"Look at this, my lord."

Prime Minister Ji was busy for a day, first sending the team of people who married Princess Qingde out of Kaifeng Mansion, and then discussing the founding of the East China Sea with Wu Haowen in the political affairs hall, and was busy until dusk before returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion in a daze. Before he could catch his breath, his eldest son, Ji Jun, who graduated from Gezhi Academy, stuffed a copper coin over.

Ji Yi was stunned, he had been an official for so many years, of course he didn't receive less money, but this was the first time he had encountered such a penny.

"Who?" Ji Yi frowned, "Who sent it?" ”

"It was sent by the head office of Jingdong Bank with a fast horse." Ji Jun replied, "My lord, this is the Republic Tongbao Xiaoping Coin minted by the Great Zhou Bank. ”

"Republican Tongbao?" Ji Yi took the copper coin, squinted his eyes, and strode towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Ji Yi's prime minister's mansion is not a gift, but a mansion purchased by Ji Kui for him. Luxury and extravagance go without saying. And the house is also equipped with servants, maids, singers, and housekeepers. In addition, the envoys and beauties brought by Ji Yi from the Cochin Country have hundreds.

Among them, the housekeeper and the beauties, as well as several older sons who followed Ji Yi. They all greeted him in the courtyard and saluted the traitor.

Ji Yi is seven or eight years older than Wu Haogu, and he is in his forties this year, so he naturally has many children. However, he took a concubine first and then married a wife, and he had ten concubines before he was twenty years old, so the eldest children are in their twenties this year, and they have all become parents. One of them also won the Jinshi, and now he is going to Tianjin with the King of the East China Sea.

And this young man named Ji Jun is Ji Yi's eldest son, a bachelor's degree from the Confucian College of Gezhi Academy, and later studied with Li Gang and Mo Li in Shanghai Academy of Arts and Sciences. He has also participated in the translation of some Western philosophical texts and is fluent in Arabic and Latin.

Such a talented man, because he is not Ji Yi's sister-in-law (Ji Yi and Zhang Dian's grandchildren gave birth to three sons and three daughters), so he did not receive shade compensation. Because what he learned was not in line with the imperial examination, he did not have a Jinshi background. It wasn't until Ji Yi Xuanma was recruited to engage in it. followed Ji Yi into Kaifeng Mansion.

"How much copper?" Ji Yi ignored the people who saluted him, and just asked as he walked.

"Fifty percent copper, fifty percent lead." Ji Jun said, "The market price for one tael of silver coins is 1,700 Wen. ”

"Is there any circulation in the Jingdong Market?"

"There were, and not a few. Zhou Guo has a strong ability to mint money, and has opened a large coin minting workshop in Tianjin. In addition, they are the ones who destroy the Buddha, and there should be no shortage of copper. The yield of this kind of republican Tongbao is definitely not low......"

"You can't make a lot of money, can you?"

"Nothing to be earned, a little hard-earned money."

Ji Yi walked into the inner hall, and while changing his clothes under the service of the female envoy, he said to his son, "Don't pay attention to it...... I want to mint a lot of white money, Wu Hao Guken helps, why not? A small profit, made by him. ”

The matter of casting white money is still ripping up!

The interests of the money supervisor are too great, and all parties are unwilling to let go. And the Great Song Bank itself is also a heavy profit, and all parties have to compete for official positions in it.

"My lord, the child is worried that the right to mint coins will be stolen by the Zhou State."

Ji Yi listened to his son's words and just smiled. Now is not the time to think about it, but to complete the formation of the Great Song Bank and finalize the matter of the big white money as soon as possible. Zhou Guoda's minting of white money happened to stimulate a few officials and officials!

At this time, he had finished changing his clothes, and another female envoy came in with a basin, wiped his hands and face and beard for him, and a plump and beautiful blonde came up to pinch his shoulders and beat his legs.

Ji Jun stood aside and continued to report: "My lord, He Wenzhen has come here again and sent the draft of "Juntian Case". He was going to give 10 acres of dry land to each of the poor households in Gyeonggi. There are also some tenants who are making trouble, claiming that they have deposited money from the landlord and are unwilling to return the tenants. Tsukasa Junda wants to transfer troops to drive the tenants ......"

"Mobilize troops to drive tenants?" Ji Yi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "He Zhuangyuan is dizzy!" While dividing the land, while retreating, it is necessary to transfer troops to drive out the tenants...... Dalang, you go to Junda Division tomorrow to count him down. If you still want to do it, don't leave anyone with a handle! ”

It's not that He Li is dizzy, but the problem of land is very complicated! Without one-size-fits-all force, it's hard to straighten things out.

For example, the hidden fields he found out in Gyeonggi this time were all cultivated by tenant farmers, and the tenant farmers were not necessarily bitter and bitter, and the relationship with the landlord's family was not necessarily seriously antagonistic.

Of course, the bitter hatred is deep and the tenant farmers must be the majority. But there are always exceptions, especially in Gyeonggi Road.

Of course, the people who can hide a large amount of land in Gyeonggi Road at the foot of the Son of Heaven are not ordinary landlords, but basically pro-noble families. The nobles and the tenants below were not necessarily simple commercial dealings, but there was a feudal dependency.

Some of these tenants were created by sending in - they were not real tenants, but rich peasants in the Gyeonggi area, who deposited their land in the names of wealthy families and paid a small amount of rent in exchange for asylum, so as to evade taxes and avoid forced labor.

Their tenants were very happy, and of course they were reluctant to turn back to yeoman farmers, let alone hand over their land.

The other part is the tribal tenants who have been attached to these nobles for generations, which sounds miserable, but the reality is very complicated.

There is an element of oppression in the feudal dependency relationship, and at the same time, there is also the possibility of the chicken and dog ascending to heaven. Such tribal tenants were often regarded as reliable persons by the master's family, and were an important source of servants, householders, and stewards and associates of the master's family.

Therefore, the main family is prosperous, and these parts can often be stained.

For example, most of the slaves, female envoys, housekeepers, and stewards in Ji Yi's family are from the Ji family's families in Suzhou and Xiuzhou. They have all followed the Ji family for generations and are very reliable. And the most reliable sailors in the Ji Jiahai merchant fleet also came from these generations of dependent tribes.

The Ji family also knows that they have to buy people's hearts, and they take great care of these parts, and the land rent they collect is also extremely low, and they can even not collect rent.

And some of the wealthy families He Li provoked this time are still relatively prosperous, and the life of following their subordinates is good. Therefore, Juntian Division, led by He Li, is now encountering the resistance of a large number of special tenants!

The Junda Division was not a powerful department, and the public opinion of the retro party was of little use to the peasants. If Tsukasa Junda misbehaves, it will become a pretext for political opponents to attack.

"The child will talk to him." Ji Jun nodded, and then said, "The child's two classmates in Gezhi Academy have arrived in Kaifeng Mansion today, both are law students, and they want to find a position in the government affairs hall. ”

Ji Yi nodded and said, "Law student, okay, let them come to see me tomorrow." ”

……

"The child has seen his father, his mother, and his mother."

In Tianjin North City, in the inner hall of Wu Haogu's waterfront farewell, Wu Yiyong was dressed in a neat military uniform, stood in front of Wu Haogu, Pan Qiaolian and Ximen Qing, and gave a salute.

Wu Haogu looked at his eldest son who was a talent, and he was very emotional in his heart. Time flies so fast, and in a blink of an eye, it's the end of the third year of the Republic. According to the Western calendar, it is the end of 1117, and in less than a month, it will be the fourth year of the Republic, that is, 1118.

I have been reborn in this era for 20 years!

In the past 20 years, he has brought about a strange change for the country and the nation that has not been seen for thousands or hundreds of years. At the same time, he also has a big family of his own, with 15 children and 7 wives and concubines. In addition, there is a queen mother's lover and two illegitimate children - the Empress Dowager Xiao gave birth to a daughter for Wu Haogu, named Xiao Yanniang.

Now this big family is about to develop into a big family! Because Wu Haogu's eldest son Wu Yiyong will soon marry Princess Qingde of Zhao Ji of the Great Song Dynasty, maybe by next year, Wu Yiyong will be a father, and he will be upgraded to become a grandfather!

It's scary to think about...... In his early 40s, he is an old grandfather who holds his grandson!

"Sit, sit down and talk." Wu Haogu smiled and sat down for his son, and then asked, "The princess will arrive in a few days...... I heard that she is a beauty! Do you know how to use beauty? ”

He asked...... Not only did Wu Yiyong's face turn red, but even Pan Qiaolian and Ximen Qing blushed a little.

"If you don't know," Wu Haogu smiled evilly, "let Sister Fei arrange it for you." ”

Sister Fei is Bai Feifei, and now serves as the head of the martial arts family together with Luo Hanwen. She is responsible for the training and sending and receiving of the beautiful artists in the family - although Wu Haogu is not very lustful Confucian, but his identity is displayed, and the beautiful artists who are embellished are always indispensable.

"Child, child......" Wu Yiyong stuttered a little for a while. In fact, Yan Po'er had already arranged a woman for him, but it was not easy to say.

Wu Haogu smiled: "Needless to say, Sister Fei will arrange it." He paused, "When you and the princess are married, you should have your own house." There are still a few vacant houses at home, you can choose one yourself, and talk to the arhat maid after you have picked it.

If you have a house, you have to be equipped with a housekeeper, a servant, and a maid, and the princess has her own dowryman, but she has to arrange it for your father.

In addition, you have long been a knight, and now you have officially received the rank of major. It's time to give you the estate...... I have already asked Sister Ao to do it, and I will find a better Zhuangzi in Yanshan Mansion for you, and turn it into your job field. There are still many good horses at home, and I will also let Sister Ao give you some. ”

There is no public land that can be granted on the Yandi side, but Wu Haogu can sell his private land to the Grant Field Division of the Household Department, and then transfer it to his son as a knight's manor.

Because Olga is a female knight (knights are usually men, but women are not completely excluded), have their own estate, and have a certain ability to manage the estate, so Wu Haogu's private land is entrusted to her to manage.

After talking about the Grange, Wu Haogu glanced at the eldest woman Pan Qiaolian again, and Pan Qiaolian said with a smile: "Big brother, when you marry the princess, you will have to live alone." Money is indispensable, you are now just a captain in the army (Wu Yiyong has participated in many wars, so his military rank is higher), his annual salary is limited, most of them are not enough to spend, and the Grange will not have much income. For my mother, I will allocate 100,000 yuan to you from the inner account room and deposit it into your account in the Bank of Tianjin. In this way, you can also have three or four thousand yuan of interest a year, if it is not enough to spend, talk to your mother. ”
