Compete for the Song Dynasty

While listening to He Libo's narration, Wang Pang flashed these pictures in his mind. It can be imagined from the above incidents that Yelu Zong, the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, was really corrupt, but now Yelu Hongji is succeeding him, is he also like his father? ?

Although I don't know the current situation of the Liao Kingdom, from what I know now, it can be seen that when Yelu Hongji first came to the throne, He Libo planned to go back at that time. Later, because he knew that Daozong came to the throne at the beginning, he persuaded farmers to start schools and relieve disasters. At that time, the governance in the Liao Kingdom improved somewhat.That's why He Libo returned to the Song Dynasty with peace of mind, and made friends with Miss Li Enxi on the way.

Is the current situation in Liao as described in the letter?Both Wang Pang and He Libo were deep in thought, and they had slightly the same thoughts on this point. He Libo opened his mouth first and said, "Brother, don't think about it. I've settled down and found time to go back and have a look and everything will be clear."

Wang Pang nodded, now he was thinking about who sent this letter.The two brothers chatted for a long time, and when they looked back, Tong Xiao had fallen asleep lying on the stone table. Presumably such a story was not as interesting as fighting and killing.

He Libo smiled, the stone table and bench were strangely cold, and he was about to wake up Tong Xiao; Wang Bang signaled to him softly, let him continue to sleep, he carried Tong Xiao back to Tong Xiao's bedroom. [

Wang Pang intends to discuss with his adoptive father Bao Zheng, but after thinking about it, it is related to He Libo's true identity, and the truth of this letter is unknown, if he rashly gets it to Mr. Bao, it will make Mr. Bao embarrassed.Thinking about my own father, Wang Anshi, he is a literati, although his character is worse than Mr. Bao's, his determination is not as good as Mr. Bao's.Fuck his uncle, since he has no clue, it's better to wait and see what happens.

That night, the Meyer Mansion was full of excitement. Seeing He Li Bo's reluctant smile, Wang Pang knew that he was still uneasy, although he was also reluctant to part with this big brother, remembering that He Li Bo went to Di Qing at the beginning, and then went back and forth for himself , fighting side by side on Hengshan.Although the two are not biological brothers, they have had a deep relationship over the past few years.Regardless of whether this letter is true or not, He Libo will return to the Liao Kingdom.

Wang Pang recalled the past, with mixed feelings in his heart, he held up his cup and solemnly said to He Libo: "Brother He is happy to have a son, it is a gratifying thing to congratulate, and now the management of the Mayer Mansion is well organized, Thank you Wang here. Now the eldest brother must go home and have a look, and report the good news by the way."

When He Libo saw Wang Pang's sincere words, his gratitude was beyond words.So I made a plan and prepared to take care of it in a few days and set off immediately.

When everyone heard that He Libo was going back to his hometown, they felt a little bit sad, but it was human nature. Except for Wang Pang, no one knew that He Libo's trip meant leaving Song Kingdom forever.

After the feast was gone, Wang Pang was lying on the bed thinking about it under the moonlight, so he leaned against him and didn't bother him.In the past two years, the two of them get together less often and leave more. Every time Wang Pang returns to his side, Yuexia always likes to snuggle up to his side when no one is around, and he will feel a sense of security when he is warm.

Wang Pang held Yuexia in his arms, and he was not willing to part with Yuexia, but he had a hunch that the affairs of the Liao Kingdom must have something to do with him, and he might have to travel far again.Even if you can't find the Yuejin Stone, it is also a kind of happiness that the two of you can depend on each other quietly and live the life of a man farming and a woman weaving.Nai's own identity, and more and more things were weighing on his head, which made him gradually feel that he was involuntarily in the Jianghu, and he sighed softly.

Yue Xia lay on Wang Pang's chest, her delicate face felt Wang Pang's question, she closed her eyes quietly, and suddenly heard Wang Pang's sigh, she asked softly, "Does your husband have something on your mind?"

Wang Pang felt sorry for his lovely wife, and said with a sigh: "You have suffered a lot these past few years."

After hearing Wang Pang's heartfelt words, Yuexia felt warm in her heart, and couldn't help but shed tears: "Every time I think of you and me getting acquainted, getting married, and how you treat me well, it's not bitter but I feel very happy." .”

Wang Pang felt his heart wet, touched Yuexia's face, wiped her tears and said: "Don't cry, the most romantic thing is to grow old together." He suddenly remembered the lyrics.

Yuexia smiled slightly, her husband always said such inexplicable words: "I'm not crying for me, I just feel sorry for your hard work, and I blame myself for not being a man, otherwise I can follow you every day and take care of you."

Wang Pang was moved when he heard this, and hugged Yuexia tightly.

(Writing here, I can’t help but feel entangled in my heart. This novel is not so much fun, nor is it so much love between men and women. The rarest man in the world may be just an ordinary person, who works hard to love what he loves, regardless of what he has experienced in his previous life It doesn’t matter, the important thing is that in this life, you can have a confidant to accompany you, and stay with each other in a plain way. The word “love” can’t be described in words, and it’s probably only when you are grateful that you can love each other.)

After the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, the officials officially started to go to work. Wang Pang was an idle job and had nothing specific to do. Now he was free and just went to court step by step.He stood there and listened to the memorials of the officials several times in a row. He carefully watched everyone in the court hall, but there was no news about the affairs of the Liao Kingdom.

Another month passed, and on this day, the crown prince Zhao Shu was very proud of himself. After the routine ceremony, he stepped forward and played: "Report to the Holy Majesty, since Cai Ting (zi Zheng) arrived in office, I will remind you Jiangxi West Road Criminal Prison has tried its best to reform Jiangxi’s salt law, and it has achieved results. In the past six months, the annual sales of salt in Jiangxi have increased by 100 million catties compared with the original.” After he finished speaking, he glanced at Wang.

Wang Pang knew that Jiangnan West Road Criminal Prison was signed by an official.It is a "Lu" first-level judicial institution sent by the central government in the Song Dynasty, referred to as "Ti Xing Si", "Xian Si" and "Xian Tai".Supervise and manage the judicial affairs of the state capitals under its jurisdiction, review the state government files, and go to the states and counties to inspect the prisons at any time, and impeach the state government officials who have neglected their duties in the prison.

This official position is a mouthful, but it is referred to as "Tiring Division", but later generations know a lot, and the most famous one is Song Ci.

Renzong was very happy to hear that this was a series of good things. He asked the prince with great interest: "Can you tell me how Cai Ting governs, if it is effective, everyone can follow suit." [

Zhao Shu listened to Renzong's instructions, so he reported Cai Ting's method of governing the salt affairs truthfully. It turned out that when Cai Ting took office, he ordered the local people to hand over all their weapons, and handed over the privately hidden weapons to the officials who patrolled the private salt dealers. People and soldiers, it is stipulated that all salt dealers who sell less than [-] catties of salt, have fewer than five peddlers, and do not carry weapons with them, the government will not pursue them, and only order them to pay commercial taxes.

Cai Ting divided the government’s salt fleet in Huainan into twelve classes, with 25 ships in each class, and the salt could be unloaded only when the salt was directly transported to the destination. All the salt was purchased by the government at a fair price, and then the money was distributed to the officials and soldiers who escorted the ships. This reduced the phenomenon of salt theft by the escorts and improved the quality of the salt (the officials and soldiers did not dare to mix salt with the salt). combined with sand and stone), Cai Ting also ordered to lower the price of official salt.

Zhao Shu had put in a lot of effort on this matter, at least it took him two full days to recite Cai Ting's new salt method. He just wanted to show the emperor and all the officials that the salt treatment is not something that only the king can do.As long as he has someone who can use him, Wang Pang will naturally not be able to intervene in Song's domestic affairs in the future.

To be honest, Cai Ting did this beautifully. Not only Renzong agreed, but also the officials of the Manchu Dynasty nodded in approval.

Now Zhao Shu was even more proud. After requesting an order to reward Cai Ting, he turned to Wang Pang and asked, "Wang Shilang has always been experienced in managing salt affairs. What does Wang Shilang think of Cai Zizheng's management of Jiangxi salt affairs?"

How can Zhao Shu's scheming be hidden from Wang Pang, don't come here, don't care if you are an aggressive general or use me as a comparison, in the end there are capable people everywhere in Song Dynasty, Wang Pang is happy to hang up his idle job, and have a few meetings with his brother every day Have a party, go back home and enjoy a few days of comfort.Wang Pang said with a smile: "Gao, Cai Zizheng used it properly, it is indeed a merit."

Zhao Shu looked around proudly, and seemed to be saying, how is it?Wang Pang had nothing to say.Liu Changzheng wanted to curry favor with the crown prince, so he quickly said: "Cai Zizheng and Wang Shilang are in charge of the salt affairs. In my opinion, Cai Zizheng's kindness and power are combined, which seems to be better." As he spoke, several officials nodded their approval.

Wang Pang smiled slightly, is this comparable?Thought so in my heart but it seems pointless to argue with these people.

Renzong saw Wang Pang smiling calmly. If he wanted to compare in his heart, he would naturally lean towards Wang Pang. But seeing Zhao Shu gradually matured, it is always a good thing to be able to find the way to govern the country, so the emperor became a peacemaker and said To "Wang Shilang's treatment of salt and Cai Ting's treatment of salt are different after all. Cai Ting is against domestic troublemakers, and Wang Pang is against Xixia. I don't think there is any need to compare."

After Renzong finished speaking, there was a voice of "the emperor's sage" above the court.

Zhao Shu didn't say much, and he followed the words of Emperor Renzong: "What the father said is true, Wang Shilang is indeed capable of doing things, especially for Xixia who is so unruly in governing the country, he can negotiate such favorable conditions for our country. It’s a great achievement.”

Renzong hummed, and Zhao Shu finally got the hang of it. Only by knowing people and making good use of them can you be a good emperor.He didn't know that Zhao Shu had something to say later.After hearing Zhao Shu's words, Wang Pang put a question mark in his heart.Has this prince changed his sex after taking rat poison?Or conscience found out?

No matter what Wang Bang thinks, Renzong's reward is necessary, and Zhao Shu proposed to add an official position to Wang Bang.Renzong has his own ideas. If I give Wang Pang too high a title now, the veterans may not be convinced.He said to Zhao Shu: "Don't worry about this. Wang Shilang is still young, and he is taking advantage of the exception. He will be promoted slowly after three years of Jingcha's term. As for more rewards, I think the officials will not have any objections. "

In addition to Renzong's idea, Renzong hoped that Zhao Shu could use Wang Pang well. If he promoted Wang Pang to a high position early, how would he promote talents when the crown prince ascended the throne in the future.

Wang Pang had no choice but to thank Renzong and the prince, Zhao Shu secretly smiled in his heart, it should be a good show on stage.He glanced at Han Qi and stepped aside. He got inside news that the invitation card for the birthday of the Empress Dowager of the Liao Kingdom to invite all countries to congratulate her had already arrived in the hands of the Prime Minister.
