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

Inside the Chui Gong Hall!

"Reporting to the official family, the envoy from the Liao Kingdom has returned to the country, and Princess Yelu has agreed to lobby the Liao Emperor to jointly operate the Silk Road."

Fan Zheng returned from negotiations and came to reply.

"Okay, thank you Fan Aiqing for your hard work!"

When Zhao Xu heard this, his face lit up and he said.

As long as the Sui coins can be abolished, the Song Dynasty will be able to get rid of its heavy burden, and the Song Dynasty will have the possibility of revitalization.

However, the Manchu ministers were not too excited. Lu Dafang frowned and said, "Master Fan, I remember you once said that Princess Yelu cannot influence the Liao Emperor's decision-making."

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "That's right! The Liao Emperor is a powerful figure of his generation, so it is naturally impossible for him to change the national policy of the Liao Kingdom just because he dotes on a great-granddaughter."

"Isn't it possible that the Liao Kingdom will invade?" Zhao Xu frowned.

Fan Zheng nodded and said, "We can't rule out this possibility!"

All the officials in the court were in an uproar.

"Think twice, officials! Although the Song Dynasty is not afraid of Xixia because it is dangerous and can be defended, the border between Song and Liao is a flat plain. If the Liao invades, I am afraid that the Battle of Chanyuan will happen again." Lu Dafang said sadly.

Other ministers also spoke out one after another, angrily accusing Fan Zheng of provoking officials to abolish the annual coins, thus provoking the Liao Kingdom.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but hesitate on his face when he saw the excitement among the crowd.

Fan Zheng faced the accusations from the ministers and said without changing his expression: "If the official family wants to be the leader of the Song Dynasty, I will definitely not propose the abolition of Sui coins. If the official family wants to be the leader of the resurgence of the Song Dynasty, I will suggest Abolish the Xixia annual currency and restore the Liao Kingdom's annual currency. I can recover the Liao Kingdom's envoys now."

Fan Zheng paused and said solemnly: "If the official family wants to become an emperor through the ages and unify the world, they must have the courage to face the Liao Kingdom."

Everyone knows that the Sui coins can maintain peace, which is a good deal. However, although the Sui coins can maintain a short-term peace in the Song Dynasty, Fan Zheng, who is familiar with later generations, knows that neither the Liao Kingdom nor Xixia is the life and death of the Song Dynasty. enemy.

In the future, the Jin Kingdom and Mongolia will become even more barbaric. If the Song Dynasty cannot even resist Liaoxia, then when the Jin Kingdom and Mongolia rise, I am afraid that Chinese civilization will not be able to escape in the end.

"I want to save not only the Song Dynasty, but also Chinese civilization!" Fan Zheng said firmly.

Even if the Manchu Dynasty accused Fan Zheng of provoking the war, and even if the Liao Kingdom really launched a large-scale invasion, Fan Zheng didn't care. At this moment, the Song Dynasty's reforms might still have the power to fight.

If we continue to muddle along, I am afraid that like future generations, we will be unable to fight back in front of the iron cavalry. In the end, we will only be reduced to slaves of foreign races, and Chinese civilization will be interrupted.

"The Lord of Preservation, the Lord of Restoration, and the One Emperor through the ages!"

Zhao Xu was shocked. He couldn't help but think of the high-spirited vows he made before taking office, and his eyes became more and more determined.

"I agree with what Fan Taicheng said!"

Suddenly Zhang Dun came out to support Fan Zhengdao.

"The officials must not forget that Yelu Hongji is already sixty-one years old. Although a sixty-one-year-old hero is old and frail, he may have lost all his energy. He is an old Liao Dynasty, and the official family is a young man in the Song Dynasty. , even if he really has the courage to imitate the emperor of Liao Shengzong and conquer personally, when today's different Shenzong is different, the Song Dynasty has thunder and thunder, and he already has the confidence to test the Liao Kingdom." Zhang Dun said proudly.

"Shaking thunder!"

When all the officials in the court heard about the thunder, half of their timidity disappeared.

The Battle of Pingxia City gave them a lot of confidence. At least in terms of defending the city, the defensive capabilities of the Song Dynasty have been greatly enhanced. If they want to break the city of the Song Dynasty, they must pay a heavy price.

"Just follow Fan Aiqing's advice."

After witnessing the power of Zhentian Lei with his own eyes, Zhao Xu's confidence increased greatly. With this artifact, he was more confident.

Zeng Bu took the opportunity and said: "I'd like to inform the officials that although the thunderbolt is powerful, it is just a foreign object. If we want to fight against the Liao Kingdom, we need to reform and strengthen the army."

Fan Zheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. No wonder the New Party agreed to test the Liao Kingdom. It turned out to be for the purpose of reform.

"Please ask the officials to reform and strengthen the army."

A number of people from the new party came forward one after another, requesting that the reform be continued.

Fan Zheng looked around the Chui Gong Hall and saw that the new party occupied almost 30% of the court, indicating that the situation was complete.

"I sincerely request the officials to rectify their military equipment, strengthen military discipline, and restore the three laws of generals, horse protection, and weapons supervision!" Zhang Dun took advantage of the situation and proposed the method of strengthening the army in the new law.

However, due to the large number of opponents of the Baojia Law, Zhang Dun did not insist on it this time.

"Report to the government that the people's dissatisfaction with the horse protection law is huge! Please think again!" Surprisingly, Su Zhe, who was neutral, was the first to oppose it and pointed the finger at the horse protection law.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but frown and said: "Su Aiqing, our Song Dynasty currently only has 100,000 war horses, while the Liao Kingdom has many cavalry. If there is no horse protection method, the horse administration will be abandoned!"

Su Che smiled bitterly and said: "We know that horse politics is very important. However, there is huge resentment among the people under the Horse Protection Act. Just because the horse in the insured household dies of illness, the horse owner has to pay compensation alone; if the horse in the social household dies, the horse owner and the other nine households share the compensation." Paying half of it, every time horse plague occurs, the insured horses suffer heavy casualties, and the insured households complain."

Officials of the old party also agreed, and the method of protecting horses suddenly became the target of public criticism.

Zhao Xu suddenly had a headache. If he wanted to fight, he had to raise horses. However, the method of protecting horses was filled with public resentment, leaving him in a dilemma.

"I have someone who can solve the problem of war horses."

Fan Zheng saw this and said loudly.

In an instant, the debate in the court fell silent, and they suddenly looked at Fan Zheng.

"really?"

Zhao Xu said in surprise.

Other important ministers also looked at Fan Zheng with suspicion. The Song Dynasty had been having a headache with its war horse for a long time, and they did not believe that Fan Zheng's evil prescription could solve it.

Fan Zheng nodded and said, "Do the officials still remember King Shen raising pigs?"

All the officials were shocked. King Shen's pig raising was Fan Zheng's evil method to cure the blindness of the common people in the world. It was once despised by everyone, but now King Shen's pig factory is enough to supply half of the meat of the entire Kaifeng city, and the people of Kaifeng The main meat changed from mutton to pork for the first time.

Zhao Xu was disappointed and said: "King Shen only raises pigs for meat, so they can be kept in captivity, but this is not the case with Ma Zheng. A qualified war horse needs to be intensively raised and trained, and it is impossible to keep it in captivity."

War horses are not meat horses, but require a series of training, otherwise it will be impossible to go to the battlefield.

Other ministers also shook their heads. King Shen's method of raising pigs was not suitable for Ma Zheng at all.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "King Shen's method of raising pigs is indeed not suitable for horse administration. However, the biggest contributor to King Shen's success in raising pigs is the line of doctors and veterinarians. The horse administration of the Song Dynasty was not prosperous. One of the reasons was that horse plague was rampant. The second is that they are not reproducing well, and the third is that the quality of the war horses is not high."

All the ministers in the court nodded. This was the most troublesome thing about the horse administration of the Song Dynasty. Even if it cost a lot of money, the Song Dynasty still had a serious shortage of horses.

Fan Zheng said proudly: "However, these three stubborn diseases can be easily solved in the hands of veterinarians. If there is anyone in the world who can solve horse politics, it must be the veterinarians."

"veterinary?"

In the Chui Gong Hall, all the officials were stunned! He looked at Fan Zheng in disbelief.

No one would have thought that a small branch of the medical family would be the key to solving Ma Zheng's stubborn problems.
