Chapter 159 Gong Gai Han Wu

"Uncle, you really don't have half a step out of the door. You know a thousand miles away. "Ouyang praises one. Ouyang didn't know about this, but he could also see the name. Although the new firearms did not replace cold weapons, they became essential weapons for border guards. And there are deliveries in all directions, but it is Tongguan's Hebei West Road, which is the elite of priority delivery, but it has been prevaricating for various reasons. One will excuse Qin Feng Road for war preparations, and the other will say that Hebei East Road will become a horn with Qin Feng Road. After a while, he said that the Yangping Military Factory had no construction period. Tong Guan's list has been shelved several times. It can be seen that Zhao Yu is still giving Tong Guan a chance, after all, Tong Guan is also a military talent, and it is also useful to get him back to serve in the Privy Council.

"In fact, from what the royal newspaper and your brother said, you can guess seven or eight." Uncle said, "It depends on how you look at it." After Song Taizu released the military power with a cup of wine, the ancestors of our Ou family were worried that their children and grandchildren would not be sensible and provoked taboos, so they deliberately left their ancestors. It can be seen from Zu Xun that this court infighting is sinister. ”

The reason why my uncle said this is that the Royal Daily reported that next May will be dedicated to the Hangzhou fleet, and my uncle hopes that Ouyang will not be the main examiner again. The famous generals on the land route are your protégés, and the water routes are also your protégés, so don't you let the emperor get mixed up? In fact, Huilan also focused on this matter with Ouyang, and when Ouyang was talking to Zhao Yu about the fleet, he also said that don't let yourself be tired and let others be the main exam. Zhao Yu nodded, and finally decided to have a competition with three generations of old, middle-aged and young generals as examiners.

After living in his hometown for a month, the official was lucky to find a retired doctor, and the doctor said that as long as he was carefully treated, Aunt Ouyang could still get up and walk, but she couldn't do heavy work anymore. Ouyang was overjoyed and smashed Wanguan, so the imperial doctor was also overjoyed, which was not as good as this sum for the emperor to see a lifetime of illness. He said that he would definitely let Aunt Ouyang walk on the ground within half a year.

In mid-March, Ouyang said goodbye to his uncle and left home. This annual football match will begin to prepare, and this martial arts will also begin. Su Qian in the northwest is about to come back to discuss things, and there should be some movement on the side of the military factory. There are so many things that I can't help it.

When he arrived at Xincheng to pick up Wang Baofu, Ouyang saw Baofu and his father, the two really didn't have anything to say, his father had no opinion on Ouyang taking Baofu away, there was nothing to say on both sides, Ouyang also got another free meal, and politely invited everyone to go to Yangping to play when they were free, and then took Baofu on the road.

Baofu is very sensible and has a sweet mouth. After changing into a beautiful new dress, it looks cute and cute. Even a cadre of officials likes her very much. When I arrived in Hangzhou, I visited Zhou An again. Zhou An also happened to arrange for Zhou Ping to go to Yangping, looked left and right, and just brought it, so there were more than a dozen people in the fleet. It's not easy to say that Zhou Ping is a girl, she didn't bring anyone, she brought people who were selected from within the Zhou Mansion, and she also gave them tutoring and teaching along the way. And Ouyang felt that these people in the Zhou Mansion were more afraid of Zhou Ping than Zhou An.

Zhou Ping joined, and Ou Ping was entangled. What stayed by Ouyang's side was scratching his ears and cheeks. Anything to say to him is absent-minded. Ouyang saw that this kid was not too energetic, so he beat Ou Ping to Zhou Ping's boat, and he was also happy. As for whether this little man and woman will have some stories that shouldn't be born, Ouyang doesn't care. Everyone is a Sven, so no one will be forced to jump into the river.

……

All the way back to Yangping, as a county magistrate, absenteeism is very incorrect. Peers are very envious of Ouyang, the magistrate. If you have money, you don't have to say that you don't stay in the county, but the most important thing is that even if you stay in the county, you will have money if you don't deal with the trivial matters in the county. Ouyang laughed at a certain magistrate, in fact, we who are reading are the most useless, since this is the case, it is better to let them manage it. Everyone performs their duties, and as soon as the work efficiency goes up, Ouyang can't find anything to do.

If Ouyang returned to the Yamen, Zhan Ming and Gan Xin greeted him a few times, and then praised Wang Baofu, and he didn't mean to report his work at all. After a while, Ouyang realized that they didn't report because they weren't well-informed.

Find Ouyang first is Master Su, these two people plus Su Qian can be said to be the leader of the Yangping Business Association. Master Su generally doesn't ask about things, and Ouyang doesn't do specific things, Ouyang originally thought that Master Su was just here to visit, but he didn't expect to bring a piece of news that should be considered bad news.

Ou Ping helped Zhou Ping settle down, and Liang Hongyu took Wang Baofu to buy some daily necessities and sign up for the school. Ouyang let Master Su into the study. After a few polite words, Master Su entered the topic: "My lord, can you know Chen Dong, the bachelor?" ”

Chen Dong? I can't say I know each other. However, not long ago, in Zhang Bangchang's incident, I borrowed his hand and used it. Speaking of familiarity, even Li Gang in the court can't say that he is familiar. This person is upright, and his personality is a bit like Zong Ze, but he knows more about current affairs than Zong Ze. But the ability is quite different from Zong Ze. Ouyang nodded: "I know, I don't know if Su Lao suddenly asked, is there any reason?" ”

Master Su nodded: "I just received the news, Chen Dong looked at the table the morning before yesterday and counted the top ten diseases of both officials and businessmen. Please ask the emperor to prohibit local officials from participating in business. ”

"What do the ministers and the emperor think?"

"Your Excellency knows, which of the officials in this capital and the merchants do not have a clear relationship. On the spot, he was reprimanded by a group of ministers and asked the emperor to condemn Chen Dong. But what is strange is that the emperor felt that both sides were reasonable, so it was shelved. ”

Ouyang thought about it and said, "Su Lao suspects that this Chen Dong was instructed by the emperor?" And what does the imperial court seem to want to do? ”

"Well, according to the news. Song banknotes are about to run. Master Su said: "My lord also knows that this court coin is not impossible. But how much real money does the imperial court prepare? ”

Well, it's a matter of reserves. The lower the imperial reserves, the less valuable the Song coins became. If this Zhao Yu comes to an empty glove white wolf, the loss of the merchant is not half a star, and the most troublesome thing is the loss of the money bank. It used to be that you saved money, but now you can only buy half-run things. Naturally, the common people do not do it. And the assets of the businessmen who have the most money will also shrink in a large area. If the imperial court collects 100 guan coins and 100 guan banknotes, it makes no difference at all. If you collect one hundred or two hundred, then the problem is serious.

Ouyang's entry table to Zhao Yu is a line bond. Or it is a milder way to collect 100 lines and 12. Or entrust Yangping Money Bank to make paper money, collect copper coins, and finally use gold as a measure.

Master Su said: "The most important thing on Chen Dong's table is that businessmen may dominate the economy of the Song Dynasty. And the line of paper money controls such a thing of life. It's not that the old man doesn't disagree with the imperial court to put paper money, but he doesn't know how much this real money is, and he is indeed a little weak-hearted. If you don't say it well, Yangping Qianzhuang may go out of business. ”

Ouyang frowned, it was unfair for this country to make money, and the extra money had to be digested by the people. Under economic growth, it can be appropriately increased. But Ouyang didn't feel that Zhao Yu wanted to increase appropriately. Otherwise, she would have to mention this matter to herself, after all, she was in favor of it. Ouyang proposed to take tax profits as the standard, for example, last year's treasury received 100 yuan, and this year's collection of 120 yuan, then you can correspondingly line about 30 yuan of banknotes. But if you have to do two hundred, then it's inflation. Although Song does not have this concept of inflation, the people of the household department will not be unaware of the impact.

The treasury doesn't have much money, Ouyang knows. The northwest fought a war, bought arms, reduced taxes in the southeast, and appeased the construction costs of ships, docks, and barracks of the northwest and Hangzhou fleets. And also...... If you look like that...... Ouyang said: "Old Su, the emperor seems to be a little anxious for quick success. ”

"Well, the old man feels the same way." The emperor asks for money, which is naturally useful. Opening up the Silk Road will allow her to make a significant mark in history. But to get through this road, it is not a year or two to do. To make this road a regular road, I don't know how much money it will cost. Secondly, Feng Chan Taishan, to say that Zhao Yu is barely qualified, but according to Ouyang's boring time, it is calculated. The cost of paving roads and so on is at least not less than 20 million yuan, which is not counting the losses of the people.

Or...... Ouyang was shocked: "Could it be that the emperor wants to unite Liao against Jin, or Lianjin against Liao?" "For Jin, the fleet doesn't even have a prototype, and it's even more nonsense for Liao, both sides are defeated, and the Jin people pick up cheap. But only this explanation is the most reasonable, and it can best explain why Zhao Yu suddenly has an attitude of killing chickens and taking eggs. Ouyang hurriedly shouted: "Come on, bring Whelan." ”

……

When Huilan came to say, Ouyang knew that there was a big trouble. Wanyan Aguda sent his son to Tokyo, and accepted the canonization of Zhao Yu as a vassal king, respecting Song as his father's country. And said that he would pay tribute and worship every year.

Master Su didn't feel that there was any problem, but said, "My lord, you just said that the emperor is eager for quick success. This huge Jin State became a vassal, which is equivalent to incorporating the Jin State into the Song Dynasty, which is a great achievement. ”

"Master Su doesn't know, this Jin country ......"

Hui Lan smiled: "My lord, if this is the case, Hui Lan will definitely send someone to inform him quickly." But there's one more thing. The imperial court sent the head of the household department to Linhuang Mansion of the Liao State to discuss the purchase of Xinzhou, Wuzhou, Yingzhou, and Mozhou in the sixteen states of Yanyun. ”

Ouyang wondered and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"It's the Hangzhou fleet. The emperor vigorously formed the Hangzhou fleet, and in May he publicly raised his generals. The Liao mission said that it was willing to renew the alliance with Song, and the two countries unanimously agreed to Jin. When the Jin State received the news, it was very frightened, once the Song fleet really and the Liao Alliance, the Song people outflanked the Jin people from the sea, and the Jin people were basically defeated. So the book surrenders. ”

"Oh" Ouyang put his mind at ease, this Zhao Yu was indeed a little anxious, anxious to get back Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures. However, among the various methods, a very commercial method was chosen.

Whelan said: "Adults may not know. After this great victory in the Northwest. The emperor deliberately selected dozens of people to conduct research. The emperor now understands very well that the last thing that the Great Song Dynasty lacks now is money. As long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not called a problem. ”

It seems that he and Zhao Yu said that they used currency devaluation to rob wealth from the Liao people. Kindness...... Zhao Yuxing's banknotes also make sense. It is believed that it will count the greatest losses on the side of the Liao. As soon as Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures got it back, it was a merit compared to Han Wu. If the soldiers don't get it back, it's a meritorious battle.
