The yamen were still noisy, and a few bigwigs brought a quilt back, and it was freezing outside, and the one was covered with warmth. In fact, they also have some blanket products at home, but they feel different, just like going to Shundian to eat, maybe the dishes may not be in line with the taste, but such an expensive dish to eat, it is delicious.

The news also spread quickly.

Song Jiu said: "Really no, so many years have passed, why rush this year?" Either I have some cottonseeds here, you take them back and plant them, and I will send someone to teach your servants how to plant and cultivate them. By next year, you will have a lot of cotton in your hands, and you will have it covered and rolled and climbed and turned over. ”

Pan Li'er giggled.

The yamen had no choice but to ask for a bag of cotton seeds to go home. At this time, Song Jiu found that he had also fallen into a misunderstanding, desperately trying to weave the craft, but the Song Dynasty did not lack cloth for the time being, and the luxury of silk silk was used, and the poor could wear kudzu hemp. What is really lacking is warm clothes and bedding. This process does not need to be too complicated, and if you change the spinning bow, the iron collar can also be improved. Then cotton will enter thousands of households. There is no conflict between promoting and improving seeds.

In the first year, they had to let the yamen plant, they didn't care about the money, they were willing to fertilize, and they could observe and record while sending people to guide them. That would be a record of hundreds of acres of cotton fields, and the irrigation conditions are different, and the soil properties of the land are different, so it can be more comprehensively recorded.

After eating, Pan Li'er said coquettishly: "Official, I want to sleep." ”

Don't get me wrong, she wants the quilt to be soft and enjoy it in the cotton nest earlier.

The next day, Song Jiu was on duty and began to listen to Zhao Kuangyi's words, and he managed what he could. If you can't manage it, you shouldn't see it, and you should go to the third division to rest. I heard a message. Li Jixun's soldiers came to the city of Taiyuan, and Guo Wuwei had not moved for a long time. He was also depressed, and at this time he heard that the Khitan army had arrived at the border of the Northern Han. He may not be afraid of the Khitan, but in this big winter, fighting the Khitan people in the wild, there is no doubt that he is looking for death. So he sent a fast horse to report to Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin was also inexplicable, and he was afraid of accidents, so he had to recall Li Jixun's army back to the capital first. However, these people were not afraid, knowing that the Khitan Iron Cavalry of the Dao Dao could go south at any time, they still calmly plundered the two states of the Northern Han Dynasty, Jin, and Qi, not only plundering property. There was also no property, mainly plundering people. calmly returned with a large number of people.

Song Jiu didn't know the inside story of Lu Dao, so he couldn't figure it out, if he only wanted to plunder the population, there was no need to send so many elite troops and various brave generals, then this time the dispatch of troops seemed very unreasonable. sent an official document to Zhongshu, but he didn't expect Zhao Pu to summon him in. first asked him to sit down and asked, "Song Jiu, the old man saw those lands you circled the day before yesterday, what use do you plan to use?" ”

Song Jiu looked at Zhao Pu hesitantly. Did he see it?

Although his motives were not pure, he was very afraid of Zhao Pu.

Some time ago, the general judgment of Dali Temple saw that many subordinate officials and officials attached themselves to Zhao Pu, and added or decreased the name of the criminal law for no reason. I couldn't bear it, and I wanted to see Zhao Kuangyin explain the matter. Zhao Kuangyin did not meet him. So he forcibly broke into the martial arts hall and shouted: "The minister has urgent business." Why didn't His Majesty see the ministers? ”

Zhao Kuangyin asked him what was going on, and Lei Dexiang reported the situation of Zhao Pu attached to the officials of Dali Temple, and forcibly bought citizens' houses to collect bribes. Accumulation refers to making money in the wood business, and bribery is to accept bribes. Since Lei Dexiang said it, there must be some evidence in his hands, but Song Jiu can't hear it. Then he impeached Zhao Chengzong for all kinds of illegal acts.

In fact, how could Zhao Kuangyin not know these things?

He was not afraid of officials getting rich, and even acquiesced in the fact that officials were rich, but he hated one point, and he could not contaminate his military power too much, endanger his safety, and make the phenomenon of the Five Generations re-staged. Even Wang Quanbin's mistakes can be tolerated, not to mention Zhao Pu's mistakes. Isn't it just a business, and if he doesn't do it, don't those businessmen do it? and there was no murder or arson.

So I listened silently, like Zhao Wei, I played the same old tune and didn't say anything new. Lei Dexiang saw Zhao Kuangyin's attitude, and knew that there was no play, so the more he talked, the more excited he became, Zhao Kuangyin listened impatiently, and shouted: "Ding Zhong still has ears, you don't hear that Zhao Pu is my social minister." ”

ordered him to be dragged to Zhao Pu left and right, and let Zhao Pu be executed with capital punishment. After a while, he was angry and demoted him to Shangzhou as a secretary to join the army, and it is estimated that the capital punishment is fake, this is to make a look, Zhao Pu, how do I treat you? It's like he gives a quilt to a bed for each person.

Shangzhou is not a big state, and the general judgment of Dali Temple is an important position, from the general judgment of Dali Temple to the general judgment of Shangzhou to join the army, which is not as high as Song Jiu's student. is just a matter of writing and talking, and the execution is very heavy. Zhao Pu is still unwilling, the original Shangzhou Thorn Shi and Lei Dexiang are old acquaintances, and they are very polite to Lei Dexiang. So Zhao Pu waved his pen and asked Xiyu to be the governor of Shangzhou, and let Xiyu make it difficult to insult Lei Dexiang. I heard that Lei Dexiang was made miserable by Xi Yu below, and something will happen sooner or later.

At this time, Song Jiu understood two things, the first one mentioned the famous appearance of the Song Dynasty, most people think of Kou Zhun and Wang Anshi, and few people think of Zhao Pu, this person's selfishness is so heavy that Song Jiu's imagination is out. Maybe in his later years, Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu could fight with him. Also, why didn't the Northern Song Dynasty hear about the famous ministers. Who dares to give advice seriously?

In this regard, Zhao Da is not as good as Zhao Er, at least Kou Zhun still dares to pull Zhao Er's dragon robe through the strong advice, and he can still be safe and sound, so that Zhao Er often misses.

So in the face of Zhao Pu's Quan Yan, Song Jiu replied very carefully and said: "Zhao Xianggong, I haven't figured out what the specific use is, mainly because of the construction of Hezhou, which is beyond my expectations." Originally, there was a lot of vacant land left on the east side of the river island to build houses. This house will not make money, the land is too expensive, and it will not make money. Its role is to increase popularity. I heard Tsing Yi say that there is a mountain in Huizhou called Huangshan, the scenery is beautiful and unparalleled in the world, Zhao Xianggong, have you heard of it? ”

"Nope."

"I don't either, why be obscure, because there is no one to promote it. The less popular, the less famous, and even more so in Hezhou, now the map is novel, and there are many tourists, which drives Hezhou and Hebei to have business. After a few years, the freshness will go down, there will be fewer people, and there will not be many residents, and it will slowly become obscure. This consequence is very terrible, not only Zhao Dalang and I have losses, but as soon as Hezhou collapses, hundreds of people will lose the opportunity to support their families. Therefore, it is still a person, and the more people, the more tourists. It's like when I go south or west, I see many beautiful landscapes. Because there was no one around, I also lost interest in watching. So you have to build a house. Let there be many residents nearby, at least they will take a stroll when they are idle. The popularity will continue unabated. There is now a third less space on the west side of the river. In addition, it is necessary to settle the soldiers and some people who have migrated over. You have to think of ideas in Henan. There may be workshops in the future, and the glass workshop will also be expanded. I was also worried about the rise of land in Hebei, so I simply spent money to buy more land, where to put it on, to use it for construction, and not to continue to let the people cultivate, so as not to miss things. But how to ...... exactly" Song Jiu was at a loss and shook his head again: "Zhao Xianggong, I really can't think of it." A textbook made my head grow and I couldn't think of it. But it certainly has a helpful effect on Hezhou, including Hebei. If there is no popularity, Hebei is even more dangerous. ”

"Popularity?"

"It's popularity, for example, what is the scenery of Xiangguo Temple, which can be half as beautiful as Hezhou, but there are fewer tourists than Hezhou? The main thing is that there are more people, and the more people there are, the more people go. ”

Song Jiu walked out of the middle book, and a cold sweat broke out in his palms.

There are a lot of stories happening in Hebei. For example, this time Zhao Chengzong deceived the victims, many of the victims wanted to escape, one is the comparison of Hezhou, and the other Zhao Kuangyi also moved some tricks. Ming himself reminded him again and again. It is also counted that the people who really have no way out, the side households and some people who are destitute. can be placed with low treatment, Zhao Chengzong only listened to a small half. And Zhao Pu's eyes are also staring at Zhao Kuangyi. It's not about yourself. The main thing is that commerce is underdeveloped. In terms of scheming or IQ, I am too far behind.

It seems that you still have to be careful.

Back home. A large crowd was surrounding the stable, Da Hei had given birth, and was neighing in grief, and Pan Li'er was combing the horse's hair with a comb, trying to soothe it. But Daikoku still chirped in pain.

Pan Weide had seen it in the barracks and stood on the side to command.

Even the students dropped the textbooks in their hands and crowded to the side to read.

After a while, a foal was born, and Dafeng, one of the little twins, said: "This is the seed of that horse, big gray, small red, big flower, it doesn't look like it." ”

Xiaofeng said: "It's definitely not Xiaoqing's, Da Hei can't look down on it." ”

"How such a big foal is born, let me see."

Unconvinced, the little pony spewed out rough air on the side, and Jade Ping reached out and covered their mouths to prevent them from babbling. Then pull a pair of twins aside. Big Black begins to stick out his tongue and lick it on the pony.

Pan Weide continued to be the commander, and Song Jiu said: "Uncle, you came just in time, come here, I have something to tell you." ”

Pan Weidra took it aside and asked, "Why are you in Shundian every day, and you also pull Lian'er over." ”

"Why don't you spend so much money?"

"Can't spend like this, do so many people impeach Wang Quanbin?"

"He went too far in Liangchuan."

"Do you think there are a few ministers who care about the lives of the people of Liangchuan? It's because he got too much money, and he was red-eyed. In this way, you can donate 50,000 yuan to the college to support the students. ”

"Brother-in-law, you don't take money seriously, it's hard for us to make money, and there are three brothers and four brothers. My mother gave birth to a sister for us in Tanzhou. The little sister's dowry is like this, can the little sister's dowry be bad? ”

"Little sister?"

"Yes, my eldest brother just received a letter from my father." Pan Li'er said.

Song Jiu knew in his heart, this little sister is amazing, there are still behind, maybe there is a little little brother, this doesn't matter, Song Jiu said again: "You come here, I'll show you some drawings." ”

I took out a stack of drawings from the room, which were drawings of wine bottles and wine boxes, all kinds of shapes, whether they were bottles or boxes, they were all incomparably beautiful, and there was silk wrapped in bottles underneath, embroidered with the scenery of the river island.

Pan Weide flipped through these drawings in a daze and asked, "Brother-in-law, do you sell wine, bottles, or boxes?" ”

"This year, we sold the glass to Fanzi, and next year we can sell it to the Goryeo and Japanese people, and the next year these sake have been aged many times, and they have a taste, and maybe it is also a unique shochu in other parts of the world. Packaged like this and sold to Fanzi, how much can a bottle be sold for? ”

"Yes, grade," Pan Weide finally came to his senses, and now he knew a lot of new terms and said: "It can also be sold to the Wa Kingdom and the Khitan Goryeo." ”

"Yes, but don't expect them, it's still the West."

"Why?"

"These countries don't necessarily have much money, they don't even have money, how to buy it. Do you expect Shundian to do business for the poor? Only the West. Let me tell you a piece of history, once upon a time there was a country in the West called Persia, not the Persia of the Tang Dynasty, but another dynasty before it, with an annual income of about 15,000 tarands, and the last king named Alexander defeated them, opened the treasury, and obtained 300,000 tarand gold. One tarant is equivalent to twenty-six imperial catties and seven hundred taels. 210,000,000,000 taels of gold. ”

Song Jiu was also a little skeptical about this history, could it be that Persia was so rich at that time? However, there is indeed a lot of gold and silver in West Asia, including gold and silver in China, because of the asymmetry of wealth, most of them are circulated there. If you want to make money in foreign trade, you have to do business with the big cannibals in the end, and even build a sea ship and go to the big food in person.

This number obviously scared Pan Weide.

"Don't worry about money, this is not Hezhou, it's our business, but you rely on Shundian every day, spending a lot of money, it's too arrogant, and if you are too arrogant, you will be struck by lightning."

"Brother-in-law, don't talk too seriously, I will listen to you, go back and discuss with the second brother, and then donate the money."

"Hmm...... Don't worry, you can't donate like this," Song Jiu suddenly said, thought for a while and said, "Don't be in a hurry to donate, I will make a request to the emperor another day and let him force you to donate." ”

"Then it's better not to donate."

"It must be donated, next year a large number of mirrors will go south to Hangzhou, just like vegetables, swarming up, and the price of vegetables will plummet. There will be people who will be unhappy then. But you can't donate directly, think about how much tax Hebei has paid? Zhao Xianggong made so much money, and how much did he donate? ”

"That's it, then why should I donate?" Pan Weide obviously does not have such a high ideological consciousness.

"You want to compare with Zhao Xianggong, his house is more luxuriously decorated than the palace, who dares to say? Can you do it, can you do it? I'm afraid that the emperor will not agree, if the emperor agrees to force you to hand over 50,000 yuan, it will be a kind of protection for you and your father-in-law. ”

What Song Jiu said is the truth, in the past few years from the end of Qiande to the beginning of Tianbao, whoever dares to provoke Zhao Pu will be finished! Things must be opposed, so he was deposed after the worst, but he suppressed Zhao Kuangyi so badly, and then ascended to the throne, which is the most terrifying. (To be continued......)
