Zhao Xing didn't go straight to the Xiangguo Temple Wharf when he went out of the city this time, he went directly to Yingzhou after coming out of Nanxun Gate.

There are Su Zhe's eldest son Su Chi and second son Su Shi in Yingzhou, these two people went to settle in Yingzhou since their father was degraded, and Yingzhou has 300 acres of land left by Su Shi when he was too punctual, and the two families plan to live on these 300 acres of land. And Su Zhe's third son, Su Xun, accompanied Su Zhe to the south and went to the degraded land.

Yingzhou is the source of Chinese civilization, from the Han Dynasty there is China's big granary, but also the Chinese civilization talent training place, due to the premature, there land annexation is serious, a large amount of land is in the hands of a few families, some families in the hands of the title deed can even go up to 2,000 years ago. In such a place, the common people who own 300 acres of land are simply struggling in a poor county, and if they lose the support of officialdom, the situation will be even more unimaginable.

Zhao Xing went this time to support the two Su Chi brothers, although he beat some people away in advance, but there were still a full hundred strong soldiers with him, out of Jingzhao, Zhao Xing ordered the soldiers to wear armor, a water of silver plate armor on the body, each of them has at least a majestic Dawan horse, such a team walking on the road, it is difficult not to attract the attention of others.

When this team entered Yingzhou, the magistrate had already heard the news and rushed to come, at this time Su Shi Su Zhe's protégés were almost all degraded, except for Zhao Xing and Lu Tao, the rest of the Shu Party were like street rats, just wanted to hide, but I didn't expect Zhao Xing to dare to make a big fanfare, and Liang Ming drove a swagger to visit Su Zhe's two sons.

Zhao Xing got straight to the point, and after explaining the meaning of the future clearly, he replied arrogantly: "When Yingzhou is in the wilderness." My teacher used to provide relief and grain here. There are countless living people, and presumably the people of Yingzhou will save some face for their family teachers. This time I came to Yingzhou, first, to visit the Su brothers, and to repay the money. The family teacher and Su Sanzhang had a small investment in me, and now they have been relegated to Linghai, and their children and grandchildren have been stripped of their grace, and it just so happens that this money is used, and the master of the Fuzong is in charge to help me buy two fields in Yingzhou......"

Lord Fuzong thought for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement: "It is said that the current situation is ...... Xia Guan should not have come out in the first place. But Lord Zhao in order to take care of the teacher. At the expense of self-depreciation of Lingnan, such righteous deeds are praised all over the world. Why should the lower officials be villains in vain. There are several cases in the government office, which happen to involve a number of fields and houses that need to be sold by the government: there are seven good houses in the city and more than 4,000 acres of fertile land outside the city. There are two large fields in the contiguous area. One field is a middle field, 1,123 acres; The other field is slightly smaller, with 700 acres, which is also a middle field. There are several plots of high-quality fields, but the number of acres is small. Lord Zhao can take a look first......"

Zhao Xing first asked those fields: "What is the price of good land in Yingzhou?" ”

The magistrate bowed his head and exchanged glances with his secretary, and the secretary stretched out three fingers to make a look, and the governor of Yingzhou immediately replied: "Ueda runs three times and one acre......"

"This price is not right-" Zhao Xing interrupted the other party's words and interjected: "Several ladies in my family are in business, and this official has been a pacification envoy, so I know about the price of the acre. Your prices are lower...... So be it. I appreciate your kindness. But the ruler is not here to oppress the good, if the price is lowered, to buy. I'm afraid that the impeachment of the imperial history will harm you magistrates.

In this way, the official will pay a high price, I will ask for all the two pieces of Zhongtian, and then I want a piece of Shangtian by the Yingshui River, the number of acres does not matter, the official of Zhongtian will pay fifteen times per mu, and the field will be doubled, according to thirty yuan. The one who sells the land, you give the full amount of the land to the people. The extra money, you people handle it, and share a share of the benefits, which will be counted as the official's thank you. In the future, I will ask the officials to take care of them more, send fewer errands, and pay less taxes, and thank you very much here. ”

When the magistrate heard Zhao Xingdi's words, his brows jumped, and he immediately interjected and said: "Lord Zhao is too polite, these land cases are all lawsuits and disputes, sold by the government, and the full payment is already a grace to the landlord, how can you double the payment......

Zhao Xing smiled indifferently: "You also said just now: the current situation is not good, we have to be careful in doing things, it is nothing more than spending money to buy peace, hello, I am good, everyone." Everyone kept their mouths tight, and there was no reason to do it in the imperial history. ”

Fuzong also wanted to be polite, Zhao Xing's subordinates had already carried several large wooden boxes in front of the hall, they opened the lid of the box, and the lid was full of gold, all of which were beautifully made of gold coins stamped by the Wa Kingdom, which was golden, making the hall much more brilliant.

The secretary reacted first, he hurriedly held the yellow book and began to record the land change, and several scribes began to write the land transfer deed, arranged everything, the secretary approached Zhao Xing with the yellow book, and asked: "Lord Zhao, you bought the land, and the house in the city ......"

Zhao Xingyi waved his hand: "You just said that there are seven mansions that are suitable, I believe in your vision, those seven mansions are all bought, how much money should be paid, you can tell me, and you will let the officials lead me to hand over the mansion and land one by one." ”

There is money to make the grinding ghost, Zhao Xing more than 20,000 spills, the officials are very efficient, and after a while, the contracts are ready, and the Lord Fuzong also specially sent ten officials to accompany him throughout the process to assist Zhao Xing in handling the handover matters. Since the Su brothers are the family members of the criminal officials, they are not suitable to be summoned to the county government to discuss matters on the spot. After Zhao Xing completed all the formalities at the county office, he asked the officials to lead him to find the two brothers.

The two brothers are currently staying in a temple, this temple is not the most vigorous incense temple in Yingzhou, from the temple gate to look dilapidated, it seems that it has not been repaired for a long time. Miaozhu heard the news that a big official had come here, and hurriedly urged the Su Chi brothers to avoid it in order to make room for it, Zhao Xing heard a lot of chickens and dogs jumping in the temple through the wall, and he shook his head gloomily.

Who would have thought that the children of the great writer Su Zhedi would live in a broken temple and be driven away.

However, Zhao Xing didn't know that the Su Chi brothers had a broken temple to live in, which was a good place, and the most tragic of the Sumen disciples was Zhang Lai, who was the most brutally persecuted, rented a house and was driven out, the temple was demolished, and finally had to stay in the Chengtou Rong Tower, but even if the situation was so embarrassing, there was still an endless stream of students who came to the leaky Rong Building to ask for teaching...... Zhang Lai finally died in that tower.

The officials who followed looked embarrassed in the face of this situation, and Wan Qiyong looked at Zhao Xingdi with a wrong face on the side. He preemptively entered the small temple. explained to Miao Zhu that Zhao Xing had come to visit the guests in the temple, and suddenly, the temple calmed down. The Su Chi brothers rushed to the gate of the temple to greet Zhao Xing, and when they met, the two brothers cried.

Zhao Xing was silent for a moment, and then beckoned the two brothers to get up: "Your father Su Sanzhang once saved some money with me, I bought you some land and property in Yingzhou, and my people will come here to help you clean up your family business, you two brothers hurry up, I don't have much time." We need to get down to business. ”

Zhao Xing then turned to the group of officials and asked, "The seven mansions in Yingzhou City." Where is the largest one, lead us there. ”

The officials immediately set off. Zhao Xing waved his hand, and the hundred people he brought entered the small temple, and after a while, each person moved something, and the property of the two Su Chi brothers was moved into the carriage. The two were picked up by their entourage and hurried all the way to their new home.

This new house is a house left by a Yingzhou official in the past, there are five courtyards before and after, more than 100 houses, the furniture in the house has been emptied, Zhao Xing passed by the furniture store, by the way, let the furniture store send a complete set of furniture. There are more people and more money. That night, Su Chi's new home was cleaned up.

Zhao Xing took out the stack of documents that he obtained from the government office today and counted them to the two brothers Su Chi. Advise: "I can't stay in Yingzhou for too long, otherwise it will bring disaster to you, I will leave early tomorrow morning." There are a total of three land deeds, seven compounds, and your original 300 acres of land, I think it is enough to support your family.

At the end of this month, there are some Huanqing veterans coming, they are all disabled veterans, but each can fight, I left a message in the capital, and told them to send fifty people to you, and you don't have to worry about the safety of Zhuangzi in the future.

I have already taken care of the officials in the state, and the Lord Fuzong also handed over a message, although the land I left you is fragmented, but you two brothers must not split up at this time, the more you must unite at this time and manage this family well......"

Brother Su Chi thanked him repeatedly, the eldest Su Chi is 29 years old this year, he is steady, and when he saw Zhao Xingxing in a hurry, he asked with concern: "Brother Xing came to me at this time, I'm afraid the imperial historians will not let go of ......"

Zhao Xingyi shook his head and said disapprovingly: "I think when I was degraded by the original chapter, I also entertained him, and you said that others reported that I entertained the family of the criminal officer, what would he think?" ”

Su Chi nodded and replied: "In this case, Brother Xing had better leave tomorrow, and I will go to the official tomorrow to hand over these properties and fields." There is no need for Brother Xing to come forward. Zhao Xing nodded: "I think so too, you two big men, your father is not around, if you can't even support this family, it will make me very disappointed." So I don't plan to teach you how to manage the family business, Yingzhou is a big city, with a large population, many academies, and there are many students who come to study, and the remaining few small courtyards are rented to students at intervals, and you have a little living money on hand, and the rest is to manage the land, I don't care about these, I will leave you two thousand yuan, so that you can spend this green and yellow time, and in the future, I will be in the South China Sea, and the road is far away, so I can't take care of you. ”

Brother Su Chi thanked him repeatedly, Zhao Xing did what he said, the next day he came forward to reward the officer, and when the brother Su Chi followed the officer to accept the property, he carefully left ten horses for the two brothers, and then continued to move forward with the team.

This year is 1094, the last year of the seven-year disaster, the Great Song Dynasty survived this period of seven years of natural disasters, the fields can be described as full of devastation, although there is no large-scale escape in Yingzhou, but presumably this kind of day is not far away, because the natural disaster has just gone, * again.

After a trip in Yingzhou, Zhao Xing returned to the canal, and was already waiting for his fleet to pick him up on the boat, and began to rush all the way home, at this time there was another person on his boat - Su Shi's second son Su Yu.

At this time, Su Yu should be called Su Ding, the father of the Su brothers is named next to the word "car", and the children are all next to the "car". Su Yu changed his name to Su Ding this year to participate in the imperial examination, and was awarded the title of doctor in the imperial examination. Originally, he wanted to enter the Hanlin Academy directly, but because he took a recital to defend the policies of the first year, he was demoted to "participate in Guangdong Xuezheng", that is, the deputy director of the Guangdong Provincial Education Bureau.

Originally, Su Ding would not be in this position for too long, and others had not yet gone to Guangzhou to take office, and someone had already revealed Su Ding's identity to Zhang. Chapter rage. But his anger was much smaller than the anger of his history. Because Zhao Xing has obtained the official position in Guangzhou. Zhang felt that even if Su Ding went again, he would not be one of them. After hesitating for a moment, he swallowed this breath and pretended not to know about it.

When passing through Yixing, Zhao Xing went ashore again to stay, where Su Shi's third son, Su Guo, was stayed. In the original history, Su Guo stayed in Yixing for more than half a year before he scraped together enough money to rush to Huizhou to accompany his father, and now he is stranded in Yixing not because of money, but because of Su Dun's decision on who to accompany his father. Who will take care of the Changzhou family business.

Previously, Su Ding had been staying in Changzhou to help Su Shi run the grange in Changzhou. He was admitted from Changzhou. After his father was demoted, he wanted to sell part of the family property. brought to Huizhou as Su Shi's living expenses. But now that Zhao Xing has stepped forward, he doesn't have to sell his property, and all that remains is to leave a root in the Central Plains - that is, to leave an industry as a way out.

Among the two brothers, although Su Dun is only eleven years old this year, as long as Su Dun stays in Changzhou. Zhao Xing will definitely take care of it, which is far stronger than Su Guo staying. Besides, Su Dun has always been in weak health, and he is not suitable to go to a place like the poor mountains and rivers in the south. At the same time, Zhao Xing's opinion was also inclined to leave Su Dun, because Su Dun should not have existed in this world, and it was useless for him to go to Guangzhou to accompany Su Shi, it was better to stay at home and take care of Changzhou's industry.

After Zhao Xing made a statement. Things are getting easier. When Zhao Xing set off again, there would be one more Su Guo in the team.

This journey has been going for more than a month. By the time Zhao Xing finally went home, it was already the end of July. Staying at home, Cheng Azhu and Chen Yiyi dressed up to greet them, and Liao Xiaoxiao and Kasli, who rushed back in advance, also put on bright clothes to welcome Zhao Xing home. In addition to them, Zhao Xing was greeted by Li Gefei and his daughters Li Qingzhao, Li Zhiyi, Liao Zhengyi and other people and their families.

After the reception banquet, Wan Qiyong retired, followed Zhao Xing to Huanqing, and the children of Huainan also got a month's vacation, and went home for a vacation with the rich reward given by Zhao Xing. Li Zhiyi, Liao Zhengyi and others chatted for a few days, and also retired one after another, so that Zhao Xing could talk to his family about his family, but Li Gefei did not leave.

Li Gefei didn't leave because his daughter didn't plan to leave, and after everyone left, Li Qingzhao blinked his eyes and asked, "Lord Zhao, do you still remember Chun Thirteen Niang?" ”

Li Gefei was not very clear about such a secret talk in the boudoir, so he did not stop his daughter's question, but looked at his child with doting eyes. Zhao Xing frowned and thought for a long time, recalling this person: "It's Huangdi's little daughter, I remember when I was in the first place in the imperial examination, this girl was commanding a group of family members to catch her husband for herself, chasing Xu Shixi, the new science detective, and drilled the alley." ”

Li Qingzhao flashed his big eyes and said, "Lord Zhao still remembers Chun Sanniang, and must remember that you promised Chun Shisanniang to catch her husband for him in the second year, and you still beat your chest to fight the world!" ”

Zhao Xing slapped his forehead with his hand and pretended to sigh: "Ah Ye, why did I forget...... A lifetime of fame, ruined. ”

Li Qingzhao clapped his little hand and replied: "That's it, Chun Thirteen Niang waited for you for a year, but you didn't even have a letter the next year, she hated you to death!" ”

Li Gefei listened to the beads of sweat, he remembered that Zhao Xing came to Mizhou in the second year, and he did a good job, and the capital was privately rumored that he tossed the Liao people hard. Let a judge rush to the capital to catch a son-in-law for a little girl, these children really dare to think. Her daughter is really bold enough to take this thing out and accuse the famous Zhao Laohu.

Li Qingzhao was still unconscious, he stared at Zhao Xing's answer with wide eyes, Li Gefei was used to doting on his daughter, he was just sweating, but he didn't give even a slight persuasion. Zhao Xing had no choice but to change the topic: "I remember that she is not much old this year, what's the matter, is she not married well?" ”

Li Qingzhao nodded triumphantly and replied: "You can meet her this time when you go to Guangzhou, she is married to Su Xun, the third son of Su Xiaoshi, and Hu'er is staying in Leizhou with his father Su Xiaoshi. After a pause, Li Qingzhao added: "You can also see her father, Lord Huang is the deputy envoy of Jianghuai Yun, I heard that your official rank also has an official position of mentioning the pit and the money casting department, and this money casting department has a total of three deputy envoys of Jianghuai Yun in the world, and you are one of them, and you have to deal with Lord Huang." ”

The Tidian Pit Zhi Qian Division is the deputy envoy of the three transports, one is the deputy envoy of the Jianghuai Transport, the other is the deputy envoy of the Jiangnan Transport, and the new Zhao Xing is the deputy envoy of the Guangnan Transport. Huang's father-in-law is Zhang. And Zhang loves his daughter very much. He placed Huang in a position must be idle and fat, and it is inferred that Zhang placed Zhao Xing in the position of deputy envoy, and it was not all about the past.

The world's money flows through the hands of these three major transport envoys, and every year the government's fire consumption and achievements alone are a huge amount of money. This position is an ordinary official who wants to take on it even if he sharpens his head, Zhao Xing originally disagreed with this official title, but when he heard this explanation, his mind was spinning in his head, and he pretended to be very ashamed, and he bowed his hand to Li Qingzhao: "The little lady of the Li family." When I went back to see Chun Thirteen Niang, I must have asked her if she was dissatisfied with Hu'erman. If she is not satisfied, I will grab her husband for him. ”

Zhao Xing's words were close to ridicule. But who is Li Qingzhao, she is the two talented women of the Song Dynasty, the latter talented woman is the dating maniac Zhu Shuzhen, and Li Qingzhao is a gambling god and drunkard girl, she has no discernment of what Zhao Xing said. Instead, he nodded solemnly and advised, "Certainly, Lord Zhao can't say it this time...... Also, don't call me the little lady of the Li family, I have a name, my name is Li Qingzhao. ”

"Okay, girl, Miss Li Qingzhao. Let's go play with the maids. I'll talk to your father about a few words of adulthood. ”

Li Gefei doted on his daughter and jumped out of the door, he turned his face to Zhao Xing and smiled embarrassedly. said unintentionally: "My little girl is too pampered, and it's no wonder that she is a virtuous brother." ”

Zhao Xing shook his head: "Don't blame, I like this kind of character very much." I heard that Brother Li likes gold and stone, and I have collected all kinds of gems and jade at home, but I don't have much collection of ancient inscriptions, so I have the opportunity to have a good discussion with Brother Li. ”

When Li Gefei heard this, he had a black line in his head. He now understands that Zhao Xing is a mallet in terms of gold and stone. On the one hand, the ancients said that the gold stone is about seal science, and on the other hand, it is about the inscription left on the stone in ancient times. Zhao Xing directly took the gem and jade out to talk about it, but fortunately he finally said an inscription, otherwise Li Gefei would not even have the interest in talking to the other party.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Gefei felt that he didn't want to talk to Zhao Xingji on this issue, so he jumped the topic and said: "Duke Su didn't stay with you, and when I arrived, he had already left, saying that it was the law of the imperial court, and there was no room for delay, so he took a boat to Huizhou." I couldn't wait, so I had to wait here for someone to come. ”

Zhao Xing nodded and replied: "I inquired in the capital, and now Zhan Fan, the governor of Huizhou, Zhou Wenzhi, the governor of Xunzhou, and Fang Cipeng, the governor of Meizhou, still admire knowledge, and these three governors will wait for me to go to Guangnan, and then take a look at them specifically." Brother Li can temporarily serve as the governor of Duanzhou, which is Fuzhou, and Duanyan is famous all over the world. ”

Li Gefei was overjoyed, stood up and thanked him. This happiness forgot to continue the following topic, and instead chatted with Zhao Xing about Duan Yan. Just as he was talking about the excitement, Chen Yiyi walked in, glanced at Zhao Xing, and reported: "There is an official from outside the door, saying that the Privy Council is from the staff department and has come to visit your lordship." ”

Li Gefei hurriedly got up and retreated. Taking advantage of the gap when the servants went to greet the official of the Ministry of Justice, Chen Yiyi threw himself into Zhao Xing's arms and shouted, "I miss you, I miss you!" Dead ghost, I haven't come back for two years, and my son hasn't even come up with a name, so don't delay this time. ”

Zhao Xing hugged Chen Yiyi, kissed him deeply, and immediately turned the topic to the south this time: "Your child is too young to travel long distances, especially when you go to Lingnan, you stay at home and help me take care of my home." ”

"I don't, I don't", Chen Yiyi said coquettishly: "You go elsewhere, I can stay at home, that place in Quang Nam is across the sea from Cochin, I can just go back to my hometown from time to time, I want to go with you...... Also, I happen to take care of the industry in the South China Sea. ”

Zhao Xing hugged Chen Yiyi, sniffed the aroma of Chen Yiyi's sideburns, and explained: "I originally wanted to seek a seaside official position this time, and my best plan was to work in Shandong, which is a state with a large population, and it is easy to do things with many people, but I didn't expect that before I could speak, they actually assigned me to Guangnan."

Quang Nam is just right! We have been in the South China Sea for almost ten years, the first ten years were just to lay the foundation, and now the infrastructure has been built and perfected, it is the time to take off, we sit in Guangnan, just the nearest command, the South China Sea foundation bigger and stronger.

I plan to go to Quang Nam this time to spend money hard, I have earned money for so many years, it is time to use this money to build an immortal foundation. We will spend all our wealth and wealth in Quang Nam to build a fortress that cannot be penetrated by water, and I want to see who will dare to pinch me as a soft persimmon in the future...... By the way, where is Shen Kuo? Back to Dream Creek?

I knew he was an unstable factor for a long time, and I pulled him back. The large-scale revival of the New Party this time has nothing to do with him. He was a new party betrayal. After bringing him back, he asked him to develop a steam press for me, a hydraulic press is a step away from a steam press, but the effect is very different. This time in Huanqing, I am now full of water in the hydraulic press, can only stamping a few times, the water is exhausted to wait for the water to fill again, and the steam is different, as long as the boiler does not go out, it can work for 12 hours, and the principle is similar to the hydraulic stamping machine, all are punch transmission. ”

When Chen Yiyi heard the account and counted the money, he immediately straightened up from Zhao Xing's arms and replied: "Shen Kuo is looking for me, and I will tie him up to the Jiaozhi Guangyuan fiefdom, where there is more coal and iron, let him experiment well...... Brother Xing plans to spend all his family property this time, which is not an easy task...... Our family property is a living income, and even I can't tell how much it is. I remember that tens of thousands of dollars came in and out every day, and most often ships entered the port, paying hundreds of thousands of dollars, and more than one million dollars. Where is Guangnan sparsely populated, I'm afraid...... If we want that population to be enough to make a great cause, I am afraid that it will take one or two hundred years of continuous efforts. ”

Zhao Xing nodded: "Population-this is the key, I am ready to immigrate to Guangnan for one million, or even five million." In the past few years, there has been a great drought in the world, and although the government has provided relief everywhere, so that the people have survived this catastrophe, the treasury is empty, and then there is a small disaster that cannot cause a catastrophe and chaos. At this sensitive moment of implementing the new law, Zhang was even more afraid that the catastrophe would cause great turmoil, and I waited for the famine, and when the famine was together, I immediately started to emigrate.

As long as the people are allowed to reclaim land at will, there will be people who are willing to go down to the south of the Yangtze River and reclaim land for ten years, which will definitely change the appearance of Guangnan...... Of course, by the way, we will build a more solid foundation for Nanyang. ”

Zhao Xing also wanted to explain his plan further, and the servants had already brought in the official of the Ministry Division, who was still an acquaintance of Zhao Xing, Sun Cong.

Sun Cong is Zhang's confidant, it just so happened that he came back from Huanqing and escorted Zhang Wugongzi to make a great achievement, and Zhang was promoted to the rank of young eunuch after Zhang returned to power.

Now, this young eunuch personally came out to visit Zhao Xing, which made Zhao Xing full of doubts.
