After the rain, the sun was blazing hotly overhead, and the weather was hot and humid. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Only the fresh breath after the rain, mixed with the freshness of the grass and the light fragrance of the lotus, refreshes people's hearts and spleens, and makes people forget the sultry weather for a while.

Xu Ping sat alone in the gazebo, holding the "Book of Tang" and reading it carefully.

Since you want to make a statement and leave your own footprints in this world, it is indispensable to familiarize yourself with the scriptures and history and read all the ancient books. Otherwise, when talking about things, you don't even know what others mean when they say a word, and you don't know what to do, and it won't become a joke for your fellow Shilin. It's like trying to convince others that they're going to listen to you.

The cicadas in the trees overhead chirped in their throats, one after another, tirelessly. "The cicada noise forest is quiet, and the birdsong mountain is more secluded." This kind of feeling depends on the mood, but Xu Ping doesn't have it now. Occasionally, when I retracted my thoughts from the book, I couldn't help but look up at the big tree, eager to catch these annoying cicadas one by one.

Panpan is a girl and is not interested in the game of catching cicadas. No matter how Xu Ping taught her, he couldn't let her put her mind on this. I think back then, when I was in Zhongmu, in the summer evening, I often carried a small shovel under the big trees around the village by myself, only looking at those small holes, and when I went down with a shovel, I was a monkey. This thing has been done a lot, Xu Ping's eyes are very sharp, and he looks at it at a glance, no matter how small the hole is, he knows whether it is an ant or a cicada inside. Sometimes Xiuxiu followed behind, amazed by Xu Ping's stunt.

Alas, there is no successor, this stunt is about to be lost, Xu Ping is full of helplessness. I just hope that in a few months, Lin Suniang will give birth to a boy and come out, so that she can inherit her own skills.

The sun climbed high, Xu Ping stood up, stretched, got up and went for a slow walk in the shade around the pavilion. Combining work and rest, Xu Ping didn't want to read a book and see something wrong.

The subordinate who guarded the door hurriedly came in and saluted Xu Parallel: "Junhou, Zheng Jian outside the door asked to see him, and the little one has already asked him to wait in the small flower hall." ”

Xu Ping looked at the scorching sun in the sky, he was really too lazy to walk to the small flower hall again, and said to his subordinates: "You go and let him come to the pavilion in the back garden, if you are not an outsider, I won't go to the living room to meet guests." ”

The servant agreed, turned around, and went.

Zheng Jian's subordinates are all acquaintances in the house, because they have to report to Xu Pingyu for instructions on official business, they come every once in a while. Now they don't need to post, and the gatekeepers in Xu Ping's Mansion know that they want to come in and spread the word from a distance.

Returning to the pavilion and sitting down, Xu Ping casually flipped through the "Book of Tang" in his hand.

Zheng Jian's visit this time is nothing more than because of those small shops in the field affairs of the third division. At this time, the Gouyuan was the audit department of later generations, and in Xu Ping's hands, the power was much greater than before. Zheng Jian already loves to do these things to catch people, and learned mathematical knowledge from Jia Xian's others, and now he has more ability to check accounts, and he is more energetic in doing it.

The system of those small shops in the field affairs of the three divisions is borrowed from the consumer cooperatives of Xu Ping's previous life, and the officials supervise the private offices, and the powers and responsibilities of the officials and supervisors are placed in the Gouyuan. It is mainly the inventory of accounts, not the guidance of business, and the audit is appropriate.

The name of the consumer cooperative is nondescript, and Zheng Jian gave it a name, called Yishe. In his eyes, this system is somewhat similar to the previous Yitian Yizhuang, what is a cooperative?

Zheng Jian's temperament, the more severe and mean he is to the wealthy and powerful, and the more he is to the people of the lower classes, the more kind and generous he is. This kind of person, some people are called cool officials, and some people are called capable ministers, just depending on their position. In Xu Ping's heart, he hoped that there would be more cool officials under him.

After a while, Zheng Jian didn't need Xu Fu's subordinates to lead the way, and came to the pavilion alone.

After seeing the ceremony, Xu Ping asked Zheng Jian to sit down and said to him: "It's hot in the world, and I won't invite you to tea." There were melons and fruits soaked in the well water, and they talked about things and ate them to quench their thirst. ”

Zheng Jian thanked him, sat down, put a book in his hand on the stone table next to him, and then said: "Deputy envoy, the Zhengzhang Political Affairs Hall that I went up two days ago has been approved, and my subordinates have all handed it over." ”

"Good. Everything is difficult at the beginning, there are always many unexpected messes at the beginning, you have to pay more attention. ”

"The subordinates understand. It's just that the list we attached to it together is the people who used to make improper profits from the field shop, but there is no follow-up. Whether to play another piece of music, the subordinates can't make up their minds. ”

Looking at Zheng Jian, Xu Ping smiled: "Tianxiu, when I attached the list to the back of the chapter, I knew that there would be no results later, you should know it in your heart." Why are you still obsessed with it? ”

Zheng Jian was silent for a while before he said, "I'm always a little unwilling!" ”

"As an official, where can everything go well? In the world, there must always be a trade-off, to take the righteousness, and to give up the stubble, it can only be like this, isn't it? Let me ask you, if the system is set, how many people will benefit? And if you insist on dealing with those people, things will definitely not go so smoothly, so what's the matter? ”

"I understand, what the deputy envoy said. It's just that in my heart, there is always a sense of gas that can't be smoothed. ”

Xu Ping smiled: "Okay, if the qi is not smooth, then you can only practice self-cultivation and self-cultivation." Recently, the weather has been hot, and the watermelon is a little sweeter than the other day, so take a big one, and we will slowly eat it and talk. ”

Zheng Jian got up, went to the big wooden barrel on the side, picked up a big watermelon and brought one. Xu Ping took the knife, and on the stone table in the pavilion, cut it into a crescent shape like a flower arrangement, and held it in his hand with Zheng Jian.

After eating the melon, I cleaned my hands in the basin of water on the side, dried the towel, and sat down again.

Zheng Jian picked up the book he had placed on the stone table and handed it to Xu Ping with both hands: "Deputy Envoy, this is the latest book of money law, newly printed and brought to you for your review." ”

Xu Ping took the book and was a little strange: "Didn't you already make up your mind about this matter?" It's all picked up with Di Bao on the day, why did you bring it here today? ”

Zheng Jian shook his head: "On this new book, there is an article by Ouyang Xiu "On the Goods of the Three Divisions", which is really a little disrespectful to the deputy envoy. He sent it before it was printed, and he didn't have time to let the deputy envoy see it first. The three of us discussed, so we had to print it for him first. Ouyang Xiu's person, the deputy envoy also knew, was the most arrogant and untamed, refuted him, and didn't know what was going on. It's better to print it for him first, and then calmly refute it. ”

At the mention of Ouyang Xiu, Xu Ping knew in his heart that there was no good thing. This guy has eyes above the top, comments on things widely and magnificently, and speaks of people, he has always been mean. One is because of the ideological conflict, and the other is because of Xu Ping's identity, Li Yonghe's relationship is suspected of being a close minister, and his promotion is too fast, so he looks down on him a little. Since Ouyang Xiu first arrived in the capital and asked Xu Ping to help the collection of Indian and Korean Yu anthologies, he contradicted Xu Ping several times.

This is a famous figure in Xu Ping's previous life, and there is no one who has gone to school who doesn't know him, why he has been dealing with him, which makes Xu Ping very puzzled. Later, I learned about Ouyang Xiu's life, and I roughly understood it.

Ouyang Xiu's character is influenced by his family.

From Ouyang Xiu's father to his uncle and uncle, most of them have this kind of strange temper, Ouyang Xiu has the same kind of behavior, it is not strange. Ouyang Xiu's father Ouyang Guan died when he was four years old, and he followed his mother to take refuge in his uncle Ouyang Ye's house, Ouyang Ye raised him and educated him, which had a great influence on him.

Ouyang Ye's generation had a three-jinshi family in the same year, and later Ouyang Xiu often boasted that his family was a big family in Luling, just nostalgic for this kind of glory. In fact, these three jinshi were not very important officials during their lifetimes, and they were all sealed by Ouyang Xiu's light after they passed away. Although the officials are not big, the shelves are not small, and they all dare to contradict their bosses, and they will be proud of being retaliated against, which has become the family style of the Ouyang family. Take Ouyang Ye as an example, he refused to use his power for his boss Chen Yao, and was later excluded and had no regrets for life. His father, Ouyang Guan, was even a small pusher, and he insisted on not giving face to the transfer.

Ouyang Xiu grew up in this environment and was taught to be such a person since he was a child. In addition, he was four years old and lonely, and he tasted the warmth and coldness of life, and when he became famous as a teenager, he was inevitably conceited and bitter.

Another influence on Ouyang Xiu was his ideological mentors Mencius and Han Yu.

Han Yu not only profoundly influenced Ouyang Xiu's literary style, but also continued Mencius's Taoism with his own efforts, but also made Ouyang Xiu yearn for it and regarded him as an idol. And Mencius is good at eloquence, speaking of truth is unbridled, sometimes he is also mean, Ouyang Xiu's set was also learned from the former sages.

Ouyang Xiu, a young man, thought about it, it was not easy.

But understanding is understanding, knowing that he is not easy to know, Xu Ping will not let him kick his nose and face here. It's endless, again and again, is it still addictive?

Ouyang Xiu's cousin, Ouyang Ying, got acquainted with Ding Wei when he was young, and he had a very good relationship, and he was also recommended by Ding Wei for promotion. But after Ding Wei really had power in the world, he broke off contact, and later Ding Wei fell, but he was not implicated. Ouyang Xiu meant this, and he really regarded himself as Ding.

opened the "Money Law Book" and read Ouyang Xiu's "On the Three Divisions of Goods Coupons", and after reading it from the beginning, the corners of Xu Ping's mouth couldn't help but smile. Zheng Jian watched from the side, confused for a while, and didn't know what Xu Ping meant.

Social existence determines social consciousness, and new things always give birth to new ideas, and this is where it comes.

Since the three divisions issued shopping coupons, due to Xu Ping's strict management, the shopping coupons have appreciated all the way, and now they are equivalent to real money. Many of the large transactions in the capital use shopping coupons instead of cash and gold and silver, and the value is higher than the value of the coupons. Even some wealthy families, because the shopping vouchers do not depreciate, are still stored at home.

Based on this, Ouyang Xiu proposed that the shopping coupon is actually equivalent to real money. How much does it cost to print a shopping voucher? How much does it cost to mint money? It is wise to use shopping vouchers instead of cash to save the annual cost of minting money.

It was a lot of effort, and the court made countless profits, but no one brought it up for so long. The last sentence is quite in Ouyang Xiu's style, "The one who is in charge of the matter is not wise!" ”

After reading it, Xu Ping closed the book and said to Zheng Jian: "It just so happened that today's pavilion bachelor gathered in my outer garden for a banquet, and Ouyang Xiu happened to be among them. I called him in and asked him face to face what was wrong with it. Hahaha! ”

Discussing this issue with himself, Ouyang Xiu leaned his face over and let him kick it, how could he let him down? (To be continued.) )
