Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

........................

After Gao Gongjie succeeded as the magistrate of Xiangfu County, he did not stop checking the fields. He went directly to the Cao family and asked for an inventory of the Cao family's hidden fields.

"What do the Gao family want?" Cao Hui asked with an embarrassed expression.

The Gao family and the Cao family have always been related by marriage. Empress Dowager Gao is the niece of the Cao family, and the two families have been married many times.

Now that Gao Gongjie is investigating the Cao family's land, could it be that he is retaliating for the Cao family's support of Zhao Xu's pro-government, and is being used by Zhao Xu to deliberately target the Cao family.

Gao Gongjie cupped his hands and said, "Master Cao has misunderstood the Gao family. Gao's move was a personal act, and he had no intention of targeting the Cao family."

"You have already obtained the position of magistrate of Xiangfu County. Why don't you stop when it's time?" Cao Hui asked.

Gao Gongjie smiled bitterly and said: "It is precisely because Gao got the position of Xiangfu County Magistrate that he cannot repeat the mistakes of the previous county magistrate. As long as the hidden fields in Xiangfu County are not investigated, Gao's position will become unstable. "

Gao Gongjie knew in his heart that he could get the magistrate of Xiangfu County through instant compensation. Once he protected the Cao family, other officials who were instant substitutes would pounce on him like a pack of wolves.

Cao Hui's heart was shocked, and he immediately understood the horror of immediate compensation. This was simply a deadlock. No one dared to use his own future to help them hide their fields.

"Furthermore, it is not without benefit for Gao to investigate the Cao family's hidden fields. As far as I know, the Cao family's income from several fields has been unfair. I ask Mr. Cao to remedy the situation as soon as possible. Otherwise, Gao will have no choice but to act impartially." Gao Gongjie warned.

Cao Hui suddenly felt as if he was struck by lightning. With his means and connections, he was naturally not afraid of a side branch of the Gao family. However, he knew that even if he brought down Gao Gongjie, there would still be countless officials waiting to claim credit. The hidden secrets of the Cao family Tian was saved no matter what.

With the cooperation of the Cao family, all the hidden fields in Xiangfu County were investigated, and the farm property per mu increased by as much as 20%. The taxes borne by each mu of land were greatly reduced, and the wealthy households were greatly satisfied.

At the same time, a group of candidate officials made great achievements in various counties in Kaifeng, and continuously inspected a large number of hidden fields.

In particular, the Xiang family brothers were eager to seek official positions. Relying on their status as uncles of the country, they stood firm and honored the magistrates of Lankao and Qixian counties, and successfully replaced them as county magistrates.

Suddenly, all the counties in Kaifeng Prefecture were completely changed. Half of the fourteen county magistrates were directly replaced. All hidden fields were identified one by one, and the work was smoothly implemented.

"Replenish immediately!"

Officials in the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Since ancient times, the most difficult part of reform has been the mutual protection between officials.

However, making up for it immediately made officials suspicious of each other, especially in the Song Dynasty where redundancy of officials was serious. In order to obtain official positions, candidate officials in the Song Dynasty naturally did not care about any official rules, while in order to keep their positions, the incumbent officials naturally Don't dare to bend the law for personal gain.

This strategy is a conspiracy and there is no solution!

………………

Chui Gong in front of the palace! Hundreds of officials gathered.

Kaifeng Mansion's entry into the family is progressing smoothly, and Zhao Xu can't wait for the court meeting.

"Humph!"

A nobleman passed by Fan Zheng and glared at him angrily.

"Fan Taicheng is good at it!"

Cao Hui looked at Fan Zheng with complicated eyes.

Fan Zhengzhanger was confused. He didn't know how he had offended these nobles, and now they all treated him with noses other than noses and eyes other than eyes.

Wang Di on the side laughed and said: "You are still pretending to be stupid. Did the official's immediate remedy come from you?"

Fan Zheng was startled when he heard this and said in shock, "How do you know?"

Wang Di rolled his eyes and said, "Ask any court official who doesn't know that the strategies you offer are... special!"

Wang Di thought for a while and finally used a special word to describe it. Everyone knows that Fan Zheng loves to prescribe evil prescriptions. Although he claims to be correcting evil, most of the strategies he proposes are both good and evil. If he immediately corrects them, they will be full of evil. Except for Fan Zheng, I'm afraid. Don't be the second choice.

Fan Zheng was speechless and asked the question. He had already hidden his merit and fame, but he didn't expect that he would be betrayed by the evil party.

"I am reporting to the officials. In the Kaifeng Mansion, the idea of ​​bringing slaves into the countryside is very popular and supported by everyone. It is indeed a good policy. I sincerely request you to promote this good recipe to the next ten years to revitalize the Song Dynasty." In the Chui Gong Hall, Zhang Dun couldn't wait to see him. road.

Kaifeng Prefecture's implementation of the rural labor service system has been a great success. Naturally, the New Party will not miss this opportunity and plans to further expand the scope of the pilot program.

"I agree."

There was no longer any objection from the officials in the court, and the success of sharing the labor into the land was beyond the officials' surprise. The knowledgeable officials naturally saw the benefits, and the support rate from top to bottom in the court increased greatly.

Lu Dafang sighed in his heart, knowing that as soon as the slaves came out, the new party's momentum surged, and reform was probably inevitable.

Zhao Xu looked at the situation in Manchuria and suddenly became very energetic, ready to show off his skills and revenge in his heart.

"Report, eight hundred miles to the northwest, urgent!" Suddenly a travel-worn messenger rushed all the way and rushed into the Chui Gong Hall.

All the officials in the court were shocked. The only thing that could be expedited for 800 miles was the urgent military situation. At that moment, all the officials couldn't help but look to the northwest with worry. "

Zeng Bu stepped forward to receive the secret report, his face changed and he said: "I am reporting to the officials that the Queen Mother Xiaoliang of Xixia learned that the Song Dynasty refused to cede land and coins. She became angry and sent an army of 500,000 to invade!"

"Send 500,000 troops!"

All the officials in the court couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. The Xixia army was strong and powerful, and they sent an army of 500,000 to invade. They would definitely not give up until they achieved their goals.

"I would like to inform the officials that what Xixia wants is nothing more than some money and silk. The war between the two countries resulted in countless casualties and countless money and grains. The annual coin is less than one percent of the cost of the troops. I ask the officials to think twice." Lu The great defense master and the Tao.

"Officials, please think twice!" A group of officials from the old party and the neutral faction asked for orders to restart the Sui coins in order to negotiate peace with Xixia.

Zhao Xu looked embarrassed. Not ceding land or giving money was the foundation of his pro-government. If he agreed to the money now, wouldn't he be a slap in the face?

"Impossible, there is no need to mention the New Year coins. Transporting the New Year coins is a strategy to subjugate the country. I will never agree to it." Zhao Xu said firmly.

"The officials are wise. Xixia claims to have an army of 500,000, but in fact it is a bluff. At most, its troops do not exceed 300,000." Privy Councilor Zeng Bu said in support.

The officials frowned. To them, there was no difference between 500,000 soldiers and 300,000 soldiers. They were opposed to any war.

"Of course, if you hadn't abandoned the Mizhi Fourth Village that was conquered during Shenzong's reign, why would the officials have to face the current passive situation?" Zhang Dun angrily rebuked. During the Shenzong period, the Song Dynasty adopted a border strategy against Xixia, and even established the Mizhi Four Villages to contain Xixia. However, after Shenzong's death, the old party came to power and directly returned the Mizhi Four Villages to Xixia, allowing the Song Dynasty to strategically Lost its advantage.

Lu Dafang argued vigorously: "If you had not been defeated and countless soldiers and civilians were captured, why would we have exchanged the captured soldiers and civilians with the Mizhi Four Villages?"

Zhang Dun mocked: "Then Xixia conquered the Mizhi Fourth Village and invaded the borders year after year."

Everyone in the old party looked embarrassed. Back then, the Song Dynasty gave up the Mizhi Four Villages in exchange for the people who were defeated and captured during the Shenzong period. However, Xixia just took over the four villages and continued to attack the Song Dynasty the next year.

Fan Zheng couldn't help but twitch his face. The Fan family was involved in the exchange of Mizhi and Four Villages for soldiers and civilians. His second uncle and father both agreed.

Zhao Xu looked around and said in a deep voice: "Since the return of the Mizhi Fourth Village cannot bring peace to Song and Xia, and the transportation of Sui coins cannot bring peace to Song and Xia, then there is only one battle between Song and Xia. I have ordered all the armies to fight this battle! The Great Song Dynasty Peace through war."
