The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 154 Ding You
Zhou Bangyan ran away quickly without even saying goodbye.

Liang Xin was completely stunned.

What do you mean?
not understand.

After getting on the carriage, Liang Zhong asked: "Your Majesty, are you talented this week's bachelor?"

Liang Xin replied: "You can send the tax camp to investigate and ensure that there is no problem with him. Although I personally admire him very much, he is indeed an upright person."

"It's just." Liang Xin held her chin with one hand: "I don't understand why he ran away suddenly just now?"

Liang Xin, who was confused, returned home and hadn't sat down yet.

Li Gefei, who was promoted to Minister of Rites, came.

"Li Weng." Liang Xin saluted first.

This is already quite a respectable title. In the Song Dynasty, concubines were like objects. How could an object have parents, relatives, and friends?Liang Xin regarded Li Qingzhao as a human being and gave her the status of concubine, but she could not call Li Gefei his father-in-law.

Liang Xin may not care, but Cao Ping will care.

Li Gefei quickly returned the gift and took a few steps forward: "Brother Xin, I heard that your shop offers dowry loans?"

"Yes." Liang Xin replied: "Li Weng, you only have one daughter, Qingzhao, right?"

"No, no, I am asking on behalf of my friends." After Li Gefei answered, he added: "I am asking on behalf of my many friends."

Liang Xin replied: "The annual interest rate is six cents, and the loan can be borrowed for up to 15 years."

Li Gefei took a long breath and said, "That's great. Can you arrange for someone to apply for [-] loans for me? The highest loan can be [-] guan. The left minister of the Ministry of War will receive his salary in three or five years, which can be divided into installments." Pay it back. At least one person can borrow [-] guan. My sect's master is Bo, eighth grade, and his salary is drawn monthly for three years, so he can pay it back easily."

Liang Xin was not needed for this matter. Liang Zhong came over and said, "Li Shilang, please come with me. I will arrange it for you."

"There is labor, there is labor."

Li Gefei left happily.

After walking a few steps, he stopped and said, "I heard something a few days ago that Ziyou is selling off the fields and houses around Bianjing City to collect dowry."

After speaking, Li Gefei raised his hand to salute, and then left with Liang Zhong.

Ziyou is the name of Su Che.

Liang Xin couldn't help laughing.

Not long ago, Su Shi wrote something to Zhang Dun: Ziyou has five daughters and a mountain of debt.

why.

Now Liang Xin figured it out, Su Shi must have spent all his money to finance Su Che's marriage.

Cao Ping, the prince of the county.

Marry Cao Tan and get one-third of the family property.

Gone.

If Cao Tan had three sisters, Cao Ping would not be able to afford the dowry. If there were five, Cao Ping would also be in debt.

Liang Xin was smiling when Liang Zhong trotted in.

"My lord, I just received the news that Zong Chengzhi's mother has passed away."

"What?" Liang Xin was surprised.

Liang Zhong continued: "I have already asked my family to prepare the ceremony, as well as the transportation, carriages, horses, and boats needed for Zong Cheng's return to his hometown."

"No." Liang Xin felt that this was too sudden. Even though Zongze was just a minister, he was very important in the Dongkua Courtyard and played a stabilizing role. Moreover, the minister of the Privy Council was also a very important position.

Only one thing is very clear.

Nothing can stop Zongze from returning to his hometown Dingyou.

Ding You, the short term can be one year, the long term can be three years, and even five years.

When Liang Xin left, Liang Zhong had already asked someone to prepare the carriage. Liang Zhong was an absolutely reliable long-term follower.

When Liang Xin arrived at Zongze's house, Zongze had already put on his mourning clothes and handed over the memorial.Ding You was not an ordinary person in the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty governed the country with filial piety, and the court also had a very complicated process for Ding You.

There are corresponding requirements from food, clothing, accommodation location, etc.

Seeing Liang Xin arrive, Zongze handed the thick stack of paper he had written on to Liang Xin with both hands.

When Liang Xin picked it up and looked at it, Zongze said: "If we were to carry out countermeasures for the Liao Kingdom, there would be many people available. When Zhang Gong used the Han government to get into trouble, he chose Han Hao."

Liang Xin replied: "I know, I know it well."

Zongze continued: "Han Gong is 62 years old this year, and the two Yao Fan Gongs, one is 74 and the other is seventy. Zeng Bu is afraid of Fan Gong because of his seriousness and uprightness, but he is already old after all."

Liang Xin looked through what Zongze had written and saw some strategies that he believed should be used to make steady progress in the next year.

Liang Xin asked: "I plan to transfer Uncle Xinxian, the governor of Huangzhou, to Bianjing to serve as the Privy Council. What do you think?"

Zongze replied: "Gao Yongnian, the governor of Xuanwei Province."

"Him?" Liang Xin put down the stack of paper in her hand and began to recall that she had read the roster of officials in the Hehuang area. Among them, Liang Shicheng had worked hard to compile them, and it was not the waste paper from the Ministry of Personnel.

After thinking for a while, Liang Xin said: "He is a bit too tough."

Zongze: "Tell Lu Huiqing to return to Beijing."

After mentioning this person, Zongze stood up: "Everyone in the court thinks that he is treacherous, shameless and has a low personality. But rumors are spread from person to person, sometimes for profit, sometimes for the sake of the court. Fighting. These days, after reading all the new law files of Banshang Gong, I think he is right."

Zongze continued to advise: "Using him has a huge benefit."

Liang Xin nodded: "He has no friends."

"Yes, he is the only one who can check and balance Zhang Gong."

Liang Xin asked again: "Zhang Gong once appeared in prison and was seen by Zeng Bu. He designed to lure out Zeng Bu's gang members. This is a clever trick. If Lu Huiqing comes back, I'm afraid..."

Zongze didn't answer, he was waiting for Liang Xin to finish.

Liang Xin hesitated for a while and then said: "Han Gong returned to the prime minister, Zeng Bu and Zhang Dun... died together."

Zongze then said: "The Fan and Lu families did not participate in the battle in the court. Please focus on Lu Huiqing. I think his contribution to the reform and his talents in guarding the border and guarding the bandits were deliberately covered up, just as The old dharma lineage wants to abandon Hehuang, and the new dharma lineage wants to destroy books."

"Bring him back."

Liang Xin believed in Zongze's vision.

Liang Xin added: "When you return to your hometown, Ding You, I heard that some people can teach when they return to their hometown."

"Yes."

Liang Xin: "I have something to do. You happen to be at home with Ding You. Someone will give you a report every ten days. You are responsible for it. Regarding a salt farm with an annual output of [-] million kilograms of salt, it is not in the Song Dynasty, but in Dayi Prefecture. I don't either To tell you the truth, the Forbidden Army soldiers don’t even have enough salt to eat by themselves, and they need to spend money to buy it themselves. The salt may not be used for selling, but it will definitely be used to make the lower-level soldiers eat more."

Zongze: “Be dedicated.”

Zongze knew that the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were too miserable.

Some people even say that some of the soldiers’ family members resorted to following the family to make a living.

How sad.

Song Army, talk about combat power.

Liang Xin stayed at Zongze's house and chatted until late at night, and they talked thoroughly about the next year.

Zongze will serve Dingyou for one year or three years, depending on the situation.

At least one year.

After Liang Xin returned home, it was almost dawn.

After squinting for a while, Liang Xin changed her clothes and went into the palace, sitting in the dining room and waiting for Zhao Ji to wake up.
