It is simple to find the easy, even if it has loopholes, it cannot lead to tedious things. It can also be said that it is a compromise move, and it can also be said that it is a way of tolerance and tolerance.

This dispute is very famous and is widely circulated among the people.

Some believers of Zheng Lang even regarded it as the important difference between Zheng Lang's Confucian reform and Shang Yang's Legalist reform.

Ouyang Xiu did not answer.

Zheng Lang also said: "In fact, this is the way to be tolerant. Although the exemption law brings many practical benefits to the people and is not enforceable, there are often many concerns about the people. Since its implementation, there have been still controversy, which is exactly the case. For first-class households, although there are a few more levies, there are not many levies. The main force for the real collection of exemption money is second-class households, including most qualifying households. If all poultry and livestock are removed, what situation will happen?"

Zhao Xu immediately said: "Duke Zheng means that in the future, he can only recruit fourth-class households?"

"Your Majesty is wise, that's exactly what it means," Zheng Lang said. In the past, the property was mainly calculated, including houses, workshops, shops, fields, this was the big head, as well as the livestock, poultry, trees, utensils, etc. in the home.

Some people, under the ruthlessness, cut down trees together, do not raise poultry, or cattle and horses, to "reduce" their own property. Poultry and livestock do not matter to first- and second-class households, but are very important to fourth-class households. Just a few chickens are missing, and they become fourth-class households with exemption from service. If they lack those chickens, they become fifth-class households with exemption from service. If they do not include them together now, they can only be fourth-class households with above-class households and have the ability to pay exemption from service.

There are some local officials who will do whatever they want, but the entire exemption of service is balanced. The country has never expected that the exemption of service will be paid. At worst, Fuzhou will be evenly given to the poor prefectures, and the harshness of the ruling capital is not very meaningful. This is very important and has become the biggest difference from Wang Anshi's reform.

Once all poultry and livestock are ignored, then the property of the fourth-class households, especially the fourth-class farmers, will seriously "shrink" and will escape the exemption of service. Of course, there are many benefits, so the breeding industry will be more developed. It is impossible to expect any pig farms, chicken farms, and technology constraints to appear. Large-scale breeding industry, the biggest problem, chicken swelling, swine fever cannot be solved first. Although lime disinfection has been used since Zheng Lang went to Taipingzhou. However, many families will raise a few pigs and dozens of chickens to subsidize the household. The more people raise, the more people will eat, and more people will eat. In any case, this is still in the Song Dynasty, when people rarely eat meat, so many people have a green eye, that is, the kind of disease that cannot be seen until night.

Zheng Lang continued: "The reason why I proposed this proposal was that various places had successively laid off a large number of service personnel, including wing soldiers, various archers, chariots, and strong men, and released them to allow them to engage in agricultural production again. Originally, I wanted to add some exempted states and prefectures to expand to the border to the poorest states and prefectures, so that the exemption law would benefit more people in the prefectures. Still, due to the opposition of the ministers and the reduction of the number of people was reduced, and this plan could not be implemented. Therefore, I simply proposed to exclude all poultry from property, so as not to let the people rest further. Good government affairs are taken from the people and used for the people."

It is probably not understandable to Zhao Ji, but it makes sense to Zhao Xu. Zhao Xu thought for a while and said, "That's right, only by taking it from the people and using it for the people can the country be stable. Zheng Gong will be approved."

Zheng Lang said again: "I reported to you two times and asked Sima Guang to lead some officials to go down to investigate the hidden fields of Eight Prefectures."

"It's not appropriate. Now that the army has been reorganized again, the world is in great danger, and things cannot happen again," Ouyang Xiu retorted.

"Uncle Yong, wait a moment, please read my memorial and I will explain it to you." After Zheng Lang said that, he presented the memorial to Zhao Xu. After Zhao Xu finished reading it, he handed it to Zeng Gongliang.

Pass it one by one.

Not only Sima Guang, but also more than 500 officials, but looking at the list of these officials, everyone felt suspicious. Only a few smart ministers guessed that Zheng Lang was interested. Because more than 500 officials were not officials, they were all officials, and some had little mistakes before. For more than half a year, they were sent to various academies or worked in various places with good performance, or some officials who performed well.

Zheng Lang said: "There are some vacancy in various places, from the capital to the local governments to the prisons. Some have been filled, and some have not been filled. Now there are about 400 vacancy. The day before yesterday, I heard from my family talk about it. I deliberately made the vacancy increase so that the officials can be cut. I wanted to have this idea. In order to reduce the controversy, I did not intend to do so. In the past, the minister deliberately left these vacancy in the Secretariat and did not handed over to the Ministry of Personnel and the Third Court for review. It was precisely for this investigation. Most of the officials were cut down. They were very resentful and they had the greatest voice to oppose reform. This time, I chose some major subjects, good performance, and a few outstanding officials to go down to investigate, supplemented by the investigation, mainly to fill the more than 400 vacancy together to satisfy all the officials selected by the public."

The increase in officials is not going to be effective. Only by adding hundreds of officials at once can it be a sensational effect.

But Fu Bi said worriedly: "This is not bad. You can check the hidden field as one of the political achievements. There will be controversy."

"There are controversies, but the phenomenon of hidden fields in the country is still very serious. I estimate that at least more than 3 million hectares of various cultivated land will be hidden. This is to further consolidate the inventory of hidden fields last year. By next year, the number of inventory will further decrease. This year, we cannot be taken lightly. However, Yanguo, why do I propose that Sima Guang lead them to investigate with various supervision departments?"

“Why?”

"Jun is very steady, a little conservative, even more conservative than Fan Chunren. He led it, so he was destined to have a strong momentum in this investigation, but the action would not be fierce. Yanguo, like the strange weather in June, only thunder was fired, but no rain fell in the sky. If he didn't dare to hit a few thunders, would he watch the country's government be corrupt?"

"The way of the mean?"

"It can be regarded as the doctrine of the mean, or the weak, Mohist style of the doctrine of the mean." Zheng Lang stretched and said: "Yanguo, I am too tired for this reform, even if I live a lifespan will be shorter than ten or eight years. But there is no way. As a minister of the Song Dynasty, I don't want to see a country that sink into decline. I hope that for my hard work, I sometimes stand on the standpoint of the country and all the people, and I will understand it."

Play the sad card.

But in other words, Zheng Lang has really good physical fitness. In the past year and a half, he has been like an iron man. If he were someone else, he would be exhausted and tired.

Those who object slightly did not speak, and those who agreed agreed would agree.

Zhao Xu took advantage of the heat to strike the iron and immediately asked the officials of the two-system to draft an edict.

Zheng Lang said: "Your Majesty, there are three strategies for this, please read it."

Present Wang Shao's plan of peace.

The general idea is: If a country wants to pacify the thieves in the West, it is better to subdue Hehuang first; if he wants to subdue Hehuang first, it is better to recruit the tribes along the border with kindness and trust. It is better to recruit the tribes along the border with the help of the clans along the border, so it is more powerful than to recruit the tribes along the border. It is better to support the clans along the border, so that they can be defeated by the Jiao clan (submitted to the sons of the clan; the Jiao clan is threatening to control Hexi. Your Majesty can indeed choose a wise and intelligent person, who knows the situation, and let the exchanges and trust go in and out of the crowd, and promote loyalty to comfort them, so that they can be admired by their hearts and minds. However, if they can obtain 57 leaders of the big clan, the rest of the small clan can be forced and used. After all, the Jiao clans will be lost, and the Jiao clan will dare not return? When the Jiao clan returns, the Li clan of Hexi is in my palm. If it is urgent, it can cover its nest, and slow down can be used by the confidant. Therefore, the motives of Marjian clans have been blocked for a long time and are willing to use it for China for a long time. This is his intention to use the Chinese title to power the inner ears of his tribe. The border ministers are Dong Jian

Therefore, no one can support the country to comfort it, abandon close support and make distant friends, be greedy for surrender and forget the support, so that Dong Jian can gain profit and seek credit for me, which is not the victory. The Marjian tribes are all descendants of the Jiao family, and each has their own family. The distance is only four or five hundred miles, and the nearest one is two or three hundred miles, which can be combined and supplemented. I am foolish in my opinion that it is appropriate to send someone to Hezhou to discuss with Marjian and order to enter Wusheng Army or Weiyuan City.

It is similar to the Han world, and is supplemented by the Han law. Because of the selection of officials, there are civil and military talents, they were ordered to live with Marjian, and gradually recruit the Qiang along the border with their kindness and trust. Some people who did not follow him were ordered to use the Han laws and regulations to power him. Since his blind campaign and deceived Bawen, the people who were involved in the land should also be submissive to their hearts with their titles and destiny, and to use the Han law and gradually behave with the customs of the Han customs. In my opinion, I actually helped the people of Xia and prevented them from forming connections with the Qiang. This is the best strategy for controlling thieves.

It is not to forcibly attack the Tubo tribes, attack some, win over some, make them surrender to the Song Dynasty, and then promote sinicization, and then send an official with civil and military talents to deal with Tubo affairs with foreign officials. Who is this method? Change the land and return to the current situation!

The purpose of obtaining Tubo was not to expand the territory, but to prevent the Qiang from assisting Xixia in helping Xixia to cut off its arm. Of course, if it could be properly gathered, it would become an important arm of the Song Dynasty. If all the Tubo lands were obtained, the West could cut off Xixia's rule over the Hexi Corridor. If it was a general attack, it could attack Xixia from Lanhuiwei and several routes of the east prefecture Yanhuanqing. Xixia would definitely be at a loss.

After all, compared with the Song Dynasty, the Western Xia army was not as numerous as the Song Dynasty army, the wealth was not as many as the Song Dynasty, and the weapons were not as sharp as the Song Dynasty. The Western Xia could get it with its hands.

If he is alive, it is too high that he cannot execute. He is critical to his death and his sons are divided. Now that Tubo has no leader, it would be impossible for Xixia to expand its sphere of influence to the ancient Weicheng area.

After reading it, Zhao Xu said, "Miao-Cai."

He handed it down again.

Wen Yanbo said: "Tubo is a friend but not an enemy, why do you use troops?"

Zheng Lang smiled and asked, "Kuanfu, do you believe that Tubo is an eternal friend? It was because of the invasion of Xixia. Then Xixia used troops to our dynasty, and Tubo immediately protected himself, sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger's fight. Of course, when Xixia sent troops to Kangu, our dynasty also protected himself, sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger's fight. This is the so-called friend. If Kuanfu was like that, after it was spread, few people would be your friends again."

This sentence is a bit funny, and several ministers lowered their heads and snickered.

"Secondly, the Liang family. The Han family has split too many times since ancient times, which has caused many conspirators. Some people learn from the Master's Way, unite, be loyal to the country, be loyal to the people, be loyal to this nation, and be loyal to this nation, while others are different. Learning from the fact that the genius masters are dedicated to hurting their own country and nation, such as Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao, it was their intrigue that Yuan Hao finally rebeled and used troops to our genius. When the Han girl Liang was in power, I learned that many ministers in the court were in charge. No, this woman was even more of a Zhang and Wu person. In the future, the strategy of the Western Xia would be to win over Tubo and use troops with our genius. Our genius was the most powerful among the Three Kingdoms. Of course, the Khitan was also powerful, but their borders did not contact Tubo. In order to protect themselves, if they did not impose oppression, the tenth Tubo ** would turn against Xixia, which is a road of renminbi."

"But they have a feud."

"What is the feud? Liu Bei died in Baidi City, what did Zhuge Liang do? Was Zhuge Liang unfaithful to Liu Bei?"

"However, if you take Tubo, you will definitely hurt the country even more."

"It's not as serious as you think."

"I am not restricted by my actions. I hope I can think twice. Xixia is so powerful, but it is defeated by Tubo several times."

"This is the case, but that was when I was still alive. In fact, our dynasty is not strong, but the cost of using troops is too high. If the wealth is sufficient and the strategy is appropriate at this time, we can take Hehuang and obtain Hehuang. Not only can we get a large number of brave and good-for-war Qiang soldiers and foreign soldiers, but we can also gain a good position in the territory. But you can rest assured, I am presenting this strategy for only a reference. If the financial crisis has not been resolved, how can we decide on Hehuang? I am not a minister who is a poor soldier and deposed military force. I submitted this strategy only to see that this person seems to be a talent that can be made. Therefore, I asked Your Majesty to make an exception and first make him the General Prison, then transfer him to Yanzhou as the General Prison Prison, and then let him know about the Security Army for two years to see what the person is. As for this strategy, it will be archived temporarily."

This requirement is not excessive.

With the three-campus system, Zheng Lang just wanted to train one person. Do he still have to oppose it?

Few people thought that this training was very important. Wang Shao's activities were mostly south of Huanzhou and he was still unfamiliar with the north. If he was asked to lead the army to attack Hehuang at this time, there would be no big problem, but if he was in charge of the army and attacked Xixia, Zheng Lang still had no confidence. With the re-exploration of the three states, Wang Shao's military talent would inevitably have a further understanding of Xixia. In the future, he would add another chance of victory when attacking Xixia.

Just like cooking, there must be various ingredients, cooking utensils, and chefs, all of which are indispensable.

Whether Guo Kui or Zhong Yan, want to take the lead or be an important adviser, they all lack some. There is only one person, Wang Shao.

Zheng Lang even thought of the reason why Wang Shao got the cervix. As long as Wang Shao didn't get the cervix, not only would the Western Xia have important generals, but even the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun might have dreamed about it.

The third play, the last play is to cultivate a general, and the first two plays are fine-tuning, not reform.

It will disperse.

Sima Guang went down, and Wang Shao went to Linzhou.

The New Year is coming, and everyone is waiting for the same important news, the financial statements of Sansi!

As soon as the report is released, you can see the country's financial situation.

Zheng Lang continued to travel around the two governments, laying off troops and reorganizing some troops. There were many things and more disputes. This year, it would not be completed until at least until the end of February next year. At this time, the Ordnance Supervisor presented a strange bow, the strongest bow of this era!
Chapter completed!
