Chapter 21: The Saint Next Door
The shopkeeper smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, how can you worry about Xiao Yanei." That's always money. β
"Damn...... There is no Wang Fa, this centipede of consistent money, how much you have and how much I collect, since it is always four catties of money, this is less than double for you, come on. Wang Yan roared.
"Yes." Old Liao Fox fake tiger fist way.
"Two pounds of money and four catties, give Ben Shao to take away all the centipedes in Anqitang." Wang Yan danced and said: "In addition, it is necessary to investigate this place to see if it is suspected of being abducted and defrauded, and whether it needs to be closed for rectification......
Before the little devil finished speaking, the old shopkeeper's face was like a black cauldron, and he smiled and said: "Yanei, you misunderstand the old man, in fact, the old man refers to one or two pieces of money." β
"The price is still a bit obscene, I'll pay double." Wang Yan opened his mouth and came.
At this moment, the shopkeeper, who was obviously supported by someone behind him, was proud, and said with a beard: "Come on, pack all our centipedes, and sell them to the respected grandfather for two dollars......

This time, Wang Yan said: "Okay, I'm a child, I don't choose what to say, you won't take it seriously, let's still settle the deal with one or two for the money." β
Even if the negotiation is completed, although the scale must have been blinded by this profiteer, the old man said that he only had three catties and one tael. Lao Liao estimated that it was three catties and seven taels. But forget it, Lao Tzu is stupid and has a lot of money, and it's not a one-shot deal, give them some sweetness and good karma first, and I'll slowly harm them in the future.
This is where the first huge sum of money was made: Thirty consistent.
This is more than 20,000 copper coins, okay, very heavy, but put it in the back basket, let the second girl carry it on her back, and the little Lori smiled with her eyebrows, and she didn't feel heavy at all. She felt that Da Yan was really capable, and with this money, our family really started.
In fact, of course, this amount of money is weak, and it is indeed enough for ordinary families to live for many years, and even to provide for the elderly. But speaking of which, Anshi's father's monthly salary is more than this. Or if the income of the job field is not calculated. Yes, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty are so easy to do, and the villas they live in are also given by the state.
It's just that the snake is as thick as the hole is. Officials basically talk about pomp and circumstance, and hiring people is a big expense.
Basically, if you look at how many families have dog legs, you can see the strength and wealth.
Then there are concubines. Of course, lust has a cost, there are many concubines, all kinds of rouge gouache and so on have to be spent, and two maids are even more standard. Especially in the future, there will be a lot of heirs, all of them are gentlemen, and each person is equipped with eight doglegs, which is only a beggar's version.
Doesn't have a Maserati that's also called a gentleman? Therefore, officials and magnates like to raise "BMWs", and the Great Song Dynasty was originally short of horses, and raising a famous horse in Bianjing can be more expensive than playing Land Rover cars in later generations.
Later generations of celebrities raise a bunch of famous cars to drive, but in fact, they really don't need much net worth to do it. But the magnates of Bianjing in the Great Song Dynasty want to raise a group of famous horses to ride, which is a bottomless pit.
So to talk about these is a process of geometric growth, no amount of money to fill in. When money is not enough, people have more thoughts. Then the so-called "field" can raise people. In fact, a commoner can live on two acres of land and live better, but a "child of the Eight Banners" needs 200 acres of land to support. So in fact, the number of children of the Eight Banners directly determines the degree of justice of the country.
In order to make the sons who shouted "My dad is Li Gang" better, the official fathers had to change the law to make money. The general rule is to unite with the local tyrants and landlords, and conceal that the large land in the hands of the landlords is not reported on the table, and there is no tax. So the landlord was giving the money back to the officials in charge.
For this reason, the land annexation of the Great Song Dynasty reached the point of madness, and the burden of the people's lives became heavier and heavier. Because there is so much for the state, the local tyrants evade taxes, of course, they must be borne by the people.
Based on this, many years later, the Great Demon King held up a black gauze hat and proposed the "Fangtian Average Tax Law". This did not declare communism, but just re-measured the land, and re-"discovered" the fields that were hidden by the local tyrants, so that they could pay taxes according to the fields. Reducing the financial burden is actually reducing the burden on the people.
As a result, the Great Demon King and the Emperor naturally offended the bureaucrats and landlords of the world. So the rebound was so serious that it went crazy. But speaking of Lao Wang's braincase, it is really big enough, and he is still fighting when he is surrounded and demonized by the powerful groups of people all over the world. It was only when the white-haired man sent the black-haired man that Lao Wang felt tired.
After YY, Wang Yan, who was riding on Lao Liao's neck, asked: "Uncle Liao, the old shopkeeper of the medicine hall seems to be a little awesome, it seems that he is not too afraid of me, who is his backstage?" β
"The owner of this medicine hall is surnamed Sima." Lao Liao said with a strange expression.
"Oh." Wang Yan touched his chin and nodded, thinking, it turned out to be a relative of Sima Sheng's family next door.
Sima Guang is really a saint, he does live in the "villa area" next door to our old Wang's house, and his office is also next door to our old Wang: Zhizhou Yamen.
Yes, this great demon king's lifelong opponent, now it is the matter of Zhishu Prefecture, and he also served as the pacification envoy of Huaixi Jingluo the month before last.
Earlier, Sima Guang was not as good as Wang Anshi, and the eldest Wang was the "Standing Committee" of Huainan West Road, but Sima Sage was not. However, with Nong Zhigao's army, Zhao Shidan's death and the fall of Guangzhou, the imperial court also began to panic, so the commander of the Yamen was erected on Huainan West Road, and Sima Guang served as the commander.
As a result, Sima Guang now has the military and civil rights of the entire "province and region". Lao Wang has the power of money and food and the right of judicial re-determination. Basically, now Huainan is the two of them who have the final say.
It's really not that enemies don't get together, even in this Shuzhou City, the two of them have the final say.
Sima Guang is a good person, but he can only read and not do things, he will shout slogans according to science, and he will not really teach others to be a man. Therefore, even if the people's livelihood in Shuzhou under his rule is better than that in other places, it is still a situation where ruffians are bouncing around.
If the old king had been in charge, those ruffians would have been cleaned up a long time ago.
So according to Geng Tianqiu, Sima Guang and Wang Anshi used to be good friends, because distance produces beauty, and there is no conflict of interest between the two sides, just to learn poetry and literature, show off petty bourgeoisie, and drink tea. So, of course, it's a good friend.
But when the two tigers are put together, the differences of opinion between the two arise in Shuzhou.
So Xu Langshan hated Sima Sage the most, Xu Langshan said: "Our father-in-law commented on that Sima Guang, saying that he was good at reading and did not seek much understanding, and he could not understand the essentials of his speech. The whole donkey still didn't listen to anyone's advice. This person is ambitious and talented, and he can do learning, but he really can't govern. β
Wang Yan felt that the Great Demon King was really sharp enough, he didn't need to say it so viciously. Sima Guang is very cute, the demon king's father bullied him, and he was not ruthless enough to bully, if he didn't kill him at once, it would be called hatred but it was useless.
Yes, according to history, Lao Wang really bullied Lao Sima for a lifetime, and in the more than ten years that Lao Wang was in power, Uncle Sima was completely jumped, and he was always an official in the poor mountains and bad waters, and he couldn't go back to the capital to speak.
Where have you ever heard of such a good treatment for a political opponent? Even the later civilizations are much more fierce than this. So Wang Anshi is a person with a conscience. But a conscientious person is really not suitable to be an official.
Not to mention framing and dying, but if Wang Yan wants to say that he becomes a king and loses a villain, and the country does not owe Sima an official position, he kicks and flies to become a concubine, which is actually a very civilized and rational approach.
However, Zhao Song's way to win the country was unjust, and he was not as good as Zhu Baba, resulting in a waist board that was not hard enough. Emperor Taizu Lao Zhao was also quite righteous, and set the national policy of "not only can't be killed, but also owe them official positions".
The popular protest of the Great Song Dynasty is what Lao Zhao is used to. At that time, the prime minister Zhao Pu wanted to appoint a person, Lao Zhao did not agree, Zhao Pu pestered Lao Zhao all day long like a Tang monk, saying every day, saying every day, and finally Lao Zhao said "Okay, okay, you love it."
On the other hand, Lao Zhao looked at someone's bones and was surprised to give them reuse. Zhao Pu protested and said, "That kid is unusable, and the old minister refuses to appoint." can make Lao Zhao jump to his feet, but there is no way.
Of course, Lao Zhao is especially cute, and he is relatively broad-minded. The specific policies of the Zhao and Song dynasties were fine-tuned according to the different personalities of the emperors. But the general direction does not affect Lao Zhao's set, which is the political correctness of the Great Song Dynasty.
This is the so-called "sharing the world with the scholars". This is where Zhao Song's instigation comes from, but so does Zhao Song's political success. Since ancient times, it has been relatively dangerous to eat alone, so it is actually a false proposition and a gimmick to bluff people. The core of the Zhao and Song dynasties was the joint-stock system, the emperor was not the master, and the officials were not slaves.
Facts have proved that this political system is relatively successful, and it has made the Zhao and Song dynasties in the three hundred years of the world almost no coup d'Γ©tat or rebellion, in addition to being very cowardly, the people's livelihood has also achieved a relatively good level of the previous dynasties. Lao Zhao is not a military strategist, but he is a powerful political architect, in fact, his set is applied in later civilizations, and the core is basically the same......
