Chapter 181: Fighting for the Country
Fan Yu also laughed secretly in his heart, these guys still have to get together when they encounter bad luck, is negative or positive?
Under the guidance of Xu Shou, Fan Yu entered the room.
Yang Cha, Miao Zhen and Yang Ge saw that it was An Le Hou Fan Yu, and their faces were feverish.
Yesterday, I was still shouting and hugging unevenly, but not long after I arrived in Kaifeng Mansion, I almost fell to the ground and shattered my eyeballs.
Chen Shimei looked sanctimonious, but he didn't want to be a hypocrite. Seeing that he couldn't hide it, he collapsed on the spot, and he just begged not to trouble his family, where is there still a little bit of Sven who reads.
However, this person is also to blame, and he has to bear the consequences if he does something wrong.
Yang Cha hurriedly hugged his fists at Fan Yu and said: "Master Hou, yesterday we didn't know the truth, and we were instigated by Chen Shimei's traitor, and regarded Master Hou as a gentleman who snatched people's wives and daughters, and even sued Kaifeng Mansion. This is so blind that I can't recognize such a well-dressed beast as Chen Shimei. I, waiting, are ashamed of Master Hou. ”
The rest of the people also hurriedly got up and apologized to Fan Yu.
Fan Yu waved his hand and said, "Just look at a person's appearance, how can you see whether the other party's character is good or bad." And it didn't have any consequences for me. But you went to Kaifeng Mansion with you, and were beaten by the Bao Governor's Mansion. Now that I see that your activities are going on as usual, could it be that the selfless prefect of Bao, who claims to be iron-faced, has opened up the net? ”
Miao Zhen touched his buttocks, and then shook his head and said, "Bao Prefect Iron Mask, how can I open the net." It was the third class of officials, and when I saw that we were Jinshi, it was an unintentional mistake, and I held it high and fell lightly when I hit the board. Although there was a crackling sound, the swelling disappeared in half a day, and it was really merciful. ”
"We're okay, but Chen Shimei was sent to the dog's head by the prefect of Bao, and at the end there was a click, and the head fell to the ground." Yang Ge was a little shocked and said: "This person has passed the Jinshi examination, and he is among the top spears." If he hadn't committed such a major crime of deceiving the king and cheating on marriage, he might not have been able to worship the prime minister ten or twenty years later. It is only because of the greed of a thought that there is the scourge of killing, and we should take it as a warning. ”
Xu Shou sighed and said: "That hypocrite died a miserable death, but it also frightened everyone. That's why there is today's appointment, everyone gets together and suppresses the shock. ”
Fan Yu took the wine and food from Wang Xiaoding's hand and said, "Coincidentally, I also brought some wine and food, and I was going to drink two glasses with Brother Xu." Since everyone is here, let's do it together. ”
Hou Ye opened his mouth to speak, and everyone had nothing to do. And to be able to sit with Fan Yu and talk about things, why not.
"I also ordered some wine and food in the restaurant, and I went to see if it was delivered." Xu Shou put down the things in Wang Xiaoding's hand and turned around and went out.
A moment later, he came in with Zhang Tangqing, and brought two guys carrying food boxes.
Da Song's catering is extremely developed, and food delivery has become the norm. Many of the government's meals are contracted to some restaurants and restaurants for a long time.
After the wine and food were arranged, Zhang Tangqing raised his glass and apologized to Fan Yu again on behalf of everyone. Yesterday's incident was lost, and because they were frightened by seeing Chen Shimei being killed on the spot, these people seemed to be a little silent.
Fan Yu saw that there was a little coldness, so he smiled and said, "I came to find Brother Xu today, in fact, it is also a bit of a business. Some time ago, I asked Brother Xu to write a charter for the construction of some civil things. Now that everyone is here, it's better to discuss it together. ”
Xu Shou put down the wine cup and said, "I have written this charter and handed it over." Hou Ye came to me again to discuss, but I felt that something was wrong. ”
"If the officials and the ministers agree, I wonder where I will sell all these many things that have been made." Fan Yu said with a smile: "If it is only sold to the people, I am afraid that some people will say that they will compete with the private merchants for profit, so that their workshop will not be able to gain a foothold." ”
Yang Ge thought about it for a while, and then said: "Hou Ye thinks like this, but it is not unreasonable. Rather than wasting time and effort doing these things, it would be better to dismiss this idea. More things are better than less, and only by doing nothing can the people's livelihood rest. ”
After listening to Yang Ge's words, his own family Yang Cha shook his head and said: "You are lazy and troublesome, how can you be an official." If we are the ruling party in the future, we should take advantage of the situation and act in accordance with the will of the people. However, the official creation of tools and tools is indeed competing with the people for profit. It is better to sell it to Xia and Liao and make their money, which is the best. ”
Fan Yu nodded, what he wanted was also this sentence, "Brother Yang Cha is right, if you can sell it to the Liao Kingdom and the Xia Kingdom, it would be good to exchange some cattle, sheep and horses." ”
"Master Hou doesn't know about the side affairs, it's okay to talk about cattle and sheep, but the horses are strictly forbidden to lose to the Song Dynasty in Liaoxia." Zhang Tangqing also spoke: "The reason why my Great Song Dynasty lost in the Battle of Song and Liao is that there is a lack of cavalry. If it was back then, my Great Song Dynasty had enough cavalry, I am afraid that the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun would have been recovered by the time of Taizu. ”
Xu Shou hurriedly said: "Luo Ke, who sold to Qingtang, then Qingtang has a good relationship with my Great Song Dynasty, and the good horses in the Western Army are all from Qingtang." ”
"Although their Qingtang horses are good, it is a pity that they cannot provide them to me in a stable manner." Miao Zhen sighed and said: "Qingtang is gullible and credulous, and it is precisely like this that he has been betrayed many times. Now it's just settled down, and I can sell a large number of war horses, but I don't know what year it is. ”
Fan Yu was not familiar with these things, but when he heard them say something about it, he actually had some understanding of the current situation in the Great Song Dynasty.
"Then there will be a few folk utensils produced by the courtyard, and they can be sold in the past, and they don't necessarily have to be exchanged for war horses." Fan Yu said with a smile: "I remember that there are also Annan and Dali, and they can also be trafficked." In addition, there are coastal city berths, which can also be sold overseas. It seems that this sales are not worried. If it is only sold in the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that it will make some officials in the DPRK and China dislike. ”
Zhang Tangqing said with a smile: "This is also very feasible, although Annan looks deferential to my Great Song Dynasty, but in fact he is plotting the population of my Great Song Dynasty." Dali, on the other hand, has to rely on the business with my Great Song Dynasty to maintain the luxurious life of its Guoduan clan. These two countries are also good sales. It's just that Hou Ye is such a venerable person, but why should he be busy with such a businessman's affairs, I am afraid that he will be fouled. ”
Miao Zhen glanced at Zhang Tangqing, but did not speak. But as everyone knows, Miao Zhen's family is also a businessman. Although the Great Song Dynasty admired scholars, it did not prohibit the children of merchants from gaining fame. Although the status of merchants at this time was not high, it was far less low than that of the later Ming and Qing dynasties.
"It's not just a businessman's business, it's for the sake of the country." Fan Yu said with a smile: "Back then, Kou Zhun was the prime minister, and he tried his best to invite the first emperor to cross the river to the north and go to the front of the Lanzhou army to boost morale, which made the Liao State retreat. Such things are also for the benefit of the country. If the merchants can earn all their money from the surrounding countries, then we will be rich and poor. With this money, my Great Song Dynasty can build excellent military products and recruit elite sergeants. No matter how big or small the benefits are, as long as they are beneficial to the country, they must fight for it back. ”
"I remember the last time I was in Panlou, I talked to you about the Four Peoples. Today, I want to say, which of the four people of Shinong, industry and commerce is not fighting for the benefit of the country? Fan Yu glanced at the people.
