It was sunny after the rain, and the sun was burning hot above the head, and the weather was turbulent and hot. Only the fresh breath after the rain, mixed with the freshness of the grass and the light fragrance of lotus flowers, refreshing, making people forget the stuffy weather for the time being.

Xu Ping sat alone in the pavilion, carefully reading the "Book of Tang".

Since you want to make a statement and leave your own footprints in this world, it is essential to read the classics and history and read ancient books. Otherwise, when talking about things, you don’t even know the meaning of someone else’s words, and you are confused and unaware of what’s right, and you won’t be a joke for your fellow Shilin colleagues. In this way, you have to convince others that who will listen to you.

The cicadas on the big tree above their heads chirped at the top of their throats, one after another, tireless. "Cicadas are louder than quieter in the forest, and birds are singing in the mountains." This feeling depends on the mood, but Xu Ping does not have it now. Occasionally, he will take back his mind from the book, and he will not help but look up at the big tree, hoping to catch these annoying cicadas one by one.

Panpan is a girl, and she is not interested in the game of catching cicadas. No matter how Xu Ping teaches her, she can't let her focus on it. Back then, when she was in Zhongmu, in the evening of summer, she often walked around under the big trees around the village with a small shovel, just looking at the small holes. With one shovel down, she became a cicada monkey. As she did this, Xu Ping's eyes were very good. When she glanced at her, she knew that there were ants or cicadas inside. Sometimes Xiuxiu followed behind and was amazed at Xu Ping's unique skills.

Alas, there is no successor, and this unique skill is about to be lost, Xu Ping is helpless. He only hopes that in a few months, Lin Su Niang will give birth to a boy so that she can inherit her own abilities.

The sun was getting high, Xu Ping stood up, stretched, and walked slowly into the shade around the pavilion. Combined with work and rest, Xu Ping didn't want to see a problem with reading.

The servant who was guarding the door hurried in and bowed to Xu Ping and said, "Monk Marquis, Zheng Jian asked for a meeting outside the door, but the young one had already asked him to wait in the small flower hall."

Xu Ping looked at the scorching sun in the sky, too lazy to walk to the small flower hall again, and said to the person: "You go and let him come to the back garden pavilion. If you are not an outsider, I won't go to the living room to meet guests."

The servant agreed and turned around.

Zheng Jian and his subordinates were all acquaintances in the mansion. They came to report to Xu Ping for instructions because of business affairs. They came every now and then. Now they didn’t need to post anymore. The guardians in Xu Ping’s mansion knew that they would come in and communicate with each other when they saw it from afar.

When he returned to the pavilion and sat down, Xu Ping flipped through the "Book of Tang" in his hand.

Zheng Jian came this time just because of the small shops in the Sansi Fencing Service. At this time, Gouyuan was the audit department of later generations. In Xu Ping's hands, his power was much greater than before. Zheng Jian had already liked to do these things that caught people, and learned mathematical knowledge from Jia Xian and others. Now he has more ability to check accounts, so he is more energetic.

The small shops in the Sansi Farm Service system draw on Xu Ping's consumer cooperatives in his previous life. The power and responsibility of the official supervisor is to be placed in the gouyuan. The main purpose is to check the accounts, rather than business guidance, and auditing is to manage them appropriately.

The name of consumer cooperative is inappropriate, so Zheng Jian gave it a name called Yishe. In his eyes, this system is somewhat similar to the previous Yitian Yishang Village. What is the cooperative?

Zheng Jian’s character is that the more harsh and mean he is to the rich and powerful, the more harsh and polite he is to the lower class. Some people call such people cruel officials, and some call them capable ministers, depending on their position. Xu Ping hoped that there would be more cruel officials under his command.

After a while, Zheng Jian did not need the Xu Mansion servant to lead the way, and came to the pavilion alone.

After seeing the li, Xu Ping asked Zheng Jian to sit down and said to him: "The world is hot, so I won't invite you to tea anymore. There are fruits and vegetables soaked in the well water over there. I have talked about it and quenched my thirst."

Zheng Jian thanked him, got down, and put a book in his hand on the stone table next to him, and then said, "Deputy Envoy, the memorial hall that I went to the previous two days ago has been approved, and my subordinates have all told me to do it."

"Okay. Everything is difficult at the beginning. There are always many unexpected chaos at the beginning. Please be more careful."

"I understand. However, the list we attached together is the people who used to make unreasonable profits from the venue shop, but there is no further information. I will not make up my mind whether to give another memorial."

Looking at Zheng Jian, Xu Ping smiled: "Tiansoo, I attached the list to the memorial back then and knew that there would be no result later. You should know that. Why are you still obsessed with it now?"

Zheng Jian was silent for a while before saying, "I'm always a little unwilling to give up!"

"Where can everything go well for an official? In the world, there must be a choice, take the great righteousness, and give up the last lunar month. This is only possible, right? I ask you, how many people will benefit after the system is established? And if you insist on doing those people, things will definitely not go so smoothly, what's the point?"

"I understand, what the deputy envoy said is. But he always feels so angry that he can't be able to feel at ease."

Xu Ping smiled and said, "Okay, if you are not happy, you can only practice the skills of self-cultivation and self-cultivation. The weather has been hot recently, and the watermelon has been sweeter than the previous few days. Let's take a bigger one and we slaughter it and eat it slowly."

Zheng Jian got up, went to the big wooden barrel next to him, picked up a big watermelon and took one. Xu Ping took a knife and cut it into a crescent shape on the stone table in the pavilion, like flowers arranged, and held it in his hand one by one with Zheng Jian.

After eating the melon, I cleaned my hands in the basin of the side, wiped the towel dry, and sat down again.

Zheng Jian picked up the book he placed on the stone table and handed it to Xu Ping with both hands: "Second envoy, this is the latest "Qianfa Book", which is newly printed and used for you to read."

Xu Ping took the book and was a little surprised: "Didn't you three have made the decision? They all got it back with Dibao when they were on a day's journey. Why did you bring it here specifically today?"

Zheng Jian shook his head: "The new book contains Ouyang Xiu's article "On the Three-Secret Coupons", which is really disrespectful to the deputy envoy. He sent it before the printing was paid, and it was too late to let the deputy envoy read it first. The three of us discussed and had to print it for him first. The deputy envoy also knew that Ouyang Xiu was the most arrogant and unfashionable. He refuted him, but he didn't know what to do. It would be better to print it for him first and then refute it calmly."

When he mentioned Ouyang Xiu, Xu Ping knew that nothing good was happening. This guy was above the top, and he was widely quoted and magnificent, while speaking people always mean. One was because of ideological conflicts, and the other was because of Xu Ping's identity and Li Yonghe's relationship was suspected of being a close minister, and his promotion was too fast, so he looked down on him. Since Ouyang Xiu first arrived in the capital and asked Xu Ping to help print Han Yu's collection of essays, he contradicted Xu Ping several times.

This is a person who has been famous in his previous life. No one who has been in school knows him. Why has he been unfavorable to him always made Xu Ping wonder. Later, he learned about Ouyang Xiu's life and roughly understood.

Ouyang Xiu's personality is influenced by the family.

From Ouyang Xiu's father to his uncle and uncle, most of them have this kind of strange temper. It is not surprising that Ouyang Xiu's four-year-old father Ouyang Guan passed away and followed his mother to hide in his uncle Ouyang Ye's house. Ouyang Ye raised him and educated him, which had a great influence on him.

Ouyang Ye's family was in the same year. Later, Ouyang Xiu often boasted that his family was a Luling clan, but he missed this kind of glory. In fact, these three Jinshi were not very officials during their lifetime, and they were all conferred on Ouyang Xiu's light after leaving. Although the official was not big, they were not small instincts, and they all dared to contradict their superiors. They would be proud of being retaliated against them and became the family tradition of the Ouyang family. Taking Ouyang Ye as an example, he refused to use power for his superior Chen Yaozhi for personal gain, but was later excluded and would never regret it. His father Ouyang Guan even promoted the officials as a small official and refused to give face to the fortune.

Ouyang Xiu grew up in this environment and was taught to be such a person since childhood. In addition, he was lonely at the age of four and experienced the warmth and coldness of life. When he became famous at a young age, he was inevitably conceited and sarcastic.

Another influence on Ouyang Xiu was his ideological mentors Mencius and Han Yu.

Han Yu not only deeply influenced Ouyang Xiu's literary style, but also continued Mencius's Taoist tradition with his own strength, but also made Ouyang Xiu yearn for it and regarded it as an idol. Mencius was good at distinguishing himself from the heroic and arrogant. When speaking the truth, he was arrogant and sometimes he was also mean. Ouyang Xiu's style was also learned from his predecessors.

It is not easy for a young man Ouyang Xiu to think about it carefully.

But understanding is understanding, knowing that it is not easy to know, Xu Ping would not let him stomp his nose on his face. Is this still over again and again? Could it be that he is still addicted?

Ouyang Xiu's cousin Ouyang Ying made friends when Ding Wei was young, and they had a lot of friendship and were recommended by Ding Wei. Dante Wei had stopped contact after he was truly powerful. Later, Ding Wei fell, but he was not implicated. Ouyang Xiu really regarded himself as Ding Wei.

Opening the "Book of Money" and reading Ouyang Xiu's article "On the Three-Securities Coupons". After reading it from the beginning, Xu Ping couldn't help but smile. Zheng Jian looked at it while he was confused for a moment and didn't know what Xu Ping meant.

Social existence determines social consciousness, and new things will always give birth to new ideas, and that's it.

Since the Sansi issued shopping coupons, Xu Ping's strict control has made the shopping coupons appreciate all the way, and now it is equivalent to real money and silver. Many bulk transactions in Beijing use shopping coupons instead of cash and gold and silver, and the value is higher than the value of the coupon. Even some wealthy families, because the shopping coupons do not depreciate, still store them at home.

Based on this point, Ouyang Xiu proposed that shopping vouchers are actually equivalent to real money. How much does it cost to print shopping vouchers? How much does it cost to mint money? It is wise to use shopping vouchers instead of cash, saving the annual cost of minting.

It was a mere effort, but the court made countless profits, but no one had put forward it for such a long time. The last sentence was quite like Ouyang Xiu's style, "Those who are in charge of the matter are not wise!"

After reading it, Xu Ping closed the book and said to Zheng Jian: "It happened that the school bachelor of the Pavilion was having a party and banquet in my outdoor garden today, and Ouyang Xiu happened to be among them. I called him and asked in person, how unwise it is. Hahaha!"

When discussing this issue with me, Ouyang Xiu turned his face over and asked him to kick him. How could he let him down?
