Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 285
A sternness flashed in Cai You's eyes, and he said, "My lord, I think it's best for Taiwei Tong to bring him back."

"Why do you press so hard?" Cai Jing saw that Tong Guan and Wang Xiu were silent, but Cai You was aggressive, lamenting the good son he had, and couldn't help but change color.

The atmosphere of the banquet was stagnant, Cai Gengdao hurriedly said: "My lord, take care of yourself."

Cai Jing's complexion was unkind, and his cloudy eyes exuded a sharp light, which made people feel cold. The superior aura of the four prime ministers was not for fun, and even Tong Guan, a murderous guy like hemp, dared not look at him.

Was Cai You scolded by Cai Jing, his old face was flushed, but because of the presence of his family, Tong Guan, and Wang Xiu, he didn't dare to talk back to his father, for fear that it would hurt his reputation if it spread.

The less well-known a person is, the more self-righteous he cherishes his face, just like a bitch wants to set up a memorial archway.

Wang Xiu chuckled, and said: "Grand Master, Cai Xianggong also obeyed the government's order. If he is a little impatient, he hopes that the Grand Master will appease his anger. Why don't I accompany the Grand Master to make a drinking order."

"What Wen Shi said is, let's eat wine, my lord." Cai Gengdao looked at Wang Xiu gratefully.

Tong Guan also laughed and said with a smile: "Grand Master, my stomach is empty."

Cai Jing also felt that something was wrong after scolding, Cai You came here on behalf of Zhao Guan's family, his harsh words were afraid that Zhao Ji would be displeased, and he regretted it very much. He came down from the ladder and said, "Then make a drinking order."

Cai You couldn't help but look at Wang Xiu a few times, but he was very interested in it. No matter what he said, he was given a step by someone. This is a favor, but he had to remember his son's loss. He told himself secretly that Wang Xiu was very cunning. , don't be soft-hearted.

Wang Xiu didn't intend to reconcile with Cai You at all. How many days can a grasshopper jump around after autumn?He persuaded everyone for the sake of reputation, and people would say that he considered the overall situation and understood the general situation, no matter what, it was a good thing.

After drinking for three rounds, under Tong Guan's insinuation, Cai Jing had no choice but to write an official memorial and hand it over to Tong Guan.However, Lao Cai also has a lot of backbone, maybe because he felt that it was impossible to contribute, he refused to write any more because of his poor health.

According to the unwritten rules of the imperial court, in order to show the emperor's love for talents and respect for the virtuous and worthy, three articles should be written for resignation or county memorials.

Cai Jing’s excuse made Zhao Ji dumbfounded. It must be said that Zhao Ji still has affection for Cai Jing, and he didn’t make things difficult for Cai Jing. He asked the Hanlin Academy to write two more memorials for his official appointment.

"It's really shameless!" Wang Xiu stayed at home comfortably, enjoying the wine and beauties, but she was very emotional.

"What are the officials talking about?" Youqin Mo Yan was puzzled.

"I'm thinking, when can I go back to Shangshui, see my parents and Aunt Li, and take a look at the school by the way."

Youqin Moyan smiled, and said: "Of course the three elders don't need to say anything, but you, the mountain chief, are too ridiculous. I don't know who else knows you, the mountain chief, except Fat Dun?"

Wang Xiu blushed for a while. To be honest, he really didn't deal with it. Half of what the students learned was his ideas, but he didn't fulfill any of the duties of the head of the mountain.It was Hong Zhen, Li Changsheng, and Liu Renfeng who were working hard. In essence, those students were not his students, but students of Hong Zhen and others.

"I'm not busy with official duties. Things happen one after another, endlessly. I really want to go home and teach for a few years and enjoy it." He smiled sheepishly.

He has already become vigilant, he must make time to spare his hands, and personally teach some students, it has nothing to do with fighting for power and profit, but the real inheritance of his own thoughts.

"Brother said it nicely. Ever since you came to Tokyo, you have been obsessed with official positions, so you don't have any interest in studying." Youqin Moyan rolled his eyes, and smiled again: "However, what my brother does is all big and good things, and he can start a business." A small school can be regarded as worthy of parents and folks."

What kind of thing is this!Praise or scold?The corner of Wang Xiu's mouth twitched violently. It is true that Youqin and Mo Yan are much docile, but his tricky personality has not changed at all, which makes him quite helpless.However, Youqin Moyan's words gave him a warning. He was too addicted to power, and seemed to be gradually lost. Thinking about the means of doing things, he had reached the point of unscrupulous, and he still had a mentality that should be taken for granted.

Thinking about it again, the world is extremely difficult. If you want to carve out a world in the last days, if your heart is not hard, your methods are not poisonous, and your actions are not ruthless, you have already been eaten by others until there is no scum left. How can you still circle around a group of old foxes?No wonder those capable ministers who have been famous for thousands of years are more treacherous than treacherous ministers who have been stinking for thousands of years. They can't speak or understand.

"Sister, if one day I do something earth-shattering, will you be proud! Or will you stop it?" Wang Xiu was a little guilty, he cared about Youqin Moyan.

"It's earth-shattering, isn't what brother did earth-shattering?" Youqin Moyan rolled her eyes at Wang Xiu. Because of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang affairs, she and Wang Xiu got angry for two months, killing people every now and then.

"I hope you don't mind." Wang Xiu said with a gentle face.

The unveiling of Cai Jing's era also represents the imminent end of the Song Dynasty, and resignation is only the end of the beginning of the end.

Zhao Ji issued an edict to restore Shenzong Yuanfeng's official system, restore the name of Shangshuling, and did not grant it. Sangong once again became a high-ranking official.

Tong Guan received the most benefits. He was granted the title of King of Guangyang, with [-] households in Shiyi, and [-] households in Shishi. The reward of the favorite.

There was an uproar in the government and the public. Since ancient times, no eunuchs have been crowned kings. Even if the monarchs around the eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty were abolished, no eunuchs had ever been crowned kings.After a wave of ups and downs, Cai Yougang was added to the rank of Taibao official. Ma Kuo sent to Guantang in Zhending Mansion, asking the Xuanfu envoy to deploy heavy troops to defend Zhongshan and Zhending.

Ma Kuo is a legendary figure. He was a Jinshi of Wu, sent envoys to Khitan and Jurchen, and frequently interacted with upper-level figures. He can be said to be the person who knows the border affairs best.He also sent a secret letter directly to Tong Guan and Cai You, concluding that the Jurchens are about to launch a southward invasion, and suggested that the western army be transferred to the east as soon as possible to prevent a possible war
On that day, Zhong Liqiu came to Beijing by order. Due to the continuous expansion of Huangsong Industrial and Commercial Bank, it was time to set up a special administrative office.The Prime Minister's Office of State Affairs has been abolished. Whether it is the Maritime Affairs Department or the bank management office to be established, the level is no lower than that of the Maritime Affairs Department. Compared with the re-establishment of the Office, Zhao Ji is more concerned about the Maritime Affairs Department and the bank. Companies and banks make money!

No matter how capable Wang Xiu is, it is impossible to turn things around in half a year.

Zhao Ji personally summoned Zhongliqiu and Shen Mo, Wang Xiu also accompanied him, Tong Guan, Cai You, and Li Bangyan were of course present.

Since it is a matter that Zhao officials are interested in, of course everything is easy to handle. Taking Wang Xiu's suggestion, set up Huangsong Industrial and Commercial Bank in Tokyo to govern all industrial and commercial banks. Jingdong has two east and west roads, and Southeast Industrial and Commercial Bank has a wider coverage, covering five roads.

Huangsong Industrial and Commercial Bank is defined as a supervision and management office, and does not directly intervene in road-level industrial and commercial banks. Of course, there is the best candidate for the promotion of the bank, and that is Zhong Liqiu. Even if Cai You and Li Bangyan are hot-eyed, there is nothing they can do. What's the matter?Professional things, laymen can't play at all.

"Your Majesty, private banks are running rampant and exploiting the interests of the people. It is better to induce them to set up regional private banks as a supplement to the Huangsong Bank." Wang Xiu threw a big bomb.

Cai You's mouth twitched, and he immediately retorted: "No, the private bank has strong financial resources. Once a bank is established, it will definitely compete with the court for profit."

"Could it be that the imperial court is afraid that the common people will compete for profit?" Wang Xiu glanced at her with disdain.

Li Bangyan glanced at Wang Xiu, curled his lips and said, "I am afraid that the small people's pursuit of profit will intensify and disrupt the market."

But Zhong Liqiu glanced at Li Bangyan disdainfully, and said lightly: "My husband is worrying too much, there is no development without competition."

"Let go of the opening of private banks, and let the two governments postpone the discussion." After all, Zhao Ji had doubts.

Wang Xiu didn't plan to start a private bank. When is this time? He changed his mind and said, "The establishment of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of Lianghe, Your Majesty, should be postponed."

"Why?" Zhao Ji asked suspiciously.

"The situation in Yanshanfu Road and Hedong is not stable, and it is not suitable to set up large-scale banks for the time being."

Tong Guan and Cai You's eyelids twitched, there was something in Wang Xiu's words, and it was obvious!They all remembered Ma Kuo's secret letter at the same time.

Zhao Ji looked hesitant, looked at Tong Guan in a blink of an eye, and said slowly: "How is the situation in Lianghe?"

Cai You kept silent, but Tong Guan had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "It's nothing serious."

"Yeah." Zhao Ji breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled again: "The Qing family is worrying too much, Lianghe Industrial and Commercial Bank should be put on the agenda early."

Zhao Guan's family was crazy about money, Wang Xiu curled her lips, looked at Tong Guan with disdain, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, I have news that Jurchen is dispatching troops to the north of Feihu. As an ally, I'm afraid it's a bit uncomfortable Be trustworthy."

Zhao Ji's eyes were fixed, and he looked at Tong Guan in a blink of an eye, full of doubts. Allied countries should inform the other party when they transfer troops to the border, so as not to cause misunderstanding.

"It's just that the frontier ministers are trying to make military achievements. The Jurchen's destruction of Khitan has not stabilized people's hearts, so there is no spare power to go south to harass." Cai You said carelessly.

Wang Xiu frowned when she heard this, and said very bluntly: "Master, in March last year, more than [-] people from the Yisheng Army in Hedong rebelled. Every time I come to the court, I try my best to entertain them, which will definitely stimulate their greed."

"Zhige is too worried. The imperial court has [-] forbidden troops in Lianghe and Yanshan, and more than [-] Changsheng and Yisheng troops. The tens of thousands of captives are not to be feared. How can a few bandit troops rebel against us? The border." The turmoil of the two river armies was also an important reason for Tan Zhen's resignation, Tong Guan's face changed, and he secretly scolded Wang Xiuzhen for his mother's troubles.
