Chapter 1179: Political Discussion

In Fu Bi's eyes, Qingtang, Jinghu, and Nanhai were really unprofitable at first.

The only function is the "door lock theory" proposed by Su You.

Door locks only cost the owner money, not money.

But it can ensure the safety of the wealth in the owner's house, so it is also necessary.

Su You used this theory to deceive him into being transferred to Shaanxi. At that time, the big bosses in the court, including himself, thought that as long as Su You could defend Shaanxi from being ravaged by the Xia people, they would be able to give him a perfect score.

Not only did he defend his territory against the enemy, he also turned the door lock into a treasure trove.

In terms of political ability, although Su You was not yet twenty at the time, he had already surpassed all his predecessors who had guarded Shaanxi.

Not only did he win a complete victory on the battlefield, he also brought Shaanxi to great order, released salt and wool, and was even able to feed the capital!

With the benefits of wool, no one in the court now thinks that Hengshan Qingtang is dispensable. People like Xu Xi and others even clamored that Xixia must be eliminated and Monan must be included in the country.

Gao Zunyu was working hard in China, and his goals were self-evident.

But is Song Dynasty really ready?

Fu Bi lived a very lively life, with several stunning little lolita playing the piano and flute and singing songs, singing new lyrics by Da Su.

After making a gesture to Su You, Fu Bi asked him to drink tea: "What does Mingrun do for fun on weekdays?"

Su You smiled bitterly: "Where is the entertainment? With two devils at home, tutoring homework at night is enough."

This old man has a criminal record and likes to cultivate little stars and then give them away.

Su You was very wary of him: "Da Su wrote a letter saying that Xu Junyou, the magistrate of Huangzhou, was seriously ill. Before his death, he sent all his servants and concubines away from home. The servants and concubines left happily. None of them thought that Xu Junyou was ill.

Worry, I am willing to stay with him until he dies."

With his thoughts clearly revealed, the old man gave Su You a roll of his eyes: "Don't worry, I give you a concubine based on the person. With your wife's temperament, giving you a concubine will be a harm to others."

After he finished speaking, he added: "It's even more harmful to you."

Hey - Su You expressed his dissatisfaction: "My Wei'er has a very good temper. Why don't you believe that not accepting concubines is my noble moral character and spiritual cultivation? Do you have to blame me for being henpecked?"

Fu Bi smiled slightly: "It is human nature to admire Shao Ai because he is lustful. Maybe when you persist until you are the same age as Jie Fu and Jun Shi, everyone will believe you."

Su You didn't jump into the trap that Fu Bi cleverly set in his words: "I didn't insist on it. I just thought it was good to be like this now."

"If you want to see beauties, just go to Jiaofangsi Liyuan Theater to watch dramas. Zhou Nan's "The Green Tomb" has gained nine points of Zhaojun's essence."

Fu Bi smiled again: "Mingrun, you are careful in your words and deeds, and you are quite like me in those days. It's also good to skip the admiration of Shao Ai and go directly to the stage of admiring your wife when you have a wife, and admiring you when you are an official. Yuan

The fourth year of Feng is the first year of restructuring, and next year’s Great Court Meeting will be the result of Mingrun’s efforts, which is not bad.”

Su You waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with me. It's not certain whether I can go back by then."

Fu Bi had seen through all this a long time ago: "Set up the stage, compose the opera, and then watch others go on stage and sing the opera with their own scripts, while I hide in the corner and watch quietly, Mingrun is so talented."

"What Mr. Fu said is true." Su You smiled bitterly and shook his head: "How can I have such great ability? Isn't this looking down on the world's heroes?"

Fu Bi no longer mentioned this issue: "Based on your estimate, when will the Pingxia war begin?"

Su You said: "Before Mr. Fu left Beijing, he once advised His Majesty not to talk about military affairs for twenty years. I believe that what Mr. Fu meant was national war."

"The opinion of the Military Aircraft Department is that the Pingxia strategy focuses on eliminating Xixia's effective forces and forming substantial occupation and effective control. We should first divide the major military divisions of Xixia and Linsong, and then wait for work and defeat them one by one."

"As for when it will start, I can't predict it now. But I personally think that the Song Dynasty must be completely prepared, that is, be fully prepared both materially and psychologically. When it has to attack, it will take almost eight years."

"It just fits the point where the rich man has not said anything about war for twenty years."

Fu Bi waved his hand: "There is no need to pretend. When I said this, I did not expect that the national power of the Song Dynasty would grow so rapidly. Twenty years is a bit long."

Su You nodded: "Yes, even so, it is best to prepare for a few more years. When the telegraph network is completely built, copper-cased bullets are replaced with paper-cased bullets, the third expansion of the New Army is completed, and the Song Dynasty's logistics is completely improved.

After protection, it’s the perfect time to make progress.”

Fu Bi smiled and said, "That is unless the Xia and Liao people are both natives and stone dolls."

Su You also smiled: "Yeah, life is going to be unsatisfactory nine times out of ten. I didn't expect them to give us so much time."

"The Xia people's iron kites are now constantly achieving results, which also stimulates Liang's domineering heart."

"Coupled with the struggle for power between the ruler of Xixia and his foreign relatives, the people were in hardship and conflicts were acute. The Liang family would inevitably rely on foreign wars to divert domestic dissatisfaction."

"Now its territory has been temporarily cleared, but its conflicts have not disappeared, but have been suppressed. If the Liang family wants to stabilize their power, they will inevitably use troops against Song Dynasty. This is their only choice."

Fu Bi asked: "As far as I know, Li Wenzhao is very ambitious, and Yu Zanghua has both ends. If possible, can he provoke civil strife in Xia? How many more years can our court be caught off guard?"

Su You said: "Those two are both old foxes. If one party separates and dominates, it will be the king. They will be the pioneers of the Song Dynasty. Most of them will not be able to pull chestnuts out of the fire."

"Before the Song Dynasty gained a decisive advantage, they must have been waiting and watching. But I never counted on them from the beginning."

"You were born in Mingrun early, why did you let the Xia people grow up to this extent?!"

Looking at the beautiful scenery in the garden, Fu Bi said with emotion: "Back then, when the Song Dynasty was struggling to deal with Xixia, the Liao people just added insult to injury and asked for an increase in annual coins. I was appointed as an envoy to Liao in the face of danger. My daughter died in infancy, and my son was born, even though I was aggrieved, I asked for justice.

The peace agreement has just been reached.”

"After returning home, the imperial court treated him as a deputy privy envoy. I wrote to the imperial court, saying that increasing the age of coins is not my original intention. I specially used Fang to challenge Yuan Hao, but I didn't have time to fight for him. Therefore, I don't dare to fight with death. How dare he accept it?"

"All the ministers in the court thought that Fu Bi had made great contributions to the peace and reconciliation, and that the state affairs were no longer in danger. In July of the third year of Qingli, Your Majesty appointed me as Deputy Privy Envoy."

"I wrote again, saying that since the Khitan alliance is good, the people who proposed it will say that there is nothing to do. If the alliance is defeated, I will die and be guilty. I hope that your majesty will consider the shame of his slight, take the courage to sit on the salary, and never forget to improve the government."

"It has been thirty-seven years now."

"The most ridiculous thing is that the DPRK actually pretends that there is nothing wrong with it. Wen Tian and Wu are playful, forgetting the shame of insult in my memorial, and don't forget to sit on the salary and taste the bold words. It is a waste of what we have won with the annual coins.

opportunity!"

"As of Zhenzong Longbin, the country's power was actually extremely weak. If the Khitan knew about our country's situation at that time, took advantage of our country's mourning and raised troops to invade the south, the Song Dynasty would have fallen long ago."

"If you want the second Chanyuan Alliance, where can you get it?!"

"We hope for peace without intrusion from enemy countries, but what kind of peace is this?!"

"Therefore, as soon as Wang Jiefu's Ten Thousand Words Book was published, all knowledgeable people rushed to the rescue, thinking that the Song Dynasty would be saved from now on."

"Unexpectedly, Jiefu was so concerned, and coupled with the already concerned king, he ignored the heated debate in the world. The essence of his new law is exactly the same as Sang Hongyang."

"In your words, Mingrun, the new law did not create excess wealth, but only changed the distribution of wealth. It made the burden on the people heavier, allowing the national treasury to get 60% of what it plundered, and the powerful to help others commit crimes and 40% of it!

"

"The people don't have any tax, but the country has enough money! Just one market change has caused tens of thousands of families in the capital to be heavily in debt, causing His Majesty to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars! How can he, Wang Jiefu, say it out loud?!"

Speaking of the excitement, Fu Bi couldn't help coughing.
