"The Western Jin Dynasty can still fairly evaluate Zhuge Liang. Why is our dynasty not good? Anyway, people are dead. This has many useful things. Forget it, Your Majesty, it's your fault that the empress did not say it, otherwise it will be the empress's fault."

"What rebellion?"

"The people of Bashu are too resentful, and officials from all over the country can only join forces with the powerful to protect themselves. So the powerful took the opportunity to tamper with the land deeds, encroach on property, and rob the people as their subordinates. Without this resentment, relying on these behaviors of the powerful, if there is a slight disaster or improper policy handling, a big mess will be caused. I have told Mr. Lu about this. Mr. Lu said that the people may be rebellious or indomitable, and without the help of the powerful, how can they be safe with Bashu? Even if the powerful is punished, our dynasty will lose the entire Bashu. I don't know what to do..."

"It is difficult to govern the country. It is definitely inappropriate for you to be an official. However, writing a fair tribute is also a way. I will think about it. You can continue talking."

"This is a difficult problem. I can't think of it. Your Majesty will definitely solve it. But it must be solved. The Northern Army quickly transferred back after the war ended. Secondly, Bashu was either good officials or generals. Lu Xianggong and Chen Transportation Order were good officials. They were also Your Majesty's confidant ministers, so they were enough to let them guard one side. Your Majesty asked to trust Lu Xianggong. It was very difficult for him to defend Yizhou in the cracks. If it weren't for Lu Xianggong, Yizhou would be in chaos, the situation in Bashu would be even more dangerous. Leaving General Cao and General Kang, they could fight and appease, and they did not make deep grudges in Bashu. With these four people, they were both civil and military. Then, some good officials were sent to serve as prefects of each state, and allocate some money from Yizhou's warehouse to help refugees, so Bashu could temporarily remain stable."

History says that the Song Dynasty received the fortune of Bashu for more than ten years.

Song Jiu couldn't figure out how much money it took to take more than ten years to get rid of it?

He still knew some things. The Song Dynasty obtained Hunan but had almost no gains. He even paid more, but he got Jingnan and Jiangling. The area around Jiangling was relatively rich, with a little gain, not a big gain. Bashu had a great harvest. When Song Jiu was in Yizhou, he was still using ships to send money to the capital.

But not only money, but also tea, utensils, books, and the Shu Palace cannot be left behind. It must be demolished, some expensive wood, etc. If you calculate this way, it may take more than ten years to complete it.

However, as long as the prefectures and counties have not been compromised, some money has not been shipped out.

Zhao Kuangyin placed them in the sealed pile warehouse (inside storage warehouse) behind the Hall of Martial Arts. Will Zhao Kuangyi be ruined in the future?

It cannot be left like this. The country was short of money everywhere, which led to bartering in most areas, and tens of millions of gold, silver, copper and silk were placed in the warehouse. Isn’t the money even more nervous?

"Kang Yanze is also greedy!" Zhao Kuangyin suddenly said.

"It's okay..." Song Jiu said in surprise. He could not have looked at all the Bashu areas in such a short period of time, but he passed by more than 20 states. Most of the prefectures and counties were corrupt. Generals robbed them, and civil officials also took them. They robbed them together and fucked them crazy.

But there are also some prefectures and counties that do better. For example, Feng Zan from Zizhou not only repelled the rebels, was fair and honest, and was loved by the people. He did not have much force. Tongshan in the south of Zizhou is also one of the base camps of Quanshixiong, but Quanshixiong did not dare to attack Zizhou. Therefore, the Five Armies joined the alliance. Song Jiu also invited him here.

Kang Yanze was even more amazing. What Song Jiu said about blocking is worse than diversion, and preventing is worse than governance. All these inspirations come from Kang Yanze. He used Shu people to govern Shu people and used rebel soldiers to defeat rebel soldiers, creating a new model. And the people also loved it, including those refugees who were trying gold.

Is his model exactly the opposite of Zhao Kuangyin, who is unhappy?

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't allow him to think, and said, "Everyone is greedy. If you are honest, you may be the only one who is innocent."

Song Jiu was stuttering, it was hard to say. Maybe Zhao Kuangyin had some evidence in his hands. Maybe Wang Quanbin and the others were biting the dog, but it was your old man who issued an edict to ask everyone to take it. Who would you blame?

When he arrived at the Imperial Garden, Zhao Kuangyin said, "Look at this peach blossom."

The Imperial Garden is also very simple, with some simple rockery pavilions, some flowers, plants and trees, and several ponds. The peach blossoms have not yet bloomed, and they are blooming with a little redness, which is very adorable.

"Song Jiu, no one picks the peach blossoms at the moment. Once they bloom, someone will pick them. If they don't pick them, they will be able to bear peaches and wither after a few days of folding."

Song Jiu was shocked. There was something in his words. He thought about it and said, "Who dares to pick it in the palace, no one dares to pick it, and it will be able to make peaches obediently."

Zhao Kuangyin was happy and said, "That's right, let's take the word."

"Your Majesty, I took it, my name is Yi'an."

"I want to give you a word, Zhongzheng."

"Zhongzheng," Song Jiu couldn't help but slap coldly.

"What's wrong?"

"No, Your Majesty, it's better to be Yi'an. It's not that the empress dowager refused the imperial edict. I dare not accept the word "Zhongzheng".

"Haha, that's fine, Yi'an Yi'an, Hezhong'an, Jinghu'an, Bashu'an, even if you have a smaller ambition, this word is OK."

"It's better to be smaller, but it's too cold to get high."

"It's too cold to the heights. Okay, when it comes to the heights, Lu Yuqing wrote a memorial saying that he had made an agreement with you. If the dilemma of Bashu can be opened up, he will make every effort to protect you as a fifth-rank official. Do you want to be a fifth-rank official?"

"I think... Your Majesty, let's forget it. I'm promoted one after another. The empress is young, has little experience and has low reputation. This fifth-rank official cannot afford to be born."

"I will give you Xuandelang Kaiguo's fief 700 households and 300 households, and the rest of the officials will remain."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The Song Dynasty still retained the Tang Dynasty system of feudal monarchy, with the most 10,000 households. This is a false title. Don’t take it seriously, and it is impossible to give you ten thousand households to operate. In addition, the real feudal system is not a designated person to be a gang farmer for the grantor, but it is also a honorary position. The difference is that the former is a purely false position, and the latter can receive corresponding subsidies. The most are thousands of households, and the fewer are hundreds of households, each household has a monthly discount of twenty-five cents, and it is paid with the official salary. That is, Song Jiu got 300 real feuds, and he can receive 7,500 yuan of extra real feuds per month.

Song Jiu would not take these seven and a half dollars in his eyes now, but this is an honor. With it, he, the founding prince, would be expensive, rather than being a void title like before, and no one took it seriously. Moreover, with the positions of Xuan Delang and Dr. Taichang, those who are mixed every month can get more than fifty yuan. Compared with ordinary people, their salary is not low.

"It's good that you're satisfied easily. It's not that I'm stingy with official titles, and I'll reward you for any merits. I'll punish you for any mistakes. But if you're given a fifth-rank scattered official, it will harm you."

"I know that the wood is so beautiful that the forest wind will urge it."

"You are just an ordinary bad peach, why should the wind urge you?" Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but say it. This was a joke about Song Jiu. Song Jiu was so arrogant that he was happy and worried. He had low ambitions, so he would not take too much risk for glory and wealth, but he also lacked ambitions. However, Zhao Kuangyin had to admit that sometimes Song Jiu was still a little bit of character. After all, he was Song De's child.

The king and his minister were talking, and the sky was getting dusk, and the little yellow gate came over and said, "Your Majesty, dinner is ready."

"Song Jiu, accompany me to have a meal."

"Here."

The specifications are quite grand. There are two yellow doors and two palace maids standing next to them, ready to serve them at any time. However, the dishes are very ordinary, including mutton, steamed lamb liver, some fruits and vegetables, and a pot with cucumbers.

Zhao Kuangyin pointed to the cucumber and said, "This thing is good, but it can eat a lot of money."

Song Jiu estimated that the cucumber was about to be off the market. But at this time, the spring vegetables had not yet risen sharply, but they were served. There were no cucumbers, so they were still very expensive. He whispered: "Where did you buy this?"

"I bought it on the market. I'm sore when I eat it."

"Your Majesty can go to my house to buy some in the name of "and buy."

"That's not OK. What is the right thing to buy? It is a necessary product for the court to buy the country from merchants, not to satisfy my verbal desires. Although it is expensive, I will eat less. You must remember it. If you don't give me fruits, I won't blame you. If you want to use charm to win the price, offer fruits, vegetables, and other things to me to please me, either the ministers will impeach you or I will not tolerate it."

"Yes, Your Majesty is the elder."

"It's not okay to rely on me alone as an elder." Zhao Kuangyin sighed.

"Your Majesty, you can take your time. After all, the country has just emerged from the Five Dynasties, and everything starts from scratch. I remember that when the Western Han Dynasty was first established, civil and military officials in the dynasty turned the temple into a vegetable market. Compared with the Western Han Dynasty, our dynasty had to make a lot of progress."

The eunuch served wine. Zhao Kuangyin liked to drink and persuaded ministers to drink. He said to Song Jiu: "Eat a bar."

"I respect Your Majesty first for you to have no boundaries." Song Jiuyi held his neck and drank it.

"Very good, slightly like Niu Zhishui that night."

"This, Weichen didn't take action that night."

"But you are the one who holds Park's sword."

"...Your Majesty, where are the dozens of prisoners surrendered?"

"The assassin has been sent to the Xuzhou mine, and I have not killed it."

"That two hundred river cavalry..."

"Don't worry, I won't treat them harshly. Let them rest for one night first. I will meet you tomorrow, and then let them return to Puzhou, and let Kang Yanze give you 100 pieces of silk each time. But Song Jiu, something happened in your house after you left."

"What happened to my house?"

"Someone sued your disciple Lu Qingshu, who was a spy sent by Han Xizai."

"Is Lu Qingshu a spy?"

"The case was transferred from the Censorate to Kaifeng Prefecture. You can ask your second brother tomorrow."

When Song Jiu heard that he had turned to Kaifeng Prefecture, he was determined. Zhao Kuangyin did not regard the Qingyi case as a major incident and asked again: "I heard from Ding Deyu that you want to transform the stone cannon?"

"There is such a thing. I looked at the military camp. Although some stone cannons were thrown far and complexly, they were actually seven to ten. I heard that there were thirteen. Either the small stone cannons were thrown far, with limited weight and insufficient lethality. This can be improved. In fact, the enemies of our court were not the Southern Tang and Southern Han. The kings of these two countries were incompetent, and the strong enemy would still be the Khitan in the future. So wars were mostly wars in the wilderness and plains, and the stone cannons must be made smaller without harming their power, including all kinds of equipment. Maybe Weichen could design some powerful crossbows, but they had not been studied. After the research was made, Weichen handed over to the court."

"Do it well. If the credit is accumulated to a certain extent, the fifth-rank official can also be awarded the title of the fifth-rank official."

In ancient times, food was not spoken. It seemed that Zhao Kuangyin didn't work, and he was talking while eating. However, Zhao Kuangyin didn't talk too much, mainly asking questions and listening to Song Jiu's answer.
