Song Jiu came to Pan's house.

Tian was very happy and sent his servants to buy many precious dishes to entertain her husband and son-in-law, who had returned for a long time.

Both of them are getting more expensive, and this getting more expensive refers to Pan Mei's position today and Song Jiu's future. Although Zhao Kuangyin said that Song Jiu was the most learned person, he still did not give Song Jiu an official position. But there is a more speculative person in the court, Lu Duoxun went to the book, Your Majesty, you said that Song Jiu's copper smelting was over, so that he could enter the court as an official. Zhao Kuangyin said, Lu Qing doesn't know, I should treat him as a third division, but the Southern Tang Dynasty recovered, the copper money is even more scarce, and this matter is more serious.

It couldn't be clearer.

Flattened the Southern Tang Dynasty, only got more than 700,000 copper coins from the treasury of Jinling City, the Southern Tang Dynasty had copper, but over the years through tribute or trade, including gold and silver, more circulated to the Song Dynasty, so the Southern Tang Dynasty had to use iron money to make money, even if the Southern Tang Dynasty used paper to make money, it would not care, but now that it has been recovered, it can not be ignored. Iron coins cannot be canceled for the time being, but there are many drawbacks.

After countless large-scale tests in Song Jiu, they all know that the test and production are two different things, and the copper comes out, not made of pure copper, to be doped with lead and tin, there are many reasons for doping these two metals, one is to reduce costs, the second is to increase the difficulty of counterfeiting, and the third is to prevent money. Because of the lack of copper coins, most of the copper produced is used to mint coins, so there is not much copper for other purposes, and the price of copper is higher than the price of copper coins. However, if it is mixed with lead and tin, it is not easy to sell coins as utensils. However, too much adulteration has reduced the quality of copper coins, and even because the price of money is lower than the price of metal, some profiteers have counterfeited copper coins. How to mix together is another science. Song Jiu is now studying this matter.

It can also be considered an alloy, and this technique is equally important.

Nantang can only be said to have recovered. There are still some areas that are revolting, but not on a large scale. Just after the annihilation, large-scale mining of copper began. The technique over there was almost successful, and the Song Dynasty wanted to mint copper coins on a large scale to solve the problem of money shortage.

It does matter.

Zhao Kuangyin said that he was treated with three divisions, not referring to the internal positions in the three divisions, but referring to the three envoys. This is the country's financial minister, and it is not unimportant. And Chu Zhaofu led the three divisions to take up the post, but he has not done a good job. Song Jiu's appointment as the third envoy seemed to be a matter of course.

So Lu Duosun didn't say anything more.

is not the prime minister yet, several three envoys in the early Northern Song Dynasty, except for the sad Zhao Wei, can not be counted. Zhang Mei is a former Zhou official who is estranged from Zhao Kuangyin, and the other three envoys have all entered the two mansions, and the probability is sixty percent!

Then in the future, the two will rely on each other and will not fall for decades.

Song Jiu knows this mother-in-law's thoughts very well, and he has never been too interested in her.

After sitting down, he said to Pan Mei: "Father-in-law, congratulations." ”

Pan Mei Ha Lu Ha Yi Le.

"This great victory did not hurt the people, and the name of the father-in-law should be left in the annals of history."

This time, Pan Mei didn't laugh, he whispered, "Xiao Jiu." Not as you heard, I will only tell you one example, after our army entered Jinling City, there was an ancient temple in the city called Shengyuan Temple. There is an attic in the temple, which is as high as ten zhang, and some rich people in the city are afraid. Hide here with gold and silver. When some soldiers heard about it, they broke into the area and looted all the belongings of the people. Then a fire burned down the ancient temple and more than 1,000 people. When Wang Shi entered Jinling City, it was only the Southern Tang Palace that he really couldn't enter. ”

"Huh?"

"Blame Xu Xuan for what His Majesty has. Because of this, if Li Yu had surrendered earlier, and the soldiers had not entered Jinling City, these situations would not have happened. But Guohua did his best, in order to prevent all kinds of bad phenomena from happening, he deliberately pretended to be sick, and swore an oath to generals. All the important generals in this army did not do evil, and it was because of him. ”

"Why don't you urge?"

"Xiao Jiu, if we didn't go south to Guangnan, most of that army were my subordinates, I had been training in Hunan for many years, and they didn't dare not listen to what I said. Most of them were mainly Hunan soldiers, who suffered greatly from it back then, so you and I implemented benevolent government, and we will approve it with the pawns. And the hundreds of thousands of troops outside Jinling City, and even Wu Yue's army, no matter Guohua or me, there is no way to make all the soldiers obey orders, besides, Jinling City is so rich, how to restrain it? Guohua has done its best. ”

When Pan Mei said this, she was slightly unhappy in her heart.

The two were recruited to the capital, and Zhao Kuangyin once promised to take down the Southern Tang Dynasty and give Cao Bin as the prime minister, but the result was no, saying that the Northern Han Dynasty had not yet been pacified. Pan Mei laughed on the side, Zhao Kuangyin asked him why he was laughing, and Pan Mei told him about the conversation he had with Cao Bin.

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't sit still, so he gave Cao Bin 200,000 yuan, there are many people in the capital who have 200,000 yuan, but there are so many copper coins, almost no family, so much cash is piled up together, how spectacular, so that Cao Bin sighed, why should he be a prime minister in life, a good official doesn't have too much money!

And soon gave Cao Bin to lead the envoy to the official, Cao Bin did okay, and after returning to Beijing, he was very low-key, and only wrote one sentence on the list of Zhao Kuangyin, and sent him to Jiangnan as a businessman. I went to Jiangnan to do a business trip, not to succeed in cutting Jiangnan. is even more low-key than Song Jiu!

But this reward is a little too heavy, if there is money, you don't have to be the prime minister, if there is a prime minister, why should you reward so much money, so that the historian recorded it indiscriminately, saying that it was 200,000 yuan, 500,000 yuan, and a few hundred yuan to make Cao Bin sigh like this?

Looking at Pan Mei again, he only received one envoy to the northern court of Xuanhui, and before Cao Bin sent troops, he received the envoy of the southern court of Xuanhui, and the central and southern courts of the Privy Council were more expensive than the northern courts. If Cao Bin has a great credit, it will be forgotten, but in fact it is not, Cao Bin attacked Jiangnan, and the previous few vicious battles were fought by Pan Mei, or Liu Yu Wang Ming fought at the mouth of the Anhui River, which has little to do with Cao Bin. Either let Pan Mei slow down and besiege Jinling for almost eleven months. It's really hard to say whether this is right or wrong, and the real merit can only be said that the generals swore by pretending to be sick that time, but in that case, wouldn't Song Jiu do better in Lingnan?

However, Cao Bin led the envoy with a privy envoy and achieved the ultimate of the ministers, Song Jiu has not yet had an official position, or he is treated by a third division, not to mention Pan Mei, not to mention not even a copper plate, on the contrary, under the persecution of Song Jiu, several children dedicated the Hezhou deed shares to the imperial court.

……

The Spring Festival is coming, after the Southern Tang Dynasty was wiped out last year, Zhao Kuangyin had ordered Qian Yu, Marshal Ke Biling has made great contributions, and he can temporarily come to meet with me to comfort and delay his thoughts, that is, he should be returned, and he will stay soon. I have three coins to see God, how can I break my word!

Although Wu Yue sincerely obeyed the Song Dynasty, the two did not meet once, but Qian Yu hesitated, afraid that he would be detained after going to Kaifeng. Cui Renji persuaded on the side: "The emperor is heroic and invincible, the situation in the world can be known, and the whole people are protected, and the strategy is also above." ”

Don't you listen, Zhao Kuangyin ordered Li Yu to enter Beijing, Li Yu didn't listen, and the country was finished. Now that the Southern Tang Dynasty has also been taken, what did Wu Yue use to resist the army of the Song Dynasty? Qian Yu was helpless and took his son Qian Weijun and others into Beijing. But the person who received it surprised everyone, it was not Zhao Kuangyi, but Zhao Dezhao.

At first, Song Jiu didn't pay much attention.

Qian Yu probably didn't pay attention, this line is better than he imagined, Zhao Kuangyin was treated with ten courtesies, and gave him the right to go to the court with a sword, and the edict was nameless, and then regardless of the minister's opposition, his wife was the princess of Wuyue, and let Qian Yu and Zhao Kuangyi talk about the gift as brothers, Qian Yu was flattered and didn't dare to accept it, kowtowed, and stopped.

After the Spring Festival, Zhao Kuangyin went west to Luoyang and returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors.

This is also easy to understand, Zhao Kuangyin grew up in Luoyang Jiama Camp when he was a child, and now he is the emperor, and he returns to his hometown when Daybro returns. And he has come to this point in life, and it is far beyond his imagination, when he ran away from home, could he think of becoming an emperor and ruling the world? Therefore, when Jiangnan arrived, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help crying left and right, and said: "Yuxian is divided, the people suffer from it, and when the city is attacked, there will be people who will be slashed, which is really sad." ”

It is a good thing for the people to be able to dominate the world, but why can't Zhao Kuangyin cry with joy?

Therefore, you should also return to your hometown to worship your ancestors.

Qian Yu asked to go too, but Zhao Kuangyin did not agree, and said when he talked about the banquet in the martial palace: "The north and south are different in climate, and it is appropriate to start early. ”

And when Qian Yu first came to the capital, he was a relative in his heart, and he gave a poem at the banquet, and there was a sentence on it, the golden phoenix wanted to fly and was swayed, and the love veins were separated by the clouds and rain in the jade building. Zhao Kuangyin heard the song and knew the elegance, and said to him, vowing not to kill King Qian. Even if you rebel, I will let the army destroy you Wu Yue, and I will not kill you. There is another sentence at the end, as far as I live, as long as you live......

That is, one day with me, you will be the king of Wuyue who is safe and rich for a day.

But this sentence undoubtedly has a bit of a bad sign......

So after Qian Yu heard Zhao Kuangyin's sentence, he cried and asked for a three-year-old day, and Zhao Kuangyin said: "Sichuan Tu is far away, wait for an edict before you come, don't use a three-year-old day without an edict." ”

Then give him a small yellow envelope for him to look at on the road. Qian Yu got on the boat, returned to Wu Yue, and opened the small yellow bag halfway, all of which were Zhang Shu who the ministers asked to keep him. From then on, Qian Yu became more loyal to the Song Dynasty. But Zhao Dazai can do his best in his life......

Zhao Kuangyin took his ministers to Luoyang, and the prime minister Shen Yilun was deployed for the Tokyo garrison and the inner capital, and the general of the left guard, Wang Ren, sentenced the three divisions of the division and the knowledge of Kaifeng Mansion.

This is a very interesting personnel transfer, he went to Luoyang to worship his ancestors, Zhao Kuangyi also brought it, but Zhao Kuangyi's Kaifeng Mansion Yin took the position, and there is also an obscure personnel arrangement, there are two people in the capital, one is Zhao Kuangmei, and the other is Zhao Dezhao. Although the power of the capital is all two, Shen Yilun and Wang Renzhen are courtiers, Zhao Kuangmei and Zhao Dezhao are the children of the royal family, these two people stay in the capital, don't say that they have important officials with them, that is, they have no important positions, and Shen Yilun and Wang Renzhen are somewhat subject to their control.

So after Song Jiu heard this order, he thought of Zhao Dezhao replacing Zhao Kuangyi to welcome Qian Yu, and he was very puzzled, could it be that Zhao Kuangyin regretted it again and remembered to use Zhao Dezhao as his heir? (To be continued......)
