A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

When I saw Zhao Xu again, he was like a rogue who came to beat the autumn wind. He went to Bu Qian next to Shen's house and went to the kitchen to find a bowl of ice cheese to eat. Zeng Ermei gave him another piece of dried meat and just took it. Come out.

"Where is the majesty of His Royal Highness? No more?"

In the hot summer, Shen An was enjoying the coolness under a tree, but the deck chair was occupied by edamame, so he could only squat on the edge.

Maodou slept in the recliner, covered with a thin quilt.

"It's not dignified." Zhao Xu squatted down beside him casually, biting into a piece of dried meat and chewing it with a frown on his face, "I added too much salt."

"It's summer. If you don't add more salt, it will go bad."

Shen An leaned against the tree trunk, and a caterpillar was wriggling on the trunk above his head.

"The officials have made up their minds and are going to take action." Zhao Xu listened to the chirping of cicadas and said lazily: "For this Northern Expedition, the officials said..."

"Personally conquered?" Shen An felt something moving on his hair and reached out to pat it...

Damn it!

He looked at the green liquid in his palm and wanted to shout, but he was afraid of waking up his son, so he had to rub it casually.

Zhao Xu looked disgusted, and then praised: "You really know what the officials are thinking."

"This kind of war... This should be the biggest conquest of the Song Dynasty, and it will be gone after that." Shen An knew very well that once the Liao Kingdom was destroyed, the Song Dynasty would no longer have large-scale opponents in the north.

"In the future, we only need to straighten out the grassland. This is not a big deal." Shen An was very confident.

Zhao Xu asked: "That's just right, the DPRK and the Central Government are discussing this matter a lot..."

So Shen An was arrested and taken to court.

"After defeating the Liao Kingdom, the tribes on the grassland must be cleaned up." Shen An's attitude was very firm.

"How to clean them up?" Han Qi frowned: "Those tribes are scattered everywhere, do they have to be cleaned up one by one?"

"There's no need for this." Shen An glanced at Zeng Gongliang and found that Old Zeng was aging a little quickly, "The Song Dynasty needed cattle, sheep, and skins. The grassland has these things, which complement each other."

"But they will emerge as a new force again, and it will gradually grow bigger."

"Yes." Shen An must admit that if history does not change, there will be some kind of golden people or Mongolian people in the future...

The ministers were quite worried, and Shen An thought they were just hammers. "But with the firearms... what can they do? Iron cavalry, the so-called iron cavalry is just cannon fodder before artillery, and they can only die in front of the divine crossbow."

After the advent of firearms, the little life of the cavalry can really be said to be like Wang Xiaoer's New Year, and every year is worse than the last.

"Artillery cannot conquer the world!" Han Qi had reservations about this.

"What about the muskets?" Shen An suddenly laughed.

In the eyes of the monarch and his ministers, Shen An's smile looked particularly ferocious at this moment.

"Musket?"

"Yes." Shen An smiled, "Your Majesty knows about this."

The ministers looked at Zhao Shu.

Zhao Shu said: "Shen An has mentioned the musket to me several times, but the Izumo Temple has never found the best way. Is this done?"

Shen An nodded, "I went to Izumo Temple yesterday and saw the musket that She Hui got. It's ready for use."

Zhao Shu nodded, "After preparing like this, I want to take a look."

The matter was settled like this, and then Shen An waited for the court to disperse, but saw Zeng Gongliang leaving work.

"Your Majesty, in recent years I have often felt heavy in my body and staggered in my steps. I am afraid that..." Zeng Gongliang raised his head and said, "I would like to resign and go home."

Zeng Gongliang is old. This man ages very quickly. He looks young today, but will gradually become old tomorrow.

Zhao Shu sighed, "I understand."

This matter still needs to go through procedures, that is, to retain.

Later, after leaving the Chui Gong Hall, Zeng Gongliang looked at everything around him greedily, and said with reluctance: "After I fell down, this man couldn't stand for a long time, and there was nothing he could do. But I couldn't bear to leave! Still! I want to see this great Song Dynasty flourish..."

Han Qi frowned and said, "Just go home and have a drink together when you have free time. How come there are so many sorrows in spring and autumn?"

Zeng Gongliang smiled and said: "That's right, that's all. I will go home now, and from now on I will watch you at home waiting to govern the world..."

Zeng Gongliang left very casually, but he came to Shen's house that afternoon.

"I heard that the Shen family has a good carriage and a good bathroom."

Shen An's eyelids twitched and he immediately agreed.

"Send it over now."

Zeng Gongliang said happily: "Okay, he is a good man."

Shen An, who got Zeng Gongliang's good guy card, felt that life like this was very pleasant, but Zeng Gongliang came again the next day.

"I..."

have to!

Shen An knew that the old man was bored.

Such important ministers will be very uncomfortable if they suddenly step down, and they will have to find something to do.

"Mr. Zeng, over there at Mangshan Academy..."

Zeng Gongliang shook his head reservedly, his gray beard and hair swaying gently, like a child.

Shen Andui said with a smile: "The only thing missing from Mangshan Academy is a respected senior like you! Those students talk loudly all day long, but they don't know the difficulties of holding a country."

Zeng Gongliang drank good tea, looked sideways at Shen An and asked, "Where's Wang Yu? Isn't he a genius who can't solve such problems?"

Shen An sighed, "A genius is a genius, but a genius doesn't have experience like you! This experience is a treasure, so that's why the old saying goes, if there is an elder in this family, it is like having a treasure!"

Zeng Gongliang nodded: "I'll go take a look."

"Don't do it." Shen An said seriously: "There is a thirst for talents over there. Do you know that in addition to the salary every month, the professors in the academy also get two sheep, a pound of sugar... all kinds of things... …”

Zeng Gongliang went to the academy. After receiving instructions from Shen An, Wang Yu asked Zeng Gongliang to teach a class with a look of thirsty for talents.

This course is called Confucianism and Government.

Zeng Gongliang's knowledge can naturally lead him to be called a great Confucian, and he has been in the Center for many years and is quite familiar with the Song Dynasty, so this course is particularly vivid and has become the favorite course of the students, even the professors They would all sit in on him when he was in class.

"Zeng Gongliang is so proud!"

Bao Zheng came to Shen's house, and Guoguo diligently brought ice cheese and told him to eat less.

Bao Zheng narrowed his eyes with a smile and agreed repeatedly. After Guo Guo left, he said, "What do you think of Guo Guo's marriage?"

"I'm looking for you." Shen An smiled and said, "You have to be cautious about this matter. As you know, the Shen family is too rich, and my brother has made too many meritorious deeds."

"Shen An's sister-in-law, this identity makes people flock to her, so you have to be careful." Bao Zheng frowned a little, "What should I do if I am cheated?"

Bao Zheng is old and would not have had this attitude when encountering such things before.

Shen An smiled and said: "Why are you worried about this? To say the least, if you are really cheated, you can make that person pay the price. As for Guoguo, just get married again."

"Marry again..." Bao Zheng looked at him, then nodded, "Yes, there is no need to be afraid of this. If he is cheated...just kill him without telling Guoguo! Remember not to be soft! At least drive him out of Bianliang City!"

Father and brother basically have this mentality towards the girls in the family who are waiting to be married, but Shen An and Bao Zheng are more ruthless.

"Mr. Bao!" Guoguo came again and brought a cushion to Bao Zheng. Bao Zheng was so pleased that Bao Zheng said that Guoguo was a virtuous and virtuous man and would look back on her as a good son-in-law.

Shen An is not anxious about his sister-in-law's matter for the time being, but many others are impatient.

Shen An wants to find a husband for her sister...

With this name alone, he could make waves in Bianliang and even the entire Song Dynasty.

The Korean envoy has arrived.

cry!

The Korean envoy cried bitterly in the court and talked about how difficult it was in the country.

hehe!

Zhao Shu looked very sad, but in his heart he was very satisfied with Shen An's plan.

Is this money still going to be paid off?

But this matter is not the most important yet.

The officials in the DPRK are currently focusing on Zeng Gongliang's vacancy after he takes office.

Those who are qualified are thinking of solutions, while those who are not qualified are gossiping.

Who can replace Zeng Gongliang?

No, who can take over the position thus created?

Shen An received the summons to go to court, changed his clothes in a formal manner, and before leaving home, he told Yang Zhuoxue to prepare more good wine and food today.

Yang Zhuoxue didn't know why, but Shen An smiled and said, "Just prepare."

The theme of today's court meeting is personnel appointments.

There was an empty seat at Zaifu's place, and Shen An couldn't help but smile to himself when he saw that Lu Hui was looking forward to it.

Everyone else may have fun, but you can't.

Wen Yanbo seemed calm and relaxed, but Shen An was willing to bet that under such temptation, Lao Wen was definitely worrying about gains and losses.

The so-called city government, driven by interests, will also turn into a mess.

Zhao Shu said something else, and finally mentioned the candidate for Prime Minister.

"Zeng Qing has now gone to the academy to teach. I am very happy to hear that."

This opening statement made many people look at Shen An.

This guy was able to drag Zeng Gongliang to teach in the academy. He was indeed very capable!

It’s just that the name of Mangshan Academy is getting louder again.

The former Prime Minister will serve as a professor. Do your children want to go?

Definitely want to!

Zhao Shu glanced at these ministers and smiled slightly.

The ministers were all racking their brains to plan for the vacancies, but as the emperor, he was on top, and he felt that everyone's thoughts were under his control. It was like a god looking down on all living beings.

He was a little reluctant to give up, and then warned himself, reminding himself not to get lost in this feeling, and then said: "Bao Qing has worked hard over the years and has helped me a lot. He can supervise the compilation of national history!"

This is the secondary phase.

Bao Zheng left work to express his gratitude, and everyone smiled slightly.

This promotion did not come as a surprise.

"Fu Qing..."

The surname Fu Bi was so disgusting that Zhao Shu's cheeks twitched when he talked about Fu Qing.

Fu Bi also knew that this matter was taking advantage of the emperor, so he stayed out of work.

"Fu Qing can be a bachelor of Jixian Palace."

This is the standard configuration of the final phase.

Fu Bi saluted and after returning to work, looked at Han Qi's broad back and gritted his teeth.

Old thing, I'm here again!

The officialdom is like this. Every carrot is like a hole. After Bao Zheng, Fu Bi and others were promoted along the way, the vacancies they left became particularly eye-catching.

Who is involved in political affairs?

Several qualified ministers' breathing was stagnant.

Zhao Shu said calmly: "Wang Qing..."

"I'm here..."

"minister……"

Several people named Wang looked at each other. UU Reading ｗww.uukanshu.net

Zhao Shu's head was full of black lines, "Wang Zhongcheng!"

Oooh!

Shen An mourned for a moment of silence for the ministers surnamed Wang who were off duty, feeling that these people would be so depressed that they wanted to vomit blood today.

Zhao Shu said with a smile: "Wang Qing seems to be unknown in recent years, but he has thought a lot about the Song Dynasty. I can see Wang Qing's articles after a while, and I feel very happy."

"Wang Qing can be involved in political affairs."

Lao Wang has ascended!

This happened naturally, and Shen An was not surprised.

If Zeng Gongliang retires, Bao Zheng will not be able to work for a few more years, and then someone will be needed to take over.

Han Qi can probably work for another five or six years, and he will have to find a successor by then.

Who will take over?

Wang Anshi!

Lao Wang saluted and said with mixed emotions: "When I came to the capital to serve, I felt that the Song Dynasty was full of problems and needed innovation everywhere. I was so anxious that I wrote a book of ten thousand words. But later, things were turbulent and the New Deal was silent. The sound is coming, one by one, one by one, let me know that in the Song Dynasty, the turbulent innovations will only tear apart the government and the public, and eventually both sides will lose!"

Hearing this, Shen An couldn't help but feel relieved.

Lao Wang has enlightened!

In the original history, the New Deal he presided over was nothing short of turbulent.

Such storms bring not results, but consequences. Under the game of all aspects, the New Deal tore the Song Dynasty apart, and party disputes dominated the court. The old and new parties took turns to come to power, and the Song Dynasty was left scratched.

Now Wang Anshi has achieved great enlightenment.

His great enlightenment meant that the Song Dynasty's New Deal would continue to be implemented smoothly.

This Song Dynasty will still prosper!

…

Good night.
