Chapter 646: Daxia Dragon Bird

Su You took out another long box and opened it. Inside was a rusty iron knife with a large ring behind it. The big ring was a wrapped dragon, and the head of the knife was inlaid with a bird shape made of gold: "This is a kind of

The knife Wu brought here is said to be a knife his father dug when he opened up Qingjian City. Can you cut it off?"

Liu Fengshi took the sword and said: "This is not a Central Plains type weapon. According to historical records of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Helian Bobo of the Xia Kingdom made a five-mouthed sword in the second year of Longsheng. The sword was three feet and nine inches long. The blade was cast with a golden dragon and the blade was decorated.

There is a sparrow ring."

"It seems that historical records and admission rumors also contain errors. This should be the true shape of the Helian Bobo Dragon Bird Sword."

"By the way, historical data also records that the knife was supposed to have the four-character inscription 'Ancient Sharp Weapon'... Ha, it sure does!"

Su You couldn't help but admire him: "Brother Liu is indeed a great talent!"

The Liu family had to accept this generous gift. In return, the Liu family opened the Mozhuang to Su You for reprinting and made a copy of the book in Kezhen Hall.

The Liu Family Library is as big as the Imperial Palace. The deeds of the two brothers Liu Chang and Liu Zong and their contribution to the history of Chinese civilization are definitely worthy of everyone’s memory.

Su You said: "His Majesty rewarded me with a mansion in the inner city, and I will live in the inner city from now on. However, the environment and academic atmosphere in Zhengtang are pretty good, so it will be used as the meeting place of the Jinshi Society from now on."

"But let's make it clear first that politics should be politics and academics should be academics. Don't let it become a source of dissent and embarrass the court."

Liu Fengshi sighed: "The state affairs are like this, why can't Mingrun speak up?"

Su You said: "When you are appointed as an attendant, of course you have to speak up. However, the country has its own system. As an official, you should set an example."

"There are channels for speaking out, but if Ke Zhentang changes its tone, it will give others a reason to attack. In the end, even this little thing will not be done."

Liu Fengshi also sighed: "The way of inner sage and outer king is easy for those who know it, but difficult for those who practice it."

Su You smiled and said: "Having these conversations in Mozhuang ruins the scholarly atmosphere in this house? Hurry and show me the treasures collected by Mr. Gongshi. It's serious. I'm here today to open my eyes!"

"Miscellaneous Notes of Sichuan": "After Xining, ancient utensils came out a little bit. The secret pavilions were so common that many were hidden and discarded.

Yuan's father was in Chang'an and obtained dozens of ancient and rare artifacts, which he wrote "Ancient Instruments of the Pre-Qin Dynasty".

Uncle Yong also liked this idea and wrote "Collection of Ancient Records".

In the fifth year of Xining, you returned to Beijing and discussed the "Xining Golden Stone Illustration" with Yuan's father and son Liu Zhongfeng.

Use utensils to verify history, interpret inscriptions, estimate age, and reflect scriptures and rituals.

The most important one is Shang Ding, the light one is Qiquan. The most important one is Wen Ye.

And Zhou Qiu prepared a description of considerable detail.

Therefore, every family of a scholar-bureaucrat takes pride in having a corner of their treasures hidden away.

Then he became a scholar and then became a ruler, Jun Mo and Dongpo Shugong.

The scholar-bureaucrats were also more elegant and liked it, so this trend changed.

It is still popular today, although the needle box in the inner room and the children's playthings are still regarded as ornamental toys by those who have passed the second century. The common people follow the trend here.

But the Zhou Gongpan, the Hancheng tripod, the swords of the Wu kings, the seals of the prime ministers of the Han Dynasty, and the measuring instruments from the pre-Qin to the Five Dynasties stored in the Kezhentang are all national treasures."

The fifth year of Xining was really a good year for Zhao Xu.

City Yiwu has made a lot of money. In just over half a year, with a built-in treasury of 1 million guan and a capital of 680,000 guan from Jingdong Road, Lu Jiawen earned more than 7 million guan!

This is much more powerful than Su You. Zhao Xu rewarded the officials in the city affairs and at the same time gave great benefits to the ministers.

Su You sneered at this achievement. You don't need to think about it to know that he made a profit of seven times the principal in half a year. Lu Jiawen was not Lu Buwei, and he didn't have any rare goods in his hands. Apart from searching as hard as he could, the bottom was dark and dirty.

Things are inevitable.

However, the Chinese New Year was not the time to make suggestions, so Su You had no choice but to act obedient in Shifu.

The salary system for officials in the Song Dynasty is very funny. Every month you have to file a report and apply for payment, and the government will pay you.

If you don't ask for it, the government will save it for you.

Many high-ranking officials in the Song Dynasty did not live on their salaries, or they could not use up the salary of the former leaders, so they did not ask for payment until the day of retirement. Moreover, most of them had to tell the court that they did not need to pay the full salary, and that the salary would be paid in which year and month, and the rice would be paid.

Which year and month is all that matters.

It's quite humane. Apart from troubling the household department, there's nothing wrong with it.

This phenomenon was not solved until the Huangsong Bank was established and officials' salaries were converted into treasure notes and distributed.

However, there are also many officials who never go to the bank to register their passbooks. As a result, the bank's 7,001 personal cash account files do not match the number of salary books in hand of the officials. At the end of each year, Huangsong Bank will take the initiative to ask for the salaries of the big bosses.

Add to them every step of the way.

But nowadays, this is a good opportunity to expand your network. Generally, lower-level salesmen cannot get this qualification. It is only a benefit for senior executives.

Cheng Wenying and Shi Dongxiu, two old men, often drank together.

When people get old, they like to reminisce about the past when they drink. Why are things in the world so bizarre? How did Song Dynasty and himself become what they are now step by step.

Zhao Hao and Zhao Zong'e, today's biological brothers and uncles, when they were in Meishan, these were figures that could not be reached in dreams. Now they are equal to themselves in the board of directors.

The CEO's seat is always vacant. There is a portrait on the wall behind the seat. It was the work of Wen Tong, the top painter of the Imperial Song Dynasty. Cheng Wenying managed to get out of the palace with great difficulty and hangs it here.

Bust of Zhao Xu.

The portrait is a silk painting, pressed with a glass plate, and has a golden nanmu frame. The first thing Cheng Wenying does when he comes to the president's office every day is to clean it, burn incense, and then pay a serious visit to His Majesty the Emperor.

Lord, Lord, Minister, this education they have received since childhood has long become something in their bones.

On the first day after the establishment of the Audit Department, the Audit Department made a special account book for the Municipal Affairs Bureau. Nowadays, it is impossible for large amounts of funds in Beijing to bypass Huangsong Bank.

The young man named Lu Jiawen and Wei Jizong, who first proposed the Market Change Law, had to open public accounts at Huangsong Bank in order to manage efficiently.

And the things they did can be traced in the bank accounts.

More evidence comes from the Ji Division and from inside Wang Anshi's own fortress.

Xue Xiang is now the Third Chief of Staff, but he has the word "power" in his name. There is nothing he can do about it. The old man's background is too low.

However, after the Yi Division achieved great results, it became extremely powerful. Now Lu Jiawen, with his new and cutting-edge attitude, is superior to Xue Xiang, which often makes it difficult for veteran cadres to step down.

Lao Xue's ideal is state capitalism, and Lu Jiawen, an economic hammer who only knows how to scrape, can't urinate in a pot.

Coupled with Mingrun's old roots in the middle and lower levels of the Planning Department, and Sitong Company's ten years of operation in the Bianjing business district, it was easy to get the things from the Yi Department.

However, Mingrun said it well, just do business quietly and stop losses reasonably. Businessmen should do what businessmen should do and are not allowed to interfere in government affairs.

In half a year, more than one million guan was turned into more than 7 million guan. In Cheng Wenying's eyes, this was not a great merit, but a great crime!

However, looking at Xining's five-year finance, from a book perspective, the New Party's achievements are indeed blinding.

Cheng Wenying now has a comprehensive understanding of the country's economy, and the foundation of Sitong Company has extended to all aspects of the Song Dynasty.

In the five years of Xining's reign, the state's fiscal surplus was more than 20 million yuan, twice the total of the five years of Yingzong's reign.

Qingtang and Jinghu expanded more than 2,000 miles of land and recruited hundreds of thousands of households.

According to the tax law for equal land area, plus several developments, more than 200,000 hectares of hidden land and new land were obtained.

The imperial court reduced the size of the Western Army to 200,000 loyal and brave soldiers, but its combat effectiveness increased instead of falling.

Cheng Wenying sometimes wondered if everyone should tighten their belts and wait a few more years to fill up the emperor's pile storage, and then let Mingrun lead the big soldiers to attack and strangle Xixia to death. The Song Dynasty

Doesn't this tone of voice relax?

The older generation has to endure more hardships and lay a good foundation for the next generation. Isn't this how China has been coming from generation to generation since the beginning of the third generation?

But Mingrun said that this idea is very dangerous. The correct approach for the Song Dynasty is to free up its due production capacity so that the vast majority of people can become taxpayers of the Song Dynasty, instead of swallowing up the huge burden of taxation and then the national treasury

Only then will you have money, your military will be strong, and you will have the ability to protect yourself and fight against others.

The former way of thinking is gambling heavily on the destiny of the country, while the latter way is the real way to govern the country.

Governing the country, the way... Everything in the world is like chess. The little urchin who shook his nose and taught the craftsmen how to make rulers in the Meishan workshop is now discussing the way to govern the country...
