As the Spring Festival comes, I have to wish my mother-in-law a happy new year.

Pan Lian'er sat in the car, holding Song Yu, and also brought Song Funiang, Song Xiaoyu, Song Panpan, and two little guys, Song Wanniang and Song Bao, who asked Song Jiu to hold him and sit on the horse's back. But don't underestimate the children of the Song family. Yuping was teaching in the capital, and Pan Lian'er was teaching even more. Song Jiu seemed to be pampering, but in fact he was teaching and was teaching. The seven-year-old Song Funiang could calculate addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within three digits, and could barely use an abacus to make addition, subtraction, barely read the Analects of Confucius, and Song Bao also barely read the Thousand Characters. Moreover, under Song Jiu's leadership, they were extroverted and could tell many stories. Although they were not as good as the very few genius children of the Song Dynasty who could write poems at the age of seven or eight, their wisdom performance was more than half higher than other children.

Song Bao is better, that's a boy.

But Song Wanniang is different. She is a girl. She has been fond of all kinds of favors and loves her since she was born. In addition, she looks good and many noble ladies like her. However, when she heard her reading the Analects of Confucius, everyone was speechless and blamed Pan Lian'er for being a daughter. If you teach her like this, who will marry her in the future?

There was another person behind his back, and his wife, Mrs. Fu, died of illness last year. Before her death, she held Zhao Kuangyi's hand and said, "Master, don't forget the Chai family."

Zhao Kuangyi nodded with a bitter smile.

The teaching methods of the Song family are to cultivate monsters, and my nephew is really not a good match.

When he arrived at the Pan family, Pan Renmei was about to come back, but it would not be too long. After the celebration banquet, he would return to his garrison, that is, to Hanzhong. But it may not be certain, maybe Zhao Kuangyin would change his territory. Or like Guangzhou, he would take this empty position and stay in the capital. The position of the governor gradually became blurred. He had a virtual position and a real position, even if he was a real position, he would not have much power. He was somewhat controlled by civil officials, had the power to lead and train troops, but his troops were very few, and they were all wing soldiers.

The official positions of the Song Dynasty also began to be unclear. For example, Cao Bin, the governor of the Southern Court of Xuanhui, Cao Bin, the governor of Yicheng, was the governor of Zhongwu, and Pan Mei, the governor of Shandong East Road, was the governor of Xuanhui, and the officials would know it themselves. That is, Cao Bin was the prime minister of the Western Court and was the governor of Zhongwu, and this position had no real power, which was an honor, and he also received an additional salary. However, this prime minister may have become a prime minister like Shi Shouxin and others. That is,

Two major empty positions. Pan Mei's situation will be a little more complicated. When she goes to Hanzhong, the important position in Xifu Xuanhui North Court envoy becomes a empty position. Honors and more salary have no other meaning. If she does not take the post and is summoned to Xifu to plan things, the Jiedushi becomes a virtual position. If she is idle at home, both positions will become empty positions. If she is conquered Taiyuan, the two positions are vacant, and the Taiyuan position is a real position. That is, the bonding, but the bonding of the two of them is too big. Although there are not many, they are first-class official positions.

So Tian also made some preparations at home to prevent him from going to another place to take up his post.

Seeing a few children, Tian happily greeted him.

The girls of the Song Jiu family were all salivating. Not only Song Jiu, but since Zhao Kuangyin promised the Duke's Duke and other signs, none of them underestimated Song Jiu. They also had their own qualities, and the Song family's 100,000.

Tian also wanted to have a kiss, that was impossible.

She did not underestimate Song Bao. This child is eccentric and might have a great future. Moreover, her daughter has a good relationship with Song Jiu's concubine. Finally, she successfully gave birth to a boy for the Song family and immediately named Song Yu. Song Jiu disagreed and said that there was an ancient man named Song Yu. Pan Lian insisted that there were too many people with the same name since ancient times. We either had different names or had the same name as famous ministers. After the two argued for a while, Song Jiu retreated gorgeously.

Everything seems to be the opposite in the Song family.

In fact, this name is a kind of concern for Yuping.

The New Year's money was passed on to each other, and Tian smiled. The two families were in full swing, and she also felt liked it. Song Jiu loved her and some of her children very much, and she was happy to see this scene. However, she didn't understand why the Liu family looked down on Song Jiu at the time, or why Song Jiu was so late to understand the "Seven Stealings".

Song Jiu asked: "Mother-in-law, when will my father-in-law come back?"

It's hard to say. If Zhao Kuangyin wanted to keep them over Jiangnan, he might have to stay for a while. If he thought there was no big problem in Jiangnan, he would be recalled immediately. Tian's family was well-informed in the city, so he asked.

"I heard that the emperor was about to issue an order to lead General Cao and your father-in-law to lead the army back to the capital, but I was worried that I would not be in the capital for too long, so Your Majesty asked us to go to Hanzhong again."

"It may not be possible to go to Hanzhong, I am afraid it will attack Taiyuan next." Song Jiudao.

The diary said that after Cao Bin entered Jinling City, he issued a ban on violence. Many scholars and officials were safeguarded. He also sent a military judge to search the army. No soldier dared to hide his wife, so he did not search. Then he asked the civil minister Xu Zhongxuan to inspect according to the officialdom. Cao Bin did not ask any of the attacks. The attack was the business of the military generals, and the governance was handed over to the civil ministers. Therefore, although this conquest was slow, there was danger in the middle and he spent more money, food, grass and supplies, but he did not commit any evil, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent governance.

This is the statement from the diary newspaper. Pan Mei also mentioned something at home. Before Cao Bin left, Zhao Kuangyin promised that when he defeated Li Yu, he would be the prime minister. Think about the official position and the prime minister, and the commander of the military governor, which was almost the peak of honor for military generals.

After entering Jinling City and capturing Li Yu, Pan Meihe. Cao Bin said: "Otherwise, this trip will be accomplished by relying on the power of heaven and obeying the temple. What kind of achievements do I have? Besides, I will be able to use the best position of the emperor."

Pan Mei didn't believe it very much, and Cao Bin said again: "Taiyuan is not yet pacified."

Lao Cao was very broad-minded, but it might not be possible. He exposed many shortcomings in this journey, especially in the battle at the Wanjiangkou, which was very dangerous. If the south wind continued to blow, Zhu Lingyun successfully broke through the Wanjiangkoukou and went straight to Caishiji. The battle situation was another question. Zhao Kuangyi might use him, but Zhao Kuangyin, who was proficient in military affairs, would not continue to use him as the commander. The Northern Han Dynasty was weak, but there was a huge figure behind it! Therefore, Pan Mei could only be used next, or Zhao Kuangyin would be in charge again.

"You still have to fight?"

"Where did the Northern Han Dynasty say that there was a great unification theory?"

"If that happens, wouldn't there be Yan Yun and Tubo..."

"Mother-in-law, Yanyun is enough. Tubo is too far away and there is no harm. You don't have to worry about this, the Emperor Freedom considers it."

They were talking, Pan Lian'er was sending fruits, Pan Wei was coming to rob, Pan Lian'er knocked on his head: "You are all adults. You are about to get married, it's still delicious."

Looking at the Hexi family, Tian smiled happily.

Song Jiu said, "Mother-in-law, I have to go to the palace."

"Go to the palace?"

"Dedicate copper smelting technology," Song Jiudao. Last winter, good news came from the south. Sucrose can be actually promoted, and the inn will bring back hundreds of kilograms of sugar. It is not sold, but it is all given to people. This does not mean that the technology is mature. There may still be some shortcomings, but it cannot be found in the laboratory. Therefore, it will take about two years to start a small-scale production first, and then find problems and adjust it. At that time, the technology can basically mature. At that time, not only can sucrose be launched on a large scale, but many related technologies will also be produced, including improving the manufacturing method of sulfuric acid, including a series of crystallization and precipitation and other related technologies. In the end, this series of technologies will be combined, and the entire industry will undergo a complete degeneration.

If it becomes in agriculture, the taste is similar, select seeds, plant small fields, and promote them to large fields.

But copper smelting technology is still inferior. To be precise, it is still a bit early to carry out small-scale real production now. Song Jiu and the other one know this. I don’t know why, Zhao Kuangyi reminded himself that it would be better to rush to get the news of the Southern Tang Dynasty and hand over the copper smelting technology to have a happy ending.

Zhao Kuangyi had this intention, and Song Jiu also wanted it to succeed as soon as possible. It would be better to study textile machinery successfully, but it was not possible to achieve it just by thinking. When the good news came, Li Yu was about to take it to the capital, and Song Jiu had to hand it over in advance.

It’s not a big deal. If you start a small-scale production first, you will find more problems. At worst, the country will waste a lot of money, but who knows except Song Jiu?

Song Jiu also wanted to have a private deal with Zhao Kuangyin.

Furthermore, the wall clock has changed its name and is a bad name. There are many problems with Kaibaoyi, but it can be sold as a product. Anyway, no one knows whether it is good or bad. He invests a lot of money and trains some craftsmen to create many parts. Song Jiu obeys Zhao Kuangyi's instructions and has not assembled and sold, and others are not aware of it. So he destroyed the parts he made in the early stage, destroyed and destroyed. Although the technology has been further improved and the craftsmen have gradually become proficient in the craftsmen's craftsmanship, but this waste is too great and it is time to sell.

Therefore, Song Jiu planned to hand over this technology first.

Tian didn't understand very much and said, "That's fine, this is a serious matter."

She didn't understand the big truth, but she still understood the basic ones. The country lacked money to use it, so she ordered that copper coins should not cross the river. In the past, it was only the Southern Han and Hunan. Now that the Southern Tang Dynasty has taken it back, can copper coins be left over the river?

She suddenly remembered and said, "Your Majesty once promised you a Duke."

"Mother-in-law, it doesn't matter if the Duke of the Kingdom is the Duke. As long as you do things with peace of mind, you still have to worry about not having any official titles. Your father had wanted me to serve as the deputy envoy of the Third Division and the junior supervisor of the Secretariat, but I refused. Whether I want to be an official is in my mind, why should I rush to be a Duke of the Kingdom? How can the big tree attract wind?"

"You kid, too, be low-key and avoid others' jealousy."

Song Jiu rode his horse to the palace.

Knowing that he was coming to offer treasures, Zhao Kuangyin immediately ordered the eunuch to take him to the palace and look at Song Jiu with a pen and said, "Where did you get it?"

Is it necessary for Song Jiu to report? His eyes are also staring at the experiment.

"It's almost the same, but I'm here to talk about another thing, the policy of customs and trade protection."

Zhao Kuangyin was confused when he was a new noun.

Song Jiu explained: "Traffic trading is the trade between countries. Since ancient times, this has been neglected because the Wei minister presided over some affairs of the Maritime Bureau. Later, after carefully thinking about these trades, he found an interesting thing."

"Speak and listen."

"For example, imports, that is, goods coming from outside, Weichen gives an analogy, let's talk about spices. When spices arrive in our court, they make seasonings for delicious dishes, and the second is incense or lavender, and the utensils are used up. The first one who makes profits in the middle is the tariffs of the Maritime Bureau, and the second is the merchants. There will be no more."

"What's wrong?"

"Yes, I will talk about the production. For an analogy, the last income of porcelain is the tariffs of the Maritime Bureau. There are also benefits at sea, but that is all the business of maritime merchants. Most of them are the income from the South China Sea. I don't have many maritime merchants now. If there is, my family will be the largest."

Zhao Kuangyin smiled. He may not care much about other people doing business. However, the larger the business scale of the Song Jiu family, the better. That is feedback to the country.

"Weichen only talks about the income from land, followed by the income of the merchants of the two market corpses, and the income of the porcelain workshop. The court will impose commercial taxes in the middle, but the difference from imports is that there is an additional tax on the porcelain workshop. This is the beginning. With the huge export scale of porcelain workshops, every time a piece of porcelain is sold, some money will flow into the pocket of the workshop owner, and a part will flow into the pocket of the servants. The more they sell, the more servants they will feed. But porcelain is not made out of thin air. It requires porcelain clay, carbon, and other things, and as many industries become larger, countless people will feed. The state's commercial tax will also be imposed in disguise. The lives of these people have improved, and they can buy more goods. The whole country is in a virtuous cycle." Song Jiu tried to express it in the most simple language.

"The second is money. Whether gold and silver are quasi-currency or copper coins are currency, once imported, these coins are circulated outside the country. And our civilized economy is developed, just like water flowing to a low place, with fewer coins than foreign countries. If it is not controlled, the import quantity will be much greater than the export quantity. If I don't make much profit, the coins will be tight. But the export is different, and coins are circulated to our country. Unless I have too many coins to use, it is impossible."

"Song Jiu, what do you want to say?"

"When the two civilian authorities impose tariffs, the exported goods will not be subject to any taxes, encourage and stimulate exports, and only import tariffs will be imposed. At least this move can barely keep the import and export volume even. This is called a trade protection policy."

Zhao Kuangyin hesitated a little. If that were the case, the country would have lost hundreds of thousands of yuan in tariffs a year.
