Chapter 1,715 Impeached Again

Yelu Yanxi also had self-respect, and Situ had considered the Liao Kingdom so carefully that he could not even say that he would give it to the Song Dynasty for free.

In my heart, I felt indescribable admiration for Situ of the Song Dynasty. People in the country looked down on him, saying that he would always be just a refined and pure old man. However, after a simple negotiation, he could see the extraordinary in him.

Anyone who imports seeds can give Situ a clear explanation and take care of all aspects.

I glanced at the Prime Minister Wang Jing who was accompanying him. Prime Minister Wang was a good man in organizing the supply and export of military funds. However, when it came to how many seeds were missing and how to seize them, the farming country still had its own way.

So he handed Su You over and said: "Thanks to Situ Jian's advice, Yanxi felt that he had benefited a lot. So according to Situ's advice, I ordered the officials in the south to make statistics quickly."

Su You's frown finally broadened, and he seemed to really take the affairs of the Liao Kingdom as his own: "Yes, this matter is extremely important and we must hurry up. If we miss the farming season, it will be a disaster all over the place."

"In the past, there were too many incidents in the Song Dynasty where small disasters turned into major disasters due to poor officials."

"These are all lessons, lessons learned by the Song Dynasty at the expense of human lives. Your Majesty sent King Yan to personally deal with this matter. He is considered a party member..."

Under the pressure of Yelu Yanxi, the southern courtyard of the Liao Dynasty finally started to operate efficiently. Finally, a rough estimate was that the Liao Kingdom needed 200,000 hectares of land for planting this year, and almost 400,000 bushels of seeds were needed.

Seeds in the Song Dynasty were now 30% more expensive than ordinary grain. If they really needed real money and silver from the Liao Kingdom, it would cost more than 100 coins per bucket, plus transportation costs, it would cost tens of thousands of guans.

The money was neither too much nor too little, but Su You was very considerate and included it as a support plan, waiving shipping costs, and lowering the price to a hundred cents through variety configuration. Yelu Yanxi was too embarrassed to save any more.

In order to further reduce the economic pressure on the Liao Kingdom, Su You also kindly exported some sugar beet seeds successfully developed by the Agricultural College of the Capital University, and added a sugar factory. 80% of the first batch of sugar will be obtained by the Song Dynasty free of charge for offset

The remaining 20% ​​of the sugar factory expenses will be converted into grain as income for sugar farmers. In this way, the Liao Kingdom will be "supported".

It should be said that Situ of the Song Dynasty had done his best to serve the Liao Kingdom. Yelu Yanxi expressed his gratitude to the Song Dynasty for not taking advantage of the situation, but for helping the Song Dynasty.

Situ also earnestly explained that after the seed rush, the Liao Kingdom's Dingli will be able to slow down a little. By then, the production capacity of the industry and mines should be increased, which can almost make up for the slowdown in the past six months.

The use of people's power must be reasonable, neither excessive nor idle, and adequate remuneration must be given, and cannot be exploited blindly.

On the occasion of parting, Su You gave Yelu Yanxi a luxurious banquet in the backyard of Shibosi. He also presented Yelu Yanxi with many books and gifts, and then emphasized that the preliminary work of the large iron works was lagging behind and needed to be urgent.

Next, the cement plant, machinery plant, and boiler plant will all be put into operation, and the later construction of delivery rooms and the processing of some non-critical equipment will be put on the agenda. These are all linked together.

The Guyu Rebellion caused the loss of a large number of skilled workers, and the Liao Kingdom had to make up for this shortcoming as soon as possible.

Yelu Yanxi felt that he had benefited a lot from this trip. If Situ was from Liao, even a grand master would not be enough.

It's a pity that there are a lot of troubles in the country, otherwise I would like to stay a few more days and listen to the teachings.

…

In March, Fan Zuyu wrote again: "Now that spring is in full swing, and farmers and mulberry trees are in season, and there are many stupid people who have committed crimes, they should be dispatched according to the severity to go to work. Please do not do anything without Zhuo Ran, and do not do anything rashly.

Pursuing harassment. Those whose prison affairs require proof of arrest will be dispatched immediately."

Bi Zhongyan, the Minister of Dali Temple, also completed the index of the code and believed that many of the heavy legal regulations are no longer applicable to today's Song Dynasty.

For example, the crime of implication, except for rebellion and rebellion, should not involve the father and son; such as Baojia and Luo Jia, it is also a harsh law; for other such crimes, there are a hundred articles in total, and a memorial is submitted.

Call the three provinces to determine the deletions.

In Guimao, the governor of Yuezhou reported that Cai Que died on the road.

After Gao Taotao received the report, he said to Lu Dafang: "Cai is indeed dead. This man is a treacherous person and his cronies have caused harm. Having him like this is a blessing to the country."

Lu Dafang had no choice but to bow and agree: "This is heaven's punishment."

A few days later, the King of Jing, Zhao Kai, proposed to the Imperial Academy of the Capital. He was appointed deputy director of the Academy of Fine Arts of the Imperial Academy, and Prince Consort Wang Shen died.

The relationship between the eldest princess and Wang Shen after that big incident later became the biggest mystery in the Song Dynasty. Even Gao Taotao was unable to understand the true situation between the eldest princess and the consort.

But on the surface, after Wang Shen returned to Beijing from Sizhou, he became a loyal believer in Erlin Buddhism. He immersed himself in Buddhism and painting skills, copied a large number of Dunhuang murals, and became the top painter in the Song Dynasty.

He built a garden in a quiet valley in Zhongmou, where he wrote poems and drank wine without caring about worldly affairs. Among the scholars, he actually earned the title of "Wang Wei of the Song Dynasty".

He also developed many painting techniques, brushes, and inks, especially imitating Dunhuang murals, using oil and mineral materials to draw religious portraits, which are full of the mottled and vicissitudes of the murals, pursuing the mysterious feeling created by light, and art

The achievements are astonishingly high.

However, Wang Shen almost ignored his family affairs. Wang Yanbi won the first prize, but Wang Shen did not even attend the family banquet.

Even for the wedding of Wang Yanbi and Wu Chong's daughter, Wang Shen only sent a carefully drawn scroll of the Infinite Light Buddha as a congratulatory gift.

Similarly, no one could understand what Wang Shen was thinking. However, Wang Shen did not spend a penny on the eldest princess to build a garden. He relied entirely on his own income from selling ink and paint, which made Su Yougao look at him.

But it was just a glance. Thinking of Wang Yanbi's appearance when he first came to him, Su You felt that this man should have died long ago.

In Su You's eyes, Wang Shen was a typical example of someone who had been corrupted to the extreme by cultural dross. This person was a tragedy, a disaster for both himself and the people around him.

The eldest princess and Wang Yanbi were right to stay away from him, otherwise his negative energy would be enough to destroy a normal family.

In other words, a normal family has been destroyed.

However, Wang Shen's death was a trouble for Su You. Wang Yanbi himself used it very smoothly. It will take Ding You two years now, and it is estimated that after the end of the rule, the court will make great use of him.

There is no reason for a dignified scholar to be the secretary of the shogunate for the rest of his life.

I really can’t bear to part with it...

Also reluctant to part with them are Shi Wei and Chu'er.

It was difficult to take care of children, so Su You held a family meeting, and finally decided to leave Chu'er with Shi Wei so that he could take care of anyone with headaches and fever, while Guan'er went to Jiaodong with Bian Guan.

One advantage of being an instructor is that you have three months of intensive vacation every year, and you can also get together twice a year.

But this time Shi Wei and Chu'er were about to leave Daming Mansion. The Meng family's sister was pregnant. Although Tang Shenwei said that the fetus was developing normally during every checkup, no Xianqing returned to the capital to take charge. Zhao Xu felt panicked and sent several letters to remind him.

times.

So Su You had to arrange for them to return to Beijing with Wang Yanbi.

Also traveling with him was Cheng Yue, who has now become Chu'er's professional nanny, and Chu'er is also very close to him.

Chu'er likes to go shopping, and he likes to go shopping very early in the morning. He always wakes up in the early morning, and when he wakes up, he screams "Go to the market".

Cheng Yue accepted this honorable task without hesitation. The martial arts practitioners got up early anyway, so an old man and a young man made up a good couple.

So the two heroes of Yihe, who were dignified, often rode around the market for Pei'er as shoulder horses, and Pei'er often peed on their necks.

Seeing the deep relationship between the two, Su You couldn't bear to separate them anymore, so he agreed to Cheng Yue's resignation and promoted him to be a worshiper of the Su family and Chu'er's companion.

For Cheng Yue, who had always found it difficult to get used to officialdom, Su You's move was like breaking the shackles and breaking the cage, and doing a great favor.

Little did he know, he was put under another set of shackles by the traitor Su Da.

There was another major event in March. The censor Dong Dunyi and Huang Qingji respectively issued four memorials to impeach Su Che, the minister, and Su Shi, the minister of rites.

This thing is simply a magical operation.

In their memorials, they stated that since the Su Che brothers came to power, they had promoted a large number of Sichuan people, making the Sichuan people increasingly powerful in the court.

Su Zhe relied on nepotism and placed himself and his brother's confidants in various confidential departments.

For example, Zhang Lei and Chao Buzhi were both Su Shi's favorite students;

Qin Guan, Du Yu, Wang Gong and others also received corresponding promotions.

Therefore, some shameless scholar-bureaucrats often went in and out of the Su Che brothers' house.

Su Shi was demoted again and again during the reign of the late emperor, and he committed many crimes. If it had not been for the mercy of the late emperor, he would have been executed long ago.

Since His Majesty came to the throne, Su Shi has made great efforts on issues such as tax law and is innovative.
