Chapter 155: Take your place
After Renzong, especially when Zhao Ji succeeded to the throne, facing the economic burden caused by the administration of officials, the court had no other good strategy, so it could only impose a law on levying violent taxes from the people. The supervisors not only "sitting for illegal officials" to "sit down and watch
"I don't care about it", and "carry out on the public and rely on the public", and even collude with the order to oppress the people. "If the people complain about a certain order, they will hold the person's words to send him to the guard; if the people complain about a certain order, they will
, then the letter was given to a certain order, which was to avenge the order." The dereliction of duty and corruption by the supervisor even faster the officials' rule, and now it is time to have to be completely cleaned up.
With Zhao Qi's support, Li Gang began to take action. He joined forces with Xu Jingheng, Zong Ze, and Chen Guoting to impeach several ministers who remained in the court. The "official family" angrily dismissed all the people. The palace was filled with solemnity and no one was allowed to do so.
If they dared to say something again, they could see that the monarch and ministers were taking a few unlucky knives. I don’t know who was going to chop down the head below...
Chen Gongfu, whose courtesy name is Guozuo, is like his name and whose courtesy name is Ruji, is indeed a good talent for assisting the country. In the third year of Zhenghe, he won the first place in the Shangshe Examination. At that time, Cai Jing reformed the imperial examination and once adopted the "Three She" method for the examination. Shangshe was
The highest-level exam, the first place is equivalent to the top scholar in the Jinshi exam. He started as a professor in Pingjiang Prefecture and became the young minister of Yingtian Prefecture. After Zhao Huan ascended the throne, he was promoted to the right censor. He was not very long and was criticized by Geng Nanzhong.
Li Gang's accomplice was demoted to the local area. After Li Gang re-in charge, he recommended the public servant and was appointed by the Empress Dowager as the Minister of the Left Secretariat.
Since entering the official career, Chen Gongfu advocated integrity and spoke frankly, and did not act according to other people's faces. When he was a professor in Pingjiang Prefecture, Zhu Xie was so red that he was blazing and his power was burning. Many officials fell in front of him, but Gongfu
He would never get along with him. When his brother died, he held a funeral. Not only did he not go to pay his condolences himself, he also taught his students not to go there.
'Prodigal Prime Minister' Li Bangyan was dismissed from office, but a few days later he was awarded the title of Dazhu again. He was "humorous" for a while, but most officials in the court dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out. Chen Gongfu wrote memorials overnight to impeach Li
The various facts and bad deeds of Bangyan's stolen country and his followers finally caused Li Bangyan and his followers to be dismissed from office. Even if they treat Li Gang with a good relationship with him, they can be impartial and upright in their hearts for the country.
When the courts were all discussing "peaceful discussions". However, he said that the ministers and officials should attach importance to "conformity, loyalty and righteousness" first and criticized the surrender factions of the court and the public.
Of course, this kind of good minister who is not formed a clique or a faction, and who is loyal to the country and is upright and upright, quickly caught Zhao Qi's eye. He knew that although such a person had a big temper, he could do it even if he said he was "stinky" and he could fight against his superiors.
However, things can be done without bias. This is the basic quality that the "Care Minister of the Song Dynasty" should have. Perhaps it will cause some trouble for yourself in the next work. However, it can ensure the fairness of the job of selecting officials.
With the new Minister of Personnel Chen Gongfu taking office, he finally drove out of the station to clean up redundant officials and officials and soldiers. Some people took the bus, but some people had to get off this trip. Chen Gongfu did not let him down.
As expected, several proposals were put on, Zhao Qi was very satisfied and immediately issued an execution. The cleaning was fully launched under the work style of Chen Gongfu's decisive work...
Zhang Shuye's performance in guarding Bianjing City and his later journey north was remarkable, and he was both loyal and righteous. He was rescued and returned to the capital during the Battle of Baoding Army, and Li Gang recommended him as the Minister of War. Zhao Qi thought that this person could be both civil and military.
He has been a grassroots local official and has been in charge of the prefecture. What is even more rare is that he has led troops to fight and has made great achievements. After the experience of traveling north, he knew the disadvantages. After summoning him correctly, Zhao Qi was very satisfied, so he
Set aside.
Later, Zhao Jie ordered Zhao Yi to be the Minister of War. Although he was an "old man" in the royal palace, he was also very capable, but he had little experience and lacked the experience of presiding over the military affairs of a great country. Even if he served as the Minister of War, he was an exception and attracted people.
He looked sideways, but he was the confidant general of the official family, and no one dared to say much.
The Ministry of Revenue is also a key department for reform this time. After the merger of the three departments, the scale can be said to be the largest department. Now the finances are scarce and the treasury is empty. The Ministry of Revenue is responsible for the important task of restoring production, collecting taxes, and managing the country's financial resources. Zhao
After thinking about it over and over again, Kazuki decided to use Chen Go as Minister of Revenue and Zhou Xingji as Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, so that the two of them could shoulder the important task of restoring the economy of the Song Dynasty.
After Zhou Xingji came to Beijing from Datong, he asked to retire and return home for retirement due to his old age, but Zhao Qi kept him. It turned out that after Zhao Qi ascended the throne, he found that the financial system of the Song Dynasty had collapsed. It seemed that the economy was highly prosperous, but it was a false prosperity.
The water inside is too great. The heavy burdens of fiscal deficits, soldiers and officials over the years are already unbearable for the Song court. In order to make up for the financial deficits, zhèng fu began to think badly.
In order to solve the fiscal deficit, the Song court began to print and issue paper money indiscriminately from the first year of Shaosheng of the Zhezong. The short-sighted behavior of drinking doves to quench thirst was that in the first year of Zhao Ji's Daguan, in just over ten years, the society was
The paper money circulated on it was forty-two times that of the Emperor Shenzong Dynasty. Later, Zhao Huan took over and made money with it. Zhao Gou also did this to raise military funds, which led to a significant depreciation of "Jiaozi" and
Severe inflation.
What the Song people would not think clearly is that their excessive printing of paper money would greatly degrade the currency value and inflation, and instead put the blame on Wang Anshi's reform. It seems that this outcome has a direct relationship with the reform.
Zhou Xingji studied this and guided the issuance of bank vouchers in the four halls of the Mansion and accumulated experience. Therefore, Zhao Qi had high hopes for him and asked him to reorganize the financial system of the Song Dynasty.
After taking office, Chen Gou recommended Zhang Que as the Transportation Commissioner of the Lianghuai River, saying that he was good at managing finances and was still referring to the interests of money and grain. It was a major tax place in the Song Dynasty, and nearly half of the fiscal revenue came from this. But this person was the Marshal's Mansion.
The man who once raised food and money for King Kang and persuaded him to ascend the throne. It was said that he was restricted from using it. It was really uneasy to let him manage the 'treasury' of the Song Dynasty. After investigation, Zhao Jie found that this person was indeed talented, so he went down.
The purpose was agreed.
Next, Zhao Qi appointed Yang Shi as the Minister of Rites and Ma Kuo as the Minister of Rites; the Minister of Justice gave Zhang Xiaochun, who had made contributions to Taiyuan, and the Minister of Works was Sima Pu, the grandson of Sima Guang, who refused to serve as the pseudo-Chu emperor, to commend his loyalty and righteousness.
.Chen Guoting was the chief censor of the censor, and Chen Dong was the attendant censor. He rebuilt six cases and six inspections, and supervised the various administrative agencies and local officials of the court.
Yang Shi recommended his fellow disciple Hu Anguo to the official family to be the priest of the Imperial College. He is also a member of Cheng Yi. He was a Jinshi and a Ph.D. in the Imperial Academy. He has a wide range of studies and has a deep study of economics, science and politics, and has in politics and academics.
The field has a great influence. With its "On Current Political Affairs", "On the Governance of the Country", and "Biography of the Lip and Autumn Biography", it laid the foundation for the "Xiang School" style that combines the study of mind and nature with the application of the world, and on the one hand, it promotes Neo-Confucianism
It has made important contributions and also provided a useful set of treasures for governing the country for the ruling class.
Although the Hunan School is also a school of rationality, it has opposed the "corrupt scholar" style since its inception; it advocates "being familiar with current affairs" and "paying attention to the economy". Hu'anguo advocates actual production labor, and advocates that scholars may as well hoe the ground to grow vegetables.
;The most important thing for a gentleman to learn is a "reality". In addition to classics and history, he must also devote himself to the real world of military and agriculture, and he has been involved in this kind of knowledge in his own works.
Therefore, in terms of the relationship between knowledge and action, the Hunan School elaborated on "knowledge and action mutual development", paying special attention to the role of "action", emphasizing "practice", that is, practice, and thinking of "knowing". This pragmatic attitude is of course very good for Zhao Zhen.
He needed a person with thoughts and ability to do things, and he immediately agreed.

The army was the capital of Zhao Jie's business and his forbidden area, so he had to hold it firmly in his hands. He originally planned to let Zong Ze serve as Minister of War, but as his current prime minister, he served as a major official.
The suspicion of demotion and use of the job will leave the words of killing the donkey, so he did not touch him. He was in a suitable position. However, according to the development of history, he has been pissed to death by Zhao Gou...
The Privy Council has four rooms as service agencies, and the three yamen incorporated are equivalent to the commands of various military branches in later generations. Zhao Lian, the Du Yuhou, was in charge. Zhao Qi appointed Zhao Meng as the commander-in-chief of the Infantry Department. This time the artillery did not have du li, but
The military commander was assigned to the Infantry Department, and Zhao Xiao was also in charge of the deputy commander; the commander of the Ma Army commander was Zhao Li; the commander of the Navy Department was the unscrupulous commander, Cheng Xishou took over; the Military Information Department was still headed by Jiang Fei; the logistics department was of course Zhao Zhi's territory
.This time, in order to improve the status of a warrior, Zhao Qi raised his positions from the fifth rank to the third rank, so as not to become a follower of civil servants.
As the last line of defense around the emperor, the Imperial City Department has a heavy responsibility. The troops are not dispatched by the Ministry of War and the Privy Council. They are divided into two squads: the Bingmaster and Jiyi Department, which are in charge of the entry and exit of the palace city, the Zhoulu guards, the opening and closing of the palace gates, and the spy on intelligence.
Now, the Guard Division and the Intelligence Department, which had been personally led by Zhao Qi, were just in the past, and were still led by Zhao Zhong and Li Jun respectively.
In this way, only Zhao Xin and Zhao Yong did not arrange the "Top Ten Generals" who followed the prince to establish the royal army. Zhao Xin is now the imperial concubine and cannot take on military positions, so he is naturally out. Zhao Yong is the second-ranked figure in the palace army and the Xijing army.
The founder made great achievements in the mansion, but unexpectedly he did not have any actual position.
At this time, everyone thought that Gao Chong, another important figure in the palace army, had been idle. He was the first commander of the Long General. After conquering Xixia, he was transferred back to Beijing and had been unknown. When the Jin army went south for the second time, he
After leading the Huyi Army to cooperate with the official family to fight a war, he quietly returned.
Just when everyone was confused, the emperor issued an order to use Gao Chong as the Southeast Punishment envoy to lead the troops south, commanding Lianghuai and Liangjiang troops to clear out the bandits who fled in the south of the Yangtze River, and quickly extinguish the bandits. Zhao Yong was appointed Lianghe Punishment envoy
