Chapter 216: The Quarrel in the Court (Part II)

For Zhao Guangyi, the word war, that is his eternal pain, as long as it is related to the war, he can't speak, because no matter what he says, it seems that as long as a person says a word, you haven't fought, he will say everything in vain.

This seems to be a strange circle, he is the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, the imperial brother who has not been officially canonized, and he is also a civil leader, over the years, he is no longer the gentleman who didn't know anything back then, he has been studying hard, has been growing desperately, but no matter how far he grows, as long as it involves military issues, he will definitely lose to Zhao Pu, just because, he has never fought.

How ridiculous is this, how ridiculous is this, tell me, what is the major event in the world at this time, which has nothing to do with war?

But he can't help it, he can only endure, even if he is 10,000 times better, he still hasn't fought, what can he do?

Then I'll have to talk about something else.

"Back to the official's house, the younger brother still feels that this matter is inappropriate, the military affairs of the younger brother do not understand, then the younger brother will not say, just say the cement itself, although the imperial court has built some cement factories in various places, but the main production of cement is still in Luoyang, the output, about 20,000 stone in January, these cement we must use ourselves, let alone 10,000 yuan, in Luoyang locally, the price of a stone of cement is about two dollars, but to Kaifeng, less to say that there is a consistent half, if it is transported to Qinzhou to sell, I'm afraid that five times the money is not necessarily enough, how much is a horse on the market now? Even if it is a good horse in the northwest, twenty runs, I'm afraid it is enough, plus the cost of burning bricks, plus our Great Song Dynasty has to send people to build for them, if this is regarded as a business, then where does the imperial court make money? ”

Hearing this, the officials all nodded, is what Zhao Guangyi said very reasonable, now the cement market, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a stone of cement and a stone of copper, and this horse is not impossible to buy, why use such expensive cement to exchange for those war horses that are not so expensive?

"Besides, when it comes to trade, my brother may have more dealings with merchants than you on weekdays, merchants, they are all profit-seeking, if they really let merchants dominate border commerce, are they really so willing to exchange for war horses? At what price will the court collect from the merchants? The price is high, the court can't afford it, what about the low? What are the merchants trying to do, isn't it good for them to change some animal skins? Even if the Hexi Corridor can really be opened in the future, the value of two war horses is not as good as a Persian carpet, why should they sell horses? Is it useful to give orders to the court in this matter? ”

Everyone nodded when they heard this, they know very well what the virtue of the businessman is, there are people who do the business of killing heads, and no one does the business of losing money, if the horse is not profitable, I am afraid that there are few businessmen in the world who really have such a sense of family and country.

Cao Bin suddenly stood up and said: "Back to the official's house, the minister thinks that what the two kings said is wrong, the cement matter has always been under the control of the minister, so the minister thinks that the minister can talk about it." ”

"Tell me."

"You all know that the price of cement in the world is almost equal to copper, that is because most of the cement produced is military, and there has always been very little inflow into the people, so do you know that when cement first came out, in the people, it was almost equivalent to silver?"

"The minister thinks that the price of this thing, is not so calculated, if the minister tomorrow will flow more cement to the people into a horse, believe it or not, the cement will depreciate ten times in less than a month, now in addition to Luoyang, the imperial court in Xiangyang, Langzhou, Yangzhou and other places have built cement plants, but the scale is not large and has not had time to put into production, and so they put into production, how can this cement be worth so much money?"

"To tell you the truth, the real cost price of cement is only a few pennies per stone."

"Speaking of the other expenses of building the city, the minister thinks, this is not a burden, but an opportunity for my Great Song Dynasty, the new army wants to be reorganized, it is necessary to create good employment opportunities for military families, recently the minister has been having a headache, this loyal army is the first to enjoy the treatment of the new army A hundred ministers are in favor, but where can the minister give them such an opportunity? It's okay if you don't have a family, you can transfer it back to Kaifeng, but what about those who have already become a family? Qinzhou is such an important strategic location, even if it is the destruction of Houshu, does it really need to leave troops to garrison? Seeing this excerpt today, the minister suddenly felt that the problem that had been plaguing the minister was not a problem all of a sudden. ”

Everyone thinks that this seems to make sense.

Even Zhao Kuangyin was a little stunned, things in the court are often like this, often the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, and in the end it only depends on his tendency, in this matter, Zhao Kuangyin, who was born in the military, is of course inclined to agree, originally he was going to make a decision, he suddenly paused, thought about it, and said: "What about Sun Chunming?" Is he on the top? ”

The civil and military officials glanced at each other and found that he was really not there, Zhao Guangyi said: "Sun Chunming is still in Kaifeng Mansion now, and he will only be there at the three great court meetings every month." ”

"Didn't you say last time that you wanted him to add the all-knowing Kaifeng Mansion? Didn't I already agree to it, and this hasn't been implemented yet? Why is it so slow? ”

Hundreds of officials are speechless, the system of these layers of constraints is determined by you, how low the efficiency of the appointment and removal of officials at this level is, don't you have a point in your heart.

"Call Sun Chunming over to me, and come in the future, don't be his bullshit pusher, from today onwards, everything will be known according to the right to Kaifeng Mansion, and the layers of procedures will be made up later."

This is what Zhao Kuangyin can say, if his descendants dare to do this, they will let the ministers spray to death, but who makes the family the founding ancestor.

So, half an hour later, when Sun Chunming walked in with the new identity of Quan Zhi Kaifeng Mansion, even he was stunned.

Didn't you say you just reported it? Got it done so quickly? Lao Tzu hasn't done anything earth-shattering recently.

"Sun Chunming, there is a letter here, it was sent by Guangmei from Qinzhou, and it is proposed to use cement to buy horses from the party, and also to open up economic and trade in the five prefectures of Dingdifficult, and even attack the Hexi Corridor, and the Chinese military has their own opinions, I can't make up my mind for a while, this cement thing was made by you, and you yourself are the first wealthy businessman in the Great Song Dynasty, you talk about it, what do you think about this matter."

When Sun Chunming heard this, he hurriedly took the excerpt, what is Zhao Guangmei's excerpt, he knew that his son did it when he heard the punctuation marks, and with the tacit understanding of their father and son, he actually couldn't even guess what his son wanted to do without even looking at it.

However, Zhao Guangyi coughed lightly and said: "Sun Chunming, don't be nervous, it is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits, the imperial court will not deliberately let you do a loss-making business, let alone promise for the so-called loyalty and patriotism for the world's businessmen, yes yes, no yes." ”

This is already Chi Guoguo's hint, after all, Zhao Kuangyin just said that the Chinese martial arts dispute between the DPRK and the DPRK just now, and did not say who is in favor of what, Zhao Guangyi is prompting him.

But seeing that Sun Chunming read the ten lines at a glance, he first glanced at Zhao Guangyi, and then raised his head and said firmly to Zhao Kuangyin: "The minister thinks that this is a great and feasible policy, and at the practical level, there is no problem." ”
