Shao Song

"Shao Song ( to find the latest chapter!

In the 6th year of Jianyan, the first snow has arrived in Tokyo.

But when the first snow comes, it is not as romantic as the snowflakes on the ground. On the contrary, most of the snowflakes turn into snow when they fall on the ground, and they are intermittent, causing a moment of dampness and cold to hit the person.

You should know that people are not only afraid of heat and cold, but also the process of getting hot and cold themselves, and they also hate the untimeliness between weather and temperature, and right now, it is undoubtedly the worst state.

Therefore, on the day of the first snow, the bustling Tokyo city in the past immediately lay down, and Hanfang Garden in the north of the city posted a notice early in the morning to let spectators pay attention to the weather. The merchants and peddlers also avoided more for a while.

Of course, all kinds of warehouses and shops with facades must still be opened.

Under this circumstance, the shop assistants who carry food boxes, gift boxes, and even mule carts carry food all over the street are somewhat more agile.

That’s right, ordering, ordering, and delivering food that have been popular in Tokyo in the early years, now with the recovery of Tokyo’s population and the recovery of commerce, especially the attraction of the capital to the wealthy and wealthy, Tokyo is once again reappeared on a larger scale. ...This is because nowadays, it is not only done by the rich and powerful. According to the proposals and arrangements of the officials, from this autumn, in addition to the Taixue with its own cafeteria, six ministries, the Privy Council, and the imperial camp will be saved. The headquarters, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Wuxue and the Hanlin Academy all have officially funded free outsourced lunch services.

This is a small design with outstanding actual effect.

For some small officials and small officials who are not very rich in family resources, it is really rare to be able to use the delicacies of the main store during working hours. Some people even skip breakfast altogether for this reason... It can be regarded as a considerable increase in their centripetal force. And work efficiency; at the same time, Zhujiazhengdian is also very willing to compete for this qualification. It must be known that once a certain dish or certain dim sum is cooked on a large scale, the cost will also be greatly reduced. The so-called bidding price is too low to be profitable.

In addition, the main store that owns this business often has a better reputation and prosperous business because of the overall business. Many wealthy people rush to use the same dishes with the masters, so that they have a reputation. It's a re-booking business...It's that whoever sells it to the Provincial or Privy Council on any day, it will be found in the evening by the servants of the noble family to order this kind of takeaway.

There are even rumors that Zhao Guan’s family will randomly choose a main store that participates in outsourcing at will, and let people send lunch directly to the harem stone pavilion... Many of the main store’s helpers keep saying that they have delivered meals to Yiyoumen. ...And this kind of food is basically priceless.

Blew as if it were true.

But no matter what, this is a very effective means of buying people's hearts by the court when the finances are not rich enough.

However, this kind of thing is also troublesome, that is, these main stores that have outsourced the imperial government office usually have the royal guard directly notify the store of the result of the temporary lottery decision every morning. These stores come to know that they need to be specific at noon. Which yamen provide services.

As a result, at noon, the streets are full of food delivery mule carts with direct banners of the prince squad, and even the prime minister has to avoid the ceremonial ceremonies, otherwise the name of someone who treats colleagues and subordinates harshly will be spread out immediately.

According to unreliable rumors, an official from outside the county was originally scheduled to enter Beijing because he blocked the staff’s lunch car and allowed the entire staff to drink a half-cold batter soup and was driven to Guangnan West Road. .

The joke is this joke, and few people really believe it, but it still spread, and it did attract the attention of officials entering Beijing-this rule has only been implemented for more than half a month. It is said that foreign officials have dinner at the main store and provide supplementary food, including There are unspoken rules to use after noon in Wuyue view takeaway.

That evening, the first snow never stopped, and Lin Jingmo, Shangshu from the Ministry of Household, returned from the public house, thinking about whether to let his family order a sweet and sour fish that was used at noon, but unexpectedly as soon as he entered the house, he smelled the head nephew. I came to the newspaper, saying that it was Lin’s family friend and the nephew of Jiangning Mei’s nephew Mei Li came after lunch, and had been sitting for an afternoon... Lin Shangshu was slightly startled, and immediately woke up, and asked this nephew to order sweet and sour fish. While hurriedly let the junior surnamed Mei come over.

It turned out that Lin Shangshu was born as a Jinshi in Jianyan three years after his birth. As a result of the first large-scale recruitment of scholars after Zhao Guan's ascended the throne, that batch of Jinshi is particularly conspicuous in the political landscape of the court.

Not to mention anything else, in this mere three years, three people have directly become number one in the court.

The first is to master the ever-increasing and powerful Dibao system, with low position and power, faintly named as Hu Yin and Hu Hongxiu, Hu Quan, known as the Sanhu (Of course, there are also four Hus, but Hu Quan is the younger brother of Hu Yin. Hu Hong forcibly stuffed in)...This person's actions are enough to directly affect the political situation.

Secondly, Tanhua Lang Yu Yunwen, who is also of the same humble power, holds the military statistics department, which is not weak in power. What is more terrible is his deep background. His father is a relative of Zhang Jun, the minister of the court, and of course he is also Zhang Jun. Jun's family, and his father-in-law is Zhang Rong, one of the handsome officials...Speaking of which, Xiaoyu Tanhua is theoretically a subordinate of Lin Shangshu.

As for the last person, of course, it was Zhao Boyao, who was the number one scholar in that period. He himself was a distant branch clan and the widow of his father-in-law Wang Xianggong. Now he has already ended his Zhengzhou judgement resume and returned to the center. According to the current imperial court’s simplification and transformation of various duties into reality, this person should directly worship as a housekeeper or simply a bachelor, and then study history while raising expectations in front of the official family. The future is better than that. Hu Quan and Yu Yunwen still need to be safe, and the rare official career is called an upright and bright.

As for Yue Fei and Qu Duan in the same period, it doesn't matter.

Mei Maoxiu, who was second in the second class, was certainly among the best after being the family friend of Bachelor of Lin. He was awarded a contract for Wuweijun that day. Later, due to problems of manpower and expertise, he was taken by Lu Yihao during the period when Lu Yihao was in charge of the affairs of Zhejiang and Zhejiang. Lin Shangshu, who used to be a Kobayashi bachelor, directly recommended him and was transferred to Shibo Sibo. Now he has been serving for three years, but he was personally named by the Zhao official family. After this wave of personnel transfers, he was selected and transferred back to the capital.

Of course, I am afraid that this Lin Shangshu's participation is still indispensable... Therefore, in the sense of the secular officialdom, this person can be regarded as a person in Lin Shangshu's entrainment, or the kind of political resources for each other.

It was also unusual for this person to come to visit Lin Jingmo after submitting official procedures.

Not to gossip, the two sides met in the hall, served hot tea with **** syrup and milk skin, and took their seats. Although this Mei Tiju is young and promising, the temperament is not in the scholarly class, but Lin Shangshu has experienced many years of internal production, plus A managerial ambassador, after all, is better-bearer... The two chatted a few words, and they didn't fall into the common sayings. They only talked about the style of the hometown, local anecdotes, weather and seasons, and literary poetry.

However, when it comes to breaking the sky, the two are also standard bureaucrats, and they are a political party, so they can't hide from business.

"The public opinion in the South is quite different from that of the Central Plains. Can anyone say about the political situation of the country?" Lin Shangshu, who was sitting in the main seat and holding a cup of hot milk tea, asked casually.

Mei Ti gave a little thought, but laughed: "So that the uncle of the world knows that Li Xianggong (Li Gang) is there, and he can't control his mouth. Besides, the Daoxue line is now mostly to the famous mountains and rivers in the south, and the white horse is Shaoxing. After the incident, the number of officials returning from various places was also from the south... even Lu Xianggong (Lu Yihao) couldn't control so many people, so why not talk about the country, regardless of the political situation?"

"What are you talking about?"

"After borrowing monasteries, wealthy merchants, and relatives to issue loans, and after collecting deposits and deposits from these people to expand their subordinates, people in the south immediately said that this is actually Wang Shu Wang’s young crop loan reappearing in the world, but the officials know that the servants are not dependent. It’s just that the original usurers of the folks have chosen to work together to issue young crop loans... or they are taking the benefits of the people, or there is a suspicion of losing control and causing disaster." Mei Tiju hurriedly introduced. "but……"

"What does the nephew think?" Lin Shangshu interrupted the other person suddenly, then sipped tea and waited. "How do the wise nephews view their discussion?"

Mei Maoxiu hesitated for a moment, and after all, he was still serious: "My nephew's opinion is actually similar to theirs. It's still a young crop loan. It's just that the government has some new ideas. Knowing that the government can't get through, the government supervises the private affairs. And since it is a superintendent, For this kind of thing, weaker supervision or collusion between the government and the people, it is doomed to lose control of the past... However, my nephew thinks that even so, we still have to do it, not because of choking, especially if the country has to do things, it is financially indispensable. demand."

Lin Shangshu nodded, not commenting on his decision, his esteemed ministers became more vigorous: "Apart from this matter? What big issues are there in the South?"

"In addition to this, of course it is the great debate triggered by the destruction of Xixia in the Kingdom." Mei Maoxiu immediately responded. "And on this matter, the discussion process in the South is divided into three parts because of the news ahead..."

Lin Shangshu laughed when he heard the words, as if he knew instantly.

But Mei Li loves to know that her uncle’s inner show has awakened, but she still had to talk with a smile:

"At the beginning, the court suddenly moved troops in the northwest. Naturally, the whole Jiangnan was worried. Various academies were beating their chests and feet. They were only worried that the officials would have lost Yaoshan's victory. Then, the court suddenly swept the northwest, not only taking Xixia. , They will still allied with Jinhebo, but they made the noise up and down again. Many people directly followed the Dibao and turned the wind direction, bluntly saying that the officials and the court were strategizing, very clever and unworkable, and the imperial soldiers and horses were also elite enough to be able to ride on Jurchen. But later, the Northwest Third Road was reorganized. There were only 3 million people in Xixia, and the number of 60,000 to 70,000 standing soldiers and horses was published by the Dibao, plus... plus the later Shanghe incident and Yang Zhengzhi's case... they did. It is also said that Xixia is not as strong as the Puppet Qi. When the Jinren retreated to accumulate power, the court took advantage of the vacancy and entered. Once successful, it does not mean that the military of the dynasty has been strong enough to be comparable to the Jinren, but this is so. The argument itself is actually powerless...because the announcements in their own academy all say, if Xixia is so weak, why can't it be captured for a hundred years before?"

"These people!" Lin Jingmo shook his head and smiled after listening. "It's not that they're not clever, it's not that they're unfaithful, it's that it's not that they don't have ethics and morals, but they don't understand military affairs, and they think that fighting is as absurd as they think... But it's not to blame them. How can they understand war without experiencing war? Today's Hu Shangshu, who would dare to say that he didn't know the soldiers? The key is that these people are timid to get up early, and at first they are unwilling to follow the officials to face the difficulties. This gradually drifts away, and finally gradually becomes nonsense."

"What Uncle Shi said is quite true." Mei Li responded at the time, but he was serious about it. "However, these discussions have spawned some affairs... It is said that Li Xianggong took the lead and hoped to open a private mansion in the south. However, under the banner of exchange Daoism, it was only suppressed by Lu Xianggong... But Li Xianggong Perseverance, it is said that he is going to write to the court directly, please open a national newspaper ban, so that he can establish a Southern newspaper system."

Lin Jingmo hesitated for a while, then laughed again, but changed the subject directly: "Do you know that Yuan Sheng gave the official Ping Xia a watch from Hangzhou Dongxiao Palace?"

"Naturally know that Yuan Sheng is young after all... after two years in Dongxiao Palace, he can't stand it anymore." Mei Li smiled hard. "It's the relatives of the emperors in Nanyang and Yangzhou, who are also rioting, please return to Tokyo?"

Lin Jingmo laughed: "It was returned as it was by the official, and so did the Nanyang. The Yangzhou official said a few good things, which gave the Queen Mother Yuanyou a lot of face."

Mei Li was finally silent.

In any case, as a newly promoted official who only hurriedly met Zhao's family in the palace exam, although he had heard many stories about his own emperor, he always reminded himself rationally that those stories were too false and exaggerated to a certain extent. But at this time, facing the important minister of Lin Shangshu's level, or the important minister who had such friendship with his own family, and personally said the secrets of the royal family of this level, he had to face an unthinkable reality, that is, this This official is indeed an official who dares to speak and dare to do nothing-to throw his brother's congratulatory form directly back in person is not too particular about it.

And when I entered Beijing this time, I probably wanted to stay in the capital to do things, and in all likelihood, I would want to be a homeless man, and then face this indifferent official.

Even more directly, why did you come to see your uncle today? Didn't you expect the other party to be the confidant of the former official and the important minister of the imperial court today to teach one or two things to teach yourself how to face the sage of today?

In fact, Lin Shangshu is indeed teaching.

"Nice nephew." Lin Jingmo saw this and continued to say sternly. "Do you know which part of you the court is going to use when you enter Beijing this time?"

"Should it be for trade?" Mei Li returned to his senses and quickly replied. "Since the imperial court opened the two major cities of Lanzhou and Hetao, it naturally wanted to establish a headquarter here in the central household department, linking up the Western Regions, grasslands, Southeast Asia, Japan, and Korea...with China living in it and paying its benefits, and paying its benefits. His trip, and then besieged the Jurchen captives. My nephew thought..."

"That's right, and it's good." Lin Jing nodded slightly. "But there is no need to elaborate here. I am a book for the Ministry of Households. Sooner or later, these words of yours will be turned into official documents and sent to my desk at the Ministry of Households... Live, say whatever you know, say whatever you know, don’t try to guess, deliberately greet you, although officials occasionally come up, they are fundamentally intelligent and powerful, and they understand everything."

Hearing this, Mei Ti raised his heart, and instinctively got up and bowed in the hall to salute.

At the same time, Lin Shangshu just picked up the cold milk tea, swallowed slightly, and suddenly waved his sleeves: "Our two are family friends, and your uncle and my eldest brother are close friends and in-laws, but I Now that you have become the official book of the Ministry of Households, you are a newcomer to the Secret Pavilion. You are a newcomer who returned to Beijing to take office. Before you were granted an official position, it was not easy to keep you at home for suspicion. You waited in the front hall and waited for your brother to return. A portion of sweet and sour fish, go back to the official post earlier and wait for the edict."

Mei Li was caught off guard when he heard the words, and was a little flustered... After all, although there were some obvious points in this exchange, the most critical issue was the three major cases in the capital, but the other party only vaguely said one thing. For the other two major events involving the imperial generals, his uncle didn't have any words at all.

If this is mentioned in the face of the saint, how should I respond when the time comes?

Just tell the truth?

However, when she was puzzled in her mind, Mei Li didn't dare to say much, especially the other party did not say nothing, so she had to suppress her anxiety and respectfully bid her farewell, and then she waited for a sweet and sour fish takeaway at the concierge and returned with her.

The next day, the snow stopped for a whole day, but after another day, it started to fall again. The dampness and cold continued to cause trouble, and another day later, that is, on the last day of October, Mei Tiju Suddenly, he was summoned, saying that the officials were finally about to summon him.

Mei Li didn't dare to neglect. Although he knew that he might be disliked, he couldn't help but fix his eyebrows according to the habit. Then he went to Donghuamen and turned to the provincial government... At this time, Mei Tiju knew that the official too I'm busy, but I actually called five people at the same time, including Zhao Boyao, the top scholar in the same department, Chao Gongwu, the top second in the same department, and a restless imperial naval commander Cui Commander. Huang Tongpan from the border county came from northern Shaanxi.

Obviously, the five people are all here to clarify their positions, and the future of the five people will also be determined in one word in the face. This is already very nervous.

In fact, the last two of the five people may have been fidgeting because of their birth and the first time they met, but the top three of the top three scholars in the same discipline are also obviously uneasy...because they are already keenly aware I am afraid that my group of people will have to face some complex and sensitive issues directly when they get together.

The five were uneasy to mention that they had used the working meal...but it was still sweet and sour fish...when they set off together to the famous place in the harem in the afternoon, the sky gradually darkened, but the intermittent snowflakes began again.

It is estimated that the Cuju game in Hanfangyuan will be delayed again.

"Zhengzhou passed sentence to Zhao Boyao, Mizhou sentenced to sign Chao Gongwu, the two-fold economic strategy Si Tiju Wenzhou ship Si Mei Li, the imperial navy commander Cui Bangbi, Qingzhou Tong sentence Huang Sheng..."

The summoning ceremony was exceptionally simple. Fan Zongyin, a scholar of Hanlin, went forward to check the list with the officials of the provincial capital, and led five people to the stone pavilion. Then Lan Gui, the provincial guardian of the internal department, came forward and shouted and summoned to the list one by one. After getting the response, he immediately turned back and reported. "Officials, five people have arrived today!"

"It's snowing, go into the pavilion and sit down!"

Everyone heard this, and they knew it was the official language. They hurriedly thanked them for their gratitude, and then they entered the pavilion nervously. Under the attention of many housekeepers, bachelors, only soldiers, soldiers, and military officers, they carefully sat across from Zhao's official house-here stone. There was no soft cushion on the stool, but it was warm. It wasn't that someone was scorching hot, but that the earth dragon was obviously burned under the stone pavilion and the surrounding underground.

The five people are always here for the first time, but they all know about it, because this incident was reported in the mansion about the beginning of winter. Someone once objected...not against the heating of this famous stone pavilion. It is opposed to the use of earth dragons, because earth dragons obviously learned to cook on their own kang, which was brought by the Jurchens.

And the Di Bao published some remarks about'use it and use it'. Starting from Zhao Wuling and Wang Hu Fuqi, Haosheng refuted the opponents.

So everyone knows that Zhao Guan's family burned the earth dragon in a pavilion in the harem.

Then, the entire North and Central Plains became popular, and even in the South, there were nerves to imitate.

Not to mention the earth dragon, just to say that the moment they sat down, the five of them were almost as spiritual as they were. They secretly raised their heads and glanced at the Zhao official's house who had just dropped some documents, and then quickly lowered their heads, just hurriedly went to see what was already under the stone bench. Cracked slate patterns...These patterns have been seen and studied by many people in a few years, and I am afraid they will continue to be seen in the future.

"You don't have to be so formal, and you don't have to get up. If I have a question, you can answer it."

Of course, Zhao Jiu, who was wearing a cotton robe, noticed the small movements of the five people on the opposite side, but after seeing too much, he didn't even bother to complain. "Bo Yao should have been in winter before he left Zhengzhou. Do you know if the people along the way are feeling discouraged?"

"The officials are joking!" Zhao Boyao was shocked, and quickly raised his head to answer. "Zhengzhou is said to be another state, in fact, it is almost the same as in recent times. If the people along the way in this place are in a state of frustration, what about the world?"

"Yes." Zhao Jiu nodded, then sighed slightly. "This question is a bit ridiculous. In fact, after the snowfall the day before yesterday, I even went to Huazhou.... The Yellow River line is mostly villages that have been converted from military camps. The cold weather is good. On the contrary, it is the neighboring states. In Chengda City, some urban poor people lacked firewood and were froze... Although Taizong's act of giving charcoal in the snow was still a way to buy people's hearts, when you think about it carefully, from the side of the poor, it is a life-saving act, which is enough to be praised."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Boyao pretended that he had not heard the four words "buying people's hearts", but just complimented: "The officials have this heart, it can be said that they are in the same line."

But Zhao Guan’s family immediately said solemnly: "Bo Yao, things are like this. After the death of Xixia, historical materials were also seized. I have the heart to add you to the Hanlin scholar and leave you to study "History of Xixia", but apart from this, I still have to work. ...I will allocate some coal and grain for you, and you will patrol the nearby surrounding areas on behalf of me, and use work for relief as appropriate, so as to avoid freezing to death as few people as possible."

"This is a benevolent government, the officials dare not follow orders!" Zhao Boyao immediately responded, but hesitated.

"What?" Zhao Jiu knows of course.

"Officials." Zhao Boyao was cautiously facing each other. "Whether it is to study history or to patrol for relief, it is a first-class errand. Since the ministers are ordered, they are naturally speechless, but this time they are directly transferred to the internal system. It is too much of love... Jingkang's former Xinke Jinshi returned to the place where he was appointed. Cabinet position, never so fast."

"Then what do you want?"

"The minister took the liberty of being an official's relief, but it was still a place."

Zhao Jiu thought for a while, and immediately nodded: "Alright! It is very appropriate for you to have this heart! The result of this relief is that if you do a good job, you can go directly to Zhengyin in any state."

Zhao Boyao was overjoyed... Obviously, this official was very gracious to his first champion and son-in-law who died in the country. Of course, there is also the reason why this champion understands current affairs.

You must know that the court has always been dissatisfied with the simple and rude practice of cleaning up the pavilions and directly merging the two classes of Weisheren and Bachelor, especially as the new scholars gradually turned to the center. Once they directly jumped to the ranks of Sheren and Bachelor, it was inevitable. There are some suspicions of fortunately, and if purely studying history is idle, this official has always paid attention to service, and first he himself became dissatisfied.

Therefore, this champion has made a good start by appointing a foreigner.

After a word, Zhao Jiu looked directly at the second person: "Chao Qing."

"The minister is here."

"Many people below say that you are very knowledgeable about writing skills. I have the intention to ask you to add the title of Sheren to become Bo Yao's deputy, and then you say that you want to study history or go to the place..."

"Chen..." Chao Gongwu was nervous for a while, but he didn't dare to hesitate. "The minister really wants to study history."

"Yes!" Zhao Jiu nodded, but didn't know how to think.

"Thank you..." Chao Gongwu hurriedly wanted to thank you.

But at this moment, the Zhao official family suddenly interrupted the other party: "You are in Mizhou, do you know about Zhang Zongyan sending troops without authorization?"

As soon as this statement was made, the atmosphere inside and outside Shiting suddenly stagnated.

Moreover, the three most discussed things in Tokyo today are the so-called three winter cases-one is the case of Pan Guozhang's cousin selling the share of national debt privately in advance; the other is the killing of Yang Zheng, the army of the imperial army, Wu Jieai. The concubine skinning case; and the last one, and the most controversial, was Zhang Zongyan, the commander under the command of Zhang Jun of the Yuying You Army, who crossed the Yellow River without authorization and sent troops in October, but was defeated by Jurchen Wang Bolong in the Shanghe of Dizhou. The defeated case.

In the three cases, the first one involved foreign relatives and national debt even though it was a private financial obsession, while the latter two simply involved the most sensitive imperial battalions and commanders, and it is likely to affect the basic policies of the court in the past two years... One is simple. And every case is controversial, even in the case of Yang Zheng, someone pleaded for the credit of pacifying Xixia, let alone Zhang Zongyan here.

However, at the same time, the principal offenders in the three cases have all been sent to jail, and it is also true that each case has corresponding opinions requiring severe punishment.

And this matter is also the most feared topic of the magistrates here.

"Your Majesty." Chao Gongwu was nervous, but quickly answered. "Zhang Zongyan's dispatch of soldiers and horses and the use of materials, of course, the minister knows that Mizhou has provided him with a stock of civilians and ordnance early, and not only the minister knows, not many people in Jingdong don't know...but the minister and Liu Zhizhou at that time I just thought he was... he was..."

"What is he?" Zhao Jiu urged.

"He was fighting for supplies between the Yuying Youjun and the Yuying Navy. Who would have thought that he would take the initiative to cross the river to fight Dizhou?" Chao Gongwu bowed his head and faced each other. "But when I think about it carefully at this time, the ministers were also confused at the time... With the military exploits of the imperial army, the left army, the rear army, and the cavalry on the western front, it is normal for Zhang Zongyan to be unable to control it. It should be prevented...this is the minister's negligence."

Zhao Jiu was noncommittal and looked directly at Cui Bangbi: "Commander Cui, how about you?"

"The ministers waiting for the imperial naval division even thought so." Cui Bangbi replied immediately. "After Li Tongzhi (Li Bao) learned that Laizhou's munitions inventory had been emptied, he almost had to fight with Yuying You... Your Majesty should be aware of this."

Zhao Jiu shook his head again when he heard the words: "In fact, I can't blame you for this. I'm so guessing, but once I guessed it, who would have thought that he would be so bold? For nothing, so many imperial soldiers, Yaoshan. The morale accumulated later was vented a lot in vain."

A few young people who reported their duties did not mention it, and the surrounding ministers were much silent... Zhao Guanjia's meaning was obviously to be dealt with severely.

"What about you, Huang Tongjuan, you are the old acquaintance of Hu Shangshu and Wu Dutong, and you have been neighbors with Yang Zheng for a few years. Do you know what attitude is towards Yang Zheng in northern Shaanxi?"

"Naturally..." Huang surnamed Tongjuan instinctively got up when he heard the words, but when he saw the official's calm face, he was shocked and immediately changed his words. "Naturally, most people want to intercede. They all say that the official killed a hero for a woman. It's too much, and Hu Shangshu is too harsh."

Zhao Jiu nodded and was still noncommittal. In fact, he made up his mind on these three cases from the beginning, and Yang Zheng had made a decision early on the matter, only to see if the surname Huang was honest.

Regardless of whether this person reacted or was honest, he didn't need to go into it.

At this point, Zhao Guanjiafu looked at the last person again: "Mei Tiju... I heard that you translated a miscellaneous book from barbarians? What is going on? Can you learn a language in two years?"

It was his turn, even if he had rehearsed it thousands of times in his heart, Mei Li was still extremely nervous, not to mention how he thought that the official would start asking about this, but he still remembered the reminder of his uncle, telling the truth:

"So that the officials know that when the minister was young, his father was in Quanzhou. At that time, the house was next to the big food store and learned some big cannibalism. Later, he raised the Shibosi Division and came into contact with them again. I can recognize it, but I can’t hear it anymore, so I took this as an exercise to restore my diary nature..."

Zhao Jiu nodded and asked again: "Qing is in Wenzhou, next to Fujian, are there many infanticide practices there?"

Mei Li's heart became more and more panic, but according to Lin Shangshu's reminder, he bit the bullet and continued to tell the truth: "There hasn't been much change."

"Why is infanticide so prominent in Fujian?" Zhao Jiu's expression remained unchanged.

"So that the officials know that there are few people in Fujian's fields, and the family's fortunes are only those. Once more children are born, the scholar's family will not be able to raise them, so they will simply drown at the time... For example, Hu Shangshu (Hu Yin) back then I almost drowned, but was saved by Professor Hu (Hu Anguo)."

"Hu Yin?"

"Yes."

"Then all the way north... south and north, do you think there is any difference in people's livelihood?"

"..."

"Why don't you speak?"

"Returning to the officials, there are differences between the North and the South... The people in the South are more concerned about the weight of taxes, and the people in the North are more concerned about the lack of materials."

"That's right." Zhao Jiu finally sighed. "The north has experienced wars, military garrisons, and land grants. The main problem is how to resume production when the population is declining. This is not something that Tokyo can change by gathering the best of the whole country; the south is the other way around, crowded with too many people, like taxes. The main contradiction lies in how to maintain survival... But the most important point is that the people of the North and the South are actually difficult to livelihood. However, some people only care about their military merits and only think that Xixia, which has a population of 3 million, has been destroyed. Some people, as soon as they are born, are guilty of old problems, always demanding indefinitely... As everyone knows, the reason why the people did not immediately rise up to rebellion is that they have only been suppressed for a few days in the south, and they have fear in their hearts, but in the north, it is It was once ten rooms and nine empty spaces, and the patience was a little higher."

Whether it is Mei Li or Zhao Boyao, these five people are either clear or related. They each thought of something, but they didn't dare to speak.

The surrounding ministers were even more certain that Zhao Guanjia was determined to deal with the three major cases severely.

After a pause, Zhao Guanjia asked again: "Are there still deserted in the south?"

"Yes, but compared with the previous two years, there are very few." Mei Li became more honest.

"From the Shibosi Division, Lu Xianggong came to memorialize and said that setting up a fragrant medicine market to specialize in monopoly, do you think there can be profit?" Zhao Guanjia couldn't ask.

"It should be possible... The fragrant medicine is mostly requested by the wealthy and wealthy. A slight increase in price should still be able to make some extra profit."

"About how much?"

"The minister took the liberty to guess that if it is set up everywhere, it can increase by two or three million yuan a year, and then it will increase year by year, and finally stop at the upper limit of about 500,000 yuan."

"Not a lot. The previous income of the Shibosi Division was only 1.2 million 300 thousand yuan."

"Yes...but the imperial court will destroy Xixia, communicate with the Western Regions, and add grassland tea and horses, which can help the country's overall commerce and trade. If it can't be said in the next few years, Shibosi Jinyi will be no matter how fragrant medicine is. Up a little bit."

"The country's most important task is still finances..." Zhao Guanjia nodded, obviously impressed with this person's honesty and was extremely satisfied. "Hubei Lin Shangshu recommended you, because you are a rare person who knows the fundamentals of finance and commerce. I am honest with you when I see you today... First, I will put up a post and write about how to link east, west, north and south commerce to make the country a little profitable. Tiao Chen, come here!"

"The minister will follow the order."

"Cui Qing... you add a deputy commander title first, and then go back and tell Li Bao that I know what he means, but now that the navy needs money to expand, I can't change it in vain, let him stay calm. ."

"Here!"

"Huang Qing..."

Zhao Guanjia nodded ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Just about to continue, but unexpectedly, among the thin snowflakes on the other side, Yang Yizhong hurriedly arrived, with a grim expression, and directly handed a box to Lan Gui, and whispered a little. , Lan Gui hesitated for a while, but he interrupted Zhao Guan's summon for the first time, and bowed down to offer the box.

Zhao Jiu felt strange, but he still went to look directly at the stone table, but as soon as he opened the box, before he had time to open the silk silk inside, the official Lan next to him reluctantly explained it cautiously:

"It was the Emperor Taishang Daojun who sent the congratulatory form, claiming that the official family of He had destroyed Xixia... It was probably the matter of the Saint Emperor Taishangyuan who sent the form of the congratulatory form to the Emperor Daojun, but he didn't know that the official family had been sealed off. "

Zhao Jiu was startled, and immediately furious, without looking at the contents, regardless of the five ministers in front of him and countless nearby ministers, he directly took out the silk from the box and tried to tear it.

However, the silk was tough, and Zhao Guan’s family was a waste. He didn’t tear it apart for a while, so he simply stretched out his hand from the waist and took out a sharp dagger from an unknown place, and then placed the congratulatory dagger on the stone table. There was a lot of confusion.

Then, after Zhao Guan's gasped for a breath, he stuffed the mess of silk fragments back into the box, and then handed it to the official Lan who had already frightened his side: "It's still the old rules, send it back as it is! By the way, I will go with Shaolin Temple The monks in the monks asked them, "Is the Taishang Taoist emperor not having to recite the scriptures and pray for in-depth study of Buddhism? How can I still use the pen and ink?! I will kill Xixia by myself and do his bird work?! One or two," All come to congratulate?!"

The five ministers in front of them who had been serving as officers and soldiers in the local area were already dumbfounded, but they were all dumbfounded and dare not say anything.
