Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 274-Ambition
"I'm going to serialize it on the Da Song Daily." Zhang Qingfeng said to Han Yuzhou: "If the Da Song Daily needs it, it can also be serialized at the same time as the Da Song Daily."

"Haha, then I will guide your thoughts." Han Yuzhou said to Zhang Qingfeng: "You should discuss this matter with the housekeeper in my house. It is best to publish two newspapers at the same time, lest the Da Song Newspaper snatch yours. In front of Da Song Daily."

Next, Zhang Qingfeng and Han Tuozhou had another conversation, and then they left.

After Zhang Qingfeng left the prime minister's mansion, he immediately entered the palace.

When his novel was written, it was naturally for Zhao Kuo's purpose. Otherwise, if Zhao Kuo knew that he had written a novel and didn't show it to him, he might think what he would think.

Fortunately, when Zhang Qingfeng was writing "The Complete Biography of Yue Shuo", he had already typed and printed the content he wrote.

After he entered the palace, he visited all the nobles in the palace, and each of them gave a set of Shuo Yue Quan Zhuan.

"Empress, congratulations."

On this day, in Yang Guizhi's palace, Zhang Qingfeng congratulated Yang Guizhi.

It has been confirmed in the palace that in a few days, Zhao Kuo will confer Yang Guizhi as queen.

"Yang Aiqing, the Ai family is not yet the queen, so you must not gossip around, it will make people listen to it." Yang Guizhi said to Zhang Qingfeng.

Just from the irrepressible smile on the corner of her mouth, Zhang Qingfeng could see how happy she was at this moment.

"It's a matter of time before the empress's mother's ceremony. On the day of the canonization ceremony, I must draw the empress beautifully." Zhang Qingfeng flattered Yang Guizhi.

"Hehe, then I'll have to thank Yang Aiqing." Yang Guizhi smiled at Zhang Qingfeng.

"I will go all out." Zhang Qingfeng also said with a smile.

Looking at the woman with a kind smile in front of him, Zhang Qingfeng couldn't imagine that this was the woman who killed Han Tuozhou a few years later and controlled the power of the court for decades.

Fortunately, no matter what the ending is, he has a good relationship with the 40-year-old woman in front of him.

"Yang Aiqing, come and take a look. This is the painting that Ai's family painted in the past two days, but it's just that Ai's family can't draw as well as you." Yang Guizhi asked a court lady to bring a painting and said to Zhang Qingfeng.

Under the guidance of Zhang Qingfeng, Yang Guizhi has already learned the realistic painting method, but she can only be regarded as a student at best, and she will have to work hard for more than ten years to become a teacher.

"Empress, your painting is already pretty good. As long as you practice more in the future, your painting skills will get better and better." Zhang Qingfeng looked at Yang Guizhi's painting and said to Yang Guizhi.

At this moment, there was a sound of familiar footsteps outside the palace gate.

Hearing the familiar footsteps, Zhang Qingfeng knew that Zhao Kuo should be here.

Zhang Qingfeng turned his head to look towards the entrance of the hall, and sure enough, he saw Zhao Zhanzhang coming.

Zhao Kuo was surrounded by a group of guards, eunuchs and court ladies.

"Yang Aiqing, you're still here, that's great, I need you." Zhao Kuo said to Zhang Qingfeng as soon as he came in.

"I've met the official family." Zhang Qingfeng bowed quickly when he saw Zhao Kuo.

"Ai Qing Ping Shen." Zhao Kuan said to Zhang Qingfeng: "Ai Qing, is it true that what you wrote about the Yue Family Army's military training methods in the biography of Yue Quan is true?"

"This..." Zhang Qingfeng was surprised, he didn't expect that Zhao Kuo came to him to ask this.

"Back to the official's house, this is naturally true. This is the art of war that I obtained from General Yue's descendants, and then I wrote it into the novel." Zhang Qingfeng replied.

"Great, Yang Aiqing, do you think that if the imperial court trains troops according to Yue Wumu's military training methods, it can train an army as strong as the Yue Family Army?" Zhao Kuan asked Zhang Qingfeng.

"This... I'm afraid I can't." Zhang Qingfeng shook his head and said. "Officials, the main reason why General Yue's Yue Family Army is strong is because of General Yue's presence. Without General Yue, the Yue Family Army quickly disbanded. This shows that not everyone can train the Yue Family Army."

"Here, isn't it possible to train troops according to Yue Wumu's side, can't they train a strong army?" Zhao Kuo asked.

"The officials and the Yue Army's food supply is several times that of the ordinary army. If the officials want to train the Yue Army, they must improve the military's treatment. This is one of them."

"And our Great Song Dynasty has a serious oversupply of soldiers. If one army is treated several times more than other troops, it will cause other troops to ask the court to increase the sound. It will seriously drag down the government's finances, and the consequences will be very serious."

Zhang Qingfeng said: "The main reason why the Yue Family Army has a strong fighting power is that the Yue Family Army is composed of rebels who spontaneously fight against the Jin soldiers. .”

"In addition, most of the food for the Yue Family Army is raised by the Yue Family Army through business, so even if other troops know that the Yue Family Army is paid very well, they can't blame the court."

Finally, Zhang Qingfeng said: "If the imperial court wants to train new troops, it will be different. Other armies will definitely ask the imperial court to give them the same treatment. Doing so will only drag down the imperial court's finances."

Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words, Zhao Kuo fell silent.

It is recorded in history books that Zhao Kuo was a very mediocre emperor. He has been in power for more than 30 years and has never made any political achievements.

But no one may know that before Han Tuozhou's Northern Expedition failed, he was also full of ambitions.

He also thought about regaining his territory. He was not willing to live in inaction all his life, let alone the Song Dynasty to surrender to the Kingdom of Jin.Therefore, he supported Han Yuzhou, the main militant faction, and supported him if he wanted to go to the Northern Expedition.

However, the failure of the Kaixi Northern Expedition completely extinguished the ambition of a king.

As a result, Zhao Kuo began to be content with being ordinary, and just wanted to live a good life. Even if the government was controlled by the harem and powerful ministers, what he did was just ignore it.

Seeing Zhao Kuo's appearance, Zhang Qingfeng couldn't bear it.

He said to Zhao Kuo: "Officials, the current situation in Song Dynasty is not that training one or two strong troops can turn the tide."

"I have a suggestion. I wonder if the officials want to hear it?" Zhang Qingfeng asked Zhao Kuo.

"What does Yang Aiqing want to say? Tell me." Zhao Kuo said to Zhang Qingfeng.

"The officials want to hear it, so please turn away from the screen." Zhang Qingfeng said.

"You guys go out." Zhao Kuo said to the eunuch and maid in the palace.

Soon, everyone in the hall retreated, except for Zhang Qingfeng and Zhao Kuo, only Yang Guizhi, the future queen, remained.

After seeing that everyone had left, Zhang Qingfeng said to Zhao Kuo: "Officials, my Great Song Dynasty seems to be rich now, but it has reached a very critical stage. Conflicts between the people, court officials, landlords and gentry, and ordinary people are constantly going on. If the accumulation is not dealt with in time, it may not be long before an unprecedented uprising will break out."

Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words, Zhao Kuo did not refute.

Anyone with insight can see that the Song Dynasty is dilapidated at this time. Isn't Zhao Kuo's decree to cut taxes every year because he is afraid that the officials will force the people to rebel.

Eight years ago, when Song Guangzong was in power, because he was very fatuous, the court was unstable.

At that time, there was a rumor that the Jin soldiers were coming, and the people in Lin'an packed up their things and fled. It can be seen that many people thought that the Song Dynasty was about to end.

If Song Guangzong's grandmother hadn't stood up and forced Song Guangzong to abdicate and make Zhao Kuo the emperor, what would the Song Dynasty be like now.

If Zhao Kuo was that kind of powerful emperor, Zhang Qingfeng would never dare to say a bad word about Song Dynasty, and would only say something flattering.

Now, relying on some friendship with Zhao Kuo, he continued to say to Zhao Kuo: "Guan family, the biggest crisis in the Song Dynasty now is the serious land annexation and the huge gap between the rich and the poor.

Land annexation caused many people to have no land, and it also left many people without enough food. "

"The gap between the rich and the poor is too great, causing the common people to hate the rich and the officials and even the imperial court very much."

"Some young people in common people's families had no choice but to join the army when they didn't have enough to eat. The main reason was to make a living and lighten the burden on their families. Even so, the court repeatedly deducted their military pay, causing the entire country to Song Kong has an army of millions but has no combat effectiveness."

"Now, if the court does not take some rescue measures, the situation will become increasingly irreversible as time goes by. I have a way to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people without causing too much opposition. "

PS: I recommend a book "I'm Really a Faint Lord", which is very good, and I have already read it.
