Zhang Qi and Hou Ke were speechless.

In fact, Zhao Ji was even more speechless, originally hoping to get better this year, but Hebei continued to suffer, and a southern performance festival cost a lot of money. He even doubted that without the financial surplus brought by Wang Ju, the lid of this cauldron would still be lifted.

It will be revealed, but it will be more difficult to uncover.

Zhang Qi said: "Maybe it will be better in two years." ”

Although at Han Qi's insistence, the full 46th battalion of the Baojie army was increased, but on the whole, the expenditure was not increased but decreased. The cost of the other Parchie Army has fallen by two-thirds, which is equivalent to a partial decrease in total expenditure compared to the original.

But the entire Song Dynasty laid off 250,000 troops, and now needs some resettlement expenses, and in two years, no longer pay resettlement fees, then you can save tens of millions of yuan, plus a square river crossing, one in and one out, it is fifteen million guan money.

In the absence of major disasters, there can be an initial surplus in the state finances.

Zhang Kai has not yet included the income from cotton, and Zhang Kai does not know much about this matter. But it was negligence, and there was another thing he didn't know either, that huge debt!

Wang Ju asked rhetorically: "Brother Qianfu, do you think that Western Xia is willing to let me get Suizhou?" ”

In just one sentence, Zhang Qi is silent, even if there is a surplus, what can he do, after a battle is fought, there is no surplus.

But this is actually not a problem, there is Wang Anshi!

Without Wang Anshi's wealth, relying on Wang Ju's petty knocks still can't solve this crisis.

Wang Ju accepted the army.

It is true that Zhang Ji did a very good job, although he selected the forty-six battalions of the Baojie army, but almost none of the so many Baojie troops were weak soldiers.

"Pawn of the Tiger and Wolf."

"Zi'an, you don't patronize the canal. Let's practice properly. Zhang Qi persuaded.

"Do you think I have time to train in the army?"

"Either go to the book and ask Your Majesty to choose a few brave generals to come over."

"That's just as well," Wang Ju said. In fact, he followed some famous players and found the whereabouts of some famous players. Such as Liu Changzuo, Yan Da. Zhang Shouyue, Liu Shunqing, Qu Zhen, He Bin, Wang Guangzu, Wang Junwan, and some famous generals have not been inquired about, such as Zhao Long. Jia Yan, Guo Cheng, Wang Sunchen, after all, the resources in his hands are also limited, and it is impossible to take the liberty of saying to Zhao Ji that these people are famous generals and must be found out immediately. Besides, there are so many characters with the same name and surname.

Even among these people who have been found, there are also some people who have started their own tracks, and there is no need to interfere with their development.

But he really has a few suitable candidates in his hands, the first of which is Chongyi. The farmer is young, and he is only in his twenties now, but he can mix a command. Advance training. There is also Yao Lin, Yao's mother has just died, Yao Lin is worried at home, but it is a hundred days early, and he can let him out of the mountain. The other person is Miao Zhu, the deputy envoy of the supply and preparation warehouse. These three people are not in the army for the time being, but they can be transferred over, with a rank officer, and then responsible for training these tens of thousands of Baojie troops.

In addition to the friendship can be a little tenderer, the qualifications and experience of the other two should also be enough. But Wang Ju thought about it. Another person was added, Wang Junwan. It is said that this person is a bit greedy and slightly narrow-minded. But he can also fight, and now he only serves as a commander of Qin Fenglu, although he has no actual combat experience, he has a certain amount of training experience. Make up for this person, and the shortcomings of the three of them will be completely compensated.

Thinking of this, he immediately wrote a letter and sent a request to Xifu.

On this article, Wen Yanbo is not embarrassed.

"Zi'an, you're really nepotistic," Zhang Qi quipped. One is related to Yao Ji, and the other is related to seed diagnosis.

"What to do, if it's you, who knows who is available?"

"It's true."

Of course, Zhang Qi didn't know how powerful these four generals were, but Wang Ju didn't know how important it would be for him to be reminded by Zhang Kai a year later.

Zhang Qi said: "If these generals can come, Zi'an also wants to remind them that they must be brave when they command their positions to be wise and intelligent, and they must be brave, I just picked a little and didn't pick carefully, so the jobs given to them are only substitutes, and I hope that after these generals come down, they will be carefully selected." ”

"In fact, it is best for the commanders of each battalion and the head of the capital to be screened and selected."

"It's best to be the best, that's unlikely," Zhang Ji sighed. There are too many incompetent generals in the army, and each one is more powerful than the other, but when it comes to fighting, it doesn't work.

Even if there is a battle in Dashun City in Gyeongju, such a reward, some commanders are still not qualified.

"Take your time, in general, now I am facing the army, it is much better than when I was Renzong."

"That's without Li Yuanhao."

Wang Ju made him speechless.

…………

"Official, are you planting gold in Lingnan?" Concubine Li came over with Qiongniang holding a few quilts and asked angrily.

"What's wrong?"

"Twenty times a quilt, why is it so expensive?"

Last year, Zhao Ju also sent a quilt to Wang Ju, but let Wang Ju give it to the oldest old man in the nursing home in the name of Zhao Ju. Why, don't look at this little quilt, there are really not many ministers who can get it. At his level, Wang Ju is the only minister, including Zhang Ji, who has not been caught.

It is not a quilt, in Zhao Ji's eyes, it is a kind of recognition, but in the eyes of other ministers, it is mostly jealousy and hatred.

So he went to the nursing home in a high-profile manner, pretending that Zhao Ji heard that Zheng Baiqu had set up a nursing home, and deliberately gave a kapok quilt to the elderly to show condolences.

Send it away, and the hatred value will drop a little.

did a good job, Gao Taotao praised Wang Ju again in the palace, but Wang Ju didn't know.

Then this year, a large number of quilts came, the benefits want to maximize the benefits, can not only be sold in the capital, now Bianshui is frozen, Yangzhou Jiangning also has, in addition to Guanzhong also shipped over, Jingyang because of Zheng Baiqu, began to become prosperous, some businessmen also brought some quilts to sell.

Last year, it was a reward from the emperor, and if I received it, I would pull the hatred value, but now some are sold, and I bought it with money, so I won't pull the hatred value. As a result, Concubine Er and Qiongniang went to Jingyang to buy it, and then they were speechless. Others don't know. I think it's rare, but they know the yield, although the cotton yield of this acre of land can't pop out ten quilts. Maybe six or seven quilts popped up. So does it mean that the income of one acre of land can reach more than 100 yuan?

"Twenty?" Wang Ju was also a little smacked, and asked again: "Does anyone buy it?" ”

"Someone. It is estimated that it will be a few days later, and it will not be able to be bought. ”

"That's not expensive."

"It's not expensive, so how much does it have to sell for?"

"Someone buys and sells fast, it's not fast. Besides, this is given to the merchant by the inner treasury, and the inner treasury may not be able to get much money. I guess that after the official heard this price. Must be angry. ”

"But it's a good thing, it's warm," Qiongniang said, touching the quilt with her hand.

"It's good to be rare and expensive, and in more than ten years, it will not be rare." Wang Ju said.

This kind of profiteering may not have been figured out by Zhao Ji and Wang Anshi, but it will last for a long time, even more than ten or twenty years.

The result of market decisions.

Why? It has just appeared, and the production is limited, even if the inner library is promoted, it wants to be popularized. It will be a few years later, and Lingnan is vast and sparsely populated, relying on the migration of people. How many people can be moved, Su Lishu said in the book that 200,000 households will be moved, then 200,000 households will be used, if 100,000 households are moved, the momentum will be earth-shattering.

But how much is it in demand in the market? It's not the capital, it's not the north, to be precise, it's needed in the north of Lingnan. That's a market of more than 10 million households. Also, the price fell slightly, and no one traded on the Khitan side? What about Western Xia. What about Hehuang and Tibet, and what about Goryeo. What about the Wa Kingdom? This market is too big unless the cotton is officially from Lingnan to Jiangnan West Road. Bashu, Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang spread, and also began to popularize, and then the price will fall sharply.

Otherwise, it will always be so expensive, and the difference between supply and demand is too great. Of course, in a few years, there will not be a sky-high price of 20 quilts.

Wang Ju couldn't bear this price, so he touched the quilt and said, "Twenty times." ”

"It turns out that the officials are also heartbroken."

Can you not be heartbroken, 10,000 yuan for a quilt! A real luxury.

Qiong Niang looked at Wang Ju's expression from the side, and couldn't help giggling.

In fact, with the closure of the Bianshui River in the capital, the cotton products behind it were sold along the river, so there was not much left, and the price also began to rise.

Zhao Ji rarely goes out of the palace, at most occasionally he goes to Zhao Niannu's place to sit down.

The minister also heard about it, and he didn't object too much, this is against Zhao Shu's approach, and he values Zhao Niannu and Song Renzong, and recognizes "orthodoxy". But Zhao Ji also reflected too much, he flipped through the history books and saw that Zhao Kuangyin died wrongly, and it was not easy to say that his grandfather's grandfather Zhao Kuangyi killed Zhao Kuangyin. So the descendants of Xuanzu, Taizu, and Taizong were selected as the ancestors, and the descendants of the emperor were made to be crowned princes. Song Xuanzu is Zhao Hongyin, the father of the three brothers of the Zhao family, which actually refers to Zhao Kuangmei's lineage. He also edicted Zhao Defang's grandson Zhao Congshi as the king of Anding County.

A belated confession......

That's it, it can be regarded as Zhao Ji has a conscience, but in September, Zhao Ji suddenly had a whim and issued an edict: The descendants of the ancestors of the Zhongshu Gate are close to the Venerable, and the king of the earth is the king, so that he should be dedicated to the suburban temple, and the world will never die.

It happened that Han Qi went to Beijing to report on his work, and hurriedly admonished: "The lord is a prince." Suddenly choose one person to make the suburban temple dedicated, is there no doubt that the world is shocked! ”

It can be offered, but according to etiquette, from the dedication to the suburban temple, only the identity is the prince, because of various accidents, did not become the emperor, the later emperor in order to show tolerance, with the former prince from the dedication to the suburban temple.

Now let Zhao Kuangyin's descendants dedicate themselves to the suburban temple, which is tantamount to acquiescing to Zhao Kuangyin's descendants as princes, plus Zhao Kuangyin's death is very strange, maybe there will be an uproar in the future. Therefore, you can be crowned the king of the county, even if you worship the king, it doesn't matter, but this can never be implemented from the suburban temple.

Although Zhao Ji was mistaken, this heart is still good.

But as soon as he sat occasionally, Zhao Niannu's identity immediately became noble.

However, this time it has nothing to do with Zhao Niannu, but it was said by the eunuch outside.

Zhao Ji was also stupid: "Twenty times, why am I so poor." ”

As long as a quilt costs more than the usual cost, it can be sold for 20 yuan, and some people still buy it, and the supply exceeds demand, but why can't the country open the lid?

Zhao Ji made this twenty runs almost crazy.

The eunuch beside him comforted: "Your Majesty, it's normal, a banquet in Fan Lou is as little as a few hundred guan, and as much as a thousand." A gourd from the morning market costs half a penny. It is rumored that Renzong held a palace banquet to entertain the ministers, and when he saw that there was a new crab at the banquet, he liked it very much, so he asked the price and replied that a new crab cost 1,000 Wen, and Renzong was full of emotion and did not dare to put down the chopsticks. ”

In this comparison, the quilt is really not expensive, a gourd is only a bowl of soup, fifteen gourds and fifteen bowls of soup, and twenty is gone. But can they match the price of a quilt?

But the more the eunuch explained, the more crazy Zhao Ji became. He asked loudly: "I can't bear to use twenty quilts, who is buying so many quilts?" (To be continued) R655
