A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

In the afternoon, it is best to drink a cup of hot tea and then lean on the latest thin quilt for a while.

Zhao Shu likes this. When he wakes up and sees the sun shining in the house, he will have a feeling of coming out of the dust.

Sunshine represents light many times, and this moment is no exception.

Zhao Shu's head was sweating and his back was dripping with sweat.

"Somebody come!"

The ajar door was pushed open, and Chen Zhongheng was the first to come in, followed by the two palace maids.

"Official..."

There was a sudden surge of light. Zhao Shu felt uncomfortable and covered his eyes with his hands.

Chen Zhongheng saw the sweat on his face and ordered: "Get a towel quickly."

The palace maid brought a towel over, and Zhao Shu took it himself, then slowly wiped away the sweat.

There was still some residual horror in his eyes.

"I had a dream before, about life and death..."

He remembered that too real dream and couldn't help but shudder.

In that dream, he was hacked to death, and immediately a raging fire broke out in the palace, with countless people running and screaming.

"That's hell!"

He said weakly: "Let the prime ministers and assistants come."

"yes."

Chen Zhongheng felt that the officials should not sleep at this time, but he did not dare to persuade him.

Later, when the ministers and ministers came, Zhao Shu tiredly talked about the dream, "...What sign is this?"

He already has the consciousness of an emperor and feels that everything he says and does echoes God.

The emperor's nightmares must have something to do with the human world.

But none of the three prime ministers were masters of dream interpretation. After looking at each other, Han Qi bravely came out and said: "Guan family, this...sees blood! This is a good omen...yes, a good omen, blood is red...Who said that? Shen Come on, he said that only those who are lucky can win money... The official family is going to make a fortune."

Not only Zhao Shu didn't believe this, but Han Qi himself didn't believe it either.

"Um...didn't Su Shi save more than 10,000 yuan? This is not a small amount of money!"

Ouyang repaired the knife, and Han Qi suddenly wanted to kill someone.

Officials have nightmares, haven’t you ever had one? Having done this, you naturally know that this is a weak period, so you can coax it through and get it done. I wonder what you are going to talk about.

Besides, more than 10,000 yuan is just a drop in the bucket for the official family. It doesn't matter if you don't mention it, it will make you angry if you mention it.

"Su Shi……"

Zhao Shu thought of Su Shi, whom Gao Taotao often mentioned, and asked, "Are those people definitely his admirers?"

"yes."

The king and his ministers were silent.

We are all men, so why would Su Shi’s admirers be willing to bleed blood?

"It's sometimes difficult for me to get some money. Su Shi... is so enviable!"

Zhao Shu was really envious, "The palace is short of money recently. I originally wanted to show the prince the wedding, but the person in charge said that he couldn't even buy gifts."

Well!

The official family actually cried for poverty.

But thinking about it, he was really poor. Han Qi pondered: "How about...ask Bao Zheng?"

Ouyang Xiu asked boldly: "Where is the sealing pile warehouse?"

Han Qi immediately kept silent, Zeng Gongliang pretended to be stupid, Zhao Shu was angry...

The so-called sealed pile warehouse was built by Boss Zhao back then, specifically to store money in it, waiting to be used during the Northern Expedition.

After Zhao Lao Er died, Zhao Lao Er succeeded to the throne and renamed the Fengzhuang Treasury to the Neizang Treasury, so it was logical that the money became the emperor's private property.

When Zhenzong arrived, the external environment of the Song Dynasty was harsh, and they even fought with the Liao people. During this period, Zhenzong opened internal storage warehouses several times.

By the time Renzong arrived, the three redundancies in the Song Dynasty were getting worse and worse, the finances could not make ends meet, and Renzong's ears were soft, so the door of the warehouse was never closed again after it was opened. People who read history books will often see some similar content, which begins with: leaving the inner treasury to carry **0,000 coins to a certain place, or leaving the inner treasury to bring **0,000 pieces of silk to a certain place...

When the old man passed away, Zhao Shu checked the inner storage and was really on the verge of crying.

No money!

After giving the remaining 300,000 yuan to Han Qi to repair Renzong's tomb, Zhao Shu found that he had become a pauper.

Well, this emperor turned into abject poverty as soon as he came to power. What should we do?

Calculated according to the income of the Song Dynasty royal family, the bulk is the tribute from various places. According to the rules, each place pays fixed tribute items every year.

Note that this is not money, but items.

The quantity of these items has not changed for many years, which means that the tribute paid to the emperor by the people of the world has not changed and has never increased.

When later generations saw this place, they lamented how the emperors of the Song Dynasty showed mercy to the people.

Only now did Han Qi and the other two people understand that the official family was poor.

But there’s nothing we can do about it!

After they dispersed, Han Qi sent someone to find Bao Zheng.

"Prime Minister Bao said, if you don't have any money, you will only lose your life!"

grass!

Han Qi wanted to strangle Bao Zheng to death, but thinking about Lao Bao's fighting prowess, he felt that he might not be able to defeat him.

I have no money, so who wants to die?

Lao Bao has become a miser since he became the Third Secretary. Most people can't get money from him.

Later, Zhao Shu's words came from the palace.

"...The officials said that Su Shi was able to do things well, with a breeze on his sleeves and a righteous spirit..."

Mrs. Chen, who was slapped by Su Shi, was writing a bombshell and was preparing to impeach Su Shi. After hearing this, she rushed out.

"Could it be that the officials are blind..."

Several officials outside looked at him and felt that this man was really a mad dog.

You can say things to make fun of officials, but what you said is wrong, right?

Then someone said something against him, and the punishment came later.

"There is something wrong with the Third Division, and I asked you to check it out."

Mrs. Chen said in shock: "Bao Zheng will kill someone!"

Shen An is Su Shi's protector, but Bao Zheng is Shen An's protector...

If I go to Sansi... I'm afraid I won't be able to come back!

"It is rumored that Bao Xiang is not in a good mood. Take care of yourself!"

…

Bao Zheng's mood was not good.

"Money, money, money! Money or life!"

Bao Zheng was furious: "It's funny enough for the officials. Since Emperor Zhenzong, the door of the Neicang Treasury has never been closed. Either there is disaster relief here, or there is a shortage of food... They all rely on the Neicang Treasury. Nowadays, the Neicang Treasury is The treasury is empty, you can’t watch the officials eat rice bran, right? Think of a way! If you can’t think of anything, your salary will be halved this month!”

"Bao Xiang..."

You can't do this!

It's not unlucky to end up with a superior like Lao Bao, at least he's fair. Since Bao Zheng came to Sansi, there have been a lot less intrigues, and everyone can just work with peace of mind.

But you can’t deduct your salary!

Some people couldn't help but said: "I'm afraid the officials and prime ministers will... cover up the prime minister. This is a bit taboo."

"I'm over sixty, don't be afraid!"

Well!

While everyone was thinking about how to reverse this desperate decision, someone outside reported: "Prime Minister Bao, Shen An is here."

"What is he here for?"

Bao Zheng's face brightened slightly, and after Shen An came in, he asked, "How is Zhuo Xue?"

"Fortunately, the doctor said it's no problem."

"That's good."

Bao Zheng glanced at him and asked, "What are you doing here?"

The gentleness ends here. If nothing goes wrong, Lao Bao's saliva will make Shen An collapse.

"Just now someone from the clan asked about the whereabouts of the money, saying that it should be used in the academy."

Well!

The officials in the duty room all stared at Bao Zheng with sharp eyes.

Boss, where is the money?

Doesn’t Sansi have a balance of that money now?

With 10,000 guan buying the qualifications for three generations to enter the academy, and 5,000 guan for one generation, Shen An tricked countless clans with just one idea, and left a lot of money in addition to building the academy.

Bao Zheng hesitated for a moment, "I have misappropriated a lot of money from the internal treasury over the years. I said I wanted to pay it back, but I have never paid it back..."

The money borrowed from the officials was taken for free, and no one thought about paying it back.

"But the money won't do it."

Shen An said: "This money was withheld from the clan. If it were given to the palace, would they say that the officials had defrauded them of their money..."

It has a bad reputation!

The wrinkles on Bao Zheng's face became more and more profound, and he sighed: "But the official family is also poor! But..."

"This matter is quite simple."

Shen An said casually, Bao Zheng stared at him and said with an evil look: "If you dare to deceive me, do you know the consequences?"

Shen An wiped his face subconsciously and said with a smile, "I don't dare."

"Talk about it."

Bao Zheng sat down tiredly, then picked up the tea cup and blew it slowly.

The slight fluctuations of water vapor reflected the vicissitudes of his deeply wrinkled face.

Shen An wanted to just deal with it, but when he saw that he was tired, he thought about it carefully and said, "Prime Minister Bao, this matter... I wonder if you still remember what happened when the prince was outside the palace?"

"Zhao Zhongzhen? No, it's the prince. What's the matter?"

"It's about his original investment in Anxiang..."

Bao Zheng's eyes lit up, and then he looked at the officials. He was about to speak and chase them away, but he held back.

It would be best to publicize this matter widely, lest someone behind the scenes make it up.

"Prime Minister Bao, the Yushitai sent Mrs. Chen here to check last year's expenditures..."

A clerk came outside. Bao Zheng was stunned for a moment, covered his forehead and said, "Mrs. Chen...why does she look familiar?"

Moreover, there is no problem if the Yushitai wants to check the expenditure ledger, but it has to be approved at the court meeting...

Now he didn't even say hello and just sent a bullshit censor. What does this mean?

An official nearby said seriously: "Prime Minister Bao, it is said that this person is at odds with Su Shi. He was the one who bankrolled Su Shi's purchase of the house."

"Um?"

Bao Zheng glanced at the honest Shen An and said calmly: "Are all the account books complete?" He felt that Yushitai was trying to show his kindness to Shen An...

This kindness is not small. He even sent Mrs. Chen here. This is like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth!

You, Bao Zheng, can clean up whatever you want for us, whatever you want!

"complete!"

"Then take him there and let him investigate slowly."

puff!

Shen An seemed to hear the sound of vomiting blood.

The expenditure account book of the third department!

That was the expenditure of the entire Song Dynasty. How much was it?

Going to check the accounts alone, Mrs. Chen still doesn't know how to check accounts and doesn't know the financial operation. It will take at least more than a year to figure it out, right?

Shen An mourned for Mrs. Chen for a moment in his heart, and then said: "That money has never been spent much, Bao Xiang, it's a lot!"

"how many?"

Bao Zheng only thinks about money at this moment, not asking about the origin.

"It's almost 200,000 yuan..."

There was silence in the room.

Two hundred thousand dollars?

Damn it!

In Anxiang, Zhao Xu's small head has 200,000 guan, and Shen An's big head, how much can he have?

Is this man so rich?

"horrible!"

Some people couldn't help but say: "Are you afraid that you will be so rich that you can't rival the country?"

Shen An said seriously: "It's fake. Most of UU Reading www.uukanshu.net's money was changed into banknotes."

Everyone recalled Shen An's decision to let Anxiang exchange banknotes for one hundred cents more, and they couldn't help but look at Shen An with admiration.

"The richest people in Bianliang are the worst, but most of the rich only care about their own enjoyment. Only those who have money are either donating it or doing things that are beneficial to the country. I admire you!"

Everyone bowed their hands and admired this young man seriously.

Shen An returned the gift.

Bao Zheng was overjoyed when he saw this and said, "Go and ask the prince if the money is willing to be used by the government for emergencies."

Shen An said: "The prince himself doesn't spend much money, so of course he is willing."

"In that case, you can follow me into the palace."
