When he got up the next day, Bian Guan took his small hunting knife and went to Wang Yanbi to show off.

Su Youbian was holding the colander and wandering around: "Give me the colander, uncle, how good you are."

Su Song immediately saw the thing on the colander's wrist: "What is that? Amber? Why is it so color?"

Su You was very proud: "This is a piece of bone taken out from the throat of a herring. Isn't it beautiful? It is said to have the effect of eliminating fright in children. It is called Yujingshi."

Su Song was surprised: "Is there any stone inside the fish?"

Su You said: "It's not surprising. Big Stone Head and Little Stone Head, these two kinds of sea fish are named because they have a small stone inside their heads."

"Actually, these are the bones in the body of the fish, but if you concoct this bone from the big herring, will it be effective?"

Su Song put down his chopsticks: "I have to write it down in my notes."

After Su Song left, Su You looked at Su Shi who came in with a volume of books: "Come to the colander, let's wave to brother Zizhan..."

The New Year of the third year of Yuanfeng came quietly.

In spring, the first month of the year, on the first day of the lunar month, the Empress Dowager Yi Tai was at the funeral and did not pay attention to the court.

Jiazi, the ceremonial court presented the posthumous title of the Empress Dowager Daxing: "The Empress Dowager Daxing's nephew Renzong's mausoleum should go to the mausoleum of Taizi. The original name in the book was the Empress Dowager Daxing, and the posthumous title was Empress Cishengguangxian. Posthumous title

Baoyi should use the text 'The Treasure of the Merciful Holy Light Presented to the Queen'."

Zhao Xu followed.

In Guiyou, Xuzhou was promoted to Yingchang Prefecture, and the Kingdom of Goryeo sent envoys to pay tribute.

Ji Chou, Khotan came to pay tribute. Xin Mao, all the countries in the South China Sea came to pay tribute.

In February, on Bingwu, Zhao Xu visited the Chongzheng Hall and formally visited the court.

The first edict was to protect Su You, the great scholar of Hedian, and Tong Zhongshu's subordinate Zhang Dun, and Zhang Dun, the Hanlin scholar, to participate in political affairs.

Su You and Zhang Dun followed the rules and expressed their gratitude.

The second edict ordered Su Zhe to be the envoy of mourning, Chao Buzhi to be the deputy, and to issue guards of honor and send envoys to the Liao Kingdom.

The third edict ordered Cai Bian to be the envoy and Shao Bowen to be the deputy. He was awarded a guard of honor and sent to Japan and Korea.

At the beginning, Tan Zongyi, a student of Taixue, wrote a letter outlining seven strategies for upbringing in Taixue: one is to honor officials, the other is to be honorable, the third is to be honest and the third is to be noble, the fourth is to select long edicts, the fifth is to increase elementary schools, the sixth is to be severely punished, and the seventh is to respect teachers' careers.

Zhao Xu read what he said and thought it was feasible, and ordered Cai Jing, Bi Zhongyan, and Fan Boring to jointly enact the legislation.

Cai Jing has now completed his task: "Stealing scholars and observing the craftsmanship is the choice of the ancients in the countryside. Skills can be mastered in a day, but skills cannot be tested over the years. Now I will consider the "Zhou Guan" book to examine Binxing

It is intended that the method for selecting, inspecting, promoting and replenishing the Three Houses of the Imperial Academy is stated in the "Imperial Order of the Imperial College" and the "Ling of Learning" with 143 articles."

The fourth edict is the general order to promulgate the "Xue Ling".

One of the important aspects of this law is that science and engineering have been included in the establishment of primary school subjects.

Mathematics, science, engineering, and preliminary chemistry have been added as compulsory courses.

At the same time, physical exercise, fighting, and even eye exercises were strengthened.

On this basis, the reform of the education system began to be implemented.

In the fifth edict, Tai Jian was officially separated, and Liu Cha, the censor, was reinstated to supervise the central region of Beijing.

After the separation of Taijian and Yushitai, Yushitai only had the power of supervision. According to the principle of giving a stick to a sweet date, the scope of the supervisory power was expanded under Su You's suggestion.

The officials who supervise are no longer limited to court officials, local officials have also been included in the supervision system, reaching as low as the county magistrate level.

Su Yuanzhen was promoted by Zhao Xu to serve as the imperial censor, which was the position that Zhao Peng overthrew Chen Zhizhong.

At the end of Ding Dynasty, Su You recommended: "I heard that the imperial court sent out middle-ranking officials as envoys, and they sent many prefectures and counties to make and buy utensils. The officials in charge followed Wangfeng's decree and called on the superintendents. They went everywhere, and the people in distant places suffered great harm.

, begging for the re-establishment of the treaty.”

Standardize government procurement behavior, establish bidding principles, manufacture and purchase equipment, and bind the government and businesses through commercial contracts.

This approach has actually been implemented in the Liangzhe Road for a long time. After the development of the South China Sea, this approach was even implemented in the South China Sea.

Because of the persistence of Su You and Lu Huiqing, the Shipping Department and the Shipping Company were determined as Party A and Party B of the commercial contract, and then the Transshipment Department supervised and adjudicated, so that the transactions between the shipping companies and the Shipping Company were guaranteed by the contract.

On the contrary, this move brought great goodwill to the Nanhai Shipping Department and the Hangming Shipping Department of the Song Dynasty. Maritime merchants from all walks of life heard the news and were attracted by this fairest contract country trade today, and came to the Song Dynasty to pan for gold.

Su You now proposes that the various municipal business offices be turned into Party A for government procurement, and merchants from the mainland of the Song Dynasty be Party B. The rights and obligations of both parties should be proportionate and equal, and the implementation should be supervised by the local government.

Zhao Xu issued an order to the Transfer Department of Liangzhe and Zhejiang Provinces to raise the actual size of the Penal and Prison Department, and first promote it in Shuzhong, Liangzhejiang Province, and Bianjing.

This was a major loosening of business in the Song Dynasty.

The previous government adopted a procurement policy, asking for what they wanted, but theoretically they could not pay for it.

The current system changes expropriation into commercial procurement, which legally protects the legitimate rights and interests of businessmen.

Although the implementation will definitely be greatly compromised, this is undoubtedly a huge improvement.

Su You doesn't insist on it. As the saying goes in science and engineering, first solve the problem if it exists, and then solve the problem whether it is good or not.

The reason why Tidian Prison Department was also involved was that the imperial court intended to use this as a basis to issue the first commercial law in the true sense of the Song Dynasty.

Commercial law emphasizes the protection of national property rights, and the status of the business class will be improved to a certain extent.

Similarly, rights and obligations are equal. If businessmen, city officials, and government officials join forces to defraud the country, the cost of crime will also increase significantly.

As soon as this edict came out, the merchants regarded it as a huge sign of virtue. They were so excited and looking for business opportunities that they flocked to the road.

In order to further stimulate consumption and support this policy, Renzi, Zhilong Tuge, and Hudang Sanbanyuan Zeng Gong wrote a book of ten thousand words, discussing the financial plan of the world.

"When the Song Dynasty flourished, the Six Saints came one after another and rested with the people. Therefore, the population was small and the wealth was sufficient."

"In Jingde, Emperor You, Zhiping Xiaozhi, will have 7.3 million households in Jingde and 1.7 million hectares of cultivated land;"

"The emperor has 1.9 million households and 2.25 million hectares of cultivated land;"

"Twelve.7 million households were managed, and 4.3 million hectares of farmland were cultivated."

"The annual income of the world, with the emperor's blessing and peace, is more than 100 million, and the annual expenses are also more than 100 million."

"There are more than 10,000 Jingde officials, more than 20,000 Huangyou officials, Zhiping and the Ministry of Justice, and more than 3,300 prefecture and county officials, for a total of 24,000 people."

"Jingdezijiao expenses are 6 million, Huangyou is 12 million, and peace is 13 million."

"If we use the two schools, the number of officials will be twice that of Jingde, and the fees for the suburbs will also be twice that of Jingde."

Zeng Gong was admitted as a Jinshi in the second year of Jiayou's reign, when he was almost forty years old. He is now sixty years old.

His official career was not smooth. After becoming a Jinshi, he worked as a foreign official for many years. After being recommended by Ouyang Xiu, he worked in the capital for nine years sorting out ancient books, and then spent twelve years abroad.

After working in this way, Zeng Gong became a writer, historian and politician in the Song Dynasty.

This time, he originally changed his name to Cangzhou, but when he passed by Bianjing, Zhao Xu asked him if he had any suggestions. Zeng Gong changed his slow-paced and submissive writing style and picked up the skill of using numbers to speak in the school of science and engineering, detailing everything.

enumerate.

Then he pointed out that the difference in the number of officials was due to the fact that during the Huangyou and Zhiping years, there were more official posts than in Jingde.

The huge difference in suburban expenses is also due to the fact that Huangyou spent more money during the Zhiping period than Jingde.

Zhao Xu was asked to implement an important method of sorting out finances - national statistics.

"Sincerely edicts, there are officials who look for records and find out their reasons. The number of envoys and the many people who have entered can be known through examination; the expenses in the suburbs and the various ways of using money can be known through examination."

However, Lao Zeng made a mistake in the end and oversimplified the solution to the problem - "Let go of what can be done, and harm what can be harmed, so that the people of the world will be like the emperor's blessing, peace and prosperity, and the use of the world,

The number of officials and the fees for the suburbs are all the same as those in Jingde, and the two save only half."

What this means is, Your Majesty, let’s lay off employees. The country’s population has grown to such a prosperous level now. If we reduce the number of official posts and everyone’s salary back to the level of fifty years ago, we can save at least half of our financial expenses.

!

Then he gave an example. I am now serving in the Sanban Courtyard. In the early days of the country, I inherited the old tradition and served as an official. The left and right palace halls were directly called the Sanban Palace. They knew everyone and acted as leaders. There was also a palace in front of the palace to carry out the decree. The Third Class Palace

The hospital establishes a leader.

Later, the number of people in the three groups increased, and they were divided into east and west groups to worship, and left and right groups were placed to serve the emperor and carry out orders.

At first, the number of officials in the third class was only 300, and it was less than 300. By the Tianxi year, it had increased to more than 4,200. Today, there are 11,690 in total, and there are another eight

A member of the Hundred and Seventy Life clan.

During the Jingde period, the number of members was ten times that at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the current number is three times that of Jingde.

In the eighth year of Xining, among the 480 newly naturalized people, there were seven, nine, five hundred and forty, four, ten, and six hundred and ninety; while for those who died and were exempted from naturalization, there were 200 people a year, sometimes

Not yet.

"Then it keeps increasing year by year and never stops."

Cut! Must cut!!

ps: Recommend the book "Mastiff Tang", Guan Shanyue, I am an old guy, the sixty leaders are so scary, it turns out that the legend of the eunuch Chang Xingen is true. There is also a book "Tianjiang Turtle", which is rolled up with money.
Chapter completed!
