Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"Without the support of the local clan, what else can they do if they are unfamiliar with the place and the language in the frontier barren?"

"I understand, I will follow His Majesty's instructions to deal with it."

"Remember in the future, how should scholars deal with it, do you understand?"

"Understood." Qin Hui thought for a while and said, "Do other roads in the south need to be dealt with now?"

"Not moving for now."

"Yes."

Chapter 585 Kang Wang's Chance (Third)

In this special period, in order to cooperate with Wu Lin's governance of Jiaozhi, on the fifth day of May, the imperial court announced the establishment of the Annan Protectorate in the original Jiaozhi and abolished the title of Jiaozhi.

Wu Lin was conferred the title of Chief Protector of the Annan Protectorate Mansion, and Yan Pei was the Deputy Protector.

On the sixth day of May, the Zhengshitang announced the appointment of Annan's political envoy and Jiaozhou magistrate.

It can be said that it set the tone for the Annan Governor's Mansion that was just taken back.

However, as soon as the letter of appointment was given to Wu Lin as the Protector of the Annan Protectorate, it immediately caused a great uproar in the court.

Annan Protectorate?

What is this concept?

This is to reopen the feudal town!

Back then in Zhao Ji's era, the Longyou Governor's Mansion was established, but no one was appointed!

Why is it necessary to appoint a guardian now?

In the early morning of the seventh day of May, Zhao Ning's table was full of memorials.

Every letter is about the Annan Protectorate.

Every memorial letter is succinct and concise to oppose the re-establishment of the official position of governor.

Some people say that resetting the post of guard is tantamount to cultivating warlord leaders, and they must raise vassals in Annan.

Others said that Wu Lin would support himself and do what Zhao Tuo did in the near future.

A large group of people wanted to strip Wu Lin's underpants and spray them all over.

Even Wu Lin's elder brother, Wu Jie, was affected. Some people said that the two brothers intended to rebel.

This incident was widely circulated in the official circles.

Of course, not everyone is opposed to the re-establishment of the Duhu Mansion, but some people agree.

For example, Fan Zongyin, who mentioned the reopening of the feudal town at the beginning, is now the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and he very much agrees with the court's decision.

Moreover, with Fan Zongyin as the core, a group of officials quickly formed to support the feudal town system.

With the support of another group of people, Zhao Guan's family naturally doesn't have to worry anymore.

And on the seventh day of May, the imperial court issued another letter of appointment, appointing Qian Yuqing as the envoy of the South China Sea Economic Strategy to manage the entire South China Sea.

This concept is a bit big.

Where was the South China Sea in the Song Dynasty?

It is all the sea areas south of China, including the South China Sea countries such as Sanfo Qi.

This is given great power.

In the ruling and opposition parties, only one important figure was seen. In the seventh year of Jingkang, he went from being unknown at the beginning to the current high position and weight.

The core of the Da Song Haiyang faction has been determined.

Some people also thought that Concubine Shu gave birth to the fifth prince Zhao Chun last year. I am afraid that the changes in the power structure in the court have just revealed the tip of the iceberg.

The appointment of Qian Yuqing as the envoy of the South China Sea Economic Strategy has undoubtedly created a big enemy for Qin Hui.

Especially when Qin Hui went back to calculate the final annual financial revenue of the South China Sea, he was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat.

As Zhao Ding said, the annual income of the South China Sea can reach more than 1000 million, and no one knows how big the big food country west of the sea is.

The future has never been so unknown as it is now.

This made Qin Hui feel unprecedented fear.

Regarding this matter, Wang advised Qin Hui in this way: "Speed ​​up the support for King Kang, and King Kang will be established as the heir apparent as soon as possible, which is good for us."

It is obviously not an exception for Wang to have such an idea.

The human heart is like water, it is very fragile and easily deformed when touched.

What's more, it is in an officialdom where power is rampant.

In such a place, people's hearts will become more sensitive, and humanity will be multiplied a thousand times.

The change in power structure this time is indeed a bit big.

In the court, there were countless thoughts about such a change.

In the evening of this day, Wang Biao, the doctor of the tax department of Kaifeng Mansion, sent a copy of the latest land rent report of Kaifeng Mansion to Kang Wang Mansion.

The current land rent is actually equivalent to the tax in the past.

It is already early summer, and government offices across the north are already preparing to collect this year's summer tax and land rent.

"Your Highness, do you think there is any problem?" Wang Biao asked.

Zhao Gou looked at it very carefully, and after reading it, he said: "No problem, just follow this report to implement it. This year, many farmers have cash in their hands. If farmers want to use the cash to offset taxes, that's fine. On the contrary, it reduces the consumption.”

"Yes."

Zhao Gou couldn't help feeling that the imperial court was wise in stripping the power of tax collection from the hands of the prefects, prefectures, and counties in the past.

It was Zhao Guan's family who thought clearly.

If the taxation matter is placed in the local government, there will be cross-power corruption, and the court will have to worry about investigating this corrupt official.

For example, the magistrate of Xiangzhou embezzled taxes, and his dismissal would affect the governance of Xiangzhou.

Now that it is done separately, only the people from the Taxation Department will carry it out. If there is a problem, the local chief executive is usually not involved, so it will not affect the administration.

The tax department is only established in Kaifeng Prefecture, and there are no other places for the time being.

Officials of the taxation department report directly to the higher-level yamen as the household department, but Zhao Gou is very special. He is in charge of Kaifeng government loans, agricultural administration and many other matters.

Wang Biao took the document from Zhao Gou, but he stood there without moving.

"Anything else?"

"Your Highness, I do have one thing to do."

"What's the matter?"

"Recently, the imperial court appointed Wu Lin as the Protector of Annan Protectorate."

Zhao Gou was a little surprised in his heart, but on the surface he was calm and composed: "There is such a thing."

"This matter is an opportunity for His Royal Highness Kang Wang."

Zhao Gou said sharply, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"The officer is not talking nonsense."

Zhao Gou hesitated for a moment and said, "How do you say that?"

"According to the old system of the former Tang Dynasty, the Governor's Mansion also needs to set up a chief protector. Usually, the prince leads the chief protector from a distance. The officials feel that for the sake of safety, His Highness needs to stand up and take on this position."

"You mean, let this king go to lead the general guard?"

"Yes."

Zhao Gou's face immediately became gloomy, and even his tone changed: "Who taught you this?"

Wang Biao's whole body trembled, and he said hastily, "This official is just expressing his feelings, and this official is also thinking of His Highness."

"You are an official of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and this king is the governor of Kaifeng. You suddenly think about this king?" Zhao Gou also imitated Zhao Ning and sneered, making Wang Biao feel cold.

As long as Zhao Gou told Zhao Guan's family about this, Wang Biao would basically be finished.

"Your Majesty's admiration for His Highness is endless."

"What kind of admiration?"

"His Royal Highness not only led the Generalissimo Seal to fight against the Jin people, but later cleared the clan's land, governed the new agricultural policies of the two roads in Jingdong, sorted out and handed over money to the countryside, and made indelible contributions to today's new policies."

When Wang Biao said this, his heart was pounding. Of course he didn't want to come, but he was forced to come, so there was nothing he could do.

This is betting on your own future!

After a while, Zhao Goucai said, "Is it impossible for this king to recommend himself?"

"The lower official is willing to write a letter to recommend His Highness, and the lower official also has some friends who also admire King Kang very much."

Zhao Gou asked inexplicably, "Who are these friends of yours?"

"They all sincerely admire King Kang."

"Go back."

"The subordinate retire."

When he came out of Kang Wang's mansion, Wang Biao was drenched in sweat.

Turning around, Zhao Gou began to write a memorial to Zhao Ning.

This letter was not to report on Wang Biao, but to recommend someone to return to Beijing.

Who?

Wang Boyan, magistrate of Suzhou.

On May [-]th, Wende Hall.

Zhao Ning is writing a book, "Dialectics".

The ideological transformation of scholars in the Great Song Dynasty must continue, and this is a long-lasting cause.

The transformation and improvement of thinking requires patience.

He used this sentence at the beginning: the economic base determines the superstructure.

Then he wrote: Everything is constantly changing, we need to recognize the cause and effect of changes in affairs, and look at problems dialectically.

He took the time period from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the unification of Qin State as an example.

Wang Huaiji brought over today's memorial.

Zhao Ning casually flipped through a copy and suddenly became curious.

It was actually a letter recommending King Kang to serve as the Chief Protector of the Annan Protectorate Mansion!

Chapter 586 Major transportation infrastructure? (first update)

Someone recommended Kang Wang so soon, which Zhao Ning did not expect.

It seems that the contenders for interests in the power field are like sharks in the sea, they will frantically rush over when they smell the slightest smell of blood.

Zhao Ning actually had the idea of ​​letting Zhao Gou serve as the Chief Protector of the Annan Protectorate.

The adjustment of the Song Dynasty system has always been one of the many issues that Zhao Ning has been thinking about during this time.

At this time, Wang Huaiji said again at the door: "Your Majesty, Zhang Jiuzheng, this year's No. [-] Imperial Examination Scholar, is waiting outside the Daqing Palace."

Zhao Ning closed the book and said, "I'll go there now."

After Zhao Ning arrived at the Daqing Hall, he announced that Zhang Jiuzheng had entered the hall.

"Students see His Majesty, long live my emperor."

"Exemption."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Of course, Zhang Jiuzheng came here for a reason.

Zhang Jiuzheng is the No. [-] scholar in the imperial examination this year, and he is the most influential figure in Tokyo at this moment.

I don't know how many big shots want to win him over.

But he was still not satisfied, he proposed to take the compulsory examination.
