Chapter 224: Others can't do it

Liao Xiaoxiao clapped her hands and said in a crisp voice: "It's not possible to sell it. Officials, when those recipes are sold, the price of alkaline noodles has increased several times. If you sell it again, someone will buy it. If you want to open a glass shop, you can't buy alkaline noodles. Even my glass shop will be affected and you can't sell it."

Kasili was still jealous, but after hearing this, his eyes flashed and said to other words: "Official, my ostrich is going to takeout, are we also selling a few recipes to let people know this secret?"

Zhao Xing slapped his legs: "Yes, why did I forget the ostrich? If my ostrich wants to expand breeding, I have to ask someone to buy it. Well, you can find a few people in private, sell a few recipes quietly, and earn some spare money by yourself."

Kasli jumped up happily and quickly turned around to make arrangements. Zhao Xing originally wanted to ask Kou Lianer why he came here with Kasli, but Kasli was in a hurry. Zhao Xing endured it and suppressed the topic again.

Kou Lian'er once agreed with Zhao Xing to identify the person who inquired about the details of the castle, but she did not have time to receive information in the latter attack. The subsequent development of the situation seemed to indicate that the incident had been understood. Since then, Zhao Xing has never seen Kou Lian'er again.

Now, Kou Lianer suddenly appeared at home in Yangzhou, and Zhao Xing's servants were carefully selected because of the attack, and his wealth could definitely stand the test. Kou Lianer obviously did not belong to this category.

Kasli brought not many servants, and six or seven people were placed in a small courtyard. Zhao Xing was too busy and threw this matter behind his head in a blink of an eye. When he sold out the Yangzhou land, it was already mid-October. His memorial was sent to the capital, and the ministers were in an uproar.

Lu Dafang held the memorial and murmured to himself: "It turns out that money can really make money. He did it, but he actually did it, Su Laopo received a good disciple."

Liu Zhi asked quickly: "How did it do it?"

Lu Dafang Yang Yang's memorial and replied: "Cai Jing and he deposited the money from the sell-off farm to Industrial Bank and borrowed some money to purchase wasteland. Once these wastelands were reclaimed, they were turned into mature fields and sold for several times the price..."

Lu Dafang looked down at the memorial and continued, "The memorial said that they earned an average of 3.4 times the money. Two percent paid back the loan from the ticket shop, one percent used to purchase new fields, the remaining eight percent were used to pay for the road construction of the wing, and four parts were used to support the officials and support the Yangzhou horse army."

Liu Anshi was furious: "The government borrowed loans to reclaim wasteland - this is the new method of seedlings; leaving idle fields to raise horses - this is the method of protecting horses; hiring a wingman to build roads - this is the method of exempting service. Can't you see this kind of memorials? There are new methods everywhere, but they are just a revision and are unaware of it.

Cai Jing's guy was indeed vicious. Now he has caught up with Zhao Liren. I heard that Liren is very good at doing projects. All projects are completed quickly and save money. No, you can't let the two of them get together like this and impeach them. Although these two people have no new laws to prove, they have the reality of the new laws. If they want to be impeached, they must be impeached! "

Liu Anshi was full of confidence, Liu Zhi was hesitant, Lu Dafang intended to be a peacemaker, but the Political Affairs Hall could not make a conclusion on this matter, so he made a fuss in the hall. Liu Anshi roared at Empress Dowager Gao and asked the Empress Dowager to be the officials of Yangzhou. The little emperor Zhao Xu looked blank and could not see his expression. Empress Dowager Gao glanced at Su Shi and was immediately angry.

"Everyone, please stay here, I want to ask: How is the harvest in various places this year?"

Su Song was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. He answered with a bad attitude: "No, this year, the north has a severe drought and another locust plague. The south has flooded and the spring snow falls in the wrong season. The harvest of each state has decreased. Only Mizhou, Hangzhou, Yangzhou, and a few few prefectures and counties do not require relief. The rest of the states need to provide food. I expect that the warehouses of various places are often closed and there is still a serious shortage of grain reserves, and I still need to buy grain from overseas."

Speaking of Hangzhou, and when it comes to buying grain from overseas, Empress Dowager Gao looked at Su Shi with appreciation. The overseas grain relief was opened by Su Shi, and the specific implementation was Zhao Xing. Since there, the Song Dynasty court has also learned to be smart. In the past, the domestic food and grass were not enough, and the grain prices soared, and the court had no choice but to do anything, but now the food and grass are not enough, so the court has stepped up the casting of a batch of new coins and entrusts a business to buy a batch of grain and grass overseas to enrich the treasury. Therefore, the Song Dynasty is not worried about food now, but only worried that there is not enough copper and cannot be cast into new coins.

Su Shi still looked awkward there because the matter involved Zhao Xing, and many of the techniques Zhao Xing used were used in Hangzhou, so he was not able to speak for the time being... Well, everything is covered by Empress Dowager Gao anyway.

Empress Dowager Gao was a little curious, and she asked, "The situation in Hangzhou is good, I know that. I heard that Su Qing repaired the two rivers and dredged the West Lake in Hangzhou. When he left, he left more than 200,000 yuan in the treasury. Therefore, Hangzhou's situation this year is good, so it is natural, but what's going on in Mizhou? Isn't that place drought for ten years?"

Su Song continued to answer, and he hummed like squeezing toothpaste: "Zhao Liren, who introduced Machi from Mayi during his tenure in Mizhou, and planted Pingpo fruits everywhere. Both of these things are drought-resistant. This year's Machi yield is amazing, and Mizhou has no worries about food shortage. This autumn, Pingpo fruits began to bear fruit. It is said that Liren's concubine Chen was still thinking about this matter and sent people to Mizhou to make jam, juice, and wine using Pingpo fruits. Therefore, although the weather is severe, Mizhou farmers are still considering food and clothing."

Privy Councilor Liu Zhi chased his beard and said with a faint smile: "There is also the effect of Mizhou. Zhao Liren once established a utility army in the Mizhou regiment training, with the entire rank of "General". This group of generals mainly escorted the caravans and engaged in horse trading from the Liao Kingdom. This year, Mizhou supplied 30,000 war horses in the court, and the six imperial guards had all equipped war horses. Because of the profits of this horse trading business, I heard that Mizhou is now half a year old. According to Zhao Liren's words, if you throw it away, you can hit six generals and four ordinary people.

According to the report of the Office of the Ministry of Education, because these mochi and Pingpo fruits are easy to raise and do not require human care, even boys in Mizhou are learning to drive boats and sell horses, so their income is naturally high. Therefore, it is not surprising that Mizhou's taxes have increased by several percent this year."

After Liu Zhi said this, what else did Liu Anshi fight for? Empress Dowager Gao glanced at Su Shi. Su Shi was already full of excitement, his lips were squirming, and he seemed to hold back all his rebuttal words to be gushed out, but Empress Dowager Gao refused to Su Shi to come forward. She waved her hand and stopped everyone's argument and said: "In this way, what about Yangzhou's taxes this year?"

Su Songda was weak: "Zhao Li people... moved 50,000 refugees this year. Although these 50,000 people were exempt from taxes, Yangzhou dredged several tributaries of canals, increasing the number of ships several times. As a result, the commercial tax increased by 15%. Tens of thousands of Dingkou will continue to reclaim wasteland next year. It is expected that they will start paying taxes the year after that, so it is expected that the tax will be overturned."

Empress Dowager Gao seemed more righteous. She waved her hand and said, "Zhao Liren, the taxes in the places he has been in are rising, right? If there are constant famines today, there should be such officials sharing the worries for the court. What are the ministers fighting for? Is the imperial edict: Cai Jing and Zhao Xing worked diligently for the country, Zhao Xing went to the post to build Mizhou and rewarded the first-rank imperial edict of the Chen family. The two of them planned to continue to open up the land, so the family of the ministers, took advantage of the winter leisure to quickly select refugees and transfer them to Yangzhou. This residence was reported to the public. Issues: Officials from all over the country think carefully about the Yangzhou example. If there are wasteland in each prefecture and county, they can also try to reclaim wasteland like Yangzhou, and share the worries with the court."

The officials stopped talking, but several ruling officials were still wondering why Empress Dowager Gao waved her hands while saying this. They retreated with wonder and drafted the edict.

They didn't know that Empress Dowager Gao waved her hand, not to deny her words. She was signaling Su Shi to stop talking, so as not to cause attack from others. The ministers retreated, and Empress Dowager Gao left Su Shi alone and asked with a kind look: "What new words have you had in your family recently?"

Su Shi bowed: "The sage, I am busy recently and have not written new words."

Empress Dowager Gao shook her head regretfully, and the little emperor Zhao Xu was still sitting upright on the lounge chair like a puppet, rolling his eyes at Su Shi's back frequently.

Empress Dowager Gao asked again: "Your family is full of disasters and famines, and Zhao Liren frequently share the worries of the court. You think about whether Zhao Liren's method can be promoted to the world?"

Su Shi shook his head: "When I was in Hangzhou, I found that many things can be done by others, but others cannot do them. In Yangzhou, people can do them without spending the imperial court's money, but if others go, it may not be feasible. If they are not done well, it will become a policy that disturbs the people."

"Why that is it, you'll tell me in detail."

"I reported: Zhao Liren is good at commanding people. When I was in Hangzhou, I dredged the two rivers, dug the West Lake, and repaired the roads. All of them were handled by Zhao Liren. According to what I know, Zhao Liren has hundreds of people who only calculate the people.

Every time I formulate a project, Li Ren will calculate with his students, arrange the construction sections of roads, and several rotations, each team needs to take several steps to calculate the ruler, the food supplied every day is calculated to two, and the time of working for the people is calculated to the hour. My little Shi Gaoqi once read Li Ren's account books and said he couldn't understand it.

I don’t understand, but I have observed that the reason why I used so little money to do several major things is closely related to Zhao Liren’s command and allocation. I think to myself: If I ask me to do the same job, it will cost more than several times and take more than several times.

Zhao Liren has a skill. He can do the most things with the least money and the most things, and others do the same thing. For example, if the Yangzhou land reclamation is done by other county, it will cost several times more than once, and the officials will work together. If there is a little corruption, the refugees will not only gain nothing, but also sell their children and daughters. In the end, they will run into the mountains and forests and become bandits...

In addition, Li family has a wealth of money, which is not a living salary. Therefore, if you are too busy, you can take no money. Moreover, Li people are not an unreasonable person. Afterwards, you can always reveal some leftovers from your fingers and share the weight with others, so that officials and officials can enjoy it.

This latter skill is quite difficult to grasp. Originally, the people were good at saving money. However, when the officials were divided, they became unconscious and became corruption and misleading. However, the officials were satisfied and the people were satisfied. Anyone who had a little selfishness would inevitably fall into corruption and bribery. Therefore, I will think about the promotion of what the Empress Dowager said and feels great concern."

Empress Dowager Gao looked at Su Shi with a more friendly look: "You said that people in Li are good at doing big things with small money. The part of the money saved is not damaged, and they are also more incompatible with their colleagues. On the other hand, their colleagues are more in line with each other. However, if this matter is slightly beyond the boundary, it is corruption, right? - Historian, there is no need to record this. Delete. People say that what you have learned in your life is based on what you teach. They say that you have been suffering in Huangzhou for several years and have taught a good disciple. It is better to teach the instructors as well."

Su Shi was crying in his stomach, but he could not deny it, because Zhao Xing had always been so preaching that he had admitted it complacently before. So he could not deny it at this moment.

What's more, Zhao Xing's knowledge also involves a secret. Su Shi once heard the Cheng disciples vaguely talk about Zhao Xing's learning of Wuhou's legacy. According to legend, Zhuge Liang was also a master of organization science. He personally decided on the criminal law with more than ten bans in the army. You can imagine how strict the administrative system established by Zhuge Liang was.

From this perspective, what Zhao Xing showed was exactly in line with the students' introduction. In addition, Zhao Xing occasionally spoke a few words of Sichuan dialect, which was very reliable to tell the scenery of Sichuan. These all show that the statement of the descendant of Wuhou of Zhao Xing is quite credible.

However, this science has always been abolished by the king, so Su Shi dared not mention it. He could only retreat with sweating profusely, wait until he went home uneasy, and quickly wrote a letter to Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing didn't know the dispute in the court. On that day, the land in Hangzhou was sold out and the season was winter again. The operation of the government slowed down. He also had time to squat at home to relax. Kasili brought a few ostrich feathers, and the ostrich feathers were more than one meter long, woven into a necklace. They were worn on their necks, and the long feathers were one meter higher than their heads. They were like a peacock with a wide open screen. Kasili wore them at the official banquet, wearing this feather crown on his head, and dancing a famous beauties. Liao Xiaoxiao immediately fell in love with them and wanted to make a fuss.

Zhao Xing was disturbed by her. He was thinking about whether to pull a few hairs from the ostrich's tail. Now that he is free, he quietly rushed into the ostrich yard with his hands on his back.

An ostrich that is more than one person tall is not afraid of people. It is said that its kicking force is two tons. This pedaling force makes it a running athlete among animals. It has always been the only one who bullies people, and no one can bully it. So it rubs forward when it sees people, clamoring and asking for feeding. If you dare not feed it, you will be bothered by you.

In recent years, although Zhao Xing has also trained some ostrich breeders, because of the enthusiasm of ostrich, there are frequent injured people among the breeders, which makes the main breeders still the black slaves hired from Africa.

The door of the small yard was closed, and a female voice was shouting to feed the birds, saying that it was Song Yu, who seemed to be a rare Song Dynasty breeder. Zhao Xing knocked on the door, and the sound inside stopped. Then a man shouted: "Who told you to stop? I didn't say stop, how dare you stop?"

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of fisting to the flesh. The woman who was beaten did not call for help, but just a painful humming sound of lowering her voice.

Zhao Xing was furious: "Open the door, why do you have such evil servants in my yard? Beating a woman is really hateful."

A serene sound came from the door. After a while, the door opened, revealing a blue-faced face. She respectfully bowed to Zhao Xing, then stepped back, stepped back to the door with small steps, and shouted to the yard: "Official, the master is here."

Zhao Xing was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a long time, he could tell from the words streaked on the other party's hand that the pig-headed face in front of him belonged to Kou Lian'er because she had two words streaked on her hand: Qingzhou.

A bench sound came from the door. After a while, a thin and fair man clenched his fist with one hand and opened his hand, not knowing where to put it. The hand clenched his fist tried hard to hide behind him.

The man looked weak and elegant, and Zhao Xing recognized this child. He was a native of Hangzhou. When the bandits raided Zhaoxing Castle, he and several civilians on the dock helped Zhuang Ding close the gate of the castle. Taking this opportunity, he was promoted from a dock worker to Zhuang Ding and entered Zhao Xing's inner courtyard.

This person was named Wu San. After entering the castle, he was renamed "Wu Xin" - the servants of the Song Dynasty were named "loyalty, righteous, benevolent, wise, brave, trustworthy, courtesy, integrity, shame, filial piety and brotherhood".

This guy was literate and used to learn arithmetic from people on the dock. He knew some basic accounting methods. He was smart and very eye-catching. So he followed a group of Cheng's children and did some work in inventorying warehouses. Zhao Xing didn't expect that people who are so docile usually have a vicious side.

Zhao Xing usually stays in the mansion with warmth, but the servants all know that it is terrible once this master gets angry. Many servants who follow Zhao Xingjiu are privately rumoring that Zhao Xing's bravery in the seven seas and also talk about the killing during that period. Therefore, although Zhao Xing smiles all day long, no servant dares to be presumptuous in front of him.

Especially in recent days, Zhao Xing slaughtered another village of bandits, which made the servants extremely afraid of Zhao Xing's murderous aura. Now, the face that was usually full of gentle smiles was covered with frost. Wu Xin was frightened and shivered like the remaining lotus in the wind.

"I didn't expect that there were such a vicious servant in my family. It was right to beat women like beating enemies for all ages. Although you are weak, you can be calm when you see bandits. You know that you are so brave.

It seems that you not only have the ability to beat women, but also have the courage to face bandits, but bandits are not women. In my family, they beat women like this. What will others say after seeing them? Do you think this is what I beat?

I, Zhao Liren, are the one who beats women? I, Zhao Liren, are the one who is harsh to family servants? When did I, Zhao Liren, touch a little finger to a woman? Your hands are itchy, why don’t you go to the martial arts training ground to compete with those martial artists, but beat women here to train your strength? Bastard! Villain!"

Zhao Xing was furious and was thinking about how to deal with Wu Xin. At this time, Wu Xin was so scared by his anger that he collapsed to the ground. The hand that was trying hard to hide behind him also released. A sock in his hand fell to the ground. He lying down, he exposed his feet in his clothes. Sure enough, the guy wore one foot and the other was bare. It seemed that Zhao Xing was knocking on the door quickly. This guy was anxious to wear socks, so he had only time to put on one.

Looking at the place where Wu Xin had just been, a stool fell to the ground, and there was a chair in front of the stool. Judging from the situation at the scene, the two of them were just behind closed doors, and Kou Lian'er was pinching Wu Xin's feet, while Wu Xin was enjoying it, while beating Kou Lian'er.
