"Yi'an, you're worrying about it." Lu Duosun laughed.

Song Jiu did not regard Lu Duosun as a close friend, and Lu Duosun would not treat Song Jiu as a close friend. Song Jiu may have a bright future, but he has little ambition, so the two are not friends or enemies. However, Song Jiu's reminder that Lu Duosun is still inappropriate.

As if in order to prove that Song Jiu was unfounded, under Lu Duoxun's bewitchment, Zhao Kuangyi attacked Zhao Pu again, but not Zhao Pu himself, but his in-law Li Chongju.

First of all, Li Chongju was transferred to Guangnan and appointed as the inspection envoy of Yongguixun, Hengqin, and Dou Prefectures.

The so-called metropolitan inspection envoy is the chief defense officer of the border patrol, not a petty official, but for Li Chongju, it is a super demotion, and it is in Lingnan.

Li Chongju had just left, and the imperial court was demoted again and transferred to Qiongyadan, that is, Hainan Island.

Song Jiu did not stop and did not participate.

He was thinking about something.

First of all, Gao Baoyin suggested that the imperial court should reduce the power of the envoys of each section to lead the county, but that was against Zhao Pu and could not be taken seriously. Then, Xuchang, the governor of Yuzhou, complained to the imperial court that Baoping Jiedu made Du Xianjin handle government affairs indiscriminately.

After Li Han returned, he reported that it was the envoys of each section to govern the prefectures and counties, and they all sent their cronies to take charge of taxation, which had a great impact on local commerce, resulting in the unimpeded flow of goods from all over the country, and hoped that the imperial court would cancel the right of the jiedu envoys to govern the prefectures and counties.

Zhao Kuangyi agreed.

This is the real cup of wine to release the military power.

Zhao Kuangyin cut the festival envoys twice in total, the first time was Shi Shouxin and Gao Huaide. The second time was Guo Congyi, Wang Yanchao and other five people. There are also people who die of old age, illness, or other reasons. Such as Fu Yanqing, Han Lingkun them.

But that's not the real meaning of a glass of wine to release military power.

Twice released more than a dozen festival envoys, as well as Fu Yanqing, Han Lingkun and their sickness and death made mistakes to take the festival envoys, it seems that the number has decreased, but in fact it has not decreased much, because the imperial court also allocated new festival envoys, Shi Shouxin and Wang Xianqi and others, and later re-granted the position of festival envoys. and the new knots produced by the expansion of the territory.

Its real meaning is the release of military power!

Compared with the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court had the right to appoint and recall the transfer of the Jiedu envoys, reducing the number of prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of each Jiedu envoy, and setting up county governors in the prefectures and counties under their jurisdiction, and recovering some administrative and financial powers from the hands of the Jiedu envoys. This is Zhao Da's style of releasing military power with a glass of wine.

After Zhao Kuangyi came to power, he took down Zhao Pu and Xiang Gong and others, but this time the release of military power generally followed Zhao Kuangyin's practice.

This time, however, it was different. In the past, although the governorate was established, the envoys of each section still had some rights to deal with the affairs of the states, and also had the right to collect taxes, once all of them were recovered from the imperial court. If you have power in your hands or not, if you want money or not, how can you lead thousands of soldiers under your subordinates?

Once executed. The festival degree will become a real existence in name only, and it will completely become a fictitious position like the three public and three divisions. Although Song Jiu had been prepared for this for a long time. But when I first heard it, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky.

It's no small incident. It even became one of the fundamentals that led to the weakness of the Song Dynasty.

However, Song Jiu didn't know how to dissuade him.

Song Jiu was pondering, and Li Fang came over to ask to see him.

"I've seen Song Gong."

"Mingyuan, don't be polite, what's the matter?"

Li Fang waved his hand and let his subordinates come in with many books and manuscripts.

While Zhao Kuangyi reduced his military power, he also further advocated civil governance. The first thing was to ask Li Fang and Hu Meng and other eighteen officials to take some scribes to revise the "Taiping Guangji" and "Taiping Yulan".

This is the later name, now not repaired, not named, the Taiping Yulan was originally called the Taiping General Category, divided into 55 parts, 4,558 categories, 1,000 volumes, the collection of various types of books as many as 1,700 copies, mainly the Imperial Tour, art and literature gathering, Wen Si Bo Yao.

It is equivalent to a slightly smaller version of the Yongle Canon, the four libraries of the whole book.

Taiping Guangji contains all kinds of novels, as well as miscellaneous books such as wild history, and even some pornographic novels.

The second thing is to repair the third hall, the original third hall is in the northeast of Changqing Gate, dozens of broken houses, the narrow and despicable, only shelter from the wind and rain, the road around the road, the guards are donkey, noisy beside it. Even when the bachelors of the three halls came to work, or wrote documents, they hid far away and did not dare to stay in the three halls. And with the recovery of Jiangnan, many books have also been collected, and the three halls are particularly crowded.

Therefore, Zhao Kuangyi issued an edict to build a new three halls in the northeast of Shenglongmen, the east corridor is the Zhao library, the west corridor is the history of the group of books, the south corridor is the Jixian library, divided into four subsets of the history of the scriptures, a total of six books, and personally designed, the wheel is magnificent, better than the palaces of the inner palace.

Song Jiu is in favor of this, the four ancient civilizations, the reason why China has become the only real ancient civilization in later generations is precisely because the civilization has not been interrupted, the reason why the civilization has not been interrupted, it is the transmission of civilization brought by these books.

Song Jiu only asked that after the completion of the three halls in the future, the quasi-academy would send students to copy all kinds of books and pictures that were not kept secret, so as to rule the world with literature.

In fact, Zhao Kuangyi, the unborn Eight Sages King Zhao Yuanyan, will burn down the three halls in the future, so that most of the books will be burned, Song Jiu barely remembers this matter, because of his push, he may not burn, and may burn.

After the academy transcribed, it is equivalent to preparing another backup book, and even the Bailudong and other academies in the future will copy it, then all these books will be retained. If you don't cherish it now, every book will be a treasure in a thousand years.

But you can't say it directly.

Song Jiu said it, and Zhao Kuangyi also agreed.

Li Fanglai came precisely for the names of the authors of many books in Taiping Guangji.

Taiping Guangji contains novels and miscellaneous records of various wild histories, including operas. Song Jiu didn't write any novels, but various stories could be passed out of his mouth, which were spread to the community, including Journey to the West, and after being written by a storyteller, it was further spread.

There are also all kinds of books compiled by the academy, as well as all kinds of long-edited dramas written by literati invited by Song Jiu, which have nothing to do with each other, but the author of the former is not clear, the signature is all kinds of storytellers, and the actual source of the story is Song Jiu.

Once cataloged, it must be clearly indicated, and it is also an honor.

And there are a lot of them, after being included by Li Fang. Up to more than a hundred volumes.

Song Jiu Ha was happy and said, "Mingyuan." Is the name important, or is the content important? ”

"But these contents are all thought by Song Gong."

"It doesn't matter. At that time, it was just to amuse the family, and then it was preached, I have seen it, the good and the bad are uneven, and it is their ability to write well, whether I can possess their name, and if they are not well written, the style is low, and I can't write my name on it. ”

"That's right."

"Mingyuan. Do this well, don't be afraid to spend money, I support, once it is done, it will be a big event in history. ”

"Don't dare, I am trusted by the emperor, and I feel a kin...... Song Gong, I still want to ask one more thing, Li Gongnan depreciates ......"

"Mingyuan." Song Jiu's face turned gloomy, and he said: "You are a gentleman, what is a gentleman, gentle and frugal." I won't be embarrassed, if my concubine is detained in the Khitan, I have the ability to save her back? ”

Song Jiu is not evil to Li Chongju. However, what Li Chongju did back then was not kind. Zhao Kuangyin set up the Privy Council and the three divisions, which was to cut off the power of the prime minister. Therefore, Chu Zhaofu was later appointed as the third envoy. Li Chongju is the privy envoy, and Zhao Pu is the Zhongshu Sect Pingzhangshi.

What Zhao Kuangyin hopes is that the three departments form a kind of tripod. With his balancing path, his throne will be at ease.

As Li Chongju, he doesn't necessarily have to have a conflict with Zhao Pu, but at that time, Zhao Pu suppressed Zhao Kuangyi, killed Yao Shu, and made Fu Yanqing die, almost becoming the second Li Linfu Cai Jing.

Li Chongju's fate was said to be Lu Duoxun's instigation, but it was more Zhao Kuangyi's revenge.

Once Zhao Kuangyi had no means to turn the situation around, because of Li Chongju's defection, Song Jiu, Lu Duoxun, and others, including Zhao Kuangyi, would be very sad.

Song Jiu doesn't have such a big belly, even if he has a big belly, he can't be convinced.

Li Fang was demoted because of Tao Gu's frame, and floated below for several years, when Tao Gu and others died, Zhao Pu pulled Li Fang up and served as a member of the Zhongshu House.

Song Jiu disregarded his face and asked the officials of the states and counties below for advice, which also made the world laugh.

Probably both of these events will be recorded in the history books.

But Song Jiu wouldn't think like this, Li Fang was different from himself, he didn't pretend to understand if he didn't understand, and he only asked for advice when he didn't understand something, and only then did he ask. But Li Fangna is not ignorant of etiquette, but flattery. Including when Lu Duosun attacked Zhao Pu, Zhao Kuangyin asked Li Fang, and Li Fang replied that the minister's secretary was edicted, and what the minister did was not known to the minister.

Song Jiu looked at Li Fang and couldn't help but think thoughtfully.

However, the next thing happened that made him more reflective.

Being an official in the Song Dynasty made Song Jiu have a headache, especially in winter, because he didn't dare to miss the early dynasty, at the beginning of the fourth watch, he had to get up and dress up, which was very troublesome. But in addition to this, it was still very comfortable to be an official in the Song Dynasty.

Increasing salaries one after another, Song Jiu's annual salary subsidies at this time reached more than 3,000, and if he added constant rewards, it would be more. That is, there is no need for additional estate, and the benefits of the imperial court alone are enough for the family to live a comfortable life. At the same time, there is also a benefit, many holidays. Coupled with job rotation, more than one-third of the year is spent on holidays.

Song Jiu didn't do Jiao Yulu either, and he also traveled with his family during the holidays, or occasionally went to the trial laboratory of the academy to participate in research and development while guiding, or stayed at home to enjoy Qingfu.

On this day, Song Jiu was sitting at home, and Fu Zhaoshou came to visit him with a black girl and a white girl.

It is also a product driven by Song Jiu.

Initially, Zhu Yanei, driven by Song Jiu, let the sea ships go to Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom. But at that time, the ships of the Song and Pan families had already let go of the South China Sea Islands and went west to Dashi.

Then the Fu family, the Han family, the Gao family, the Shi family and other Yanei, who were friendly with Song Jiu, also let the family's ships go south to the South Seas or west to eat.

In addition to making profits, Song Jiu also had some other practices, allowing the housekeeper to bring some curious scholars from the West, and various books on religion, science, philosophy, and even a few really learned scholars, let them settle in the capital, bring them to the academy, let the Eastern and Western civilizations have exchanges, and let them translate various books together with the Han people. Also bring some artisans, as well as advanced crafts, or some crop seeds.

There are not many of them, and Song Jiu's intention is mainly to broaden the horizons of the Central Plains people, so that they will not rest on their laurels.

But unlike the other yagnai, they are absolutely profit-oriented, including all kinds of luxury goods.

However, the prices of these luxury goods are not very well positioned.

So under the initiative of Song Jiu, an auction house was built in Henan, which was not established for a long time, but many people immediately saw its benefits, and some people even had financial tensions in their hands, and handed over their family property and homestead to the auction house for auction in order to make more money.

Now the scale is very large, and it alone brings more than 100,000 yuan of income to Hezhou a year.

At the same time, after the Meishan incident, Song Jiu implemented a small measure.

The grass market in the intermarket with the western or southern border areas, or the border areas between the barbarians and the Han people, took out part of the money to build some small study houses, not only recruiting Han Chinese, but also recruiting barbarian students to study in them.

The scale is small, the facilities are simple, the students only learn chalk and blackboards, and the content of learning is only a thousand-character essay and the Analects, as well as the primary school mathematics textbooks used in the academy, and nature lessons.

But Song Jiu didn't expect them to produce many talents, or how many beautiful brush characters they could write, and its role was to open up the wisdom of the people and facilitate the sinicization of the imperial court. When there is a family, the contradictions will naturally be reduced. Especially the children of the barbarians, they brought back civilization, they are not poor and hard, why should they be thieves?

He also instructed some nimble people to make a bag inquiry, let them go into the mountains, inquire about the terrain, products, and folk customs of each barbarian area, and then let the gentlemen of these schools write it, and again compile this information into a book, and sell it to the merchants who entered the mountains, as a benefit for the gentleman and the bag to inquire. At the same time, with this intelligence, businessmen can operate more targeted, get more profits, and trade more safely. The benefits brought by the intelligence are also beneficial to Mr., so that more readers are willing to teach students here.

But it also had a more subtle purpose, once it could be successfully promoted, not only could it use commerce to expand communication and civilize the barbarians, but from then on, the imperial court knew all about the various ministries in the deep mountains and old forests.

It seems that both things are gadgets, but the role behind them cannot be underestimated.

But they also have some unintended consequences, such as slavery. Song Jiu saw the shortage of labor, and secretly encouraged the various government offices to sell slaves to come over to work as miners. With the expansion of the scale of navigation, some Yanai brought some slaves and maids from the west, and there were many black slaves and few white slaves. However, people are mostly curious, and they do not have the correct aesthetics, and most of the foreign slaves brought back make Song Jiu unable to see them.

However, many people rejoiced, and some high-ranking officials and wealthy people also bought a foreign slave or two at the auction house to show off.

Song Jiu had no objection to this, and the treatment of slaves and maids in the Song Dynasty was not very bad.

Fu Zhaoshou was similar to the others, and the two foreign slaves he bought back were all large Yanmars, and they were about to catch up with Song Jiu. Song Jiu glanced at it, didn't look at it again, and said, "Erlang, what are you doing when you come to the door?" ”

"Jiulang, where do I dare to be noble in front of you." Fu Zhaoshou took a sip of tea and frowned.

"Erlang, you and I have been friends for many years, if you are not an outsider, let's talk about it directly."

"Jiulang, before my nephew Zongxun came to Xu, he entrusted my second sister to give my grandson Chai Yongqi a family matter."

"Oh, whose daughter is it?" Song Jiu asked strangely, Chai Yongqi was renamed Zheng Guogong, but he was still young now, and he was in Luoyang. However, Chai Zongxun has been dead for several years, even if he is afraid of Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyi has been on the throne for more than half a year.

Fu Zhaoshou said in embarrassment: "She is your daughter Wan Niang." ”

Song Jiu was so shocked that he almost let go of the teacup and fell to the ground. (To be continued......)
