Chapter 999: Never Hire Within Three Generations

Officials of the Song Dynasty particularly like to resign from office!

This kind of dismissal and resignation is similar to the modern Hong Kong gangs where gangsters go to Stanley Prison for further training.

It seems that only by resigning from office once can one maintain hope.

Only by resigning and resting at home can one express that he becomes an official for the sake of the people and the country, not for fame and fortune.

Speaking of which, among Yang Wang's ministers, there were quite a few outstanding ones, and in later generations, they would all be famous figures in history.

For example, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang and Bao Zheng!
Among them, Bao Zheng passed the imperial examination at the age of 28 and became an official at the age of 38.

His reason was "While my parents are still alive, I will not travel far away". In order to support his parents, he would rather not become an official.

A few years later, Bao Zheng's parents passed away and he began to mourn for them again.

When the mourning period was over, although Bao Zheng had not yet served as an official for a day, he had already become famous throughout the world through his ten years of reputation.

Sima Guang used the excuse of "writing a book" to hide in Luoyang for more than ten years. Through a book "Zizhi Tongjian", he became the "leader of the Red Party".

If we say that Bao Zheng cultivated his reputation through "filial piety" and Sima Guang cultivated his reputation through "books", then their reasons are still justified!

Then Wang Anshi’s method of cultivating reputation is a bit disgusting.

During the reigns of Emperor Renzong of Song and Emperor Yingzong of Song, the court "recruited" him many times.

However, Wang Anshi used various reasons to refuse and waited for more than 20 years until Song Shenzong ascended the throne before he came out.

And the first move he made was the "Wang Anshi Reform" that shocked the world.

It is precisely because of examples like Bao Zheng, Sima Guang and Wang Anshi that officials in the Song Dynasty now often find reasons to resign and return home to recuperate.

Su Mingzhe, the newly appointed 'CEO' of Song Dynasty, is particularly disgusted with this kind of behavior of running away at the slightest provocation!

After all, in Su Mingzhe's view, these people were just using the excuse of resigning and returning home to raise their hopes to fight against the "Beijing Inspection and Grand Plan" that he had come up with.

Su Mingzhe had no intention of accommodating these officials who embarrassed him.

Su Mingzhe ordered the superiors of anyone who resigned to try to retain them three times.

After three times, officials who still insist on resigning will be allowed to leave.

At one time, there were countless people who resigned from their posts and returned home.

After these officials were dismissed, Su Mingzhe secretly asked the Ministry of Personnel to write down their names and also asked them to write down a sentence:

"In my dynasty, except for those who have returned home to mourn, all other people who resign will never be employed again!"

"Moreover, none of their descendants for three generations will be hired!"

Su Mingzhe's words were addressed to the Minister of Personnel.

But the next day, all the civil and military officials in Kaifeng City knew about it.

After that, basically everyone who should know knew.

At this time, if anyone still insists on resigning, he or she will be cutting off the entire family from Su Mingzhe's dynasty.

After solving the problems of civil and military officials, Su Mingzhe continued his "ruling with ease".

Now with the silver from Iwami Silver Mine as support, the Song Dynasty can do a lot of things.

For example, they could purchase horses, sheep, and goats from Khitan and Xixia to reserve military strength.

Buy rice and paddy from Dali and Nanyue to prepare for disaster years.

Organize the people to vigorously develop industrial infrastructure, water conservancy construction, road construction, basic education, etc. to increase the foundation of the Song Dynasty.

There are so many things that the Song Dynasty needs to do.

Su Mingzhe simply didn't have time to waste on playing psychological warfare with those court bureaucrats.

May.

Pushed by a group of dignitaries, Su Mingzhe "retired after success" and retired from the position of Dengzhou Navy Commander as a "founding duke", returned to Kaifeng, and took charge of the Imperial City Administration.

When the clone brought Mu Wanqing, A Zi and Qin Hongmian back to Kaifeng Mansion, the original mansion had been expanded.

Except for Li Qingluo's mansion, all other surrounding mansions were included in the new residence of the Su Mansion.

Mu Wanqing and A Zi, two girls, accompanied the man to walk around the new courtyard. For the past six months, the three women have been staying with Su Mingzhe in Iwami Silver Mountain, and they are almost suffocated.

Now that I’m back in the bustling and lively Kaifeng, I just want to make myself comfortable.

Su Mingzhe played with the two girls for a while, and suddenly heard bursts of pleasant string music coming from next door, and he couldn't help but stop:
"In the blink of an eye, I have been neighbors with Widow Wang for more than half a year, but I haven't visited her yet. It's a bit rude. Why don't I go to the next door tonight to make up for missing her for so many days."

Thinking about going to chat with Li Qingluo in the evening, Su Mingzhe no longer had the heart to continue to patrol the mansion.

In the blink of an eye, it has been almost two years since I came into this world.

Su Mingzhe is quite satisfied with his current life.

In the court, all the civil and military officials were working hard, fearing that they would be the first official to be executed after the implementation of the "Beijing Inspection and Great Plan".

Among the border troops, the troops of the Zhong family, Zhe family, Lu family, Guo family, Zhang family and others were all fat and strong. They submitted reports time and time again, either calling for the conquest of Tubo or the recovery of Western Xia.

Although Su Mingzhe also wanted to recover these two territories as soon as possible, the rice purchased from South Vietnam and Dali had not yet filled the granaries, so the war had to be suspended.

In the martial arts world, the Zhenlong chess game that was supposed to appear on Leigushan Mountain was cracked by a captain from the Imperial City Division sent by Su Mingzhe.

The masters of the thirty-six caves and the seventy-two islands have already captured the Child-Father of Tianshan and are preparing for the Conference of Ten Thousand Immortals.

Su Mingzhe planned to go and snatch back the Child-Fairy from Tianshan after tonight.

In a blink of an eye, night falls.

Su Mingzhe quietly came to Li Qingluo's boudoir next door.

After a night of fun.

Su Mingzhe left a comment of "Sure enough, he is very fierce" and left with satisfaction.

Li Qingluo tidied herself up in a state of half awake and half asleep, then she dressed and went to rest.

the next day.

Su Mingzhe came to the imperial study to deal with memorials and also called the newly appointed prime minister Su Song.

Like Fan Chunren, Su Song was from the old party but belonged to the royalist faction.

In addition, Su Song was also a versatile person, proficient in astronomy, geography, astrology, medicine, divination, mechanics and physics.

The two sides ended the greetings.

Su Mingzhe offered him a seat and tea, and then told him what he wanted Su Song to do:
"Prime Minister Su, the summer flood season is coming. I have thought about it and decided that I can only entrust the important task of preventing the Yellow River from flooding to you!"

"I, as an old minister, will devote myself to the cause until my death!"

Su Song is already seventy-one or seventy-two years old.

Even at such an old age, he still has to run around to treat yellowing.

If you are not careful, you might end up working for a cause until your death.

Su Mingzhe is not a miser who only lets the horse run but not eat grass.

With a wave of his hand, the eunuch Feng Jing who was serving beside him quickly handed over a box of pills:
"Prime Minister Su, here is a box of health-preserving pills. They are helpful in regulating the internal organs. Keep them with you for future use. If you are running low on energy, you can take one!"

"Thank you, old minister, for your grace!"

Before Su Song took office as the Prime Minister of the Capital, he was in charge of the Imperial Medical Bureau, so he was naturally familiar with the health-preserving pills.

Ever since the Empress Dowager passed away, the Emperor ordered the imperial doctors to develop more than a dozen kinds of elixirs for strengthening the body, replenishing qi and maintaining health.

It is said that the effect is amazing.

Wen Yanbo, this old fellow, was over eighty years old. After taking a box of Peiyuan Dan, he immediately regained his vigor and that night he became "a more stunning figure than a beautiful woman".

The next morning, everyone in the Wen family was worried whether their master would pass away.

As a result, everyone saw the old man Wen Yanbo walking out of the bedroom in high spirits.

When the old ministers in the court learned about this, they all wanted to go to the palace to ask for a box for themselves.

Unfortunately, the emperor was a bit too stingy. After the elixir was made, he only rewarded a few boxes and gave them to some old ministers who had made outstanding contributions.

Now, the government has rewarded me with a box, which shows that the government values ​​me!
After Su Song expressed his gratitude, he carefully put away the pills and then said goodbye and left.
