Someone looked at Shi Baoji.

Song Jiu shook his head. Shi Baoji was the son-in-law, but it was useless. Zhao Kuangyin had three daughters in total. The eldest daughter married Wang Shenqi's son Wang Chengyan. The person was the real playful nature. He invested a little money on both sides, but he never asked about it. Shi Baoji was Shi Baozheng's younger brother, but Shi Baozheng's name also changed Zhao Kuangyin to Shi Baoxing. He married Zhao Kuangyin's second daughter last year, and then Zhao Kuangyin married his favorite young daughter to Wei Renpu's son Wei Xianxin.

Wei Xianxin was with Hebei, which is inevitable. Song Jiu first made friends with descendants of military generals. Wei Renpu was a civil servant and had a good relationship with Zhao Pu. Moreover, Wei Xianxin was disdainful of Song Jiu at the beginning. Later, he saw that his income was considerable and he could not join, so he walked with Zhao Chengzong. Both families were good in the world, both civil officials, and both had prominent families, which was quite normal.

That is, he was fighting for the prince-consort Duwei, and Shi Baoji could not defeat Wei Xianxin.

Besides, is the prince-in-law really noble?

Everyone left in a mixed mood.

"Official, can't that be that?"

"If it wasn't usurping the country, why wouldn't it be like that?" Song Jiu said lightly. Zhao Pu was not very powerful. Sima Guang was really powerful in the future. It seemed that at that time, including Su Dongpo and others, were reflecting, preparing to use more moderate means to choose the best and abandon the shortcomings, and continue to follow Wang Anshi's reforms. However, Sima Guang and Gao Taotao, a pair of live treasures, joined forces to overthrow them together in order to attack political enemies, and could even return the important cities on the Shaanxi border that they had finally won to Xixia for free. Although Zhao Pu did some bad things for power, he was far inferior to that pair of treasure eggs.

"Official, I am grateful and frightened today." Yuping said.

Song Jiu was angry for her. At that moment, all the hard work was worth it.

"You. I'll let you learn to let go, but you won't let go. Qingyi. This way, you will take the time to learn from behind Yuping in the future and gradually carry the load of Hezhou for Yuping."

"Good come."

Yuping wanted to speak, and Song Jiu said again: "The relationship between our dynasty and the Liao Kingdom has gradually recovered. I will send someone to check some of the situations in the Khitan coast, and then let the boat carry you to visit your father, the family will be reunited, and stay for a few months to come back."

The new Khitan emperor was in power. He was ambitious, but he had fought with the Song Dynasty several times and did not get any advantage. Moreover, his father left a super mess, so he had to focus on his homeland. Zhao Pu, who was afraid that Zhao Kuangyin would change his mind and would change his mind to the north and then the south again, persuaded him that the Khitan side needed time to govern the country, and the Song Dynasty needed time to unify the south. The two sides hit it off and were preparing for peace talks.

I don't know what kind of agreement I can make in the end.

But this peace will not last too long.

However, if you can take this opportunity, Yuping will take a look. After all, it is her father, and after seeing it, it will be settled. If you are worried, you will secretly send someone to take advantage of the sea and send some money.

Yuping didn't make a sound, looking at the north and thinking from afar.

After the plan was released, the plan began. Some of them were all kinds of construction talents, and they were settled in a few days.

He no longer works as an official, does not teach, does not have an official position, and does not have the qualifications to teach. Either he can summon students to do something, and the academy expenses also come from the share of Hezhou Qi Co., Ltd. or he goes to that large private laboratory for experiments.

Not that hurry, and just pretended to be relaxed, Song Jiu said to Yuping, "Let's go to Hezhou for a walk."

"good."

The two of them came to Hezhou with their son in their arms. Now the scenery of Hezhou is picturesque, but the disadvantage is that there are too many tourists and there are crowds everywhere. The area is still too narrow. Planning Henan is inevitable. Looking at the giant pandas, many children shouted happily.

Yuping whispered: "I saw it cute, so I asked the manager to open the door at night and let the servant go in and touch it with his hands."

“How does it feel?”

"The hair is soft." Yuping laughed himself. Others are watching the fun, while the two are watching it blindly. All of this change comes from their hands, and they are not surprised.

Yuping said again: "My ship will also come back from the South China Sea this year."

"After coming back, go back to the dock for maintenance, seal the cabin, and then let them go to Dashi with the Dashi merchant."

"Go to Dashi?"

"If it's right, I know some big food merchants. Now it's honeymoon period. After passing this village, they may not appreciate this in the future. Going to the sea mainly means familiar with the waterways. This is not to draw a map, the sea is boundless. I once took a boat to Fuliang River in Guangnan, but it was sailing along the shore, but it made me feel a heavy sense of powerlessness. So this route must be familiar with it."

I moved to the entrance of the academy again. There were more and more students from other places, and the study time was long. If I studied from the first grade, it was called eight years, but even the smartest students would take more than ten years. Therefore, I finally had a holiday. The winter started from the four days before the New Year Festival until the Lantern Festival five days after the Lantern Festival, which was from the 20th day of the 1st month to the 21st day of the 1st month of the 1st month of the 1st month of the 1st month of the 1st month of the 1st month of the 1st month of the 1st month of the 1st month of the 1st month of the 1st month of the 1st month of the 1st month of the 1st month of the 1st month of the 1st month of the 1st month of the 1st month of the 1st month of the 1st month of the 1st month of the 1st month of the 1st month of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the year was truly precious.

Yuping said: "Officials, it would be too much for Your Majesty to not allow you to enter the academy."

"Ping'er, I'm also thinking about it. This is a good thing. All the students have grown up and gradually become independent. At least I can let go of middle school and beginners, or I don't know how to teach. Since I'm back, I can do the opportunity to assist in experiments, answer their questions, or guide them. The academy has no nominal connection with me, which is not a bad thing. No matter how good I teach, my shadow cannot be erased, Your Majesty cannot be assured to choose the students of the academy. If my shadow is erased, Your Majesty can be at ease to employ people. I heard of one thing that last year Your Majesty lamented that there was no good official for Confucian scholars and Jinshi, and it is far inferior to the students of the academy. Only when the court recognizes it can it be carried forward. Without the court's recognition, no matter how good I teach, it will always be a small path."

It's still a teaching, but it becomes a private discussion.

Song Jiu said: "Learn to let go. When I came back from Bashu and passed by the Qinling Mountains, I saw an eagle practicing a small eagle, picking it up and putting it down from the air so that it can fly and fly higher."

"I know, I'm gradually letting go." Yu Ping smiled angrily.

The two of them wandered around for a long time. When they returned home, they saw Chu Zhaofu waiting for him at home. As soon as they met, Chu Zhaofu came with a bear hug and laughed and said, "Xiaojiu, we're back."

"Chu Envoy, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Yes, you performed well in the south. It hurt me."

"Okay, Chu Si Envoy, I felt something was wrong when I was in the Sansi. Although I couldn't ask about everything in detail, I would definitely not be able to ask nothing."

"Xiao Jiu, ask yourself how complicated the accounts of the three departments are. The Secretary of the Central Committee ordered that the people be lenient, can I not be lenient? The Secretary of the Central Committee ordered me to help the victims, can I not be rescued?"

"Chu Shi Envoy. I am in the Sanshi. Can you not know that I am really lenient with the people? It is not lenient with the people. Instead, I add taxes in disguise to various prohibitions and turned into silk, gold, silver, copper and iron. However, I agree with this change. After all, farmers' income is very small. It is not advisable to continue to collect taxes like the Tang Dynasty. But I also ignored a problem in the Sanshi. The grain tax was reduced in the tax ratio, but the labor cost was increasing, including transportation costs. The court wanted the capital to be stable and always supplied to the people with low prices of grain. Merchants.

Hoarding and increasing grain is a right-hand policy. The court ignored the cost and simply suppressed the price of grain. It is a left-hand policy. The capital or other important areas have eaten cheap food. This labor force came to farmers. The ship only came from the court. The cost was invisible, but it was indeed a cost. As a result, the proportion of grain supply in the court is increasing, and the grain tax is decreasing. In addition, the large-scale relief of the disaster victims made last year. This was a policy mistake. The Secretary of the Central Committee made mistakes and the Three Divisions made mistakes. Don’t say that the people are lenient."

"Xiao Jiu, write the memorial."

"If you want to write, it has nothing to do with me. What kind of memorials are I, a commoner, written?"

"Do you really think you are a commoner?"

"Then I ask you, what official am I?"

"Okay, you are a commoner," Chu Zhaofu was about to fall and said, "I ask you, how much food can Pan Mei transfer from the south?"

"Chi Situan, do you want to listen to the truth or to lie?"

"How to tell the truth, how to tell the lies?"

"I don't know the lies. Anyway, the food in the south is very cheap and the sea boats are very big."

"Where is the truth?"

"The truth is that you'd better tell your Majesty only, don't mention it. There is food in the south, but the number of people is too small. Fortunately, I was raped and almost brought back the tiles. Otherwise, if so many people are raped, even the food in Lingnan would be tight. Of course, if it is tight, hundreds of thousands of stones of grain can be transferred out. However, it's too late. Lingnan is very large, and the people are most concerned about the lack of food in the time of the shortage of food was five months ago, which is the time for the spring famine. But there are still hundreds of miles of dry roads from Mizhou to reach Jishui, and a boat is also needed to get from Jishui. Is it really too little food?

Is it? It’s not that there is little grain, nor is it because it’s a lack of transportation. Local officials are not doing much, and the grain cannot be transported in the north. When the rice and grain arrive at Jishui, will the officials not cooperate with you? It takes time to transport it to the prefectures and counties that are short of food. Therefore, Guangnan must send the grain at the end of February, otherwise it will be too late. At this time, how much grain can Guangnan be transferred, and it will be transferred from each prefecture and county to the port, and then on board the ship. It can only be said that there are few hurricanes in spring, which is conducive to navigation. I really don’t know how much grain can be transferred, but it won’t meet the requirements you want."

"Then why are you confident?"

"Chu Situation, I'll calculate it. There are many victims now, and there is no way to count them. However, the victims of severe and mild disasters can be in 200,000 households. The people and military households in the capital can barely maintain them. The county and county towns also have relevant state grains, but how much food does these 200,000 households have to eat a day? If you have a large appetite, you have to eat two liters of grain a day, and forty days it will be a stone of grain rice. In recent years, the country has been stable. Each household has more than two to three children, and each household has six or seven people.

How many days can one stone of grain be maintained? Today is the eleventh day of the first lunar month, and there are more than four months left, how much grain is needed? What’s the fatal thing is that many people fled the famine last year, but the autumn sowing did not continue. This year, winter wheat in many areas also suffered severe reductions in production. In this way, how much grain will be lacking? Therefore, it is very important for Guangnan to come, but we cannot fully expect Guangnan. The court continues to find ways, including digging the West Road and transporting the grain from Shaanxi to the capital and to the north."

"That's how..."

"But don't make it public to the outside world. As far as I know, the people know that last year, Guangnan was ripe, and the grain was getting more and more expensive. After seeing the continuous transport of grain from Mizhou, some landlords and grain merchants would open warehouses and sell grain one after another. The food in their hands was the main one, so the price of grain would slowly fall. Although it was expensive, it could alleviate the pressure on the people. The crisis would be lifted. If the truth was announced, the grain merchants would continue to hold on to the grain and not sell it, and the grain prices would only be high or low."

"Do they rather the food rot?"

"Chu Situation, you are wrong again. Let me give you an analogy. I have five thousand stones of grain stored in my hand, and the cost is 200 cents per stone. Now I sell it for 500 cents per stone. Taxes plus loss and other expenses, one stone can make 250 cents per stone, and five thousand stone can make more than 1,200 crores. But I kept the grain, and the price of grain is getting higher and higher. I sold it for one stone, and I only sold half of it. How much money can I make? I make the same amount of money, or even more. After all, the less the amount of grain, the less the loss, and the remaining 2,500 stones of grain is left. Actually, I heard that a dou of rice in some areas in the north is almost sold for 200 cents. More than one stone, the money is!"

Song Jiu sighed: "In fact, the second king's method was very good last year. If the officials of various prefectures and counties cooperated, they could kill these grain traders."

There is a classic case where Song Jiu luckily remembered that it was Wang Anshi who bought grain. The southeast was flooded, and the price of grain rose rapidly. The court ban. However, Wang Anshi publicly bought grain at a high price in Yuezhou. As a result, all grain merchants transported the grain together. Wang Anshi had some more hands and feet. The ships were getting smaller and smaller. The grain came, and there was no shortage of grain. There was no place to store it. He could not transport it back. The grain merchants had to cover their noses and sell it at a lower price. The more the price the people lowered, the less they bought it. As a result, they all lost money and sold it at a loss.

Chen Congxin's approach is very similar.

But if the governments in various places do not cooperate, then the best way is just empty talk.
