Chapter 47 County Yacheng Tavern
Wang has dealt with the trivial matters around him, but he is hindered by several things. First, his godfather Bao Zheng was promoted again and promoted to the prime minister. The prime minister was high enough, but according to the customization of the Song Dynasty, the prime minister impeached the prime minister. Whether there is evidence or not, the prime minister must resign.
Bao Zheng didn't understand why the boy next to Wang didn't do it with a good official. So I invited Lord Wang Anshi to have a date with Wang. The resignation of Mr. Wang was not discussed with Lord Bao and Mr. Wang Anshi. Naturally, the two elders still had to teach Mr. Wang a lesson. Bao Zheng almost asked, what kind of official do you want to be?
Wang is about to talk to Renzong before going to Chenzhou. He will also worship Zhang Yi in Chenzhou. He wants to see Zhang Zai and look for the matter under the moon by the way. He said it again. Bao Zheng laughed and scolded: Zhang Yi, an old man, is full of talents.
Wang Anshi didn't know this person and asked Bao Zheng, "But I don't know what kind of person this Yi is?"
Bao Zheng said, "This person can compare with Zhu Chong, Kang Xi and Zhang Bu in terms of official business. In terms of wealth, it is comparable to the hat Tian family.
Zhu Chong is specially designed for the transportation of flowers and stones for royal afforestation; Kang Xiju salt merchant and Zhang Bute's wine supply, which can only be done with the permission of the imperial court. And the hat Tian family married the heads of ten counties, and they have a lot of money. Who is this Yi?
Wang Bian also didn't know until he arrived in Bianjing that this Yi was to make friends with all walks of life. Although he does not preside over the kai, he is indeed the head of the financial resources behind the business. At the end of the month, we have to find his opinion on the commercial price of the service.
Wang Anshi frowned. He thought to himself how this man was so well-informed. Bao Zheng squinted his eyes and recalled the past and said, "I met Zhang Yi when I was in Chenzhou. He was modest, and although he was rich, his life was simple. Before I arrived at Kaifeng Mansion, this man had already been rich in the world. I also think about this person's excellence. Do you know?
Wang was thinking about the "time estimate" of the kai and Kaifeng Mansion when he suddenly heard Bao Zheng's question. He replied, "Master is good at insidizing information, and he has his own set of analysis. The child resigned this time, and he also wanted to further his study.
Wang Anshi turned to Bao Zheng, "I have a thought that this finance and finance are both financial and political. Now officials do not do nothing. If they do not reform, they are afraid that the treasury will inevitably be empty in the future. It is not said that if there are foreign enemies in governing the country, there is no capital to fight. When it comes to politics, it's better to change it with wealth, make an appointment with courtesy, and judge it with the law."
Bao Zheng agreed with Wang Anshi's idea and said, "So, it's also a good thing to resign here to learn more about money."
When Wang saw that both of them recognized him, he rubbed Bao Zheng to let him see the so-called "time estimation". It is estimated that it will be another half month.
During this period, Wang Anshi wrote to Renzong's "Wanyanshu" and explained the need for reform. Let Wang's side tell him about this trip, listen to Nan Jifeng's story about the south, and his understanding of the "kai" and "time estimation" of Song Dynasty. Now the king had to stay for a few more days. He thought to himself that Wang Anshi's change was a matter of the Shenzong period. Didn't he travel through time and space earlier?
Wang Bian remembered Zhang Yi's homework when he left Chenzhou next to Wang. He took advantage of his spare time to visit the shops, the Caoyun wharf, and knew the origin of wine, salt, tea and other things. Only then did he know that Guangnan was also an important salt land. Isn't this salt forbidden in this impression? But the Northern Song Dynasty was not all like this.
The general trade activities of businessmen are basically meracilited by the imperial court. Even if it is forbidden to monopoly goods, it does not completely exclude the trading of merchants. It mainly adopts the method of cooperation between the government and merchants, and merchants participate in the operation, so that many tea merchants, salt merchants and introduction merchants in the Song Dynasty became rich and powerful people.
The government buys all kinds of goods, mainly dealing with various commercial kai. The first is to collect commercial tax, the second is to implement the department, and also to assist the government to check the quality of official goods.
The last king of the year (quarter) went to Kaifeng Mansion to see this 'time estimate'. See that the department has recruited the serviced households of each tribut, and agreed with the officials of the department to negotiate the price of goods for the goods in the second half of the year. Then set the next year's price.
Now the king understood that Zhang Yi also had news from the guild and the government, and Zhang Yi was the "head of the beggar gang". There is both first-hand news and the right to participate in pricing. And Zhang Yi is better at "knowing the end".
It is said that the news that this group leader wants is simply well-informed, but there is no news under the moon. At this time, the king was touched by a scene and couldn't wait to leave Bianjing immediately.
On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, Renzong said that the Moheluo who came to the palace was given to the kings, grandsons, nobles and their ministers. Some of the Moheluo was equipped with carved wood colored railings, used red yarn and blue cages as a cover, and decorated with gold and silver jewelry. And the coincidence is a delicate clay doll, which is more luxurious to wear men's or women's clothes and decorate gold, silver and jewelry.
Although Wang's side did not have an official position, he also received a royal gift. It turned out to be a pair of clever children, which reminded him of the moon. At this time, Zhang Zai was working as a county magistrate in Danzhou, which belongs to Yong's military road. Wang Bian decided to take a detour before going to Danzhou. First, I went to Fenzhou to take Di Qing's ashes back for burial, and find Liang Yuexia by the way.
Danzhou belongs to Yongxing West Road, which is known as the "North Gate" from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Song Dynasty. It is named because the rocks overlap into the clouds. This place is only about 200 miles away from Yanzhou in the Battle of Yanzhou in the first year of Renzong Kangding.
Wang's trip can be said to be a thousand miles away. Bianjing to Danzhou is a thousand miles away. After calculating the journey, Wang's side hopes to see Zhang Zai soon and understand the art of going through the past and the present. If you drive, you will be there in about ten hours. But think about it, even if you drive here, you have to walk all day without a highway. If ordinary people start, they will have to walk for a month.
Considering that Lu Shenyan has not traveled so far, and Chenzhou's "home" also needs people, Wang Pian sent Lu Shenyan back to Chenzhou to wait for the news. Thinking of arranging He Libo to continue to work in Kaifeng Mansion, He Libo said that he would not do anything. Everyone was worried about going so far away from Wang. It was good to see He Libo like a big brother, and it was good to have him to take care of his colleagues.
Next to the king, He Libo and the other two took a detour to Fenzhou, walked through the hometown of Diqing in the West River, and looked for Diqing's old friend to bury General Diqing's ashes. No one knows the news under the moon. The king was a little disappointed. After dealing with Di Qing's affairs, he went to Danzhou.
The mountain road became more and more difficult. The two set out on the eighth day of July and arrived in Yunyan County, Danzhou. It was around August 15. After entering the county to inquire about the location of the county government office, I went to the gate of the county government office and saw that only the government office was on duty. The county government office was opened, and several tables of banquets were arranged in the open space in front of the lobby of the county government office. The government official was not a bad job, and he was busy serving dishes before and after.
The two people next to the king entered the front yard of the county government office, and they all took care of them. He Liwa grabbed a government official who had just served the food and asked, "What are you doing?"
The yaman was walking quickly. He was almost staggered by him. He hurriedly stopped his steps and looked at He Libo and asked, "Are you two from other places? Is there an announcement or a case?"
He Li Bo waved his hand: None of them are. We are here to visit the magistrate of Zhangzai County.
As soon as the yamen heard it, there was a simple smile of the people in northern Shaanxi: If there is nothing urgent, I will go back and report to the county magistrate first. Can't you do it today?
He asked and answered questions one by one. The yard of the inspector next to the king looked in. He couldn't figure out what was going on. There were old people on the four or five tables, and the youngest was about 50 years old. These people chatted while drinking.
He Li Bo asked: Your county government has become a restaurant. Why can't you find a county magistrate?
The yaman said: Today is the day when the county magistrate entertains the elders of the county, and there is such a day of not receiving official duties every month. He rushed to Zhang Luo and said as he walked. He Li Bo and Wang also found it interesting, so they followed him to listen.
Wang pointed to the courtyard and said: Those are all the old people in the county. What did your county magistrate talk about with them?
With that, the three of them had walked to the kitchen of the inner courtyard and saw other serving officials rushing by. It seemed that they didn't take the two people next to the king of He Li Bo in the county government office seriously. Instead, he called him Yang Bantou when he was led by the way.
Yang Ban stepped into the kitchen, and the cook in it was busy. He raised his voice to answer their questions next to the king: what can we talk about, talk about the farmer's harvest, and whether the business is easy to do or not. Our county magistrate is broken-mouthed, and even talked about anyone's wedding and funeral.
He Li Bo listened and laughed. Yang Bantou asked the head of the chef which dish to bring. He turned to see that He Liba, who was still behind him, and said, "If you two have nothing urgent, come back tomorrow. Don't you see that we are busy?" The head of the Yang class held the vegetables and muttered: The magistrate of this county did not say that he would increase his hands.
Wang Zan smiled and shook his head. This Zai is really good enough, but I don't know if the Zhang Zai said by the master is the Zhang Zai he has seen. A year ago, there was also Zhang Zai, who was a Jinshi. It seemed that he was not young. He was still Cheng Yi, Cheng Hao's uncle. At that time, Wang was only more familiar with Wang Shao. And among those people, Su Shi is dazzling, so he probably knows this person, but he has no impression.
Back to the front yard, it was still the scene just now. He Li Bo said, "Brother, you said that this county magistrate doesn't wear an official uniform. Which one is it?"
Wang also saw that his eyes were confused, and everyone smiled. Even if he found Zhang Zai today, he couldn't talk about it in detail. After leaving the county government office, the two of them found a shop in the county to live in first and settle down.
On the second day, the two people next to the king went to the county government office to find the county magistrate. The government officials told them that the county magistrate had gone out, and the two of them were empty again.
On the third day, he went to the government office and said that the two of them were late again today, and the county magistrate went to the countryside to inspect the autumn harvest.
He Li Bo couldn't help asking, don't your county magistrate ask about the county's case, don't you sit in the hall?
Yang Bantou recognized the two of them again and said: There are nails on the chair of the magistrate of our county, and he basically can't sit still. Since his arrival, there have been almost no cases in this county. The roads are not picked up, and the house is not closed at night. Our brothers are bored to death every day.
Yang Bantou said that he was almost bored to death, but his face was full of smiles. Wang asked when Mr. Yang Bantou County would come back.
Yang Bantou pinched his fingers and said: If all the magistrates in the surrounding townships go, he will probably come back in two or three days.
The two people next to the king were helpless. After two or three days, the government officials saw them from afar and said: You two are finally here
He Li Bo asked happily: Is the county magistrate there?
Yang Bantou said, "You should come early. The county magistrate went out again early in the morning, but you two can rest assured that you didn't go far." He pointed with his hand:
It's in the east of the county, walking six or seven miles to the bank of the Yellow River. The county magistrate just went there.
