Please, let me be a fool

No worse than any enlightened emperor in the past dynasties.

Even if nothing else, the courage to support the reform and dare to attack the gentry is not comparable to that of ordinary emperors.

My Majesty the Great Wei Emperor, not bad!

After a pause, Zhang Zhengming didn't continue to think about this issue, and then said: "The most urgent thing is to find a way to handle the internal affairs, especially the financial and taxation, which must be resolved."

"When the country has money, it can not only cultivate more troops, but also have the confidence to face various changes in the future."

"You are also the official secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, so you should know that the treasury is starting to make ends meet."

"Now we have to fight on two fronts, so if we want to do it, we can get more money out."

If you are not in charge of your family, you don't know the price of oil and salt.

Although Song Gongwen has been busy with reforms recently.

But he also pays close attention to the accounts in the household department from time to time, and knows what it looks like now.

In particular, Marquis Shenwu went north to go on an expedition, and he also had to prepare for the use of troops against Gaoyang, which was a huge expense.

I can still live on now, but as time goes by, I'm afraid I won't be able to afford the money soon.

Involuntarily, Song Gongwen sighed, and immediately said: "Teacher, this student is also thinking of a way, but this year's tax has not yet come up. The reform has indeed succeeded, but it is only in Longyang Mansion, and the effect has not come out."

"What the students can do now is to save a province in the province to support the old Lord Hou to go north and use troops against Gaoyang country."

After finishing speaking, his face was full of sadness, thinking that it would be quite easy for His Majesty to say a few words.

But the pressure all came to him, the Minister of the Household Department.

Just what can I do?

It's impossible to just throw your hands away.

"I also know your difficulties. After I go back, I will think of a few ways for you." Seeing this, Zhang Zhengming said.

Silver is indeed a good thing, but it is a big problem to get it.

The folks call him the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, the God of Wealth, but in reality?

You only know when you take over.

Shaking his head, Song Gongwen stopped thinking at the moment, looked at the gloomy sky outside, and said, "Thank you, teacher. Is there anything else you want to explain?"

"Not for the time being." Zhang Zhengming thought for a while, and said: "Shou Yuan took office two days ago, and he sent a letter in his own hand, saying that he is in contact with the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. leader."

"At the same time, let me tell you that regarding the reform, you will start from the Jiangnan area, and will fully cooperate with you in the dark."

Brother Shouyuan moves so fast?

Are you going to become the leader of the Jiangnan gentry?

When Song Gongwen heard the words, he was shocked immediately, a little unbelievable.

But thinking about it, it seems reasonable, the other party has been dormant for five full years.

Now if it moves in one day, it must be thunderous.

Coupled with the identity of Liangjiang patrol envoy, it would not be too difficult to achieve this step.

At the same time, he also thought, since the reform started from Jiangnan, would it be possible to make some money in this regard?

Of course, this is just an idea, and it is not a simple matter to make those gentry bleed.

"Student understands." Song Gongwen got up and said.

Zhang Zhengming also knew that it was late, so he didn't continue to explain anything immediately.

In this way, the two left the courtyard one after the other.

Now the court is about to fight on two fronts.

They still have a lot of things to do, and preparations must be made in all aspects, which is a big project.

As a cabinet bachelor, you must ensure that every step is correct, otherwise it will easily affect the overall situation.

Song Gongwen, on the other hand, drove towards the mansion in a carriage.

Although his identity now is completely different from his previous one, his life has not changed much. What happened before is the same after.

However, although the past few days were very busy and there was little time for rest, Song Gongwen still did not forget that today was his son's birthday, so he bought some gadgets on the way back.

Although the imperial guards are often stationed in the palace, they also have a few days of rest every month.

So Song Gongwen thought, now his son should come back.

Prepare to surprise each other.

only.

When he walked into the mansion, he immediately felt that the atmosphere was not right.

The gatekeepers lowered their heads and did not dare to speak, even the servants and maids inside were extremely quiet.

This made Song Gongwen a little strange. In the past, his wife attached great importance to his son's birthday, and the whole family had to be busy.

What happened today?

Immediately.

He directly grabbed a little maid and asked, "Why are you all so sad, where is Madam? And Young Master? Didn't you come back?"

"Back... back to the master, the young master came back, but half an hour ago, he left again, husband... Ma'am, you are angry." The little girl lowered her head and said weakly.

"What?" Hearing this, Song Gongwen immediately glared and said, "What's the matter, the young master has made the madam angry again?"

He couldn't help being a little puzzled, the wife had always been very tolerant during his son's birthday.

Even if the son is a bit naughty, he will choose to endure it.

Let's talk about it after the birthday first.

unless...

What a disaster...

But my son has been working in the imperial camp recently, even if he wants to cause trouble, he can't do it...

"Master, when the young master came back, he said that His Majesty had appointed him as the commander of the Liao Town, and he was about to go to the battlefield." The little maid said: "The young master prepared some clothes when he returned to the mansion this time, and left, saying to go The Ministry of War will take the documents and rush to Liao Town as soon as possible."

what?

In the battle of Gaoyang Kingdom, His Majesty appointed his son's general?

Even Song Gongwen, after hearing this sentence, couldn't help being dumbfounded.

My own son, he knows too well, he likes to talk every day, looks down on this, looks down on that.

But in fact, apart from practicing some martial arts, he hardly has any experience in the army. Even in the imperial camp, it was only last month.

Now, His Majesty wants his son to command a war between the two countries?

Although he knew about Gaoyang Kingdom, it was not a threat to Wei.

But son, you don't even have any experience.

"This..."

Song Gongwen was also in a hurry.

This is the real battlefield, it's not a joke at all.

Immediately, he thought about whether to enter the palace again and let His Majesty take back his order.

But he quickly rejected this idea, because he knew that as long as His Majesty decided, it would not change.

So it was impossible for his son to retreat.

How to do?

Song Gongwen didn't know, he wanted to cry, but after thinking about it, he finally turned his head, got into the carriage again, and rushed to the Ministry of War to see if he could catch up with his son, although he knew that the chances of doing so were not high.

And just as he expected, when he arrived at the Ministry of War, he was informed.

Because of His Majesty's order, the Ministry of War dare not neglect.

The paperwork will be finished soon.

Then Song Hongzhi took the documents and left together with the people from the Ministry of War.

Song Gongwen, who heard the news, felt helpless, knowing that it was impossible to catch up, so he could only sit beside him and sigh.

The people in the Ministry of War have nothing to do about it. After all, they are cabinet scholars and the head of the country. They have different identities, so they don't know what to say.

In the end, Lin Yuansong, Minister of the Ministry of War, also came. After seeing this scene, he immediately understood what was going on, and comforted Song Gongwen, saying that His Majesty not only appointed Song Hongzhi as the commander of Liao Town.

At the same time, in various places, he mobilized several generals with outstanding abilities to assist him.

In addition to the soldiers of Liao Town itself, as long as they don't mess around, there will be no problems.

After Song Gongwen heard the words, he was also a little relieved.

If there are these people, there is no need to worry too much.

Even though his son loves to cause trouble, at least someone is in charge.

It's just that the worry in his heart still hasn't diminished, because Liao Town is going to war after all.

But there is no way, there is nothing I can do now, I can only pray, or in my own capacity, pay more attention.

Immediately, Song Gongwen did not continue to stay in the Ministry of War, but left in a carriage. There was still a wife at home waiting for him to comfort him.

On the other side, Lin Yuansong fell into deep thought.

He had also heard of Song Hongzhi.

A famous playboy.

At first, he didn't understand the appointment either.

I feel that His Majesty treats the war between the two countries as a trifle.

But after seeing the list of several lieutenants, he was relieved. With these few people, it would definitely be enough to face Gao Yangguo.

Of course, he still had some doubts in his heart. Since His Majesty wanted to show the majesty of the Lord of the Central Plains, why did he only send Song Hongzhi? Wouldn't it be self-defeating?

But after careful thinking, Lin Yuansong understood that this was gilding Xiaoguo's uncle.

After all, as long as some results were obtained in the battle against the imperial court Gaoyang Kingdom.

The credit must belong to Song Hongzhi.

Combined with the recent days, His Majesty promoted Song Gongwen again.

This is Your Majesty, who wants to cultivate his own power in the imperial court.

But Lin Yuansong thinks this is normal.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, how could he not have his own people?

Of course, he wouldn't say these words, but he was a little worried about the court's war against Gaoyang Kingdom.

Thinking that as long as you don't lose, it's fine.

Immediately.

Lin Yuansong turned around and returned to the Ministry of War.

In the battle on the two fronts, all aspects need to be coordinated by him as a minister, and there must be no problems.

Because Song Gongwen did not get the news in advance.

Song Hongzhi still left.

He rode a horse overnight with a group of people.

Originally, no one paid attention to this matter, but on the second day, news came out from the Ministry of War that Uncle Xiaoguo was appointed by His Majesty as the commander of Liao Town, and he will soon lead the battle between the imperial court and Gaoyang Kingdom.

For a while, both the court officials and the people in the capital were talking about it.

Everyone did not understand this appointment and was skeptical.

They felt that even Gao Yangguo was just a subsidiary of Wei.

But it is also a country.

The national strength over the years is not bad.
