In this case, then Zhao Sheng would no longer be polite, and directly sent out all four of his own soldiers.

"Yuanze, Shouweng, I spent a lot of effort to build the army in your hands. You know how much energy and financial resources you have spent. You have done a good job in suppressing bandits for a while, but this is not the same as the previous one. The battlefield is still different. Elite soldiers and strong generals are tempered by fighting on the battlefield. What I want is a soldier who can fight a hundred battles, an elite who will win the first battle with me."

"This time the battle between the border and the Liao Kingdom has been instructed by me not only to win a big victory, but also to train troops. You have grown up with me since you were young, so you should know what I expect from you."

Zhong Yi and Wang Yu looked at each other, and their eyes were also full of ambitions. They naturally knew the ambition of the officials or the group of them since childhood, to restore the Han family in the Han and Tang Dynasties.

"I will never let the officials down!" Zhong Yi and Wang Yu saluted together.

"Go!"

"promise!"

Zhao Sheng watched the two leave, then turned to Cao Hua and said, "Look at the grain and grass. If anyone who doesn't have eyes dares to reach out, I will make their family no longer have to eat."

"No!" Cao Hua is no longer in charge of Zhao Sheng's daily affairs, and Zheng Yong will be in charge of these matters. He was also familiar with serving Zhao Zhen before.Second, Cao Hua's loyalty and ability Zhao Sheng can't be overestimated.

So Zhao Sheng handed over the secret spy department he had just established to Cao Hua. As a superior, Zhao Sheng could give his subjects the greatest trust, but at the same time he knew that the thing that could not stand the test the most was the human heart.

This secret agent is his defense, and it is also another knife he puts on the heads of civil servants and generals.

Cao Hua naturally also knows the importance of the secret spy department. He is an internal servant. I am afraid that doing such a job will attract more criticism, but he does not care. The official is the only person he is loyal to in his life, and he has been with the official since he was a child. Grow up together and be no less affected than others.

Zhong Yi and Wang Yu want to make contributions on the battlefield,

Fu Shaolong and Di Jian have already participated in the imperial examination, hoping to make some achievements in the court in the future.He can't take these roads, so the secret agent who is in charge of the government now is also an opportunity for him.

Although the secret spy department has just been established, it was actually established secretly when Zhao Sheng was still the prince, and now it is only brought to the surface.

Zhao Sheng is aware of the urgency of these officials, the military rations must be withheld, and half of them can be sent to the border after being exploited layer by layer. However, these unspoken rules do not apply to him.But in order to be more reasonable when doing it, Zhao Sheng also sent a lot of military pay and rations in his own name.

He promised that he would be brave enough to touch his things, after all, what he gave was much better than what the Privy Council allocated.At that time, a crime of embezzlement of Mo's gift will be able to send them all to where they should go.

Anyway, the phenomenon of redundant officials in the Song Dynasty was serious, and everything was lacking, but there was no shortage of officials.

Naturally, Cao Hua could understand Zhao Sheng's meaning a little or two, which is to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys. In the words of the officials, these officials are all reincarnated spinning tops.

The major events of the country are sacrifices and military affairs. War is extremely important to any country.As the emperor, it is impossible for Zhao Sheng to conquest himself.But the focus on the border cannot be less.He repeatedly emphasized in the court that the military pay of the frontier troops must never be in arrears.

If anyone wants to use military pay, he will not let go of military rations easily.

He has let it go, if some people are confused, then Zhao Sheng can also tell them what the Wrath of the Son of Heaven is, laying down millions of corpses.

In the second year of Taiping, on the ninth day of the seventh month, it is auspicious and suitable for marriage.

In the Chongzheng Hall, the civil and military orders of the Manchu Dynasty participated in the canonization ceremony of Empress Fu together.Compared with Empress Cao's canonization ceremony, Fu's canonization ceremony is much more grand.

Zhao Sheng really didn't have much time to ask these questions, these were all prepared by Empress Dowager Cao.The specifications and so on are all decided by the Empress Dowager Cao.Even when he knew about it, he wondered why the Empress Dowager Cao made it so grand.

What made him even more unexpected was that the courtiers didn't say anything about this costly canonization ceremony.You must know that his father wanted to hold a higher-standard funeral for a concubine in his later years, but was rejected by the ministers on the grounds that the expenses were more extensive and the funds were empty.

In fact, what Zhao Sheng didn't know was that it wasn't that no one was impeaching this matter, but that it was suppressed by Wang Anshi and the others.

The reason? It's because they found that the treasury now has more money.This is too surprising. You must know that the state treasury has been empty for a year or two.

They are all from the imperial examinations, and they still don't understand these economic policies, but no matter how they don't understand, they know that an empty treasury is not a good thing.

Now that the treasury suddenly had surplus money, they were really surprised, so a few lords went to check, and found that most of the increased tax money came from Qilin City or was related to Qilin City.

This really surprised the ministers, and then they remembered that the officials had told them before that the construction of Qilin City was good for the country's finances.They didn't believe it very much before, but now that the truth is there, although their faces hurt, they are all people who care about their family and country, so they are happy in their hearts.

Of course, they were a little bit ashamed after being happy. As the cabinet, although the officials have been tough since they took the throne, the affairs in the court have given them great rights and trust, allowing them to do things freely.Sometimes the officials will take the responsibility on themselves, just to give them shelter.But so many of them are powerless to deal with the problem of fiscal emptiness.

It is still necessary for the officials to find a way to solve it themselves, how can they not be ashamed.

So this time the official wedding, although the specifications were a little higher and the cost was a little more, they also suppressed the ties of other courtiers.I just hope that the official family will have a happy marriage.

Zhao Sheng didn't know there was another one, but he was relaxed without those long-winded speeches.

To be honest, it wasn't the first time Zhao Sheng became an emperor, but the emperors of the Song Dynasty were really speechless. These scholar-bureaucrats simply cared about everything, even if he ate more good food, he would still babble.

Zhao Sheng has already practiced the filter skills of "You can read as you like, the breeze blows the hills, you can say whatever you say, and the bright moon shines on the river".

Empress Fu was born in a famous family, and there have been several empresses in her family. Emperor Taizong's second wife was also a girl from the Fu family.So this queen was carefully selected by his father for him.

The emperor and empress got married, Zhao Sheng only had to attend one wedding night in the bridal chamber.Empress Fu looks good. When Zhao Zhen married Empress Cao himself, the ministers felt that Empress Cao was 'ugly enough to confuse the emperor'.So he married the ugly Empress Cao.

When it came to his son, Zhao Zhen chose a queen with good looks very emotionally.It's just that Zhao Sheng didn't inherit his face control attributes.For the queen, his request is only suitable.

Therefore, the evaluation of the new queen will still take time to see people's hearts.

However, the respect Zhao Sheng deserved was given to Empress Fu. His harem only has two or three kittens, and he has no plans to expand the harem recently. Fu only needs to take good care of the empress dowager and a few princesses.

On the contrary, Empress Dowager Cao, Concubine Miao, and even Xining hoped that Empress Fu would give birth to a prince to Zhao Sheng as soon as possible.Safe and secure the court and the world.

Song and Liao border, Youzhou

"As you can see, the new young soldiers are much better than us in terms of food and supplies."

"You just stare at these and don't look at their weapons and horses. Which one is not the best? In my opinion, our general's horses are no better than those of their commanders." The Xiangjun from Youzhou said in a sour tone. sour.

"You don't have to be sour. Look at the amount of training they have. There is no rest from morning to night. The one who provoked him before was just bruised and swollen."

"That's not what I said. If we had that kind of treatment, then I would also like to train like that. Look at what they eat, at least one meal a day. Everyone is half as strong as us."

"There is nothing comparable to this. He is an official who is close to the army. Our official is famous for making money. It is all the official's own money. How to use it and whoever it is used for is the official's own. Decide."

"Do you think the officials are dissatisfied with Guochao's army by specially training such elites?" Thinking of the ten defeats in the previous ten battles, this Xiang army also felt ashamed.

"No way, haven't we always been like this. General Cao is already considered powerful, and we have never been afraid of fighting the Liao people."

"I used to think so too, but..."

"You can't blame us. We are not those young soldiers. We are supported by officials. Everything is the best. We are all soldiers from the imperial court, and the difference is too great."

"But we can't blame the officials. I heard that the officials also rewarded us with a lot of things this time, but we didn't receive them."

"How did you know?"

"It's not a secret. Those pro-military people know that every night they have people who teach literacy, talk about some tactics, and some officials' orders. Whatever the officials reward them, the officials will know everything. Tell them. Everyone gets it."

"so good!"

Several Xiang soldiers showed envy. They were not only envious of those things, but also envious of the attention they paid.The Great Song Dynasty valued literature over martial arts, and these low-level soldiers had no status.Many of them were caused by disasters at home and were incorporated into the Xiang Army to make a living.It's just not starving to death.

General Cao is considered a good general, and their military salary can still be paid.In many places, the military pay of the Xiang army is almost nothing.

Several Xiang soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, and they didn't dare to ask about the rewards given to them by the officials. They just hoped that the people above would have a conscience and give them a few good meals.
