Prime Minister

Chapter 706

The official said: "I have read the list of rewards reported by the two governments."

"For example, Wang Xia Tween, the younger brother of Wang Shao, joined the army as the law Cao of Jiangning Prefecture. Wang Hou, the eldest son of Wang Shao, was promoted to the third rank as a military officer in Huizhou because of his military exploits and Tweeting grace. Xiaoshulang, Zhang Yue's nephew Zhang Zhitui, promoted to Taichang Cheng. I have approved all of these."

The same is true for the Tweet system.

Zhang Yue and Wang Shao regained the entire territory of Xizhou. This military achievement is great. It is bound to cause too much controversy if they are rewarded with official positions, but it is easy to be kind to family members, nephews and brothers.

But Jing Sili and Wang Junwan moved to the third class in Wuzi Capital.

Next, when discussing the rewards of Gao Zunyu, Zhang Yue, and Wang Shao, Gao Zunyu was ranked first by several ruling officials, and the officials inevitably had to say a few words.

Everyone knows how high Gao Zunyu's contribution is.

Wang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, although Gao Zunyu's contribution is not the first, but he is still in harmony with Wang Shao and Zhang Yue, and it is not an obstruction. The capture of Lintao City was also his first contribution."

After reading Li Xian's memorial, the officials didn't know the truth about Gao Zunyu's capture of Lintao?
Just thinking about the face of the other party being his uncle, he couldn't say it directly.

Wang Anshi and other ministers didn't say that they were concerned about their own face, but if the officials didn't say it themselves, they were not very sensible. If they said it, the ministers might secretly call themselves a fool.

The official said: "At the beginning, I ordered Zhang Yue to build Qingping Fort, and Gao Zunyu to build Maler Village. As a result, Qingping Fort was completed, but Gao Zunyu repeatedly asked for a reprieve. He said that Maler Village was near Xixia, and the army needed to be transferred from Qinfeng Road. , You have to rely on other people.”

"Now that Zhang Yue has built Qingping and Weiyuan Second Fort, Gao Zunyu has achieved nothing. How can he make the first contribution? If Gao Zunyu is allowed to be the appeasement envoy of the Xihe Economic Strategy, it will be laughed at by the world. I forbid this performance !"

Wang Anshi said: "Then promote Gao Zunyu to Xishanghemen envoy, governor of Rongzhou! Now Cao Yi is just rampantly adding equipment, so the reward is not too much."

The officials nodded. Now that Gao Zunyu's status is higher than that of the Empress Dowager Cao's younger brother, Cao Yi, it is indeed not a grievance. In this way, he can also be regarded as a businessman with the Empress Dowager.

The official said: "Zuzao! What official should Zhang Yue reward?"

Wang Anshi said: "Zhang Yue can reward you with a purple robe. Knowing the affairs of Xizhou's military state and Hezhou! Then give him "Imperial Attack and Defense Map", "Marching Rings and Pearls", "Martial Arts General Essentials", "Shenwu Secret Briefing" ", "Fengjiaojizhan", "Four-way Wars and Constraints" each one."

Purple robes are worn by officials of rank three and above, and scarlet robes are worn by officials of rank five.Originally, Zhang Yue, as the emperor's lecturer, once rewarded Fu Fei, but now he rewards Zipao.

But Zhizhou in the Song Dynasty wore purple robes, but this was called false purple.

The so-called fake purple means that court officials can wear purple robes when they go to the local prefectures to save face, but they must return them when they return to serve in the court.

And Zhang Yue is the magistrate of Xizhou, so he can wear a purple robe, but it's just a fake purple.

Now that the purple robe is rewarded, it is the real purple robe, not the fake purple robe.

At this point, it is almost the official of the hall. In the Tang Dynasty, officials of the third rank and above were called dignitaries, and officials of the fifth rank and above were called Tonggui.

The so-called nobles of the Manchu dynasty are noble!

As for Jianzhi Hezhou, it is also famous.

Officials are dispatched to move up and down, from the small state to the big state, the big state is promoted to the small state, and then the small state is promoted to the big state.

But there is no big state in Xihe Road, only a small state.

Of course, after the establishment of Xihe Road, Xizhou was promoted to Jiezhen Prefecture, and theoretically it could also be a Dazhou.

But Zhang Yue also knows Xizhou and Hezhou, which can be regarded as the real aptitude for knowing a big state.Of course, the entire territory of Hezhou is still under the control of Mu Zheng, and Zhang Yue, the prefect of Hezhou, is still purely a painting.

Anyway, when Zhang Yue was the 'Lord of Weiyuan Fort', he still dared to call him the magistrate of Xizhou. Now that he has the whole territory of Xizhou, it is no problem to know the magistrate of Hezhou as well.

Of course, this also shows the determination of the Song Dynasty to annex Hezhou, making Mu Zheng give up his unrealistic illusions.

The official said: "For Zhang Yue's merits, such a reward is really too thin."

Wang Anshi said: "It is true, but if you are promoted to the official position, you will be an advising doctor; if you are awarded a post in the museum, you will be a direct scholar."

An admonishing doctor can be a senior official in the court, and can be a transit envoy abroad. When Wu Chong was the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, he was just an advising doctor. There is no need to give it.

At Zhang Yue's stage, promotion is already difficult.

The officials also knew that this post cannot be granted for the time being, but he wanted to reward him with more medals, so he said: "Li Xianzuo said that since he was stationed in Weibao, Zhang Yue has never committed any crimes against the aboriginal people. Everyone can sing folk songs, and the military discipline is extremely strict."

"When his soldiers and horses entered Lintao City, the women of the Fan chieftains joined hands and sang songs around the Han officials, saying that from now on, there will be only business and no killing between the Fan and Han, and they will be happy to work. From then on, they will not be afraid of Muzheng to force cattle and horses."

Speaking of this, the official sighed: "The people's hearts are against each other, and it is the destiny. As the Son of Heaven, I must not be afraid of the people's hearts, and I must also follow the hearts of the people. Zhang Yue was able to appease the tribe for me. It is a great achievement to win the hearts of the people so much." One thing, how can I wrong him."

People who didn't know the situation thought that Li Xian had received so much money from Zhang Yue, but they actually said so many good things to Zhang Yue.

But everyone present knew that Li Xian was telling the truth.

The official said: "Then let Zhang Yue recommend another person as an official."

"According to the order."

"What official should Wang Shao reward?"

Wang Anshi said: "The position of the museum can be promoted to the editor of Jixian Hall, and the official can be added as the right secretary!"

The official said without hesitation: "Zuzao!"

In the minds of the officials, there is no doubt that Zhang Yuegong is the first, Wang Shaogong is the second, and Gao Zunyugong is the third.

This arrangement is just right.

The reward has been agreed, the following is the establishment and strength of the Xihe Economic and Strategic Appeasement Department.

Wang Anshi said: "After the establishment of the appeasement department on Xihe Road, it will be the extreme side, and the Qinfeng Road will be the second side."

"Sixty percent of the soldiers and horses on Qinfeng Road belong to Xihe Road. The ministers and others have counted, among them, there are 720 soldiers and 270 eight horses, of which 320 soldiers are stationed, 940 eight horses, and Fan soldiers. Eighteen thousand 390 four, horse two thousand 320."

"In addition, from the Jingyuan Road Jinglue appeasement envoy dispatched [-] archers, and Zhijun Jing Sili's [-] regular soldiers were dispatched to Xihe Jinglue appeasement envoy."

A total of [-] soldiers and horses were transferred from various roads in Shaanxi to Xihe Road to appease the envoy.

Wang Anshi also played: "In addition, the Xihe Road Economic and Strategic Appeasement Division has two officers under its jurisdiction, four officers in the road division, one officer in charge of walking horses, two officers in Xizhou General Judge, three officers in Cao Guan, three officers in custody at the berth, and supervisor of property affairs. Nine officials."

"At the same time, 500 million yuan will be allocated first, so as to realize the side expenses."

So many soldiers, so much money, and so many official positions.It can be seen how much resources the imperial court invested in the new establishment of the Xihe River Jing Road to appease the envoys.

Then the most important thing is who is this Xihe Road economic strategy appeasement envoy?Also, who is the transfer envoy of the Qinfeng Road Transit Envoy Division?

It is inevitable that Si Wang Anshi, the envoy to transfer Qinfeng Road, will win, so Cai Yanqing, who is waiting for Tianzhang Pavilion, was elected in court.

After the incident of the Sansheren, Wang Anshi elected Cai Yanqing as the Sheren.

Wen Yanbo disagreed. He believed that Cai Yanqing did not know how to fight, so he recommended Cai Ting, a direct scholar of Longtu Pavilion.The decision of personnel in the court is a focus of the confrontation between the chief executives.

Even a minister like Wang Anshi who does not form a party is no exception, and he will recommend people who are close to him for important positions, because from a personal point of view, no one will recommend a person he does not like, no matter how talented the other party is.

The Qinfeng Road Transshipment Envoy is the highest chief executive along the way, in charge of everything except military and criminal names, and at the same time supervises the administrative officials of the states below.

The reason why Wen Yanbo recommended Cai Ting was that Cai Ting knew better about soldiers. As an official who had guarded Shaanxi for many years, Cai Ting was indeed a suitable candidate.

However, Wang Anshi believed that the use of troops should be handled by the Economic and Strategic Appeasement Department, and the most important thing for the transfer envoy was financial management.We all know that Qinfeng Road is a big hole, and the court needs to use transfer payments to maintain it every year.

With so much money in the center being spent on Qinfeng Road, there must be an official who is good at financial management sitting here.

The two argued for a long time, and the officials supported Wang Anshi.

This result was not surprising. The officials clearly favored Wang Anshi, but it was not absolute. If Wen Yanbo proposed none of the personnel matters, Wen Yanbo would have resigned early.

It is the family law of the ancestors to stir up different opinions, so the officials still favor Wang Anshi, but they still have to make concessions to Wen Yanbo in some personnel matters, maintaining a [-]-[-] situation.

After the Qinfeng Road Transit Envoy was appointed, he became the Xihe Road Economic and Strategic Appeasement Envoy.

Wang Anshi still recommends Gao Zunyu.

Seeing the opponent push again, the officials frowned and said, "How can Gao Zunyu have this talent? How can he serve as a consolation envoy and general manager of military affairs along the way? I think it is enough to govern all the way."

After Li Xianyi said, the officials also understood Gao Zunyu's talents, and Qin Fenglu's jurisdiction was already in the sky.

Wang Anshi said: "Since this is the case, it is better to be the governor of the capital."

Wu Chong also guessed what Wang Anshi was thinking, and he objected: "Gao Zunyu still knows Huizhou now, and there is no one who knows Junzhou when the general manager leaves the commander's mansion."

The commander of the military and horse capital is the commander-in-chief of the army and horses, and the governor is the administrative officer. If you are not an economic and strategic appeasement envoy, it would be weird to have two positions, which violates the principle of separating civil and military affairs.

However, Wang Anshi insisted on a very firm attitude.

Wen Yanbo and Wu Chong both thought to themselves, Wang Anshi insisted on letting Gao Zunyu be the general manager of Xihe Road, and he obviously didn't want others to do the same.

Du Zong Guan was originally called Du Deployment, but later changed to Du Zong Guan to avoid Yingzong's name taboo.Generally speaking, the economic and strategic appeasement envoys also serve as the general manager of the road soldiers and horses.

In the end, the court also passed Gao Zunyu as the governor of the capital and informed Huizhou, and at the same time Jing Sili was under the jurisdiction of Lufenqian.

Wang Anshi said again: "We can make Zhang Yue the appeasement envoy of the Xihe Road Economic Strategy and also know Xizhou, and Wang Shao be the deputy appeasement envoy of the Xihe Road Economic Strategy and also know the Tongyuan Army."

The officials agreed.

After the dynasty was dispersed, Wen Yanbo and Wu Chong left together.Wen Yanbo said to Wu Chong: "All the appeasement envoys of economic strategy are private to the prime minister. I heard that your son-in-law has never sent a private letter to Jiefu. On the contrary, Wang Zichun wrote a letter to Jiefu every few days to describe the economic strategy. What about Xihe!"
