Now Zhao Xu is so miserable that he keeps talking nonsense, money.

"I don't know, it shouldn't be less." Wang Ju replied uncertainly. He didn't know the main cost. In addition, he didn't know the output. But he should, after all, as far as he knows, officials in both sides of Guangnandong or Fujian are trying their best to support it.

With the support of Guangnandong, there will be more financial and material labor. With the support of Fujian, there will be relocated people.

If these two officials do not support it, it is far from enough to transfer some money.

"By the way, I suddenly remembered one thing. Each report could not set up a herds prison site.... Island. Novels. However, the court has always lacked horses, so Tang Jie wrote in the original letter, asking to set up a horse prison in Jiaocheng County. Cui Taifu, the deputy chief of the Bi Ministry, inspected and said that he could set up a prison in Fenzhou's old pastoral prison. However, the Qianqing Pastoral Prison had been rented by the surname, so he could only choose five horses from Shayuan to go to. I think it's too little... If you and Cai Ting were in Huanqing, how would you deal with those war horses?"

"One thousand eight hectares of pastoral prison, 180,000 acres of land, can only raise five horses?"

"I also find it incredible."

"I'm afraid the actual pastoral prison is not 1,800,000,000, and it has been occupied by powerful people."

"Why not report?"

Wang Ju refused to answer.

Zhao Xu Shengming, now the officials and gentry are in a mess, how can they report?

After understanding, Wang Jucai said: "Your Majesty, it is not that there are few places, but that officials dare not act. When I was holding those war horses, I fed more grains and straws. Huanqing was indeed less land. Later, with the recommendation of me, Mr. Cai moved reeds, sorghum and alfalfa on some deserted streams. When I was in the green and prosperous period, I harvested them and used them as feed. However, one place could only be used as a battalion of cavalry, and if there were too many, it would not work. However, consciously growing green feed would not occupy a large area. But this was in the military camp, and each person was responsible for the military horses, and the soldiers loved it and took good care of it. If it were in the pastoral prison, I would not want to achieve this effect. Speaking of pastoral prison, I was very optimistic about it."

"Will my court always lack horses?"

"It depends on what kind of horses. If it is a civilian horse, it can be obtained by the surname and policy support. If it is a military horse, it will not be able to stay in the northwest and will never be short of horses. Even if it is a Hehuang horse, it will not work, because the Hehuang horse is suitable for a high and cold place, and it will be difficult to support it when it reaches a plain."

That is, it is OK to use it on the northwest battlefield, but it is not very effective on the northern battlefield.

"If you want to get a cavalry, you will definitely pacify Xixia. Does that mean?"

"yes."

"Xixia..."

"You can't be too hasty. Your Majesty, why are there still horses in Shayuan?"

"Xue Xiang proposed to set up a prison in Weizhou. He once transferred some horses to him, but many horses died on the upper side, and later he turned a blind eye. But I don't understand very well, why did you ask the Zhu and Li families to buy so many livestock and rarely die?"

"Your Majesty asked just the right time, why did there be a dead horse? The reason is very simple. The clerks do not act, and even directly deduct the feed needed for a horse, and add to abuse. Therefore, no matter whether the horse comes from Bashu, from Tubo, or transports to Weizhou, many war horses will die on the road. If that happens, Di Qing will lead a riot cavalry to Kunlun Pass south, wouldn't the war horses die? Your Majesty, do you understand what this is? "

"You said it."

"It's this word, so I wrote a letter to Ma Ce repeatedly, and it would be better to hand it over to the army directly because it was placed in the pastoral supervision and raising. Furthermore, why does the country monopolize the finances, but the financial situation deteriorate so?"

"!"

“Not only.”

"Not as smart as merchants."

"Not yet, no matter how smart the merchants are, they don't have so many resources and capital in their hands, so they can succeed because they are profit-seeking and use everything. Officials have many concerns about financial management. Some officials even do not consider the safety of the country and say that they are ashamed of making profits. What is the difference between Wang Rong and the aduo? If you are ashamed of making profits, your Majesty might as well deduct half of their salary to see if they quarrel?"

Zhao Xu made him laugh and cry.

"In addition, what everyone sees is successful merchants, but they do not go bankrupt every day, selling children and women to pay off their debts. Therefore, the imperial court once contracted the merchants to buy horses. At least they would not send dead horses to the Muslim prison. This is also the reason why the minister proposed to contract Zhufangchang Hedu. The state's business is in losses, but when it comes to the hands of merchants, it can make profits. Therefore, the state can regulate it, but it is best not to participate directly."

Zhao Xu nodded.

Actually, it's really important.

Wang Anshi later suffered the trouble of the Song Dynasty.

However, the impact of quilts continues to expand.

Zhao Xu finally drove Han Qi away and immediately worked diligently.

Therefore, every few days, the two prefectures were summoned to discuss national affairs in the Political Affairs Hall.

Military, people's livelihood, finance, water conservancy, horse politics...

Yanbo asked, "Your Majesty, does that quilt come from Lingnan, right?"

"Bucuo, when it is displayed, I will distribute them to the public, but the number is limited."

"It seems to be related to Wang Ju?" Yanbo asked again.

"This year, the financial difficulties of Zhengbaiqu was undermined, which affected the passage of the canal. The country was in trouble and thieves were everywhere, and even thieves had sneaked into Han Qi's room. Therefore, we could not strip our surnames. So Wang Qing came up with this plan."

"Your Majesty is a good idea. It's better to transfer him to the Ministry as Sima Guang's words."

The Si not only serves as an official position with a judge, but also has other middle and low-level official positions. The Si judge is a joke, but there are some official positions suitable for Wang Ju to hold.

"No, Shaanxi misunderstood that Wang Ju was transferred to the office. Zheng Baiqu was worried that many surnames had asked Hou Ke and Yang Pan for their appointment. Some powerful people thought this opportunity could be taken advantage of, so they began to encircle the fields. People were not satisfied and greedy. I was very disappointed, I was very disappointed."

Yanbo is also kind-hearted. The country's most troublesome headache now is finance. Wang Ju has some ingenuity and may not let him make a decision. But as long as he says it, everyone discusses and then implements it, and the finance will be improved in a few years. Now Wang Ju is in Jixianyuan to prepare books, which is purely a waste, and the most expensive place is the department. If Wang Juzhidao's specific accounts, wouldn't he come up with a better solution?

However, Zhao Xu mentioned the powerful and insatiable greed. Yan Bo stopped talking.

However, Yanbo also neglected the book Wang Ju compiled.

…………

"Second uncle, brother, Qiong Niang..." Wang Ju was stunned.

Li Zhen said, "I can't do anything about it either. Even my second brother wrote letters, saying that many people said that my family was domineering. Last year, Zu Wuze was in Hangzhou, and this spring he deliberately went to the paper workshop to inspect it, and he also made a few jokes."

Speaking of this, Li Zhen has a lot of resentment.

This is Wang Jufei delaying the marriage. If he doesn’t delay, then so much discussion?

Did Wang Ju do something wrong? Let’s see how many girls had to live before they got married and had children?

Everyone was talking about it. Li Zhen had no choice but to come to the capital and did not look for Wang Ju. Instead, he immediately came to Xiliu Lane. Don’t think about why everyone can see Qiong Niang.

But as soon as Li Zhen reported his name, he said that he was Wang Ji's uncle, and he met immediately. Li Zhen once again made an open and talked to Qiong Niang. Our Li family is not a rude family. Whether Wang Ju will accept it or not has nothing to do with our Li family. If you are willing, please follow me and then marry to the Wang family as a maid of the Li family.

Wang Ju's second uncle Wang Wei had no objection. The Song Dynasty used pork ribs and small breasts as beautiful, but Wang Wei did not have this aesthetic view. When he saw Qiong Niang's plump breasts, fat buttocks and bee waist, he was a good person for a strange person. On the contrary, he was very happy.

As for dowry, it is normal. This is the "market rule". If there are more men and fewer women, betrothal gifts are indispensable. If there are more men and women, and if you want to find a good family, dowry is indispensable. Therefore, the Song Dynasty often has a variety of dowry, including land coupons, payment, house deeds, gold and silver jewelry, furniture, color forging, etc., including beautiful maids. In fact, this beautiful maid who dowry is used as a maid or a concubine. However, it may not necessarily accompany everyone, such as Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, which is monogamous.

But because of Yu Luli, Wang Anshi's wife Wu and Sima Guang's wife Zhang both bought concubines for her husband, but they were rejected by both.

I finally felt a little inferior when I went to the Wang family like this. Qiong Niang hesitated for a long time before finally reluctantly agreeing.

Wang Wei and Li Zhen took Qiongniang to the inn again.

Although he was a pity to marry a maid, Qiong Niang was free in human life.

Wang Ju laughed and cried, and looked at Qiong Niang and said, "You are proficient in poetry, songs, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, so why bother like this?"

"The maid spread the story about you listening to "Fisherman's Pride". It's all yours. How can I deal with it?"

"I'll go in and rest for a while." Wang Ju asked Qiong Niang to go in, then looked at Li Zhen and said, "This woman has both talented and talented."

"That's right, otherwise how could it be heard from the ears of the magistrate?"

"No, I mean mind, do you really let her live in the same room with your little sister?" Wang Ju asked.

In fact, Wang Ju will choose Li Fei'er again, and she looks pretty. At least Wang Ju is very satisfied, mainly because she is simple-minded. This is what Wang Ju values ​​most.

"She is just a concubine."

"Do you think it's the kind of concubine that she is willing to be that kind of concubine?"

"Do you want to be a wife?"

"It's not that simple," Wang Ju said. If this woman, Su Dongpo, gave her away, would have hanged herself like that Mei Niang.

"What should I do now?"

"You should take her to Yanzhou first. If she still wants, she will let her. If she doesn't want to, let her come back." Wang Ju said.

"I think so too. By the way, why do you stay in the inn?"

"I have a slight job in the capital for the time being, and it will not take long. I will return to Yanzhou to get married soon. When I take office from Yanzhou, I will have to return to Zhengbaiqu to save trouble. It is better to stay in an inn."

"This is a sealed book." Li Zhen took out a thick stack of books from his luggage.

The actual number of words is not very large, six or seven hundred thousand words, but many paintings were inserted as annotations. Therefore, after the book was printed, it was more than 4,000 pages. Even if the small characters were printed on both sides and bamboo paper was used, the two volumes could not be bound. So Li Zhenxing asked the bookstore to divide it into ten volumes.

Li Zhen said again: "When the craftsman was carving the plate, the young owners of the two bookstores were curious, so they went in to read the manuscript, and then high-fives, and the strange books."

It is not just a strange book, but in Wang Ju's heart, its importance is greater than that of the Four Books and Five Classics. Wang Ju opened it and asked, "How many books have you printed?"

"Four thousand volumes."

Wang Ju refused to break up and sold it. Even if the cost price was adjusted to various bookstores, it would have been a long way to spend a lot of money, so it was not printed much.

In fact, it is still a haode. If it weren't for the small-line carved sheet, as well as bamboo paper and binding sheet, printing a set of books like this would cost, and I don't know how much money it costs. Wang Ju asked again: "Can you go to the capital?" (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
