Chapter 1,432 Cai Jing’s visit

Xiaomei and Chen Zhaoming are both academic-focused people, and money is not attractive to them at all.

The younger sister has always believed that this part of the wealth should belong to her brother and not herself. Guan'er is Bian Gu's future wife, so it is the best way to return this part of the wealth in her name to her brother.

As for herself, the investment she made from the property that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager had given her over the years was already a huge amount.

This part of the original shares initially only included some assets of Meishan Fangzhiwei, Sitong Company, Xianjingjian, Bank of China, and Fushunjian. Although it has been diluted many times, the share capital of Sitong Company no longer accounts for much.

, but its asset value is also in the millions.

Of course, many of them cannot be sold, and you can only enjoy the dividends, but just this dividend can amount to hundreds of thousands of coins a year.

The proof of these things is a seal. Su You used Yazhou jasper to carve a seal for his little sister himself.

"Found it!" Bi Guan took down a box from a bookshelf. When the box was opened, inside was a brass Luban lock that looked like an octagonal ball.

There are also twenty-eight stars etched on Luban's lock. Shi Wei gets a headache just looking at it: "This is a toy that your uncle and Aunt Rong had when they were children, but only smart people can play with it. I can't open it."

Bi Guan looked at the copper ball for a while, then gently pushed it on the hornwood dragon, and the copper rod sunk into one space.

Then I tried pushing Fang Ritu again, and sure enough, Fang Ritu’s copper rod could move.

Bi Guan immediately gained confidence, and his hands moved faster and faster, and soon he unlocked the entire Luban lock, revealing something wrapped in linen, with a rough jasper seal inside.

Shi Wei was greatly surprised: "Guan'er, you are so amazing!"

Bi Guan was very excited about unlocking the toys of his master and his uncle: "It's actually not difficult. "Huainanzi Astronomical Training" divides the twenty-eight constellations into nine fields. This Luban Lock is set according to the first constellation of the nine fields. In fact, it is a step-by-step process.

Hint."

Shi Wei secretly blushed. Su You had sent this thing to her when she was a child, but she couldn't untie it and then chopped it with a sword.

Later, Brother Xiaoyou switched to using brass as the lock, which makes me really angry when I think about it.

He turned to Colander, who was rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and said, "You must study hard with Sister Bi from now on, otherwise it will be embarrassing if you can't even unlock a Luban lock. Do you understand?"

The colander turned out a revolving lantern with stars on the lampshade, and he was studying it. Hearing this, he was confused and thought, why did it involve me again?

However, under my mother's fierce gaze, she had no choice but to nod obediently: "I understand."

Bi Guan found a piece of white paper, dipped the seal in ink pad and covered it.

The seal is very thin, with seven words in total - "A daughter in the Su family is as bright as the moon."

In the ninth month, Guihai, the Lord of Liao is Ru Ousi Lake.

Yichou and Black Khan besieged Khotan, and the governor of the Western Regions Protector Chaogu sent Liu Shiheng to defeat him and capture his general Ah'er.

In winter, October, Yihai, Han Zhongyan was appointed as the minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Zhongyan came to thank you, and the emperor issued an edict: "I dare not forget the merits of Duke Xianling. Your loyalty to the court is not enough to reward you."

When Wuzi returned to the state, the Luo clan rebelled, and Xiong Benzou was sent to the imperial court to fight against it.

Guilai Prefecture is located in the Xuyong, Gulin, and Liupanshui areas of Luzhou in later generations, and the Jixi Prefectures under Qianzhou in the east, and the Shimen Fan tribe in the west where Yunnan and Guizhou intersect, and basically belongs to the last barbaric Jidi Prefecture in the Song Dynasty.

area.

To the north of Luo's family, across the Yangtze River, is the seat of the original Luzhou barbarian tribe in Fanlong Mountain, and further north is Fushunjian, an important salt-producing area in central Sichuan. Therefore, Luo's betrayal immediately aroused the reaction of the imperial court.

And Luo's target, just like the Qidilong Mountain Rebellion, was also the Tuijing Prison not far from the edge of Luzhou.

After all, it’s all about salt.

But this is obviously unreasonable. Sichuan has been banned for many years. There are more than 5,000 salt wells, and most of them are mechanized or semi-mechanized. The annual output of salt is as high as 90 million kilograms, accounting for 40% of the national output.

one part.

Now that there are more countries than Ningxia, the number has dropped to one-fifth.

However, the fact is that Luo Shi rebelled and rebelled for salt.

The area where the Luo clan was located was not far from Meishan, with only Rongzhou and Jiazhou separated in between. Cai Jing was worried about Su You's safety, so he went down the river to sit in Rongzhou, preparing to urge Xiongben to attack.

As a result, before Kumamoto's army arrived, the prefect of Yongzhou, Tang Yan, the prefect of Yizhou, Bai Min, and the Chuanxi Mahu, Shimen, and Nanguang tribes surrounded the Luo tribe at Meiling Fort in Yanzhou, a small town east of Kuijingjian.

Bai Min had a very high reputation among the southwestern barbarians. After receiving Su You's letter, he felt that the matter was too strange and went to the fort to investigate in person.

After learning the truth, Bai Min couldn't laugh or cry, because the reason why Luo Shiman rebelled was that he was tricked by a Han bandit leader.

The bandit leader was Luo Shizhong, the bandit leader who was entrenched in Jiangmen Village on the Yongning River. This boy found that there was no future for him as a bandit, so he simply dressed himself as Luo Shiman and went to Taojing to supervise the salt trade. Then he brought him back to Jiangmen Village, changed his clothes and pretended to be Taojing again.

He then sold the salt to Luo Shiman.

In the past few years, instead of being a gangster, the business has been going smoothly, which satisfied both Supervisor Tuojing and Luo Shiman. Luo Shizhong, a second-tier dealer, has become more and more prosperous.

With money in his hand, Luo Shizhong became more enthusiastic. He heard that Meishan City was extremely prosperous, so he took a few of his men with him and prepared to go to Meishan, a prosperous town, to see the scene and spend money in style.

As a result, when Su You returned to his hometown, the prefect of Meizhou naturally wanted to improve the public order and leave a good impression on the boss, so he came to crack down hard.

Luo Shizhong and his men were arrested and imprisoned because they were acting suspiciously and could not tell their origins.

The owner of the cottage was gone, the middleman was gone, and Luo Shiman was out of salt and gas. They gathered together and went down the mountain to ask for an explanation from the officials of the Song Dynasty.

The people in the Tuijing Supervisor were quite surprised. Did Luo Shi not want salt this year? Why didn't anyone come yet? As a result, a large group of people showed up, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly reported.

When receiving Bai Min's report, Cai Jing was visiting Su You at Lao Wengjing. When he told Su You about the future, Su You couldn't laugh or cry: "Why are there so many talented people among the bandits of the Song Dynasty? The bandits of Liang Shanbo led their men to cultivate fertile land and acquire land.

Hundreds of hectares; the bandits in Jiangmen Village were engaged in salt re-export trade, and they were able to satisfy both parties."

Cai Jing also found it funny: "So the Huang-Lao rule in the early Han Dynasty was sometimes justified."

Su You asked: "How to deal with this Luo Shizhong?"

Cai Jing said: "This Luo Shizhong is not registered in the Song Dynasty. He is a Han from Jidi Prefecture. The imperial court did not station troops in Jiangmen Village. This son pretended to be an official to perform management responsibilities there. He actually did his job in an orderly manner and was praised by passing merchants. In Luo's

The reputation among the barbarians is also quite high.”

"Since he has no bad record, let's just recruit him and make him a serious village commander. He will be given a salary as a right-level envoy and let him continue to manage the salt business with Luo Shiman."

Su You shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If Kumamoto's army moves, the matter will most likely not be resolved, so communication is very important."

Cai Jing also shook his head: "Yes, the Luo family appreciated Song's benevolence and was willing to return to his hometown."

"I guess I am also scared of this matter. I hope that the Song Dynasty will send an official there to get the real news if anything happens, hahaha..."

Su You smiled and said, "Is it approved by the court?"

Cai Jing nodded: "That's right, Your Majesty agrees that the Luo family will be included in the territory, Xuyong and Huairen will be established, and the three states will be divided and ruled. Count the population of the land and establish officials to govern them."

Su You breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. In this way, along the Jinsha River, Dongchuan, and Nanpan River, our territory of the Song Dynasty will be stable."

"The return of the Luo family is very attractive to the last batch of Jizhou Prefectures in the Song Dynasty led by southern Guizhou Province. You have handled this matter well."

Cai Jing said: "It's all about relieving the imperial court's worries. It's just a matter of division... Young Master Zichao, there is no news yet?"

Su You shook his head: "Not yet. According to a whaling ship, some islands were discovered in the northeast of Japan, and the landmark left by the Zuoluo was found on one of the islands. However, the wind and waves further to the northeast were too strong, and they could only

return."

After finishing speaking, he sighed: "That ship is the furthest place that the Song Dynasty's ships have traveled so far. Young people don't know how high the sky is and how high it is."

Cai Jing advised: "My lord, good people have their own destiny, so there is no need to be anxious, just wait and see."

Su You said: "Let's not talk about him. You have also read the outline of "Ethics". Do you have any suggestions?"

Cai Jing said: "The principles in the book are explained thoroughly, every word is exquisite."

"If "Principles" ultimately explains the three major propositions of 'why am I, where do I come from, and where will I go', what "Ethics" wants to solve is 'why we are, where we come from, and where we will go'.

The three major propositions of "Where to Go"."

"The gist of the Duke's book must be about Si, right?"
