Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Not long after, Zhao Ning was awakened by the sound of footsteps at the entrance of the main hall.

It was Wang Huaiji who came in.

"Officials."

"What's the matter?"

"Official Song asked to see her, and she said that the medicine you asked for was successful."

Succeeded?

"Show her in quickly."

Not long after, Song Shuyuan came in. She was very happy and said: "Officials, I recently tried it on some rabbits with wounds and infections. After a few days, the rabbits all recovered."

She held some detailed documents in her hand, which were all records of the experiment process.

Zhao Ning took it over, read it carefully, and said, "You've done a good job, but this still doesn't prove the success of the medicine."

"Why?" A question mark appeared on Song Shuyuan's head, didn't she succeed?

"We can't judge whether the rabbits recovered by themselves or rely on medicines." Zhao Ning said patiently, "And even if it is possible to rely on medicines, whether these medicines are likely to cause death, you only tried 10 rabbits, the number is too small .”

"Also, we can't make sure that the drug really enters the rabbit's body. You said that the silver needle penetrates, but we can't be sure whether it really penetrates."

Zhao Ningyue said that Song Shuyuan felt a little lost, but after all, she was an official in the palace, and she dared not express her true feelings in front of the emperor.

"Of course, there is also a certain possibility that our medicine has played a role."

"Drugs involve human life, so you must be cautious and cautious. You can go to the Imperial Medical Office more often and have a good chat with those people."

"The official teaching is correct, and the minister knows."

Seeing Song Shuyuan's exhaustion that could not be concealed, Zhao Ning comforted: "Don't worry, go back and have a good rest, things can't be done overnight."

This Song Shuyuan is also very beautiful, like a sister next door, she always exudes vitality.

This kind of girl is very attractive.

Song Shuyuan was Zhao Huan's internal minister of Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty. During the shame of Jingkang, these female officials were also captured to the north.

Now, her fate has been changed.

What Zhao Ning admires most is her attitude in doing things, she is meticulous, does not ask difficulties, and does it little by little.

"The minister knows, the officials also rested earlier, and the minister resigned."

On the third day of June, at noon, Zhao Ning finished his lunch, enjoyed the shade in the imperial garden, and fell asleep unconsciously.

He had a dream, dreaming that he was captured by Wanyan Zonghan and taken to the Kingdom of Jin, locked up in the cellar to eat dirt.

When he woke up from the dream, he broke into a cold sweat.

Wang Huaiji saw that Zhao Guan's family was awake, so he said cautiously: "Guan's family, are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

"You had a nightmare just now, I'm going to get some cool ice water to calm you down."

"No need." No matter how hot it is, Zhao Ning will not drink ice water.

Ancient ice was mined from frozen rivers during the winter, and then stored in cellar ice storage.

That thing is not sterilized, drinking it will not only make your stomach upset, but if things go on like this, you will definitely get sick.

He only drinks plain water.

Wang Huaiji said again: "Officials, all the ministers are asking to see you. I see that you are taking a nap, so I dare not disturb you."

"Go and call over."

"Yes."

Not long after, Zhao Ding, Zhang Shuye, Li Gang and Zong Ze all came.

"Officials."

"Sit all."

When everyone sat down, they saw that Zhao Guanjia seemed to have just woken up, and there was still a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

Zong Ze said: "Officials work day and night, they should pay attention to the Eucharist."

Zhao Ning washed his face with a basin of water brought by Wang Huaiji, wiped his face, and said, "Zongqing, you should pay more attention to your body. I have already called the Imperial Medical Office and I am going to send an imperial physician to accompany you."

"The official family loves him deeply, and the old officials are flattered."

Looking at Zong Ze's thin body, Zhao Ning felt a little bit unbearable.

Next, the pressure on the midline will be very high. He is worried that Zongze will be overworked after a few months as in history.

"Zongqing, remember to put your body first."

"Yes."

"Shao Zeqing's case and Wang Xun's case overlap with some businessmen. Before discussing defense strategies, have you ever thought about a question, what is the most important thing for us to win the Kingdom of Jin and regain lost ground?"

Chapter 93 How to win the hearts of the people?

Zhao Ding said: "Since the officials have already said that this is a protracted war, the most important thing is the hearts of the people. Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world."

The rest apparently agreed.

Zhao Ning said again: "Mr. Zhao is right. Those who win the hearts of the people win the world."

"It's not difficult to say this sentence. Throughout the ages, most kings know this truth."

"Even if I ask Shao Zeqing what is the most important thing in governing the world, he will answer me that the people's hearts are the most important."

After the emperor spoke, everyone fell silent.

People's hearts are indeed important, but why everyone knows that people's hearts are the most important, but they are still corrupt and exploit the common people?

Zhao Ning continued to refine the question, he said: "Why does Shao Zeqing know that the hearts of the people are important, but still fish for the common people?"

"Because in his mind, people's support is nothing more than high-sounding words used to deceive the common people."

"How many officials in the country think so?"

"Like Shao Zeqing, they use the power in their hands for personal gain. They even know that if things go on like this, the country will be in danger, but who will really care about the country and the people?"

Zhao Guanjia's words made everyone present even more silent.

All of you present are good ministers of the country with a heart in mind.

Let’s just talk about Zong Ze. In the exams, others wrote articles praising the false peace to cater to the examiners, but he denounced the bad government and stated the good medicine.

How many people can do this kind of family and country feelings that don't care about personal future?

There is also Li Gang, under the siege of the Jin army, Zhao Ji wanted to flee to the south, Li Gang bluntly said that the emperor fled to the south, and the hearts of the people would collapse.

Under such circumstances, many ministers had already fled the capital privately. How many people were there who stood up to preside over the overall situation at a critical moment like Li Gang, who was a stubborn emperor like Li Gang, and how many people were there to protect the people in the city?

For example, Zhao Ding, historically, the head of the four famous ministers in the Southern Song Dynasty, it can be said that Yue Fei was able to make the Northern Expedition in the later period, and the political situation in the Southern Song Dynasty could be stable, and it was inseparable from a minister like Zhao Ding who ruled the world.

But how many are like them?

More people enter the officialdom, but for their personal future.

The so-called one person attains the Tao and ascends to heaven is the most common in the Song Dynasty.

Countless people sharpen their heads and want to get into the officialdom, not to rule the country and the world, but to enjoy the prosperity and nourish the family.

popular sentiment?

To them, people's support is just a slogan to deceive ordinary people.

Zhao Ning continued: "I heard that in the snow-capped mountains in the north, there will be snow avalanches at a certain time."

"That's when the snow falls to a certain extent and cannot bear the weight of the snow, and an avalanche occurs."

"Before the avalanche, every snowflake that fell from the sky thought it was just a small snowflake, and it would not cause any impact when it fell."

The metaphor of Zhao Ning made them understand what Zhao Guanjia wanted to express.

Many officials think that they only take a little bit for themselves, and it will not have any impact on the huge country.

The few people were thoughtful, Zhao Ning sighed and said, "When there is an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent."

Now, there was a long silence.

Monarchs and ministers seem to be thinking about this issue.

Li Gang first broke the silence. He said: "Officials and ministers believe that virtue is the most important thing. If you choose virtuous officials and make officials love the people, you will gain the hearts of the people. If the hearts of the people are in the court, you will be able to use them for the court. Accumulate rations and troops. Fight the gold thief."

"Li Qing's words are reasonable, but there are hundreds of thousands of officials and officials in the country. Since ancient times, selecting virtuous people is a difficult task. Moreover, virtuous people may not be talented."

The struggle between virtue and ability has also been a problem for thousands of years.

Zhao Ding said: "Officials and ministers believe that in governing the country, everyone can't be a virtuous person. People have selfishness. It has been the principle since ancient times. In the current situation, the government of the Gai Dynasty has been abolished for a long time, and there are many malpractices, so that those who serve the country cannot occupy positions. , those who are greedy for life and mediocrity should be the ears!"

Then he said: "First rectify the officials."

But Zong Ze said: "The root of the country's bad government, if the bad government is not eradicated, and the officials are not visible, the treasury will be empty, the military and government will be in decline, and the mediocre will be mixed in. How can we fight against the gold thieves?"

"The minister believes that the government's bad government should be eliminated. There are four kinds of bad government: taxation, commercial law, redundant officials, and redundant soldiers."

"Cut taxes and taxes to lay off the people, establish business laws to regulate the four directions, reduce redundant officials to reduce expenditure, and reduce redundant troops to eliminate military administration. If these four things are achieved, the country will be rich and the army strong."

Zhao Ding couldn't help admiring: "Zong Xianggong is unparalleled in the country. He can command thousands of troops on horseback, and he can assist the emperor in governing the country when he enters the court."

"A certain heartfelt statement, I laughed at it."

Zhao Ning said: "Zong Qing's words are justified, and with Zhu Qing's words, I feel much more at ease in my heart."

If you want to translate this sentence of Zhao Guanjia, it roughly means: Since everyone agrees to abolish the bad government, then I will pile up the heads as high as a mountain, and there will be no worries.

With the full support of these people, the border defense will not collapse.

Then cultivate the backbone of Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, and there will be no risk of collapse if they use knives across the country in the future.

Next, Zhao Ning carefully read Zongze and Li Gang's "Hebei and Hedong defense strategies" one by one.

The main content of Zongze is as follows:

[-]. With Daming Mansion as the center, establish a military defense line five hundred miles deep from north to south.

From west to east, this military defense line has three military towns: Longde Mansion, Cizhou, and Daming Mansion.

Daming Mansion is located on the bank of the Yellow River, with developed water transportation and a large population, making it the most important of the three towns.

40. Use Jincheng in the south of Longde Mansion as the logistics base of Longde Mansion to supply Longde Mansion. Between the two sides, build [-] walled cities with a depth of [-] miles from north to south.

50. Using Xiangzhou as the logistics base of Cizhou, build [-] walled cities with a depth of [-] miles from north to south.

[-]. From Daming Mansion to the north, between Qinghe and Dezhou, establish a defense line that is hundreds of miles long to guard the solidity of the Yellow River.

800. Counting the permanent residents of each city, it involves a total population of nearly [-] million.

1000. The total cost of the first batch of investment is [-] million yuan.

The content of Li Gang is as follows:

50. Cangzhou and Yongjing Junzhou were used as the defense line, and [-] walled cities were rebuilt for the purpose of retaking Hejianfu.

[-]. With Shenzhou as the front line, restrain Zhending and Hejian.

500. It involves a total population of about [-] million people.

1000. The total cost of the first batch of investment is [-] million yuan.

The details also include the location of each city, how many soldiers and civilians need to be dispatched, how much it will cost, and how long it will take to complete the project.

These two strategies can be said to be detailed. In the past ten days, they probably haven't stopped in the capital.

One of the most important points is also mentioned. In the past, the Song Dynasty was severely overstaffed and overstaffed. The next military town was established, and the military discipline and the number of troops had to be rectified.

Zhang Shuye, who was silent all the time, said: "The government, please take a look at the new army's policies."

After Zhao Ning finished reading, he began to read Zhang Shuye's submission.

This was written by him and Zong Ze together, about the new army's establishment, designation, number of troops, military pay, logistics, and promotion mechanism.

Everything is here.

In this way, Zhao Ning finally felt more at ease.

With a specific policy theory, it is time to implement it.
