Chapter 764

"Wang Wushan and the others were not sure that the Liao Dynasty's military movements were directed to the land of Yan, You and Hong. This is the key point..." Gao Taotao also had a headache. Now, under such a state, no one dared to stand up and make a promise.

After all, the peace between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom has been rising for too long, and even if you want to prepare, you must be low-key. Otherwise, you may be considered a provocation. As a result, the war that should not have happened before was eventually triggered by the rash actions.

In that case, many civil and military officials from Shaanxi Province will inevitably be attacked by important officials in the court.

"Or what if my grandson sent an imperial guard to Shaanxi Road for reinforcements?" Zhao Xu thought for a while, and such an idea came up.

Gao Taotao shook his head and rejected it without thinking. "It's not appropriate, there is no sufficient reason, how can the imperial guards move lightly?"

"Then my grandson can't watch the Liao army get closer and closer to our Song Dynasty and stay indifferent?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but say a little depressedly.

"The army cannot be mobilized, but the ordnance should not matter..." At this time, Gao Taotao's face showed a bit of scheming smile. "He Wang Wushan has shared the worries of the country and has developed so many new arms, so the court can always express anything."

"You mean..." Zhao Xu raised his head and looked at Gao Taotao in confusion.

"Depend two thousand Yuanyou armors and five thousand Yuanyou crossbows, and then dispatch a batch of gunpowder weapons to Shaanxi Road, so that they can deliver them as quickly as possible." Gao Taotao narrowed his eyes and analyzed calmly.

"Wang Wushan neither asked for help from the court nor even Su Dongpo's troops on Shaanxi Road allowed him to reinforce him. This means that Wang Wushan has the ability and confidence to resist the initial attack of the Liao Kingdom."

"He made armor and arrows in large quantities, and this was also preparing for defense. Although we couldn't give him more armor tools, the Yuanyou crossbow is an excellent weapon to defend the city. There are five thousand Yuanyou crossbows and two thousand sets of Yuanyou armor. I think he should understand the difficulties of the official family."

"In addition, please tell Mr. Su personally that the troops on Shaanxi Road should be arranged as far as possible. If there are police in the three states, you can go to the rescue in time."

"This arrangement will not arouse the vigilance of the important officials in the court. Once there are police in the three states, they can at least stop the attack of the Liao Kingdom and gain enough time for our Song Dynasty to mobilize troops to reinforce Shaanxi Road."

After hearing this, Zhao Xu nodded deeply and looked at the emperor's grandmother with increasing admiration. "It turns out that you have a way, the emperor's grandmother. In this way, it will indeed relieve the worries in the grandson."

"You are concerned about the official family. If you can calm down first and think carefully, you will definitely be able to find this method." Gao Taotao smiled helplessly and shook his head.

Zhao Xu smiled and said with a hint of authenticity. "Only with the emperor's grandmother being around, the grandson realized that he had many shortcomings. I hope that the emperor's grandmother would not bother her grandson to take risks..."

"The future of the Song Dynasty depends on you. I don't know how many years the Ai family will have to live, and it will be good to help you. But in the future, I hope the officials will think twice beforehand."

Zhao Xu nodded vigorously and looked at the emperor's grandmother who looked increasingly old. Thinking of her immature performance in the past, Zhao Xu felt very guilty.

Although the emperor's grandmother is still healthy, she is an old man who is over 60 years old. The last time, if she had not met Wangwushan, it would be very likely that the emperor's grandmother would be separated from her yin and yang.

At that time, what would happen if he was immature and reckless in power in the court? Zhao Xu himself understood with his toes that at that time, he was thinking about how to kill all the important officials in the court and exiled them to remote places, so that they could suffer a lot.

Then, bring all my father's ministers back to the court and then be determined to innovate, which will surely create a prosperous era in the Song Dynasty.

However, now that I think about it, that immature idea is likely to cause turmoil between the government and the opposition in a very short time, civil and military officials attack each other in order to fight for power and profit, and vent new and old hatreds between new and old parties.

Although the people are not good, their peaceful life will be disrupted. Since Zhao Xu, who has matured, has brought in various new laws promulgated by his father, that is, Emperor Shenzong, and is carefully studying them.

While studying, I did not forget to communicate with Wang Wushan, discussing the pros and cons of the new law.

Sometimes, he even disguised himself as a disguise and went deep into the people to ask those elderly farmers, merchants, and craftsmen. In short, Zhao Xu's legs have been running around in the past few months.

Through his own judgment, Zhao Xu understood that these enterprising new laws are not all good ways to share the worries of the people. There are even some new laws that are completely a way to compete with the people for profit. In addition, there are some ways that can easily become a tool of interest in the hands of local politicians.

This made Zhao Xu realize that Mr. An Shi, indeed, some things were taken for granted. Not only some new laws have no practical value at all, but some new laws require the government's self-discipline from top to bottom to ensure smooth implementation.

Zhao Xu, who was becoming more and more rational, felt more and more under the irrational method of the new party officials who returned to Tokyo Bianliang who had re-officially and returned to Bianliang, who were seeking more and more power by changing the new laws.

The reform is to change, but we cannot change blindly. We are still young, Wang Wushan is still young, and many ministers with full vitality are still very young.

What is important is that the three states of Wangwushan are their own experimental fields, or the reform experimental fields of the Song Dynasty. Any new laws that Zhao Xu and Wangwushan finally recognized will be gradually promoted in these three states.

For example, now that the land tax is being quietly implemented in the three states, land taxes are collected on a mu, and no tax is charged at all. Because in the Song Dynasty, land annexation was more important than in the past dynasties, and the Song Dynasty had almost no control over land annexation.

It can be said that "in a town, there are eleven lands, and nineteen lands without land." Land annexation has caused a large population movement, and many people have gathered and fled again. The amount of the population is short of, the tax is lost, and the tax is lost. The financial labor service is difficult to inspect, and the tax is determined by acre, and the inspection is easy.

You should know that in the Song Dynasty, there were often the fundamental reason why people either sold them to slaves or drowned directly because of the heavy tax on the tax.

The frontiers in the Song Dynasty were already short of population. If you levy tax again, wouldn’t it make it difficult for the population of the frontiers to grow?
