After hearing these words, Zhang Dun next to him quickly lowered his head to show his humility.
Wang Jing's eyes fell on Zhang Dun, his eyes full of admiration. This prime minister in the Northern Song Dynasty was comparable to Wang Anshi, the reformer, in terms of influence on the Northern Song Dynasty.
Wang Anshi was responsible for the reform, while Zhang Dun was responsible for conquering Qingtang of Tubo, suppressing Xixia, and almost annihilating the country. Their civil and martial arts were top-notch in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Even Fan Zhongyan, who was so famous and given the posthumous title Wenzheng, could not compare with Zhang Dun in terms of his achievements.
To be honest, for such a wise minister with the talents of a prime minister, serving as an official and judge in Taizhou Prefecture is really an underestimation of his talents and overestimating his talents.
What the prefect Zhao Zhen said was absolutely correct.
Zhang Dun played a huge role in making Taizhou Prefecture what it is today.
"Okay! Having such a virtuous minister helping me is not only a blessing to the orphans, but also a blessing to the people!"
Wang Jing laughed and patted Zhang Dun on the shoulder to express his satisfaction.
When everyone around him saw this, their evaluation of Zhang Dun rose again, because the king was very satisfied with him and had already remembered his name in his heart.
This is called simplicity in the heart of the emperor.
Of course, the people around him also knew that Zhang Dun himself was a famous prime minister in history. He also participated in the Huai Army's first imperial examination and was a disciple of the emperor.
With the blessing of two aspects, as long as Zhang Dun can display his abilities normally, he will definitely become a core minister of the Huai Army in the future.
After Wang Jing visited Taizhou Mansion, he did not stay here for too long.
Next he went to Taixing Mansion.
Taixing Mansion and Jingkou in the south of the Yangtze River echo each other from a distance, with a Jiangxin Island in between. Looking around, merchant ships are constantly going back and forth on the river, carrying various commodities and supplies.
"We made an agreement with Liu Laozhi and Liu Yilong that we would exchange food and weapons for the other party's ores, elixirs, human beings and various valuable materials... After Liu Yu arrived, the other party had already stopped the human force. Increased the share of ore elixirs..."
Wang Jing and others entered Taixing Mansion and first inspected the city and the water village barracks by the river. Then they came to the pier on the bank of the river and looked towards the opposite side where the mist was thick.
There were many strong men on the dock constantly carrying supplies under the command of soldiers, and there were also some private merchant ships.
Most of them came from the powerful families of the Southern Dynasty and Song Dynasty, and some even transported people privately in exchange for food and money.
Although Liu Yu banned the export of the population, most of his subordinates were dignitaries from aristocratic families. For the sake of their own interests, these people acted in secret and overtly, and they dared to play tricks on Liu Yu.
The person responsible for liaison with Jingkou was Wu Yong.
After Pei Ju became the minister of the Ministry of Rites and the director of the Department of Foreign Affairs, his deputy director felt a little disappointed, so through Qiao Xuan's relationship, he was transferred to Taizhou to be responsible for trade matters with the Southern Dynasty and Song Dynasty.
Wu Yong's official position was also promoted to the position of Doctor of the Ministry of Household Affairs. The money and food flowing through his hands every day was an astronomical figure.
However, although Wu Yong was born in Liangshan, he was not greedy by nature.
After serving as a doctor in the Ministry of Household Affairs and responsible for Taizhou's trade, he was meticulous and selfless in his work. Many officials who could not be controlled were sent directly to the Supervision Department in the province for supervision.
At this time, it was Wu Yong who introduced the situation here to everyone.
"Liu Yu's vision and methods are many times better than Liu Yilong's. It's a pity that Liu Yu personally led the troops to compete with Zhu Yuanzhang, but there were many powerful people behind him to dig up the foundation. In this regard, he is not as good as Zhu Yuanzhang!"
Wang Jing sighed slightly.
Liu Yu was decisive and decisive on the battlefield, and his bravery was comparable to that of an overlord.
But in terms of governing the country, his methods cannot be compared with Zhu Yuanzhang. He has a tough personality, but always likes to leave a little leeway for others.
If Liu Yu and Zhu Yuanzhang were to change their positions, and Zhu Yuanzhang became the monarch of the Southern Dynasty and Song Dynasty, those powerful families who dug the foundation of the imperial court and acted against the will will definitely be bloodbathed.
The blue sky is full of true colors, but the dark clouds are replaced by sunny days.
After cleaning up the powerful and powerful families that were in the way, the dynasty, although temporarily weak, established a solid foundation.
In the last years of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, officials and local powerful people joined forces to create a state of decay. The people were in dire straits, and most of Zhu Yuanzhang's family died of starvation.
This kind of collusion between the imperial court and local powerful people is very similar to that of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, when aristocratic families suppressed imperial power and dominated the common people.
But after Liu Yu started his career, he compromised with aristocratic families and forced the Emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to abdicate, thus becoming an emperor.
During this process, the aristocratic families were not cleansed.
The children of the aristocratic family only reluctantly cooperated under Liu Yu's majesty and military strength.
When Liu Yu died, the four auxiliary ministers who stayed behind directly deposed the emperor and established a new emperor, and even killed the deposed emperor without ceremony. There is no emotion at all.
This also led to the Southern Song Dynasty, which had a very strong family background, to rapidly weaken in the process of fighting each other for the throne. Tuoba Tao of the Northern Wei Dynasty, who was suppressed by Liu Yu at the beginning, also became very arrogant and drank the Yangtze River, fighting all the way to the north bank of the Yangtze River. , taking away a large area of territory.
Zhu Yuanzhang, like Liu Yu, came from a humble background, but he had the courage to change the sun and the moon into a new sky, and a ruthless heart that could wipe out the world with blood.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty were fighting each other. In terms of their ability to lead troops, the combination of Liu Yu and Liu Laozhi was still superior to Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da.
But in terms of internal affairs, even though Liu Muzhi was one of the few virtuous ministers in the world, he could not compare with the Ming Dynasty.
Because the Ming Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty had different systems, most of the officials in the Southern Dynasty and Song Dynasty were wealthy families. If they wanted to be ruthless in governing, it would only lead to a great loss of power, and they would be defeated by the Ming army.
After reading the history books, both Liu Yu and Liu Muzhi knew their shortcomings. But the princes in the south of the Yangtze River were competing and there was no time to adjust.
"Liu Yu is a Mingjun. If he were not a monarch, his ability to command troops would be among the best in history. He is even better than Xu Da and Chang Yuchun of the Ming army. And the current prime minister is Liu Muzhi...Liu Muzhi is This is Wang Zuo's talent, his decisiveness is as smooth as Zhang Liang's and Xiao He's. With this king and his ministers, they can block the Ming army's eastward advance for at least a few years!"
Gao Xi said from the side.
And with the abilities of Liu Yu and Liu Muzhi, as long as they negotiate peace with Zhu Yuanzhang in the future and have time to deal with internal affairs and resolve the threat of powerful families, the national power of the Southern Dynasty and Song Dynasty will continue to increase.
"Well, Liu Yu's ability to command troops is indeed superior to that of Xu Da and Chang Yuchun..."
Wang Jing nodded slightly.
Su Weiyangkan said it right.
If you want to step into Jiangnan, you must take advantage of the time when Liu Yu and Zhu Yuanzhang are fighting. Otherwise, when Liu Yu takes action, none of Wang Jing's famous generals and fierce generals will be his opponent.
If you want to win, you can only rely on the mighty army and send most of the generals to fight head-on.
In the thousands of years of history of the Origin World, there are as many famous generals and generals as stars in history, among which the ones with the highest recognized status are Sun Wu, Han Bai, Wei Huo and Li Yue.
Along with Bai Qi, Li Mu and Wang Jian were among the four famous generals of the Warring States Period... as well as the famous generals from past dynasties who were included in the Wucheng Temple to accompany King Wucheng.
These famous generals are all chosen for the moment and will shine through the ages.
However, there are still some people whose abilities are not inferior to those of famous martial arts generals, but they cannot be compared with these famous generals because of their status, such as Li Shimin, Liu Yu, Cao Cao, Sima Yi and others.
