Chapter 29 Helan Inkstone

Sixth update please subscribe and ask for monthly tickets

"Minister Wang, I heard that the Li family in Qingzhou made Sun Gong miserable." Zhu Qing said.

Wang Ju nodded.

After Sun Mian shouted angrily, officials from all over the country from all over the country started to investigate the crimes committed by the Li family in the past. If this continues, at least seven of the ten powerful families will be miserable, especially in the border areas, if they are involved in a private business, the proportion will be higher.

As a result, the Li family was in tragedy. Eleven people, including slaves, were exiled to Shamen Island, and twenty-four people were also stabbed to various prison cities. The remaining dozens of family members and servants were beaten to death by sticks, and then they were released.

No one sentenced to abandon the market, it was Sun Mian who was forgiven. This punishment was too ruthless. If the sentence was abandoned, it would have to be executed until autumn. Can Sun Mian survive until autumn? He was locked up in the Qingzhou prison, and perhaps the next magistrate came, which would bring some new changes. It would be ruthless to abandon the market if he was not sentenced to abandon the market.

Zhu Qing asked again: "County Wang, how did the Li family's property be handled?"

"Manager Zhu, is Dongweng interested in his property?"

"No, I mean Sun Gong has..."

"Manager Zhu, don't ask this question."

"Minister Wang, you haven't understood what I mean yet. I am worried that Mr. Sun might be dismissed from office this time. This is his last madness."

"You said private business."

"that is."

Anyway, Sun Mian wrote his resignation and knew that he would retire and return home soon. Moreover, he was older and he would not have the chance to hire him again, so he became very fond of making money. So Zhu Qing was afraid that Sun Mian would attack his private business and might drag Wang Ju into the water.

"Or simply stop the private business."

"Manager Zhu, don't be afraid, he won't." Wang Judao. At least he did not offend Sun Mian on the surface. Besides, he is an official and serves the country. If Sun Mian wants to reach out, he must not ignore the consequences. Besides, he is just a disciple and has descendants.

"That's good, Magistrate Wang, this is a Helan inkstone I got from the other side of the mountain."

Zhu Qing took out an inkstone and a Helan inkstone with beautiful workmanship.

Last time, Zhu Qing also got a very beautiful Helan inkstone, but Wang Ju gave it to Sun Mian.

Later generations said that China's four famous inkstones were one end, two Hui, three Tao and four Cheng, but in the Song Dynasty, there should be five famous inkstones, as well as Shandong Red Silk Inkstones.

These famous inkstones are very expensive and are rarely affordable for scholars. But in addition to these five famous inkstones, there are also some famous inkstones, Sizhou stone inkstones, Luzhou stone inkstones, Yanji Wujin inkstones, Le stone inkstones, and this Helan inkstones were very famous in the Song Dynasty.

But he was really careless about this Wang Ju, so he played with it for a while and placed it on the table.

Suddenly he picked up the inkstone and played with it again.

Don’t underestimate the Helan inkstone, because it is produced in Xixia and the production of high-quality Helan inkstones is very low, so the price is also extremely expensive in the Song Dynasty. So Wang Ju deliberately used the Helan inkstone sent by Zhu Qing as a gift and gave it to Sun Mian.

But the price is really hard to say.

According to commodity economy theory, prices are mainly caused by supply and demand.

For example, although the price of cattle in the Song Dynasty was abnormal, mainly due to the control of the court, it was also affected by supply and demand. First of all, because the court included cattle in property accounting, the benefits of raising one cattle were not as good as the losses caused by raising one cattle and plowing more land were not as good as the losses caused by one household. In addition, the court prohibited the people from killing cattle.

Some people kill cattle, which has little to do with the people. Most of them are merchants colluding with the seniors of the Lizheng, who pretended to be dead cattle to kill them for profit. Therefore, the people would rather spend their usual money to rent official cattle from the court a year than raise one cow to cultivate them.

It is this abnormal system that causes the demand for cows to seek prescriptions, so the price of cows is not high.

In addition, the promotion of various forces, such as during disasters, the court's wish is to suppress the increase in grain, and the merchants are hoarding and desperately increasing the price of grain for profit. If the court wins the battle of wits, even in the year of disaster, the price of grain will not fluctuate greatly. If the merchant wins the battle of wits, the victims will be in the sea of ​​fire.

But that is food and a necessity. If you don’t eat, you will starve to death. However, some commodities will still live without it. Therefore, its price is mainly due to supply and demand relationship and everyone’s recognition.

For example, calligraphy, painting, and livestock. If I don’t eat meat, I can eat fish and vegetables, but everyone agrees that 100 cents a pound of beef can be sold for 100 cents a pound.

However, some of this price are easy to judge, such as the livestock, fur, and medicinal materials produced in Xixia. Everyone has a standard in their minds. But some are difficult to judge, such as the Xia Guojian produced in Xixia, the Western Region jade spices sold in the Western Regions, and the Helan stone. It is said that it is worth one thousand guan, but as long as everyone agrees, it is worth one thousand guan. It is said that it is worth only one guan, but everyone does not agree, then two guan will not be sold. But how to get everyone's recognition, supply and demand relationship, and traders and moves from all parties!

"This is also an opportunity..." Wang Ju had a good idea in his heart.

But put down the inkstone.

It's a good idea, but it's not something he can afford to have the financial resources and power in his hands now.

"Minister Wang, there is one thing I have never told Erlang that the senior official felt a cold and had a serious illness during the Spring Festival this year."

"Manager Zhu, don't worry, Dongweng is less than fifty years old, he is in his prime, but he just got sick. That person has no minor illnesses and disasters? As for Erlang, when will he change completely, and when will I let him go back, otherwise he will always keep it by his side." Wang Ju said.

Zhu Qing is playing the card of tragedy.

Compared with other wealthy families in Yanzhou, the Zhu family is a little thin, and it is entirely due to Zhu Huan's wisdom. However, Zhu Qi is a manly style, which makes him not a man or a woman. Zhu Jun is a little stupid. He has a younger brother below, who is too young and is born to a concubine. When something happened to Zhu Huan, the prospects of the Zhu family were not good. So Zhu Qing deliberately told him that Zhu Huan was sick and hoped that he would teach Zhu Jun well. In fact, is it necessary to say?

Although I had received some small favors from the Zhu family in Wangjiazhai before, it was of equality and mutual assistance. If I were to beneficiary, the Zhu family would really help me when I came to Huachi County this time.

Almost Zhu Qing rushed to Huachi County.

He gave him a peach and rewarded him with his pampering help. With the help of the Zhu family, he also wanted to completely wipe out Zhu Jun's stupidity.

"By the way, Manager Zhu, there are some things here, continue to be printed on bamboo paper and distributed." Wang Ju took out a lot of paper heads from the study.

There are still twenty mathematical problems, but the Analects of Confucius was replaced by the Book of Changes. Not only the Analects of Confucius, but also the Book of Changes, but later, including the Book of Songs, Mencius, the Book of Rites, and the Three Biography of the Spring and Autumn Period, Wang Judu planned to all of them with punctuation marks and print them on bamboo paper advertisements to spread the world. He even had the opportunity to punctuate the meanings of Zhou Li, Yi Li, Mandarin, Erya and other classics and published them one by one.

"Okay, after I return to Yanzhou, I will send someone to Hangzhou immediately."

Zhu Qing left with these paper heads.

Wang Ju came to the county yard and asked the yamen runners to take the household registration of strong people and strong horses first. There was no way. Last year, the migration of many villages and villages changed. The villages changed, and strong people and strong horses also changed. Wang Ju had to send someone to recompile household registration documents for strengthening people and strong horses.

Then he brought a large map of Huachi County, compared it with the book book, and marked the number of strong men and horses in each village. After marking it for a while, Wang Ju said to a yamen runner beside him: "You go to Xihuachi Village and call Instructor Zhao for discussion."

"Here."

The yamen runner went down.

More than an hour later, Li Sangou rode his horse to the county government office.

Wang Ju looked at the map that marked the number of strong men and horses in various villages and said: "Uncle Sangou, how about I gather these strong men and horses together for a period of time?"

"Okay." Li Sangou replied.

After the expansion of the army, the number of New Ban cavalry soldiers was 950, the number of Poche soldiers was 516, and they were all cavalrymen, and both battalions were seriously overcompliant.

However, the other seventh battalions had reduced personnel in different levels of importance in three battles last year, so compared with before last year's war, Huachi County's troops had not increased much, with only more than 200 people. The total force was only more than 4,100 people.

But when the war comes, we cannot draw all the troops out. What should we do if the enemy tramples the way out? Therefore, the force that can be sent is only more than 3,000.

It is enough to deal with the Xixia people who plundered last year, but it will be pitifully small to deal with the tens of thousands of enemies that may have come. Wang Ju will be decisive to attack strong men and strong horses.

And last year, due to migration and resettlement, there was no training for strong men and strong horses in the autumn. The weather is just right now. Although the ice and snow have not melted, it is not as cold as in the late winter. There is still more than a month to produce in spring. Everyone is idle at home and just move them out to practice.

Li Sangou was thinking about how to train, and Wang Ju asked again: "Uncle Sangou, how about I want to build them in Chengdu?"

"Ah, this is not great, right?" Li Sangou said in a daze.

Like the injunction, volunteers are used as commanders, which is what everyone calls a battalion. The standard one battalion has 400 cavalry and 500 infantry, and one battalion is divided into several capitals. One capital is a brigade, and one standard one is one hundred. One capital is divided into ten squads, one small standard one is ten people, the squad leader is ten generals, and the squad leader is the head of the capital. The Tang Dynasty also had similar organizational structures, but it is not called command and battalion, but it is called one mansion, and one mansion has a standard of five hundred people, but the minimum number of people is even smaller, that is, one fire, also called one gang, five people and one gang, and the commander is called the fire chief. Xue Rengui first entered the army and served as a small fire chief.

However, there are no camps and capitals for strong men and strong horses, only various teams.

First, although the foreigners have strong combat power, they have poor discipline and are unruly and difficult to organize. Second, many foreign tribes have enemies with each other. If they want to form a camp, they must be organized nearby. The closer they are, the more enemies they have, the more.

So Li Sangou was surprised when he heard Wang Ju's plan to edit.

Of course Wang Ju knew this, but he also said: "Uncle Sangou, if you don't make up the capital, it will not be easy to form combat power, and at least seriously weaken the combat power."

"Dalang, this is not easy to make up."

"I want to give it a try!" r1152
