This is how reform is decided. Sometimes it is a word, sometimes it is an idea. Of course, we must first look at the person's identity and status. Wang Anshi's current status is far from being as prominent as history said. If he stands too early,
The opposite of a scholar-bureaucrat will die miserably.
Just tell him about the practices of banks in later generations, which are the best weapons for robbery. While the people of the Song Dynasty are enjoying the convenience brought by banks, they wonder if they will be scolded if they receive services like robbery with a smile from banks.
.
Anyway, a real man like Li Kui will definitely come to the door with an ax and kill him. It can be regarded as a card slave like Yun Zheng. The house slave breathed a sigh of relief and thought of the mountains he was carrying on his back in later generations. Yun Zheng said
Inexplicably sad.
I don’t know what kind of flowers a standard product of capital society like the banking industry can bloom in the feudal dynasty. This is not what Yunzheng can predict. Wild rice can breed high-yielding rice seeds. I wonder if the banking industry can produce
A new variant.
Wang Anshi walked impassionedly in the heavy rain. Yun Zheng raised his wine glass to bless him. He has been famous among the people for thirty years and has to do something. If this person did not exist in history, the history of Song Dynasty would be nothing to see.
.
Sitting cross-legged in the grass cave, high spirits and high spirits, it was raining heavily outside the cave entrance, and a new wave of guests were welcomed into the grass cave. Lu Qingqing and Ge Qiuyan, holding up their skirts and umbrellas, happily squeezed into the grass cave.
Lu Qingqing, who had never had such an experience, smiled the happiest...
The summer rainstorm came violently and went away quickly. Yun Zheng had just slept for a while with his wife in his arms. It was already clear outside the grass cave, and a rainbow hung in the blue sky, which was very beautiful in the daytime.
Li Chang was very happy in Xunyang. After his confrontation with Yun Zheng, he never found anything strange around him. He had just returned from Liangshanbo and was very satisfied with the farming there. A busy construction site manager
It can bring about some positive emotions in people.
If you want to settle land, the first thing you need to do is to control water conservancy. Dams, densely packed small wharves, and countless water diversion channels gradually appeared on the chaotic waterfront. Fires burning reeds beside the waterfront continued day and night.
, on the land burned by the fire, before the residual heat dissipates, a plow group consisting of a hundred cattle will immediately turn the black grass ash into the field, and behind the cattle, countless women and children will dig it out again
Reed roots are picked out from the fields and piled into tall haystacks. Once dried, they are used as firewood for boiling water and cooking.
The efficiency of collectivized operations is very high. Seeing the vast stretches of farmland extending into the distance, Li Chang's desire to make money seems to have faded away. Walking on the embankment, he imagined over and over again the beginning of next spring.
At that time, the place was full of wheat seedlings. He even imagined how the wheat waves would look like during the summer harvest. There were six such military settlements, each of which was a huge settlement with tens of thousands of people. Within three years, this place would inevitably be
Two or three more counties will be established. What a credit this is.
Of course, once these scenarios become a reality, Li Chang believes that he is qualified to stand in the Chui Gong Palace and ask for a more important official position from the emperor and prime minister. Such a sense of accomplishment is definitely not comparable to relying on his own career path or enduring seniority to get promoted.
It's just that the soldiers caught a lot of fish, and these fish have been dried into salted fish. It is difficult for the young Imperial College students to sell all these fish.
When he thought of this, Li Chang's back straightened up. In the final analysis, he had to rely on a mature and prudent official like himself to do this kind of thing. Ten coppers per pound of salted fish? These idiots, what is salted fish? It's fish and salt.
A pound of salt in Tokyo costs fifteen coppers. A pound of plump salted fish here can’t beat the price of a pound of salt?
These prodigal sons, the salt used by the soldiers is provided by the imperial court. Although it is free of charge, is it not capital? The supervisors are a bunch of fools who don't eat minced meat, so the whip is considered a light one.
The old servant opened the door and found a large bowl of snow-white rice on a wooden plate, a plate of fried brown salted fish, a small plate of green vegetables, and a bowl of egg drop soup. This was Li Chang's current lunch.
He has no teeth in his mouth, so these salted fish are steamed first and then fried in oil. So when he picked it up with chopsticks, it turned into minced meat. Li Chang covered the minced meat on the white rice and dug in with a spoon.
, this way of eating is the last meal, he likes it very much.
"Master, there was something wrong with your whipping yesterday. There were young masters from Mr. Han's family, young masters from Mr. Chu's family, Zhang's family, and Wang's family. They were all pampered and raised. Is it possible?
Are you going to be jealous of others?" The old servant asked in a low voice while serving soup to the master. Yesterday, his master was furious, and none of the prison guards escaped the caning.
Li Chang said with a smile: "You know what, sir, if I didn't whip them yesterday, those big shots would be angry. Look, within three days, the handwritten thank-you letters from those big shots will be placed in your house, sir."
On my desk, this whip is not for your master to vent his anger or punish anyone, but to teach them to be smart. At that moment, I am the master. If you say that the master beats the students, which adult will go to the master?
The trouble? Why don't you rush to the door to apologize?"
The old servant cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I am wise, but this time there are so many salted fish in Liangshanbo. I said that I will sell them all in Tokyo. Isn't it a bit too full? As far as the old servant knows,
The profit from this salted fish is good, but the shops selling salted fish in the north and south have always been the property of Liu Shangshu's family. If we sell salted fish in Tokyo, will we offend Liu Shangshu?"
Li Chang put down his spoon and said with a smile: "Li An, sir, let me ask you, are these salted fish ours?"
Li An quickly said: "These salted fish belong to the garrison, and the master has already said that our family will not get a penny of profit from them! So it has nothing to do with our family."
Li Chang said with a smile: "Since I am stationed in the army, selling salted fish may seem lowly, but whoever dares to stop me from selling salted fish in Tokyo city, I will dare to go to the Golden Palace to argue with him! Neither did Liu Shangshu.
If you dare to say one more word, even if I, your master, smell like salted fish, those Qingliu people will definitely bow down and call me Mr. Dongchu when they see me. Who dares to look down upon me as I am doing lowly service for the country and the people!"
Li An nodded repeatedly in praise, and what he said is true, as long as the master does not take a penny from it, no one can do anything to the master. The master is a public official, and reputation is far more important than demeanor, but the profits of these salted fish are really huge.
Some……
Li often saw his most loyal old servant's eyes rolling around and knew what he was thinking. He picked up his chopsticks and hit the book boy who grew up with him on the head and said with a smile: "You have no future and you are obsessed with money again."
Now, go and tell the steward who came over from home. This time, our family won’t be able to get a penny from selling salted fish. If anyone dares to reach out, it will be considered as the end of their lives, and the dignity of the old people of several lifetimes will be lost. When the time comes,
Don’t blame me for being cruel!”
After Li Chang finished speaking, he saw that although Li An was convinced, there was a look of regret on his face, so he laughed dumbly, pointed to a box in the back room with his chopsticks, and motioned for Li An to drag it over.
Seeing his old servant struggling to drag it out, he asked him to open it and started eating again leisurely.
Li An opened the box and his eyes immediately widened. The box was full of gold and jewelry, the silver ingots were full of blood, and some luxurious rings even had pieces of fingers. As soon as the box was opened, the smell of blood hit his nostrils.
This is stolen goods! Li An quickly closed the box, his face turned pale, and he pointed at the box with trembling fingers. He was so frightened that he didn't know what to say. Having this thing in the hands of a civil servant meant that his master was seeking wealth and death.
Li Chang laughed and put down his rice bowl, came to Li An's side, opened the box, took out a piece of silver from it, wiped the blood on it with a handkerchief and said, "Don't you understand? The silver from selling salted fish is in your hand.
It's a hot potato, but these bloody silver are the cleanest silver in your hands. Even if Pang Ji saw it, he would only say congratulations and would have no other thoughts.
Master, I am now a supervisor, and I am also a supervisor of the most elite army in the Song Dynasty. You will often see this kind of bloody silver in the future."
Li An suddenly realized: "Master, could it be said that all this money is a bonus given to you after the army suppressed the bandits?"
Li Chang nodded and said: "Last time, sir, I went to Tokyo to discuss with Yun Zheng. Actually, I wanted to reassure him that I have no plans to do anything in the army. As long as I ensure that my reputation is not damaged, my benefits will not be cut off. As for other things,
Yunzheng will take care of it.
When it comes to marching and fighting, even a hundred masters are no match for Yun Zheng, so I simply explain to him that we are not here to compete with him for military power. What is the use of having military power in my hands? Do you want your master to go to the platoon?
Arrange the troops? Once on the battlefield, if you and I cannot see clearly the situation and blindly fight for military power with Yun Butcher, he will have ten thousand ways to kill our master and servant. Do you believe that His Majesty will never make peace just because we lose our lives?
If Butcher Yun can't get through, he will only send another supervisor down."
Li An said with admiration: "So last time, the master showed weakness to the enemy and deliberately comforted Butcher Yun so that he could feel at ease?"
Li Chang smiled bitterly and said: "That's what I mean, but sir, I am really afraid of this butcher. He has no rules at all and beats others at every turn. After becoming an official, he still behaves wantonly, but it is easiest to follow such an official.
In the past few years, my master and I have been like grasshoppers on a rope, so we have to learn from his style to become an official. This is your master's way of being an official!"
Li An chuckled and said: "Butcher Yun is like Huo Qubing in ancient times. He will never treat me badly...so I won't treat you, the second most powerful person in the army, badly!"
After hearing this, Li Chang laughed loudly, knocked on the empty bowl, and motioned to Li An to fill another bowl for him... (To be continued)
