Chapter 827: Paper Tigers (Part 2)(1/2)

"Your Highness, do you think what I said is inappropriate?"

Master Zhao groaned and refused to answer.

"Your Highness, you are wrong. Among all the princes, you are the oldest and several years old. The story of Emperor Gaozong of Tang and Emperor Wen of Wei will not happen. Moreover, in my heart, I also long for Your Majesty to live a hundred years old. This will be a blessing for the Song Dynasty. I hope that what I have told today will never be used. However, in two and a half years, I will go to the other side. After going to the other side, I will not pretend to be a pretentious and will never return. Therefore, I said this today, as a precaution..."

In history, after Zhao Xu died, Sima Guang took office and pushed down all the new laws. Then he gave them a big gift. After the delivery, he gave Zhao Xu a posthumous title. The people were incompetent and called God. The people didn't know what to say. They said you were bad, you were kind-hearted, but they made the country a mess. In simple terms, they were crazy!

Some people say Sima Guang, if you do this today, someone will teach Zhao Xu to be righteous by father and son in the future, and oppose today's change of son by mother, and the consequences will be unimaginable. Sima Guang roared and said, "If Tianzuo Zongshu, this will definitely not happen!"

If Zhao Xu is a stupid child, then let him down.

Karma is very smart, his personality is inherited from his father, and he is extremely strong. He can tell from the conversation just now, saying that Emperor Gaozong of Tang is weak! Emperor Gaozong of Tang is weak, how many strong emperors can he find?

So he was dissatisfied. In fact, the mental illness was not Zhao Xu, but Sima Guang and Gao Taotao in his later years. Sima Guang died, and there was also a mental illness alive. How can the two be harmonious?

Therefore, Zhao Xu's treatment became worse and worse. He was forced by Gao Taotao in the palace, Xiao Cheng in Erying Pavilion, and ministers in the court. After he took power, he said, "I only saw the back of the buttocks, and only the back of the ministers and buttocks." He was not as good as a puppet emperor.

That is, what these Luo Dangshuo Party have changed what Wen Yanbo said about governing the world with the scholars and officials to your emperor being a puppet. The world is governed by the scholars and officials!

That's why Wang Ju had this lecture today.

"Taibao, my father's body..." Zhao Zhui was worried (Now Zhao Xu's name is still Zhao Zhui, please pay attention when reading).

"Your Highness, did you hear it?" Wang Ju said in surprise.

"Can you still not hear this?" Zhao Zhong said whisperingly. He asked again: "Father, he..."

"I saw Your Majesty safe and sound yesterday, but I will go to the other side soon, so I will prevent you from not even thinking about it... At that time, please remember two words. Tolerance. It really doesn't work. Let me read more about the relevant historical books before Emperor Gaozong of Tang and Emperor Wen of Wei ascended the throne."

"But the father..."

"Your Highness, don't worry, so I have said many times that Your Majesty's body is very important, and your body is also important. Why is it important? Please follow me."

Wang Ju asked Zhao to change out of the yellow public uniform on his body. It was not only yellow, but also yellow. He wore this thing to go out on the street. Don’t look at people anymore, others will come to see you together.

Then Wang Ju took Zhao Jiao all the way, and at first there were either wealthy or noble families around him, and many houses were far more luxurious than Wang Ju's houses.

As I turned around, I moved to the east of Maqian Street and began to enter the slums.

Looking at the folk sheds and the ragged people, Zhao Zhui was a little unbearable. He said, "Does Taibao bring me here? Do you want to say something? The rich people smell wine and meat, and there are frozen bones on the road?"

"It's not that simple to see the problem. Why are you poor? Most of the time, due to exploitation and annexation, some are laziness, food, drink, and gambling. Just like some rich people, they earn their wealth and wealth through wisdom, and some are unwise, but they also earn their wealth and wealth through hard work. This way of exchange for wealth is praised. But what I hate the most is that some powerful people use improper means to seize plunder, conspiracy and tricks to exchange for wealth and honor. If they are allowed to develop, the society will be extremely unfair, and the people will be disappointed with the court. More and more disappointed people, and even many people cannot even solve the problem of food and clothing, and the country will be in danger. Many people praise the country's small governance in recent years, and some exaggeratedly say that the Yuanfeng governance is indeed, and many people have improved in recent years, as well as the implementation of various policies to stimulate economic development."

"Yes, Taibao, I can't imagine if you don't say it. When you say it, I think of it, many new houses have appeared in these markets."

"Yes, it was in recent years that some people's lives have improved and recently built, but many people's poverty has not changed. Just like immigrating on the other side, so many people have left, and the country has been continuously lenient in taxes in recent years, and there are some miscellaneous grains brought by the other side. It is logical that the pressure on the people will be much more relaxed. But in fact, more than 20,000 households have moved to the other side this year. Although the number is not as exaggerated as before, it also shows that many people are so poor that they cannot survive. This is why so many people migrate to the other side regardless of their homes and the storms of the sea."

"It would be difficult to think that all people are not poor."

"Yes, but the court's politics is clear and the country's financial situation is gradually improving, which can further reduce the proportion of the extremely poor people. So, your highness, you should take care of your own body, not for you, but for the sake of the 100 million people in the Song Dynasty. Also, what I said in my home today must not be spread outside, and it is best not to use it in the future. If it is used, please remember two words and endure it." Wang Ju reminded him again.

Although Zhao Zhong was not old, I believe that he also saw the conflict between Zhao Xu and Gao Taotao for political views in the palace.

"Taibao, why do you want to go to the other side? His father is reluctant to let go."

"Your Highness, once the Xixia is pacified, how many countries will I destroy?"

"Four, five, and Champa."

"Chancheng is not counted. To be precise, it is four countries and has internal affairs. Since ancient times, I have been able to count such political achievements. At this point, as a minister, I have reached the peak, so I have to give in. Do you still remember how Taizu put on the imperial robe? Taizu didn't want to replace the Later Zhou Dynasty, but his subordinates disagreed and forced him to the path of a king. There is also Huo Guang, why did she let her daughter marry Emperor Xuan of Han, and she was also worried that the Huo family would not be protected after his death. But in fact, Huo Guang did this, and gradually deviated from the way of a minister, so the more he was worried, the more it happened. The snake could not have headless, but if there were two heads, there would be a problem. There must be a sun in the sky, but two suns could not appear. Therefore, when I talked about Huo Guang that day, I deliberately talked about the way of giving in. Do you understand this? "

“Why is that complicated?”

"The people in the world are bustling for fame and fortune, just like ministers, not for profit, at least for fame. But because I have been in a high position for a long time and have a profound influence, not only one person, but also a large group of people behind me, even if I reach that point, I don't want to do anything. What if the group of people below me wants to do or what someone does, how can I deal with it? Therefore, retreating to the other side is the way to start and end well."

It doesn't have to be that complicated, but is it possible to promote the constitutional system of the monarchy on the other side of the shore to Zhao Zhong?

The two continued walking forward along the stone road with snow. Around them were the scattered guards, not only the guards brought by Wang Ju, but also the guards brought out of the palace by Zhao Xu, and the sons of Zhao Xu. Each son was precious. Moreover, Zhao Zhui was equal to the eldest son, the future crown prince, and the future emperor of the Song Dynasty.

However, at the request of Wang Ju, these guards, Wang Ju and Zhao Maid were all dressed up in civilians and scattered around the road. The people did not pay attention to it, and even did not recognize Wang Ju.

Wang Ju talked to Zhao's servants about the people of these residences and told them about their own things, and there were also people who were interspersed with people's livelihood, agriculture, animal husbandry, industry and commerce, and even knowledge about religion, politics, military, and economics.

Wang Ju was a human being in his two lives, and his knowledge was unmatched in the Song Dynasty. Even if he was not a human being in his two lives, he also had information on the other side. Through the other side, he learned about the current situation in the world. At least he knew some of the situations in Central and Western Asia, so no one could match Wang Ju in his knowledge.

Moreover, Wang Ju was like telling it with real objects and people, so before Zhao Zhui knew it, it was approaching dusk. Wang Ju took Zhui Zhao home and asked him and his guards to change his clothes and send them to Xuande Gate.

When Zhao Xu saw his son, he asked curiously: "What did Wang Qing talk about today?"

It took almost a day to go.

Zhao Zhong did not say that forbearance, and now he is gradually growing up. He is a precocious and smart boy. Wang Ju said that just in case, and it was also a painstaking effort. If he said it, there would be some suspicion of cursing his father and provoking his father and grandmother's disagreement.

But he just told Zhao Xu, and the problem didn't matter. What's just a precaution? I'm afraid he would say it to Gao Taotao, but I believe that Zhao's maid would not be so stupid.

Zhao Zhong only said the others, some remembered them, and some couldn't remember them, and finally said, "I said a lot, but even my sons can't remember them."

"This is well said..." Zhao Xu said. Although some Zhao maids can't remember clearly, most of them can still remember. Wang Ju's teachings are quite valuable. This is really dedicated to cultivating the future of the Song Dynasty.

"Father, do you have to retire after the heroes make great contributions?" Zhao asked in confusion.

"If this... is an ordinary hero, it doesn't matter. However, when some heroes are so successful, there is indeed a little embarrassment between the king and the minister."

"Emperor Guangwu and his heroes all ended, and the first lord also valued Zhuge Liang."

"Master, from ancient times to the present, how many people can have the talent of Emperor Guangwu? Although Liu Bei used Zhuge Liang, Emperor Wen of Wei also used Sima Yi as the minister of the orphanage. What's the result?"

"Taibao won't be Sima Yi."

"My servants, people's hearts will change. I am here, so naturally I will not doubt Wang Qing, but I am not here. Because you may not be able to control Wang Qing, so Emperor Taizong of Tang intended to denounce Li Ji, which was exactly the same. Have you seen Chulong say that Empress Dowager Zhao? Sometimes spoiling children may not be loving children, but harming children. And the other side is extremely important to our dynasty. The more dense our dynasty, we will be evacuated on the other side, and those who have been evacuated on the other side are all extremely poor people, which can benefit the rule of the country. Our dynasty also needs gold, silver, copper and iron on the other side. Trade on the other side can also bring a lot of taxes to our dynasty, and even feed many people. However, no capable minister in the country will come to take charge. People will sooner or later be separated on the other side and cannot be used by our dynasty."

In Zhao Xu's mind, no matter who pioneered the other shore, at least all the people on the other shore were Song people, that was from the Song Dynasty, and at least they belonged to the Song Dynasty's territories!

But what he said was the truth.

He is not afraid of Wang Ju. He is not here, and Zhao Xu also knows that his body is not a long-lived body. He can only say that he doesn't believe it will not be able to survive for two or three years. But if he makes a mistake, his son is still young, Wang Ju's prestige is too high, his minister is strong and his master is weak, and if the story of the imperial robe happens, the Song Dynasty will be over.

“It’s so complicated.”

"Master, you will know when you grow up. But Wang Qing knows how to advance and retreat, and I am very happy. You will go to his house tomorrow. His opening will help you grow up."

Wang Ju took Zhao to transfer for a few days, and even went to the suburbs. Although he could not see farming production now, he had to see what the countryside looked like.

In fact, Wang Ju did something a bit unfair to do, but he did not feel inconsistent with Wang Ju. After more than two years, he left. Even if he got closer to the prince, what could he do?

New Year's Day is here.

It’s the Chinese New Year, and it’s impossible for Zhao to follow Wang Ju to “intern” again.

Fei'er complained a little: "Official, whose son is the prince?"

My husband is more concerned about the emperor than his own.

It seems... In fact, Fei'er didn't understand that the systems on both sides were different. Even the so-called king or king on the other side would not act recklessly, even if the talents were insufficient, they would not shake the rule there because the financial management power had been completely delegated.

But the Song Dynasty was an imperial country. Only with a good emperor could the country develop normally. If the emperor did not do it, the country would immediately decline.

Different systems, education requirements are also different.

In fact, Wang Ju is really reluctant to put so much pressure on his son.

During the Chinese New Year, some ministers came to pay New Year's greetings, including Zhang Dun and Xiao Su and other ministers. Anyway, Wang Ju has gone to the other side in the future, so I am not afraid of impeachment from others. Can you even take the prince to walk around the capital without seeing Wang Ju?

However, Wang Ju also went to Cai Que's house to pay New Year's greetings, which had nothing to do with currying favor. Instead, he asked Cai Que about the country's government affairs and finance.

In the next two years, the scale of the war will become larger and larger, and the cost is astonishing, so the rear is extremely important.

But Wang Ju had already left the prime minister and had no right to go to various departments to collect the account books. In fact, there was no right to inquire. However, Cai Que had a little bit of heart with Wang Ju. At the same time, Wang Ju strongly promoted Cai Que to become the second Secretariat Order, and Cai Que was still very grateful to Wang Ju for this.

In addition, the northwest was the focus of the country in the past two years, so Cai Que also slightly exceeded the system and roughly talked about the situation after Wang Ju left, and talked about last year's finances, and finally said: "Taibao, I'm still very worried about it."

If Wang Ju continues to spend this, the finances will definitely be insufficient next year.

If Wang Ju's efforts to make money in the past few years were wasted. Even if he made money, he might not be able to meet the needs of the frontline.

Wang Ju smiled, and said again what he and Zhao Xu said, "This method cannot be used forever, but it can be temporarily rescued."

"Hey, this is a wonderful plan." Cai Que said with a high-high, just a little overdrawing of the future and can eliminate Xixia and Tubo, so what's the harm? He was stunned and said, "This bank is of great use."

"Of course, but you can't treat it as a magic potion."

"That's it, so I'll feel relieved."

"Also, in addition to this measure, there is also copper from the other side. I persuaded you to see if the merchants on the other side can donate some gold and silver in advance."

"Expand the printing and Jiaozi?"

"It's not yet time to expand the printing and Jiaozi, Zhang Shangying has been to my house. I asked the banking department and the situation of gold and silver across the country. Although the national gold and silver prices are getting closer, they are still rising. Therefore, this batch of gold and silver will continue to be circulated among the people as money."

In fact, Wang Ju got a lot of gold and silver from the other side, but most of these gold and silver were placed in the banking department as principal. Because of Wang Ju's promotion in the past two years, some people have become richer, and the demand for gold and silver is undoubtedly increasing. In fact, not only Wang Ju Duo got gold and silver from the other side, but several silver mines were also discovered in Lingnan. Therefore, the overall silver price is basically stable, mainly because the gold price continues to rise.

During the Song Dynasty, every ounce of gold rose to 60,000 to 70,000 yuan, and the silver rose to 40,000 yuan. However, it was blackmailed by the Jin people, who asked the Song Dynasty to pay 10 million ingots of gold and 20 million ingots of silver, and one ingot was fifty taels. Even if you copy all the gold and silver of the Song Dynasty together, you could not make up this number.

Therefore, there is no common example, but the further we go in history, the higher the price of gold and silver. Although the Song Dynasty in history was a weak Song Dynasty, it has to be admitted that there are really many rich people in the Song Dynasty...

Therefore, this gold and silver will continue to be invested in the market so that the silk exchange can be stabilized and will not be cashed in by the people.

But this batch of gold and silver is limited. After all, the other side will also develop, and trade will also overdraw the future because of the 30 million yuan. The profits brought by trade will drop significantly in the next few years.

I won’t talk about this Wang Ju.

Cai Que said again: "The Khitan envoy has arrived in the capital."

"oh?"
