The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 178

Many valuable contents can be seen from Cao Yang's narration and the files he brought.

Zongze: "Yes, in this way, one person can manage several acres. Also, you may have noticed that because Liuqiu Island is sparsely populated, there is a lot of wood, a lot of hemp, medicinal materials, and very good fields. But Following the example of the farming system of the Three Kingdoms, Wei and the people were divided into [-] and [-]. Let’s calculate it. The front secretary of the palace will provide furniture, horses, cattle, donkeys, etc., as well as taxes and production distribution.”

Zongze's idea is that if a large number of refugees have land to divide, or if they are also tenants, the share ratio will be higher.

Yizhou can attract a large number of refugees with their families.

After Zongze gave the suggestions, Cao Yang read them and said, "These conflict with the current Song laws."

Zongze shook his head: "Song law is Song law, Liuqiu is not Song land. You can try new methods. If it is harmful, you can stop early. If it is good, you can try to modify Song law to benefit the people. "

Cao Yang hesitated for a moment: "Zong Chengzhi, between Song Lu and Brother Shen, you have gone astray. I am different. Brother Shen and I are brothers, and we are relatives."

"Really?" Zongze smiled: "Brother Yang, I can tell you the truth. In this world, I dare not claim to be righteous, but I am also a loyal minister who fulfills his duties. If the world were all ministers like me, Zongze, Brother Xin will not be tolerated in the world. But you know that when I was young, I saw a lot of corruption in government and frequent foreign enemies."

Speaking of this, Zongze sighed: "I traveled all over the world and thought about the way to govern the country. After seeing the repeated invasions of Liao and Xixia, I also wanted to stabilize the country. In the palace examination that year, I wrote a ten thousand-word remonstrance against the law, but I was criticized. As a low-ranking official, I have managed a county for ten years, but I have no qualifications to speak in court."

Zongze: "In the world at this time, Brother Xin is a powerful medicine, a powerful medicine to cure the world."

Cao Yang understood.

If everyone in the world were like Zongze, an honest and people-loving official, there would be no room for Liang Xin in the world.But today in the Song Dynasty, evil officials are rampant and the court is corrupt.Liang Xin is the person who solves all this.

When Zongze said this, his tone changed: "It's just..."

"Just what?"

Zongze replied: "Liang Shicheng."

Cao Yang: "Liang Xin's father?"

Zongze nodded silently: "Right now, both Zhang Dun and Zeng Bu have left Beijing, and Fan Chunren is old. The rest of the people will no longer sing the opposite, only Liang Shicheng."

Cao Yang: "No, not really."

Zongze shook his head.

Zongze calculated correctly, only Liang Shicheng could do it.

Let’s talk about Bianjing.

In Liang Xin's study, Liang Xin was still looking through the draft of the memorial. The tired Liang Shicheng woke up after taking a nap.

Liang Shicheng saw Liang Xin looking through the draft of the approval and walked to the table.

Liang Xin stood up: "Dad, you're awake."

Liang Shicheng looked at Liang Xin and said seriously: "Brother Xin, we are the servants of the official family."

Hearing this, Liang Xin was stunned for a moment.

Soon, Liang Xin said very seriously: "What my father taught me is that I am a slave of the official family. I always remember this, so if the official family wants to play, I will play happily with the official family; the official family likes stones, I will look for stones all over the world for the officials. If the officials like paintings, poems and lyrics, I will look for them for them."

Liang Shicheng was also stunned.

He was very flustered.

Because in just half a day back in Bianjing, he could deeply feel that his son was already controlling the court.

Before he left Bianjing, there were three ministers in court: Zhang Dun, Han Zhongyan, and Zeng Bu.

Now, Zhang Dun has been exiled overseas, Zeng Bu has been exiled to Baizhou, and Han Zhongyan has become a seventh-grade official.

The current left prime minister An Tao once discussed with Han Zhongyan that he should give up Hehuang. At this moment, he just wanted to vomit out all the food Xixia had eaten last year.

Right Prime Minister Fan Chunren is old, and many tasks are done by Chen Cisheng, the censor Zhongcheng. He is also determined to attack Xixia.

The reserved envoy of the Privy Council, Lu Huiqing, will be on the front line, fighting with the Xixia people.The rest of the government affairs in the court are usually handled in the courtyard of the house.

All handling opinions and drafts were left to my son for review.

what is this.

Liang Shicheng decided that this was called disobedience.

Therefore, he wanted to warn Liang Xin that he was a slave of the official family.

Liang Xin understood.

Liang Xin's answer was that he knew that his father was Zhao Ji's domestic slave. He admitted this, but did not say anything about himself.

Liang Xin continued: "Dad, you don't know. A few days ago, the official family couldn't eat, and they couldn't stay up late. They didn't even go to the courtyard, and they didn't practice their calligraphy. They were so scared. Those people shouted in blood letters that "Qing Jun is beside you," What is Qing Junzi, my father is also a talented scholar, but he just doesn’t want to do good things."

"That's... right." Liang Shicheng couldn't refute.

Liang Xin poured Liang Shicheng a cup of hot tea that was warm by the stove and continued: "Dad, I will be responsible for killing the people the officials want to kill. If someone scolds them in the future, the officials are wise and I am the one who did the bad things." .”

"This, this, this... is right." Liang Shicheng stuttered a little.

"No, no, that's not right." Liang Shicheng put down the tea cup: "Brother Xin, listen to dad, things are not like this. Officials..." Liang Shicheng was about to say something to persuade him, but he saw Liang Zhong directly knocking on the door and rushing towards him. Come in.

"Lord, Your Majesty!" Liang Zhong held a bloody box with three feathers in his hand.

Liang Xin was stunned because he didn't know what it was.

Liang Shicheng reacted the fastest and rushed forward with a single step. He had seen it before. This was an urgent matter eight hundred miles away. This was the second time that Liang Shicheng had seen it in such a long life.

The last time he entered Bianjing City, before he became an eunuch, during the Shenzong Dynasty, the Song army fought a fierce battle with Xixia. The Xixia army was victorious and the Song army was defeated miserably.

Seeing this thing, Liang Shicheng became anxious.

He is afraid.

Afraid that something bad would happen.

Liang Zhong couldn't even breathe anymore. He rushed the report to the palace for [-] miles. Wang Pu rushed to deliver it immediately. Liang Zhong took it and rushed to Liang Xin.

Liang Shicheng opened it quickly, and his face instantly turned pale.

Liang Xin grabbed it and only took one look at it before shouting: "Liang Zhong, call someone, call everyone here, quickly."

Liang Zhong rolled out and crawled out.

Battle report.

Eight hundred miles of urgent battle report.

The town garrison faced the Xixia army and fought bloody battles for three days and three nights. More than half of them were damaged in the battle. Except for the Song army, ordinary civilians suffered losses of nearly [-] people.

Cao Ping urgently summoned the Wukang Army, Wuxin Army, Wuning Army, National Protector Army, Shannan Road, and Jiannan Road for reinforcements to start a war with Xixia.

Xixia used the strength of the Four Supervisors and Military Divisions to move southward with heavy troops and sent troops to Jingyuan.

Liang Xin closed her eyes and imagined the map in her mind.

In other words, the Xixia army fought on two fronts, all the way in Hehuang, that is, the Shanzhou area.

The other road is between Jingzhou and Yuanzhou, which is the area east of Liupan Mountain.

Now, Xixia's main force has suffered [-] losses in battle.

Party Xiang Pingxia's cavalry captured 610 thieves' heads. In this battle, 300 Shufan troops died and [-] Zhongjia troops died.
