Chapter 241: Jin Gui

Zhao Kuangyin asked him to sit down, and first asked, "Song Jiu, I heard that your family has 100,000 daughters and 30,000 servants?" ”

Song Jiu was a little sweaty, and said: "Your Majesty, the sky and the earth are big, and human life is the second greatest, so it is said that human life is a matter of heaven and cannot be measured by price." ”

"Don't say this," Zhao Kuangyin didn't want to talk about it, this kid was too soft-hearted, even if he went to the battlefield once, his temperament had not become decisive, what kind of servant's life was worth 30,000 yuan! He asked, "What are you here for today?" ”

"Your Majesty, Wechen asked Your Majesty to let Wechen choose fifteen river valley wastelands and try to determine herding and raising."

Zhao Kuangyin already knew that the money was insufficient, and if it dragged to today, it was about to pay dividends, not a lack of money, and the economy in his hands was abundant, so he finally started. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Why are there only fifteen?" ”

Wechen also knows that the number of roads is too small, but what Wechen does is a demonstration, so he can't choose a place with abundant water and grass and developed transportation, let alone occupy fertile land. Therefore, each place should open up roads, and then renovate, and then set up some water conservancy and farming equipment, and in order to play an effective role and facilitate management, at least a few hundred or thousands of large livestock, thousands or even tens of thousands of poultry should be grazing. This is almost the maximum capacity of the private sector to raise the number. If we talk about plagues, so many are the most likely to give birth to all kinds of plagues, and if there are problems, it will also have the most problems. Then as long as it is successful, it can basically be promoted. Otherwise, you can't see the problem, and the trial cultivation will not work. That would be expensive in every place. ”

"This is also ah," Zhao Kuangyin finally realized, this is the same as that cement, smashed with money, smashed out of various experiences.

"In another four or five years, basically this place can be opened, and the imperial court will give them one by one to the big families in various states to operate. Wechen will have more money at that time, and he can operate thirty places. After four or five years, more than 40 more will be operated. This can be spread almost all over the country. It's not just about shepherding and feeding. There are a lot involved, including the cultivation of various types of pastures. As well as fruit trees and economic timber, as well as all kinds of fruits and vegetables, all kinds of grains, and even fish farming, water aquaculture. The situation is different in different places, as long as these 60 places are operated, the experience is groped out, and then compiled, it is the best agricultural book in our dynasty. The second is to improve the lives of the people. Especially cattle. This is a fixed pasture, as long as the quantity is checked, it can be slaughtered, and it can be used to impact the price of beef. And with more livestock, beef prices will fall further. The imperial court then used some means to raise the price of cattle a little, exempting all cattle, horses, donkeys and mules from taxation, and after a few decades, the country's cattle will no longer be nervous. His Majesty listened to Weichen's suggestion and imported meat from Zhubu. Even if some means are used to import marine fish on a large scale, then the problem of cattle will be further slowed down. It's a little slower, but it's not slow. As long as they succeed. There will be people who will imitate it one after another. The most important thing is to let the people learn by themselves, and not let the government come forward, and not worry about the people. Don't worry about the people. The rule of Wenjing is mainly not the rule of inaction. ”

"I'm right. As long as the surroundings are not intertwined with the people, the real barren mountains and valleys. Let you choose! ”

"Your Majesty."

"Don't thank you, you're not for yourself, but for the country." Zhao Kuangyin said. In fact, Song Jiu smashed it with money, and then the imperial court benefited from it, and even the auction money went to the imperial court. What to thank. After a pause, he said, "Song Jiu, what do you think of the Southern Han?" ”

"Yoro, and it's the dark and brutal Yoro Country!"

"Can I defeat the Southern Hanhu?"

"Your Majesty, this matter should be asked to Zhao Xianggong, Li Xianggong, how to ask Weichen?"

"I have relatives in my heart, I have invaded the country twice, and there are many disputes, and I am afraid that there will be another mistake. In this Southern Expedition, I want you to supervise with the army, you are Pan Mei's grandson, and Pan Mei is your father. By your persuasion, Pan Mei will not resist. ”

"Ah, let Weichen go?"

"Are you afraid of suffering?"

"It's not that I'm afraid of hardship, General Pan has done a good job in Hunan, and Weichen can't work, besides, Weichen has so many affairs."

"Pan Mei is a martial artist after all, if there is no Li Chao, where is Binzhou City?"

Song Jiu was dumbfounded, it turned out that Zhao Kuangyin knew about this matter. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Then when will the imperial court go south to attack the Southern Han?" ”

It seems that the speed of the Southern Expedition this time is fast, and Quan Dang went to Taiyuan City again, anyway, if he doesn't go down every once in a while, Zhao Kuangyin is uncomfortable, so it's better to be happy.

"When do you think it's going to happen?"

"If you cut down next year, the economy will ......be a little tight this year," Song Jiu said. In the past, he didn't know that Zhao Kuangyin had three era names: Jianlong, Qiande and Kaibao, why he only said that it was the prosperous era of Jianlong. It was only after arriving at the third division that I slowly realized it.

At the time of Jianlong, there were wars in the country, and the scale was still very large. The two counterinsurgency campaigns were no less than the Battle of Taiyuan. However, the state paid attention to recuperation and recuperation, and made a quick recovery. In recent years, the state's financial revenue has increased rapidly, and it will also increase, but various expenditures have gradually eroded, for example, there will be no cattle rent when Chai Rong, and the cattle will be handed over to the people together, and the court cannot ask for this money. After Qiande, he gradually picked it up. For example, commercial taxes are not standardized, and if you are not rich, you don't pay taxes, but as long as you are powerful, under the leadership of Zhao Pu, you never pay taxes.

All this has little to do with Zhao Kuangyin, in fact, Zhao Kuangyin issued many edicts that treat the people well and relax taxes. However, when it comes to the following differences, it is stuck in the middle book. The reason is very simple, the prime minister of Jianlong was Fan Qian, Wang Pu and Wei Renpu, and they still implemented Chai Rong's policy of governing the country. Subsequently, Zhao Pu was the prime minister, added and changed the regulations, and gradually became unrecognizable.

Maybe it's dark, but at this time, I can see some signs of redundancy in the Song Dynasty in the future.

Just like this year, after the first war in Taiyuan, the country's finances immediately became tight.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't know what Song Jiu was thinking, and he didn't know that Song Jiu's evaluation of him was slightly below Chai Rong, and he said: "It's not going to work this year, and I don't want to cut it down, so I have sent an envoy to inform Li Yu and ask Li Yu to persuade the lord of the Southern Han Dynasty on my behalf, as long as he surrenders to our court, I will not send a large army to come in person." ”

"Your Majesty, can Lord Tang convince him?"

"When the army comes out, it also needs to be righteous, so that it can be a righteous army."

Do you want to correct your name when you fight the Southern Han? Song Jiu stopped talking, and Zhao Kuangyin said again: "Ruo Hua, don't abuse the lord of the Southern Han Dynasty, I want him to come to the capital alive." ”

When he arrived in the capital, he didn't have to die sooner or later, so he had the courage to ask: "Your Majesty, can the minister kick him a few times in that matter?" ”

"That's the thing...... You have to kick it lightly, you can't kick it badly, it's very expensive, and the price is more than 60,000 yuan. ”

Song Jiu couldn't help but lower his head and laughed.

"Let's have dinner with me."

Accompanying Zhao Kuangyin to dinner may not be a happy thing, it can only be said that the meaning is important, which means that the emperor loves you. Song Jiu said: "Your Majesty Xie." ”

Taken to the apse, on the way Zhao Kuangyin suddenly asked, "How is Ding Deyu?" ”

"It's a good general...... Song Jiu said uncertainly, although he went down to Hunan, he mostly ran below, and had very little dealings with several high-ranking officials and generals, and he also used his friendship in Yizhou to deceive Wang Quanbin into making a bet. Zhao Kuangyin nodded and didn't say much.

Song Jiu answered casually, if he knew what was behind the scenes, he wouldn't dare to answer easily.

Wang Quanbin, Cao Bin and others led the army back, and Bashu had to leave soldiers to guard it to prevent accidents. Ding Deyu and Wang Ban and Zhang Yu led the troops in Xichuan. Ding Deyu has the merit of Pinghunan, Pingchenzhou, and Xichuan from Murong Yanzhao Li, especially the merit of making do with the Zhulu army. Therefore, he was arrogant and arrogant, so he had a discord with several deputy generals. Seeing a few people making noise, Zhang Yantong, the supervisor of the soldiers and horses, resolved it for Ding Deyu and Zhang Yu.

But he himself is a quick temper, he can't get used to some of Ding Deyu's behaviors, and he is very unhappy with Ding Deyu, how can he resolve it, but instead thinks that he is a friend of Zhang Yu. Zhao Kuangyin's soldiers came to the city of Taiyuan, and they also suffered some hardships, and the weather was hot, and he even braved the arrow stone to stand under the city to command. The envoy said this, "Your Majesty is good." In fact, if Song Jiu came to see it, Zhao Kuangyin was not suffering, but very happy, and he came out again, and he could fight again. He is the only one who thinks like this, so Zhang Yantong said, the Lord is so diligent, we are here to enjoy happiness every day, how can we be happy?

In fact, it's not a big deal, compared to Wang Quanbin, they can't even count as goose feathers.

The envoy brought Li Yantong's words to Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhao Kuangyin didn't expect that a few people in Xichuan would make a fuss, and several people went to Beijing to take up their posts, and Zhang Yu advanced to Beijing, and the reward was rich. Then Zhang Yantong and Ding Deyu entered Beijing and called Zhang Yantong again to ask, Zhang Yantong completely fell out with Ding Deyu at this time, so naturally he didn't say good things. So Zhao Kuangyin hated Ding Deyu.

Ding Deyu felt strange, I just enjoyed it materially, and I was also competent in Xichuan, why did the emperor treat me coldly, sent someone to inquire, heard the truth, and played for himself, and said that Zhang Yantong and Wang Ban formed a party.

This is terrible, especially since they have military power in their hands, have the right to govern, and are far away in Xichuan, Zhao Kuangyin was furious and sent Yu Shi to take Zhang Yu, Zhang Yantong and Wang Ban to prison for interrogation.

That's why Zhao Kuangyin asked.

Song Jiu said blankly that Ding Deyu was a good general, and Song Jiu was rarely sycophant, so he probably wouldn't be wrong. But Zhang Yantong and the three of them were not convinced, and they wanted to defend themselves in front of the emperor, Zhao Kuangyin asked, Zhang Yantong was not convinced, he had this temper, otherwise there would be nothing to do in Xichuan. The more you talk, the more urgent it becomes.

Zhao Kuangyin was furious and sent someone to drag him down and behead him on the spot!

Unjustly killed!

Yu, Ban and the ministers Wang Renji and the spine, Yu with the flow of Shamen Island, Ban Xu Zhou, Renji West kiln affairs.

Soon Ding Deyu played Xichuan to make Li Xuan drunk and said bad things about Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin summoned Yushi for interrogation, and Li Xuan said that Ding Deyu had repeatedly asked for things in Shu, but he refused, so he held a grudge and slandered him. And these have pleadings in hand, that is, those small invitations written by Ding Deyu, the imperial history reported with small requests, and Zhao Kuangyin stopped blaming Xuan for losing wine and was Doctor Zuo Zanshan. Ding Deyu was demoted to Zhiluzhou. But he didn't overturn the case for Zhang Yantong and the four of them, and he didn't even recall Zhang Yu and continued to stay on Shamen Island.

So Song Jiu is right to be careful, Zhao Kuangyin can barely say that he treats heroes well, but he is far inferior to Li Shimin and Liu Xiu, and can only be said to be a little better than Zhu Yuanzhang, Wu Zetian or Liu Bang. Of course, it is also a little better than the Qing Dynasty.

If you don't know each other, the butcher's knife will still fall at any time.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't have the heart to care about this matter, his eyes were on the five people: Wang Yanchao was made by Fengxiang Festival, Wu Xingde was made by Anzhou Festival, Guo Congyi was made by Protecting the Country, Bai Chongzan was made by Dingguo Festival, and Yang Tingzhang was made by Baoda Festival!
