North Song

Chapter 971: There is no Sima Guang on the outside

Views:

Although Kou Ji didn't say one thing, Zhao Zhen guessed it.

That is, with the continuous migration of the population in the hinterland of the Central Plains, the fields in the hinterland of the Central Plains can be vacated.

Before the frontiers were completely occupied, the imperial court used it continuously.

Perhaps, a piece of land, after the court borrowed it, returned to the court repeatedly.

The imperial court's decree on the vast fields in the border areas is very loose. As long as the people from the hinterland of the Central Plains migrate and adapt to the local soil and climate, they are likely to stay.

After all, in the Song Dynasty, you might plant ten acres of land, but when you get to the border, you might get fifty acres or even a hundred acres of land.

The output gap is self-evident.

Most places in Dasong are cooked once a year or three times in two years.

Even if there is a difference in the border area, there is not much difference.

There are doubled farming, and there is no loss of profit.

"I have decided that the two policies will go hand in hand, and the people will choose by themselves."

"You have to set a good threshold, otherwise the land will fall into the hands of the big wealthy families."

Zhao Zhen thought about it and said: "Based on the household theory, if a household has more than five acres of land, it is not allowed to purchase land. The amount of land purchased by each household shall not exceed five acres."

Kou Ji nodded and said: "In order to avoid the wealthy families from using the household registration of the common people to seek land, corresponding laws must be enacted to stipulate that after borrowing, the land can only be attributed to the purchaser. Non-buyers who occupy the land are sentenced to purchase By.

In addition, after the settlement of the loan of the land property is completed, no trading is allowed for one year..."

Kou Ji said a lot in one breath, making sure to close all the holes that could be blocked.

This decree is a decree for the benefit of the people, not a regular decree.

Therefore, no loopholes are allowed.

After Kou Ji blocked all the holes, he said: "We can implement this policy until next year, but this year, we must let Da Song Bookstore publish the matter in newspapers and newspapers to ensure that everyone knows about it. .

In addition, the people sent by Wu Desi secretly supervised the matter, ordered local inspections, supervision, and strict supervision of the matter.

Make sure that every acre of land is in the hands of the common people, and not in the hands of the rich and powerful.

Dasong Banks must also strengthen supervision to ensure that this decree does not become a decree that harms the people.

People take loans voluntarily, and absolutely do not allow forced buying and selling.

When it comes to paying the loan every year, you must not use the force, let alone harm people's lives for the sake of collection.

If there are no natural disasters and man-made disasters, and the imperial court does not reduce taxes and loans, the extension will be extended for one year. If it cannot be replenished after one year, the land will be recovered, distributed to the border, and served for three years.

Those who are willing to serve in the army in exchange for land property shall all be registered as local soldiers and be bound by the law of war.

At the end of the service period, or if you are willing to register on the border, you can leave your military status and become a civilian, and you can be controlled by the local government. "

After hearing Kou Ji's account, Zhao Zhen beckoned to the recorder sitting in the corner of Shishi Hall.

The recorder took the booklet recording the dialogue between the two and arrived in front of Zhao Zhen.

After reading it carefully, Zhao Zhen said in a deep voice: "This matter should be called up by the head of the household department, the military department, and the chief of the Song Dynasty Bank to discuss it together.

After the negotiation is done, it will be implemented accordingly. "

Kou Ji nodded and said, "It should be so."

Such a major national policy, naturally, can only be decided after multi-party consultation.

Avoid major disclosures.

After Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji discussed the matter, Zhao Zhen left Kou Ji in the palace with great interest.

The two drank and had fun, and talked for a long time.

Kou Ji just left the palace.

As soon as he returned to the bamboo courtyard, Zhao Run, a small fortune fan, appeared beside Kou Ji.

He stared at him and said, "Sir, do you think students have the ability to open a bank?"

Kou Ji was walking into the study. Hearing Zhao Run's words, he paused and questioned: "Why did you suddenly think of opening a bank?"

Zhao Run decisively said: "Make money!"

Kou Ji looked at Zhao Run up and down, and looked at Zhao Run uncomfortable.

Zhao Run lowered his head and knocked on his whole body. He didn't think there was anything wrong, so he looked at Kou Ji suspiciously.

Kou Ji bluntly said: "The largest bank in the Song Dynasty is yours. If you open a bank to grab business with your own bank, isn't it a bit of a waste of money?"

Zhao Run curled his lips and said: "The Great Song Bank belongs to my father, not to the entire royal family. I have never made any money from the Great Song Bank from beginning to end.

So I want to make money by myself. "

Kou Ji groaned: "The money in your hand is enough for you to spend. It's not good for you to make money again. Some flies will pounce on you with a smell.

Besides, the bank is not as simple as you think.

The dilapidation of Bafang Jiaozipu has just passed.

You don't want to follow in the footsteps of all directions and lose all the money you lost, do you? "

Zhao Run hesitated thinking about the tragic situation of Bafang Jiaozipu, "With the help of Mr., the students will not be so miserable, right?"

Kou Ji said seriously: "Your status is different. Once the business fails, something happens, it will only be worse. Many caring people will use this to criticize you and ruin your reputation."

Zhao Run sighed, "The student is no longer working as a bank."

Seeing Zhao Run's look sad, Kou Ji couldn't help but said, "Do I want to do business?"

Zhao Run looked at Kou Ji and nodded fiercely.

Kou Ji asked: "Why do you like money so much?"

Zhao Run said frankly: "Students don't like money either, because they have never worried about money since they were born. Students also know that they will not worry about money in the future.

Students just like the feeling of making money.

Students doing business are like farmers growing crops.

How happy farmers are when they harvest, and how happy students are when they make money. "

Kou Ji pondered: "You don't have many friends because of your identity, so you want to borrow money to get joy?"

Zhao Run thought about it for a moment, and said, "Yes, it's not... The main reason is that students have nothing to do besides learning things, so they want to make money and play."

Kou Ji nodded and said, "Even so, then I will show you a clear path. You and Godsend are close friends, and Godsend is now in Korea, and there are many specialties in Korea.

You can get many special products from Korea through God's gift, and then sell them in Bianjing City. "

Zhao Run suspiciously said: "Handi and Liaoyang Prefecture have a border city, and there are merchants who have been traveling between the border city and Bianjing city, so there are already four shops in Bianjing city selling Korean products.

Will students suffer a bit when they enter the venue? "

Kou Ji smiled and said, "You take things from the godsend, and you take good things. The price can be higher, and only rare items are sold, not unusual items.

In this way, you can naturally stand out from the other four.

For example, the Xia Shang Road opens today, and there are countless merchants entering and leaving Bianjing City every day.

Rich people abound, as long as your things are good, you don't have to worry about selling them. "

Zhao Run thought about it carefully, and said with a smile: "Students will write to Godsend when they turn around, and discuss the matter with Godsend."

Kou Ji smiled and nodded, "Go and play."

Zhao Run promised with a brilliant smile, and rushed out of the bamboo courtyard frantically.

Just halfway through, I suddenly heard Kou Ji's voice ringing behind him.

"Stop me!"

Zhao Run took a meal and turned around and gave Kou Ji a bright smile.

Kou Ji glared at Zhao Run, "I haven't checked your schoolwork yet, so I want to run?"

Zhao Run smiled dryly: "You let me play..."

"Humph… "

Kou Ji snorted, beckoned to Zhao Run, and took Zhao Run to the study.

Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong are now studying in Wenchang Academy, so Kou Hui, Su Jingxian, Su Shi, and Di Yong are the only ones in the study.

Kou Hui was the one who couldn't sit still, making various troubles in the study.

Su Jingxian cleverly led the two little guys, Su Shi and Di Yong, to read aside.

Although they were all under Kou Ji's school, it was Su Jingxian who really taught Su Shi and Di Yong's literacy.

Kou Ji at best taught them some arithmetic, and told them some miscellaneous studies through storytelling.

Because the three little guys are too young to learn too deep knowledge, Kou Ji will not teach them any profound knowledge.

For example, Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong are now competing with Western literature and the other with Western philosophy and astronomy.

There are also some knowledge that Kou Ji brought over from later generations.

Because they were born in the Central Plains, they were born hostile to Western culture.

So when you watch Western cultural books, you always have to compete with them.

If the Central Plains culture defeats the Western culture, they will contempt it. If the Western culture defeats the Central Plains culture, they will study it carefully and then look for ancient books to see if the sages have studied the same culture. , And record it.

Kou Ji liked the records of Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong very much.

Because the records of the two of them are equivalent to completely Sinicizing Western culture, which will be of great help to the spread of these cultures in the future.

For the same reasoning in China and the West, it can be explained by sages.

It can also be regarded as finding a foothold for many things in Western culture, making them easier to spread and easier for the people of the Song Dynasty to accept.

Of course, whether it is literature or philosophy, it is not too difficult for them.

After all, literature and philosophy are compulsory courses for them since childhood.

The two of them are the best among them, and naturally they can easily understand and discern the truth.

What really embarrassed the two of them was Western astronomy and Kou Ji's "Nature" that was thrown out in the name of Western culture.

Although there is also an understanding of nature in Western culture, it is somewhat simple compared to the nature given by Kou Ji.

What Kou Ji gave is natural and more comprehensive.

Whether it is astronomy or "Nature", many things in it run counter to the Central Plains culture.

When the two first came into contact with astronomy and "Nature", they determined some of them as fallacies.

After careful argumentation, it is confirmed that the truth inside is the truth.

There will be endless storms in my mind.

Much of the knowledge they have learned will be overthrown, and many of the truths they believe will collapse.

Two hurricanes will collide wildly in my mind, and the pain can be imagined.

After all, Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong are both old, and some thoughts have taken shape, and their sudden overthrow will plunge them into many doubts.

such as…

"The Tianyuan place is fake?"

"That's what it says in the book."

"The ancestor's supremacy is really wrong?"

"I don't know, I can't prove it. The book given by the husband mentioned that you can go to the beach to watch the sails coming from a distance, and confirm that the ground under our feet is round.

"Why isn't the sea round?"

"Have you ever seen an arch of water lying on the ground?"

"I was confused..."

"I'm more confused..."

"If the ground under our feet is round, why didn't we fall?"

"It is mentioned in the book... that the ground under our feet has suction, and everything is adsorbed on the ground."

"Why..."

"If there is no suction power, why don't everything fly in the sky, but fall to the ground instead?"

"bird… "

"Birds are birds, birds have wings. Have you ever read the book your husband gave you?"

"Don't dare to see..."

"Why?"

"There is a ghost in it. Once you read it, you will be pulled into the book by the ghost and never come out again."

"Then why are you asking me?"

"Curious..."

"..."

On the viewing balcony of the Wenchang Academy, Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong were sitting side by side, with their legs hanging in the air, their eyes were filled with confusion, and they said nothing.

Many people who passed by them thought they were stupid.

In the past, I was full of spirits and angered all the two talents of the same year in Wenchang Academy. Now, every time they appear, they either go forward with their red eyes and sullen their heads, or talk to themselves, or talk to themselves, or they just look forward with no thoughts in their eyes. Up to the sky.

They used to be surrounded by many true and false friends, but now they have disappeared.

Only the two of them stayed together.

A young man dressed in white appeared behind the two with a brisk step holding a folding fan in his hand.

"Brother Wang... Brother Zeng..."

Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong returned to their senses and looked back at the young man behind them.

Zeng Gong curled his mouth and said, "When others see us, they all hide, why are you still leaning against us?"

The boy was not polite, and walked over to Zeng Gong and sat down and said with a smile: "I am more curious about your research knowledge."

Wang Anshi frowned slightly when he saw the boy sitting on Zeng Gong's side.

Wang Anshi knew in his heart that the reason why the boy avoided him was because of his smell.

He is free and easy, undressed, and does not wash frequently, so he often has a faint smell on his body. Others mistakenly think that he has skin diseases, so he is not liked.

Some wild histories even actually regard his shamelessness, infrequent washing, and his dirty body as records of skin diseases.

After apprentice Kou Ji, he took a shower diligently, and matched it with a sachet, it didn't taste much.

But in the past few days, research and learning have become maddening and I haven't paid much attention to it, so the taste has come up.

But the young man's nose is sensitive, so he deliberately avoids himself.

Wang Anshi said lightly, "We didn't study any knowledge... and there is no knowledge to study..."

The young man smiled heartily, "Brother Wang said and laughed. Others said that Brother Wang and Brother Zeng had fallen into a madness. But the younger brother knew that the two brothers were studying advanced knowledge.

The younger brother has also fallen into this situation.

So I can understand. "

Wang Anshi looked up at the sky, but didn't mean to pay attention to him.

Instead, Zeng Gong asked the young humanity: "Do you know why everything does not fly to the sky, but runs to the ground? Is there a rope on the ground to tie everything up."

The young man was taken aback and fell into deep thought.

After a short while, the young man smiled and said, "Birds are flying in the sky."

"But it will land after all. So everything will eventually fall on the ground. But there is no rope on the ground to comfort them, why are they not floating in the air, but falling on the ground?"

Zeng Gong raised the question again.

The young man pondered for a moment, and said bluntly: "Because of the weight, it will fall down."

Zeng Gong asked again, "So everything is because the sky is high and the earth is low, so it keeps falling on the ground?"

The young man nodded without hesitation.

Zeng Gong asked again, "What if the land is round?"

The young man laughed and said, "How can the ground be round?"

Zeng Gong gave an example: "Eastern Han Zhang Heng's "Annotation to Armillary Sphere" and "Lun Heng Shuo Ri Pian" written by King Chong of the Eastern Han Dynasty say that the ground is round, and "Zhou Tie Suan Jing" and "Kai Yuan Zhan Jing" are both side-faced. The argument ground is round."

Upon hearing this, the young man was not eager to explain the matter, but questioned: "Brother Zeng is studying astronomy and geography recently?"

Zeng Gong pursed his mouth and said faintly: "That's it..."

The young man nodded his head and continued to ask: "Why does Brother Zeng think that the earth is round? It is only because of the four ancient books? Or what evidence has been learned from other places, so he has this question."

As soon as Zeng Gong was about to speak, he listened to Wang Anshi's unsatisfactory words: "You only need to answer Zeng Gong's question immediately."

Zeng Gong closed his mouth and looked at the young man.

The young man pondered for a moment, and said: "The place where the sky is round is the long-lasting truth. Just a few people's doctrines are not enough to conclude the matter.

Either Zhang Heng or Wang Chong did not leave enough evidence to prove the matter.

Since there is no evidence to prove this, it is not enough to be believed. "

Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong glanced at each other, looked towards the sky together, and said nothing.

Seeing this, the young man hesitated and said, "Is it wrong that the little brother is right?"

Wang Anshi didn't want to talk.

Zeng Gong pondered over and over again, and said: "Me and Jie Fu originally thought so, but someone gave evidence."

The young man shrank his pupils and asked, "Who?"

Zeng Gong sighed and said, "A big cannibal..."

When the young man heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry, "How can you trust the words of the barbarians. Brother Wang and Brother Zeng will still be troubled about this, and they will definitely make people laugh."

Wang Anshi frowned and said, "Did Zigu just say it? Da Cannibal gave evidence."

The young man was taken aback, and said bluntly: "What is the evidence?"

Wang Anshi said coldly: "Will the water arch and flow?"

The young man shook his head, "The water flows down, unless we use human or material resources, otherwise it will only flow down."

Wang Anshi nodded his head and said: "In this way, when sailing in the calm waters, from far to near, you will see the whole ship, instead of first seeing the sails and then the hull?"

The young man was stunned.

After a long time, he hesitated and said: "My little brother has been to the beach, and the boat floating on the sea first sees the sails and then the hull."

Wang Anshi nodded again and said: "You are still honest, then tell me, if the ground is let go, why does this happen?"

The young man hesitated for a while, shook his head, and said with an embarrassed expression: "Brother Wang, Brother Zeng, I still have school work to be done, so let's leave first."

Wang Anshi shook his head and said nothing.

The young man got up and left. After walking a few steps, he paused, hesitated and gritted his teeth: "Brother Wang and Brother Zeng, before you have conclusive evidence, don't spread the matter. People scolded."

After saying this, the young man arched his hands and left in a hurry.

Wang Anshi said indifferently: "At a young age, you learn to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and it is difficult to achieve major events."

Zeng Gong smiled and said, "It's still a bit conscience, not too bad."

Wang Anshi snorted coldly: "It's not the same, don't know each other deeply."

Zeng Gong looked at Wang Anshi in amazement, "How did Jie Fu decide?"

Wang Anshi resolutely said: "If you and I are not Mr.'s students, he will never take the initiative to come up and talk to us. You know, we started a year earlier than him.

The schoolwork has surpassed him too much.

He doesn't intersect with classmates in the same discipline, but often finds you and me.

Tell me what he is for. "

Zeng Gong hesitated and said: "I heard that he is among the best in the same discipline. He is considered a rare talent. With your reputation, it is also very common for him to come and meet us."

Wang Anshi snorted and said: "Every time I see you and me, he will only be next to you, but not me."

When Zeng Gong heard the words, he was taken aback for a moment, and then slowly nodded: "In this way, he really didn't really mean to have friendship with you and me."

Speaking of this, Zeng Gong paused, staring at Wang Anshi and said, "But you should wash frequently."

Wang Anshi scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "If you are busy with learning, there is no time..."

Zeng Gong said seriously: "Mr. is a person who loves cleanliness very much. Don't make him displeased."

Wang Anshi sighed: "I see..."

After saying this, the two again studied the knowledge Kou Ji gave them.

After studying for a long time, Wang Anshi suddenly said, "By the way, I have seen that kid three or four times. I don't know what his name is?"

Zeng Gong glanced at Wang Anshi and said, "Sima Guang, whose name is Junshi. The descendants of King Simafu from Anping in the Western Jin Dynasty. His father is Simachi, a former soldier of the Ministry of War, and he is close friends with Pang Ji, who has just returned to Beijing to serve as the minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Died two years ago.

The host of Sima Guang is now with Pang Ji.

It is said that Pang Ji treats this person as a parent-child. "

Wang Anshi was taken aback, and said suspiciously: "Why are you so clear?"

Zeng Gong said indifferently: "Pang Ji has a little friendship with my dad. After returning to Beijing, he once met my dad. My dad told me."

Wang Anshi nodded and said: "So that's it..."

After saying this, Wang Anshi seemed to think of something, and stared at Zeng Gong and asked: "Pang Ji is now a heavy minister in the court, why didn't he visit his husband's house after he returned to Beijing?"

Zeng Gong said frankly: "With the current status of Mr. Pang Ji, it is impossible for Pang Ji to visit him. He is not like Su Xun. He is Mr.'s protégé who can come to the door without any scruples.

If he comes to the door rashly, he will be said to be a flattery.

You know, there are a lot of people who are jealous of Mr. Red. They dare not deal with Mr., so they will anger the people around Mr. Mr.

It's like a few days ago, when my father was sitting in the yamen, he was said to have climbed the high branches through his son. "
