Du Zhongxiao put the paperwork aside, picked up the cup, took a sip of wine, and picked a few grapes from the plate next to him to eat.

As soon as the railway was repaired to the Zhenrong Army, the attitude of the party members immediately changed, and it was no longer as tough as it was a few days ago. The imperial court sent a letter and asked Du Zhongxiao to restrain Zhao Zi, not to attack Blackwater City for the time being, and to wait for news from the capital.

Du Zhongxiao wants Blackwater City on the transportation line, and he doesn't want to fight. There are many soldiers on Hequ Road, and it is not easy to complete the training. If these hundreds of thousands of people want to form combat strength, it will take a year or two, and a short period of time is not suitable for another war. It is best for the party members to voluntarily hand over Blackwater City, which saves a lot of trouble. It is already summer, and the soldiers and civilians who have newly arrived on Hequ Road cannot catch up with the season, regardless of agriculture and animal husbandry, so it is better to build more projects.

The two envoys of the party to the capital, Nuo Yisheng, are both ministers of care, representing the party and the royal family. Li Shougui is a minister in the central government and an upstart in the Empress Dowager's dynasty. One of the two represents the royal family and the other represents the queen mother, which shows that the previous defeat did not hide the decline of Pang's power in the party.

The Empress Dowager of the Dang Xiang Wuzang clan turned out to be the wife of Yeli Yuqi, and Li Shougui was Yeli Yuqi's housekeeper and strategist. Yuan Hao killed Yeli and begged, did not hide the family and entered the Buddhist temple, and Li Shougui followed. I don't know if the two hooked up at that time, or if there was an adulterous affair before. Later, Yuan Hao regretted killing Yeli Yuqi and looked for his family, but the Wuzang clan was admitted to the palace by Queen Yeli. Occasionally, Yuan Hao saw the Wuzang clan, coveted his beauty, and had an affair with him. The affair was discovered by Queen Yeli, and once again forced the Tibetan family to become a monk. Yuan Hao gave the Wuzang clan as the "Master of Wuzang", placed in the Jietan Temple, and went to the temple from time to time to fornicate with him, and even stayed in the Buddhist temple at night, without concealment. Later, he was not moved as the new queen, and Queen Yeli was wasted, and he never gave up the Wuzang clan.

Brother Ning Ling, the prince of the party, was taken away by his father Yuan Hao when he was newly married, and he held a grudge, and stabbed Yuan Hao with a sharp blade, and finally died. did not hide Pang to kill Brother Ning Ling, and on the grounds that the Wu Zang clan was pregnant, he forcibly disobeyed Yuan Hao's edict, and did not let Brother Ning Ling be the lord of the country, and waited for the Wu Zang clan to give birth to a child, that is, the current lord of Xia is forgiving Zuo. The Wuzang clan thus became the queen mother, and the dynasty was called the system.

Didn't the Tibetan clan give birth at that time, was it forgive? Was it a boy at the time? At the time, it was not clear. There are rumors in the party that Liang Zuo is actually a child without a collector, who was carried into the palace and pointed out as Yuan Hao. Outsiders don't know about this kind of thing at all, and without the Zang clan in power, everyone doesn't dare to say it.

After the Wuzang clan came to power, Li Shougui rose to prominence and became a party upstart and a minister of the DPRK and China. He was originally a Han Chinese, he liked to read, and he had some ink in his stomach, so he seemed to be a minister. When her husband Yeli was killed by Yuan Hao, it didn't take long for the Zang clan to fly with Yuan Hao, and this kind of thing was used to it. Just like Yuan Hao back then, he didn't hide it at all, and now the Wuzang clan also lives with Li Shougui, just like husband and wife.

Du Zhongxiao got this information and was amazed at the party. Emperor Yuan Hao, no matter how later generations boasted, his court smelled of the grass platform team from head to toe. The private lives of royals, the relationship between men and women, is even more messy. But in any case, Li Shougui, as a man who lives with the Queen Mother, must have an extraordinary status in the party. Together with Nuo Yisheng, he can basically decide the major affairs of the party and the government, saying that he is going back to Beijing to ask for a decree, but it is just an excuse, and eight or nine out of ten party items in Blackwater City are going to be sacrificed.

Du Zhongxiao drank cold wine, thinking about the party's affairs, and many relationships were not clear for a while. This Wuzang clan should be very beautiful in the future, otherwise with Yuan Hao's temperament, he shouldn't have maintained a relationship for so long. His own prince married his daughter-in-law, Yuan Hao saw that his daughter-in-law was beautiful, and he took it and set up the temperament of the new queen, not a little beautiful, how could Pang Yu wait until Yuan Hao died.

Now he is only in his twenties, and he likes to go hunting, and he also likes to travel at night, which is obviously not worry-free. Just the men around her can make the party unhappy.

At this moment, Bao Zheng walked in. I saw Du Zhongxiao sitting on a chair under the tree, with an enamel basin on a small table on one side, which was filled with ice cubes, a wine jug in it, and some melons and fruits. couldn't help laughing: "Today's festival is so handsome!" ”

Du Zhongxiao got up and said with a smile: "I have been busy in the dark for several years, but today I have to be free and relax." Is it a half-day to steal a floating life? ”

For these sentences or two that occasionally pop up in Du Zhongxiao, and the good sentences that don't know the origin, Bao Zheng is used to it.

Sitting down, Du Zhongxiao said: "Long Tu came over, I don't know what happened?" ”

Bao Zheng said: "Du Zhisi ordered the amount of money to be printed on this road, and the day before yesterday, he also used the train to transport the machine that printed the money, and brought the copper coins as the capital. Let's ask the scripture, can you print money? ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "It should be printed." Shengzhou is close to the frontier and is traded with copper coins, which is easy to flow out of the country. However, money is a big thing, and it can't be printed casually. It is best to have a skillful painter and carefully make plates, in addition to preventing piracy, it is also easy for the people to accept. ”

Bao Zheng said: "This matter is a coincidence. Wen Tong, the incoming Shengzhou Tui official, is famous for his calligraphy and painting, especially good at painting bamboo. ”

Du Zhongxiao didn't look at Wen Tong's qualifications in detail, and when he heard this, he hurriedly asked Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng said: "Wen Tong is a native of Yongtai County, Sichuan, and a jinshi in the first year of Huangyou. Tiansheng Jinshi Su Xun is his cousin, by the way, his brother Su Xun is also very famous. Wen Tongshan is not only good at poetry and writing, but also has a good hand in Danqing, especially good at painting bamboo, especially ink bamboo. If it is used for engraving, it must be excellent. ”

Du Zhongxiao nodded, and straightened out what Bao Zheng said, although he couldn't remember that there was such a person in history, his relatives were famous. Su Xun is his cousin, so Su Shi is his cousin. Suddenly, I was confident that the idiom seemed to have something to do with Su Shi, didn't I just say that this text is the same? There is such a person, or his own subordinates, and it is also an interesting thing to carve a money quotation plate with bamboo as the theme.

The river meandering road is a side road, with many soldiers and horses, and the cost is cumbersome. However, the population is small, and the tax revenue is naturally less, and the household department cannot collect much money now. The amount of money paid by the degree is quite large, and the household department can only ship money here. Fortunately, after having a money road, it is also convenient to transport copper coins.

Du Zhongxiao thought for a while and said, "When the money is printed, the most important thing is to spend it." We are different from the mainland here, as long as the government collects tax money in the mainland, the people like to use it. We have very few households here, and the amount is so large that we can't spend it when it is printed, and we have nowhere to collect it. ”

Bao Zheng said: "What should I do? At present, the government only lends money to all parties to attract the amount, and refuses to allocate cash. The money transported by the household department is not allowed to be misappropriated by the government unless it is brought to the savings house for exchange. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "There is no other way, but to find a way from Hu Shang." If they are willing to use it, everything will be easy. ”

Bao Zheng shook his head when he heard this: "They like the copper coins of this dynasty, and they are willing to change them to paper printed money, which one is willing to ask for them?" I'm afraid this matter is a little difficult to do. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "It is precisely because it is difficult to do it that we have to find a way to do it." Otherwise, we don't have any money in our hands, so what are we going to do? Locally build railways and build cities, which one does not cost money? Here is the gate to the Central Plains again, the merchants have shipped goods, there is no money to trade, and the business cannot be done. Let's think about it, how can we make Hu businessmen recognize money, we are not short of money. ”

Bao Zheng said: "Unless, let Hu Fan use the money to the savings house to exchange for copper coins, and allow him to take it out of the country." ”

Du Zhongxiao shook his head: "How can that be?" Copper coins flow out of the country, and it is difficult to come back, but it is the capital of the money! I can't make an idea on this, but I still think about how to let the merchants exchange money for goods in the territory in order to really solve the problem. ”

Bao Zheng said: "This requires the help of the Ministry of Households." Originally, we sent money to induce, and it was a matter for the Department of Households to take it back. Local new expansion, tax collection is not much, so let them work hard in the mall. Let the mall sell more goods that the Hu people like, and lure back the money in their hands. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "The mall is now a grass market, how can it look like a mainland mall." Forget it, let the Department of Household Affairs set up a promotion on this road, and a special person is responsible for this matter. Now in the states of the road, the officials are all generals, and it is not a solution. ”
