Great Song Dynasty Strategy: Black Hole in Yutian

"History of the Song Dynasty·Shihuo Zhi": "Since Xining, the new laws have been harsh and urgent. Most states and counties have been anxious to push for reforms, and many people have gone into exile. However, the officials and governors are too lazy to bear the burden, which often leads to death."

"Xu Zi Zhi Tong Jian·Song Ji" in the seventh year of Xining: "The new laws of the time have many shortcomings, and envoys from all walks of life are trying to cater to them in order to advance. The people are in dire straits, and the internal money is doubling every year."

"Zi Zhi Tong Jian·Tang Ji Seventy-Nine": "Quan Zhong stayed in Wei for half a year, Luo Shaowei donated 100 million, killed nearly 700,000 cattle, sheep and hogs, and bribed nearly 1 million. Comparatively, the accumulation was all gone. Although Shaowei removed his force, his strength was exhausted."

Comparatively, the accumulation was all gone. Although Shaowei removed his force, his strength was exhausted."

"Xu Zi Zhi Tong Jian Chang Bian" Volume 249 (the first month of the seventh year of Xining) "Bing Yin, the edict: 'The world is full of arrogance, and the transfer commanders are ordered to supervise the prefectures and counties to urge them to handle the affairs. If their urgings are not timely, they will be impeached.'... At that time, the regulations department mostly used severe urgency to supervise and charge various roads, and states and counties often relied on profundity as their ability to carry out the trend. The people suffered greatly."

"Song Hui Yao Collected Manuscripts·Official Officials" "In February of the seventh year of Xining, the edict was issued: 'Jingdong Road is silted up, and the Changping Department is responsible for the promotion, and the Transportation Department is not allowed to interfere.'"

Volume 336 of "History of the Song Dynasty" "The scholars of Duanming Palace knew the Yongxing Army, and the Xuanfu envoys ordered them to guard the border bravely. They only stated their shortcomings in books and did not retaliate. He begged to stay in Xijing as Yu Shitai and returned to Luo. Since then, he has never talked about anything and worked as a bookstore. He lived in Luoyang for fifteen years and compiled "Zizhi Tongjian"... At the beginning, Guang lived in Luoyang and traveled with Lu Gong, Fu Bi and Shao Yong, and was called "Luoyang Qiying".

Volume 249 of "Xuzhi Tongjian Changbian" "Yichou, Hanlin scholar Zeng Bu, Zhi Zhigao Lu Huiqing was the inspection envoy to the east and west roads of Hebei, Buxi Road, Huiqing East Road... At that time, Wang Anshi asked to build silt fields in the east of Jingdong and Hebei, based on the money stored in the treasury, Huiqing took charge of the discussion."

"The Complete Works of Su Dongpo·Shu Slips" "Zi You came from a book and talked about the siltation of Jingdong Road. He said: 'Recently, the imperial court sent envoys to build siltation fields on Jingdong Road. The superintendents were in a hurry and the people were in dire straits. One official used a white piece of paper as a coupon, which was called a "white note". Qiucheng paid. The villagers went to the market with the coupons and often burned them, and the cries shocked the country. "Brother, go to Mizhou and be careful not to kill innocent people."

Volume 249 of "Xu Zi Zhi Tong Jian Chang Bian": "Gui You, Feng Jing, who was involved in political affairs, became a bachelor of Guan Wen Palace and knew Bozhou. ... The king of Beijing disobeyed Wang Anshi by discussing things. Anshi was in charge of the dictatorship and repeatedly asked to go out, but was not allowed to go out. As a result, the speaker commented that the pacification envoy on Jingdong Road should not be used, so there was this fate."
