Shao Song

"Shao Song ( to find the latest chapter!

Zhao Jiu's memory gushes out like water that opened the gate, and many thoughts emerged... But it is worth mentioning that the outflow after the gate was opened is not a flood, at most it is a stream of water.

This is also impossible.

This year is the seventh year of Jianyan. In other words, Zhao Jiu has lived a total of 27 years until this year. In the twenty-seven years, the experience of the last seven years gave him the feeling that it took up a larger part of his life.

As for the first two decades...not to mention the relative carefree back then, he didn't have any deep thinking skills before he went to high school? Then, there is not much time for effective knowledge acquisition, let alone mature cognition and practice.

In addition, there is actually a cause of pain from being beaten in the face.

Moreover, after Zhao Jiu fell into the well, influenced by some low-end games and high-end web posts, it was not that he had not tried some so-called cheat-opening ideas, but his ideas were often disgraced by the reality of ruthless and harsh conditions. These things stop at the idea stage:

The first is the impact of the war. Opening and closing your eyes all day is a matter of life and death. How can there be real thoughts to do this until Yaoshan?

Then there is no system of personal knowledge at all, and piecemeal and fragmentation can't form a breakthrough promotion effect on the systematic industry.

Finally, Da Song, as a country with a population of more than 100 million, has deepened its urbanization. It is already outside of the productive forces. In this heyday of the Middle Ages, it has achieved a certain extreme.

Zhao Jiu said many things, and it turns out that people have already had better cases, but it was only because of lack of money or wars that they had to be scaled down or suspended...The most representative of these is the medical system.

In a sense, it also includes financial issues this time.

The time went back a few days ago. At the beginning of this month, after Lin Jingmo, Shangshu from the Ministry of Households, submitted that heavy note, there was actually a note immediately following it. In Zhazili, Lin Jingmo had already put the issuance of specific Northern Expedition national debt, appropriate anti-corruption, and even the direct taxation of the rich and the poor (the inventory property tax, if the family property exceeds a certain amount, the tax will be paid), and he has put his brains in front of the Zhao official family. .

As Lin Jingmo, since he issued this note, it shows that the Mudang of the so-called Zhang Deyuan faction behind him has reached an internal consensus and is ready to charge for the Zhao official family.

However, not knowing whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, compared to these confidantes who were brought out and influenced by one's own hand, and dared to do things, Zhao Guanjia himself cringed.

There is of course a reason to cringe:

The large-scale issuance of the Northern Expedition government bonds requires the whole country to have full confidence in the Northern Expedition. Once the confidence of the whole country is not as high as the court thought, and if too much is issued, the government bonds will be unsaleable, which will lead to the situation of government officials and the people passing the government bonds. The Northern Expedition lost confidence.

That's not a big deal. The most terrible thing is that, according to Zhao Jiu's experience, once something goes wrong, it is very likely that there will be scenes where the government deceives the top and conceals the bottom and forcibly allocates. At that time, it will not only be a problem of public frustration, but even the conventional treasury bond market, which has been issued at the end of the year and has been steadily growing, will then be of great fiscal regulation significance.

It may even lead to greater political fluctuations.

As for anti-corruption.

This is an old-fashioned question... but it is a bit far-fetched, because at this time, the bulk of the national finance is spent on military expenditures, and the imperial army is still the military system of the generals at this time. In this case, from As the handsome officials went down, the ranks of officers were almost openly invading military spending.

To put it bluntly, if the official Zhao's family is not in the army to completely eliminate greed, then why should he go to eliminate other places?

As for the fight against corruption in the army, it is not impossible, but in that case, the balance of the army must be broken, some warriors who can be recruited will be dealt with, and some people will resist in series, forcing the court to carry out a vicious routine of purging... …And this is likely to lead to a large-scale backlash from the previous situation of nobility and inferiority, leading to the complete failure of the Zhao official’s trust in the army and the collapse of the army’s combat effectiveness.

In short, in the long run, the eradication of corruption is certainly beneficial to the maintenance of the military's combat effectiveness, but in the short term, the result is a rapid decline in the military's combat effectiveness.

But isn't Zhao Jiu's pursuit of maintaining combat effectiveness in a short period of time to ensure that he can expedition to the north at any time?

And this is precisely why Zhao Jiu can only properly clean the part of the imperial army under his nose. Most of the time, he has to give face to face again and again, by imposing on dozens of handsome officials and dozens of commanding officers. Influence, to control the corruption problem within the army.

Of course, to be honest, the Zhao official family and the court are really not white lotus flowers.

After the Yanling victory, the imperial court immediately balanced the strength of the various armies, and then took the opportunity to dispatch a large number of soldiers with the army after the Great Enke of the year. After the Yaoshan victory, Lu Yihao immediately wrote a letter requesting to rectify the messy situation of the previous ‘ambassador’, and then the Zhao official’s family took advantage of the situation and slapped everyone from Han Shizhong to Yue Fei to Li Yanxian.

This in itself is one more anti-corruption act.

As for the tax increase of robbing the rich and helping the poor, let alone what kind of counterattack and resistance will be caused by the fact that there are two cows in the family, it goes without saying.

Moreover, this kind of specific behavior directed at the wealthy class, coupled with the rudeness of the government in the feudal era, is likely to turn into an unrestrained, even enlarged, or even misplaced government.

If you say that your family's property is less than the tax limit, I think it has arrived! If you don't believe me, let us search for it?

It has nothing to do with Master Wang being Zhang Yasi's relatives in the county! Master Wang is poor, and you are rich! That pottery pot in your house is more valuable than the porcelain from the neighboring master Wang's house!

Oops, my hand slipped, but it doesn't matter, this door of your house is only worth three cents, I will pay you!

Your cow was a sick and dying cow when we went to lead it. How can it be counted as a live cow?

You have the final say, I have the final say? Don’t you know that Zhao Guan’s family is going to expedition to the north? Are you a spy for gold?

History has proven time and time again that when auditing methods rely entirely on manual work, this kind of wool-grabbing behavior that appears to be aimed only at the wealthy class often degenerates into a cruel persecution of middle-class families.

On the contrary, the real rich and powerful will avoid these.

Where did Zhao Jiu dare to easily agree?

But, therefore, Zhao Jiu's hesitation and hesitation does not mean that he has really rejected these suggestions. He is actually prepared to take these powerful measures under the circumstances of last resort.

He also believes that in this state of war, the imperial court has experienced the cleansing of the White Horse-Shaoxing change, and the suppression of the powerful imperial army, whether it is the real wealthy class or the home of the middle class, they will endure it.

Even this official has the dark thoughts of targeted robbery against some Tokyo-Nanyang-Yangzhou rich and powerful people when necessary.

The problem, however, is that those are all final solutions that have to be chosen as a last resort.

As a ruler, Zhao Jiu hopes to keep some bottom lines, and hopes to use more meticulous, more ingenious, and more sleek means to gather wealth in the Northern Expedition... This is the reason for the content that appeared in the latest issue of the Dibao.

But returning to the front, this time, following Xu Jing's words, Zhao Guan's really felt like opening a harmless golden finger.

Because he has already noticed that the universality of the things he just thought of just now comes from some institutional innovations in the period before the Industrial Revolution and after the end of the Middle Ages... These things do not require the powerful productivity of the post-Industrial Revolution as a basis. But it is definitely beyond the scope of the Middle Ages, and most of them are institutional innovations.

Therefore, these thoughts happen to be good things that can help the Song Dynasty in the heyday of the Middle Ages.

However, as Zhao Jiu's ordinary engineering dog, even if he knows a little about similar matters, he certainly doesn't have much.

Commercialization of royal qualifications;

Sea flag

Imprint tax

Northern Expedition Lottery;

Sea trade company system;

Northern Expedition Bonds;

Excess land tax;

Public auction of royal properties.

It was still early summer in April, in the morning, in the sultry stone pavilion in the harem. Prime Minister Zhao Ding, who urged him to eat a few mulberries so that the corners of his mouth were stained, put down the note in his hand, and then sat in the same place with a complex expression. No words.

It's not just him. The neighbors Zhang Jun, Deputy Minister Liu Ji, Deputy Envoy Chen Gui, Yushi Zhongcheng Li Guang, Shangshu Lin Jingmo of the Ministry of Households, and Hu Yin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, have basically similar situations.

This is not to say that people like Zhao Xianggong don't understand what these words say-this is a national event, and the Zhao official family on the opposite side is not here to pretend to be forced. The latter has already racked his brains to make a detailed explanation one by one.

However, it is precisely because of this that these people on the other side will find it incredible.

"How to say?"

It may be that he was afraid that these things he had put together would be rejected for some very naive reasons, so Zhao Jiu rarely had the calmness of the past, but could not help but urge it.

"Is it an official talent?" Zhang Deyuan, who was sitting on the stone bench, was the first to respond. "The ingenuity such as tax stamping is really amazing, and there are lottery tickets..."

Zhao Jiu rarely showed a trace of pride, but he was habitually solemn immediately.

The imprint tax is actually a stamp duty, but the Song Dynasty has always had a tradition of imprinting in addition to stamping, so it was changed to this name more in line with the times.

The specific meaning of stamp duty is actually very simple... After private sales reach the point where a contract needs to be concluded, whether it is buying or selling houses, land or bulk goods, or private loans, you can ask the court to stamp and draw a deposit. But taxes must be paid.

At least consistently, it is more in accordance with the value of the goods, one-thousandth, and the two parties pay together.

The beauty of this tax is that it is not a mandatory tax, but a voluntary tax, and it cleverly avoids the poor at the bottom.

After all, those who are truly qualified to make these contracts will not be the people at the bottom. In order to ensure the legalization of their property, these ordinary people, especially the ordinary people of the purchaser, often take the initiative to ask the seller to work with them to let the government stamp the seal and draw the pledge to ensure the legalization of the transaction and avoid future problems. Necessary disputes.

Imagine that you bought a house in Tokyo for one hundred and fifty pens to settle down, and you are going to pass it to your sons and grandchildren. The one hundred and fifty pens were spent, and you were not willing to pay the half penny... according to the market price, it was three. One hundred and seventy articles... Go and ask for a contract with the official seal to further ensure your ownership of this mansion?

What about another small bribe?

There is a difference between the official seal and the absence of official seals, a three-party contract and a two-party contract, which give people a different sense of security.

Given the people's superstition of government authority these days, they should be happy to rush to pay this tax.

It is indeed an ingenuity, and absolutely feasible!

On the other hand, just as Zhang Deyuan praised the imprint tax, the household minister Shangshu Lin Jingmo also made a conclusion on the imprint tax in his heart.

However, Lin Shangshu is different from others. He is recognized as a Nei Xiu. He not only made a final conclusion on the imposition tax, but he also noticed the essence of the paper given by Zhao Guanjia today, and promptly responded to the mood of many people present. With guesswork.

Let’s also say that the Zhao official’s family has done a lot of fancy things, but in essence it is nothing more than three categories.

First of all, not only the imperial tax, but also the northern expedition national debt, the sea flag, and the commercialization of royal qualifications. In essence, they exchange credit for money, but the first two are the credit of the entire court, and the last is the name of the royal family. The Haibiaoqi is a little more complicated, probably because the credibility of the court and the royal family is more than that.

But I have to admit that the imprint tax design is extremely ingenious, and the commercialization of royal qualifications and sea standard flags can be regarded as a kind of ingenious extensions with precedents, and the resistance should be very small.

As for the national debt of the Northern Expedition, it was the intended meaning of the title, and the Ministry of Household had put it on the agenda from the very beginning.

It is worth mentioning that with so many creditworthy products, the share of pure national debt can be further reduced to ensure that it stays within a safe share.

Secondly, it is the Haimao company.

This thing is obviously the result of the institutionalization and stabilization of the large fleet created by Zhang Jun and Zhang Boying... The Maritime Trade Guide has already alarmed the entire city of Tokyo, and it seems to echo this.

According to Zhao Guanjia’s explanation, not only the maritime merchants but also the cargo owners, not only Zhang Boying, even the royal family, the capitals representing the imperial court, and some high-ranking officials and powerful people can enter with their respective names and become owners.

Then everyone discussed, to reduce the company's resistance, and share the money together.

Doing so must be regarded as groundbreaking and has great benefits...because it can reduce risks and avoid internal friction caused by internal processes. In the past, both shippers and maritime merchants had to independently bear all risks. So they should be happy to do it.

Not to mention anything else, why did so many maritime merchants and cargo owners respond after Zhang Boying came forward that day? It shows the problem in itself.

However, to put it plainly, this thing is essentially fighting for the benefits of the people, or forcibly grabbing the benefits that originally belonged to the normal commodity trade of the people into the hands of the court, the royal family, and the powerful.

Only the idea of ​​profiting a hole was the fundamental guiding ideology of the imperial government's finances, and coupled with the overall situation of the Northern Expedition, it was nothing to say.

Next, let alone the lottery.

The imperial court did not allow the people to gambling privately, but through the Northern Expedition, they did something like this... how do you put it? It can be considered a hole.

There is also the excess land tax, which should have come from my own proposal that day, which is an improved variant of levying tax on the rich... After all, this year is still based on agriculture, as opposed to saying who is the rich for no reason. Forcing people to pay taxes and imposing additional land tax on large households whose land assets exceed a certain number is of course the most feasible way.

Because the fields are shiningly there, it is difficult to hide them.

Of course, even so, it is inevitable that slippery officials and dignitaries are playing tricks on Ueda and Shimoda.

It can only be said that this is the most relaxed attitude among the current forced tax increase plans after the Dibao published soliciting the opinions of Jucai.

Finally, the royal private property auction... This is more like what Zhao Guan's family can do.

In short, Lin Lin, Official Zhao really did their best, but how could the courtiers feel so embarrassed?

"Officials,"

Li Guang hesitated, but still made a serious voice. "The ministers look at the tax, the national debt of the Northern Expedition, the flag of the sea, and the royal qualification auction... They are all very ingenious designs, and the ministers admire them very much. However, the sea trade company is competing with the people for profit, and the lottery is ultimately a gambling, which hurts. Moral customs and the auction of the royal family’s private property will inevitably hurt the royal system. Additional land taxes will be levied on the property, and there will be some slippery officials. The minister thought that since there are the first four, the next few might as well take a look. What is the effectiveness of the previous plan, and then make plans."

It would be weird if the official agreed!

Facing Li Xiantai who interrupted his thoughts loudly, Lin Shang didn't change his writing and sneered in his heart.

"It would be weird if I promised Li Qing!" Zhao Jiu shook his head. "The Northern Expedition of the country is something we must do our best. How can we make plans again? Li Qing, really don't say anything about competing with the people and what kind of system... In front of the two rivers of thousands of people, the theory of competing with the people is too ridiculous. In the face of the shame of Jingkang, the royal and court systems are not worth anything! Moreover, the company system and lottery are also progressive, not just competing with the people for gain or losing the system. As for those who exceed 500 acres. Li Qing did not forget to levy additional land tax. I made these things because I did not want to impose additional taxes (stock property tax), but also meant to curb mergers...Qing had the intention to do this, it would be better for me to do it for me. Think of a way to prevent these big landlords from transferring the new Jiatian Fu to the tenants."

Li Guang sighed slightly, and said no more.

Although Lin Jingmo didn't speak, he sighed slightly in his heart.

In other words, it is not just Li Guang’s attitude of professional opponents raising questions, but also the mentality of many people present. This Lin Shangshu has guessed... Zhang Jun and Zhang Shu should be a little upset and uneasy, because he has always been an official. My confidant, this time it was indeed the preparations for the Northern Expedition that he presided over, and it became a big show. As a result, when it came to the most important financial work, there were many such excellent plans that had nothing to do with him.

At this moment, Zhang Xianggong, who first flattered a few words, and then was silent for a while, must be thinking, who on earth is making so many good ideas for the officials?

Was it really called by Di Bao? Is Di Bao really so useful?

If one question is spread, there are so many useful ways to come out so quickly? And all of them are more subtle than their own one-party designs?

As for the mentality of Zhao Ding and Zhao Xianggong, it should be between Li Guang and Zhang Jun.

On the one hand, I feel that some methods are still problematic, so I have a certain mentality of resistance, but on the other hand, as the prime minister, that is also the kind of gift of knowledge and experience given by the Zhao official family, the kind that can't be formed for eight lifetimes... Therefore, after Zhang Jun talked about the five things in person, Zhao Xianggong inevitably had some dignified prime ministers who could only be reduced to executors. Sorry for the preferential treatment of Zhao officials, and then a little uneasy.

Moreover, he certainly didn't know who was giving advice to our Zhao official family, and he was also suspicious.

Even Lin Shangshu himself has seen his own mentality. As a household secretary, as a core member of Zhang Jun’s party, and as an executor of financial construction work, he originally had the mentality of breaking the boat for the official family, but he didn’t expect it to be half-hearted. On the road, a Cheng Yaojin not only robbed him of his job, but he also had a better way than himself and had more of himself. Of course, he was a little uneasy and had a complicated mood.

However, unlike the others, Lin Shangshu is a figure inside the show. When other people are caught in various complex emotions, he has taken the lead in getting out and locked the biggest suspect.

That is, Hu Yin and Hu Mingzhong, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, who sat beside him silently!

I think that back then, Hu Mingzhong had already tried Shi Zhongcheng before he was released. After he went out, he was the transit agent of the Guanxi Fifth Road. When he came back, he was tied with himself and others, or even worse-the Ministry of Engineering was the most leisurely one. In addition to one rank, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu has too little real power compared to other Shangshu.

At that time, there were rumors in the court that Hu Mingzhong opposed the officials sending troops to Xixia, so that they were disgusted by the officials.

But Lin Jingmo sneered at this... Liu Ziyu still opposed to attacking Yaoshan. Wouldn't Zhao Guan's family still let him rise up? Moreover, no one has the details of how Hu Yin opposed the official dispatch of troops to Xixia. Instead, when the army swept the northwest, Hu Mingzhong worked diligently to ensure the logistical support in the early stage of the battle and his work was beautifully done.

Such a person.

On seniority, he was one of the three officials of Taixue that day, and he was the first batch of officials to be in the hands of the officials, and he was more senior than his own.

Regarding the position, before Hu Quan mastered the Di Bao, he was always the most radical person in the anti-golden position.

In terms of ethics, it is not comparable to Zhao Xianggong, is it not comparable to Zhang Xianggong's party, is it not comparable to yourself?

What is the execution and courage when people were given a whip, but they also seized the power of Qu Duan soldiers? Forcibly taking Wu Jieai and Yang Zheng to the capital and chopping it down, what is it? And don't forget that Han Shizhong, the first commander and king of Yan'an County, was the most convinced of Hu Mingzhong today, and the second commander, Yue Fei, the official's relative, was recommended by this person.

Such a person should have returned directly to the Xifu.

Of course, why didn’t he be the minister of the Western House? In addition to his age, Zhang Jun, who avoided the official’s first confidant and important minister, might also be an important reason...If Hu Yin had also entered the Privy Council and became the prince, with this character And strength, the drama between the three officials of Jingkang Taixue that day was definitely more exciting than "Water Margin"!

The Zhao official family obviously hoped to maintain the stability of the court, ensure the image of Zhao Ding Zhao Xianggong's reign and the banner of Princess Zhang Xiang, and then ensure the great cause of the Northern Expedition.

Even earlier, Hu Yin took the initiative to ask for release, allowing the Zhao official family to choose the more vulnerable and more compatible Nanyang party such as Liu Ji as the third party, fearing that there would be a tacit understanding between the monarch and the minister.

For this reason, it also attracted the famous admonition of Wanzuo, which made Wanzuo Yuanzhong jump up, which is another matter.

All in all, for such a confidant, when he comes back this time, the official Zhao family must be of great use. Putting it in the Ministry of Industry, which is basically nothing to do, is probably just to use him to do some important things... such as these specific plans for building wealth.

Just when everyone's mood is complicated.

On the other hand, the Zhao official family who was waiting for feedback became more and more uneasy...As the provider of the plan, or the provider of the copied plan, in the face of these confidantes who have rich ruling experience, naturally they have a little lack of confidence. I'm afraid that I made a big childish mistake that caused these people to react slightly strangely.

In comparison, how could he think that this is simply the method so subtle that none of these confidantes thought that this was a person from the Zhao official family who came up with it out of thin air, and they were all suspicious?

As for Hu Yin, if Zhao Guanjia knew that Lin Jingmo, who had been his secretary for several years, thought so, he would have to jump up and photograph the mulberries in front of him on his face!

First of all, this is really what Zhao Jiu came up with! Although he was suspected of cheating, he had come up with it himself!

Secondly, in a sense, Lin Jingmo was right...Zhao Jiu put Hu Yin in the Ministry of Engineering, where there is no job at all, and he really did his best.

It’s just that Zhao Jiu didn’t regard Hu Yin as a staff member at all. Instead, he regarded Hu Yin as a no-nonsense book. He had to take advantage of Hu Yin’s ethics, black face, and execution ability to treat the Ministry of Engineering as a secondary part of his preparations for the Northern Expedition. Execution center.

In the future, Hu Quan who holds the Dibao, Yu Yunwen who controls Qingmiao loan supervision power, and Mei Li who gradually becomes a commercial staff member, Zhao officials are also prepared to allow these people to connect with Hu Yin to a certain extent.

Of course, let’s not mention these things, just say that as the Zhao official’s persecution continued a little bit, since Zhao Ding and below, most people still expressed agreement or reluctantly approved attitudes, and the interrogation of related policies remained in disputes with the people. Advantages, or there is a lack of dignity to this extent.

This made Zhao Guanjia gradually relieved.

"You don't understand, I am really worried." After the ventilation, Zhao Jiu, who was a little relieved, twisted a mulberry, swallowed it, and then showed a tired face. "These days, I have almost been driven crazy by these thirty million gaps. I can't sleep all day and all night. If these methods can't be used, I really can only increase taxes on a large scale, and then set a ten million yuan. The share of the national debts of the Northern Expedition has been established. It is said that Nanyang, Yangzhou, Tokyo and other places should not be pointed at. Ann is accused of entanglement with Ersheng and rebellious, then made a conviction and publicly plundered..."

This is really too much, and it really seems like the Zhao official family can do it. Li Guang instinctively has to stand up to argue, but when he thinks that this is a hypothetical strategy, he can only sigh.

And Zhao Jiu continued to say: "But it's still the same sentence. Difficulties and obstacles are always worthwhile. As long as the two rivers and the national unity can be recovered, everything is worth it... There is a bit of prestige, let’s settle things down early, that's right."

A thousand words is the Northern Expedition.

Everyone glanced at each other, and then sighed in their hearts, but under the leadership of Prime Minister Zhao Ding, they got up one after another, saying that they would follow the edict.

So far, logically speaking, there is no need for Zhao Guan’s family to keep everyone.

Because next, Zhao Ding and others will take back the plan, and they will find professionals to discuss and analyze, and then come up with a real executable detailed rules. I am afraid that there will be discussions on the secret pavilion and the public pavilion. The announcement of the North Korean meeting, the warm-up and official promulgation of the Di Bao, etc...

There is still a lot to do.

However, Zhao Guanjia waved his hand again: "Sit down, there are two other things that have something to do with the Northern Expedition. They are also raising money. Please don't speak up, please take a closer look."

Zhao Ding and others were at a loss, but they could only sit back and wait for a while. Following the Hongyou Temple Qing Wang Lun and the Hongyou Temple Shaoqing Xu Jing, who took office only two days ago, entered here one after another, everyone. The important minister suddenly realized.

"Officials, Jin Fushi and Hei Tadashi have been waiting outside Yingyangmen for a long time... In addition, there is also a Tokyo merchant who has lived in Hakata Port, Japan for many years. I am afraid it is indispensable." Wang Lun is a serious minister after all. The imperial front reported very calmly, and Xu Jing, who followed Wang Lun, did not know why, although he was born in a family of officials and was supposed to be stage fright, he still frequently went to see the mulberry picking mulberry on a large scale from the moment he came in. Tang, quite rude.

Of course, Xu Jing certainly didn’t know that these mulberries were picked and sold to the main store outside Donghuamen. The main store took it or made wine, or pounded it into juice and added ice to sell it. If he wants to eat it, You will be able to buy it directly when you go out later.

However, where did Zhao Jiu take these into consideration and waved his hand directly: "Let Jin Fushi come in first."

Wang Lun responded and looked back at Xu Jing. Xu Jing, who had been staring at the fish pond, was stunned for a moment before reacting. He quickly turned around with an in-house attendant. After a while, he brought Jin Fushi with him.

Since Jin Fushi entered the Houyuan, it was rare for him to look at the mulberry-laden Mulberry Lin for a moment, but after all, he was a real elite of this era, but he immediately recovered as usual, and then followed Xu Jing and the housekeeper. Before the stone pavilion, calmly bowed his hands.

At this time, below Zhao Ding, the ministers wanted to get up in accordance with the etiquette, but Zhao Jiu waved their hands to stop them.

Not only that, the official didn't even give a seat, so he just sat and spoke to Jin Fushi who was standing there: "Jin Qing, this is the second time we have seen you. I know you are a rare person, and you too I know my temper, and you have been reading the Mansion Newspaper since you went ashore in Dengzhou, and you have been searching for people to inquire about prices. I am afraid that you are also clear about the situation here, so I won’t talk nonsense with you today. ..."

"The foreign minister asks the emperor of Song Dynasty to teach." Jin Fushi straightened up when he heard the words, arched his hands in a deep voice.

"First of all, I really pity Qing's talent!" Zhao Jiu looked at this person earnestly. "And I will never discriminate against Yu Qing just because Qing is a Korean citizen... If Qing can come, he will first become a Hanlin bachelor, fill my internal system, prepare me for consultation on northern affairs, and after the Northern Expedition is successful, there will be another minister or All the way, I will wait for Qing... If Qing is willing, come and sit down in the pavilion now, and share a bowl of mulberries with me and the masters, and then I will speak with the King of Korea and pick up your family. So far. How?"

Don't say that Jin Fushi was already dumbfounded in the middle. It was the people around him, from Zhao Ding Zhang Jun to Liu Ji Chen Gui, from Li Guang to Hu Yin, Lin Jingmo, Fan Zongyin, Lu Benzhongren Baozhong, and even Yang Yizhong Liu Yan and Langui were a bit gaffe ... It took a long time for Lan Gui to recover, and then motioned to the waiter to put another bowl of mulberries.

As for Wang Lun and Xu Jing, not to mention, especially the latter is already dumbfounded... I just thought about how many years it would take to eat this bowl of mulberries, but my old friend came up with this qualification.

In short, no one thought that this old-fashioned drama of seeking talents that only happened hundreds of years ago would appear here.

But everyone who understands the character of the Zhao official family knows that he is frivolous and that he is really an eclectic person, including Jin Fushi, who has already believed in it-this Zhao Song official is not joking.

And if things can be done today, I am afraid that it is the anecdote of the Zhao official family taking a bowl of mulberries, and countless notes and even official history will appear.

Gossip, it’s not too hot to return to the eyes, but it’s still a bit hot under the sun. It was Jin Fushi who made complete psychological preparations before leaving for this time. At this time, he was also a little shaky... This temptation was for him. It's really big!

A prince of Fanbang is essentially just the leader of the Kaijing (Seoul) squad in China, and at most he is a person who shares three parts of the world with the country's lord and the Xijing (Pyongyang) squad.

How can it be compared to a great country Shangshu? Comparable to the great powers along the way? Which major country is not more populous than Goryeo, and not richer than Goryeo?

In terms of the pursuit of Confucianism, the internal system of the Great Song Dynasty, the so-called Hanlin scholars, serving the emperor, and even today's Zhao official family's sincere plea for talents, has always been the inner dream of such people.

Even further, as far as the situation of the Song and Jin Dynasties is concerned, the next step is to stabilize the situation by the Kingdom of Jin, or the success of the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty... So from a special perspective, for the sake of the homeland, to become a close minister of the Emperor of Song Dynasty, in the future In the latter case, trying to preserve the homeland is not exactly what Jin Fushi wants to pursue now and even in the future?

In such a moment, Jin Fushi was about to go straight forward—as long as he stepped forward and sat down, he no longer had to worry about domestic party disputes, no longer have to fight with the country’s lord, and no longer think about how to clean up the domestic pickles. The monks' power can also better help the homeland avoid getting into trouble in the possible future, without delaying his personal development.

In fact, Jin Fushi really staggered forward.

But to say that this step made him wake up immediately, and then seriously handed over: "Thanks your Majesty Longen, the foreign minister is indebted to you, but the foreign minister has had a mind since he was studying decades ago. If you want to compile a history book of the Three Kingdoms of Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje, imitating the history books of the Han family, it will be difficult to write a book if you eat this bowl of mulberry, and compile a history book of the three kingdoms of Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje. "

Upon hearing this, there were some people inside and outside Shiting, who were relieved, some were in awe, and some were expressionless, but everyone followed the instructions of the Zhao official's house without a word.

The Zhao Guanjia was obviously disappointed, but he still nodded: "I don't force it, but the Qing wants to know... Since we are going to describe the Goryeo tradition, we have to bear the weight of the Goryeo national destiny."

"The foreign minister is natural." Jin Fushi raised his voice boldly, as if he had completely recovered from the previous shake. "The foreign minister is Goryeo Jae-in."

"That's good." Zhao Jiu also said sharply in the seat. "I know the purpose of Qing's trip, and I also know the attitude of Qing and Goryi behind him. But Jin Qing, you must know that Song and Jin are not at the same time... At the two ends of the first mouse of Goryeo today, although there is the helplessness of a small country, I can never I won’t have any pity for this. I only know how many courtesy I have given you, but you are only pushing back and forth. What's more, you have practiced before the Song Dynasty and the Jurchen! Goryeo must bring out enough things, otherwise one day, I will. If you can do it recklessly, you will definitely do it recklessly in order to repay all the infidelity that Goryeo has done so far!"

"The foreign minister thought that the officials would have the demeanor of the state." Jin Fushi was silent for a while before responding.

"If Zheng Zhichang said this, I would believe it. As far as you are concerned, I will just treat it as farting!" Zhao Jiu sternly responded. "I heard about the changes in Jingkang in Mingju that day, immediately returned to the country, and then suppressed Goryeo and made Goryeo surrender to Jurchen. Who is the one who praised Jurchen for capturing Ershengfeng's feat?"

Hearing this, Li Guang, who was still in awe, changed his color directly, and the rest of Song Wenwu was also a little bit unswerving.

However, Jin Fushi remained unchanged: "A small country with few people, how can it be possible to throw the whole country into the mouth in order to protect the face of a big country? What's more, the change of Jingkang was not caused by us Koreans."

"Then let's not talk about these nonsense... you must know what I want." Zhao Jiu Lianqing didn't bother to call it.

"The foreign minister knows." Jin Fushi sighed slightly, frowning. "But I am sorry for the foreign minister. Goryeo is so big, it is to let the market open. It is poor and small. How much can it benefit from Da Song? After all, it is useless for us Koreans to want so much silk and porcelain. Not food. If your Majesty is willing to sell some armor..."

"You can sell it to Jurchen!" Zhao Jiu suddenly interrupted the opponent coldly when he heard the last half sentence.

Inside and outside the stone pavilion, there was silence for a while.

Jin Fushi was stunned, obviously a little distrustful of his ears, but the next moment, he suddenly woke up, and even Zhao Ding and the others also woke up.

And Zhao Jiu repeated it expressionlessly: "The Jurchens have gold and silver, and the gold and silver in Tokyo and Central Plains are almost robbed by them! There are also nobles in Liaodong who have divided countless gold and silver! Of course, other than gold and silver. It would be even better if they could buy their horses and food, even fur can be made into military uniforms to keep out the cold! Good wood is also needed! But I only give you porcelain and silk! How big is the huge Golden Kingdom? Don’t you know the market of China? And instead of forcing you to go to war with the Jurchens, I also let you Koreans obtain a way to make money. Don’t you thank me for the grace?"

At the end of the speech, there was already a cold state.

When Jin Fushi heard this, he knew that he could no longer bargain, but he bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty God, the foreign minister must try hard when he goes back!"

"I have a private letter to Zheng Zhichang, let him help you, and a letter to your king, telling him that I made such a concession because of the face of Xueshi Zheng... You take it together. Go." Zhao Jiu waved directly when the other party agreed. "I'm tired today, you can go home early if you get the message!"

Having said that, Liu Yan stepped forward and delivered two small wooden boxes, but Jin Fushi heard the disgusting name, and his mood became more complicated.

But so what?

There is a small country, and I am really afraid that this is so ruthless that I have planted mulberry trees in his own Houyuan for four years, so that the mulberry can grow into a large scale Zhaoguan family will retaliate against Goryeo after the successful Northern Expedition in the future; the second is subject to internal party disputes, but is opposite The two leaders of the two classes in Xijing, one is a mad monk who thinks about beating Jurchens all day long to make contributions, and the other is a foolish poet who was so coaxed by the Zhao official family that he only regarded this cannibal official as a god... He Jin Fushi What if he is a self-proclaimed character?

In the end, his person could only take two wooden boxes, bowed slightly, and was carried away by Xu Jing with all his thoughts.

On the other hand, seeing this, Lin Shangshu came to his senses again. He can only say that the official and family committee of his own has the means to spot the small country and the few people in Korea, and is subject to the overall situation of the big country, so that it was clear in the past. Zheng Zhichang’s many efforts have been made today, but today he is forced to return to Jin Fushi, who is really worthy of the problem... Everyone knows how easy it is to work on Zheng Zhichang, but for Jin Fushi who is ambitious, capable, and courageous. Characters, how difficult it is to work hard.

I was thinking about it, but Xu Jing on the other side had gone and returned. There was a man with weird costume beside him, and a man with a shining brocade robe, although the costume was not weird.

The former is undoubtedly a Japanese envoy, while the latter is probably the first time a sea merchant who has come to this place to wear clothes randomly.

Before the two came to the front, the sea merchant shining in the sun bowed to Zhao Guan's five bodies from afar, and the middle-aged Japanese official who was called Ping Tadamori on the other side also hurriedly learned to salute the sea merchants, but he did not expect him. His movements were unfamiliar, and he was at a loss for a while. When he bowed down, he overturned the silk cone cap on the top of his head, and then revealed a weird bald haircut.

At this moment, the several important ministers in Shiting almost all frowned--because these people did not expect that the Japanese who used to respect the Tang culture, which was clearly recorded in the book, now actually learn from the Jurchens and the Dangxiang people. Naked forehead!

This makes them instinctively produce bad associations.

It was Zhao Jiu who was also stunned for a while, staring at this person's forehead... This made the Renbao Zhongrenshe who was behind him immediately adjusted his emotions and directly glared at the incoming person.

However, Nibo Tada would be wrong...Of course, Zhao Guanjia also had associations, but he did not think of Jurchens and Dangxiang people, but said that the official knew that the leader of the month was a representative of the Japanese samurai class. Sexuality, but I did a special survey a few days ago. I know that Japan is the emperor’s family doing what the emperor, the French emperor, the emperor, and then the situation of the family's internal struggle for power, so I always thought that the samurai class did not appear this year.

But taking the lead this month is more convincing than any words and research-the visitor, that is, Daisuke Kuniaka, whose Chinese characters clearly write the three characters of Heizhongsheng, although he did not bring a samurai sword and a wakazashi, there is no doubt He is a samurai, and the samurai has been able to protect the prefecture and serve as Daisuke of the middle affairs, and he can represent the Japanese imperial family to deal with this diplomatic disturbance.

Don't forget, Zhao Guan's family has played a lot of low-end games. He knows a little bit about the decline of the public family and the rise of the Wu family.

"Get up all, don't have to be polite, I don't rely on etiquette to be the emperor." At this point, Zhao Jiu burst into laughter.

The marine merchant first thanked him for his gratitude, stood up and then followed Xu Jing's reminder to wake up to his responsibilities, and then quickly aroused the people on the ground in Japanese.

"It's all said, don't have to be restrained, and the translator doesn't have to wait for me to finish speaking, just whisper it to him." Zhao Jiu asked again when he saw it, and his attitude was completely different from when he faced Jin Fushi before. "You come up and sit together."

Next, the Haishang was inexplicably grateful, thanked him again and again, and then realized his responsibilities under Xu Jing’s repeated reminders, but he was overly careful, until the two were seated carefully together, and Ping Zhongsheng also put on his hat again, and again After eating a bowl of mulberries clean, it gradually calmed down.

But he still didn't dare to look directly at Zhao Guan's house and the pile of purple-robed elders sitting on the other side.

It was already noon. Zhao Jiu forgot to look at the sky, and was not prepared to delay. After thinking a little bit, he asked the first question: "Thank you to translate, ask Pingqing for me, what is his hairstyle? How weird?"

And sure enough, after the Haishang translation passed, Ping Zhongsheng shook his head for a while, as Zhao Jiu thought, this hairstyle hasn’t been long since it appeared, and it’s mainly popular among the'martial men', but it was because when the pirates were fighting, it was all the year round. In the state of combat readiness, long hair is inconvenient to take care of, so I shaved it to deal with armor.

Of course, Zhao Jiu was awake to the term ‘wuren’, but he asked a few more questions.

As for Ping Zhongsheng, although it is not clear whether he was accustomed to being discriminated against in the country and missed the approachable people of Zhao Guan’s family, or because he landed from Dengzhou and came along the Yellow River along the way, I saw the imperial navy, the right army, the former army, the Chinese army, The water army is densely packed and I don't know the power of the hundreds of thousands of armored forces, and I have seen a city like Tokyo again. Anyway, it is honest, and you have to answer any questions.

According to Ping Tadamori, the so-called “warrior” was originally a military attache under the Japanese imperial system. A military attache cannot be a senior official in the inner hall. He himself is currently the only warrior who has obtained the qualifications of the inner hall. Things from last year. Of course, apart from the fact that they can't become nobles in the inner palace, the "warriors" are actually very active, and many of them have now become local county guards and low-level practical officials.

After these remarks, the important civil and military ministers and the nearby ministers looked subtle. Their political experience lies here. How can they not see that this is the Japanese imperial court's path to misfortune? The so-called warrior will make trouble sooner or later.

However, that's the end. The ministers were too lazy to care about the internal affairs of an island, and even Zhao Jiu just got a rough idea of ​​the situation and knew it well... After all, most people in Shiting only care about Japan. What help can it bring to Da Song?

And does Zhao Guanjia have a creative idea similar to the one he had just dealt with Goryeo?

"I know why Pingqing is here..."

Zhao Jiu suddenly smiled. "But before telling the matter, Qing must know one thing, that is, I am the emperor of Song Dynasty. Although he is fighting with the Jurchens, although he is a little poor, his territory is still ten times that of Japan, and his soldiers and horses are ten times that of Japan. The Chinese emperor... I say this, not to scare you, but to tell you that what I said is clear-cut and unquestionable! Ask him if he understands it?"

Following Haishang's translation, Na Ping Zhongsheng responded directly.

And with this ‘Hayi’, Zhao Jiu knew what the other party meant without having to translate, but finally got up in awe: "I said a plan. Come and listen..."

Having said that, Zhao Guan's house stopped a little bit and turned to Lu Benzhong's mouth. The latter immediately handed over a written document... Ping Zhongsheng could not understand Chinese, but he absolutely understood Chinese characters.

And Zhao Guan’s family did not stop at all: "Let him look at the text, listen to the translation, and directly ask if he doesn’t understand... I have asked some internal information these days about what is going on in the central political situation of Japan. The emperor abdicated and became The emperor, the emperor became the emperor, and the emperor forced the new emperor to abdicate and become the emperor. The emperor made a mess... I have no intention of these messy things, but I know that the so-called emperor Shirakawa has been dead for four years. Daquan, and Heiqing is a close friend of Emperor Toba... right?"

After waiting for the translation, Ping Zhongsheng nodded immediately.

"That's what I meant originally." Zhao Jiu spoke seriously. "I no longer demand the opening of the country in Japan, and normal private transactions will return to normal transactions. Da Song will no longer use warships to **** them, let alone force them. But think about it, you should also read the Dibao here and be able to understand it. I know that the Song Dynasty did have a military expenditure problem... So I hope to open up an official trade route specifically for the Song Dynasty court to exchange the copper coins of the Song Dynasty for Japanese gold and silver. By the way, I can get some sulfur as a supplement. Of course, other goods. Trade can also be traded... This is good for both parties!"

Ping Zhongsheng looked at the words on the paper in front of him, waited patiently for the translation to finish, and immediately wanted to speak.

Unexpectedly, the Zhao official’s family was a little impatient, and directly preempted the opponent and continued to say: “However, after meeting Pingqing, I have a new idea. From now on, I am determined to use this kind of transaction. The identity of the emperor made the Song Dynasty imperial and the Japanese imperial family, specifically speaking, to deal directly with the Emperor Toba...In other words, it is only the two of you, the Emperor Toba, and you, the Ping family! Because after today, Hing Qing He is the number one noble person in the world, and only I, and the number one noble person in Japan, the Emperor Toba, the only person who trusts together! Our special Zhunhei became the sole executor of this type of transaction in Japan! Others I don’t recognize people! This is me. It depends on Pingqing’s courage to venture far into the sea, and the personal grace given to Pingqing!"

Several important ministers looked different.

The Marine Merchant was obviously taken aback for a while, and only after a while, he turned his head to translate.

As for Ping Tadamori, after listening to the translation, it took a long time to come back to his senses, but then left his seat and kowtowed on the ground. Seeing what he meant, he agreed with all his strength... It was just that there were some problems in Japan when he came. I am willing to go back and work hard to solve these problems, and then persuade Emperor Toba to achieve this special precious metal business path between two noble people.

"Give him a knife!" Zhao Jiu immediately turned back and gestured to Yang Yizhong when he saw this. "Then tell him that when he returns, he can send a son to join the martial arts school and serve as my in-house servant, just as he said before that his father would serve as a guard for the Emperor Shirakawa... and tell him that in a few days, I will give the Japanese envoy. The regiment’s special hall ceremony let his entourage know that I treat him differently."

After some tossing, Ping Zhongsheng returned directly because he was grateful for Dade, and the surrounding civil servants could only sigh with the Zhao official's methods...Only Li Guang frowned a little, and he wanted to talk a few times, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

In this way, a few days later, unlike the Koreans who were hurried away, the Japanese mission really enjoyed the super-class treatment.

But let’s not mention this. Afterwards, the court made several amendments and debates, from the secret pavilion to the public pavilion, from the Shiting to the Wende Hall, whether it was under the impetus of the Zhao official family and the support of the rulers to pass This package is aimed at building wealth.

On the first day of May, relevant information was officially published on the front page of Di Bao:

The imprint tax and excess land tax will be officially implemented in June, and the Northern Expedition Special Treasury Bond will be issued on a trial basis of 500,000 units. As always, the national debt has all the privileges of the previous national debt.

Ten days later, another message was revealed at the end of the front page of the Di Bao:

The imperial court will form a sea trade company. Both the Zhao official family and the imperial court will have shares. The cabinet and foreign ministers, lords, Jiedu, commander and above will all have variable shares. Marine merchants and cargo owners are welcome to participate in it.

On the first day of late May, Di Bao mentioned one more thing in the second page:

In order to raise funds for the Northern Expedition, the Zhao Guan’s family decided to auction part of the royal collection in July. At the same time, in addition to the rewards reserved for the important ministers, the mansions that have been built in Tokyo’s Chengbei Jingyuan Half of the homes participated in this public sale.

Regardless of origin, the highest price will be paid, and the first come will be awarded. Everyone can be neighbors with Lu Gongxiang, Zhao, and Han Jun. There is only a wall between the residence of the two empress dowagers.

On the first day of June, at the same time that the imperial court began to implement the new tax, Di Bao published the news that the King of West Mongol had sent more than a dozen sons to serve the officials. At the same time, Hai Biaoqi and royal qualifications will also be included in the public sale. The news appeared on the Di Bao, half-concealed.

Before that, these two news had already spread out through specific channels.

As for the Northern Expedition Lottery, it has been trialled in Kaifeng Prefecture for more than half a month at this time, and the response has been so good that the Zhao official family had to learn from the story of the national debt that year, and specifically decreed that the household department was strictly prohibited from expanding its scale.

In July, before the auction started and many new trade channels were rewarded, with the arrival of the Dali envoy, Zhao Guan’s family had raised a large sum of more than two million yuan, and he sent all this money to The Ministry of Industry ordered Hu Yin, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, to choose suitable places and build the necessary storage equipment in preparation for the Northern Expedition.

Of course, this matter, according to Zhang Jun Jiancai's previous suggestion, also appeared publicly on the Di Bao.

So far, Zhang Xianggong's five strategies for the Northern Expedition, which Zhang Xianggong has learned from reading "Water Margin", have actually implemented or begun to implement all four strategies despite the opposition and attack. Only the memoirs of the two saints are still in a difficult situation. In the text.

In this regard, the Zhao official family is not in a hurry.

"What do you think of the brother?"

While Tokyo is in full swing, the city of Yenching, thousands of miles away, is inevitably cooler. That evening, the light has not yet completely dimmed, but the galaxy is already faintly visible, and it is under the galaxy and the sound of frogs. , Hong Ya, the provincial government of the Dajin Kingdom, slowly put down the mansion report, and then looked at his friend who was getting closer and closer to his side, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council of Dajin Kingdom, Qin Huizhi, who was the leader of Qin Hui.

The location was under the vines in Qin Huizhi’s own wide backyard. Naturally, he didn’t have to worry about anything, but Qin Huizhi, who was sitting only two feet away from Hongya, put down the herbal tea in his hand, and then asked under the light: "What do you think of Hong Chengzhi? ?"

"Xiaguan feels that Zhao Guan's series of tactics are somewhat opportunistic, and they seem to be acting in a cunning way." Hong Ya was serious. "I don't know why no one advises?"

"Who dares to persuade him in the presence of that official's power for seven years?" Qin Huizhi Wangtian shook his head. "As for you talking about tricks, I personally think that the so-called tricks are not based on the coincidence of the means... If the general situation is insufficient and the delusion is used to step up to the sky, it will naturally act with the treacherous way, and sooner or later will collapse; but if the general trend has accumulated For good reason, it is only three feet three from the sky, so lightly using tricks to reach the horizon, on the contrary, people admire him for being so powerful that he can't stop the sky!"

Hong Ya was startled slightly, and after some thoughts, he asked seriously, "Brother in that meeting thinks, is the general situation in the south side insufficient, or the general situation is already strong?"

"It depends on what you think 30 million cans are to this official's seven years of hard work?" Qin Huizhi still looked at the sky full of stars, and still did not give a positive answer.

But Hong Ya was finally impatient and couldn't help lowering his voice, and seriously asked: "Then the official can speak frankly... Brother of the meeting~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Do you think this official can be successful in three years?"

Qin Huizhi turned his head to look at Hong Ya, who had his head stretched out. He was silent for a long time before he asked, "Hong Chengzhi, after more than half a year, I have actually been thinking about the current situation in the south and the inner lining. There are so many officials. As a matter of fact, it was quite a state of arrogance that day..."

"Then it can't be done?" Hong Ya was surprised for a while.

"I didn't say that." Qin Hui shook his head seriously again. "In my opinion, the defeat of the mischief is not in his incompetence, not in his lack of good intentions, but in two places... One is that the Emperor Shenzong is shaken after all; the other is that the New Party rises too quickly, and the good and the bad are uneven; the third is that The old party has deep roots and concentrated effort... Therefore, instead of asking me what I think, Hong Chengzhi should ask himself, you are from the south, the official who was ordered by the official, what kind of person do you think he is and can you grit your teeth? Hold on, don't change course for the opposition? And the people he uses, how many loyal, how many traitors, how many are capable ministers, how many are traitors? If you know these two situations, you can easily come to the answer."

With that said, Qin Huizhi ignored the three things he said and only asked two things, but he looked at Hong Ya seriously, and waited for the answer from the other party.

And Hong Ya quickly went to the sky across the grape rack. After a long time of cognition and thinking, there was only Wangtian and a bitter smile: "The brother of the meeting is joking. Where does the official know about this?"

As he said, he slowly turned his head to look, only to find that Qin Xianggong, deputy envoy of the Privy Council of the Dajin Kingdom, Qin Huizhi, did not know when, and looked up at the sky.

It seems that this fellow can watch the stars and know the general trend of the world!

PS: Thanks to the 153rd cute glass bead and hero card... I made a noise a few days ago and didn't notice at all... I'm very sorry.

Then they sacrificed the new book "The Work of the Chess" on a routine basis
