Chapter 274: Things cannot be said to others

Boni Kingdom was the name of the states of Brunei and Kalimantan in the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Xing paused for a moment and continued, "There is a Song people street on the Boni Kingdom by the river (Brunei River) that flows through the capital, which is winding for five miles. You go to that street and tell the Song people that the Song people that the Song Navy has been established and that they can provide escort operations in the future. And I do not intend to pursue their stay in the vassal states and let them register in Guangnan as soon as possible.

You asked the Song Shang of the Beef Mud, and I remember how many oil pools there were on the island, and the stone fat was coming out. You told them that we planned to buy the kind of stone fat, and it was all required to ship it in large iron barrels. The iron barrels could be purchased from us, and I would give them a good price... By the way, since the Yangtze River went to sea, you turned to Mizhou and ordered a flat-panel "horse boat" from Mizhou, which specialized in trafficking this kind of stone fat.

You have to tell Song Shang that I am planning to order for a long time and ask them to purchase a large amount of this kind of fat for me, and then wait for my ship to arrive and ship it together..."

Wan Qi Yong was shocked when he heard this: "Sir, do you mean there is a Song people street in Boni, which stretches for five miles. How many Song merchants should be there? Is it afraid there will be ten thousand people? Why has the government never recorded it? I have never heard of it?"

"Asian Kuwait" has a Song shopping street, and this matter has nothing to do with Zhao Xing. It is purely normal history.

Zhao Xing went out to the sea and found that in this era, a large number of Song people gathered to do business near the capitals of various countries in Southeast Asia, not only Brunei. In real history, Brunei was later invaded by Arab religions and experienced a cultural destruction. The existence of these Song merchants was not even recorded in the Brunei country itself. It was not until later that archaeological excavations were discovered.

The Song Shang, stranded overseas, was a group of "people who were forgotten by the times". There are many people with similar fate in the Nanyang area, but they are now members of the Zhaoxing Nanyang Alliance. Zhao Xing has gradually condensed the Nanyang Song people in recent years and gathered them into a huge force to influence the fate of Nanyang. However, this behavior is still a "people who were forgotten by the times" - the Song Dynasty was not known at all, and people who were familiar with the matter abroad were not interested in the government's statement.

When Chen Buqun heard Zhao Xing's reminder that he was someone who knew the inside story, he quickly replied to Zhao Xing in a vague way: "Teacher, don't worry, when I come back this time, I will go to Boni, then to Mayi, and then to Lion City (Singapore), and then strive to break into the Indian Ocean and test to declare the existence of my Guangnan Navy to the pirates in that ocean."

Another meaning in Chen Buqun's words is that he would go to various gathering sites of the Nanyang Alliance to inform the existence of those members Zhao Xing, and tell them that the Nanyang Alliance has obtained the official status of the Song Dynasty and can support overseas Song merchants nearby. This kind of support can even bring official colors...

Zhao Xing nodded, Chen Buqun ran to the military port in the distance, and then the big ship began to raise sails and gradually sailed out of the port. Zhao Xing watched the big ship leave the port, and suddenly patted his thigh and said in annoyance: "Ah! I forgot to tell him: Guangnan construction requires a large number of slaves. The Kunlun slaves on the Nanyang islands are really easy to arrest. I need him to arrest 700,000 or 800,000 slaves to save me the cost of building roads..."

Wan Qiyong urged, "Okay, sir, it's impossible to finish this in one day. When he comes back, I'll find an opportunity to tell him. Now let's go to the culprit quickly, Lord Huang and the others are waiting there in a hurry."

In the Hong Kong Tsingjus Department, the Fourth Sumen Bachelor has finished bathing. In the swimming pool in front of the door, several children are still playing and slapping. The adults have already started to clean up their houses and prepare to settle down.

Since Zhao Xing's yamen was built in Hong Kong, it imitated the architectural style of Hong Kong villas. A huge swimming pool was built in front of the door, and a spacious steam bathroom and hot water pool were built behind the door. The villa was built with huge stones. Unexpectedly, it was immediately popular in Hong Kong after it was built. Because Hong Kong was close to the sea, few people lived in the past because typhoons often came ashore to destroy houses, making it impossible for the people to settle down. As soon as this stone house was released, it immediately solved the troubles of typhoons and allowed the various yamen to be successfully placed. Subsequently, nearby salt merchants built large open villas on the left and right sides of the government offices.

Soon, this area also became a scene in Hong Kong.

At this time, the bachelors who had finished bathing had already changed into the shredded shisha prepared by Zhao Xing and were sitting under the eaves waving a fan to cool off. Zhang Lei, nicknamed "Fat Fairy", was relatively fat. While eating the fruit handed over by his servant, he called the Japanese girl to dance quickly. Huang Tingjian and others were eating fresh fruits such as watermelons, mangoes, etc., and they still had the energy to watch the children's play in the swimming pool, and their female family were guarding by the swimming pool, for fear of accidents in the children.

In addition to these female family members, there were several Japanese girls and local Yizhai girls hired in the swimming pool, including Wuhu people in Guangxi (the name of Zhuang people in the Song Dynasty, also known as Liaoren), Wuxi Man (Yao people), and Yi people, but they did not wear their own ethnic costumes. Instead, they wore two pieces of cloth similar to modern bikini swimsuits to take care of the children playing in the pool. Those romantic bachelors were more concerned about taking care of the children than taking care of the children.

Hearing Zhao Xing's footsteps, Huang Tingjian turned his face, opened his mouth and swallowed the words back. Zhang Lei hummed, and his mouth was not idle, but could only wave to greet him. Chao Buzhi wiped his sweat while drinking sour horn herbal tea to relieve heat, and his mouth was whispered twice. Qin Guan's mouth was quick and immediately said the words for everyone: "I have said a long time ago that Li Ren is a person of particularity, and he will not treat himself badly when he goes to Lingnan.

Look, people say that Lingnan is suffering, but this is not suffering, it is clearly ‘heaven and earth’. Look, this beauty is touching, and the scenery is eye-catching, it is really--wine is not intoxicating..."

Zhao Xing stopped beside the beach chair, and two Japanese girls ran to Zhao Xing in small steps and took off his official uniform. In a blink of an eye, Zhao Xing turned into a big shorts and a beach suit with a sweatshirt. He fell on the recliner and moaned and replied to Qin Guan: "Brother Shaoyou, what you said just now can only be thought to yourself, how can you say it?"

Qin Guan smiled and asked again: "Are you a yamen? Why do I look like a yamen? What's wrong? It's a yamen? It's a yamen, but it's more like a house. It's empty inside, with few servants serving you. Compared to your house in Hangzhou, it's deserted."

Zhao Xing shook his head: "What kind of trash... don't talk nonsense. Fortunately, they don't understand you, otherwise, you and I will not have a good life today - the women here are all the sisters and family members of my "General" among me, "General". I hired them to reduce the family burden of soldiers.

Shaoyou, don’t blame me for not warning me in advance! The Yi people are very keen and like to give "love to the husband". It is a happy thing to be fallen in love with the wife of the wife, because the wife will treat her husband as a god, but... they cannot be loved casually, because they need you to devote your life. Once you betray, they will use the evil technique and die with you.

As for this house, I built it with my own money. In addition, I have also built several houses in Guangzhou, all of which were built by myself. It cannot be considered official property, and the property rights belong to me. You brothers can live here with confidence. Haha, I didn’t take much thought to sort out the new Guangnan Tuoziziziyaya, so I built a military camp and a warehouse, which specializes in storing coins. Usually I was too lazy to go to Tuoziyayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayaya

Because I am cool and comfortable, and I eat a lot, officials also like to work here, and by the way, they can also let their children go to school at home in the backyard. After school, those children also like to come to my pond to play in the water. A few senior brothers, you can also keep the children here, so you can study and play. Senior brothers are fine, and you can also go to home school to teach students and their children, which is also a waste of time."

"Come on!" Qin Guan said disdainfully: "After looking at the clothes of these girls, you will know that out of your evil spirit, although the weather here is hot, how can you wear so little? You are a lewd person... But what do I like!"

As he was speaking, Wan Qi Yong came over with a team of servants holding thick documents. He saluted Huang Tingjian and others first, and said apologetically: "Mr. Huang, Lord. Zhang, Lord. Chao, Lord. Qin, I am not outsiders. I am not polite. My family is busy with business, so I will ask a few questions here and I will finish it in a while."

Huang Tingjian and others owed their gifts to return. Wan Qiyong turned around to report to Zhao Xing: "Sir, the grain price has risen sharply recently. Three hundred thousand civilians have come to Guangnan East Road. The families of those civilians are still coming to Guangnan to reclaim wasteland. Although it is summer now, the grain price still cannot drop. In the past, every bucket of rice has been sold at 23 cents, but it has risen to 51 cents recently. I see what to do. If you don't take any measures, I'm afraid the public will be resentful."

"Send money", Zhao Xing simply said: "What festivals are there in May?"

"Dragon Boat Festival", Qin Guan said quickly and answered with his fingers: "It's the second day of the fifth month, and it's almost the Dragon Boat Festival."

"Then give a 'festival reward' in the name of Dragon Boat Festival. Each household will give ten dou of rice and add another one-day money. Except for Guangzhou Prefecture, there are more than 700,000 people in Guangnan East Road, and more than 80,000 households. Every family will pay for a one-day money. With the rice money, the government will spend up to 100,000 yuan. We will pay this money," Zhao Xing replied lazily.

Wan Qiyong frowned: "Sir, we have paid 600,000 yuan this year. Now that we have to pay more money, the people have more money in their hands, so will the prices still rise?"

Zhao Xing clapped his hands and replied: "It's okay! We mobilized a large number of people to reclaim land. After turning the grain prices, it means that our reclaim land income is just plain. Where can we find such a good thing? Brother Wanqi, don't worry, rising prices mean strong investment. If you don't see, students from all schools are already red-eyed now. It is said that some people have even invented the purpose of pasting silk yarn on window screens.

Nowadays, the school where all the scholars in Guangdong are red, and the prices rise, they have to raise the wages of workers; when they run factories everywhere, it is easy for workers to find jobs. If the salary given by this factory is low, they cannot keep people. In this way, the salary will rise steadily...

As long as the people's income rises more than the price rises, the price rise is a good thing. What's the matter? This year, the Dragon Boat Festival will double the rice supplied by the county school, and the officials' rewards will exceed the regular salary. The income of scholars has increased, so who will complain?"

Wanqiyong made a mark on the file, waved to another person, and continued to report: "Sir, since he got on the new machine, the new coins cast by each coin minting department have not been fixed. We need to go to the Qianzhou Tijuan quickly to return the coin minting files of previous years to determine the amount of coin minting for each coin next year."

Zhao Xing laughed very treacherously: "There are many problems in the money minting department in various places. The Qianzhou Tijuan Department does not want to hand over the archives of previous years, and I just don't want them. Just take this opportunity - new machines and new personnel, we create a brand new Guangnan Coin Supervision, which is completely controlled by ourselves.

The reason why the major currency minting is not limited is that the scraps of coins are all the minted coins belong to them. The more they cast for the government, the more they fall by themselves. Of course, they have to mint coins wildly. But we don’t need to panic, because what we minted is metal currency, and each coin is real gold and silver. We must recognize its value wherever we take it. And we also have a Guangzhou Maritime Warehouse. It leads to the entire Nanyang and the entire world.

Isn’t our Song Dynasty currency popular in the entire Southeast Asian country? It’s okay, let them mint more coins, hand over the minted coins to the court as appropriate, and spend the remaining money on Guangzhou. The order was issued: There is no need to be serious about the various market checkpoints, and the Song Dynasty merchants will be allowed to bring Song coins out of the country, and let the Song Dynasty merchants use these coins to purchase goods from various countries, so that the countries in Southeast Asian countries will bear the consequences of inflation for us, and use our copper plates to buy all their wealth and labor output.

We are not afraid. The more we minted the money, the more we are like a big magnet, absorbing the wealth of the surrounding countries and provinces to Guangzhou. This is called the "central effect of a strong economy". Don't be afraid of the large amount of money. Tell the major coin minting supervisors that I am never afraid of those who work hard. Last year's agreement counts and let them cast it. I am as much as possible. I have a lot of copper coins, and give them commissions as agreed."

Wan Qiyong made records on the file, and Huang Tingjian interrupted with a smile: "I often heard that the methods of leaving people to make accounts are extraordinary, and no one can understand the accounts I have done. Today I have learned about these 'golden hands'."

Zhao Xing proudly explained: "Actually this is nothing, it is what the saying goes, "eating food for all evil things". I call it the "deficiency economy". After spending a few years a year, if this money is invested, no matter what they produce, they will pay taxes to the government. For example, when buying grain, the grain merchants need to pay taxes; when traveling by boat, the boat merchants need to pay taxes, go to the tavern to eat, drink and consume, and the tavern...

If this huge amount of money is invested, the government's tax revenue can immediately make a big leap, and it will increase by more than twice. Then, we need to control the reporting, submit the tax revenue to the court, and report a small increase. Part of the additional tax is used to repay the deficit, part of which is used to continue to invest and maintain sustained high growth. After a few years, the deficit will be paid off and the tax revenue will grow ten times higher, and the local economy will naturally take off.

However, this method requires an honest government. Because in the middle, if another corrupt official gets greedy for the high growth, or an instant-seeking official hand over the excess to the court in order to achieve political achievements, the local economy will collapse in the next year. Because the money to pay off the deficit is gone, the government owes a large amount of debt, and there is not even the money to continue to invest in sustaining development. In this way, the local economy will inevitably be deteriorated - for example, what Lu Huiqing is doing on Huanqing Road is this kind of "collapse".

Chao Buzhi didn't know if it was hot or what. He had sweat beads on his head, cold or hot sweat. He frequently wiped his sweat and said, "Fortunately, after I took your seat in Yangzhou, Xiao Guicao was working completely according to your method, filling all the holes you left. Otherwise, Yangzhou, the world hub, would collapse."

Zhao Xing nodded and replied: "Fortunately, the mentor and you took over. Otherwise, the economy of Yangzhou would indeed collapse, but now, its taxes have increased by more than five times... I have just come from Yangzhou. I heard that although the deficit in Yangzhou has been paid off, the local officials there are still concealing the increase in taxes from the court. The excess money is used to maintain the navy, and the rest are divided privately - fortunately, they divide up according to the share ratio I left behind."

Huang Tingjian asked curiously: "Is the situation there badly there?"

Wan Qi Yong had already finished the file at hand and interrupted and replied: "Lu Huiqing had been holding back for a year last year but had not recovered the oil. At the end of the year, he forced the tea and medicine money and war subsidies issued by the court, but refused to repay the bank. As a result, major bankers refused to issue new funds to Huanqing Road this year. In February, Empress Dowager Liang sent troops to attack Fuyan. Huanqing Road had neither military expenses nor military rations nor equipment, and could not send troops to support Fuyan Road. As a result, Empress Dowager Liang broke into Jinming Village again and returned after 50 days of plunder. The nearby governments watched the Xixia soldiers enter the country and dared not go out.

After this incident, I saw that Empress Dowager Liang had already known the facts of Huanqing Road, and would definitely turn to Huanqing Road next year. At that time, if Huanqing Road could not get military rations, it would be a defeated ending.

Alas, the people of Huanqing are suffering..."

Everyone sighed together. Wan Qiyong took the last file and said with a smile: "Adult just said that the students in Guangnan have red eyes and are constantly registering the application methods of various things in the copyright office. There is another document involving adults - Adults talk about canvas hoses in Lianzhou. After the talk, they forgot to register in the yamen. There is a student in Lianzhou who doesn't even know how to weave canvas, but the next day they go to register for the application of the hoses.

Just now, the officials below sent this registration report to submit approval, which scared me... What should I do if my lord thinks?"

Zhao Xing stood up, his eyebrows raised, and he was about to roar and get angry, but when he thought about it, he was both angry and funny.

Snatch the register!

What I, Zhao Xing, invented, was actually snatched by the Song people. What kind of world is it!

Zhao Xing flicked his finger and said thoughtfully: "This is a good opportunity - Shang Yang's reforms need to be trusted; Ximen Bao also needs to convince the people of the water. It can be seen that no matter what we do, we need to establish government credit. Why not just take this opportunity to let the people of Guangnan know that we are trustworthy and that we must abide by the rules and the law when we promise the people."

Wanqiyong collected the file and asked Zhao Xing: "Mr. Zhao means, how do you plan to establish integrity in the government?"

Zhao Xing continued: "How about a lawsuit with him?"

The four Sumen scholars couldn't get into this issue, so they could only listen carefully to Zhao Xing's conversation with his master.

At this time, the kind-hearted Huang Tingjian's eyes at Zhao Xing had changed a little. He looked at Zhao Xing and then at Wan Qi Yong. His expression seemed to see two big conspirators planning a shocking conspiracy in front of him. There was both regret, confusion and blame in his eyes.

Zhang Lei was broad-minded and fat. He didn't care what Zhao Xing did at all. He continued to chew on the strange tropical fruits on the table without worry. Qin Guan's eyes were already attracted by the bikini girl playing by the swimming pool. At this moment, he was drinking herbal tea and wearing expensive potato shisha. Someone around him was wearing a small fan of light Luo. If it weren't for the brothers who were still by his side, he almost suspected that he was not demoting, but had returned to the official banquet.

The only thing that concerns among the four people was Chao Buzhi. He listened to the conversation between Wan Qi Yong and Zhao Xing intently. He only listened to Wan Qi Yong's suggestion: "If this is the case, Cheng Zhengfu needs to say hello, and in addition, it is not appropriate for the adults to come forward in person. If the adults come forward, Cheng Zhengfu may not be able to withstand the pressure and obviously prefer the adults. In this way, it was a good thing, but it left a situation of bullying others with power.

But if the people who came forward were not worth enough, they would not attract the attention of the people in Guangnan..."

Zhao Xing clapped: "By the way, let Hu Ji Kasli come forward. This canvas textile technique was presented to Taizu by Yi Ci Leye. Hu Ji is also a Hu person. Others can't figure out the difference between her and Yi Ci Leye, so she comes forward to sue, which is enough."

Wanqi Yong echoed: "This is true that no one can tell the relationship between Hu Jike and the adults. It is not far and near, and it is just right for her to come forward. But Cheng Xian needs to explain clearly so that he will not be sentenced directly."

The criminal prison on Guangnan East Road was under the jurisdiction of Cheng Zheng, and his capital was located in Shaozhou. If you want to file a lawsuit, you must go to Shaozhou to file a lawsuit, which means that Zhao Xing must open the road. Since last year, Zhao Xing has closed several official roads in the province under the banner of road construction. These official roads are not allowed to leave, but have been investigated strictly.

Zhao Xing immediately instructed: "You go there in person, so just tell him the truth, and said that I just wanted the people of Guangnan to know that I am a rule-abiding person and everything is done according to the rules. Therefore, the law can judge as much as the law should.

In addition, as the summer is approaching and the people are inconvenient to travel, the road leading to Lianzhou, Huizhou has been repaired, so we simply opened all roads in the state from today. The order was issued: The civilians who built Huizhou roads were transferred back and began to build roads from Yingzhou to Shaozhou. This road is still built according to the specifications of Huizhou roads, with a foot pavilion built every ten miles and a post station built every thirty miles...

You have a notice and announce that the operating rights of those snatch pavilions and stations will start auctioning next month, telling them that there is no tax or fee for operating snatch pavilions and stations, but they are responsible for maintaining the roads along the way, and the maintenance costs will be paid from their income, and the government will no longer allocate funds."

After pausing for a moment, Zhao Xing said again: "Cheng Xian must have your own actions. You might as well say Kasli's identity a little vaguely and let him understand it in his heart..."

Kasili's identity cannot be vague. She is Zhao Xing's concubine, and she is a concubine who has passed the service period. According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, she is now just a maid at most. But she is equivalent to a secretary by Zhao Xing, and dealing with Guangzhou vassal merchants is exactly her strength. So she has been in Guangzhou for less than a month and has been responsible for supervising Zhao Xing's large number of documents in the Maritime Warehouse Department - but it is precisely because of Kasili's identity that it is convenient to serve as a plaintiff.

After Wanqiyong finished his report, he turned around and prepared to say goodbye. Huang Tingjian hurriedly stopped him and said, "Lie, it should not be said by me, the criminal official, but you just talked about reform and gaining trust from the people. It is extremely inappropriate to give an example. Shang Yang and Ximen Bao, who are they? If this example is passed, I am afraid that the Censor will not be able to get along with you again!
Chapter completed!
