A few days before the New Year, the open space north of the Dragon Scale Hall is still under construction.

No, to be precise, it is to transform, that is, to circle some of the annexed buildings as the main body of the Vientiane Court. Perhaps some new courtyards need to be added, but not many, and the project volume is not large.

These objects in the hall were taken out and a batch of new objects were replaced. After all, the purpose has changed.

On this day, Shao Xun lay on the couch, looking through the accounts of the Shao Mansion.

Unlike later generations, this era is winter, which basically means the end of the year. Autumn harvest is the last large amount of money in Shaofu, followed by small incomings and outgoings, and the accounts are completely closed in the middle of the twelfth lunar month.

The whole year of this year, the Shaofu's farmland harvested more than 3.7 million hu of grains of various colors, and spent more than 3.2 million hu. Fortunately, most of them were shipped directly from the origin, and not much needed transportation, but in terms of the loss, the surplus was still not much, and it was scattered in the palaces of various courtyards. It was difficult to use one by one, so there was not much grain. If you transport it here and there, it would be in vain to cause losses. It was not worth it.

However, Cai Cheng assured him that the acreage of some land can be increased, and it will definitely exceed 4 million hu of hu next year, but the population controlled by the Shaofu is almost twenty directions, and the expenditure will increase next year.

This is a small society, even the government agencies have the same name as the six imperial court departments.

The production of silk is not high, only more than 120,000 horses. This is related to the guidance of Shaofu itself. If there are too many grain fields, there will be fewer mulberry fields. The current strategy is to as many grains as possible, and mulberry trees should be arranged on broken plots at corners as much as possible.

There are mulberry fields, and there are also macadamia fields. This area is similar, and it produces more than 300,000 pieces of linen cloth of various colors.

In addition, there are some rare cloths, but not many.

Most of the cloth was spent, and even part of it was taken away by the Minister of the Shangshu Chu Cuiqiu, and went to the market to exchange grain and agricultural tools for the cost of migrating sinners.

By the end of the year, there was no one left.

In addition to the large grain and cloth, there are also fruits, vegetables, meat, milk, wood, skin, medicinal materials and other income, which add up. Some are used as palace expenses, some are used as welfare for officials, some are used as sacrifices, and the rest are sent to the lieutenant of the school, and the expenses used for the sinners when they move west are not enough, and the local government must subsidize some.

As for the output of bricks, tiles, stones and other building materials, most of them are for their own use and cannot be calculated.

"Sell a batch of horses next year." Shao Xun closed the account book and said to himself.

The Shaofu family has a great business, but it is actually a financial situation of large inflows and outflows. By the end of the year, the surplus is very small.

One empty shelf.

"Maybe it's because of spending money." Shao Xun stood up and walked inside the house.

Rewards every time!

For example, a few days ago, I went to visit the soldiers in the suburbs of Luoyang and gave out more than 2,000 pieces of cloth.

The officials went home for the New Year and gave some bacon, turnips, cheese and dried fruits as rewards.

All of the above are expenses from the Shaofu.

He Shao Zhe only needed to give rewards with his hands, and everyone applauded, but the Shaofu Supervisor Cai Cheng had to consider more things.

I handed the account book to him today, probably with some minor thoughts.

As a department leader, he inevitably has to consider issues from the standpoint of his department. It is not a big deal for the Shaofu to use his own things to supplement the court.

This is the early years of the founding of the country. If a few generations of people were born, wouldn’t his descendants have to eat eggs that were always worth a single money. Of course, the commodity economy was not rich enough in this year, and various expenses, including salary, were not completely monetized. His descendants could eat eggs produced by Shaofu themselves, but the meaning was the same.

Now let’s look at the several newly built gardens in Jiangnan.

"I was in Jiangnan in the past, have you considered money and food?" After walking around, Shao Xun looked at a corner of the hall.

Asked softly.

Shan Yinan sat behind the desk, as if he was writing something, and shook his head when he heard this.

After a moment, she put down her pen and handed it to Shao Xun.

Shao Xun took it and saw the third short essay about him in "The New Words of the World": "The emperor met the noble concubine Pei, and he was a long time to be accused of Pei Chongyou's theory."

"Hui Lu plays into the grass and trees to make ashes and gets crystal stones, and he says, "Ash is 'no', and this is a heterogeneous nature, which is probably a rare experience?"

"When the emperor heard this, he laughed and said, "Isn't the grass and trees "exist? The fire has passed away and the fire will eventually come to an end. Therefore, it is said, "Those who are in the end cannot be able to live, and those who are born will be born."

"The question is: 'What is the reason for the grass and trees turn into ashes, and the ash is condensed into crystals?'"

"The Emperor Fu said, "Pei Zi is a general in the general and the ultimate way of the clan; he is the only one who is different in race and common people. All things are born, each with partial spirit, and they hold different ways."

"Wan Xinzhe asked: 'Since you know how to find out the truth?''

"The emperor said seriously: 'Be careful and observe the actual evidence. In the past, Zhang Heng regulated the seismic meter and Yu Xi observed the stars in the dark, and all used physical evidence to prove the truth."

"I'm going to pause my head and say, 'I know it, so I should cast iron to block my long mouth.'"

"The Emperor said, "Emperor's Palm says, "Emperor's Talk is ultimately absent from eyewitnesses, and false words are no match for hand touches."

"Down on your head and bow again, and retreat."

The reason why a short composition is a short composition is that its plot is fictional. It doesn’t matter whether there is such a dialogue between the monarch and the ministers, but what is important is the concept conveyed by the short story itself.

"Okay, just write that. Where is the first article placed?" Shao Xun asked.

Shan Yinan glanced at him and said seriously: ""Bonus stinky" eyes."

Shao Xun patted the case lightly.

Shan Yinan was not afraid at all, and lowered her head and smiled, "Put it under the 'production'."

"You actually joked with me?" Shao Xun was stunned.

Yama Yinan looked at him in surprise.

"You actually joked with me?" Shao Xun smiled.

Shan Yinan lowered her head unnaturally.

Shao Xun looked at him, his voice slowed down and said, "It's good, that's good. You should have done this. If the sky falls and a man is carrying it, just smile more every day."

Shan Yinan was a little Haoran, and changed the subject and said, "If Your Majesty releases this article and is circulated, it will probably cause criticism."

"Criticism?" Shao Xun shook his head and said, "There are two factions that have fought for you so much that they have dried up. It would be better if there is a 'criticism'. Let them think about burning the ashes of the trees and then condense crystal stones day and night, and repeatedly ponder it over time. Over time, the meaning will be seen. It cannot be true or false, and the false cannot be true."

After saying that, he asked again, "Have you talked about Xuan?"

Shan Yinan nodded.

"Who do you believe?"

"I used to believe in 'innocent as the basis' and 'respecting the basis'. Since 11," she looked at Shao Xun with complicated eyes and said, "Since the unification of the North, the national affairs have been shaken. When it came to Shouchun and Jingzhou several battles, I didn't believe in 'Guiwu'."

"Absolutely don't believe it?"

Yama Yinan frowned and said, "Some of them make sense."

Shao Xun nodded, both philosophies, namely Chongyou and Guiwu, have flaws and are difficult to justify.

If he asked him to say it, he would prefer to respect for the existence, and to be more precise, the rulers all like to respect for the existence.

Of course, Chongyou theory also needs to be transformed, which is what he will do next.

As for why we don’t create a set of philosophical theories, one is because we don’t have that ability, and the other is because the existing theories have been debated for decades, with traffic and popularity, and can even bring everyone into it.

It is not surprising that Shan Yi Nan believes in it, because she has actually managed the country for several years.

"Let's talk about what happened just now," said Shao Xun: "Why didn't you care about money and food when you were in power in Jiangnan?"

"It's useless to care." Yama Yinan said, "Every piece of cloth and every bucket of grain must be approved by the rich people before they can be put into the warehouse."

"Did you ever have any ideas?"

"have."

"Let's say it."

"Trade banana and karuta, ascend to Yue, vine paper and strange things in the South China Sea to the north to exchange for horses." Shan Yinan said, "In addition, it was the case that the overseas Chinese county inspectors were established. This was a difficult matter. Fortunately, the Prime Minister supported it, so it was a small success."

"I heard that you were very fierce when you gave orders?"

Shan Yinan gave him a blank look and didn't want to answer.

Shao Xun smiled softly and said, "I have just planned for a long time and came up with a way to order Shaofu to build a garden in Jiaozhou.

I don’t know what the people in Jiaozhou are doing?”

"After Tao Shiheng arrived in Jiaozhou, he submitted a memorial to Linyi State for repeated invasions. He defeated a thief attack on the prefect of Rinan. After being promoted to the governor of Jiaozhou, he defeated Linyi once. However, the two victories did not cause the enemy to be damaged, and Linyi State would come sooner or later. When I read the memorial, I frowned. However, the army in the north was approaching and could not help me, so I ordered Tao Shiheng to calm down and ease the main force." Shan Yinan said, "Before the defeat of Jianye City, Tao Shiheng passed away. At that time, Jiaozhou had no master, and the north and south had broken news, and I couldn't take care of it."

"The army of Jingzhou went south, and the counties of Jiaozhou surrendered when they heard the news." Shao Xun said, "I thought everything was worry-free. After hearing what you said, Linyi's small country has always been Jiaozhou and the counties of Jiaozhou are really a concern."

"Linyi country is small and weak, and there are not many soldiers. However, Daliang can send fewer soldiers, and he cannot stand the damp heat." Shan Yinan said: "If you go to the counties in the northern part of Jiaozhou to open gardens and breed goods, it may be a method. The world is hustle and bustle, all for profit. If there is huge profit, there will be more people going there. Over time, you may be able to eat enough soldiers and no longer be afraid of Linyi. But one by one."

"What?"

"Jiaozhou and Guangzhou are high on land, and the people often walk on sea routes. If Jiaozhou is rich and strong, and the land route is blocked, it may breed ambitions, so you must guard against it." Shan Yinan continued.

Shao Xun looked at the woman with praise.

If she was a man, she would be imprisoned. Fortunately, there were no two tigers in one mountain, but one male and one female.

Ah, he is much smarter than Yu Wenjun, and he has really taken charge of the country. He is not a temporary country like Yu Wenjun who is not very responsible.

"It must be done." Shao Xun said, "Shan Wei is currently a Jiaozhou master. Do you think he is worthy of a great responsibility?"

"He has limited ability, can't do anything, nor can he ruin anything." Shan Yinan said, "If you want him to help his mother Qiu Zongkuang guard Jiaozhou, it's probably not possible. But if you help the Shaofu manage the garden, you can still be competent."

Shao Xun said with a slight head, "The south is vast and it is difficult for northerners to adapt. After all, the southern soldiers will have to govern the southern land and the southern troops will be in the south. In the future, you will have to give me more ideas."

Shan Yinan nodded.

"Let's go, I've prepared something delicious for you." Shao Xun stood up and pulled Shan Yinan up.

The two left the main hall.

"Zhuge Biao came to report that most of the craftsmen in Wenma Chuan Village dispersed. "I know one person who was once a member of the Cao Cao Shishi in Wang Maohong's shogunate. People from Jin'an will definitely find craftsmen."

"Why did it disperse?"

"Wenma changed from Chuantuan to county because of the great prosperity of shipbuilding. Now that shipbuilding is no longer built, it will naturally disperse."

"It prospers because of shipbuilding, but it is dispersed because of not building shipbuilding. Jiaozhou seems to be prospering because of sugar—"
