A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

"Guan family, Bianliang is crazy!"

Zhao Shu was having breakfast when Chen Zhongheng risked being punished and sent a message.

"What's crazy?"

Zhao Shu was a little impatient. If Chen Zhongheng couldn't tell the truth, he would not be stingy in scolding him.

Chen Zhongheng smiled and said: "Officials, many people in Bianliang City have resigned..."

Zhao Shu had just taken a bite of the soup cake. Hearing this, he lost all appetite and sighed: "Why? Who is causing trouble?"

Who would quit their job without any reason? And once resignations become a trend, Bianliang City may be paralyzed.

He was not one of those princes who grew up in a deep palace. He was looked down upon in his early years, and the same was true after leaving the palace. Earlier he even had to go out on his own to get some groceries.

So he knew what would happen if Bianliang lost those people.

Chen Zhongheng shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"I do not understand you?"

Zhao Shu frowned and said, "Get out!"

This is quite polite. If it were anyone else, they would just get out!

Chen Zhongheng walked out dejectedly, and a voice came from behind him: "Let Zhang come here for eight years."

Later, Zhang Ba8en came and said, "The official family is in trouble because of Jin Feidan."

Zhao Shu looked at the time, stood up and said, "I'll tell you on the way."

As an emperor, he cannot be late unless he is sick or has something to do.

Zhang Baibian followed and said: "There used to be many outsiders in Bianliang. These people made a living in Bianliang, and many of them worked... I asked about it and said that the land in my hometown was not enough to support a family, so I left home. .”

Zhao Shu's expression brightened slightly. He liked hearing these things, it made him feel like he had a firm grip on the country.

"Now that the Golden Fertilizer Pill has come out, those people can make a profit by going home to farm. In addition, it is difficult to leave their homeland, so they all quit their jobs and go back."

Zhao Shu nodded and said, "Go and call Shen An."

…

Shen An drank too much with Su Shi last night and was still having a headache when she was woken up.

"The official is letting me into the palace!"

Shen An stared at his wife intently, feeling like there were countless knives poking at his head.

"Headache."

Yang Zhuoxue said helplessly: "The people in the palace are waiting."

Shen An got up reluctantly, and then drank a bowl of porridge, feeling more relaxed in his stomach.

When they approached Xuandemen, Shen An's head still felt like it was about to explode.

"Waiting for the imperial edict, Golden Fertilizer Pill..."

Several businessmen looked at Shen An with complicated expressions, and Shen An smiled without knowing why.

"Shen An!"

A man suddenly flashed out, stood in front of Shen An, and shouted: "You... ow!"

Shen An was still hungover and was startled by this man, so he subconsciously kicked him.

This kick hit the man's face with a crack...

"Ouch..."

The bone on the face usually hurts when hit, but the man's bone was broken. He fell to the ground and howled miserably, but could not roll.

Shen An was stunned for a moment, shook his head to wake himself up, and then he was shocked to find that this person turned out to be that Wang Fei.

I go!

The chamberlain who came to summon Shen An said with a confused look on his face: "What should we do about this matter?"

He had never encountered anyone summoned by the government to kick someone's leg off.

This seems to be illegal, right?

What to do?

Shen An said innocently: "He suddenly jumped out to scare people. You know, a certain man is coming back from fighting in the northwest. When he encountered something like this, he thought it was a sneak attack, so..."

"ah……"

Wang Bian's miserable howl made people have a headache. When the people from the Inspection Department came, they also had a headache when they saw that it was Shen An.

"Awaiting the edict..."

Shen An said helplessly: "Everyone saw it. He suddenly jumped out and shouted loudly. Someone thought it was a sneak attack, so he kicked him. Who knew his bones were not strong enough, so he broke."

The people in the Inspection Department looked confused, and someone asked: "I dare to ask Daizhao, is this meritorious service... enough?"

Shen An's eyes lit up and he said, "Enough, enough."

The sergeant from the Inspection Department smiled and said, "Just wait for the edict and go."

"Thank you very much."

The chamberlain probably rarely came out, so when he saw the people from the inspection department settling the case like this, he couldn't help but curse.

After entering the palace, Shen An was taken to the small court meeting. The chamberlain asked an acquaintance: "Well, Shen An kicked someone's leg outside earlier. The people from the inspection department asked what credit was enough." Shen An An said it was enough, and the people from the Inspection Department let him go. Why is that?"

Another chamberlain frowned and said, "You don't know?"

When the chamberlain saw his expression, he became a little panicked: "The palace must be well-informed to avoid making mistakes. What's going on? Is there something going on here?"

The chamberlain laughed and said, "That man made too many meritorious deeds, and the officials couldn't reward him, so they beat people to offset his merits."

The waiter said with a curious expression: "Is this okay?"

…

"Your Majesty, a lot of people are gone. Yesterday, I asked someone to bring wine and food to my house, but they didn't arrive. I immediately got angry and was about to have an attack. The shopkeeper of the restaurant actually sent the wine and food himself. Looking at I was dying of exhaustion. When I asked, I found out that three of the clerks in his store had left, and there was not enough manpower."

Han Qi glanced at Fu Bi while speaking, somewhat provocatively.

I am the Prime Minister and I can overwhelm you with my words. What do you want?

Fu Bi snorted coldly and said: "Your Majesty, I just drank porridge yesterday. Thinking of the good harvest of those people, I am very happy. I am happy for the Song Dynasty and for Your Majesty. This joy is so great that I can get drunk even without drinking. , I’m full!”

You, Han Qi, are just a fool. You only know how to eat and see how fat you have become? There is no trace of Zaifu's decency.

Han Qi sneered: "Drinking porridge? Are you pretending to be poor?"

That's how angry it got.

As an emperor, it is the best state to have conflicts between the prime minister and his assistants. If they talk, laugh and support each other, Zhao Shu may not be able to sleep at night.

But it was a bit too much to directly say that the other party was pretending to be poor. Zhao Shu was about to stop, when the waiter came outside.

"Your Majesty, Shen An is here."

"Let him in."

Fu Bi snorted coldly, rolled up his sleeves and stopped looking at Han Qi.

As soon as Shen An came in, he felt that the atmosphere was not right. After saluting, Zhao Shu said: "The news of the increase in income spread yesterday, and many people working in Bianliang have left. Now everyone is complaining."

He is the emperor, so naturally he won't ask 'what to do', but his ministers have to be discerning.

Han Qi had just won a complete victory in the battle with Fu Bi, and was in a very good mood at the moment, so he said: "Your Majesty, we have to find a way to keep these people here."

Zhao Shu nodded slightly. There were suddenly a lot of people missing in a city. Everyone was not used to it, and there was a lot of trouble.

Shen An's head felt a little better, and he casually said: "Leave the market to the market!"

"What market?"

Shen An often said some new words. Although they were new, they were very appropriate.

Shen An tried his best to suppress a yawn and went back, and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, those people must have been farmers originally, but there was no future in farming, so they came to the city to work and make a living. This is to make a profit."

Zhao Shu nodded and said: "Human nature tends to benefit, this is true."

Shen An continued: "Now that the Golden Fertilizer Pill comes out, farming is booming. Those people seeking profit will naturally return to the countryside from the city. Your Majesty, this is the market."

Zhao Shu thought about it and felt that this was a good statement, "This is very true. What drives the people is profit."

Shen An said: "If that's the case, why bother?"

Han Qi said: "If we don't care, there will be a lot of shortage of people in the city. At that time, every family will be complaining, and many shops will not be able to maintain."

It’s just a labor shortage!

The presence of the old god Shen An was irritating, Zeng Gongliang said: "Did An Bei have an idea?"

Shen An nodded and said: "This matter is simple, I think I can just ignore it."

"Inaction? That's not a good idea!"

Han Qi is in high spirits today, quite a bit like he did back then.

"That's right!" Shen An rubbed his eyes, "Those merchants didn't pay enough. Who's to blame if the guy ran away? Did the government force him to intercept him? That's impossible. And I dare to say that in the afternoon at least, those merchants will raise their remuneration. people."

"But with the increase in remuneration, businessmen are making less money, and some may not be able to sustain themselves."

Shen An said seriously: "If you can't maintain it, there's nothing you can do. The market is decided by both parties. As for businessmen making less money, that's their business. If you have the ability, you can do a good job. If you don't, you can only be left behind. Others take their place.”

Zhao Shu said: "This is correct, but what if the merchants are reluctant to part with it?"

Shen An said: "I thought it was impossible."

Zhao Shu smiled and said, "Let's go and find out."

Someone went out to inquire about the news. Zhao Shu smiled and said: "You have made a great contribution to the Song Dynasty regarding the Jin Feidan matter..."

"Your Majesty is wrong."

Shen An interrupted him very rashly and said with a stern face: "The King and the minister worked out the Golden Fat Pill together. The King is the master and the minister is the assistant, so the credit cannot be attributed to the minister."

this……

Zhao Shu smiled more when he heard that his son was involved.

Fu Bi lost no time and said: "Your Majesty, the king is mature and does things in an orderly manner. These ministers think that it should be publicized. After all, it is a happy royal event."

Zhao Shu glanced at Shen An thoughtfully and said, "Let this matter... let it take its course."

Zhao Shu didn't believe that Zhao Xu was the master, but Shen An was so sensible that he secretly approved of it.

The so-called high merit without reward refers to the trouble caused by doing too much merit.

Shen An avoided this trouble himself, which was a good thing for Zhao Shu.

The proceedings will begin later.

"His Majesty."

The person who inquired about the information came back and said: "Many businessmen outside have posted notices saying that they are raising wages to hire people to work!"

Zhao Shu looked at Shen An, nodded and said: "Sure enough, you were right. Good!"

Even if the matter was settled at this point, Ouyang Xiu Ming yawned, "Your Majesty, this is the market that Shen An said. He has found a way without the intervention of the central government. I think it is good. There will be less interference from merchants in the future." good."

"But be careful, there are severe penalties for tax evasion!"

Han Qi abhors tax evasion, UU Reading www.uukanshu. netｔThis is all due to poverty.

Zaifu has no money, so he might as well be a magistrate!

Zhao Shu said with a smile: "Shen An knows a lot about businessmen. I'll ask him next time if I have anything to do. It's just that you didn't reward your meritorious service this time."

"His Majesty."

The chamberlain who reported the news said with a tangled look on his face: "I heard a piece of news when I just went out... Shen Daizhao broke Wang Bian's leg!"

Damn it!

Zhao Shu had a dark look on his face!

The prime ministers and assistants have a dark look on their faces!

Shen An looked innocent!

The third update is here, good night!
