"Your Highness, where am I ruthless? Besides, your family has long since withdrawn from Hebei, no matter how many losses there are in the ya, it has nothing to do with your family? ”

Song Jiu's statement is not right, how can it have nothing to do with the Wang family, at that time, Zhao Chengzong took Zhu Yanei to develop Hebei, Wang Chengyan is also a leading figure, Wang Chengyan has now become a concubine, from the deed shares, but the relatives of the Wang family, as well as some of his friends, and even several of his younger brothers, are still in Hebei. Most of them, like Wang Chengyan, were on both sides, but Hebei lay down, and they suffered equally heavy losses.

However, Princess Zhaoqing couldn't speak, so she was speechless.

However, Song Jiu felt the need to explain, and continued to stand where he said: "Your Highness, you were in the Deep Palace before, and there are some things that you don't know. ”

He started with the coal workshop.

The main reason is that commerce in this era is not as developed as in later generations, so it sounds like at least Song Jiu has always been well-intentioned from the beginning, including until he got married. So many things happened for Lu, not because Song Jiu didn't teach well, but because Zhao Chengzong and they only listened to half of it.

After Song Jiu told this old story, he asked: "Your Highness, this is a businessman, and he is investing in money, not power." What flowers and fruits are produced, and can a dog's tail bear apples on a flower? ”

Princess Zhaoqing is a speechless again.

"Your Highness, do you know how dangerous the Dao Hezhou industry was at that time? It was your father who erected a halberd in front of my door, and several craftsmen still dug to Hebei, and Zhao Puxianggong once suggested that I serve as Zhihezhou. ”

"What's wrong with that?"

"How did Yao Shu die? Once I knew Hezhou, the place where I was buried was not the Yellow River, but the Yangtze River. Do you understand this time? Zhao Pu treats me like this, what do you want me to do? I am loyal to the Great Song Dynasty. Your father, not Zhao Pu. Or do you want me to be loyal to Zhao Pu instead of your father? ”

Princess Zhaoqing was even more speechless.

"And you're all mistaken, is it better to Hezhou or Hebei?"

"River, of course."

"Your Highness, you are very wrong to think like this, where is the main road, in Hebei. With this main road, the Southern Tang Dynasty is about to recover, how can Hebei not be a good place? ”

"Ahh Not only Zhaoqing. Even a few other female guests were surprised, where has it almost become a ghost domain, or is it a good place?

"The best place for cultivated land in the country is Jiangdong Wei, but it is necessary to build embankments first, build ditches and ponds and roads in the polder, drain and cultivate, flood control and flood control, and intensive cultivation, which has become the cultivated land with the highest yield. However, after the embankment is fenced off, it is not asked. Even if you sprinkle thorny seeds into it, what will you reap? Even now, I still say that Hebei is the best area outside the East Water Gate, and its actual land price per mu is more than 50 yuan. But good place. You have to carry good flowers, your father and emperor focus on people's livelihood, and they are no longer like the previous dynasties. If you want to forcibly use your power to make profits, even if it is a good place. Even if it is near Xiangguo Temple, it is still the end of Hebei today. ”

Song Jiu in the back can not be said.

But so many shops just fell down. It is also a kind of property, and some people will feel sorry for it, so they say it.

The fact is that it is indeed a good place, it is rumored that there are eight chambers in the city from the Northern Song Dynasty to later, because it can not live, it gradually develops outside the city, and forms dozens of squares outside the city, that is, nine large residential areas are formed outside the city.

Without the Hezhou drive, the East Water Gate will be prosperous sooner or later, and now there is a Hezhou drive, can Hebei get up? But it will be a long time later, and I want to improve immediately, unless Song Jiu takes over. But Song Jiu didn't want to, even his deed shares were ready to be handed over to the imperial court in a few years, so why bother?

Mrs. Xu sighed and said, "Jiulang is my great Song genius, it's a pity." ”

Several women looked at her strangely.

Song Jiu also looked at her, she was still very beautiful, she could be regarded as a, and she was coquettish. But when she is older, she is older, and she will immediately run to the fourth, Song Jiu has not seen the little lady of the Song family after entering the palace, but I think that she is in her prime at this time, and the Xu family can no longer fight the little lady of the Song family.

Therefore, Xu jumped up and down during this time, but it was she who was very active, but it became a bad thing, the more powerful she jumped, the more suspicious Zhao Da was, she would think of another woman, Wu Zetian! If you have talent, you will guard against it. used to be bewitching, Zhao Kuangyin could tolerate it, but now it is gradually declining, I am afraid it may not be a good thing.

Xu Shi obviously didn't know, and continued: "Your Majesty has prepared to use Jiulang several times, but the second king said a word, where Jiulang passes, he likes to be selfish, and he doesn't care about the general situation, it is best to let Jiulang continue to stay for a few years, so as to make Jun have a calm personality and understand the general situation. Moreover, the country is short of money, so that His Majesty issued an edict to the world, and copper coins are not allowed to cross the river. Let's let Jiurou do the copper smelting well before he speaks. Because of the suggestion of the second king this time, His Majesty has been delaying the use of Jiulang. ”

"Second uncle, he won't, right?"

"Your Royal Highness, the second king will not be private because of the communiqué, and there is no conflict between Jiulang and the second king, this is the second king misunderstood Jiulang."

The more Xu described, the darker it became.

The more she said that Zhao Kuangyi would not, the more others would think like this.

Pan Li'er and Song Jiu glanced at each other, both feeling puzzled, the so-called contradiction and conflict cannot be taken seriously, behind the scenes, Zhao Kuangyi and Song Jiu not only did not contradict, on the contrary, there was a loose alliance. Song Jiu went up, which was beneficial to Zhao Kuangyi, why did Zhao Kuangyi prevent Zhao Kuangyin from appointing Song Jiu?

Several women left, and Pan Li'er asked Song Jiu in puzzlement: "Why did His Royal Highness the King of Jin stop him?" ”

"I don't know what to do," Song Jiu said.

Since Lingnan came back, the imperial court has not awarded Song Jiu officials, and he did, but he did not force Song Jiu to accept the official position as before, although Zhao Kuangyin said it twice, the official position was not bad, a deputy envoy of the third division, and a secretary of the provincial young eunuch, which was enough to match Song Jiu, but he said it reluctantly. At that time, Song Jiu knew that there was a ghost in the middleman of Lu Dao, but he never dreamed that it was Zhao Kuangyi. It's Zhao Kuangyi's ghost, so it's easy to understand. He is the emperor's younger brother, at this time Zhao Kuangyin wanted to erase Zhao Pu's mark, Zhao Kuangyi continued to pretend to be forced and weak, so Zhao Kuangyin was careless, very trusting, and crowned the king of Jin. If he doesn't agree, he will definitely not be an official.

But it's not what Xu thinks, and even Pan Li'er doesn't know the inside story of this.

Hearing that this person was Zhao Kuangyi made Song Jiu puzzled. But in this way, the Xu family poked out the inside story, and Song Jiu would not get together with her or Zhao Dezhao because of this.

It just made the husband and wife very confused.

But two days later, Zhao Kuangyi heard rumors and summoned Song Jiu to his palace. Song Jiu sat down, Zhao Kuangyi first said Hebei, he is Kaifeng Mansion Yin, six or seven miles outside the East Water Gate, a ghost street has been transformed into a life, although he wants to dissolve the deed shares, not to let Zhao Pu Dongshan rise again, he doesn't want this result, so the first sentence said: "Song Jiu, you said that Hebei is a good place?" ”

"The second king, Weichen said this. But Weichen will not intervene in it, when Hezhou was built, there were some disputes, Your Majesty, the two kings and Zhao Xianggong will not pay too much attention, because at that time the two rivers were very desolate, a little profit, will not be put in everyone's eyes. So these disputes are like children fighting, whether they win or lose, will parents intervene? Unless there is a human life, but no. Including Wechen is also thinking this way. Later, when he saw the profits, Weichen felt bad, so he diluted the proportion of deed shares again and again, originally I accounted for 40% of it, but once diluted it to a little more than 20%. However, it still doesn't work, the profit is too large. So Wechen made another promise, once the deed was full, Wechen would hand it over to the imperial court. Otherwise, if you don't use Hebei, Hezhou would have been chaotic a long time ago. Because its benefits are too thick, it is beyond the control of Wechen. If Weichen borrowed Hezhou's money and strength to measure his skills, it would not take three or four years for it to become as prosperous as Hezhou. However, Weichen's control was insufficient, and he didn't dare to do more. ”

"Then you have to think of a way, the seven-mile long street, the gloomy atmosphere, the army is about to fight, it is not beautiful after all, and some ministers have been impeached for it."

"They're not reconciled."

"Will you be willing?"

"Then there is a way, spring will come, plant willow trees all over the river embankment, improve the environment, and then knock down those broken thatched sheds together, three years later, the seven miles of willow embankment will be shady, Hebei will automatically come to life." There is no need for the imperial court to do anything, as long as officials are sent to monitor their shops and not to abuse the servants, so as not to have a worse reputation, and collect taxes in time. ”

"That Mrs. Xu had something to say to you."

"Yes."

"This demon girl wants to harm my Great Song."

Song Jiu disagreed with Zhao Kuangyi's statement. It is impossible to say that Xu and Zhao Dezhao have a leg, let alone want to be Wu Zetian, the age is here. Besides, Zhao Kuangyin is very healthy now, and she is less than fifty, so she has to wait until that year.

It is impossible to split the Song Dynasty, and even the Southern Tang Dynasty will fall immediately, what strength does the Xu family have to split the Song Dynasty and avenge Bashu?

What she did was exactly what Shangguan Wan'er did in the Tang Dynasty, just to have more right to speak, and from the beginning she got close to Zhao Dezhao, Zhao Dezhao is getting bigger and bigger, but Zhao Kuangyin didn't move, she got on this ship, thinking about it, can't you be in a hurry?

"Song Jiu, do you want to be an official?"

"The second king, I want to be an official, but I don't want to be an intrigue official, in that case, it's better to stay at home, reunite with the family, and do research easily, at least I can be worthy of me, a marquis." Song Jiu is telling the truth, there is a beautiful wife at home, this is not his heart, if he is careful, it is to accept the twins who are as beautiful as flowers, Pan Li'er and Yuping are not disagreeing. The Song Dynasty had monogamous officials, but many officials did not know how many wives and concubines they accepted, including Pan Mei, who also accepted concubines. Is it too much to take a three-room concubine by yourself? Satisfied, Pan Li'er is beautiful and has a good temper, and Yuping knows cold and hot, why is she not satisfied. Or the house, the car, the money, that is the same as the less. It's better to have an official who is not angry, and it's okay not to have one.

Zhao Kuangyi smiled bitterly: "You have this temper, but you have to believe me, I do this with my own motives." ”

God knows what his intentions are, and Song Jiu is not good to ask. (To be continued......)
