The Song and Liao banned any trade exchanges, but the facts could not be banned. The two countries had serious smuggling situations since the Later Zhou Dynasty, and the two countries had different mentalities. For example, what the Khitans did not want to smuggle a large number of war horses to the Song people, and what they wanted to smuggle lake salt into the Song territory. Salt was produced in the Khitan territory, and lake salt was not needed to be boiled or dried, and they could be eaten after knocking. And it was very successful, which led to the Song Dynasty's inability to implement salt in Hebei. Even if it was implemented, it also failed because the Khitan salt was smuggled southward. However, there was also an unsuccessful side, and many war horses were constantly smuggled into the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty most wanted to smuggle Buddhist scriptures and Nine Sutras, and wanted to smuggle Khitan civilization, or silk and tea, and it was also successful. Many Buddhist scriptures appeared in the Khitan territory, and the Buddhist cause became stronger and stronger. Many powerful people were obsessed with tea and silk from the Central Plains. The ones they didn't want to smuggle were silver and copper. The Song Dynasty was also in short supply, and there were many political articles, but they were also smuggled. As soon as many smuggle came out, they arrived in the Khitan territory. Maybe Song Jiu's set of books also arrived in the Khitan. There were also copper coins, which continued to flow into the Khitan territory.

Can't be banned.

However, it is very difficult to bring someone to the other party.

When the guards on both sides saw that they had received the benefits, they turned a blind eye to each other. If they were to bring people and spies, if they were to leak things, they would be beheaded.

Even if a person can bring a thousand stone lake salt over, he may not necessarily bring a person from the Khitan to the Song Dynasty.

Song Jiu was thinking about the idea that he would bring it over, would there be any other trouble? Yu Ping suddenly said, "Jiulang, no, he is now a Guoyi Commander of the Khitan garrison in Yongqing."

The Khitan implemented a system of north and south. The south refers to the sixteen prefectures of Youyun, which governs the Han Dynasty. Most of the official positions were imitated by the Tang Dynasty system. Guoyi Duwei was a deputy of a Zhechong Prefecture, which was equivalent to the deputy commander of the first battalion of the Song army.

"Guoyi..." Song Jiu was stunned. No wonder Yuping sent someone to inquire before, and then he got the news later. It is difficult to find an ordinary person, but is it still difficult to find a Guoyi?

"He is all Guoyi, why don't he send someone to inquire about me?"

"Yu Ping, don't complain, because he is Guo Yi, and the two countries are in a bad mood, and they do everything they can to defeat each other. Once he sends someone to inquire about your whereabouts, he is also worried that the court will use your identity to threaten him. It is not for your own good if he doesn't look for you."

"Slave family..."

"Have you confirmed?"

"not yet."

"Next time, let them ask people there to confirm, such as your birthmark, your birthday, or other **, it may not be him. Maybe it is a coincidence. It is really him, it is good that he can live. At least everyone has a concern in their hearts, and concern is also a kind of happiness." Song Jiu said. If it were really Guo Yi, I would probably have gotten married and had children there, and could an ordinary person think of some way to get over it, but can he get over it? If he could get over it, he wouldn't want to.

But what Song Jiu was worried about was the future battle between Song and Liao. The Song army began to fight to the city of Youzhou with great momentum. Not to mention Yongqing on the front line. And how did a slave become Guoyi? There were many stories in between.

Yuping nodded.

The speed was fast, Su Xiaoyu came out of the palace. She was afraid that people would gossip, so Song Jiu had a blind date and asked Li Zhu to see. Li Zhu was so happy that he inserted the golden hairpin. He quickly found a good day and gave Li Zhu three days off to get married.

A series of festivals followed, the 24th anniversary of the twelfth lunar month, the 24th anniversary of the twelfth lunar month was cleaned, the Kitchen God was sacrificed, the paper money was burned, and some people also invited monks and Taoists to chant scriptures. It was soon New Year's Eve, and sometimes the palace summoned all ministers to welcome the new year, but this year it was not.

After writing the Taotaro, I started to set off firecrackers.

But this year, Yu Ping had more concern. With the sound of firecrackers, she looked up at the north. Song Jiu sighed. Most of the father was the father of Yu Ping. What could Song Jiu do? He was to bear the pain and give Yu Ping over. How could a girl send him over? On the way, no matter how vendors and pawns were, they were all like wolves and tigers. Seeing Yu Ping's appearance, they had nothing to do with him. That was a little lamb sent to the tiger's mouth. Or just cooperate, and sent someone to greet him at the border and he sent someone to follow him. When Yu Ping came there, he was a stepmother, and most of her children were born. She also wanted to get angry when she went there. Just like Qingyi, Qingyi was a mother and a concubine, and she had no children. Otherwise, if she had no relationship with the Bi family, Qingyi would be in a dilemma.

Damn war.

Thinking of this, I held Yuping's hand and gently comforted and touched her.

Yuping smiled and said, "Jiulang, don't worry, I am also in the blessings of my family."

"I don't blame you, I'll be worried about you."

Yuping just held Song Jiu's hand tightly, avoiding fear that Song Jiu would let go.

The next day is New Year's Day. In fact, it starts to be lively at midnight. This is similar to later generations. After midnight, every household sets off firecrackers and changes peach talismans. Then they eat and start running around, and they cannot be banned.

The New Year greetings began as dawn began. The people who paid homage to the most honorable relatives and elders were the most honorable relatives and elders. Originally, Song Jiu had to pay homage to his elder sister in the first year of the Song Dynasty, but this year it was not possible. The Pan family was the real elder. However, they also had to pay New Year greetings. The yamen, friends, and ministers of all the friends prepared gifts and sent servants to hold "thorns" (business cards) to pay New Year greetings from house to house. Song Jiu prepared hundreds of copies. Of course, he received more gifts this year. There will be more and more gifts in the future, and the gifts sent by students will not be less.

The Song Jiu family did not have a real servant, including Mother Zhang, who was not considered a servant, so they had to let Guo Daguo work for the second generation. Yuping could not leave and wanted to be the hostess at home to receive him. Song Jiu came to the Pan family.

This can also be regarded as the new son-in-law coming to the door. The only precious son-in-law, the Pan family opened the middle door and welcomed him in.

Tian, ​​who was not sure whether he was happy or unhappy, had a calm expression, sent someone to bring out fragrant tea, five pungent plates (a vegetable box, divided into five, with garlic, small garlic, leek, brassica, carrot, five spicy and cool dishes. You must eat it on the beginning of New Year's Day and the beginning of spring). After eating the tea, Tian, ​​someone asked someone to serve vegetarian cakes (vegetarian noodles).

Still haven't seen Pan Lian'er.

Song Jiu was not very interested in eating noodles.

After finishing the meal, Tian said, "Weide and Weigu let you wait for them to come back."

"Here."

He also served tea and fruits for Song Jiu to relieve his boredom. Tian said, "These fruits are made from old bodies and are not as delicious as you."

Song Jiu brought a lot of fruits over. It was the snack prepared for Pan Weizheng and Pan Weiqing. Looking at his third son who was eating voraciously, Tian said, "Missy will eat a lot of money for you."

If it is not ordinary people who understand why they don’t make fruits at home, but Tian’s husband is Pan Mei, and Pan Mei’s military management is strict. Military discipline and industry governance are similar. Without rules, the industry will be in chaos.

"Not many, they are children. They are carefree in the past few years. When they grow up, they have to bear family responsibilities. They can never be so happy anymore. Just get used to it a little bit."

"Wei De has already started a family, and he is still a child."

Song Jiu dared not answer, not only Pan Weide, but many yamen are not the same? Even if this is good, don’t cut off slaves like Wang Jixun, or Gao Qiu’s yamen robbed his wife to play.

After waiting for a while, the Pan brothers came back and were overjoyed when they met. A bear hug came. Pan Weigu knocked on Song Jiu's head: "If I had proposed marriage two years ago, wouldn't I come to pay New Year's greetings last year?"

Pan Weide knocked on his head: "Second brother, where was he last year? Can he fly back to pay New Year's greetings with wings?"

"I forgot it all. Xiaojiu. We heard you are going to go down again?"

"Look at the matter of the cow, it won't last long, it'll be a month."

"Take us there."

"No. Although this journey is not a war-torn area, it is also a wide range. It is very hard to take a look from Shaanxi to Hedong, Hebei, Shandong, Zhunnan and Henan."

"We are not afraid of hardship." The brothers said, holding Song Jiu from left to right. It was really hard, but the two brothers knew that it was a good time to travel in February and have spring flowers blooming.

Song Jiu looked at Tian and Tian said, "If the court does not prohibit violations, you can take them down and take a look. It happens to be back in March, and only married in late March."

"Where is the Imperial Academy?"

"Don't you know in Sanshi?"

"The Jiantai School has nothing to do with the Three Departments, and the Three Departments are only responsible for reviewing the account expenses."

"The Taixue School has not been built yet. Some people say that this is a national academy. It should be luxurious, at least not too shabby. Some people say that it is just a academy, and knowledge is the main one. It cannot be extravagant and wasteful, but it will mess up the hearts of students. So the Taixue School has been completed over and over again. It was because the two sides had a dispute that some school buildings were not built. In the late winter, cement cannot be used. It is said that it was the beginning of this year that it was possible to be completed by summer. Xiaojiu, why is Hezhou so fast?"

Song Jiu did not answer.

The Hezhou project is big, but there is no dispute, so of course it is fast. It cannot be said to be fast. If the entire Hezhou project is calculated together, it is not called fast, but very slow.

Tian asked strangely on the side: "Song Jiu, why do you have to look so far when you look at the cow?"

"Report to my mother-in-law, if the people want to raise cattle on their own initiative, it is not possible to rely on the law to prohibit the people from slaughtering. If the law works, the Qin Dynasty would not perish so quickly. The problem is very complicated, so I want to go down to look at the herdsmanship, some forage grass, some terrain, and various people's situations. I try to solve the problem of cattle by using two methods. One is that there are more meat, more sources, and the price of beef will also fall. The other is that the price of cattle increases. It may not work, but go down to take a look. It is better to think of it, and your Majesty will not blame me if you can't think of it."

"Cow prices have increased, aren't there more people who can't afford to raise cattle?"

"It is still unaffordable to raise something, and it has nothing to do with the price of cattle. The problem now is not the price of cattle, but too few cattle. You must use some means to protect the cattle. Once the number of cattle keeps up, the price of cattle will automatically drop. Just like glass, I burned it out. A exquisite glass product only costs a few dozen guan, and after each of them is changed, it becomes more than one thousand guan. But now you can try it again. It's nothing, the price will automatically drop when there is too much quantity. But this is an idea, and it's difficult to implement it, and you have to think about the consequences. You have to go down and look at it to know. The main reason is that I'm clumsy and can't think of it at home."

"So, how can the cows become more expensive?"

"The price of cattle has not risen, mainly because the court guides and controls it, but it is in short supply. Your Majesty once said that I can sell the expensive ones into low-quality ones, and I can sell the cheap ones into high-quality ones, but it is in short supply, so I can sell the expensive ones into high-quality ones. But this consequence is a bit serious, and I must consider the severity."

"Yes." Tian nodded, and then said nothing more. His sons talked to Song Jiuxian.
Chapter completed!
