Crossing Wu Dalang starts from selling cakes

Chapter 523 Canonize Xichuan Road Jiedu Envoy!

Although Yelu Dashi has occupied a remote area, in fact he has not called himself a country to the outside world.

Hearing his subordinate's suggestion, Yelu Dashi's heart moved.

It might be fine for him to stay here for the time being, but once he declared himself emperor, he was really worried that Da Song would be displeased if he found out, and would send troops to destroy him.

After thinking for a while, Yelu Dashi smiled wryly and said, "It's too early now, we need to develop slowly. Let's talk about it when our soldiers, horses, food, and people grow to a certain scale."

Yelu Dashi didn't want to be too high-profile, for fear of being attacked.

In fact, he has already thought of the name of the country. If they establish a country here, it will be called Xiliao.Continue the glory of the Liao Kingdom.

But they don't have this good opportunity yet, so they don't dare to mess around.

Yelu Dashi: "Now we have tens of thousands of troops to support. Fortunately, we still have some silver in our hands. There are also some mines here. Recently, we need to exchange more banknotes and maintain cooperation with Da Song. As long as we maintain cooperation, Da Song can make money. They will definitely not touch us."

"That's what the general said!"

"Now Tubo, Dali and other countries have started to exchange banknotes to buy food from the Song Dynasty, and Xixia was wiped out. This incident is too sudden. I'm afraid we will suffer if we don't cooperate!"

Regarding this point, they were controversial before, and they felt that they would definitely not want to exchange the small amount of money for paper.

Seeing that Xixia was destroyed, they immediately agreed without saying a word.He also took the initiative to send people over to discuss cooperation.

After all, people are afraid of ruthlessness.

at the same time.

In Song Dynasty, Wu Zhi began to think about how to improve the economy of Song Dynasty.

Also let the people of the Secretary of Government Affairs be sure to exchange as much as they have when exchanging paper money for gold from other countries.

The more banknotes in other countries, the wider the spread will be, and their convenience will bring more economic benefits. In addition, Da Song's cooperation with them is not just food, but also tea, sweet potatoes, glass, and even weapons. Weapons such as boats can be sold.

Now the people of Wu Zhi's administrative affairs department are in Yanyun, Liao, and Xixia, and they are constantly spreading.

The power is gradually growing, and his disciples are also beginning to increase.

The officials of the Department of Administrative Affairs respect Wu Zhi who established the Department of Administrative Affairs. Many officials have the ability to do things, but they don't have the ability to pass the scientific examination.The Secretary for Home Affairs provided them with an opportunity.

Wu Zhi's idea is that after the scientific examination, he still has to focus on the practical matter of being an official. If the Secretary of State Affairs can do a good job and recruit talents, there is no need for the scientific examination.

This caused them to be indebted to the Secretary of Government Affairs, so everyone who came out of the Secretary of Government Affairs was grateful to Wu Zhi.

Everything is going in a good direction.

Xixia has also temporarily stabilized, and the recovery and distribution of fertile land has also been completed under the calculations of countless officials in the recent period.

The efficiency is still very high.

The Xixia people felt a little angry about the recycling of the fertile land before, but after the fertile land was distributed, the Xixia people were so excited that tears filled their eyes.

Why?
Because they handed over the fertile land, the higher-ups will give the people a lot of compensation, and at the same time adopt a loan system, and different families will distribute the fertile land loans according to their heads.If you have the ability to plant more, you can borrow more, and there is no limit.

This means that they didn't have good fertile land in their hands before, but now they don't have any restrictions.

In the past, a large number of fertile land owned by the royal relatives and nobles of the Western Xia Dynasty and the dignitaries were distributed to the common people in this way.

As a result, they exchanged a small amount of money or loans for a large amount of good farmland.

Everyone couldn't believe it.

You must know that those who borrowed money directly obtained twice or even three times the amount of fertile land they had before without spending any money.

Still fertile ground.

The fertile fertile land was in the hands of the nobles before, and the quality of the fertile land of the common people was very poor.

Now they too can have good fields.

Moreover, the Song Dynasty was in power, and there was a national policy of tax reduction and exemption.This made the Xixia people very happy.

The most important thing is that a batch of materials were transported from Dasong, many of which were fresh agricultural products, such as sweet potato seeds, melon seeds, Chaoyou Qianhao, etc. A batch of new and excellent varieties were delivered and distributed to the common people. Their annual production of these varieties can reach several times their former ones.

An agricultural official from the Department of Government Affairs was also sent to explain and teach them planting techniques.

Ever since, the people of Xixia started to get busy, and suddenly found that the destruction of Xixia might not be a bad thing.

Of course, some varieties cannot be grown this season, but others can.

Moreover, when the members of the Secretary of Government Affairs go to the countryside to visit, they will ask the common people about any difficulties, and report them to solve them after they understand them.

It is really serving the people. Some previous disputes were not resolved by Xixia officials, but people from the Department of Government Affairs would help them.

In short, Wu Zhi's operation made the people of Xixia feel that the destruction of Xixia would be of great benefit to them.

The common people had a premonition that good days were coming, and they thought about it in a flash.

"Tell me that the destruction of Xixia is not necessarily a bad thing. The Prime Minister of Song Dynasty has a good reputation. I heard that he is a virtuous minister who benefits the people of the world. We will get better and better under his management. As long as our people's lives are good , who is the emperor who cares about him!"

"Well, it makes sense! Don't we ordinary people just want to be safe, have food, and have a little money?"

After this period of time, Xixia has completely entered the right track of development, and the people also have smiles.

In Xixia, apart from Han Shizhong staying behind, people like Yue Fei, Song Jiang and others had already returned to Bianjing of the Great Song Dynasty.

A large number of imperial troops also came back.

Of course, there are still many troops guarding the Xixia side, all of which were recruited locally by Han Shizhong, and some of the Xiang troops transferred from the Song Dynasty were retained.

The Xiang Army is not the Forbidden Army, the Forbidden Army is the elite troops of the Northern Song Dynasty, especially the Forbidden Army trained by Wu Zhi.

As for the Xiang army, during the famine season, a large number of refugees are prone to appear in the disaster-stricken area. If the local local officials cannot handle it properly, it is easy to stir up civil uprisings.The so-called one who can benefit a hundred generations is the only way to raise soldiers.

In the year of famine, there are rebels but no rebels. Unfortunately, when the year changes, there are rebels but no rebels.

At this time, it's time for Xiang Jun to play.

The regime of the Northern Song Dynasty would absorb the able-bodied people among the refugees into the Xiang army to reduce the possibility of rebellion by these people.

And those with crafts among the refugees, such as masons, carpenters, etc., will also be absorbed and resettled nearby.

These factors will result in an extremely large number of Xiang troops, but their combat effectiveness is very poor.

The main force of Xixia has been wiped out, so there is no need for the forbidden army to remain. With the consent of Song Huizong, Wu Zhi withdrew the forbidden army and sent it to the Xiang army to take over, so that Han Shizhong could train them while guarding Xixia according to his own training method.

Of course, there are also some locally recruited soldiers.Counting at least 18 troops guarding Xixia.

After everything is in order.

Wu Zhi went to the barracks this morning.

Count the losses of soldiers and generals.

Those who have contributed have been reported.

Song Huizong regards these rewards that should be awarded, and those who should be promoted will be promoted.The pension that should be paid.

Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others have all promoted one rank in succession.

As the leader of the attack on Xixia, Wu Zhi was also rewarded with pen and ink, gold, silk, horses and other things from Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, and at the same time Wu Zhi was conferred the title of General Zhen Guo.

He is already a prime minister, and these official positions are just an honor, so Song Huizong also decided to reward Wu Zhi.

After thinking about it, he simply canonized Wu Zhi as the Jiedu Envoy of Xichuan Road.

This Xichuan Road was renamed by Xixia, and later became the Road Administrative District of the Song Dynasty.

Wu Zhi, the Jiedushi, was different from others. He was specially approved by Song Huizong to have the power to manage the local military and all government affairs.

This caused an uproar in the court. Although this is not a fiefdom, it is still a little king.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, Jiedushi had great power.The Northern Song Dynasty itself inherited the old system of the Five Dynasties period, so many things have not had time to change.

At first, the Jiedushi in the Northern Song Dynasty was in charge of one or more prefectures in addition to the state capital, which was called a branch county. The military, political, and financial powers within the jurisdiction were all controlled by the Jiedushi, which was actually a small semi-independent kingdom.

From this point of view, there is no obvious difference between this and the Jiedushi of the Tang Dynasty.

The emperor Zhao Kuangyin was born as a military general, and his process of becoming an emperor was rather embarrassing. He did not start from scratch like Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang, and fought step by step.

Instead, like the generals of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, they took power step by step.

We all know that Zhao Kuangyin launched the Chenqiaoyi mutiny, and came with a yellow robe.

He is very taboo towards generals, not to mention wealthy and military Jiedu envoys, for fear that they will imitate him and do the same.

Therefore, he and his successor, his younger brother Zhao Guangyi, gradually lifted the general's military power through various means and measures, making Jiedushi a vacant post.

For Jiedushi, the most important thing is military, political and financial power.

In the year of Qiande, the imperial court ordered all local tax revenues to be sent to the imperial court except for the daily military expenses.

In the same year, Zhao Kuangyin ordered the prefectures to select and send elite soldiers to the imperial court, which weakened the local military power.

In the period of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, he ordered all the counties under the Jiedushi to be directly under the imperial court. The Jiedushi was only in charge of a state capital, but the imperial court used courtiers as prefects and prefects.

In this way, the Jiedushi didn't even have to take care of the local government affairs.

Since then, Jiedushi has gradually become a vain job, or a kind of honor, and has been emptied.

It is generally granted to the clan, relatives, ethnic minority leaders, and ministers of civil and military affairs. After drinking and releasing military power, many meritorious officials went to the local area to serve as Jiedu envoys. They have no power, but the treatment is very good.

And Wu Zhi, the Jiedu envoy, was specially approved to have the right to manage local government affairs and the army, including finances.

So to a certain extent, Wu Zhi, the Jiedushi, has restored the rights of Jiedushi in the early Northern Song Dynasty.

But how can this work? ! ! !
This matter caused the people in the court to change their faces!
They were shocked by the generosity of the officials, but at the same time felt that they were too ignorant.

Is Your Majesty the prodigal son of Song Dynasty?

Once shot, it is the scope of a country!
