Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 180 The Last Dream in Tokyo 1
"Sir, you can't give up just because you have a problem. The descendants of us can't enjoy the shade in vain. They have to solve all the problems. Eating ready-made food will make people not want to make progress."

Zhong Liqiu understood Wang Xiu's meaning very well, and he also understood that nothing is perfect, and there are flaws in even the most meticulous plan, just like the improvement of the salt law and money law he manipulated to solve the financial crisis back then, it played a big role, sufficient The money played a decisive role in carrying out the party project, but it also caused adverse reactions to the country's prosperity and the people's poverty, making the sharp society since Xining's reform even more acute, and ultimately irreparable, otherwise he would not have taken the blame and retired.

Wang Xiu's bank plan caught his eye. It was a leap forward development on the basis of private pledge lending. It was more perfect than Tang Feiqian and this dynasty's Jiaozi. Let him see the solution to the problems that plagued the rulers of all generations.

In the past dynasties, the three major disasters of military use, river control, and disaster relief have stumped many outstanding men. It is nothing more than limited financial resources. No matter how rich the world is, taxation is limited, and the treasury is also limited. Regardless of everything, it is also a solution to the symptoms rather than the root cause. intensification of social conflicts.

Banks control private capital, especially the development of commercial capital, and eventually form a financial flow, using everyone's money in the world for one thing, without raising taxes or increasing taxes. It is true that the people who save money are taking risks, but their returns It is also rich.

It can be imagined that under the pressure of absolute money, any obstacles are like chickens and dogs, and hard consumption is also consumed by money.

"Look, sir, the purpose of the establishment of the Office, to put it bluntly, is to plunder the wealth of the world. The South China Sea and the East China Sea are rich in gold, silver, and spices. Gold is everywhere. Bringing these wealth to China, it is conceivable that even the Han and Tang Dynasties had such glory .” Wang Xiu slowly explained his thoughts, which he never said.

"Therefore, the students suggested that the imperial court set up a bodyguard navy. The maritime case, the bank, and the bodyguard navy are like a troika, invincible."

Zhong Liqiu is a wise man, and he fully understands what Wang Xiu means. The maritime business case actually controls foreign sea and land trade. What he didn't say is that this yamen is relatively independent from the government office, and it is a planning agency responsible for overseas plunder, just like people Just like your brain, the guards, sailors and banks have legs, feet and torso, with a sword in one hand and a scale in the other. You can do business honestly, let me make all the money, everything is easy to say, otherwise I will get what I want with a three-foot Qingfeng everything of.

Thinking of this, he was excited for a while. As a literati, he is definitely a Confucianist in the true sense, and he was a Confucianist in the pre-Qin period. accomplish."

"Sir." Wang Xiu smiled lightly, and said, "Mr. also said just now that Mr. You is in the maritime case and Jiangning Industrial and Commercial Bank, and he will never let Cai You mess around."

Zhong Liqiu nodded slowly, and said playfully: "That's what I said, but a gold ingot! Cai You is not the only one who has made up his mind."

Wang Xiu's face was also very solemn. Cai You jumped out to fight for power just after the office had set up the stage. If the bank got huge profits, even Zhao Ji would be jealous. Their intervention by laymen would definitely be a catastrophe.

"Sir, can the bank run slowly."

"It's unlikely. Once some things start, they can't stop. They put money in it just to get profit. If the bank's cost is too high and the profit is too low, there may be unpredictable variables." Zhong Liqiu He couldn't agree. After several months of operation, his understanding of the bank became deeper and deeper. While marveling at Wang Xiuzhi's ignorance, he also felt a deep sense of powerlessness towards the bank's horrible operation ability.

"Since this is the case, then we have to persevere even more and hold our ground." Wang Xiu had a trace of determination on her face, preventing outsiders from intervening first.

Zhong Liqiu shook his head, took a sip of wine from his glass, and said solemnly: "No, there are only permanent officials in the world, and there are no iron-clad officials. It's better to leave early in troubled times."

Wang Xiu pondered for a while, and asked: "Sir, they are the only ones who think too highly of them. Wang Fu and Li Bangyan are all relying on the means of actors. If they are really capable, they are really few."

"Wen Shi, don't underestimate the heroes of the world, otherwise you will suffer." Zhong Liqiu disagreed with Wang Xiu's statement, and said sternly: "Wang Fu went from relying on Cai Xianggong to take the position, to being evil with Cai Xianggong, not only was he not taken by Cai Xianggong Is it because of actors? And Li Bangyan, although it is true that he is a prodigal son, but his tricks of scheming are definitely not inferior to Cai Xianggong."

"You can imagine that they may not be good at running the country, but they are all very good at fighting for power and profit. To fight against them, you must have qualifications and means, not to mention the trust of the emperor."

Wang Xiu was silent, he admitted that what Zhong Liqiu said was right, no matter in terms of qualifications or skills, he couldn't compare with these people.Regarding the matter of Emperor Maode, Zhao Ji's favor is not there, and there is also a gap between him and Cai Jing. The conflict of interests is so cruel, there are not so many tricks, you have nothing to impress others, who wants to care about you!
However, there is still a vigor in his chest, the determination to not admit defeat and not to be reconciled, he has finally built a framework for the future, and it must not be in the hands of others.

"Okay, I also know that you are not reconciled, as long as I do what I can, I will try my best to defend the Haishang case and Jiangning Bank." Zhong Liqiu sighed softly when he saw Wang Xiu's expression was uncertain.

"Sir, here's a toast to you." Wang Xiu picked up the cup with a smile.

"Okay, let's have a good drink today, and only talk about Fengyue." Zhong Liqiu chuckled and drank a big glass of wine.

Coincidentally, Wen Xijun came in with a black lacquered tray on which soup was placed, put down the tray, took out a letter from his sleeve, and said with a smile, "Official, a letter was sent from a yamen outside just now."

Wang Xiu took a look and said with a smile, "Sir, they are from Shangshui County. It seems that I should go home and have a look."

Zhong Liqiu took a sip of the wine and said with a smile: "Shangshui is an outstanding person, and he will go to teach after I beg for bones."

Wen Xijun glanced at Zhong Liqiu in surprise, she was surprised by Wang Xiu's respect for Zhong Liqiu, but obediently did not ask any more questions.

"Miss Wen, I heard that Third Sister Qin of Fanlou knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, why didn't she come here today?" Zhong Liqiu said with a smile.

"Third sister doesn't come here often, and I go to the shop with my slave when I have something to do." Wen Xijun didn't know what Zhong Liqiu meant, so he had to answer honestly.

Wang Xiu didn't pay attention to Zhongliqiu and Wen Xijun, he eagerly opened the letter, wanting to check the situation at home, his expression changed when he looked closely.

The next day, Yanfu Palace.

Zhao Ji unexpectedly summoned Wang Xiu, and it was at the Feihuating Pavilion next to the Yanchun Pavilion in the palace. An embankment was built in the lake to connect it to the pavilion.Outside the Feihuating Pavilion, a wide beam was built to enter the lake. On the beam, there are Maoting Gate, Hezhuang Gate, Luyan Gate and Kongcui Gate, which extend to the area of ​​Lize Gate. Made in heaven.

When Wang Xiu arrived, the eunuch Zhang Di was the one who received him. He was a famous pimp. Zhao Ji didn't show up. The people who received him were the women in the harem headed by Empress Zheng. Even Concubine Liu Gui was there. His presence made his face look ugly.

Zhang Di obviously saw Wang Xiu's dissatisfaction. He gave Empress Zheng and Concubine Liu Gui a wink. Empress Zheng naturally had a way of talking, and Concubine Liu Gui didn't have any airs.

As the son of heaven, you summoned your ministers into the palace and asked them to write lyrics for the concubines. This is too absurd. You really treat him like an imperial edict.

"I've heard of Zhige's name a long time ago. Last time, I let Sixth Sister and the others get a good deal. I will definitely get it back today." Concubine Liu looked at Wang Xiu on the other side of the bead curtain with her beautiful eyes, and her laughter was clear and heart-pounding. Zhao Ji's first favorite concubine in the harem.

Wang Xiu, like those who don't understand the style, is not interested in Concubine Liu who is drunk with a smile, and said: "Your Majesty is exaggerating, it's just a false name, I really don't dare to be loved by your Majesty."

"Okay, Zhige, don't be humble. It's because I couldn't bear their entrustment that I invited the official Xuan Zhige to come. I hope Zhige will forgive me." Empress Zheng apologized one by one, but her pretty face was smiling. She is more than ten years old, but her charm is still the same as before, she looks like a graceful and luxurious lady.

Wang Xiu curled her lips secretly, slandering that only a master like Zhao Ji could do such absurd things and let so many wives blackmail others.I thought it was the same thing in my heart, but I couldn't shirk it in face, it was too offending, he said indifferently: "Since the empress said it, I will obey."

There is no way, since we are here, we have to compromise and satisfy those noble ladies behind the bead curtain. He can't afford to offend these ladies. These noble ladies may not be able to help him, but if they ruin his affairs, they will definitely be first-rate masters .

Empress Zheng was overjoyed, she turned to Concubine Liu Gui and said, "Sister, you should come first."

"Eldest sister is the master of the inner palace, so of course she has to take the lead."

The corners of Wang Xiu's mouth twitched for a while, what is this called!It's really green vegetables, radishes and green onions, each of them is humble.

Only the old god Zhang Di was always there, standing aside with a wooden face, but his slightly trembling shoulders revealed his inner thoughts.

More than [-] short poems with different styles made those noble ladies smile and speak a lot more aptly, especially Concubine Liu Gui said that she was worthy of being the true emperor of the early days. Pumping, almost had a stroke.

"Your Majesty is a concubine of the Heavenly Palace, and I dare not let your Majesty praise you." Wang Xiu had a toothache and spilled good words for free.

Empress Zheng and Concubine Liu left contentedly, and then the ladies left one after another according to their identities.

There were so many people, Miss Lin Yue looked at Wang Xiu eagerly, bowed her body a little and smiled kindly, Wang Xiu nodded slowly in return.

Zhang Di saw it in his eyes, and it was a bit tasteful. Sister Lin Yue enjoyed a good reputation in the palace. Her beauty was recognized only by Concubine Liu Gui, but she was very talented. She seemed to have a cold for Wang Xiu, but it was reasonable to win her favor. It's good to give a smiling face, isn't it too much?
