Chapter Fifty-Six: The Last Lesson Before Regaining Sight, Students

In Bianliang City, the matter of Jiaozipu quickly became the latest news.

Although Jiaozipu has been open for more than two months, most of the more than 500,000 guanli deposited are actually government and businessmen.

The so-called officials and businessmen are the family businessmen of officials, and these people rely on the energy of officials to engage in business activities.

It's just that the official movement of the Great Song Dynasty was relatively frequent, and the imperial court had strict control over commercial taxes, monopoly and other systems, so it did not form a particularly exaggerated monopoly and huge wealth.

But even so, the officials and businessmen are all very rich.

The first thing Shengdu found when he established Jiaozi was this group and asked them to deposit money into it.

Under the leadership of Lu Yi, Jian Shengdu and others, many high-ranking officials in the imperial court let their family members put them inside, and the rest was about 100,000 yuan, which was deposited by Bianliang merchants.

In the final analysis, although Jiaozipu has played a role in Chengdu, it is still a new thing in Bianliang, and the businessmen are cautious and wait-and-see, and no one intends to be the first to eat crabs.

But as Chengdu merchants set an example, saving money from Chengdu and withdrawing money from Bianliang, Bianliang merchants flocked to it, and for a time Jiaozipu was almost squeezed through the threshold, and Shengdu had to start preparing for a second Jiaozipu in Mahang Street.

"Hahahahaha."

On July 3, in the study room of Chongde Palace, Zhao Zhen was very happy when he looked at the official document newly sent by Jiaozipu in his hand.

The tea merchants wanted to jointly withdraw money, and there was a run on the wave, and as a result, Jiaozipu took out a large number of bright Jingyou ingots for many days, counted them on the spot, and delivered them on the spot.

This series of actions made Jiaozipu famous, and there was an endless stream of merchants who came to save money, although it was not necessarily used in Chengdu, but it could also be circulated in Bianliang.

In addition, the copper coin itself has great loss, oxidation, corrosion is a big problem, the money is placed at home or buried in the ground, or it will not be long before it will rot, and the loss will be returned to the state.

Therefore, the deposit of Jiaozipu has not decreased but increased, and when the deposit in Chengdu arrives in Bianliang, I am afraid that the storage of Jiaozipu in Bianliang will reach three million, which is enough to cover half a month's financial income of the Great Song Dynasty.

Although these money are stored by others, they do not belong to the imperial court. But firstly, the annual custodian fee of four percent is not a small amount, and secondly, a part of it can be diverted to replace the expenditure of the national treasury.

This will greatly alleviate the current serious fiscal deficit, so Zhao Zhencai is very excited, at least in the face of Li Yuanhao's attack in the next year, he feels very sure that he can defeat the other party.

As for the tea merchants who deliberately squeezed Jiaozipu, Zhao Zhen didn't care.

Except for just asking the Imperial City Division to make a list and raiding a few businessmen who did violate the law and discipline, the rest of the people were all spared.

The matter was resolved satisfactorily, and there was no need for the imperial court to rush to exterminate it.

The main reason is that the businessmen's behavior is not illegal, because since Jiaozipu is used to save money, it is reasonable and compliant for businessmen to withdraw money, and if the court settles accounts after the autumn, it is tantamount to killing chickens and taking eggs, so that other businessmen dare not come to save money.

Therefore, let them take it generously, as long as there are sufficient reserves, it can increase the credibility and reputation of Jiaozipu.

"Official, after the establishment of the Jiaozi Affairs, even if the matter of the deficit of the treasury was solved for a short time, many high-ranking officials in the imperial court no longer began to oppose the money law."

Lu Yijian arched his hand to Zhao Zhen and said: "When the money sent by Chengdu Jiaozipu this year and the expenses saved by the money method next year, I think that the treasury of the Great Song Dynasty will have a lot of surplus next year, and in the face of Zhao Yuanhao, we can also have a few more chances of winning." ”

"Hmm."

Zhao Zhen was very satisfied, nodded and said: "All this is the credit of you, Lu Xiang and Song Xiang, you are really my ruler." ”

Lu Yijian and Song Shou glanced at each other, they were both old foxes, and they could vaguely guess a few points.

Why did Yan Shu happen to see Fan Zhongyan coming out of the study, Wang Shouzhong has always been measured, what should be said and what should not be said will never be said nonsense, how can this kind of thing be spread.

But it came out.

There is no official shadow behind this, and they definitely don't believe it.

But even if they guessed, they wouldn't say it, Lu Yijian and Song Shou arched their hands and said: "It is the duty of a courtier to share the worries of the officials." ”

Wang Sui said: "Now that the treasury is full, and the border customs have no worries about grain and grass, maybe we can make plans early." ”

"The official, the minister thinks that the money law is now being implemented smoothly, and the key is whether the treasury can be more abundant next year to deal with Zhao Yuanhao, who has wolf ambitions."

Sheng Du said: "The tea merchants get money from the Jiaozi shop, and they can only buy grain and grass, and now the price of grain has risen a lot because of our large-scale purchase some time ago, so why not sell it to them now to enrich the treasury?" ”

"Ah......h

Zhao Zhen was dumbfounded, he was still black with his own courtiers.

"I think so."

Wang Zeng said: "The Bianliang tea merchants have suffered a big loss, but if they don't go to the middle school this year, then there will be no tea to get tea next year, the inflated money will not be obtained, and the profits from selling tea will be gone, so they will have no income at all, so now they can only buy grain." ”

Cai Qi also said: "Yes, a lot of grain on the market has been purchased by the imperial court, and the soaring price of grain will make the people suffer." Therefore, instead of cheapening those grain merchants, it is better for the imperial court to earn this money and stabilize grain prices. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister also seconded the proposal."

Several prime ministers surrendered one after another.

For the imperial court, this is a multi-pronged matter.

It can not only solve the problem of grain entering the middle, but also stabilize the price of grain, and also make the difference in price through the middle hand.

The problem is that Zhao Zhen originally planned to save these grains for the war with Li Yuanhao the year after tomorrow, but now he does not continue to collect grain but sells them, and when the war is fought, the price of grain will not go up to heaven?

Zhao Zhen hesitated slightly, but suddenly thought that Zhao Jun was about to recover, and thought that he should have a way, so he said, "Then let's do it." ”

discussed some other political affairs, and now seeing that the money law and the affairs of the children have been settled, the state affairs are very good, and it also makes Zhao Zhen feel good, and when the government affairs in the morning are almost handled, the group went in the direction of the back garden.

At this time, Zhao Jun was teaching the children for a whole morning, two math classes in the morning, a 20-minute break in the middle, and then two other classes.

Sometimes it's a Chinese class, sometimes it's a nature class, and even occasionally a music class and an English class, and I can't teach much when I'm blind, so I memorize words and talk about some knowledge.

I took a nature class today.

"The spring silkworm is dead to the end, and the wax torch turns into ashes and tears begin to dry" This poem was taught to you by the teacher yesterday. But the meaning of the spring silkworm to the end of the dead silk contains a lot of natural philosophy, so I will talk about it. ”

Zhao Jun groped for the wooden board, now the wooden board has been replaced several pieces, because there is no chalk and blackboard, it cannot be recycled by erasing the blackboard, so he can only use the wooden board and charcoal, and the wooden board will be cleaned by Yan Shu after class.

But no matter how you clean it, it will turn the whole board black over time, so there is no way but to change it like this.

Fortunately, he used a wooden board to teach, not writing, but only drawing a few plus a few, a few times a few digital content, which is not very complicated to write, and this time he drew several circles on the wooden board.

He pointed to the first circle and said: "Biology has a life cycle or growth cycle, and a person is inseparable from this law from birth, to growth, to prime of life, and finally to old age and death. The life cycle of silkworms is very short, only about less than 60 days. ”

"After the silkworm is laid, there are a lot of small white spots, called silkworm eggs, these eggs will grow up after a few days, hatching a silkworm baby, they grow up by eating mulberry leaves, spit out silk, these silk, it has become the ancient silk fabric products of our country."

"Why do silkworms spin silk? Because mulberry leaves contain a lot of amino acids, silkworms must spit out silkworm sap for self-detoxification. The second is to wrap oneself by spitting out a large amount of silk, which is a means of protecting oneself from the attack of natural enemies. ”

"People continue to collect silk through silkworm raising, and when the silkworm grows to a certain extent, it will pupate by itself, and then do not eat or drink in the pupae, and after more than ten days, it breaks out of the cocoon and becomes a silkworm moth, and finally gives birth to death."

"This is the life of silkworms, respectively, silkworm eggs, ant silkworms, silkworm pupa, silkworm moths, silkworms are kept in captivity, and they are dedicated to spinning silk all their lives, it burns itself like a candle and illuminates others."

"Many of us live like this, after we are born, we babble, then we go to school, we get a job when we grow up, we work hard to earn money to support ourselves and our families, and we dedicate ourselves to our families until we die. Although the days are very hard, the teacher is studying history, and it is precisely because he has seen the difficulties of the past that he knows that it is not easy now. ”

"In our ancient society, the feudal ruling class tended to exploit and suppress the people at the bottom inhumanely. After many people are born, they have no money to go to school, so they can only bear the burden of their families at a few years old, work in the fields, go up the mountains to dig wild vegetables, and can only barely support themselves in good years. ”

"If there are bad years, it is easy to die of famine. Moreover, if they encounter the landlord class and feudal bureaucrats, they are likely to find ways to snatch the land of the common people, so that they will not even have the opportunity to find a way to eat. ”

Zhang Yu, a scholar of the Song Dynasty, has a poem "Silkworm Woman", "I entered the city yesterday and returned with tears." Those who are all over Luo Qi are not silkworm breeders. "It is to use silkworms as a metaphor for the darkness and cruelty of feudal society, reflecting the exploitation of the people."

"We are now in New China, the people are the masters of the country, the feudalism that oppresses us is no longer there, everyone has the opportunity to study, can change their own destiny, you will all be the successors of socialism in the future, study hard in the future, get ahead in the future, you must not forget the country's cultivation of you."

At the end of Zhao Jun's words, his head turned around, his blindfolded eyes seemed to be looking around at many students, and he said seriously: "The teacher's eyes will recover soon, and this may be the last time I will teach you blindly." The teacher has memorized many of you's names, but I still don't know what you look like, so I'm looking forward to seeing you. What the teacher wants to say here is that the country has been paying attention to your education and your future, and the teacher must be responsible for your future and teach you to read well, I hope that all of you can study hard and not disappoint the expectations of the country and the teacher for you, understand? ”

"Understood."

The younger ones here are seven or eight years old, and the older ones are eleven or twelve years old, but they don't have the knowledge of later generations, which doesn't mean that they are ignorant, and they all respond in unison.

"Class!"

Zhao Jun said.

"Stand up!"

Squad leader Yaya got up.

This is the rule that Teacher Zhao taught them, they have to stand up every time they get out of class.

Soon the students left after school, saying that they were leaving, but in fact they were taken away by the old mothers outside.

Now the back garden has become a playground for children, and Lu Yi Jian Yanshu and they often come over, so that the children will not be disturbed by not seeing their families for a long time.

Anyway, it's only been a short time, and nothing has gone wrong in the past few years.

After the children went out, Zhao Jun fumbled to put the plank aside, sat on the bed and began to rest.

His eyes are now almost better, and from April to July, nearly three months of acupuncture, and he has regained his brightness.

In fact, he felt that his eyesight was completely better, because even if he wore a veil, he could dimly see the blazing sunlight outside, but the doctor told him to recuperate for a few more days, so he kept blindfolded, otherwise he would have been eager to take off his veil and see the light of day again.

Zhao Zhen and the others stood at the door and listened to the class for a while, and when Zhao Jun returned to bed to rest after class, before the children came out, they had already left the door and went in the direction of the Guanjia Palace.

Zhao Jun's eyes are getting better day by day, and he said that this may be the last time he blindly teaches the children, indicating that he wants to take off his veil tomorrow and the day after tomorrow at the latest.

"I have expected this kind of thing for a long time, sooner or later there will be such a day, or think about what he will do after his eyes are good."

"Judging by his words and deeds, he is not a mediocre person, and he will make a difference in the future."

"Yes, it will shine in the future."

"I heard Zhao Jun say that there is indeed a certain amount of oppression in the feudal social system, but as he himself said, in the case of our insufficient scientific and technological strength, it can only be so."

After arriving at the gate of the Guanjia Palace, Zhao Zhen said: "So his final scientific and technological strength is very critical, Zhao Jun's eyes are almost healed, whether our Great Song Dynasty can rise in the future and become comparable to the Han and Tang Dynasties, or even surpass the Han and Tang Dynasties, the expectation is on him." ”

The crowd looked at each other.

Everyone knows that the official family has high expectations for Zhao Jun, but they didn't expect it to be so high, and they bet the future of the entire Great Song Dynasty on him.

I am afraid that in the future, Zhao Jun's status in the Great Song Dynasty will be comparable to no one except the official family.

Lu Yijian was a little worried: "It's just that these days, I see Zhao Jun's temperament is quite young and vigorous, I'm afraid that he has a strong temperament, he already hates the Great Song Dynasty, after learning the truth, will there be any resistance?" ”

"Can you be a young man if you are not angry? Everyone has a young age. ”

Wang Zeng said with a smile: "What's more, he has come to the Great Song Dynasty, this is a fact that he can't change." Unless he can go back, otherwise, he will still have to live in the land of the Great Song Dynasty in the future, and if he doesn't go with what happens, does he want to go to the mountains and forests to live in seclusion? ”

Everyone laughed.

Oh, yes.

Everyone has come, and there is no way to go back.

What else can you do if you don't come and you can do it?

When he arrived in the Great Song Dynasty, there was always a group of people who stood at the highest power in the Great Song Dynasty to protect him.

Serving the official family is his best choice, is there any other way?
