Lu Duan was afraid that this square and honest old master would misunderstand, and explained: "Liu Zhongcheng, the situation is like this. Many cranes were set up on both sides of the two rivers, and the two rivers gradually stabilized, and the Bian River transport gradually developed, saving manpower. Originally, people saved money, if they had nothing to do, they would not increase much, but many civilians were employed in Hezhou. For example, Wengweng, a family of three laborers, and one hardship, they could get six or seven pounds of money every month, which was a little tired, but at least doubled from the original income. Having these three and four pounds of money would be different from not having these three and four pounds of money. Once you have them, you can buy some new clothes and occasionally buy some meat."

The expenses of the two families are different. Liu Wensou has to support some servants, just like Song Jiu. No matter what he thinks, Yuping and the other three, Guo brothers and the old woman of the Zhang family, are actually equivalent to his family or servants. Not only do they have to provide food for them, but they also have to pay some compensation.

It’s just that Yu Ping doesn’t want it, and she keeps paying it. Can the Guo brothers not want it? Song Jiu has not taken the money for the old woman in the Zhang family to sew clothes, but raising her two grandsons is equivalent to paying salary. The difference is that Yu Ping’s savings are constantly decreasing.

Therefore, if the ministers have a high income and are really honest, unless they have a high position, have their own industry, or embezzle gifts, it will still be difficult for them to live a good life.

Three or four shreds of money are not big numbers.

Zhao Kuangyin took the spatula and forgot to turn it around, and he was thinking deeply.

He passed the hard days, but he never told people that if he had a few stakes of money in his hand, he would have food and clothing. If he had a few stakes of money in his hand, he could occasionally eat meat and wear new clothes. But it was very difficult and difficult. He couldn't say that he would not collect taxes. The real two taxes and the two taxes collected from small citizens in disguise were not large. It was only about 10 million, but this was a stone, a piece of money, and it was only five or six million. The main income of the imperial court was a specialty for salt, wine and tea, as well as some commercial taxes, and he bought and other levies.

Besides, even the ten million taels of taxes are not all levied from the poor people. The more the larger the family, the more they are. Although the implementation below is not the same, I am confident that I will make more progress than the previous dynasties. If I am exempted from all, these poor families will not really get better.

It was just a few dollars a month, but it made him feel embarrassed.

Zhao Kuangyi was anxious and snatched the spatula and flipped it over again. Although he started eating meat from time to time, he didn't eat meat every day. It was not easy, so don't burn it.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Weng Weng, I have benefited a lot from talking to you."

The old man couldn't understand, and he didn't seem to say anything. How to benefit the emperor, Zhao Kuangyin left, and the old man suddenly said, "Don't eat meat, give it to his ancestors."

Do you dare to eat this meat? The emperor and the two kings have fryed it. We are so lucky. I can't afford to enjoy it.

Zhao Kuangyin did not go into the house to see it, but he could smell it. He smelled the aroma of meat from time to time. It seemed that the family was eating meat. He sighed: "If the whole world is like this, how great it would be."

Song Jiu prepared the dishes.

Zhao Kuangyin tasted it and said, "No, it's better than the food in the palace."

Dozens of students who stayed on campus stared at each other, and Song Jiu said viciously: "You must believe Your Majesty's words. It's very simple in the palace. Look at the clothes and fabrics in Your Majesty's robe."

As he said that, he pulled Zhao Kuangyin's long sleeve apart, Liu Wensou wanted to say that Song Jiu could not touch the emperor, but without saying that, Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand a little "shamed" and said, "I am the lord of the world, so I should set an example."

However, the students have seen it. It is just a jute coat, the kind of thick veil coat that the people of Hezhou often wear. Dozens of students bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to be fooled by Your Majesty."

What a great emperor.

Song Jiu sighed in his heart. Zhao Kuangyin has the advantages of Zhao Kuangyin, but there are also many shortcomings.

Dozens of students were filled with emotion, which made Zhao Kuangyin very happy. He said to Zhao Kuangyi: "Second brother, these students are also very hard-working. Tomorrow, they will transfer some charcoal, pen, ink, paper and ink, and dozens of second-grade students have also put a lot of effort into the court during this period, each of which is rewarding ten thousand coins and twenty pieces of silk."

The sky is getting darker.

The king and his ministers also have to go back. They stepped onto the bridge of Dongshuimen, and Zhao Kuangyin looked into the distance. Song Jiu's rivers can make a lot of money, which is inevitable. However, it was not as easy as I thought. Song Jiu was equipped with a big brand and added more money, and asked to take the initiative to bear additional city tax, commercial tax and buy. He reduced his shares himself, which means that it is not enough to make a lot of money, and it must be a lot of lots.

But if you really do it, it might be an inspiration.

In the capital city, not only the Bian River, but also three canals, which are the Bian River. Wouldn't the North Bian River in the north of Hezhou be more beneficial than Hezhou? Moreover, the world is not only Bianliang City, but also more than a dozen large cities with developed commercial properties. If a land rent is more than 100,000 yuan a year, and thirty pieces of land are squeezed out, it is only 5 million yuan, and the two taxes can be eliminated!

Zhao Kuangyin underestimated Song Jiu a little. If he told Song Jiu this sentence, Song Jiu would definitely not agree. He could tell Zhao Kuangyin that even if the huge astronomical figures of more than 100 million yuan obtained by the Song Dynasty a year were inappropriate, he would still owe it if it was used improperly!

But I will probably see how much money I can make by this time next year.

Thinking of this, he turned his head and said to Song Jiu, "Song Jiu, you sent it here. Thank you for your hard work during this period, go back early."

"Here." Song Jiu was still standing on the bridge.

The imperial guards gradually became farther away, and Song Jiu looked at the distance again. In the distance, there was Xiatu Bridge. Zhao Kuangyin was filled with emotion when he saw the people eating meat. In fact, the people in Hezhou had not really improved. From the buildings, one Bian River and the north Bian River were very beautiful, with many luxury houses appearing. The houses in the south were still dilapidated, including the Song family's houses, and they were gradually being eliminated.

Mainly still transportation.

Song Jiu was thinking in his mind that if he pulled the lower earth bridge away, built a three-bridge fly bridge at the Sanbankou, built a pavilion at the tip of Hezhou, arranged some rockery, planted some trees, flowers and plants, and built a small square, this would not cost much. Maybe it would be possible to achieve it just a vegetable greenhouse.

However, he looked at the house and frowned.

That was not an arrangement for more than fifty households outside the city, with three rooms in name and three rooms, but actually two large rooms, the living room is a large room, the kitchen and utility room are small rooms, everything is two. The upper floor is a large room, the two second bedrooms are small rooms, plus the balcony and the small courtyard behind, one family has more than 80 yuan in money to solve the problem, and this is the placement of the people of Hezhou. The contract agreed at the beginning that the money was deducted from the contract share money and has nothing to do with Song Jiu.

However, although there are many households in Hezhou, some of the houses are broken and the area is not small, the typical ones are their own. If you want to rebuild, you will have to spend at least 200,000 yuan. Now there is not much profit to make in real estate, so you have to pay for the rebuilding money yourself.

There are more than 200,000 coins coming.

Without neat houses, even if the Sanfei Bridge is built, the river bank still cannot be better.

One river, two heavens!

When the night wind blew, Song Jiu couldn't help but fight a cold war. He suddenly thought of something, ran up and panted to catch up with the imperial guards. The soldiers didn't see clearly for a while and almost put them on his neck with a knife. Song Jiu shouted loudly: "Brother Soldier, I am Song Jiu."

This group of people is too critical. If there is a misunderstanding, killing yourself will be in vain.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at his sweaty look and laughed and asked, "Song Jiu, why are you catching up with me?"

"Your Majesty, I have soon studied a kind of thing that can solve the problem of keeping warm in half of the people in the capital and even the entire northern people, and its significance can also prevent some of the water and soil from deteriorating."

"Speak slower?" Zhao Kuangyin said.

"The Yellow River has been flooding for years. It is because of the deforestation of forests on both sides of the river. There are no tree roots to fix the soil. When the rainwater is poured, the sand and soil are rushing into the river together."

Some of this can be understood. For example, Zhao Kuangyin issued an edict to plant trees and willows on Bian Dike. Some Tubo people were dissatisfied with the Song Dynasty cutting down heavily in the Qinwei area. Song Jiu also said: "But this is helpless. Ink making, pine trees are needed, building houses are needed, and charcoal is needed to keep warm in winter. What can you do if you don't cut down trees?"

Zhao Pu's face slowed down.

"Weichen will invent a simple thing, and use smokeless charcoal instead of charcoal, which is cheap and reduces some of the deforestation."

"Is it the things in your vegetable greenhouse?"

"That's not OK. It's a large area of ​​combustion, large amount, fast combustion speed, and serious waste, which is not suitable for people to use. This is a new method. It is necessary to crush smokeless charcoal, make new coal made of yellow mud, a small amount of wood chips and lime, rather than the kind of carbohydrate balls used by people. It wastes less and has enough firepower. It can be sealed for up to six or seven hours, and it is not easy to get poisoned by coal."

This coal poison is the large amount of carbon monoxide produced when charcoal is burned.

Using anthracite will also produce carbon gasified, but it is not as serious as charcoal.

"Oh, that's a good thing."

"Your Majesty, but once it is popularized, it will inevitably require a large amount of water mill. The narrower the river water, the more intense the water flow, the easier it is to make a water mill, which will block the waterway. Just like the big tube truck that Weichen is about to build, it is located at the pier, and although it is a torrent, it will not affect the waterway. Therefore, I beg your Majesty to send officials to survey in advance, where people are allowed to arrange water mills and where they are not allowed to be filled, so as to avoid unnecessary disputes."

During this period, Song Jiu was dizzy when reading history books, and he saw some things. For example, many powerful men in the Tang Dynasty set up water mills on various rivers, stamped grains to make profits, and finally occupied water conservancy and waterways, which became a problem when the Tang Dynasty opened treasures. Now, it is much better than having trouble to demolish them when the time comes.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Second brother..."

"Your Majesty, not only Kaifeng Prefecture, but once it appears, it will become popular soon. It is necessary to issue an edict to prevent it nationwide in advance."

Zhao Pu said unhappily: "You try it before the capital."

"As for the order," Song Jiu said. Anyway, he said in advance, it was the court's business. He sent Zhao Kuangyin again. He returned to the river and came to Li's blacksmith's house. It was cold and it was time to build the stove. He drew a drawing and asked Li's blacksmith to make dozens of stoves. When he returned home, he asked Yuping: "What did Your Majesty say to you just now, which made you very happy."

"Your Majesty promises that my family will be at least a lady like in the future."

"Like Madam?" Song Jiu was silent.
