I have lived a very comfortable life recently, like a hot spring stream.

If the Jurchens had not gone south in a few years, Zhao Cheng might not have wanted to make trouble. He just taught his wife and daughter in Chizhou, studied and farmed, and sometimes went out of the city to find a female bandit Bai Chenxiang to have an affair. That was also a beautiful pastoral life.

Unfortunately, the Song people were destined to be harassed all the time. After Kou Zhun basically settled the Liao people, he faced the threat from the Western Xia. After Wang Anshi's policies basically settled the Xixia and Qingtang, he faced the rise of the Jurchens.

After the Jurchens were defeated, they had to face the most fierce Mongolian Tartars in history.

So the conclusion is that you have to make trouble and cannot stay in Chizhou forever.

Now, in addition to being comfortable in life and stable in academics, the sales and influence of "Lan Ruo Temple" are rising steadily. The new version of "Happy Three Kingdoms" is also being produced.

Zhao Cheng still has a good character, and he did not write randomly because he sold out his profits. He still racked his brains, because the better "Lanruo Temple", the greater the profits of "Happy Three Kingdoms". At the same time, as a literati who writes books, he will also gain greater gimmicks and attention.

"Lanruo Temple" plays with suspense, a simple mountain, a temple, a few people, a woman who never showed up, and a dog who later joined.

The story is simple and compact. The biggest highlight is that the three of them cannot get rid of them or die. They are full of suspicion, sometimes hostile and sometimes cooperate, and dare not share the same bed, but after they are separated, they are concerned about each other. Every time they meet, the mentality of wanting to cooperate and start a war has led to the simple and powerful tension of the story.

This is the characteristic of "Lan Ruo Temple", but such a story means that it is not written for a long time.

The third episode is being written, and Zhao Cheng has already informed Lao Chen that the entire "Lan Ruo Temple" will end in the third episode and I don't want to go down. This kind of story is not suitable for forcing water, otherwise it will hurt the popularity and cause readers to run away. Given that the profit is almost done, Lao Chen also agreed...

Miss Cai has been very idle recently and is chasing "Lan Ruo Temple". She is increasingly interested in this story. She originally thought that she could catch the author and tell the story, but Shuang'er caught an illiterate person. It was indeed Lan Ruo Temple. However, Ghost Foot Qi would only repeat the published ones, and finally drove them away in great disappointment.

Miss Cai is becoming more and more curious about the people who write stories, not just the story itself.

Cai Zhizhou has been very busy recently, not busy chasing stories, but only worried about the more and more copycats under Chizhou's rule.

Recently, someone was killed by bandits and a small caravan was hijacked. If you want to say that you can't bear it, these things are actually normal in the Song Dynasty. They will happen forever and can be tolerated. I just said that I don't know when it can last, and it seems that it will detonate sooner or later.

It’s not that my daughter and Su Zaifang’s idea was really wrong. At that time, Cai You said very loyally and bravely in Weishan Academy, but it may not be all true. To talk about suppression, as an official, Cai You certainly doesn’t like having bandits under his rule. In addition to making the officials appear stupid and cowardly, the most important thing is that the bandits are diverting the interests that should belong to the officials.

But there are indeed great risks in suppressing bandits. It is difficult to find out the basics. Without easy-to-use generals and elite troops, it will cause more serious problems.

This is why there were instructions from the school of the Secretariat, and it was written by his father, Old Cai Xiangye, who said: If you cannot suppress bandits, you will not win in a short period of war and you will not win. On the contrary, the coin minting in Yongfengjian of Chizhou was lagging behind or even stagnant. When there was insufficient copper, the court would definitely fall into a greater financial quagmire.

Cai You did not just listen to his father, and there were even contradictions and differences on some issues. But on this issue, Cai You knew that his father had tried his best. With the Song Dynasty, he could not solve the problem of deflation from beginning to end. Some time ago, because of the lack of copper, he had to use "being the top ten money" too much, which eventually led to bad consequences and bad politics, resulting in chaos in politics and finance.

When the top ten money is due to his inadequate consideration, but also his helplessness. If the execution is good, if the people believe him, Cai Jing and the officials listen to him, then the currency is always just a symbol. Not to mention being ten, it can operate even if it is used as a piece of paper as ten thousand.

The real problem lies in execution. In order to maintain an advantage in the struggle with political opponents, Cai Jing needed his followers. In addition, the unique rules of scholar-officials in the Northern Song Dynasty were undead, Cai Jing's policy was basically to "wind the hearts of officials" with looseness. The overly lenient administration caused many followers, which also represented too much corruption, which inevitably led to the normalization of wealth accumulation.

Then every level is making money and looking at the money. If you are the top ten money, you will really fail.

The mother-in-law said that the mother was right. How much responsibility should her father bear? Cai You didn't want to argue now. If the old guy collapsed now, it would be very unfavorable to the entire Cai family.

One thing Cai You thinks is right about the old guy: It is not suitable to suppress bandits now. If there is no elite force and no warrior, you will not win in a short time. In addition to the significant impact of people's livelihood, Yongfeng Prison may be closed. When the war is over, copper cannot be transported in. How can life-saving coins be transported out of Chizhou?

Although they are ugly now, they have reached a balance with the copycats for the time being. They have not yet connected and dare not seize the government's copper transport team. At the same time, the copper mines they privately mined and the copper coins they cast have continued to flow into the Song Dynasty economy, which to a certain extent was also alleviating the money shortage.

"If internal wars go hand in hand, the 'copper coins' of Southeast government and Southeast bandits have significantly reduced their inflows into the economy, then I Song Pills."

This is the basic instructions sent by Cai Jing to the southeastern routes of the basic plate.

The advantage is that the southeastern routes have always been the basic base of Cai Jing and are a wealthy place. The gentry and clan power is too strong, so this area is least affected by Zhao Ting's policies and has not yet broken openly with the gang's counterfeits.

As for the southeast, especially the north with strong folk customs, there are many hidden dangers. The wanted criminals were obviously gone all over the ground under Zhao Tingzhi's intensified policy. They have begun to openly kill officials, openly rob the wealthy families, run away when they do the case, and there is a tendency to gather each other.

How to solve these problems is obviously a political issue rather than a simple Song Dynasty rule. If possible, Cai You knew that his father Cai Jing also wanted to use a big move to eliminate all the bandits in the world. The problem must be beaten by the bandits!

To narrow down to a specific place, like Zhao Tingzhi, once he sends troops, he cannot defeat the bandits. It is not just as simple as the government embarrassment. It will allow the thieves to see the weakness of the government, and then more people who want to get it for nothing to join the bandits to speculate. Even the government and the generals of the army and the army have the chance to surrender to the village, which has begun to happen in the northern region.

It is very simple to explain from the perspective of human nature. The official army is also a human being. He can't defeat the bandits and die in vain. He can drink and eat meat when he joins the village. He wears a gold belt for killing and setting fire to wait for the imperial guards. This climate is formed and the credibility of the court falls to a threshold, and the world will be in chaos.

After thinking about it, Cai You picked up the policy from Zhao Cheng and took a closer look.

This idea is really novel. Playthings can indeed make people lose their ambitions. The problem in the Song Dynasty is that it is too relaxed. The government is having fun and drunk. The bandits and gangs are waiting for the opportunity with all their might, gradually moving from loose to gathering.

To a certain extent, the student named Zhao Cheng was right. He let these bandits slowly relax and slowly implant some ideas. By the way, they really dispel their thoughts by not saying it for a while, but it is possible to do it after a little bit of anger and ease some time. There is no need to go against the father's existing policy tone.

This is the role of literati. Unfortunately, the real literati in the Song Dynasty claimed to be aloof. The things they wrote and said were really lacking in interest. They talked about them in a long and vague way. Not to mention the illiterate bandits, sometimes the terrible Zhang Ji didn't know what they were talking about. This is the characteristic of being unearthy.

"It would be great if the author of "Lanruo Temple" and Zhao Cheng were the same person."
