[Seventy-five] The first dandy in the Song Dynasty

Empress Dowager Li touched the picture scroll, it was her son, and he was looking forward with a smile, his big eyes were shining brightly, as if he saw something good, that's right, that was when Zhao Jue painted the portrait of that boy, Zhao Zhen looked up and saw Zhao Jue's appearance, and was drawn by Zhao Jue stroke by stroke.

She had to sigh that Zhao Jue's paintings were really superb, more skilled than the painters in the palace, and could capture many details.

Pang Yu said that if the camera hadn't been developed yet, his prince wouldn't have worked so hard.

Of course, Zhao Jue's painting is mostly a hobby, and copying books is his task.

Every time I read his words that the prince has to work hard to copy books, I feel distressed. How much their prince yearns for a life of ignorance, but he is forced to copy books. Pang Yu knows how much Zhao Jue's memory is. Strong, never forget to understand.

This made the boys of the old Zhao family envy and hate, but if they want to grow the brains of their little uncle (father), they won’t have to study so hard. As a result, only Zhao Jue can be incapable of learning and skill, neither reading nor learning. Practice martial arts.

He just set up an academy and vowed to train the members of the old Zhao family into talents. This is definitely revenge!

Not to mention, being forced by Zhao Jue's academy, the old Zhao family really produced a lot of talents. I was worried about what to do if the old Zhao family would produce dandies. After all, there is nothing to pursue. The royal family has done this , Do you want to rebel?

Originally, it was passed down from generation to generation, and until the titles were wiped out, there was nothing to do.

Moreover, the sons born to brother Zhao Jue are fine, they are all appointed officials, those grandsons, the right of inheritance is still far away from them, and even their father doesn't have a title yet, so they can only be dragged away to study honestly.

Those who don't have the brains to study, just practice martial arts. After graduation, they are sent to the military camp, starting as a soldier.

It has to be said that the descendants of their old Zhao family are still talented in martial arts. Even if they go to the Xiang army to be a soldier, they are still excellent. They will also teach the soldiers around them the simplest martial arts to achieve the effect of defeating the enemy.

Often the Xiang army with the descendants of the old Zhao family will become the best one in the end, and will be promoted to the imperial army.

The ultimate goal of all the Xiang troops is to become the Forbidden Army, which is not only to get promoted and get rich, but also to be honored.

The old Zhao's family used their solid military exploits to become the imperial army and stop those chattering mouths.

Zhao Jue's goal has also been achieved. He saw in his dream that all the members of the old Zhao family were raised and disabled. Otherwise, how could their Song Dynasty be weak in national strength!How could it be so miserably bullied by neighboring countries!

Although he didn't see what he looked like after his death, he can also know after thinking about it. He really copied so many books for nothing, and he has the strongest system. According to the calculation of the system, when his nephew dies, Da Song His national strength will be vented to the end, and from behind Zhao Zhen, it will become weaker.

Ugh……

After all, he is the prince of the Song Dynasty, how could he watch his country, and even the people he guarded, suffer from the flames of war.

Since he was a child, he has watched his brother, diligent and caring for the people. Apart from liking others to flatter him, there is nothing wrong with him. He used to think that the big house was crowded and wanted to expand, but this would require the people to relocate. In the end, nothing happened. Now, after Zhao Zhen succeeds to the throne, there is only one wife and one mother in the harem, so don't live too openly.

As long as you don't marry so many concubines, how can you not live with people?

Now there are fewer people living in the palace, and there are fewer court ladies and eunuchs to serve, and the eunuchs who are old and sick are even sent to the retirement village.

No one can stop the court ladies who want to go out to get married, or pass the exam to become an official. The main thing is that those useless courtiers have no skills themselves, and they don't let others stand out.

Thinking back to those who wanted to embarrass the young emperor Zhao Zhen at the beginning, there was no one who did not regret it, thinking that without the powerful Empress Liu, he could do whatever he wanted and emptied the emperor's power.

But he forgot that the emperor is young, yes, but his uncle is still there, not to mention the little uncle Zhao Jue, even a few of them are still alive, and they want to bully his cub?It also depends on whether people agree or not.

A few years have passed, and Zhao Zhen has completely mastered the government affairs, and he is very proficient in controlling them. The days of looking at the faces of courtiers are long gone, oh no, I have never seen those scumbags' faces.

Originally, Zhao Zhen had plenty of money. As long as his little uncle kept supporting him, his money bag would not be lost. If he had money, he might not be able to recruit talents?

What's more, Zhao Jue started to run an academy in his early years, so he was training talents early.

Zhao Zhen knew very well that the strength of a country mainly depends on the people. Only those stupid courtiers would think that those foolish people are easy to fool, and in the end they are the only ones who are fooled.

The common people are very clear about who treats them well and who treats them badly.

It's okay, Zhao Zhen will send people out to inspect, and specialize in private visits in micro-services, so that no one will know their identities, and go secretly. If they encounter corrupt officials and muddled officials, they will all take off their official uniforms!

Let you do nothing!

That's why it became easier for Zhao Zhen to manage those people, because many people will be very conscious.

Those who can be selected for private interviews on micro-services must have blood in their hearts and are not afraid of power.

For example, people from the old Zhao's family, and those from poor families.

Da Song is too big, and it is very difficult to visit all of them.

So every time the place is chosen randomly, as for how to choose, Zhao Jue has a coup, thinking that when he went to Yongzhou, it was just like that, Zhao Jue thought he was better than his brother.

At the very least, throwing stones can cheat!

He directly took out the throwing knife, and asked someone to draw a Kantu on the wall, so that his nephews could throw it blindfolded, wherever they threw it.

Nephews and nephews are worried...

This is the little uncle (grandfather) who is going to cheat people!

The point is, it's my own family who are still cheating!

Storm cry!

Old Zhao has a lot of family members, so he can still think of this way to use it. There is no one else. They take turns, and they can get their turn anyway, so don't worry about missing anyone.

Go down with the flying knife, and if you are lucky, go to eat delicious food and spicy food. After all, although the little uncle (father) cheated, the money he gave is very happy. If you go to those prosperous areas, you will definitely not worry about money, as long as you can spend it. If it is over, there is definitely no need to pay it back.

Zhao Jue said, don't just give pocket money to nephews and grandchildren, the king has plenty of money!

It will be miserable if you go to a poor place. If you want to eat nothing, if you go, you have to bring enough dry food, and you want to cry...

But what can they do, it's not this hand, they are all born by parents, how can there be such a difference.

Anyway, everyone is holding different throwing knives, with cloth strips of different colors tied to their tails, with their characters written on them.

Yes, these guys are also betting on who will be unlucky this year.

Zhao Jue said that he is the banker, hey!

It’s just playing around with the kids, and letting them go to Weibo for private visits is actually for their own good, so that the officials can support them in the future. If the mud can’t support the wall, then don’t bother, just be a rich idler Well, the family is not short of your food and drink.

Public money lets you go out and waste, and you dare to dislike it, just kill it!

The descendants of the old Zhao family were there to supervise, and none of them became dandies. This is thanks to the Wenshan Academy that forced all those children to go to Wenshan Academy when the late emperor was there, and even the children of the courtiers were not spared. .

In this way, there are fewer dudes in the world and more good young people with a sense of responsibility.

Compared with the Song Dynasty, it is getting better and better. The people are no longer oppressed and breathless. They can eat enough and wear warm clothes. The quality of life is gradually improving. Both men and women can be decent. work.

It can be said that the factories of Zhao Jue and Pang Yu bloomed everywhere in the Song Dynasty. Just planting cotton, it has expanded several times. There is no way. Cotton fabrics are welcomed by the people. Cotton clothes and trousers, cotton hats in winter, and cotton and linen clothes in summer , it doesn’t need to be made of all hemp, so it’s not to mention how cool and comfortable it is to wear on the body.

Cotton fabrics, especially fine cotton, are ideal for children's clothes.

The price is not expensive. Compared with silk, the price of cotton is considered cheap.

There are also those vermicelli food factories, such as cornmeal, which have a high output and can fill your stomach, because they can be stored for a longer time because they are made into vermicelli vermicelli.

Even if you can't afford rice and white noodles, cornmeal is also acceptable.

Ordinary people are usually reluctant to eat those, so cornmeal is very popular.

Since Zhao Zhen came to power, he has loved the people very much. When he first took the throne, even if he exempted the people from taxes for a year, oh, the merchants still have to collect taxes.

Businessmen are not like ordinary farmers who eat with their backs to the sky looking at the face of God, but they also give discounts to the businessmen and don't ask for all the tax money.

Of course, Zhao Zhen also pondered with Zhao Jue and the others, how to change the taxation, to develop business, and at the same time taxation must not be less.

It can also allow the imperial court to have spare money to support the people to open up wasteland. For example, if you cut down a tree on those mountains, you must go to the Yamen to get saplings to replant.

Otherwise, after all the trees are cut down, mudslides will appear in the future, and they will still be unlucky.

Neighboring countries saw how prosperous the Song Dynasty was, their eyeballs were about to pop out.

Nowadays, all the Xiang troops on the border have their own horses, and they can patrol on horses. No one can get stuck on their horses anymore, so horses are not a rare thing now. It’s worth it, sorry, Ordinary people still cannot buy at will.

The main horses are all used to distribute to the frontier army, how can they be sold casually for money, are they short of that money?

Whether it is the king of Xiangyang or the current officials, they are all masters who are not short of money, okay?

Because of the hard-won horses, the Xiang soldiers on the border can instantly transform into stable horsemen. The skills should not be too skilled. Feeding the horses, bathing them, and even delivering babies will not be a problem. , Even nailing horseshoes is a trivial matter.

Because it is not easy to come, it is particularly precious. These horses are all brought by the uncle.
