At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 46 The Celebrity Effect
On April [-]st, at noon, a man rushed to the city gate and shouted: "The prince has arrived~The prince has arrived~"

“It is indeed Wenzhou’s good fortune that the prince comes to Wenzhou.”

"It is a blessing to meet the prince."

"Take Erlang quickly, let's get a taste of the prince's civility so that he can be admitted as a Jinshi."

Amid the commotion, the people went out of the city to meet Wang Yinglin. The emperor was so envious of the formation that the walls parted.

I remember when the courtiers protected the two kings when they entered Wenzhou, the people did not close the door, but watched with cold eyes. How could they be as enthusiastic as they are now?
It's normal when you think about it. People can't trust a bunch of bereaved dogs, and they don't think that mere children can achieve anything, so they naturally ignore them.

Wang Yinglin is different. Everyone knows that the Three Character Classic is a must for children's enlightenment. For scholars, his "Ke Kao" is a treasure book for imperial examination candidates, not to mention other works and official results.

Such a figure would have been able to enter the Confucius Temple if he had not obscured himself after the death of the Song Dynasty.

Ten miles outside the city, Wang Yinglin led more than a thousand people and more than a hundred vehicles toward Wenzhou City.

The people came to greet them, and Wang Yinglin was not arrogant and responded to them one by one.

After walking and walking, when they arrived at the gate of the city, Xiu Wang Zhao and Lu greeted him. When they arrived, Zhao went out to greet him.

Wang Yinglin bowed prostrate and said: "My king Yinglin pays homage to your majesty, long live my emperor."

Zhao Shi stepped forward to help Wang Yinglin up and said, "I heard that the Duke was coming. I was looking forward to it. I am overjoyed to see him today."

Wang Yinglin replied: "I am so virtuous and incompetent, how dare you let your majesty do this?"

Zhao Shidao: "Don't be humble, sir. If you are talking about literature, who will be the right one for you? When it comes to politics, how can you be inferior to others?"

The king praised the minister and said a few words, and Wang Yinglin introduced others.

In later generations, no one would know about him, but at this time, he was at least a celebrity in the county and everyone knew him.

For example, Hu Sansheng, together with Wang Yinglin and Huang Zhen, are known as the "Three Masters of the Eastern Zhejiang School". At the beginning, Zhao Yuchen sent people to search for him, because he was desperate for the situation and wanted to inherit his father's will to recompile the "Zi Zhi Tong Jian Guang Zhu" that was lost during his exile. And refuse.

For example, Zhang Bochun was proficient in law. He was a scholar at the beginning, and later served as a tax supervisor and an official. He was always aware of every detail. After the imperial court surrendered, he returned to his hometown and lived in seclusion.

There is also Yang Zhenlong, the richest man in Ninghai County. Although he is brave and strategic, he is unwilling to join Zhao Shi.

Hu Sansheng was persuaded by Wang Yinglin in person, and then Hu Sansheng persuaded Yang Zhenlong. When Yang Zhenlong became an official, hundreds of his fellow villagers, including Li Sen, Lou Mengcai, Li Xiang, and Li Ji, came to vote for him.

Zhang Boxun's family is in Huzhou, and Wang Yinglin wrote to him to summon him.

This is the significance of Wang Yinglin's return to office. Not only does he have one more available talent, but he also has an advertising effect from a celebrity, which will make more neutrals choose to join him.

After accepting everyone's worship, ordinary people like Li Sen who just surrendered to the army went to the military camp to settle down, and entered the industry with names and surnames.

After some nonsense, Yang Zhenlong said: "I was inspired by the prince to sell my property and donate it to the court. Please accept it with your Majesty's approval."

"Loyalty is commendable when you destroy a family to help people in trouble." Zhao Shi tried his best to restrain his desire to look at Chen Yizhong and continued: "At present, the court's expenses are insufficient, and your contributions are like providing help in times of need. They can relieve urgent needs and must be repaid.

I think that when the country recovers or the court has sufficient funds, it should be repaid with interest at [-]% interest. What do you think? "

Wang Yinglin immediately refused and said, "I serve the imperial court as a matter of course. Why should I ask for anything in return?"

Yang Zhenlong said: "I don't ask for anything in return, I just want to make contributions."

Wang Yinglin arrived late. In addition to recruiting talents, he also entrusted his manuscripts and sold his property to raise money and food. Therefore, there were more than a hundred vehicles accompanying him, not because he was grand and had a lot of luggage, but because he was carrying money and food.

What is working with negative pay?This is!

However, there is only patriotism here, and there is no selfishness.

Zhao Shi said: "If the world is like you, how can you worry about the uncertainty of the world? However, people have worries about the future, and it is difficult to donate their family wealth. Now to encourage people to donate, you should set an example."

Wang Yinglin said: "Your Majesty has far-reaching plans, and I am ashamed to accept them."

Zhao Shi made the final decision: "In this way, in the future, anyone who donates money or food will be registered in a register, and they will be returned as soon as the court is rich."

This is not a serious bond, but it still has some meaning, because Song Ting is weak at this time, and it may become cold at some time, so it is really not a good investment object.

But if you are loyal, you will most likely give it a try. Whether that is the case remains to be seen.Afterwards, positions were naturally assigned to everyone.

There are so many talents and everyone is eager for them.

Chen Yizhong said: "Your Majesty, there is a shortage of personnel in the Political Affairs Hall. I would like to ask you to return to the Renyuan and the fifth room. You need to know how to make imperial edicts and correct the official affairs of the fifth room. There will be two people each to inspect the official affairs and two people to advise the official affairs."

Well, there are 12 people in one mouth, do you really think that all of them are Jinshi?

Chen Wenlong was unwilling to lag behind and said: "I would like to send a serving censor and an inspection censor, each..."

"Queens, don't fight for it." Zhao Shi interrupted everyone and said: "The shortage of people in the court is slightly reduced, and it will never be the same as before. I intend to streamline the organization and improve efficiency.

The political affairs hall has one prime minister on the left and one on the right, and five people who are involved in political affairs to handle national government affairs. Under it is the Zhishe Renyuan.

The five offices of the Zhengshitang were abolished and three divisions were merged, and the functions and powers of the six ministries were restored, all belonging to the Zhengshitang. Among them, the Ministry of War was responsible for the recruitment and training of soldiers, the selection and removal of generals, soldiers, armor, food and grass, etc., and had no power to deploy troops.

The Privy Council is only responsible for mobilizing soldiers and generals, planning defense, strategy, and foreign campaigns. "

"Your Majesty is wise." Chen Yizhong immediately agreed.

The Third Secretary is originally a national financial institution, independent of the three provinces and six ministries. Its existence greatly limits the financial power of the Political Affairs Hall, while the Privy Council makes the Ministry of War have no sense of existence and prevents the Political Affairs Hall from encroaching on military power.

Now that Zhao has changed his position, the power of Zhengshitang has been greatly increased, and Chen Yizhong is certainly willing to do so.

"I think that with such a setting, the Privy Council may be controlled by the Political Affairs Hall, and the prime minister is too powerful, and it is easy to bully the imperial power. Your Majesty must observe the lessons of past dynasties." Lu Xiufu said.

Lu Xiufu had no choice but to object, because he was a representative of the Privy Council, and he would definitely be criticized if he argued unreasonably.

But what he said makes sense, because there is a natural conflict between the power of the prime minister and the imperial power, so the power of the prime minister was reduced again and again, and in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the prime minister was directly abolished.

Chen Yizhong said: "The so-called powerful ministers are just indulgent emperors. Cai Jing, Qin Hui, Shi Miyuan, Jia Sidao and others are all like this.

However, under the state system, even if such treacherous and sycophants are in power and often lose their manners, they dare not overstep. Why? "

The system doesn't allow it.

Looking at the past dynasties, the Zhao family's checks and balances were at their peak, and no civil servants or military generals had the possibility of rebellion. Of course, there were small-scale military coups.

Seeing that the two were arguing again, Wang Yinglin said: "Your Majesty is wise, decisive, strategic, and courageous. Who can bully him?

Moreover, His Majesty has said that if it is beneficial to national affairs, then proceed, and if it is unfavorable, then stop. Simplifying the functions and powers of the political affairs hall and restoring the six departments is beneficial to national affairs, and this should be done.

At present, the priority is to fight the war. It is not appropriate for the Privy Council to weaken the Ministry of War and abolish the Ministry of War. The soldiers and armors belong to the Ministry of Industry, the officials who have been punished and relegated belong to the Ministry of Personnel, the money and grain go to the Ministry of Household Affairs, the supervision of military discipline belongs to Yushitai, and the review of lawlessness belongs to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali. Temple, the rest remain unchanged.

Nothing is perfect in the world, and some gaps can be tolerated. When the country is revived and the world is at peace, it will not be too late to plan carefully or restore the old system. "

"What you said makes sense, let's deal with it accordingly!" Zhao made the final decision.

Seeing that Wang Yinglin's advice was adopted, all the new arrivals came forward one after another.

Among them, Chen Zhongwei, the imperial censor in the front hall, said: "Efficiency is the priority now, but the official system remains the same, so this is not an example.

According to the wishes of the minister, the official position is determined by the official position, the official rank is determined by the rank, and the salary is determined by the rank. The rest are ignored. If the meritorious service is commended, the title can be reset, and the civil and military affairs can be unified. "

The official system of the Song Dynasty was very complex, consisting of dispatches, main ranks, casual ranks, honorary officers, titles, and posts. For example, Chen Yizhong, whose full name is Shaoshi, Guanglu Doctor, Shangzhuguo, Zizhengdian Bachelor, and Shangshu Right Servant Shoot, right prime minister.

You Prime Minister is a dispatcher and is used for actual work. You Pushe is an official, also known as a salary official, and is used to receive salary. Young Master and Guanglu Dafu are casual officials, used to determine status. The Bachelor of Zizhengdian is a postal officer. , for pretentious use, Shangzhu Kingdom is an honorary officer, an honorary title.

As for the local magistrates, if you don’t add a waiting system/direct bachelor/bachelor of a certain temple/ge, you will be embarrassed to say hello to people when you go out.

It is indeed very face-saving to say it, but it is really complicated.

"This is a very good statement. Please discuss the details." Zhao Shi looked at the time and found that it was quite late, so he said: "There is no rush to do this. We will discuss it in the future."

The Queen Mother's advice is still useful, otherwise at this time tomorrow, the emperor will ask the ministers to hand in their homework.

　Thanks to "Taimo Ninja Ashaji" for the reward,
