Chapter 85: The Cause of Han Qiang (Part II)

"I don't know what the officials ordered me to come in." The shopkeeper asked with a professional smile on his round face. Although I don't know why these officials have to let themselves in, these officials are all officials, so naturally they can't be lazy.

"Rest assured, we're not here to meddle in your business. But I'm waiting to know where you got this fish from. Can the people who sell fish raise fish in the fields? Li Tingzhi bluntly asked the question.

Hearing that he was asking this, the shopkeeper felt that there was no need to lie to the officials. More importantly, he felt that these officials really had no intention of stealing business. So the shopkeeper replied, "Go back to the official." The small shop is along the boundary from Lin'an to Gusu where land reform has been carried out. Communes were established in those places, and the local retired officers and soldiers became petty officials, and the students of agriculture, run by Zhao Taiwei's eldest brother, Zhao Daguanren, raised fish fry and duck babies together and sold them to the people at low prices, and the people raised ...... in the fields."

As long as you have seen China on the tip of your tongue, you will know that rice field interculture. Rice field interculture has appeared in the Song Dynasty, and the key is that fish fry and duck babies are too expensive. After the agricultural school solved this problem by using the talent of the foodie empire, the working people of course quickly followed. Fish eat bugs and plankton from rice paddies, and ducks eat other bugs and weeds. Their manure increases the nutrients of the paddy fields, and their activities allow the nutrients to flow in the paddy fields. After the rice was reconstituted, it was generally overharvested.

Officials don't know much about technology, they're just interested in changes in the countryside. When the shopkeeper spoke, the official gave the shopkeeper a seat and poured him a cup of tea to moisten his throat. After thanking the shopkeeper, he continued: "Please rest assured, I have seen all the fish in these fields. I heated an iron pot with firewood and grass, and the dried fish made on top of it were all good fish. ”

"The fish was good. But why didn't those people keep it for themselves? Xiong Shang asked.

The shopkeeper hurriedly replied, "Where are they willing to eat?" Zhao Taiwei built a supply and marketing cooperative in the township, and in addition to collecting grain, he also sold things to the villagers. Cloth, vegetable oil, iron pots, sickles, hoes, shovels and other farm tools. All kinds of goods were not available in the countryside before. In order to be able to buy these things, they really want to sell themselves. In addition, Zhao Taiwei also began to promote a kind of animal called capybara in the countryside, which is said to have been transported back from Fusang Island thousands of miles away. I'll probably have it next year. ”

The Great Song Jinshi all have grassroots work experience, and after listening to what the shopkeeper said, he knew that the shopkeeper probably didn't tell nonsense. I asked about something else, and the shopkeeper himself went to the countryside just to collect fish, but he didn't know very well. Waiting for the shopkeeper to go out, Xiong Sheng sneered: "It's probably the same as Jia Rudao who just did the public land reform, blowing flowers and cooking oil with brocade fire." But there must be something in there. ”

And so it should be. Only Liu Jingwen didn't want to believe such an official in his heart, and seeing that the officials wanted to say but didn't say it, he knew that they didn't want to speak as an outsider, so Liu Jingwen got up and said goodbye. The officials didn't keep him, and Liu Jingwen went out of the restaurant. Walking on the road, Liu Jingwen really sighed in his heart that the world is impermanent.

After Zhao Taiwei returned to Jiangnan, he used all kinds of things to buy and pay money in the market. Before the surrender of Lin'an, it was already a big depreciation, and after the recovery, when I saw someone collecting and handing over the banknotes, everyone went crazy and cleared the money in their hands. By the time the imperial court began to exchange the 19th Huizi, there were not many banknotes among the people.

At this time, Liu Jingwen's wife took out 800 yuan to pay the money of the 18th Congress, which was originally Jia Rudao engaged in public land reform and forcibly exchanged these for the land of the Liu family. When the banknotes plummeted, the 800 bills were worthless, so they were put in the box and forgotten. Liu Jingwen's son went to serve as a soldier, and Liu Jingwen's wife rummaged through the cabinets and wanted to prepare more things for her son, but she didn't expect to check them out. The Liu family happily exchanged the old banknotes for the nineteenth Huizi, seeing that the price of the Huizi was stable, and the people who had always paid the banknotes could be exchanged for more than 500 copper coins. Liu Jingwen's perception of Zhao Taiwei's ability to govern has changed greatly.

Xiong Shang slammed Zhao's administration, believing that it was nothing more than a whitewash of the peace. Liu Jingwen also has grassroots experience, and he knows that if he wants to whitewash the peace like this, he has to take out a lot of real money and smash it into it. The banknote has fallen to less than 20 copper coins, and where does Taiwei Zhao have so much money to raise the banknotes to more than 500 yuan. Not to mention that the price of paying money when buying grain can almost reach the face price of 770 wen. Liu Jingwen will not be full of cheap money to pay money.

When he returned home, Liu Jingwen first checked his children's homework, and he also took his textbooks and read with his children around the oil lamp. The children are about to take exams, and revision is important, and Liu Jingwen follows. After reading the planned homework, the family went to sleep.

On the second day, it was the 10th day of December, and the examination of the school began. Liu Jingwen's children had already studied books, and after attending the preparatory class, both of them went to school in the third grade. After three days of exams, the results were completed and the results were released on December 15. On December 17, the school is closed for a month, and the next semester will be reported until the 15th of the first month. The children's grades in all subjects are all eighty or ninety, and they are at the top of their class. This made Liu Jingwen very satisfied.

Because the Great Song Dynasty signed a three-year peace agreement with Mongolia, the first month of the fourth year of the republic finally stopped prohibiting mass entertainment. The entire Lin'an City is lively because of the upcoming New Year's Day. Liu Jingwen was preparing to purchase New Year's goods, but he didn't expect Xiong Shang to come to the door. Xiong Sheng was an official in the household department, and he had only met Liu Jingwen once or twice. I met again at the restaurant a few days ago, and Liu Jingwen didn't expect him to come to see him at all.

After the two met, Xiong Sheng also brought four bottles of rum, which made Liu Jingwen feel that it was worthwhile. He smiled: "I don't know what Brother Xiong wants me to do when he gives such a gift." ”

"Brother Liu. I would like to ask you what the two Han materials you gave to Zhao Taiwei are. Xiong Shang single-handedly made it clear what he meant.

Liu Jingwen's face sank immediately. Xiong Sheng looked at it and hurriedly said, "Brother Liu, I definitely have no intention of competing with you. Now Brother Liu relies on this to eat in the Museum of Culture and History, brother, I know very well. ”

Seeing that Xiong Sheng still knew the rules, Liu Jingwen's face was slightly better. Xiong Sheng continued: "Don't hide it from Brother Liu, I ate at the restaurant last time. I asked my relatives near Lin'an, but I didn't expect the situation to be the same as the shopkeeper said. The people have things in their hands that they can buy and sell, and my relatives said that he has used more money in the past year or so than he has used in the past ten years. In this case, brother, I would like to ask Brother Liu what is going on with the historical materials of the two Han Dynasty read by Taiwei Zhao. ”

The jinshi have their own expertise, and Liu Jingwen is also a jinshi who has a dream of storytelling in the Chongzheng Palace, so he naturally refuses to simply show off some of his skills. Thinking about it again, he thinks it's not a bad thing to have a good relationship with Xiong Xiang. After a simple choice, Liu Jingwen said: "I don't know if Brother Xiong has read the history textbook of the science school. ”

"Nope." Xiong Shang replied very simply. Liu Jingwen took out his children's textbooks and showed them to Xiong Xiang. The textbook used by Zhao Jiaren was dedicated to the economic system of the Han Dynasty, and Xiong Sheng fell silent after reading it.

"It's not a mouthful, at least it's pointing out a direction?" Liu Jingwen said with a smile. As an expert in Han and Han literature, he couldn't help but praise the case after reading it.

"This ...... not explained thoroughly." Xiong Shang still found fault with the textbook.

"Textbooks for children are just to let them know that there is such a thing. If you really want to study, you can find a special book to read. Liu Jingwen replied simply.

Although Xiong Sheng had a lot of thoughts about this, he also knew that this was not the time to talk about this, so he continued to ask the two Han questions. In the Western Han Dynasty, the state first implemented Huang Lao, and the Western Han Dynasty's 'cool officials' were rampant, and they ruthlessly attacked the local heroes.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, gate valves and granges arose, and the state was still able to make unified arrangements for fisheries, forestry and other matters. Even if the agricultural system collapses and the various forces divide up what the central government has, they can still afford to fight. The Han Dynasty died strongly, but it was built on a material foundation.

Han history experts simply describe the enormous power of the central government of the two Han Dynasty and the huge industries they operated. Xiong Sheng gave birth to admiration in his heart. It is no wonder that the land of the Han Dynasty can suddenly rise together, as if all officials are scheming careerists. It turned out that it was the food and finances of the Han Dynasty that collapsed, and the equipment and resources such as Hyogo and forests were not collapsed, and this scale was enough to arm hundreds of thousands of troops, but instead became a force to make the war burn.

After getting these things that Zhao Jiaren paid attention to, Xiong Sheng said goodbye. He was also born as a Jinshi and knew the measure of this kind of inquiry. If he continues to ask, it will only arouse Liu Jingwen's dissatisfaction. And he also felt that he had an idea, judging by all indications, Taiwei Zhao was not ready to let the peace continue. As stipulated in the recently signed Bianliang Peace Agreement, the duration of this peace agreement is three years.

Walking on the street, Xiong Shang only felt that there were many thoughts in his heart. Three years will allow Zhao Taiwei to calmly recover the various areas south of the Yangtze River, rebuild local administration, and prepare for future wars. From this point of view, this is not a peace negotiation at all, it is just a truce. So what kind of choice does Xiong Shang have to make?

Liu Jingwen, who sent away Xiong Shang, didn't have so many ideas. Xiong Shang still has a future career, and Liu Jingwen's career has come to an end. He can only put all his expectations on the child. According to the school system, his two children had to go to school for another nine years before they could sit for the exams. At that time, her daughter Liu Haofeng was twenty-four years old, and her second son Liu Mo was twenty-two years old. Liu Jingwen was admitted to the Jinshi at the age of 30, and if his two children could be admitted at one time, they would still be standard young Jinshi.

It's just nine years, and Liu Jingwen doesn't think that the Liu family will completely fall because of his wrong choice. As long as the imperial court gives a chance, there is still hope for the family!
