Where there is contrast, there is naturally harm. Therefore, after the fact, Zheng Xia found out that he was miserable this time.

The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people. This is a gift that Cai Dao left for Zheng Xia when he left the capital, and this nursery rhyme invisibly put huge pressure on Zheng Xia.

At first, Zheng Xia didn't think too much of it and scoffed at this small method. However, after returning to Bianliang City after the trip to Luoyang, he suddenly found that now he himself has not only lost his reputation among officials, but also become a complete hypocrite in the eyes of the common people. Compared with the rumored fortune boy Cai Dao in the rivers and lakes, it is even more starlight than candlelight.

Luoyang Mansion devalued him even more worthless.

Cai Dao hasn't made a direct move yet, just a backhand left half a year ago. In the harvest year, Zheng Xia pitted himself by himself.

After learning the news, Cai Dao must have been very happy about this matter. For the political wisdom of Cai Qu and Zhang Dun, I also had the most intuitive feeling for the first time.

The purchase of grain on both sides of the canal and the regular closing of grain with the participation of many inspectors of the imperial history basically ended after a month.

Many of these inspectors, who had been appointed for less than a month, had the first honorable title in recorded Chinese history - temporary workers.

More than ninety percent of the candidates recommended by the conservative ministers failed to succeed in becoming regulars, except for those new science and technology scholars, these people were busy, and in the end they didn't even get a single official hair. Zheng Xia, who was unlucky, not only did his reputation stink in the Luoyang area of Xijing, but after returning to Beijing, he was hung up by Song Shenzong, not to mention the specific official position, Song Shenzong never summoned him again.

Of the candidates recommended by the reformers, less than 10% of them were successfully converted to formal supervision of the imperial history. This rate is actually very high, after all, the number of people who supervise the imperial history itself is not fixed, but it is determined according to the wishes of the officials. Of course, Song Shenzong would not put such an important department under the command of the Fa Reform Sect, and opening up his views was a necessary quality for every emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

Seventy percent of the remaining candidates have specific official positions, which are available in various departments, and except for a few candidates with outstanding performance, the others are drawn up by the relevant personnel of the Ministry of Officials.

The remaining two percent, some of which were corroded and co-opted, did not need to be dealt with by Song Shenzong, Cai Qu and Zhang Dun hated these anti-bone boys, so they all relegated them to Lingnan.

And those pure nerds, those who have a backstage are arranged to be taught in the capital, and those who don't have a backstage are all placed in a poor and remote place as the main bookkeeper, which can be regarded as making the best use of people.

On the contrary, Cai Dao was the most profitable, and Song Shenzong gave him the entire Shuibo Liangshan, of course, it was not a fief. It was only handed over to him for temporary management, and the decree also said that neither Jeju Governor, nor Juye County nor Yunseong County were allowed to interfere in the operation of this land. However, Song Shenzong did not give this land to Cai Dao in vain, he still set conditions.

This condition is that the entire land on Shuibo Liang Mountain, regardless of whether it can be cultivated or not, will eventually be handed over to the state twice the annual tax. This refers not only to the field tax, but also to other harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes. For this reason, Song Shenzong also specially sent officials belonging to the conservative faction in the household department to measure the land area of the entire Shuibo Liangshan Mountain, so as to use this as the basis for collecting taxes.

Shuibo Liangshan was only really built in the Song Dynasty, and the actual land area will continue to change according to the local hydrological conditions every year. Therefore, after the leading conservative minister honestly measured it, he deliberately reduced the taxable land area by 10% from the actual measurement results.

However, Cai Dao did not accept the other party's kindness. The larger the area actually measured by Shuibo Liangshan, the more the harvest results will show his own ability, and he is completely worthy of the nickname of 'Fortune Boy'.

In order to thank the forbidden soldiers who sacrificed their lives, sacrificed or were disabled in the sneak attack, Cai Dao also specially requested that the disabled forbidden soldiers, their families, and the families of those forbidden soldiers who lost their lives all be placed in Shuibo Liangshan. Losing the breadwinner of the family, if there are no brothers, is undoubtedly a disaster for their families.

I don't kill Beren, but Bern dies because of me. ’

Since entering Bianliang City, how many such 'Boren' have died because of him intentionally or unintentionally? For this, Cai Dao himself is not clear. However, as long as he knew one, he had to find ways to help them or their families.

This is the principle of Cai Dao, a silk man.

After Song Shenzong saw his twists and turns, his attitude towards this matter was also indispensable. is still a child, if Cai Dao is fifteen years old this year, no one can say whether his own head will be cut off because of such a small request.

Fortunately, he was only six years old.

For such a condition that seems quite harsh to others, Cai Dao happily follows the will in front of the herald. It's not that he is arrogant, this little tax, in his opinion, just relying on the grain cultivated in the fields on Shuibo Liang Mountain is completely enough.

In the past month, Cai Dao has not been idle except for a few times in the first two days after the copper coins arrived.

His main task at that time was to make wine, after all, it was not cost-effective to collect so much grain and transport it to Bianliang City. Even if Shuibo Liangshan is connected to the canal, but if these more and more grains are collected, if they are not used to make wine, who can they sell?

Last year, the Hebei region of the Great Song Kingdom and the Nanjing region of the Great Liao Kingdom were both hit by locust plagues, but this year, Youzhou actually had a great harvest like the Central Plains. After the observation of the envoys of the Great Song Kingdom, the growth of crops in the fields of the Great Liao Kingdom was actually better than that of the Hebei region.

Therefore, Cai Dao arranged for the brewing master he brought from Xiaocili and the craftsmen recruited on both sides of the canal to reclaim the wasteland while collecting grain, and on the other hand to build a very large distillery, a smelter and a wineware factory.

The brewery is naturally used to make sake, the foundry is a tool for casting sake using metal, and the sake ware factory is to make pottery and porcelain for holding good wine. Cai Dao intends to brew the second pot head. This sake is relatively simple to make and has a spicy taste, making it ideal for people in cold regions.

This is the root of Cai Dao's plan to secretly implement the plan to hide wealth and enrich the people.

The wine was exchanged for gold and silver from the Great Liao Kingdom, as well as a large number of ploughing cattle. In the event of a cold winter, Cai Dao could also sell the wine through the merchants of the Liao Kingdom to the nomadic people further afield, in exchange for their specialties and the carcasses of cattle and sheep that had been frozen to death. In winter, the north is very cold, and it is a natural big refrigerator, and if these things are processed in time, they can be transported to the Great Song Kingdom.

These things can be offered to Song Shenzong, so that he can distribute the meat to the forbidden army as a reward for the New Year and festivals, which can not only improve the system of the soldiers, but also obtain other profits, such as sheepskins, cow bones, and the like.

With the secret instructions of Song Shenzong, the crown prince of Yan'an County, Zhao Maid, Cai Dao planned to promote his cultivation techniques and poultry or livestock breeding techniques throughout the north within three years.

The main thing is to promote the technology of pig farming. Because, once the scale of pig breeding in the Great Song Dynasty continues to expand, the slaughter rate and growth rate of pigs will be greatly improved, and the price of pork will inevitably be greatly reduced. At this time, when he was transferred to Jingyuan Road, he had already developed Dongpo meat, which greatly enhanced the edibility and taste of pork.

Once the ordinary people are introduced to eat pork in large quantities and regularly, it can not only strengthen the system of ordinary people, but also reduce the amount of food that ordinary people eat on weekdays, as well as their dependence on mutton.

Having lost the Hetao area and the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, the Great Song Dynasty originally lacked pastures, and the main source of sheep was to trade with the Liao State, Western Xia and Tubo, and the efficiency of the Great Song Dynasty officials and the common people was not high.

A pig, if the technology is promoted smoothly, this can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

One month is enough time for Cai Dao to set up these three factories, but he can't take care of the matter of winemaking.
