I became the son of Renzong

Power is indeed delegated.Allowing officials at different levels to have the right to handle affairs at different levels during the Great Court Meeting... This is also Zhao Xi's attempt to take advantage of the opportunity of the Great Court Meeting to try to deal with government affairs with individual responsibilities.

Such a measure will not affect the Shangguan's command over the affairs of the yamen, or in other words, it can better understand the capabilities of the yamen officials.

The Dachaohui will not only publish the playbook, but also the answer to the disposal of the playbook.

The memorandum requires something to be said, which will guide officials to understand people's livelihood in a down-to-earth manner and truly deal with government affairs.

Zhao Xi knew well how the local officials of the country governed.

The ethos that Guochao has formed over the years, as long as it is in order, everything will be fine.The so-called being an official means sitting in an official position. You don't need to do anything. Even if you hang around for a few years, you can still be promoted according to the grind.

Zhao Xi's proposal of the Dachao Hui's official procedure is to spur the ministers to do things with what they want.

Participating in and discussing state affairs is the top level of power in the country. It involves all aspects of the country. Whoever has the status of participating in state affairs will not be willing to discard it.

The request of the playbook, the annual grand court meeting, will inevitably force the ministers and workers to really manage affairs and govern affairs in order to keep their positions in participating in and discussing state affairs.

One link after another, this has always been the way to promote the change of the country.

Zhao Xi believes that as long as this is implemented for a few years, the official atmosphere of the entire country will be greatly improved.

As for the first court meeting... Zhao Xi really didn't dare to have much hope.

He didn't have much hope, but he didn't dare to neglect those local officials who came to participate in the Great Court Meeting...~

What Han Qi told his son spread among the ministers within a few days... It was not necessary to keep it secret.The reason why it has not been made public is because the ministers and workers said that there is something in it, which is what it should be.

However, for the court's ministers and workers, the court's request caught them a little by surprise.

For a while, the Goulan Restaurant, which was originally bustling because of the Great Court, suddenly became deserted again.

The chief officials of the state capital are all the leaders of the state government participating in the discussion and administration of state affairs. Who wants to embarrass themselves among their colleagues if they can achieve the position of chief official of the state capital?Therefore, the leaders of the state capitals asked the subordinate officials to concentrate on writing the memorial...

During this period of time, Zhao Xi also kept meeting with his ministers, which could be regarded as a way of debriefing.

"Officials, the trial planting of cotton in Hehuang has already achieved results, and it can be widely promoted this year..."

When Wang Shao met His Majesty, he originally wanted to talk about his next step to open up trade routes in the Western Regions.As a result, the first sentence of the official interview was actually a question about cotton...

Guochao's two victories against Liaoxia created a very favorable environment for Wang Shao to open Bianhehuang.

Over the years, he has regained the attachment of hundreds of tribes, large and small, in Hehuang. In the Hehuang area, except for Qingtang City, which was stubbornly held by Tubo, most of them have been attached to the Great Song Dynasty.

Even Qingtang City, because of the interests of wool, has become dependent on Da Song.

In Wang Shao's view, it was time to recover the entire territory of Hehuang, send troops westward, open up the commercial routes in the Western Regions, and form a siege of Xixia.

It can also be regarded as completing the results described in his "Ping Rong Ce".

"Do you feel that you have reached the point of strategic encirclement of Xixia?"

Zhao Xi could see Wang Shao's thoughts.

"Zichun, there are more than 20 new troops in the country, and now they can't even garrison the border. How can we talk about expanding the territory? Some things need to be taken slowly."

"Those who want to fight against the outside world must first settle down inside. What Zhao Xianggong said is still reasonable. Although the two victories against Liao and Xia, in fact, the country does not yet have the military power to destroy the country. This is why the court asked Hehuang to The root cause is that appeasement is the main reason and suppression is supplemented."

"Three to five years...~Maybe with another three to five years of accumulation, the country will have considerable strength...~If soldiers point to the Western Regions now, I am worried that we will startle the snake."

Knowing the progress of the cotton trial, Zhao Xi is also stingy to explain to Wang Shao the established general direction of the country...~If you want to fight against the outside, you must first settle inside.

Chapter 611 Mind

Opening Bianhehuang, this is part of the fight against foreigners.

In the original history, Wang Shao was successful in opening up borders, and indeed opened up thousands of miles of territory for the Song Dynasty.

Later, due to the dispute between the old and new parties, after Sima Guang took charge of the government, he followed the kingly way and returned all of them to Xixia... This is also what Sima Guang has been criticized for.

Now, Zhao Xi is here.

The Song Dynasty ruled by Zhao Xi has fundamentally dug out the basis for sending He Huang out again.

In Zhao Xi's view, Sima Guangxiu Shi Zhixue is indeed a great talent, and his academics can be regarded as a temporary talent, but in terms of politics, Sima Guang is too impulsive and emotional, so he is really not a politician.

People like Sima Guang will hold the title of a scholar in later generations.

It's just that today's Song Dynasty has its own factors of the times.It is not realistic for Zhao Xi to change the entire national situation by himself.Only then has the status quo of pure literati serving as important ministers.

However, Zhao Xi was able to design a system to avoid the shortcomings of the original history.

For example, the old and new party struggles, after Zhao Xi ascended the throne, completely eliminated the possibility of occurrence.

First of all, Zhao Xi did not fully adopt Wang Anshi's new laws, but borrowed the name of Wang Anshi's reforms to implement all the new laws in different ways.

He needs Wang Anshi's pretext for claiming to have accumulated 30 years of fame.

Secondly, Zhao Xi did not create an atmosphere of conflict between old and new parties.Because Zhao Xi made full use of communication methods before implementing the new law, which reduced the opposition from courtiers.

Another one is that Zhao Xi is not self-willed. He did not demote opponents in order to implement the new law, and did not form a situation where the court passed it and the local government obeyed it.

What's more, because Zhao Xi adopted a gentle and gradual approach, used the method of boiling frogs in warm water, and spent more than ten or twenty years trying to win them over, the opposition to the new law could not form a faction.

This is also the fundamental reason why Wang Shao's opening of the border is faster than the original historical progress, and the progress is smooth.

In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Zhao Xi didn't pay much attention to Hehuang's strategic purpose, but instead focused on the opening of commercial routes in the Western Regions, the promotion of cotton, and the impact of wool textiles on Xixia.

How to put it, in the original history, Xixia was the last one to destroy the country among the three kingdoms of Northern Liao, Xixia, and Song Dynasty, and it also led to the fall of a generation of Tianjiao Genghis.

Zhao Xi is not a historian, so he doesn't know what the real reason is.Therefore, Zhao Xi is a little uncertain about whether to fight against Beiliao or Xixia in three to five years.

In terms of scale, whether it is the Northern Liao Dynasty or the Great Song Dynasty, even Dali is larger than Xixia.

But in terms of combat power, Zhao Xi did not attend the Battle of Yanmen in person, so it is impossible to compare Xixia and Beiliao.However, from the reflections of Di Qing, Zhong E, and Guo Kui, they all believe that the combat power of the Northern Liao Dynasty is better than that of Xixia.

Even Cao Lin and others from the old guard battalion also said the same.

Think about the territory of Xixia, the Northern Liao Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty, Huihe, Tubo... The territory of Xixia was surrounded by various countries, which made Xixia's instinct for war.

This may be the reason why Xixia Guozuo lasted for a long time.

In the original history, because of the success of Wang Shao's pioneering and the achievements of Wang Anshi's reform, there were five ways to attack Xia in the Song Dynasty, and the success was also on the verge of failure.

With the new army and firearms, Zhao Xi didn't think that Xixia would be able to stop the five-way attack.

It's just that the current military strength of the country is really not enough to destroy the country.That's why Wang Shao opened Bianhehuang with the main purpose of appeasement and supplemented by suppression.

It seems that the effect is quite good.
