The northwest is barren!

The reason why the northwest land is said to be barren is that it is vast and sparsely populated!

Without human land, it cannot become a ripe land that can grow crops. However, if it is cultivated continuously for thousands of years like the land in Guanzhong, the ripe land will become barren saline-alkali land.

Therefore, there needs to be a process for development.

The process of pioneering is actually a process of integration.

For thousands of years, the land of China has relied on the hard work of farmers to turn a huge race into a rope by using the land complex.

Whether it is the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, the terraces in the southwest, or the endless fields on the plains, they are all umbilical cords that connect this race's bloodline.

Wang Anshi's reform in the northwest was actually to reshape the umbilical cord. Well, this piece of land that had been lost for a hundred years was reconnected to the mother body of the Song Dynasty.

The refugees here are currently in poverty. The Liao people have been migrated away by Yelu Hongji and the remaining disasters have been killed by Yun Zheng's scribble.

Therefore, there are no houses of officials, powerful houses, or even wealthy houses. This land is as flat as its current appearance, without any obstacles.

The most important premise of the Great Reform is that everyone is on the same starting line, and Xijing Datong Prefecture is absolutely like this. Everyone is equally poor.

After hearing Yun Zheng's story, Wang Anshi took his old servants and guards to sit on the barren mountain outside the city for a whole day.

On this day, the old servant saw Wang Anshi sitting there looking at the vast wilderness and crying and sometimes ecstatic. It was not until the sun set that he reluctantly left the barren mountain and returned to Xijing City. From then on, Wang Anshi stayed silent and refused to leave.

Yun Zheng was very busy. Because his new official position was reduced, the governor of the West Army of Beijing, the procurator-in-chief Yun Zheng was appointed as the third department of the founding of the Yitong Department of the State Council and the ruling of Datong Palace.

This position is very important. From a first-rank official position, it is already the peak of a minister. If Yun Zheng is not satisfied, he must be crowned as the king.

Everyone knows that Yun Zheng’s goal is to be the king of the north! Zhao Zhen promoted Yun Zheng’s position to the limit at one time, just to prepare for the next step of becoming the king.

"The Great Song Dynasty system. During the time of our ancestors, they were the governors and the chief ministers, and they were either the chief ministers, or the ministers and the ministers and the ministers and the ministers were all called the prime ministers.

Those who are waiting for the elders and the prime minister to be dismissed from power for a long time will follow their old positions, or the prosecutor and the governor will be appointed as the governor and the vassal. It is commonly called envoys.

The story is that the prime minister has left his post and is promoted to the first level, or the third young master of the Eastern Palace has been in charge. However, Zhao Pu has been appointed as the prime minister for a long time, so he has ordered the prime minister to be dismissed, which is not a matter of gratitude."

The person who came to read the order was actually the eunuch Zheng Bin. Yun Zheng was very surprised. How could he, an old man from the West Palace, take on such a heavy responsibility? Could it be that Lan Lan has now taken control of the palace?

Although Wen Yanbo was the official envoy, the person who read the order was Zheng Bin. Wen Yanbo could only explain the origins of various official positions to Yun Zheng, a confused official.

After Zheng Bin read out the decree, Yun Zheng waved his sleeves and asked him to retreat. The emperor's order had been read out. His identity once again became the sixth-grade yellow gate, which was not suitable for staying in Yun Zheng's central army tent.

"Brother Kuanfu came from afar to comfort the soldiers and thanked him for his hard work. Yun Zheng was very grateful. But my brother was no longer here to dismiss a certain military post, right?"

Wen Yanbo laughed and said, "Now the general is so powerful that he dares to go against the will of heaven? Before I came to the army this time, I was entrusted by His Majesty to thank the general for fighting for the country.

If there was no general who let the horse out of the battle in Xijing, there would be an uproar in the court at this time, which would be extremely unfavorable to our plan to expedition in the north."

Yun Zheng chuckled and said, "A group of ignorant people, Shuai Di has completed his mission in Bazhou. He led the army and retreated. He was actually understood by a group of ignorant juniors as losing his troops and humiliating the country.

Brother Kuanfu, do you civil servants, at least you are scholars, don’t you know how to read some military tactics? You can make jokes everywhere for no reason. If a certain family dares to say that this argument comes to Yelu Hongji’s ears, he will definitely laugh.”

Wen Yanbo smiled and said, "The Liao emperor is probably not laughing yet. Yunhou's battle with Xijing in the Liao Kingdom was seriously injured, and the 300,000 troops disappeared. Even if the civil servants were more vulgar, it would be fine.

I really want to know that Yunhou has now been appointed as the Minister of Internal Affairs, but I don’t know when you will open a house? I’ll come and congratulate you?"

Yun Zheng laughed and said, "Brother Kuanfu must be feeling like hello when he hears this news, right?"

Wen Yanbo nodded without any concealment and said, "Mr. Yun, a martial artist should not be in a high position. Even if he is in a high position, he should not hold power. He should not be out of shackles!"

Yun Zheng stared at Wen Yanbo for a while and sighed: "I've been bitten by a snake for ten years and I'm afraid of the ropes, so why don't you be afraid of overcorrecting me?"

"The country is more cowardly, and it is better than warlord separatist! During the former Tang Dynasty, An Lushan was just a Hu general, with a low-ranking and obedient position.

However, after he became the position of Jiedushi of Pinglu Army, he was good at dancing in just over ten years, and his official position was promoted again and again. In the end, An Lushan had several positions, serving as the Jiedushi of Pinglu and Fanyang towns, and also served as the interview envoy of Hebei, the censor, the general of Zuo Yulin, and was named the Prince of Dongping.

With the desire to be overwhelmed, he also requested to be the governor of Hedong. Xuanzong appointed Han Xiumin, the governor of Hedong, as the general of Zuo Yulin, and replaced him with An Lushan.

An Lushan's mother and grandmother were both granted the title of Lady of the Kingdom. His eleven sons were all given names by Xuanzong. The eldest son Qingzong was the Weiwei Shaoqing, and was appointed as the Secretary-General, Princess Shang Rongyi; the second son Qingxu was the Shaoqing of Honglu and the prefect of Guangyang County...

Now Your Majesty is not as favoured as An Lushan of the past!"

When the generals under Yun Zheng heard this, they couldn't help but stand up and glar at Wen Yanbo. The angry Hanniu even pulled out half of the long sword on his waist.

Wen Yanbo looked fearless, but said to Yun Zheng with concern: "Mr. Yun, I have only admired you since I first met you, and there is no damaging intention. You are very literary and beautiful, and Wen Yanbo is absolutely not as good as you.

It is enough to be proud of others who can learn all night in their lives, but Yunhou is not only in military tactics, military formations, and military training. He became a wealthy man in Shu in three years, and even knew the skills of being arrogant in the officialdom. I was frightened and wanted to bind you everywhere but retreated again and again.

I am worried about the only thing that can be a war. If you say there is any difference between Yunhou and An Lushan, it is that your official positions are obtained through a hundred battles, and the country's dangers are repeatedly solved.

If it were in the former Tang Dynasty, it would be no exaggeration to be named king with Yunhou’s military merits!

However, the Song Dynasty was not the former Tang Dynasty, and the lessons of the past were not far away, so we could not bear to think carefully.

Watching Yunhou is a man of tigers and wolves, and hearing that Yunhou has the ambition to die when he is humiliated. This is not a normal military climate.

These arrogant soldiers and generals are naturally excellent to use against the enemy country. If these people turn their weapons to deal with the people of the Song Dynasty, then all the people in the world will be reduced to a cattle and a horse!”

Yun Zheng frowned and said angrily: "Do you think I really have the only way to rebel? If I really got to that point, it would be undoubtedly your forced."

Wen Yanbo smiled and said, "Who can force Yunhou today? You are now your own world. Once the chariots in the northern expedition are activated, there is no reason to stop. And how can the Western Route Army leave Yunhou if they want to attack all the way to Yanzhou!"

Chen Lin couldn't listen and interrupted, "Don't Kuanfu think I'm a dead man?"

Wen Yanbo looked at Chen Lin angrily and said, "Since you came to Yanmen Pass, there are 61 remarks back to Beijing. Forty-five of the 61 remarks are praising Yunhou's command well, eleven remarks are praising the bravery of the soldiers, two remarks are opening their eyes for Wang Anshi, and three remarks are explaining to Li Dongchu. No remark is performing your military supervisor's duties. What is the difference between such a military supervisor and the clay sculpture in the temple?"

Yun Zheng said angrily: "Wen Kuanfu, are you here to disgust our Western Army in the border? In the battle of Xijing, our Western Army suffered heavy casualties. Even Chen Lin personally came to the army to cheer for the soldiers.

Our positions are all exchanged for blood. Can't such hard battles be exchanged for your slight respect?

Since you are so worried that we will be disobedient, why don’t Yun hand over the military power to command your troops to complete Your Majesty’s plan for the Northern Expedition!”

Wen Yanbo said without changing his expression: "I don't have this ability! Yun Changsheng, you don't have to swear. I am only targeting you, Chen Lin and Wang Anshi, not these soldiers who have fought.

The merits of the soldiers will naturally be judged by the Department. The decree I brought this time naturally will be indispensable to the rewards of Your Majesty to the soldiers! This time the reward is extremely generous. I will only be happy for them and will be happy to see new generals standing out. Only in this way can I have inexhaustible talents in the Song Dynasty. At that time, no one is irreplaceable. At that time, you Yun Changsheng will not become the only candidate for the attack cluster in the western Song Dynasty!”

Wang Anshi smiled and said, "Wen Kuanfu's words are very reasonable. The words that should have been said. Let's say something nice now so as not to make the hearts of the soldiers feel cold."

Yun Zheng smiled bitterly and left the military tent with Chen Lin. Wen Yanbo clearly wanted him and Chen Lin to get out so that he could win the hearts of the soldiers.

Chen Lin was still angry after coming out. In his opinion, who can compare his loyalty to the Song Dynasty with him? Wen Yanbo is really not a son of man!

"Don't be angry with the military supervisor. Wen Kuanfu has always been incompatible with me. As long as he sees me, he will have no good face. I don't know if I, Yun Changsheng, owe him. Good things can make me miserable."

Chen Lin lowered his hand into his sleeve and lowered his head and said, "I am far away from His Majesty, so many things have happened for no reason. Why do I say that I only say good things but not **? How can I say nothing without me?

Do you have to frame the general and the soldiers?”

Yun Zheng laughed and said, "I'm afraid you will be a qualified supervisor if you do this!" (To be continued...)
