Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 318 Some people want to go in, some people want to go out

"In Jiangnan, where there are countless refugees and thousands of miles of starvation, the most important thing at that time is to deliver the relief food to the mouths of the people so that they don't go hungry, but how do I deliver this food?"

"It must be the reactivation of officials, roads, prefectures, states, and counties, layer by layer." Li Bangyan said with a sigh.

Li Gang asked with some hesitation: "It's not proper anymore, how to arrange for the food to be delivered to the people? This is true. There are tens of thousands of victims, and the relief food has to rely on those big and small officials?"

Li Bangyan shook his head helplessly and said: "Li Dazai is ridiculous. Where in this world is there a well-fed official?"

"It's impossible to feed enough! They replaced all the rice and wheat flour with bran for disaster relief, and they even called it in order to keep more people alive."

"It's full of nonsense." Li Bangyan recalled for a while and continued: "In the third year of Xuanhe, the land dragon in the south of the Yangtze River turned over and destroyed official houses and residential buildings. There were heavy casualties. It was a natural disaster in the first place, and what happened next?"

"Most of the Changping warehouses are intact. Officials at all levels said that the people and the rebels robbed these Changping warehouses. In fact?"

"Most of them are in the hands of this group of officials! They gave the food in the Changping warehouse to Tanmo."

"The imperial government's disaster relief money and food are not very much. After being peeled off layer by layer by these officials, how much can there be in the hands of the people?"

"That's why I said that in the first defeat of the rescue, the first defeat was on the matter of saving officials."

Li Gang was silent, of course he was aware of the tragic situation in the south of the Yangtze River during the Xuanhe period, but at that time he was very sad.

But now, he is already the prime minister, facing the relief on Jinghu North Road, he holds more money and food in his hands than Li Bangyan, but what can he do?
If officials are not saved, the people will have no one to save.

Rescue officials, there is unavoidable layer upon layer of skinning, until the end of the relief, the relief officials are rich, and the people are still hungry.

But he didn't have any good solution. Hearing what Li Bangyan said, Li Gang was also worried.

Originally, the attachment of Jinghu North Road came suddenly, but now there is no way to do anything about the relief.

This disaster relief is really a headache.

"The official asked someone to come to Shimei, did Shimei have some good ideas?" Li Gang also understood why the official asked him to come to Li Bangyan.

Li Bangyan nodded and said: "Here is a letter, but besides asking the officials for money, you also have to ask the officials for someone. It depends on whether Taiwei Zhong and He Li will let them go."

"I still have to ask the important officials of the official family to enshrine Zhang Yong, Yang Qin, Yang Yao and others as the Shaocheng who are working as relief supervisors in various places to supervise this matter."

"The main point of this note is the idea of ​​the officials, which is to use work for relief, but to provide relief first and then work. To ensure that the disaster relief, the food can really go to the victims, not to the officials."

"The relief is provided by the labor relief supervisor, not by the officials."

"Everyone performs their own duties, rather than being aided by officials."

Li Gang opened the letter and studied it carefully, only to confirm that the prodigal prime minister is not only a prodigal son, but also a very talented prodigal son.

Li Gang bowed his head and said, "Thank you Shimei for teaching."

"Where is my credit? If it weren't for the government's work relief prison, what could I think of? It's just picking up people's teeth."

Li Bangyan didn't dare to be that.

These routines of his are actually the tricks that the officials have used badly in Guanzhong and Hedong Road.

Why Sun Bo and He Li stayed in Guanzhong and Hedong Road and did not come back is because they are responsible for the labor relief supervisors, and they are working together with the peasant associations in various villages to provide relief.

The gold disaster is also a man-made disaster, and the damage caused by the looting gold people is much more serious than the Jinghu North Road.

Both Hedong Road and Guanzhong can handle things well, the most important thing is that the Shao Chengs of the work relief supervisors go deep into the villages to help.

Why doesn't Li Gang know this?
Because Li Gang didn't know the current situation in Hedong Road and Guanzhong, he didn't see it with his own eyes.

What Li Bangyan did was exactly what he said.It's just picking up people's teeth and wisdom, and picking up the relief experience of officials, Sun Bo, and He Li in Guanzhong and Hedong Road.

He just made a summary and didn't dare to take credit for it.

Li Gang thought for a long time, then suddenly said: "We have to ask the officials to ask for work relief supervisors and three fifth-rank Shaocheng, and arrange dozens of young supervisors. I don't know if the officials will agree."

"Why don't you suggest that the officials recall Sun Bo or He Li back to Beijing to take charge of this matter?"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was appropriate. Sun Bo and He Li had done a good job in Guanzhong and Hedong Road. He had no experience in this field. If things went wrong, wouldn't it be bad?
Li Bangyan looked at Li Gang, waved his hands randomly in the air twice, and finally sighed, Li Gang, the prime minister, is really number one for this sake!

Can someone who doesn't understand the holy will, understand the emperor's words, or understand the emperor's arrangements become a prime minister?

Li Gang is on!Still doing a good job!And the officials seem to have no intention of changing their appearance!
Sure enough, the same as I saw Li Gang back then, this person is too upright and first-class in his work, but it's a pity that he just can't figure out the holy will of the officials!
"Li Dazai, the government asked you to help the victims, and you are the one in charge of it. The purpose of the government is to support Dazai!"

Li Bangyan awakened the dreamer with a word, and looked at Li Gang with a smile.

Zhao Huan's purpose is indeed as Li Bangyan said, he is giving Li Gang meritorious service, so that Li Gang can have a better grasp of the government.

"Although in my opinion, the position of Prime Minister Li Dazai is as stable as Mount Tai, but I still can't figure out why the officials still give you such a merit." Li Bangyan frowned and thought for a long time before shaking his head Said: "I don't understand."

"It stands to reason that the power of the prime minister should be restricted. Why should I give you such a merit?"

"It's been a few months since XX left the court, and he's no longer able to make a clear judgment about the officials and the situation. Sigh."

After Li Bangyan finished speaking with a sigh, his expression was extremely lonely. He had once held the position of Li Gang, but unfortunately his emperor was the Supreme Emperor, and making money was the first and most important task.

The current official family obviously has great ambitions, but unfortunately Li Bangyan can no longer see clearly where the official family's ambitions lie.

He suddenly envied Tong Guan and Cai Jing a little, they just died, leaving behind the past and the future, no worries.

And I knew that Song Dynasty already had a new Mingjun, and had an unprecedented opportunity for change, but unfortunately, he had no chance to participate in it.

This feeling of not being able to participate made him feel unspeakably melancholy and lonely.

"Thank you for Shimei's teaching." Li Gang understood the meaning between the lines in Li Bangyan's words.

Although he has some simple guesses about why the officials keep adding weight to his achievements.

It's a pity that he can't see clearly where the official's ambition lies.

When Zhao Huan learned about this, he sighed.

Sure enough, they were all old vixens. I hadn't done anything yet, but these old vixens had already guessed something.

"Commander Shen, I remember telling you not to send people to watch Li Dazai again. Why is there still a report from Li Dazai?" Zhao Huan said while looking at the letter in his hand.

Why did Zhao Huan know the conversation between Li Gang and Li Bangyan in the mansion? It was the report handed over by Shen Cong.

The reason why he asked Li Gang to ask Li Bangyan was because he knew what Li Bangyan was doing, and he summed up the disaster relief work and supervisors on Hedong Road very well.

Shen Cong thought for a while and said: "The officials said that if they don't keep an eye on Li Dazai, they are responsible for protecting the crown prince's safety. But the officials also said to keep an eye on Li Bangyan. This is Li Bangyan's report, the officials."

Zhao Huan thought about it carefully, and it made some sense.

"Shen Cong, I'll ask you again! Send you out of the palace to do something! Are you willing to do it! The temple that the last command is in is too small!" Zhao Huan said with a bit of resentment.

Shen Cong is in his heart, not just the hero he was in the Song Dynasty just now!

He is also the adoptive son of Zhong Shaobao who inherited the legacy of Zhong Shidao!
Zhao Huan has always wanted to let Shen Cong inherit the political legacy of cultivating teachers.

It's a pity that Shen Cong has not been very cooperative, and Zhao Huan has obviously smelled something that is not right, that is, the kind of teacher's way has left Shen Cong with a will that he does not know.

Therefore, Shen Congcai repeatedly refused his promotion.

He had already called him by his first name, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Why did Shen Cong have a will, and Zhong Shidao left a sentence for himself to let Da Song go on?
Of course, Zhao Huan deliberately ignored the three heavy books, "Records of the Zhongjia", "Records of Talents", and "Bingzhi of the Great Song Dynasty".

"Shen Cong is not too cautious in doing things, it is more appropriate to do things in the palace." Shen Cong still refused to go out to be an official and refused to be promoted.

Zhao Huan shook his head and asked, "Tell me, what did Shaobao tell you when he left? A young man looks like an old man, without ambition, like a waste!"

"When the adoptive father left, tell me to let me stay in the palace safely and be a waste." Shen Cong responded very solemnly to the official's remarks that he was a waste, and he was at ease to be a waste.

Zhao Huan was silent. After all, Zhong Shidao regarded Shen Cong as his son.

Zhong Shidao has already seen that Zhao Huan will enshrine high-ranking people, and even entering the Taimiao, Zhong Shidao probably also thought of it.

That's why Shen Cong was made to be a waste in the palace. The next commander, a fifth-rank official, was not promoted, so as to maintain Shen Cong's comprehensiveness.

How can there be such a good inheritance for the will of a teacher?Shen Cong's shoulders couldn't carry his will.

The legacy of cultivating the teacher's way is the glory of the Great Song Dynasty, the restoration of the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty.

This responsibility can only be done by him, Zhao Huan.

"So, you are so obedient?" Zhao Huan asked anxiously.Shen Cong is this iron fool!

He is always on the verge of danger and keeps probing!
Shen Cong thought for a while and replied: "If the officials regard the minister as the superior commander instead of Shaobao's adopted son, would Chen An dare to serve the Song Dynasty?"

Zhao Huan looked at Shen Cong in front of the imperial court, and he couldn't get angry, and said, "Why do you have to take so much effort to talk to you people who like to stick to the horns?"

"Right now on North Jingbei Road, there is a lack of one of my confidant generals, who will go to Jingbei North Road to command the entire volunteer army on Jingbei Road."

"And train them into real sailors, so that they can face Lin'an's sailors!"

"If I want to pacify Zhao Gou's southern separatist regime, I need large ships and naval forces, and this person must be my confidant, and he must infiltrate the rebel army with his followers and control the army."

"Sending eunuchs, Zhao Ying is not suitable as a chef. Moreover, it is easy to start party disputes with the appointment of eunuchs. Therefore, you are the only suitable one in Song Dynasty now."

Zhao Ying was taken aback for a moment, what else is there for me?

Zhao Huan stared at Shen Cong and said viciously: "In a word, go or not!"

Shen Cong shook his head and said: "Officials, the manager of Jinghu North Road, the minister is not suitable. That is a military position of the second rank. The minister is only a fifth-rank official, and the officials still regard the minister as the son of Shaobao. Forgive me. Obedience."

Shen Cong firmly refused.

The logic is that he is determined not to accept the political legacy of being a teacher, and he cannot bear this legacy.

Originally, the political legacy of being a teacher was to be given to Zhang Jun.

That is to say, the adopted son who competed with Yue Fei in the front of the imperial court.

But obviously, because of Zhang Jun's struggle for meritorious service, the inheritance of this inheritance has come to nothing.

But Shen never dared to accept it!
Now all the troops of the official family are more or less closely related to the Zhongjia army who cultivated the way of teachers!
Almost all the main forces are Yongding Army.

If he really inherits, no matter what, he will not end well.

Zhao Huan shook his head with a smile and said: "You still want to be the manager of the road, you are beautiful!"

"I also gave you the official position of chief instructor, fifth-rank officer, and trains sailors. If you want to be the chief of the road, you must climb to the rank of Taiwei first."

"And this navy has nothing to do with your adoptive father. It's not because you Shen Cong is Shaobao's adoptive son that I appointed you, but because of your meritorious service on the battlefield. Are you clear?"

"If this is the case, I would like to go to Jingbei Road." Shen Cong thought for a while.

Only then did he realize that it was not an exception to promote his military rank, but a transfer at the same level, and when he had nothing to do with the Yongding Army, he agreed to the appointment.

Who doesn't want to do something?

He didn't go to Hejian County to train the flying army, because that was what Zhao Huan and Zhong Shidao discussed, so of course he couldn't go.

And the position of chief coach of the Jingbei Road Navy, which has nothing to do with Shaobao, has little to do with the foster father no matter how you look at it.

Zhao Huan nodded and said: "This is not the end? Clean up, you will set off from the government tomorrow with [-] relatives."

"Li Dazai will send disaster relief officials, probably Sun Bo. Sun Bo will go to Jingbei Road after finishing his work on the Guanzhong Green Crop Law and the equalization of land."

"When the time comes, help me keep an eye on those officials, as well as the Shao Cheng and Shao Jian of the Work Relief Superintendent. If anyone dares to ask for a card on the disaster food, report it, and they will all be executed!"

Shen Cong is a tough guy, too obedient, but still a donkey, if he didn't fool him, he would be too condescending to stay in the palace.

As long as you leave the palace and go to the army, it is impossible for any army to be separated from the way of the teacher.

After all, the Yongding army has the most meritorious soldiers.

And Zhao Huan was going to send a large number of low-level officers to the navy on Jinghu North Road, so this army, in Zhao Huan's arrangement, was also closely related to the Yongding Army.

It's a pity that when the time comes, the deal is done. If Shen Cong can put aside his love for robes, Zhao Huan will immediately wash his hair upside down.
