Chapter 350 Famous Officials of the Song Dynasty (2)

Kou Zhun was a politician and poet in the Northern Song Dynasty.He is extravagant in nature, upright and outspoken, and upright.He is good at poetry and writing, and is friends with the mountain poets Pan Lang, Wei Ye, and "Nine Monks" in the early Song Dynasty. His poetic style is similar and he is also classified as a late Tang school. His seven-character quatrains are the most charming.

Kou Zhun, the realm of literature and art: knowing destiny.

Literary quality: Administration A+, Agriculture B, Commerce C, Culture B, Public Security S
Spiritual talent: Direct admonishment: Kou Zhun will point out the monarch's shortcomings and inadequacies directly. If the monarch does not accept the correct suggestions, there is a chance that the monarch will enforce them, but he will be disgusted by the monarch afterwards.

Implanted identity: He was assigned to a friend and was recommended to serve as the Liaodong Tuntian Colonel.

Kou Zhun's greatest achievement in his life was to force Zhenzong's imperial commander to personally fight against the Khitan's 20-strong army.

In the autumn of the first year of Jingde, news of the Liao army's march south reached Kaifeng. Border officials were in panic, the capital was shaken, and the Song court officials were panicked. Some ministers in charge advocated moving the capital to avoid risks.Many people advocated fleeing south to Jinling or west to Sichuan.

Kou Zhun opposed all opinions and insisted that Emperor Zhenzong personally conquer the war.Kou Zhun recommended Wang Qinruo, the political advisor, to guard Tianxiong's army, while Zhao Yuanfen, king of Yong, stayed in Bianjing and went to Zhongwenwu to accompany the army.

Song Zhenzong went to Chanzhou City in person, but did not dare to cross the river.Kou Zhun and Gao Qiong urged Zhenzong to cross the river and ordered the guards to drive the emperor's car to the north city of Chanzhou.When Song Zhenzong arrived in the northern city of Chanzhou, the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the Northern Song Dynasty was greatly boosted.

After Zhenzong visited the northern city of Chanzhou for a symbolic inspection, he returned to his palace in the southern city and left Kou Ni in the northern city to take charge of the war.

Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty sent people to check on Kou Ni's behavior several times, but Kou Ni was drinking and playing chess with Zhi Zhigao Yang Yi on the tower, very calm.Kou Ni was so confident that Song Zhenzong no longer worried.This was actually Kou Zhun's strategy to reassure Song Zhenzong.

During the peace talks with the Khitan, he took a firm stance and reduced the original compensation of one million to 30.In the end, it led to the Chanyuan Alliance and a hundred years of peace on the border in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Of course, Kou Zhun is not without his shortcomings, that is, he only knows how to do things but not how to behave.During the battle, he completely ignored his colleagues and Song Zhenzong's face and had a tough style. Therefore, after the Chanyuan Alliance, Song Zhenzong alienated Kou Zhun.Soon after, he was dismissed as prime minister.

……

During the two Song Dynasties, he was a famous minister and national hero who fought against the Jin Dynasty.

Li Gang, the realm of literature and art: knowing destiny.

Military quality [Major]: Strategy A, Tactics A, Logistics A, General Selection A.

Literary quality: Administration A, Agriculture B, Commerce C, Culture B, Public Security B
Mental talent: Strong heart.The mind is firm and unwavering.As long as Li Gang believes in something and has firm belief, Li Gang's attributes will continue to improve before he completes the matter.

Implanted identity: After failing the civil service examination last time, after a year of studying in the Yanjing Library, he awakened his spiritual talent and was recommended by Lu Zhi.

Li Gang proposed ten things, including fighting against the Jin Dynasty, building internal affairs, and expanding imperial power.

When the Jin army invaded the south in a large scale, Li Gang was responsible for the defense of Kaifeng, organized Kaifeng's army and civilians to complete the defense deployment in time, and personally went to the city to supervise the battle and repel the Jin army.Jin Shuai Wanyanzong saw that it was difficult to attack Kaifeng, so he implemented a strategy to induce surrender.

Li Gang was dismissed from office by Qin Zong because he firmly opposed the request for peace from Jin.Due to angry demonstrations by Kaifeng soldiers and civilians, Qinzong was forced to withdraw his order, and Li Gangcai was appointed again.

Because Wanyan Zongwang was unable to attack Kaifeng, he withdrew his troops in February of the first year of Jingkang after the Song Dynasty agreed to cede three towns in Hebei.The Kaifeng defense battle was won under Li Gang's organization.

After Li Gang became Prime Minister, in view of the war with Jin in Hebei at that time, he believed that Hebei and Hedong were "the shield of the country". "With a little care, the Central Plains can be protected and the southeast can be safe." He hoped to appease the rebels in Hebei and Hedong. The power of the people became a barrier to defend the Jin Dynasty.

For this reason, he suggested that "the Recruitment Department be set up on Hebei Road and the Economic Development Department be set up on Hedong Road", and he recommended Zhang Suo and Fu Liang to be responsible for management; he recommended Zongze to stay in Tokyo.In addition, Li Gang also personally planned defense and set up key counties along the river and Huaihe River to strictly regulate military affairs and give strict orders. He also proposed measures such as recruiting troops, buying horses, and raising money from the people to support the troops to solve the problem of supplies for the Song army on the battlefield. Difficulties.

After more than a month of hard work by Li Gang, "border defense, military and political affairs are roughly ready", and the political situation of the Southern Song Dynasty gradually stabilized.

However, he was still held back by the peace beggars of the Southern Song Dynasty and was dismissed by Wanyan.

……

Northern Song Dynasty writer, calligrapher, painter, historical water control celebrity.His father is Su Xun and his younger brother is Su Zhe. The father and son are collectively known as "Three Su".

Su Shi, the realm of literature and Taoism: divine inspiration.

Literary qualities: A+ in administration, A in agriculture, A in commerce, S+ in culture, and A in public security.

Spiritual talent: Excellent literary talent: Get creative inspiration in a short period of time and create poems, songs, calligraphy, and paintings.

Spiritual talent: Water control: Accelerate the speed and quality of water conservancy project construction, and the water conservancy projects they build will have better irrigation, flood control, and water transportation effects.

Implanted identity: A student of Yanjing Academy, with outstanding literary talent, recommended by Xun Shuang.

Everyone knows the historical status of Su Shi's poetry, but Su Shi himself was a big talker, and his official career was bumpy almost all his life, so that later generations thought that Su Shi was a Li Bai-style prodigal with no real talent for governing the country.

But in fact this perception is wrong.

There are three Su family father and son, Da Su, Xiao Su and Lao Su.

Needless to say, Old Su Su Xun's greatest achievement in his life was to teach two genius disciples. It is also recognized by the world that the older Su Su Shi is better than the younger Su Such Che.

But Su Shi's strength is not only reflected in his peerless poetry talent, but also in his ability to manage affairs.

After the Jingkang Incident, why did the Southern Song Dynasty set its capital in Hangzhou instead of Jinling?The reason is that Su Shi built Hangzhou very well when he was in office.

Digging out the almost silted West Lake and building another [-] miles long lake. In ancient times, these projects were basically large projects that wasted people and money. But Su Shi not only did it, but he also did it very well and calmly, even in the Song Dynasty. No one in the world knew about the awesome things he did.

Because he did not ask for a penny from the court, he just asked for a one-third reduction in the local rice supply following the drought in Hangzhou.The land of Suzhou and Hangzhou has been a land of fish and rice since ancient times. There is a saying that "if Suzhou and Lake are cooked, the world will have enough".Therefore, during the Northern Song Dynasty, Suzhou and Hangzhou and other prefectures and counties around Taihu Lake were not only burdened with heavy taxes, but were also forced to sell large amounts of rice to the government at low prices every year to supplement the shortage of grain-deficient land in the world.

This is called: rice offering.

Since Su Shi transformed Hangzhou's West Lake and built water conservancy facilities throughout the region, he has completely transformed Hangzhou into the most blessed place in the south of the Yangtze River.

What's more interesting is that at this time, Hangzhou and its surrounding areas were suffering from a drought. The victims gathered in Hangzhou. Su Shi was working on the project while providing disaster relief. At the beginning, Su Shi's start-up capital was only 50 guan from public funds and 1 taels of gold from his own pocket.In the end, the Hangzhou government not only did not lose money, but actually made money. In the end, it was left with more than 1 guan in relief funds and more than [-] shi in rice grain.

In ancient times, no one in China could carry out disaster relief and infrastructure projects like this. In the past 5000 years, there has been no one in China. It is outrageous to think about it.
