Two days later, Lu You left Bianjing with several people and rushed to Haizhou to take up his post to prepare for the establishment of Haizhou City's Bosi Division and Huiyi Office.

The imperial court has a way to make money, and it has begun to be implemented gradually, but to receive the money, I am afraid that it will take a year later, and the lack of money in the imperial court is still a big problem that cannot be delayed.

In order to solve the problem of using money in the short term, Zhao Yan and the ministers thought of many ways, but they quarreled back and forth, but there was no way to get money the fastest and the least harmful to the court and the people, and the only two methods did not reach a consensus.

One sells officials, the other sells knights.

These two methods are the fastest and most direct way to make money, but they do great harm to the court and the people, and they have endless disasters.

But when the imperial treasury is empty and money is in urgent need, these two methods are the most attractive, but no one dares to open this opening, after all, buying and selling officials will be infamous in the future.

Zhao Yan is the most emperor, so naturally he cannot directly participate in specific affairs, and raising money and food for the treasury is also something that the deacons have to worry about.

So Chen Kangbo and Shi Hao and others discussed, thinking that it was difficult to live in Bianjing at the moment, and if they couldn't survive the first two years, the Great Song Dynasty's qi might not last long, so no matter what, we must get through the first two years, as long as we can raise money for the treasury, why not be afraid of infamy!

In the end, Chen Kangbo took the initiative to buy and sell the official title, but Zhao Yan did not refuse.

Five days later, the imperial court promulgated the edict of recruitment, saying that since the imperial court moved north to Bianjing, it felt that talents were scarce, coupled with the Northern Expedition for many years, the Song and Jin countries fought endlessly, the number of refugees was innumerable, and there were many vacancies in the state and county government positions, and the local governance was chaotic.

Those who can be called village sages are rich and powerful big family leaders in the local area, and they are all smart people who have seen the world.

Rich is nothing, powerful is nothing, rich and powerful in the local can only be limited to the local, if you can get an official and a half position as a village sage, even if you enter the officialdom, into the scholar class, no matter whether you can go further, future generations, take this as a starting point, all kinds of benefits will be inexhaustible!

Half a month later, the news of the imperial court's recruitment soon spread in the prefectures and prefectures of Jiangbei, and the rich and powerful people in various places began to move, and they did not need to look at other people's faces to recommend and recruit talents, and the local government could not stop them, everyone had the opportunity to enter the Bianjing Recruitment Hall, but the number of official titles was definitely limited, and this matter was naturally sooner rather than later.

As a result, people from all the prefectures and prefectures who thought they were village sages rushed to Bianjing, just to get an official position or title as soon as possible.

When the villagers from all over the country arrived at the Bianjing Recruitment Hall, they filled in the self-recommendation materials as required, including their hometown, age, family background, township deeds, officialdom relations, and farm properties.

After filling in the report, the officials of the Zhaoxian Pavilion told them that the Zhaoxian Pavilion would wait for the end of the three-month self-recommendation, announce the list of self-nominations from all over the country, and then complete the selection within a month and grant the official position or title, so in the next three months, the villagers can stay in Bianjing and wait for the news, or they can go back to their hometown first, but the Zhaoxian Hall advises them to stay in Bianjing, because there will be news from time to time, if you miss it, you don't regret taking the medicine.

The villagers who came to Bianjing from all over the country are smart people with flexible brains, and if they can stay in Bianjing, they will have the opportunity to get acquainted with Bianjing officials, and even if they can't get an official position or title in the recruitment hall, they will not lose.

Therefore, almost no one left the villagers who came to Bianjing, except for a few people who had to rush back to their hometown to deal with family affairs, most of them stayed in Bianjing.

These people are rich and powerful in the local area, and now they have come to Bianjing, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, although the power is almost gone, the money in their hands is still real, and there is not a penny or silver.

As hundreds of villagers with huge sums of money came to Bianjing one after another, Hongbin Building's business soon improved.

Hongbin Lou is also the best restaurant in Lin'an, in Lin'an is only open to guests whose official positions have reached more than five grades, but the Hongbin Lou in Bianjing is slightly different, because the officials in Bianjing are very frugal, and it is difficult for the imperial court to even pay salaries in full, and even the emperor only has a few sets of clothes, which official dares to often go to consume the most expensive Hongbin Lou?

Hongbin Building invested a huge amount of money and ushered in a turnaround after operating at a loss in Bianjing for three months.

These villagers who do not have official titles are rich, so Hongbin Building, which originally valued the identity of guests, lowered the threshold, and as long as there is money, you can enter, after all, making money is the main business of Hongbin Building.

A month after Xiangxian appeared in Bianjing, Zhao Yan looked through the account books submitted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the gloom between the eyebrows finally dissipated.

Although the Jin Kingdom has been in turmoil for many years, the people have still accumulated a lot of wealth, relying on these wealth, the first year of the imperial court's move north to Bianjing can finally survive!

Subsequently, Zhao Yan ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to allocate fifty percent of the money they raised to the Ministry of Households, and the rest was included in the Inner Treasury, and the same will be implemented in the future.

After the household department got the money, all ministries and departments quickly came to the door, and under the auspices of Chen Kangbo and Shi Hao, they were divided up in an instant.

Because of this money, officials in Beijing finally received a new set of official uniforms before the end of the month.

Relying on the monthly appropriations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Household Affairs slowly paid off the arrears of various ministries and departments, and the six ministries and twenty-four divisions gradually began to operate normally.

The sages are very happy to play in Bianjing, they can meet new friends every day, no one knows whether they will have intersections in the officialdom in the future, they are almost all harmonious, they can not offend people, they will never miss the opportunity if they can have a good relationship, and they will never miss the opportunity to have a good relationship.

The villagers stayed in Bianjing to wait for news and business relations, and their money continued to flow into Hongbin Building, into the inn, into the teahouse, into the restaurant, into the Goolan Washe, and stayed in Bianjing.

Because of the existence of this group of consumers, the population around Bianjing quickly began to flow back to Bianjing, especially all kinds of large and small merchants.

Many of the village sages were engaged in a variety of other industries in addition to farming, and strictly speaking, many of them were businessmen themselves.

In the eyes of ordinary businessmen, the network resources mastered by the village sages are immeasurable, and they can have a good relationship with the village sages in a place, and when the time comes, they will definitely get a lot of help when they go to that place to do business.

Therefore, a situation of chasing each other was quickly formed in Bianjing, with ordinary businessmen chasing the village sages from all over the country, wanting to get close to them and build relationships, while the village sages were busy getting acquainted with officials in Beijing, looking for backers, and seeking care.

Under the enthusiastic pursuit of countless people, all kinds of talents began to gather, and the withered northern capital of Bianjing gradually became lively, gradually moving towards a thriving situation.

Three months after the edict was issued, the Zhaoxian Hall was immediately closed and stopped receiving self-recommendation materials from villagers.

Three days after the closure of the museum, the recruitment hall reopened, and the self-recommendation list of all states, prefectures and counties was uniformly publicized in the museum, and the number of official vacancies and specific official positions in various places were announced at the same time.

At the same time, the Zhaoxian Hall announced that starting from three o'clock the next day, the township sages of each state will take the state as a unit and make a self-recommendation statement in the designated room of the Zhaoxian Hall at the appointed time, and will not wait for the obsolete.

The next day, nearly 20 villagers in Yingzhou waited in front of the selection pavilion of the recruitment hall, behind them were Suzhou townsmen, then Huangzhou townspeople, followed by Jiangling Mansion townspeople, there were several waves of people behind them, and the time for each state townsmen to enter the selection pavilion was only one hour, and it would only be long.

As soon as the hour came, the guard on duty guarding the selection pavilion opened the door.

The official in front of the door holds the roster, and after singing the name of the state, he checks the self-recommended township sages one by one, and after confirming that it is correct, the township sages whose origins are the same state capital enter the selection cabinet.

In the selection cabinet, in addition to the prime minister Chen Kangbo, who presided over the matter, there were also members of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Households, accompanied by Wailang, who participated in the selection.

Chen Kangbo, on behalf of the imperial court and the Zhaoxian Pavilion, told everyone about the situation and difficulties of the imperial court after moving north to Bianjing, expressing the imperial court's bitterness of exempting the three-year tax payment in order to reduce the burden of the people and make the world stable as soon as possible, and told them that now the imperial court is newly moved, it is more difficult, and the villagers in the Zhaoxian Pavilion have a vital role in stabilizing the place.

After seeing that everyone understood what he meant, Chen Kangbo immediately announced that he had begun to recommend himself.

The village sages are all human spirits, and they can't hear the meaning of the prime minister.

In fact, after filling in the self-recommendation materials for the first time in the recruitment hall, the villagers basically understood the meaning of the imperial court, the imperial court is not short of money, for them to exchange money for officials, this is a rare good thing in a hundred years, once this kind of opportunity is missed, it is difficult to have it again.

The Great Song Dynasty has always been a scholar in the imperial examination, and if you want to be an official, you either have to study hard and be admitted to the Jinshi, or your parents are high-ranking officials and have the favor of the imperial court.

Now that the court is in difficulty and urgently needs money, they can exchange the money for an official position and title, this is an opportunity to cultivate in several lifetimes, who is unwilling?

So, when Chen Kangbo's voice just fell, there was a townsman who stepped forward first, walked out of the crowd, and bluntly said that his family has a thousand acres of fertile land, a thousand acres of mulberry fields, three textile workshops, two dyeing workshops, two silk villages, the silk cloth produced is exported to Jiankang, Yangzhou, and there are a lot of grain harvested every year、Silk village one, to celebrate!

Who knows, the household official said that donations are a good thing, but the imperial court cannot accept the donation of these industries, and it is impossible to send people to Yingzhou to specialize in these industries!

As soon as the countryman's mind turned, he immediately replied that he meant to donate all these properties to the imperial court every year!
