvantages of harming the people.However, because of "Qian Lun" and Li Buqi's theory of production efficiency, Li Buqi gave specific measures to make it difficult for Laobao to find faults. In the end, he also stated that immigration is a slow flow and only goes to areas that have been fully researched and planned. For immigrants, Lao Bao agreed conditionally.

Then Li Buqi put forward a proposal to crack down on lawless subordinates and bullies at the local level, and Lao Bao, who was jealous and hated, agreed with both hands and feet.

In the end, Li Buqi proposed that in order to strengthen grain regulation, the emperor came forward to control a grain bank, purchase and store grain to stabilize grain prices.In this regard, Lao Bao objected for a while, but he really couldn't think of a better way, and the emperor promised to abolish it immediately if there were any disadvantages, so he agreed to try it.

As for some more specific measures suggested by Li Buqi, Bao Zheng has no reason to object because they are clearly targeted.

When the emperor saw Li Buqi's suggestion, Bao Zheng didn't strongly oppose it, and was even more convinced. He basically adopted Li Buqi's suggestion in its entirety, and was ambitiously preparing to do something big.
