A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

"I've kept an eye on the money and food. No matter it's the Political Hall or the Privy Council, no one can embezzle it without the official's permission!"

In the Third Division, Bao Zheng's roar made the officials change their colors.

This year, the third company finally managed to have some balance, and various reasons for asking for money came up, the most common being debts from previous years.

Most of the so-called debts were planned allocations, either for the construction of halls or certain rewards. Bao Zheng ignored all of them, and those who came to the Third Division to ask for money were kicked out.

Naturally, those officials refused to give up. Some went to their superiors to complain, and some wrote memorials saying that Bao Zheng was overbearing. But Shangguan was silent, and the memorial was as sparse as a stone sinking into the sea, without any response.

The Song Dynasty's finances had been corrupted for some years, but now there is a surplus, firstly, to increase revenue, for which the Shipping Department has made a lot of contributions. The second is to reduce expenditures. Whether it is the reform of the clan or the cancellation of the rules of organizing disaster victims into the Xiang army, the Song Dynasty's finances have been given a chance to breathe.

And Bao Zheng, the third commander, played an even greater role.

With him in charge of the third division, those unreasonable expenses should be ignored. Not to mention ministers, officials must be mentally prepared to be withdrawn if they want to reach out.

When Bao Zheng saw that the officials were all submissive, he prepared to go to the palace to ask Zhao Shu to discuss whether the rewards at the end of the year could be reduced.

The emperors of the old Zhao family wished they could wear a pair of trousers with the civil servants. They were really considerate, but in Bao Zheng's opinion, it was all in vain.

Among human nature, the most common habit is the white-eyed wolf. When they get used to those unexpected rewards, they will become accustomed to them. Of course, if you don't give them any day, they will be dissatisfied and clamor.

If a person insists on giving one yuan to a beggar every day, but suddenly only gives 50 cents one day, the beggar will probably react with surprise.

"Shouldn't it be one dollar?"

This is the human heart.

Bao Zheng felt that Zhao Shu should know the cruel side so that he could give up those fantasies.

"Bao Xiang!"

A clerk rushed over and said, "Prime Minister Bao, someone is looking for you at home."

"Didn't I say you are not allowed to come to Sansi?"

Bao Zheng was furious. When his family came, he said with a fierce face: "What's going on? If there is a mistake, I will be held responsible!"

The servant did not panic and said, "Alang, the young lady of the Shen family has been sent here with a baggage."

Guoguo came here carrying a baggage?

Bao Zheng's eyes became more serious, "Where is Shen An?"

The servant shook his head and said, "Mr. Shen is at home."

"You little beast, you really forgot about your sister after you had a son. Go home, go home!"

Bao Zheng didn't even change his clothes, he just ran out all the way.

"What's wrong with Prime Minister Bao? It seems he didn't take leave, right?"

"I'm afraid there's an emergency at home. Don't talk about it. Besides, if someone impeaches you, Prime Minister Bao will not spare anyone."

Bao Zheng hurried all the way back home and saw Guoguo and Bao Shou mumbling outside. He winked at Zhao Wuwu and Aunt Chen, motioning them to be silent, and then walked over quietly.

Bao Shou was a bit shorter than Guo Guo. He stood on the side with a face full of indignation, "How could your brother be so cruel to you? If daddy was so cruel to me, I would... I would go to the kitchen to make a ball of paste and put it in On the chair in his study, wait for him to sit down... Guoguo, let me tell you, do this later, and make sure your brother's roar will be known to the entire mansion."

Bao Zheng hid behind the tree, clenching his right hand into a fist. Thinking something was wrong, it turned into a palm, and finally into an eagle claw.

Guo Guo frowned and said, "You're not afraid that Mr. Bao will beat you."

Bao Shou said proudly: "If dad doesn't hit me, if he hits me, I will run away and he won't be able to catch up..."

"But...it's not good for you to be like this."

Guo Guo pinched Bao Shou's face and said depressedly: "Brother is cruel to me..."

"If your brother is mean to you, then be mean to him." Bao Shou said with great experience: "If dad is mean to me, I will be mean back, but..."

"Just what?" Guo Guo felt that Bao Shou was getting worse.

Bao Shou said with a bitter face: "It's just that dad has a straight face and looks scary."

"Deserve it!"

Guo Guo also said with a gloomy face: "My brother was not aggressive with me before. This time... I don't know why, but I took that sword, and he became fierce and fierce. My brother was not like this before, and I feel aggrieved."

"Ahem!"

When Bao Zheng heard this, he felt it was time to go out.

"Bao Gong."

Guoguo's eyes narrowed when she saw Bao Zheng. She probably felt that she had met someone who supported her, so she complained: "Mr. Bao, my brother was cruel to me before..."

"You shouldn't play with that weapon, but your brother shouldn't hurt you either. I'll hurt him later."

Bao Zheng touched Guoguo's head with a kind look, turned around and said to Bao Shou, "I'll let you rest today. You don't have to do your homework, so you can play with your sister."

Bao Shou first cheered, then looked at Bao Zheng and said suspiciously: "Dad, you won't want to make it up tomorrow, right?"

It seems that Bao Zheng has played this trick many times, but today he expressed his stance: "Just play."

Bao Shou said excitedly: "Guoguo, I found a hole the day before yesterday. It's under the tree. Let's dig it."

Guo Guo shook her head, "I have to wait for my brother to come."

I probably regretted it after I left home, thinking that my brother would be worried. But when he goes out and goes home, Master Guoguo loses all his face.

So stay a while longer.

Bao Zheng said: "Go and play with peace of mind. When your brother comes later, I will attack him. Well... you are not allowed to play with weapons in the future."

Guoguo nodded, but was a little dissatisfied, "I just put the sword on my neck..."

"What?"

Bao Zheng was stunned instantly.

"Alang, Mr. Shen is here."

Guo Guo immediately hid behind Bao Zheng and said timidly: "Bao Gong, don't be cruel to me."

Bao Zheng no longer had any thoughts about Shen An. After Shen An came in, the two of them exchanged glances, and then Shen An said, "Guo Guo came out to play out of boredom today, but you were troubled."

Children also have self-esteem. Don't blame her for running away from home, otherwise she will be very sad.

Bao Zheng nodded, took a few steps forward, and asked Shen An in a low voice: "What's going on?"

Shen An said: "She heard someone talking about Yu Ji, so she put the sword on her neck out of curiosity. Fortunately, she went back in time, but even so, she was scared to death."

Bao Zheng relaxed, "It's scary enough, but... don't be too aggressive towards the child, it's not good."

Shen An glanced at Bao Shou and said, "It's not good, but Mr. Bao, Bao Shou can't continue like this!"

Bao Zheng was rarely cruel to his son, and the number of times he beat his son was even pitiful. He could be described as doting on him.

But Bao Zheng said that his son was smart and well-behaved. Shen An's words were a bit suspicious of poking his lungs. Bao Zheng's face darkened and he said, "How many years can I live? Bao Shou is so smart. When I die in the future, you can just take care of me."

This is a refusal to admit your mistakes!

Shen An was helpless and quickly changed the subject, "Mr. Bao, who do you want the official family to be in charge of this time?"

Bao Zheng shook his head and said, "I don't know, but Han Qi is the most likely."

Han Qi is a die-hard supporter of Zhao Shu. He is going to the north, and Zhao Shu should give him face.

Shen An said softly: "I think you should fight for this matter. Anyway... this is an opportunity to make a contribution!"

Bao Zheng frowned and said, "I went to Yuanzhou last time and defeated the Xixia people that time. I have already made great achievements. It's time for someone else to go there this time."

"Bao Gong, this is not about sitting in rows and dividing the fruit!"

"Brother, I'm here."

Guoguo tilted her head and smiled at her brother, a little timidly.

Shen An wanted to glare at her, but when he saw this timid smile, his heart immediately softened and he said, "Go and play. Brother will pick you up later."

Does this forgive me?

Guo Guo was so happy that she shouted, "Bao Shou, let's dig a hole."

The two children went to the back, and Bao Zheng and Shen An went to the study.

"The main purpose of this northward journey is to deter and contain them, so that the Liao people cannot use all their strength to deal with the Xixia people."

Shen An whispered: "Last time in Fuzhou, the Liao people ambushed, so it was not a head-on collision. This time is different, the Song Dynasty stationed troops in the north... Bao Gong, think about it, after Emperor Taizong's Northern Expedition, the Song Dynasty When have you ever been so tough? Ever?"

Bao Zheng shook his head, his face a little red.

"There is such a day in the Song Dynasty. I am so happy that I am willing to die!"

Since the failure of Taizong's Northern Expedition, the Song Dynasty has been constantly passively beaten in the north, and can only use money to exchange for peace.

Over the years, everyone has given up, thinking that maintaining the current situation is a victory.

But who would have thought that not long after this, the Song Dynasty would actually be able to confront the Liao people.

Times like these make people's blood boil.

Such a Song Dynasty makes people want to cheer for it!

Hot-blooded!

Bao Zheng's face turned redder and redder, and that sense of pride made his heart beat faster.

Shen An felt that Lao Bao lacked the ability to scheme, but with him here, it was not a problem. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net

"For the first time, the Song Dynasty took the initiative to confront the Liao people. The two sides stationed troops to confront each other. It depends on who bows his head first... Mr. Bao, at such a moment, you will leave your name in history! Don't you want to?"

Bao Zheng glanced at the door, coughed dryly and said, "Guoguo... don't hurt her in the future."

Shen An nodded, "Yes."

The two then said something else, and Shen An left.

The old man was moved.

But he felt that Han Qi was the first to speak up about this matter, but he was not easy to argue with.

But Shen An felt that this was nothing.

Standing outside the Bao family, Shen An ordered: "Chen Luo stays here, and Wen Xiaozhong follows a certain person home."

After returning home, Shen An called Wen Xiaozhong to the study and said in a deep voice, "What did you say to Guoguo today?"

Wen Xiaozhong said: "The young lady asked those generals who was the most powerful. The villain said Xiang Yu, and then he talked about Xiang Yu..."

"Why are you talking about Yu Ji committing suicide?"

Shen An's voice was colder.

Wen Xiaozhong has a sensitive temperament. He was startled when he heard this and raised his head and said, "Mr. Lang, are you scared, little lady?"

"I can't scare her, but she holds a long sword on her neck and wants to see how Yu Ji commits suicide! Wen Xiaozhong!"

Boom!

Shen An slapped the table and said angrily: "Guoguo is still a child, why did you tell her such a thing?"

Children are very curious and want to try something they are curious about. But is this possible?

Wen Xiaozhong remembered the previous scene where Guoguo cried for a taxi while carrying his baggage. At that time, he was still scolding Shen An and Guoguo, but now his back was covered in cold sweat.

Poof, Wen Xiaozhong knelt on the ground, cold sweat flowing from his forehead.

"The villain is guilty... If there is something wrong with the little lady, the villain will die without redemption."
