Chapter 972 Bao Zheng's heart is moved, Wen Xiaochong pleads guilty(1/2)

"I have kept my money and food in mind. Whether it is the Political Affairs Hall or the Privy Council, no one can misappropriate it without the permission of the official!"

In Sansili, Bao Zheng's roar changed the color of the officials.

This year, the three departments finally had some surplus, and all kinds of reasons for asking for money came, and the most of them were debts from previous years.

Most of the so-called debts were planned to allocate funds, either building halls or some rewards. Bao Zheng ignored them, and those who came to Sanshi were driven out.

Of course, the officials refused to give up. Some went to their Shangguan to complain, while others submitted memorials saying that Bao Zheng was domineering. But Shangguan was silent, and the memorials were like stones sinking to the sea without any reaction.

The Song Dynasty's financial deterioration has been in some years, and now it can have surpluses, first, increase income, which is a lot of contributions. Second, it is to reduce expenditure. Whether it is the reform of the royal family or the cancellation of the rules of the disaster victims as the wing army, the Song Dynasty's finances have a chance to breathe.

Bao Zheng, the three envoys, made an indelible contribution.

If he is in charge of the three departments, don’t think about passing those unreasonable expenses. Not to mention ministers, officials must be mentally prepared to be pulled back if they want to reach out.

Seeing that the officials were all obedient, Bao Zheng was about 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 Zhao family wished they could wear a pair of pants with civil servants. They were really considerate, but in Bao Zheng's opinion, it was a waste of effort.

The most common habit of human nature is the habit of ungrateful wolves. When they get used to those unexpected rewards, they will take it for granted. If you don’t give it one day, they will be dissatisfied and clamored.

A person insists on giving a beggar one yuan every day, but suddenly one day only gives 50 cents, the beggar's reaction will probably be surprised.

“Shouldn’t it be one dollar?”

This is the human heart.

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

"Bao Xiang!"

A small official rushed over and said, "Bao Xiang, someone from your family is here to look for him."

"Didn't I say that I'm not allowed to come to Sansi?"

Bao Zheng was furious and said with a shady face when his family came, "What's the matter? If there is any mistake, you will be responsible for it!"

The servant was not panicked and said, "Alang, the little lady of the Shen family was brought with her bag."

Guoguo actually came with a bag on her back?

Bao Zheng's eyes were filled with a sharp look, "Where is Shen An?"

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

"Little beast, I really forgot my sister with my son, and I go home!"

Bao Zheng didn't even change his clothes and ran out all the way.

"What's wrong with Bao Xiang? It seems that he didn't take a leave, right?"

"I'm afraid there's something urgent at home, so stop talking. Besides, someone impeaches you, Bao Xiang will not forgive you."

Bao Zheng rushed back home and saw Guoguo and Bao Shou muttering outside. He winked at Zhao Wuwu and Aunt Chen, signaled them not to say anything, and then walked over quietly.

Bao Shou was shorter than Guoguo, and stood beside him with a look of indignation, "How could your brother be so fierce to you? If Dad was so fierce to me, I would... I would go to the kitchen to make a ball of paste and put it on the chair in his study, and wait for him to sit down... Guoguo, I tell you, go back and do it, so that your brother's roar can be known to the whole mansion."

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

Guoguo frowned and said, "You are not afraid that Mr. Bao will beat you."

Bao Shou said proudly: "Dad doesn't hit me. If he hits me, I will run away. He can't catch up..."

"But... it's not good for you."

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

"If your brother is mad at you, then mad at him." Bao Shou said with great experience: "If Dad is mad at me, I will mad back, just..."

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

Bao Shou said with a bitter face: "It's just that my father can be stern and look scary."

"I deserve it!"

Guoguo also said frowningly: "Brother didn't have any harshness before. This time... I don't know why, so I took the sword and he was so fierce. I felt wronged if my brother didn't do this before."

"Ahem!"

Bao Zheng felt that it was time to go out when he heard this.

"Bao Gong."

Guoguo smiled when she saw Bao Zheng. She probably felt that she had met someone who supported her, so she complained: "Mr. Bao, my brother was raped me before..."

"It's not worth playing with that weapon, but your brother shouldn't be cruel to you. I'm going to turn around and I'm going to blame him."

Bao Zheng touched Guoguo's head with kindness and looked back at Bao Shou and said, "Today I will give you rest, so I don't have to do my homework, so I can play with my sister."

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

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

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

Guoguo shook her head, "I'm going to wait for my brother to come."

Perhaps after leaving the house, I regretted it and thought my brother would be worried. But when I went out, I lost all my face.

So stay for a while.

Bao Zheng said, "Go to play with peace of mind. When your brother comes back, I will go and fight him. That... you are not allowed to play with weapons in the future."

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

"What?"

Bao Zheng was stunned for a moment.

"Alang, Shen Langjun is here."

Guoguo immediately hid behind Bao Zheng and said timidly: "Mr. Bao, don't be evil brother."

Bao Zheng no longer had the intention of fierce Shen An at this moment. After Shen An came in, the two exchanged glances, and then Shen An said, "Guoguo was bored and came out to play today, which made you suffer."

The child also has self-esteem. Don’t talk about her running away from home, otherwise she will be very sad.

Bao Zheng nodded, took a few steps forward, and whispered to Shen An: "What's going on?"

Shen An said, "She was curious when she heard about Yu Ji's incident, put the sword on her neck. Fortunately, she went back in time, but even so, she was scared to death."

Bao Zheng relaxed his body, "It's scary enough, but... don't be too fierce for the child, it's not good."

Shen An glanced at Bao Shou and said, "It's not a good thing, but Bao Gong, Bao Shou will not be able to continue like this!"

Bao Zheng rarely beats his son, and he beats him so few times that he can be called spoiled.

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 turned dark and said, "How many years can I live? Bao Shou is so smart. If I die in the future, you can take care of me."

This is a matter of never admitting your mistake!

Chen An had no choice but to change the topic, "Bao Gong, who would the family of the Northbound officials want to take charge of the general?"

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 wants to go to the north, so Zhao Shu should give this face.

Chen An whispered: "I think you should fight for this matter, after all... this is an opportunity to make a contribution!"

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

"Bao Gong, this is not a row of fruits and fruits!"

"Brother, I'm here."

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

Chen An wanted to glar at her, but when he saw this timid smile, his heart immediately softened and said, "Go and have fun, brother will pick you up later."

Did you forgive me?

Guoguo was happy in her heart and 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.

"This trip north was mainly to deter and restrain the Liao people, and it was impossible for the Liao people to devote their efforts to deal with the Xixia people."

Chen An whispered: "Last time in the Prefecture, the Liao people were ambushing, so it was not a head-on collision. This time it was different. The Song Dynasty stationed troops in the north... Bao Gong, think about it, when did the Song Dynasty become so tough after Emperor Taizong's northern expedition? Is there any?"

Bao Zheng shook his head, his face slightly red.

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

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

Everyone has given up over the years and feels that maintaining the current situation is victory.

But who would have thought that it would be possible for the Song Dynasty to confront the Liao people not long after.

Such years make people's blood thrill.

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

Hot blood!
