Chapter 133 The river is red!

In the first year of Jiayou, in addition to the unhealthy (unconsciousness) and large-scale floods at the beginning of the year, as well as the major incidents caused by the ministers forcing Renzong to quickly establish a prince, there were rumors that civil unrest, drought and other rumors that had no impact on the people of Bianjing.

These things have no impact on the people of Bianjing, and are not even as great as the business of West Lake City and the second phase of the project.

The bustling court had little to do with the people of Bianjing City. What they could feel was that business was easier this year. Except for the depressed moment when the flood was caused, the flood receded, and the business became easier than before.

Someone said that after the opening of West Lake City, the business in Bianjing City would be greatly affected, but there were more people entering the city.

In fact, the reason is simple. People who come from afar will not pass through the Bianjing gate because of Xihu City. If you go in, you will be unable to help but buy something.

They don’t understand this truth very well, but they are actually just the reason for making the cake bigger. The emergence of West Lake City has only made Bianjing City’s siphon ability stronger.

Of course, they were even less aware that the economy of the Song Dynasty was slowly improving, especially after the autumn harvest.

After the flood, the Qingmiao loans promoted by the court made farmers' farming smoothly, and the nutrition brought by the flood made a bumper harvest of crops. The Sansi timely loans to purchase grain at a higher price, which prevented the low grain from hurting farmers. The farmers' income increased and their purchasing power suddenly exploded.

The rapid expansion of the Agricultural Bank of China has allowed copper coins that have been precipitated for many years to circulate again on the market, and the market that has been depressed due to the shortage of money has a large amount of copper coins and has become very active.

The entire Song Dynasty's economy was revitalized all of a sudden.

This is reflected in the year-end audit of the Sansi Envoy.

After Bao Zheng took office for half a year, he only supported an Agricultural Bank of China and fully promoted a Qingmiao loan, which made the economy come alive. In the year-end audit, in half a year, the tax revenue of the Song Dynasty soared by more than three million trump cards!

More than three million guan is naturally only a small part of the entire annual income, but the extra more than three million guan has caused the dry treasury to suddenly have some surplus.

This little money can't do much, but the hope it brings is the most inspiring.

Bao Zheng's reputation for managing finances resounded throughout the Song Dynasty.

Renzong used to be reluctant to see Bao Zheng, because when Bao Zheng saw him, he was not afraid to show impatience. Now Bao Zheng still criticized him when he saw him, but Renzong was willing to accept it. Who made him the God of Wealth?

When Ouyang Bian learned about this situation, he couldn't help laughing. Only he himself knew the joy and encouragement in his heart.

In Wang Anshi's reform, the Qingmiao method was the one who was sprayed the most, but in fact, the Qingmiao method was not the first to be implemented, it had already appeared in the mid-Tang Dynasty.

At this time, there were also Shaanxi Transport Authors Li Shen and Wang Guangyuan who had practiced it, and Wang Anshi, who knew that Yin County, Mingzhou, had also practiced it himself. The results were very good, which shows that this method was actually the right method, but it was just a mess that the person who executed it was bad.

Ouyang Bian believes that Qingmiao Loan should be an economic behavior. When the government has poor execution ability and low quality of officials, it is best to classify it as an economic behavior and let private capital do this. The government acts as a supervisor, which will achieve good results.

In fact, the effect is indeed very good.

Of course, during the execution process, Ouyang Bian devoted a lot of energy to monitor. It can be said that since the execution of Qingmiao Loan, he has devoted 60 to 70% of his energy to it.

It has to be said that Yu Mou and Lu Caiwei are both very good assistants. In this process, the rules and regulations formulated by Ouyang Bian were well implemented under their supervision and promotion.

Several other money banks have more or less violated laws and regulations, but the Agricultural Bank of China has the least number and is the most trusted by farmers.

The winter in Bianjing is coming, and heavy snow covers the entire city of Bianjing.

It is quite rare that Ouyang Bian's courtyard was blocked by white snow, but it was not nestled in the bed. Bizhu came early in the morning and saw Ouyang Bian wearing a thin nightgown and writing barefoot at the desk. She couldn't help but wonder: "Silang, why did you get up so early today?"

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "Write a letter to an old friend."

Bizhu said with a oh, and went to help clean up the messy desk. When she saw that the letter she had written had not been loaded into the envelope, it seemed that she had a poem written on it.

Bizhu also knew some words and said softly: "The angry hair rushed to the crown, and the rain stopped at the railing... Looking up at the sky, the long roar of the sky, the strong heart is fierce. Thirty fame, dust and soil, eight thousand miles of clouds and moon. Don't wait, the young man's head is white, and he is sad!

The shame of Chanzhou has not yet been abolished; when will the hatred of the ministers be destroyed? Drive a long cart and break through the Helan Mountains. Ambitions are hungry to eat the meat of the barbarians, laugh at the thirst and drink the blood of the Huns. Wait until you turn back, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and go to the sky!"

Ouyang Bian laughed and scolded: "Okay, pretend to send it out, don't talk too much."

Bizhu said twice and quickly put it into the envelope. Unexpectedly, she saw that it was written on the envelope - General Di personally opened it!

Bizhu looked at Ouyang Bian in surprise. Ouyang Bian just nodded. Bizhu didn't dare to ask more questions and quickly took it to the door.

Ouyang Bian smiled, and Bizhu felt surprised. The flood in May was innocent, but the most innocent one was Di Qing. Although the flood had nothing to do with him, he was labeled as jealous of God, so he threw away his official position as Privy Councilor and was exiled to Chenzhou.

What made him lose his official position was a memorial from his own son. Although it was a back guard, in the eyes of others, Ouyang Xiu, a member of the civil servant group, could not tolerate Di Qing, the military general. No wonder Bizhu was surprised.

Ouyang Xiu, the old man, impeached Di Qing, but Ouyang Bian, the son, was secretly engaging in music with Di Qing?

Ouyang Bian laughed at this.

The purpose of his letter was to prevent the tragedy of Di Qing from dying from depression from happening again. He used an passionate lyric to inspire Di Qing to clean up his mood when he was lonely and wait for a better time to come back.

Of course, if the effect of this letter is unknown, he can only do his best to leave everyone to fate. Di Qing can listen to it, and if he can't listen, he can only do nothing.

Ouyang Bian is still clear about this. He never regarded himself as a savior. It was not his wish to come to the Song Dynasty. The things he did were just to do his best. As for the ambition of changing the day another day... I'm sorry, I really didn't.

He does not have this almost arrogant arrogance.
