Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

"Daddy, what do you call me for this New Year's Eve? I want to celebrate the New Year with the soldiers!" Yue Yun said strangely when he saw Yue Fei.

"Now I have a military task for you!" Yue Fei said.

"I don't know what military affairs it is?" Hearing that it was "military affairs", Yue Yun asked hurriedly with a serious face.

"I just came to the northwest, and His Majesty asked me to preside over the affairs of the northwest! Datong has the Huanqing Army, and I am very relieved. The situation in Yinzhou seems to be good. The only thing I am worried about now is Xiazhou! Zhang Jun is there, I let him Come to see me and report on the military situation, but he never came! Take a thousand soldiers and horses to see the situation in Xiazhou, and also pay a visit to Zhang Jun to see why he didn't come to see me." Yue Fei said.

"Daddy, why don't we go tomorrow! Today is New Year's Eve, and the soldiers are all waiting helplessly for the New Year's Eve, and the snow outside is so heavy, the road is extremely difficult." Yue Yun said.

The snow had stopped, but this afternoon, it started to snow again!

It was dusk now, and the snow outside had already fallen extremely heavily, covering the sky and the earth one after another.

"You have been in the army for almost a year, and you still don't know the reason why military orders are like mountains? Northwest military affairs are related to the overall situation of the world, and you can't slack off in the slightest! You lead the troops there immediately, and I will give you two quarters of an hour. If you haven't left, I will kill you with my own hands! Also, as I have said many times, you can only be called military rank in the army, not father and son! There are no fathers and sons in the army! If you commit another crime, you will never be spared!" Yue Fei said coldly.

"The last general knows!" Yue Yun knew that his father was right, so he didn't dare to say any more, and hurried outside.

Only a quarter of an hour later, Yue Yun left Linzhou City with a thousand soldiers and horses, heading west.

It was snowing heavily, and a thousand cavalry galloped in the heavy snow. In Linzhou City, at this moment, there were cheers from soldiers celebrating the New Year.

Yue Fei stood at the gate of the city, looking at his son's back, but he was thinking about Zhang Jun in Xiazhou. He hoped that everything was safe in Xiazhou. Jun wants to stay in Xiazhou and come back after the New Year!

"In another year, after one year, we will be able to launch a counterattack! At that time, the Jurchens in Liaodong will have no choice but to die! But during this year, I must not let any mistakes occur in the Northwest! I have to work hard Think about how to attack Jurchen if you go north in the future! In addition, His Majesty handed over the northwest to me, and many cities that used to be Xixia were handed over to me. There are war horses in those places, and cavalry can be formed again! Conquer the grasslands, the north, We still need cavalry." Yue Fei secretly said.

"Brother Yue, the soldiers are waiting for you." At this moment, Dong Xian's voice came from behind.

"Let's go, let's celebrate the New Year with the soldiers!" Yue Fei turned around and laughed.

In Yanjing City at this moment, there is also a New Year atmosphere here.

There are lanterns and festoons everywhere, but after several wars, the people of Yanjing City are poor, and even the supplies for the New Year have just been distributed by the court. This year's New Year is destined to be a difficult one, just like previous years, but many people in Yanyun have already seen hope.

In the imperial palace of Yanjing City, Zhao Chen is with more than 600 officials at this moment!

These more than 600 officials came from various places in Guanshan, Sichuan, Shu, and Hanzhong. Among them, 300 were former local officials, and 300 were young people with management skills drawn from the Production and Construction Corps.

These more than 600 people have just arrived in Yanjing City. After the new year, they will go to Yanyun and other places in the Central Plains to serve as magistrates, prefects, and prefects.

Zhao Chen, Yu Yunwen, Hu Quan and others discussed state affairs with these officials.

"Your Majesty, the trial of this case was originally a matter for the yamen of various places, but now it is given to the Military Law Department. What should we do?" A seventh-rank official in his fifties stood up and said.

He was originally a county magistrate in Sichuan and Shu, but this time he was transferred and his position was promoted, and he will soon be the magistrate of the prefecture!

"There are countless things to do! The most important thing is to build and stabilize the place! Such as collecting taxes, helping the people, building water conservancy, promoting commerce, etc.! Blessing, but serving the people! Not only the officials, but also the imperial court! The world belongs to the people, and the imperial court also serves the common people. If we can truly do this, our Great Song court will naturally last forever!" Zhao Chen said.

"I understand!" said the seventh-rank official in his fifties.

"No farming is not stable, no business is not rich! Now in Yanyun and the Central Plains, farming is the most important thing, and business is second! As long as the farmers can live and work in peace and contentment, and have food to eat, Yanyun and the Central Plains will naturally be stable, and the people will Naturally they will support us! Then there are business matters! Therefore, in the coming year, the imperial court will focus on farming! Officials from all over the country cannot stay in the yamen all the time, and even have to enter the farmland to talk to the people, or It is to personally help the people to farm, to motivate the people! In addition, I have invited some grain growers from all over the country to let them sum up the experience of growing grain, and we have to learn from it!" Zhao Chen said .

"Huh? As an official, I actually want to learn these things?" An official in his forties said in disbelief.

"The imperial court and officials serve the people. If they don't know this, how can they serve the people and help them? In the future, the officials of the imperial court will even have to be proficient in business! Promote officials! If there are officials who manage a place well, the harvest in that place is far better than other places, and the court will naturally reward them. If this has been the case for several years, the court will naturally promote them! Without real talent and hard work, if he sits in an official position and achieves nothing, even if he was the number one scholar in the past, the imperial court will not hesitate to pull him down from his official position! I hope you understand this truth!" Zhao Chen said.

In later generations, the country determined officials' achievements based on GDP and economic development. Now Zhao Chen also decided to follow the method of later generations, promoting officials according to the development of agriculture and commerce in various places! This is also a means of urging officials. Only in this way can the economy of Yanyun and the Central Plains recover in the shortest possible time! He wants officials to advocate hard work instead of doing nothing, or like other ancient dynasties, they only promote officials based on "morality" and "fame"!

When Zhao Chen said this, many officials below became active!

Some officials have begun to think about how to develop local agriculture! But in this regard, the advantages of young people are obviously greater! They have been farming in Guanshan for many years, and they have some experience in farming! Of course, governing the region and developing local agriculture does not mean that you can farm, it is just an advantage.

After discussing for a long time, it was almost midnight before Zhao Chen stopped.

Early the next morning, that is, the first day of the first month of the seventh year of Xuanwu, he will learn farming knowledge and some knowledge and experience in economic development with these officials. This study will continue until the tenth day of the first month!

Although this kind of study time is very short and the effect is very poor, Zhao Chen believes that with the promotion of this system of promoting officials, more and more officials who are good at developing the economy will inevitably emerge, and excellent experience will slowly spread to the public. all around! Moreover, the atmosphere of officialdom will also undergo great changes. Chinese officialdom no longer advocates empty talk as it did in history, which is good for the country and the nation!

These more than 600 officials were carefully selected. Zhao Chen believed that after they came to Yanyun and various places in the Central Plains, great changes would soon take place in Yanyun and various places in the Central Plains! These officials are also very clean now, and there is an atmosphere of cleanliness in Guanshan, Hanzhong, and Sichuan! At the beginning, Zhao Chen once cleaned up the officialdom in Guanshan, Hanzhong, and Sichuan and Shu, and many corrupt officials were cleared during the Zhekeqiu Rebellion and the White Lotus Sect Rebellion! But over time, these people may also change from clean to greedy.

"A bad system makes good people bad, and a good system makes bad people good! What is a bad system, there are no constraints on officials, officials can do whatever they want, and the cost of crime is extremely low. This is a bad system! What is a good system, officials There are restrictions, layers of restrictions and layers of supervision so that they don't dare to corrupt at all, and they don't dare to slack off in their official duties. Even a bad person, under such a system, he must work hard and be careful. This is a good system !So, the system reform cannot be stopped!" In the middle of the night, there was a faint sound of firecrackers outside, but Zhao Chen was thinking about this question in his heart.

He has deprived judicial power from the hands of magistrates and magistrates, but this is not enough.

"I don't know what's going on with Ah Yao? Our baby should be born?" As the night darkened, Zhao Chen suddenly thought of Song Qingyao, and suddenly had such thoughts in his heart.

Thinking of this question, Zhao Chen suddenly became excited.

The matter between him and Song Qingyao happened in March, and she was pregnant in October. Logically speaking, Song Qingyao should have given birth to a child by now! It’s just that Jiangnan is too far away from Yanyun. In addition, the ancient winter was extremely cold, the sea was frozen, and the land transportation was extremely difficult. It would take at least two months to travel from Jiangnan to Yanyun!

"There should be news!" Zhao Chen secretly said.

He was so desperate now that he wished he could go to Jiangnan and learn about the situation in Jiangnan.

It took him a long time to calm down.

"By the way, how is Yueru?" In such a night, everyone else was reuniting with their families, but he was alone. At this moment, he finally remembered Zheyue Tathagata.

Thinking of Zhe Yueru, Zhao Chen suddenly felt extremely guilty.

"Send someone to Hanzhong tomorrow to bring Yueru over," Zhao Chen secretly said.

Early the next morning, on the first day of the first lunar month, Zhao Chen sent people to pick up Zhe Yueru, and sent people south to ask for news about Jiangnan, not to mention that.

In Liaodong, it is also snowing heavily here!

Hundreds of Jurchens in thick leather coats are galloping towards the south on horseback. In front of them is the Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo, which used to be the Liao Kingdom.
