Chapter 108 Everyone's Expectations
After three months,
Zhao Hao, the king of Rong, hurried into the bedroom of the Empress Dowager Gao: "I see the Empress Dowager."
"Free gift." The Empress Dowager looked at Zhao Hao with concern: "Hao Er, what's the situation outside? Has the Ordinance Department of the Third Division really started to operate?"
"Yes, I don't know what my brother thinks. Now there are so many people in the court who oppose it. He even insists on listening to Wang Anshi's words and insists on making any changes..."
"You all go out first." Empress Dowager Gao screened back the maidservant in the palace, frowned and sighed, "Your brother is really not as calm as you. I don't think this child is so restless in his bones. How can this change be so easy? Look at Wang Anshi's new laws, each of which is aimed at local rich and court officials. These people are the basis for the court's survival. If the interests of these people are infringed, once the border is tight, the supply of the army will not be guaranteed.
"Yes, the emperor is too uncautious. Just talk about the armor protection method. Baoding practices martial arts and prepares his own equipment. If there is a natural and man-made disaster that causes famine, they will use the weapons in their hands to resist, which will bring great trouble to the court." Zhao Hao also said,
The Empress Dowager Gao said, "I'm so angry. Even the Empress Dowager complained to me that her relatives were rich and powerful and forced to pay exemptions. These are all the scourge caused by the city's law. Our relatives are not. Now we can only close the door and see no one, but this is not a way."
"Mother, you must not know that you are in the palace. The Qingmiao method is simply lending by the court. How disgraceful it is."
The empress dowager gritted her teeth and said, "The evil is all caused by Wang Anshi's evil son. By the way, has the king found it now?"
Zhao Hao shook his head: "No, I can't find this person anywhere. I heard that the Zhennan Palace has drained the water in his pool downstairs, and no one is alive or dead."
"It's strange. Could it be that Wang Anshi hid his son?"
"This definitely won't happen. His brother Wang Yuanze has a good relationship with me. He won't hide it from me, and in order to find his brother, Yuan Ze's wedding has been postponed."
Zhao Hao didn't lie, and if Wang Yuanze postponed the wedding because he didn't find Wang's side, most of the time Wang's disappearance was true. After all, Wang Yuanze could marry Pangdi as he wished, and it was also Wang's side that took a lot of effort to make a blind date.
In the Qinzheng Hall at the other end of the palace, Zhao Yu is looking at the accounts sent by Zhang Fangping, who is responsible for the expenditure of the three divisions (the chief of the three divisions, the three envoys, are called "the ministers", and their status is slightly lower than that of the political affairs).
"Your Majesty, this time the court took over the Taibao Bank, taking over a total of 30,000 cash deposits of 841 taels of silver, 26.73 million taels of loans receivable, a total of about 1,500 taels of interest payable per month, and the interest receivable of loans is 46 million taels. At present, there are no bad debts for loans."
"Well, very good, very good." When Zhao Yu said it, he felt that the word "good" was squeezed out of his teeth. Damn, this boy actually has so much more money than the royal family, and the court can't make ends meet every month. He can earn thousands of taels of silver a month with a profit margin alone.
"Zhang Jixiang, you can take care of the bank's affairs into the branch in the future. In case the king of Zhennan comes back, we will also give him an explanation."
Qin Minxue recorded Zhao Yu's words. Hearing this, he whispered, "Your Majesty, the king of Zhennan has been missing for three months. Will there have been an accident or be killed by the enemies of Xixia?"
"Oh, it's been so long." Zhao Yu seemed to have just woken up, "Well, anyway, there should be a saying. If the court hadn't taken care of him for him in the past few months, I'm afraid the people would have gone crazy. If so much money is put in the bank, in case of a mistake, it will affect the stability of my Song Dynasty."
"Your Majesty." Qin Minxue flattered and said,
Zhang Fangping said nothing to himself and inexplicably turned Taibao Bank into a court. If there was an accident, he should let his family take over. Zhao Yu seemed to see Zhang Fangping's hesitation. He smiled and said, "Besides, this court is not private. If it hadn't been for the court as a guarantee in those years, and only let him People monopolize the market to do it. It can have today's scale. The court cooperates with the king. Since the king is missing, it is normal to take over for the reputation of the court.
Qin Min didn't raise his head and took a brush to record it. Since the matter of the king, he has been looking forward to the king's appearance every day. Now he has become a Chinese scholar, and he has made a living note for the emperor, specializing in recording the emperor's words and deeds. Although this position is not a high position, he is around the emperor day and night. Get along with each other, and occasionally be able to chat with the emperor and listen to the emperor's ideas, which is an important way for Qin Minxue to rise rapidly.
Zhao Yu closed the account book: "How many people are left by Taibao Bank?"
Speaking of this question, Zhang Fangping was a little unconfident. He lowered his head and said, "The basic clerks in the bank have left, because it is said that the monthly salary remains unchanged after the court takes over, and it is only temporarily taking care of the prince. As for the senior executives... only Jia Xian is left alone."
"Forget it, you are free to come and go. Don't embarrass these people. It seems that the court is not generous enough. Let's retreat."
Zhang Fangping withdrew from the Qinzheng Hall. Zhao Yu took off the hard-winged head on his head. Yang Jian hurriedly ordered people to send frozen lychee paste. Yang Jian wiped Zhao Yu's sweat and watched Zhao Yu drink up the lychee paste. Then he said, "The emperor takes care of everything every day. Now there are still so many controversies. What innovation can Wang Anshi do? Now Wang I'm not here anymore. Why are you doing this?
Zhao Yu shook his head, and the eunuch's consciousness was not good,
Qin Minxue said, "What do you know? Only when you are wise can you innovate. This has nothing to do with whether the king is there or not."
Zhao Yu pointed to Qin Minxue: "You're right. If you don't innovate, people will look at me and wait to die."
"Then why don't you dethre Fubi? Sima Guang's opposition has also been deposed. Isn't it much simpler?"
"How can the matter of the court be so simple? If there were no Sima Guang and others, Wang Anshi would have become a story. The certainty of success this time is only 50%. Do you let the officials carry the reputation for half of the unsuccessful? With Sima Guang and others, once the situation is not good, you can let it go freely."
"The emperor is wise." This time it's Qin Minxue and Yang Jian's turn to say in unison,
Zhao Yu looked at the quil pen on the bookcase in front of him and was secretly surprised. The disappearance of the king was really complete. The secret agents sent to various countries did not get any news about the king. Now, occasionally he vaguely misses the king, whether it is a demon or a god, in short. It's going to appear again,
Outside the door of Meyer's house, there were several big cars parked. He Libo took Lu Shenyan's hand and stuffed a cloth bag into Lu Shenyan's hand. "Xiao Lu, listen to me and wait for the prince to come back."
Lu Shenyan's eyes were red: "Brother He, you just accept it. These are the prince gave you when you first returned to Liaoning. Although you said you didn't have to return the shares to the prince later, the prince said that no matter what he has done over the years, these must be saved for you."
Li Enxi wiped his tears and took Wanyan Wu Yashu to get into a carriage first. He Libowo was still hesitating. Xin Zan said, "General Wanyan is the kindness of the prince. I think you can take it. Let's go back this time. I don't know what will happen in the future. These gold and silver are convenient to prepare. In case the prince is really If you have something to find the Jurchen tribe, it's not too late to return it to the prince.
He Libo took the package, turned around and got on the horse separately. The driver drove the car to start slowly. He Libo waved to Lu Shenyan and took a look at Meyer's house and the capital behind him. He had an inexplicable colic in his heartache, "Drive." With a wave of the whip, he wiped the tears that almost rolled down with his sleeves,
Lu Shenyan looked at He Libo's back infatuatedly. This was the last group of people he sent away. Jiao Deyou returned to Zhoujiawu in Jincheng. He often sent him to Zhenrong and Yanzhou respectively. He Xingyuan took several apprentices to open a blacksmith shop in other places to start his old business. The plan was to leave Jinxiang, and there are mountains over there. And they can take care of each other. Li Jie and Tu Le stayed beside Wang Anshi. Now the original Zhennan Palace has now been renamed the Three Divisions Ordinance Department. Chen Kang has also left, lamely walking around to find the news of the king. In short, Mei Yev is such a big place. There is no male host, only two princesses, and people who can leave. After leaving, the bank was taken over by the imperial court. The royal palace could not afford to support such a large expenditure without the prince's income. In order to commemorate the prince, the emperor changed the place into the office of the new department.
The scene of sending goodbye over and over again made Lu Shenyan a little haggard. Just as he was about to close the door of the upper house, a red sedan chair stopped at the door, "You're here."
There was a horse next to the small sedan chair. Cai Jing jumped down from the horse. Lu Shenyan took Cai Jing to the inner house and asked Cai Jing to wait for him to go in and tell: "Madam, Cai Yuanchang has come to pick him up."
Xiangxiang raised the cover on his head: "Madam." Without saying anything, tears fell down,
"Let's go, at least follow Yuan Chang to have a home." Su Xiaomei said sadly,
Hu Niang took Xiangxiang out of the courtyard door and got on the sedan chair. It was silent. There were no gongs and drums. It was not that the main room was not a big deal, and this was also Su Xiaomei's idea. The family background left by Wang didn't ask questions, but there must be no past scenery. It's good for Xiangxiang to do so.
Zhou Meimei hurried into the inner house from the small courtyard next to her: "Madam, Manager Lu."
"What's the matter? Did you go to the veterinarian?" Lu Shenyan asked,
"I found it. I can't sleep overnight. I don't eat or drink for so long. I only rely on life. The veterinarian said that I can't save it. Now, I'm already dead..."
The eyes of everyone in the room are as dark as a light out. Ma Tong is human nature. Although the horse next to the king is also 20 years old, if the horse next to the king is still here, he will not walk like this.
In a corner of the backyard garden, Tong Guan dug the ground with a shovel. Sweat had soaked all his clothes. He was going to bury the Ye Yuzhao lion. At Sanchuankou, the king went to save himself alone. Now he offended the empress dowager for his own disaster. The horse can still die for the king. What else do you have? If he can do it, he digs one by one, but he secretly made a firm decision in his heart,
On the west side of Liangmen, there are three departments and regulations. In the three-story office building, officials and officials are busy in and out. Wang Anshi, who presided over the regulations department, was standing by the window and looking at the towering imperial city not far away. His wish was finally fulfilled. The content of Wanyanshu was finally adopted by the emperors of the Three Dynasties, but He has been working hard to prepare for this matter. Where he is now, the road will be longer and more difficult. He hoped that Wang would suddenly appear in front of him like he suddenly disappeared and said, "Dad, I'll come back to help you."
