Someone looked at Shi Baoji.

Song Jiu shook his head, Shi Baoji was a colt, but it was useless. Zhao Kuangyin has a total of three daughters, the eldest daughter is married to Wang Xianqi's son Wang Chengyan, and people are the real nature of playing tickets, both sides voted a little money, not much, and never asked. Shi Baoji is Shi Baozheng's younger brother, but Shi Baozheng's name also changed Zhao Kuangyin to Shi Baoxing. Last year, he married Zhao Kuangyin's second daughter, and then Zhao Kuangyin married his favorite young daughter to Wei Renpu's son Wei Xianxin.

Wei Xianxin walked with Hebei, which is inevitable, Song Jiu began to make friends with most of the descendants of military generals, Wei Renpu was a civil servant, and had a good relationship with Zhao Pu, and Wei Xianxin was disdainful of Song Jiu at the beginning, and later saw that the income was considerable, and he could not join, so he walked with Zhao Chengzong. The two families are good in the world, both are civil officials, and both are from prominent families, which is quite normal.

That is, to fight the horse Duwei, Shi Baoji can't fight Wei Xianxin.

Besides, is the Captain of the Horse really honorable?

Everyone left with mixed feelings.

"Official, it won't be like that, right?"

"If it's not a usurpation, why wouldn't it be like that?" Song Jiu said lightly. Zhao Pu is not very powerful, Sima Guang in the future is really powerful, it seems that at that time, including Su Dongpo and others, were reflecting, preparing to use more gentle means, choose the strengths and abandon the weaknesses, and continue to hold Wang Anshi's changes, but Sima Guang and Gao Taotao, the living treasure, in order to fight political enemies, joined hands to overthrow together, and even returned the important cities on the Shaanxi border that were hard to take down to Western Xia free of charge. Although Zhao Pu has done some bad things for the sake of power, he is far inferior to the pair of baby eggs.

"Official, the slave family is grateful and frightened today." Jade said.

Song Jiu was furious for her. In that moment, all the hard work felt worth it.

"You. I let you learn to let go, but you won't let go. Tsing Yi. In this way, you will take the time to study behind Yuping in the future, and gradually pick up the burden of Hezhou for Yuping. ”

"Okay."

Yuping wanted to speak, but Song Jiu said again: "The relationship between my dynasty and the Liao State is gradually recovering, I will send someone to check some of the conditions on the Khitan seashore, and then let the boat carry you to visit your father, the family will be reunited, and you will come back for a few months." ”

The new Khitan emperor came to power. He was ambitious, but he fought several wars with the Song dynasty without getting a bargain, and his father left a huge mess, so he had to focus on the country. On the Song Dynasty's side, Zhao Pu was afraid that Zhao Kuangyin would change his mind, so he persuaded him to go north and then south again. The Khitan side needed time to govern the country, and the Song Dynasty needed time to unify the south, and the two sides hit it off and were preparing to negotiate peace.

I don't know what kind of agreement can be made after the most difficult road.

But this peace will not be for long.

However, I was able to take advantage of this opportunity. Let Yuping take a look, after all, it's her father, and after seeing it, the wish will be over. If you are no longer at ease, secretly send people to take advantage of the advantages at sea. Send some money over.

Yuping didn't make a sound, looking at the north and thinking.

The plan was drawn out and the planning began. There are all kinds of architectural talents, and after a few days, they will settle down.

No longer an official. He doesn't teach, and he doesn't have an official position. There are also no teaching qualifications. Either way, it is to be able to gather students to do something, and the expenses of the college also come from the share of Hezhou deed. Either you go into that large private testing laboratory and do a test.

was not in such a hurry, the right was relaxed, and Song Jiu said to Yuping: "Let's go to Hezhou for a walk." ”

"Okay."

The two hugged their son and came to Hezhou. Nowadays, Hezhou is picturesque, but the disadvantage is that there are too many tourists, and there are crowds of people everywhere. The area is still too narrow, and planning Henan is inevitable. Looking at the giant pandas, many children screamed happily.

Yuping whispered, "The slave family looks cute at it, so let the steward open the door at night, and let the slave family go in and touch it with his hand." ”

"How does it feel?"

"The hair is soft." Ping herself smiled. Others look at the excitement, and the two of them are just blind, and this change is all from their hands, and they don't feel much surprised.

"My ship is coming back from the South China Sea this year. ”

"When you come back, go back to the dock for maintenance, add a sealed cabin, and then let them go to the big food with the big food merchant."

"Going to the Big Eat?"

"If that's right, some big food merchants I know, it's the honeymoon period, after this village, they may not be able to get this love in the future, and the main reason for going to sea is to be familiar with the waterways. This is not a map, the sea is boundless, I once took a boat to the Fura River in Quang Nam, and it still sailed along the shore, but it gave me a heavy sense of powerlessness. So this route must be familiar. ”

Transferred to the gate of the academy, there are more and more students from other places, and the study time is long, if you study from the first grade, it is called eight years, but in fact, no matter how smart the student, it will take more than ten years. Therefore, there is finally a holiday, and the winter starts from four days before the New Year's Festival, until the Lantern Festival starts five days after the school, that is, from the twentieth day of the lunar month to the twenty-first day of the first lunar month. In the summer, from the first five days of March 9 to the last five days of March 9th, a total of 37 days. However, if you are smart, you can study by yourself at home and take the fourth or fifth grade directly, which will save a lot of time. In fact, it is not fully filled, and as the students are full, it is very difficult to jump in the queue halfway, and at that time the first-year quota is really precious.

Yuping said: "Official, Your Majesty won't let you enter the academy, it's too much. ”

"Ping'er, I want to open it too, it's a good thing. All of you students have grown up and are gradually able to become independent, at least I can let go of middle school and beginners, or I can go to high school, and I don't know how to teach Lu Dao. Now that I'm back, I can do a test to answer their questions or give them guidance. The College has no nominal connection with me, which is not a bad thing. No matter how well I teach, my shadow cannot be erased, and His Majesty cannot choose the students of the academy with confidence. My shadow has been erased, and only His Majesty can use people with confidence. I heard one thing, last year, His Majesty lamented that Confucian scholars and scholars did not appear as good officials, far inferior to the students of the academy. It can only be carried forward if it is recognized by the imperial court. Without the court's recognition, no matter how well I teach, it will always be a small way. ”

Still taught, but became a private discussion.

Song Jiu said: "Learn to let go, when I came back from Bashu and passed by the Qinling Mountains. I once saw an eagle training a kitty and picked it up. Drop it down from the air so that it can fly. will fly higher. ”

"Zhilu said, and the slave family gradually let go." Ping sneered.

The two of them wandered around blindly for a long time, and when they returned home, they saw Chu Zhaofu waiting for him at home. As soon as they met, Chu Zhaofu came to a bear hug, and Da Lu smiled and said, "Xiao Jiu, you're back." ”

"Chu Envoy, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"yes, you're doing well in the South. But it hurts me. ”

"Yes, Envoy Chu, I felt that something was wrong when I was in the Third Division, although I can't ask everything in detail, but if you don't ask anything like that, it will definitely not work."

"Xiao Jiu, ask yourself, how complicated are the accounts of the three divisions. Zhongshu ordered to be lenient to the people, can I not be lenient? Zhongshu ordered me to help the victims, can I not save them? ”

"Envoy Chu. I'm in the third division, can I not know the way, is it really a forgiving people? It is not a forgiveness to the people. Instead, taxes are added to all kinds of prohibitions in disguise and turned into silk. Gold, silver, copper, iron. However, I also agree with this change, after all, the income of farmers is very small. It is not advisable to continue to collect taxes as in the Tang Dynasty. But I also ignored a problem in the third division at that time, the grain tax was reduced in the tax ratio, but the labor cost was increasing, including the transportation cost, and the imperial court wanted the capital to be stable, and it has been supplying the people with low-cost grain. It is a right-leaning policy for businessmen to hoard and raise grain, and the imperial court blindly suppresses grain prices regardless of costs, which is a left-leaning policy. The capital or other important areas are to eat cheap grain, this forced labor is to the peasants, the ships are from the imperial court, the cost is invisible, but it is indeed a cost. As a result, the proportion of grain supplied by the imperial court is increasing, and the grain tax is decreasing. Coupled with the large-scale relief to the victims, it was last year's incident. This is a mistake in the policy, there is a mistake in the middle book, there is a mistake in the three divisions, not to mention leniency for the people. ”

"Xiao Jiu, let's write a recital."

"If you want to write it, it has nothing to do with me, what do I write as a common person."

"Do you really think you're a commoner?"

"Then let me ask you, what kind of official am I?"

"Okay, you are a common man," Chu Zhaofu was about to fall, and said, "Let me ask you, how much grain can Pan Mei transfer from the south?" ”

"Envoy Chu, do you want to listen to the truth or lie?"

"How can you tell the truth, how can you tell the falsehood?"

"The lie is that I don't know what to say, anyway, the grain in the south is very cheap, and the sea ships are very large."

"What about the truth?"

"You'd better only tell the truth to your majesty, and don't mention it to anyone else. There is grain in the south, but the number of people is too small, and last year fortunately, I was so captive that almost all the tiles were brought back, otherwise so many people would have been taken back, and even the grain in Lingnan would be scarce. Of course, if it is tight, hundreds of thousands of stone grain can also be transferred, but first, it is too late, Lingnan is very large, and the most important time for the people to be healthy and short of food is before May, that is, the time period for boiling the spring famine. But there are still hundreds of miles of dry roads from Mizhou to Jishui, and boats are also needed from Jishui. Is it really a lack of food? It's not that there is a lack of grain, it's not a lack of money, it's a lack of transportation, and the local officials don't do too much, so the grain can't be transported to the north. When the rice grain arrives in Jishui, what if the officials don't cooperate with you? It will take time to transport it to the states and counties where there is a shortage of food. Therefore, Quang Nam had to deliver the grain by the end of February, otherwise it would be too late. During this time, how much grain can Quang Nam transfer out, and it will have to be transferred from various prefectures and counties to the port, and then loaded onto the ship. It can only be said that there are fewer hurricanes in the spring, which is conducive to navigation. I really don't know how much food can be transferred, but it won't meet the requirements you want. ”

"Then why are you so confident?"

"Envoy Chu, let me calculate, there are a lot of victims now, and there are no statistics, but the victims of severe and light disasters can barely be maintained in 200,000 households, the people and soldiers in the capital, and the relevant state grain is also prepared in the counties and counties, but how much food do these 200,000 households have to eat a day? If there is a large amount of food, a person must eat two liters of grain a day, and forty days is one stone of grain and rice. In recent years, the country has been stable, and every family has more than two or three children, and there are six or seven people in a household, how many days can a stone of grain be maintained? Today is the eleventh day of the first lunar month, and there are still more than four months to go, how much food do you need? What is fatal is that last year, many people fled the famine, and the autumn sowing was not sown, and this year, the winter wheat output in many areas has also been seriously reduced. In this way, how much food will be missing? Therefore, it is very important for Guangnan grain to come over, but Guangnan cannot be completely counted on, and the imperial court continues to find ways, including digging a west road to transport grain from Jingxi in Shaanxi to the capital and to the north. ”

"That's ......"

As far as I know, the common people know that last year Guangnan was ripe, and there was more and more grain, which became cheaper and cheaper, and after seeing the steady flow of grain from Mizhou, some landlords and grain merchants would open their warehouses and sell grain one after another. The food in their hands is the main thing, and the price of food will slowly fall. Although it is expensive, it can relieve the pressure of the people. The crisis was resolved. If the truth is revealed, grain merchants will continue to hold on to their grain and not sell it, and grain prices will only be high, not low. ”

"Would they rather the grain rot?"

"Envoy Chu, you are wrong again, let's make an analogy, I have 5,000 stone in my hand to store grain, the cost is 200 wen yuan a stone, and now I sell it for 500 wen yuan a stone, taxes plus loss and other expenses, one stone can earn 250 yuan, and 5,000 stone can earn more than 1,200 yuan. But I cover the grain, the price of grain is getting higher and higher, and I sell it for a stone, and I only sell half of it, how much money can I make? Earn the same amount of money, or even more, after all, the smaller the amount of grain, the less the loss and expenditure, and there are still 2,500 stone of grain left in your hands. In fact, I heard that in some areas in the north, a bucket of rice can be sold for 200 yuan. Not to mention a single stone! ”

Song Jiu sighed: "Actually, last year, the two kings' methods were very good, if the state and county officials cooperated, they could pit these grain merchants to death." ”

There is a classic case, Song Jiu remembered by luck, that is, Wang Anshi bought grain, the southeast flooded, the price of grain rose wildly, and the imperial court banned it, but Wang Anshi openly bought grain at a high price in Yuezhou, and as a result, all the grain merchants transported the grain together, Wang Anshi got some hands and feet, and the ships became fewer and fewer, the grain came, there was no shortage of grain, and there was not even a place to store it, and there was no way to transport it back, so the grain merchants had to cover their noses and sell at a reduced price, and the more the price was reduced, the more people did not buy, and as a result, they sold at a loss with tears in their eyes.

Chen Congxin's approach is very similar.

But if the local government does not cooperate, then no matter how good the solution is, it is just empty talk.

Therefore, Song Jiu said: "This is the business operation, remember, it can't be leaked, as long as it is not leaked, there is no need to say anything, the grain is coming from Mizhou, and those people themselves sell grain at a lower price, and the more the price drops, the less panic the people, and the pressure will be transferred to these hoarding businessmen and landlords." The more anxious they are to sell their food, the faster the price of food falls, and the crisis is resolved. (To be continued......)
