"Twenty-five stakes," Wang Ju was also ridiculous by the price.

What is the reason for this? It is mainly wedding. Later, weddings were mainly around the New Year. That was because there were many people working, and they went back to their hometown during the Spring Festival, so they were lively in their weddings. There are also working people now, but they are not as frequent as in later generations. However, the labor is clumsy now, so weddings are usually held in winter and spring, so that they can miss the busy farming season. This is even more so in the capital. The canal transportation of a Bian River is the heart of the country, and many people rely on it to support it.

Only when the rivers are frozen can everyone be idle, so it is convenient to organize the wedding at this time.

However, the current Song Dynasty is the same as the later A San, with more women and fewer men, so they compete to pay for their dowry, just like Qin Hui married Wang, and the Wang family took out a dowry equivalent to 200,000 yuan in finance.

The Wang family is called rich, so they are willful.

Ordinary people can only make do with it.

But there are many people who are willful. Think about it, it’s cold and it’s so comfortable to cover a few fragrant quilts on the bed in the wedding room, and two more quilts on it.

Therefore, when you buy it, you will have dozens of beds, or even hundreds of beds. The couple can't cover it. Don't they have parents, brothers and sisters, or relatives and friends? How many quilts are sold when they buy it like this? And there are news from the south that all the cotton products in the south are shipped over urgently, and there are no ones behind. The previous news just now, the price immediately rose again.

It's rising outside, and Zhao Xu is not even in the palace. Why do you sell a high price of 25 stakes, so why do you only give me six stakes?

Wang Ju stretched out his hand, showed off the jade plate ring on his finger, and asked, "Your Majesty, how much did you spend to buy this plate ring?"

But it is not a decorative object, but Wang Ju practices bows and arrows in time to prevent the bowstring from hurting his fingers. It has been a long time since he deliberately bought the jade plate ring.

Zhao Xu identified Chen Se. It was not Khotan jade, but Nanyang jade. He said, "It's about a dozen slabs."

"Your Majesty guessed it, but how much is it worth from the jade mine?"

"I don't know this anymore."

"I don't know, but I believe it will not exceed five scoops of money. I will ask again, how much does a quilt cost from the beginning to the transportation to the capital?"

Zhao Xumo calculated and replied, "It's more than two stakes."

“So expensive?”

"Water conservancy, for the people's salary, build some straw sheds for them, treat equipment, and build roads and freight costs at least two cents."

"Your Majesty, you can't calculate this. Can water conservancy, straw sheds and roads be calculated? With the road, Guangdong and Guangxi are connected to the Central Plains. Once developed, how much income will be increased to the court in the next year? Although water conservancy and straw sheds cost money, the water conservancy is still there, and the cultivated land is still there. Even if it is handed over to the people as Yongye fields in ten years, will they not pay taxes? There are also those equipment, it is very tiring to plant this kapok. Once it is handed over to the people, the people will definitely have no time to spin bullets, and most of them will be operated in the warehouse. That is long-term profit, how can it be considered as a cost?"

"Then count it like this..."

"Thus, the cost will not exceed Yishen, but why can the inner warehouse sell for six cents of money?"

Zhao Xu was speechless.

Everyone makes this bad money, how can they share with each other?

However, this conversation ended in this matter, so Wang Juyou has not made it clear yet. In fact, if you continue to talk further, Wang Ju just said that merchants made bad money. But they also made huge profits and lost money. Just like a maritime merchant. You can make a lot of money back by going to sea. However, what if something happened at sea? You lost all your money and even lost your life.

The court can induce and regulate macroeconomicly, but cannot interfere.

Zhao Xu didn't say anything more, and Wang Ju didn't say anything more.

Besides, he has not yet fully thought about it. Xining's reforms and this party struggle are too complicated.

Zhao Xu took out a memorial and said, "I have received a very interesting memorial."

Wang Ju opened it and saw that he almost fell down. Wang Shao’s three articles on the Praise of Rongxing!

If a country wants to pacify the thieves in the West, it is better to subdue Hehuang first with its might; if he wants to subdue Hehuang first with his kindness and trust, it is better to recruit the tribes along the border with me... I have helped me, and the Xia people were not allowed to connect with the Qiang, which is the best strategy for controlling the thieves.

Xixia can be taken. If you want to take Xixia, you should first restore the river and Huang, so that the Xia people will be worried about being attacked from both sides and back... For Han people, they will help them, and the Xia people will have nothing to do with each other, which is the best way to plan...

Three meanings in general.

As soon as Jiaosilu died, his brothers, uncles and nephews split up. Some leaders of major tribes each occupied the mountains and became kings, so they did not unify each other. At this time, the Song Dynasty had the conditions to unify Hehuang.

Xixia attacked Tubo for years, either attacking or winning over, while Tubo's troops were weak. If Xixia succeeded and advanced to Mintao, the Song Dynasty would be miserable. Xixia not only obtained a large number of fierce Fan and Qiang cavalry, but also caused many places with abundant water and grass, but also the war was burned to Sichuan.

The Hehuang area has a fertile land and is suitable for planting crops. Tao, He, Lan, and Shan are all Han counties, and the Han families can manage it. Once Hehuang is recovered, it will be helpful to the economy of the Song Dynasty, and the situation will reverse, jeopardizing the safety of Xixia. After all, the Hexi Corridor is very thin.

Wang Ju looked at these three stories.

Those who are happy in later generations can compare it with "Longzhong Pair", while those who are unhappy think that it ruined the overall situation of the Song Dynasty and destroyed the relationship with Tubo.

Of course, its height is definitely not as good as Longzhong. Did Liu Bei have it at that time? Is it a Xinye County?

But what did the Song Dynasty have now? It is difficult to compare the two at all.

However, it is not useless, it is too important, which is what Wang Ju will say. Wang Ju put aside his sacrificial title and said: "Last year, Han Gong wrote a letter saying that the court gave up Lanzhou in the past, thus allowing Lanzhou to be gained by Xixia, causing endless harm."

"This is the biggest mistake since the founding of the dynasty."

What they were talking about was the Tubo people from Liugu tribe, that is, the Tubo people from Lanliang.

In fact, the Han people operated here very early. Like Xihe, the Hexi Corridor was destroyed after Tubo, and the Han people became popular, but these people of all ethnic groups had a good impression of the Central Plains. Even though they were under the jurisdiction of Tubo, local tribes sent envoys to the Central Plains many times to welcome Han officials to be the leader. This habit extended to the Five Dynasties, such as Sun Chao, Li Wenqian, Wu Jixing of the Later Jin Dynasty, Wu Jixing left, and did not send Han officials to the Later Jin Dynasty, but sent Chen Yanhui to appease him. The Tubo people in the Liugu tribe were anxious. They simply robbed Chen Yanhui who was about to leave and forcibly made the governor. It would be impossible not to be my head.

During the Later Han Dynasty, there was Shen Shihou, and in the Song Dynasty, there was Ding Weiqing.

At least it proves that Zhongyuan has a certain foundation and good impression here.

Li Jiqian rebelled. Pan Luozhi, the leader of the Liugu tribe, expressed his opinion to the Song Dynasty and was willing to cooperate with the Song Dynasty to fight against Jiqian. Li Jiqian sent people to surrender, and Pan Luozhi said that he would stab one person and hold another person to obey the court order. Li Jiqian then launched an attack angrily and was shot dead by Pan Luozhi.

Li Deming succeeded to the throne, convinced the Song Dynasty, and instigated the six dragon tribes of the Dragon tribe, and used tricks to deceive the Dragon tribe of the Pan Luozhi and was killed. This cannot be blamed on the Song Dynasty. Pan Luozhi's younger brother Si Duotu quelled the rebellion and was promoted to the leader by the Liugu tribe.

He was more loyal than his brother. He sent envoys to pay a large number of war horses to the Song Dynasty every year, expressing his sincerity and respect in etiquette. Then he paid for weapons. But at that time, the Song Dynasty thought that Li Deming was a good comrade, so he ignored it, and even spent money to buy weapons, he did not provide weapons, let alone support. In the end, Liugu tribe was captured, and Si Duo was extremely disappointed with the Song Dynasty. He led the remaining troops to join Jiaosiluo.

Xixia obtained the Lanliang area, and soon obtained the Gansu Sha and Juyanhai, and the entire Hexi Corridor was captured. The wealth population immediately expanded and the foundation for establishing a country was established.

Han Qi is telling the story of Li Demingshi.

In fact, how much support was needed at that time? As long as a large number of weapons were supported in time, Li Deming could not take over the Liugu tribe. If he could not take over the Liugu tribe, he could not swallow the Hexi Corridor. Could it be that the Yinchuan Plain and Hengshan area were really invincible to compete with the entire Song Dynasty?

Wang Ju said again: "Besides, in the Qingli War, Qinzhou was always in the rear and was always calm. However, since Yu Zanghuama surrendered to Xixia, the war continued. From the Deshun army to the ancient Weicheng, it was possible to capture people without any people."

"Yes, there were tens of thousands of Shufans killed just by killing them. There were countless Shufans and Shengfans that were taken away." Zhao Xu sighed slightly.

That is, if the Western Xia obtains the Tao and Minzhou, the war will spread to northern Sichuan!

This is the key to the Pingrong Sect.

What kind of feud? No feud. Even Dong Wen married the Xixia princess for his son, and it was a big deal. Don’t say that Mu Zheng had been flirting with the Xixia people for a long time.

"But the Tubo people should not underestimate it..." Zhao Xu said worriedly.

Is that a nation that has beaten the Xixia people many times to run away, can it really be recovered?

"This person is available," Wang Ju said, pointing to the word Wang Shao.

"How is it compared to Qingzhi?"

"I don't know much, but I have a premonition that he is ten times better than me in military talent."

"This is unlikely," Zhao Xu said silly. In fact, Wang Ju is talking about the truth. If he put aside his golden finger, he might be able to beat him fifty times. To be honest, even Di Qing is much inferior to him. Or Zhang Feng can barely beat him, even Zhang Kang is inferior to him.

"What I am saying is a practical matter, but I will also say a few things. First, the country lacks good generals. The good generals I am talking about are not good generals who go to battle to kill the enemy, but the real commander. If there are good generals like Wei Qing, please treat them well."

"I know, but where is it, right?"

"I am a civil servant."

Well, you are a civil servant... Zhao Xu was speechless.

But he understood that it was a civil servant, how many people could join the army? The treatment of military generals in the Song Dynasty was so tragic. He murmured: "System..."

This is very troublesome, and if you want to correct it, it is no less than that hereditary.

"Secondly, if you get any place in Hehuang, please listen to your majesty. You can use disguised means such as trade and markets to seek profit. You can open troops to reclaim wasteland. If the foreigners in various places do not object to it, they can migrate to settle down in a moderate manner. However, you will not be subject to taxes within twenty years."

Speaking of this, Wang Ju suddenly had a cold war.

Yes, compared to Sima Guang, Wang Anshi is a little cuter. At least his heart is not that dark, and he will not hold a grudge like a stupid poisonous snake. He might suddenly bit you to death that day.

But Wang Anshi's personality is also a big problem. Even talents like Wang Shao and Xue Xiang are ruined. What kind of fierce man is this that he is willing to do?

Is it just a disagreement?

It was not until this time that Wang Ju made up his mind. After seeing Pingrong Ce, he also knew what he should do in the future. (To be continued)
