Wannian Dusi is the name of the people, and its official title is the "Wannian Division" under the Jiangxi Dusi.

Due to the frequent occurrence of mine supervision and anti-tax and miners' uprisings in the Shangrao and Quzhou mining areas, this sub-capital division was set up to be responsible for the monitoring, suppression and military dispatch of the mining areas nearby.

The highest person in charge of the sub-capital division is the commander of the Jiangxi Metropolitan Division, and there are seven functions below: the staff (reconnaissance and intelligence), the experience (staff officer), the march (dispatch logistics), the ordnance (weapon), the pacification (military discipline), the judgment (trial), and the prison (prison), which correspond to the configuration of the Jiangxi Metropolitan Department in Nanchang.

However, the chief officials of each division on the side of the capital division are the rank of servant, and the divisions are all one level lower, and the chief officials of each division are thousands of households.

The two sets of teams in one place are set up according to the local characteristics, and the responsibility is to be in charge of the county government, and the division of the capital is in charge of the military guard.

Sure enough, there are people in the yamen who are easy to do. When the people in the marching division heard that it was Jiao Baihu's eldest brother who was coming, they immediately received them warmly and invited them into the guest room for tea, and soon Jiao Conghu came to meet them.

Wu Kun introduced Li Dan and told him that the group of people who robbed the Fire Temple a few days ago had been driven away by Li Sanlang's strength.

Jiao Conghu was overjoyed when he heard this, saying that because this group of people was having a headache, he was ready to send the people and guards to set off, so he freed his hands to clean up with the government office, and since he had been driven away, it couldn't be better!

After speaking, he led Li Dan to meet President Qian, who was in the marching division, and successfully received the official documents and license plates.

When Mr. Qian heard that he was the son of a former prefect, he attached great importance to the team rate, and he was busy greeting him in person.

I was very happy to hear that I brought a carriage, because few of the people were willing to give out their own carriages and horses, so I was very appreciative of Li Sanlang's dedication, and wrote to his acquaintance Geyang Han Shoubei on the spot to ask him to take care of it, and also allocated 200 catties of bran to Li Dan, asking him to go back and have a good rest, and set off tomorrow.

Li Dan thanked Qianhu, and came out to thank Jiao Conghu and Wu Kun again.

The brothers said that they had eaten something after dinner, and took him to Sihaiju not far away to eat and drink to see him off, and sent someone to call Wuxiao and Wuji to meet Li Dan.

Li Dan couldn't help it, and he also wanted to see the quality of the two brothers in my family, so he agreed, and asked Brother Mao to go to the West Gate with a veteran soldier sent by Jiao Baihu with a document first, find Ma Jiu to settle the team, and follow the two of them to live in the four seas.

It turned out that Wu Xiao's shop was on the adjacent street, and the academy where Wu Ji studied was not far away, and the brothers soon heard the news.

Hearing that Wu Xiao was doing forage and soybean meal business in the city, Li Dan asked him to procure it for himself.

"Originally, I wanted to leave a few brothers in charge of this matter in Wannian, it would be great if Erlang could bear it!"

Wu Xiao was very happy to have such a big deal, and immediately responded to it. Although Li Dan was worried about Ma Jiu and others, in order to win over my brothers and Jiao Baihu, he still patiently drank a few cups with them.

At the table, he paid attention to the observation and found that Wu Kun was more angry among them, and he was more righteous.

Jiao Conghu is a military attache with a rough face and a meticulous inside, and he is very anxious about the fact that he has no chance to go to the battlefield for meritorious service and promotion.

Wu Xiao is a shrewd businessman, he doesn't need to turn his eyes to know the pros and cons, it's a pity that this person only does a grain and grass business, Li Dan plans to observe more in the future.

The youngest Wu Jiwen Zou Zou didn't talk much, but when he helped his second brother record the categories and quantities of Li Dan's purchases, he couldn't help but applaud with a beautiful hand.

"Shiro's word is really good, if I am an examiner, I will also take your first place with this!" Li Dan gave a thumbs up and boasted.

"It's just a small goss, how can my brother praise it like this." Wu Ji waved his hand and was humble, he was two months younger than Li Dan, so he called him his brother.

"The younger brother is accompanied by oil lamps every day, and I don't know what the result will be. My brother has brought his own team and served the country. Shame, shame! ”

"I can't agree with Shiro's words." Li Dan shook his head and said:

"Civil and military are indispensable in the country, the late Tang Dynasty suppressed literature and promoted martial arts, and the Song Dynasty used literature to control martial arts, but in the end it was the building upside down, yin and yang out of tune.

Only the directors of the various departments of the Ministry of Culture and Military Affairs can balance it properly, and it is not far from the rule of the Holy Son of Heaven. Just like the small scale, whichever side the scale rod falls towards, the hand holding the rope will be difficult.

So don't think like this, as long as you can use the country, it is not a waste of time! ”

"Well said!"

A cheer startled a few people, the chairs in the next compartment sounded, the curtain was lifted by a folding fan, and a tall man with a short beard in a long robe walked in, clenched his fists and said:

Zhao Chongxian came suddenly in Xiatongguan, and wanted to ask the "balance of civil and military" just now, which brother is high? ”

Others don't recognize that Jiao Conghu is a person in the government, although his position is low, but the main heads of the government and the branch department are still very familiar.

He immediately got up, saluted, and said loudly: "The last general, the marching division of the hundred households Jiao Conghu, give a salute to the adults." After speaking, he put his four fingers together and his thumb down, pointing to Li Dan, who had already gotten up:

"This is the third son of the late Lord Li of the former Dongchang Prefect, and this time he was ordered by Yugan County to lead the team to report to the Wannian Division.

At the end, the general specially placed wine for Li Gongzi to catch the wind, and the aftermath of the wine alarmed the adults, please Haihan! ”

I didn't want the person to be angry, so he smiled and waved his folding fan and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I happened to be resting next door, and I can drink when I hear this high theory!"

Dare to ask Li Sanlang, I have a question, can you try to solve my doubts? ”

Li Dan listened to the word "I" in this person's mouth, tilted his head slightly to Jiao Conghu, and Jiao Baihu hurriedly introduced softly: "This is Lord Zhao, who is the Tongzhi of Raozhou Mansion and the right to participate in politics in Jiangxi." ”

Fu Tongzhi is at least a civil official of the fifth grade, but he has the title of "participating in politics on the right", which indicates that he is more likely to be from the fourth grade.

Line is the meaning of concurrent, his line Jiangxi right participation in politics is a concurrent position, about to facilitate the coordination between the government and the provincial government.

After hearing this, Li Dan knew that this person was not the main pillar in the house, but was placed in this place to play a dispensable idle role of coordination and communication up and down, left and right.

After quickly weighing it in his heart, Li Dan decided to be commensurate with his own position, and hurriedly took a half step back and bowed, saying:

"Student Li Dan, I've seen Master Tongzhi! I don't know what adults mean by 'confusion'? Students are willing to do their best to help adults one or two. ”

Zhao Chongxian said "bother" and stepped forward unceremoniously, Wu Ji hurriedly got up to give up his seat for him, and stood behind his brother Wu Kun.

"Li Sanlang came from Yugan, and I heard that the imperial court had praised your ancestors and fathers, and it can be said that you are a loyal family.

However, it is difficult for this dynasty to come to Jingjing, and there have always been three discords, civil and military discord, north-south discord, and money discord.

When today's peace and the unification of the country and the country, why are there so many discords? Take what you just said about literature and martial arts, to balance them, it is easier said than done!

In this regard, San Lang, do you have any words and thoughts? Let's talk about some after-drinking discussions. He said this unhurriedly, but a layer of cold sweat broke out on Wuji's back.

Unexpectedly, this person actually knew about his predecessor, Li Dan was a little surprised, and immediately replied:

"In the eyes of students, there is only one word behind these three things that adults say: human desire."

Li Dan's voice landed, Bi Tongzhi's face was not shocked, Wu Kun, Wu Xiao and Jiao Baihu looked at each other, but Wu Ji was sweating like rain on his back.

"Human desire, how do you say it?"

"The world is miserable, and profits come and go." Li Dan said: "What Shinong and industry are fighting for is the word 'profit'. The three discords that the adults just said are nothing more than that. ”

"Huh? Right? Zhao Chongxian frowned slightly, and the folding fan in his hand was placed on the table.

"If it is said that the discord is caused by the inducement of businessmen and merchants, I can still agree with it, how can it be related to anything else? Didn't San Lang Mo want to fool me? ”

The faces of those people were a little wrong, but Li Dan smiled and gave his hand again: "Adults, listen to the students' explanations." The ancients said: At the beginning of man, nature is good. That's true!

When the Three Emperors and Five Emperors just wanted to eat well, there were many additional ideas?

Later, when there was more output and food and clothing were solved, there were gradually gorgeous clothes, singing and dancing, and slaves. Territorial expansion requires management, and there is a way to control the subordinates and govern the country.

And the word 'idea' is human desire.

I raised up with force against Taizu, expelled the Tartars, and restored the Han family. However, if the country is determined immediately, it cannot immediately govern the world, and governance still needs to be implemented by the civil service system.

At this time, there is a situation, the so-called cultural advance and military retreat.

Although all dynasties have to go through such a stage after the founding of the country, it is definitely not comfortable and unaccustomed to their turn, so the generals who have always directed the country and conquered the city are not happy to be restrained, which is the origin of the civil and military discord. ”

"Well said, good!" Zhao Chongxian patted his hand lightly on the edge of the table, with a look of appreciation on his face, and urged: "Then, why is there discord between the north and the south?" ”

"The discord between the north and the south is due to history, and the root is in regional differences. Under the rule of the Tatars, the northerners were honored and the southerners were honored, and hidden dangers were planted at that time. ”

Li Dan thanked him and sat down at his beckon, and continued:

"The boundary between the north and the south is in the Qinling Mountains and Huaishui. Generally speaking, the Tatars retreated to the steppe, leaving the present dynasty with a climate of impermanence, vast land, few people, lack of food, and a hundred ruins to be rebuilt.

The south returned to the Han rule 20 years earlier than the north, and the climate was mild and rainy, and the land was fertile, so it recovered quickly.

For example, silk from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, rice from the two lakes, tea and salt from Sichuan and Guizhou, minerals, timber and precious stones from Yunguang, as well as spices and gold brought by the maritime trade of Guangdong, have created the wealth of the south.

The Northern Expedition of the three generations of Emperor Taizu, Taizong and Emperor Ren completed the unification, and there were more southerners than northerners in the army or in the court.

The southerners, who were richer and restored the Han dynasty earlier, consciously raised their eyebrows and looked down on the northerners, while the northerners thought that they were no different from the southerners, and that there should be no such thing as having fewer people in the imperial examinations than the southerners.

As a result, there are fewer northerners than southerners in the court, and the right to speak is weak, and the contradiction between the north and the south is prominent.

Although this situation has eased slightly after Emperor Taizong's martyrdom, since Emperor Xuanzong, the four consecutive champions have come from the south, and this trend has revived.

Adults come from the Northland and come from understanding, I wonder if what students have heard is true? ”

"Indeed, indeed!" Zhao Chongxian slapped the edge of the table twice in a row, and asked excitedly: "What about the discord between the money and the money?" Tell me about it! ”

Li Dan took a sip of tea, thought for a while, and said: "In ancient times, because copper was scarce and expensive, its status was comparable to gold.

At the beginning of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, copper was only used in the homes of noble ministers for casting heavy treasures and inscriptions, and it was difficult to circulate.

The Warring States period rose together, although the etiquette collapsed and the princes merged, but the vast territory brought security and transportation, then commerce prospered, exchanges were promoted, copper became currency, and credit was in the world.

After the Qin and Han dynasties, China was unified, and the production force progressed, and it was developed a lot, and half a tael or five baht was cast in copper, Zhenguan and Kaiyuan Tongbao, because of its preciousness for the currency of the world.

After the Tang Dynasty, the world was turbulent, and there were many people who overflowed China's copper. If it goes to the Western Regions and the southeastern countries, the east enters the Japanese and Korean, and the north enters Zhuhu, so the use of China is insufficient.

It is made of paper by Song Renzong.

In fact, banknotes have been around for a long time, or they may have originated from the Han Dynasty deed and the early Tang Dynasty counter tickets.

Dan consulted the ancient books, and knew that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered the princes and clans to make a pilgrimage to the white deer skin coin, and the leather coin needs to be purchased from the inner garden supervisor first, a straight 400,000 yuan, which is the ancestor of non-metallic currency.

Later, when Tang Xianzong, copper coins were scarce, and the provinces forbade coins to leave the country, and the merchants of Beijing came up with a way to put the copper coins in the homes of the Zhudao Jinju Yuan or Jiedu envoys, and then exchanged for bills and then returned to each province to withdraw money with tickets, which was the origin of 'easy exchange'.

After the founding of the former Song Dynasty, the government set up convenient money affairs to control the exchange of money and banknotes in the form of official offices.

The Song people were thus inspired to invent Jiaozi, which replaced the heavy copper and iron currency in order to carry and circulate in other places, and deducted 30 yuan per yuan when exchanging.

Song Renzong set up a subordinate affairs, which was the first to open the official banknote. Since then, banknotes have become popular, such as the Guan banknotes issued by the Tatars, the Chu coins of the Southern Song Dynasty, and so on.

But in any case, the Celestial Empire in the modern era was dozens of times the size of the territory of the Six Kingdoms in the past;

On the other hand, precious metals are scarce and not easy to carry and circulate remotely; These two are the main reasons for the emergence and development of banknotes. ”

"Hmm——! Jun really got to the root, please continue! Zhao Chongxian said and grabbed the wine glass that Wuxiao had poured for him at hand and drank it all.

Therefore, money and money are not natural opponents, they are complementary and mutually dependent. The reason why we are suffering from money and money today is because of people. ”

"Huh? How is it because of people? Zhao Chongxian didn't understand, and the wine glass in his hand was put down involuntarily.

"Whether money or money, they are all dead things, but people are alive." Li Dan smiled and looked at the puzzled eyes of others:

"Just like the plate on this table, it is placed intact because the guy is stable and placed in the correct way, if it falls on the ground, it is a human problem, it is the guy who does not work hard, and he should be scolded!"

Everyone understood, and they all laughed. Li Dan continued:

"Emperor Taizu fought against the Tatars, and the money and goods were insufficient to reward the soldiers, and the continued use of the enemy's money was a danger for others to take advantage of, so he decided to issue new coins instead, and he had his own money and money.

Looking at the experience of the Song Dynasty since Jiaozi, it can be seen that:

First, the printing of large amounts of banknotes and metal currency supplements;

Second, the issuance of banknotes is based on gold and silver;

3. Prohibition of official circulation and private printing;

Fourth, the total amount is evidence-based and supervised by the special government;

Fifth, banknotes are dedicated, and counterfeiters will be punished!

Nowadays, the money is not used enough and the price of money is getting cheaper, and the people are complaining.

Some people think that the ancient system should be followed to scrap banknotes, and some people think that the cheap banknotes are the people who abandon paper money for copper profits, and it is advisable to open mines and smelt copper to increase production.

However, the students thought that these statements were partial generalizations, did not find the root cause of the matter, and did not see the current situation of the depletion of copper mines, and there was no new way to blindly retro will not solve the problem.

From the perspective of historical development, the rise of paper money to replace copper and iron coins is the general trend, just as the Qin and Han dynasties were unified, and five-baht coins replaced various shell coins and knife coins in the six countries.

Since it is the general trend, you can only follow the trend, how can you return against the current? Isn't it ridiculous to use the mantis arm as a car! ”

"Well said, good!" Zhao Chongxian picked up the wine glass and found it empty, and Wu Xiao, who was listening attentively, hurriedly filled it for him again.

Seeing that Zhao Chongxian had drunk it, his face was full of red light, and Li Dan continued:

"Although the banknote is light and thin, as long as it is issued by the government, it represents the dignity of the court, the dignity of the emperor and the credibility of the country, and these three things must be maintained! Looking at today, the vassal kings in various places have the right to print money, and the shape, size, color, and paper are not the same, and the people dare not use it, or they do not accept the banknotes of Henan in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

These banknotes are no different from the coins minted by the kings of the early Han Dynasty, so what is the credit? If it can be used for fun, it will be a strange thing! Moreover, no one cares how much money is issued, and the feudal lords do it at will. Taizu has ascended the throne so far, and banknotes are only printed and not recycled, filling the world, how can they not depreciate? What does this have to do with mining and copper smelting?

Therefore, it is not that there is something wrong with the thing itself, but that the people who use and manage it do not do it wholeheartedly, resulting in the failure of the thing to make the best use of it. This discord between money is not a dispute between money and money at all, but the result of people not setting good rules or not making proper use of it. ”

The two of them asked and answered like this, and due to interest, Zhao Chongxian was already full of red light.

Talking, talking, turning his head, Li Dan found that the sky was getting dark, and suddenly remembered that his people didn't know what was wrong, so he quickly got up and said goodbye.

Zhao Chongxian was obviously not happy yet, but he knew that he had a business trip and was not good for a long time, and he had been out for a long time, so it was time to go back, so he had to get up and come out together.

When he went to the street with Li Dan, he cordially held his hand and called him: "San Lang, I didn't expect you to see the world so thoroughly at such an age, you really hate to see each other late!" Anyway, I remember you little friend. If there is an opportunity to come and go for 10,000 years, please look for me to continue today's topic! ”

Li Dan remembered, thank you for your blue eyes. Dan will also come to 10,000 years to make a difference, take the documents, and then he will visit the adults, and I hope to take the time to meet! ”

Zhao Chongxian laughed, took off a brocade bag, and stuffed it into Li Dan's hand with the jade pendant inside as a souvenir, and then said goodbye to everyone, turned around with the support of his family, and went back to the mansion happily.

Bidding farewell to everyone, Wu Kun sent Li Dan back to the camp. Jiao Conghu still has to go back to Sili, and Wuxiao and Wuji go together.

I was happy that I had negotiated a deal, and I listened to the answer between Li Dan and Zhao Chongxian, and I high-fived and said with feeling:

"I didn't expect there to be such a person in the world, who was so young but could tell everything so clearly. Alas! It seems that the books I read are not enough, far from enough! ”

After speaking, he didn't hear a response, turned around and looked, and saw that Wuji was still looking at the direction of Li Dan and was stunned, so he shouted: "Fourth brother, don't look at it, everyone is far away!" ”

Only then did Wuji slowly move over, bow his head and say:

"Second brother, I thought I was smart so far in school, but today I met Li Sanlang, and I heard him say that his fifth brother has achieved fame in showing talent, and I know that there is a sky outside the sky, and I am really a frog at the bottom of the well!"

After speaking, he raised his head: "Second brother, I have a plan." I was going to go home in two days, but now I have changed my mind .......

I want to follow Li Sanlang on this errand, it won't take a long time, as long as I will return in ten days, I won't delay my home and academic homework, second brother, do you think it's okay? ”

"This ......." I wanted to object, but suddenly I felt that it was okay.

The masters are not able to take care of the production and business at home when they are away from home, and it is easy for people to have accidents if they are too long, so usually this kind of bandit is at least one month, and at most two or three months will be rotated, and it is rarely extended.

It is the first time for him to take over Li Dan's business, and if his younger brother has an eye in it, he can have a more and more detailed understanding of Li Sanlang. He thought about it with his hands behind his back, and then said to his brother:

"Tomorrow morning, you take your luggage and go to San Lang, if he accepts, I have nothing to say. I'll go and talk to him, big brother.

Li Sanlang also said that the forage and dry food they brought would last for ten days at most, and asked me to send the supplies to Geyang, where his own people would receive them.

So in ten days you will come back with the wagon I sent to carry supplies, without delay, do you hear? ”

"Good!" As soon as Wu Xiao finished speaking, Wu Ji bowed to the ground, and then turned his head and ran.

"Eh, where are you going?"

"What are you waiting for tomorrow morning? I'm going to chase the eldest brother and Li Sanlang now, pack up at night, and don't go to say goodbye to the second brother! ”
