Song Jiu had no choice, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this move cannot become the norm, you must guard against inconsistency between words and deeds, what you can say may not be able to do, and those who can do may not be able to say everything, Zhao Kuo is also." ”

Zhao Kuangyin didn't dare to let go of people, and kept playing the art of balancing between Zhao Kuangyi and Zhao Pu, but something happened in the game.

However, in the imperial examination and employment, he has always done a good job, no matter how many ranks, he first surveyed and polished, and according to the results of surveying, he was appointed to an official position. In the past 10 years, more than 180 jinshi have been hired, and only a small half of them have a smooth career, and the others have gradually faded people's vision because of their poor ability in government affairs.

Zhao Kuangyi not only chose a terrible number of places this time, but also directly bypassed the section of survey and grinding, and directly gave him a heavy position, which was not enough, and gave them the right to act cheaply, so where did the original officials who worked hard.

Although 200 taels is a large amount, only half of them have received real jobs, and tens of thousands of dollars can still be afforded by spending the state treasury.

But in that case, the imperial court election system will be completely destroyed.

However, Song Jiu did not strongly object.

Xue Juzheng and Shen Yilun were anxious, and Lu Duoxun kept smiling and silent.

Since then, the Song Dynasty has slowly entered the literati paradise, and Song Jiu was prepared, but this time it was different.

Why is this so, Zhao Kuangyi has a profound meaning.

There were many talented people in the Zhao Kuangyi shogunate, such as Chai Yuxi, Zhang Xun, Yang Shouyi, Zhao Rong, Zhou Ying, Wang Jiying, Wang Xian, Mi Dechao, Fu Qian, Wang Chao, Dai Xing, Wang Hanzhong, Wang Neng, Zhang Ning, Li Chonggui, Liu Yong, Geng Quanbin, Zhou Renmei, Wang Rong, Yang Qiong, Li Qi, Zhao Yanpu, Zhang Yuqi, Pei Ji, Gao Qiong, Ge Ba, Sang Zan, Lu Bin, Zhang Xu, Wang Yande, Cheng Dexuan, Wang Yande (the same name as the former), Wei Zhen, Shi Pu, Yuan Da, Guo Mi, Fu Sirang and Li Bin.

There are also officials of Zhao Kuangyi's faction, such as Feng Zan and Chen Congxin. Cheng Yu, Jia Yan. Shi Xizai and so on, also barely including Song Jiu.

At the same time, there are officials who have always been on the front line with Zhao Kuangyi. Redtsang, Lu Duoson, et al.

The eunuchs in the palace also have Wang Jien and others.

However, compared to the huge number of officials and soldiers in the entire Song Dynasty, this is not much.

Many of the other officials and soldiers were brought up by Zhao Kuangyin.

And most of his cronies have a very low starting point and cannot be directly promoted to a high position.

Now support, at least a few years before he can take the position. Therefore, in recent years, Zhao Kuangyi has used these new jinshi to reuse, which is to wash away Zhao Kuangyin's imprint in the government and the opposition.

So Ludosun laughed and said nothing.

Song Jiu's admonition has nothing to do with Xue Juzheng and Shen Yilun, what he is afraid of is that this case can become the so-called ancestral family law. Therefore, this should not be the norm.

Zhao Kuangyi smiled slightly and said, "Song Qing's words are extremely true. ”

But the decree was not withdrawn.

After the feast. Shen Yilun complained: "Yi'an, why don't you stop Your Majesty? ”

Can Song Jiu stop it, besides, even if he forcibly admonishes him, Zhao Kuangyi will not listen, but will leave an impression in Zhao Kuangyi's heart that he does not know the general situation, and at the same time, he has offended these actions in the world. It's stupid.

But this reason can't be said, Song Jiu said: "Shen Gong, Your Majesty is safe, and the world is safe." ”

That's enough. Shen Yilun finally understood and muttered, "I see. ”

"Let's take two or three imperial examinations, if Your Majesty continues to do this in the future, I will forcibly admonish you. And the joint imperial historians admonished. This session cannot be admonished. ”

However, Shen Yilun's face was gloomy, if it was as Song Jiu hinted, he was a hero of the overlord. is Zhao Kuangyin's henchman, and sooner or later he will be sad.

Song Jiu looked at his face. said: "Your Majesty's amount, don't underestimate it." ”

Shen Yilunran was worried about Zhong Zhong. Lu Duoxun was beaming.

Song Jiu glanced at him, Lu Duoxun is more intelligent, but compared with Zhao Pu, it is much worse, Lu Duoxun's fate has nothing to do with Song Jiu, Song Jiu is worried that Lu Duoxun's fate is also his.

Each of them went home with their hearts in mind.

Then came out a piece of news, Zhao Kuangyi sent Lei Dexiang to personally investigate Wang Jixun, and found out that Wang Jixun ate more than 100 maidservants, not only did he eat, but also colluded with a great monk in Luoyang Huiguang to accompany him to eat.

When the news broke, the whole country was in an uproar.

But Song Jiu didn't care too much about this matter, and he was discussing a letter with several prime ministers in the middle letter.

Although the imperial court set up a coinage prison in Jiangzhou, Jiangzhou withered and there was much inconvenience, so he requested to set up another prison in Shengzhou, so as to turn all copper production into copper coins and increase the number of copper coins.

It is also recommended that all copper mining pits be prohibited from being mined, and that the ban on money not crossing the river should be lifted.

All four sides agree with these three opinions.

And it is also beneficial to the people of Jiangnan, although Jiangnan produces copper, but a lot of gold, silver and copper flow into Jiangbei together, and later the Song Dynasty got Jiangnan, and the remaining copper money was transported to the capital, and the whole Jiangnan lacked trading currency.

But there is another article later, the copper coins stored in various places are used for the market transactions of gold silk, light goods and grain, and the gold and silk light goods obtained from the transaction are handed over to the central finance, and the iron money is changed into agricultural tools, so that the copper coins flow to the people, and in order to return the copper money to the imperial court, let the people use the copper money to pay taxes when they are taxed.

Xue Juzheng and Lu Duoxun thought it was a good idea, but Song Jiu shook his head.

"Yi'an, what's wrong?" Shen Yilun asked.

Song Jiu made his fortune by running Hezhou, and economically Song Jiu has the right to speak.

"Shen Gong, in order to facilitate the people and save waste, the people of Liangchuan changed to cloth instead of grain tax, and soon because the cloth was more circulated in the capital, the two rivers lacked cloth, the price of cloth rose, and the people also used less cloth, although the first emperor made some adjustments, the people of Liangchuan were very inconvenient."

"Fan Zhigu didn't let Jiangnan use cloth and silk to replace taxes, but there was only one more way to circulate, and gold silk light grain still flowed back to the imperial court during the transaction."

Song Jiu thought for a while, but he didn't know what was wrong, so he said: "In this way, I will propose a method, from now on, each state and each road will draw up a draft budget, and count the cost of garrisoning in various places, the salary of officials, and other expenditures for the next year. Then the tax will be reduced in various places, and try to meet the needs of each state as much as possible. Put it in the state treasury, and the states cannot be satisfied. Mainly in various ways. or if the states cannot be satisfied, the other state capitals in the nearest neighboring state will be the main ones and transfer to each other. The gold and silk light goods and grain and grass were separated together, and the rest was handed over to the imperial court, or transported by the imperial court. In order to save transportation loss, as well as unnecessary waste. However, for the purpose of oversight, all accounts must be submitted to the three divisions for review. What do you think? ”

"That's a good idea."

In fact, the Song Dynasty was also adjusting to each other before, but there were no clear regulations.

Lu Duoxun said: "What about Fan Zhigu's suggestion? ”

Song Jiu thought about it for a long time, and suddenly came up with it. Said: "I know what's wrong with the Tao. During Li Yu's time, there was a shortage of money and silk in the south of the Yangtze River, so more iron coins were minted, and iron coins are still the main currency in circulation. Once the iron money is turned into agricultural tools, and the copper money is withdrawn from the imperial court, Jiangnan will be more lacking in circulating currency, so the price of money will be higher, but the imperial court uses money as a tax, which is equivalent to increasing the burden on the people. ”

"That's right. Yi'an might as well implement the first three first, and then let Fan Zhigu think of a way to improve it. "Xue Ju is right.

"Okay."

The Chinese book was sent to Jiangnan with a post.

Soon Fan Zhigu replied that the currency in Jiangnan was chaotic, and many lawless people wantonly minted iron coins. I can't help it. However, once it was banned, the copper coins minted by the two prisons could not even meet the needs of Jiangnan trading and circulation, so the copper coins of the two prisons could not be used by the imperial court. The imperial court also lacked copper coins. Hence the recommendations. If other taxes are not replaced by copper coins, ask the imperial court to issue an edict to let Jiangnan Jiupu replace it with copper coins. In order to allow some of the copper coins to flow back to the imperial court.

It's a two-pronged approach.

The four of them discussed again, and the last thing was Song Jiu's method.

Agreed. However, the tax on gold and silver entering the city in Jiangnan was abolished, and gold and silver were quasi-currency, but they were also a commodity, so relevant taxes were also levied on gold and silver in various places when they were circulated.

Once abolished, gold and silver would be easier to circulate so that gold and silver could be used as an alternative currency for bulk trade.

No way, not only the Gyeonggi region lacks currency transactions, but also other regions, Jiangnan, Liangguang, and Bashu.

Song Jiu is very careful, but a hundred secrets, Fan Zhigu is selfish, he used to be in Jiangnan, and Yuzhang Xuanren Hong's enmity, the Song Dynasty had a wine Pu, the Southern Tang Dynasty was a contracting system, the wine tax was handed over to the wealthy people to contract, the Southern Tang Dynasty Hong's shortfall of the country's millions of liquor tax iron money, iron money abolished, replaced with copper money, Fan Zhigu urged Hong's to repay the deficit tax money, almost bankrupt Hong's. And it also led to a rapid rise in the price of Jiangnan liquor.

But in general, under the experience of the Song and the Ninth Dynasty, the various policies of the state became healthier and more perfect.

At least now, Song Jiu served as the governor and did not live up to Zhao Kuangyi's burden.

……

"This pickle!" Xiao Zhou looked at Zhang Xun's departing back and scolded.

Li Yu was in the dark in the south of the Yangtze River, and he didn't know that money was scarce, and even Jia Huangzhong, an official of the Zuozang Treasury, inspected the inner treasury for the last time before leaving office and handed over, and saw a treasury locked to death, so he asked the officials to open it to see, and inside were dozens of large cabinets full of gold bricks, worth millions.

This is not a small number, and then trace the source, it is the property of the Li family's palace, and it is not in the book. That is, this huge amount of money even Li Yu didn't know about it, it was about the people in his inner palace who saw that the city was about to be broken, and they were ready to transfer this gold out of the palace, but they didn't expect Cao Bin to take Jinling City in the blink of an eye, it was still in the Southern Tang Palace. But because he was not registered, Cao Bin's subordinates did not think to check it, and it was always placed in the inner library after it was transported to the capital.

Jia Huangzhong reported this incident to Zhao Kuangyi, and Zhao Kuangyi was overjoyed and rewarded Jia Huangzhong with 200,000 yuan.

This is a reward, if Jia Huangzhong is greedy and quietly transports this gold out of Lu, because it is not in the account book, it is impossible for the court to know the way.

But it also shows Li Yu's confusion.

Li Yu surrendered, Cao Bin was kind, you take some gold and silver money as soon as possible, and let you take it to the ship for the use of the capital. Then I will make an account of the rest and hand it over to the imperial court.

However, Cao Bin is kind-hearted, but the officials who can escort him may not be kind-hearted, and the money and silk that Li Yu brought were extorted by some people on the road, and there was little left after arriving in the capital.

After entering the capital, a large family, eating, drinking, wearing and living, and not knowing how to operate, slowly became financially constrained, Li Yu had no choice but to cry poverty to Zhao Kuangyi.

At this time, Zhao Kuangyi had not yet married the queen, and of course he had not touched Xiao Zhouhou, and after hearing it, he gave Li Yu three million money, which was not too much, not too little, but the whole family had not been happy for long, and Li Yu's biggest loyal minister, Zhang Xun, came to fight the autumn wind.

Li Yu angrily threw the most valuable platinum basin in the family to Zhang Xun.

This basin is worth a lot of money, and Zhang Xun left with a smile.

However, there is a first time and a second time, and the family sits at home, full of sorrow.

Huang Baoyi said: "Lord of the country, please ask for a lady." ”

Song Jiu didn't know about this matter, and he didn't care much about Li Yu, but he didn't expect to be implicated.

When she returned from the middle book, Pan Li'er pulled him into the room, and the slave in the room knelt on the ground and sobbed.

"What's going on?"

"This damn girl is bold."

"What did she do?"

"She is Li Yu's dancing girl...... Pan Li'er told the truth of the matter.

Song Jiu was dumbfounded, and said for most of the day: "No wonder you can't find Li Xiu, no wonder you don't go out much when you come to the capital...... You've hurt me. (To be continued......)
