I studied in modern times

Chapter 101: He Appears in Renmiao!

On April Wuchen (fifth day) of the eighth year of Yuanfeng, the Minister Youpushe and Zhongshu Shilang Han Jiang presided over the review of the service law, corrected the gains and losses, and described the past.

So Han Jiang asked to establish a service law review office, which is responsible for reviewing and revising the service law.

The two palaces ordered the three provinces to supervise.

Han Jiang handed over this matter to Zhongshu's servant Zhang Yu.

April Jisi (the sixth day of the lunar new year).

The new king was ordered to ascend the throne, and the clan was granted grace, and 23 people who had specially worked with the clan to investigate the law had been transferred to official positions.

Gengwu (the seventh day of the seventh day).

According to the law of protecting horses in Jingdong and Jingxi, the official horses that have been paid to the people can be recovered by Yousi and transferred to the command of Hedong Lu Huiqing. , because the Emperor Daxing has paid the people ten thousand for raising horses, so if the people want to raise horses, they need to pay 27 thousand.

The edict was issued, and Jingdong and Jingxi were full of joy.

Few people are willing to hand over their official horses.

The vast majority of people have chosen to pay for horses!

It is really a bargain for a horse at such a price!

In the future, whether the horses at home are used for pulling, riding or even plowing, the price/performance ratio will be unparalleled.

This is also the biggest advantage these people can take.

There is a high probability that there will be no more in the future.

The reason is very simple, they can get such a favorable policy now, purely because of the guilt of the two palaces, plus Zhao Xu's words, they gave compensation.

In a few years, the two palaces will become hard-hearted.

what guilt?Even if there is, it is an instant thing.

Xin Wei (the eighth day of the lunar new year), the two palaces formally issued an edict to abolish the Bianhe embankment department, and the stacking yards, field affairs, and warehouses belonging to the embankment department will be purchased from the people according to the old system of the ancestors, for a period of three years, three years Then go buy again.

Before the edict was issued, the Gao family and the Xiang family had already obtained the stacking yard presented by the emperor for the two wives.

They are all on the north bank of the Bianhe River in Bianjing City, the best location and the largest stacking yard.

Gao Jiahe ran over to his family to take a look, and his heart was beating non-stop.

Especially when you see the stacking yard, full of goods and ships coming and going, never stopping.

They knew that [-] guan a year was absolutely low!
So, this afternoon, the Gao family and the Xiang family sent Gao Gongji and Xiang Zong back to the palace to thank them.

Gao Gongji and Xiang Zonghui first went to Baoci Palace to express their gratitude.

Naturally, he said a lot of good things, and by the way, he also praised Zhao Xu to the sky.

Gao Gongji even said that "the young master's benevolence and filial piety are rare in the ages, and the mother's blessing will surely be passed down through the ages."

Xiang Zonghui was also acting as a wingman beside him, taking the opportunity to praise the empress dowager's virtuous virtues, protecting the young master, assisting the military and the country, and her merits will last forever.

Listening to the Empress Dowager, her ears softened, she was full of smiles, and she was intoxicated.

After thanking Baoci Palace, the two came to Funing Palace again.

At this time, Zhao Xu is studying under the guidance of the Queen Mother.

Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji could only wait outside the curtain for about a quarter of an hour.

Empress Dowager Xiang and Zhao Xu in the curtain just finished today's homework.

Xiang Zonghui watched the empress dowager and the young master inside through the curtain, mother and child being intimate.

I was very excited.

Although he has heard it many times, this is the first time he has seen such a scene with his own eyes!

"My Xiang family's wealth can be guaranteed!" Xiang Zonghui was very excited in his heart.

Although the Xiang family has a queen, the queen has no children, which has always been a pain for the Xiang family!
it's good now!

A pure filial young master fell from the sky!
Observing etiquette and serving mother and relatives!
No one would doubt the young master's filial piety!

Because Emperor Daxing was so filial to Mercy Shengguang in those days.

Cao Yi's Jiedushi and the title of county king are the best evidence!

Cao Yu can be born as the king of the county, worship the Jiedushi, and the emperor of Daxing personally calls him his uncle and treats him like a prince.

Ci Shengguang presented his death, Cao Yu wanted to invite the county, but the emperor Daxing refused, so he stayed in the capital, and still treated each other like a relative uncle, and ordered him to be the first, Ying 3!
I really envy others!
So... so can I!
With such excitement, Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji bowed their heads together, respectfully facing the curtain, and had already brought the young master to bow to their empress dowager and emperor twice.

"Chen Zonghui (Gong Ji), I wish the Empress Dowager and His Majesty the Emperor all blessings!"

"The two relatives of the country are free!" The young master's voice came from the middle: "Come, give the two relatives of the country a seat! Give me tea!"

Then there was a minister, who moved the wooden pier, put it in front of them, and brought tea soup.

Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji quickly thanked each other, and then sat down.

This time it was Xiang Zonghui who started to take the lead.

He said softly: "The minister entered the palace this time because of Xie En..."

"The Empress Dowager descended to Long En, His Majesty the Emperor, treated the humble minister well..."

"The ministers are so grateful, there is really nothing to repay..."

Yes, a stacking yard that earns far more than [-] pens a year.

Even if the Xiang family relies on this, the whole family can live comfortably and live happily.

Gao Gongji also said: "The whole family of ministers is also deeply grateful for the great kindness of the emperor, and there is really nothing to repay..."

"From now on, I will be loyal to the country and abide by my duty..."

The relatives of Song Dynasty are good at this point.

All they need is money, not power, and they are usually very responsible, and will not cross their red line as a foreign relative: talk less about state affairs and make more money.

The reason why Zhao Xu's father's new law was criticized by the royal family of his relatives and ministers.

It's just because it hinders them from making money.

Zhao Xu was very clear about these things.

So, he looked at the Queen Mother, and then said meaningfully to Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji who were outside the curtain: "Please go back and tell other relatives..."

"The good days ahead are still to come!"

Zhao Xu is not afraid that his relatives don't like money, but he is afraid that these guys are not greedy enough!
And, to be honest, look at the virtues of Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji now!

That's it?

It can only be said that their poor imagination limits their vision.

Tens of thousands of pens a year are enough.

If Zhao Xu told them that as long as the cotton is grown well, it's a trivial matter to have a million grains a year, then would they be crazy?

Of course, Zhao Xu also understands that no one will believe him now.

Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji became even more excited when they heard Zhao Xu's words.

The two of them quickly bowed again: "It's all thanks to Your Majesty Long En, the Empress Dowager has mercy, and the Empress Dowager Tweets!"

Seeing this scene, Queen Mother Xiang who was beside Zhao Xu couldn't help but nodded, feeling deeply satisfied.

Zhao Xu then took the opportunity to ask: "The two relatives of the country have already obtained the court's order. I don't know when they will leave?"

Two days ago, Zhao Xu's good fourth uncle had respectfully welcomed the Buddha's tooth relic into the palace from the Daxiangguo Temple.

Yousi has also made seals, official uniforms and tokens for both Gao Gongji and Xiang Zonghui.

Xiang Zonghui heard the words and replied: "Your Majesty Qizuo, the ministers are still raising manpower in Bianjing City, it will take some time..."

Zhao Xu nodded. It's always been like this when relatives go out to become officials.

They will not take office alone, they will bring a large group of staff.

These staff members are basically either the children of Xungui or Bianjing people.

There may be any kind of people in it.

Ambitious, capable, ambitious...

Of course, the most common ones are those who are greedy for money and lustful, with high eyesight and low power, who are usually arrogant, have high self-esteem, and fight with each other when things happen.

After a little tidying up, Zhao Xu and Xiang Zong replied: "Uncle Zong Huiguo..."

Xiang Zonghui was overwhelmed by the flattery, almost jumped up, barely suppressing the reckless movement in his heart, he hurriedly bowed down: "Don't dare...don't dare..."

"What is the entrustment of the unknown official?"

The Son of Heaven has already called him Uncle, so how can he continue to call him Your Majesty?
"It is true that I have something to ask Uncle Guo..." Zhao Xu said calmly, he turned his head to look at Feng Jing in the palace, and ordered: "Feng Jing, go and tell me that a few days ago, Shi Deyi was in Bianjing City. Take all the kapok seeds you have collected!"

"Wei!" Feng Jing took the order and left, and soon brought a wooden box to the hall.

Xiang Zonghui looked at the wooden box not quite understanding, and then watched Feng Jing open it.

Inside are some unknown brown seeds.

Xiang Zonghui probably weighed tens of catties.

What are the officials going to do?Xiang Zonghui didn't understand.

He could only look into the curtain.

Then I heard the queen mother in the curtain say: "These are kapok seeds..."

"A few days ago, the official family saw some jibeibu from Lingnan in the Emperor Daxing's sealed pile warehouse along with the palace..."

"After I came back, I will never forget it!" At this point, the Queen Mother held Zhao Xu's hand gently, and said: "The officials are kind by nature, they are comfortable in the palace, and they also take the people's food and clothing as their own responsibility. They have asked the palace many times. , if that jibebu can be planted in the cold and barren land, then maybe the people in the world will no longer have to work hard!"

"So I begged Bengong to let Shi Deyi find some kapok seeds that Ji Beibu wanted in Bianjing City..."

"Isn't Xihe Road always poor and unproductive?"

"Xiang Zonghui, Gao Gongji!"

The sudden roll call of the Empress Dowager made the two relatives immediately stand up and bow down to obey orders.

"Since you are going to be officials in Xihe, you should take these seeds and sow them on Xihe Road. You will harvest them in the next year and transport them back to Bianjing. If they are successful, the officials and the Palace will reward you generously!"

Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji immediately bowed and said: "I will obey the order and will not disgrace the mission!"

It's a trivial matter, just find a small official on Xihe Road and send him to do it.

However, in the next second, both Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji gave up their original thoughts.

Because the little official has spoken.

"The two relatives of the country have worked hard and worked hard for the country, and I will not be held responsible!"

"If kapok can really be grown on Xihe Road, then the two relatives of the country, including the kapok wadding produced on Xihe Road, including the seeds, will be collected in the internal treasury with a seal of money..."

"Anyone who can weave a piece of cloth will be given three pieces of money!"

Both Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji raised their heads, swallowing hard.

Officials!

My relatives and officials!

What did you just say?
The stake is paid to collect kapok, and the seeds are also required?

If you can weave one piece of cloth, you will be paid three times?

Now in Bianjing, how much is a piece of ordinary silk cloth?

Two or three?

The officials are trying every means to send money to those of us who are relatives of the country!
Sure enough, he is worthy of being the son of pure filial piety, a benevolent and holy official family!

Bianjing people are right!
Ancestors bless!

Renmiao has appeared!

　Note: As always in the Northern Song Dynasty, if Zumo is not marked, it is 770 texts.

　　This is a trend that has been deliberately led by the government since the late Tang Dynasty. At first it was the method of Karma leeks, but it became a common practice in the Song Dynasty.

　　In the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty, the market price of a piece of ordinary silk cloth was about 2 to 3 guan.
