Chapter 58

Just as Lin Tian was secretly sighing, the footsteps of "Kick Kick ~~~" sounded, but this time it was a group of people who came.

Lin Tian already knew who they were, and instructed Xingzi to say, "You go and deal with them, I won't see them." ”

Picking up the stars and leading the way, who are those people you came from? Ha, they are all civil and military officials in Beijing! What are they here for? Ha, it's just a souvenir! ――Not to mention picking up the stars and leading people to the next room to gather all the way.

Let's say that Lin Tian couldn't help shaking his head and sighing in the room: With such a hundred officials, does the Great Song Yan have the reason to be immortal? He remembered that in the 21st century, many experts and scholars admired the Song Dynasty, saying that the Song Dynasty was "the most prosperous and prosperous dynasty with the most developed economy, the most prosperous national culture, the most scientific and technological innovation achievements, the healthiest population base growth, the highest crop yield per unit area, and the highest people's living standards" among the Chinese dynasties.

On the surface, this is really good, attaching importance to the economy has been throughout the Song Dynasty, Taizu Zhao Kuang said: "The multi-provident fund city is a field house to leave the children and grandchildren to enjoy the heavenly years", Taizong said: "Let the two systems discuss the art of politics and abundance", and today's Shenzong said: "give priority to financial management" and "make the first financial management of all political affairs urgent".

The imperial court of the Great Song Dynasty did not regard the emphasis on agriculture and the suppression of commerce as a national policy (but it has become a habit among the people), and 70 percent of the imperial court's fiscal revenue came from industrial and commercial taxes, and only 30 percent of the land was taxed. Why? Because the imperial court can't receive the land endowment at all, why? Land Annexation! The Song Dynasty did not implement a policy of curbing land annexation, and the big bureaucrats and big landlords enclosed land five or six times out of ten, and the north was the most serious.

In order to make industry and commerce absorb a large number of unemployed displaced people, the traditional national policy of valuing agriculture and suppressing commerce had to be abolished, which promoted the development of industry and commerce.

On the other hand, the big bureaucrats and big landlords annexed a large amount of land, but they used various means to conceal and leak it; according to records, the number of taxable acres in the Song Dynasty accounted for only three-tenths of the total number of acres of land, and those who did not pay taxes accounted for seven-tenths.

Lin Tian opened the window and looked out, there were many shops outside the window, the divine consciousness illuminated, the tourists were weaving, the sound of selling and singing came and went, people were enjoying the leisure, drinking tea, drinking, eating meat and playing chess, listening to operas, chatting...... What a real picture of the Qingming River! But who knows the crisis behind this "boom"? Oh, boom on the crater!

Some people say that there was no large-scale peasant uprising in the Song Dynasty, no, this is just an illusion, the Song Dynasty was not without large-scale peasant uprisings, but large-scale uprisings were invaded by foreign races before they were conceived......

Just when Lin Tian was thinking wildly, Xingzi had already entertained several "guests", and he came back excitedly, holding a burden in his arms, and latched the door when he entered the door.

Lin Tian smiled: "What's wrong? Like a thief? ”

Xingzi put the burden on the table, his face was full of excitement, patted the burden and said, "Master...... Guess how many! ”

Lin Tian feigned anger and said: "Sell less guanzi, how much?" ”

Picking up the stars, he smiled, opened the baggage, and said, "Incredible, incredible, one hundred and seventy-three thousand taels!! ”

"What ???" Lin Tian couldn't believe it, looking at the silver tickets on that table, people said that I have a million dollars in my pocket, and I can have a million dollars in my waist all of a sudden! He grabbed a handful of silver tickets, opened his mouth, and wanted to laugh, but he couldn't help it, just stared blankly, he was a poor man in his previous life and this life, and it was no wonder that he was ugly when he saw so much silver!

He took a deep breath, turned around, and said, "Pick the stars, go to ...... Go buy a wooden box and pack it up. ”

"Yes!" Xingzi immediately received the order, and when he arrived at the door, he was stopped again, "By the way, I will buy a carriage again...... To luxury carriages! ”

"Yes!" "Wait...... I'm going to buy some power suits, this ranger clothes, I'm very uncomfortable to wear...... "Yes! ”

……………………………………………………

After picking the stars and going out for a while, he heard the sound of stepping upstairs again, Lin Tian opened the door and looked out, and said to the visitor: "Haha~~~ Su everyone, welcome, welcome." ”

The person who came was Su Shi, and he bowed to Lin Tianxu and said: "Mr. Lin is polite, Su is disturbed, don't be surprised." Lin Tian waved his hand again and again, stepped forward and invited him to the next room, and said, "Su everyone, please!" He didn't dare to invite Su Shi to the room full of silver tickets.

Su Shi smiled strangely and followed Lin Tian into the next room. As soon as they entered the door and sat down, Lin Tian asked, "Why do you want to come in person?" ”

Su Shi took out a paper fan from his sleeve, handed it over and said, "I know that Mr. Lin is leaving, so I don't have anything ......to send off."

Lin Tianyi frowned, took the paper fan, and glanced at Su Shi, Su Shi nodded, slowly opened the paper fan, and frowned even deeper......

I saw a picture of "Zhumen Road Relics" painted on the fan, and the delicacies of a rich and noble family on the picture could not be eaten, so they had to let it rot and stink; The poor people of Li next to them were hungry and cold, and died tragically on the side of the road.

Su Shi is talented, in addition to poetry and writing, he is also very good at calligraphy and painting, especially paying attention to "god-like" and "expressive".

"'Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road'?" Lin Tian closed the paper fan, closed his eyes and sighed, and seemed to still have the sad scene in his mind.

Su Shi took a sip of tea and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Lin Tian glanced at him, put the paper fan on the table with a "snap", and said, "What do you mean by the Su family, it doesn't hurt to say it directly." ”

Su Shi sighed, with embarrassment on his face: "Don't hide it from Mr. Lin, the old man is here to ......" He wanted to speak and stopped. Lin Tiandao: "But please say it directly." ”

Su Shi couldn't open his mouth and said, "Old decay...... Decay for ...... For...... Alas...... he couldn't open his mouth, took out a piece of paper from his arms and said, "Mr. Lin, look at it yourself......"

Lin Tian was full of curiosity, what is the matter with this Su family, so silent? I took a look, but it was a voucher, a voucher for borrowing money......

"This ......" Lin Tian was surprised and asked a little dumbfounded, "What does this mean?" ”

Su Shi's face flushed, and he said, "I raised it for an old friend...... It's urgent. ”

Lin Tianxin said that he had borrowed it for someone else, but when he saw that what was written on the voucher was to borrow 30,000 taels of silver, and 30,000 taels was not a small amount, he frowned and asked, "Meaning, I should go down." …… It's just that Lin can know who raised it? ”

Su Shi saw that Lin Tian did not shirk, and said secretly: "Sure enough, this character in the rivers and lakes is still bold." He had already asked for help from many people, but they were all politely refused. He stood up at the moment, bent down and saluted, "Mr. Su, thank you Mr. Lin." ”

Lin Tian hurriedly got up, not daring to accept this big gift, and after they sat down, Su Shi slowly said the matter...... It turned out that Su Shi borrowed money for Wang Anshi, who was living in Jinling......

It turned out that Wang Anshi was living in Jinling, and saw that Cai did everything to implement the law change, which was not the right way, and Su Shi got together a few months ago to talk, predicting that the law change would be disaster, and he was worried and depressed, and he was determined to build a college to cultivate righteous students, at this time Wang Anshi was already sixty and three, with a chronic illness, and he was dying like a lamp in the twilight, (in history, Wang Anshi died in 1086, that is, two years after the novel).

After Lin Tian listened, he remembered for a moment that a certain martial arts master used his life force to create an earth-shattering and mysterious style-Sword Twenty-Three. This Wang Anshi also has some meaning of shining with the afterglow of life, his prediction is correct, and the development of history is indeed as he said......

Lin Tian pondered for a moment, suddenly picked up the silver voucher, tore it into pieces and threw it, the confetti flew, Su Shi stood up in shock, thinking that Lin Tian had repented, and pointed at Lin Tiandao: "You...... You...... If you don't borrow, you won't borrow, why play with the old man? Hum! As he spoke, he threw his sleeves and left.

Lin Tian hurriedly stood up, grabbed Su Shi's arm, and said with a smile: "Su family, don't be impatient, listen to Lin, although Lin has never met Wang Xianggong, and he is not very interested in his changes, but building a academy and spreading scholarship is a great good deed. Lin is a person in the rivers and lakes, the rules of the rivers and lakes, sticking a knife in the ribs for a friend, and just a little money, what a pity? ”

When Su Shi heard this, his emotions eased, and he listened to Lin Tian continue: "Although there is a big age difference between me and the Su family, I have always thought that I am friends of previous years, do the Su families look down on Lin?" Su Shi's face was ashamed, Lin Tian observed his words, knew what he was going to say, and waved his big hand and said, "How is 30,000 taels enough?" I'll give 100,000 taels...... Oh, no, 500,000 taels, count it as a donation from someone in my Lin, there is no need to repay, if you want to run a college, you can run the largest academy, the whole Song Dynasty, the whole world, the largest academy in ancient times! "He said that he is extremely heroic, and he has run the largest academy in ancient times! Su Shi couldn't help but be enthusiastic when he heard it.

"However, there is one condition......" Lin Tian suddenly whispered.

"Please." Su Shi had no accident, people paid 500,000 taels for free, and it was not uncommon for conditions to be available.

Lin Tian stared at Su Shi and said in a deep voice: "I want you to resign and teach in the academy." Otherwise, nothing ...... talk"

Su Shi seemed to be quite surprised by this condition, his face changed again and again, and after a while, he sighed, sat on the chair, and replied: "Deal, Su agreed." ”

Lin Tian sat aside, refilled the tea for Su Shi, and joked: "Master Su, are you reluctant to be a big official?" ”

Su Shi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I have a personal relationship with Brother Jiefu, alas, but because of political disagreements, I have repeatedly ...... Alas, if you don't talk about it, it's not a good thing to quit your job and study. Lin Tian said: "The people say that Wang Xianggong is a reluctant minister, ha, if you want to work with him, you have to bear it, and everyone in Su must be mentally prepared." ”

Su Shi seemed to recall the scene of arguing with Wang Anshi with a red face and a thick neck, and said with a slight smile: "He is a gentleman." ”

Lin Tian nodded, and suddenly said with a sneer: "But I'm a villain, hehe, Lin has a second and last condition, this academy must be built in Gusu, well, I think it will be built on the edge of Taihu Lake, and the name is 'Taihu Academy'!" ”
