Chapter 1741 Difficulties

In this way, the government still has three factions, but the reformists have become the banner in charge of government affairs, and the conservatives have retreated to the position of deputy prime minister.

In the second echelon, the reformists are the main ones, and the reformists are the deputy.

The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household Affairs are also conservative positions, while the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War are occupied by the former reformists.

As a result, the situation in the court was still quite stable, and Zhao Xu asked two people he could easily control, Lai Zhi Shao and Li Zhichun, to take charge of the important advice.

Zhang Shangying was finally recalled and became the right person.

There is also a descendant of the Kong family, Kong Zhongwu.

In addition, Lin Xi was from Zhongshushe and Huang Lu was the censor Zhongcheng.

This is a very powerful start. Although it is not a "full force", it is definitely extremely effective.

After all, it is not necessarily a good thing to have people in court and loudmouths shaking the world.

There is nothing going on with Su You and Zhang Dun here. Zhang Dun was just released not long ago, so it was difficult to recall him immediately.

Su You, on the other hand, has become Zhao Xu's ultimate trump card, leaving him with the backup plan to keep things under control, hiding it without revealing anything.

If the rulers dare to break away from his will and act on their own, Zhao Xu has a countermeasure. The young emperor has just taken over the throne, so this is a necessary method.

As for Tai Jian, except for one Zhang Shangying, the others had nothing to do with Su You, and they also had the intention of checking and balancing.

Su You was also very satisfied with Zhao Xu's arrangement. He was not a person who liked power in the first place, and he had never consciously accepted supervision. Therefore, he gave a high score of 90% to the team that Zhao Xu had assembled.

The system has entered a mature stage. Before it enters a period of decline, what the court needs is no longer originality, but execution.

If the emperor doesn't go astray, Cai Jing will be very obedient.

In March, Kaienke, Zhike.

Two candidates from the Su family won Jinshi again, but the ranking finally made the scholars all over the world breathe a sigh of relief - neither Su Shi nor Su Xun entered the top ten!

Su You read the two people's test papers and found that it was not that their literary skills were not good, but on the contrary, the writing was quite impressive.

The reason why it fell out of the top ten is because of "conservatism", which overemphasized Gao Taotao's approach and understated Shenzong's approach, that is, "advocating Yuanyou and scorning Xifeng", which is inconsistent with the "Shao Shu" of the current imperial court.

The tone does not match.

There is nothing that can be done about this. The two are Su Che's sons, so the test paper can only be written like this. If the writing hadn't made the marking officer feel comfortable, he would have been dismissed.

But no matter what, in this generation of the Su family, except for Bian Guan, who joined the right class, all the others became Jinshi!

A top ten scholar!

After the examination, Su Shi was appointed Qiantang Lieutenant, and Su Xun was appointed Xingde Lieutenant.

On his way to take office, Su Xun inspected Shizhong Mountain and wrote an article "The Story of Shizhong Mountain". Yan Xiaoshan found it interesting and published it in the Times.

When Su You saw the Times, he couldn't help but be stunned. This damn thing, going around in circles, "The Story of Shizhong Mountain", it came back to the Su family again!

In Bingwu, Ce is a virtuous and upright person who can speak out and give advice.

Gengxu, the three provinces advanced together and presented Zhang Xian, Wu Chou and Chen Yang as the fifth class.

This is quite embarrassing. The fifth grade is a failure.

None hit!

Zhao Xu's skills were also trained among a group of big guys. Just because he can't write doesn't mean he can't read.

I usually read too many of Situ's chapters that are very informative. They always ask questions, do research, list numbers, present facts, reason, and provide solutions.

There is usually more than one plan, and A, B, and C are left to the emperor to choose.

Looking at the three people now, I couldn't help but sigh: "In the Jinshi policy, there are more arts and sciences than this."

Cai Jing was appointed as the new prime minister. He was a prime minister who picked up Zhang Dun's trap. As for the two years, three years and four years, Cai Jing knew that his weight in the emperor's heart was not as good as Zhang Dun's, so he decided to protect himself and fight for the third and fourth.

There is no need to consider the five-year limit at all, because I am still young, and the practice of using up all my character in five years is definitely not advisable.

He cautiously asked Zhao Xu: "What do you think is the safest way to deal with it?"

"Compared to Renzu, it's embarrassing..." Zhao Xu looked at the test paper again and was speechless.

Cai Jing was also a little speechless, but he really wanted to persuade the emperor. Renzong's dynasty and Ouyang Xiuna's list of dragons and tigers were almost unprecedented, so it's not just the system that makes us lose face. What's the point?

Think about it and decide to throw the blame to Wang Anshi: "As the saying goes, it takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. The Shenzong Dynasty produced famous ministers in large numbers. This was the result of the benevolent emperor and the courtiers at that time attaching great importance to culture and education and working hard to cultivate them."

"After Wang Xianggong came to power, he repeatedly changed the law and deleted it as a matter of family. The consequences now are what he did at that time."

"Then the Divine Examination brought things to order, and the Empress Dowager followed, and now Your Majesty will continue. Although the results will be after today, the long-term prospects are promising."

Zhao Xu felt that it made sense, and nodded: "For the sake of future generations, we must work hard now, and we can't let our descendants embarrass me like I am now."

Cai Jing quickly bowed: "I obey your order."

Zhao Xu threw the test paper on the case: "Fifth class will be fifth class. You can't promote mediocrity just for the sake of face. This year's subject preparation will be abandoned."

…

In March, the Liao Kingdom finally ushered in a good day, and the Posoling Iron Works finally went into production!

Yelu Yanxi attached great importance to it and made a special trip to attend the groundbreaking ceremony.

The scientific and engineering talents trained by the Song Dynasty for the Liao Kingdom all went to work, completely making up for the gap after the Bohai Man-made Rebellion.

Seeing thousands of kilograms of molten iron being taken out of the blast furnace, rolled into steel sheets, and then cut into embryonic strips for swords, Yelu Yanxi couldn't help but praise Wang Jing and Shi Chun: "The two beloved ministers deserve the most credit."

After saying that, he looked at Shi Gong, who was busy instructing the workers: "Shi Aiqing has a successor."

Shi Chun, however, was quite worried: "The national situation is difficult, and even though your Majesty is so stubborn, he still doesn't forget to reward your ministers. I feel so honored and dare not try my best."

"Now that our country can produce 15,000 kilograms of refined iron per day, the country will become strong again in the blink of an eye. However, the biggest problem is the lack of miners and insufficient preparation of materials."

"Your Majesty, why not take some time to rest and recuperate? Take Liaoyang, Changchun, and Whisling Ridge as our foundations, develop people's livelihood, and build a strong army. In a few years, the Tatars and women will not be able to achieve peace."

"The late Emperor Long Yu, Your Majesty is new to the throne. The court is frightened, the people are worried, the military strength is waiting to be strengthened, and the state is waiting to be prosperous. It is definitely not the time to build an army."

"I would like to ask your Majesty to rein in the troops a little and send a few sergeants to mine the Whispering Ridge. Firstly, this will supplement the manpower and solve the problem of insufficient manpower. Secondly, it will suppress the surrounding areas."

"All the iron tools used in mining are the army without uniforms. We must guard against it..."

Yelu Yanxi said: "I am not aware of what I have said. However, Jeddah is now powerful and has nearly 100,000 soldiers. Menggentulak and Magusu each have more than 30,000."

"The emperor's uncle has three chapters a day, asking for more troops. The corruption in the northwest needs to be dealt with urgently. At least we can't let the captives cross the Jinshan Mountain and threaten our Changchun and Liaoyang heartland."

"In the military system of our dynasty, the emperor controlled the palace and tents of Tielin, and the queen controlled Shan. At its peak, the emperors and queens each had three hundred thousand men. They commanded thousands of miles, went on expeditions to Xizhou, and drank their horses in Bianliang."

"Nowadays, the country has powerful enemies outside and rebellion inside, the Bohai Sea is full of hatred, and the women are causing quarrels. Although we want to rest and recuperate, how can a tree want to be quiet but the wind will not stop?"

"Previously, the Northwest Recruitment Division lost 80,000 troops. This time, Emperor Long Bin's army lost another 100,000. The war in the southwest has lasted for many years, with losses of no less than 30,000. In addition, the rebels and ministers were also killed, and the losses before and after were no less than 10,000.

Remain."

"The Khitan had a total army of 600,000, and the remaining 300,000 or so were not yet elites. All the soldiers, armor, and horses were captured by the Tatars. One was lost and the other was increased."

"To defend Jinshan, we need two hundred thousand troops. To suppress the female straights, we need at least fifty thousand troops. How many more troops can we have to guard against the minions' servants?"

Shi Chun thought for a while: "Can we bring out some food and recruit refugees?"

Now it was Wang Jing's turn to complain: "Old Minister, you have not taken over this family. Many battles, disaster relief, counterinsurgency, restoration of water conservancy, industry and mining... all of these were raised from the southern states.

The funding, including the initial small iron factory, has reached no less than 3 million yuan."
