Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 428: Advocating hard work

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

"Now there is a piece of military affairs to be handed over to you!" Yue Fei said.

"I don't know what military affairs are?" Yue Yun asked with a solemn expression on his face when he heard "military affairs".

"I just came to the northwest. Your Majesty asked me to take charge of the Northwest affairs! I am relieved that the Huanqing Army is in Datong. The situation in Yinzhou seems to be good, and the only worry now is Xiazhou! Zhang Jun is there, and I let him Came to see me to report on the military situation, but he never came! You brought a thousand soldiers and horses to see the situation in Xiazhou, and also to see Zhang Jun, to see why he didn't come to see me." Yue Fei said.

"Daddy, it's better to go tomorrow! Today is the 30th New Year, the soldiers are all waiting for the New Year, and the snow outside is so big, the road is extremely difficult." Yue Yun said.

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

It's dusk now, and the snow outside has already fallen so much, one after another, covering the world.

"You have been in the army for almost a year, and you still don’t know the truth of the military order? Northwest military affairs are related to the overall situation of the world, and you can't slack a bit! You will now lead the soldiers and horses to the past, and I will give you two quarters of an hour. If you haven't left, I will personally punish you! Also, as I have said many times, the military can only call the military position, not father and son! There is no father and son in the military! If you commit another crime, I will never forgive you!" Yue Fei Road coldly.

"I know it at the end!" Yue Yun knew that his father said nothing, so he didn't dare to say more at the moment, and hurriedly went outside.

After only a quarter of an hour, Yue Yun left Linzhou City with a thousand soldiers and horses under him and headed towards the west.

The heavy snow flew, a thousand cavalry galloping in the heavy snow, in Linzhou City, at this moment, there was the cheers of the soldiers celebrating the New Year.

Yue Fei stood at the gate of the city, looking at his son’s back, but in his heart he wondered about Zhang Jun in Xiazhou. He hoped that everything in Xiazhou would be safe. He hoped that Zhang Jun would only be delayed because of some things, or that it coincided with the arrival of the New Year. Jun wants to stay in Xiazhou and wait until after the New Year!

"In one more year, one year later, we will be able to launch a counterattack! At that time, the Jurchens in Liaodong had only one dead end! But in this year, I must not let the Northwest make any mistakes! I still have to do it well. Think about how to attack Jurchen if you go north in the future! In addition, your majesty will hand over the northwest to me. Many cities that used to be in Xixia are given to me to control. There are horses in those places, and you can form cavalry again! Conquer the grasslands and the north. You 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.

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

At the moment in Yanjing City, here is also a New Year atmosphere.

Lanterns and festoons were everywhere, but after several wars, the people of Yanjing City were poor, and the materials used for the New Year were just issued by the imperial court. This year's New Year is destined to be a difficult one, as in previous years, but many people in Yanyun have already seen hope.

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

These more than 600 officials came from all parts of Guanshan, Sichuan, Shu, and Hanzhong. Among them, three hundred were former local officials, and three hundred were young people with management ability drawn from the Production and Construction Corps.

These six hundred people have just arrived in Yanjing City. After the New Year, they will go to Yanyun and Central Plains to serve as prefects, prefectures and prefects.

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

"Your Majesty, this trial case was originally a matter for the yamen in various places. Now it is given to the Military Law Department. What are we doing?" A seven-tier official who was over fifty years old stood up and said.

He was originally a county magistrate of Sichuan and Shu, but this time he was transferred to a high position, and he will soon be the prefect!

"There are countless things to do! The most important thing is to build and stabilize the place! Like collecting taxes, like helping the people, building water conservancy, promoting commerce, etc.! As an official, you don’t sit on the people’s head and do prestige. Fortune, but to serve the people! Not only the officials, but also the court! The world is the world of all the people, and the court also serves the people. If we can really do this, our Song court will naturally last forever!" Zhao Chen said.

"Weichen understand!" said the seven-tier official who was more than fifty years old.

"No agriculture is unstable, no business is not rich! Now in Yanyun and all parts of the Central Plains, agriculture is the most important thing, and commerce is second! As long as farmers can live and work in peace and work and have food to eat, Yanyun and Central Plains are naturally stable and the people Naturally, we will support us! Then comes the business affairs! Therefore, in the coming year, the imperial court will focus on agriculture! Officials from all over the country cannot stay in the yamen forever, or even enter the farmland to talk to the people, or It is to personally help the people to farm to inspire the people! In addition, I have also invited some grain growers from all over, so that these grain growers can sum up their experience in growing food, and we also have to learn!" Zhao Chen said .

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

"The court and officials serve the people. If they don’t know this, how can they serve the people and how can they help the people? In the future, the officials of the court will even have to be proficient in commerce! Promote officials! If there are officials governing the local government well, the harvest in that place is much better than other places. The court will naturally reward. If this is the case for a few years, the court will naturally be promoted! From now on, the imperial court appoints officials mainly for the Without true talents, if you do nothing at the official position, even if you were a champion or explorer, the court will not hesitate to remove him from the official position! I hope you understand this truth!" Zhao Chen said.

In later generations, the state determines the official performance of officials based on GDP and economic development. Now Zhao Chen has also decided to follow the method of later generations and promote officials based on the development of agriculture and commerce in various places! This is also a means to urge officials. Only in this way can the economy of Yanyun and Zhongyuan recover in the shortest time! He wants officials to advocate hard work, instead of doing nothing, or just like other dynasties in ancient times, only promoting officials based on "morality" and "reputation"!

What Zhao Chen said, many officials below have become active!

Some officials have begun to think about how to develop local agriculture! However, in this regard, the young people's advantage is obviously greater! They have been farming in Guanshan for many years, and they have some experience in farming! Of course, governing local areas and developing local agriculture does not mean that you can grow the fields. This is just an advantage.

After discussing for a long time, Zhao Chen stopped when it was almost time for him to discuss it.

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 of economic development with these officials. Such learning will continue until the tenth day of the first month!

Although this kind of study time is short and the effect is very poor, Zhao Chen believes that as this promotion system continues to be promoted, more and more officials who are good at economic development will emerge, and the excellent experience will slowly spread to All around! Moreover, the atmosphere of the officialdom will also change a lot. The officialdom in China no longer advocates empty talk as it did in history. This is good for the country and the nation!

These more than 600 officials are carefully selected. Zhao Chen believes that after they come to Yanyun and all parts of the Central Plains, great changes will soon take place in Yanyun and all parts of the Central Plains! These officials are now very clean, and there is a clean atmosphere in Guanshan, Hanzhong, and Sichuan! Zhao Chen had cleaned up the officialdom of Guanshan, Hanzhong, and Chuanshu, and many corrupt officials were cleared out during the chaos of Zheqiu and Bailianjiao! But over time, these people may also become greedy from being incorruptible.

"Bad systems make good people bad, and good systems make bad people good! What is a bad system does not restrict 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 and levels of supervision, so that they dare not embezzle at all, and dare not slacken their official duties at all. Even a bad person, under such a system, he must be conscientious and careful. This is a good system. So, the system reform can't stop yet!" Late at night, there was a faint sound of firecrackers outside, but Zhao Chen was thinking about this issue in his heart.

He has stripped judicial power from the hands of the prefects and prefects, but this is far from enough.

"I don't know how A Yao is going? Our child should have been born?" As the night darkened, Zhao Chen suddenly remembered Song Qingyao, and suddenly had such thoughts in his heart.

Thinking of this question, Zhao Chen suddenly became excited.

The incident between him and Song Qingyao happened more frequently in March and became pregnant in October. Logically speaking, Song Qingyao should have given birth to a child by now! It's just that the south of the Yangtze River is too far from Yanyun. In addition, the ancient winter was extremely cold, the sea was already frozen, and the land transportation was extremely difficult. It took at least two months to travel from the south to Yanyun!

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

He is so urgent now that he can't wait to go to Jiangnan by himself to understand the situation in Jiangnan.

After a long time, he calmed down.

"By the way, what happened to Yueru?" On such nights, everyone else was reunited with the whole family. He was only one person. At this moment, he finally thought of Zheyue Tathagata.

Thinking of Zheyueru, Zhao Chen suddenly felt extremely guilty.

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

On the morning of the second day, on the first day of the first lunar month, Zhao Chen sent someone to pick up Zhe Yueru, and another person went south to inquire about Jiangnan news, not to mention it.

In Liaodong, there is also heavy snow!

Hundreds of Jurchens wearing thick leather jackets are riding horses toward the south, and ahead is Liaoyang Prefecture, Tokyo, which was once Liao Kingdom.
