On the streets of Bianliang, there are some special people, all of whom are palace ladies and chamberlains who came out of the forbidden palace.

The family members who came to greet them were also driving carriages, and their monthly money was not low every month in the ban, and they often supported a large family outside the palace.

These palace people, wiping their tears, first looked at the imperial city, and then looked at the towering jade tower in the distance, and left with loneliness.

Correspondingly, there are batches of new palace attendants, who have entered the forbidden middle school from the province of inner attendants.

A generation of new people for the old, this forbidden is like a portrayal of the entire Great Song Dynasty, in the great changes everywhere there is a new atmosphere, but also facing new challenges.

At this time, it was already the end of spring, and there was very little snow in the first winter of Xuanhe, and the household department reported this year's grain harvest early in the morning, but I was afraid that it would not be too good.

Especially in the land of Jingchu, which was originally a large grain producer, it is also said that there is too little rain.

Yang Lin first sent people to dig more ditches and reservoirs to store water, and then prepared grain and transported it to Jingchu in advance.

On the Bianhe River, there is an endless stream of boats, crowded and blocked, and the cart workers on the port wharf are tired and sweaty, and they can't keep up with the speed of the arrival of cargo ships.

Under the Luo umbrella not far away, Yang Lin frowned and asked, "There are so many merchant ships from Jing Chu to Bianliang, what are they transporting?" ”

Behind him, Wang Yun, the president of the Chamber of Commerce in the sleeve building, said in a low voice after hearing this: "There is a lot of food. ”

Yang Lin turned his head and said with a smile: "Are you kidding the official, this Bianliang's grain is transported to Jingchu by boat, and then Jingchu's is transported to Bianliang?" ”

Wang Yun replied cautiously: "How dare the villain bully Shaozai, Shaozai doesn't know, our Great Song Dynasty is not only Jingchu, but also grain merchants have to buy from Bianliang, and then transport them back to sell."

Kaifeng Prefecture does not cultivate much land, and the grain is also purchased from other provinces, which has been this process for a hundred years. ”

This is also ridiculous, transport grain to Bianliang, and then go to Bianliang to buy it, and then transport it back. Isn't that full of food?

In the Great Song Dynasty, there are many such funny things, if Yang Lin knows more, he will find that this is nothing...

Because there is a quantity of grain transported to Bianliang from all over the country every year, if it is not met, the magistrates have to buy grain everywhere.

Xu Zhichang was beside him and explained to Yang Lin in a low voice.

Even if there is such a law, it should be adapted to the times and be flexible. Jing Chu officials, none of them wrote a letter to point out this drawback, who is the governor of Jing Chu? ”

Xu Zhichang was angry when he heard him, and hurriedly said: "Zhongshu Province has decided that Li Gang, the former Taichang Shaoqing, will be the governor of Jingchu. ”

Yang Lin snorted, this Li Gang is so famous, just give him a chance. Shen Sheng said: "After I go back, it will be agreed that there is no need to transport all the grain to Bianliang." Why is it so hard to spend people and money? ”

Later generations wrote history, and the problems of the Northern Song Dynasty were attributed to Zhao Jige and Cai Jing, in fact, he repaired Genyue and transported a flower and stone gang, which was really not as expensive as the civil officials to formulate all kinds of strange regulations.

Transporting grain to Bianliang and then transporting it back to sell, the civil official clique has not seen the absurdity in it for a hundred years?

In fact, on the contrary, everyone can see clearly that the reason why this absurd law continues to be promoted is because the powerful scholars and doctors in the court are all in Bianliang.

In this unfortunate process, they can seek huge profits, if they produce and sell themselves in the local area, and do not go through Bianliang at all, no matter how capable they are, they will not be able to make a lot of money from it.

The descendants and disciples of these birdmen, of course, will not point these out in the history books, why is the Northern Song Dynasty a paradise for scholars? It's not like it's a pile of money. Rich people are heaven everywhere.

As for those who are bitter, if they want to buy the grain they grow, they have to pay for the freight of these two times, and most of the more expensive per catty of grain is not within the scope of the officials' considerations.

The girl of the Bianhe painting boat is as beautiful as a fairy, and the Bianliang wine and food are exquisite as the Yaochi fairy banquet. In it, it's too late to enjoy, who has the leisure time to care whether the mud legs on your place will die.

Xu Zhichang also understood this twist and turn, and reminded euphemistically: "Shaozai, this is a hundred-year process, if you change it without permission..."

Yang Lin was furious, stretched out his foot and kicked, but was dodged by Xu Zhichang and scolded: "It's been wrong for a hundred years, and it's not corrected in time, can you wait until after the death of the country?" ”

Xu Zhichang knew his temper, and hurriedly ran away: "Xiaguan will arrange it." ”

Song Jiang was on the side and asked, "Shaozai, such a reform will touch the interests of Bianliang Kaifeng Mansion, are you prepared in advance?" ”

"It doesn't matter, the water comes to cover the earth, the soldiers are coming, as long as you recognize that your path is right, no one is afraid, whoever comes to us will do whom, whoever stretches out his face and slaps whom."

---

Gangsters and mixed streams day and night, and the sky is not distinguishable from north to south.

The haze is thick, and the fog locks the Bianhe River. There were more than a dozen sailing ships looming on the river, and only black clusters of silhouettes could be seen in the thick of the mist. Overlooking Bianliang City from afar, hidden in the depths of the smoke waves, it seems to be connected with the clouds and the sky, the shadows are sufficient, and it seems to be real and illusory.

Xu Jin stood at the bow of the boat and looked at it for a long time before exclaiming: "The boats on this section of the Bianhe River add up, I'm afraid there are more than the whole of Shandong." ”

Next to him, Zhang Heng smiled and said: "When the canal is straightened, the flow of ships here should be less than half, and it is not so reasonable for me to say that there is no reason for the elite goods in the world to be transported into Bianliang for no reason to circulate everywhere, which is really inconvenient." If we can go from Mizhou, to the south of the Yangtze River, to Tianjin in the north, and even to Guangzhou, the vast sea is full of gold. ”

Xu Jin nodded and said: "This is true, according to me, you Zhang Heng is smarter than the princes of the court." Seeing my son-in-law this time, you have to talk about it well, and let hundreds of thousands of people in our Mizhou get some light as soon as possible. ”

Zhang Hengxin said, you old thief is the most shrewd, say that everyone makes money together, but it is I Zhang Heng who offends people, who are you a fool.

"Hehe, Shaozai Yingming, where do you need me to be a rough man. Maybe we're planning to revise it right now. ”

Zhang Heng inadvertently guessed the facts, but Xu Jin didn't believe it, how could the century-old rules be changed. He chuckled, no longer counting this rough man, Zhang Heng is nothing to worry about, but his elder brother Song Gongming is now hot, in charge of the West Courtyard, and is faintly the first person under Yang Lin.

This group of birdmen in Jeju Mansion is also a person who has attained the Tao of chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven, Ruan Xiaoqi does not necessarily have any ability, but he is in charge of 50,000 sailors and hundreds of warships in Chenghai.

As he said this, he had already reached the ferry on the outskirts of the city, and he saw a large group of people coming from a distance.

Zhang Heng had a good look in his eyes and shouted: "That's not Shaozai and Brother Gongming, haha, the face of Lord Xu Zhuang is big, Shaozai welcomes him!" ”
