The country of Boni is the name given to Brunei and the countries of Kalimantan in the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Xing paused and continued: "In the country of Boni, there is a Song street by the river (Brunei River) that flows through the national capital, which winds for five miles. You go to that street and tell the Song people that the Great Song Naval Division has been established and can provide them with escort operations in the future, and I don't plan to investigate their behavior in staying in the vassal state, and let them come to Guangnan to register as soon as possible.

You asked the Song Shang of Xia Bo Ni, I remember that there were a few oil pools on that island, and they were emitting stone grease out of them. You tell them that we are going to buy that kind of resin, and how much we want, and we all ask for it to be shipped in large iron drums, and the iron drums can be purchased from us, and I will give them a good price...... By the way, since the Yangtze River went to sea, you took a trip to Mizhou and ordered a flat horse boat from Mizhou to specialize in trafficking this kind of stone resin.

You have to tell Song Shang that I am going to order it for a long time, and let them purchase this stone grease in large quantities for me, and then when my ship arrives, we will ship it together......"

When Wan Qianyong heard this, he was taken aback: "My lord, are you saying that there is a Song street in Boni, and it stretches for five miles, how many Song merchants should live here, and I am afraid that there are 10,000 people?" Why is there no record from the government? Haven't heard of it yet? ”

"Asian Kuwait" has a Song business street in Boni, which has nothing to do with Zhao Xing. Purely normal history.

Zhao Xing went out to the sea and found that near the capitals of various countries in the South Seas in this era, there were a large number of Song people gathering to do business, not only Brunei. And in the real history, Brunei was later invaded by the Arab religion and experienced a cultural destruction, and the existence of these Song merchants was not even recorded in Brunei itself until later. Archaeological excavations have only been discovered.

The Song merchants stranded overseas were a group of "people forgotten by the times". There are many people with similar fates in the Nanyang area, but they are all now members of the Zhao Xing Nanyang Alliance. In recent years, Zhao Xing has gradually condensed the Nanyang Song people and gathered them into a huge force to influence the fate of Nanyang. It's just that this kind of behavior is still an act of "forgotten by the times" - the Great Song Dynasty does not know about it at all, and people who know it abroad have no interest in the government.

Chen Buqun heard Zhao Xing reminding him that he was a person who knew the inside story, so he hurriedly replied to Zhao Xing cryptically: "Teacher, don't worry, I will come back this time, I will go to Bo Ni first, and then go to Mayi." Then go to the Lion City (Singapore). Then he fought to break into the Indian Ocean and probe the pirates of that ocean to declare the existence of our Quang Nam naval army. ”

Another meaning in Chen Buqun's words was that he would go to various gathering points of the Nanyang Alliance, inform those members of Zhao Xingdi's existence, and tell them that now that the Nanyang Alliance had obtained the official status of the Great Song Dynasty, he could secretly support overseas Song merchants nearby, and this kind of support could even bring official colors......

Zhao Xing nodded, and Chen Buqun ran towards the military port in the distance, and then followed. The big ship began to raise its sails and gradually sailed out of the port, and Zhao Xingmu saw the big ship out of the port. suddenly slapped his thigh, and said in annoyance: "Ah Ye! I forgot to tell him: Guangnan construction needs a large number of slaves, those Kunlun slaves on the Nanyang Islands are really easy to capture, I need him to capture seven or eight hundred thousand slaves to save me the cost of road construction......"

Wan Qiyong urged: "Okay, my lord, it is impossible to do this in one day." I'll tell him when he gets back. Now let's hurry up and go to the lifting division. Lord Huang, they are waiting there in a hurry. ”

Hong Kong raised the Yamen, and the four bachelors of Sumen have finished bathing. In the swimming pool in front of the door, a few children are still playing greedily, and the adults have begun to pack up their houses and prepare to settle down.

Since Zhao Xing's yamen was built in Hong Kong, it imitated the architectural style of villas in Hong Kong, with a huge swimming pool built in front of the door, and a spacious steam room and hot tub behind the door. This villa is all built with huge stones, I didn't expect it to be popular throughout Hong Kong immediately after completion - because Hong Kong is close to the sea, few people lived in the past because typhoons often go ashore to destroy the houses, so that the people can not settle, this stone structure stone house came out, immediately solved the typhoon troubles, so that the yamen everywhere smoothly settled, and then, the nearby salt merchants attached to the official office to build a piece of open villa houses.

Soon, the area became a Hong Kong scene as well.

At this time, the bachelors who had finished bathing had already changed into the potato yarn prepared by Zhao Xing, and were sitting under the eaves waving fans to enjoy the coolness. Zhang Lei, nicknamed "Fat Fairy", was fatter, and while eating the fruit handed by the servant, he called on the widow to dance the fan faster. While Huang Tingjian and others were eating watermelon, mango and other seasonal fruits, they still had the energy to watch the children playing in the swimming pool, and their female dependents were guarding the pool, for fear that the children would have accidents.

In addition to these female dependents, there are also several widows in the swimming pool and local hired Yizhai girls, including Guangxi Wuhu people (the Song Dynasty's name for the Zhuang people, also known as bureaucrats), Wuxi Man (Yao people), and Yi people, but they did not wear their own national costumes, but wore two pieces of cloth similar to modern bikini swimsuits, and took care of the children playing in the pool. Those merry bachelors are not so much taking care of the children as they are paying attention to the girls in Yizhai.

Hearing Zhao Xing's footsteps, Huang Tingjian turned his face, opened his mouth and swallowed the words back. Zhang Lei snorted, and his mouth was not idle, so he could only wave his hand. Chao Buyi wiped his sweat while drinking the sour horn herbal tea to relieve the heat, and only squeaked twice in his mouth. Qin Guan was quick to speak, and immediately said it for everyone: "I said a long time ago, I am a particular person when I leave people, and I will not treat myself badly when I go to Lingnan."

You see, people say that Lingnan is bitter, where is this suffering, it is clearly heaven and earth. Look, this beauty is moving, the scenery is eye-catching, it is really - wine is not intoxicating......"

Zhao Xing stopped at the beach chair, the two widows ran to Zhao Xing's side with small steps, took off their official clothes for him, and in a blink of an eye, Zhao Xing turned into a big shorts and a beach suit with a sweatshirt, he fell down and then fell on the recliner, moaning and answering Qin Guan: "Brother Shaoyou, what you just said can only be thought in your heart, how can you say it?" ”

Qin Guan smiled and asked again, "Are you a yamen?" How do I look like a tick bar...... No, it's a hook, but it's more like a house, and it's empty, and there are few servants to serve, compared to your house in Hangzhou. But it's deserted. ”

Zhao Xing shook his head: "What hook column...... Don't talk nonsense, fortunately they don't understand you, otherwise, you and I won't have a good life today - the women here are all my generals, generals, sisters, and family members. I hire them. It is to reduce the burden on the families of soldiers.

Don't blame me for not warning in advance! Yiren has a very strong temperament, likes to fall in love with Lang Jun, and is happy to be in love with a Yiren woman, because Yi Nu will serve her Lang Jun as a god, but ...... They don't just love it, because they need your lifelong affection. Once the back is abandoned. They can unleash Gu magic. Death with you.

As for this house, it was built at my own expense, and in addition, I also built several houses in Guangzhou, all of which I built with my own money, and it cannot be regarded as official property, and the property rights only belong to me. You brothers can live here with peace of mind. Haha, I didn't spend much time sorting out the new Guangnan Lifting and Coinage Division's Yamen, so I organized a military camp and a warehouse. Dedicated to the storage of coins. Usually I was too lazy to go to the Yamen of the Lifting Division, so I built a number of more houses at home for the officials to work in my place.

Because it's cool and comfortable for me here. There is also a lot of food, and the officials also like to work here, and by the way, they can also let their children go to school at home in the backyard. The children also like to come to my pond after school. Senior brothers, you also leave your children here, you can study and play. The brothers and sisters are fine, and they can also go to the home school to teach the students and their own children, which can be regarded as killing time. ”

"Come on!" Qin Guan said disdainfully: "Take a look at these girls' clothes. I know that it is out of your evil tastes. It's hot here, how can you wear so little? ...... of prostitution and theft But I love it! ”

As he spoke. Wan Qianyong came over with a team of servants holding a thick text, he first saluted Huang Tingjian and others, and said apologetically: "Lord Huang, Lord Zhang, Lord Chao, Lord Qin, they are not outsiders, so I am welcome." My family is busy with business, so I'll ask a few questions here, and I'll deal with it in a while. ”

Huang Tingjian and the others owed a return gift, Wan Qianyong turned around and reported to Zhao Xing: "My lord, the price of grain has risen sharply recently, 300,000 people have come to Guangnan East Road, and the families of those people are still coming to Guangnan to reclaim the famine, although it is now the summer harvest, but the price of grain still can't come down, in the past, it used to sell 23 wen per bucket of rice, and it has risen to 51 wen recently. ”

"Send money", Zhao Xing said simply: "What are the festivals in May?" ”

"Dragon Boat Festival", Qin Guan opened his mouth quickly, and replied with his fingers: "It's the second day of the fifth month, and it's the Dragon Boat Festival." ”

"Then in the name of the Dragon Boat Festival, give ten buckets of rice to each household, and add consistent money - except for Guangzhou Mansion, more than 700,000 people and more than 80,000 households on the entire Guangnan East Road, every family has a consistent payment, plus rice money, the government will spend a maximum of 100,000 yuan, and we will pay this money", Zhao Xing replied lazily.

Wan Qianyong frowned: "My lord, we have already sent 600,000 yuan this year, and if we send money again, the people have more money in their hands, and the price will not rise?" ”

Zhao Xing clapped his hands and replied: "It's good!" We have mobilized a large number of people to reclaim the famine, and the price of grain has doubled, which means that our income from land reclamation has doubled in vain. Brother Wan, don't worry, rising prices mean strong investment. Don't you see that the students in various schools are now red-eyed, and it is said that some people have invented the use of silk yarn to be attached to the window as a window screen.

Now that we Guangdong students are red-eyed, and when prices rise, they have to raise the wages of workers; Factories are set up everywhere, and workers can easily find jobs, and the wages given by this factory are low, so he can't keep people, so the salary will continue to rise......

As long as the people's income rises more than the price rise, the price rise is a good thing. This year's Dragon Boat Festival doubled the supply of rice for government schools and county schools, and the festival rewards for officials will exceed the regular salary - the income of the readers has gone up, who will complain. ”

Wan Qianyong made a mark on the file, beckoned to another person, and continued to report: "My lord, since the new machine was installed, there is no fixed amount of new money minted by each money casting division, we need to hurry up to Qianzhou to raise the division, and we must go back to the money casting file of previous years to determine the amount of money minted by each money supervisor next year." ”

Zhao Xing smiled treacherously: "There are a lot of disadvantages in the money casting divisions in various places, and the Qianzhou Promotion Division doesn't want to hand over the files of previous years to us, and I don't want it yet." It is precisely with this opportunity - new machines and new personnel that we have created a brand new Quang Nam money prison that is completely controlled by ourselves.

The reason why there is no limit to the amount of money minted by the major money supervisors is because the leftovers of the money are all owned by them, and the more they are minted for the government. The more they land on their own, the more they will of course have to mint money like crazy. But we don't need to panic, because we mint metal money, and every coin is real money. Wherever you go, you have to recognize its value, and we also have a Guangzhou Bo Division. It leads to the whole South Seas, to the whole world.

Isn't the whole Nanyang popular currency of my Great Song Dynasty? It's okay, just let them mint more money, and hand over part of the money to the imperial court as appropriate, and spend the rest of the money on Guangzhou. Order: There is no need to be serious at the checkpoints in each city, and we acquiesce in allowing our Song merchants to carry Song money out of the country. Let Song Shang take the money to go to various countries to purchase goods. Let the countries of the South Seas bear the consequences of inflation for us, and buy back all their wealth and labor output with our copper plates.

We are not afraid, the more money we mint, the more we are like a big magnet, absorbing the wealth of the surrounding countries and provinces into Guangzhou, which is called the central effect of a strong economy. Don't be afraid of minting a lot of money, tell the major coinage supervisors that I am never afraid of people who work hard, and last year agreed to count and let them mint. I counted as much as I could, and gave them a commission according to the agreement. ”

Wan Qianyong casually made a record on the file, and Huang Tingjian interjected with a smile: "I often hear that the method of making accounts without people is extraordinary, and the accounts that have been done are not understandable to others. I've learned these golden hands today. ”

Zhao Xing proudly explained: "Actually, this is nothing, it's just that as the saying goes, all evil people eat food." I call it a deficit economy. The money spent for several years a year, and if this money is invested, no matter what they produce, they must be taxed to the government, for example: when buying grain, grain merchants have to pay taxes; When traveling by boat, the ship's merchant is taxed. Go to the tavern to eat and drink. Tavern Tax......

If this huge amount of money is invested, the government's tax revenue can immediately leap forward. And it's more than doubled. After that, we need to control the reporting, hand over the taxes to the imperial court, and report a small increase. Part of the excess tax revenue is used to pay off the deficit, and part is used to continue investment to maintain sustained high growth. After a few years have passed, the deficit has been paid off, and the tax revenue has increased tenfold, the local economy will naturally take off.

However, this method requires a clean government. Because in the middle of this, if another corrupt official embezzles the high-growth part, or if an official who is eager for quick success and quick profit hands over the excess part to the imperial court for the sake of political achievements, the local economy will collapse in the next year. Because there is no money to pay off the deficit, the treasury is empty, and the government still owes a large amount of debt, and there is no money to continue to invest in maintaining development, so the local economy will inevitably be out of control - for example, Lu Huiqing is now working on Huanqing Road, which is this kind of collapse. ”

Chao Buzhi didn't know if it was hot or what, he was sweating all over his head, and he didn't know whether it was cold sweat or hot sweat, he wiped his sweat frequently, and said: "Fortunately, after I took your seat in Yangzhou, Xiao Gui Cao according to the rules, completely operated according to your methods, and filled all the holes you left behind, otherwise, Yangzhou, the hub of the world, will also collapse." ”

Zhao Xing nodded and replied: "Fortunately, it is the teacher and you who have taken over, otherwise, Yangzhou's economy will indeed collapse, but now, its taxes have risen more than five times...... I have just come from Yangzhou, and I heard that although the deficit in Yangzhou has been paid off, the magistrates there are still hiding the increase in taxes from the imperial court, and the excess money is used to maintain the navy, and the rest is divided privately - fortunately, they are divided according to the proportion of the share I left behind. ”

Huang Tingjian asked curiously: "Is the situation on Huanqing Road very bad?" ”

Wan Qianyong had already finished the file at hand, and interjected to answer: "Lu Huiqing held back for a year last year and didn't get oil and water, and at the end of the year, he insisted on deducting the tea and medicine money and war subsidies issued by the imperial court and not repaying the bills. It happened that in February, the Empress Dowager Liang sent troops to extend, Huanqing Road had neither military funds nor military food and ordnance, and could not send troops to support the extension of the road, as a result, the Empress Dowager Liang broke the Jinming Village again, plundered for 50 days and returned, and the nearby roads sat and watched the entry of the Western Xia soldiers, and did not dare to dispatch.

After this incident, I see that the Empress Dowager Liang has known the reality of Huanqing Road, and she will definitely turn to attack Huanqing Road next year.

Alas, the people of Huanqing are suffering......"

Everyone sighed together, Wan Qiyong took the last dossier, and said with a smile: "My lord just said that the students of Guangnan have red eyes, and they keep registering the application law of various things in the Copyright Office, and there is also a document here that involves the adult-the adult talked about the canvas water hose in Lianzhou. After the conversation, I forgot to register in the yamen, and even a student in the prefecture didn't even know how to weave canvas, but the next day he went to register the application of water hoses.

Just now, the officials below sent this registration report for approval. It scared me...... What should I do if an adult sees it? ”

Zhao Xing stood up with a swish, raised his eyebrows, and was about to roar and get angry, but when he thought about it, he was angry and funny.

Cybersquatting!

I, Zhao Xing, invented something that was preemptively registered by the Song people, what kind of world!

Zhao Xing's fingers flicked, and he said thoughtfully: "This is a good opportunity - Shang Ying's change." need to be trusted by people; Simon Leopard controls the water. It is also necessary to convince the people that whatever we do, we need to build the credibility of the government. It is better to take this opportunity to let the people of Quang Nam know that we are trustworthy and promise the people that we must abide by the rules and abide by the law. ”

Wan Qiyong put away the file and asked Zhao Xing: "What does Lord Zhao mean." How do you plan to build the integrity of the government? ”

Zhao Xing continued: "How about a lawsuit with him? ”

The four scholars of Sumen couldn't interject on this issue, so they could only listen quietly to Zhao Xing's conversation with his master.

At this time, the kind-hearted Huang Tingjian's gaze at Zhao Xing had changed a little. He looked at Zhao Xing, and then at Wan Qianyong, his demeanor was as if he had seen two big conspirators planning a shocking conspiracy in front of him, and there was regret, incomprehension and reproach in his eyes.

Zhang Lei's heart was wide and fat, he didn't care what Zhao Xing did at all, and continued to nibble on the strange tropical fruits on the table without worry. Qin Guandi's eyes were already attracted by the bikini girl playing in the water by the pool. This moment. He drank herbal tea and wore expensive hashtags. Someone around him was playing a light Luo small fan, if it weren't for the fact that the brothers were still around, he almost suspected that he was not belittled, but returned to the officialdom banquet.

The only one of the four who was most concerned was Chao Buzhi, who listened intently to Wan Qiyong's conversation with Zhao Xing. I only listened to Wan Qianyong's suggestion: "If this is the case, Cheng Zhengfu needs to say hello there, and besides, it is not appropriate for adults to come forward in person." If an adult comes forward, I'm afraid Cheng Zhengfu will not be able to withstand the pressure and will obviously favor adults. In this way, it was originally a good thing, but it left a situation of bullying others. But if it were on our side, if the people who came forward were not enough, it would not attract the attention of the people of Quang Nam......"

Zhao Xing clapped his hands: "By the way, let Hu Ji Kasli come forward, this canvas weaving skill is dedicated to Taizu by a happy person, and Hu Ji is also a Hu person." Others couldn't figure out the difference between her and Yici Leye, so she came forward to fight a lawsuit, and the weight was enough. ”

Wan Qianyong echoed and said: "That's right, no one can tell the relationship between Hu Jike and adults, neither far nor close, she came forward just right." It's just that Cheng Xian needs to explain clearly, lest he be sentenced directly. ”

The prison on Guangnan East Road was returned to Cheng Zheng's auxiliary management, and his place of administration was Shaozhou. If you want to file a complaint, you must go to Shaozhou to file a complaint, which means that Zhao Xing must open the road - since last year, Zhao Xing has closed several official roads in the province under the banner of road repair, and these official roads are not allowed to go, but they are strictly investigated.

Zhao Xing immediately instructed: "Cheng Xian, you go there in person, simply explain the truth to him, and say that I just want the people of Guangnan to know that I am a person who abides by the rules, and everything is done according to the rules." Therefore, the law will judge as it should.

In addition, seeing that the summer harvest is approaching and the people are inconvenient to come and go, our road to Huizhou Lianzhou has also been repaired, and all roads in the state will be opened from today. Order: The people who built the Huizhou road were transferred back and began to build the road from Yingzhou to Shaozhou, which was still built according to the specifications of the Huizhou road, with a resting pavilion every ten miles and a post station every thirty miles...... You have a notice, announcing that the right to operate those resting pavilions and post stations will be auctioned off next month, telling them that there is no need to pay taxes or fees to operate the rest pavilions and post stations, but they are responsible for maintaining the roads along the way, and the maintenance fees will be paid from their local income, and the government will no longer allocate funds. ”

After a pause, Zhao Xing said again: "Cheng Xian has to go out in person, you might as well be vague about Kasli's identity, just let him understand it in his heart......

Kasli's identity cannot be ambiguous, she is Zhao Xing's concubine, and she is a concubine who has passed the service period. According to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, she is now only a servant girl at most. But she is equivalent to a secret by Zhao Xing's side, and dealing with the merchants of Guangzhou is precisely her forte, so she has been in Guangzhou for less than a month, and she has been responsible for supervising a large number of cases of Zhao Xing in the city - but it is precisely because of Kasli's identity that it is convenient to serve as a plaintiff.

After Wan Qiyong finished reporting, he turned around and was about to leave, Huang Tingjian hurriedly stopped him, and said: "Leave people, it is said that this should not be said by me, the criminal officer, but you just talked about changing the law and winning the trust of the people, and the examples given are extremely inappropriate, Shang Ying, Ximen Leopard, who are they, this example is spreading, I am afraid that the imperial history will not be able to get along with you again!"

Besides, if the local government legislates privately and exercises legislative power, this is a conspiracy against the law, and if no one in Guangdong sues first, it will be fine, and if someone sues, it will be ......."
