July Flowing Fire.

After the Qixi Festival, Antares, also known as the Great Fire, begins to move westward, echoing this sentence from the Book of Songs, announcing the arrival of autumn.

"But......" Han Gang raised his head, even through the dense shade of the trees, the heat of the scorching sun was only mottled with light and shadow, which could still be clearly felt on his body. The blue sky is whitened by the sun, and "the stars are not visible during the day......"

"Who says you can't see the stars during the day?"

The interjection from behind made Han Gang smile: "Of course, there is never less time when it is too daylight. As he spoke, he turned his head and saw Wang Hou take a few steps and make a step, chased after him, and walked side by side with him towards Wang Shao's official hall.

"Look at Yukun today, it's a spring breeze again......" Wang Hou looked at Han Gang and wanted to make a joke of him. It's just that Han Gang's eyes turned around and stared at him, which made Wang Hou cough, and said, "Yukun is wrong." More than ten years ago, the guest star that appeared in the southeast of Aldebaran Tianguan was in May, which was summer. But it was lit up in the day for more than 20 days in a row! ”

"Is it the one in the first year of Zhihe [1054]?" Han Gang found the answer in the memories of his predecessor, and in the memories he brought from the afterlife, he also had the answer, 'It is a supernova of the Crab Nebula.' ’

Han Gang only knew a little about astronomy, but it was enough for him to know that the Dao of the Northern Song Dynasty had erupted in the Northern Song Dynasty and had become the most famous supernova of the Crab Nebula a few hundred years later.

"Yukun, do you remember!"

"How old was the little brother at that time, how could he remember?" Han Gang shook his head, "I heard about it later. It is said that for more than 100 years since the founding of the country, no guest star has ever been so bright, brighter than Taibai Star. ”

"Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem that anything big happened in the first year of Zhihe."

Han Gang always felt that Wang Hou's tone seemed to be faintly regretful. "Guest star, guest star, since you are here to be a guest, will you have trouble with the host's family? There is no such thing as an anti-guest star. ”

"Anti-customer-oriented...... Guo Kui is here, and he must be able to oppose the customer. Wang Hou suddenly lowered his voice: "Guo Kui, don't come at all!" The current Li Shizhong is very honest, staying in the backyard every day, and only coming out for an hour every morning and evening to see things. ”

"How could it not come?!" Han Gang shook his head and smiled.

Wang Hou is very scruptuous, and his worries are not unreasonable. The Son of Heaven's evaluation of Guo Kui is 'Plotting secrets and knowing the situation.' There are ministers like this, and I have no worries about the west. ’

With Guo Kui's identity, he is a big Buddha, where he puts it, he will be suppressed. If you want to win against him, you have to be at least the level of Han Jiang, the deputy privy envoy.

However, as Wang Hou said, if Li Shizhong in the past could be as honest as he is now, Han Gang would definitely wish he could stay. It's a pity that the wood is already in the boat.

While speaking, the two had already walked to Wang Shao's official hall.

In Wang Shao's official hall, there is no longer the busyness of the previous days, and the officials running around in the hall, only two or three people are still serving by Wang Shao's side at this time. And because of the piles of old archives that were moved from the cabinet library, the dust that had always filled the hall was also blown away by the breeze after the rain two days ago.

Qinzhou should be busy here, and Wang Shao and Hangang have also been to Guwei Village two days ago. Now Gao Zunyu is still squatting in the ancient Wei Village, he is the edge to appease the Si Tong Guan Gou, and let him deal with the affairs of the yamen first. And Wang Shao is here to clean up. After waiting for Guo Kui to come, he will also move to Guwei.

Han Gang and Wang Hou crossed the threshold and walked into the hall.

Wang Shao raised his head: "Yukun, second brother, why are you here together?" ”

"I met outside." Wang Hou replied, and followed Han Gang to salute Wang Shao.

After Han Gang straightened his waist, he said, "The next official has checked all the preparations of the Qinzhou Sanatorium again, and there should be no problem." After Guo Taiwei took over, he asked him to transfer the camp for the construction of the sanatorium and hand it over to Qiu Lao Langzhong, and the next official could go to Guwei. ”

Wang Shao nodded, it was best that Han Gang could take precautions for the other mess he was in charge of. If you arrive in Guwei, without Han Gang's help, there are many things that you can't do smoothly.

"Oh, yes. Yukun, look at this. Wang Shao remembered something and handed over an official document. The exposed back of the official document is made of white silk with ayaka.

Han Gang's heart moved, and he took it and opened it, revealing the yellow paper inside.

Sure enough, it's a curse! ’。

He habitually glanced at the seals and paintings at the back, and saw the great seal of the Son of Heaven and the Political Affairs Hall, as well as the signatures of Vice Minister Chen Shengzhi and several governors headed by Wang Anshi.

There is a prime minister who signs the ruling power and overthrows the Son of Heaven, and the order issued by the Zhongshu Sect is called the Emperor. Edicts, on the other hand, are usually written on pale yellow paper.

But the texture of the book is nothing, the key is the content. Han Gang glanced at ten lines, and after reading it, he raised his head and smiled: "It's finally here." ”

"Yes," Wang Shao also smiled lightly, "It's finally here." ”

This is Han Gang's reply to Wang Shao's recital the day before yesterday. Han Gang wanted to get a piece of land for his family, but he didn't have much money in his hands, so after discussing with Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu, he submitted a note, requesting that a piece of wasteland suitable for reclamation be set aside near Guwei Village to supply the officials of the Border Pacification Division and the generals and colonels of the garrison in Guwei Village.

'If the officials serving in Guwei don't dare to buy land and property in the local area, how can they let the recruited people settle for land with peace of mind' - Han Gang came up with a straightforward reason, and now he has asked for an order in advance, and he is not afraid of fighting with Yushi in the future.

At the same time, Han Gang wanted to do business and let Feng Congyi come forward to make money to subsidize the family, but he had no capital in his hands. Fortunately, Wang Shao has money, he is in charge of the city, and he has tens of thousands of yuan in his hand - Han Gang's previous proposal to use Du Mu as collateral for the loan, and now the reply of the court also appears in this official document, and it has also been allowed, three hundred Du Mu can be mortgaged half to Qinzhou and half to the Shaanxi Transit Division.

Therefore, Han Gang suggested in the recital that the principal of the city issued by the imperial court to the Yuanbian Pacification Division could be lent to merchants, and the interest could be used to supplement military supplies—this was customary—and asked that the relatives of officials and guests be allowed to borrow. However, the interest rate on their loans is 10% higher than that of ordinary people.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is a measure to prevent the officials in charge of the market from stealing from themselves—because almost all the loans of the market often fall into the hands of the officials' relatives and doormen—so there is even a faint approval on this edict.

Han Gang can actually do not do much, and just let Feng Congyi borrow money from Wang Shao in private. However, such practices are common but not legal. In the DPRK and Qinzhou, there are always people who stare at the edge of the pacification division with unkind eyes, but they can't give the handle to others like this. Han Gang wants to take precautions and find a legal name for his next actions. In the future, when Yushi finds trouble with him, he can also slap him backhand.

He didn't care about the extra interest of one percent. Border trade has always been high-risk and high-reward. Many caravans were plundered, but many were reloaded. When you weigh the risks and rewards, the profits are often as much as three or five times.

In the newly opened market, the risk of trading is greatly reduced, and although the profit will also be reduced due to the tax payable, the proportion of the reduction is not much. Officials doing business in the place of office have an innate advantage in themselves, and they can reduce the risk of transactions to almost zero, while profits will increase due to their status.

The profit that can be obtained after the most Lu is calculated by Han Gang himself, and he also let Feng Congyi calculate it after running along the Wei River in the area of Yongning and Sanyang for more than a year, as far as Han Gang knows, Wang Shao asked Yuan Qian to also calculate, and Gao Zunyu also let his doorman calculate. The final answer is almost the same, even if you have to give an extra 10% interest, you can still guarantee a profit of 1 and a half times.

"Only paid an extra 10% of the interest, the profit can still be guaranteed, and there is also the endorsement of the imperial court. The deal was well worth it. Han Gang smiled and handed the book to Wang Hou and asked him to read it. Wang Hou shook his head, he just went out to do business, and he had actually read this official document.

Wang Shao raised his hand and took back the edict, and smiled at Han Gang: "It's Yukun that you can think so thoroughly." ”

Han Gang bowed modestly and thanked Wang Shao for his approval.

Wang Shao felt that Han Gang was sometimes difficult to see. There are many cases of courage and decisiveness. But many times, he can do things like a decades-old official without leaving his hands and leaving no trouble. Zhang Zai will never be able to teach such a method of action and doing things, and the Han family and his wife will never be able to teach it, I really don't know where he got it.

And these proposals of Han Gang are also a model of multi-party benefits. Needless to say, the matter of Tuntian is not to be said, if the officials are given fields, the court will definitely not suffer, and the excuse given by Han Gang is actually a fact.

The court does not lose money when it comes to loans, and the relatives of officials come to borrow, and the court can get an extra 10% interest. As for the officials themselves, their interests can also be guaranteed.

"Four months at most! …… In fact, three months is enough, and the three months of July, August and September, are the period when caravans come and go the most, and the money earned in these three months alone is enough to eat for a year. And the field is opened next to the ancient Wei Village, just to occupy a good market, you can make money. ”

This is what Han Gang said when he discussed several suggestions with Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu that day, and Yuan Zong, a fake monk, expressed his support. can legally and reasonably grab the goods, Wang Shao will not be so high as to refuse.

The world is clear, and the people are skilled. Wang Shao felt that Han Gang deserved these eight words.

A few days later, news came from Longcheng County overnight that the new governor Guo Kui, and the angel Li Xian, were already in the county.

That night, he was sent out. Early the next morning, Li Shizhong finally came out of the backyard of the yamen, and took a group of civil and military officials from top to bottom of Qinzhou to ten miles away to greet Guo Kui and Li Xian.

As the scorching sun of late summer gradually rose into the sky, the welcome riders who had been sent out last night also returned one by one with news.

"Taiwei Guo and Li Yufu have already left."

"Taiwei Guo and Li Yufu have already left the city."

Guo ...... It's twenty miles away. ”

“…… Fifteen miles ......"

“…… Ten miles ......"

When the last rider returned, the sound of the carriage was clearly visible. In the distance, a gray-yellow dust head rose high, swept into the sky by a sudden gust of wind.

The yellow smoke gradually dissipated, and a long procession of carriages and horses appeared in front of the eyes of the officials of Qinzhou. Guo Kui and Guo Taiwei, who had been waiting for a long time in Qinzhou, finally arrived in Qinzhou.
