On that day, there were not many people from Shicheng County who really came to the Yamen to find Zhao Yunze to handle a serious lawsuit.Although many people ran outside the public hall, most of them came to see the excitement.There are also some people who have entered the court, but the things they want to do with Zhao Yunze are all trivial things such as neighborhood disputes.However, the inner hall is relatively busy, and there is an endless stream of people looking for Sun Simiao to see a doctor.After a busy day, Zhao Yunze returned to the backyard after dispersing, and his heart was empty again.He was afraid of eating Mingyue and Caixia's cold faces again.The maid gives the master a face, which is also a miracle in this era.But then again, Mingyue Caixia dared to make face for Zhao Yunze, Zhao Yunze's usual pampering of them was one reason, and more reason was that these two maids were out of love for Zhao Yunze.If they didn't really treat Zhao Yunze as a relative, Mingyue and Caixia wouldn't care about Zhao Yunze's.Standing at the gate of his yard, Zhao Yunze hesitated again and again, and finally decided not to risk the mines.As for dinner, I went to the house to eat.After making up his mind, he turned around and walked towards Fang Zhizhi's house."
My lord, where are you going," Qin An hurriedly asked.Zhao Yunze turned his head and beckoned to Qin An with a strange expression.Qin An hurriedly walked to his side."
Qin An, you go back by yourself first.If Mingyue Caixia asks me about my whereabouts, you will tell them that I have left the yamen and am missing. ”"Ah" Qin An was at a loss.Zhao Yunze said again: "If you don't scare and scare these two girls, I will have no status in this family." ”"Oh, I see."
Qin An laughed.Immediately, he became nervous again: "My lord, you don't really want to run away from home, right?"
"You are stupid, if I really want to run away from home, I should go to the front yard" Zhao Yunze said angrily, "I'll go check how the food of the Cheng family in Fang County is." ”After speaking, Zhao Yunze walked to Fang Zhizhi's house again.Qin An looked at Zhao Yunze's back, scratched his head, and said to himself: "Rub the rice, rub the rice, and say to check other people's food." ”The house that divides the line is next door to Zhao Yunze's house, a few steps away.Fang Yizhi had just gotten off the office, and he was surprised to see Zhao Yunze coming to the door."
Brother Zhao, what is the matter with me," Fang Yu asked Zhao Yunze directly."
Haha, Brother Fang, it's okay, I can't come to your house anymore," Zhao Yunze laughed."
I thought there was something going on."
Fang Zhizhi also smiled.The two came to the living room to sit down with the guests, and the maid who was left in the room hurriedly boiled water to make tea.Tea tasting is an art, and the big families in this era cook tea and entertain guests, and the family members make tea in front of the guests.The tea set is a complete set, from tea stoves, teapots to tea bowls and saucers.Zhao Yunze glanced at the maid who was left straight, and suddenly sighed: "Brother Fang, it's still your maid who is well-behaved, unlike the two girls in my family, who kick my nose in the face at every turn." ”Fang Yi smiled straight and said: "Brother Zhao has a gentle temperament, he has no stand in front of his subordinates and subordinates, and he is well-known in Chang'an officialdom.My father often said to him, a gentleman is like a jade, and he should learn more from Brother Zhao. ”"According to Brother Fang's tutor, where can I learn from me."
Zhao Yunze smiled, waved his hand again and said, "I came to look for Brother Fang, and I do have a business matter, and I want to discuss it with Brother Fang." ”"Brother Zhao, please speak."
Fang Yizhi listened to Zhao Yunze's words and sat up straight.Zhao Yunze silently sorted out his thoughts and said: "Today, a certain office opened a matter and encountered a difficult matter.A farmer named Gu Fengshou in Longhuai Township said that at this time, the rural people have no surplus grain and insufficient grain seeds.Now it's time to plant, and that's a big problem. ”Fang Yi was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "Yes, if there is not enough grain, there will be fewer crops planted, and the grain harvested in autumn will inevitably be less."
The people live on food, and this is indeed a big problem.In previous years, I also heard my father talk about this kind of thing.In order to grow crops, the people had to borrow grain from the rich to grow their crops.But the interest charged by the rich is high, and the people also have suffering. ”"I don't know if Ling Zun has a solution."
Zhao Yunze asked.Fang Yizhi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "My father doesn't have a good way. ”Zhao Yunze said in his heart: Fang Xuanling should not have no way, but because the methods he came up with were all restricted by the actual conditions and difficult to operate."
Brother Fang, I came up with an idea.I just don't know if it's feasible or not. ”Zhao Yunze said.Fang Yi was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: "What is Brother Zhao's method?"
"My method is called the Qingmiao Method."
That is, in the spring ploughing season, the government lends grain to the peasants, and after the crops are harvested in the autumn, the peasants add a little interest to repay the grain.In the event of a disaster year, no interest will be charged, or the peasants will be directly exempted from the grain they should repay. ”The green seedling method is one of the important contents of Wang Anshi's reform in the Northern Song Dynasty.After Zhao Yunze heard what Gu Dayong said during the day, he immediately remembered this method.Fang Yi listened to Zhao Yunze's words, thought for a while, and said: "Brother Zhao's method sounds good, not only to solve the dilemma of farmers having no grain to plant during spring ploughing, but also to collect more grain for the government treasury to meet the needs of emergencies."
However, there doesn't seem to be much grain left in the treasury of Shicheng County, where does this lent grain come from?"
”Zhao Yunze sighed and said, "No matter how good the method is, nothing will be in vain."
At one point, I wanted to use the grain of Changping Yicang.But after asking Deng Ye, I found out that Shicheng County did not set up a Changping Yicang.Pingzhou is a state, there are only two counties, and Lulong has a Changping Yicang.But at this time, there is no food in the warehouse.After a pause, Zhao Yunze said again: "I am thinking, although Shicheng County is poor, there are always rich and large households.Can we borrow grain from these rich households in the name of the county government first, and the interest collected in the autumn will also be given to these rich households.Get through this year first.In the coming year, after our brothers have worked hard for a year, the treasury of Shicheng County should be able to fill up somewhat.Then this seedling method can also be implemented smoothly. ”"This government borrows grain from the people, I'm afraid it's not easy to do," Fang Yizhi said.Zhao Yunze said: "Brother Fang doesn't have to worry.I have experience with this.In the first year of Zhenguan, a certain person came to Hebei with Lord Wei Zheng.At that time, the Changping Yicang was set up, and the grain was not raised from the people, as long as it was cheaper for those rich households, I was not afraid that they would not comply.Maybe we'll make a lot of money. ”"Brother Zhao is going to give those rich people what advantage they can take advantage of," Fang Zhizhi asked curiously.Zhao Yunze smiled mysteriously and said, "It's time to use the five big cars of treasures I brought from Chang'an." ”:
