Chapter 146: Peach Blossom

"The Western Jin Dynasty can still fairly evaluate Zhuge Liang, why can't I go to the court, anyway, people are dead, this has a lot of wonderful uses, forget it, Your Majesty, when Weichen didn't say it, otherwise it would be Weichen's mistake to rebel in the future."

"What rebellion?"

The resentment of the people of Bashu was too heavy, and the officials in various places could only join forces with Haoqiang to protect themselves, so Haoqiang took the opportunity to tamper with the land deed, encroach on property, and rob the people as a trilogy. Without this grievance, relying on these behaviors of Haoqiang, if there is a slight disaster or improper handling of policies, it will cause a big mess. I told Lu Xianggong about this, and Lu Xianggong said that the people are either rebellious or flowing, and without the help of Haoqiang, how can they be safe with Bashu. Even if we punish Haoqiang, our dynasty will lose the entire Bashu. I don't know what to do......"

"It's very difficult to govern the country, and it's definitely not appropriate for you to confer an official, but writing a fair sacrifice is also a way, and I will think about it. Go on. ”

"It's a difficult problem, I can't think of it, and there will definitely be a way to solve it. But it has to be addressed. The Northern Route Army was quickly transferred back after the war, and secondly, Bashu was not without good officials and good generals, Lu Xianggong and Shen Zhuan envoys were good officials, and they were the henchmen and ministers under His Majesty, which was enough to let them guard one side. Your Majesty, please trust Lu Xianggong, it is not easy for him to hold Yizhou in the cracks. If it weren't for Lu Xianggong, Yizhou would be in turmoil, and the situation in Bashu would be even more dangerous. Leave General Cao and General Kang behind, the two of them can fight and appease, and their grievances in Bashu are not deep. There are these four people, both civil and military. Then some good officials were sent to serve as the governors of various states, and some money was allocated from the Yizhou treasury to relieve the displaced people, so that Bashu could temporarily stabilize. ”

History says that the Song Dynasty got the Bashu transport property for more than ten years.

Song Jiu couldn't figure it out, how much money did it take more than ten years to transport away?

There are some things that he still knows. The Song Dynasty got Hunan and gained almost nothing. It's even upside down, but it gets Jingnan. The Gangneung area is relatively wealthy, with a slight harvest, but it is not very large. Bashu harvested very much, and when Song Jiu was in Yizhou, he was still sending money to the capital by boat.

But not only money and silk, but also tea, utensils, books, and the palace of Shu cannot be left. It had to be demolished, some valuable wood, and so on. If it is calculated in this way, I am afraid that it will take more than ten years to be transported.

However, as long as the states and counties have not been breached, there are still some money that has not been shipped out.

Zhao Kuangyin put them in the sealing pile library (inner storage library) behind the martial arts hall, and didn't Zhao Kuangyi spoil it in the future?

Originally, the country was short of money everywhere, which led to barter in most areas, and tens of millions of gold, silver, copper and silk were placed in the treasury. Isn't money even tighter?

"Kang Yanze is also greedy!" Zhao Kuangyin said suddenly.

"It's okay......" Song Jiu said in surprise. In such a short period of time, it was impossible for him to see all the regions of Bashu, but he came and went, passing through more than 20 states. Most states and counties are eroded. The military generals robbed it, and the civil officials also took it. Snatched up and went crazy together.

But there are also some states and counties that are doing better. For example, Feng Zan in Zizhou not only repelled the rebels. He is just and honest and loved by the people. He didn't have many troops at his disposal. Tongshan in the south of Zizhou is also one of the base camps of the whole division, but the whole division does not dare to attack Zizhou. Therefore, the five armies will be allied. Song Jiu also invited him over.

Kang Yanze is even more remarkable, what Song Jiu said is that blocking is better than sparse, prevention is better than cure, these inspirations all come from Kang Yanze. He used the Shu people to govern the Shu people, and used the rebels to defeat the rebels, creating a new model. And the people also love it, including those who are digging for gold.

Could it be that his model is the opposite of Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhao Kuangyin is unhappy?

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't allow him to think, and said: "They are all greedy, if you say that you are innocent, I am afraid that you are the only one who is innocent." ”

Song Jiu sneered, this is not easy to say, maybe Zhao Kuangyin has some evidence in his hands, maybe it is Wang Quanbin They are dog-eat-dog, but it was your old man who issued an edict and asked everyone to take it, who is to blame?

Coming to the Imperial Garden, Zhao Kuangyin said: "Look at this peach blossom." ”

The Imperial Garden is also very simple, with some simple rockery pavilions, some flowers and trees, and a few ponds. The peach blossoms have not yet bloomed, blooming with a little bit of redness, which is very cute.

"Song Jiu, no one picks this peach blossom right now, once it blooms, someone will pick it. If you don't pick it, you can produce peaches, and if you fold it, it will wilt in a few days. ”

Song Jiu was shocked, there was something in this, he thought about it and said: "It is in the palace, whoever dares to pick it, no one dares to pick it, it can obediently bear peaches." ”

Zhao Kuangyin was happy and said: "Yes, take the word." ”

"Your Majesty, take it, the word is Yi'an."

"I want to give you a word, Zhongzheng."

"Zhongzheng," Song Jiu couldn't help but snort coldly.

"What's wrong?"

"No, Your Majesty, it's still Yi'an, it's not that Weichen refuses to edict, this Zhongzheng and Weichen don't dare to accept it."

"Hehe, it's okay, Yi'an Yi'an, Hezhong'an, Jinghu'an, Bashu'an, although your ambition is smaller, this word can also be."

"It's better to be smaller, it's not cold in high places."

"The high place is not cold, okay, speaking of the high place, Lu Yuqing wrote a recital, saying that he had agreed with you, if he could open the Bashu predicament, he would try to protect you as a five-grade official. Do you want to be a loose official? ”

"Think...... Your Majesty, forget it, he is promoted one level at a time, Weichen is young, has shallow qualifications, and has a low reputation, and this five-grade scattered official student can't stand it. ”

"I will give you 700 households in Xuandelang, the founding of the country, and 300 households in the actual seal, and the remaining officials are still the same."

"Your Majesty."

The Song Dynasty still retains the Tang system of feudal feudal food and euphemism, with more than 10,000 households, which is a false title, don't take it seriously, and it is impossible to assign you 10,000 households to operate. In addition, it is the actual sealing system, which is also not a division of the people to the giver to be a ministry, it is still an honorary position, the difference is that the former is a pure virtual position, and the latter can receive the corresponding subsidy. More than 1,000 households, less than 100 households, each household is discounted with 25 wen per month, and it is distributed with the official salary. That is to say, Song Jiu got 300 real seals, and he could receive 7,500 additional real seals every month.

Song Jiu will not take this seven and a half coins in his eyes now, but this is an honor, with it, he will be the founder of the country, not a virtual lord like before, and no one will take it seriously. And with the positions of Xuan Delang and Dr. Taichang, I can get more than 50 yuan every month. Compared to the average person, the salary is not low.

"It's good that you're easily satisfied. I am not a stingy official, and I will be rewarded for my merits. If you have a mistake, you will be punished, but if you are given five ranks, it will harm you. ”

"Weichen knows the way, and Mu Xiu will urge him in the forest wind."

"You're just an ordinary rotten peach, why are you being urged by the wind." Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but say happily. This is a joke about Song Jiu, Song Jiu has no desire, then he makes him happy and makes him worry, his ambition is not high, so he will not take excessive risks for glory and wealth, but he is also slightly lacking in self-motivation. However, Zhao Kuangyin also had to admit that sometimes Song Jiu was still a little bold. After all, it is Song De's child.

As the two of them were talking, the sky was getting darker and dusk, and Xiao Huangmen came over and said, "Your Majesty, dinner is ready." ”

"Song Jiu, accompany me to dinner."

"Whoa."

The specifications are relatively grand, and there are two yellow doors and two palace maids standing on the side, ready to serve at any time. But the dishes are very ordinary, with mutton, steamed lamb liver, and some fruits and vegetables. There is also a pot with cucumbers.

Zhao Kuangyin pointed to the cucumber and said, "This thing is good, it can eat a lot of money." ”

Song Jiu estimated that cucumbers were about to be taken off the market. But at this time, Haruna has not yet slammed on, but it is on. There are no cucumbers either, and it is still very expensive. Whispered, "Where did you buy this?" ”

"Bought it in the market. Two taels of money, I ate so much that my teeth were sore. ”

"Your Majesty can come to my house and buy some in the name of Hemai."

"That's not good, what is and buying, it is a necessity for the court to buy from merchants, not to satisfy my appetite. It's expensive, so I'll eat less. You also have to remember that if you don't give me fruit, I won't blame you. If you want to please me by flattering me with fruits, vegetables, and other things, either the minister will impeach you, or I will not tolerate it. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty is an elder."

"I can't be an elder alone." Zhao Kuangyin sighed.

"Your Majesty, you can take your time, after all, the country has just come out of the five generations, and everything is starting from scratch. I think that when the Western Han Dynasty was first built, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military turned the temple into a vegetable market, compared with the Western Han Dynasty, our dynasty has to make a lot of progress. ”

The eunuch was full of wine, Zhao Kuangyin liked to drink, and he also liked to persuade the minister to drink, and said to Song Jiu: "Eat bar." ”

"Weichen respects His Majesty first, and there are no borders of blessings." Song Jiuyi suppressed his neck and drank dry.

"Very good, a little bit of the style of Niu Shui's killing poke that night."

"This, Weichen didn't do it that night."

"But you command, you are the one who wields the sword."

“…… Your Majesty, what about the dozens of prisoners? ”

"The thorn has been sent to the Xuzhou mine, and I haven't killed it."

"The two hundred rivers ride ......"

"Don't worry, I won't treat them harshly, let them rest for one night first, and tomorrow I will meet them, and then let them return to Puzhou, and let Kang Yanze reward a hundred horses of silk each. But Song Jiu, something happened in your house after you left. ”

"Something happened in my house?"

"Someone has accused your disciple Lu Qingshu of being a spy sent by Han Xizai."

"Lu Qingshu is a spy?"

"The case has been transferred from Yushitai to Kaifeng Mansion, what is the specific situation, you can ask the second brother tomorrow."

When Song Jiu heard that he had transferred to Kaifeng Mansion, his heart was settled. Zhao Kuangyin didn't regard the Tsing Yi case as a big event, and asked: "I heard Ding Deyu say that you want to transform the stone cannon?" ”

"There is such a thing, I looked in the barracks, although some stone cannons are thrown far, they can be operated complicated, they are actually seven to ten pins, and I heard that there are thirteen pins, or the miniaturized stone cannons are not far away, the weight is limited, and the lethality is insufficient. This can be improved, in fact, the enemies of my court are not the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Southern Han Dynasty, the monarchs of these two countries are mediocre and incompetent, and the strong enemy in the future is still the Khitan. Then the war is mostly a war in the wilderness and plains, and it is also necessary to make the stone cannon smaller without harming the power, including all kinds of equipment. Maybe Wechen can still design some strong crossbows, but they haven't been studied, and when the research is out, Wechen will be handed over to the imperial court. ”

"Do it well, if the merit accumulates to a certain point, the five-grade scattered official can also be awarded exceptionally."

In ancient times, it was important to eat and not speak, it seems that it doesn't work when you come to Zhao Kuangyin, you talk while eating, but Zhao Kuangyin doesn't talk too much, mainly to ask and listen to Song Jiu's answer.

After eating, he had to thank the lord Longen, Song Jiu hurriedly left the imperial city, and he didn't know how many things to do at home. Riding a horse galloped quickly into the river. Suddenly, I thought of one thing on horseback, and I said a lot today, including what I saw in Bashu. However, I felt that something was very wrong. It's not Bashu, it's mainly Bashu and the displaced people when I go west, but the focus of the conversation seems to be slightly deviated...... (To be continued......)
