Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 283 Three appeals, where is the harm?
After Li Qian and the others knelt down, it was time for the banquet. These squires and outsiders were not illiterate people.

Even if there is no ink in the chest, there are countless talented scholars and beauties who are willing to sell poems to them.

Banquet Yin means that the banquet is accompanied by poems.

Li Qian said with a smile: "The new appearance of Zhuo Zhuo brings the moon deep, and the light weight is moved to cover the thick shade. Fanli flowers migrate to Qiong without species, and the Qin of Shu has a heart to choose music."

"Good poem!" Wang Boyan and other ministers also participated in the banquet.

As soon as Li Qian opened his mouth, Wang Boyan said hello loudly first.

"Young Master, what a great poem, the new moon, the light boat, the Lihua, the Shu Qin, what a great poem! What a beautiful scene! It's a pity that there is no Shu Guoqin to write the song. It's a pity." Wang Boyan said regretfully.

Li Qian said with a smile: "Wang Shaoqing, don't be impatient. This is only the upper half of the que, and the second half of the que has not yet been sung. The second half of the que is: after the exhibition, the powder fingers are kept, and the silk and bamboo are used to waste the voiceless sound, and the skin is pulled out by itself. Just go and cast gold for King Xie."

"Bring it up." Li Qian shouted loudly.

"A statue of pure gold."

There is a gilded statue full of brilliance, which casts the current Ninth Prince, and I don't know where these people got the appearance of the Ninth Prince, and cast such a gilt statue.

Of course, the inside is copper, lead and iron, and the outside is gilt.

It can't be all gold, so how much will it cost?
"It's easy to say! It's easy to say! There are many rewards! A brocade robe! It's very thoughtful." Zhao Gou began to wonder if his brother fainted from crying at the enthronement ceremony, crying out of his mind.

If you don't enjoy the blessings, the country of the Song Dynasty will be prosperous and the people will be safe. There are only a few disasters of the golden people. They don't necessarily know where the golden people are strong.

It's weird.Why do you have to go through such a toss? It is not too tiring to be an equal farmer and a military lord.

"My lord, Cao Min invited Shu Guoqin to compose this poem into a tune." Li Qian clapped his hands again.

A group of women composed of lean horses passed through the hall and stood in the center of the hall. The sound of silk and bamboo was heard, and their dancing posture was graceful and moving.

"Good! Good! Good! Let's drink this cup together!" Zhao Gou said three good words, raised the wine glass in his hand, and drank with the people in the hall.

Li Qian had a smile on his face, but there was worry in his eyes. This Zhao Gou was not the master.

He's already feeling it.

After the head of the willow on the moon, the drunken country gentry and outsiders filed out from outside the Fengshan Gate.

After Li Qian staggered back to the post station, just after he closed the door, all the drunkenness on his face disappeared. He sat at the table and wrote quickly, arranging a fast horse to head towards Huaibei.

This letter is addressed to Chen Zimei, the Chen family in Huaibei.

"Chen Chong, tell me, what are the dangers of these three politics?" Chen Zimei handed the letter to Chen Chong.

Chen Chong read the letter for a long time and said he didn't understand.

Although he is the magistrate of Hanoi, it is not during his term of office. He does not have a day of rest and has annual leave.

So he rushed back to Huaibei while visiting his relatives.

The officials are so heroic, they have to let the Chen family know that if they are on the wrong team, the consequences will be disastrous.

It was precisely because of this visit that he was able to make the Chen family donate tens of millions of dollars to the government, and let the Chen family enter the field of vision of today's officials.

And it was precisely because of this family visit that the Chen family completely rejected the matter of joining hands with the blood book, and worked for the current official family with peace of mind.

Zhao Gou had stayed at their Chen family for several days before, just trying to convince the Chen family himself.It's a pity that the Chen family "doesn't know how to flatter".

Tomorrow is his return date for Chen Chong. Before he left, a letter from Lin'an suddenly interrupted him to pack his bags. Chen Zimei took him to the study overnight.

"You, you, you are useless. The ministers are joking like Mei Gao, and you get a brocade robe for Cheng En at the banquet." Chen Zimei said with a sense of loss.

Chen Chong's face was ashamed and angry.

Like Dongfang Shuo, Meigao won the favor of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for his humor.

However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty always gave them high officials and generous salaries, but he just raised them like actors without giving them real power.

The main reason for Chen Chong's embarrassment and anger was that he didn't understand the harm of these three policies, and his father scolded him like a mei Gao.

I'm also scolding the ridiculousness of those people who are feasting.

"You have been in the officialdom for a long time. With this little knowledge, how can you serve His Majesty? The Chen family finally got into the eyes of the officials. In the end, you are still useless. What a misfortune for the family!" Chen Zimei sighed.

"Please tell my father clearly." Chen Chong knew that he was not smart, but he thought he was willing to learn.

Chen Zimei shook her head and said, "First, restore the imperial examination system."

"Cai Jing's abolition of the imperial examinations is because officials from the gentry and landlords often colluded with the government and businessmen. That's why county schools, state schools, prefectural schools, and imperial schools were established, and they went up one by one."

"Although going to school costs a lot of money, but you don't have to go to private schools by yourself, so that more people can go to school in general."

"Aren't the officials from the family of the country gentry and the officials from the school selected by literature?" Chen Chong asked with a frown.

"Stupid!" Chen Zimei cursed very angrily.

Chen Chong didn't wait for a while, he figured it out, and said, "My son understands!"

"Do you really understand?" Chen Zimei asked in disbelief.

Chen Chong nodded and said: "I really understand. I thought of the family history of the Li family in Xiangtan. Didn't his family start with Li Pu, a Jiangsu and Zhejiang shipping envoy, who used official ships to trade timber for profit?"

"The censor king in the palace continued to use official boats to sell private salt. Only then did the Jiangnan royal family, Teng Zongliang, the magistrate of Guozhou, sell tea with more than 180 soldiers and more than [-] donkey carts, and did not pay taxes. Only then did the Teng family of Guozhou come into being. "

Chen Zimei nodded, and said, "It's a good thing that you didn't study to make your brain stupid. If you are stupid, you don't want to go back to Hanoi. Just stay here in Huaibei, so as not to embarrass me."

"There are at most one million people in the capital, and more than one hundred thousand, which can be found everywhere. And the officials and outsiders in Bianjing don't all rely on their families to have a Jinshi and rank, and then get real power and powerful corruption. ?"

"With the protection of officials, big merchants can monopolize commercial firms, control taxation, and increasingly impact the monopoly business. Private salt, private iron, private casting, and private alum have become common practice."

"Isn't that how the Fan Tower in Bianjing came about?"

"This is for the politicians to protect me. That's why Cai Jing abolished the imperial examination. Instead, it became the selection of officials and scholars."

Chen Chong nodded again and again, the abolition of the imperial examination had such a deep meaning in it, Chen Chong didn't know it, because he was a former Jinshi, so he didn't pay attention to it at all.

"Since you understand this imperial examination, what about the second article, Didian?" Chen Zimei asked.

He was considering Chen Chong's sensitivity in the officialdom, and he was asking from the perspective of an official. Of course, Chen Chong knew where he should look at this issue.

But no matter how you look at it, this mansion store is a good thing among good things. The property is concentrated, and the common people can find a place to buy the goods they need, which speeds up the circulation and turnover of goods.Increasing local taxes is a good thing among good things no matter how you look at it.

Chen Chong had no choice but to say: "My son is dull."

Chen Zimei shook her head and said, "It's not your fault. It's your fault!"

"At the beginning, I thought you were really good at studying to be a Jinshi and the first to honor your ancestors, but you still had too little contact with family affairs."

"Didians are divided into ten classes according to their assets, do you know?" Chen Zimei asked.

Chen Chong nodded, he still knew this, he still went to the Didian, but after being abolished by Cai Jing, he had no contact with it.

"Ten class! Do you know what class our Chen family is?" Chen Zimei asked.

Chen Chong understood this very well, and said: "First-class grain, second-class tea, first-class silk, weaving first-class, second-class water, fifth-class salt, ninth-class aluminum. This is the ranking of my Chen family residence, the home of first-class merchants. "

He frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "I seem to understand a little bit."
