The shock is remarkable.

After hearing this, the surrounding officials were like hearing Zheng Lang say that I will go tomorrow to collect the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun without a single soldier.

Zhang Xia recalled that Zheng Lang talked to him along the way, he was still very modest, and he was really humble!

Zheng Lang solemnly said again: "Fathers and fellow villagers, you don't have to worry, although it is a promise I made to Your Majesty, I will not impose these taxes on you or your merchants. That's not my purpose of life, even if the court collects taxes, it is taken from the people and used for the people. However, it is also difficult, and I need your help. ”

No one takes his words seriously, and if you peel off the skin of all the merchants, and drink the blood lipids of all the people, you will not be able to collect five or six times the income.

After Zheng Lang finished speaking, he took a look at the crowd, saw Shi Congguang, walked over, and said, "It's settled." ”

"Zheng Fuyin, I bought a courtyard at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, but the money is a bit much, and it cost more than 1,500 yuan." Shi Congguang replied ashamedly.

"It's not expensive, this is Hangzhou." Zheng Lang said, and then said to the officials: "It's getting late, we have to go back, and we will talk about something tomorrow." ”

Automatically there was a servant to separate the crowd and let him go back.

It's also a sign of respect for miracles.

If it weren't for the miracle in Taiping Prefecture, Zheng Lang would have dared to say this sentence today, and he would definitely be regarded as a psychopath by everyone.

And Taiping Prefecture has faintly become a place of legends. Even some government officials are exempt from military service like Taiping Prefecture, and the rich people do not want to pay for this government service, and the poor people still count on some subsidies. If people don't do it for themselves, they will be destroyed by heaven and earth, but in fact, if they are used well, they can also accomplish many things.

There are many people, most of whom also believe that they are not capable of thinking that far. Since it can be conjured into a miracle in Taipingzhou, Hangzhou is dozens of times better than Taipingzhou, why can't it be conjured. Very excited to leave.

But the officials continue to petrify.

Although Shi Congguang spent some money, the location of the house he bought was excellent, the northwest direction is the Wulin Gate, close to the foot of the Phoenix Mountain, three in and three out of the courtyard, and there is a garden, the garden is stacked with some Taihu Lake stones, carrying all kinds of trees and flowers, and a few tall osmanthus flowers are on par with the railing on the second floor. Before the flowers bloomed, golden millet grains burst out among the lush leaves.

There are two ancient wells, the stone moss is thick, and the ancient meaning is proud.

On the side is the Phoenix Mountain, look up, from the green trees on the mountain can vaguely see some pavilions and temples on the mountain, pieces of yellow glazed tiles bloom in the sun with golden light.

There was another small mountain stream from the mountain, and the clear water splashed on the outside of the house, so the original owner led a part into the house, and opened a small pond with some golden carp and a few sparse lotus bushes.

After pacing a few steps and looking back and forth, Zheng Lang said, "It's really not expensive." ”

Wang Anshi tugged at Zheng Lang's clothes.

Zheng Lang understood and walked into the house with Wang Anshi and Yan Rong.

Si'er, Huan'er, and Zhu'er were cleaning up the house, and when they saw Zheng Lang coming in, they hurriedly wiped the tables and chairs.

The three of them sat down, and Wang Anshi told the story of this trip.

Hangzhou is very good, even along the Grand Canal all the way is very good, from the geographical point of view, Hangzhou has the Grand Canal, as well as to Yuezhou and Mingzhou Wuyue Canal, there is Qiantang River shipping outside, and there is a huge Zhejiang and to Huzhou Huantang River benefits. Coupled with the flat terrain, it quickly replaced Yuezhou as the southeast center.

But only Hangzhou, and the flat ones are only the three counties of Renhe, Qiantang and Yanguan near Hangzhou. From Yuhang Fuyang to the west, Lin'an, Xincheng, Yuqian, Changhua, mostly mountainous terrain, just like Fujian, is eight mountains, one water and one field.

"Go on," Zheng Lang nodded, in fact, the entire two Zhejiang provinces are also seven mountains, one water and two fields, the so-called wealth is in the southeast, not referring to the west and south of Zhejiang, which is different from later generations, and the local advantages along the coast have not been brought into play. Southeast Fu is from Jiangning, all the way to the Taihu Lake Basin, on both sides of the Qiantang River. Inside, it's bad.

Therefore, like Fujian, there are problems of difficulty in arable land and water acquisition.

However, the common people give full play to the wisdom of the southerners, or the four sons say that they are slippery, and the private and government governments are more prosperous Pitang and Yundou dam reservoirs, which are used for irrigation, with a large population and little arable land, so they are intensively cultivated, and the high yield and intensive cultivation degree are the first in the country.

It was forced to do so.

There are also more bad sides, especially the encroachment of Haoqiang, such as the enclosure of the field and the encroachment of the place where there is a water source, or the encirclement of the lake into a field, which was developed very early, but the area is small, and it is not as noticeable as Jingminwei.

As a result, when June came, the poor people looked at the sun and sighed, and there was no water to irrigate. But it is not like Taipingzhou, it is the water system of Maoshan and Huangshan, the water flows down, it is very stable, only Huangmei is the flood season. And the east of Zhejiang is different, here is Tianmu Mountain, Xianxialing water system, close to the sea, the flood season is short, the water flow is large, the water system is developed, one to autumn, the rainstorm days are many, the mountain torrent comes down, and the strong and strong many obstruct the rivers and lakes, the water can not be discharged, and thousands of households of cultivated land are flooded in one fell swoop. That is, what the officials of the Song Dynasty called Qiuluan.

There are also officials who stop and forcibly dismantle the siege, but they are resisted by large households, and some large families even pull knives at each other.

It has nothing to do with rebellion, this is the edict of Taizu, Taizong and Zhenzong, let us open up the wasteland, and the wasteland will be returned to the landowner.

After Zhao Zhen's edict was issued, it could be used as a piece of evidence, but it was said that it was Taizu, Taizong and Zhenzong, or the current emperor, of course, the first three, so why did you threaten us with the emperor's edict!

Zheng Lang smiled bitterly, the Song Dynasty's pro-people policy cannot be said to be bad, but the threat to the people is too weak, especially Haoqiang. Moreover, the decree of the Qin Dynasty also reduced its prestige, and the more the edict was changed in the future, the weaker the prestige.

This is the case in the six counties to the west.

The three counties in the east are not necessarily very good, there are the harm of the Qiantang River and Zhejiang, which often floods, not only waterlogging, but also tidal disasters, and the harm of the West Lake near Hangzhou City. Salt Officer...... Salt also has salt damage.

"Say, I'm from the salt works."

"Oh," Wang Anshi replied worriedly.

Like the tea field, the imperial court is kind, first lent to the pavilion households, gave the salt households oxen ploughs and salt boiling tools, there is only one condition, these tools and oxen are not for you to cultivate, specifically for the court to plow salt mud. But the pavilion households themselves are unconscious, and often secretly farm.

In this regard, the imperial court showed the side of the surname, turning a blind eye.

And give you a salt field to cook salt.

This is paid by the imperial court, then there must be a return, one is the salt tax, the pavilion generally pays 30 to 35 stone of salt every year, one stone of flat salt is 50 catties, and the salt is 150 catties. The rest must be sold to the state, and even for the sake of people's livelihood, a task has been formulated, and after the task is completed, the extra boiled salt is floating salt, also known as flat salt, and the purchase price is higher.

It's more humanized.

But the truth is, no! First of all, the purchase price is too low, and the government only saves 500 yuan per stone for the price of salt (because the money is insufficient, a piece of money is less than 1,000 yuan, and most of them are 7 or 800 yuan of real money, which is called saving money), and a pound of salt is only 2.5 yuan. After arriving at the Heavenly Sage, it was added, and the bonus was six hundred wen, which was only three cents.

But it was also good, it was better than scraping with a small knife later, and at this time it was ploughed with a plow, and the salt soil was thick and the salt yield was large.

But there is no hurry, there are two taxes, the two taxes are replaced by salt, the two taxes are coming, the miscellaneous taxes are also coming, and all the messy miscellaneous taxes have to be collected. Then the oxen and the plough had to collect money again, and the price of goods rose, and the price of firewood and grass remained high and became more and more expensive, while the price of salt did not move. As well as the exploitation of the pavilion households by the pavilion households' own people, some of the large pavilion households did not cook the salt works, lived in the near field supervision, borrowed money and made profits, hid their land property (concealed the number of acres of salt fields they occupied), and harmed the gangsters (the common people who compiled the household register). Whoever has nothing to do, when there is something to borrow, rely on it.

Not only that, the Song Dynasty gradually relaxed the people in all aspects, such as giving the people the right to move freely, and even organizing the displaced people into the box army to give them a way to live. But because of the violence of salt profits, the salt people are very strict, one is not allowed to join the army, the person who surrenders is to return to his own business, the rod is eighty, the second forbidden pavilion household to flee the field, and move to other fields Even if the salt is boiled, it must be brought back, continue to have a rod of eighty, and the three forbidden pavilions are allowed to change their business, and they are only allowed to boil salt to make a living. Serfs after all! It is even more retrogressive than the Tang Dynasty's closed-door policy.

So Wang Anshi was worried.

The teacher is very civilian, and pays special attention to the common people, once he sees this situation, what will he do?

But another problem is smuggling, in Hangzhou alone, the purchase of a pound of salt from a salt account is three wen, and the price in this state is twenty-six wen! Even the travel expenses are saved, and if you change your hand, ninety percent of the profits will be in hand. Some smugglers even dare to hunt and kill the officials who inspect the government, and they are the people who sell salt.

There are also many strange places, such as Qianzhou (Ganzhou) is close to Guangnan, and it is more according to the old system and sells Huai salt. Think about how far it is to get from Liangzhun Road to Qianzhou. As a result, it became the most serious area of the Song Dynasty's illegal salt phenomenon.

Not only salt, but also wine, the wine situation is a little better, but there are also many bad places, many heroes forcibly make wine privately, including some officials with backstage in the imperial court, and many of them open private wineries in Huxiu, Hangyue, and several states.

As for the benefits of tea alum, according to Wang Anshi's intentions, it is better to commercialize all the surnames Suo, what do you want them to do? The tea farmers and alum farmers were forced to work very hard, and the imperial court did not get any benefits, such as the more than 200,000 yuan and more than 100,000 yuan in previous years. The imperial court really cares about these 400,000 yuan!

After commercialization, the loss is the interest of the big family, so what does it have to do with the imperial court? Small and medium-sized merchants and ordinary people are better off, and once commercialized, the imperial court will not rely on commercial taxes alone to earn less than the original income.

This refers to the accumulation of disadvantages formed at the moment, including salt at the beginning, the intentions of the imperial court were good, and after the implementation of the tea monopoly, many new tea varieties were developed, which is the power of the state apparatus, or alum, and the same. But then he did not respond in time, and the court did not benefit from it, but became a tool for the magnates to prey on the people.

But the problem is not limited to this, there are others, such as temples.

It is not as serious as Fujian, but it is also very serious. Not only did it obstruct its water conservancy, but even the West Lake was encroached upon. Some temples also have a deep background, such as Hangzhou Dongxiao Palace, Song Zhenzong personally gave 15 hectares of good land, Empress Dowager Li was born in Hangzhou, and Zhao Zhen gave Lingyin Temple 15 hectares of Zhuang to pray for blessings. Which one dares to move this temple?

As for encroaching on fields, rivers and lakes, seizing people's land, lending usury, and hiding their households, there are all kinds of cases.

After finishing speaking, Wang Anshi said: "Doctor Zheng, it's difficult, unless Doctor Zheng really has the ability to turn over the river and the sea, and move all the mountains in Fuyang and other counties." ”

Zheng Lang squirted out a mouthful of tea and said, "I still move a big mountain, say a small mountain, the bottom is 100 zhang, the height is less than 30 zhang, is it big?" ”

That is, the circumference of the foothills is about 300 meters and the height is 90 meters, and such a peak is considered a very small peak. Wang Anshi said: "It's not big. ”

"But do you know how many stone squares it will have? Nearly a million stones, with a carrying capacity of more than 10,000 stones, the largest river boat needs more than 3,000 boats, what do you say I have the ability to move mountains and seas? ”

said that Sun Wukong's golden hoop stick, just such a small mountain, may weigh 50,000 golden hoop sticks.

Wang Anshi was also happy.

Zheng Lang said again: "You don't have to worry, I have made mental preparations for this, most of them are fine-tuning, and the focus is not on it." Some of them are relatively easy to govern, the difficult thing is whether I can maintain it after I leave office, and the difficult thing is that the problem in one state is not big, and how to solve it in the military supervision of more than 300 state capitals in the country? ”

Mentioning this, Wang Anshi complained: "Doctor Zheng, you can't say that." ”

"What can't be said."

"It's five or six times."

"It's five or six times, not to mention that I also made a promise to Your Majesty, or five or six times, what's the difference? At the moment, no one else knows, and it is probably His Majesty who has kept my secret for me and relieved my pressure. This is Your Majesty's kindness, but you can't slack off Your Majesty, let alone talk to Your Majesty. I took the initiative to expose the truth, and I would protect some of my own initiatives. ”

Don't say you don't know, you are shocked when you say it, just five or six times this, who dares to stop yourself from doing something changeable?

"It's not right, it's not right," the voice came from outside.

Just now, Sima Guang and Lu Gongyi walked in with two beautiful little daughters-in-law.

The two little daughters-in-law also sang a fat song sweetly: "I've seen Dr. Zheng." ”

"Sit." Zheng Lang said.

The four of them sat down, and Zheng Lang asked, "Sima Sanlang, what's wrong?" ”

Several new recruits are assigned to the county governors. But through the distribution, you can see the power of the powerful, Sima Guang ranked high, but he was assigned to Yu Qian, Lu Gongzhi was assigned to Yuhang, Lu Gongbi and Han Jiang because they had a period of resume, one in Qiantang and the other in Renhe, like two ghosts knocking on the door, guarding Hangzhou. Fan Zhen arrived in Lin'an, Su Shunqin went to Xincheng, Cui Huanghe went to Changhua, Xue Lihe arrived in Yanguan, and only one Fuyang Zhixian was still the original Liu County Order.

This is also where Zheng Lang has a headache.

Almost all of them were replaced, regardless of their future experience, even if the wisdom made up for it, there were a few people with a lot of background, and they might not obey him, and the magistrate also had some autonomy.

I don't know why the imperial court arranged it this way, such an arrangement is undoubtedly adding chaos to chaos.

But whether it is Lu Gongzhu or Sima Guang, although they are in their own territory, it will not be easy to meet in the future.

It was easy to meet Han Jiang and Lu Gongbi, what were they doing when they saw them? In addition to business, what do you want to do with them?

Sima Guang said: "I don't know how Dr. Zheng managed to increase Hangzhou's income by five or six times, if he can't do it, it's a big laughing stock, if he does, it's not a miracle, it's a miracle." It will not be beneficial to Dr. Zheng in the future. ”

Even if the merit of the officials is governed, it must be stopped, the credit is too great, not only the generals, but also the civil servants and others will be jealous. Just do a little bit of it, and it will be difficult to move up the ladder. It can also be seen in the history books that it is often a minister like you who has made great contributions to death first, unless the Jin Dynasty goes south and relies on the support of Wang Xie and his family.

However, no matter Director Wang or Xie An, with that background, such merit and status, there are still many people who are secretly resisting.

What does Zheng Lang use to compare with Wang Dao Xie An.

Zheng Lang sighed and said, "Sima Sanlang, you have good intentions, but for the sake of the country and the people, why do you care too much about your status?" Besides, my surname is originally light, if it weren't for His Majesty's weight, I hate to be paid and idle at home, raise flowers, taste tea, play the piano, and practice calligraphy, that is the life I want to live the most. ”

After saying that, I was at a loss.

What have you done over the years? first studied hard to gain fame, and then he was busy with his family, and he couldn't rest in peace with his family. Can you really rely on your own strength to reverse the Song Dynasty?

Sima Guang didn't know what he was thinking, and said eagerly: "Doctor Zheng, the country and the society are still waiting for you, not for yourself, but for the country." ”

The teacher must be on top, only the teacher has this knowledge, the way of reconciliation, and the grace, to govern the country well, and others cannot. Now the teacher is young, but after more than ten years, the teacher is qualified enough to be the prime minister. Not only must he serve as the prime minister, but also serve as Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, Wang Dan, and Lu Mengzheng for more than ten years, so as to bring earth-shaking changes to the country.

It doesn't matter to you, if you don't go up or down, you can pound it in the east and govern it well, one state and one government, and one government in the west, it's still the same. But it has little effect on helping the country, and even encountering a bad official, who has spent several years of hard work to govern the political and general people, will be ruined in the hands of this official for a year or two.

If you want the country to be governed, you must sort it out from above, and that is where the source lies.

"You don't understand," Zheng Lang said. This time, the Hangzhou delegation, or Xiuzhou, Mingzhou and Mizhou, have the same surname, but the effect is not as good as Hangzhou. He also said: "My governance in Taiping Prefecture is not only a way of thinking, but also a model, all states and counties have this or that advantage, these advantages are difficult to see, it depends on whether there are officials who can dig it out." As long as it is excavated and the contradictions between the various households in the territory are properly adjusted, there will be great governance. This is an internal force that does not require an external cause. After all, it is not a faint king, His Majesty is benevolent, and although the court quarrels, there is no villain in the real sense. ”

"Whoa." Lu Gongzhu replied loudly.

Zheng Lang knew what he was thinking, smiled and said: "That's Taipingzhou, this is Hangzhou, with my ability, it is possible to more than double its income after three years of governance." ”

They all nodded.

It is also a very remarkable thing, Hangzhou's income has doubled, how much will it be?

"Thinking about it five or six times seems like a fool's dream. Actually, no, what you have seen before is that I tap into my internal potential and do not use external forces. ”

"No, Dr. Zheng, you've used ...... too"

"That's not it, I brought in some money from Jiangning, or the inside, the internal sucrose. This time it's really from the outside. Because the former method of governance is to look for potential from within, as long as the competent officials can learn from it and use it as a model. But when I came to Hangzhou, many of them could not be learned, only one way of thinking could be learned, and the others were difficult to imitate. "It's not pride, this time in Hangzhou, Zheng Lang has gone very far, far more than hundreds of generations.

"What's that method?" Lu Gong asked curiously.

"What is the method, there are some details I haven't thought about yet, after thinking about it, I will call you here in the name of the county magistrates to discuss together. I believe that a county magistrate will not make you embarrassed. ”

Sima Guang and Lu Gong laughed proudly, they have followed the teacher in the past few years, but they have learned some good things and are about to use them.

"So Sima Sanlang, although you are filial, I still let you come to the south, and learning in the past few years will be of great help to you in the future." Zheng Lang refers to another thing, Sima Chi is in Hezhong Mansion, Sima Guang is a little hesitant in his heart, he wants to stay filial to his father, after all, Sima Chi is also old, so Sima Guang once wanted to find an official position nearby.

In a dilemma, he asked Nie and scolded him, Lu Yijian sent his son to Hangzhou, Fan Zhongyan sent his son to Hangzhou, and Han Yi sent his son to Hangzhou. For what, political achievements.

Stupid, you are really unfilial if you stay.

On the other hand, we can also see the opinions of the officials in the capital and the north on Zheng Lang. There are all kinds of flavors, but I have to admit that at least in Taiping Prefecture, Zheng Lang created a rare miraculous political achievement in the Song Dynasty.

After coming to Hangzhou, Sima Guang took the initiative to tell Wang Anshi about it, and Wang Anshi also talked to Zheng Lang just now, and he was very much in favor of filial piety to Zheng Lang.

But Zheng Lang is still very worried about Sima Guang's thoughts, from the bottom of his bones, Sima Guang is still a little conservative, he can't be blamed, his background is destined for his thoughts. Wang Anshi is still very aggressive. After a few years of teaching, it was slightly better, and when Sima Guang thought about the problem, he could really consider the common people and the disasters caused by the inequality between the rich and the poor. When Wang Anshi considered the problem, he not only considered the common people, but also took into account the consideration of large households, if he did not accept it, he could not do anything, you didn't care about us, and his trust in the power of the government was declining. This is a good thing, the infinite belief in the power of the government is the source of Wang Anshi's confidence in forcibly changing the law, and it is also the reason why the change is extremely distorted.

It's okay to change the Fa, but you have to think about what the Fa in your hand will make the officials below become.

Zheng Lang was still not very relieved, so he continued to keep Sima Guang by his side for two or three years, and at that time, his thoughts stabilized, and then he went his own way, and it was not a big problem.

He also said: "I'm afraid we can only be together in Hangzhou for a few years." ”

"Why?"

"You think, in a few years, Wang Sanlang and Fan Dalang will also participate in the imperial examination, and with their ability, they will not fall behind. If you add Yan Xiaolang and Fan Erlang, I keep saying that I am against forming a party, but the seven of us seem to have become a small party. ”

A few people laughed.

Sima Guang and Wang Anshi still have some expectations, what kind of party to form and no need to form a party, everyone knows clearly in their hearts, once all seven people have political achievements, with mutual support, they can make a great cause for the country.

That's as simple as that.

Zheng Lang didn't discourage their enthusiasm and said, "It's just right, stay for dinner." ”

"Whoa."

Lu Gongzhu asked again: "Doctor Zheng, what should we do?" ”

They still remember that when Zhao Tongju left Taiping Prefecture, Zheng Lang used to be a guide.

"Remember the saying, haste is not enough. When I was in Taiping Prefecture, I was forced by the victims of the disaster to take a big step, and now I often regret it when I think about it. If you can't control it, it's dangerous to do it. ”

"Whoa."

In fact, it is just a sentence, step by step, plan and then act.

Zheng Lang's next sentence made them smile again, Zheng Lang said: "But no matter which county, with its back to this big port metropolis, don't say that the mountains are good for the mountains and the water is blessed, even the desert Gobi Desert will let it grow a flower." I'll walk around after the handover and I'll tell you. ”

While talking, Cui Xian walked in with Zheng Ping in her arms.

The meal was ready, it was Cui Xian's cooking, and a few sons said with a smile: "It's a blessing." ”

But because of the taboo, the little master couldn't say it.

Lu Gongzhi took Zheng Ping from Cui Xian's hand and said, "Call brother." ”

Zheng Ping was not afraid, and looked at this "strange big brother" with a pair of big black eyes. But Zheng Lang had a black line on his forehead, how did he describe this generation? If it weren't for Fan Zhongyan, he was the leading big brother of all the gentlemen's parties, how old is Lu Yijian this year.

But they were gathered together again, and their hearts welled up with great joy.

Just then, another guest arrived.

Fubi.

He has made a general judgment in several states, and he is familiar with it when he serves as a general judge again.

At this point, however, he was worried.

Instead of a few new scholars, they are only the magistrates of the counties, and he is the general judge, responsible for supervising and assisting the entire affairs of Hangzhou. But Zheng Lang suddenly came up with this ridiculous promise, how can it be done. The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became, and I also inquired about the Zheng family and visited the Zheng family.

Fu Bi met Zheng Lang once at the Poetry Society, but Zheng Lang and Fu Bi rarely had a handover.

But Zheng Lang is not very bad for him, if he says a gentleman, this person can barely be regarded as a gentleman, as for others, he will never take it seriously. You are gentlemen, and I am still a saint.

He smiled and asked, "Why did the rich brother come so late?" ”

"Your ......"

"Rich brother, don't worry, I'm afraid this matter is not something you can interfere in for the time being." Zheng Lang suddenly hesitated for a moment and asked, "Brother Fu, let me make an analogy, if I defeated 10,000 Khitans at the cost of 200 soldiers, and sacrificed the lives of 200 soldiers, is it worth it?" ”

"Where's that? You can't ...... at this time."

"I know that it is unwise to go to war with the Khitans for the time being, it is just a metaphor. Or to put it explicitly, if I do one thing in the future, it will increase the income of the imperial court by six or seven million, or even seven or eight million yuan a year, so that tens of thousands of people will not be separated because of poverty, and they will not strangle their newborn children to death because of poverty, and the price paid may be the death of dozens or hundreds of people a year, do you say it is worth it or not? ”

"You said it was the opening of the sea...... Fu Bi hesitated.

This is a peaceful and prosperous era, thinking that hundreds of people will die in Hangzhou a year, and they can only go to sea.

He shook his head again and said, "It's not appropriate." ”

If it's not right, it's not going to be profitable at all.

Wang Anshi also said: "It just so happens that I have something to report to the doctor." ”

"Say."

"I've done some research, but it's because I don't have any money."

According to the remarks of some scholars, it is a phenomenon of economic level, that is, the economy will inevitably flow from rich countries to poor countries, just like water, it will inevitably flow from high to low.

Not necessarily!

Globalization can't do that. Another example is that in the Qing Dynasty, foreigners opened the door to China to do business, and the result was that the more they did it, the bigger the trade deficit became, and the opium was used to make up for the deficit. So in the end, he tore open his true face and directly demanded that the Qing Dynasty pay money and cede land.

Moreover, the Song Dynasty.

This matter has been mentioned many times, Wang Yan's second son came to Hangzhou, asked a few times, there are overseas fans, the number is small, not as good as Guangzhou and Quanzhou two ports, but there are some Japanese and Goryeo. But no matter what country people are, the principle is the same. The results of the investigation surprised the two sons, these small overseas countries lacked gold, silver and copper, and some of them were hundreds of years ago, and the big cannibals began to attach importance to commerce and trade, and the gold and silver that were captured over the years were not much, let alone copper. Even if there is copper, it will not be cast.

No matter how exquisite the goods of the Song Dynasty were, how to buy them without money?

Moreover, seeing that the Song money is exquisite, many countries have regarded it as a national treasure and a weapon to stabilize the economy, and encouraged the Song people to bring copper coins over. As a result, the Song Dynasty repeatedly banned it, and some merchants used small boats to load copper coins, sail to large ships anchored in the sea, and go down to the South China Sea to trade.

The Khitan is also, as the descendants think, as soon as the field is opened, with the exquisite utensils of the Song Dynasty, just for trade, you can casually earn back the annual tribute. But what about money, if there is no money, how to make money, the Khitan Buddha statue is still short of copper, how to use copper to trade. The worst thing is that Wang Anshi changed the law in history, in order to earn the commercial tax generated by the transaction, he let go of the transaction, and as a result, the copper money rolled to the Khitan like the Qiantang River burst last year and the river water rolled.

That's the key to asking questions.

"I already knew," Zheng Lang said lightly, and then showed an expression that couldn't cry or laugh, the answer was so simple, I thought about it for a long time, and complained that the imperial court didn't trade with the Khitan, and it was very likely that future generations would also have countless misunderstandings and misinterpretations, thinking that they would get rich as soon as the sea was opened, but what about money. He added: "This is the most difficult part for me this time, and it can be solved." Rich brother, would you like to help me? ”

Fu Bi didn't dare to answer. But I thought in my heart, Hugh said that if you don't have money, you have money, and you don't have the ability to earn back so much in a year, it is an increase in taxes for the imperial court, so the real profit will increase more than ten times, which country has so much wealth for you to earn? In fact, I still don't understand, the problem is the lack of money, otherwise the chain reaction caused by the large-scale transaction is not only the tax generated by the maritime transaction, but the tax driven by it is not too much.

As long as it is done, what is the death of dozens of people?

But he is not evil in his heart, how can this be said?

Zheng Lang continued to ponder, and suddenly said, "Something is not good. ”

Whether it's good or not, I don't know how he conjured up this big magic trick, Fu Bi still couldn't help but ask, "What's bad?" ”

"There is a lack of a person in charge."

"The man in charge?" Fu Bi is confused, he lacks everything, will there be a shortage of talents?

"This person must be talented, flexible, loyal to His Majesty and the country, not afraid of death, ruthless, must have a certain experience and social ability, must be able to coax and deceive people, can be soft and hard, can be shameless and shameless, the current status is not too high, and he must be able to endure hardships......"

Where to find it?

Xia Zhu is not good, he is not loyal enough to the country, and he is afraid of death.

Fu Bi was even more dazed, and muttered: "Sure enough, it's a talent......

Five or six times more absurd, unique talent.

Zheng Lang became anxious, no matter how difficult it is to find, this person must be found in order to lead the whole program, this is the most critical east wind!

I haven't paid attention to this matter before, only thinking about the process, but I neglected this key factor, now think about it, what kind of talent does Zhao Zhenchao have, but there is no one who meets this talent, and he can't even think of a person who makes up for it, and he can't open a golden finger!
