Zhang Dexiang took the fold and glanced at Zhang Shixun meaningfully.

Zhao Zhenchao is a star, Zhang Dexiang is not the brightest star among them, but his surname is better than Zhang Shixun.

Since several old ministers let Han Qi step down, Zhang Dexiang led the Eastern Mansion, and later Zhang Shixun came to power, regardless of prestige and qualifications, and gradually excluded Zhang Dexiang.

Zhang Dexiang has a good surname, and there is always a little unhappiness in his heart.

Just now Zhang Shixun said that Zheng Lang's fallacies confused the public and destroyed the legal system of the ancestors, and Yuan Hao did not invade the northwest, so Zhang Shixun succeeded.

But Yuan Hao invaded the northwest, and Zhang Shixun had no way to continue.

Zhang Dexiang still has a small legacy in his heart, and the fold was not reported to Zhao Zhen, otherwise Zhang Shixun would have died this time. What a big hat to bewitch the public. Guan Jian Zheng Lang's so-called gossip and demonic deeds, and then wrote out the experience, so that Fu Bi reported to the emperor and the prime ministers, and the people discussed, and the prime ministers knew the process very well in their hearts.

At most, an alarmist remark, how can it be a lie.

From the perspective of personal feelings, Zhang Dexiang is also biased towards Zheng Lang. The Jinshi of the Song Dynasty were all protégés of the Son of Heaven, but Zheng Lang's chief examiner of the provincial examination was Zhang Dexiang, if it was in the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Lang was Zhang Dexiang's protégé, not in the Song Dynasty, more or less related.

I don't know much about military affairs, and last year's decision-making on the side of affairs has nothing to do with Zhang Dexiang, Zheng Lang doesn't like to make friends with Zheng Lang on the surname, and Zhang Dexiang doesn't like to make friends, they are all arrogant people. Therefore, Zheng Lang angrily reprimanded the prime ministers, and Zhang Dexiang did not have the slightest disgust in his heart.

He is arrogant and upright, and since Kong Daofu was angry to death last year, Zhang Dexiang began to have serious dissatisfaction with Zhang Shixun.

Zhang Shixun just said this sentence, and the arrival of the northwest emergency came later, which was undoubtedly a slap on Zhang Shixun's old face.

The spring breeze blows, there is no floral fragrance, but the warm and soft breath is like a girl's skin, fresh and moving.

Zhang Dexiang calmed down his mind and opened the fold, which was written by Fan Yong.

As luck would have it, Fan Yong kept Yanzhou, but he was not very clear about the battle at Sanchuankou, and only wrote a rough outline, Jinmingzhai was lost, and Liu Ping and his army were annihilated.

Here, the trend of history has changed, Li Shibin encountered an accident in Huangdui Village, and knew that he could not be spared, so he asked his henchman Chidou to use a bead belt as a symbol and fled Yanzhou with his mother and wife. After the mother and wife received the bead belt, they left Jinming Village with the main horse of the Red Bean Army, this escape is not a miracle, Yuan Hao's army is fighting with Li Shibin in Huangdui Village, and the mother and wife have enough time to escape. Or Mu Guiying in the romance, or Yang Wenguang's wife Mu Rongshi, or Liu Huaizhong's wife Huang Xianyan is here, and he can have time to integrate the army, and maybe he can do miraculous feats. If the wife of the Tang Dynasty general Li Jinxing is here, he may be able to defeat Yuan Hao and avenge his husband.

The requirements are too strict, Li Shibin's wife and mother are just ordinary people, and after coming to Yanzhou, they can't say it clearly, so that Fan Yong continued to doubt, and his first reaction was not to resist the enemy, but to serve the enemy. As a result, the spies were sent out, but there was no return. Yan Yan took the horse to bear Xue Wenzhong's desire to play the imperial court, but was also stopped by Fan Yong.

The reason is very simple, without knowing the truth and truth, he has seen Zheng Lang's twists and turns transferred by the imperial court, and Fan Yong is seriously derelict in his duties.

History changed, but it did not make the war worse, even if the imperial court learned the news, it was still the army around Yanzhou to assist Yanzhou, which did not alleviate the deteriorating situation in Yanzhou. Yuan Hao withdrew his troops, but Fan Yong was even more embarrassed, so that this twist and turn arrived in the capital a day late.

Zhang Dexiang quickly read it and handed the report to Zhang Shixun.

Zhang Shixun also finished reading it immediately, his face was gloomy as if the sky before a storm.

Zhang Dexiang thought in his heart that the temple was about to be shuffled again, and he didn't know what the Zheng family would do when he heard the news.

Even he calculated in his heart that Zheng Lang made proper use of this opportunity to make all the bigwigs in charge of military affairs in the northwest in the east and west resign, and the sensational effect was greater than Han Qi's admonition the year before last.

……

Zheng Lang had nothing to do at the inn, either supervising Yan Rong's reading or meditating.

People are constantly growing, although there are many later knowledge in their minds, but that is knowledge, it is the understanding of others, not Zheng Lang's perception, even the meanness he wrote himself, at this time Zheng Lang also wants to overturn it and write it again.

The righteousness I thought about was different from last year.

I want to write but don't know where to start. Starting from the Zhao Zhen Dynasty and continuing to the Song Dynasty, the Shenzong Dynasty was the worst era, but also the best era. What is most needed is not technology, but a progressive mindset. No matter how good the science and technology is, the conservative internal governance system of the Song Dynasty is destined to be insulted by foreign countries. There were no party members, there were also Khitans, Jurchens, and Mongols.

Overthrow the ancestral legal system of the Song Dynasty?

Zheng Lang's head grew when he thought of this question.

There is another point that Zheng Lang has not been able to analyze clearly. Zhao Zhenchao was insulted by foreign countries, and increased the annual tribute to the Khitan and increased the annual tribute to the Western Xia, but the country and the people were safe, and the Song Dynasty did not. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a gentleman, and the Xiongnu almost let him lie down, but the people were not happy. The only time when the external and internal governance were extremely strong was when Li Shimin was chaste. However, the two expeditions to Goryeo also made the country appear tired.

If this question is not clear, there is no way to write down his benevolence and righteousness.

I was reading under the window, taking advantage of the soft east wind outside, and a crisp woman's voice came from outside.

Zheng Lang came out in surprise and asked, "Xing'er, Si'er, why did you come back so soon?" ”

"Niangniang said that Xian'er's mother's home is far away, and you are alone in the capital and no one takes care of you, so let's come back first."

"The way you are, do you take care of me, or do I take care of you?"

"Official, what about me?" Si'er said.

Zheng Lang is happy, although the two silly girls are not as good as Cui Xian's help to themselves, they are the most pure in their own thoughts. Then looking at them, Si'er was wearing a floral robe inlaid with lotus patterns, very well-behaved, and Xing'er was wearing a soap-colored dress, and her pretty face was filled with the brilliance of her mother's surname.

Where the two women stood, the spring breeze swayed their skirts, like two lovely green willows swinging, beautiful and moving.

greeted him and asked in a low voice, "Have you thought about me these days?" ”

Xing'er said shyly, "Someone." ”

The two guards were unloading their luggage, but they didn't dare to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Zheng Lang suddenly thought of something and said, "It is very likely that I will return to Hangzhou later." ”

"What then?" Apricot asked eagerly.

Now Jiang Xinger is six months pregnant, and she is still moving. Zheng Lang also encouraged her to do small activities, but at this time, her understanding of medicine was still insufficient, and she thought that she could not exercise when she was pregnant, for fear of hurting the fetal gas. This is not right, the more inactive, the worse it is for the fetus. Therefore, most women from wealthy families will be in danger of giving birth, and even if they give birth to children, the children are prone to death. Therefore, when Cui Xian and Jiang Xinger were pregnant, Zheng Lang persuaded them to do some small activities, provided that they did not fall down.

But if the time drags on a little longer, Zheng Lang will not dare to let them move, there will be an accident. Moreover, it is a trek of nearly 2,000 miles.

"Maybe not necessarily, if you really want to do that, you just go back to Zhengzhou, wait for the confinement, and go down to Jiangnan with a few mothers?"

"Good...... Yes. Jiang Xing'er was a little reluctant, but for the sake of the child, she didn't dare to object.

"I'm very happy that you're back, so let's do it, I'll take you to Fanlou for dinner today."

"Okay." Si'er said happily.

It costs at least a few hundred yuan to eat a meal in Fan Lou, and an ordinary stir-fry may cost dozens of yuan, which is far more than that of later generations. But the people who come in to eat don't care, my brother doesn't eat food, it's a luxury.

But Fanlou has an important place in China's economic history, and it is almost a microcosm of the developed economy of the Song Dynasty.

Its development began with the Song Dynasty's monopoly on liquor, and the Song Dynasty monopolized liquor, but in order to appease some powerful people, a part of the profits was released, one of which was to buy and pounce, and the other was to drink households. Sake brewers are not allowed to make koji privately, but they can buy koji back from the government to make koji. The government earns koji money, and the wine merchants earn wine money, which is equally divided. In some cases, the imperial court allowed the sake merchants to use their family property to mortgage the koji and repay the loan after selling the wine. All of the 72 main restaurants in Tokyo are liquor stores.

Fan Lou is the most successful business, the original Fan Lou is called Alum Building, the necessary thing to operate papermaking is alum, and later changed to a restaurant. Zhao Zhen suffered from the embarrassment of the imperial treasury and designated more than 3,000 foot shops in Kyoto to take wine and sell it in Fanlou.

This brings us to a question of economics. Strictly speaking, the imperial court specializes in the liquor industry, and there are benefits from koji, and there are profits from wine, which will be more profitable than selling koji. In fact, if both are operated, the efficiency of the political axe will be a serious waste of personnel and efficiency, and in some cases, it will not be as profitable as the sale of koji.

Because it is the place where the imperial court sells wine, it will not evade taxes, nor will it appear pure moonshine, and the court's profits are greater than before. This problem can also be reflected in the tea alum salt, saying that it is the monopoly of the imperial court, a large number of private tea, moonshine and salt, and the purchase of the system to damage the income of the imperial court, otherwise only five items of tea and alum fragrant salt wine may bring more than 150 million yuan of income to the Song Dynasty. But the actual income has shrunk by at least one-fifth.

Therefore, Fan Lou quickly soared, and the imperial court gave Fan Lou 50,000 catties of koji a year, which could make nearly 2 million catties of wine.

The significance of the progress of Fan Lou in economic history is the division of labor production, unlike the primitive production of most workshops in the Song Dynasty, the operation of Fan Lou is composed of three parts, the first restaurant on each floor has a senior executive, who presides over the business of this floor, and Fan Lou has five buildings and four floors, at least thirty or more senior executives. The second is the kitchen, with a total of 20 floors of diners, all of whom must be comprehensive, not only the chef's skills, but also a high degree of clear division of labor.

In fact, in a certain sense, Fanlou's business model is close to the business theory of later generations.

Finally, there's the height.

Successive dynasties in history attached great importance to height, and the height of private houses was never allowed to exceed the height of royal buildings.

However, the five high-rise buildings of Fanlou are four storeys high, and there are flybridge railings at all levels, which are connected by light and dark, and the roof is towering in, and its height exceeds the height of the Tian'an Hall where the grand ceremony was held in the palace of the Song Dynasty. This meant the commoner of the Northern Song Dynasty and the emphasis on commerce.

So far, the renovation of Fan Tower has just been completed.

Of course, the more exquisite the Fan Lou, the higher the consumption.

But for Zheng Lang, it is not a luxury consumption, his current annual salary is very terrible, not to mention the family's industry. With Zheng Lang's expenses, even if Zheng Lang spends two or three thousand yuan a year on worshipping the Bodhisattva, if he doesn't help the poor people, he can save nearly 20,000 yuan.

came to the street with two concubines, and the more you went to Fanlou, the more prosperous it became.

In the next few years, we can clearly see that many new high-rise buildings have been added to the capital.

If you don't pay attention to the rapid changes in the capital, it is difficult to see the benefits of Zhao Zhen's inaction, which is still achieved under the country's many disasters and difficulties every year.

So Zheng Lang said that Zhao Zhen is a gentleman, and he wants him to become the sun, it is not a lie, he has more than a thousand years of knowledge than Zhao Zhen, but as the leader of a country, Zhao Zhen attaches the most importance to the people. The others are mostly nonsense and fooling the common people.

This only made Zheng Lang even more confused.

When I saw Fan Lou, I suddenly heard a cheer.

Si'er likes to watch the excitement the most, and takes Zheng Lang's hand and squeezes over.

However, Zheng Lang nervously protected Xing'er, after all, he was pregnant for six months, and he was afraid of hurting Xing'er.

Fortunately, Cui Xian is not here, otherwise she would have scolded Si'er.

Seeing that the two spears in the field were handing over, the spears danced fast, like two black waves, blooming from time to time, quickly shattering, and opening beautifully again.

A smile appeared on Zheng Lang's face.

After dancing with spears, the two big men walked up to the people with trays and begged for money.

Some give, some don't.

The tray came to Zheng Lang, Zheng Lang took out a piece of broken silver from his arms, and the two big men looked at Zheng Lang in surprise.

Zheng Lang said: "Two strong men, don't you remember me? ”

"Are you...... Good noodles cooked. "The older one said strangely.

"You saved me."

The young man's mouth opened wide, and Zheng Lang took their hands and said, "Talk outside." ”

Zheng Lang is not the Zheng Lang of the past, he still wears civilian clothes today, but he is already a third-grade official of the imperial court.

The two big men carefully packed up their things and followed Zheng Lang out of the crowd.

"The two strong men have the same name?"

"Don't dare, the little one's surname is Su, his name is Keqing, his name is Liu Kang, and he is the little nephew."

"Why did you leave the army so early?"

It is called discharge, and only the forbidden army is eligible.

However, the imperial court treated the forbidden army well, especially the forbidden army in the capital, and a forbidden soldier's annual salary cost the imperial court fifty yuan. Due to the low status of the soldiers, the officers of the forbidden army were too lazy to work hard, deducted a large amount of military salaries, embezzled the property of the soldiers, and even forcibly seized the wives and daughters of the soldiers. As a result, a large number of deserters were triggered, and the most ridiculous scene was that at the time of the Jingkang Revolution, Kaifeng had 800,000 forbidden troops, but only 30,000 could actually be used, and the difference reached a full 770,000.

Snakes have snake roads, turtles have turtle roads, soldiers also have soldiers' methods, in order to live, so the forbidden army barracks that should have been Jin Ge Iron Horse, as well as the soldiers' wives and children, some simply opened a record yard, a tea house and a tea shop in the city or in the barracks, and the lowest is farming.

This is Zheng Lang's understanding of the Song Army based on historical knowledge when he was a teenager.

When I came to the Song Dynasty for a long time, I realized that it was not the same thing. The most bitter is the border army, and this ugly phenomenon mostly happens to the border army. Moreover, at this time, the military and political government of the Northern Song Dynasty was not corrupted to such a point.

Yes, but there is no dark side to that dynasty, and I know that historians infinitely ugly the Song Dynasty.

In fact, compared with other industries, the income of the forbidden army is still a kind of high income, the provisions, clothing, weapons, and military salaries of the forbidden soldiers are all supplied by the state, and the monthly salary of a forbidden army is equivalent to twice that of a peasant in the prime of life. Once the expedition is set out, there is also special money for clothing, grain, rice and horse fodder. Military discipline is not strict, many people are mixed into the forbidden army, and in the case that the imperial court does not strictly regulate the retirement age, they have been mixed until they are over sixty years old, with gray hair, and they are really embarrassed to stay in the barracks, and then mix a settlement money and a return money. These two sums of money are very rich, enough for the old to spend the rest of their lives, and the young to find a wife and start a family.

If this kind of comprehensive and generous economic treatment can be strictly enforced, it will be unprecedented in the world, even surpassing that of later American GIs.

Therefore, at the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, it had been peaceful for a long time, and the forbidden army often only entered but did not leave.

Su Keqing and Liu Kang are strong in martial arts, and their age is not very old, even today, Su Keqing is only in his early forties, Liu Kang is in his early thirties, why did he retire from the army?

Su Keqing's eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice: "The younger one also made military achievements with his nephew in the northwest back then, and I was still a capital leader back then, but I had a dispute with the party members and a conflict with the commander, he excluded us, and in a fit of anger, we retired from the army." ”

Zheng Lang pondered for a while, ten years ago, the northwest was generally calm, but the local conflict still existed, not the fault of the commander, and the imperial court did not want to have any misunderstanding with Li Deming at that time, these two people were about the surname Ge Gangqiang, and they were not used to the practices of the party members, or others, so they didn't ask more, and asked another question: "Where were you in the northwest at that time?" ”

"First in Gyeongju, then in Yeonju, and finally transferred to Juju."

"Are you familiar with the local terrain?"

"When I was in Gyeongju and Yeonju, the small one was a spy, and the two terrains were more familiar, but after arriving in Dunzhou, the small one was promoted to the head of the capital and rarely went out. So ......"

"Will you be my humble guests?"

"Yes." The two were overjoyed.

In fact, Zheng Lang doesn't have to be humble guests, but it is a rare coincidence, he had some kindness to himself back then, and the two of them seemed to be very clever in martial arts, so they accepted it.

Looking at the tall Fan Tower, Zheng Lang said, "Maybe I will go to the northwest in a few days." ”

"Official," Xing'er nervously took Zheng Lang's hand, she had heard Zheng Lang say many times about the northwest, there would be many wars in the future, and it was very dangerous to stay in the northwest.

Si'er also asked puzzled: "Official, why do you want to go to the northwest?" ”

"Go and have a look."

"But, but ......" Jiang Xing'er said two yes, it's not Zheng Lang who wants to see it, even if he wants to see it, he has to allow Zhao Zhen to do it, no wonder he just said that it will take a long time to return to Hangzhou, and said: "Why go to the northwest." ”

"Familiar." Zheng Lang said.

I leaked more "heavenly opportunities", and after Hangzhou took office, it was difficult to go to the northwest.

But going to the northwest is still for another thing, to seek justice for the sacrificed soldiers!
