When the Spring Festival comes, I have to pay New Year's greetings to my mother-in-law.

Pan Li'er sat in the car, holding Song Yu, and Song Funiang, Song Xiaoyu, Song Panpan, and two little guys, Song Wanniang and Song Bao, they let Song Jiu hold them and sit on horseback. But don't underestimate the children of the Song family, Yuping taught when she was in the capital, Pan Li'er was even more taught, Song Jiu seemed to be pampered, but in fact she was entertaining and teaching. Seven-year-old Song Funiang can calculate addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within three digits, can barely type addition and subtraction with an abacus, can barely read the Analects, and Song Bao can barely read a thousand characters. And under the leadership of Song Jiu, they are outgoing and can tell a lot of stories, although they are not as good as the very few genius children of the Song Dynasty who can compose poems at the age of seven or eight, but their intelligence performance is more than half higher than that of other children.

Song Bao is better, that's a boy.

But Song Wanniang is different, she is a girl, she has been loved by thousands of pets since she was born, plus she is good-looking, many ladies like her. However, listening to her reading the Analects, everyone was speechless, and blamed Pan Li'er together, she is a daughter, you teach her like this, who will marry her in the future?

There is also a person in the back who is also hanging in his heart, Zhao Kuangyi's wife Fu died of illness last year, and before he died, he took Zhao Kuangyi's hand and said, King, don't forget the Chai family.

Zhao Kuangyi smiled bitterly and nodded.

The Song family's teachings are like that, that is to cultivate demons, and his nephew is really not a good match.

When he came to Pan's house, Pan Renmei was coming back soon, but not too long, after the celebration banquet, he was going back to his station, that is, to Hanzhong. But not necessarily, maybe Zhao Kuangyin will change territory. Or, like Guangzhou, take this false post and stay in the capital. The knots gradually blurred the position. There are fictitious jobs and real jobs, even if they are real jobs. There are not many rights, and they are somewhat controlled by the civil servants. has the right to lead and train troops, but the number of troops is very small, and they are all box soldiers.

The official positions of the Song Dynasty also began to be ambiguous, such as the Xuanhui Southern Yuan Envoy, the Yicheng Jiedu Envoy Cao Bin as the privy envoy, the Lingzhongwu Jiedu Envoy, and the Shannan Dongdao Jiedu Envoy Pan Mei as the Xuanhui Northern Courtyard Envoy, ordinary people will be very confused, but in the Song Dynasty, the officials themselves will know the Tao, that is, Cao Bin is the prime minister of the Western Mansion. At the same time, he is leading the false position of the envoy of the loyal and martial arts, which has no real power, which is an honor, and at the same time gets an extra salary. However, this prime minister may also be the same as Shi Shouxin and them, becoming an envoy, that is, two major positions. Pan Mei's situation will be a little more complicated, she went to Hanzhong to take up her post, and the important position in the Xifu Xuanhui North Court became a vacant position, honor and get an extra salary. It doesn't make any other sense. If you don't go to work, you will be summoned to the West Mansion to work, and the festival will become a fictitious position. If you are at home, both positions will become vacant. If it is a levy in Taiyuan, the two positions are fictitious, and the post in Taiyuan is a real post. That is, knotting. But the two of them were too big to tie up; Although it is not much, it is a first-class official position.

So Tian also made some preparations at home. Prevent travel to other places.

Seeing a few children, Tian happily greeted him.

Several girls from the Song Jiu family were all salivating. Not only Song Jiu, but since Zhao Kuangyin promised the Duke of Guogong, as well as various other signs, no one underestimated Song Jiu. There are also their own qualities, as well as the 100,000 of the Song family.

Tian also wanted to have a kiss, but it was impossible.

She didn't underestimate Song Bao, this child is eccentric, maybe he will have a big future in the future, and her daughter has a good relationship with Song Jiu's concubine, and finally succeeded in giving birth to a boy for the Song family, and immediately named him Song Yu, Song Jiu disagreed, saying that there was an ancient man named Song Yu, Pan Lian insisted, there are too many people with the same name since ancient times, we either have different names, or have the same name as famous ministers. The two argued for a while, and Song Jiu retreated gorgeously.

In the Song family, everything seems to be reversed.

In fact, this name is a kind of concern for Yuping.

Passing on the New Year's money to each other, Tian smiled, and the two families were prosperous, and she also felt liked. Song Jiu loves her children very much, and this kind of scene is what she is happy to see. However, she didn't quite understand why the Liu family didn't look down on Song Jiu in the first place, or why Song Jiu passed the "Seven Thefts" so late.

Song Jiu asked, "Mother-in-law, when will your father-in-law come back?" ”

It's hard to say, if Zhao Kuangyin wants to keep them to suppress Jiangnan, maybe they will have to stay for a while, if they think that Jiangnan has no big problems, they can be recalled immediately. Tian is in the city and is well-informed, so ask for it.

"The old body heard that the emperor is about to issue an order to General Xuan Cao and your father-in-law to lead the army back to Beijing, but the old body is worried that the time in the capital will not be too long, and His Majesty asked us to go to Hanzhong again."

"It may not be necessary to go to Hanzhong, I'm afraid that I will attack Taiyuan next." Song Jiudao.

The newspaper said that after Cao Bin entered Jinling City, he issued an order to strictly prohibit violence, and there were many scholars and doctors who protected him, and sent military judges to search the army, but not a single soldier dared to hide his wife, so he did not search down. Then let Wenchen Xu Zhongxuan inspect according to his book, Cao Bin didn't ask, the attack was the general's business, and the governance was handed over to Wenchen, so although this line of expedition was slow, the middle was full of dangers, and more money was spent on silk grain and grass materials, but there was no sin, and it laid a solid foundation for the next governance.

This is what Di Bao said, Pan Mei also mentioned one thing at home, before Cao Bin left, Zhao Kuangyin promised to wait for Ke Li Yu to be the envoy. Think about the official worship of the prime minister, and the leader of the festival envoy, that is almost the pinnacle of the honor of the general.

After entering Jinling City and capturing Li Yu, Pan Meihe. Cao Bin said: "Otherwise, this trip can be achieved by relying on the power of heaven and obeying the temple, what merit do I have, and I will make the best job." ”

Pan Mei still didn't believe it, and Cao Bin said again: "Taiyuan is not flat." ”

Lao Cao is very broad-minded, but not necessarily, he exposed many shortcomings in this line, especially the battle of the Anhui River Estuary, dangerous and dangerous, if the south wind continues to blow, Zhu Lingyun successfully broke through the Anhui River Estuary, straight down the quarry, the battle situation is another kind of feeling. Zhao Kuangyi may use him, but Zhao Kuangyin, who is proficient in military affairs, will not continue to use him as the commander, the Northern Han Dynasty is weak, but there is a behemoth behind him! Therefore, Pan Mei can only be used next, or Zhao Kuangyin will be recruited again.

"Do you want to fight?"

"The Northern Han Dynasty has not recovered, how can it be said that there is a great unification?"

"If that's the case, wouldn't there still be Yanyun and Tubo......"

"Mother-in-law. Yanyun is enough, Tubo is too far away. And there is no harm. You don't have to worry about this, the Emperor of Liberty considers it. ”

They are talking. Pan Li'er was handing out fruits, Pan Weizheng came to grab it, Pan Li'er knocked his head: "You are an adult, you are about to get married, and it is delicious." ”

Looking at this family of the Harmony Association, Tian smiled happily again.

Song Jiu said, "Mother-in-law, I still have to go to the palace. ”

"To the palace?"

"Dedication to copper smelting techniques," Song Jiu said. Last winter, there was good news from the south, and sucrose can be actually promoted. And the envoy brought back hundreds of catties of sugar, which was not sold, but was given away. This does not mean that the technique is mature, there may still be some shortcomings, but it cannot be found in the test laboratory, so it will take about two years to carry out small-scale production first, and then find problems and make adjustments, and then the technique can basically mature. At that time, not only can sucrose be added on a large scale, but also many associated technologies will be produced, including improving the manufacturing method of sulfuric acid, including a series of crystallization precipitation and other related technologies. Eventually, this series of techniques came together. The whole industry will be completely detransformed.

If it changes in agriculture, the taste is almost the same, and the seeds are selected. Cultivated in small fields and extended to large fields.

However, the copper smelting technique is still inferior. To be precise, it is still a little early to carry out small-scale real estate now, and this can only be known to Song Jiuyi. I don't know what the reason is, Zhao Kuangyi told himself that it is best to rush to the Southern Tang Dynasty to hand over the copper smelting technique and hand over the copper smelting technique.

Zhao Kuangyi has this heart, Song Jiu also wants it to succeed as soon as possible, it is best to even succeed in the research of textile machinery, but it is not something that can be achieved if you want to, the good news is coming, and Li Yu will be brought to the capital soon, and Song Jiu has to hand it in advance.

It's not a big problem, let's put it into production on a small scale first, and more problems will be found, and the country will waste a lot of money, but except for Song Jiu, who knows Lu Dao?

Song Jiu also wanted to have a private deal with Zhao Kuangyin.

Then there is the wall clock, now the name has been changed, Kai Baoyi, nondescript name, Kai Baoyi also has a lot of problems, but it can be sold as a commodity, anyway, good and bad, no one knows the way, invested a lot of money, also trained some craftsmen, and created many parts, Song Jiu obeyed Zhao Kuangyi's orders, has not assembled and sold, and others are also not clear, so the parts built in the early days were destroyed, destroyed, ruined. Although the skills have been further improved, and the craftsmen have gradually become proficient, this waste is too great, and it is time to sell.

Therefore, Song Jiu planned to hand over this technique first.

Tian didn't understand much, and said, "That's fine, it's a serious matter." ”

She doesn't understand the big truth, but she still understands the basics, the country is short of money, so much so that it is ordered that copper coins cannot cross the river, in the past, it was only the Southern Han Dynasty and Hunan, and now the Southern Tang Dynasty has taken it back, can it still make the copper money not pass the river?

She suddenly remembered and said, "Your Majesty promised you a duke. ”

"Mother-in-law, it doesn't matter if the Duke of the Kingdom is in charge, as long as you do things with peace of mind, you are still worried that there is no official lord, your Majesty once wanted me to serve as the deputy envoy of the Third Division and the secretary of the provincial young eunuch, but I refused. Do you want to be an official, in my thoughts, why rush to be a national prince? The tree is a big wind. ”

"You kid, it's okay, be a low-key person, save others from blushing, go ahead."

Song Jiu rode to the palace.

Zhilu said that he came to offer a treasure, and Zhao Kuangyin immediately ordered the eunuch to take him to the palace, and looked at Song Jiudao with a groan: "Where did you get it?" ”

Do you still need Song Jiuyu's report, his eyes are also staring at the test.

"It's almost, but Wei Chenlai also said another thing, the tariff and trade protection policy."

New term, Zhao Kuangyin was at a loss.

Song Jiu explained: "Customs trade is also trade between countries, since ancient times, this has been relatively neglected, because Weichen presided over some affairs of the city, and later seriously thought about these trades and found an interesting thing. ”

"Tell me about it."

"For example, imports, that is, goods coming in from outside, Weichen made an analogy, let's say spices, spices to my dynasty, one made a condiment for delicious dishes, the other is incense or lavender, and the lavender utensils are used. The first profit in the middle is the tariff of the city, and the second is the merchant. No more. ”

"What's wrong with that?"

"Yes, Weichen will talk about the production again, make an analogy, porcelain, the last income is the tariff of the city, and there is also income at sea, but that is all the business of the maritime merchants, mostly for the big food of the South China Sea, I don't have many maritime merchants now, if there is, my family is the largest."

Zhao Kuangyin smiled, he may not care much about other people's business, but the larger the scale of Song Jiu's business, the better, and that is fed back to the country.

"Wechen only said that the income from the land, followed by the income of the merchants of the two cities, and then the income of the porcelain workshop, in which the imperial court will levy commercial tax, but the difference with imports is that there is already one more porcelain workshop tax. This was the beginning, and with the huge scale of exports, every piece of porcelain sold by the porcelain workshop, some money would flow into the pockets of the workshop owners, and some would also flow into the pockets of servants. The more you sell, the more servants you will feed. But porcelain is not made out of thin air, it needs porcelain clay, it needs charcoal, and all kinds of things, and with it many industries become larger, and there will be countless people to feed them. The national commercial tax will also be levied more and more in disguise. These people have a better life, they can buy more goods, and the whole country is in a state of virtuous circle. Song Jiu tried to express it in the simplest language.

"The second is money, whether gold and silver are quasi-currency, or copper coins are currency, once imported on a large scale, these coins are circulated to the outside world, and our civilization and economy are developed, just like water flowing to a low place, relatively few foreign coins, if not controlled, the number of imports will be much greater than the number of exports, and our dynasty will not profit much, and the coins will be nervous. But exports are different, and coins are circulated to our country. Unless I run out of coins, that's impossible. ”

"Song Jiu, what do you want to say?"

"The state controls, when the two cities levy tariffs, there is no tax on export goods, and exports are encouraged to be stimulated, and only import tariffs are levied, at least this can barely make the number of imports and exports equal. This is called a trade protectionist policy. ”

Zhao Kuangyin hesitated, if that happens, the country will lose hundreds of thousands of tariffs a year.

"Your Majesty, in fact, if you are willing to give some small incentives for every export of goods, then if you carefully count them in the near future, you will find that the commercial tax is not reduced, but on the contrary, it is increased. Of course, this must be standardized. The collection of commercial taxes in the state is seriously uneven, and the richer and more powerful commercial taxes cannot be collected, on the contrary, only small and medium-sized businessmen can be taxed, which will gradually become a disadvantage. After Song Jiu finished the first article, he didn't say anything more, it depends on how Zhao Kuangyin looks at it, and he explained it clearly enough, so he got down to business. He doesn't care about Guogong's anything, but Zhao Kuangyin, who cares, may not be able to agree. (To be continued......)
