Song Jiu came to the Pan family.

Tian was very happy and sent his servants to buy many precious dishes to entertain his long-returned husband and son-in-law.

Both people in one family are gradually becoming more expensive. This gradually becoming more expensive refers to the current position of Pan Mei and the future of Song Jiu. Although Zhao Kuangyin said that Song Jiu was the most knowledgeable person, he still did not give Song Jiu an official position. But there was another person in the court who was more prone to speculation. Lu Duoxun wrote a letter, Your Majesty, you said that Song Jiu had ended in bronze smelting, so it would be easier to enter the court to become an official. Zhao Kuangyin said, "Lu Qing didn't know that I should treat him with the three officials, but the Southern Tang Dynasty was recovered, and copper coins were even short of them, and this matter was even more serious."

It can't be said clearly.

After pacifying the Southern Tang Dynasty, I only got more than 700,000 copper coins from the treasury of Jinling City. There were copper in the Southern Tang Dynasty, but in recent years, through tribute or trade, including gold and silver, it was mostly circulated to the Song Dynasty. Therefore, the Southern Tang Dynasty had to use iron coins as coins. In the past, even if the Southern Tang Dynasty used paper as coins, it would not be taken care of, but now it is collected, so it cannot be ignored. The iron coins cannot be cancelled for the time being, but there are many disadvantages.

After countless large-scale experiments in Song Jiu, he knew that the experiment and production were two different things. There were also copper. It was not pure copper for coins. It was doped with lead and tin. There were many reasons for doping these two metals. One was to reduce costs, the second was to increase the difficulty of counterfeit theft, and the third was to prevent the sale of money. Because of the lack of copper coins, the copper produced was mostly used to mint coins, so there were not much copper for other purposes. The copper price was higher than the price of copper coins, and most of the bold people sold copper into utensils. However, if lead and tin were mixed in, it was not easy to sell coins into utensils. However, too much was added, which reduced the quality of copper coins. Even because the price was lower than the price of metal, some unscrupulous merchants forged copper coins. How to mix them together was another science. This is what Song Jiu was studying now.

It can also be regarded as an alloy, and this technology is equally important.

The Southern Tang Dynasty can only be said to have recovered. There are still some areas that are rebelling, but the scale is not too large. After the purge, large-scale mining of copper ores began. The technology there was almost successful. The Song Dynasty had to cast copper coins on a large scale to solve the problem of money shortage.

It really matters.

Zhao Kuangyin said that the Three Sessions were treated. It did not refer to the internal positions of the Three Sessions, but to the Three Sessions. This is the country's wealth and is not unimportant. Moreover, Chu Zhaofu led the Three Sessions to the Three Sessions and has never done a good job. It seemed that Song Jiu's position as the Three Sessions and was a natural result.

Therefore, Ludoson said nothing more.

He is not the prime minister, and the few three sects in the early Northern Song Dynasty. Except for the tragic Zhao Yu, it is not counted. Zhang Mei was a former Zhou official who was estranged from Zhao Kuangyin. All the other three sects had entered the two palaces, and the probability was 60%!

Then in the future, the two families will relied on each other and will not fall for decades.

Song Jiu knew very well what this mother-in-law thought, and she was not very cold.

After sitting down, he said to Pan Mei: "Father-in-law. Congratulations."

Pan Mei had a good time.

"This great victory will not hurt the people, and the father-in-law will be kept in history."

This time Pan Mei did not laugh anymore. He whispered: "Xiaojiu, it's not what you heard. I will only give you an example. After our army entered Jinling City. There is an ancient temple called Shengyuan Temple. There is a loft in the temple, which is about ten feet high. Some wealthy people in the city are afraid and hid here with gold, silver and soft softness. Some soldiers broke into it and snatched all the people's property. Then they burned all the ancient temple and more than a thousand people with fire. The king entered Jinling City. The only thing that was really inaccessible was the Southern Tang Palace."

"ah?"

"Why did Your Majesty blame Xu Xuan? Because of this, if Li Yu had surrendered earlier and the soldiers did not enter Jinling City, these situations would not have happened. But Guohua tried his best to prevent all kinds of bad phenomena and deliberately pretended to be sick and asked the generals to swear. All the important generals in the army did not do evil, and it was his contribution."

"Why not urge?"

"Xiao Jiu, it's not that we went south to Guangnan. That army is mostly my subordinates. I have been training in Hunan for many years. They dare not disobey my words. Most of them are the Hunan soldiers. They were deeply harmed by them back then. Therefore, we will all agree with the generals and soldiers. There are more than 100,000 troops outside Jinling City, and even the army of Wu and Yue. Whether Guohua or me, they cannot make all soldiers obey orders. Besides, Jinling City is so rich, how to restrain it? Guohua has achieved its maximum ability."

Pan Mei felt a little unhappy when she said this.

The two of them were recruited to the capital. Zhao Kuangyin once promised to take down the Southern Tang Dynasty and serve as the envoy for Cao Bin, but the result was that the Northern Han Dynasty had not yet been settled. Pan Mei laughed at the side. Zhao Kuangyin asked him why he was laughing, and Pan Mei told him what he had once had with Cao Bin.

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't sit still, so he gave Cao Bin 200,000 yuan. There were many families in the capital with 200,000 yuan, but there were so many copper coins in stock, almost no family. So much cash was piled up together, so spectacular that Cao Bin sighed, why should you use ministers in life? Good officials only get too much money!

Soon after, Cao Bin was given the official position of the envoy and prime minister. Cao Bin did a good job, and after returning to Beijing, he was very low-key. He only wrote one sentence on the list of Zhao Kuangyin, and was sent to Jiangnan to take official duties as a matter of duty. I went to Jiangnan to do official duties, rather than attacking Jiangnan. It was even more low-key than Song Jiu!

But this reward is a little too heavy. If you have money, you don’t have to be the prime minister. If you have a prime minister, why should you give so much money? Even the historians randomly record it, saying that it was 200,000, 500,000, and hundreds of coins, which made Cao Bin sigh so much?

Let’s look at Pan Mei again. She only received an envoy of the Northern Court of Xuanhui. Before Cao Bin sent troops, she took the envoy of the Southern Court of Xuanhui. The Central and Southern Court of the Privy Council was valued at the Northern Court. If Cao Bin had made great contributions, it would be fine, but in fact it was not. Cao Bin attacked Jiangnan, and the previous fierce battles were fought by Pan Mei, or Liu Yu and Wang Ming fought at the Wanjiangkou, which had little to do with Cao Bin. Or it slowed down Pan Mei and surrounded Jinling for eleven months. It is really hard to say that this is right or wrong. If you really made contributions, you can only say that you pretended to be sick and asked the generals to swear. But then, wouldn’t Song Jiu do better in Lingnan?

However, Cao Bin was the governor of the Privy Councilor and achieved the ultimate goal of a minister. Song Jiu still has no official position, or just a three-charity service, not to mention Pan Mei, and he did not even get a copper coin. On the contrary, under Song Jiu's forced several children to present the Hezhou Contract to the court.

...

The Spring Festival is coming, and after the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed last year, Zhao Kuangyin issued an edict to Qian Chu that the Marshal of Chuangling made great contributions. When the Jiangnan pacification, he could come to meet me temporarily to comfort me and think back again. I will stay there soon. I will hold the Gui coins to see God three times, so how can I break my promise?

Although Wu Yue was convinced by the Song Dynasty, the two of them had never met each other once, but Qian Chu was hesitant and was afraid that he would be detained after going to Kaifeng. Cui Renji advised from the side: "The emperor is brave and invincible, and the situation in the world can be seen. It is better to protect the whole nation."

Is it okay not to listen? Zhao Kuangyin issued an order for Li Yu to enter the capital, but Li Yu did not listen, and the country was over. Now the Southern Tang Dynasty has also taken it down. What did Wu Yue use to resist the Song army? Qian Chu had no choice but to bring his son Qian Weijun and others to the capital. But the person who received it was beyond everyone's expectations, not Zhao Kuangyi, but Zhao Dezhao.

Song Jiu didn't pay much attention at first.

Qian Chu probably didn't pay attention. This job was better than he thought. Zhao Kuangyin treated him with great courtesy and gave him swords and shoes to court. The power of not being named. Then he ignored the opposition of the ministers and appointed his wife as the princess of Wu Yue. He asked Qian Chu to talk about the rituals with Zhao Kuangyi as his brothers. Qian Chu was flattered and dared not accept it. He kowtowed and refused to say goodbye, but stopped.

After the Changchun Festival, Zhao Kuangyin visited Luoyang in the west and returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors.

This is easy to understand. Zhao Kuangyin grew up in the Jiama Battalion of Luoyang when he was a child. Now he is the emperor. When Zhou Jin returned home, his life has reached this point, which is far beyond his imagination. When he ran away from home, could he think of becoming the emperor and unifying the world? Therefore, Jiangnan’s good news came, Zhao Kuangyin couldn’t help but cry to the left and right, saying: “When Yu County is divided, the people suffer from disasters, and when the city is attacked, there must be those who have a sharp blade. This is really sad.”

It is a good thing for the people to be able to rule the world in a mixed manner, but why didn’t Zhao Kuangyin cry with joy?

Therefore, you should return to your hometown to worship your ancestors.

Qian Chu asked to go too, but Zhao Kuangyin said at the banquet at the Martial Arts Hall: "The customs and land in the north and south are different, and it is better to leave early in the heat."

Moreover, when Qian Chu first came to the capital, he felt sad. He gave a poem during the banquet. There was a sentence on it, "The golden phoenix is ​​about to fly and is snatched. The love is in love. When he walks, he will be separated by the jade tower. Zhao Kuangyin heard the song and knew the elegance of the song, and said to him, "I will not kill the King of Qian. Even if you rebel, I will let the army destroy you Wu Yue, and I will not kill you. There is another sentence after that, "I will do my best forever, and I will do my best forever..."

That is, when I am here, you will be the safe and prosperous King of Wu Yue.

But this sentence undoubtedly has some bad signs...

So when Qian Chu heard Zhao Kuangyin's words, he cried and asked him to be three years old. Zhao Kuangyin said again: "Chuantu is far away, and you will only come after you have an edict. If you don't have an edict, don't use three years old."

Then he gave him a small yellow batter for him to watch on the road. Qian Chu got on the boat, returned to Wuyue, and opened the small yellow batter halfway, all of which were written by the ministers who asked him to leave him. Since then, Qian Chu has become more loyal to the Song Dynasty. However, Zhao Dazai can do his best for the rest of his life...

Zhao Kuangyin led his ministers to Luoyang, and appointed Prime Minister Shen Yilun as the left-behind and Da Neidu. The left-guard general Wang Renshanquan sentenced the three departments of the reign of the reign of the Kaifeng Prefecture.

This is a very interesting personnel transfer. When he went to Luoyang to worship his ancestors, Zhao Kuangyi also brought him, but he took Zhao Kuangyi's position as the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture as the prefect of Zhao Kuangyi, and there was also a hidden personnel arrangement. There were two more people in the capital, one was Zhao Kuangmei and the other was Zhao Dezhao. Although the power of the capital was two, Shen Yilun and Wang Renshan were ministers, and Zhao Kuangmei and Zhao Dezhao were children of the royal family. These two remained in the capital. Not to mention that they were in charge of their official positions, even if they did not have any important positions, Shen Yilun and Wang Renshan would be subject to their restraints.
