Chapter 760: Monarchs and Ministers Know Each Other
"As an official, you must first know what the king wants."
Cai Jing is old, and he speaks calmly, not slowly, not in a hurry.
Bai Shizhong didn't dare to pull down a word, and listened attentively with his ears pricked up.
"In the old Song Dynasty, when Zhao Ji, the king of hips, was in power, he ordered me to enter Beijing as the prime minister. All Zhao Ji wants is an abundant treasury for him to eat, drink and have fun, and he wants to be prosperous and rich on the surface. ”
"So, the old man proposed Feng, Heng, Yu, and Da, reformed Yanyu and Chayu, and concentrated the world's wealth under Zhao Ji's nose for him to have fun and let him see an incomparably magnificent Bianliang City."
Bai Shizhong nodded again and again, Cai Jing's power was monstrous at that time, no matter how the DPRK and China changed, Zhao Ji had always firmly appointed Cai Jing, and it seemed that he had taken a fancy to his means of collecting money.
Zhao Ji even made an exception for Cai Jing and acquiesced to let him be in the position of prime minister for five years, if it weren't for the fact that he had not moved his troops into Beijing today, I am afraid he would have to continue to be in office.
You must know that the chief prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty agreed that he would be replaced after three years.
Cai Jing took a sip of tea, gently plucked the heat with the lid of the cup, and asked with a smile, "Meng Heng, do you know what you want today?" ”
Bai Shizhong fell into thought, and after a while, he muttered: "Isn't it Haiyan Heqing?" ”
Cai Jing laughed: "Then he has already reached." ”
As Cai Jing said, today's world is the real Haiyan River.
Thinking back to the time of the Great Song Dynasty, the four Yi were disturbed, internal and external troubles, except for Bianliang, which was a fairyland on earth, and there were natural and man-made disasters everywhere.
Today, however, there are very few people who are willing to work and are unable to eat.
Even poor children have the conditions to go to school and study, and the old are supported and the young are supported.
Bai Shizhong thought about it, and he didn't know what Yang Lin wanted as a monarch emperor.
Cai Jing looked at him and frowned, and no longer let him continue to think, and nodded: "The people take food as the sky, and since ancient times, the Holy Son of Heaven has been in power, and they all want to be solid and prosperous. Only today is different, he opened his sleeve building, set up a chamber of commerce, and supported businessmen. ”
"The world's cultivated fields and people, rivers and water sources are limited, and it is impossible to continue to develop when the cultivation reaches a certain point. The trade routes were different, and although the merchants who came and went were despised by the scholars of our generation, they could bring the dynasty to a higher level. ”
"With the power of the four yi, we can support the Chinese people, relying on the trade routes. Therefore, before he ascended the throne, he attacked the Qarakhanid and restarted the Silk Road in the Western Regions, which was blocked by the Hui; bribed the Kereh Ministry and opened the tea and horse trade route in Montenegro; Collect Dali's toes, sweep away the war Cham pirates, and open up the Nanyang maritime merchants; Build the port of Tianjin, take the Grand Canal, and connect the north and south..."
"It shows that the ambition of the official family is to open the country, accept the wealth of the four seas, and return it to my Great Xia. He was no longer satisfied with feeding the people... Therefore, the old man said, there is no one more holy in the past than the present one..."
Bai Shizhong suddenly realized, and felt transparent, it turned out that he was stuffy and did his job conscientiously, when would he be able to get the favor of the officials?
He stood up, couldn't wait to go back and explore a set of plans, and bowed to Cai Jing: "If it weren't for the guidance of the Grand Master, Meng Heng wouldn't know when he would be able to realize the ambition of the official family. ”
Cai Jing waved his hand and said, "What are you in a hurry, it's not early today, let's eat at the house." ”
Bai Shizhong was a little surprised, but he was honest by nature, so he had to say patiently: "Since it is the Taishi who stays with him, Meng Heng will bother." ”
Cai Jing nodded secretly, very satisfied in his heart, and after eating, he took out a silk silk from his sleeve on the wine table.
"The old man has long expected that you will come to me, in this Ming Hall, your status is the chief, but you don't have the corresponding merits, what kind of system do you become? This is the old man's spare time, write some initiatives, you can take a look. ”
Bai Shizhong was convinced at this time, and after taking it, he carefully put it into his arms, "The Taishi is so loving, if there is an exorcism, Meng Heng dares not to worry about repaying the Taishi." ”
---
Around Xiongxian County, there is a desolation, this place has been the battlefield of Song Liao for many years, and the traces of gunpowder smoke are very clear.
There are dozens of hundreds of miles of tunnels underground, which are the relics of the people of the Great Song Dynasty who used tunnels to fight against the Khitan invaders.
Chong Guiyi was beside Yang Lin, looking at the busy guards, looking around at the surrounding scenery, and asked excitedly: "Official, are we camping here!" ”
"What encamped you, when you came to war? We will stay here for the time being, waiting for the engineering battalion of Shenyang Prefecture to come, and build a big city here that is not weaker than Bianliang! ”
Yang Lin said in high spirits, he now understands a little bit of the mentality of some heroes who want to build a city after they succeed.
On the fertile soil of this Shenzhou, there is a city that is bound to be brilliant, which I built with one hand.
This kind of sense of accomplishment and pleasure cannot be obtained in no matter how charming and delicate the beauty is.
The men of the Banzai battalion set up guards at the high post and set up several large tents here.
The concubines, including Chong Guiyi, all lived with Yang Lin.
The palace maids soon took small basins and began to sweep and sprinkle water, incense to remove insects, and hang beaded curtains.
In this era, large families have the custom of traveling in the wild.
People are often in the suburbs, and families bring domestic servants to stay for as little as three or four days or as long as ten and a half months.
After a little trimming, this place is found as Yang Lin's residence, surrounded by beautiful trees and lush flowers, and a clear stream pours under the stone gap from the depths of the flowers and trees.
At night, a few bonfires were lit, and Yang Lin hugged him left and right, grilling skewers with his own hands.
They are skewered with fresh twigs, sprinkled with salt, and the roasted oil juice overflows and drips, and the aroma is lingering, and then one by one it is distributed to the people around it.
From time to time there were very cheerful voices in the wilderness, some fencing and singing, others dancing.
On this kind of day, I like it to the extreme, and I laugh at two pear vortices, which is very cute.
At this time, Lu Qian came over, clasped his fists and said, "Official, the letter from Bianliang was sent by Bai Xiang. ”
Bai Shizhong's letter, Yang Lin still attaches great importance to it, because he is ruling the world and is the chief prime minister.
After unfolding, by the light of the fire, I saw that there were dense fly-headed small blocks on it.
Lu Qian saw that there were concubines and palace maids around him, so he turned around and said goodbye.
The more Yang Lin watched, the more fascinated he became, and the more he watched, the more fascinated he became, and he couldn't help but shout hello.
"Such a policy of rejuvenating the country and stabilizing the country, this is Bai Shizhong's handiwork, this must be Cai Jing's idea. Cai Jing's ability, although Guan Zhong and Yao Chong, can't reach it! Yang Lin couldn't help but say.
The letter gave a detailed account of the new policies he was preparing to implement to encourage agricultural merchants, especially maritime merchants.
It is necessary for merchants to buy cotton from Nanyang on a large scale, buy cane sugar from Dashi, introduce courgettes from the Western Regions, and exchange gold and silver from Dongying...
It is then processed into cloth, silk and porcelain, which are dumped overseas.
The shipyards of the imperial court lifted the ban and worked with the people to enhance their long-distance navigation capabilities.
Each of them spoke to Yang Lin's heart.
