Cai Jing didn't speak, of course Wang Xiu couldn't speak without permission, don't talk about the majesty of this old man, as a junior, in front of an old man who was two generations taller, it was very rude to speak without asking.

Time passed little by little in silence, Wang Xiu felt more and more pressure, slandering Cai Jing for not being authentic, obviously using the power of the superior to oppress people, it was not terrible to speak harshly, what people couldn't stand the most was silence.

When he was about to take it anymore, Cai Jing's old voice came: "Nine steps into a chapter, the old man wants to take a look, you can fill in the lyrics." ”

It's the word filling again, and it's still over! Wang Xiu couldn't help but have a headache, but the old lady's request couldn't be refused, and it was obvious that people were tempting. He admired Cai Jing's old spiciness, looking at people's minds and grasping the heat can be called perfect, using silence to kill the sharpness of others, and then attacking and tempting with heavy punches, he had to whisper: "A little trick, show off in front of others, how dare you show it in front of Xianggong." ”

Cai Jing's eyes flickered, and he smiled meaningfully: "Young people don't have to be too humble, the old man listens." ”

"The students who said it were ashamed." Wang Xiu thought about it, it was better to honestly learn from the ranking, he pretended to ponder for a moment, and said softly: "The sick bones are fragmented, the yarn hat is wide, and the lonely minister is thousands of miles away." The humble did not dare to forget the country, and the matter must still be closed. The gods of heaven and earth support the temple society, and the father of Yanshan looks at and luan. "Out of the Teacher" is a table through the present and the ancient, and the lights are picked up in the middle of the night to look more closely. After speaking, he gave Cai Jing a deep bow and said, "I hope that the prince will give him advice." ”

Changing Jinghua to Yanshan has a big purpose, he has been in this world for a year, and he knows a lot. Since the Jurchen chieftain Wanyan Agu rebelled, the Liao army was defeated in successive battles, and four of the five capitals were lost.

The Great Song Dynasty made several northern expeditions, and Zhao Ji wanted to recover the thirteen states of Jibei to smear a heavy stroke on the annals of Danqing and achieve his prestige as a unified emperor, Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others were active supporters. However, Cai Jing is already an old man, and under the competition for favor of the new generation of magnates, he has gradually lost his former glory.

This poem can be said to be an attempt by Wang Xiu, not only to compliment Cai Jing, but most importantly to tentatively cater to the above's intentions. There is no right or wrong in the world, and there is no absolute enmity, but it is just success or failure.

"Wonderful, it's really exquisite, the old man doesn't dare to say that the words are elegant, but he is also a Jinshi, and he can't change a word." Cai Jing's literary family, I didn't really believe that Wang Xiu made a chapter in nine steps, even if he was a famous person in the literary world, he had to repeatedly scrutinize a poem, and it was not nonsense to export a chapter!

Where did he think that Wang Xiu's mouth was amazing, even he couldn't change a word, how could he not be surprised, even if the city was very deep, he couldn't help but engrave the surprise on his face.

"It's too good to be fair." Wang Xiu felt a slight heat on his face.

The humble did not dare to forget the country, and the matter must still be closed. A good person who does not dare to forget the country, and the matter must still be closed. Heaven and earth gods and spirits support the temple society, Yanshan father and old man Wang and Luan." A touch of excitement burst out of the corner of Cai Jing's eyes, and then he said a little sadly: "What ambition, what a teenager!" ”

Cai Jing's expression fell in Wang Xiu's eyes, which made him see that the other party's eyes had a hint of discoloration, but he couldn't guess his intentions, but he felt that it was really tiring to play hide and seek with smart people, so he simply didn't guess, and followed Cai Jing's words and said indifferently: "How can the student have any ambitions, but he just thinks that the imperial court will recover the thirteen states of Jibei and conform to the principles of heaven." ”

Cai Jing shook his head and said vicissitudes: "How can a young man not have ambitions, the old man back then. Ahem, recovering the thirteen states of Jibei is the century-old ambition of the imperial court, and you can have this mind, which is not much stronger than those rotten Confucians who open their mouths about benevolence, righteousness and morality. ”

At this time, Wang Xiu didn't quite understand Cai Jing's intentions, but he insisted on a truth, just as there is no right or wrong in the world, and there is no absolute enmity. Since Cai Jing brought him in, the two have no overlapping interests, and it seems that Cai Jing has taken a fancy to him, at least it is an exchange of interests, and he doesn't believe that Cai Jing will be unfavorable to him.

"I see that your words are elegant, and I think there must be other reasons for the tribute."

Cai Jing is really an old man, and he hit his key point at once, vaguely pointing out that he didn't do his best in the Ministry of Rites, and it seemed that he still had a bit of a reproach, which made Wang Xiu gnash his teeth for a while, which pot is really not opened, but since the other party knew it, he decided to answer honestly, stop hiding it, and said in a deep voice: "The student is stupid, and he doesn't dare to be arrogant." ”

Cai Jing glanced at Wang Xiu in surprise, seemed to be surprised by his honesty, stroked his beard and said, "It's good that you have this mind, and the official family is also undecided!" ”

It is related to the major affairs of the imperial court, Wang Xiu listened to it in his heart and remembered it in his heart, but he did not accept Cai Jing's words, these things were far away from him, and he was not qualified to say it.

"You are impressive in the business of water, and the correct theory of mind also puts forward insight into the laws behind things, and when it comes to the final form of today's business development, copper coins will inevitably be eliminated and form a gold standard monetary system? The old man watched it a few times and felt that it seemed a little unfinished. ”

Wang Xiu was greatly surprised when he heard this, the first half of the Xinxue Theory is learning, and the second half is the inevitability of the development of politics, economy, and science and technology with the heart, that is, the general text, only the theoretical research of zài remains, how can Cai Jing know Yayin and know Yayi, and he can see his reservations at a glance.

He didn't hesitate at all, and said lightly: "Xianggong is right, the students have ensured that they have left a lot, and the correct theory of the mind is a book about learning, and other things are derived, and they are not elaborated in detail."

"Then let's hear about it." Cai Jing's eyes lit up.

Wang Xiu's heart moved, he could vaguely figure out part of Cai Jing's intentions, Wang Hao used Dazai to withdraw the Ying Feng Bureau, all the world's goods in and out, Cai Jing lost a large part of the right to speak in finances, it is better to say it, maybe there is an unexpected gain.

He cleaned up his thoughts, and talked about the mainstream market economics such as banking, money circulation, and taxation in the future, and Cai Jing asked a few questions in the middle, but then he didn't say a word, squinting and listening carefully.

When he finished talking about economics briefly, his eyes fell on Cai Jing's face, trying to see the way, and he was still a little worried that Cai Jing might not be able to understand the market economy and waste his mind in vain.

Cai Jing's face sank like water, and it took about half a pillar of incense for a long time before he sighed and said: "If there is more money, it is expensive, and if it is less, the old man knows it, but the establishment of a gold standard is the mainstay, and silver and copper are used as auxiliary currency banking systems to control Sino-foreign trade, forming a stable commercial development, and then using banks to collect coins and lend out, one in and one out."

"It turned out to have been there for a long time, but everyone didn't realize the lack of two key links, the place where the coin was transferred and exchanged, and the flexibility between gold and silver and Jiaozi, which had been puzzled for many years. Well, the old man also understood that big money disturbed the people, but there were Li people waiting to be fed, and there were beacons in the northwest outside, so today's bitter fruit was planted. ”

"To know that there is such a good law, it will definitely be able to prevent the slightest, and use the expedient measures of big money to supplement the bank, with gold as the foundation, silver and copper as the supplement, no matter how bad it is, it can reduce the suffering of the people, why bother to indiscriminately send friends, cast big money, these ways to drink doves to quench thirst."

Wang Xiu understands that Cai Jing is talking about the Ten Money Method, which is the main basis for later generations to criticize Cai Jing for accumulating wealth, the face value of the big money minted is too high, and the value of the currency itself cannot reach the denomination. But these words could only be swallowed in his stomach, and he said cautiously: "Big money has shortcomings, but if the court does not make a common practice, the people can follow it, and then use gold and silver as reserves, it can be regarded as a good emergency law." ”

Cai Jing heard that Wang Xiu did not agree with the big money, and even was extremely disgusted, he smiled bitterly: "I was the prime minister because of the big money and hurt the people, and let the villagers run rampant for several years, and today I let Wang Yanluo gain power, and the world has been looted." I think that back then, the officials and families used troops in the northwest, and the financial resources of the imperial court could still support the war, but now hundreds of thousands of officials, more than 1 million forbidden troops, and the world's financial resources."

Wang Xiu looked at Cai Jing in surprise, the old prime minister in front of him was not the image of a traitor ingrained in his mind at all, he fell into deep confusion.

Suddenly, my heart lit up again, like a bright light that saw the sun through the clouds. Cai Jing is just an old Confucian ear. There is a Zhao official family who is very happy and extravagant, and there is a mess left over from a hundred years of scabies, weak and poor, and it is difficult for the gods to have the power to return to the sky, what can an old man who is about to enter the wood?

However, he was not confused by Cai Jing, no matter how he said that Cai Jing was also a spicy and cunning old fox, his heart was not as tough as ordinary people, and he put interests first, and he was not even left with scum that could be gnawed if he was not careful.

"Is there a specific implementing charter?"

Wang Xiu hesitated for a moment and said categorically: "It's difficult, not for the time being." ”

"Your proposition is very good, I'm afraid it won't be implemented for the time being."

"As long as the government is in charge of legislation and monitoring, the rest will be solved by the private sector itself, and if it can be implemented, even if it is a prosperous state near Gyeonggi."

At this time, Cai Jing's gaze was no longer sharp, and Wang Xiu's thinking suddenly expanded a lot. With the support of this old lady, even if it is an economically prosperous state, as long as it can bring huge benefits, form an inherent system, and expand the vested interest class, it can also produce a butterfly effect.

"The imperial court has set its sights on Jibei, and the official family is determined to recover Yanshan." Cai Jing's tone was very flat.

Wang Xiu couldn't help but smile bitterly, Northern Expedition? That's not! The northwest is gradually encroaching on the party, which means that the only army with combat effectiveness in the Great Song Dynasty cannot appear on the battlefield of the Northern Expedition.

Tong Guan is a very capable handsome, but he doesn't have a temper at all, it's not that the enemy is too strong, but his subordinates are too incompetent.

He shook his head, understanding that Cai Jing was vaguely telling him that it was unlikely, and said in a deep voice: "What Xiang Gong said is extremely true, I am afraid that it will take a hundred years to step by step, and if you can start with the establishment of a bank, on the grounds of Qingmiao Tea Horse, you will save and lend money first, and the resistance will be much smaller." ”

"A hundred years is too long, if you choose a distant military state, where is the most suitable?"

"Southeast."

"Southeast?" Cai Jing's face was heavy, and he was silent. xh118
