The two prime ministers and Sima Guang left the Vertical Arch Palace, and Zhao Ji let out a long sigh of relief, and he waved his hand to the eunuchs and palace maids serving in the hall, signaling the people on both sides to retreat. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "Alas, I really don't know what's so good about being the emperor! I really miss the days when I went to Guangnan and Dali with Brother Wang! He said as if to himself. The king looked at Zhao Ji from the side, Yingzong's death and the days and nights of political affairs made the new emperor look a little haggard.

"Hey, don't worry, these are small things." The king said in a slightly comforting tone.

Zhao Ji smiled bitterly: "It's just these little things, and the officials who are making endless troubles are upset." Do you think these old ministers are all the faults that the emperors used to have? Now such a mess, the empty treasury is an internal worry; Li Liangzuo of Western Xia is ready to move again, this is an external trouble. If you look at the court again, there is still a lot of quarrel there, and even the matter of picking up ashes has been moved to the main hall, I don't know if there are foreign countries in trouble around now, how will it be good for the official family? ”

"Then if Xixia really sends troops, does the saint want to fight him?"

"Absolutely! But......" Zhao Ji said, but, suddenly stopped, his eyes stared at Wang, and then showed a long-lost smile: "Brother Wang, I heard Master Cai say that the bank is operating normally, and the Taibao Bank is full of funds. Do you remember what the two of us said when the imperial court opened a bank loan for you as a guarantee? ”

Wang Bei smiled: "Of course I remember, didn't the Holy One say that when you ascend the throne, you will also open one!" ”

"How late is that! And, think again? ……”

"Well, come to think of it, the saint said that he seemed to be mortgaging something to me." Wang said lightly and deliberately avoiding the serious.

Zhao Ji glanced at Wang Bian very speechlessly, if the two of them were half-joking, that scene seemed to have happened not long in front of him. Now that all this has really happened, Zhao Ji recalled the scene at that time, and said slowly: "Brother Wang went to me after dinner with his father, I asked you and my father what they said, Brother Wang told me about opening a bank, I jokingly said: If Brother Wang wants to turn around one day and ask Brother Wang to borrow two pieces of silver, what should I do?" ”

The king also remembered this scene very clearly, and he followed Zhao Ji's words, imitating the tone of the imitator at the time: "Then the court also has to give me a mortgage before I can borrow it." ”

Zhao Ji saw that Wang still remembered what he said at the time, and he was happy in his heart, and now for him, the most worrying thing is money. He then pretended to frown and thought about it: "What are you going to do?" ”

At that time, the next conversation was like this: "Do you dare to resist your Great Song Dynasty?" ~" Wang asked in a low voice, Zhao Ji smiled when he heard it: "Cut~ Can you open a bank?" When the official family ascends the throne, the court will open it by itself, and then you don't blame me for robbing your business. ”

And now that Zhao Ji has really ascended the throne, the prince next to him is no longer the prince joking with him, but the dignified emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji is looking at him, looking at him with good eyes. Wang smiled next to him: "Do you dare to resist your Great Song Jiangshan?" ”

The two looked at each other as if they were competing, and seemed to be looking for resonance in each other's eyes, and finally they both laughed at the same time. Wang saw concessions from Zhao Ji's gaze, and Zhao Ji smiled and said: "Brother Wang is still so true temperament, if I don't manage this country well, I might as well give you a mess." ”

"Holy Lord, I have another way to solve the Holy Lord's worries."

Zhao Ji's eyes lit up: "Say it quickly!" ”

"Xixia Li Liangzuo will definitely make a move, but I think it's a good thing! Now that the Holy Lord wants to purge the government, whether it is to punish corruption or reform the government, there must be a transition time. Moreover, although it is a good thing to fight corruption, it is inevitable that people will panic and people will complain. Since you want to fight the Western Xia, I am fully supportive, not to mention the hateful Western Xia people who kidnapped my son. We can just turn the attention of the officials and the common people to the war against Western Xia. As for the bank, Shengshang can issue treasury bonds for national construction, and the Taibao Bank is responsible for the sale of treasury bonds. Of course, what you said is also right, if you can't afford to pay me back, it's useless for you to give me all the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"National debt? What does this mean? Zhao Ji listened carefully and asked questions from time to time.

"Country, state. Of course, it means that I am the state of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, the emperor of the imperial court. Of course, the bonds issued by the imperial court are national bonds, just like when I was building bonds in Yongzhou. ”

"This is good, this is good! In this way, the official family will be like you, and when the treasury is full, he will pay more interest. It's not like you Zhennan Wang, who wants my country at every turn. ”

Wang Bei laughed in his heart: "This can't wait, the emperor has to set a one, three, or more years, and it must be paid back when the time comes." ”

Zhao Ji frowned: "The official family still doesn't understand, it's not a problem for your Taibao Bank to sell it, but Brother Wang, you won't be so kind to help the official family raise money without seeing profits, right?" ”

"Hahaha, of course not, how much you pay, how much I want to take, but I set the number. Let's put it this way, suppose the emperor pays 3% interest on your one-year fixed treasury bonds. Then I will underwrite as much interest as you will give me, and I will pay two for the treasury bonds I sell. You don't care how much I make. ”

"Hmph, I knew you weren't that kind!"

Wang looked at Zhao Ji who seemed to know himself very well, and wanted to make him feel that he was only for money: "A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, besides, how many treasury bonds do you issue, but my bank wants to underwrite them all?" That is to say, even if the Prince Bank is not sold, I will give as much silver as the emperor uses, and I don't need you to pay anything, am I still not happy? ”

"Then, then I want a lot, you can send it for me!" Zhao Ji clapped his hands and said.

"This won't work! Count as much as you want. What is it used for and when is it returned. Besides, it's about the credibility of the royal family, you have to think about it! ”

Now Zhao Ji was in trouble: "You said a bunch of ideas, but this doesn't work, that doesn't work, forget it, you can take the idea." You say be specific, what should the official family do! ”

Wang Fang smiled confidently: "That's right, you first tell me what you want to do with the money?" ”

"What else can I do, of course, to fight Xixia according to what you said?"

"Okay, I'll make a budget, and the Holy Lord will summon Master Cai to approve and issue as many bonds as I need. This problem should be solved, right?"

Zhao Ji blinked, lowered his head and smiled: "Brother Wang, I'm afraid that you have already done the budget you said!" ”

"Holy Wisdom!"

"Okay, the official family depends on you, but the official family has a condition, what kind of national debt is not good at all, how can I be compared with foreign countries, just call it Song debt!"

Borrow money, borrow money, and compare the name more seriously, Wang looked at this Zhao Ji and thought it was interesting: "Weichen obeys the order, Weichen still has something to start the emperor, and my Taibao Bank has Cai Bachelor on behalf of the imperial court to supervise." If the Holy Lord raised money for the conquest or defense of Western Xia, shouldn't the bank also supervise the money? ”

"Brother Wang, you and I have been friends for many years, and I see that you are getting more and more detours with me." Zhao Ji was slightly dissatisfied, and then said: "I know that Brother Wang is bent on wanting to know the whereabouts of Ling Lang, for the movements of Western Xia, the imperial history of Yanzhou and other places has begun to prepare, and the general has reported that he has made a defense, but I am also worried about the problem that Brother Wang said at the beginning, and now there are many old and disabled soldiers on the border, so I want to draw elite soldiers from all over the country." And Brother Wang will be appointed as the overseer, so Brother Wang is satisfied. ”

Wang nodded next to him: "The Holy Lord is still quite thoughtful, I'm still worried that you won't be able to deal with it!" ”

Zhao Ji smiled: "With my brother here, you have considered everything; But after all, I am also the father of three children, although the eldest son, Zhao Tong, died early; second son - Zhao Wei, died early; The third son, Zhao Jun, died early, and there were no three in a row, but he was also a father, and I felt the same way for Brother Wang. What's more, if you are willing to go to Yongzhou, I can't always think of asking Brother Wang for a solution. Since there can be a solution to the silver two problem, then I will issue an order, and Brother Wang, you should also prepare for the army. ”

Wang looked at Zhao Ji in front of him, and couldn't help but be moved when he heard these words, in the blink of an eye, ten years ago, Zhao Ji has become an adult, so he naturally has his responsibility. Or just as Zhao Ji said, he is like a child only in front of the king, and he already has his own plans in his heart. How difficult it is to have a mess on his shoulders, mentally he is dependent on the king, financially he is dependent on the king, and from the expectation of the future of the Great Song Dynasty, he is still dependent on the king. For Zhao Ji, the reforms that Wang said were like a painting worth looking forward to, strengthening the Song Dynasty and assimilating foreign countries. The status quo is that for Zhao Ji, the reform may fail, but if he does not change, he is waiting for failure. But these words, in addition to saying these words to the king, who else can Zhao Ji say to him?

Zhao Ji summoned Wen Yanbo and Cai Xiang and said, "There are many evils in the world, and they must be reformed." He added, "Managing money is the most urgent thing to do today." Raising troops and preparing for the border, the treasury must be abundant, and the ministers should pay attention to saving money. "Follow Cai Xiang to calculate and summarize the current situation of the treasury and the imperial court branch as soon as possible, and at the same time order Cai Xiang to approve the military expenses required to send troops to Western Xia.

Wang Bi returned to the palace and stepped up the handling of Yongzhou's letter, and saw that Yongzhou's progress was orderly. Within a day or two, the family came to report that someone in Yichuan had sent a letter, and his father Wang Anshi received a call from Shenzong Zhao Ji and was named a bachelor of Hanlin and entered Beijing on the same day. This news made Wang Fang very happy, Wang Anshi returned to the capital this time, Song Shenzong summoned Wang Anshi to discuss political affairs, Wang Anshi Chen Fuguo's strong military skills, put forward the idea of changing the law and financial management, and this proposition is the same as Song Shenzong's wish.

However, before Wang Anshi returned to the capital, a war report was sent from the front, and Western Xia would send a large army to suppress the border, and at this time, Cai Xiang and Shenzong had a result in discussing military expenses, and Wang Bi immediately raised funds and prepared to help Shenzong send troops to Western Xia. The imperial court summoned Yue Li as the commander-in-chief of the troops and set off with the king.

This time he went to Western Xia again, and the king was full of questions and anger, if he wanted to meet Li Liangzuo for a while, would he be able to find his long-lost son? And Wang Anshi, who has just returned to the dynasty, can he go all the way on the paved road next to the king?
