This small pool in Yanfu Palace is breezy, and only a few people can stay here, and the other palace maids are all standing far away.

"A trifle?" Zhao Ji raised his eyebrows.

"It's the little things."

"The Pengcheng Rebellion is not necessarily a trivial matter, even the dignified bachelor, Xu Churen, who was the prime minister, lost his life, how can it be considered a trivial matter?"

When he said this, Yang Jian next to him only felt that it was cold to the bone, and it was clear that it was not yet the real winter, but it made him feel as if he was in a cold day.

He also knew the news of the Pengcheng Rebellion, but almost everyone around Zhao Ji was silent about it, even he was no exception.

Who wants to uncover the truth and be the fool who touched the mold of the official family.

But the official family actually knew, and he directly came out when he was talking to Cai Jing, is this going to have a showdown with Cai Jing?

He glanced at Cai Jing quietly, but found that Cai Jing's old face did not even tremble with a trace of wrinkles.

And the attendants around him didn't even dare to breathe.

Maybe only Zhao Fujin, who didn't know what was going on, could still pout at this time: "What are they talking about, daddy, why don't I understand?" ”

"If it weren't for Xu Churen's loss of life, Lao Chen wouldn't even have to mention it. The government has a lot of opportunities, military affairs in the northwest, financial affairs in the north, and grain affairs in the south...... Everything is related to the foundation of the country, and that is the big thing. The rebellion in Pengcheng, the change of a state capital, and the scabies of ringworm. Zhou Fu, the governor of Liguojian, with 2,000 smelters, plus the sergeants of the surrounding state capitals, was pacified in less than ten days, and the leaders of the thieves, Cao Er and Shi He, had been sent to Beijing by the head. ”

Yang Jian only felt that the cold he had just felt disappeared in an instant.

The solidified air near the small pond began to flow again, and the wind rustled the leaves.

He was also curious in his heart, the chaos that burned down the capital city was pacified in less than ten days, which is not something ordinary people can do, at least, those so-called famous ministers of the Great Song Dynasty are very powerful in spraying people with their mouths, and they spray thieves with their mouths...... The record is really a bit embarrassing to see.

No wonder the Son of Heaven is in a good mood today, it turns out that not only can he build Genyue, but also because the Pengcheng Rebellion quickly dissipated.

"Oh...... Zhou Quan has made meritorious contributions in this matter? Zhao Ji said curiously.

With more than 20 people, Zhou Quan attacked the thief village at night, beheaded dozens of thieves, and burned the thief village. When the thieves learned the news, they were surrounded by Zhou Fu and could only disperse. ”

Cai Jing did not hide Zhou Quan's credit, and between his words, he did not hide his appreciation for Zhou Quan.

"It's a brave man!"

In the news that Zhao Ji got from the Imperial City Division, there were no details of the matter, but he knew that the Pengcheng thieves had been settled. At this moment, after listening to Cai Jing's detailed explanation, he stroked his palms and praised.

"Relying on the official Shengming, this young talent can serve my emperor and Song." Cai Jingdao.

"Be rewarded, be rewarded...... According to the Master's opinion, how should it be rewarded? ”

When Cai Jing heard this, he smiled: "Zhou Quan is sixteen years old, and he is already the seventh grade, if the official family wants to reward, he can give more money, as for the official, the official family rewards his father." ”

only rewards his father, not his son, and it seems that it is a bit too much to take Zhou Quan's merits. Yang Jian didn't understand why Cai Jing was like this, on the one hand, he didn't hide Zhou Quan's achievements, and on the other hand, he didn't give the corresponding reward.

Although he couldn't figure it out, Yang Jian was sure that if Cai Jing did this, Zhou Quan would not suffer.

In the Great Song Dynasty, the warriors were all full of suspicion, Zhou Quan when he was envoy to the Liao State, and now he has made miraculous achievements in quelling the Pengcheng Rebellion, if it is according to the previous practice, after the reward, it should be followed by the impeachment of those civil servants.

Zhao Ji hesitated slightly: "If this is the case, I am afraid that I will hurt the heart of the hero and lose the hope of the hero......"

Although the Great Song Dynasty emphasized literature over martial arts, Zhao Ji was interested in side affairs, and naturally hoped that everyone would have the courage to fight and make meritorious contributions. Cai Jing smiled when he heard this: "Your Majesty, why bother, Taizu gave him more wisdom in the past, and now he can use it." ”

"Give Zhou Quan a mansion in the capital division? That's an idea, but I'm afraid it's not on his mind, right? ”

"Your Majesty, please look at this." Cai Jing pulled out a letter from his sleeve, but the letter was not addressed to him or Zhao Ji, but to Cai Xing.

"Ling Sun ...... Zhou Quan wrote with Ling Sun? ”

"Xiao Sun likes football play, so he has a lot of contact with Zhou Quan, and the two sides agreed to sponsor a team each, and when the New Year comes, a charity match will be launched in Beijing, and they also said that the game is named 'Huang Song Cup', and when the game is played, it also raises funds from the audience, half of which is used for the Beijing Teacher Nursing Home, and half for the people who lost their homes in the Pengcheng Rebellion."

"Huh?" Zhao Ji suddenly became interested when he heard this.

Since Zhou Quan sold him football, he has liked this variant of Keju, and in his palace, there are already more than 20 of them who have been enshrined as officials because of their good football, and they can be made into two complete teams to play.

It is precisely because of this that he forgot about raising funds to help the victims of Pengcheng.

But Cai Jing reminded him: "Official, now that the weather is getting colder, more than 10,000 households in Pengcheng have no shelter from the wind and rain, and the ministers are afraid that they will not be able to wait for the time to raise funds." However, if you wait for the imperial court to allocate funds and delay the time, you will also miss the opportunity for relief, so the minister has a strategy, and the official family still can't see it. ”

"Master, let's hear it."

"Although Pengcheng was in turmoil, but the Liguo Prison was intact, and the officials could exempt the Liguo Supervisor from the iron tax for three years, so that the Liguo Supervisor and the smelters could use this tax for relief, so that the reward came from the top down, and the local government could act conveniently."

"The Taishi is really resourceful, so he relied on the Taishi!" Zhao Ji is really not interested in this matter, he is more interested in the ball game.

Cai Jing continued: "After the ball game is fundraised, the funds raised will be used to make up for the three-year iron tax shortfall, so that it is convenient for all parties and suitable for the upper and lower levels." ”

He played it one by one, and Zhao Ji could only sigh and say, "Yes, yes, does Taishi have anything else?" ”

"The official hasn't finished reading the letter yet." Cai Jing smiled: "Zhou Quan's reward has not yet been decided. ”

Yang Jian next to him was secretly curious, and he didn't know what benefits Zhou Quan had promised Cai Jing, and today Cai Jing was working for Zhou Quan everywhere.

Zhao Ji suddenly realized, and then looked at the letter again.

After a while, he burst out laughing: "Interesting, he wants to go overseas to find the maritime merchant who passed on his method of snow candy...... I heard that there are many wonderful methods for the maritime merchants, many wonderful methods? ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Ji showed a look of sudden realization on his face, and at the same time a thought secretly appeared in his heart.

Even if he is the emperor of the rich world, he always feels that the money is not enough. If Liang Shicheng is not well-behaved, he will secretly dedicate a considerable part of the income to the inner treasury, I am afraid that he will alienate Liang Shicheng and let Tong Guan, Yang Jian and others swallow it alive!

If there is still a source of wealth that can be compared to snow sugar......

"What he said, he wants to build a shipyard in Haizhou, build sea ships, recruit bold people, go overseas, and seek the benefits of overseas products. Zhao Ji asked Cai Jing.

Cai Jing laughed.

After all, this official family became interested as Zhou Quan expected.

To be able to make Cai Jing, an old traitor, contribute, of course Zhou Quan threw out a big incense bait, and this big incense bait is the benefit of overseas.

Cai Jing is probably the most proficient in economics in this era, otherwise he would not be able to hold up a redundant Song Dynasty for so long, and at the same time build welfare institutions such as Fuze Garden all over the world.

Therefore, as long as Zhou Quan mentions it a little, Cai Jing will know how big the benefits of overseas can be!

In Guangzhou, there are a large number of sea ships in and out every year, and the imperial court even set up a city shipping department, which is just today, and it is expanding the city shipping division from Guangzhou to Hangzhou, Ming, Wen, Mi, Xiu and other prefectures. The maritime merchants inside and outside the Great Song Dynasty, if there were no huge profits, who would be willing to risk the storm and go to a foreign land thousands of miles away, and it would take even years to make a round trip!

In the newly established city of Xiongzhou, the incense medicine from overseas, the Great Song Dynasty can earn double or even several times the profit just by changing hands, only the last trade, the royal accumulation of spices for many years and even began to mold to resell to the Liao people, it will get nearly 300,000 guan, if it can be like this every year, not only sold to the Liao people, but also Goryeo, Wa and so on, just this thing, the Great Song Dynasty into another 780,000 guan a year, is it not easy?

"The old minister is ignorant, dare to ask if the court has ever spent money on this matter?"

"It's just that the craftsmen who built the Shenzhou were transferred from Mingzhou to Haizhou, this matter is easy to hear, a matter of official documents." Zhao Ji said.

"If this matter is not successful, will the prestige of the imperial court be damaged, and the treasury will be damaged?"

The letter stated that the imperial court only needs to give the right to act cheaply, and does not intervene directly, in this case, how can the prestige of the imperial court be damaged, and the treasury ...... At most, it is just to pay for the salaries of a few more officials. ”

"If this can be done, the prestige of the imperial court will increase, and the treasury will be profitable?"

"Raise the prestige of the country overseas, gather the wealth of foreign countries in the Great Song Dynasty...... I understand what the Master means! ”

Cai Jing did not directly express his attitude, just a few questions, but let Zhao Ji see the possible development trend of this matter.

No matter how it develops, for the Great Song Dynasty, there is no loss, so to speak, there are only benefits, no disadvantages.

As for the fear that Zhou Quan would carry out overseas trade and leak the inside information of the Great Song Dynasty to foreign countries with ulterior motives, Zhao Ji and Cai Jingjing had no scruples about this.

Now there are so many people who run the sea trade, and there are even big cannibals who have settled in the Great Song Dynasty, if there is really any news leaked, where will it be Zhou Quan's turn to do it!

"However, if this is to happen, now that Haizhou is the governor, it will be adjusted, and the first person in the Pengcheng change is the Haizhou thief." Cai Jing said slowly.

"In addition to Haizhou, there is also Xuzhou, I can't let Zhou Fu know Xuzhou, I'm afraid I can only upgrade him to the rank and title." Zhao Ji nodded in approval.

Speaking of this, Cai Jing did not continue the question, but turned back to Gen Yue's setting. Although Zhao Ji discussed with him with great interest, Zhao Fujin next to him listened drowsily.

"Or is it interesting to mention Zhou Xiaolang, at the time of the New Year, there is going to be a ball game? I really look forward to the early arrival of the New Year, when I can meet him and ask him to give me new toys. Zhao Fujin thought secretly in his heart.
