In the Political Affairs Hall, Lu Yijian looked at the memorial just delivered in the palace and had a calm face and didn't say anything.

Zhang Shixun, who was standing beside him, said: "Xu Ping's memorial to transfer the Yongzhou Bridge Road Army into Beijing has been on the way for some time. Why has it been posted now? He is now the emperor valued, and there is no reason to delay in the palace for so long."

Lu Yijian pushed the memorial on the table and slowly spoke: "Because the transfer of Yongzhou troops into Beijing is just a guide, and the main dishes are at the back. The memorial says that no grain has entered Shaanxi for three years, and it costs countless money to enter the border. As for border affairs, I am afraid that the supply of grain and grass in Shaanxi will not be guaranteed in an urgent manner. Therefore, I have to transfer the bridge troops in Yongzhou to the north. The main topic actually means that there is no effect in entering the border. Once I understand this, I know why I sent it together with the tea merchant's memorial to change the tea method."

"Will Xu Ping change the tea method change if he means? He is the deputy envoy of salt and iron, and his words are more than others."

Lu Yijian looked at Zhang Shixun and shook his head slightly: "What does Xu Ping think about it, let alone him, the key is what the emperor thinks! The two memorials come together, and it will be clear that if the newly revised tea method cannot guarantee that food and grass will enter Shaanxi, the new tea method will probably be unnecessary to implement it."

Zhang Shixun paced back and forth a few steps, sat down on the stool, and said to Lu Yijian: "This Xu Ping is very hateful. At this time, this memorial is submitted. Which one can clearly state whether there is any grain and grass entering Shaanxi? Anyway, the border prefectures and counties along the border clearly received the grain and grass from merchants. How could Xu Ping know that the grain and grass did not come from the adjacent routes!"

Lu Yijian didn't say anything. Not to mention that Xu Ping had found a conclusion drawn by checking a large number of accounts of the three departments. In fact, just think about it. There are also a large number of garrisons on the adjacent routes of Shaanxi, and there are not much grain and grass to be transferred outward, and the government does not allow it. Because of the imperial tombs of Jingxi Road, Xijing Luoyang, there are also a large number of royal families and government agencies. The land of the states belonging to the provinces is severely abandoned, and grain must be transferred from other places. Only the fourth route of Sichuan Gorge has excess grain and grass to enter Shaanxi, but the difficulty of Shu Road is as difficult as going to the sky, and merchants cannot afford to transport grain from there. After all, if you want to make more profits, it is naturally easy to loot from Shaanxi.

This problem was that I had never thought about this direction before. Xu Ping understood it when he mentioned Lu Yijian and didn't have to study various data. He knew that what Xu Ping said must be not far from the facts.

But what can I do after I know? I will change it to the end of the official fortune? Isn’t it because the cost of using the government fortune is too high that I changed it to let the merchants enter the middle? The price of the merchants transporting grain is only half of the cost of the official fortune. As long as the cost cannot be reduced, no matter how many reasons are, the border fortune cannot be abolished, and there will be no place to make up for the extra money.

Xu Ping transferred troops from Yongzhou Bridge Road to Beijing to reduce the cost of his official career? Lu Yijian didn't believe it.

It is said that in Yongzhou, Xu Ping marched into Jiaozhi and transported nearly 100,000 military rations. However, Yongzhou is Yongzhou and Shaanxi is Shaanxi. The geography is different, and the problems faced are also different.

The transportation of bulk goods from the capital to Shaanxi was carried by the Yellow River. The river was dangerous and there was a lot of mud and sand, so the ship was easily broken. Although it was specially managed by Sanmen Baibo Shipping Envoy, there were still problems. After passing Shanzhou, the Wei River could be used, and the transportation costs were reduced. Therefore, the food and grass that merchants entered must avoid this section of the way to make profits.

And there is another point. At this time, hundreds of thousands of stones of grain were transported from Shaanxi to the mainland every year. That is to say, while transporting it outward, merchants were encouraged to import it into the border areas. The policy was quite funny. In other words, it was simply to use Guanzhong's material resources to support the Luoyang area in the west of Beijing. The key to the shortage of grain on the border was not Guanzhong, but border prefectures and counties with poor traffic. When used in China and France, the official just spread the expenses on tea. No matter how the parties share the weight, the government did not pay extra money anyway.

Thinking of the various problems involved, Lu Yijian shook his head in his heart, thinking that it was not wise for Xu Ping to reveal this problem. As an official in the court, some things need to be said, and some things cannot be said, because it cannot solve the existing problems, and in the end it is still unlucky.

As the deputy envoy of salt and iron, Xu Ping pimples that were involved in tea method, which was a big pustule that was involved in the edge of the tea method, would he do? If he could not come up with a proper solution, his career would be hindered, and it would be unwise to see it.

Zhang Shixun does not have the ability to coordinate the overall situation like Lu Yijian, and he couldn't think so much. He sat on the stool and thought about it, and finally said: "This young senior official of Xu Ping is used to smooth careers. It's easy to say these big talk when he returns to Beijing. It's sensational! Sun Shi's tea method has been implemented for many years, and it has become a situation where he has to change it. How can he stop it just because he has no basis? No, the tea method still needs to be changed!"

It is rare that there is no one to restrain him when he becomes a prime minister again. Zhang Shixun still needs to use the reform of the tea method to consolidate his position. How could he stop because of Xu Ping's memorial? Moreover, the old tea method does have many problems. The false estimates of entering the border are too high, merchants gain profits, and the government is infamous, and they can no longer continue without having to pay a penny to account.

Lu Yijian said: "The tea method can naturally be changed, but follow it. When the saint mentioned the tea method above, you must not mention what Xu Ping said in the memorial. He wants to transfer the Yongzhou Bridge Road to Beijing, so he will go."

"Why? Xu Ping was successful in his youth and was about to slash his spirit this time. Don't cause trouble in the court!"

Lu Yijian smiled and said nothing. What kind of sharpness does Xu Ping have?

In the six years of the border malaria like Yongzhou, how many officials could tolerate it? During the Tiansheng period, because Empress Dowager Liu didn't like him, she suffered many setbacks. How could he be considered a young man's success? Xu Ping was not old, but that was because he was young when he was a Jinshi and had been an official for seven or eight years. He had long been considered a veteran in the officialdom and was really considered an ignorant young man.

Zhang Shixun and Lu Yijian are relatives of children. They have a good personal relationship and there is no difference in their political positions. Compared with Li Di when he was prime minister, the relationship in the Political Affairs Hall is much more harmonious now. But no matter what, it is still a bit uncomfortable to restrain Lu Yijian. The only day of being a single person during the Tiansheng period is the most suitable for him. Therefore, Zhang Shixun wanted to kill Lu Yijian himself and did not stop him. Maybe he had a chance to be alone again.

Xu Ping decided to use the Sansi Book Engraving Department to create public opinion on the Money Law and carefully considered the steps. When discussing the reform of the tea law in the Political Affairs Hall, he also found Han Qi, who was in charge of the Left Library, to the Sansi Regulations Repair Institute.

While drinking tea in the side hall, Han Qi kept looking around and said, "Yunxing is really good. The place is neat and the staff are in order. And when I first came in, I saw that the people on duty here were still eating, everyone had all the meat and vegetables, but it was much better than those of us who could only go out to eat some soup cakes."

Xu Ping smiled and said, "Why would Zhigui be transferred here too? Anyway, you are also from the Sansi. As long as the provincial governor nods, you can come to the Regulations tomorrow."

"Forget it, I can only think about it. Zuozangku cannot compare to other places, and he cannot live without people for a moment. Maybe someone will collect money and goods at any time, so where can I leave."

Zuozangku is the treasury of the Song Dynasty. If you want to get many things in it, Han Qi must confirm it. Unlike the Gouyuan Mojian Department, things can be handed over to the officials under his command. Xu Ping said that he knew that Han Qi could not move out of time.

As for the meal that Han Qi envied, it was the welfare given to his subordinates by Xu Ping, which was equivalent to the canteen in his previous life. People in this era were not used to lunch, but officials got up early in the morning, so how could they withstand hunger by noon? This is the business of the vendors on the surrounding streets.

When the new yamen opened, it naturally had to be a bit special, so that the people transferred to the yamen felt a little part. Xu Ping opened a canteen in the Regulations according to his practice in Yongzhou and specially disinfected public tableware at high temperatures. For many officials from ordinary families, this work meal at noon had a meal of dishes and meat, which was considered to be a improvement in life, and he was also kind to the new yamen.

The only problem is that after doing this, the minister spends money too quickly. Xu Ping must find a way to make money quickly, otherwise he may have to pay for it himself, which will be unfavorable and will become a joke in others.

After drinking tea and talking about it, Han Qi asked Xu Ping: "I don't know what happened to Yunxing asks me?"

"That's right. Recently, I have cast a new type of small iron coin, which is rust-resistant and corrosion-resistant, and I want to implement it in the mainland. This involves the money method. The idea is too chaotic and difficult to make it clear for a while. The so-called one person is short-sighted and everyone is in charge. I want to concentrate the efforts of us and others to clarify the matter of the money method. The three officials engraved it into books and distributed it to the ministers of the court. Ling Zun presided over the wealth calculation in Chuanxia for many years, and there were many iron coins there, so I would like to ask you to write about the iron coins of Western Sichuan for reference."

Han Qi's father Han Hua once worked as a transfer envoy on the Gorge Road and participated in the reform of iron coins in Sichuan. Xu Ping wanted to issue iron coins, so the Sichuan money method that passed iron coins must be mentioned. Han Qi happened to be there, so he asked him to write it.

It was something that the son remembered his father's merits in this era. Han Qi thought for a while and then agreed. Although Han Qi's father had passed away when he was four years old, there were always some letters left, and he could also ask his family, friends and his father's colleagues. It was not difficult to collect information. Besides, this was not a matter of remembering Han Hua alone. Han Qi presided over Zuozangku and had a thorough understanding of the national finances. He was considered a suitable candidate.

After agreeing, Han Qi asked Xu Ping: "I wonder when you want to engrave a book? Let's see how much time is left, so I can decide to write the details and don't miss the format at that time."

"The first book will be published after the Lantern Festival, but the more detailed you write, the better. If you don't have time, write a general order first, and the rest can be continued in the second book."
