Chapter 363: Domineering
Now Zhao Ji is pressing, opening his mouth and closing his mouth without leaving one word, money.
"I don't know, it shouldn't be less." Wang Ju replied uncertainly. The main cost geometry, he did not know. He also didn't know what the yield would be. But it should be good, after all, as far as he knows, the officials on both sides of Guangnan East Road and Fujian are trying their best to support it.
With the support of Guangnan East Road, there will be more financial and material resources, and with the support of Fujian Road, there will be relocation.
If these two officials do not support it, they will only transfer some money, which is far from enough.
"By the way, I suddenly remembered one thing, the various ways of playing can't buy a pastoral prison site, but the imperial court has always been short of horses, so Tang Jie wrote in Taiyuan and asked Jiaocheng County to place a horse supervisor. Cui Taifu, a member of the department, inspected and said that he could be placed in prison in the former pastoral prison of Fenzhou, but 1,200 hectares of the 3,000 hectares of pastoral prison had been rented by the people, so he could only choose 500 horses from Shayuan to go to each other. I think it's too little...... I don't know how you and Cai Ting dealt with those war horses on Huanqing Road? ā
"1,800 hectares of pastoral overseers, 180,000 acres of land, can only raise 500 horses?"
"I think it's incredible, too."
"I'm afraid that the actual shepherd is not 1,800 hectares, and it has been invaded by Haoqiang."
"Why don't you report it?"
Wang Ju didn't answer.
Zhao Ji realized, now that the officials and gentry are colluding, how can they report it?
Comprehended, Wang Jucai said: *"Your Majesty, it's not that there are few venues, but that the officials don't dare to act." When the minister and Cai Gong were in charge of those war horses, they fed more miscellaneous grains and straws. Huanqing Road is indeed less. Later, at the recommendation of the minister, Cai Gong moved reed sorghum to some barren beaches and streams. and alfalfa. Just when the youth is prosperous. Harvest them. Used as feed. However, one place can only be used for one battalion of cavalry, and if there are too many, it will not work. However, if you consciously grow green fodder, the area occupied will not be too large. But this is in the barracks, and the military horses are in charge of each person, and the soldiers love them and take care of them carefully. placed in the pastoral superintendent, and did not want to achieve this effect. Speaking of pastoral supervisors, the minister was very unoptimistic. ā
"Won't I be forever short of horses?"
"It depends on what kind of horse it is. If it is a civilian horse, it can be obtained by raising it by the people and supported by policies. If it is a military horse, it is uneven in the northwest, and there will always be a shortage of horses. Even if you take Hehuang, you can't do it, because Hehuang horses are suitable for alpine land, and when they reach the plains, it is difficult to feed. ā
That is, it is okay to use it on the northwest battlefield, but it can be used on the northern battlefield. This kind of horse is not very effective.
"If you want to ride the army, you must level Xixia. Isn't that what it means? ā
"Yes."
"Western Xia ......"
"You can't be in a hurry with this, Your Majesty, why is there still a horse in Shayuan?"
Xue Xiangti was placed in prison in Weizhou, and once transferred some horses over, but many horses died on the way, and then fell on deaf ears. But I don't really understand, why did you let the Zhu and Li families buy so many livestock, and there were few deaths? ā
"His Majesty asked rightly, why there is a phenomenon of dead horses, the reason is very simple, Xu officials do not act, and even directly deduct the feed needed by the horses along the way, plus abuse, so whether the horses come from Bashu, or Tubo, or transported to Weizhou, there will be many war horses die on the way. If that's the case, Di Qing took a group of Tibetan horsemen south to Kunlun Pass, wouldn't he want the war horses to die? Your Majesty, the minister explained it like this, do you understand? ā
"The corruption you talked about."
That's the word, so the minister repeatedly wrote in Ma Cezhong, so it was better to leave it in the pastoral prison and raise it, so it was better to hand it over directly to the army. Further, why is it that the state has a monopoly on finance, but its fiscal situation has deteriorated? ā
"Corruption!"
"It's not just corruption, either."
"Not as shrewd as a businessman."
"No, no matter how shrewd the businessmen are, they don't have so many resources and capital in their hands, so they can succeed because they pursue profit and do everything. Officials have a lot of concerns about financial management, and even some officials do not consider the safety of the country, saying that a gentleman is ashamed of his words, what is the difference between Wang Rong's blockage? If you are really ashamed of your words, your majesty might as well deduct half of their salaries to see if they are noisy? ā
Zhao Ji made him laugh.
"In addition, everyone sees successful businessmen, but they don't know that every day there are businessmen who go bankrupt and sell their sons and daughters to pay off their debts. Therefore, the imperial court once contracted the purchase of horses to merchants. At least they don't send the dead horses to the shepherd. This is also the reason why the minister ti yƬ contracted the Zhufangchang river crossing, the state is operating at a loss, but in the hands of the merchants, it can make a profit, so the state can regulate and control, but it is best not to directly participate. ā
Zhao Ji nodded.
It's actually really important.
Wang Anshi's later city Yifa pitted the Song Dynasty.
However, the influence of the quilt continues to expand.
Zhao Ji finally drove away Han Qi and immediately worked diligently.
Therefore, every few days, the two governors were summoned to discuss state affairs in the government hall.
Military, People's Livelihood, Finance, Water Conservancy, Ma Zheng......
Wen Yanbo asked: "Your Majesty, that quilt is from Lingnan, right?" ā
"Yes, when it is on display, I will distribute them to the dukes, but in limited quantities."
"It seems to be related to Wang Ju, right?" Wen Yanbo asked again.
"This year's construction of the Zhengbai Canal, the financial embarrassment, has affected the progress of the canal repair. Originally, the country was in poverty and thieves were rampant, but thieves actually sneaked into Han Qi's room. Therefore you must not be cruel to the people. So Wang Qing came up with this strategy. ā
"Your Majesty, it's also a good policy, it's better to use Sima Guang's words to transfer him to the third division."
The Third Division is not only an official position such as an envoy and judge, but also other middle and low-level official positions. The judge of the third division is a joke, but there are still some official positions suitable for Wang Ju.
"No, Shaanxi misreported that Wang Ju was transferred, and the people of Zheng Baiqu were worried together, and many people asked Hou Ke and Yang Pan for their lives. There are also some heroes who think that this opportunity can be taken advantage of, and they have begun to encircle the land by a large margin. The human heart is insufficient, and the greed is insatiable. I'm disappointed, I'm disappointed. ā
Wen Yanbo is also kind-hearted. The country's biggest headache now is finance, Wang Ju has some ingenuity, not necessarily let him make decisions, but as long as he says it, everyone discusses and discusses, and then implements it, and in a few years, the finances can be turned around. Now Wang Ju is in Jixian Academy to repair books, which is purely a waste, and the best place to go is Sansi. If Wang Ju knew the specific accounts of the three divisions. Wouldn't we be able to come up with a better way?
However, Zhao Ji was involved in Haoqiang's insatiable greed. Wen Yanbo was silent.
However, Wen Yanbo also neglected the book that Wang Ju had repaired.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
"Second uncle, eldest brother, Qiong Niangzi......" Wang Ju was stunned.
Li Zhen said: "I can't help it, even the second brother wrote a letter, saying that many people say that my family is domineering." Last year, Zu Wuxuan knew about Hangzhou, and this spring he deliberately went to the paper workshop to inspect it, and he also laughed a few words. ā
Speaking of this, Li Zhen also has a lot of resentment.
This is Wang Jufei dragging his family affairs back. If it doesn't delay, then there will be so much discussion?
Did Wang Ju do something wrong? Let's look at Zhao Ji's early marriage and early childbearing, how many of the previous children survived?
Everyone was talking about it, Li Zhen had no choice, and when she came to the capital, she didn't look for Wang Ju, but immediately came to Xiliu Lane. Don't think that anyone can see Qiongniang.
But Li Zhen reported his name and said that he was Wang Juju's uncle, and he could see him immediately. Li Zhen was open and honest again and talked to Qiongniang. Our Li family is not a rumored harsh family. Wang Ju does not accept it, and it has nothing to do with our Li family. If you want. Just let me go. and then married to the Wang family as the maid of the Li family.
Wang Ju's second uncle Wang Wei has no opinion, the Song Dynasty took ribs and poor breasts as beauty, but Wang Wei did not have this kind of aesthetics.
As for the dowry, it is also normal, this is the "law of the market", there are more men and fewer women, and the dowry is indispensable. There are many boys and girls, and if you want to find a good family, the dowry is indispensable. Therefore, the Song Dynasty often had a variety of dowries, such as field coupons, jiaozi, house deeds, gold and silver jewelry, furniture, color forging, etc., including beautiful maids. In fact, this beautiful maid who marries will be called as a roommate or a concubine in the future. However, it may not be possible for everyone to accompany the beautiful maid, such as Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, that is monogamy.
But because of the pressure of public opinion, Wang Anshi's wife Wu and Sima Guang's wife Zhang both bought concubines for their husbands, but they were rejected by the two.
If you go to the Wang family like this, you will be a lower level after all. Qiongniang hesitated for a long time, and finally reluctantly agreed.
Wang Wei and Li Zhen took Qiongniang to the inn again.
Although it is said to be a maidservant, Qiongniang's person is free.
Wang Ju laughed, looked at Qiongniang and said: "You are proficient in poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, why bother?" ā
"The maid spread the news that you listened to "The Pride of the Fisherman", and the concubine is your person, how to deal with the concubine?"
"I'll do it, you go and rest for a while." Wang Ju let Qiongniang in, then looked at Li Zhen and said, "This girl is both talented." ā
"That's right, otherwise how would it reach the ears of the ancestral prefect?"
"No, I mean Mind, do you really want her to be in the same room as your little sister?" Wang Ju asked.
In fact, let Wang Ju choose again, Wang Ju will also choose Concubine Li, and her appearance is quite pretty, at least Wang Ju is very satisfied, mainly because of his simple mind. This is what Wang Ju values most.
"She's just a concubine."
"You think it's the usual kind of concubine? Would she be willing to be that kind of concubine? ā
"Do you want to be a wife?"
"It's not that simple," Wang Ju said, this woman, if she learns from Su Dongpo and gives her away, she will also hang herself like that Mei Niang.
"So what now?"
"You take her to Yanzhou first, if she is still willing, let her be, if she is unwilling, let her come back." Wang Ju said.
"That's what I thought, by the way, why do you stay at the inn?"
"I have a slight job in the capital for the time being, the time will not be too long, I will return to Yanzhou to get married soon, and when I go to work from Yanzhou, I will return to Zhengbaiqu, which will save trouble, it is better to stay in a guest house."
"This is a printed book." Li Zhen took out a thick stack of books from her luggage.
The actual number of words is not very much, six or seven hundred thousand words, but many paintings are inserted as annotations, so after the book is printed, it is more than 4,000 pages. So Li Zhen simply divided the bookstore into ten volumes.
Li Zhen said again: "When the craftsman was engraving, the young owners of the two bookstores were curious, so they went in to read the manuscript, and after reading it, they high-fived and said, strange books. ā
It is not only a strange book, in Wang Ju's heart, its importance has surpassed the four books and five classics. Wang Ju opened it and flipped through it and asked, "How many copies have you printed?" ā
"Four thousand copies."
Wang Ju didn't let it be broken up and sold, even if it could be transferred to various bookstores at cost price, a set would have to be more than a single set, so it would not be printed much.
In fact, it is quite good, if it is not changed to small character engraving, as well as bamboo paper and binding editions, such a set of books are printed, it is the cost, and I don't know how much money. Wang Ju asked again: "Can you get to the capital?" (To be continued......) R1292
