"The prince concluded that Zhang Tianjue would definitely be dismissed, and he refused to help him, that is the one who wants to help the new one?" Huang Jingchen couldn't figure out Zhao Ta's path and asked cautiously.

"We can't manage the affairs of the court now, what we can do is to make money and manage our one-third of an acre of land!" Zhao Ta waved his hand and said, he still knew that he was a few catties and a few taels, and if he was mixed into the battle in the court, he would soon be eaten by those old oilers. He was very helpless at this time, and he also felt sad, and it was even more unkind to use the opportunity of Zhang Shangying's resignation to make money, but what could he do? What is even worse now is that since Wang Anshi changed the law in the reign of Emperor Shenzong, there have been constant party disputes, and it has been more than 40 years since the old and new party struggles and the internal disputes within the new party.

"Yes, above the court, now it is a wrong step, that is, there will be no recovery, and a few people can retreat!" Huang Jingchen has been in the palace for many years, and he has seen these things more thoroughly, and the current officials feel that the future is unpredictable in the political whirlpool, and they have learned to adapt to the situation and see the wind and steer the rudder. In terms of political views, the old and new factions are incompatible, and whether it is right or wrong, as long as you are in favor of it, I will oppose it. On the issue of party contention, both sides are masters, good at fighting in the nest, experts in civil wars, laymen in foreign wars, and those who are bullied by the outside give compensation for land cession, but they pinch their own people to death, and they are unscrupulous to exclude, persecute and retaliate against each other.

"After Lao Zhang left, there was no gentleman in my Great Song Dynasty, these people have read books all their lives, and they have talked about a set of big truths, but they have all let a group of villains clean up, and their books have been read into the dog's stomach!" Zhao Ta said with emotion, they all said that the big waves washed the sand, and the gentlemen in the court were all killed by the gentleman, exiled, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, Fan Zhongyan, Su Shi and Su Zhe Brothers, which were not handsome for a while, but none of them had a good end, and later generations commented that 'Song died in the gentleman, not in the villain', which is not unreasonable.

"Cut, Zhang Tianjue is not a gentleman, he used to be Cai Jing's party, and later he became a big mountain, but his talent is average, and he doesn't do much for political mediocrity, although he is not a humble gentleman, but he is still a good person compared to Cai Jing, at least he is not as bad as the Pope!" Huang Jingchen commented.

"The problem is also here, they all say' from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift difficult', Lao Zhang Weixiang overthrew Cai Jing's set, called on everyone to advocate thrift, embezzled a lot of money from the treasury to fill the deficit, but can't get money, the treasury is still empty, the finances are still tight, now you have no money in this society, and you are still asking everyone to live a hard life, who follows you!" Zhao Ta looked at Huang Jingchen and said with a playful look on his face.

"Hmph, don't look at me like that, I'm not that kind of person, when I first came here, you had nothing but illness!" Huang Jingchen was furious by Zhao Ta, and hurriedly defended.

"Hehe, I didn't say anything about you, you don't have that idea, what's the lack of heart!" Zhao Ta said with a smile, "Don't worry, we will make a fortune right away, even if I make up for you, Lao Zhang stepped down this time, Cai Jing will definitely revert, at that time, everything has to be restored to the original, and now some people still have Lao Cai Fa in their hands..." Zhao Ta hugged Huang Jingchen and whispered in his ear.

"Lord, I think the emperor should make you prime minister, you can think of this method!" After hearing this, Huang Jingchen looked up and down as if he didn't know him and said.

"Go, I'm a villain, at least I have to be a hypocrite to be a prime minister, I'm still far away!" Zhao Ta smiled and said, "I've prepared all the money for you, you should do it quickly, others are not stupid, when they find out, we won't even be able to drink the soup!" ”

"Well, I'm going to go down, and I'll order someone to go out and collect it everywhere tomorrow, and now this thing is like wiping paper, and it's estimated that it will be sold for a few dollars!" Huang Jingchen said.

"This matter must be done quickly, and secondly, it must be kept secret, and we must not let people know our purpose!" Zhao Ta advised, "Lao Zhang's downfall, there must be another group of people who are unlucky, then Huang Bo, you can send them some Cheng Yi, and if you can't open the pot under relief, it can be regarded as our thoughts, but don't go too far, let the official impeach, I will have to spend money to protect you then!" ”

"Lord Wang, you are too ... robbed them of their money, and gave them a little more, and I have to make people feel that I am grateful to Dade in the snow, I have to be careful in the future! "Huang Jingchen thought about it for a long time, but didn't come up with an appropriate word to express his 'indignation'. ,

"Hmph, old thing, if you don't get things done for me this time, I will stop your money, collect your minister's money, and let you stay in the house every day to drink porridge!" Zhao Ta said very cooperatively.

······

In the blink of an eye, in August, Zhang Shangying, as Zhao Ta said, Zhang Shangying was convicted of the "ten major crimes", resigned from power, and deposed from Beijing. In the year before and after, Shang Ying finished the play that this particular role should play, and now it is time to say goodbye to the stage. When he left Bianjing, he wrote a poem "Nanxiangzi", which can be regarded as a summary of his life: when he left Beijing in the evening, the drizzle and breeze were cold. The green grass bank on the willow embankment is impressive. Only within easy reach of people's hearts. The wine must be dry, and Mo Dao seems to be idle. If you use it, you will go against the world, why is it difficult!

"Lord Wang, Zhang Tianjue is gone, I have now collected 70,000 yuan of salt bills, and I have spent 100,000 yuan, and now I don't know who will be the prime minister, and it will not be smashed in our hands, right?" As soon as Huang Jingchen came back, he went straight to the Xia Yuan to find Zhao Ta, Lao Zhang stepped down, and he never appointed a new prime minister, and he had no bottom in his heart.

"Uncle Huang, you are so old, why can't you hold your breath, drink some tea first!" Zhao Ta hurriedly asked Huang Jingchen to sit down, and asked Jianxi to bring tea and said.

"Can I not be in a hurry, at first I was two money and one lead, and then people heard that I collected old salt, and the salt merchants flocked to it, and they were always willing to sell the money, and I was soft in my hand, and my heart was also up and down, if I couldn't buy salt in the future, I would not lose money!" Huang Jingchen saw Zhao Ta laughing at him, pointed to the burning bubbles on the corners of his mouth and said.

"Uncle Huang, now you are supporting the bold, starving the cowardly, the more you collect now, the more we will earn in the future, don't be afraid, you continue to collect, until the remaining 100,000 guan is spent cleanly, isn't the loss 200,000 guan, just treat us as if we did it for nothing this year!" Zhao Tan said nonchalantly.

"Lord Wang, you are really full now, you don't know how to be hungry, hungry men are hungry!" After listening to Zhao Ta's words, Huang Jingchen choked the tea to death, "The family has a lot of money, which means that a family with 10,000 guan is a first-class family, and if you throw it away, you will throw it if you say 200,000 yuan!" ”

"Uncle Huang, don't worry!" Zhao Ta slapped Huang Jingchen on the back a few times, making him say casually, "Huang Boke remembers what happened when Cai Jing regained his appearance at the beginning of Chongning?" ”

"Oh, what does the prince mean is that Cai Jing really wants to regain his phase again this time?" Zhao Ta woke up the dreamer with a word, Huang Jingchen is an old man in the palace, how could he not know that there was a turmoil caused by Cai Jing's restructuring that year!

Salt is indispensable in people's lives and has always been monopolized by the Northern Song Dynasty government. In the northwest region, the "salt money" policy was practiced by asking merchants to pay money to the local government, and then exchange it for "salt money" to buy official salt. In the southeast region, it is monopolized by the local government, and the salt money is divided into two, one part is handed over to the central government, and the other part is reserved for the local government.

Cai Jing presided over the lecture department for the queen minister, and in order to improve the situation of the fiscal deficit, he completely changed the "salt money" policy. He asked the salt merchants to pay money to the central government, and then exchanged "salt money" to buy salt in the local area. In this way, the salt profits belonged to the central government, and the local government could not catch the birds, and this policy had an immediate effect, and the treasury was quickly filled. But there is still a problem here, that is, the government's salt banknotes are often replaced, the old banknotes are not used up, and the new banknotes are issued again, and the old money can only be exchanged for the new one. It often costs three times as much money to get a piece of goods. If there is no money to exchange for new salt banknotes, all the old banknotes are wasted, and many businessmen are forced to go bankrupt or even bankrupt.

In order to maintain the new image of the New Deal, Cai Jing believed that the imperial court did not repay the old salt banknotes, distrusted the people, and hindered the dignity of the great power and state of the Celestial Empire. This news was soon known to some ministers of the DPRK and China, who mobilized their relatives of salt merchants and immediately bought a lot of old salt banknotes at a low price. Soon, the merchants rushed to the capital to exchange salt money, and it was quite difficult to buy salt money, and these people who started early not only made a lot of money by reselling the exchanged salt money, but also got the top items in the court early, and later sold out of the money, and it was a large amount of income, one in and one out, and the money earned was not more than 10 million.

"Yes, Cai Jing is a good hand at holding money, his father is now short of money, he will definitely use him as a minister, after Lao Zhang came to power, he denied his policy, the salt banknotes he issued back then were scrapped, or could not redeem salt, Cai Jing wanted to make political achievements soon after coming to power, in addition to tea, it was salt, in order to catch big fish, he would repeat his old tricks at the beginning, let's take the opportunity to make some oil and water, now you are the province of the inner servant, up and down are familiar, when the time comes, you have to give yourself some convenience, from the left library to get some good things!" Zhao Ta saw that Huang Jingchen's face had changed a few times, and he knew that he had figured it out, and said with a smile.

"Ha Luha, the people who manage the Zuo Zang Treasury are my disciples and grandchildren, and they dare to disobey me and pick their skins!" Huang Jingchen grinned, this money is easy to come by.

"Then don't be idle, hurry up and continue to collect, when the time comes, we will go at a low price, and we can earn it 1.8 million yuan, you can also learn from Tong Guan and them, marry a few wives and play with them!" Zhao Ta joked to him, don't be surprised, it was legal for eunuchs in the Song Dynasty to marry wives, and the big eunuchs could buy houses and land outside, and they could go home to live when they had nothing to do, and they didn't always have to stay in the palace, which is also a major feature!

"Hehe, I don't have the Yaxing of Tongguan, I am very content with the prince, but I don't know when Cai Jing will regain his appearance!" Huang Jingchen couldn't wait a little and asked again.

"Uncle Huang, Lao Cai is still in Hangzhou for the elderly, and he will have to wait for March next year at the earliest!" Zhao Ta said, "Now we still have a big thing to do, the three-year mourning period of Queen Daxing is about to expire, and Niangniang is about to be canonized as the queen, I should express it as a son!" ”

"A good thing, this is a great thing, you must make the mother happy, what can you give..." Huang Jingchen looked at Zhao Ta and felt beautiful in his heart, it was good to follow a disciple of an immortal, and he could walk ahead of others in everything.
