"Wrong, I ask you, is there a luxury in my palace?"

"It's not extravagant, even as a palace of a big country, it's too simple, if the Shangyang Palace where Tang Gaozong took leave is not destroyed, Weichen ponders that the Great Song Palace is not as good as Shangyang Palace."

"How many yellow doors and palace maids are used in my palace?"

"Not much, very little."

"What if you don't have to?"

"That's impossible."

"I also know that it is very pitiful for Lu Dao to enter the deep palace, but I am also helpless, and I must use some people."

"Exactly, if you don't even use this Yellow Gate and the palace maid, the palace will be in chaos."

"It's good if you know the way, you need useful rules if you can use it, if the palace maid sees me at the banquet and invites the ministers to come to talk, what kind of system will the palace become?"

"This ......"

"If you endure some hardship, I will have a way to forgive them, that is, to give them to you, and I will not have to punish them."

"No."

"Don't worry, they are not the palace of Tang Taizong, which is equivalent to Taizong's concubine, so Fang Xuanling can't bear it, and he must be treated well. These are just two ordinary palace maids, whether you give them away, release them home, or stay at home as slaves, no one will blame you. ”

That is, the woman used by the emperor will be very precious, and it will not be worth much if it has not been used......

It doesn't matter, the main thing Zhao Kuangyin means is that I didn't threaten you with them. Even if it's a threat, it's your own doing.

Everyone dispersed, and they couldn't go home yet, so they had to go back to the ministries and departments to say hello, and the officials of the three divisions and one cadre walked in front, followed by two palace maids carrying small burdens. They don't have a high status in the palace, and of course they don't have much luggage. Chu Zhaofu said, "Song Jiu." They are palace maids, so be kind. ”

"That's it. Do you really give them away? I'll be kind and send them home right away. ”

The little palace maid suddenly bowed down and said, "Jiulang." The slave maid is a native of Hezhongfu, there was a mother in the family, the river drought, the mother starved to death, the slave maid was bought, and then sold into the palace one after another, and there were no relatives at home. ”

Chu Zhaofu smiled, no one has any relatives, see how you send them home?

"That's fine. You can stay in my house, if possible, I will make the decision for you, and in the future, I will find a virtuous person among the students, let you marry him, and live a happy life. ”

"Medium." Chu Zhaofu said.

"Envoy Chu, they are also pitiful, but the emperor is right, it is pitiful to fall into the deep palace. However, the emperor only used these palace maids and eunuchs, and he couldn't use people in the palace. ”

"Song Jiu, can you really come up with Niu Ce?" Chu Zhaofu directly changed the topic, this is not pitiful. It's mother-in-law!

"I don't know how to do it, even if I come up with it, it's just an improvement. It is impossible to improve and solve it completely. ”

"Chu thought it was very simple."

"A lot of things seem simple. It's not simple. But if you look carefully, you can find out, so the school has opened a new course after the accounting class. Business Management. It is about business, such as salt, as long as there is a price difference, there will be a lot of trouble in the future due to private salt, and even the northwest ......"

"Northwest?"

"It turns out that the price of salt is not expensive, if there is no salt, the profit of salt is very small, even if the northwest Zhuqiang produces salt, after deducting the freight, the profit is not too big. After the salt is raised, the northwest is full of large and small salt ponds. I can't ignore it, and once I put it aside, the contradictions will intensify. If you don't do it, you can only ban it, the northwest green salt tastes sweet and the amount is large, how to ban it. The ban is loose and has no effect, and the ban is tight, and the Qiang complains that they are nomadic or semi-nomadic people, and they are not in harmony with the agricultural civilization. As long as they complain, if a song leads them together, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

"Really?"

"Can't it be fake, like the Tang Dynasty, when Tubo began to become strong?"

"Why didn't you say that?"

"I don't want to talk about the taxes generated by a cow, and besides, it is the benefit of salt. I can't think of any reason why I should say it. Take a look, as soon as I say it, it's my business again. Envoy Chu, who can solve the disadvantages of salt? Are you, Zhao Xianggong, or Your Majesty? You have to say that you have nothing to do with me, I didn't say it. Judge Wang, have I told me? ”

"What do you say?"

"If you testify that I have said it, then I will impeach you for flattering the envoy and slandering me."

"Song Jiu, don't be kidding, if it's true, it will be very serious."

"yes, that's not serious. It's not serious if you don't do it, and there are pros and cons to doing it, just like wearing thick clothes in winter, which is just right, although it is a little inconvenient, but it can keep us from being cold. However, as the weather gets warmer, we have to wear less and less. If we don't adjust in time, not only will it be inconvenient, but we will also get hotter and hotter, and if we continue to wear thick winter clothes in the summer, we can heat people to death. ”

"How do the three divisions get dressed?"

"Envoy Chu, first, I haven't been in the Third Division for a long time, and I have no experience in dealing with government affairs before, and it was His Majesty who forced me to go to Liangshan."

"What forced Liangshan?"

"There is a very high mountain in the west, and the king is not good, so many people run to the mountain to take refuge in the government. There are also some people who don't want to go to Liangshan, but under the pressure of some bad officials, they have to go to Liangshan. ”

"The government forced the people to rebel."

"Almost, of course, the third division is not Liangshan, but for me it is a Liangshan. Secondly, I just study, come once every five days, and usually have to be distracted by a lot of things? Envoy Chu, I'll tell you, Shundian and so on are not officially on track yet, I must go over from time to time to prevent accidents, especially the playground. The school hall has expanded, and I am not under much pressure. I also want to write second-grade textbooks, as well as future accounting textbooks, to see the accounting of the three divisions, I don't dare to move, because I don't understand, if there are accounting textbooks, let all officials learn by themselves for a year, can we promote advanced bookkeeping and accounting methods? ”

"yes, that's important."

"That doesn't matter? And then I said that the test was tested, and the wheel didn't cost me money, but the court subsidized a lot of money, but this account was in the dark and not easy to detect. I don't care. Should anti-rust paint be developed? Can the two acid tests be stopped? Can the three kinds of mirrors, the far-sighted, the magnified, and the small, not be tested? Third, should the proportion of fertile soil be recorded? The country has always been short of copper, should we think about copper smelting methods in the future? Speaking of the three divisions, there are many officials in charge of the affairs of the three divisions. But can these leave me? How much energy do you think I can put into it? ”

"That's right."

"It's okay to go to the third division, mainly because I have too few helpers now. It will be taught for at least five to seven years, and I will be assisted by dozens of students who can really learn the knowledge. Then I'm relieved, and now all these things are important, all of them are huddled together. How do the three divisions get dressed, do I have the energy to think about it? Judge Wang, those who can work harder, you should think more. ”

"You're a judge, too."

"Envoy Chu, you still don't understand what I mean, there is no trouble if you don't do it, and there is always a good side to doing it. The downside. The policies that have just begun to emerge are mostly more pros and cons, but although the state gradually attaches importance to Qi people, the powerful and the common people are ultimately different, and the magnates will gradually use the loopholes of the policy to make profits for themselves, and gradually will transform the pros and cons of the policy into less pros and cons, so it is necessary to observe and adjust in time. I said that the salt administration, the tea administration has no drawbacks, and the cupbearer has no drawbacks? There are all of them, and this one person will not work. The whole machine must be functioning properly for the country to become healthier. If you want to achieve this goal, Judge Wang can't do it, I can't do it, and neither can you. It is the whole bureaucracy that can do it. ”

"The powerful are not as hateful as you say."

"Is the prime minister not hateful? Is it okay for the country to leave the prime minister? However, the power of the prime minister is too concentrated, and it is easy to produce Li Linfu-style ministers who mislead the country. If it is dispersed. Government affairs are bound to be redundant and chaotic. The same is true of the powerful, who have a vested interest in the state. National security will be automatically maintained. However, relying too much on the powerful will inevitably lead to a serious gap between the rich and the poor. It is a relatively mutualistic relationship. Nothing to do with the hateful. ”

Chu Zhaofu may not be able to understand, it has nothing to do with wisdom, this is the height of history.

Wang Anshi's reform is the trouble caused by the exploitation of the interests of the powerful by the state, and it is more fun in the Ming Dynasty, which shows how the eunuch party is, but the emperor does not need to be constrained by eunuchs, is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty still the emperor? Dealing with the present, Song Jiu gradually realized that Zhao Kuangyin really looked down on literati, although Song Jiu met some good civil officials, he still didn't look down on Wenchen very much. But without Wenchen, the consequences of using military generals are even worse, this problem is one of the problems that Song Jiu can't understand, so he doesn't think about it.

Song Jiu first sent Zhu Hong to the Zhu family. The whole family was happy, Song Jiu did not stop, and returned home.

Apple was strange at first.

Song Jiu talked about the situation, but if he didn't say it deeply, if he didn't say it deeply, most people would think that cattle were a relatively easy thing. Ping just said, "You're going down again?" ”

"This is different from going south to Jinghu Lake and west to Bashu, and I went to see the river embankment is a nature, at most the scope of seeing is a little larger, the time is a little longer, and the right is a trip. I'll come back in a month, and the areas I've been to are not war-torn areas, and I'm not barbaric areas, so don't worry. ”

Apple nodded.

There is nothing to worry about in the facts, Song Jiu went down to look at it, it was better to be able to think of it, and if he couldn't think of it, who could blame him?

Yuping looked at Su Xiaoyu again, and Song Jiu said: "Don't worry, the emperor is at my disposal, two palace maids, one is the daughter of the Zhu family, I will return it to his family." And her, you see that her appearance is not bad, she is only sixteen years old, it is when she is young, and she has served in the palace, and she can serve the emperor's palace maids, but she can't wait for a husband? I plan to find an excellent unmarried among the students and let her marry. Su Xiaoyu, are you willing? ”

"The slave is willing." Su Xiaoyu said happily that none of Song Jiu's students were bad, and they were among the best.

Then the number of the two people, there are really many students who have not married, and they are not even engaged. The most embarrassed Yuping said: "Just Li Zhu, others are honest and will not slack off Su Xiaoyu, after all, she was a member of the palace." ”

"It's okay," Song Jiu said. It's that the Li family's situation is relatively poor, but now Li Zhu's salary has risen to four dollars a month, and the situation has begun to gradually improve, and the first one given to Song Jiu is Song Jiu's slave maid, and when he gets married, he will give some subsidies as a dowry, and the Li family's situation will completely improve, and this Song Jiu and Yuping have not considered it.

Yuping was pleasantly surprised and said, "Jiulang, the slave family heard the news from my father. ”

She followed Song Jiu to learn some arithmetic accounting and physical knowledge by herself, and she was well-informed, so she handed over the store and the inn to her to manage. It's not every day, but I went to check once three or two days ago, and I did not do badly. Even some people are rumoring about the wisdom of this female shopkeeper.

Yuping also inquired about the availability of food from various places, including some precious ingredients smuggled from the Khitan. This is not a large amount, but it is indispensable. Song Jiu was not considered illegal, he was not involved in smuggling, and bought it from Song Dynasty merchants.

Some merchants were directly involved in smuggling, and they had some contacts with the Khitan side. There is no past, but there are occasional conversations when trading, and even some people have a good relationship. So Yuping entrusted them to ask the Khitan smugglers to inquire about her father's whereabouts.

Twenty years have passed, and God knows where her father has fallen. It can only be said that with a glimmer of hope, the father's original place of origin, name, birth date and his approximate birth date in the Song Dynasty should be avoided in detail, only the year, month and day, the time before the day, and the name, and the appearance of both sides were given to these merchants, and they asked them to inquire about the trading partners of the Khitan people on their behalf.

In this regard, Song Jiu did not object. Orphans are pitiful, look at Yuping, there is no relative, just a mother Li, and it is not a real relative.

However, I didn't expect to hear it.

Song Jiu walked around, and Yuping asked nervously, "Jiulang, aren't you happy?" ”

"I'm not unhappy, but I'm thinking about how to get this person to the Song Dynasty, no, it's how your father got the Song Dynasty." (To be continued......)
