Bao Zheng looked back and forth several times and found that the refugee camp here was completely different from the official refugee camp.

The official refugee camp actually set up a porridge factory, and they don’t care about the refugees’ living.

The refugee camp here takes into account epidemic prevention, cleanliness, neatness, and food. It even finds a livelihood for refugees. Refugees who can do heavy work go to drain water and dig soil, while women and children who cannot do heavy work do some manual work and can also make money.

Almost meticulous.

Bao Zheng couldn't help but exclaim: "The little monk's mind is really delicate. However, the disaster relief work in the court can be studied more in the future."

After leaving the refugee camp, Bao Zheng went to Ouyang Bian. He came today with another purpose.

When he found Ouyang Bian, Ouyang Bian seemed very busy and had a meeting with more than a dozen people. Bao Zheng was not easy to disturb him. He waited for a while before he saw Ouyang Bian coming over with a look of fatigue.

Bao Zheng asked, "What are you busy with?"

Ouyang Bian smiled: "It's about financing. We will be in the prospectus tomorrow. There are still many things to be sure of."

Bao Zheng nodded: "Are you sure you are big?"

Ouyang Bian nodded: "No problem, West Lake City has now opened up. Where are the successful cases of the first round of financing? Now there are a lot of people waving their money to enter the market."

Bao Zheng nodded: "That's good."

Ouyang Bian asked with a smile: "Why is Shiwang coming today?"

Bao Zheng pretended to be angry and said, "Why, I can't come here to see you at will?"

Ouyang Bian laughed: "The uncle is busy with all his life, so where can he have time to see me, a little guy?"

Bao Zheng smiled slightly: "Don't underestimate yourself, now you are responsible for the livelihood of more than 100,000 people..."

"...I'm here today, I really want to discuss something with you."

Seeing Bao Zheng's expression, Ouyang Bian knew that this matter was quite important. He looked upright and said softly: "Shibo, please speak."

Bao Zheng thought about it and said, "... Wen Xiang wanted me to take on the burden of the three departments yesterday, and I was a little hesitant."

Ouyang Bian said in surprise: "Sansi Envoy?"

Bao Zheng nodded.

Ouyang Bian said in surprise: "This is a good thing."

Bao Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "The dispatch and official positions have all gone up, but this job is not easy to do."

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "Is Bao Gong and Qingtian, who are honest and fair, have a strong and resolute position, are not attached to the powerful, are selfless, wise and decisive, and dare to make unfair use for the people, have a burden that Bao Gong and Qingtian dare not take on?"

Bao Zheng pretended to be angry and said, "How dare you come to tease me... You are unfair to the people, as long as you are not afraid of offending others, but economic matters are not something you can do.

Didn’t you say that financial management is a very test of professional ability? I feel that my talents are insufficient and I hesitate because of this.”

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "It's not that bad at all than Zhang Yaozuo, right?"

Zhang Yaozuo was the uncle of Concubine Zhang. Concubine Zhang was still Xiuyuan at that time and wanted to raise herself with her family background, so she asked Renzong to promote Zhang Yaozuo slightly, and then she took the position of the Three Sessions envoy.

It may be possible for Zhang Yaozuo to be an official, but it is not very good to do this. The Sansi Envoy is a position that tests professional skills. It is most appropriate for technical bureaucrats to do this position.

Although Zhang Yaozuo has not made many big mistakes since he served as the Third Session, his finances are now at a time when the rivers are declining. What he needs is a talented person. A mediocre person cannot solve the financial problems of the Song Dynasty.

It can be said that the embarrassment of Yingzong and Shenzong was already at the beginning of this time.

However, this cannot be entirely blamed on Zhang Yaozuo, but most people in this era are like this. The changes in the overall environment make it impossible for them to handle these things well.

Bao Zheng shook his head and said, "I really don't have much confidence. Zhang Yaozuo has made many small mistakes, but there are no big mistakes. If I go next, I can only avoid some small mistakes, but I have no way to change the current situation."

Ouyang Bian smiled: "You shouldn't discuss this kind of thing with me, I can't give you too much advice."

Bao Zheng looked at Ouyang Bian with bright eyes: "No, you have, your financial talent is the first person I have ever met. Wen Xiang asked me for my opinion, and I thought of you immediately."

Ouyang Bian smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Shi, you look down on me too much. Okay, I have a problem."

Bao Zheng raised his back: "You said."

Ouyang Bian stood up, took off the smile on his face, and said seriously: "Shi Bo, my question is - what effect do you want to achieve after you become the Sansi envoy?"

"Of course, the national treasury is full and the country has no shortage of money and food!"

Bao Zheng said.

"Tsk!"

Ouyang Bian folded the teeth.

To fill the treasury, it is natural that there will be surplus after removing the expenditure. This is not simple.

As for the ability to spend money in the Song Dynasty, the Liaoxia was given at least three million jin a year. With the salary to officials and the cost of raising soldiers, it would cost about half of the money. This was in a relatively good economic situation.

For example, in recent years, it has been natural disasters and wars. It is no longer an exaggerated rhetoric method to run rats in the treasury. On the contrary, it is still modest. Now a group of rats in the treasury have starved to death.

When Bao Zheng saw Ouyang Bian's expression, he knew that things were not simple, so he quickly asked, "Is there any difficulties?"

Ouyang Bian thought about it and said, "There are difficulties, but it depends on your determination."

Of course there are difficulties, and they are very big, but Ouyang Bian wants to try it out.

The people in power today are Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi, Han Qi and others, who are all opponents or neutrals of Wang Anshi's reform in the future. Anyway, they are not those who support Wang Anshi.

Bao Zheng is a member of the ruling faction. If he wants to do something, he should not be afraid of making some changes with his personality. Maybe he can try some of his own ideas. With Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi and Han Qi and others, it is a good reform environment.

Bao Zheng nodded: "Let's talk about it."

Ouyang Bian said: "The secret to mastering wealth is nothing more than four words, increasing revenue and reducing expenditure."

Bao Zheng nodded.

“… Whether it is increasing revenue or reducing expenditure, it will offend a group of people.”

Bao Zheng nodded again.

This is foreseeable, and Bao Zheng was mentally prepared.

Ouyang Bian has been paying attention to Bao Zheng's expression. Seeing Bao Zheng's expression, Ouyang Bian also let go. Faced with a brave man like Bao Zheng, he doesn't have to hide it anymore.

"Shiwang, I have three strategies, both upper, middle and lower, you can think about it."

Bao Zheng raised his eyebrows and was a little surprised: "There are three strategies for the top, middle and lower. Why do you do your strategy casually?"

Ouyang Bian couldn't help but smile bitterly, what does it mean to say casually? This is the result of thinking for a long time, so how can it be so easy to say casually?

When he was forced to take Wang Anshi as his teacher, he knew that he could not avoid this vortex after all, so he just thought about it.
