There is one point, although Kou Ji didn't say it, but Zhao Zhen guessed it.

That is, with the continuous migration of the population in the hinterland of the Central Plains, the fields in the hinterland of the Central Plains can be vacated.

Before the border land was completely occupied, the imperial court had a steady stream of land in its hands.

Perhaps, after a piece of land was lent out by the imperial court, it was repeatedly returned to the imperial court.

The imperial court's edicts on the vast fields of the frontier were very lenient, and as long as the people from the hinterland of the Central Plains migrated and adapted to the local soil and climate, there was a high probability that they would stay.

After all, in the Great Song Dynasty, you may be able to plant ten acres of land, but after you reach the border, you may get fifty acres, or even a hundred acres of land.

The output gap is self-evident.

Most places in the Great Song Dynasty are ripe once a year, or three times in two years.

Even if there is a difference in the borderlands, it is not much worse.

There are multiple fields for cultivation, and there is no loss of money.

"I have decided, the two strategies will be parallel, and the people will choose for themselves."

"You have to set the threshold, otherwise the land will fall into the hands of those wealthy families again."

Zhao Zhen thought about it for a while and said: "In terms of households, if a household has a land yield of more than five acres, it is not allowed to buy land. The number of acres purchased by each household shall not exceed five acres. ”

Kou Ji nodded and said: "In order to prevent the wealthy families from seeking land through the household registration of the common people, corresponding laws must be formulated, stipulating that after borrowing, the land can only be attributed to the purchaser, and those who are not buyers encroach on the land will be sentenced to the purchaser."

In addition, after the loan of the land property has been settled, it is not allowed to buy or sell for one year......"

Kou Ji said a lot in one breath, making sure that all the openings that could be blocked were blocked.

This decree is a decree for the benefit of the people, not a regular decree.

So there is absolutely no room for any hole drilling.

After Kou Ji blocked all the gaps, he said: "We can implement this decree next year, but this year, we must let the Great Song Dynasty Books and Newspapers publish this matter in the books and newspapers to ensure that everyone knows about it."

In addition, the people who sent Wu Desi secretly supervised the matter, and ordered the local inspection and supervision to strictly supervise the matter.

Ensure that every acre of land is in the hands of the people, not the hands of the wealthy.

Da Song Qianzhuang should also strengthen supervision to ensure that this decree will not become a decree that harms the people.

The people borrow money voluntarily, and it is absolutely forbidden to force people to buy and sell.

When it is time to pay the loan at the age of each year, it is not allowed to use force, let alone harm people's lives in order to collect it.

If there are no natural or man-made disasters, and the imperial court has not reduced taxes and loans, it will be postponed for one year, and if it cannot be completed after one year, the land property will be recovered, and the border area will be distributed and serve for three years.

Those who are willing to serve in exchange for land property will be included in the local military registration and bound by the art of war.

When the service period is reached, or if you are willing to settle down in the border areas, you can leave the military registration and belong to the civilian registration, which is under the control of the local yamen. ”

After listening to Kou Ji's story, Zhao Zhen beckoned to the recorder sitting in the corner of the Shishitang.

The recorder took the booklet that recorded the conversation between the two and came to Zhao Zhen.

After Zhao Zhen read it carefully, he said in a deep voice: "This matter should be discussed together with the head of the household department, the military department, and the head of the Great Song Qian Village.

After the consultation is due, it will be implemented accordingly. ”

Kou Ji nodded, "As it should be." ”

Such a major national policy can only be decided after many parties have discussed it.

Avoid material disclosures.

After Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji discussed the matter, Zhao Zhen was very interested and left Kou Ji in the palace.

The two drank and had fun and talked for a long time.

Kou Ji left the palace.

As soon as he returned to the bamboo courtyard, Zhao Run, a small wealth fan, appeared beside Kou Ji.

He said with burning eyes: "Sir, do you think the student has the ability to open a bank?" ”

Kou Ji was walking into the study, and when he heard Zhao Run's words, he paused and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of opening a money bank?" ”

Zhao Run said decisively: "Make money!" ”

Kou Ji glanced at Zhao Run up and down, and Zhao Run was uncomfortable.

Zhao Run lowered his head and knocked on his body, not feeling that there was anything wrong, so he looked at Kou Ji suspiciously.

Kou Ji said bluntly: "The biggest money bank in the Great Song Dynasty is your family's, is it a bit of a waste to open a money bank to grab business with your own money bank?" ”

Zhao Run pouted and said, "The Great Song Qianzhuang belongs to my father, not to the entire royal family. From beginning to end, I have never paid a penny of Da Song Qianzhuang.

So I'm going to make my own money. ”

Kou Ji groaned, "You have enough money in your hand to spend it. It won't do you much good to make money again. Some flies will sniff and pounce on them.

Besides, money is not as simple as you think.

The dilapidated Bafang Jiaozi shop has just passed.

You don't want to follow in the footsteps of all corners and lose all your money, right? ”

Zhao Run thought of the tragic situation of Bafang Jiaozipu, and hesitated, "With Mr. help, the students won't be so miserable, right?" ”

Kou Ji said seriously: "Your identity is different, once the business fails, if something happens, it will only be worse." Many well-intentioned people will use this to attack you and ruin your reputation. ”

Zhao Run sighed, "That student is no longer a money banker." ”

Seeing Zhao Run's gloomy expression, Kou Ji couldn't help but say, "I want to do business? ”

Zhao Run looked at Kou Ji and nodded violently.

Kou Ji asked, "Why do you like money so much?" ”

Zhao Run said frankly: "Students don't like money either, because students have never worried about money since they were born. Students also know that they will not worry about money in the future.

Students just love the feeling of making money.

Students do business like farmers grow crops.

How happy the farmer is when he harvests, how happy the student is when he earns money. ”

Kou Ji groaned, "You don't have many friends because of your identity, so you want to get joy by borrowing money?" ”

Zhao Run thought carefully for a moment and said, "Yes and no...... The main reason is that students don't have anything else to do except learn things, so they just want to make money and play. ”

Kou Ji nodded and said, "Even so, then I'll show you a clear path." You and Tianci are close friends, and Tianci is now in Korea, and there are many specialties in Handi.

You can get a lot of specialties from Korea through Tianci and sell them in Bianjing. ”

Zhao Runhu said suspiciously: "There are border markets in Handi and Liaoyang Prefecture, and there are merchants who have been going back and forth between the border city and Bianjing City, so there are already four shops in Bianjing City selling things from Handi.

Will students suffer a little if they enter the school? ”

Kou Ji smiled and said, "You took something from a heavenly gift, and it is naturally the best thing." The price can be raised a little higher, and only rarities are sold, not ordinary things.

In this way, you will naturally stand out from the other four.

If today's trade routes are wide open, there are countless merchants who enter and leave Bianjing every day.

Rich people abound, as long as your things are good, you don't have to worry about selling them at all. ”

Zhao Run thought about it carefully and said with a smile: "The student will send a letter to Tianci when he turns around, and discuss this matter with Tianci." ”

Kou Ji smiled and nodded, "Let's go play." ”

Zhao Run agreed with a bright smile and rushed frantically to the outside of the bamboo courtyard.

He had just been halfway through when he suddenly heard Kou Ji's voice behind him.

"Stop!"

Zhao Run paused, turned around and gave Kou Ji a bright smile.

Kou Ji glared at Zhao Run, "I haven't checked your schoolwork yet, so you want to run?" ”

Zhao Run smiled dryly: "You asked me to play......"

"Humph......"

Kou Ji snorted, beckoned to Zhao Run, and took Zhao Run to the study.

Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong are now studying in the Wenchang Academy, so there are only four people in the study: Kou Hui, Su Jingxian, Su Shi, and Di Yong.

Kou Hui is a person who can't sit still, making all kinds of trouble in the study.

Su Jingxian obediently led Su Shi and Di Yong, the two little guys, to read on the side.

Although they are all from Kou Ji's disciples, it is Su Jingxian who really teaches Su Shi and Di Yong literacy and Chinese learning.

At most, Kou Ji taught them some arithmetic, and told them some miscellaneous science through storytelling.

Because the three little ones were too young to learn too deep knowledge, Kou Ji would not teach them any profound knowledge.

For example, Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong are now competing with Western literature, and the other is competing with Western philosophy and astronomy.

It is also interspersed with some knowledge that Kou Ji brought with him from later generations.

Because they were born in the Central Plains, they were naturally hostile to Western culture.

So when you read books on Western culture, you always have to compete with them.

If the Central Plains culture defeated the Western culture, they would despise it, and if the Western culture defeated the Central Plains culture, they would study it carefully, and then look for ancient books to see if the sages had studied the same culture and recorded it.

Kou Ji liked the records of Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong very much.

Because of his records, it is equivalent to a complete sinicization of Western culture, which is of great help to the future spread of these cultures.

For example, some of the same principles in China and the West can be explained by quoting the words of the sages.

It can be regarded as finding a foothold for many things in Western culture, making it easier for them to spread and easier for the Great Song people to accept.

Of course, neither literature nor philosophy is too difficult for them.

After all, literature and philosophy are compulsory subjects for them from an early age.

The two of them are the best among them, so they can naturally easily comprehend and discern the truth.

What really bothered the two of them was Western astronomy, and Kou Ji's "Nature" in the name of Western culture.

Although there is an understanding of nature in Western culture, it is somewhat simple compared to the nature given by Koji.

The nature given by Koji is more comprehensive.

Whether it is astronomy or "Nature", many things in it are contrary to the culture of the Central Plains.

When they first came into contact with astronomy and Nature, they firmly condemned some of these things as fallacies.

After careful argumentation, it was confirmed that the truth in it was the truth.

An endless storm will arise in the mind.

Much of what they have learned will be overturned, and much of what they think will be true.

Two hurricanes will collide wildly in the mind, and the pain can be imagined.

After all, Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong are both old, and some ideas have already taken shape, and suddenly overthrowing them will make them fall into many doubts.

Like what......

"Is the sky round fake?"

"That's what the book says."

"Is the ancestor's wisdom really wrong?"

"I don't know, I can't argue. In the book given by the gentleman, it is mentioned that we can go to the beach and watch the sails of the ship sailing in the distance, and make sure that the ground under our feet is round. ”

"Why isn't the sea round?"

"Have you ever seen arched water lying flat on the ground?"

"It's me who is confused......"

"I'm more confused......"

"If the ground under our feet is round, then why didn't we fall?"

"There is a mention in the book...... It is said that the ground under our feet has a force of gravity, and everything is attached to the ground. ”

"Why ......"

"If there is no suction, why doesn't everything fly in the sky, but fall to the ground?"

"Bird ......"

"What a bird, a bird has wings. Have you read the book that Mr. gave you? ”

"Don't dare to look at ......"

"Why?"

"There are ghosts in it, and once you read it, you will be pulled into the book by the ghosts, and you will never be able to get out again."

"Then why do you ask me?"

"Curious ......"

“……”

On the balcony of the Wenchang Academy, Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong sat side by side, their legs hanging in the air, their eyes full of confusion, and they didn't say a word.

Many people who pass behind them think they are stupid.

In the past, he was full of spirits, angry at all the two talents of the same year in the Wenchang Academy, but now every time he appears, he either walks forward with his eyes red and his head stuffy, or he talks to himself, or he looks at the sky with his eyes blank.

In the past, they were surrounded by many sincere and fake friends, but now none of them are gone.

Only the two of them stayed together.

A young man dressed in white appeared behind the two with a folding fan in his hand and brisk steps.

"Brother Wang...... Great-Brother ......"

Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong came back to their senses and looked back at the young man behind them.

Zeng Gong pouted and said, "When others see us, they all hide away, why do you still come to us?" ”

The young man was not polite, walked to Zeng Gong and sat down, and said with a smile: "I'm more curious about the knowledge you are studying. ”

Wang Anshi saw that the young man was sitting on Zeng Gong's side, and frowned slightly.

Wang Anshi knew in his heart that the reason why the young man avoided him was because he had a smell on his body.

He is carefree, unkempt, and does not wash often, so there is often a faint smell on his body, and others mistakenly think that he has a skin disease, so he is not liked.

Some wild histories even really record his unkemptness, infrequent washing, and dirty body as a skin disease.

After apprenticeship, I took a bath diligently, and with a sachet, there was no taste.

But in recent days, I've been enchanted by research and learning, and I haven't paid much attention to it, so the taste has come up.

But the young man's nose is sensitive, so he deliberately hides himself.

Wang Anshi said lightly, "We didn't study anything...... There's nothing to learn......"

The young man smiled heartily, "Brother Wang said that he was joking, others said that Brother Wang and Brother Zeng had fallen into madness. But the younger brother knew that the two brothers were studying advanced knowledge.

The younger brother has also been caught in this situation.

So understandable. ”

Wang Anshi looked up at the sky and didn't pay attention to him.

Zeng Gong asked the young man: "Do you know why everything does not fly to the sky, but to the ground?" Is there a rope on the ground that binds everything? ”

The young man was stunned for a moment, and fell into deep thought.

After a short moment, the young man smiled and said, "The birds are flying in the sky." ”

"But it still has to land. So everything will eventually fall to the ground. But there is no rope on the ground to comfort them, so why don't they float in the air, but fall to the ground? ”

Zeng Gong asked again.

The young man groaned for a moment and said bluntly, "Because it has weight, it will fall low." ”

Zeng Gong asked again, "So everything is because the sky is high and the earth is low, so it keeps falling to the ground?" ”

The young man nodded without hesitation.

Zeng Gong asked again, "What if the land is round?" ”

The young man laughed and said, "How can the earth be round?" ”

Zeng Gong gave an example: "The Eastern Han Dynasty Zhang Heng's "Notes on the Armillary Sphere" and the Eastern Han Dynasty Wang Chong's "On Heng and the Day" say that the ground is round, as well as the "Zhou Ji Sutra" and "Kaiyuan Zhanjing" all have side arguments that the ground is round. ”

When the young man heard this, he did not rush to defend the matter, but asked, "Brother Zeng has been studying astronomy and geography recently?" ”

Zeng Gongba smacked his mouth and said quietly: "Sort of......"

The young man nodded and continued to ask, "Why does Brother Zeng think that the earth is round, just because of the four ancient books?" Or maybe there is some evidence from elsewhere that leads to this question. ”

As soon as Zeng Gong was about to speak, he heard Wang Anshi say nonchalantly: "You only need to answer Zeng Gong's question immediately." ”

Zeng Gong closed his mouth and looked at the young man.

The young man pondered for a moment and said, "The sky is round and the place is the eternal truth. The doctrine of a few people alone is not enough to conclude the matter.

Whether it was Zhang Heng or Wang Chong, they did not leave enough evidence to prove the matter.

Since there is no evidence to prove this, it is not credible. ”

Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong glanced at each other, looked at the sky together, and did not say anything more.

Seeing this, the young man hesitated and said, "Could it be that what the younger brother said is not right?" ”

Wang Anshi didn't want to speak.

Zeng Gong pondered again and again, and said: "Jiefu and I thought so at first, but someone gave evidence. ”

The young man's pupils shrank and he asked, "Who?" ”

Zeng Gong sighed and said, "A big cannibal ......"

When the young man heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and cry, "How can the words of a barbarian be credulous?" Brother Wang and Brother Zeng are still worried about this, and they will definitely make people laugh when they say it. ”

Wang Anshi frowned and said, "Did Zigu just say it?" The Great Cannibal gave the evidence. ”

The young man was stunned for a moment, and said bluntly: "What is the evidence? ”

Wang Anshi said coldly: "Will the water arch up and flow?" ”

The young man shook his head, "If the water flows down, unless it is with the help of manpower or material resources, it will only pour down." ”

Wang Anshi nodded and said: "In this way, the boat on the calm seawater, from far to near, will see the whole ship, instead of seeing the sails first, and then the hull?" ”

The young man was stunned.

After a long time, he hesitated: "The younger brother once went to the beach, and the boat floating on the sea saw the sail first, and then saw the hull. ”

Wang Anshi nodded again and said: "You are still honest, then tell me, if the land is placed, why does this happen?" ”

The young man hesitated for a while, shook his head, and said with an embarrassed face: "Brother Wang, Brother Zeng, I still have homework to finish, so I will leave first." ”

Wang Anshi shook his head and didn't say anything more.

The young man got up and left, and after walking a few steps, he paused, hesitated, gritted his teeth, and said: "Brother Wang, Brother Zeng, don't spread this matter until you have conclusive evidence." Otherwise, he will be scolded by thousands of people. ”

After saying this, the young man arched his hand and hurried away.

Wang Anshi said without being salty or light: "At a young age, I learned to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, and it is difficult to achieve great things." ”

Zeng Gong said with a smile: "It's a bit of a conscience, not too bad." ”

Wang Anshi snorted coldly and said: "There is a difference between the inside and the outside, and you can't have deep friendships." ”

Zeng Gong looked at Wang Anshi in amazement, "How did Jiefu decide?" ”

Wang Anshi said decisively: "If you and I were not Mr.'s students, he would never take the initiative to come up and talk to us." You know, we started a year before him.

Schoolwork has already surpassed him by much, much.

He doesn't associate with those classmates in the same department, but often finds you and me.

Tell me what he's for. ”

Zeng Gong hesitated and said: "I heard that he is among the best in the same department, which is considered a rare talent, with the reputation of you and me, it is also very common for him to come and intersect with us." ”

Wang Anshi snorted and said, "Every time I see you and me, he will only be next to you, but not me." ”

When Zeng Gong heard this, he was slightly stunned, and nodded slowly: "In this way, his fellowship with you and me is indeed not sincere. ”

Speaking of this, Zeng Gong paused, stared at Wang Anshi and said, "But you really should wash frequently." ”

Wang Anshi scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "When you are busy studying, how can you have time to ......?"

Zeng Gong said seriously: "Mr. is a person who loves cleanliness very much. Don't upset him. ”

Wang Anshi sighed and said, "I know ......"

After saying this, the two of them studied the knowledge that Kou Ji had given them.

After studying for a while, Wang Anshi suddenly said: "By the way, I've seen that kid three or four times, and I don't know what his name is?" ”

Zeng Gong glanced at Wang Anshi and said, "Sima Guang, the word is Junshi." Anping of the Western Jin Dynasty dedicated the descendants of Sima Fu, the king. His father is Sima Chi, the former soldier of the Ministry of Rites, and Pang Ji, who has just returned to Beijing to serve as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, is a close friend.

He died two years ago.

Now Sima Guang is by Pang's side.

I heard that Pang Ji treated this person as a parent. ”

Wang Anshi was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Why are you so clear?" ”

Zeng Gong said nonchalantly: "Pang Ji has a little friendship with my father, and after returning to Beijing, I once met my father, and my father told me." ”

Wang Anshi nodded and said, "I see, ...... so"

After saying this, Wang Anshi seemed to remember something, stared at Zeng Gong and asked: "Pang Ji is now an important minister in the court, why didn't he go to the gentleman's mansion to pay a visit after he returned to Beijing?" ”

Zeng Gong said frankly: "With Mr.'s current status, it is impossible for Pang Ji to visit Mr. rashly. He is not like Su Xun, he is a protégé of Mr., and he can come to the door without any scruples.

If he comes to the door, he will be called a sycophant.

You know, there are a lot of people who are red-eyed now, and they don't dare to deal with Mr., so they will anger the people around him.

Just like a few days ago, when my father was sitting in the yamen, he was said to have climbed a high branch through his son. ”
