In the early autumn of September, after a long journey of half a month, Zhao Zheng finally arrived at Lin'an Mansion, the center of the empire, and the imperial spirit of Zhao Song did not seem to dye this famous city in the south of the Yangtze River with majestic momentum. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Lin'an's intuition to Zhao Zheng is so soft and beautiful, like a charming woman walking diagonally on the shore of the West Lake, there is no heroic martyrdom of Jin Ge Iron Horse, only the sorrow of the willow bank and the waning moon.

At its peak, Lin'an Province had a population of more than one million, and this certainly included the counties under its jurisdiction. According to the "Lin'an Chronicles", there are more than 400,000 people in the urban area, which is not counting a large number of hidden populations, which shows its prosperity.

Zhao Zheng has been a tourist playing all the way since he entered the city gate, and the business is even more prosperous, with shops all over the city, and there is no place without buyers and sellers.

The woman in the hook bar is also very bold and bold, standing upstairs to passers-by, frequently throwing flattering eyes and twisting into a ball.

This time, Wang Fucai also entered Beijing with Zhao Zheng, and as soon as he entered the city gate, he was led by a small servant wearing a black robe. is a servant of the Shi family, and before entering Beijing, Shi Songzhi said in a letter that everything had been arranged for Zhao Zheng.

Huang Daochang had arrived at Lin'an Mansion three days ago and lived in the courtyard prepared by the Shi family.

The little guy at the door sang a promise, and the zodiac chief Erlang soon came out.

"The third brother is here!" A bland sentence, but the emotion is fermenting.

Counting up, Zhao Zheng hasn't seen Master and Da Lang Erlang for almost a year.

"Third brother!" Erlang beat Zhao Zheng's chest, without the slightest rustiness.

"Third brother, you have grown so tall!" Erlang looked at Zhao Zheng, who was a little shorter than him a year ago, and now he was half a head taller. The face is also out of the baby fat of a child, and there are already some contours, and he has really become a real teenager.

"Grown up!" Huang Daochang sighed with emotion, and there was also a little loss in his words, as if he was lost without accompanying Zhao Zheng to grow up this year.

(Ask for recommendation votes)

Zhao Zheng went up and hugged Huang Daochang, and took Da Lang Erlang with him.

"I miss you."

Huang Daochang was stunned, a little unaccustomed, but Zhao Zheng felt it in his mood at the moment, and there were some strange questions in his mind: "Is this a custom over there in the north?" ”

——

At night, Zhao Zheng's name post was cast to Shi Miyuan's mansion, it is not so easy to meet the current prime minister, the name post was cast, and it depends on whether Shi Xianggong wants to see you or not, whether he has time to see you. Even if you are willing, it is common to wait for ten days and half a month.

But Shi Fu sent someone early the next morning to say that Zhao Zheng could be seen tonight.

Zhao Zheng prepared and went to the historian on the shore of Dongqian Lake to meet the powerful prime minister and the actual ruler of the Great Song Dynasty, Shi Miyuan.

Zhao Zheng was led to a side hall by the doorman, Zhao Zheng was secretly a little disappointed, but unfortunately it was not the main hall, it seems that Shi Miyuan still regarded him as a man of strange abilities and magic, and failed to treat him as a national soldier.

In fact, Shi Miyuan advocates Buddhism, and it is rumored that he is the reincarnation of Hongzhi Zhengjue, the presiding officer of Tiantong Temple in the previous generation. Zhao Zheng naturally wouldn't believe this kind of nonsense, but Shi Miyuan told others that it was very interesting that he once met Guanyin in Putuo Mountain. The dignified prime minister also packaged himself in the words of gods and Buddhas.

In the side hall, Shi Miyuan sat on an incense table and meditated.

Tuk, tuk, the crisp voice of the wooden fish came, and there was an old man sitting on the incense table, and the furrows on his face made him look like he was about to die.

Purple clothes and jade robes, wooden fish is also a good mahogany, from the door, Zhao Zheng has been looking at the most prominent family in the Song Dynasty today, you don't have obvious gold and silver utensils in the house, but the materials, placement, all pay attention to it, this is probably the Northern Song Dynasty Prime Minister Yan Shu said that the pear blossom courtyard dissolves the moon, and the catkins pond is a faint breeze of the rich and noble image.

——

The two main stains on Shi Miyuan's political career are that he advocated peace talks with Jin, and second, he messed around economically, which tossed the Southern Song Dynasty very hard.

In history, all those who advocate peace talks probably don't have a good reputation, and who doesn't want a fierce general like Wei Huo in the country to chase the Huns for thousands of miles, and there is no royal court in the desert, and the wolf lives in Xu and returns. But the main analysis of the situation during this period, in fact, the peace talks are right, there is a hungry tiger in Mongolia, but it should not kill the dying wolf in front of him, after all, this fierce wolf changes over time, and the geographical location is more like a watchdog.

However, it is not known what kind of considerations Shi Miyuan advocated for peace talks, but judging from his deeds in power, it is more like simply denying everything about the powerful minister and Shi Miyuan's political opponent Han Yanxuan twenty years ago.

Han Yanxuan advocated the Northern Expedition, while Shi Miyuan advocated peace talks.

Han Yanxuan banned science, while Shi Miyuan admired science, used a master of science, and vigorously pursued Zhu Xi and Ercheng. This is probably the main reason why Shi Miyuan was not listed as a traitor by later generations after his death.

Han Yanxuan stripped Qin Hui of his title, and Shi Miyuan restored Qin Hui's title.

……

As for the second, the most important thing is to issue Jiaozi on a large scale to plunder people's wealth, which leads to inflation and a sharp depreciation of Jiaozi. The so-called Jiaozi, also known as Jiaozi, is a kind of banknote, which was first issued in the 31st year of Shaoxing (1161), with 100,000 guan as a reserve, which can be exchanged in Lin'an.

After that, the procurement of the imperial court was purchased with this kind of huizi, and sometimes even the officials' salaries were replaced by huizi, but the pit was that the local states and counties collected taxes and did not collect huizi, so many businessmen bought huizi at low prices in various places, and then went to Lin'an to redeem copper coins. Due to the large number of people, a run on the market was formed, which alarmed Xiaozong, who quickly recovered nearly 5 million yuan of silver coins from the treasury. At that time, there was a run on Huizi, but due to the swift response taken by the government to maintain the credibility of Huiko, and the demand for light banknotes in the private sector did exist, Huizi continued to develop in the future.

In the five years of the main road, Huizi changed to a demarcation issue, one realm every three years, 10 million yuan per realm, and each realm was used for six years (that is, two realms). After that, the number of Huizi issuance increased, but because the reserves were sufficient and the issuance did not reach the level of indiscriminate issuance, the Huizi was immediately "weighed" and recovered to prevent vicious depreciation when it encountered the depreciation of Huizi, so the Huizi maintained a high currency value. Later, the huizi became more and more indiscriminate, and the number of circulation increased, and in the Kaiju period, the huizi was changed to the parallel of the three realms, with a total circulation of nearly 70 million guan, and the thirteenth realm huizi was issued 47 million guan, so the value of the huizi was greatly depreciated.

When Shi Miyuan was in power, he printed a large number of new huizi, and no longer exchanged gold, silver, and copper coins, but only exchanged new huizi for old huizi, and discounted the old huizi by half. As a result, the price of the currency fell, prices soared, and the people were struggling to make a living. Jiading used troops, and the government issued 140 million yuan of banknotes. Shaoding's five-year circulation has reached more than 229 million yuan, and the indiscriminate issuance and depreciation of huizi have reached an extremely serious situation.

Some of Shi Miyuan's actions are enough to make him like a traitor, but Lixue can be said to have become an official school because of him, and the pen and the pen of later generations are all mastered by Zhu Xi and the disciples and grandchildren of Lixue, so Shi Miyuan is spared. If it weren't for Shi Miyuan, he really couldn't find any bright spots, otherwise it would be possible to be blown into a Zhongxing celebrity. There is also the fact that although Shi Miyuan is in power, and Song Lizong does not ask about political affairs, he is still respectful to Song Lizong and does not dare to go beyond the slightest. Therefore, after his death, Song Lizong did not open his coffin and whip his corpse, crush his bones and scatter ashes, but generously posthumously crowned him as the king of Wei, and gave him loyalty and preferential treatment to his descendants. From this point of view, Song Lizong and Zhao Yun are honest people.

After Zhao Zheng entered the side hall, the people inside were all gone, and there was a cup of tea on the coffee table in front of him.

"All the things are not the same, and the photos are as they come. I wonder what the Taoist saw in this tea? Shi Miyuan didn't open his eyes, and the voice of the wooden fish knocked out unhurriedly, like an old monk entering a meditation.

Zhao Zheng didn't plan to talk about Buddhism with Shi Miyuanqing, he wasn't interested, and he didn't have that ability.

"This tea should be delicious."

Shi Miyuan smiled, opened his eyes, and the difference from Zhao Zheng's imagination was not clear, his eyes were just as muddy as an ordinary old man.

"Look at the mountains are mountains, you kid don't speak, it seems that you still have some wisdom."

Zhao Zheng saw that Shi Miyuan's lips were a little chapped, and thought to himself, don't you like to say some riddles and guess? Now I'll let you guess enough: "Shi Xianggong, you should be thirsty, drink this cup of tea to moisten it." Saying that, Zhao Zheng offered the tea with both hands.

Shi Miyuan stretched out his index finger and shook it, pondering Zhao Zheng's actions, and then someone immediately came in from the back hall to serve Shi Miyuan a cup of tea.

"Young people's tea, old men can't get used to drinking it."

Zhao Zheng didn't think much about it, and put the tea away: "Thank you Shi Xianggong for taking care of me in the past two years, Zhao Zheng specially prepared a gift for Xianggong before entering Beijing." As he spoke, Zhao Zheng took out the reading glasses in his arms.

"This thing is called reading glasses, Xianggong has worked hard for state affairs all his life, and the court has to rely on Xianggong more, so Zhao Zheng made you a pair of reading glasses.

Shi Miyuan was a little surprised, and looked at the reading glasses of high quality: "Could this be the glass refined by Xiao Daochang?" Zhao Zheng's glass workshop has begun to sell some finely made glass, but the output is strictly controlled to prevent the glass from overflowing, so this is a luxury item that is not to be compromised in this era.

"Exactly, Xianggong is old, and his vision is inevitably a little blurry, and this thing can help Xianggong recover from his year."

Shi Miyuan frowned slightly, he was a little disliked that Zhao Zheng said that he was old, but he thought that Zhao Zheng was still young, although he was quite wise, but this person would not be so sophisticated.

"Huh?" After Shi Miyuan put on his reading glasses, he felt that his eyes were bright, and many of the blurred visions he had before were completely gone.

"This is really an immortal method."

Zhao Zheng smiled slightly, and did not argue, now he has no heart to give Shi Miyuan popular science.

"Zhao Zheng came this time, and he has something to ask for!"

"Although I said it" Shi Miyuan was feeling the expression of reading glasses with his eyes, and naturally agreed to Zhao Zheng's request.

"The official family announced my entry three days later. Zhao Zheng thought that he didn't need to enter through the main entrance, so he discussed it with Xianggong. ”

Shi Miyuan was a little strange at this time, thinking that Zhao Zheng had a thin face and didn't want to fall into the root of the conversation, so he said comfort: "This is a private photo of the official family, and besides, the few crops you offered have made great contributions to the world, no one dares to chew the root of the tongue, you can rest assured." ”

"No, Zhao Zheng wants to go up from the sky."
