In the Song Dynasty, there was no law or order.

Just as Zhao Zhen and his friends were discussing, Zhao Jun was still chatting with Yan Shu outside the Guanjia Hall.

The Jiaozi he just mentioned actually only solved the problem of the empty treasury, but the problem of merchants was still not solved.

When Yan Shu asked about this matter, he did not hesitate and quickly gave an answer.

"The problem of merchants is also simple. The big tea merchants and the local officials who colluded with them should be investigated and killed. They must not be lenient in confiscating their property and exterminating their families.

"The Song Dynasty tea was a monopoly system, and merchants could only get tea through tea permits. The Song Dynasty court could completely kill a group of disobedient tea merchants in the name of investigating corrupt officials."

"Then use the monopoly power of tea permits to support other obedient tea merchants, or let those small and medium-sized tea merchants unite to establish a chamber of commerce, the court will invest in it, and it will be semi-official and semi-private. It is much more convenient to use the chamber of commerce to transport grain to the border? ”

“In this way, holding a knife in one hand and a date in the other, we can support the smart and obedient ones and kill the stubborn ones. We can kill some, suppress some, and win over some, divide and rule, and then they will be obedient. ”

“And there is no need to worry that merchants will not come. If you don’t do it, there are plenty of people who will do it.”

“Just like the Korean Takagi Masao, we should vigorously support a group of chaebols, first develop the economy, and then slowly develop national strength.”

“In addition to tea merchants, there are also salt merchants, spice merchants, and grain merchants, who can all participate. With fierce competition, the inflated prices will naturally return to the actual prices. Wouldn’t this ease the financial pressure on the government? ”

“In summary, the tea system in the Song Dynasty was chaotic, and the emperor and the prime ministers were not very smart. They were slacking off in the court every day, and they didn’t know what politics was, and they didn’t know what it meant to use the power of the country for benign guidance. They were really stupid.”

“As long as the country conducts macro-control of the market like we do now, the Song Dynasty tea quotation system is actually a small problem and not worth mentioning. ”

Finally, he added: “Of course, we are in the new China, not the backward, decadent and outdated Song Dynasty. Song Renzong Lu Yijian and his group of idiots can’t hear what I say. It’s useless for me to say so much here. You village heads and party secretaries just need to listen. I’m just chatting with you because I’m bored. "

Lü Yijian, who had just come out of the palace, almost peed when he heard these words.

Is this kid addicted to scolding?

It's all Yan Shu's fault. Why did he have to mention him? Now Zhao Jun has to mention him when scolding others.

For a moment, Lü Yijian couldn't help but look at his old friend with a resentful look.

This scary whale.

On the contrary, Zhao Zhen smiled again, feeling happy in his heart.

He hoped that Zhao Jun would mention him less when scolding others in the future, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to scold him every time and he couldn't talk back.

And this doesn't seem to be a bad thing.

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but turn his mind around. It seems that he should mention the ministers under his rule more in the future.

First, it can make him know which ones are loyal and which ones are treacherous. Second, it can divert the firepower and let Zhao Jun scold them, so that he can be less It's good to be scolded.

Everyone came over and continued to listen to Zhao Jun's chatter.

Zhao Jun actually gave a solution to the Jiaoyin method.

The opposing forces are tea merchants and court officials, so they will start with these two aspects.

The court officials think that it will lead to an empty treasury, so they will use Jiaozi to open a bank to make up for the empty treasury.

The tea merchants adopted a divide and rule approach.

Because the new policy can quickly get cash, some tea merchants who need to recover funds are more supportive of the new policy.

With the support of these tea merchants who support the new policy, the court does not have to worry about having no one to use.

The tea merchants who oppose the new policy are those with a relatively strong financial situation. They do not need to recover funds so quickly, but require the court to settle the money slowly, but they have to settle it with nearly twice the actual estimate.

And the tea policy will not only give Funds will be given to tea merchants, and tea permits will also be given to tea merchants. Although tea merchants still have to pay to get tea from the tea farm, they will also be given certain discounts.

Therefore, for tea merchants with strong financial resources, waiting for a while can not only get a lot of funds from the Song Dynasty government, but also get enough tea monopolized by the government at the tea farm. The profit is more than one or two times the difference, so why not do it?

However, they forgot that the Song Dynasty court was the maker of this set of rules and order. The Song Dynasty monopolized tea, and private tea merchants could only get tea permits by doing grain transportation tasks, and could only get tea from tea farms.

The tea farm was controlled by the court, which also meant that the monopoly of who could get tea and who could not get tea was in the hands of the court. If you want to make a profit through loopholes in the laws promulgated by the Song Dynasty court, then it is not Is it funny?

So Zhao Zhen only needs to hold the monopoly of tea in his own hands, support a group of obedient tea merchants, and let them give up the originally inflated part of the profit, which will naturally save expenses.

Everyone thought this method was very good.

The only problem is that Zhao Jun seems to be a ruthless person.

Zhao Zhen, Lu Yijian, Yan Shu and others looked at Zhao Jun who was still talking, with mixed feelings.

I thought to myself, are the future people in the future really hot-blooded and decisive?

When talking about the Qingli New Deal before, he always talked about killing a group of corrupt officials who violated the law.

Now he has started to target merchants again, and he said that he would confiscate their property and exterminate their clans. The means are really cruel.

It seems that the young people in the future are indeed arrogant and have a rare bloodiness in the Song Dynasty.

Soon the morning passed. Zhao Jun felt a little hungry and was helped back to his room. After lunch, he sat outside in the sun and chatted with Yan Shu about the history of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that the history mentioned by Zhao Jun is relatively fragmented, and he has not sorted out the complete historical process with Yan Shu. Therefore, the information Yan Shu has now is relatively incomplete, and he can only get some intermittent historical news.

For example, after Yan Shu, the Northern Song Dynasty was followed by the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Southern Song Dynasty was followed by the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, followed by the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Republic of China and New China.

But he didn't know exactly what major events happened inside.

Including when the Jingkang Disgrace occurred, the specific details, and what exactly Song Huizong, Song Qinzong, Song Gaozong and others did to trigger the Jingkang Disgrace, he had no idea.

no way.

Yan Shu could only try his best to guide him and let him take the initiative to talk about history, but did not dare to directly participate in Zhao Jun's discussion of history.

He doesn't know the history after the Renzong Dynasty. What if he says something wrong and is suspected?

So currently only one record can be made.

In the afternoon, the ministers who had digested the knowledge for a long time gathered together again in Guanjia Hall.

"The information we have now is as follows. Everyone knows what happened before the Guan Dynasty. After the Guan Dynasty, the successors were Song Yingzong Zhao Shu, Zhao Yunrang's son, Song Shenzong Zhao Xu, Song Zhezong Zhao Xu, Song Huizong Zhao Ji, Song Qinzong Zhao Huan."

In the Guanjia Hall, Yan Shu held the recording paper in his hand and read: "The incompetence of Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan led to the disgrace of Jingkang, the Jin army attacked the city, and the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty. Then Zhao Gou, the ninth son of Zhao Ji, went south to Hangzhou on Jiangnan East Road to establish the Southern Song Dynasty. In the 152nd year of the Nine Emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty, they were wiped out by the rise of the Meng Yuan Dynasty in the north, and the Song Dynasty was finally destroyed!"

"Officials, in my opinion, we don't need to worry about things after the Southern Song Dynasty. The top priority now is how to develop national power and strengthen itself so that the Song Dynasty can avoid the Jingkang humiliation in the future."

Fan Zhongyan said.

"Um."

Zhao Zhen nodded, but also said: "But we can't ignore it completely. If we can know the development of future generations and learn from experience and lessons, we can avoid many detours."

"I heard Zhao Jun say that the power of science and technology is infinite. Only by developing the industrial revolution can national power spurt out."

"But who can do that?"

"It seems that we can only wait until Zhao Jun's eyes regain sight before we can talk."

"It should be soon. So, why don't we just wait during this period? Why don't we plan the tea ceremony, so that if Zhao Jun regains his sight in the future, he will have to hand over this job to him. We haven't done anything, and he will inevitably return the favor. You have to blame us for being useless.”

"But speaking of it, do we really want to leave it to him to handle important national affairs in the future? It is true that Zhao Jun is a descendant, but he has no identity and is not from the imperial examination. How can he take on such an important task?"

Everyone was talking freely, this was the doubt raised by Vice Prime Minister Song Shou.

Zhao Zhen mused: "Zhao Jun said that he is one of the top graduates in the country in later generations. I think his knowledge is indeed extraordinary, and many of the things he proposes are also very novel. It doesn't matter whether he can be responsible for national affairs, isn't it? Can some gentlemen take care of me?"

"Yes, although we are old, as the prime minister, we still have no problem helping him to check things. Let's spread Jiaozi in Bianliang first, and then recruit wealthy businessmen to discuss these matters. What do you think?"

Wang Zeng said.

"What the Prime Minister said makes sense."

Several people looked at each other, and then suddenly laughed, although it was inevitable that this important national matter would be handed over to a young boy in his twenties.

But with several of their prime ministers behind the scenes to help Zhao Jun, there would be no mistakes no matter what.

The literati of the Song Dynasty have always had the courage to reform.

"Um."

Lu Yijian also said: "Although Jiaozipu failed in Shu, it would really benefit the country if it could be completed. And according to Zhao Jun, later generations of banks evolved from Jiaozipu in the Song Dynasty into money banks in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The bank account eventually became the New Bank of China, which shows that this thing is indeed necessary for the country. As for the issue of Zhao Jun’s identity.”

At the beginning, he suggested taking a long-term approach, such as waiting until Zhao Jun regained his sight before proceeding. But Zhao Zhen had already made up his mind and decided to pilot it in Bianliang first. That was naturally another matter, so he began to support it.

"It's easy."

Yan Shu laughed: "There are people who forge the "Jidou Book" and "Public Inspection" among the people to do evil things. But if the "Ji Dou Book" and "Public Inspection" are made by the government, is it still called forgery? ? That is a real thing, it depends on whether the official wants to admit him into the clan."

"Jidou Book" is the household registration book during the Tang and Song Dynasties, which is the household registration system of later generations. It can also be said to be the household registration book.

Because in ancient times, ordinary people in Shengdou might never leave their place of residence throughout their lives. The most they would do was visit the county town. Therefore, they only needed to register at their place of residence without issuing additional certificates.

But if you cross the state and go to other places outside the county, you have to go to the government to apply for a "public verification". This thing is equivalent to an ID card, which will not only record your basic information, but also your portrait, fingerprints, etc. Only the seal of the local government is valid. If you forge it, you will be punished.

However, those who committed crimes forged the "Jidou Book" and the public inspection. No matter how authentic they were, they were still fake. But once the government enters your identity information, that thing is real. Even if your life experience is fabricated, it is extremely true, and it is not a forgery.

So the identity problem is very easy to solve. The only problem is whether Zhao Zhen wants to enroll him into the royal family. If he does, it will be much more troublesome. He needs to go through the Zongzheng Temple and issue the clan jade disc. He will definitely not be able to hide it from the Grand Zongzheng..

Hearing Yan Shu's words, Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "Forget about enrolling him into the royal family. Although he is a descendant of my Zhao family, this thing cannot be completely accurate. What's more, the current Grand Zongzheng."

As he said this, his brows furrowed. At present, Zhao Yunrang is not actually the King of Pu, because he was posthumously conferred. During his lifetime, he was the King of Runan County, and he has not yet ascended to the throne. He is the Grand Zongzheng.

Although there is nothing dirty between him and Zhao Yunrang, Zhao Yunrang has been the emperor's reserve for a period of time. It was after his father, Song Zhenzong's eldest son, Zhao You, the King of Zhou, died that he was worried about having no children, so he took Zhao Yunrang to the palace to raise him. As a result, when Zhao Zhen was born, he was sent away.

It can be said that if Zhao Zhen had not been born, Zhao Yunrang would probably be the current official of the Song Dynasty. Especially after hearing that he would not have a son in the future and the throne of the Song Dynasty would be passed to Zhao Yunrang's son, Zhao Zhen felt even more uncomfortable.

Even though this person had no real power and could not do anything big, Zhao Zhen did not want to give him any handle. Zhao Jun was the top priority, and this matter must be kept secret and must not be publicized.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen said again: "I reiterate again that Zhao Jun's affairs are the top secret of the Song Dynasty. Except for you, it must not be spread out. If Liaoxia knew that we have a future person who knows the direction of history, they would be terrified and would get him at all costs, or even destroy him. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

Lü Yijian, Yan Shu, Fan Zhongyan and others bowed their hands.

Now not many people know Zhao Jun. Yan Shu delivers his meals every day, and even helps him to go to the toilet.

The guards outside the door stood far away and basically could not hear their conversation. Zhao Zhen had already issued a gag order and a prohibition order. The guards who were originally on duty were all stationed in the back garden and were not allowed to enter or leave.

Even Zhao Zhen's trusted eunuch Wang Shouzhong could not get close to eavesdrop on their conversation, so the news in the palace could still be blocked.

The only problem was the children and the old woman.

Now they all lived in the back garden.

Fortunately, the back garden was quite spacious, and the craftsmen were now building some wooden houses, preparing to officially start building a Nini Village.

It has been a month since Zhao Jun traveled here. According to the imperial physician, as long as he persisted in acupuncture and moxibustion to disperse the blood stasis in his brain, if he was lucky, he would be able to see something in ten days or half a month. If he was a little unlucky, he should be able to see the light in about two months, and he would be completely able to see in three or four months.

Now Zhao Jun changed the gauze every day, but his eyes could only see a little blurry line at present, which meant that he was the type with bad luck and it would take more than two months to recover.

So in the next period of time, they had to get more useful information from Zhao Jun as soon as possible.

Just one chapter today, more tomorrow. There is nothing I can do about the update issue. Other people only update 2 chapters a day when they start a new book, and each chapter is 2,000 words. After 30 days on the new book list, the book will be put on the shelves with 120,000 words, and then they update dozens of chapters. I directly update at least 6,000 words a day for a new book, and there are several times when the daily updates are over 10,000 words. Now it's almost 110,000 words after only 13 days of opening the book, and it will be automatically removed from the new book list after 200,000 words. Basically, it can't even stay on the new book list for 30 days, which is already an absolutely conscientious update. The key is that everyone should continue to follow the reading. If there is no reading data, I won't recommend it, and if there is no recommendation, no one will read it. If the vicious cycle continues, the update will definitely not come up. So everyone should follow the reading more, vote more, and reward more to keep it energetic. I beg you all.
