Chapter 241 Jin Gui
Zhao Kuangyin asked him to sit down and first asked: "Song Jiu, I heard that your family had 100,000 daughters and 30,000 servants?"
Song Jiu was a little sweating and said, "Your Majesty, the sky is great, the earth is great, and human life is the second most important, so it is said that human life is at the center of heaven and cannot be measured by price."
"Not to say this," Zhao Kuangyin didn't want to talk much. This boy was too soft-hearted. Even if he went to the battlefield, his temperament had not become decisive yet. What kind of servant's life is worth 30,000 yuan! He asked, "What's wrong with you here today?"
"Your Majesty, I ask you to choose fifteen wastelands in river valleys and try to determine the pastoral and maintenance."
Zhao Kuangyin had known it a long time ago, and the money was insufficient. If he had been delayed to this day, he would probably have dividends soon. He was not a little money, but he had a wealthy economy and finally started. After thinking about it, he asked, "Why are there only fifteen places?"
"Weichen also knows that the number is too small, but what we are doing is a demonstration, so we cannot choose places with abundant water and grass and developed transportation, and we cannot occupy fertile fields. Therefore, we need to make a way to build a road, then renovate it, and then set up some water conservancy and farming equipment. In order to achieve the effect and facilitate the management of affairs, we must at least horde hundreds, thousands of large livestock, thousands or even tens of thousands of poultry. This is almost the most capable figure among the people. If we talk about plague, so many are the most likely to produce various plagues. If there is any problem, it will have the most problems. Then as long as it succeeds, it will basically be promoted. Otherwise, there will be no problem and try to raise it. Then, each place will be expensive."
"That's right," Zhao Kuangyin finally understood. This was like that cement, and he used money to make all kinds of experiences.
"In another four or five years, this place will be basically released. The court will take them one by one to the rich families in various states to operate them. The Wei ministers would have a better hand at that time and could operate thirty places. After four or five years, they would have been operating for more than 40 places. This would have been almost all over the country. It is not only a fixed herd and fixed farming. It involves a lot, including the planting of various forage trees, fruit trees and economic wood, as well as various fruits and vegetables, various grains, and even fish and water breeding. The situation is different in different places. As long as these sixty places are managed, they will explore their experience and edit it, it will be the best agricultural book in our dynasty. The second is to improve the lives of the people. Especially the cattle. This is a fixed herd, as long as it is a fixed herd, as long as it is a good place to explore the experience and edit it.
After checking the quantity, you can slaughter it and use it to impact the price of beef. Moreover, with more poultry and livestock, the price of beef will further fall. The court used some methods to make the price of cattle slightly higher, and exempt all cattle, horses, donkeys and mules from taxation. After decades, the plowing oxen nationwide will no longer be nervous. If Your Majesty listened to the advice of the minister, import meat from the divination and even used some methods to import sea fish in large quantities, the problem of cattle will slow down further. Although it is a little slower, it will not be slower. As long as they succeed, some people will imitate it one after another. The most important thing is to let the people learn by themselves, and not to worry about the people. The main reason for the rule of Wen and Jing is that it is not to be inaction."
"I'm sure. As long as the surroundings are not intertwined with the people, the real wilderness and valleys will be chosen by Ren Qing!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Don't thank you, you are not for yourself, but for this country." Zhao Kuangyin said. In fact, Song Jiu spent money, and then the court benefited, even the auction money was returned to the court. What should I do to thank? I paused and said, "Song Jiu, what do you think of the Southern Han?"
"Yelang, and it is the dark and cruel Yelang Kingdom!"
"Can I attack the Southern Han?"
"Your Majesty, you should ask Mr. Zhao and Mr. Li about this matter, how should I ask Mr. Husband?"
"I am very worried. I have been controversial in the two attacks of the country, so I will avoid the possibility of another mistake. This time, I want you to follow the army to supervise you. You are Pan Mei's maternal son, and Pan Mei is your maternal father. You can persuade you, Pan Mei will not resist."
"Ah, let Weichen go?"
"Are you afraid of hardship?"
"It's not because I'm afraid of hardship. General Pan did a good job in Hunan. It won't work for me to go, and I have so many affairs."
"Pan Mei is a martial artist in the end. If there were no Li Chao, where would Binzhou City be there?"
Song Jiu was stunned. It turned out that Zhao Kuangyin knew about this. He had to bite the bullet and said, "When will the imperial court attack the Southern Han in the south?"
It seems that the southern expedition was fast this time, so I thought he had gone to Taiyuan City again. Anyway, Zhao Kuangyin was uncomfortable, so it would be better to be more cheerful.
"When do you think?"
"If you attack next year, the economy will be a little tight this year..." Song Jiu said. He didn't know before that Zhao Kuangyin had three years of Jianlong, Gande and Kaibao, so why was it said that it was the prosperous era of Jianlong? He only noticed it slowly after he arrived in the Third Division.
During the Jianlong period, the country also had wars, and the scale was still very large. The two rebellions were no less than the war in Taiyuan. However, the country paid attention to rest and restoration, and light taxes and reduced accumulation, so it recovered quickly. In recent years, the country's fiscal revenue increased rapidly and also increased, but various expenses gradually became corrupt. For example, there would be no cattle rent during the Chai Rong period, and the cattle were handed over to the people together, and the court could not take this money. After doing morality, it gradually picked up. For example, commercial taxes were not standardized, and the wealthy did not pay taxes, but as long as they were powerful people, they would never pay taxes under the leadership of Zhao Pu.
All of this has little to do with Zhao Kuangyin. In fact, Zhao Kuangyin issued many edicts to treat the people well and relax taxes. However, when it comes to the following, it gets stuck wherever the Secretariat is. The reason is very simple. During the Jianlong period, the prime minister was Fan Zhi, Wang Pu and Wei Renpu, and they implemented Chai Rong's policy of governing the country. Later, Zhao Pu became prime minister and added and revised the regulations, and gradually became unreliable.
Maybe I thought it was dark, but at this time I could see some signs of the Song Dynasty in the future.
Just like this year, in the war in Taiyuan, the national finances immediately became tight.
Zhao Kuangyin didn't know what Song Jiu was thinking, nor did he know that Song Jiu's evaluation of him was slightly inferior to Chai Rong. He said, "This year is not possible, and I don't want to attack him. He has sent an envoy to inform Li Yu to persuade the Lord of the Southern Han on my behalf. As long as he surrenders to our dynasty, I will not transfer the army in person."
"Your Majesty, can Lord Tang convince him?"
"A large army must also make the name clear before it can be a righteous army."
To fight against the Southern Han, you still need to be justified? Song Jiu stopped talking, and Zhao Kuangyin said again: "If you attack, you should not abuse the Lord of the Southern Han. I want him to come to the capital alive."
I will be killed sooner or later when I arrive in the capital, so I plucked up my courage and asked, "Your Majesty, can I kick him a few times in his affairs?"
"That thing... you need to kick it gently, not to break it. It is very expensive and the price is more than 60,000 yuan."
Song Jiu couldn't help but lower his head and smiled.
"Let me have dinner with you."
It is not necessarily a happy thing to accompany Zhao Kuangyin to have supper. It can only be said that the meaning is important, which means that the emperor loves you. Song Jiu said: "Thank you Your Majesty."
Taking it to the back hall, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly asked on the way: "How about Ding Deyu?"
"Are you a good general..." Song Jiu said uncertainly that although he left Hunan, he mostly ran down there and had very little dealing with several senior officials and generals. He also used friendship in Yizhou to deceive Wang Quanbin into a bet. Although he knew each other, he didn't know the depth. Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said no more.
Song Jiu answered casually. If he knew the behind-the-scenes, he would not dare to answer easily.
Wang Quanbin, Cao Bin and others led their troops back, and Bashu had to leave soldiers to guard them to prevent accidents. Ding Deyu and Wang Ban and Zhang Yu led their troops to Xichuan. Ding Deyu, from Murong Yanzhao and Li Chuyun, had the merits to pacify Hunan and Chenzhou, and Xichuan also had the merits, especially the merits of making up for the various armies. Therefore, he was arrogant and had a disagreement with several deputy generals. Seeing a few people making noise, Zhang Yantong, the military commander, resolved the problem with Ding Deyu and Zhang Yu.
But he was a anxious temper and couldn't stand Ding Deyu's behavior. He was short-lived in the past, and Ding Deyu was very unhappy. How could he resolve it? On the contrary, he thought that he and Zhang Yu's party were suffering when they arrived at the city of Taiyuan. Zhao Kuangyin suffered some hardships when he was at the city of Taiyuan. The sky was hot, and he even stood at the city of command. The envoy said this, the emperor was good. In fact, if Song Jiu came to see him, Zhao Kuangyin was not suffering, but very happy, and came out again and could fight again. He would think so, so Zhang Yantong said, "The Lord is so hardworking, and we will enjoy peace here every day, how can we live a happy life?"
In fact, there is nothing big. Compared to Wang Quanbin's various things, they are not even considered goose feathers.
The Central Envoy brought Li Yantong's words to Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin did not expect that the people in Xichuan were in trouble. Several people went to Beijing to discuss their positions. Zhang Yu went to Beijing first and gave generous rewards. He summoned him to ask questions again. Zhang Yu said something in a jealous way. Then Zhang Yantong and Ding Deyu entered Beijing and summoned Zhang Yantong to ask questions again. Zhang Yantong had a complete quarrel with Ding Deyu at this time, so he naturally did not say good things. So Zhao Kuangyin hated Ding Deyu.
Ding Deyu felt strange. I just enjoyed it materially and was competent in Xichuan. Why did the emperor become cold to me? He sent someone to inquire about it, heard the truth, and submitted a report to explain it to himself. He also said that Zhang Yantong and the three of them formed a clan.
This is terrible, especially since they have military power and governance power in their hands, and are far away in Xichuan. Zhao Kuangyin was furious and sent the censor to take over Zhang Yu, Zhang Yantong and Wang Ban to be sentenced to interrogation.
That's why Zhao Kuangyin asked this question.
Song Jiu said in a daze that Ding Deyu was a good general, and Song Jiu rarely flattered others, so he would probably not be wrong. But Zhang Yantong and the other two were dissatisfied and wanted to judge himself in front of the emperor. Zhao Kuangyin asked, Zhang Yantong was dissatisfied, he had this temper, otherwise he would be fine in Xichuan. The more he talked, the more anxious he became.
Zhao Kuangyin was furious and sent someone to drag him down and behead him on the spot!
Killing unjustly!
The Imperial Court, Wang Renji, was appointed as the Imperial Court, Liushamen Island, Banxuzhou, Renji West Kiln Affairs.
Soon Ding Deyu reported that Li Xuan, the transferee of Xichuan, was drunk and said bad things about Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin summoned the censor to interrogate him again. Li Xuan said that Ding Deyu repeatedly requested the matter in Shu, but he refused it, so he held a grudge and slandered him. Moreover, these were all in hand, which was the small petition written by Ding Deyu. The censor brought the small petition to report it. Zhao Kuangyin only blamed Xuan for losing wine and was Zuo Zanshan's doctor. Ding Deyu demoted to Luzhou. However, he did not overturn the case for Zhang Yantong and did not even recall Zhang Yu and continued to stay on Shamen Island.
So it is right for Song Jiu to be careful. Zhao Kuangyin could force himself to treat his meritorious officials well, but he was far from Li Shimin and Liu Xiu. He could only say that he was better than Zhu Yuanzhang, Wu Zetian or Liu Bang. Of course, he was also better than the Qing Dynasty.
If you don’t know the appearance, the butcher’s knife will still fall down at any time.
