Tang Shu asked if this official uniform was too weird, Zhao Ji was a young man after all, and he couldn't help but laugh and was happy. He laughed and laughed with the ministers below.

Wen Yanbo's face turned blue with anger.

Zheng Lang glared at Sima Guang and Wang Anshi fiercely.

The two of them laughed strangely, and it worked better than any advice. Xiang Chuanfan is indeed a good official, but others can say it, but Wen Yanbo can't say it, how much trouble did the lantern shirt make back then, and it is still here? Since then, Wen Yanbo, the hat that flatters the relatives of the harem, does not want to take it off, and if he loses his morality, he will lose his right to speak.

But Zheng Lang didn't want to offend the Xiang family.

There will be no fear, and when it is not critical, offending has no effect. Why?

For example, if the second-in-command of a country wants to reform, a reform will inevitably offend the ownership of the noble group, at this time, we must pay attention to the fact that for the sake of national reform, many powerful people can be offended, but we must not offend the first-in-command, even with the following third-in-command, fourth-in-command, and fifth-in-command, and even take the initiative to protect their interests. The loss is small, but because of this handful of support, the possibility of success of the reform will be greatly increased. On the contrary, not to mention reform, you will have to step down immediately.

Frankly, it will disappoint many people, and it will be too cruel and ruthless, but this is the real truth.

At this time, the first step of the restructuring has offended many people, so the number one must not be offended, the number one is not only Zhao Ji alone, but also the three women and a royal brother in the harem, the combination of these five people is the real number one.

The strange laughter of Sima Guang and Wang Anshi certainly made Wen Yanbo lose his prestige, but it would cause some bad consequences. So Zheng Lang stood up and said: "Your Majesty, what Yang Hui said is also, don't say that among the relatives, ordinary scholars and doctors." Nor can they receive the pacification envoys of the two capitals. Liangjing is the core of the country. Any courtier who also leads the pacification envoy will eventually produce some unpredictable changes. In the opinion of the ministers, it is either known that the state does not bring the two capitals to pacify the envoys, or it is changed to the knowledge that Yunzhou only brings the one route to pacify the envoys. It is also a good name for all relatives. ”

That's a good way to put it.

Zhao Ji's forehead.

When Han Qi arrived in Shaanxi, he was furious when he heard that Yang Ding had been killed.

As the old saying goes, when two countries fight each other, they don't kill them. It was a violent act that was committed when there was no way back. Yang Ding is not an envoy, but because of the talks and discussions on the border, he can be regarded as an envoy. He stepped on the border in front, and the back represented not a security army, but the entire Song Dynasty.

Faced with this bloody fact, Han Qi couldn't make a retreat. But it's not easy to say, now Guo Kui's nature is not easy to belong, is it Zheng Lang's person, or Han Qi's person? is not Han Qi's person, Guo Kui can be regarded as having entered Xifu once. One of the third-level bosses, worthy of Han Qi's wooing.

Therefore, Han Qi first moved from all walks of life. Those who are not ordered by the commander to raise troops will be punished by military law, and there will be no mercy for killing. If you want to fight, you have to get my consent.

Who is stronger than Han Qi.

Zheng Lang didn't interfere, and the one behind interfered.

Then he wrote angrily, since the Westerners had even done the thing of luring Yang Ding to kill, Suizhou had been forced to abandon it.

But then his true colors were exposed, and it was suggested that Wei Mingshan and Zhe Jishi should be based on the anointed land of Suizhou, so that everyone could know the industry and make it survive, and naturally forgive Zuo. However, in order to reduce the controversy, it is not allowed to move grain and grass to Suizhou, nor is it allowed to leave the forbidden army to garrison there, spending the country's money and grain, and it is a mistake to fight for this useless place. Moreover, if you defend this place and contain the Westerners, tens of thousands of mortal soldiers will be stationed to defend it, and it will be protracted for a long time, and you will be tired. It is better to inherit the world and the famous mountain, attack Yidi with Yidi, the court and the country have nothing to work for, in case of loss, it is not a border harm of the country, and the loss of Forgiveness Zuo is incalculable.

When the fold arrived in Xifu, Fu Bi saw that Han Qi's intention was contrary to Zheng Lang's, and showed it to Zheng Lang.

Zheng Lang replied, is the Zhejia army Yidi?

If there was no folding, the northwest gate would have been opened long ago, and the Western Xia soldiers would have merged with the state. is to be a dog for the Song Dynasty to watch the door now, and it is also a rare loyal dog in the Song Dynasty, and it is also to reject and belittle Yidi? If this word spreads, not only the Tibetan tribe will not be convinced, but also the vast barbarian tribe in the south will not be convinced.

But Zheng Lang didn't say deeply.

In history, Lu Gongbi and Wen Yanbo repeatedly urged to abandon Suizhou, but Han Qi protected Suizhou. If there is no loss of Yongle City, if there is no Xihe Wulu Xia Coach Wrong Selection, and Suizhou is obtained, who can underestimate its military significance?

Therefore, the tone softened again, saying that if the troops are not stationed, the heart of the famous mountain will be cold, and the end of the rat will be at both ends. On the contrary, he may be recruited by Li Liangzuo and leave behind the children of the Ji family and the Zhi family. You can garrison the army, but you have to station less, two battalions of forbidden soldiers, two battalions of Tibetan township soldiers, and the Tibetan township soldiers can be self-sufficient, the cost is not large, and they can express the intention of the imperial court to run Suizhou to Wei Mingshan, so as to calm their hearts.

Then let Fan Chunyou carry some grain and money to revive the hunger and cold of his tribe, and reinstate some farmers to teach him farming, so that people's hearts can be returned. But there is also a premise, whether it is Fan Chunyou or the garrison, they are not named after the imperial court. Realized, but not named, reduce controversy.

Give Han Qi half of the face.

If you don't give any face, you don't know what kind of demon moths will be made in Shaanxi. Finally, the note said that the public is now leading the five ways to pacify the appeasement and pacify the envoy, although it is powerful, but with the public's talent, it is enough to bear. It is hoped that the country will be the most important, and if there is a shortage of money, the imperial court will give priority to supply.

The face was given together.

The fold was sent back, and Han Qi had nothing to say.

No matter how tense the country is, it cannot be said that the soldiers of the four battalions are reluctant to allocate it, and there are such good things in the world. Even if something happens, only 2,000 people will die.

In order to cooperate with Han Qi, Zheng Lang sent an envoy to Xixia to ask Li Liangzuo, why did he kill the officials of our court, in order to show punishment, don't think about this year's year. When will the murderer be handed over, and when will we discuss the New Year's gift.

One less year can save at least one-third of the military expenses used in the two wars.

This is the financial and tax policy for this year.

The expenditure in the second year of Zhiping was the highest, almost reaching 240 million, which made Zhao Ji dumbfounded. The expenditure for the three years of peace is still not low, reaching 190 million. This year, there has been a lot of tossing and turning, but it is already the end of the autumn, and the fiscal crisis cannot be completely resolved.

There are also some confiscated deed shares and money silks, that Zheng Lang has a special use, and most of them will be returned in the end, so they will really be punished together? In that case, the controversy and opposition will not be three years, but ten or twenty years.

The announced is still a normal cashier. out of the weakened many. 160 million. It's not easy. Excluding the bank supervisor, it is only 13 million. There is still a deficit of 30 million. It was slightly better than expected, and it was originally planned to lose nearly 40 million. But even 30 million is also a huge black hole. Ten years later, it's 300 million. So how is the country doing?

The newspaper in the front published the various state cashiers in detail, and the people in the world talked about it in the back.

Transparency will bring many benefits, it can find out the key to the problem, and it can vote on the determination of the court to govern. I can do a before-and-after comparison. There is also a good evidence, the country has reached this point, to govern or not to govern?

It's offended you, and it's forced to be helpless, who wants to offend you?

At the end of the year, Zheng Lang announced the list of the first batch of deed shares.

It is still the same as before, similar to the shareholders' meeting system in later generations, but there are some differences. It's called 100 shares, but it's actually 10,000 shares, 1 million shares. One hundred shares refers to large stocks. Fifty percent of the private sector is private, and fifty ultimate representatives are dispatched. After consultation with the court officials, if the court officials want to annex private interests, or do other bad things, the private representative vetoes it, and it has no effect. If a private person wants to embezzle the interests of the state, or makes a wrong decision, there is only one official in the imperial court, but after the veto, it is also not allowed to pass. A kind of equilibrium is formed, and if there is a difference, we can only negotiate and compromise with each other.

It may not be perfect, but it may be the best way to do business right now.

Further down the division, every 100 small shares through the amount of shares, elect a representative, preside over the dividends, or a hundred small representatives elect the final final representative, or decide the proportion of investment, and the relevant craftsmen are dispatched, and other affairs.

However, such a large investment as a bank supervisor is often a small share, and it also requires several small and medium-sized households to pool enough funds to obtain a small share. Of course, they have almost no right to speak, and can only sit and wait for the dividends.

Zheng Lang's list this time is ten large stocks, 1,000 medium shares, 100,000 small shares, and there are no 100,000 households, only 10,000 or thousands of households on the list. Some own one share, some own dozens of shares and hundreds of shares. Why is this so, the reason for the distribution is clearly written at the back, and the contribution of each is different.

In fact, there is a lot of greasy in the middle.

The existence of catty is inevitable, unlike before, who pays how much money is who gets it, and there is nothing if there is no money.

There are also 150,000 small shares, which will be announced during the Dragon Boat Festival next year. The reason is still very simple, cooperate with the Beijing officials below to investigate, take the initiative to hand over the hidden fields for tax evasion, or usually have good deeds. As for how the other half of the share deed will be distributed, it is very vague and reserved for later distribution, without saying the specific time of distribution. This is the ultimate killer and will have a lot of use.

There is another prison announced by the Dragon Boat Festival, which is slightly smaller in scale and will immediately distribute all the deed shares. What kind of prison it is, Zheng Lang didn't say.

But when it comes to the prospects of the steel prison, it is said that only if the country has a smooth transition, it will not be able to generate profits equal to the current safety prison in less than a hundred years. Definitely not now, if the current profit of the Ping An Prison is achieved, at least the Song Dynasty produced 500,000 tons of steel a year, almost six times more than the current one.

It is not difficult to achieve it in the future, and the technology can not be compared with the modernization of later generations, at least to reach the technology of the end of the Ming Dynasty, and under the guidance of investing a lot of money in research and development and more advanced scientific concepts, technology is still showing leaps and bounds. For example, blast furnaces, China has long adopted some forms of iron smelting similar to blast furnaces, but that is immature. This technological innovation introduced a more advanced closed furnace roof in later generations, using a rapids at the bend of Caishui to manufacture a large waterwheel, and manufacturing a hot blast stove to preheat the blast furnace, that is, a regenerative hot blast stove.

This is Zheng Lang's intention to set up steel mills in Huazhou and Hangzhou, although Zhengjiazhuang is good, it is only for research and development, and the final large-scale production cannot be set in Zhengjiazhuang, because the water potential is too gentle compared to other places. Huazhou has the flow of the Yellow River, and Suzhou and Hangzhou have the power of the tide, which is enough to make the waterwheel produce stronger winds.

This is a technological leap forward in the blast furnace, even if iron is smelted, it is also wrought iron obtained by smelting pig iron and ore again with the two-step ironmaking operation method. This wrought iron was repeatedly beaten with a big hammer as before, and the second smelting was a very good wrought iron. If you want to be better, let the blacksmith hammer it a few times, and it is the finest wrought iron. Costs will drop dramatically. And there is an even greater benefit to the unification of steel production under supervision.

The disadvantage is that many small and medium-sized iron workshops may go bankrupt, but they can be compensated by deed shares, and there are still 250,000 small shares to distribute to appease the people. But the advantage is that it can be effectively controlled. The blast furnace is expensive, and it cannot be stopped after the fire is started, otherwise the furnace body will be damaged.

Unified arrangement by the steel supervisor. There will be no blast furnace flooding. Cause unnecessary waste.

Years of research and development. There are still some technical hurdles that have not been overcome, but as the profits come up, large-scale production is also an opportunity to find out the cause on a large scale. In five years, the technology will be really close to maturity.

Shareholders may only value how much profit it can make, but Zheng Lang knows that Zhengjiazhuang's research and development is not only iron and steelmaking, but also mining technology. Refining techniques. Now it is not that there is a shortage of mineral deposits, and there are too many rich ores overseas, but that there is no way to effectively mine the mineral deposits from the ground, and how to smelt them into real metals after mining.

The overcoming of these difficulties and the leap in steel production will bring about what kind of changes will be brought to the country, just look at the rise of the Wa Kingdom in later generations.

As for sales, the use of steel should not be too much, based on the current economy of the Song Dynasty. Don't say 500,000 tons of steel a year, once the cement is successfully developed. Just for the construction of houses, one million tons of steel can be used in a year.

If you want to see this huge change, it is possible that Zheng Lang can see it, and it is possible that Zheng Lang can't see it.

But there is one point, Zheng Lang did not exaggerate, to see how the state regulates and controls in the end, if the regulation is done properly, the steel supervision is even no less than the income of the bank supervision and the safety supervision. Of course, the possibility is extremely small, after all, there are productivity and technological constraints, and the biggest prospect at the moment is the banking supervision.

Zheng Lang's words quickly spread out.

He is not a big talker, on the contrary, he speaks very reservedly and humbly many times.

Although a hundred years is far away, who has no children and grandchildren? It is equivalent to the income of the current Ping An Prison, that is to say, its market value will be no less than that of the current Ping An Jian in a hundred years. Ping An supervised the speculation of banknotes, and once rose to one billion dollars. It's very incomprehensible, with the corruption of the officials, the income of the Ping An Prison declined, Zheng Lang lived in semi-seclusion, and his market value soon fell to 400 million yuan. This change made Zheng Lang cry and laugh, fortunately he didn't launch stocks and futures, otherwise with the current economy of the Song Dynasty and immature economic theories, I don't know what kind of freak was hyped up by the banknote bank. Later, Zheng Lang recovered, and the market value of Ping An Jian rose again, and now it is close to 800 million yuan, and it is still rising, how much it can rise, it depends on whether Zheng Lang can safely end the restructuring this time, and not bring a political crisis, by the way, some redundant officials and redundant officials in Ping An Jian will be cleared out, so that it will be a virtuous circle again, so that the market value will recover again.

In other words, now the imperial court has given away fifty percent of the share deed in vain, which is equivalent to giving up 500 million yuan in a hundred years. No matter how much the inventory is harmed, it is impossible to harm the property of 500 million yuan. Those who heard it rejoiced. However, testing and mass production are two different things, in May of the following year, Zhengjiazhuang was officially put into production, but there were problems of one kind or another, and then corrected one by one, until the end of the second steel mill Huazhou Steel Plant was established, and it was really officially produced.

There were many problems, so much so that in the next few years, Zheng Lang had to take time out to negotiate with craftsmen, research and development students and officials one by one, and after the construction of the third steel mill in Hangzhou was completed, all kinds of defects were made up one by one.

Spring is coming in the blink of an eye.

The interruption of the Song Dynasty was fatal to the Western Xia. Western Xia was forced by economic pressure, so he had to ask the Song Dynasty for help. Guo Kui sent spies to interrogate, and the person who had to kill Yang Ding was Li Chonggui, the envoy of the Six Mansions of Western Xia, and Han Daoxi, the right attendant. So he sent an envoy and said, If you want to restore the year, please hand over these two.

Li Daoxi and Xixia Xingchen were friendly, and Meng offered a plan to the Liang family, found two people who were similar to Li Han, sent an envoy to the border of Yanzhou, and said to Guo Kui, please behead the border and thank you. Guo Kui couldn't, but the messenger reported that he had been killed.

Guo Kui didn't believe it, and sent an envoy to interrogate the two about their appearance, and Liang Yili, the minister of Western Xia, knew that he couldn't hide it, so he dedicated the two to the Song Dynasty. The main reason is that Li Liangzuo is dying at this time, and his life is on the verge of death, and the Liang family does not dare to be too strong with the Song Dynasty at this time.

He also sent an envoy to the Song Dynasty to tell the reason, Yang Ding came to envoy, our Xixia did his best to be benevolent to him, gave Baojian sword, and gave a large amount of gold and silver, hoping that he would say good things for our Xixia, but he returned to the capital, and said to Your Majesty that Xixia can be stabbed, that is, Xixia can be attacked.

Whether the Western Xia can attack or not, Zhao Ji didn't take it to heart, there is no chance, there is a chance to take the Western Xia, but at this time, when the country is embarrassed, Zhao Ji doesn't want to do much, since the Western Xia has softened, so he sent someone to inquire about Yang Ding's case.

Sure enough, in order to bribe Yang Ding, Western Xia gave a large amount of gold and silver. So Zhao Ji released Li Chonggui and others, and gave him a new gift. Zheng Lang didn't approve of it, but at this time, he didn't want to do much, and after hearing Zhao Ji's verdict, he was silent.

And, March is coming, and the first wave of reforms has finally come to an end. (To be continued.) )
