Chapter 2462 You still have to take the blame
"Fan Yong?"
This person's ability is quite good, and his butt is not crooked. In addition to ensuring logistics, he also did his best when Cao Qian was sent as an envoy to Tibet.
Having accomplished two meritorious deeds in a row should indeed be well rewarded.
"After his term of office expires, he will be transferred to the Third Division and appointed as the deputy envoy of the Third Division."
Nowadays, there are more people from the Ding Party in the Sansi Yamen. Although Li Jie is not worried about Ding Wei usurping power, it is not the same thing to always let the Ding Party occupy so many important positions.
However, Fan Yong was not part of Ding Wei's party. For him to serve as the deputy envoy of the Third Department was tantamount to reducing the power of Ding Wei's party in disguise.
In addition, Li Jie also intended to hand over the tea law reform to Fan Yong for supervision.
As for Wang Qinruo, who was previously in charge of supervision, he had other purposes.
When Cao Wei returns to the court, Li Jie plans to let him enter the two houses and serve as deputy privy envoy.
It is not unexpected to place Cao Wei in the position of Deputy Privy Councilor. As early as the fourth year of Tianxi reign, Cao Wei had served as a minister of the Privy Council.
As a Privy Councilor, his duty is to be one of the deputies of the Privy Councilor, and his status is the same as that of the Deputy Privy Councilor.
The reason why he is not directly called the Deputy Privy Councilor, but called the Privy Councilor, is entirely because of his seniority.
It seems that he is the second in command of the Privy Council.
And this is also one of the advantages of the Song Dynasty system.
If a certain official has sufficient ability but insufficient qualifications, he can be promoted in this way.
For example, so-and-so Quan and such-and-such official are all in this category.
What matters is flexibility.
"Deputy envoy to the Third Department?"
Hearing this, Liu E couldn't help but be a little surprised.
In the past, most of the yamen of the Third Division were Ding Wei's party members. Not only did the officials show no intention of changing, but they pushed Zu Shiheng to the position of chief official of the Third Division.
But now, the officials want Fan Yong to serve as the deputy envoy of the Third Department.
Could it be that Ding Wei and others made some mistake?
On the other side, seeing the confusion in Liu E's eyes, Li Jie took out a letter from his chest.
"Madam, please read this letter first."
"Um?"
Seeing the cover of the letter, Liu E recognized the handwriting on it at a glance.
This is Kou Zhun's handwriting!
The letter was indeed sent by Kou Zhun, and it was sent through the expedited channel. It was forwarded directly to the palace without going through the Tongjin Si Yamen.
This channel was deliberately reserved by Li Jie for Kou Zhun. Originally, this channel was reserved for the reform of the imperial examination system.
However, the content of this letter has nothing to do with the reform of the imperial examination system, but is related to the Sansi Yamen.
Kou Zhun didn't know where he got the news, and he knew that the Sansi Yamen was going to make some fuss about the expense reduction.
Then, he wrote a letter and revealed the matter to Li Jie.
Although Li Jie did not instruct Li Jie on the matter of write-offs, increasing the write-off ratio can indeed ease next year's finances.
Therefore, Li Jie was prepared to turn a blind eye to this matter.
But, now, it's hard for him to do that.
After reading the contents of the letter, Liu E said dumbly.
"This Zu Shiheng is quite a talent, he can actually come up with such a method."
This may seem like a compliment, but if combined with Liu E's tone, it has a different flavor.
Obviously, Liu E didn't quite agree with this matter.
The dynasty and the scholar-officials jointly govern the world. The literati-officials are the foundation for the dynasty to govern the world. If their interests are affected, wouldn't it run counter to the national policy?
Immediately afterwards, Liu E changed her eyes and asked what Li Jie meant.
"How do the officials plan to deal with it?"
"Zu Shiheng is originally the third envoy of Quan. If the criticism is too great next year, let him leave his post."
Li Jie was not prepared to rectify the expense issue immediately.
The reason for continuing to implement the deduction was not because Li Jie was short of money. He just wanted to take this opportunity to test his qualities as a scholar-bureaucrat.
Soon, he will ask the Imperial City Secretary to spread some public opinion that "the national situation is difficult".
Didn’t the scholar-bureaucrats consciously rule the world together with the emperor?
As one of the protagonists, if the family encounters difficulties, should we save money together?
If you don’t even have this awareness, how can you still talk about ruling the world together?
People who can only share joys and sorrows are not worthy of talking about these things.
"Are we short of money?"
When Liu E heard this, her first thought was not whether it was reasonable, but worried about finances.
In June, Liu E officially handed over the management of the inner treasury to Li Jie. Since then, she has not paid much attention to the inner treasury.
But when I think about it carefully, it's not quite right. When it was handed over to the inner treasury, although the money in the inner treasury was not abundant, it was definitely not a shortage.
Even if you add in the war in the northwest and the rewards after the war, there should still be a lot of money left.
"There is still a lot of money left in the internal treasury, so there is no shortage of money."
"What about the cutoff?"
"That's right."
With that said, Li Jie began to explain the intention.
After listening to this narration, Liu E didn't come back to her senses for a long time. She was a little unable to turn around. Why did she do this?
Is it necessary to test this matter?
If something unexpected happens, wouldn't it shake the foundation of the country?
In fact, it is normal for Liu E not to understand. After all, she was deeply influenced by Zhenzong, and Zhenzong was deeply influenced by Taizong.
Emphasizing culture and suppressing military force is the basic national policy inherited from Zhao and Song Dynasties.
After three dynasties, when she arrived at Liu E's place, she naturally felt that this was the right thing to do, the truth, and the unshakable ancestral law.
But Liu E obviously didn't know what kind of negative consequences would come from emphasizing culture and suppressing military force.
One general is incompetent and the three armies will be exhausted!
The Song Dynasty's unfavorable external affairs were partly attributable to the national policy of emphasizing culture and restraining military force.
How did Di Qing, a famous general with great military exploits, die?
After being dismissed as Privy Councilor, he died of fear!
Did Di Qing make any big mistakes during his tenure as Privy Councilor?
No!
The fault lies in the fact that he is a military official, and he is from the lowest level of martial arts.
Therefore, he was deeply ostracized by the civil service group.
After looking at Di Qing's treatment, let's look at another person - Han Qi.
As the person primarily involved in the defeat of Haoshuichuan, Han Qi's wrong decision directly cost the lives of tens of thousands of troops.
Han Qi, who made such a big mistake, eventually rose from general to prime minister, serving as three envoys, envoy to the privy council, and prime minister.
A minister who had never made any serious mistakes died of fear in the end, while a man who ruined tens of thousands of troops rose to the rank of prime minister.
This shows how strict the Song Dynasty’s civil and military prohibitions were.
If this phenomenon does not change, even if there is no Han Qi in the future, there will still be Li Qi and Zhang Qi making the same mistake.

Ying Tianfu.
At this time, Fan Zhongyan was writing furiously in the study.
Looking at the measures taken by the officials after they ascended the throne, including the Huimin Bureau, the construction of water conservancy projects, the changing of tea laws, the reduction of redundant troops, the establishment of schools, the Battle of Xiaoguan, and a series of other policies, these government affairs all confirm a fact.
The official family is wise and wise, and the Spring and Autumn Period has flourished. The Queen Mother should return to New Kun, and the official family should be in charge!
[The Queen Mother was bequeathed by the late Emperor, supported the Holy One, and listened to the affairs of state... Now that the Spring and Autumn Period is long, she is fully aware of the hypocrisy of the world, and it is appropriate to take charge of the government...]
