A fresh river breeze blew through the windows into the room. Summer should be the most comfortable season for the camp in Guazhou.

The houses of the camp were made of rammed earth, stone, stakes and iron juice, and were too cold in winter and too wet in spring, and only cool in summer. This is for safety, and the second is that in the event of a siege, these can be disassembled to cast more shells. Liu Wengu, who stayed behind in the camp, had tried his best to arrange the dozen or so houses where the princess lived, but the style of the entire building could not be eliminated by the decoration in individual rooms. Even if the princess of Wu lived in this room, in addition to the wooden furniture such as the bed and dresser, even the door frames and window frames were cast from cast iron.

"It's true," Peony swore by gambling curses, and said, "Buying a South China Sea coupon is to support the victory of the horse master." ”

As she spoke, she took out a scroll of paper from her emerald sleeve and said with a smile, "The slave maid heard what people said, and she also bought one, which is a good picture." As she spoke, she presented the paper roll to Zhao Huan. Although Zhao Xingde was one of the principals in charge of the issuance of Nanhai bonds, Zhao Huan saw the real stock bonds for the first time. The stock coupon is printed very exquisitely, this is Yangzhou craftsman with the most complicated set of plate printing, the front of the stock coupon is printed with waves, sea ships and distant islands, the middle of the pattern is the official book "one share", and the following is the small block word "ten money" words. In fact, it cost twenty dollars to buy it.

Zhao Huan's slender fingers picked up the ticket and turned it over, there was a blank in the middle of the reverse side, and the book "Wang Shicheng let Yu Jiang Yunniang" was written in small brush characters, Jiang Yunniang was the real name of Peony, this line of words only accounted for a small part of the top of the blank, and Jiang Yunniang could continue to write another concession below in the future, and at the same time, this transaction was also recorded in the Securities Exchange. Unless there are special circumstances such as the destruction or loss of the records of the Securities and Exchange Office, an endorsement without a record is also invalid. If you lose your ticket, you can also request a replacement based on the record.

"This is a stock?" Zhao Huan asked curiously, "You spent twenty times to buy such a piece of paper?" ”

The tickets are beautifully printed, even better than many rare books, but the engraving is never as good as a painter's painting, and twenty is enough to buy a fine fine brushwork, or a rare book in excellent condition.

"It took twenty for the slave to do so." Peony corrected carefully, "It's not just a piece of paper. Your Highness, the South China Sea fleet is an economic sea, and anyone who buys stock bonds can share a dividend. The palace maid's monthly money is not much, she gritted her teeth to buy the next share, and she also made a lot of determination, and asked clearly about the rules of stock and securities distribution and trading. At this time, seeing that Zhao Huan had some questions, he introduced them one by one, and finally said, "The stock coupon is like the left coupon of the deed, although there is no clause written on it, but the clause is recorded in the letter hall." When people buy stocks, it is the belief that the horse master will be victorious, and the Zhengxin Hall of the faith will definitely uphold justice. ”

"I see," Zhao Huan said thoughtfully, "you go to the account office and get 21,000 yuan and buy another 1,000 shares for me." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Peony agreed, and was about to retreat, when he suddenly remembered something, and said, "Because of the great victory, this coupon has also risen, and when the slave maid bought it just now, the people in the hearing letter hall said that it might not be this price later." This ......"

"Then you get 50,000 yuan first, and you can buy as much as you can." Zhao Huan nodded, his face was not unhappy, but with some joy, "Since the Nanhai Coupon is the people's trust in Hou Ye, the faster and more it rises, the higher the prestige of Hou Ye." However," she said with a slight frown, "the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it, and the line is higher than the people, and the people will not." Hou Ye's reputation is too high, which may not be a good thing. In the future, if there is any change in the stock of the Securities and Information Hall, you will report it to me. ”

"The slave and maid understand." The peony was blessed and retreated.

She is the princess's confidant and maid, and although 50,000 is not a small amount, she does not need a warrant note. Every ten days, the treasury can report to the princess and sign the pledge. The purchased equity was also immediately handed over to the treasury for safekeeping, and when to sell the shares was not considered by Zhao Huan at all. After the imperial court moved south to Ezhou, although the royal consumption decreased sharply, because the palace did not raise eunuchs, most of the clans were taken into captivity, and the royal family's consumption was much less. Zhao Huan is the only sister in today, and in addition to the princess's salary, there are various rewards from Ezhou almost every month.

The money in the princess's treasury is still accumulating more and more, and every time he sees the number on the account book rise, Zhao Huan is worried, feeling that his brother is so favored, and he will definitely attract criticism from the DPRK and China in the future. Buying Nanhai stock bonds was a compromise method, so she planned to slowly exchange all the money in the treasury for stock bonds. According to the ratio of 20 to 10 shares, the figure in the treasury account was immediately reduced by half. Moreover, this is also another special connection between his fame and career.

Thinking of the expedition, Zhao Huan was longing and sad in his heart, clasped his hands together and prayed silently, his expression gradually calm and solemn. A piece of sunlight shone on her bright face, and the sunlight also fell on the scroll, and on the slightly yellowed paper, there was a line of graceful regular script: "...... Where do you live? Lost his horse? What do you want? Under the forest. Death and life are broad, and Zicheng said. Hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son. Yu is broad, not I live. Yu Xun Xi, I don't believe it......"

............

The South China Sea Navy Commander supervised the ship White Tiger Hall, and the steward of the merchant fleet respectfully retreated, leaving only a few people behind.

These people were gentry from Zhangzhou, and the purpose of asking Zhao Xingde alone was to write a preface to the new proposed township. Zhangzhou and Chuzhou, like Chuzhou, most of the gentry choose the vulgar and easy to abide by the law, but they are not the inferior gentry of the common people in power, between the Qingliu and the vulgar gentry, in the state school to discuss and draw up a township agreement between the Qingliu law and the vulgar law, as the basis for judging the right when the two sides interfere. In the Great Rites Law, there is no provision for this kind of township contract, so the gentry asked Zhao Xingde to write the preface of the township contract, and there was also a layer of asking him to make a notarization.

"Everyone has to be restrained." Bo Ye Shipeng, the lord of Zhangzhou, sighed: "In the past, there was only one set of royal laws in the court, but now there are more royal laws, which makes people confused. As it is now, you say your reason, I say mine, and then it will become everyone's reason. That's why we drafted a few chapters of the Township Covenant. ”

"Although the township covenant is crude," the gentry He Dexiu shook his head, "but everyone can finally get along well." ”

The imperial court formulated the Great Rite Law, and the Qing customs were easy to choose the law and self-discipline, and for the Song people, life changed dramatically. In some prefectures and counties, there were even incidents of Qingliu and vulgar gentry expelling each other, and even causing armed fights. To put it simply, the Song State was split, first divided into two classes, Qingliu and Shiyi, and then, among the Qingliu gentry, it was divided into many factions such as the Chen Party, the Wu Party, the Lu Party, and the Zhao Party. These factions controlled a number of state schools, and some state schools, like Zhangzhou, had no obvious tendencies, but only tried their best to maintain local order.

Ye Shipeng arched his hand and said: "Lord Zhao, we only ask for pen and ink from the adults to ensure the safety of Sangzi." ”

"Lord Ye is serious," Zhao Xingde looked at him and nodded: "This matter is very easy to ......"

The gentry of Zhangzhou showed joy on their faces, but Feng Shu, who was standing next to him, said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, think twice." ”

He glanced at Zhao Xingde, and the two avoided the back hall, and Feng Shu said the reason for opposing the matter. In the Great Rites Discussion, Zhangzhou was bought by Hou Huanyin, and the process was extremely shameless. In the end, because Hou Huanyin gave more benefits, he directly transported two stones of grain from Jingdong Road and sold them to the Zhangzhou official treasury at a very low price, and Zhangzhou supported Hou Huanyin. This incident was a joke among the southeastern Shilin, and it had an extremely bad impact on those small states that did not care who was in charge of the DPRK and China.

"The clear streams of all the states are quite disdainful of it, my lord, they just want to borrow your reputation and open up the situation."

"Fortunately, you reminded me," Zhao Xingde sighed, "I'll consider this matter again." ”

"My lord." Feng Lan lowered his head and said in a low voice.

After Feng Li admonished that day, Zhao Xingde did not teach the way of a gentleman in the army, and the scholars took turns to give lectures. The officers were slightly disappointed but also relieved. After this incident, Feng Lu's identification with Zhao Xingde has another layer. He felt that to calm the party struggle between the DPRK and China, only a figure like Zhao Xingde could do it. Zhao Xingde himself does not want to be involved in the internal struggle between the DPRK and China, however, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, Zhao Xingde already has wide wings, if he does not take the initiative to intervene in the government politics, he will be used, and in the end, the Zhao Party, including himself, will become a victim because of this. Therefore, these days, Feng Shu has always reminded Zhao Xingde, consciously or unconsciously, of the stakes of the political dispute between the DPRK and China.

After Zhao Xingde no longer intervened in the military meeting, when he spoke at the morning party, the result was the same as Feng Shu's expectation, and the atmosphere of discussion among the officers was much more intense. Among the armies of the imperial court, the army led by Zhao Xingde was known for its large number of scholars. Before he put pen to paper, an officer like Feng Lan already had a certain opinion in his heart. After Zhao Xingde did not lecture on the way of a gentleman, it was much more difficult for the scholar to speak, and if he was not careful, a situation of tongue war would be formed. However, the heated controversy did not lead to a situation in which "if you are not the same as me, you are the enemy", but instead deepened the officers' recognition of the way of a gentleman, and on this basis, some other consensus was gradually formed.

For example, in order to make the upper and lower levels of the army like an arm and a finger without being rigid and rigid, it is necessary to ensure the scope of rights at all levels, and even the superior officers must not arbitrarily infringe on the rights of the lower officers, and at the same time, the military management must not arbitrarily infringe on the rights of sailors, but once the line is crossed by either an officer or a soldier, he will be punished more severely. This is the so-called "punishment for gifts". As a result, the officers discussed and tightened all kinds of punishments, and military discipline became stricter than before. The degree of prohibition of the naval division is even greater than that of the Zhenguo army, which has strict military discipline.
