The little emperor's benevolent politics began.

Influenced by the old lady, the little emperor lived a very simple life. He wore ordinary clothes and was reluctant to waste them. He washed them again and again, and then washed them again and again. As a result, the emperor did not look like the emperor, and the farmer did not look like the farmer. After seeing this, the palace maids covered their mouths and laughed many times.

Once, while eating, a bug fell from the food utensil. She covered her mouth and refused to speak out. She was afraid that she would implicate many people after pursuing her crime. [..com]

But in life, the people of the Chai family were not affected much after reflection on their ancestors. However, after Li Yu, Meng Chang, Liu Jiyuan and Liu Yu and other kings of different surnames defected to the Song Dynasty, they all died of illness and died suddenly by his master of chemistry. The descendants of the Qian family were not like Qian Weiyan, who was supported by them, and gradually disappeared, so they recorded the descendants of these families to become officials one after another.

It is also reflected in the relatives. It is often said that King Jing (the newly-private) Zhao Yuanyan was the marshal of the military capital of the world. In fact, Zheng Lang said a few words at this time, and the little emperor was even more suspicious. But he did not treat Zhao Yuanyan. On the contrary, he arrested hundreds of rumors. Cai Qi wrote a letter, saying that the villain was ignorant, not enough to know, and could not let King Jing rest.

The more you arrested, the more uneasy Zhao Yuanyan felt. Besides, these ordinary people are like this. If they are exposed to wind, it will be rainy. Isn’t it worth arresting?

The little emperor then issued an edict to release all these people, but only a few of them had a very long mouth and beat them a few times. He just took the small willow skewer on his butt, which would make it painful, but it was actually not harmful.

But these are all superior people, and this kind of benevolence is also reflected in the people.

Fan Zhongyan was injured in the Jiang, Huai and Beijing disasters, so he asked to walk around and said, "What if I don't eat in the palace for half a day? I'm not eating for several roads now, so how about not having food!"

If you change to a foolish and cruel emperor, you will be furious. If you don’t eat for a long time in the palace, you will be fine? If you don’t have food to eat, why don’t you eat meat? But if you change to a young emperor, it will be different. You immediately ordered Fan Zhongyan to appease the Jianghuai River, open a granary, provide relief, ban yin sacrifices, and dismiss Lushu’s tea. Salt money from Dingkou, Jiangdong. There are also hungry people eating ummy grass, which is wild oats. If you don’t know, it has another name, called bell grass, which is a harmful plant in the fields. This plant is almost in rural areas. That thing is eaten by cows, and as for people... it is best not to touch it. Not only ummy grass, but also other wild vegetables, which are too hungry to bear, so you have to eat it randomly.

Fan Zhongyan picked it down and presented it to the little emperor. Your Majesty, let's bring you a treasure, which is to feed millions of people in Jianghuai. When the little emperor heard that it was coming, he was a treasure. He took the brocade box and opened it. It was very cute. This thing is a treasure that feeds millions of people?

I sighed for a long time and told the nobles of the six palaces to show my extravagance.

What he achieved was not Fan Zhongyan, but also Bao Zheng and other honest officials...

It was not only the little emperor, but also Zheng Lang, a wise monarch who sighed. As long as there were a few people under his command who did practical things, a great rule that had never been seen in the ages would come. However, either the ideal was too lofty and he wished he could dig a golden doll with one shovel, or he was a conservative minister. He loyally safeguarded the interests of the upper class.

Those who do practical things are mostly conservatives, while those who have long-term vision are mostly pedantic people. For example, Fan Zhongyan then wrote a letter to talk about things. During the time of his ancestors, the Jiang and Huai River were at least transported, and the six armies were also conquered the world. Now, the southeast grain was 6 million stones a year, and the wealth of the treasury was all from the people. In addition, in the hunger years, they were hard to eat. I hope that each of them would have a department to take the ancestors to use it for several years, so that extravagance and frugality could be seen.

During the reign of Zhao Kuangyin, he had very little fortune in taking the Jianghuai River, but he raised six armies and captured the world. Now there is no war, and the southeast grain has reached 6 million stones, and other burdens of wealth are all due to the people. Therefore, when the year of hunger comes, he will be in a difficult situation. Please ask Your Majesty to do so according to the numbers of his ancestors.

Is it right? It seems to be very right.

But don’t forget that the Song Dynasty at that time was no longer the Song Dynasty at that time. It was redundant officials, redundant government and soldiers, causing a lot of redundant expenses. If you want to reduce taxes in the people, where can you save it? Cut down officials? Which one or that batch do you lay off, this severance is not a minority, tens of thousands or tens of thousands of yuan. These officials are not allowed to fight against you. If so many officials fight to the death, even Lu Yijian will have to step down obediently.

It is better to lay off troops and streamline the government. Everyone knows that it is good. With fewer soldiers, it is more well-trained, sufficient supply, and its combat effectiveness will be improved. The key policy of the Song Dynasty was to treat the people well. As long as there were refugees, they would adopt him and not give him the chance to rebel. Well, this cut would remove 500,000,800,000 soldiers and a small number of imperial guards. The combat effectiveness was achieved and the financial pressure was all reduced. But where did so many soldiers settle?

Hundreds of thousands of brave men were idle and ran around, and the consequences were...

Simplifying administration, okay, are you trying to create a powerful minister for the Song Dynasty? Why is Ding Wei so strong that he did not harm the Song Dynasty? It is precisely because of this layered policy of official institutions and redundant government that power is extremely dispersed, which makes Ding Wei seem to have power but actually not. Who dares to move?

If these three disadvantages are not lost, no matter how kind the young emperor is, he will not dare to reduce taxes.

It is also said that the ancestors were still Youji, so they must keep it in the inner world and must first make money so that they will not disturb the lower world when they are in the army. Now, if there are any urgent problems, how can they help them? Sometimes the creatures of heaven are used too much, so how can the world not be trapped! There are grains in the Yangtze River, Huai, and Zhejiang roads in the Yangtze River, Huai River, and Zhejiang roads in the past year, and they are bought again in the southeast. It is estimated that the several routes in the southeast are less than 2 to 3 million stones, so even in a good year, the price of grain is also high. As for the cost of boat building and the rewards for the transport of troops, there are 5 to 7 million yuan per year, so the people of the county and state have no time to give it.

It was Zhao Kuangyin, who knew that the Khitan was not that easy to fight, so he had to prepare before he fought. He even said that I used twenty pieces of silk to buy a Khitan head, and probably because of Ran Min's killing Hu Ling that he said this. So don't do more, just buy two million pieces of silk to buy 100,000 Khitan heads, and a hundred thousand fewer people. The Khitan will be in chaos without fighting.

This is probably empty, but Zhao Kuangyin is very talented and does not fight unprepared battles, which can be seen from now on. Unfortunately, he died inexplicably and died too early. When he arrived at Zhao Kuangyi, he thought that his elder brother had saved a lot of military expenses and could fight. After the money in one battle, he was defeated. In the end, he did not buy the head of the Khitan, but gave him hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. One hundred thousand taels of silver and two hundred thousand pieces of silk. According to the current price, it was not 300,000, but close to 500,000!

Therefore, the country made money to prepare to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun. Now there is no war, and the accumulation of money continues. In addition to renting and taxes, it also earned two or three million stones of rice every year, resulting in a high annual price. It cannot be said that Fan Zhongyan was wrong. At the beginning of Zhenzong, the price of rice was twenty cents per bucket and ten cents of wheat was ten cents, which was similar to the price of grain when the early Tang Dynasty was stable. The Tang Dynasty said that four or five cents per bucket of grain was millet. By the economic development of the Song Dynasty, many ordinary people rarely ate these coarse grains. But by this time, the price of rice rose to seventy cents per bucket of to one hundred cents per bucket, and the price of wheat was approaching fifty cents. In the Tang Dynasty, half of them would starve to death!

However, the Song Dynasty was safe and sound. It’s strange!

In fact, it’s not Zheng Lang about to walk the tightrope. This huge country has already begun to walk the tightrope.

Also, so much food is to be transported, the cost of shipbuilding and the rewards for transporting troops, etc., it costs another 500 to 7 million yuan a year. It is not a year, but it is like this every year. The cost alone is shocking. In Tang Ming, Oh my God, the country has collapsed long ago. My income is only 20 million yuan a year, and the freight alone costs six or seven million yuan. How can I live this day?

So how did the Tang Dynasty solve it? It was easy to solve it, and these transportation costs were spread to wealthy families in Jiangnan.

The Song Dynasty used money to solve problems, but the people who took care of them were not the people in Jiangnan. The biggest beneficiaries were these wealthy families and the landlord class. Not only that, the price of grain rose, but also the big landlords who benefited. The common people handed over the mess, how much food could be sold. Moreover, there were more handicraftsmen in the city, and they only bought the portions, so how much money could be sold? The ones to sell were those big landlords. The higher the price of grain, the more they benefited. The unlucky ones were the handicraftsmen and the court.

Is Fan Zhongyan right?

Yes, I reduced the grain transportation and purchase, and the grain prices fell, and the people benefited. The court saved money.

But it is important to save this grain. The population in the north is growing rapidly, and the southern food support is required. There are also a large amount of transportation, and the interests of some corrupt officials and landlords. Oh, Comrade Da Fan, so many beneficiaries, are you ready to fight against them?

Fan Zhongyan also saw the problem and said that the country is prepared by providing transportation for a wide range of numbers. However, the soldiers and officials were redundant, and they were lazy to work, filling the capital. When I arrived in Huainan, I met Ying's soldiers and said that thirty people were from Tanzhou to the Wuwei Army. They fled to death on the road, and only six people survived. They went to Hunan for more than 4,000 miles. The six people returned to this state, but they still didn't know how to live. They knew the dangers of transportation. They harmed people like this.

He directly pointed out the redundant soldiers and officials, how can he solve it?

It is also said that it is advisable to eliminate redundant soldiers, reduce the number of officials, ban laziness, reduce work, save the capital, and then reduce the transportation of the river and Huai River, and pay the taxes, and then cancel the high price for buying. There is no shortage of national quotations, and the southeast will be cancelled, and the rice price will not be raised. Once the merchants are well-versed, the method of entering the middle can be implemented. The Changlu Temple was built in Zhenzhou, and the food for soldiers was 40,000 hu of gold and green, and the money for gold and green buildings was 300,000. It can be used to the people, and it can be used to pay leniency; it can be used to increase the salary; it can be used to the soldiers, and it can be used to expand the old border. From now on, I wish to always take the labor of civil and engineering as a warning.

It is estimated that Fan Zhongyan was very moved when he wrote a letter, so he wrote a typo, and wrote the first one into a scattered one. Dafan, don't, do you want to bury these redundant soldiers alive? He has nothing to do with these idle officials and soldiers. But how to arrange them? If he can't cut them, how can he stop buying? But in the end, it is for Lu Yijian who has just returned to the court. The country is so difficult, and Lu Yijian actually encouraged the emperor to cultivate Lu Temple and Hongfuyuan.

But what is this for?

The two empress dowagers Liu and Li were unable to enter the Taimiao, so Xiuchanglu Temple and Hongfuyuan compensated the two old men. Only a small 300,000 yuan was still money for the Song Dynasty?

Therefore, the idea was different. Fan Zhongyan thought that if the 300,000 yuan was invested, how many people would benefit. Lu Yijian was considering how to find a balance between the ministers and the emperor and resolve the dispute between the empress dowager. So the conflict between Fan and Lu began from then on!

The little emperor had no choice.

They were all big issues that could not be solved. Now he thought that the little emperor was still silly, but seeing that thirty people from Tanzhou pulled the boat to Anwei Wuwei was halfway from Tanzhou to Tanzhou. Thirty people died or fled, and only six were left. The little emperor was sad.

There may be some cases, this is an individual case, and it is impossible to be a whole case, otherwise something big would have happened long ago.

But since Fan Zhongyan proposed that it was impossible to lie, the little emperor was in a heavy mood when he saw it. But he couldn't think of a better way, so he had to start with himself and start with serious self-abuse.

Everyone is kind, but they are too tight...

So Zheng Lang played the piano and talked for him in the spring. Sometimes when he thought about this little emperor, it was very pitiful. The only fun now was the few beautiful girls in the palace. It was this fun, and he would soon be castrated by his ministers. He almost pulled the little nèn needle of the little emperor by the ministers. The only fun of practicing flying white bodies is not fun...

But the tossing has not been completed.

God is here to join in the fun. I will give you so many talents in the Song Dynasty. No matter how many talents are invested together, it is a positive or responsible role, so for the sake of balance. The little emperor has just entered the government, and there is no disaster in Jingdong, Jiang and Huai. That thing has arrived, locusts!

The little locusts flew, and even the little locusts flew out from the farmlands in Zhengzhou.

Drought and locust plague are signs of the first year of the young emperor's entry into power.

"Dalang, there are so many locusts."

In fact, Zheng Lang rarely cares about foreign affairs. Fan Kuan is by his side, and there is a rare opportunity. He has to take time to discuss painting skills and paint for the two empress dowagers. His study time is even more tight. Behind the articles clustered with flowers, there is no tricky part of it.

After hearing Sier's words, Zheng Lang walked out.

Not far outside are rice fields and sorghum. The semi-yellow rice ears and sorghum ears, as well as bean straw, are filled with dense locusts. It has little impact on the Zheng family, and his family's income source gradually deviates from agriculture.

However, Zheng Lang's expression became serious and had little impact on his own family. Moreover, a severe drought would inevitably be accompanied by locust plagues. These two were almost formed together. But how much impact did they have on the fragile agriculture now, and even to be more serious. In today's where everything likes to lead to natural disasters, how much impact would it have on the little emperor?

There were swaying incense and smoke at the entrance of the village. The farmers were very scared of this little thing, and they burned incense and prayed when they encountered it.

A cloud of smoke drifted in the green sky with the fierce summer wind. Zheng Lang frowned and said softly: "Your Majesty, let me do you another little favor."
