Filial piety canceled many increases in expenditure, eliminated redundant officials, intensified the punishment of corrupt officials, strictly assessed officials, and even personally appointed and removed local middle and lower-level officials, and dismissed those who failed? Xiaozong tried to reduce unnecessary expenses, and often called the officials in charge of finance into the palace to inquire about various expenditures and incomes in detail and carefully check the specific accounts. If there is any discrepancy, we must get to the bottom of it? In order to get rid of the disadvantages, Song Xiaozong has always maintained a hands-on style? Of course, this is to concentrate power in your own hands, but as an emperor, it is very rare to be able to handle political affairs tirelessly from beginning to end.
Song Xiaozong pays attention to developing production and reducing people's burden? He not only issued many decrees to reduce the burden on the people, but also attached great importance to practical results? For example, from the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, the land tax in this tax season was often levied in advance. Is this called "pre-urging"? Although the summer tax is stipulated to be paid in August of 15, the Ministry in charge of taxation stipulates that it should be delivered to the capital Lin' an before the end of July. When it arrived in Song Xiaozong, it had been sent to the Ministry of Housing in May or even April, and all localities had to collect it in March and April. At this time, the crops are not fully mature. Although the imperial edict has been banned many times, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development does not implement it? Because, every April and May, we rely on this 665,438 438+ 10/00000 prepaid fee. If we don't advance, I'm afraid there will be a delay? So Gong, a politician, suggested that the 600,000 yuan originally borrowed from Nanku in August each year should be lent in early April. "the department is useless, but the disadvantages of pre-urging can be banned"? Song Xiaozong issued a letter, and then the land tax must be collected within the specified time, otherwise it will be illegal to fight? The problem of pre-urging, which had been delayed for many years, was finally solved with Song Xiaozong's personal intervention. At least in Song Xiaozong's time, there was a "lack of resources and leniency"?
At that time, local officials often offered money in the name of "envy", hoping to get the emperor's favor? Song Xiaozong does not accept the "envy" offered by local officials? However, in some places, some so-called "surplus grain" is regarded as a gift, while in Song Xiaozong, the money is regarded as a sacred decree, which is used as a tax for poor farmers, and officials are advised to do more practical things for the people?
Song Xiaozong often urges local officials to build water conservancy projects, but also pays attention to the actual effect of water conservancy projects, and punishes those officials who neglect their duties through demotion? According to historical data, Song Xiaozong's "building water conservancy projects exists in the present, and those who hear something will be rewarded, otherwise they will be punished. It is because the valley years are repeated and the fields are built. Although there are floods and droughts, the people have no food. " Although it is not without exaggeration, it generally reflects the situation at that time?
At the beginning of Song Xiaozong's accession to the throne, he immediately issued a letter to Huizi to affix the official seal of Longxing Minister's Office to show that the paper money was issued by the government accounting department, so as to increase its authority and promote its circulation? Thanks to proper policies, the currency value of paper money has remained stable and circulating, which not only promoted the development of commodity economy, but also reflected the social and economic prosperity of Song Xiaozong? Song Xiaozong not only vigorously develops production and builds water conservancy projects, but also ignores taxes? Since the establishment of Xinghua Army in Fujian Road for three years, more than 24,000 stones have been collected for Fuzhou in the name of "leftover rice" every year. Filial piety was reduced by half in the first year of Avenue, and all the rest was reduced in the eighth year of Avenue? For another example, from the late Tang Dynasty to the early Five Dynasties, when Tao Ya was a county magistrate, the extra "miscellaneous money" added by Huizhou was 65,438+2,000 yuan, which was collected for more than 260 years until the main road was exempted for 9 years?
At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, Song Xiaozong changed the academic policy of "cultivating one school and fighting one school". Wang Anshi, the mainstream school, and the emerging Neo-Confucianism, advocated inclusiveness and common development? After more than 30 years' silence, the Su-Shu school revived after the succession?
Song Xiaozong prefaced Su Shi's collected works and praised Su Shi's Wen Zhong? The Wending presented by Su Zhe to Mr. Su Shi promoted the development of Su Shi's Shu studies? It is Song Xiaozong who advocates a hundred schools of thought contend? The common development of academic environment makes each school have its own strengths? There are not only representatives of Neo-Confucianism, but also Wang Anshi and Wang Pei, the new scholars, and Su Shi, the scholar of Shu.
Because of this social environment, a large number of accomplished scholars have been created? At that time, there were not only famous thinkers Zhu? Lu Jiuyuan? Chen Liang? Ye Shi; And famous writers, such as Lu You? Fan Chengda? Yang Wanli? You Mao, a famous poet Xin Qiji, etc. Are active in the Song Xiaozong period.
Song Xiaozong rehabilitated Yue Fei's unjust imprisonment and recovered the Central Plains with hawks? To this end, he attached great importance to the development of the army, vigorously rectified the army and invigorated martial arts. In five years, he held three large-scale military parades, actively selected generals, and learned to ride and shoot himself? The fighting capacity of the southern song army was greatly improved?
He sent Fan Chengda and Zhao Xiong to Xu Jin? One is to go back to Henan, and the other is to change the etiquette of the Song Dynasty emperor personally going down to the temple to receive credentials when he accepted the envoy of the State of Jin? They were both rejected by Jin Shizong?
After Song Xiaozong failed to achieve the goal of peace, he had to rely on force to solve it, so he began to prepare for the battle again? Is he going to let Yu lead the army to attack from Sichuan and Shaanxi, and he will lead the army from Huainan and divide the soldiers into two ways to cut gold? While he was waiting for news from Yu, Yu died of illness in Sichuan? Song Xiaozong's plan fell through? At that time, Zhang Jun, the minister who advocated anti-gold, died before the peace talks and turned to Yu Jun, who directed the quarrying war. Song Xiaozong decided to take it separately from Jianghuai? Sichuan's strategy of attacking gold was promoted from east to west, so it was appointed as Sichuan's ambassador? The year before last, Song Xiaozong moved Ma Junsi, one of Sanya's guards, to Jiankang, taking Jiankang as the forward base of Song Jun East Road? After his death, although he trained the whole army and actively prepared to attack gold, he attacked many times by accepting the unequal ceremony of the credentials of the Jin Dynasty in an attempt to intensify contradictions and trigger military confrontation? However, Song Xiaozong went north to resist gold? The idea of recovering the Central Plains was not only opposed by Emperor Song Gaozong, but also not supported by ministers. Every time, the emperor's father has a purpose, but he still listens. Song Xiaozong, who is famous for his filial piety, can't not listen at all? Later, Emperor Song Gaozong, who had been restricting Song Xiaozong, died at the age of 8 1, and Song Xiaozong was in his 60s? Song Xiaozong deserves to be a descendant of Song Taizu and Zhao Kuangyin. He turned his back on Song Gaozong's servile surrender route and was bent on restoring the Central Plains. His enterprising and vigorous spirit is commendable?
During Song Xiaozong's administration, he actively rectified the bureaucracy, eliminated redundant staff, punished corruption, strengthened centralization and attached importance to agricultural production? Generally speaking, during the reign of Song Xiaozong, the Southern Song Dynasty was the clearest politically and economically. The most prosperous period of culture?
