Chapter 10 Ouyang Debates the New Deal! (3)
“Han Gong is suitable for everything:
The last time I received a letter from Mr. Han, my subordinates were also on the way to Mizhou. When the messenger caught up with me, I had already arrived in Mizhou.
What Mr. Han is concerned about is confirmed before receiving the letter. Next, my subordinates will describe what they see and hear, hoping to give Mr. Han some help.
During the Jiayou period, the Mizhou Banqiao Town established the Maritime Bureau to manage foreign trade and impose commercial taxes. Although the establishment time was not long, it was already known as the four major foreign trade ports in the country, along with the three ports of Guangzhou, Quanzhou and Mingzhou.
Since Mizhou Port is such a good port, the cargo throughput is naturally extremely large. When I arrived at the port, a group of sea ships arrived, and the number of sea ships was only seen in my life.
It is said that it was a large ship of eight thousand materials, which was produced by Quanzhou Shipyard. It is said that as many years ago, Quanzhou Shipyard was able to build a large ship of five thousand materials. At that time, most shipbuilding workshops could only build a large ship of two thousand materials, but now most shipbuilding workshops have not been able to build a large ship of five thousand materials.
Most of the sea ships of the Ocean Group have been updated to eight thousand materials. It is said that there are ten thousand materials ships under construction. I don’t know how huge the ten thousand materials ship is. Just when I stand in front of the eight thousand materials ship, I feel as small as an ant...
I think my husband doesn't want to listen to this much, so he should talk about the goods he carries. Because this seems to be a special purchase of disaster relief materials, most of them are used to fill their stomachs. Rice is just one of them, as well as medicinal materials, sweet potatoes and other materials.
Rice and other materials fill each container. Regarding the container, my subordinates have to explain it to my husband. The so-called container is a box designed to improve efficiency and facilitate transportation. The container size is two meters long and one meters wide and one meters high. The material is made of wood. Nanyang Shangzi wood is made of sturdy and resistant to bumps. It is mostly transported by gantry cranes on and off the boat, and less manpower is used, and it is extremely efficient.
Each container of rice and sweet potatoes can provide food for people in a village and a village for several months. Each ship can carry nearly 100 containers. There are as many as 100 ships in a batch of sea boats in Mizhou Port. Just one batch of grain can solve the urgent needs of several hungry people!
What I saw was only Mizhou Port. I believe that other places such as Dengzhou Port, Haizhou Port, Chuzhou Port, Suzhou Port, etc. should be the same. The famine in Jiangbei in the Song Dynasty seemed to be able to be resolved. What remains is that each transporter transports food to various disaster areas, hungry and hunger can be resolved immediately.
Ouyang Bianzhen is the answer to the people’s upside down and the Buddhas of all families!…”
Han Qi read the letter several times before handing it to the anxious Lu Gongzhu.
Lu Gongzhu opened his eyes wide and looked at it several times, and seemed to be very unbelievable: "Where did Ouyang Bian buy so much food?"
Han Qi shook his head and said, "The world is so big that you can see through it all. In the past, I thought that the world was the Liao, Xia, Song, Tubo, Uighurs, etc., but later I accidentally saw the "Romance of the Oceanic Kingdoms" written by Ouyang Bian, and I realized that there are still many countries overseas, such as Champa, Java, Old Port, Sumatra, Alu, Zhenla, Siam, Mantaga, etc., and even further away, there are dozens or hundreds of small countries where the sea ships can reach.
It is said that the weather is humid and extremely fertile. The seeds can grow fruits without supervision. If this is true, it is not surprising that such a large amount of grain can be found. After all, the goods from the Song Dynasty are the most popular overseas. If they exchange grain for exquisite goods from the Song Dynasty, they will probably flock to them."
Mr. Lu couldn't help but be amazed: "How much does it cost!"
Han Qi smiled and said, "In the end, the national treasury will guarantee the bottom line. This is a state affairs, so how could it be privately taken over by Oceanwide Group?"
Mr. Lu looked at Han Qi with concern: "Suang Han, this time Ouyang Bian has really become a Buddha in all families. His reputation will even surpass Mr. Han, in the future..."
Han Qi's smile was curled.
Han Qi was naturally happy that the people could survive, but it would be too unfavorable for Ouyang Bian to take this opportunity to gain reputation.
Compared with Wang Anshi, Ouyang Bian's flaws are reputation, age and qualifications. In order to get rid of the blame, Han Qi even agreed to Ouyang Bian to participate in political affairs at the age of 27. This has broken the record since the Song Dynasty, and even Duke Kou Lai is not as good as Ouyang Bian.
The consideration here is naturally that Ouyang Bian cannot complete this task, and will sink because of it. Unexpectedly, Ouyang Bian will be able to complete it. The reputation and achievements he received this time made up for his reputation, age and qualifications in one fell swoop. With Ouyang Bian's huge roots, Ouyang Bian can already compete with them head-on!
Thinking of this, Han Qi felt a little cold.
He and Ouyang Bian have reached today, and they are as deep as the sea of grudges.
In the past, it was a trivial matter. This time, he threw such a big blame on Ouyang Bian, which was clearly to kill him. No matter how generous Ouyang Bian was, he would not forgive him. If he could tolerate this, he would be a true saint.
However, what Han Qi didn't know was that Ouyang Bian was not a saint, but he really didn't want to care about these things, or it wasn't that he didn't want to care about them, but he couldn't care about them, because Ouyang Bian did not have the confidence to put Han Qi's faction to death.
This is completely known in history.
When the Song Dynasty handled civil servants, they were usually exiled and sent to other places, and they were out of sight and were not upset for a moment.
But once the court changes, these demoted people will return to the center again. When these resentful people come back, they will immediately attack the new law, just like Sima Guang. Once they are in power, they will immediately abolish all new law, regardless of whether it is a good policy or not.
Su Shi, the unlucky guy, even expressed his desire to identify it, and was demoted again.
Since they cannot be killed, they will come back one day. Once they come back, no matter how perfect Ouyang Bian is, they will definitely abolish it!
So, reconciliation is the only way.
However, Han Qi didn't know this. In fact, it would be difficult for him to work if he knew it because there were still people interfering.
That's right, that person is Zhao Xu.
In historical books, what we see is that Song Shenzong Zhao Xu has done everything for reform, but there are some small details that are very interesting. For example, if you show me the impeachment of ministers to each other, it is hard to say that this is not a provocation, and there are also some compromises between the two factions, and there are also some contexts that can be seen.
The Emperor's technique of the Lao Zhao family plays a role in it.
Han Qi felt fear, so he dared not relax.
This situation is actually the so-called [Thucydides Trap].
But Han Qi didn't know.
