Chapter two hundred and sixteen
When Zhao Kuangyin sipped tea, Song Jiu understood: "Your Majesty personally?"
Zhao Kuangyin was happy with satisfaction. Song Jiu couldn't remember it anymore, and he would be very disappointed.
It is not considered his beauty. Indeed, the number one person who can fight in the Song Dynasty is probably Zhao Kuangyin. However, in the entire history, he may not be the most outstanding emperor. In some separatist eras, many emperors who can fight, including Liu Yu, Tuoba Tao, Chai Rong, Li Cunxu and others. He was not the best among the unification emperors. Yang Jian and Sima Yan are not easy to say. Although Liu Bang can fight, he was still weaker. The latter is not counted. The first person who can fight was Liu Xiu, and all the famous generals during the Han Dynasty were overshadowed by him. The second person who can fight was Li Shimin, but he met Li Jing tragically, and the third person can rank Zhao Kuangyin.
But in the Song Dynasty, no general could match him, including Li Jixun, Dang Jin, Cao Bin, Pan Mei, and Wang Quanbin.
"It's a pity that I can't think of a weapon that is conducive to field battles," Song Jiu sighed. This time, Zhao Kuangyin's personal expedition must have to fight with the Khitans. It would be great if there were some simple weapons, such as the Divine Arm Bow of the Song Dynasty, which did not play a role in the hands of those literati and officials later, but it would be like a tiger with wings on Zhao Da's hand. But he just couldn't understand the principle. As long as he understood the principle, even if he used money to smash it down, he would be able to smash it sooner or later. But if he couldn't think of it, there would be no chance.
"It's also useful. You said you very much Youyun. I don't agree. That's the Khitan's big granary. Can it be easily obtained?"
"Yes, I don't think about it now," Song Jiu said frustratedly. The reason for this statement was from the forum in his previous life. But is it that easy? Are they all better than Zhao Da?
"If you get Youyun, it is the power of the whole country, so I have prepared the inner treasury. Several southern countries belong to our dynasty. There is no worries anymore. The inner treasury has a lot of money and silk. You can compete with the Khitan for national strength. At that time, your weapons will come in handy. If I occupy a city, I can defend a city. How big can Youyun be? If I occupy a city and land, I will sooner or later drive the foreigners out of the pass." Zhao Kuangyin didn't say anything else, that was the blast furnace.
The iron pit has various problems, and the manpower is insufficient, but the iron production is soaring. Many people suggest that another steel supervisor be set up, but Song Jiu disagrees and says that he will wait for new cement. However, there are still smart people who doubt it and see some problems. They can suppress Zhao Kuangyin.
Then wait for new cement.
So Song Jiu desperately demolished and demolished the steel supervisor.
This problem is solved, which is about the time when the steel supervision is widely established. At that time, iron production surges. With iron, more weapons can be made, and even cement can be transported to build stronger city walls. Then push forward step by step, and the Khitan nightmare will come.
Song Jiu was a little sad. I'm afraid this was Zhao Kuangyin's real idea. Look at Zhao Kuangyin, who was so capable of fighting, attached so much importance to the Khitan, and Zhao Kuangyi. In military affairs, Zhao Da was too far away. He whispered: "Yes, the Khitan is all cavalry. How can he be underestimated?"
"You take this map back and study it carefully. You have a lot of affairs. When I am about to go out, I will not call you to travel with you. But when the troops are at the city of Taiyuan, you must come. You must be prepared," Zhao Kuangyin said. The gunpowder is about to explode, and it must be calculated. Song Jiu's students cannot do it yet. This has to be waited for the time being.
"I dare not obey my orders. Your Majesty, I have a request. The two brothers-in-law got some money and spent too much money in Shundian. Please ask your Majesty to urge them to donate money and use it in the academy."
Zhao Kuangyin laughed silently. He was not Pan Weide's brother. He would ask why he urged the Pan brothers to donate. However, he disagreed: "No, General Pan Mei worked hard in Hunan and made great contributions. His children made some money later. Why should I ask them to donate?"
"Your Majesty, I don't have enough money, but they don't know how to use it. They are using it blindly, so it's better to do some serious things."
"It's just that they donated some money to the academy. What about the future? I'm still worried about this."
The academy has not been built yet, and it will not be possible to recruit students in a short while, but there will be many places to spend money later, such as books, ink, paper and inkstones, and living allowances for poor students. Song Jiu's experimental fees, and even students of higher classes, are deeply studied. They give up the opportunity to make money, study knowledge, and then feed back more students to more than one student. These students will rob them when they come out. How to subsidize them will be amazing. One person has to pay at least fifty dollars a month. The court allocates less and insufficient funds, and how much ministers will quarrel. If Song Jiu comes to pay, it will not be Song Jiu's. Besides, there are nearly two thousand students, how to pay?
"Your Majesty, I have thought about it a long time ago. The first is a good household. Your Majesty, I will recruit more students in the first few years, but how many students will recruit in the next year? What is a good household?"
Zhao Kuangyin was stunned for a moment, then woke up and suddenly burst into laughter.
He certainly doesn't know the specifics, but he can figure it out and it's really full. In fact, there are only less than 300 people coming out every year, and only 300 people will be added later. After so many years of grade assessments, one grade may only accept a few people.
The real quota is still in the first grade four classes, that is, the descendants of good people, martyrs, filial sons and good households. The first three are only for poor households. Zhao Kuangyin likes them, and the country must unite people. At least, give poor households a chance to make a name for themselves, so the people will not be very resentful. Only the latter has articles to do, so what is a good household? Can it be called a good household without donating money?
Song Jiu said again: "Your Majesty, you can also do something next year and force some wealthy families to donate money and put the money into Hezhou. Dividends will be generated every year. If the two are combined, the court will not have to pay a penny. Of course, they are all the disciples of Your Majesty, and Your Majesty also wants to be willing."
"What does it mean? Nonsense, it's not conventional," Zhao Kuangyin laughed and tapped Song Jiu's leg with a jade axe.
The emperor's disciple actually made him like it.
Song Jiu said again: "Your Majesty, please be sure."
"No, this is my bottom line. Think of other methods."
"If your Majesty did not give Wei Zheng Weiqing some official positions."
"Did you think about it?"
"Your Majesty, that's 50,000 yuan."
"You said I can buy my official duties with money."
"I dare not, if it really doesn't work, I'll add another 20,000 yuan."
"How much money did you make?"
"Not much. I barely cost 80,000 yuan, but the two servants of Weichen asked the faint lord of the Southern Han to detain it. It was a headache."
"I can't send a large army south for your two servants."
"Yes. Weichen finds a way to rescue them."
"Dangerous, this person is both stupid and cruel. If you deal with him, you are trying to get a slut with a tiger."
"When dealing with him, he sent someone to come to him." But Song Jiu was worried. Fortunately, the man had not left yet. It seemed that he would make some arrangements when he went south next spring. So he asked: "Your Majesty, how about I ask Chen Hongjin, Fujian to send a few reliable guards to assist the manager in Guangzhou?"
"Aren't Chen Hongjin's subordinates human? You also made Wang Quanbin's mistake. Redeem people and don't go to Guangzhou in the future. Pan Mei died six or seven guards for your cotton. Don't you know?"
"I really don't know."
"That's it, I promise you."
Song Jiu stood up and said goodbye.
Zhao Kuangyin was not too bad to Song Jiu, but it did not satisfy Song Jiu. Song Jiu and Shi Hanqing became increasingly hatred. Zhao Kuangyin instead promoted Shi Hanqing as Du Yuhou, the commander in front of the palace. His father Shi Wande was the commander of Long Jiejun again, and the father and son were both prosperous. If Song Jiu had not married Pan Mei's daughter, Shi Hanqing might have come to the door. It was a pity that this kid was very clever and spent a lot of effort to make Wang Jixun rely on Shi Hanqing. But Shi Hanqing was not deceived and ignored this uncle. If he had made some mistakes, Shi Hanqing was finished. However, this further judged that Zhang Qiong's death was not Zhao Kuangyi, but another Zhao...
If it were Zhao Kuangyi's people, Zhao Kuangyi would be gloomy this year. It would be impossible for Shi Hanqing to be promoted instead of being demoted.
Song Jiu also inquired that this person had a bad reputation among the imperial guards. But he was so favored that the soldiers had to dare not speak out.
This kind of encounter, just like his feelings for Zhao Pu, gradually faded towards Zhao Kuangyin. Not to mention that Zhao Kuangyin is good to him, if any wise monarch would have done these things by himself, it would not be bad. He rode a horse to the Pan family and told the story.
Pan Weide was anxious: "Half of the 70,000 pieces we came from had already been used up."
"How did you use it?" Song Jiu asked in surprise.
"Who knows."
"If my father-in-law knows that you spend so much when he comes back, you can wait and get beaten."
"What should I do now?" Pan Weigu asked. Song Jiu looked at his new wife and finally knew why they used money so quickly. Seeing her head full of pearls and jade, she shook her head and smiled bitterly: "I promised Your Majesty that you will pay it even if you don't pay it. The remaining money will be waiting for news from Hangquan. It's really not possible. I'll give you a cushion for you. This is an opportunity for the third and fourth brothers. You have so many brothers. If you don't have this opportunity, the court will really give you official positions one by one?"
Pan Weigu is timid.
It was said that their money was actually all arranged by Song Jiu. They only paid a little capital and servants, and they were not allowed to speak out for their third and fourth brothers.
"Also, you can't use this if you have money in the future. Look at the yamen and went to Hangzhou together."
"It would have been great if you had prepared some mirrors earlier."
"I thought it was then," Song Jiu said angrily. If it weren't for Yuping, he would have never thought about the sea, but he was also negligent. He also said: "I thought about it earlier and later, what is the difference for you? The dividends of the stock stocks are enough to ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. If a prime minister is not greedy and ink, how much will it be in a year! How much will your father pay in a year?"
The two brothers didn't say anything.
Song Jiu said again: "Also, that gold shop will be established sooner or later, and that will require capital. If you don't have money in your hands, just wait and see others get rich."
"Brother-in-law, how many times have you said about the gold shop? What exactly does it operate?"
"The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed," Song Jiu returned home, and was preparing to give a gift to another father-in-law, and said to Yuping: "Why do I write a letter to let your father learn from Yao Neibin?"
When Chai Rong attacked the Khitan, Yao Neibin was attached to him, but his wife and children were all in the Khitan. Until a few years ago, his son Yao Chengzan secretly came from Youzhou to surrender, and he did not dare to exterminate him, otherwise his mother and brothers would be executed by the Khitan. Two years ago, Tian Guangsi, a citizen of Youzhou, took Yao Neibin and six others to the Song Dynasty from a small road. In a simple sentence, I don’t know how much effort it took, and even Song Jiu suspected that Zhao Kuangyin sent a senior scout to assist. Zhao Kuangyin rewarded money, silk, saddles and horses, and sent it to Qingzhou in the northwest. Yao Neibin served as the Qingbai Salt Envoy of Qingzhou. He was famous and the Qiang people were afraid of it. He was called Yao Dacheng. Such ministers should be treated well. If Yuping’s father was interested, Song Jiu made a request to Zhao Kuangyin. He would also walk by the sea, which might not be impossible.
Yuping said hesitantly: "My father also has a young family there. He is also the son-in-law of the Ma family..."
"That's it, either you have the opportunity to meet your father in the future and have a good chat with him. Actually, the Khitan officials are doing a very hard job, so why bother?"
"Um."
The dividends began, but Song Jiu's money was still useful, which was used for planning for the Two Rivers. The disputes about him became less and less. When this became a habit, the controversy would gradually disappear. The cold winter passed quickly.
Spring is coming.
Song Jiu asked the craftsmen to build a new bridge. Two bridges were built to the north of the two bridges, two major roads were built to open the square, and another bridge was built to the south end. Henan bridge was pushed down and rebuilt, which was larger and wider. However, it was still a flat stone bridge and a bridge was built to the south. In this way, the South Bian River and Hulong River were connected to each other. However, Song Jiu still did not mention how to use Henan. He only talked about building workshops and building houses. At the same time, some things were being made in the workshops.
Subsequently, various sets of beginner textbooks were released. This time, Song Jiu did not make any money or lose money. He sold them at cost prices, each set of 5,000 copies. However, the middle school textbooks were still not compiled. Zhao Kuangyin had issued an edict asking Cao Bin and Dangjin to lead their troops to Taiyuan first.
He also ordered Li Jixun to deploy the front army of Hedong camp. That is, the commander of the vanguard army, Zhao Zan was the commander of the horse and infantry, and that is, the judge of the army. Zhao Kuangyi was the left-behind in Tokyo and Shen Yilun was the internal deployment.
Song Jiu first raised his head and then lowered his head.
If it weren't for the time being, he might have understood something, but now he finally understood something. Maybe Mrs. Huarui wanted to take advantage of Zhao Dezhao's glory, but Queen Song met her, thinking that she was not ashamed, and maybe she thought Zhao Dezhao was even more shameless, that was your father's woman.
It wasn't this coincidental encounter, and the family background, age and relationship would not be liked by the Song family's young lady. Zhao Dezhao was one year older than the Song family's young lady. How could he be a mother?
Zhao Defang no longer has this problem. She is seven years younger than the Song family’s young lady, but she is still about the same, but she is always seven years older.
Different backgrounds, Zhao Dezhao's mother was a relatively poor background. Zhao Defang's mother was Queen Wang and Wang Rao's daughter. The Song family's origins were more expensive. Therefore, the Song family's wife would also get closer to Zhao Defang from her family.
Zhao Dezhao has grown up and has his own palace. Zhao Defang is only a few years old and has not yet been married. He continues to stay in the palace and sees him every day, and will be more intimate in his relationship.
From Zhao Kuangyin himself, if he was the eldest son who was in his early forties, his son would soon be threatened. Besides, he would be so tolerant of Wang Jixun, and even more so tolerant of Zhao Defang? What if he decided after more than ten years?
There is also the Zhao Pu factor.
If Zhao Pu was truly good for the Song Dynasty, and had a eldest son or a young man, the country would have a crown prince long ago. Even if Zhao Kuangyin had an accident, the country would have been able to stabilize quickly. It would be impossible, but the battle in Taiyuan was about to happen, and an accident might happen.
But Zhao Pu would not say it because he knew Zhao Kuangyin's intentions better than himself. This throne was mostly left for Zhao Defang. If he said that he was appointed as a crown prince, it was a question of how to find a question. Will Zhao Pu do it?
Since he did not plan to establish Zhao Dezhao and leave together, this country would have to temporarily send one person to guard the other. Why not keep Zhao Pu? I am afraid that after the incident of Guo Wuwei, Zhao Kuangyin would be unsure. At least Zhao Kuangyi was brothers with him, and both prosper and both prosper and humiliate him. Therefore, Zhao Pu would also follow the army. Zhao Kuangyi finally got a huge opportunity, named "Kuangwang", but actually serves as the governor!
Song Jiu looked at Zhao Pu again and sighed in his heart. Zhao Kuangyin made a mistake in what happened later, and it was somewhat considered to be self-inflicted, but Wu Zhao Pu turned it over and flipped it over, and it would not happen. In fact, it was not too much suppression. The three Zhao He was not a family? It was not like this when he saw them for the first time. Even if he was assigned, he was still the same. Several people had a good relationship and were chatting and laughing. But he took action again and again, and Zhao Kuangyi was not a fool, and he would definitely fight back. This process of suppressing and counterattack gradually became a history of Gu Mother's refining...
Compared with the historical results, Song Jiu finally figured out this section.
Only one person will end up suffering, that is Zhao Dezhao. Without Zhao Kuangyi, the young lady of the Song family will be the queen mother in the future, and she doesn't like it. Zhao Dezhao is the eldest and eldest son, so she may not treat him well like Li Longji treats his elder brother. The outcome is still bad.
After understanding the various reasons why Zhao Kuangyin did not make Zhao Dezhao the crown prince, Song Jiu stopped thinking about it, and he felt uncomfortable when he thought. To be honest, Zhao Kuangyin was not a bad emperor, and the elders were exaggerated, but he could be considered a wise monarch.
Zhao Kuangyin also used Han Chongyun as the northern capital and Guo Yanyi as the deputy commander. Lao Han was depressed this time and finally came in handy. Then he used Zhao Feng as the fortune envoy. Zhao Feng was holding the tooth scepter in his hand and couldn't help but shout: "Your Majesty, it's not appropriate. I am a tribute student. I have not reviewed the test papers of the students. How can I go to the front line to be the fortune envoy?"
Song Jiu was also confused.
Zhao Kuangyin shouted: "The Prime Minister and I have been going to the army in person, why not review the papers in the army!"
Song Jiu almost lost the tooth scepter in his hand, and he improved the Jinshi test paper in the military camp. The old minister Wei Renpu said: "Your Majesty, if you want haste, you will not be able to achieve it, but your Majesty is careful."
The three prime ministers of the former Zhou Dynasty, Fan Zhi, Wang Pu, and Wei Renpu, all retreated, but occasionally Zhao Kuangyin summoned the three of them as a reference when there was a big event. Among them, Wei Renpu summoned the most. This time he also served as the military counselor and went together.
Zhao Kuangyin said with great enthusiasm: "Wei Qing, who attacked the pseudo-Han, had the strong city of Taiyuan and the support of the Khitan. No one could control it unless I did."
Wei Renpu had to retreat, and Zhao Kuangyin's words made sense. If it were the Northern Han Dynasty, it would be taken down that year. There was a Khitan behind the key. Who is still sure that he could definitely win this war?
