Shangyang Palace on the shore of Xuanwu Lake

Zhu Lian sat on a high-backed soft chair, elegantly sipping the wine in the jade glass, calm and relaxed, looking leisurely.

The blade of the years has not left too many scars on her face, it is still so beautiful, and it looks more and more noble and holy.

Wang Xiu sat quietly on the side, looking a little tired, silent, as if quietly enjoying the tranquility.

Zhu Lian looked at Wang Xiu resentfully, and from that increasingly thin face, he could feel the anxiety after being haggard. However, she has become accustomed to Wang Xiu's calmness, she is no longer young, many things need to be worked together, and the wind and snow have become secondary.

It's just that since Wang Xiu returned to Xingzai, she faintly felt that when the two were alone, they didn't see the passion of the past, and I really wanted to ask what's wrong, can the pig-killing knife of the years really cut off emotions?

"Official, there are some things that you still have to let go, don't let yourself work too hard."

"Time is running out, seize the day." Wang Xiu glanced at Zhu Lian, and there was nostalgia in the depths of his eyelids, and there was a hint of tenderness, but it was cleverly hidden.

"How's it going?" Zhu Lianxiu frowned slightly, knowing Wang Xiu's troubles.

"As soon as the situation is carried out, oh, last year's treasury revenue was discounted by 20,000 guan, and if it is very different, it will increase by 10 million guan this year."

"The Three Buddhas are calm, I don't know what will happen to the Japanese people?" Zhu Lian's eyes were soft, she was very homesick and the country was prosperous, and Wang Xiu was less tired.

"The South China Sea is still being developed, and the twelve military states are the twelve military states, and I think they have used their efforts to divide the land, as long as they can survive it, there will be no major event." Wang Xiu groaned slightly, and said: "As for the Japanese people, I think the third child of the Wu family is also a talent, and he will definitely be able to applaud the Ping and Yuan families." ”

"Brother of the Wu family, is he okay?" Zhu Lian couldn't help but be a little puzzled, Wang Xiu's evaluation of Wu Xuan was too high, so she couldn't believe that the reputation of that guy was not too good.

Wang Xiu shook his head, people can be changed, what the Wa country lacks is excellent armor and goods, and some are gold and silver mines. As long as Wu Xuan comes up with dry goods, I believe that he will be able to maneuver between the public office and the peace clan and the Genji clan.

The key is that this kid's mouth has also been trained, with his three-inch incorruptible tongue, with the support of strong material and military force, he will inevitably become a figure valued by the strength of all factions, as long as he is not without a brain, he can do things well.

He understood that during this period, the internal struggle of the Wa Kingdom intensified, and as long as Wu Xuan gained a firm foothold, it would be followed by the sea ships of the Great Song Dynasty, as well as the deepening control of the war.

There is reason to believe that playing with the small island in applause, a large amount of gold and silver flowed into the imperial court, coupled with the development of large-scale gold mines in the South China Sea, to the greatest extent to support the issuance of treasure banknotes, more to complete the primitive accumulation of capital, no longer to squeeze domestic value, but to promote the reproduction of the Chinese people, so that more people can go out.

"You can do what you say, but you have to be cautious in trying out the treasure money, and you have to come up with a way."

Wang Xiu frowned slightly, and was also a little annoyed, he wanted a gold standard monetary policy, but the start was not very smooth, the weakness of the support of the treasure banknotes, and the strength of Jiaozi, all made Yiqiē in a state of confusion.

However, the copper money is indeed unbearable for the rapid development of the economy, Jiaozi is congenitally insufficient, the implementation of the treasure money is imperative, no matter how he solves the immediate crisis, we must wait until the treasury has sufficient accumulation, and then gradually realize the monetary system with gold and silver as the silver root, the South China Sea and the Japanese country is the key to excess, and development is the long-term guarantee.

Plunder, of course, can quickly accumulate wealth and complete primitive accumulation, but without industry and commerce that can digest and produce industrial chains, even if there is more wealth, it will be slowly lost.

At this time, he was thinking about gold and silver, but not desperately longing, and set his sights on copper, rubber, and those economic deposits, as well as oil for the future, which were indispensable for development.

At present, there is still the most important issue, that is, the two silver laws to promote the development of agriculture and mulberry, encourage science and technology to transform the development of industry and commerce, reverse the deformed economy little by little, let the Great Song Dynasty return to the right track, pay equal attention to industry and commerce, agriculture, and quickly absorb overseas wealth, so as to achieve the goal of enriching the country and the people.

After getting over the difficulties first, he took a deep breath and said lightly: "I already have an idea, but I am not very mature." ”

"Let's talk about it." Zhu Liandai raised her eyebrows and looked at Wang Xiu with interest.

Wang Xiu shook his head and said with a playful smile: "Don't say, don't say." ”

"I know that if I don't say it, I won't say it, I'm too lazy to ask." Zhu Lian rolled his eyes at Wang Xiu, and seemed to remember something, and said: "Overseas military states have expanded a lot, but what is the best way to control it?" ”

Wang Xiu has long considered this issue, and has also hesitated to establish twelve military states, mainly because the current means of communication and transportation are absolutely impossible to effectively control, although he has the idea of a vassal state, but he cannot but consider the vassal state.

Sometimes, compared with those vassal states, although the imperial court could not control the vassals, they could achieve the process of mutual benefit, and the vassal states had a greater centripetal force and greater ambitions for Middle-earth, which required the imperial court to be more cautious.

However, at this stage, it is necessary to consider internal affairs, only when the family and country are strong, can they have the ability to take care of the world, and now said: "The two governments should also be adjusted." ”

"There will be no Northern Expedition for a while, and you have to make such a big adjustment?" Zhu Lian was a little puzzled, the current court is very stable, and there is no need to adjust it at all.

"There are more monks and less meat, and the local government has to merge the yamen, so a group of new people are needed."

With the victory of the war in the northwest, the call for the Northern Expedition became louder and louder, and the imperial court also entered the final preparations. However, during the period, it is necessary to accumulate steadily, transform technological advantages into development advantages, break through bottlenecks and achieve qualitative changes, and the time must be grasped well.

"It's up to you, I think the official family is also much more stable, isn't it time to add some burden?" Zhu Lian's tone was a little cautious.

Wang Xiuwan smiled, he could hear the heart of a mother, unwilling to let her son become mediocre, but he had a different opinion, and said wittily: "Do you know the ability of Emperor Renzong of the Zhao family?" ”

"Oh." Zhu Lian was a little distracted, and couldn't help but say: "Naturally, I know that I don't know anything, I can only be an official." ”

"That's right, you know your brother, at best, he is a Chinese-funded monarch, do you think it's a good thing to monopolize power? Even if there is a British lord, do you dare to guarantee that there will be no mediocrity? Wang Xiu stared at Zhu Lian's eyes and said calmly: "Lady, wouldn't it be good to let the officials of the past dynasties only be officials." ”

Complaining eyes flashed, and Zhu Lian said bitterly: "What you said is also reasonable, and the corporal is also very supportive, but he has wronged the official family." ”

"Not aggrieved at all." Wang Xiu shook his head and said regretfully: "Back then, he could persevere, not give up Zhang Qiyuan, and maybe he could make a difference, a monarch without responsibility will never succeed." ”
