"You can't let her be bait," Erniu said.

It is very dangerous to make bait, and often the fish catch it, and the bait is swallowed by the fish.

"Second sister, you don't have to worry, just like I am in Huachi Town, we are bait together, have we been swallowed by the Xixia people in the end?" Wang Ju comforted. In fact, this matter is over, Wang Ju has arranged a better place for Ma Yaoyao, but that has to ask for Ma Yaoyao's consent.

Wang Ju was ready to move, but in the end he inspected the seven towns again.

This is a political achievement left by Wang Ju for several counties.

The construction of the Zhengbai Canal is equivalent to adding more than 20,000 hectares of fertile land out of thin air, which is enough to accommodate more than 100,000 military and civilian households.

Therefore, when Wang Ju was planning, he negotiated with several magistrates to leave seven pieces of vacant land in places with developed transportation, and each county allocated some funds from the county treasury to build some houses, which were used as a grass market for future commercial transactions, which was actually a small town. By renting these houses to merchants, the counties will have some additional income in the future.

This method is not Wang Ju's originality, the capital of the Song Dynasty and some large cities, there are also many official houses, the government rents them out, to get rent, most of them are managed by the "left and right wings". Occasionally, I will repair some houses for the state and county schools, let them rent them out, and support the state and county school funds, which are the same as the school fields of the state and county schools, not that the professors take the students to farm, but let the state and county schools collect rent, and then use this money to bear the daily expenses of the state and county schools, such as house repairs, professors' salaries, pen, ink, paper, inkstone fees, etc.

It's just that the price of real estate is a little unreasonable now, and the rent of a decent house in Beijing is only a dozen yuan a month. More than twenty times. For example, Song Zhenzong's sister thought that her horse mansion was small. rented the house of the isolated Zhang family, which is not small, but the monthly rent is only fifteen. If you want to save a little more, don't want a small building, don't want a small garden, then you can rent a small courtyard house for a few dollars.

But the sand is a tower, and there are many official residences, so this income is not small.

But in Wang Ju's eyes, this price is too cheap. The monthly rent of a small house with a garden in Beijing is only a dozen yuan, less than 10,000 yuan, isn't it cheap?

However, the sense of the times is different, in the eyes of the Song Dynasty, this rent is still very expensive, and many ministers are also "keenly aware of business opportunities", including Yan Shu, who also operates real estate and seeks rent.

Therefore, it is not possible to expect much rent. But if there is a certain process that allows the counties to have some funds for activities in their hands in the future, then it will not exploit the people excessively.

It's just a by-the-go of Wang Ju.

But it did. It's going to get it right.

happened to be in the town by himself, and there was still some deterrent power, so Wang Ju urged the counties to repair them quickly, otherwise these lands would be occupied by the powerful in the future.

So Wang Ju wrote that line of words, the country is not poor.

These five words are somewhat general, but in fact, there is also a huge danger hidden behind these five words, the rich and the poor are strictly zhòng, the property is concentrated in a small number of people, and ninety percent of the common people are poor, and the country is poor.

However, it is also an opportunity, no matter what kind of people have money, the overall treasury of the country is still rich, and it is easy to do it when there is money.

Like building these towns.

The radical style of eliminating violence and peace, robbing the rich and helping the poor, will definitely not work.

Even fair taxation can cause a lot of contradictions.

It would be very difficult to use some peaceful means, such as the current small-town method. I have a lot of labor here, and I happen to squeeze out the land, but what about other places. However, the Song Dynasty officials were constantly transferred, and it was not easy to achieve results in such a short period of time. So there are some ways to do it, but when you think about it, it's just as difficult.

Anyway, in many aspects, even Wang Ju didn't figure it out.

Before Wang Ju finished the transfer, Hou Ke's order came down.

"Zi'an, Han Gong has arrived in Xiangzhou, I'm worried that it will have an impact." Zhao Du said.

What happened in the court, Wang Ju didn't know much, and Zhao Du didn't know it either.

But Zhao Du was keenly aware of Han Qi's merits in Zheng Baiqu.

Sima Guang's impeachment of Wang Ju is all sorts of things, although it is adding fuel and vinegar, but it is not completely groundless.

However, Wang Ju continued to do it below, but there was no movement at all above, which is also not right, or someone is covering it, so who will this person be? It is undoubtedly Han Qi. He is not covering Wang Ju, but covering Zheng Baiqu. Of course, if Wang Ju is incapable and the canal is not repaired, but he makes a mess underneath, then Han Qi will take the lead in trampling Wang Ju to death.

Now that Han Qi has left Dongfu and gone to Xiangzhou, who will cover Wang Ju?

"Zhao Du, don't underestimate the official family." Wang Ju said.

There may be trouble, but this trouble is not trouble, besides, Han Qi is covering Zheng Baiqu!

"Let's go back." Wang Ju said again.

Start moving.

When he came to the "new house", Wang Ju looked at the room in surprise, and then said, "Commander Yang, it's not good for you to do this. ”

Yang Commander said: "Wang Pingshi, we heard that Wang Pingshi is going to marry the little lady of the Li family at the end of the year, so the brothers have expressed their stance one after another, and we can't let Wang Pingshi be too aggrieved. ”

"It's not good," Wang Ju said after taking two steps. It's still a thatched house, but the floor of the house is paved with green bricks or ashlar, and the walls are inlaid with wooden boards, so Wang Ju said: "Is this still a thatched house?" Isn't it selling dog meat on the head of a sheep? ”

Commander Yang said: "Wang Pingshi, this is a piece of the brothers' hearts. ”

"Forget it, Zhao Du, you estimate how much silk it cost to repair this thatched house, and hand over this money to the canal in a few days."

"Whoa."

"Isn't that okay?"

"Instructed by Yang, I have repeatedly warned you to do things fairly, especially not to deduct the salary of subordinates, but I must take the lead myself in order to be convincing. Really, I can't afford to live in a good house? "In short, this time Commander Yang and the officers and soldiers did bad things with good intentions.

It's just because he was kind enough that Wang Ju didn't reprimand him anymore.

After Yang instructed him to leave, Zhao Du said: "Zi'an, if I think so, I still go back to Yanzhou to hold a wedding." ”

The wedding date was coming soon, and Wang Ju originally planned to send the second girl to Hangzhou, but someone from the Li family said that Li Zhen took Wang Ju's second uncle. and the third brother. Including Li Zhen herself. They all came back from Hangzhou. In this era, from Hangzhou to Shaanxi, how troublesome will it be?

However, the Li family was cautious, and Wang Ju had no way to refuse.

But how and where to handle the wedding, Wang Ju has not yet made up his mind. Zhao Du said again: "Zi'an, it's not far to Yanzhou. It's still okay to take a few days off from the imperial court. ”

Wang Ju was pondering.

The main thing is that there are many things in this canal, and there are many people who have offended. That's why there is Zhao Du's mention yì.

"Let's talk about it." Wang Ju finally said.

However, soon, Zhao Zhen sent a lieutenant envoy to give an order. The envoy is Wang Ju's old acquaintance, the eunuch surnamed Huang.

"I've seen Lieutenant Envoy Huang."

"Wang Pingshi, it's more polite," Huang Gonggong said with a smile.

"Lieutenant Envoy Huang, why did the imperial court suddenly issue an edict and let me go back to Beijing to report on my work?" Wang Ju asked as he made a cup of tea for Huang Gonggong.

Huang Gonggong's mouth opened, and Wang Ju understood and let the others go down.

"Wang Commentary. It was Sima Gong who impeached you, saying that you were raising private soldiers. The abuse of lynching is a thief of the ......"

"Stop, what did he say I was?"

"A thief."

"I'm a national thief?" Wang Ju made the two words Leili skin charred and tender.

"Wang Pingshi, don't talk about you, the official family was also dumbfounded after hearing it. However, the official family deliberately asked our family to come to Shaanxi to issue an edict, not to reproach you. But you also know that the official family is young, and these scholars and doctors are full of poetry and books, and the official family can't distinguish it. ”

It's not just that they can't win, it's a large group of experienced and powerful old cats, teasing a little mouse.

"After Han Gong went down, the official family finally got some rights back...... Alas, what is this like, the official family wants to do something, but they are at a loss, and they don't know who is available, so they ordered you to go to Beijing to help, and the official family also knows that you are working hard below, Wang Pingshi, you look at the bronze mirror, our family can't stand it. ”

"Is there something wrong?"

"Do you look at your hand, or the hand of a scholar? Look at this face again, is it still the rumored beautiful man? ”

"Yes, don't say it, I'm numb, I'm down to business."

"The official family is afraid that you will be worried, so they deliberately let our family come to issue an edict, but there is no need to rush to the capital, mainly the drain workers, when can you take a break and when to go again."

"There's no big problem with the drains," Wang Ju said after a moment's thought. He just went to the capital to report on his work, and the time would not be delayed for too long, and he also knew that Zhao Ji wanted to do something, what was it, if this matter was done well, the country's finances would slowly become healthy.

Why run Zheng Baiqu and why should it be financially healthy?

Wang Ju wants to make a difference, can he leave these two?

"Huang Neishi, what has happened in the court in the past half a year?" Wang Ju asked.

Huang Gonggong also heard the inside story limitedly, but he knew much more than he must have known. Sima Guang attacked himself, and he couldn't fight an unprepared battle.

Huang Gonggong didn't hide it, others didn't know, but he knew Wang Ju's status in Zhao Ji's heart, and he told him what he knew.

"It's okay for Han Gong to do this."

"Yes, the two queen mothers in the palace also said the same."

Wang Ju thought about it carefully.

Huang Gonggong said: "But Sima Gong should not make trouble with Wang Ping. ”

"It's okay, Han Gong, the dragons have no leader, and everyone wants to be on top."

"Want to be on top?"

"Although I finally took into account the influence of the court and took it lightly, I dealt with Yintian, second, I dealt with mergers in disguise, and third, I ridiculed usury, and some people rejected me. Besides, with Sima Gong's conservatism and attaching importance to respect, he will be very repulsive to me, Han Gong is here, he is afraid of Zheng Baiqu's plan, afraid that Han Gong will be angry, and he will not dare to make trouble. Han Gong went down, can he still endure it? ”

"So that's the case, no wonder Han Gong didn't say a word when he was in Zhongshu."

"That's right, but although he has reaped a lot of benefits by taking advantage of Han Gong's momentum, Han Gong is not very easy for him to reap benefits, so he also wants to find an opportunity to continue to reap benefits."

"We still don't get it."

"He rejects me, I'm afraid there are some conservative ministers who reject me, and I'm young, with little seniority and low official position, which is also easy to suppress, as long as he takes the lead, someone will immediately echo him, and after a few things are done, everyone will regard him as the leader, which is the biggest benefit."

"No, it won't."

"When it comes to the art of power and scheming in the world, Sima Gong should be the leader. Huang Neishi, think about how Fan Gong and Han Gong got to power, but Fan Gong is not so selfish. And you can take my words back to the palace. The original report was reported to the two queen mothers and the official family. ”

That high-ranking official doesn't have the power to scheming?

But it really has something to do with power schemes. I'm afraid the emperor and the queen mother. I won't like it.

Huang Gonggong thought about it for a while, where could he figure it out?

"Lieutenant Envoy Huang, report to Beijing as soon as you return to Beijing, I will arrange the drain workers and report to Beijing immediately."

"Okay." Eunuch Huang quickly went back.

Wang Ju called a few of his subordinates, Tao Qing and Huang Liangcai were better than Zhao Du, but their experience was very insufficient, and Zhao Du was sleek. Visibility is also insufficient. It's just three stinkers, and one Zhuge Liang has competed. There are many people and many ideas, so Wang Ju wants to hear their thoughts.

"Sima Gong wants to deal with you, it's a bit difficult...... Zhao Du said.

After all, the two are not on the same level.

"To get to the bottom of it, when I entered the imperial examination in Beijing in the past, the official family was King Ying, and he was quite interested in some of the deeds of my youth, and he had a little dealings with me, and he didn't have a bad impression of me."

"Is there such a thing? That's good. ”

"It can't be said that it's very good, the official family is young after all. These people are experienced, if not handled properly. Maybe I can force the officials to treat me as a victim and make peace with the scholars. ”

"Be careful." Zhao Dudao, not only the current Zhao Zhen, even if Zhao Zhen can be called skilled in manipulation back then, but under the pressure of all the scholars and doctors, Di Qing has also become a victim.

"Zi'an, how much disgust does Sima Gong have for you?" Huang Liang asked. Bad feelings are also divided into several types, one is mild, the other is the undying type, if it is the latter, then it is strict.

"Let's talk about it this way, first of all, the military. You also know that Sima Gong is working on a book, which His Majesty personally named "Zizhi Tongjian", which has not yet been completed, but it shows that Sima Gong is very proficient in history. ”

"That's a good thing."

"It's not necessarily a good thing, think about the previous dynasty, did the Qin Dynasty fall by the Hu people? Internal collapse. In the Han Dynasty, relatives were in power, and the Western Han Dynasty fell. This was especially true in the Eastern Han Dynasty, where relatives were autocratic, eunuchs interfered in politics, and then the Yellow Turban riots and the Eastern Han Dynasty collapsed. Not to mention the Western Jin Dynasty. The Sui Dynasty died in tyranny. The Tang Dynasty's military generals were autocratic, and the rebellion of Anshi was divided from the feudal town, and later because of the annexation, the Huangchao riot. Thus, in the previous dynasties, the Hulu was a threat, but not a mortal threat. As long as there are no mistakes in internal affairs, the country will not perish. ”

"It seems to be the truth."

"But when it comes to our dynasty, it's not the same reason, look at how the Liao State makes the people of Yanyun loyal? They have found a way to integrate the Hu and the Han. However, Sima Gong would not think so, on the contrary, what he saw from history was that due to the excessive expansion of the dynasty, it caused the country to be overthrown, the people were displaced, and the people were miserable. As a result, his personality gradually became more and more peaceful. ”

"Gou An is not good."

"Xiyan, of course it's not good. If we continue like this, I will perish! This is far away, Wang Ju took back the topic again, and continued to analyze Sima Guang's character: "Secondly, Sima Gong is full of poetry and books, and he is from a famous family. ”

The Sima family is rumored to be a descendant of the Sima family in the Western Jin Dynasty, which is a real royal family. And they heard another rumor that Sima Guang's father, Sima Chi, lost his father at a young age, and in order to study with peace of mind, he gave hundreds of thousands of Guan family property to his uncles and uncles. It was still the Zhenzong era, how much wealth did you think the Sima family had?

Wang Juji said: "In addition, in the course of Sima Gong's life, he also experienced a war, and that time our army was defeated in Fengzhou, and it seems that Sima Gong participated in the planning, at least the war that he tacitly approved. The fiasco is fresh in his memory. Moreover, his official career is mostly a judge, a staff officer and a supervisor such as a general judge and a promoter, and he has no experience in running a large state, so it may be difficult to perceive the difficulty of doing things independently. ”

In this way, Sima Guang's background and life course are analyzed, and Sima Guang's character will come out.

Conservative character, rejection of war, consciously defending the respect of Confucianism, in the words of later generations, is consciously safeguarding the interests of the ruling stage, which is not the emperor, but the various large landowners and officials.

However, what about Wang Ju's approach?

He rejects Gou He, promotes the policy of Qi Min, and it is not Zhao Pu's Qi Min, he is more thorough, and he takes the lead.

"Then Sima Gong and you can't be accommodating." Zhao Du said.

"You think so too?"

"It should be," Zhao Du said unconvincedly, although he had been a Xu official for many years and was also tactful, but he did not have many high-ranking officials.

"Then there is no need to doubt it, there are two ways now, one is to answer Sima Gong euphemistically, and the other is to rely on the official family to still have a little trust in me, Sima Gong is not enough prestige now, and he will launch a fierce counterattack against Sima Gong, you think about it again, the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods."
