At the beginning of July of the third year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, August 139 BC. ￡∝.

There is still a month before the settlement of taxes, and the Zhuangzi under the Hou Mansion is particularly busy.

The main father went out early in the morning, and he was responsible for supervising the watering and fertilization of the farms, and the soybeans planted in the field last month had to be supplemented with fertilizer, otherwise the rye planted in the next late autumn would be no more fertile.

"Hey, crop rotation is like a war all day long, busy harvesting, busy planting, busy fertilizing, busy weeding, busy killing insects, busy watering, and I can't be idle for months."

Zheng Tong straightened his waist and picked up a towel to wipe his sweat: "Okay, what's wrong with being busy, isn't it just to spend more time making fertilizer, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, one acre of land has four stones of rye and two stones of soybeans, which is seven or eight percent higher than the harvest a few years ago, what else do you have to complain about." ”

"I'm tired, it's not that I haven't married my own child yet, in case my body is exhausted, what woman will be willing to live with me in the future."

"Phew! How much money did you kid smash into the place of the hook fence, and I told you a few family affairs, who in ten miles and eight towns didn't know that you Xu Leper was an unreliable person, looking at your top-heavy and lazy appearance, he was tired of work, and he was tossed and collapsed on a woman. ”

Xu Ji was instigated, every time he mentioned marriage, he had to be scolded for being bloody, he couldn't save a few dollars, and the hard-earned money earned in a year was thrown into Chang'an City, Xu Ji was relatively good, at least he worked very actively, Lu Li questioned whether he could save money, and did not question whether he was diligent or not, there are several prodigals similar to Xu Ji in each township, and folk customs cannot tolerate them saving zài, and more lazy people are directly put into another book and become cheap.

Flower Street Willow Lane is a thing that existed in the Spring and Autumn Period, and then there was this kind of food and ** trade in ancient times, and the folk customs in ancient times were open. But he doesn't look down on women who exchange skin and meat for food and drink, and he doesn't despise the immorality of seducing men. Rather, they despise their speculative mentality of getting something for nothing, just as the discrimination against merchants in ancient times is the same.

Zheng Tong doesn't like Xu Ji to spend money indiscriminately. Nanzhuang up and down on him a man who spends money indiscriminately, other men after the age of 20 began to negotiate marriage, twenty-five years old almost have a wife, the family has no money to marry a daughter-in-law outside the 30 years, Xu Ji is more than 30 men, money is never lacking, just did not find a daughter-in-law.

Throwing money to the women in the willow alleys of Huajie who did not work for anything was not only unaccustomed to the men in Zhuangzi, but also the women in Luzi were not happy. There are some frivolous women in other Zhuangzi who want to hook up with Xu Ji, but they are driven away by the women in Zhuangzi, every time they meet Xu Ji, they have to scold him for not knowing how to save money, and the good girls in Zhuangzi would rather marry other Zhuangzi than look for him, and the good women in appearance can't come, and the women who are not indiscriminate are hanging around the village all day long, and the folk customs are about to be corrupted by him.

"You can't always blame me, there are not many men and women who fornicate, and I used to fornicate with guò women."

"Less nonsense. Fornication is your willingness, not money in exchange, you kid will give me nonsense, be careful of being beaten. ”

Xu Ji covered his head and admitted: "I can't change it." Save money this year and marry next year. ”

The master father returned to the Hou Mansion in a circle, and the family supervisors were deliberating.

"This year's harvest is a bit better than last year's. I heard that Guanzhong can be self-sufficient in grain, starting from this year. There is no need to transport a grain of grain from the Kanto region, and there are millions of stone of surplus grain every year. ”

The family supervisors looked at each other: "There are so many?" ”

"Not much. A small half of the 75 counties in Guanzhong are adjacent to the high mountains and hills, which greatly drags down the increase in the yield per mu of cultivated land in Guanzhong, and the yield per mu in Guanzhong has increased by one and a half, and the annual surplus grain is enough to plug the gap of millions of stone grains, and the secondary rotation is only implemented in the plain areas, and the extra millions of stone surplus grain are provided by summer soybeans. ”

"So many soybeans should be squeezed for oil."

"The soybean oil market is approaching saturation, a bucket of soybean oil 15o money is the stop-loss line, more soybean oil can only be sold at a price lower than a bucket of 15o money, it is not as cost-effective as a stone of soybeans to sell to the workshop for 15o money to make other soybean products."

"The villagers are also shrewd."

The family supervisors smiled, the soybean oil market has not yet opened, ordinary families can not afford to eat expensive soybean oil, the narrow market is easily filled with soybean oil, most of the villagers give up oil extraction and turn to small hands of soybean products, for example, Huainan Hou Liu An's "Honglie" mentioned the processing technology of tofu, Liu An came to Chang'an before the tofu was quietly popularized, he came to Chang'an and began to promote tofu, and the rise of tofu workshops in Beijing.

Tofu sells cheap and nutritious, the practice is simple and there are not too many technical threshold requirements, almost every liehou has a tofu workshop at home, there is also a tofu workshop in Pingyang Hou's house, the villagers take their own soybeans to the tofu workshop to eat tofu, in addition to the cost of making tofu, only a part of the soybean is charged as a manual fee, and more than a dozen Zhuangzi under the jurisdiction of the Hou Mansion like to take soybeans and tofu to eat.

Houfu tofu workshop also processes a kind of soybean milk drink, erects an iron bucket filled with beans and water, crushes soybeans with or heats and then uses water-driven paddles to get milky white soybean milk, and the filtered bean dregs can be used as fertilizer or feed, the effect is similar to soybean meal, soybean processing is still a lot, take tofu as an example, it can be deeply processed into dried tofu, tofu rolls and other soy products.

Soy products enrich the recipes on the table, there are more delicious foods than before, and the villagers are enthusiastic about planting and have a high motivation to farm. ”

The master father smiled and arched his hand: "Congratulations to the prince for choosing the "Theory of Money" as the main course of the Academy of Letters by Taixue, and I heard the news that the scholars in Chang'an City are studying the "Theory of Money" hard, including many Confucian students. ”

"Oh? That's a good thing. ”

Master Father Yan said: "Last year, Confucianism presided over a debate, the theme is whether the role of the market you proposed is to save zài, the pure Confucianism of the two kingdoms of Qilu quoted scriptures to denounce the market zài said, but this year's soybean products market has been rising, the number of soybean farmers in 75 counties in Guanzhong has skyrocketed, and the original implementation of the difficult soybean and wheat rotation has suddenly expanded along the way, and the enthusiasm of farmers in Guanzhong farming has increased greatly, and the face of pure Confucianism has been slapped hard, and now no one dares to question that the "Monetary Theory" is pseudo-science. ”

The core of Huang Laoxinxue lies in the "Theory of Money", which is based on money to explain the influence of money and market on all aspects of the country. From the formulation of major military policies to the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the people. There is a shadow of money and the market in all aspects of the whole society, and money is the carrier of market transactions. When we talk about money, we are talking about the market.

The content is too novel, quite a bit of a madman in the previous step, the director of the book to the present three years to the present, the voice of doubt has been continuous, all parties to the "Theory of Money" to add a sentence of "doubt", more radicals simply use pseudo-science to denounce it, just because Cao Shi has long controlled the Shaofu and won an economic war with money, which directly proves that the role of money is unquestionable, and the direct guide zhì was very market-oriented in the past year, and the questioning arguments that were very marketable in the direct guide have all withered.

In the past two years, Cao Shi left the central training to reorganize the army and preside over the southern expedition. The doubts in the academic circles have gradually risen, and the clever scholars have bypassed the immovable currency and focused on the subtitle market in the "Theory of Money", in an attempt to prove that the market does not exist, so as to crack down on the foundation of the "Theory of Money", as long as the market is not there, the currency is only the credit currency of the imperial court, and it is only a unilateral act between the imperial court and the people.

However, they failed. The prince wins. ”

Cao Shi asked, "Majoring in "Theory of Money", is this what His Majesty means?" ”

"I guess so."

Cao Shi held the hardcover "Theory of Money", and turned the first page to the preface made by Liu Che, the son of heaven, and vigorously praised the insight of "Theory of Money". Called a rare masterpiece since "Pipe", this book will be the major course of Taixue, and it should be a great joy to be happy. Cao Shi was in no mood to laugh.

He knows the temperament of the Son of Heaven very well, and Taixue was built by the Son of Heaven into a talent pool for his own service. Liu Che will use all kinds of forces to influence the direction of Taixue's development as much as possible, which means that his further interference in Taixue will come to naught. No one can fight for the hand of the Son of Heaven, today you can use "Monetary Theory" as your main course, and you can kick him off every day and take "Spring and Autumn" as your main course.

Cao Shi felt faintly uneasy, quietly waiting for the arrangement of the imperial court.

Nanyue King Zhao Yu, Minyue King Qi Ying was captured, the crown prince Zhao Yingqi, Su Chou was captured in Chang'an to offer prisoners to the Taimiao, the Son of Heaven once again showed his face in front of the Taimiao, the civil and military officials called the Son of Heaven is the Wencheng Wude Daoming Jun, the emperor's vanity was unprecedentedly satisfied, and the two big victories that went to the emperor in just three years after ascending the throne swept the three countries in the south, forcing a country to migrate and attach, and no one could erase the credit of the iron fight.

The victory in the war brought great prestige to the Son of Heaven, and the opposition in the court became smaller and smaller, and the advantage was that the emperor could easily control the court, and the disadvantages were soon revealed.

The young prince Zhuang Zhu came to Pingyang Hou Fu to read the will.

"The general of the chariot cavalry, Cao Shipo, has a meritorious service in Nanyue, benefits 3,000 households, gives 2,000 catties of gold, and the wife of the Marquis of Pingyang gives 3oo households of food, and the general of the chariot cavalry rises up to receive the decree!"

"What?"

Cao Shi was about to receive the order with both hands stopped, sealed 3,000 households, and gave 2,000 catties of gold, only half of the reward of the Night Lang Kingdom, and he was suddenly blindfolded.

"General Che Cavalry...... General Che Rider, what's wrong with you? ”

"......What is this reward?"

Zhuang Zhu smiled embarrassedly: "In fact, there have been several court discussions in the court, Prime Minister Dou Ying advocated rewarding the general of the car cavalry, benefiting ten thousand households, and giving eight thousand catties of gold is necessary, but Taiwei Tian Wei resolutely opposed, and the big farmer Ling Wang Xin and Tingwei Tian Sheng expressed their resolute opposition, Tian Wei said that although the merits of the general of the chariot cavalry were rewarded too much, the princes had the merit of founding the country, and there were only a few people who were rewarded by 8ooo households. His majesty hesitated and lowered your reward. ”

Cao Shi knelt and sat for a long time without moving for half a minute, he suddenly felt cold, he would never believe that the Son of Heaven could not distinguish the lack of materials in the early Han Dynasty, and the difference between the rich and rich princes who did not rely on food to eat, Yifeng is more of a symbol of honor, the princes who have benefited from the seal are incomparably glorious, the princes without the benefits of the seal prove that they are useless, and the number of benefits is the emperor's recognition of you.

Since the second year of the Later Yuan Dynasty to the third year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, Cao Shi has received a total of two Yifeng, the first time Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty has benefited from 3,000 households, and the second time when today's Ziyi has sealed 5,000 households.

Cao Shi sat silently for a long time before slowly raising his head: "Your Majesty only records my efforts to destroy Nanyue, is the Minyue Kingdom counted alone?" ”

"Yes, the Minyue Kingdom is counted on Zhuang Qingzhai, the Marquis of Wuqiang, and His Majesty has another will to give it to Wei Wei, I can reveal the number to the general of the Che Cai, Zhuang Qingzhai will be given two thousand households and one thousand catties of gold."

Zhuang Zhu is very sympathetic to Cao Shi, so many great heroes who have contributed to the Han family only give so many rewards, in exchange for anyone who has great merit and have to take it apart to compare, this hero is too tired of being crooked, but the responsibility is in his body, he can only help within the scope of his duties, and he dare not continue to say more.

Cao Shi stood up expressionlessly, took the holy decree without saying a word, and watched the imperial envoy leave.

Princess Yang Nobunaga, the eldest princess, Liu Wan, walked out, took the emperor's will and swept it at a glance, and said with a slight frown: "The gentleman should not accept the decree, and the reward should not be so small, and the concubine immediately set off to the Changqiu Palace to ask for an explanation for the gentleman." ”

"Don't go, haven't you seen your majesty's thoughts? He's worried about my high achievement! Cao Chang sighed: "The husband finally understands Zhao Tuo's words, there is an end to the military generals after all, Xiao He is still greedy for money and self-defilement, Han Xin still has to be a man with his tail between his legs, His Majesty is telling me, it should be time for Taoguang to raise a hand." ”

"Gentleman, can the concubine help you?"

"Don't need to meddle in the fine gentlemen, Zhou Yafu has learned from the past, I have a very full understanding of the Son of Heaven, and I have already had a plan in my heart for the expression of the Son of Heaven."

Liu Wan is in a complicated mood, on one side is her younger brother of her mother's compatriots, and on the other side is Ruyi Langjun who shares the same bed and sleeps together, she is very painful and embarrassed in the middle, she is not only a royal princess, but also the daughter-in-law of the Cao family.

Wei Jun's body was raised, and he walked out with high spirits: "The gentleman has good news, the third sister-in-law was taken into the Weiyang Palace, and the son-in-law wrote a letter saying that he would be crowned a beauty when he entered the palace, and His Majesty promised to make her his wife as long as he gave birth to a child...... Well? The gentleman and his sister have a bad face, what's wrong? ”

Liu Wan handed her the holy decree, and Wei Junru's face turned dark: "The concubine remembers that last time Daylang Guoyi sealed five thousand households, why is there still so little reward for destroying the two countries this time?" The Son of Heaven treats the gentleman slowly. ”

The three of them had a bad face, and the women could see that the emperor's mind was not right, proving that more than ninety percent of the residents of Jingshi could understand that the Son of Heaven made a mess of the good rewards, and it looked like they wanted to emulate the previous emperor's meritorious service and suppress the military meritorious faction.

In the deliberations in the palace, the family supervisors were indignant after seeing the holy decree marquis, and the gossip was about which traitorous minister was offering slander, and most people did not believe that it was the true attitude of the Son of Heaven, after all, the intimate relationship between the Marquis of Pingyang and the Son of Heaven was known to the world.

The lord father held the holy decree and read it repeatedly for a long time before saying: "Although I disdain Confucianism, but Confucianism has some words that are reasonable, as far as Mencius is concerned, he once told the king of Qi that the king regards the minister as a sibling, then the minister regards the king as the heart, the king regards the minister as a dog and a horse, the minister regards the king as a countryman, the king regards the minister as a mustard, the minister regards the king as a hate, and the reward is not a bad thing for the prince." ”

"Oh, what do you say?"

"A prince can win widespread sympathy, and when done properly, a prince can turn a bad thing into a good thing!"

Cao Shi had a flash of inspiration in his mind: "Yes! Since the Son of Heaven has rewarded me so little, the reward of the 100,000 Southern Army must be reduced, and I will spread the news to see how public opinion reflects, I want to see who will be weak and who is behind the Son of Heaven!
