Wang Ju didn't know that someone behind him could actually expect him to take out more than one million armor-treating tools...

The conversation continues.;

Just chatting, Wang Ju didn't want to get into evil, and these two people were indeed two officials. Especially Zhang Dun, if he could fight to the queen in history, the Northern Song Dynasty might not have perished. But it was not very good. With Hebei's current defensive power, even if there was no maritime alliance, the Jurchens would sooner or later after the rise of the Jurchens. The Northern Song Dynasty would have to be completed by then.

The Jurchens... Wang Ju can't think about it anymore. When he thinks of various problems, he will also go crazy.

Lu Zhang and the other two simply wanted to have a good relationship.

So the three of them had a rather speculative conversation.

Zhang Dun said: "Zi'an, I wonder how much profit can Kapok Shi make in a year?"

"This is not easy to say. Let me talk about the first year first, although the scale of the in-house warehouse operation was not large last year."

It's actually not small, but compared to Sansi's move, it's not a big deal.

"But I have been planning and arranging personnel since last spring. Since last autumn, the officials of Guangnan East Road and Fujian Road have begun to cooperate in the implementation. Therefore, the time is abundant. But this year, the Sansi Department has only started to take action after seeing the benefits of Kapok. It is estimated that the various edicts have been barely reached by the officials of Guangnan East Road. Even if the officials of Guangnan East Road are now starting to make preparations for the people, the number is too large and it is not easy to initiate the people's service. If the people want to do the people, they must pay some money to recruit the people in moderation."

"Yes, this is true. Cheng Shimeng wrote a letter to mention this matter, and the official agreed." Lu Huiqing said.

It turns out that Wang Ju was worried in vain.

"That's good, but the time is still limited. Most of the first lunar month is a festival. People also want to take a break. In February, the people will start spring farming production. How much farmland can be reclaimed in such a short time? Besides, the embankment must be enclosed. The embankment must be leveled out and houses must be built."

“Yes, the time is too short.”

"Then next year, this time will be abundant, and Kapok makes profits, Sansi will also have an economy in his hands and expand its scale. But I also told the official in the palace that the actual cost of a quilt is only three to four hundred cents."

"That's the money?"

"Ji Fu. I'll tell you that one acre of land produces more than fifty kilograms of clean cotton, and can spin seven quilts. I plan to harvest seven stones of rice in one acre of land."

"It is impossible to have such a high yield." Zhang Dun said.

"Let's use a metaphor. Besides, growing cotton is more tiring than growing rice. Especially during the cotton picking season, it doesn't even take a sip of water. If it's late, the cotton will rot in the fields. The price of a stone of rice is only more than 200 yuan on Guangnan East Road. That is, when cotton is purchased, a bed of only 200 yuan is only 200 yuan, spinning and processing, freight, plus a simple cotton cover. The tax is more than 400 yuan. Why can you sell twenty-five jin? Scarce is expensive. Once there are too many, the price will gradually fall."

"So that's it."

"But Brother Ji Fu, Brother Zihou, don't worry. Let me talk about its needs. Even if it is on Fujian Road, it will be a little cold in winter."

"It will be cold in late winter, and there will also be frost." Lu Huiqing said. They are all Jianjian people, how can they not know? However, the weather is very rare and close to zero degrees there. Even in late winter, there are several degrees of temperatures. But it is definitely not as good as Lingnan.

"I believe that cotton products can be used after they become popular, right?"

"If it's cheap, you'll need a thin quilt."

"That's it, let alone the Yangtze River area. What about Liao, Xixia, Goryeo, Japan, Hehuang and Tubo? How many households have the demand? If there are too many, the price will inevitably drop, but the demand will be too large and will not drop to the peak. In the past ten years, the profits have been very generous. How much profit is determined by the market, I dare not make a rash prediction. But the Sansi will make a lot of profits because of this. Therefore, I did not object to the government. Besides, once it is promoted, Guangdong and Guangxi will bring benefits to the court, and solve the pressure on the population of Fujian Road and Jiangnan Xixia. It is a move that benefits the country and the people."

"Then I'll feel relieved."

"But Brother Zihou remember that no matter how much money the businessmen make, they will still leave it to them to operate."

However, this time was destined to disappoint Wang Ju. Whether it was Wang Anshi or Zhao Xu who saw the price of a quilt rose to twenty-five stakes, all his eyes turned green, it was impossible for him to leave it to a businessman to run it.

"Brother Zi'an, a strange man has come to the capital." Lu Huiqing said: "Myth, talent, and articles are unmatched by anyone in the ages."

"oh."

"I was in the wilderness and felt sorry for this head of Guizhou. If I don't have enough food in the good times, there will be no flood or drought? Even if there is no robbery, if not soon, I will be worried about the officials' actions, and the disaster will be in the ten-household houses.

The land of the land was defeated by millet and wheat, and wanted to complain that there was no money. During the visit, the gates were lucky enough to see the province and followed them. Moreover, the old and weak became stalemates. The state family was closed and the county officials were whipped and rented.

The neighbors of the village fought for two battles, and they caught a small amount of money. They took a tiny official and said they were rich. They were so happy that they thought they were the people's parents. They came to the deserted county and were often ashamed of guilt.

I am sad about the past, but now I am holding on to the blame. I take advantage of the sages to encourage me, and I am not afraid of internal lawsuits, but I am worried about my colleagues."

"Sadness and compassion for others..." Wang Judao.

To be honest, Wang Anshi is indeed good in morality. Although he is not as talented as Fan Zhongyan, his talent is better than Fan Zhongyan.

With Wang Anshi's talent, this poem "Touching Things" is written very ordinary.

But we can see the poet's mentality, his sympathy for the people, his hatred for violent officials and greedy gentry.

"This is his feelings. Zi'an, listen to this little order again and climb to see you. In the late autumn of my hometown, the weather is solemn. Thousands of miles of clear rivers are like a cliff, and green peaks are like clusters. Returning sails go to the setting sun, carrying the west wind, and the wine flag stands slanted. The colorful boats are light in the clouds, the galaxy egret rises, and the paintings are hard to draw.

Thinking of the past, the prosperity is competing, sighing at the entrance of the building outside the door, and the sadness and hatred continue. The eternal heights are high, and I sigh at the honor and disgrace. The old events of the Six Dynasties are like flowing water, but the cold smoke and the decayed grass is green. To this day, the Shang women still sing the song "The Back Court" at all times."

After Lu Huiqing finished reciting, he seemed to be still savoring it, and said: "In the long and short sentences of ancient and modern times, it is the first."

There are many Song lyrics that are well written, such as Su Dongpo's Nian Jiaonu, the water tune song title, and the two songs Jiangchengzi.

Although Zhou Bangyan was praised as the number one poet of the Northern Song Dynasty because of his suppression of music, some small words were indeed written well.

But even among these excellent Song lyrics, this song Guizhixiang is still one of the best, and can at least squeeze into the top three! At least it is indeed the first place now! Even Su Dongpo saw it and was amazed. This old man is a wild fox spirit! He scared Da Su.

Moreover, as soon as this song was released, it was sung in the capital the next year, but Wang Ju didn't know about it if he was not in the capital.

Wang Ju said calmly: "It was made by Mr. Jiefu?"

"Yes, I'm talking to the prince and admire him very much."

"The country needs a bunch of materials to manage. It's getting late, so I came here for a long distance and had to go back and rest." Wang Ju said.

The three of them did have a long conversation, and Lu Huiqing and Zhang Dun couldn't stay for a long time. But Lu Huiqing was a little depressed, and I haven't introduced Wang Anshi yet.

Wang Ju went down the next day.

If it weren't for someone with a heart, I wouldn't know that Wang Ju had come to the capital.

Zhao Xu started to take action and had to pave the way for reform.

Qu Yuan died halfway through the road. He was a minister and I was the emperor and would not die. He also made a mistake. Qu Yuan died halfway through the road. If he continued to develop into history, he died in the coffin...

Zhao Xu summoned all the important officials to Yanhe Palace to discuss matters. First, he said: "Since my succession, my finances have been scarce since I ascended the throne. Zhao Qing (Zhao Yan) said six redemptions, Wang Tao said redemptions, I also laid off 250,000 troops, and auctioned Fangchang Hedu one after another, and the profits of Kapok were all used for the state. He also handed over the pearl dragon head of the warehouse to the state for goods and goods. Why is the finances still scarce?"

Lu Gongbi said: "Although the troops were laid off, the redundant soldiers in the world were still heavy. Now there are 540,000 ban soldiers, 370,000 fang soldiers, and tens of thousands of soldiers fell with Poche. The number of officers and soldiers raised alone reached more than one million. How can the finances improve? Moreover, the layoffs need to be resettled, and it will be slightly reversed in two or three years. I will report to you again. Originally, the layoffs were a good rule, but Zheng Baiqu added the officers and soldiers of the Forty-sixth Battalion, and went upstream, resulting in the Poches of the Forty-sixth Battalion without armor. Please consider it."

"Where are the armored weapons that have been eliminated?"

"They used to use paper armor and cloth armor, but they were actually clothes. As they were eliminated, they were also taken back. Where did they have armor?"

"That is, they were no armor before, so why didn't they report to me? How many soldiers in the imperial guards did not have armor?"

"This happened in many cases, but not in our dynasty, but in the Renzong dynasty, the late emperor dynasty, and even in the Taizu dynasty, Taizong dynasty, and Zhenzong dynasty. After all, how can we get so many troops one by one?" Lu Gongbi replied, don't ask me, it has nothing to do with me, and even more so with the current Western Palace.

"What about the weapons?"

"The weapons that can be used have also been kept by the officers and soldiers of the battalions. Only those that cannot be used will be handed over to the Poche Army. After the trial there, they were not retained and all were handed over to Jingzhao Mansion to recast or destroy. The Poches of the Forty-sixth Battalion now has no armor and no weapons. If it is equipment, it requires a considerable amount of money..."

"I won't say anything more. The country is corrupt, and it's corrupt. I'll sell pearl dragon brain this year. What else can I sell next year? Can I sell this?" Zhao Xu raised the jade seal and said.

He was talking angeredly, just selling, and someone would dare to buy it.

But if this jade seal is sold, it would be disgusting. Sima Guang dared not say that as long as the person is used well, the country will be governed. Zhao Xu was forced, and Sima Guang was forced to do nothing, so he fooled him, and wanted to cure a county well, and had to use a good magistrate. If those people are good magistrates, they had to use a good magistrate, and they wanted to know that those people were good magistrates, and they had to use a good fortune magistrate, and they wanted to know that those were good fortune magistrates, and they had to use a good fortune magistrate. In other words, the prime minister was used well, and the country would be governed well. So those people were good prime ministers, Lu Hui, Lu Gongzhu and others were all his good friends... In other words, use him well and use his good friends, and the world's great harmony was coming soon.

But Zhao Xu was very proud in his heart. This trick worked.

When it comes to qi, I was so angry that I was numb, so why bother to get angry today?

He also said: "Some people say redundant soldiers, some people say redundant officials. Bao Zheng wrote a letter in the past, saying that the world's civil and military officers were only 35,000 during the reign of Emperor Taizu, and 9,785 civil and military officers were all over the world during the reign of Emperor Jingdexiangfu, but it increased to more than 17,300 during the reign of Emperor Huangyou. However, Bao Zheng said that there were 320 states and 1,250 counties in the country, and 5,600 officials were needed. But now I have investigated and found that the world's officials have reached more than 25,000. Even a rumor is left in China and abroad, and there are three missing ones. What is the meaning of missing three supplements? If a commission official comes out, at least three officials are waiting for the candidates!"

Including Miao Sui. Before Miao Sui was appointed, he was the deputy envoy of the Supply and Preparation Deposit, not the Lord in charge of the Supply and Preparation Deposit. This is a military official who has his position but no power, and he is also waiting at home for a candidate.

"If this continues, is my Song Dynasty preparing for 50,000 officials?"

Everyone was silent and dared not speak.

No matter what, the number of officials is really too redundant and too crap.

Zhao Xu felt a chill in his heart, and he thought of Wang Ju's five-distraction. This is the group of loyal and good officials who were raised with high salaries in the future.
