One Piece of Song Dynasty

Li Xin nodded and said, "Learn and practice at the same time. This is good. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. You must remember this sentence. Liu Yi, I will leave this matter to you."

Liu Yi bowed and said, "I obey your order."

Li Xin continued, "Ouyang Hao, you are the minister of the Ministry of Health, and Zhu Xuan, you are his deputy. The mission of the Ministry of Health is to integrate the country's medical forces, run hospitals, cooperate with the Ministry of Education to run medical schools, research medicine, research veterinary medicine, and various other... The city is clean and tidy, and King Zhu Xuan will give you another task, which is to run a military hospital and a military medical school. Both of these belong to the military establishment. Of course, I will also give you an army establishment, which means that you are now You are also a soldier. Military doctors are different from ordinary doctors. They will be on the battlefield in the future, so some skills that soldiers should have need to be trained. In the future, new recruits of both sexes will be recruited. The female soldiers recruited will be sent to your military hospital and military doctors. Academy.”

The two replied, "I understand."

Li Xin finally said, "Yan Yunfei, I leave it to you as the Salt Bank. Within half a year, you have to design a set of banknotes for me. Pay attention to anti-counterfeiting technology. The denominations of the banknotes are one dime, five cents, one yuan, and five yuan." , ten yuan, twenty yuan, fifty yuan, and one hundred yuan, and the exchange will be launched in the second half of the year.”

Yan Yunfei patted his chest and said, "I know, my lord, please just watch."

Li Xin nodded and said, "Everyone, let us work together. In five years, I hope that the entire Jiangnan will have a completely new look."

Everyone stood up and said, "I will obey the prince's will."

After everyone dispersed, Li Xin wrote a letter to Zhao Fei, asking him to come to Lin'an quickly. Li Xin had something important for him to do.

Li Xin's reform measures gradually spread to various places. The whole country was shocked for a while, and undercurrents surged in various places. However, due to Li Xin's strong repressive measures, this undercurrent has been suppressed. Even if there are occasional sparks, they are quickly extinguished. Not only that, Li Xin took this opportunity to kill a small group of people and confiscated a large area of ​​land and money.

Outside Xingzhou City on Lizhou Road, Sichuan Zhizhi Commander Zhao Kai shook his head and sighed, "Originally, when the prince took action last year, he did not take action against Lizhou Road. He never thought that they would jump out on their own now. What they didn't expect was that whether the prince was... They are very powerful both openly and secretly, and now a large number of people are unlucky."

Jie Qian agreed, "Yes, Xie also recently learned that Tianxiang Tower is the property of the prince. Tianxiang Tower can be found in various places. It is not only the prince's purse but also the prince's tool to monitor various places."

Zhao Kai nodded and said, "Tianxiang Tower has existed in various places for many years. It can be seen that the prince has put a lot of effort into today."

Wu Jie on the side frowned and said, "Master Zhao, what do you think of the prince's innovative measures?"

Zhao Kai said, "In my opinion, the prince's reform measures are an enhanced version of the Qingli New Deal. The most important ones are land, banks, and Mengyin. Let's not talk about Mengyin. The bank has cut off the cancer of private loan sharking. Even in the future, Some people were secretly lending money at usury, but no one went there because the interest rates on loans from imperial banks were very low, and the prince’s land policy was directly aimed at the Song Dynasty. You must know that this dynasty did not oppose land annexation after the founding of the country. After a hundred years, For many years, less than % of the land remained in the hands of farmers, but farmers accounted for the majority of the population in the Song Dynasty. This formed a serious contradiction. In fact, everyone knew about the issue of land, but no one I dare to mention it because it involves the interests of many people."

Wu Jie asked, "Does Mr. Zhao think the prince's innovative measures can be successful?"

Zhao Kai nodded and said, "Yes, the time chosen by the prince for reform is very good. It is at the critical moment of the Song Dynasty. The resistance to reform at this time is the smallest compared to usual, and the prince is very determined to reform. Through the actions last year and this year, it will be achieved." It can be seen that the prince will succeed in the reform at all costs, even if he kills many people."

Jie Qian joked, "It seems that Mr. Zhao supports the prince's reform."

Zhao Kai sighed and said, "It's time for the Song Dynasty to change. If it doesn't change, the country will perish. Reform to strengthen a weak country is an inevitable method for a weak country to become strong. How did Qin rise in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and finally destroyed the six countries and unified the world? Didn’t it start with Shang Yang’s reform? Even if the prince’s innovative measures also touch my interests, I will still support the prince’s reforms, because compared with the survival of the Song Dynasty, my personal interests are really very small. Only the Song Dynasty Only then can we protect our best interests."

Xie Qian and Chang Tong applauded and said, "Master Zhao said it well, I admire you."

Wu Jie bowed and said, "Mr. Zhao understands the great righteousness and Wu is moved. Please accept Wu's worship."

Zhao Kai helped Wu Jie up and said, "It doesn't have to be like this. General Wu, you and I, trying our best to keep Sichuan is our greatest contribution to the Song Dynasty."

Chang Tong, who rarely spoke at the side, asked, "Master Jie, where did the governor of the West Road Governor's Mansion come from today?"

Xie Qian shook his head and said, "I don't know either. When Xie left, he asked Xianggong Zhao. He only said he was an old man from the Western Army."

Wu Jie thought thoughtfully and said, "We have quite a few generals from the Western Army, and it can't be Qu Duan."

Zhao Kai shook his head and said, "Judging from the prince's style of doing things, he will definitely not be crooked. The people sent by the prince will definitely be able to suppress the arrogant and powerful generals of your Western Army."

While several people were talking, Chang Tong said, "Look, it's coming."

I saw a cavalry team heading towards Mianzhou. Jie Qian said, "The governor of the West Road Dudu Mansion is fine. He came with a cavalry when he came. I saw that the cavalry brought a lot of things with them. Some of them were They all use cloth."

Wu Jie sighed, "This looks like elite cavalry. The horses are all good war horses. Even the soldiers riding on the horses look very strong."

After the cavalry stopped in front of everyone, Zhai Jin dismounted and said, "Sir, Zhai Jin is the commander of this cavalry. Who is General Wu of the Wu rank?"

Wu Jie said in front of him, "Zhai is in charge, and I am Wu Jie below."

Zhai Jin nodded and said, "Okay, General Wu, accept the edict." Then Zhai Jin read the edict in public, and Wu Jie accepted the edict.

Zhao Kai and others came forward to congratulate him and said, "Congratulations, Deputy Governor Wu."

Even though he knew the result in advance, Wu Jie was still excited when he clearly received the imperial edict. After all, Wu Jie would be the number two figure in the West Route Army from now on.

After several people congratulated Wu Jie, Zhai Jin handed an imperial edict to Wu Jie and said, "Deputy Governor Wu, this is a secret edict given to you by the prince. The adults must keep it secret after knowing about it, and must not leak it. "

Wu Jie opened the imperial edict in confusion, and immediately closed it after reading it. He thought it was him, and he was not dead. Wu Jie immediately asked, "General Zhai, where is Liu Shuai?"

Zhai Jin replied, "It was in the carriage in the queue, and the horse came out."

Wu Jie said, "General Zhai will lead the way, and I will personally go to greet Liu Shuai."

Zhao Kai and others were confused when they saw Wu Jie's abnormal reaction. Wu Jie handed over the imperial edict to a few people and followed Zhai Jin to greet Liu Fa.
