The night was dark, the lights in Han Gang's study were still bright, and Wang Yi was holding the account book at home for Han Gang to review.

The year-end closing is a rule, Han Gang remembered that he once joked that the time of closing the accounts was changed after the New Year's Festival, so as to save a bunch of things crowded together before the New Year's Festival, but after all, it was still not enough to get used to it.

Wang Yi and several other wives and concubines worked hard, Han Gang was the shopkeeper, and the family's internal accounts were never mixed, just listen to the results. Wang Yi and the others worked hard to make the account book, and Han Gang glanced at it twice and threw it aside.

At this time, when Wang Yi saw her leisurely husband, she was angry. And he was fighting in the past two days, Han Gang went to see off Wang Anli during the day, and accompanied him carefully, and his mood improved slightly. But this time, the mood went bad again.

"This is a letter from He Ju, it belongs to Brother Yi." Han Gang handed over a letter in due course. He knew that Wang Yi liked to discuss family affairs with her by himself, rather than being kept in the dark. Husband and wife for many years, want to make his wife feel better, Han Gang still knows what to do.

Wang Yi took the letter, looked at it twice, and knew that Lu Dao was talking about the glass workshop. Han Gang told her a lot about this matter. At first glance it looked unimpressed, but after a few lines, a huge number surprised her.

"Seven out of twenty on money...... Absolutely! Wang Yi was shocked by this number.

"Say it. Talking about money sounds like a reward from the imperial court. Han Gang corrected Wang Yi's statement, "Brother Yi deliberately wrote it this way to fool people." ”

The court gives money, and it is always used to say it to Dali. One hundred, two hundred, the word 'hundred' is spinning, and it is pitiful to listen to. 100,000 yuan, 200,000 yuan, as soon as the word '10,000' is used, it is a completely different realm.

At the beginning, the prince Zhao successfully planted pox, and the Son of Heaven gave 300,000 yuan. Because of the pox for the prince, Han Gang received a reward of 300 yuan. Of the two statements, the former is naturally more reflective of the generosity of the imperial court.

At the beginning of the country, Cao Bin led the army to destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Emperor Taizu gave 200,000 yuan. There is only so much reward for Cao Taiwei to capture the Southern Tang Dynasty, which was exchanged for the position of envoy [Jiedu envoy and prime minister]. It sounds like a 10,000-word word, and it's okay. If it is replaced by 200 guan, the court's harsh treatment of people will be known to the world.

This may be a habit left over from the Han and Tang dynasties, and it is always counted as one dollar or two dollars. But in today's Great Song Dynasty, commerce is developed, far better than the Han and Tang Dynasties. When people do business, they all use how many thousands, how many dollars, and how many runs, and never use one or two dollars.

But then again, whether it is 20 out of 70,000 or 2.7 million yuan, it is a very staggering number.

After Emperor Renzong's great trip, the reward given by the imperial court was a little more than this amount. Yingzong reigned for just over three years, because the revenue and expenditure had always been in deficit and the treasury was empty, the money and silk given to his ministers after the great bank was less than one million yuan. When today's first impression of the emptiness of the treasury comes from this, how can it be that there is no reason for him to change the law wholeheartedly?

"How can there be so many?!"

"Think about how many people there are in the world."

At present, the 2.7 million yuan that Feng Congyi said in the letter is his estimate of the annual income of the glass industry. It can be inferred that the value of the workshop and the recipe is several times greater.

However, there is no definite evaluation standard for the value of the workshop in this era, especially Han Gang always likes to play tricks and spread arts, and now, it has even attracted many wealthy businessmen to spend money to study newer crafts together, and then share the results together. Just like the manufacture of transparent glass, if it were not for the efforts of more than 20 Yongqin wealthy merchants, it would be difficult to use the local raw materials in Gongzhou so quickly to find an industrial formula that can come in handy.

Once glass products are popularized, Feng Congyi estimates that there will be a maximum of 2.7 million yuan a year, but this belongs to all participants, and more and more people will participate in the account.

In Han Gang's hands, the other figure is 500,000 guan, which is the lowest value estimated by Feng Congyi, but it has not been announced to other merchants. Speaking of which, such an estimate is very unreliable, almost out of the brain, and in Feng Congyi's understanding, he estimated that it was 2.7 million guan, which was a means that Han Gang intended to use to lure people in.

"Two million and seven thousand guan ......" Although the Han family has a rich family background, and Han Gang has said that his tangible and intangible assets are worth tens of millions in the past, but looking at the figure of two million and seven hundred thousand guan a year, Wang Yi is still surprised, and asked again, "Is there really so many?" ”

"Benefiting the world, of course, is not achieved overnight. If there is a development of twenty or thirty years, or even longer, it is about the same. It's a big industry. Han Gang said with a smile.

"The officials don't want to take all the 2.7 million yuan into the eunuchs' pockets?"

"Jokes. If you can't eat it and use it up, do you store it in the ground? What I want to see is a thriving industry...... I don't have the courage of my father-in-law to be the enemy of the corporal of the world, but I still have some ideas about how to solve the problem. Han Gang admired Wang Anshi's character and mind very much, and admired his toughness even more, but Han Gang knew that he couldn't learn, his stubbornness and Wang Anshi's stubbornness were completely different things, "New land, new industries, and smoother water and land transportation are all means that can bring rich income to the imperial court. Just have patience, ten or twenty years to cultivate and wait. ”

This has been mentioned to Wang Yi one after another before. She nodded, her husband has the world in mind, which is what Wang Yi is most proud of.

"But it's still empty talk now, things have to be done step by step." Han Gang has a lot of ideas, but it takes a lot of time.

Another example is the Yongqin Chamber of Commerce, which has internal credit lending for a long time, and the flying money business in Beijing and several important counties in Shaanxi is in preparation. Although it is still in its infancy, the formalized and organized financial consortium will have a preliminary prototype in the next two years, which is a realistic need.

Feng Congyi had already written to discuss it several times, but Han Gang asked him to be cautious and cautious, and walk steadily step by step.

To tell the truth, it is too easy to get money through pledges and loans, and it is very troublesome to borrow from ordinary people to compete with official convenience loans, but there is no obstacle to lending to business partners. As long as the partners after borrowing share a part of the information and communication resources in the hands of the Yongqin Chamber of Commerce, the probability of bad debts will be very small. And flying money is the prototype of paper money, and the seigniorage can easily exceed hundreds of thousands. Han Gang was only worried that Feng Congyi and other wealthy businessmen who participated in it would see that the money came too easily, so they left the industry behind.

"Governing the country and leveling the world and opening peace for the world are not empty words. When the Son of Heaven asked about politics, Sima Jun said that it was 'the three essentials of cultivating the mind: benevolence, enlightenment, and martial arts; The three essentials of governing the country are: officials, rewards, and punishments. But there is no actual implementation of the rules at all, who wouldn't just shout empty words? Did it work? Han Gang shook his head, "How can I compare to my father-in-law, who is really willing to do things at the expense of fame." The Son of Heaven appointed his father-in-law, and put Sima 12 in Shaanxi, and even arranged it in Luoyang, is it for no reason? You really can't do real things. ”

Wang Yi smiled, she could feel that her husband's admiration for her father was sincere. Although the Taoism is different, it is still a fight for justice, rather than an indiscriminate attack like accusing the other party's character.

Seeing that his wife's mood improved, Han Gang was also relieved. The house is restless, but it is a headache.

It's just that it's for his wife, but it's still hidden and tucked a lot. Han Gang has now clearly realized that the continued development of industry and commerce in his advocacy will inevitably be dragged down by habits and culture - whether it is the plantations in Jiaozhou, or the workshops and cotton fields in Xihe, the demand for population is almost endless, but the culture of this era is far from keeping up with the speed of development that Han Gang wants to achieve.

During this period of time, Han Gang has been thinking, and as his status becomes higher and higher, the perspective of looking at problems is getting wider and wider. There must be a program, or theory, that would make sense to change the current ideology and support the country on the path of industrial expansion and development. It's not urgent, but it's an inescapable problem.

Then again, these are not the top priorities either.

The top priority is the Liao. Han Gang's errand can't be escaped.

The Zhengdan of the Liao State made Xiao Xi enter Beijing in a few days, and now it is estimated that he has arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion. With Yelu Yixin's old spicy, or old treacherous and cunning, he would not be so confused that he thought that he could get much benefit with just one Xiao Xi, especially before he sent Xiao Xi, he didn't know that the Great Song Emperor had become a waste. A natural inference is that there will definitely be action at the border.

However, Yelu Yixin probably won't do it yet, he shouldn't be ready to let Song and Liao fall into war, and it is more likely to drive vassals or agents - he has played this hand before, and he can naturally continue to do it now.

So it's not Hedong, it's Shaanxi.

Either the Montenegrin party in Shengzhou, or the remnants of Qingtongxia.

Han Gang hadn't discussed this with Zhang Dian yet, and he was so busy with all kinds of things a few days ago that he forgot about it for a while. And when there is no need to negotiate, Zhang Dian will not be unexpected. Even if he didn't expect it, someone would remind him that Liu Zhongwu was not without reason in Mingsha City, and there were quite a few experts in the Zhang family's disciples who knew about Western and Northern affairs.

On the Hedong side, Hangang has the eyes and ears of the folded family, and Shaanxi is even more self-retained, which is much stronger than Zhang Dun, who only has Liu Zhongwu, and as for Hebei, there is also Li Xin in Dingzhou.

He was going to apply to the Empress and Xifu tomorrow to check the information stored in the Privy Council Chamber, which was in charge of diplomatic dealings.

In a few days, there should be news from SF Express, and with the information from the Privy Council, at least we can have a complete understanding of the current frontier situation. For example, such as the movements of the Liao State on the border, etc., it is necessary to grasp the information when negotiating with Xiao Xi.

Just thinking of this, Han Gang suddenly became a little worried.

Is the queen ready?

The reason for making himself an embassy envoy is ridiculous to prevent the prince from being rushed by the Khitans - speaking of which, if he takes over the errand of the privy deputy envoy, the embassy envoy will not be able to do it, and there is no reason for the ruling party to accompany the guests - he has not mentioned the possible conflicts on the border.

To know the Dao, the Liao people will even go into battle immediately because they find out that the Son of Heaven has had a stroke.

Is the queen ready for such preparations?!

……………………

The queen was distressed by the lamp at this time.

The fifth edict of promoting Han Gang as the privy deputy has been written, but the white hemp edict is in her hand, and the queen is upset.

She knew that Han Gang would definitely not accept the edict.

So what's next?

You can't learn from Wang Anshi when he forced Han Gang to go to Hengshan, if you are willing to do it, if you don't want to do it, you still have to do it. The dignified privy deputy envoy, the cool umbrella that tens of millions of civil and military officials can't ask for, can force people to follow? This is the name of the country. Ah, it's not a shame to go home

However, the dictionaries written by Wang Qi and Lu Gong have been comforted three times, and they can almost be agreed. She has already approved two of them with a red pen, and she can send them down below, and let Master Hanlin draft a new place for the two of them.

Does her husband have the intention to let Han Gang be the privy deputy envoy? As Han Gang, being the Son of Heaven is more than enough, and it is also reassuring. I just want to add two colleagues, one is my father-in-law and the other is my division commander, what does this make Han Gang think?

Is it compensation to be a privy deputy?

Think about people's tempers. It's exactly the same as Wang Anshi. Can such a method be used indiscriminately?

Two days ago, as soon as I heard that Zeng Bu had come back to do political affairs, the reluctant minister came directly to the door, and her black face turned white with anger on the side of the royal bed, and she was shocked when she saw it next to her.

In the end, I was willing to agree, that was because I was thinking about the old days, and when I saw my husband's current appearance, I felt uncomfortable and didn't want to fight anymore. Wang Anshi's mentality changed, and the queen was the most clear beside him.

Why is this so painful?

Thinking to the queen, comparing her heart to her heart, can't you let loyal ministers like Wang Xianggong and Han Bachelor do their best?

Putting down Han Gang's edict, Xiang Empress picked up another piece of music placed on the top, and her face changed suddenly: "What's the matter with the Privy Council?!" Why didn't this matter come up early! ”
