Sima Guang was furious and said, "You are determined to pacify the Western Xia, but after the Western Xia, there are Uighurs again, but there is a time?"

Don't underestimate this sentence, it's quite confusing...

"Sima Gong, you can record this historical book, which has recorded the terrain of Dafeichuan," Wang Ju didn't wait for Sima Guang to answer. He looked through it. It was indeed not recorded, but it didn't matter. There were new and old books of Tang. Wang Ju pointed to one of the sections, that is, Dafeichuan was a place with abundant water and grass during the Tang Dynasty, and there were many lakes and swamps in many areas, which made the Tang army very inconvenient for transportation.

"Your Majesty, everyone, Sima Gong, this is the Dafeichuan of the Tang Dynasty, but what about the Dafeichuan of the current Dafeichuan? Most of the areas have become Gobi Deserts, and humans cannot survive. The Yellow River deteriorated in our dynasty, but the entire Western water and soil were actually deteriorating. Therefore, the Western Xia and the Uighur Kingdom in the Western Regions were not much intersected, and there were too many deserts and Gobi Deserts. The same was true for the Tubo Plateau. The powerful Tubo Kingdom collapsed and broke into pieces after the end of the Tang Dynasty, which was not only religious, but also because of the deterioration of water and soil, it could not pose a threat to the Liao Kingdom, and it could not pose a threat to the Western Xia."

Deterioration of soil and water is not a good thing.

But if the Song Dynasty took over the Western Xia Dynasty, it would be a good thing. These areas with deteriorating soil and soil will become a natural Great Wall.

Either it is Huangzhou Tubo, Aligu is not a thing, but Huangzhou Tubo has no longer been able to be tied into a rope since Dongwu's death.

Therefore, what Sima Guang said was impossible to establish in the Song Dynasty.

Wang Ju also gave an example: "Sima Gong. Zhang Zhiping defeated the Bagan Kingdom. But why did he not use troops to the Bagan Kingdom? Once he took down the Bagan Kingdom, although the land commercial transportation cost was high, it saved a year more than the sea, and even directly stimulated the economy of Bashu. If it cannot be governed, it cannot be occupied. This is my purpose, so after I defeated Champa, I did not occupy Champa. In military terms, I am more sober than you."

This is not just Wang Ji Ting's clear mind.

If there are not many powerful enemies in the northwest, and there is no room for expansion that Sima Guang is worried about, there will be many benefits.

Not only will there be an excellent ranch, but it can save more than 10 million yuan in a year just for military expenses.

But Wang Ju said another sentence, interrupting everyone's thoughts: "Sima Gong, you have said many times that our dynasty's tax revenue is unprecedented. It seems like... But you made a mistake. If there are tens of thousands of trump cards in the Western Han Dynasty, it is a wealthy person, but if there are not a million trump cards in our dynasty, you cannot be called a wealthy person. Even if our dynasty does not collect any taxes, because of the merger of the powerful, if the court does not take measures to prevent, the poor people will still rise up. The Qi people mentioned by the ancestors, I also say that the Qi people are just a theoretical Qi people."

"I have never denied the rule of Jiying Group and the various benefits it enjoys. But why did my ancestors say Qi people? I also say Qi people are not to ban the various treatments of the elite group, but to make the elite group a little relaxed and greedy, so that the poor people can survive and have a food and clothing, so that the country can be stable."

Sima Guang became even more angry and said, "Wang Ju, you ignore the people's ideas and coerce Your Majesty with military merits. If you succeed, you can go to the other side to be the overseas king. But what should you do if the Song Dynasty?"

This is the most powerful killing.

Whether Wang Ju coerces Zhao Xu seems to be really awkward.

And you can see Wang Ju's control over the other side and the strength of the other side.

Zhao Xu himself is a suspicious person. What impact will Sima Guang expose this problem and have on Zhao Xu?

Wang Ju sighed: "Sima Gong, I want to say one thing: the exemption of taxes and taxes by the official households is the rule set by the previous dynasty. But how much salary is the officials of the previous dynasty, how much salary is the officials of our dynasty. How many officials of the previous dynasty, how many officials of our dynasty are there? This exemption of taxes refers only to two taxes, not commercial taxes. Moreover, the exemption of taxes and taxes by the previous dynasty is a real estate (the fief and taxes are often attached to the official positions of the Song Dynasty. The fief is a honorary position, and the fief is the real estate that officials have). However, our dynasty cannot help but merge, and even the land that is not a real estate is not levied at any tax."

"You and many scholars and officials said that the country cannot speak of profit, but it does not speak of profit. What should we do if so many soldiers are involved? What should we do if so many officials are paid? I will not mention the salary of soldiers. If it is restored to the tax level of the Tang Dynasty, and even paying officials is not enough, what will the country be? There is also disaster relief and poverty alleviation. I remember that at the beginning of Xining, the treasury was empty, and Hebei had a severe drought. You told Your Majesty that letting the people return to the states to settle, in fact, is to send the people back to their hometowns in various states to wait for death."

"Everyone wants to be light taxes, and I want to be light taxes, but the problem is not only the severity of the tax, but the remaining two factors: whether the tax is reasonable and the merger of the powerful is not serious. If it is true, as you said, I will go to the other side to be an overseas king in a few years, and rely on military merits to coerce His Majesty, and achieve better results. If it has nothing to do with me, then I have almost reached the point where there is no desire, but I will be firm without worries. But why do I have so many concerns when I implement policies, such as launching purple banknotes,

Let the official record, rather than sending clerks to investigate the so-called unownered mountain monuments and tidal flats and lakes. Also, the country's land is more than 5 million hectares, which seems to exceed Zhenzong's land. However, except for the land obtained by converting Dali and Guangnan West Road in Jiaozhi, how many land is there, which also includes a large number of hidden fields found by Mr. Jiefu. There are so many hidden fields in the country. If it is found out, the two taxes will remain unchanged, and the people will be liberated. Why don't I dare to touch it?"

"Yes, Zichao has indeed damaged the interests of some powerful merchants, but because of the business environment created by the Banking Department, many people are not so stubborn, but actually have increased their income in the past two years. And some time ago, I told Your Majesty that although it seems that the Banking Department has made more people rich, it has not stopped the gap between the rich and the poor from the root. The people are not worried about the lack of people but are uneven. This is the biggest hidden danger to our dynasty in the future. But why did I not stop it? I really couldn't stop it, mainly because I was afraid of doing too radically, which led to strong opposition, which instead harmed the Song Dynasty."

"If I really want to be an overseas king, why do I have so many concerns? Also, if I want to be an overseas king, why have I persuaded merchants from other sides to donate so much gold and silver in recent years? The court has sent officials to manage overseas. I also know the situation overseas. Just a little population, in addition to being a sparsely populated area, is not full of gold and silver everywhere. On the contrary, the living environment in many areas is very harsh."

Got around...

In fact, Sima Guang's problem seems to be a killer, but it is not.

Even if Sima Guang didn't ask, Zhao Xu and some ministers with ideas came up with a lot. But they were inconvenient to ask, and if they didn't ask, Wang Ju would be unable to explain.

Sima Guang asked, but Wang Ju took the opportunity to explain.

The population is a mystery on the other side, but the first batch of officials are back.

In addition, Wang Ju asked Zhao Xu to explain his doubts, and asked the other side to hand over Mianzhou, Xiangzhou, Lizhou and Zhuzhou to the court.

No matter what the purpose of An Tao and the other two were to demote overseas, if you hand it over, then hand it over it and also get a Zhuzhou.

Moreover, when the officials of these ten states went to the other side, Wang Ju took them to Yanhe Hall, in front of Zhao Xu and his grandfathers. He repeatedly instructed that there should be no more trouble, and in addition, he carefully observed the strengths and weaknesses of the other side system, so as to improve various systems of the court and allow the Song Dynasty to last forever.

This is so much to say.

Wang Ju really wanted them to observe so that some advanced management models on the other side could be spread to the Song Dynasty.

This spring, more than a dozen officials on the other side also returned.

They brought more news from the other side, but Wang Ju didn't ask. What they saw was only part of it, not the real other side.

There are many good places on the other side, but in terms of the environment, most areas are indeed far from the Central Plains.

However, the Central Plains is not really that good, it was gradually improved by ancestors of all dynasties.

So in terms of environment, it seems that the other side is much worse than the Central Plains.

Therefore, Wang Ju said again: "If you don't donate more than 100 million yuan to our court, but use it to benefit the people on the other side, a family will get hundreds of yuan in money and silk. I want to go to the other side to be the king of overseas, but donate more than 100 million yuan to our court. Am I stupid?"

This sentence really worked. Zhao Xu immediately cleared his face, walked off the dragon chaise, grabbed Wang Ju's hand, and didn't know what to say.

"Sima Gong, I know that you think that you have orderly orderly, and I do not deny that orderly high and low are orderly. Just like Your Majesty, you are Your Majesty of the Song Dynasty and Your Majesty on the other side. But why did our ancestors say that Qi people are impossible to be truly Qi people in any system? But please treat the poor people as human beings, they are also His Majesty's people. If they do not treat them as human beings, they will not treat us as human beings. If they cast peaches and repay them with plums, this will also not be changed for ten thousand years."

"Even if you are in order, Sima Gong, you didn't do it. Your Majesty calls me Wang Qing, others call me Taibao, or Zi'an, why are you the only one calling me Wang Ju repeatedly?"

Sima Guang's face turned pale with anger.

But Wang Ju thought, it’s really impossible not to break up these old guys.

Look, they are so well-informed.

However, the problem is that Sima Guangxian's book, no matter what, was a great contribution to the Song Dynasty, although this new private goods were much more than the one in history (referring to the Daduan Chen Guang). At this time, it is obviously not an opportunity to break up these elderly people.

In fact, Sima Guang still underestimated Wang Ju.

It doesn't matter much that he offended Wang Anshi. Wang Anshi does have many flaws in his reform, but Wang Anshi's own ethics are impeccable and he is not dark in his work.

But Wang is different.

It’s not that he does things darkly, but that he does things by any means. However, he cannot deny that Wang Ju is not as good as Wang Anshi than he is good at it. In other words, Wang Ju holds the sword of light with the heart of darkness...

…………

Wang Ju is planning a darker counterattack again.

But it was not his counterattack that caused a sensation at the end of the year. This counterattack will be until next spring, and it is not the debate in the court this time.

Although this discussion caused some people to impeach Wang Ju again.

However, these impeachment voices disappeared soon, and it was nothing more than impeachment. Just wait for demotion immediately. Don’t blame Wang Ju for being strong, because Wang Ju did this, the Song Dynasty was indeed getting better with great strides.

Various people-friendly policies, 30 million large procurement, and 31 million national infrastructure...

If this happens, people's lives have not improved yet, then it can only be said that local officials in various prefectures and counties are too incompetent.'

Besides, there is one.

Not only the commercial prosperity brought by the banking department, but also the miscellaneous grains have also begun to benefit some people. Of course, it is still being promoted. If it wants to promote it nationwide, it will be next year and the next year.

On the other hand, it can also be seen that it is immigration.

With the implementation of these policies, the number of immigrants in various states and counties has decreased dramatically.

Some people will not starve to death if they eat. Who is willing to go to the distant shore or the hot Jiaozhi?

Maybe Zhao Xu couldn't see this change, but many conscientious officials wrote down the changes in each prefecture and county in the memorial.

In fact, they don’t need to write memorials. You can see these changes in policies in the capital, and the eunuchs who purchase merchants can pass these changes back to the inner palace.

So under this general trend, Sima Guang was also helpless.

Either Gao Taotao will continue to have a mental illness in the future, but it is really hard to say... and because he is worried about this, Wang Ju continued to express kindness to the Gao family so that they would not gossip around Gao Taotao's ears.

What caused a sensation was something that everyone could not imagine, that is the Northwest.

…………

The situation in the northwest is very good, not only Jingyuan Road, but also Lanzhou. Li Xian operates Nanhuizhou, but why does Nanhuizhou operate? It is equivalent to connecting Lanzhou with the Deshun Army. If the big Xishicheng suddenly becomes a big rear.

This is also very important. The Song Dynasty failed to attack Xia, and the Liang family released Li Bingchang again under domestic pressure.

Then he secretly sent someone to persuade Yu Zang Huama to surrender again to Xixia. In Xixia, he repeatedly secretly attacked him to descend, and Yu Zang Huama was at both ends of the rat.

After the forts and forts in Nanhui Prefecture were built, the west city became a large rear, and Yu Zang Huama was stunned.

It is equivalent to a big hidden danger, which is eliminated in an instant.

At the same time, Yanzhou secretly contacted many Qiang tribes in the mountainous world and would not operate Dongheng Mountain to the north for the time being. However, with these Qiang tribes and the Song Dynasty, a solid foundation was laid in the future to attack Xia.

However, the fatal killing has not been released yet, or only one step has been released, that is the Battle of Pingxia City.

Now it is time to release the second step.

When Sima Guang came to Beijing to present a letter, it was the time when the army on Jingyuan Road was operating.

…………

A heavy snow fell.

There is a quiet place between heaven and earth.

Li Zhongjie rubbed his hands and said, "Big Mother, it's so cold."

Zhang Qi said: "It is precisely because of the cold weather that someone planned this surprise attack."

"The wind and snow pacify Caizhou?" Zhe Keshi said.

Zhang Qing finally found out the truth about Wuyanxia’s mistakes, but Qu Zhen performed well in the battle of Pingxia City, so Zhang Qing did not pursue it, but just wrote a letter to Wang Ju in secret.

The Battle of Pingxia City used dozens of tiger generals not only to increase the chance of victory, but also to sharpen the problem. The final performance of these generals also determines whether they will be reused in the future war against Xia.

But it seems that this matter has disappeared.
To be continued...
