Chapter 154 Xiaozhi County (Part 2)
"Huachi County is very close, it's not bad," said Li Yuanwai happily.
After the order was given, the court appointed Wang Ju as a member of Lang Zhihuachi.
The officials who are assigned to the eighth rank are also assigned to the eighth rank, which is not too much of a loss.
Wang Ju raised his eyebrows.
Huachi is a small county, a small county with a small population, a small territory, and a small pain in the pain. It doesn’t matter if the small county is, Zhang Zaimo has been surveying for so many years and is just a magistrate of Yunyan.
It has nothing to do with the small county, but Huachi itself.
It was located on the front line. After the Qingli War broke out, the Han people fled together and had to be a town. Later, the two countries reconciled, and the people came again, and the population gradually increased, so the court reset to a county.
However, Li Liangzuo also plundered Qingzhou, and the people began to flee again. During Xining, he had to merge Huachi and Lepan counties into Heshui County. However, because Huachi is becoming more and more sparse in population, the Song Dynasty simply changed Huachi Town to Huachi Village a few years later.
Wang Ju didn't know some situations, but Wang Ju knew some situations. Now Huachi has many tribes left, as well as important military camps and towns, such as Huachi Town, Liyuan Fort, and Pingrong Town.
The worst thing is that the people of Xixia come to plunder at any time.
This magistrate is very good at it, but if he doesn't do it well, he will become a scapegoat.
Mr. Li didn't know that no matter what county, he was always a magistrate and a parent. More importantly, it was really close to Yanzhou. If you were not afraid of hardship, you could go directly to Fuzheng County, and then follow a rugged mountain road in Ziwu Mountain. After about two hundred miles, you would arrive at the "county town" of Huachi.
So when he saw the edict, Mr. Li was so happy that he took out a ingot of red gold with a total of ten taels of weight and gave it to the envoy who issued the order.
Wang Ju laughed and cried.
"Is it because Han Qi intends to make things difficult for me?" Wang Ju's idea is normal. The Jinshi treatment of this class is a bit low. It is unlikely to imagine that Zhao Zhen was appointed like that before. He is also a second-class person and can be awarded the magistrate of a small county, but the possibility is extremely small. He is mostly the position of a magistrate and a county magistrate or a state military officer. For example, Su Dongpo, after observing filial piety, he was appointed as a magistrate. When he met Ouyang Xiu, he had not left, he was taken to the capital for the subject examination and then he was awarded the verdict.
There is another exception. For example, Zhang Yu served as a Cao official for a long time and had enough Mojian, and was the son and nephew of a famous minister. Once he passed the Jinshi, he would be promoted very quickly. Referring to ministers such as Lu Yijian, Lu Gongzhu and Fan Chunren, it seems that Zhang Yu was appointed as the magistrate of the imperial examination in this term, and Wang Ju couldn't remember the specific ones. But with himself, he became the magistrate in one step, and it was definitely a bit unnatural that Zhang Zai had saved the 5 or 6 years of Mojian.
It was promoted and reused, but it actually gave me an extremely hot potato.
However, Wang Ju thought about it and found it a bit funny. This is a triple song. My father-in-law saw the magistrate, and Han Qi saw a very hot potato, but as long as he was smart enough, it would be a delicious meal.
But don’t be scalded before you taste this delicacy. Also, how can you divide more into this delicacy, put it in your own pocket, or do you want to divide it?
Wang Ju sat there for a long time and finally said, "Father, I may want to borrow some money from you."
"The money is gone?" Mr. Li said with a smile.
This time, Wang Ju went to Beijing to take the exam and took everyone to the capital together, which would cost a lot of money.
"It's not this money, but it has other uses, and it may be a lot."
“How much do you want?”
"I plan to raise ten thousand yuan from you and the Zhu family."
"That's what money?"
"It may be more, maybe I won't have a penny. I will have to wait until I go to Huachi before I can make a decision."
"What is the purpose of pie for so much money?"
"Father, have you heard of the invasion of Qingzhou in Xixia last year? Although Dashun City and Rouyuan Village were supported in front of Huachi County, Liyuan Fort is also located on the front line."
"Wouldn't that be a war?"
"Otherwise, how could the court give me the title of magistrate as soon as it was awarded?"
“That’s a little bit bad.”
"Father, don't worry, even when fighting, I can't get a civil servant to go to the front line. Besides, Xixia is just plundering on the border, so how dare you go deep into Huachi County? But be prepared for any trouble. Father, think about the weapons and salaries in the hands of soldiers..."
"This is not OK, Wang Ju, listen to me. If you pay this money, the first thing is to spend tens of thousands of pennies is not enough to spend. Not to mention tens of thousands of pennies, the second thing is that you can't pay, and it will make people gossip."
"Father, do you still need to say that? I don't want to raise the army. I can't afford it, and I dare not raise it. This money will be spent on the blade, and there are not many troops in Huachi County. Once I can use this ten thousand yuan, at least I can make this little blade sharp immediately. I won't use my name. Let's talk about it later." Wang Judao. Now it's just an idea. He doesn't know much about the situation in Huachi, and he hasn't figured it out clearly.
"In addition, I will invite a few blacksmiths who can forge weapons for me, and I will go back to Wangjia Village."
…………
"If this kid is tactful, he will definitely refuse to give in." Ouyang Xiu said.
The boy he mentioned was Wang Ju.
Wang Ju obscenely opposed San Ding's sect, which made Han Qi dislike and Ouyang Xiu dislike. Who made it the Secretariat of the Central Committee who initiated San Ding's sect first? In short, not only Ouyang Xiu and Han Qi, but many scholars and officials did not like Wang Ju.
Ouyang Xiu was too fierce, but one killed someone with weapons and the other hit him with a pen. What was behind him was what the literati did.
Second, if you don’t have to be stable, you can be restless, but you are not yet at restless.
The third is this military matter.
That's why this mission was obtained.
Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu should not be too clear about what they can do when they go to Huachi County.
Of course, Zhao Xu was not very clear at this time, but instead thought that this mission was good. Didn’t Wang Ju say that it was not without talents, but talent was useless. This is the heroic place where Wang Ju can play...
Han Qi knew that Huachi County was a nameless one. Almost half of the Han people fled to the rear, and two-thirds fled to Anhua County, where Qingzhou Prefecture City is located, or Lepan County, the rear county of Huachi. The rest fled to the rear. There were not many Han people left, either Qiang people and the foreign people of various tribes. But the foreign people have foreign laws, how to govern it?
Or just military camps, how can those soldiers convince a young man?
If he is smart enough, he will refuse to be granted. This is normal in the Song Dynasty. For example, if Xia Shu is asked to send a mission to Khitan, Xia Shu will not go. Wang Ju really doesn't go, and the court is really in no way. He is also the eighth in the second grade, so he has to give Wang Ju an order.
Han Qi smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Ouyang may not be. That kid is very clever and weird, maybe he is sure."
Of course, this is a small episode for them and a small lesson for Wang Ju, and there is nothing else.
What they care about is the current situation.
According to statistics from various places, the total militias such as garrisons and archers in Hebei reached 300,000. Among them, archers accounted for nearly half. Hebei was not very peaceful. Although the Liao army did not go south, the Liao people often went south to plunder, so there were some armed forces in various places. This is also essential. Hebei's terrain was flat. Although the two countries were in alliance, if they were not careful, what if the Liao army went south?
This number is not big.
The key is Shaanxi, and the statistics of various troops in Shaanxi reached an astonishing 450,000!
There are only tens of thousands of real bans, and I can’t get more. There are more than 200,000 bans in Hebei and Hedong, more than 100,000 bans in Shaanxi, as well as Jinghu South Road, Bashu and Lingnan all must have bans to guard. Should the capital guards be guarded?
All the rest are all kinds of foreign soldiers, Pochet army, wing army, and volunteers, now called Brave Army or others, as well as archers and tyrants.
More than one million young people, 300,000 various troops, and more than one hundred thousand servants in front of the yamen... were more serious than Wang Ju imagined.
Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu, and Zeng Gongliang are not fools, and Zeng Gongliang also wrote a book called "The General Essence of Wu Jing". They also saw the problems that Sima Guang saw. However, their financial resources were limited, and the main areas of disaster were Qinfeng Road and Qinzhou, and Huanqing Road and Qingzhou.
The victims of Qinzhou were the Fan, "not my race". In addition, the invading people were mainly Yu Zang Huama and other Fans in the Xijuncheng area that defected to the Western Xia. The number of Xixia troops was very small, one was to plunder the population and wealth, and the other was to vote for the letter of fame. This harm was limited. Huanqing was not enough, and the border was empty, so I dare not stir up.
Therefore, the focus was placed on Jingyuan, and both sides could support it. I issued an edict to set the charity of the Jingyuan Road as the brave army, and to serve third-class soldiers, pay 500 to 1,000 yuan a month, and do not organize a camp, and go to Weizhou to train every quarter. Why go to Weizhou? First, train troops, and second, practice the ability to travel long distances. This kind of long-distance training makes it easier to organize the army.
The purpose is also good, but what can I do with 500 to 1,000 yuan? There is also a deduction.
The lower part complains, the upper part complains, the lower part complains about the poor treatment, and the upper part complains about the empty treasury.
So with this conversation between Zhao Shu and Han Qi, Zhao Shu asked: "What is the Golden Valley in the World?"
Han Qi responded one by one.
Zhao Shu asked: "Why is the cost of redundant soldiers equal to that of the past?"
Han Qi was speechless, old man, three Dings and one, how can I not be redundant? I only talked about the pilot project, you should do a full implementation. Therefore, there was no answer. Ouyang Xiu replied on the side: "Since the Western Xia plunder, border ministers have been widely garrisoned. Since the number of troops was increased, the annual fee will be greater."
Zhao Shu was not easy to say, and San Ding Thorn Yi also had his own fault, so he said, "The ancestors are so arrogant, and there are still stubborn people."
Han Qi said vaguely: "The country intends to calm the people, so it shows the general and embraces it."
This matter has passed, but it cannot be pursued. Why is this the prime minister’s mistake? Don’t blame Zhao Shu. Over the past year, 90% of the national government has been decided by him and Ouyang Xiu and Zeng Gongliang, and it has nothing to do with Zhao Shu.
This forced Han Qi to further compromise with Zhao Shu...
Zhao Shu began to do another thing, asking the ministers to discuss his father Zhao Yunrang's title. Sima Guang immediately wrote a letter of discussion, but said nothing. According to the "Etiquette", Zhao Yunrang was King Pu'anyi, Zhao Yunrang's wife was the wife of Qiao State or Xiang State, and his biological mother was the monarch of Xianyou County.
Seeing that Zhao Shu was unhappy, Wang Gui said that he would give in and respect Zhao Yunrang as the emperor's uncle.
Mr. Lu said that Zhenzong used Taizu as the emperor, and that was Taizu became the emperor, and King Pu could not be added.
Huang Bokao, let’s dream, Zhao Shu had a calm face and didn’t speak. Someone understood, and He Zhongshu said that according to the story of Xuan Guangwu in the Han Dynasty, his father should be called Huangkao.
This is good. Zhao Shu asked Han Qi to write the edict according to He Zhongshu's opinion, and Han Qi was preparing to write it.
When Mrs. Cao heard this, she became anxious. Zhao Yunrang made the imperial examination. Where did my husband go? She personally wrote a letter and asked Han Qi.
Fan Zhen said a fair word. Guangwu respected his father and did the imperial examination, but it was equivalent to a world that was hit by naked hands. Can it be compared with Zhao Zhen’s choice of Zhao Shu as the imperial heir? Emperor Xuan of Han was that Emperor Zhao of Han had no son, and Huo Guang chose Liu Bingji as the king, but Liu Bingji was unjust and asked Huo Guang to abolish it. Only then did he support Emperor Xuan of Han to take the throne. Moreover, Emperor Xuan of Han was originally the grandson of the deposed crown prince. Can Zhao Shu compare this form with Emperor Xuan of Han?
After seeing the report, Zhao Shu deliberately summoned Fan Zhen and scolded him angrily.
Everyone finally realized that this good emperor was a jealous wolf. Although everyone was dissatisfied, Zhao Shu was the emperor in the end, so they wrote letters to advise him that we should not be King Pu Anyi, so we should give a royal uncle as Wang Gui said.
The Puyi dispute begins.
But only one person can see clearly, Fu Bi.
He went home to mourn. According to the original system of the Song Dynasty, Fu Bi would be the Privy Councilor after he returned. Han Qi took advantage of Fu Bi's absence and emptied the power of the Western Palace.
Just like the three Dings, the Western Palace cannot interfere. Now this is a big deal. Bastard Han Qi and Bastard Zhao Shu, I'd better quit, so I asked to quit because of my illness. One, two, and three, and more than twenty words have been put on...
