The Great Song Kingdom is now Dading, nearly double the land out of thin air, the Central Plains of the North has been recovered, and thousands of people have praised the emperor's wisdom, Gaozong Zhao Gou has not mentioned how happy he is in his heart! is quite a bit complacent, so he ordered the world to be amnesty and to celebrate with the whole world.

The people of the Great Song Dynasty have been very accustomed to the succession of good news, and Xiao Ming, the first auxiliary minister of the imperial cabinet, on behalf of the imperial court and the household department of the Great Song Dynasty, cashed in the notice of the first phase of the "Northern Expedition Debt Volume", which made those who bought the debt package excited, the first stage of the debt package was originally intended to return in one year, and now due to the victory of the Northern Expedition! The imperial court's decision will be fulfilled at the end of the year.

Such a bond is equivalent to cashing out four months in advance, but the number of bonds delivered in the market is far from meeting the standard, and everyone almost holds all the bonds in their hands, waiting for it to rise again, and the standard of the imperial court is already fifteen percentage points after the principal and interest of the bonds, which is already very high, but people are still greedy, and there is no way.

However, Xiao Ming soon added another firewood to this market atmosphere of profit-seeking debts, and after the first stage of the "Northern Expedition Bonds" was completed, the imperial court issued 10 million guanzi of "Great Song Construction Bonds" again.

This part of the money is to support the construction of local agriculture, water conservancy facilities, and some infrastructure, of course, Xiao Ming is calculated according to a certain proportion of labor, but in fact, in the labor area, because a large number of captive laborers have been used, the amount of cost should be very small, but no one will think about this account carefully.

This kind of bond issuance guaranteed by the national wealth, because the Ministry of Household Affairs is only a regulatory agency, and the specific issuance is carried out by banks with independent operating capabilities, and ordinary people have gradually developed trust in banks, plus the issuance of the last "railway bonds" and this "Northern Expedition bonds", yes, many people are very supportive and concerned about this kind of thing.

At the same time, the fourth stage of the "railway bonds" and the "Great Song Construction Bonds" were issued at the same time, and the banks that undertook this issuance were still the First Imperial Bank of the Great Song Dynasty and the Richang Longsheng Bank of Richanglong, and only in the past few years, the private capital has begun to be active in large quantities, and it seems that someone is preparing to build a third bank.

The Great Song Dynasty gradually detached itself from some of its realities, and in the eyes of ordinary people, it is no longer the kind of thing that the imperial power will be high, but a bit like a state institution, and the supervision of private capital and the supervision of national capital have finally begun to formally mention it.

Therefore, Xiao Ming suggested the establishment of a special agency to review and supervise private capital. The cabinet ministers were noncommittal about this, the most important thing at the moment was how to arrange the grand celebration of the Great Song Kingdom, and to please the emperor.

Xiao Ming shook his head at this, but he didn't want to care too much about it at this stage, and if he wanted to go through a change, it would have an impact on the current system, but it depended on the timing, fortunately, he hadn't been home for a long time, and he decided to return to Hangzhou to spend a year with his family.

Time entered 1135 AD, the first year of Puning in the Great Song Dynasty, Xiao Ming has been in this world for more than 14 years, Yun'er is almost eight years old, and the two daughters are more than three years old, Xiao Ming finally experienced the fun of the second daughter around the knee! His four wives, except for Zhao Fujin, the lord of the Great Song Dynasty, were still at home on Shuri Island in the Ryukyus, and he and his family were all in Hangzhou.

After this year, Xiao Ming also wants to go to Ryukyu Island, Zhao Fujin is a little lonely after all, he wants to try to persuade her to come back, he can't avoid his mother's family forever! Besides, if there must be a governor for the immigration work on the island, it should not be a female governor.

Xiao Ming also wanted to meet Ding Jianpeng, Ding Jianpeng had been engaged in the research of kerosene and rubber in the Ryukyu base, I heard that there was a lot of progress, the two had not met for a long time, facing the unified Great Song Dynasty China, what should be the next step, Xiao Ming had no one to discuss, he could only find Ding Jianpeng.

But coincidentally, Ding Jianpeng happened to be in Hangzhou this year, and he didn't know where he knew that Xiao Ming had returned to Hangzhou, and this time he happened to bring someone to visit! Who is Ding Jianpeng bringing? It is Zhao Bozhang, the ancestor of the Zhao clan of the Great Song Dynasty, who regards Ding Jianpeng as a master, and follows him inseparably every day.

Although Xiao Ming was very surprised, he was still very happy, Zhao Bozhang followed Ding Jianpeng to learn although he did not master any professional knowledge such as new chemical and biological materials, but he also knew basic chemical physics and other knowledge, and the most valuable thing was the free concept of democracy and fraternity that Ding Jianpeng taught him.

In fact, Xiao Ming and Ding Jianpeng have misunderstood the people of the Song Dynasty, thinking that they are ancient people and are unlikely to accept the ideas and things of modern people, but they do not know that the Song Dynasty people are the most open-minded and creative era in Chinese history.

Zhao Bo Brown is a very smart person, he always uses some new knowledge and ideas that Ding Jianpeng said to corroborate with the teachings of the ancient sages in China, and even uses some Buddhist concepts to corroborate, which shows that this young man has a lot of knowledge and books.

Ding Jianpeng was very satisfied with him, but "the words of the saint are not only believed, and the words of the contemptible husband are not light!" Such an assertion came from the mouth of a young man in his twenties like Zhao Bozhang, but Ding Jianpeng could never have dreamed of it, but the attitude of criticizing everything and denying everything is very dangerous.

Therefore, Ding Jianpeng taught him Confucius's method of enlightening people's hearts, in a sense, saints are also people, and saints lie in their ways of understanding things and solving things, and the same thing may be different from the understanding of saints in general, and the value lies in this difference.

The two were actually arguing and talking constantly in Xiao Ming's living room, Xiao Ming watched with great interest on the side, until Ding Jianpeng found that Xiao Ming was smiling and looking at them, he felt embarrassed, after all, he was a guest, but now he is anti-guest.

Talking about the intention of this time, Ding Jianpeng pointed at Zhao Bobrown and said: "This time it's all because of him, do you know who this person is?" ”

Xiao Ming stood up and looked at Zhao Bo Brown carefully, shook his head and said, "Isn't he your apprentice?" ”

"He is my nominal apprentice, but he is also the righteous son of the current saint!" Ding Jianpeng sighed and said.

This time, even Xiao Ming rushed to be surprised, he waited for Zhao Bo Brown and said, "Your Majesty is your father-in-law today?" ”

Zhao Bo Brown said helplessly: "This is indeed true, but in terms of seniority, he should be regarded as my clan uncle, and he is not only my righteous son!" ”

It turned out that Zhao Bo Brown was the descendant of the founding emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, Taizu, Zhao Bo Brown is actually called Zhao Ying now, his original name was Bo Cong, and later changed his name to Wei, given the name Yuan, the word Yuan Yong. The seventh grandson of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, the sixth grandson of Shouwang Zhao Defang, and the son of Xiuwang Zhao Zi, was born in Xiuzhou and was named the king of Jian'an County.

Although Zhao Bo Brown was adopted as an adopted son by Gaozong Zhao Gou, he was given the name and raised by Jieyu Zhang. However, due to the fact that the Wu family, who was favored by Gaozong, also adopted Zhao Bojiu, a descendant of Taizu, and Zhao Botao, he was not too valued in the palace, and because of his noble status, no one cared about him, so he wandered around, hunted for books, and had a great relationship with Zhao Fujin, the lord of Fumao.

Ding Jianpeng said: "I received your letter a few days ago, and I also have some understanding of the hidden intentions of the current Great Song Dynasty court about system change, as for the way?" It's not that there isn't, it's nothing more than two types: gradual and shocking, and the shocking type is like the former Soviet Union, shock therapy! But gradients take time to get started! ”

"But how can Russia's national conditions compare with China's?" Xiao Ming said.

"I know, I'm just saying this, I also think that China needs a gradual change, but this is the Song Dynasty, and before the cultural change is completed, everything needs to be done slowly and slowly!"

Xiao Ming frowned tightly and muttered: "Cultural change, cultural change, where should this start?" ”

Ding Jianpeng said: "As long as science is not valued at this time, I think it is an opportunity!" This era is called the period of cultural revival in China by later generations, just like the Renaissance in the West, since you have eliminated the intrusion of the nomadic civilization in the north, then it is time for him to go in the direction of that revolution! ”

Xiao Ming said: "I understand what you mean, but this kind of unknown is too big!" I'm a little scared......! ”

Ding Jianpeng was also silent, although Zhao Bobrown next to him couldn't quite understand the conversation between the two, but he could vaguely understand that the topic of the conversation between the two was related to the "system" that Ding Jianpeng often talked about with him, he looked at this, looked at that, and finally said: "If the road to the future is chosen by the people themselves, then even if you work hard, you can't change anything!" ”

This sentence was like a slap in the face, and Xiao Ming's mouth was shocked, waiting for Zhao Bozhang to be speechless for a long time, he looked at Ding Jianpeng and asked, "You said you came for him today?" What do you mean ......? ”

Ding Jianpeng nodded and smiled: "What do you think?" ”

Xiao Ming took a breath, looked at Zhao Bo Brown carefully, and said, "I understand!" Hehe, that's a really good idea! ”

Zhao Bo Brown was very uncomfortable being stared at by Xiao Ming, but when he saw him laughing, he knew that Xiao Ming should have figured out something, so he said with a smile: "Today is the Shangyuan Festival, and here in the south is to eat glutinous rice balls and watch lanterns, since the people's thoughts are the most important, why don't we go to the street to see the lives of the people?" And I heard that Hangzhou's lantern festival is very famous, don't miss the opportunity! ”

After all, it is the heart of a young man, Xiao Ming smiled and said, "That's right! It's time for us to take a walk on the streets, see the lives of ordinary people, and watch the lights and admire the moon! What does Brother Ding think? ”

Ding Jianpeng said: "That's what I mean, hahaha......!" ”

Xiao Ming instructed his subordinates: "Go and tell a few ladies in the back, today's Shangyuan Festival, there is a lantern festival in Hangzhou, let's go and enjoy it together!" ”

The servant returned: "Back to Hou Ye, Mrs. and Miss Gongzi heard that you have guests, it is inconvenient to disturb, they have already gone out to enjoy the lanterns, let me remember to tell Hou Ye"

Xiao Ming and Ding Jianpeng looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing at the same time......!
