"Since the reign of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty, we have been complaining about continuous misfortunes, frequent famines, wars and disasters, the country's progress is difficult, and the people are living in dire straits." At the family banquet in the Prince Wu's Mansion, Li Sanjian, the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, King Wu, Grand Master, said to everyone

: "Every family has the pain of a dead body, and there are cries in every room

In mourning, some people died with their doors closed, or their families were overthrown and mourned. Their bones are exposed in the wild, there are no roosters for thousands of miles, and there are more than a hundred people alive. The thought of them is heartbreaking. Although I have defeated the bandits, I will wipe them out.

Driven to the border, the territory has been restored, but at this moment, it is far from the time when the swords and guns are stored in the warehouse and the horses are released on the Nanshan Mountains."

Li Sanjian glanced at everyone and then continued: "In our Song Dynasty, we have Jin in the north, Xixia, and Western Liao, Tubo in the west, Jiaozhi and Dali in the south, and on the east side of the sea there is the Japanese country with a human face and an animal heart, as well as Goryeo, etc.

It can be said that we, the Song Dynasty, are surrounded by a pack of wolves, all of them are ambitious! Once there is any trouble in the Central Plains, they will swarm up and bite me, the Song Dynasty."

"Pah!" Li Sanjian became angrier as he spoke, and slapped the table hard, startling everyone: "It's not that easy! What do they think I am? A sheep or a pig or a dog? I won't do that."

As pigs, dogs, and sheep, we will become wolves, a ferocious wolf. They want to eat me, and I will eat them first. Sirs, if you don’t advance, you will retreat. Either we will eat them, or they will eat them.

We. The territory of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty extended to the north of Yinshan Mountain in the north, five counties in Hexi in the west, ten counties in Nanyue in the south, the South China Sea, including northern Annan, and the East China Sea in the east, including northern Goryeo; the territory of Li and Tang Dynasties extended to Long in the west.

The Right Road extends from Guannai Road to the north, Lingnan Road to the south, including Annan, occupying the entire city, and Hebei Road to the east. The size of the country is more than twice that of the Han Dynasty, but what is the territory of our dynasty?"

When everyone heard this, their faces showed sadness, anger, and shame.

"The territory of our dynasty cannot even reach that of Li, Tang, and Chengdu. Not only did we lose the gains from the expansion of the Han and Tang dynasties, we even failed to keep the land that Emperor Taizu fought for me. I am really ashamed of my ancestors and ashamed of others!"

It's a scar, a bloody scar, a heart-wrenching scar,

In the past, no one was willing to expose it, but if you don’t expose it, you will not know the pain or shame. The so-called knowing shame and then being brave. Li Sanjian opened this scar today: "Jin, Xia, Tubo, Jiaozhi, Dali, etc. are all mine."

Our homeland! We should take it as our responsibility to restore our homeland in this life!"

"What the Grand Master said is absolutely correct!"

"We are all willing to do our best and fight to regain my lost homeland!"

"Today we will know the ambition of the Grand Master!"

Everyone shouted together, especially the military officials, who were all excited and wanted to go into battle with their swords right now.

"Trying to be brave?" Li Sanjian nodded and said, "That's true. Now that the world has calmed down, there is a glimmer of peace, but it is not that when we wait for the swords and guns to be stored in the warehouse and the horses to be released in Nanshan, we will definitely have a battle with the thieves.

, it’s just sooner or later.

At this time, the thieves are unable to fight any more, so is our government the same? Therefore, whoever recovers quickly, who can quickly recover, strengthen national power, military power, and people's power, will have the upper hand. But how to recover? It is nothing more than promoting the good and eliminating the bad, reforming the past and making new things."

Li Sanjian then pointed to the food in the bowl and said: "To improve the advantages and eliminate the disadvantages, and reform the old and make new things, let's start with eating from this bowl. Frugality is the common virtue; extravagance is the greatest evil. Success is caused by diligence and frugality, and luxury is broken. At the beginning of the founding of our country, we advocated

Frugal style, rarely using precious metals such as gold and silver

It is used for making daily utensils. Scholars and officials rarely use extravagance to show off to each other to win. Among officials and ministers, frugality is the most noble thing. But why now, they take pleasure in laziness, pride themselves on extravagance, and one person eats the food of others.

, drinking and feasting, wandering around excessively?”

Some people in the crowd were immediately ashamed when they heard this, and couldn't help but lower their heads. After the victory, many people thought that the world was peaceful, and luxury gradually began to prevail again. Li Sanjian saw the signs and had to stop them.

, to avoid repeating the mistakes of Jingkang, and the first thing Li Sanjian wanted to stop was these confidants and cronies who were invited to Prince Wu's Mansion today.

As the King of Wu in the Song Dynasty, Grand Master, and Prime Minister, Li Sanjian lived a relatively simple life. It can be seen from today's meals, drinks, etc., that they are all used by ordinary people. This did not just start today. Li Sanjian's family

It is also relatively simple on weekdays, which is obvious to all.

You must know that the mansion of Cai Jing, Grand Master Cai, is surrounded by towering trees and golden jade. It is the most civil engineering work in the world. Cai Jing had a banquet. A single dish of crab roe steamed buns cost more than 1,300 yuan. The meal cost at least tens of thousands of yuan. It can be said that it is

Extremely luxurious.

"But..." Li Sanjian then glanced at everyone and said: "No matter how difficult it is for our court, Li will continue to advocate abstaining from extravagance and being simple, but the rewards for the soldiers cannot be less than a penny. This is what the soldiers paid for with their lives. We will definitely

If you can’t deduct even half a point, how can Li do such an inappropriate thing? Not only do you want rewards, but you also want heavy rewards. In this war, all those who have made meritorious services will be rewarded heavily!”

"Master..."

"Thank you, Grand Master!"

Everyone, especially the military officials, felt relieved when they heard the words, and at the same time they were full of gratitude to Li Sanjian. Some people even had wet eyes.

"Don't be too busy thanking me!" Li Sanjian smiled slightly and said, "There is only one special thing, and that is land. Rewarding land only rewards the use rights, not the ownership."

When everyone heard this, they were immediately puzzled.

Most people didn't understand it, but as long as it was a land reward, who cares what the use rights and ownership rights were? Everyone thought again.

Therefore, the trend of abstaining from extravagance and adopting simplicity in the Song Dynasty was proposed by the King of Wu, the prefect, and the Prime Minister Li Sanjian. A vigorous reform to promote the advantages and eliminate the disadvantages, and to reform the past and make new things began in the land.

This is the purpose of Li Sanjian's banquet with all his confidants and confidants today.

"Hey, you kid, you drink so much wine again?" Fu Erniang, the old lady of Prince Wu's palace, saw that Li Sanjian was so drunk that he was alone and drunk. After being helped into the inner hall, she stood up and supported Li Sanjian and said distressedly: "How big are you, sir?"

You don't know how to feel sorry for yourself?"

"Yes, mother..." Li Sanjian actually didn't drink too much, but he was a little dizzy and his steps were a little unsteady.

．

．

He could still speak, so Li Sanjian smiled and said, "You are already middle-aged, or are you still a child?"

Li Sanjian is indeed middle-aged, but his mother calls him "child" in front of his wives, concubines, and children, which makes Li Sanjian feel a little embarrassed.

"Even if you are eighty years old, you are still a child in front of your mother." Fu Erniang slapped Li Sanjian and said with a smile.

"Yes, what mother said is true." Li Sanjian nodded when he heard the words: "My child has made great ambitions since he was a child to let his mother live a wealthy life. But now it is expensive, but the word "rich" cannot be mentioned. Hey, my child

I broke my promise. And you."

Li Sanjian then looked at Cai Rongxue and other wives and concubines and said, "How can Li be so virtuous as to let you suffer with me?"

Li Sanjian is good at everything, but he can't control himself when it comes to women, one after another. This is probably Li Sanjian's weakness. No one is perfect, even saints have weaknesses, not to mention Li Sanjian?

Wealth and glory, this word of wealth, Li Sanjian could never give them, and he felt quite sorry.

"Why are you breaking your words? Don't be dissatisfied. You are much better now, what else can you do?" Fu Erniang scolded with a smile after hearing this.

Lord Song Dynasty, people above the clouds were something that Fu Erniang never dared to think about in the past. If the poor people in the small fishing village of Danzhou in Qiongtai could have enough food and clothing, Fu Erniang would be like Amitabha. But

Now Li Sanjian

You are the King of Wu of the Song Dynasty, Grand Master, and Prime Minister. Under one person and above ten thousand people, you are in charge of the affairs of the Song Dynasty. The Li Mansion is also the home that attracts the most attention in the Song Dynasty. Fu Erniang and others are also extremely noble. Fu Erniang has already

Extremely satisfied.

As for wearing gold, silver, silk and satin, delicacies from the mountains and seas, Fu Erniang doesn't care.
