Song Jiu had no choice but to stand up and said, "Your Majesty, this move cannot be normal. You must be careful of different words and deeds. You may not be able to speak, and those who can do it may not be able to speak. This is Zhao Kuo."

Zhao Kuangyin did not dare to let go of people, and kept playing the technique of balancing between Zhao Kuangyi and Zhao Pu, but something happened.

However, he has always done a good job in the imperial examination. Regardless of the ranking, he will first conduct grinding and be appointed as an official position based on the grinding results. He reads a good book and writes a good article, but may not be able to be a good official. Over the past ten years, he has hired more than 180 Jinshis, and only a half of them have a bright career. Others have gradually become weak in people's vision due to poor government affairs.

Not only did Zhao Kuangyi choose this time, he was terrible, but he was so terrible that he was directly bypassed the exploration and gave him a heavy position. This was not enough, and he also gave them the right to act cheaply. So where did the officials who worked hard?

It’s okay to pack money. Although 200 yuan is a big number, only half of the people get real jobs, and tens of thousands of yuan can still be afforded to spend tens of thousands of yuan.

But in that case, the imperial court's official selection system would be completely destroyed.

However, Song Jiu did not strongly object.

Xue Juzheng and Chen Yilun were anxious, and Lu Duosun kept smiling and silent.

Since then, the Song Dynasty slowly entered the paradise of literati. Song Jiu was prepared, but this time it was different.

Why is this so? Zhao Kuangyi has a profound meaning.

There are many talented people in the Zhao Kuangyi shogunate, Chai Yuxi, Zhang Xun, Yang Shouyi, Zhao Rong, Zhou Ying, Wang Jiying, Wang Xian, Midechao, Fu Qian, Wang Chao, Dai Xing, Wang Hanzhong, Wang Neng, Zhang Ning, Li Chonggui, Liu Yong, Geng Quanbin, Zhou Renmei, Wang Rong, Yang Qi, Li Qi, Zhao Yanpu, Zhang Yugui, Pei Ji, Gao Qiong, Ge Ba, Sang Zan, Lu Bin, Zhang Xu, Wang Yande, Cheng Dexuan, Wang Yande (the same name as the former), Wei Zhen, Shi Pu, Yuanda, Guo Mi, Fu Sirang and Li Bin, etc.

There are also officials of the Zhao Kuangyi faction, such as Feng Zan, Chen Congxin, Cheng Yu, Jia Yan, Shi Xizai, etc., who also barely include Song Jiu.

At the same time, there are officials who have always stood on the front line with Zhao Kuangyi, Lei Dexiang, Lu Duosun and others.

There were also eunuchs in the palace including Wang Jien and others.

However, compared with the huge number of officials and soldiers in the entire Song Dynasty, this amount was not large.

Many of the other officials and soldiers were lifted up by Zhao Kuangyin.

And most of his close confidants are very low and cannot be directly transferred to the high position.

Now, it will take at least a few years to get promoted. Therefore, in recent years, Zhao Kuangyi used these new Jinshi to promote and reuse them, which was to wash away Zhao Kuangyin's imprint in the court and the country.

So Ludoson smiled without saying a word.

Song Jiu's advice had nothing to do with Xue Juzheng's honesty and righteousness. What he was afraid of was that this example could become the so-called ancestral family law. Therefore, this move cannot be normal.

Zhao Kuangyi smiled slightly and said, "Song Qing's words are extremely true."

But the imperial edict was not taken back.

After the banquet, Chen Yilun complained: "Yi'an, why don't you stop Your Majesty?"

Can Song Jiu stop it? Besides, even if he forced his advice, Zhao Kuangyi would not listen. Instead, he left a feeling of being ignorant in Zhao Kuangyi's mind. Besides, he offended these people in the world at the same time. He was stupid.

But this reason cannot be said, Song Jiu said: "Donald Chen, your Majesty is safe, and the world is safe."

Enough. Chen Yilun finally understood and murmured: "So that's it."

"For these two or three imperial examinations, if Your Majesty continues to do this in the future, I will forcefully give advice. And I will join hands with the censors to give advice. This time, I cannot give advice."

However, Chen Yilun showed a worried look on his face. As Song Jiu suggested, he was a hero of the Dominic Mansion. He was Zhao Kuangyin's confidant, so he would be sad sooner or later.

Song Jiu looked at his face and said, "Your Majesty, don't underestimate him."

Chen Yilunran was worried about Zhongzhong and Lu Duosun's face showed joy.

Song Jiu glanced at him. Lu Duosun had many wisdom skills, but compared with Zhao Pu, it was still much worse. Lu Duosun's fate had nothing to do with Song Jiu. Song Jiu was worried that Lu Duosun's fate was also his.

Each of them went home with their own hearts.

Then a piece of news came out, Zhao Kuangyi sent Lei Dexiang to investigate Wang Jixun himself, and found out that Wang Jixun had eaten more than 100 maids. Not only did he eat, but he also colluded with a great monk Huiguang in Luoyang to accompany him to eat.

The news came out and the whole country was in an uproar.

But Song Jiu was not very concerned about this matter. He was discussing a memorial with several prime ministers in the Secretariat.

According to the memorial written by Fan Zhigu, although the imperial court set up a coin minting prison in Jiangzhou, Jiangzhou had withered and there were many inconveniences. Therefore, he requested another prison in Shengzhou to convert all copper into copper coins and increase the number of copper coins.

It is also recommended that all mines producing copper mines are prohibited from mining, and the ban on not being allowed to cross the river will be lifted.

All three opinions are agreed with the Secretary of the Secretariat and the Four Princesses.

Moreover, it is also beneficial to the people of Jiangnan. Although Jiangnan produces copper, a lot of gold, silver and copper flows into Jiangbei. Later, the Song Dynasty obtained Jiangnan and transported the remaining copper coins to the capital. The entire Jiangnan lacks trading currency.

But there is another article later. The copper coins stored in various places are uniformly used for market transactions of gold, light goods and grain. The gold, light goods obtained from the exchange are handed over to the central government and iron coins are converted into agricultural tools. In this way, copper coins flow to the people. In order to return the copper coins to the court, the people are asked to tax them with copper coins when taxing.

Xue Juzheng and Lu Duoxun thought it was a good idea, but Song Jiu was shaking his head.

"Yi'an, what's wrong?" Chen Yilun asked.

Song Jiu made a fortune in Hezhou. In terms of economy, Song Jiu had the right to speak.

"Donald Chen, in order to facilitate the people and save waste during the late emperor, the people of both rivers changed cloth instead of grain tax. However, soon after, because the cloth was mostly circulated in the capital, the two rivers lacked cloth, and the price of cloth increased, and the people also used less cloth. Although some adjustments were made during the late emperor, the people of both rivers were very inconvenient."

"Fan Zhigu Fei asked Jiangnan to use cloth instead of taxes, but there was only one more road to circulation, and gold, silk, light goods and food still flowed back to the court during trading."

Song Jiu thought for a while, but didn't know what was wrong, so he said, "Let me come up with a solution. From then on, each state will formulate a budget draft, counting the garrison costs, officials' salaries, and other expenses in the next year. Then, taxes will be reduced in various places, and try to satisfy each state as much as possible. Each state cannot meet the requirements. Each state cannot meet the requirements. Or the state cannot meet the requirements. The state is the most adjacent state and other state prefectures, and the mutual adjustment will be made. The gold, silk, light goods, and grain will be divided together. The rest will be paid to the court, or transported by the court to save transportation losses and unnecessary waste. But for supervision, all accounts must be handed over to the three departments for review. What do you think?"

"This is a good idea."

In fact, the Song Dynasty used to adjust each other, but there were no clear regulations.

Lu Duosun said: "So what about Fan Zhigu's suggestions?"

Song Jiu thought for a long time and suddenly came up. He said, "I know what's wrong. During Li Yu's time, Jiangnan lacked money and silk, so he casted iron coins. So far, iron coins are used as the main currency for circulation. Once the iron coins are turned into agricultural tools and the copper coins are taken back to the court, Jiangnan will lack circulating currency, and the price will become higher. However, the court's tax on money is equivalent to increasing the burden on the people."

"That's how it's better. Yi An should implement the first three items first, and then let Fan Zhigu think of a way to improve the last one." Xue Juzheng said.

"Okay."

The Zhongshu sent a letter to Jiangnan with a door.

Soon Fan Zhigu replied that the currency in Jiangnan was chaotic, and many illegal people among the people minted iron coins. They couldn't help but fail. However, once they were banned, the copper coins in the two prisons could not be satisfied even if the transactions and circulation of Jiangnan were not satisfied, so the copper coins in the two prisons could not be used by the court. The court also lacked copper coins. Therefore, it is recommended that if other taxes do not use copper coins instead, the court would issue an edict to let Jiangnan wine and silhouette replace them with copper coins so that some of the copper coins would flow back to the court.

This is a way to get along with each other.

The four of them discussed again, and in the end it was Song Jiu's solution.

Agree. But the tax on gold and silver entering the city in Jiangnan was abolished. Gold and silver are quasi-currencies, but they are also a commodity, so related taxes are also imposed when gold and silver are circulating in various places.

Once cancelled, gold and silver are easier to circulate, so that gold and silver can be used as a replacement currency for bulk trade.

There is no way, not only is the lack of currency transactions in the Gyeonggi area, but other regions are like this, Jiangnan, Guangdong and Guangxi, and Bashu.

Song Jiu was very careful, but he was secretly secret. Fan Zhigu had selfish intentions. When he was in Jiangnan, he had a grudge against the Hong family of Xuan in Yuzhang. The Song Dynasty had wine simplicity, and the Southern Tang Dynasty had a contracting system, which gave the wine tax to wealthy families for contracting. During the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Hong family lost millions of wine tax iron coins in the country. The iron coins were abolished and used copper coins instead. Fan Zhigu urged Hong family to repay the deficit tax, which almost made the Hong family go bankrupt. It also led to a rapid rise in the price of wine in Jiangnan.

But in general, under the experience of Song Jiu and Two Decades, various national policies have become healthier and more complete.

At least for now, Song Jiu has not let down Zhao Kuangyi's burden as the assistant minister.

...

"This pickled product!" Xiao Zhou cursed as Zhang Wei left behind.

Li Yu was in the dark in Jiangnan, and he didn't know that money was rare. Even the Zuozang Depot official Jia Huangzhong inspected the inner warehouse for the last time before leaving office. He saw a warehouse locked tightly, so he asked the yamen runners to open it and saw dozens of large cabinets filled with gold bricks, worth millions of dollars.

This is not a small number, and then the source is found. It is the property of the Li family's palace, and it is not included in the Jiji. In other words, Li Yu didn't know this huge amount. Perhaps the people in his inner palace saw that the city was about to be destroyed and were about to transfer the gold. However, Cao Bin took down Jinling City in the blink of an eye. It was still in the Southern Tang Palace. However, because he was not included in the Jiji, Cao Bin's subordinates did not think about checking it. After transporting it to the capital, they kept it in the internal warehouse.

Lieutenant Jia Huang reported this to Zhao Kuangyi. Zhao Kuangyi was overjoyed and rewarded Jia Huangzhong with 200,000 yuan.

This is a reward. If Jia Huangzhong is greedy and transported the gold out quietly, it would not be possible for the court to know that it was not in the account.

But it also shows Li Yu's confusion.

When Li Yu surrendered, Cao Bin was kind-hearted. You should take some gold, silver, money and silk as soon as possible and take it to the ship for use in the capital. Then I will make the rest in the book and hand it over to the court.

However, Cao Bin's kindness may not be kindness. The money and silk that Li Yu brought along was blackmailed, and there were only a few left after he arrived in the capital.

After entering the capital, the whole family was full of food, drink, clothing and housing, and could not manage it. Gradually, the financial situation was short, so Li Yu had to cry to Zhao Kuangyi for his poor.

At this time, Zhao Kuangyi had not yet married the queen, and of course he did not touch Queen Zhou. After hearing this, he gave Li Yu three million yuan, not too much, nor too little. However, the whole family had not been happy for long. Zhang Yu, the biggest loyal minister under Li Yu, came to fight Qiu Feng.

Li Yu was so angry that he threw the most valuable platinum basin in his home to Zhang Yu.

This basin is worth a lot of money, Zhang Qing left with a smile.

However, there was a second time when the family sat at home, worried.

Huang Baoyi said, "Master, please ask me for a mom."

Song Jiu was not clear about this matter, and he didn't care much about Li Yu, but he didn't expect to be implicated.

After returning from the Secretariat, Pan Lian'er pulled him into the room, and Lian Nu knelt on the ground and sobbed.

"What's going on."

"This dead girl is brave."

"What did she do."

"She is the dancer Li Yu's girl..." Pan Lian'er told the truth.
