"Fengheng Yuda", from the Book of Changes, it means that there is a lot of wealth and virtue, as long as a person has money, he has morality, and how much money there is is morality. has so much money in the skin of Zhou, and the morality of "rooster crowing in the middle of the night" is far beyond ordinary people.

By extension, the richer the nation, the more prosperous it becomes. Virtue is everything, and wealth is everything. To put it bluntly, that is: the emperor should have the grandeur of the Son of Heaven, dare to spend money and enjoy himself, and do not have to stick to secular rhimsies, otherwise he will lose the favor of God!

"Only the king will not", the words "Zhou Li" here, "will" is the meaning of accounting. At that time, Cai Jing told Zhao Ji that "Zhou Li" meant that as long as he was a monarch, he could spend money without restrictions; If you are too frugal, you will be no different from those ordinary people.

There is no theory in the world that is more in line with the little emperor's mind than this passage.

Speaking of which, the Great Song Dynasty now does have a prosperous and new prosperous scene, the Western Xia has softened, the Liao State has compromised, the small countries of Nanyang continue to pay tribute, the land has returned to the stream, the foreign trade income has risen sharply, the wealth of the court and the people is sufficient, this wealth and tax amount has exceeded the previous imperial courts, and even the later "Kangqian Prosperous Era" is speechless in the face of the tax amount of the Great Song Dynasty.

At the same time, the creativity of the Great Song Dynasty was also bursting, three of the four Ming Dynasty were born in the Song Dynasty, in addition, the original Huang Daopo reform of the textile machine was also formed in the Song Dynasty. Now that there is the variable of Zhao Xing, the technological creation of the Great Song Dynasty is even more uncontrollable.

The country's financial endowment is always spent and cannot be spent, and the expenditure items are declining, hesitating to stabilize the four realms, Song Huizong also began to reduce the army in this year, even if there is no Zhao Xing This variable exists, the number of the Great Song Dynasty Xiang Army and the forbidden army is also extremely shrinking, so that when the Jin soldiers are under the city, the Great Song Kingdom can't even make up the people who guard the city wall.

With the variable of Zhao Xing, although the number of troops in the Great Song Dynasty was drastically reduced. But because of the new musket, the combat effectiveness has risen in a straight line, and at the same time. These newly dressed armies sharpened their swords and stared around for their enemiesIn this era, the strength of the Great Song Dynasty made the whole of Asia tremble, and even its old enemy Liao was weakened by its own decline. And frequently make diplomatic concessions. There were already ministers of the Great Song Dynasty who talked about cutting off the local tax tribute of the Liao State, but because of Zhao Xing's resolute opposition, the matter was shelved.

The powerful Great Song Dynasty promoted the republic in China, promoted commercial theories, and opened cities everywhere, and maritime trade was no longer a high-threshold commercial operation for the common people. The huge wealth of the whole of Asia is concentrated here, and it seems that it is time to stimulate consumption and expand domestic demand.

Of course, in the Song Dynasty, stimulating consumption and expanding domestic demand was evil.

"The world is peaceful, the treasury is full, and the people are puffing up their bellies to sing the praises, this so-called abundance. Three generations of Wu have this flourishing? Cai Jing Zhenzhen said: "Since Fengheng." You can be big! ”

Song Huizong clapped his hands excitedly: "Qing's words are very good!" I've thought of everything I've thought of, so far. The only thing I have to do is rely on Qing. I didn't expect Tong Bandang to have such a vision, and recommended me such a great talent who could be comparable to Jiang Shang of the Zhou Dynasty and Kong Ming of the Three Kingdoms. I have Zhao Qing outside and Cai Qing inside. You can let go of your hands and feet to govern the world, that is, you don't care what it is, just have fun alone.

Haha, there is Zhao Qing in foreign affairs, and Cai Qing in internal affairs, so I will be a versatile emperor who is hard to find through the ages! To be a son of heaven who is politically clear, prosperous in all industries, prosperous in all arts, and enjoys all pleasures, Qing, I am counting on you. ”

Because of this theory, Cai Jing took the position, he was reappointed as the head of the household, and Su Zhe, the original head of the household department, was transferred to the Ministry of Rites, and the Great Song Dynasty began to enjoy luxury......

Zhao Xing, who was far away in Hangzhou, did not know the changes caused by his theory, and he led his sister-in-law Zhao Feng to inspect Hangzhou after the Keju competition, enjoying the warm hospitality of the people of Hangzhou while inspecting the customs of Hangzhou.

Zhao Xing is in a "human teahouse".

In the Song Dynasty, the "Favor Teahouse" was generally set up in the homes of residents, and most of these places that had the ability to open the Favor Teahouse were local aborigines, who were born and grew up in Si, and were more familiar with the local situation, of course, with the local officials.

Most of these people had been wealthy and left a big mansion for their descendants, and their descendants could not read, so they used the vacancy of their houses to open a "favor teahouse", this kind of "favor teahouse" because it did not belong to the business, nor did it belong to the business, so it happened to be in the blank space of the Great Song Dynasty law, and they operated the teahouse without tax burden at all, so they came and went to the nearby villages, or there were a few spare money in the city, and there was a lot of time to spend a lot of leisure class. Therefore, this kind of teahouse that relies on the affection of neighbors on the left and right is called "human teahouse".

The "Favor Teahouse" has been exhibited in the Great Song Dynasty for more than 100 years, and gradually, it has added another item that is recognized as the person who opened the teahouse, relying on his familiarity with the local officials, to help the guests seek to reach communication with the government, which is the origin of the modern call for "favors" through the back door.

In addition to communicating with the government, the Favor Teahouse also helped guests with trivial matters, such as helping guests date their lovers and providing a place for guests to meet in secret. People who are not familiar with them are generally not accepted.

In ancient times, due to the lack of telephone and QQ, it was not convenient to communicate with people, and the emergence of "people's teahouse" made it a kind of social lubricant, therefore, its existence also became one of the unspoken rules of Song Dynasty society, even Song Huizong dated Li Shishi to communicate through the "people's teahouse", in this case, officials around the country naturally can't think of taxing the "people's teahouse", although Zhao Xing's things are more against the sky, but he is now sitting in the "people's teahouse", as the highest local governor, but there is no awareness of reporting tax evasion.

Speaking of which, this teahouse does have a favor with him, the owner of the teahouse is a retired van army, he came to Hangzhou with the army, and once participated in the West Lake renovation project organized by Su Shi, and then this person settled in Hangzhou and married a girl who had worked in Zhaoxing Castle. Most of the officials in Hangzhou were the companions of the Xiang army, and most of the officials were students, merchants, and officers who had been in and out of Zhaoxing Castle. Just looking at Zhao Xing's ability to come to his teahouse to drink tea, he knows that the teahouse owner has done a very good job in this regard.

It was not only his eldest son who accompanied Zhao Xing to drink tea. In addition, there are Cao Sheng, the eldest son of the next generation of the Cao family, Zhang Yan, the eldest son of the Zhang family, and Shi Cheng, the eldest son of the Shi family, among these people, Shi Cheng is the oldest, about fifteen years old. The rest is just years. This age is the most naughty time, but they sit in front of Zhao Xing, but they are obedient like cats.

At the door of the teahouse, the black man Tyson was drinking water boringly, this tower-like strong man is now in his thirties like Zhao Xing, and he has been pampered for many years. made his body a little blessed, and Zhao Xing has been by his side for many years, which has also made him a little more arrogant, he drank tea while squinting at the guests who came in, with a look of disdain.

In the teahouse, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl looked at the water dish and sang the lyrics softly. Hangzhou is Zhao Xing's world, and the most popular ones are Su Shi's poems and Zhao Xing's plagiarized poems. The girl sang Su Shi "When is the bright moon".

In recent years, Hangzhou has developed into the northern center of Chinese music. On the one hand, it is because Liao Xiaodi exists, and on the other hand, because "The Legend of the West Chamber" was born here. Qin Guan is equal to poetry, and everyone has pointed out the singing methods of the musicians here. Therefore, readers in the southeast area often say: "Hangzhou is full of humanities." The West Lake opera was at its peak for a while, and even the Hangzhou kaki who had not yet entered the stream were brought to the capital. can also be a popular line. ”

But this remark obviously did not include the girl who was singing. She knocked on the water dish, the sound of the dish was crisp, but the singing voice was weak, Cao Sheng rolled his eyes when he heard it, and Zhang Yan was full of impatience. Among these children, only Shi Cheng and Zhao Feng were steady, these two people were expressionless, but their eyes had already revealed the meaning of brushing their sleeves away.

At this moment, the owner of the teahouse walked into Zhao Xing with a smile with a box, and whispered: "Da Lang, there is a favor!" ”

The owner of the teahouse had never worked in Zhao Xing's manor, he used the title of "Da Lang" purely to get closer to Zhao Xing, Zhao Xing raised his head, glanced at the other party with a smile on his face, stretched out his finger and pointed to the gift box, and asked, "What kind of favor?" ”

The owner of the teahouse sneered and replied: "The guest heard that the lady of the Li family loves gold and stone, so she specially found this ancient jade of the Zhou Dynasty and wanted to give it to the little official, but he only asked the little official to nod his head and give him a permission to go to sea." ”

In other words, this favor was given to Zhao Xing's child, Zhao Feng. The person who gave the gift can be described as shrewd, knowing that Zhao Xing lacks nothing now, so he transferred the gift to Zhao Feng, but the object of the gift was Li Qingzhao, Zhao Feng's wife who had not passed the door.

With such a twisting mind, I have to admire the exquisiteness of the giver.

In fact, when facing Zhao Xing, not only the Hangzhou businessmen who wanted to go the way were worried, but even the little emperor in the court was also worried. In the West Garden, after the little emperor finished talking with Cai Jing, he asked Cai Jing worriedly: "Cai Qing, Zhao Qing has sent me some overseas islands again, how should I reward them?" ”

This question also stumped Cai Jing to promote Zhao Xing's official, the other party is now a second-class official, and if he wants to be promoted, he must be transferred back to Beijing, and the prime minister of the non-political affairs hall is not enough to make the other party excited. But Zhao Xingming held an official position in the capital, which was not uncommon, otherwise he would not have asked to be transferred to the local government...... What's more, Cai Jing is only a few products now, and he brought an adult to ride on his head, and Cai Jing is not a fool.

If you don't get promoted, you will be promoted, Zhao Xing's current title is high enough, and if he wants to be promoted, his title will be better than those descendants of the founding generals, so where is the hairpin family.

If you don't get promoted, you don't add a knight, so don't reward money in front of Zhao Xing with the word "money", this guy opens up sea trade, and when it comes to wealth, it is possible that the Great Song Dynasty treasury is not as rich as his family's money, and if you want to reward him with money, how much is enough. Moreover, Zhao Xing himself also said that the land is priceless, what he got back to the Great Song Dynasty was the land, and if he wanted to reward him with money, what price should his merits be measured.

It's not like to reward it, I think that the former emperor Zhezong tried his best to suppress Zhao Xing and transfer Zhao Xing's credit to Zhao Xing's boss, but now, who is Zhao Xing's boss.

Thinking about back then, Zhezong treated Zhao Xing like that, and in the end, what did Zhao Xing do The first emperor died, Zhao Xing led the troops to surround the Jingshi and supported a new emperor who was satisfied with himself, there is this precedent in the past, who dares to instigate the emperor to snub Zhao Xing now?

Cai Jing couldn't answer for a long time. However, Gao Yu solved this problem, he clapped his hands lightly and spit out two words: "Calligraphy and painting!" ”

These two words reminded Cai Jing. He slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Yes, it's calligraphy and painting, when Zhao Xing entered the Beijing imperial examination in the past." Entangled with Li Gonglin and Mi Fu all day long, and later he had close contacts with Po Xian and Huang Tingjian, even counting below, he interacted with us, and the most eager was to collect our calligraphy and paintings, and the official family inherited Wang Xu. It's better to give him a few calligraphy and paintings, which is also a great favor. ”

Song Huizong clapped his hands and said: "Ah, Uncle Wang gave him a picture of Xiaoxue in a fishing village, so that he promised to take care of this king......"

Song Huizong's words stopped abruptly, and after a pause, he said again: "Yin and his descendants, I will reward Zhao Qing's children again, so that they will also be glorified in front of them." ”

Cai Jing's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly suggested: "Yin and Zhao Xing's descendants." It's better to benefit Poxian. I heard that Su Guo, the eldest son of Po Xian, has just left Beijing, and if the official family rewards Po Xian's descendants. Zhao Xing must understand the intentions of the official family. ”

Song Huizong nodded in appreciation......

Hangzhou, inside the Teahouse. The third son of Jiangmen watched with envy as Zhao Feng opened the gift box and took out the ancient jade in the box. In antique identification. Zhao Feng is a mallet, he looked at the colorful ancient jade with a confused face, this ancient jade is a semi-circular jade, Zhao Xing is still laughing on the side: "What kind of thing is this, look familiar, don't make it by our family." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Feng handed the jade to Zhao Xing, and begged: "Father-in-law, you check it, Qingzhao has a fierce temper, if you give her a fake thing......

Zhao Xing replied with a smile: "No need to look at it, there are two ways to dispose of this kind of thing, one is to buy it regardless of whether it is true or not, and give it to the little lady of the Li family, to show your concern, even if it is fake, it doesn't matter, our family can afford to buy fakes." ”

Zhao Feng snorted and said, "Another way...... How is it? ”

Zhao Xing was angry: "I, Zhao Laohu, glared, the whole Nanyang had to tremble, how could I give birth to you such a cowardly child!" Another way is to give her money and let her decide whether to buy it or not. ”

Zhao Feng pinched the jade, was silent for a moment, and replied: "My father's two ideas are both bad ideas!" ”

Zhao Xing nodded: "It's a little tasteful, this is like my child." ”

The owner of the teahouse asked on the side: "Da Lang, this person ...... favor?"

Zhao Xing shook his head: "Rules, the rules I set cannot be broken by me, the power to review the maritime trade license is in the city, he himself submitted the application, as long as the conditions are met, there is no difficulty, why ask for favors?" ”

The teahouse owner sneered and explained, "Da Lang, what he wants to go to is Tianjin!" ”

Zhao Xing sighed, thought for a moment, and replied: "Let him hand over the application, and I'll investigate!" ”

Tianjin is a new vertebral field set up by Zhao Xingxin from the mouth of the Liao, because this new vertebral field is built on the territory of the Liao State, the control is relatively strict, and there are many bans on trade, this person wants to go to Tianjin, obviously, the business he wants to do is not a normal business approved by the imperial court.

The teahouse owner turned around, and soon turned back, handing Zhao Xing a piece of letterhead, on which was written the name of the businessman, as well as the guarantor, Zhao Xing casually stuffed it into his sleeve, waved his hand at the teahouse owner, and the teahouse owner bowed and retreated.

No one bothered him, Zhao Xing pricked up his ears and listened to the guests in the teahouse whispering about the situation in Hangzhou, and their discussions included not only the latest foreign trade trends, but also the judicial situation in the mainland of Hangzhou's official office, and of course, some people talked about whose woman was worth dating.

In recent years, Hangzhou exhibition is getting faster and faster, when Su Shi renovated the West Lake, making it a famous tourist attraction, in addition, the roads in Hangzhou counties are smooth, but also make the flow of goods convenient, which has brought a huge flow of people and logistics to Hangzhou, Hangzhou's market is becoming more and more prosperous, but also makes the income of the people of Hangzhou rising.

Food and clothing are abundant, people's spiritual outlook is different, the plague-ridden city is now full of vitality, the people are full of satisfaction with their own lives, full of confidence and happiness when talking, Zhao Xing listened to the conversation of the people of Hangzhou with satisfaction, and time passed silently in the tranquility.

In the Jasmine Garden, the atmosphere was not relaxed, Chen Yiyi's brother Chen Gongchuan was dressed plainly, and he was begging his sister around: "Yiyi, you say something, you help say a word for your brother!" ”

Chen Yiyi frowned, and replied slowly: "Brother, the beginning of the day is the husband, the husband is the wife, now I am a member of the Zhao family, my son inherits the Zhao family's property, what does the Chen family's affairs have to do with me?" ”

Chen Gongchuan stomped his feet and replied, "Sister, how can you say such cold words, your mother's family is not good, how can the Zhao family take a fancy to you." ”

Chen Yiyi smiled: "Brother, you are provoking, not to mention the three outlines and five constants, just say that the sister herself, I and Zhao Lang are now vines and trees, and they depend on each other, the Zhao family is me, I am the Zhao family, why do you fancy what you don't like, this is a matter of one and two, two and one." As long as my husband loves me and loves me, it is the Zhao family who loves me and loves me. ”

Chen Gongchuan shook his head and complained: "Sister, my Dayue relies on the annual tribute in exchange for a little Song goods, and then resells overseas merchants to make a profit. In addition, Guangyuan was taken by you again. Now, I can't make ends meet, and if we continue like this, we won't even be able to pay our official salaries next year.

My brother's requirements are not high, as long as you go and tell the people who leave, and allow me to participate in the maritime trade, it will be done, and you won't reach out to help your mother's family in this little thing? ”
