A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

The blood on the sea gradually faded, and the fleet began to count the harvest.

Qin Zhen and Chang Jianren were talking about the impact of this battle until someone reported the harvest.

"Thirty-five warships, filled with food, water, and a lot of meat..."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Many people laughed when they heard this.

After being at sea for so long, the clean water on the ship has been decreasing, and everyone can only use the quota, which is very unhappy.

The vegetables have been eaten long ago, and the only meat left is bacon, which is hard and salty enough to make you want to vomit.

"I need to take a bath and eat meat."

"I want to drink a bucket of water in one breath, hahahaha!"

The sergeants cheered, and Qin Zhen said: "The imperial edict said that vegetables can supplement many things and prevent people from getting sick at sea. We only have beans and tea left now. These things come just in time!"

Chang Jianren said: "I don't know where Tai Zhao knew this. I asked those boatmen who often go to sea. They said that kind of disease can kill people, but there are few of us here. If I ask carefully, they will take them with them when they go to sea. Gather beans, grind tofu, or grow bean sprouts. There are also tea leaves, so you can make a cup of tea when you have nothing to do."

"In this way... we can sail far away in the future."

Qin Zhen looked into the distance and said: "In my lifetime, I must go and see what is overseas. What are those rumored places like..."

Chang Jianren said calmly: "They are all from the Song Dynasty!"

"Military Commander, I'll take my leave."

The two warships of the Dengzhou navy were defeated in this battle, but they also lost more than ten heads, so the commander could not even see his smiling eyes.

They then returned to Dengzhou the next day.

Dengzhou was the first base of the Song Dynasty navy, and it was also the first line of defense against the Liao army's attack by sea.

"Anihilated all the Liao people?"

The generals of the Dengzhou navy were stunned.

"Isn't the Tiger Wing Marine Army just an army? How can it be so powerful?"

The commander said: "Military Commander, the Tiger Wing Marines used a very powerful thing that would explode. They put those things in clay pots and threw them over. Good guy, they killed countless Liao troops. Then they jumped. help……"

"Will it explode?"

"Yes, it will explode."

"What the hell! Why don't you equip me with Dengzhou navy? No, I'm going to write a letter to the Central Government!"

"Military leader, he said it was something created by Shen An."

"Shen An?"

Everyone was silent for a while, and someone said: "Military leader, Shen An values ​​Qin Zhen. Now the Bianliang Navy has new ships and sophisticated weapons."

"But they have a civil servant named Yuhou, hahahaha..."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they thought of Chang Jianren in the Tiger Wing Navy.

Only the commander who came to report did not laugh. He said awkwardly: "Military Commander, that Chang Jianren... is very powerful!"

"Very powerful?"

The general said with a confused look: "Isn't he just a painter? Can he still kill enemies with a paintbrush?"

He looked around, and all the generals under his command burst out laughing.

Amidst these joking laughter, the commander said: "Facing the powerful Liao army, he stood together with the gang-hopping soldiers, no, he stood at the front. In the gang-hopping battle, he was the first He jumped over and killed the strongest Liao man... He led his men across the deck, no one could defeat him..."

The general looked at his sacred appearance and smiled: "I thought you were talking about so and so... uh..."

The commander's expression was very solemn, "Military Commander, I am talking about the painter Du Yuhou. I have witnessed all this with my own eyes and I am absolutely telling the truth."

There was a moment of silence, and everyone looked at each other.

"Did you read that correctly?"

The general shouted in a stern tone. He felt that his subordinates were possessed by evil spirits.

The commander said firmly: "He is full of bones and bones. Even if the subordinate is blind, he will not admit his mistake."

"Oh...fuck!"

"Is that so?"

No one expected Chang Jianren to be so tough and unrestrained. Everyone wanted to see Qin Zhen’s jokes and see how he got along with his deputy, but what they didn’t expect was that Chang Jianren gave everyone a Accident……

unexpected surprise!

…

It was chilly in Bianliang in early winter, but it was very hot above the court.

"It's almost the end of the year, how's it going with Sansi?"

Zhao Shu was very nervous.

This was his first year after he ascended the throne. Although he was still using the title of Jiayou, the second half of the year truly belonged to him.

How is his Song Dynasty doing this year?

Financial revenue determines next year, and Zhao Shu hopes to be more relaxed. He really doesn't want to live a life of strings and buckles anymore.

The same is true for Han Qi. As prime minister, he was always constrained by insufficient money when handling government affairs. He was in pain and tied up.

Fu Bi had a deep understanding. As a privy envoy, the huge consumption in the army made what he wanted to do most every day was to find a rope to hang himself.

So money!

At this moment, all the monarchs and ministers in the court were obsessed with money. They wished they could open Bao Zheng's head and see the data inside.

Bao Zheng stood up and said calmly: "This year... Your Majesty, this year has been difficult. The late emperor passed away and the construction of the mausoleum consumed a lot of money. I and my colleagues in the Third Division have tried their best, but they can barely survive." …”

Zhao Shu nodded, this was a tragedy and he couldn't stop it.

The death of every emperor not only brings sadness, but also countless troubles. Among them, what troubles those in power the most is the construction of the mausoleum.

There were no excavators or explosives in these days, so we almost relied on manpower to build the huge mausoleum, which cost an astonishing amount of money and food.

The small treasury in the palace was almost emptied. Zhao Shu felt like crying every time he looked at the empty treasury, feeling that he was probably the poorest emperor in history.

And the important ministers are praying, praying that he can live longer.

If Zhao Shu died immediately, the Song Dynasty would probably collapse financially in order to build his mausoleum.

There is great terror between life and death, but for living people, the worry between life and death is more about money.

"This year's annual income is good, especially around Bianliang. Thanks to the bumper grain harvest, people dare to spend money, businessmen dare to purchase large quantities, and taxes everywhere have been significantly increased..."

This is agriculture driving business, which is the best economic model at this time.

"Next is the Shipping Department. It's winter now, and there are very few merchant ships to follow, so I just made a rough calculation." Bao Zheng glanced at Wang Anshi.

There were many people coming to today's court meeting, and Wang Anshi was also there. After being glanced at by Bao Zheng, he felt a slight movement in his heart.

Shibo Division, last time Wang Yu followed Chen Ang to the south to clean up the Shibu Division, and he made great contributions.

"This year's shipping company's revenue will be over 1.2 million yuan!"

"so many?"

Zhao Shu was surprised.

Han Qi lost his composure and said: "Didn't you say one million guan? There are actually 200,000 guan more."

Although the Song Dynasty had a large annual income, it was very difficult to increase it. The previous annual income of Shibosi was about 600,000 to 700,000 yuan, but this time it doubled.

What an unexpected surprise!

The extra 600,000 yuan can solve many things.

Zhao Shu praised: "Who was it last time?"

"Your Majesty, it's Chen Ang and Wang Yu." Han Qi's memory was worthy of pride, "But it was Shen An's suggestion. Without Shen An's suggestion, the Shipping Department would still be under the control of those moths."

When Wang Anshi came to Beijing, he showed the style of a new generation of reformers (Leng Touqing). People with this kind of temperament naturally aroused the vigilance of the veterans, especially Han Qi and others who had experienced the Qingli New Deal, and felt that they should be careful about this person. .

The Song Dynasty cannot have another stormy New Deal, otherwise this big ship will capsize.

So Wang Yu's name just shined for a moment before it was covered up by Shen An's name.

Zhao Shu nodded and said: "When Shen An promised that the Shipping Department would achieve an annual income of one million yuan, many people thought that this person was a big talker and a liar? What other nonsense..."

"Yes." Zeng Gongliang remembered Shen An's determination back then and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, "Your Majesty, although young people are not stable, their momentum is rare. Stability is needed in court, but momentum is also indispensable..."

These words were very beautiful, but Han Qi couldn't help but stare at him.

Did you, Zeng Gongliang, want to replace Mr. X as Prime Minister?

What a wolfish ambition!

At this moment, Han Qi wanted to take action.

Zhao Shu looked at these changes very calmly, and he said: "The Third Division is the steward of the Song Dynasty. Since Bao Qing went to the Third Division, the finances of the Song Dynasty have become much more stable, which shows Bao Qing's ability. Although I came to the throne, The days are not long, but I can feel Bao Qing's rigor during these days..."

Han Qi and Mr. Zeng, who were having a secret fight, looked at each other, and both of them felt their chrysanthemums go cold.

Ouyang Xiu even felt as if a cold wind was blowing behind his buttocks. It was chilly and extremely uncomfortable.

Does the official family want to reuse Bao Zheng?

If he were reused, Bao Zheng would be the third envoy at this moment. The three ministers are called prime ministers, but they are not prime ministers after all.

Then... Han Qi and the three people standing in front of him are in danger.

Bao Zheng seemed unaware, "Your Majesty, next year the Song Dynasty's finances will be much better. First, the Golden Fertilizer Pill has been spread, and incomes will increase everywhere. Farmers will have more money and grain when their incomes increase. They will go shopping, and merchants will I will buy more things... This is a good change, and taxes in various places will increase next year..."

Zhao Shu said with a smile: "The people's life is getting better, and taxes have also increased. This is a good life for the emperor, his ministers and the people!"

If Shen An were here, he would say this is a win-win situation.

Make the cake bigger, and then the benefits to all parties will increase. This is the way to manage money.

Bao Zheng continued: "Next year's income increase will mainly depend on farmers, followed by the shipping company."

"Can the Shipping Company increase its revenue?"

Zhao Shu felt that it might not be possible in the short term.

Bao Zheng said confidently: "Yes. Shen An told me privately that he has a complete plan to increase the revenue of the Municipal Shipping Department, and he is just waiting to be implemented step by step."

"good!"

Zhao Shu said happily: "If this is the case, gentlemen, if the Song Dynasty reorganizes its military equipment, a prosperous age will not be far away."

Han Qi and others are also looking forward to it.

"Ever since I was studying, I have been thinking about what the prosperous times were like." Han Qi also had a difficult life at that time, so he said with regret, "Later, I saw the prosperous times of the Han and Tang Dynasties in the history books. One of them was that the people had enough food and clothing. Victory in all foreign battles..."

Today's people in the Song Dynasty still dare not talk about food and clothing. UU Reading www.uukanshu. net But with the popularity of Jinfeidan, this day is not far away.

As for foreign wars, the Song Dynasty seems to have never lost in recent years.

At this moment, both the emperor and his ministers thought of one person.

Shen An!

It was he who made the golden fat elixir that brought food and clothing.

He was also the inventor of powerful military weapons such as the divine crossbow and gunpowder.

He is there to feed and clothe the people, to win external affairs... he is there.

Zhao Shu nodded and said: "I am looking forward to that day coming, please do your best."

He was a little emotional, and so were Han Qi and others. They all bowed and said: "I will do my best and die for myself."
