Compete for the Song Dynasty

Chapter 14 Proposals for printing banknotes

That Liang Yi was stubborn, and asked him why he wanted to hurt someone with a sword. Liang Yi replied that the man lied to him and admitted that he had illegally carried a cold weapon.He asked him where the sword came from, and Liang Yi replied that he bought it from a small vendor.Sentence him for stabbing someone?The party is gone.The people do not raise officials and do not investigate, and no one who hurts others sues him.

Mr. Bao stopped interrogating him, beat him [-] times, and imprisoned him for another trial.Wang Pang wondered why Mr. Bao only judged the matter of hurting others.

After leaving the hall, Wang Anshi also heard that Wang Pang had helped arrest a person, so he also came to see Mr. Bao, and the three of them sat in Bao Zheng's study and talked secretly.Bao Zheng asked Wang Pang for details, and Wang Pang told Mr. Bao the situation at that time in detail.Of course, he couldn't say anything about how he calculated Bao Zheng's annual salary.It only started after the woman came in.The two brothers started talking about women disguised as men.

After finishing speaking, he asked Bao Zheng: "Father, why do you only judge the matter of weapons?"

Bao Zheng asked, "Beside, do you know who this person is?"

Wang Pang replied, "My child doesn't know."

Bao Zheng said: "Liang Yi is a pseudonym. This person's real name is Liang Bui, and he is the scholar who burned down the mansion shop two months ago."

Wang Anshi asked, "It is rumored that this person fled to Xixia. I don't know if there is such a thing."

Bao Zheng replied, "There is indeed such a thing!"

Wang Pang was puzzled, so he asked Bao Zheng, "Since the adoptive father knows everything, why didn't he continue the interrogation?"

Bao Zheng didn't answer, took a sip of water and said, "Does Master Wang know?"

Wang Anshi frowned and nodded, "I understand."

Wang listened wonderingly, and suddenly his heart lit up: "Oh, I know."

When Bao Zheng and Wang Anshi saw him, they said they knew. Wang Anshi said, "What do you know at such a young age?"

Bao Zheng smiled: "Lord Wang's words are wrong. Although Pang'er is young, he is very smart. You might as well listen to what he has to say."

Wang Anshi smiled: "Your adoptive father dotes on him more than my real father. By the way, since Mr. Bao asked you to talk about it, you can talk about it."

Wang Pang stood up and walked a few steps back and forth in the middle of the room, seeing that the two fathers were looking at him kindly, naturally he became bolder and cupped his hands and said: "The father-in-law wants to catch his comrades, and he doesn't want to press Mrs. Hurry up, scare the snake away."

Seeing that both of them nodded, Wang Pang knew that he was right, and he was relieved.

Bao Zheng said: "You've said half of what you said." After a pause, he said again. "This person still has the guts to return to Bianjing. It should be a very important matter. What you said is right. I suspect that he has accomplices, so I won't start a fight for the time being. And I suspect that someone in the city will respond. If he is really a spy, he will respond." People must not be ordinary people. This matter is no small matter.”

Wang Pang admired secretly in his heart, although he said that he was a modern person, but he was still not as thoughtful as Mr. Bao thought.

Wang Anshi said: "I still need to learn more from adults."

Bao Zheng was not modest, he said: "I have sent a spy to Xixia, what is the relationship between this person and Xixia, it is estimated that there will be a result in ten days and a half months."

Wang Anshi said: "Your Excellency arranged things in a timely manner. It's just that the person who was chased by Liang Yi is also suspected."

Bao Zheng nodded and said: "What he said to Liang Yi will make Liang Yi like this." After speaking, he turned to look at the king. "Besides, you have seen this person before, can you recognize him again?"

Wang Pang said: "My boy will definitely recognize it. My brother heard me say that it was a woman disguised as a man, so he stopped looking at him. My boy stared at it for a long time."

Wang Anshi said: "You naughty child, if you know she is a girl and still stare at her, don't you care about gentleness?"

Bao Zheng laughed loudly: "It's good to keep an eye on, man's nature, as long as he doesn't do anything out of character, it's fine. What's more, he also said that he was dressed as a man. If you want to solve the case, you must have this Observe carefully."

Wang Anshi coughed dryly twice: "Master Bao is used to this kid, and his lord praises you, you have to remember, you will be a gentleman in the future. And... observe, you have to observe secretly."

Wang Pang said yes, but he laughed in his heart: This literati is corrupt. When he was Gao Yu, he molested the girl at the front desk every day. If Wang Anshi knew about it, he would not know what he was like.

Bao Zheng said: "That's the case, besides, you can pay attention when you go out on the street. If you meet this person again, come back and report as soon as possible. No follow-up is allowed!"

Wang Pang thought: "That's not lost, it will be gone in a blink of an eye."

Bao Zheng said: "There will be plainclothes following you."

Wang Pang suddenly understood that when he tripped Liang Yi, someone would help to hold him down. There were many guards in Kaifeng Mansion, and he knew only Bao Zheng's bodyguards.

"Father, you and the child are also using praying mantises to catch cicadas and orioles!"

Bao Zheng was amused by him. Ever since he got Wang Pang, Bao Zheng felt a lot of joy every day and said: "If they are in the same group, you are in danger. If they are not in the same group, there is a lot of suspicion in her behavior. .”

After finishing speaking, he ordered his family to take out a bag: "Besides, this is twenty copper coins. You can go to restaurants, restaurants, Goulan and tile shops in the past few days."

Wang Anshi shook his head: "Oh, Mr. Bao, if you get used to it, you won't even recognize me as your own father."

Bao Zheng said: "Of course my father is my father, and my adoptive father is also my adoptive father!" The two laughed, Wang Anshi was a little embarrassed, and Bao Zheng went on to say: "Pang'er is young, so it is necessary to cultivate his future well." There is a limit, but if you are greedy for money, it will be self-destructive. He is no better than Yuan Ze, Yuan Ze is full of the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, and the purpose of cultivating Pang Er is to make him take money inappropriately. If there are bribes in the future, he will naturally look down on him."

After Bao Zheng finished speaking, he saw that Wang Pang didn't go to pick up the copper coins and said, "Pang, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Pang said: "Father, foster father is called high salary and honesty."

Wang Anshi said: "Thank you foster father, please remember, the place of fireworks is not suitable to go."

Wang Pang nodded, seeing that he didn't go to get the money, the two of them were very surprised, Wang Pang didn't want to do anything, but just worried about going to the street every day with a hanging on his body.Not to mention his body, the money box in his own room can hardly fit.Did the Song Dynasty have no banknotes?No way, he remembered that day when he first came to Kaifeng Mansion on the road and saw people arguing over money exchange.then said

"Father, my son has something, I don't know whether to ask it or not"

Bao Zheng replied: "Let's listen to it."

Wang Pang then expressed his doubts to the two adults.He looked at Wang Anshi's heart, and then continued: "I think the issue of currency is a major issue. If the circulation is inconvenient, it will affect economic development. If the exchange is not standardized, it will cause conflicts, and some people may take the opportunity to make profits." Why don't the two adults go to the court to reform the currency system?"

He thought he would be praised, so he looked proudly at his dear father in the hall, who was such a godfather.But I saw Wang Anshi say: "You are young, full of nonsense. How can the national system be changed randomly. Now because of the shortage of copper, tin coins and iron coins will appear. Of course, the exchange must be proportional." [

Wang Pang felt a little strange. Wang Anshi objected to perfecting a currency system, so he said:

"Not only that, but when Dad becomes the prime minister, he will advocate many things, such as the young crop law and the tax exemption law."

"Shut up!" Wang Anshi shouted at him.

Looking at his father and son, Bao Zheng suddenly had doubts. Why did Wang Pang mention that Wang An will become prime minister in the future? Could it be that Liang Yi is related to Wang Anshi?But as soon as he thought about it, he dismissed it. Wang Anshi was conscientious in his work, and it would not be uncommon for him to become a prime minister with his talent and learning.Besides, if it is related, Wang Pang will not go to arrest Liang Yi.

Wang Pang felt a little dissatisfied. It was the first time that Wang Anshi told himself to shut up so sternly. He was not happy when the stubborn old man said that he would be the prime minister.What is even more confusing is, is this Wang Anshi who will reform in the future?He looked at Bao Zheng, Bao Zheng was watching him talking with Wang Anshi.

Seeing that the father and son were at a stalemate, Bao Zheng said: "Your Majesty Wang needs to be considerate, and Tong Yan is jealous. But what I said is also reasonable. Recently, several lawsuits have involved private private banknotes called "Jiaozi", and privately issued "Jiaozi" There are a lot of merchants coming and going in Bianjing. Some of them are placed in private Jiaozi shops when they can’t carry them. They also need to pay some management fees. But when they come back, some profiteers slip away. It’s really a problem.”

Wang Anshi hurriedly said: "It's Mr. Bao who understands the sentiments of the people. I admire him. But he's so ostentatious, I'm afraid he will cause trouble in the future."

Bao Zheng nodded: "Besides, your father is right. You have to learn to keep a low profile. What do you think about coins?"

When Wang listened to this, he also felt that he was too ostentatious. No wonder a child of thirteen or fourteen, if he hadn't met Mr. Bao, what he said would be childish, and no one would listen to what he said.So he said: "Father, why don't you tell the court that the court prints banknotes with uniform and standardized currency values, which can not only recycle copper and iron to relieve tension, but also compare to the reputation of the people. At the same time, the court opened official hinge shops in various states; People who use jiaozi can exchange cash at jiaozi shop. If there is too much cash to carry, they can be exchanged for jiaozi, which is convenient for merchants to carry. Only a certain fee is charged for the exchange back and forth, so that the court can earn more income.”

Wang Pang originally wanted to tell Bao Zheng what the bank did, but then he thought that this was the Song Dynasty, and it was impossible for the court to pay interest to depositors, and they didn't understand the matter of loans, so they decided to start with the current one. A small change in the rules.

After hearing what he said, Bao Zheng said, "Go and rest, I will discuss it with your father in detail."

As Wang Pang walked, he thought: What does foster father mean by this? You can rest and forget it, let them calm down, and I am really tired.But he didn't want to go back to the room of Baozheng's mansion, so he went to say good night to his adoptive mother, turned out of Baozheng's mansion, and walked to Wang Anshi's mansion. When the servant saw him coming back, it was already dark, so he carried this lantern to lead the way. First go to Mrs. Wu's to say good night, and then go back to his original small courtyard, where there are people planning every day, just like he lives here every day.

He was sitting on the promenade in front of the room, leaning against the pillars of the promenade, looking up at the moon, the Mid-Autumn Festival and the past ten days, it was getting more and more semi-curved, the air was dry and refreshing, and it was a little bit cool, and it had already arrived at the two It's been a month, if it hadn't been for that incident today, that woman disguised as a man, he might still be immersed in surprises, but the person who directly saw what was in his heart was just like what Shen Kuo described.He couldn't help but think of the woman when he had an accident, did she also time travel like him?

The courtyard door opened with a creak, and Rou'er came in. In the few days when Wang Pang was not around and she didn't need her to serve her, she went to the wife's room, and stayed with Ping'er and the others when she was resting at night.lest I be afraid in this yard.While talking with several other girls, the servant went to tell him that the second young master was resting here tonight, so he hurried over. When the door saw Wang Pang sitting in front of the door under the moonlight, his heart jumped. The figure that had not been seen for a few days seemed to be much stronger. She I don't know, the Thirteenth and Fourteenth is when boys enter puberty, and it is the period of fastest development.

Wang Pang saw Rou'er standing in front of him blushing and beating heartbeat, he knew what Rou'er was thinking, seeing that the girl was innocent, he planned to persuade Mrs. Wu to find someone for Rou'er as soon as possible, and it was almost the age of engagement.What's more, I am a person who has experienced it. If I can't go back, I can't ruin my future because of a small loss.If I can go back, I can't harm this little girl who is not yet an adult.

Thinking of this, she said to Rou'er, go back to your room and rest.I'll call you if something happens.Rou'er replied and turned to walk away.

Seeing Rou'er go away, Wang Pang continued to think about his own thoughts, took out the black crystal and looked at it, but the handsome face of that woman in Renhelou disguised as a man flashed in his mind.

The most flustered person at this time was Zhao Zongshi, who was pacing back and forth in the room.A man in black night clothes jumped down from the eaves and entered the house without knowing anything.Zhao Zongshi saw him coming and looked at him.

The man in black said, "Grandpa, I have already found out. Bao Zheng's adoptive son, Wang Bang, who captured Zhao Zongshi today, has also found out where Liang Yi is being held and where Song Wenjian is stored."

Zhao Zongshi said, "Well done, it's this kid again, what else did you find out?"

The man replied, "This son has a very close relationship with Di Qing, and he learned the martial arts of horseback riding and archery from Di Qing."

Zhao Zongshi pondered for a moment, and a vicious plan gradually formed in his heart. "Leng Qing, you send a message to Liang Yi asking him to persist until the Double Ninth Festival, when that day you need to rescue Liang Yi; get back the Song Wen sword, don't give it to me, remember to put it in Di Qing's residence."

After the man in black left, Zhao Zongshi sat on the chair. He sneered, on Double Ninth Day, the guards around Bao Zheng were all very powerful, and they would not fight you head-on.The day of the official attack, not to mention that I have "Leng Qing", the number one killer in the capital who has been hiding for a long time.
