Song Jiu added: "Your Majesty, the world is Your Majesty's world. Your Majesty is in the deep palace. It is difficult for the people and middle and lower-level officials to see the face. Most of the people see superiors. The officials of various departments take the prime minister as an example, the civil servants of various prefectures and counties take the magistrate as an example, and the soldiers of various barracks take the commanders as an example. No matter how honest Your Majesty is, if the Secretary of the Central Committee, the governor and the governor have a problem, the officials below cannot be honest."

Zhao Kuangyin was silent.

Needless to say, for example, Hebei made Song Jiu miserable. After a large-scale investment last year, Henan experienced a complete change. At the beginning, although there were many civilians, Song Jiu was afraid and did not dare to take action because he was afraid. Later, Zhao Kuangyin made heavy moves many times. Although Song Jiu was invisible, he became more active in Henan. Until Zhao Pu fell and before the collapse, everyone was very worried that even the house was ready and not much was sold. Once the first collapse, one of the five hundred houses was sold out. Then another affiliated primary school was set up, which was still in five grades and four classes in one grade. The faculty was slightly inferior, but they would take the exam with the Academy Primary School and enter the middle school. The main targets of this Academy were residents of Hezhou industry and work disciples. The profit was mainly the profit of the house, and then invested in the Hezhou industry contract stocks. Then a thousand houses were built.

I have never expected how much money the house makes, but what I hope is the accumulated popularity. This primary school building has attracted more people to buy houses.

After the spring, the shops were rented out. At first, the popularity was not too high, and the rent was low, which was similar to the shops in Hezhou. But this is also temporary, and the rent will inevitably be different in three years. In addition, the inn that was as high as ten floors was also built, and the thirteenth-story temple pagoda was also built.

This height is almost the limit of this era.

Of course, the cost is also very high. I don’t know how much steel is used for just one inn.

But in this era, such a tall building may not be as high as the Mingtang in Luoyang in the Tang Dynasty, but it is also a daunting height. They all have sightseeing ladders for tourists to go up to sightsee, but they only have doormen to control the number of tourists.

There is also a larger amusement park that will open in February, so it will directly pull out more than half of the traffic.

However, Hebei can continue to maintain it, and it is nothing else. Zhao Kuangyi clearly announced that he would pay taxes, but even though Zhao Pu continued, the impact is still there. Who dares to collect taxes? Even if the cruel official Su Xiao is in charge of the commercial tax in the capital.

Furthermore, the various governors are also doing business, and each jurisdiction has their own specialties, and it doesn't matter if they move them to the capital to sell them. The key is that they learn from Zhao Pu, occupy national resources, and transport goods to the capital, but they don't pay them out of their own pockets, but transport them to the capital through the national tax goods. That is, the transportation cost is borne by the state, but the profits are earned by them.

What is the superior, Zhao Pu's superior, what is the top yamen, Zhao Chengzong, and what is the high-ranking officials, the governors of various jurisdictions.

They have a way to do business, but they are not greedy, but they are disguised greed, occupying national resources, seeking profits for themselves, or not paying taxes directly. The officials below have no way to do what they can only be greedy.

"They are the heroes of the country."

"Your Majesty, they are the heroes of the country, but doing business by officials is an unfair way. Why did Weishou promise that agreement with You Majesty that I had the idea of ​​their resource advantages when I saw the yamen on the street. Strictly speaking, Weishou is now studying and is idle at home. It doesn't matter if he is an official, he can't do business, so that he can be truly selfless. Otherwise, no matter how the court does it, the phenomenon of greed cannot be eliminated."

"Slowly and slowly and slowly and slowly," Zhao Kuangyin said embarrassedly. He knew that in fact, Zhao Kuangyin also hated corrupt officials. He killed many corrupt officials over the years. Moreover, he was relatively open-minded and wanted to avoid being greedy. He had to make these officials have no worries about food and clothing so that they would not be greedy. Therefore, the salaries of officials have been increased one after another, but it has not been eliminated. This is what disappointed him. He can no longer raise the salary, so the treasury would not be able to bear it. So he changed his way to make a monthly account report and encourage other officials to report it. However, Song Jiu's statement was not unreasonable. The root cause was broken. How to expect the branches and leaves to become better? But this was his original promise. If you seize your military power, you will lose your wealth. What is wealth? How much can you give with salary?

Zhao Kuangyin said again: "If the affairs of the Steel Supervision Bureau come to the Three Divisions, the Three Divisions will still be missing a deputy envoy."

"Your Majesty, the three departments are not good. The steel supervisor may take half a year. Next, it will be the copper supervisor's affairs, the copper affairs end, and the weaving affairs. The sugar supervisor in the south, the weaving affairs must also take into account both the sugar supervisor in the south. These four things, that one is not a trivial matter. I cannot be distracted in the past few years," Song Jiu refused.

In fact, it is still possible. Now he is mainly responsible for guidance, and there are very few people who are in charge of it. Just like the sugar prison in the south, Song Jiu is there, progress will be faster. If Song Jiu is not there, progress will be slower and research costs will be higher. But it is not impossible for Song Jiu to leave.

The main reason is that he doesn't want to be an official anymore.

I used to assist Zhao Kuangyi to get Zhao Pu down.

Zhao Pu continued to do it, and he also got on Zhao Kuangyi's boat. What will you do next?

He had no achievements in the pursuit of Jiaozhi, and his official position was all the same. In addition, he misunderstood that Zhao Kuangyin had killed Chai Zongxun, so he became more and more indifferent to Zhao Kuangyin.

But if Song Jiu still doesn't want to do it, it doesn't fit his character. I have the ability to save people, but I have no ability. I have to protect myself, but I have to guarantee myself not to harm others.

It is difficult to do this, but as long as you don’t have an official position, Zhao Kuangyi won’t play much role. If you ask for money, you can give it, but if you spend most of the money, you can give it. What happens in the future has nothing to do with him.

He also said, "Your Majesty, and I promised my concubine Yuping, a long time ago, to let her go to the Khitan to see her biological father. I originally planned to let her go last year, but she was pregnant at that time and could not do it. Soon Yuping was about to give birth, and the Liao Kingdom sent Yelu Changzhu to hire him. Therefore, I asked me to take Yuping from the sea to let her stay there for a while before taking her back. This is a bit inconsistent with the imperial system. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

"It's not in line with the court system..." Zhao Kuangyin smiled, but he didn't care. Yu Ping used to visit relatives, not defect. Besides, Yu Ping's life in the Song family, even if her biological father is there, what conditions can Yu Ping give to stay in the Khitan for a long time. If it really happens, it's Song Jiu's affairs and has nothing to do with the court.

Song Jiu also thought of it and continued, "So it is not suitable to be an official at this time. If a weak minister serves as the deputy envoy of the Third Division, it is an important official position of the country. If a concubine goes to the Liao Kingdom, maybe the Liao Kingdom will have any bad ideas and detain Yuping. Will the country send troops to attack the Liao Kingdom for a concubine? At this time, he cannot be an official."

This reason is not very important, it is mainly the previous reason.

Iron is important, copper is equally important. The Song Dynasty lacks money, and the Southern Tang Dynasty also lacks money. Iron coins are even popular in many areas. The gold shop of Song Jiu is a solution, but it is not as confident. As for cloth, it is even more important. In Zhao Kuangyin's mind, it is even much more important than money and iron.

Without forcibly persuading Song Jiu, he asked him to leave the palace.

When he returned home, Pan Lianer asked with concern: "Official, what is the matter for Your Majesty to call you to enter the palace?"

"There is nothing else, just ask me if I can serve as the deputy envoy of the Third Division."

"Sansi Deputy Envoy," Zhu'er asked happily. When she got married, she married Yun'er, but she was unwilling to leave Pan Lian'er. Their husbands were all outstanding students in the academy, but their family was not well off. Therefore, Song Jiu simply took out some dowry and let them get married and move directly to the Song family and continue to stay in the Song family. Just like Qingyi, it cannot be considered as a marriage. In the future, the children's surnames will still follow the husband's surname. However, the eldest twins directly married into the husband's family. There are also a pair of more beautiful small twins, Xiao Su. Tian was still very young when he bought them. He has known a lot of words in recent years. He looks outstanding and has a little high-minded. If they were asked to be Song Jiu's concubines, it would be fine. However, this is the Song Jiu family. Other people's concubines are equivalent to goods. They will definitely not be able to marry a wife, and they will not be able to do it. They will not be able to marry a wife or a low-make, so they will continue to stay in the Song family as maids.

"I refused."

“Why?”

"Can the deputy envoy of the Third Division serve as the former judge?"

"This won't work."

"Can you let go of several studies over there when it is critical?"

“Not even.”

“How to take care of it?”

Zhu'er is speechless.

Song Jiu did not talk about the two students. The matter was not settled and it didn't work. He didn't want to be an official. Now he doesn't have enough money. The only one who is not bad is an official, but he also wants to be an official. But at this time, he didn't want to be an official, afraid that he would feel uncomfortable in the middle.

Song Jiu said again: "But Your Majesty agreed that Yuping would visit her father."

Yuping looked at Song Jiu with gratitude.

This year, the two countries finally formed a peace agreement. From the three gates to Yizhou, the two countries set up some deliberation sites to allow merchants to trade, which could limit a lot, and the smuggling phenomenon was still very serious. Furthermore, the two countries trudged in the fight and no longer attacked each other. The two countries did not mention the border matters in tacit understanding and wanted to wait until their respective strengths were resolved. The Song Dynasty wanted to get involved in the entire Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, and the Khitan was preparing to take back the two or three prefectures seized by Chai Rong. The dispute was temporarily shelved, and peace was the most important. Song Jiu was so familiar with this accent...

That can only be said to be slightly better than before, and will never let the people of the two countries lure the exchanges. The merchants of the Song Dynasty could only enter the Khitan market and were not allowed to cross the border, and the same was true for the Khitan side.

Yuping's biological father was not good at being in the Khitan. According to the system, Yuping could not go to the Khitan to visit his father.

Everything is ready, but only the east wind is needed, but Yuping has always been worried about this, afraid that someone in the court will use this to frame Song Jiu.

The emperor agreed, so no matter how many words and impeachments are, it doesn’t matter.

Pan Lian'er looked at Yu Ping and said, "Sister Ping, congratulations."

Yuping whispered: "It's my family's fate, and I'm happy, I might as well include Xiao Su in the room."

Under Song Jiu's "instruction", the three of them were not so conservative in their sexual intercourse. However, when they were pregnant, no matter how Song Jiu advised them, all tricks were stopped. In this era, pregnancy may not be a real joy. Miscarriage is dangerous, miscarriage is dangerous, difficult childbirth is dangerous, and it may not be safe to give birth to a baby. The situation of premature death of a baby is very normal. Pan Lian'er gave birth to another daughter, and she was anxious and gave birth to a name, Panpan. Pan, Song Jiu did not object. In fact, in Song Jiu's heart, men and women are the same, as long as the mother and son are safer than anything else.

Therefore, as soon as I became pregnant, the two women were nervous more than anything else.

Since Pan Lian'er got pregnant, Song Jiu has to sleep alone.

"Speak stupid words." Song Jiu said.

"I suddenly couldn't bear to leave the officials."

"I'm talking stupid again, and I don't want to go back forever. I'll stay for a few months. When I want to come back, I can come back. Just think I'll leave for a while."

The family was talking when suddenly a servant of Pan's mansion ran in and said anxiously: "Jiulang, something big is wrong. Dalang beat up Liu Feng from the fake Han Dynasty and was shackled by the two kings and taken to Kaifeng Mansion."

"Hit for Liu Qing?"

"yes."

"You can't fight," Song Jiu said depressedly. At this moment, the emperor was a treasure.rs
