I, Zhao Xu, Make My Debut as a Group with Hundreds of Officials

The emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats rule the world, and they are already tied together. If the emperor gives me the body of a fierce general and the skills of marching and fighting, I will leave the capital directly to rebel without playing politics with them. If you don't have me to eat, drink and have fun, I can do whatever you want The emperor doesn't have an army loyal to him. Why do you carry out the New Deal? Do you rely on officials who come from big landowners? Are they willing to let the emperor control the army?

If Sima Guang is mentioned, many people will label him as a conservative and a bad guy, and this is simply due to Sima Guang's governance ideas. Many people put Wang Anshi's reform on the scale of justice, because the opposing Sima Guang was placed in a corner that was despised by others. Understand the specific background at that time (the royal family's expenses were gradually becoming more and more extravagant. Song Renzong struggled to limit his desires all his life, resulting in an unloved brother and unloved wives and concubines. Rewards from the palace were secretly rewarded and let monks carry them out, for fear that the admonishment officials would know. After death, the world is like mourning a concubine. , But he is dead and cannot be seen. In comparison, Song Shenzong is too grand and hypocritical. Now the actual records of Song Shenzong have been lost, but it is conceivable why Zhezong and Huizong loved their father so much, but he must not understand etiquette, justice, history and politics. He understands "if you have breasts, you are a mother", he understands gold, silver and jewelry, and he understands the praise and worship of women in the palace. The emperor's enjoyment is nothing more than material satisfaction, the praise of his beloved woman, the respect of his family, the cautiousness of the eunuchs, the kneeling of his ministers, and the shouts of long live the whole world. The only thing the emperor can see is the people of the world. A good emperor and a bad emperor are nothing more than limiting his own desires. But being a bad emperor can actually get everything. ) Don't Shenzong know the disaster of the world? Doesn't he know that everyone in the world hates him? He knows and he doesn't care. Did the refugee picture make him wake up? No. He cried, but he didn't restrain himself. Why? All the advice in the world is useless, why? Because he has money. The young man attaches great importance to physical pleasure, and since he can obtain these, he uses the theory of war to deceive himself and his son. This is "I have a hard time too", he says this all the time. He understood very well that a wise man must be frugal. So he wants to fight to find an excuse for his desire to control. From his perspective, propriety, justice and integrity are just tools to tame others. Money is the most important thing. He forgot that he was a member of the world. Whether it was natural law or morality, they were tools for people to restrain themselves. He chose this path. Shenzong himself is a gambler. As an emperor, his reward feedback loop system has long been broken. It is hard to say who is the conservative among Sima Guang and Wang Anshi. The fundamental difference between Wang Anshi and Sima Guang is four words: increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Wang Anshi advocated reducing expenditure to relieve the financial pressure of the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, reducing expenditure. Wang Anshi advocated expanding revenue to ease fiscal balance. Many people do not understand the reasons for the financial deficit in the Northern Song Dynasty. When Zhao Kuangyin established the Northern Song Dynasty, there was no financial deficit in the Northern Song Dynasty. However, the main reason for the subsequent financial deficit was nothing more than: three redundancies. To put it simply, it means that the organization is bloated, the personnel are overflowing, and the expenses of the imperial army are huge. All of this is simply the expansion of the desires of these court officials. Including why there are redundant staff in the first place. To put it bluntly, they work less and get more money. By the way, there is a scapegoat. As for the Redundant Army, in addition to absorbing refugees, the Forbidden Army of the Northern Song Dynasty also had some children of princes and princes working in it. To put it bluntly, it was an authentic "nursing home", but it only raised these dandy children who were not doing their jobs properly. And this will inevitably lead to extremely large expenses. Coupled with the annual coins, there will be "redundant expenses". Wang Anshi's open source policy was actually to satisfy the desires of the Northern Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers by increasing income. Even if the reform was successful, it would not be able to truly change the Northern Song Dynasty's predicament. This is just like human nature. No matter how much money you give him, he will not be satisfied. On the contrary, it will arouse greater greed. The same goes for the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty. These ministers saw that such dilemmas could be solved through open source. Then they would engage in "three redundancies" more unscrupulously, and then suffer a larger deficit. Seeing that this could solve the problem, the emperor would spend even more wantonly, eventually forming a vicious circle that completely doomed the Northern Song Dynasty to the abyss. In this series of operations, the injured were innocent people. Logically speaking, Sima Guang's expenditure reduction was beneficial to the Song Dynasty and the people. On the one hand, expenditure reduction could reduce fiscal expenditures and alleviate fiscal deficits. At the same time, less expenditure means less income, which also reduces the burden on the people in disguise. But reducing expenditures was very detrimental to one type of people: the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty. Think about it, if the meal has changed from a Manchu-Han banquet to four dishes and one soup, and the salary has changed from 4,500 to 3,800, who would be willing? Sima Guang's claims also harmed Sima Guang's own interests. But it can also be seen from one perspective how big the difficulties Sima Guang's claims are facing! The first is the pressure from the emperor, princes and nobles, who will try their best to suppress Sima Guang for their own interests. Secondly, there was pressure from political opponents. On the one hand, these people also crazily suppressed Sima Guang for their own interests and political opinions. Finally, there is pressure from supporters. These supporters and even Sima Guang's family will oppose Sima Guang because his interests are harmed. The work is accomplished by hard work, but wasteful by play; success is achieved by thinking, and destroyed by casualness.

Song Huizong established three charitable institutions: Anji Fanglu Enyuan, Juyangyuan to relieve the poor, Anjifang to give out decoctions, and Luzeyuan as a cemetery for free burials. This is a great thing. However, Lu You wrote an article criticizing Song Huizong, and Hong Mai even wrote a drama for actors to perform to satirize Song Huizong. Why on earth is this? Song Huizong set a strict review system for these charities. Local officials did not dare to neglect and invested all their money in charities. As a result, the army had no food to eat and the people were depleted, so they barely met the review standards! Lu You criticized Song Huizong for not raising healthy children but raising beggars, and caring for dead bodies regardless of living people. Song Huizong also regarded the ability to run a charity organization well as a promotion criterion for officials. The magistrate of Liyang County ran a residential care home and set up a separate nursing home for men and women. This was so good that he was promoted to the third level in one fell swoop. As a result, all the local officials worked hard to hang high-end tents for the charity organizations, hire wet nurses, and some even accompanied them as maids, and gave them luxurious dinners! Song Huizong himself also felt that something was wrong with this matter. In 1109, he issued an edict saying that some states and counties held banquets and banquets when assisting the poor, and they could not do this in the future. The next year, Song Huizong issued an edict about the same thing. Ten years later, in 1120, Song Huizong issued another edict, saying that not only do you provide clothes and quilts to the rescued people, but you even buy furniture, hire wet nurses, and hire people. The soldiers in my army still don't have enough to eat! How can you do this? Song Huizong's charity work was not successful. Unfortunately, he probably didn't realize that the problem still lay with himself!

There is no need to say more about the components of the 50% reduction in the military force within half a year.

Let me show you the database I prepared for writing this book🤝🤝🤝

The protagonist's layoff operation is very familiar and reminds me of an emperor named Chongzhen. He also laid off a large number of postmen for financial reasons, and then these flexible employees chose to rebel.

I am Song Shenzong? Shenzong is the posthumous title given after death, just like Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Gaozong of Tang Dynasty and Taizu of Song Dynasty! Author, please be careful!

Why does the protagonist just solve one thing and another thing appears immediately? Or is it something particularly bad? Is the protagonist Conan?

I feel that the protagonist's qualifications are too low. He has to deal with everything himself. Every time he investigates a case or investigates something, he has to put himself at risk. The emperor in his mind should be in a high-level temple, strategizing. Now the protagonist feels like Bao Qingtian. Or like an imperial envoy, running around every day to investigate cases, rebels, black markets, and conspiracies. With this routine, just write one or two plots. The main character is always the emperor, who visits privately to investigate cases in secret. It's really boring and makes me feel like I don't want to be an emperor anymore.

Little people also have their own persistence, and little people also have their own moral bottom line. Sometimes it is the moral bottom line of the little people that becomes the moral bottom line of an era. In 1103, Song Huizong blacklisted more than 300 people including Sima Guang, Su Shi, Qin Guan, and Huang Tingjian as traitors. Song Huizong ordered that the names of these traitors be engraved on stone tablets throughout the country to tell the world. To carve the stone tablet, we had to find a stonemason. There was a stonemason named Anmin in Chang'an who received this task. The stonemason Anmin went to the local magistrate and said: I am just a commoner, and I can't understand the profound meaning of the stone tablet of the court. But like Sima Guang, everyone said he was very upright, but now the court says he is a treacherous person. I can't bear to carve his name on the stone tablet. When the local officials heard this, they were furious, and they accused the people of policing the people. The people said that I was just a common citizen, and they did not dare to refuse the tasks of the court, but I have one request! Can you please not leave my name on this stone tablet? I don't want future generations to know that I carved this stone tablet. This incident is recorded in the Shaw Documents. The book says that a stonemason also knows good and evil, right and wrong, and is much better than those scholar-bureaucrats. In the same year, a stonemason named Li Zhongning from Jiangxi also received the task of carving this stele. He also refused to carve this stele. Li Zhongning said that I was originally a poor man, because there were many people who wanted to carve the poems of Su Shi and Huang Tingjian on the stele. Only then did I have work to make ends meet. They are all my benefactors! The imperial court asked me to carve them on stone tablets as traitors. I couldn't do it. Anmin and Li Zhongning were both real stonemasons. The stone tablets they carved were unearthed in 1970 and 1972. They did not follow the crowd and dared to speak their true thoughts. They had their own persistence. The moral bottom line that little people adhered to became the moral bottom line of that era!

It's too natural to take it for granted. If it can be realized by just saying this, how is it possible?

Your book is all written as a private interview with Xi Ning incognito.

When it will be released on the shelves, when it will debut with Baiguan, I will order it all

It would be too rash for the king of a country to leave Beijing for a private visit without bringing an army with him. What if someone with ulterior motives knows your whereabouts and hires a group of bandits to intercept and kill you!

Updates are too slow. Many people will keep books or even abandon them, which affects data and recommendations. It is recommended to start with 4,000 updates per day.

It is a very good book that is "interesting to read without thinking". This is not a derogatory comment. After all, historical writing is also a large genre.

Su Dongpo in this profile needs to be changed: Brother, save me Su Che: Brother Lao, the number one prime minister

If you hurry up and seize military power, it will be of no use. Is the scholar-bureaucrat group as good as you say? Also change the law. Become a hairy

The descendants of the old lady Chai should no longer have the surname Chai. There is no longer a death-free medal for the Chai family.

Not enough to watch at all 😢

Update quickly Update quickly😭

Support me, keep up the good work, come on

I think the writing is quite good, but not many people read it. I will give you a monthly recommendation ticket to support you.
