Chapter 366 Beautiful Vision

The two prime ministers and Sima Guang left the hanging arch hall, and Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He waved to the eunuchs and maids serving in the hall and motioned the people on both sides to retreat. "Alas, I really don't know what's good about being an emperor. I really miss the days when I went to Guangnan to Dali with Brother Wang." He seemed to say to himself. The king looked at Zhao Yu. The death of Yingzong and the day and night of labor made the new emperor look a little haggard.

"Hey, you don't have to worry. These are all small things." Wang said in a slightly comforting tone,

Zhao Yu smiled bitterly: "It's just these little things. The endless officials are upset. Do you think these old ministers are all the problems of the previous emperors? Now it's such a mess, the treasury is empty, which is an internal worry; Xixia Li Liangzuo is ready to move again. This is an external problem. Look at the court again, and it's still noisy there. They quarreled, and even the matter of removing the ashes was moved to the hall. I don't know what would be good for the officials if there were foreign countries around now.

"Then if Xixia really sends troops, does the emperor want to fight with him?"

"Of course, but..." Zhao Yu said, but suddenly stopped, staring at Wang and then showed a long-lost smile: "Brother Wang, I heard from Bachelor Cai say that the bank is running normally, and Taibao Bank has abundant funds. Do you still remember that when the court opened a bank loan for you as a guarantee, the two of us What did you say?

Wang pang xiao xiao: "Of course, remember, didn't the emperor say that you would open one when you ascended the throne?"

"There's no time, and think about it again..."

"Well, I remember, the emperor said that he seemed to mortgage something for me." Wang said deliberately avoiding the weight and lightly,

Zhao Yu looked at the king very speechlessly. At the beginning, the two of them were half-joking, and that scene seemed to have happened in front of their eyes. Now all this really happened. Zhao Yu recalled the scene at that time and said slowly, "On that day, Brother Wang came to see me after eating with his father. I asked you and my father. What have you said? Brother Wang told me that he was going to open a bank. I joked: Brother Wang, if one day the court wants to turn around and borrow money from Brother Wang, what about it?"

The king also remembers this scene very clearly. He followed Zhao Yu's words, and the imitator said in a tone at that time, "Then the court also has to mortgage me before I can borrow it."

When Zhao Yu saw that Wang, he still remembered what he said at that time, he was happy. Now he told him that the most worried thing was money. He immediately pretended to frown and thought, "What's the point?"

The following dialogue at that time was like this: "Do you dare to resist your Song Dynasty,~" Wang Bian asked in a low voice. Zhao Yu listened and smiled: "Cut, you can open a bank, wait for the official to ascend the throne, and the court will open it by yourself. Don't blame me for robbing your business."

At present, Zhao Yu really ascended the throne. The prince beside the king was no longer the prince who joked with him, but the dignified emperor of the Song Dynasty. Zhao Yu was looking at him and looked at him with good eyes. The king smiled: "Do you dare to resist your Song Dynasty?"

The two looked at each other and seemed to be competing, and they seemed to be looking for resonance in each other's eyes. Finally, the two laughed at the same time. Wang saw the retreat from Zhao Yu's eyes, and Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Brother Wang is still so true. If I can't manage this country well, I'd better give you a mess."

"Your emperor, I still have another way to solve your worries."

Zhao Yu's eyes lit up: "Speak quickly."

"Li Liangzuo of Xixia will definitely make a move, but I think this is a good thing. The emperor now wants to clean up the imperial platform. Whether it is to punish corruption and punish corruption or reform the imperial platform, there must be a transitional time. Although it is a good thing to control corruption, it is inevitable that people will panic and complain. Since you want to fight Xixia, I strongly support it, not to mention The evil Xixia people took away my son. We can just turn the attention of the officials and the people to the war against Xixia. As for the silver, the emperor can issue treasury bonds for national construction, and the Taibao Bank is responsible for the sales of the treasury bonds. Of course, you are right. If you don't have me, you will It's useless for me to give it to me in the Song Dynasty.

"National debt, what does this mean?" Zhao Yu listened carefully and asked questions from time to time,

"The country, the state, of course, is to say, the state of the Song Dynasty, that is, the emperor of the imperial court. Of course, the bonds issued by the imperial court are of course the national bonds, just like my Yongzhou construction debt."

"This is good, this is good. In this way, the official family is just like you. When the treasury is abundant, just pay more interest. It's not like your king of Zhennan, who always wants my country."

The king was funny in his heart: "You can't wait. The emperor has to set a year, three years, or more, and it must be returned at that time."

Zhao Yu frowned: "The officials still don't understand. It's not a question for you to sell in Taibao Bank, but Brother Wang, you won't be so kind to help the officials raise money without making a profit."

"Hahahaha, of course not, how much your interest will be paid, and the number of how much my takeaway is determined by me. Let's put it this way, assuming that the emperor pays 3% of the interest on your one-year regular treasury bonds, then I will give me the interest of how much I underwrite, and I will pay the national debt of the takeaway. You don't have to worry about how much I earn."

"Well, I knew you weren't that kind."

Wang looked at Zhao Yu, who seemed to know himself very well, and wanted to make him feel that he was only for money: "A gentleman loves money. Besides, how many treasury bonds you send, but my bank wants to sell them all of them. That is, even if the Prince Bank is not sold, I will give as much money the emperor uses, and I don't Don't I feel bad about what you do with me?

"Well, I want a lot. Please send it for me." Zhao Yu clapped his hands and said,

"This doesn't work. You have to know how much you want, what you want to do, and when to return it. Besides, it's related to the reputation of the royal family. You have to think about it clearly."

Now Zhao Yu was in trouble: "You said a lot of ideas, but this doesn't work or that doesn't work. Forget it, you can make a decision. Tell me more specifically, what should the official do?"

The king smiled confidently: "That's right. Let's talk about what you want to do with money first."

"What else can I do? Of course, I will play Xixia as you said."

"Well, I'll make a budget, and the Holy Lord will call on Bachelor Cai to negotiate. You can issue as many bonds as you need. This question should be solved, right?"

Zhao Yu blinked his eyes, lowered his head and smiled, "Brother Wang, I'm afraid you have already made the budget you said."

"Your emperor is wise."

"Well, the official family is up to you, but the official family has a condition that it doesn't sound good at all. How can I compare the Song Dynasty with the foreign countries? It's called Song debt."

Borrow money when you borrow money, and the name is more serious. Wang Zong also found it interesting to see Zhao Yu: "Weichen obeys the order, Weichen has another thing to report to the emperor. Taibao Bank is supervised by Bachelor Cai on behalf of the court. If the emperor raises money for the war or defense of Xixia, should the bank also supervise the money?"

"Brother Wang, how many years have you and I been friends? Look, you are getting more and more and more detoured with me." Zhao Yu was slightly dissatisfied, and then said, "I know that Brother Wang wants to know the whereabouts of Ling Lang. For the movement of Xixia, the imperial historians of Yanzhou and other places have begun to prepare. The general reported that he has done a good defense, but I am also worried about the question that Brother Wang said at the beginning. Now there are many old and disabled soldiers on the border, so I want to transfer elite soldiers from all over the country. General, and Brother Wang will be appointed as the supervisor. Brother Wang will be satisfied with this arrangement.

Wang nodded: "Your Majesty is quite thoughtful. I'm worried that you can't handle it."

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "If you have a brother, you have considered everything; but after all, I am also the father of three children. Although the eldest son - Zhao Yu, Zao Shang; the second son - Zhao Zhi, Zao Shang; the third son - Zhao Jun, Zao Shang, there are no three in a row, but I am also a father. I feel the same way Brother Wang. Ah, what's more, you are willing to go to Yongzhou. I can't always think of asking Brother Wang for a solution to everything. Since there is a solution to the problem, I will issue an order. Brother Wang, you should also prepare for the army early.

Wang side looked at Zhao Yu in front of him and couldn't help but be moved when he heard these words. In a blink of an eye, Zhao Yu had grown up for ten years. Naturally, he had his responsibility, or just as Zhao Yu said, only in front of the king was he like a child, and he had already had his own plan in his heart. It was not easy for a mess to be pressed on his shoulders. Spiritually He is dependent on Wang. In terms of financial resources, he is dependent on Wang. From the expectations for the future of the Song Dynasty, he is still dependent on Wang. For Zhao Yu, the reform that Wang Fang said is like a painting worth looking forward to. The Song Dynasty is strong and assimilating foreign countries. For Zhao Yu, the reform may fail, but it is even more waiting if it is not changed. Failure, but in addition to saying these words to Wang, who else can Zhao Yu say to?

Zhao Yu summoned Wen Yanbo and Cai Xiang and said, "There are many evils in the world that must be changed." He also said, "Today's financial management is the most urgent task. Raising troops and preparing for the border, the treasury must be abundant, and ministers should pay attention to saving money." Follow Cai Xiang to calculate and summarize the current situation of the treasury and the expenditure of the imperial court as soon as possible, and at the same time, he ordered Cai Xiang to negotiate the military expenses required to send troops to Xixia,

Wang Bing returned to the royal palace and stepped up the handling of the letter from Yongzhou. Seeing that the progress of Yongzhou was in order, he was somewhat relieved. After a day or two, the family came to report that someone in Yichuan had sent a letter. His father Wang Anshi received a call from Shenzong Zhao Yu and was awarded the title of Hanlin bachelor to Beijing on the same day. This news made Wang Jun very happy. Wang An Shi returned to the capital this time. Song Shenzong summoned Wang Anshi to discuss political affairs. Wang Anshi urged Chen Fuguo to strengthen the army and put forward the idea of changing the method of financial management, which is the same as Song Shenzong's wish.

However, he didn't wait until Wang Anshi returned to the capital, and a war report was sent in front of him. Xixia would send a large army to suppress the situation. At this time, Cai Xiang and Shenzong's discussion of military expenses also had a result. Wang Bing immediately raised funds to help Shenzong send troops to Xixia, and the court summoned Yue Li as this time. The commander-in-chief of the army set out with the king,

This time, when he went to Xixia again, Wang was full of doubts and anger. He wanted to meet Li Liangzuo for a while. Can he find his son who had been lost for many years, and whether Wang Anshi, who had just returned to the court, smooth all the way on the paved road next to the king?
