649. January 13, five years
"Happy New Year, I won't give it to you."
Although Song Beiyun returned to Jinling one day late, he finally spent New Year's Eve with Zhao Cheng, who was disgusted.
But he came back after all. As soon as he entered the door on the first day of the Lunar New Year, there were endless visitors, sending away a group of people and then coming.
Looking at the backs of these people at the door, Xiao Song shook his head and sighed. At this time, Aunt Hong walked up to him and patted him on his head: "It's not good to sigh during the Chinese New Year."
"Aunt Hong, look at these people." Xiao Song pointed to those who had just delivered the gift to the door: "Does it look like a group of dogs?"
"When people visit during the holidays, how can you say that to others?"
Before Xiao Song could explain, Yu Sheng happened to come out. He smiled when he heard this: "Bei Yun is right, these people are dogs."
Xiao Song turned around and looked at Yu Sheng, and both of them laughed.
As long as he was in the officialdom, no one knew what Song Beiyun's reputation was. His achievements were attributed to his reputation, and his reputation was given to him. The reputation of being virtuous and righteous in the Song Dynasty was almost ruined by him alone. Ordinary noble people would definitely disdain to join him.
But morality depends on morality. Now they are really popular and hot. They are the ministers who win over two golds to determine the universe and expand their territory. After the beginning of the year, they will at least be a marquis. They may be a county marquis. They are the youngest person to be a marquis now. If they are named a marquis, they will be repaid? With the current style of the little emperor, as long as Song Beiyun does not rebel, they will be a prince of a different surname.
When will such people be cursing to be favored now? Otherwise, these people are dogs, their noses are very smart. Song Beiyun followed as soon as he reached the front foot, and they connected seamlessly.
"Where is Goudan?" Xiao Song stopped talking about this topic with Aunt Hong, but just looked around: "I didn't see you in the morning."
"He, he went out to play with his classmates in the school." Aunt Hong sighed: "He is now at the age of being tired of dogs, and he knows how to play all day long."
"Let's play." Xiao Song chuckled: "It's best for him to play safely for the rest of his life."
In fact, Xiao Song brought a lot of gifts from outside, whether it was ginseng from Liaodong, pearls from the East China Sea or various local specialties, in short, it was filled with a car. Most of these things were filial to others. The filial to the Song people, the filial to the grassland people, the filial to the Jin people, and whenever they went, someone would give him various treasures, making him look like the corruption in the lyrics and Scripture books.
"Brother Yusheng, how are you doing with Guanyinnu?"
When talking about Guanyinnu, Yusheng felt a little embarrassed and wanted to evade the words, but Aunt Hong was not used to this problem and started complaining when she came up.
"This matter is very troublesome. Guanyinnu is a princess from another country, and Princess Shang wants to marry into a marriage. I went to the government to help him. The government said he had no choice but to say that he was not as good as you in this matter."
Aunt Hong was completely unhappy when she spoke, and she thought she could understand it. She was just a single child in her family and went to Liao to become a son-in-law. No one could stand it. Moreover, Zhao Xing himself probably didn't support it, because if Yu Sheng was really put in Liao to Liao as a son-in-law, it would be difficult to deal with. After all, a few days ago, he bragged to Zhao Xiangna that he had gathered the three talents of heaven, earth, and now talents are going to be son-in-law for others? Can he be happy?
"That's it?" Xiao Song turned his head and looked at Yu Sheng: "Brother Yu Sheng isn't me talking to you, you're so unauthentic."
Yusheng: "???"
"If you want me to tell me, you should hurry up and get the matter done. Guanyinnu's belly is big and round and flat, and the Buddha Baonu said, "I'll give her three courages to see if she dares to do anything to my nephew."
Xiao Song slapped his hand: "That's the decision. I will solve it on the Liao Emperor. If you solve the Guanyin slave, you must be quick, accurate, steady and ruthless, and make the final decision."
"You..." Yusheng's expression became cramped: "It's hard to say these words, it's bad reputation for a girl."
"What a bad reputation?" Aunt Hong said to her, "Girls really have to care about that, and they will follow your butt all day long and look like a tail?"
"That's right." Xiao Song also nodded and said, "I am willing to do it in my heart, but you are pushing and shoving. Whatever you are doing, I will be anxious for you if you don't worry."
Yusheng didn't say anything, but kept looking at Song Beiyun. Xiao Song looked around and looked at the door of the house and found that Guanyinnu was standing there sneakily, revealing half of his body and quietly listening to the wall.
"Anyway, I'll let this go. You'll do your own business quickly. Brother Yusheng... You're twenty-seven, how can you not get married?" Xiao Song scratched his face: "My youngest son is out."
"I...you..."
Yu Sheng turned around and walked out of the door. Not long after he walked out, he saw the blushing Guanyin slave trotting all the way. The two of them disappeared at the entrance of the alley in a blink of an eye.
"These two." Xiao Song shook his head disdainfully and said, "It's not very good."
Aunt Hong didn't say anything, just laughed. After coming to her senses, she hit Xiao Song: "You just came back but haven't gone to sleep for a while, and you want to go somewhere to wander."
"What are you scattering? You're going to do something." Xiao Song sighed, "It's not the past. I'm also 24 and 25 in a blink of an eye. You can't always treat me as a child."
Aunt Hong was stunned for a moment, looked at Song Beiyun. After looking at her for a while, she sighed softly, "Yes, you all have grown up, why are life so fast?"
Xiao Song smiled and said, "Okay, OK, I'll go out to do something first and come back for lunch later."
"Be careful on the road, wear more when the weather is cold."
"I know, I know." Xiao Song pulled up the fur coat at the door and walked out of the door.
"Don't delay on the road, go and go quickly."
In response to Aunt Hong's nagging, Xiao Song walked out of the door. Song Beiyun inside and Song Beiyun outside the door almost changed people in an instant.
He restrained the smile on his face, reached out to touch the servant who had been waiting outside, and walked forward without saying a word.
Someone wants to greet Song Beiyun, so Song Beiyun naturally has to visit people.
According to normal principles, he didn't need to wish anyone a happy New Year, but he went this time because the country will undergo unprecedented changes this year, which is the legendary military system reform.
This is a pilot project, and he has no confidence. It is not reliable to rely on the royal family alone. He must have the support of bigwigs from all walks of life. Even if he does not support it, he needs their acquiescence.
Just like the first-hand civil servant system reform that I played back then, he was all behind the military back then. This time he not only needed the support of civil servants, but also the support of military leaders from all walks of life.
Anyway, if this matter cannot be completed, the problem of mutiny in the Song Dynasty will not be cut off, and the rebellion, as one of the confusing behaviors of human beings, will continue.
It’s not going to be a wall, but it’s not going to rush to the door to talk about politics and ideals with others. Since this is the case, it’s better to do business. All the pros and cons are here. Anyway, they agree to do it, but they don’t agree to kill them first.
The Ministry of War had to go first, but fortunately, the Ministry of War is his own, and Lao Zhang still serves as the Minister of War. He is an honest person and no one hates him, so he sits very steadily in this position.
As soon as Song Beiyun entered the door, he saw Lao Zhang walking in the yard with a child in his arms. Xiao Song was stunned when he saw it: "Zhang Qing gave birth so soon?"
"Nothing nonsense... This is the descendant of my eldest son." Old Zhang rolled his eyes: "What's the point of Mr. Song here today?"
"What is the marquis who are not marquis? Lord Zhang really likes to joke." Xiao Song said with a smile on his face, "Master Zhang won't invite me in?"
Lao Zhang handed his grandson to his servant and Song Beiyun and walked into the room one after another. Although Lao Zhang was honest, he was one of the six ministers and had a lot of political wisdom. When he saw Song Beiyun's posture, he knew that he would either have something to discuss or ask for something to ask for.
Old Zhang may not be able to eat something that Song Beiyun can ask for, and Song Beiyun must know in his heart, so he must have something to discuss when he comes here.
When facing his own people, Song Beiyun didn't have those messy things. The rough content was to discuss the military system reform with him.
"This is a good thing, but it is not easy to execute." Old Zhang twisted his beard and his face was full of seriousness: "The top priority here is your father-in-law and master, Prince Fu."
Xiao Song nodded slightly, while Lao Zhang continued, "But with Prince Fu's enlightenment, this matter is not a big problem, it's just that the King of Hell is easy to see."
This is the difficulty in Xiao Song's entire plan. Prince Fu has led his troops for 30 years and has countless generals under his command. Now these generals are almost all senior generals from various places. They have sold their lives for the Song Dynasty for a lifetime. Now they suddenly say that they want to remove them or their subordinates. No one can hold on.
"But as Lord Song said, the military system is old, and the ban, ban, township, and foreign soldiers do not take care of each other. There are many people fighting openly and secretly. There are often cases of private transactions of food, grass, salt and soil as the town. Ten out of a hundred people are empty-handed, but the Ministry of War knows it but can't do anything." When Lao Zhang said this, he couldn't help but sigh: "If it is really possible to change the military system as Lord Song said, it would be a good thing."
"I will take the lead on the prince's side, but Lord Zhang also knows that I have a bad reputation in the court. This matter is not something that can be done by one person. I hope..."
"It's easy to say." Old Zhang said with a smile: "For the benefit of the country, I should be obliged to do my duty, but..."
"Tell me, what is Lord Zhang want?"
"You see, my Ministry of Works is also opening a workshop, but the current workshop is jointly operated by the three yamen, and the Ministry of Works cannot make the decision, but the Ministry of Works has really lacked people and skills, so it cannot be implemented."
"Okay, okay, after the New Year, I will transfer a team of top experts from Chang'an Workshop."
"Oh, Lord Song, don't be sad. Everyone is sharing the worries for the country." Old Zhang happily rubbed his hands: "There is almost that thing in the Workshop of the Ministry of Works... it's that yellow and white thing."
"Okay! Chang'an Workshop has invested 3 million yuan."
Chapter completed!
