Zhao Dasha took a group of guards and came to visit Gao's house to find Gao Fangping.

"Xiao Wang meets the master."

The current Zhao Huan is a kind-hearted person with a tiger head and a tiger brain, thirteen years old, but he is still a little unkind in his personality. The ball was played well, but the results were poor.

Gao Fangping stood up and saluted: "The prince is polite, is there something wrong with coming to the minister?" ”

"Master, don't be surprised." Zhao Huan was rigidly reciting the rhetoric that his mother taught him, and said in a crepe manner: "I heard that the master will leave Beijing again soon, and I can't give Xiao Wang guidance." And then I had a knee injury......"

Gao Fangping touched his chin and said, "Lord Wang, what is the connection between my departure from Beijing and your knee injury?" ”

So Zhao Huan remembered the lines again and said: "Oh, that's right, the royal season is almost over, and the semifinals are coming soon." I want to invite the master to watch the battle, I heard that the prosthetic leg technology in the master's factory is good, in case I become disabled, I will make a prosthetic leg. ”

Gao Fangping was stunned and said, "Even if you have a leg injury, why do you have to hold on to the competition?" Isn't it enough to cultivate? ”

Zhao Huan said: "My mother asked me to hold on, and if I was injured, I had to kick it to my father." In case I have had some offended behaviors against my father these days, so that I will be seen by my father, in fact, I don't want to be embarrassed, but my mother said that I will play. ”

Gao Fangping said with a smile: "She thinks a little more about this matter." A few days ago, you planned to get two monks to fight with the Taoist, which is indeed a painful move. is obviously a bad idea from Rongde, a little fan who has watched too much Journey to the West. ”

Zhao Dasha was embarrassed for a while, he didn't like betraying his little sister too much, so he lowered his head and didn't speak.

"But it's fine." Gao Fangping said: "When I was a child, I also had similar thoughts to Rongde, but when I grew up, I knew that it was a mythical story. In fact, the official family will not be dissatisfied with you, Taoist question, I have already pulled the hatred of the Ra. The prosthetic leg is fooling, and if you can't kick it, don't force it. There can also be other ways to show filial piety, for example, if it were me, I would say these words directly to the official family, maybe the effect would be better? ”

Zhao Dasha nodded yes, but continued to pestle here after it was over.

This made Gao Fangping puzzled, and Shaoqing walked out with the idea of persecution delusion. Zhao Dasha panicked for a while and hurriedly followed.

Gao Fangping didn't listen to his call of "master master", and went straight to the kitchen, it was really a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain?

What the hell is a prosthetic leg or a semi-final, or something really. In the end, it was Zhao Jinnu who instigated Zhao Huan to use as a meat shield to pull the calf, so that she could hide here and eat the Gao family's secret kimchi and cucumber.

Seeing Gao Fangping and Zhao Huan coming in, it means that they have been recognized, and Rongde Little Lori wants to run, but there is nowhere to run.

"Why do you have a bad idea to steal food?" Gao Fangping said curiously.

Zhao Jinnu said: "I ate what Liang Hongyu brought to the academy, and I liked it, and it was rumored that the master of the Great Demon King slammed the door, so I had to make this decision." ”

Gao Fangping touched his chin and thought for a while: "If you eat it like this, it will be weak, and I also have a secret sauce that is delicious when you put it on it." ”

Zhao Jinnu said curiously: "But I thought it was like this, Liang Hongyu brought no sauce." ”

"That's because she prefers the original, and that doesn't mean the sauce is bad." Gao Fangping ordered someone to bring out a jar of secret sauce.

Zhao Jinnu muttered: "No wonder although it is delicious, I found that what Liang Hongyu brought was always missing?" ”

Next, the second talk about eating kimchi, Zhao Dasha mixed the sauce, and he was very happy to eat, and he ate it openly, and he ate it very refreshingly.

Rongde's little Lori was already half-full, so she could only watch Zhao Dasha eat......

It is now the autumn of the second year of the Great Song Dynasty, and the early autumn is of course the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is also a very important festival in the Great Song Dynasty. But at this moment, Gao Fangping once again had to stagger the major festival to go to the frontier.

On this morning, Su Zhe, the household servant, trembled his body, pestle with a cane, and he couldn't be old anymore, and was supported by the guards to see Gao Fangping for a debriefing, and then he was going to resign from his official position and return to the countryside.

"Su Lao, don't get excited, sit down and take a sip of tea slowly, and then tell me everything you want to say." Gao Fangping took out a good tea to entertain him.

"Xie Ming Mansion."

Old man Su replied in the usual ominous tone, his face was very ruddy, and he looked very happy.

I don't know why, it seems that the end of his life is approaching, and it is also the last debriefing of the official, he chose to come to Gao Fangping instead of Liang Zimei, the Chinese scholar, nor the prime minister Cai Jing.

In fact, for him, this last debriefing to find Gao Fangping will not be very solemn and not enough face.

Speaking of which, this old man is an interesting person, and he is also a troll type of person. He and Su Shi are the same science and science scholars, and they are the people who took the exam together. Later, the table criticized Wang Anshi's Qingmiao method, and then of course he was driven out of the capital to do Qiu Ba.

It turns out that Wang Anshi is not always right, and of course there is something wrong with his seedling method.

After Su Zhe worked hard for many years, he went to the Empress Dowager Gao to listen to the government and used Sima Guang as the prime minister, so the old Su Tou also came back, became a household servant, and also served as a heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials. During this period, he began to spray Sima Guang again, saying, "Don't think that I sprayed Wang Anshi back then, and now I will tolerate you to subvert all Wang Anshi's policies, although Wang Anshi has been sprayed by me, but he is not always wrong."

And then he also scolded Zhang. It was the minister Zhang Dun who opposed Zhao Ji's accession to the throne. The old Su who is not a cow man is still not scared.

Later, Su Zhe was demoted out of Beijing again, and after Zhao Ji ascended the throne, Lao Su came to the capital. So this is also a classic case of a doctor in the Northern Song Dynasty who will not die if he dies.

Under the rule of Zhao Ji, although Su Zhe was not reinstated, although he was old, he was still invited by Uncle Zhang to come out to do things, that is, he served as the household servant he once did, until now.

Speaking of which, in Cai Jing's era, the Great Song Household Department was the healthiest department so far, in fact, Zhang Shuye was not the main credit, the real credit was this old man Su Zhe. When Uncle Zhang was in charge of the household department back then, he was also scolded by this old Su on many issues.

For example, this year in history, Cai Jing made a moth to add tin to the copper coin due to the lack of copper after the failure of the evil government such as the big ten coins and the people did not recover and recuperate, and also demanded that the tin money and copper coins be equal, and forced the people to accept it.

Theoretically, money is a symbol, and when everyone follows the rules, then tin money can also run. But because Cai Jing has too much shit in his buttocks, a large group of protégés are like ten coins, with the help of Cai Jing's evil tin money, they mint private money to get copper, and force the people to accept worse tin money. Carried out the Nth money policy search operation.

Well this is history.

After Gao Fangping came to the Great Song Dynasty, he changed this trajectory and derived banknotes with a certain reputation. However, before Gao Fangping's envoy at the end of last year, Cai Jing still asked for an increase in the issuance of banknotes to alleviate the money shortage. At that time, Gao Fangping did not agree.

In fact, the main player who scolded Cai Jing in that incident was not Gao Fangping, but this old Su Zhe chased Cai Jing for a long time, and Gao Fangping did not let go, so Cai Jing's policy of using the iron and coal transported in Xixia as the target to print money failed.

"Old Su, now that you have submitted your resignation, you have come to report to me, there must be good news, right?" After reading the old man's resume, Gao Fangping said.

Lao Su smiled and said: "Thanks to the Ming Mansion that withstood all the pressure and entered the Western Xia, the old man came to report the good news, and now the money shortage that has plagued me for a hundred years has been initially alleviated." This is certainly the Ming government's move to love the people like a son, and it is also the most effective answer sheet for the old man who has served the Great Song Dynasty all his life. Now I feel powerless, and I plan to return to my hometown, which is considered a success. ”

Of course, Gao Fangping knew the inside story, but since the old man said so, he let his official career go on for the last time, and said with a smile: "The kid is puzzled, please ask Su Lao to solve his doubts, why does this matter have anything to do with my murder in Western Xia?" ”

Su Zhe said with a smile: "The Ming Mansion was not confused at that time, and accepted the old man's suggestion, and rejected Cai Thief's proposal to issue paper money with coal as the target, which is the blessing of all the people and the credibility of my Great Song Dynasty." Although it is difficult for us to see this blink, the credibility of banknotes is greater, and more and more people are accepted. With the deepening of the science and science promoted by the Ming Mansion and the research and development of various engineering equipment, it has also had an impact on the excavation technology of the Great Song Dynasty, so now many copper mines that could not be mined in the Great Song Dynasty have been mined, and then the copper transported in the Western Xia is also increasing significantly. This can really be used to print money after earning. In addition, due to the deepening of the navigation technology promoted by the Ming Dynasty, coupled with the delivery of the big ship, and the magic steam turbine as the power, the current data monitored by our household department, the data of the trade between Suzhou Port and Hangzhou Port to the Japanese Island, is 17 times higher than three years ago, the proportion of silver imports is increasing, and the degree of acceptance of our Great Song Dynasty banknotes by the Japanese people is also deepening, and everything is moving in a good direction. ”

After a pause, Lao Su concluded: "The Ming Mansion is in the future, but don't forget in this cause, there is also a hard work and blood and tears of the old decay." ”

Gao Fangping said with a smile: "Yes, my Xiao Gao makes a permanent promise to record your contribution to the honor book." Su Lao is relieved to tell the old man. ”

After finishing his happiness, the old man began to talk about the embarrassment, coughing and saying: "The only cancer at the moment is in the southeast department, although the city berth department of those ports is a direct unit of the Ministry of Households, and the right of foreign trade has always been controlled by the central government, but this is also the joint jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households. The household department has the general leader of the uncle and the old man, but there are many problems in the Ministry of Rites. In addition, due to the Ming Mansion's Jiangnan development policy at that time, the current center of trade with Wadao is Suzhou Port and Hangzhou Port, which are after all local government affairs controlled by the southeast system, and there are those tumors, and the loss of Dongying trade can be imagined. I don't know if this problem will be solved in my lifetime. ”

When the old man said this, Gao Fangping really had a headache, even if he beat the Taoist priest half crippled this time, and knocked down one of the pillars of the southeast system, Xu Jiang. But the problem of Zheng Juzhong and Cai Bian is still thorny, Cai Bian, as a former senior scholar of the Imperial Palace, one of the heroes who enthroned Zhao Ji back then, and a true favorite minister, cooperated with Zhu Mian, another favorite minister, over the years through the Ying Gong Bureau to pay countless tributes to the greedy Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji is also an easy-going and righteous person, so ah, it's really not something that can be done overnight.

Even Gao Fangping is sure that with Cai Jing's declining momentum, the day when Cai Bian will enter Beijing is getting closer and closer.

Youdao is a part of human behavior, and the only person who can get Cai Bian out of Bianjing is Cai Jing. No one can do it except Cai Jing. Zhao Ji really likes Cai Bian. At that time, Cai Bian went out of Beijing and Zhao Ji did not intervene, there was only one reason: the person who did this was Cai Jing, and Cai Jing was Cai Bian's brother. This is a bit of a family law to serve, so that Zhao Ji is not easy to interfere. Then, Cai Jing was more favored at that time.

Then, Zhao Ji thought it was Cai Jing's loyalty and avoidance. After all, no matter what, a senior scholar of the palace, a ruler, and a brother almost controlled the imperial court and the royal internal affairs at the same time, which did not have a very good impact.

This is the reason why Cai Bian has been suppressed, and others can't ask about it. If someone else treated Cai Bian like this, he would definitely offend Zhao Ji as soon as possible.

Seeing Gao Fangping frowning, Su Zhe hugged his fists and said, "Mingfu, of course the old man knows that this is a problem for you." But as you famously said, difficulties are used to solve, and as one of the few ministers of the Great Song Dynasty who dared to act, you have the responsibility to press that 'little Cai thief' to death. This will indeed lead to some bad things, and even affect your prestige and interests, but as you said, not only the military and civilians need to sacrifice and sacrifice, but also the officials. You are the front line on this issue, you are the commander, and you cannot shirk it. ”

"You@#..."Gao Fangping was really squirted out by his choking mouthful of water, this old man is already useless, teach me to sell household registration books, he dares to use my words to brainwash others to persuade me?

"Say yes or no?" Lao Su began to force the palace.

If you change someone, Gao Fangping will agree to come down first, flicker around, and watch it when the matter is over. However, this old man doesn't seem to have long to live, and Gao Fangping really doesn't want to fool him and let him enter the coffin with the lies of the zaichen.

So Gao Fangping shook his head and said, "Maybe you don't understand, Old Su, but there are some things I don't want to lie to you." I am more afraid of death than anyone else, more selfish than anyone else, and more selfish than anyone else. So when there is a choice in the back road, I will suspend the offensive against Cai Bian. Because it would be bad for my political reputation, I would continue to wait for the right moment. Because other people are still immature now, the Great Song Dynasty will still need my prestige in the future, at least for ten years. ”

"This is the last request of the old man to the imperial court, Mingfu, do you really not agree?" Lao Su coughed fiercely.

"No, because I don't want to lie to you." Gao Fangping shook his head and said.

Su Zhe is not Zhang Kegong, and Gao Fangping is not a traitor. So Su Zhe didn't let Xiao Gao go further and didn't come to the stage, he didn't talk much, but he trembled with a sense of loss, and left the Gao family with the support of others.

Gao Fangping got up and sent him out, and when he arrived at the gate of Gaofu, he saw that it was like a small convoy, with three ox carts and some servants, ready to travel far away.

Looking at this situation, it is obvious that he no longer plans to wait for the approval of the Ministry of Officials, and he does not plan to meet anyone, and after meeting Gao Fangping, one of the Standing Committee members, it is equivalent to drawing an end to his official road. Su Zhe plans to go back to his hometown directly.

Su Zhe is a native of Sichuan, and his trip is to return to Meishan.

Gao Fangping said: "Old Su, the road into Sichuan is not easy to walk, or wait for a month and a half, I will soon enter Chengdu to take office, then we will go all the way, I will take care of you." ”

A bear-waisted and tiger-backed guard hugged his fists and said: "Don't work hard, my lord, he has been away from Sichuan for more than 50 years, he knows his physical condition, and now he is like an arrow, and he plans to return to his hometown when his mind is still clear, and one day sooner." ”

"That's okay, after going out of the city, go to Bi Shijing's military camp, just say what I said, let him transfer a forbidden army to go on the road with you, this is not a special escort, but Bi Shijing's vanguard entered Sichuan in advance, do you understand what I mean?" Gao Fangping said to the guard.

"Xie Gaoxiang takes care of him, and he understands his humble duties."

Then their little convoy drove in the direction of the city gate......
