The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

The First Champion Chapter 43

Gao Qiu saw that it was finally his turn to speak. He wanted to call Qu, but he didn't know what to say. Liang Shicheng hated that iron could not be made into steel, and said, "Zhuangyuan Lang is a bit exaggerated. How did our family hear that it was you who brought me?" People go to the Forbidden Army Garrison, and want to drive away the other people's Forbidden Army?"

Yang Lin sighed, and said: "This matter is not my own idea. I asked the three priests of Yanqing Temple in Bianliang. It is actually the best place to build it."

When talking about Taoist Feng Shui, Zhao Ji immediately became interested, and asked, "Oh? What's your explanation?"

Yang Lin had done his homework, and said: "The priests and ministers have repeatedly surveyed the public opinion, and came to the conclusion, 'In the northeast corner of the capital, there is a local association to survey the public opinion, but the situation is a little bit lower, if there are fewer and higher ones, the emperor's heirs will multiply." Your Majesty If it is built here, there will be many sons and daughters, many blessings and longevity, and I am willing to guarantee it with my wealth and life."

Zhao Ji couldn't help but change his expression, whether to have children or not, but it will be fulfilled in a few years, and there is no way to leave.

This Yang Lin is so determined, could it be that he really has deep attainments in Feng Shui.

Reminiscent of the palace test that day, the method of easy counting, which he is most familiar with, it seems that he is really a little bit good.

Zhao Ji worshiped Taoism, so he couldn't help but look at Yang Lin with green eyes. Yang Lin thought to himself, you can't be an emperor, you have a group of children, and you can have so many children after being captured. I still need to show you Fengshui, you Even living in a pigsty is quite viable.

Liang Shicheng had been with the emperor for a long time, and seeing Zhao Ji's reaction, he knew that something was wrong.

Chapter 56 Reopening of Sizhou Shipping Department

With an unhappy face, Zhao Ji reprimanded: "Gaoqing's family, I have repeatedly ordered to cooperate with the Longevity Camp to build the Shoushan Mountain. Why do you want to stop it?"

Gao Qiu's face turned pale with fright, all his wealth and splendor came from the emperor's favor, if he lost the emperor's favor, he would be alone in the crowd, one can imagine where the Qingliu in the court would put him.

"I was caught off guard for a while, and I didn't expect this place to be so important, so I went back to change the garrison to make way for Gen Yue Shoushan."

Liang Shicheng didn't say a word, Gao Qiu took a peek at him and found that his face was expressionless, secretly hating himself as a backer who didn't know how to speak for him at a critical moment.

Zhao Ji nodded and said with a smile: "That's great. Yang Aiqing is loyal to me, and I am very relieved. If there is any need for the construction of Genyue in the future, or if someone hinders it, you can come directly to the palace to give me a performance."

Yang Lin immediately said, "Your Majesty, to transport flowers and stones, ships and horses are needed. If you want to avoid delaying the construction period and spending money from the national treasury, I request your Majesty to transfer some of the powers of the Municipal Shipping Department to the Long Live Camp."

"No!" Liang Shicheng interjected in front of the emperor in a rare way.

Zhao Ji asked suspiciously, "Why not?"

Liang Shicheng calmed down. Just now, Yang Lin asked for the Shibo Secretary, which made him flustered. He swallowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Shibo Department is an important part of the treasury. The money is used for spending everywhere. If the Shibo Division is handed over to the Long Live Camp to provide money for Gen Yue Shoushan, I am afraid that the Khitan’s old coins, the front-line military salaries, and the salaries of hundreds of officials will not be able to make ends meet. "

Yang Lin sneered, patted his chest and said, "Eunuch Liang, there is no need to worry. If the next official is in charge of the Shipbuilding Department, the income of 40 yuan will only increase but not decrease."

Zhao Ji hesitated. Although he didn't like state affairs, he also knew how powerful Shibosi was.I also understand in my heart that this is between two courtiers, or two forces are fighting for this piece of fat.

Liang Shicheng is his confidant, and Yang Lin's deeds are also in line with his own thoughts, especially the construction of Gen Yue, which can be said to be built in his heart.

There is only one Shibo Secretary, no matter who he gives it to, the other will be chilled. When Zhao Ji hesitated, Liang Shicheng and Gao Qiu looked nervous, but Yang Lin looked calm.

Master Liang had a faint fear in his heart. Could it be that this bastard who is full of bad things has something to do?

Sure enough, before Zhao Ji could make a decision, Yang Lin clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, since Eunuch Liang is unwilling to hand over the existing Shibo Department to the minister, I have an idea."

When Zhao Ji heard this, he said happily, "Yang Qing has a lot of ideas, so let's talk about it quickly."

"At the beginning of Taizu's founding of the country, he set up shipping departments in Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Mingzhou (now Ningbo, Zhejiang), Quanzhou, and Mizhou (now Jiaozhou, Qingdao). Today, all places have been closed, and only Guangzhou remains. I don't want Guangzhou. , as long as His Majesty decrees to reopen the other four places and put them under the control of the Long Live Battalion, within a year, not only will Gen Yue not need money, but I will also add a large amount of income to His Majesty's treasury."

Liang Shicheng's complexion couldn't hold back any longer, and just as he was about to speak out, he heard the emperor's mouth open: "Okay! Let's do this, Yang Aiqing is worthy of being my number one scholar, she has the talent of a number one scholar, and she is even more talented as a prime minister."

This sentence is hot, Yang Lin is not arrogant enough to dare to continue, and said humbly: "I am still young and still need to sharpen, especially compared with Cai, I am still far behind."

After leaving the palace, Gao Qiu was still chattering behind him, but Liang Shicheng didn't listen to a word.

The Shibo Division is the source of income for their faction, guarding the vast sea, making daily progress more than fighting for money.

In this era, a total of more than 50 countries had business dealings with Song Dynasty in Guangzhou, and they secretly sold some luxury goods to foreign countries, which ensured that Liang Shicheng had enough money to support the group of people below.

In Huizong's first dynasty, whoever had the means to get money for the emperor's entertainment had supreme power.

Later, Cai Jing was able to dominate the aspect for 17 years, relying on using the Shibo department to make money, and now Yang Lin, a kid, reopened four Shibo departments with a word of lightness, making Liang Shicheng hate him to the bone.

Liang Shicheng's face turned cold, and he said coldly: "This kid, I can't keep him!"

Gao Qiu, who was muttering, was overjoyed when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "Master En, how do you plan to deal with him?"

-----

"Reopening? Reopening the Shibo Department of the four states, all under the control of the Longevity Battalion?"

Cai Jing couldn't believe it, and Yang Lin was secretly proud. I have already seen Zhao Ji's character, and his lower limit is that there is no lower limit.

"Okay, you, Wen Yuan, now you're going to be rich."

Yang Lin said with a smile: "What's the matter with Enxiang, the students are just doing things for the officials, but Jiangnan is a good place, we can't hand it over to those eunuchs from the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Cai Jing stared at him, smiled and said nothing.

Yang Lin felt terrified at the sight of this old thing, and begged for mercy: "Master En, if there is anything wrong with the students, you can just reprimand him directly. What do you think of staring at students like this?"

"Your boy is transporting Hua Shigang, and most of the power in your hands is in Jiangnan. You can let this opportunity go. I think many officials in Jiangnan will be unlucky."

Yang Lin rolled his eyes, stepped forward and said: "There are people in the hands of the benefactor, but they are promoted in the south of the Yangtze River. No matter what, they have to agree with us, so that they can work for the officials."

Cai Jing groaned, noncommittal, Yang Lin knew that this was the acquiescence, and immediately took out a resume from his sleeve: "This is a small official named Wang Chaoli who will serve as the prisoner. , have never been promoted."

Cai Jing didn't even look at it, and said, "Put it on the table."

"The student thanked the Prime Minister on his behalf."

Yang Lin put the paper on the table, just in time to see that on the table was a picture of Jiangshan Yule that Cai Jing copied a few days ago. This painting is from the Tang Dynasty, but what Cai Jing copied was a simulation picture of the founding period of the Song Dynasty.

The picture of Jiangshan Yuyue is a painting by Li Sixun of the Tang Dynasty. Yang Lin saw that Cai Jing copied a copy, so he sent someone to buy it with a lot of money.At this time, he said: "Oh! Enxiang's picture of "Jiangshan Yule" has a meaningful and magnificent artistic conception, strong brushstrokes, and majestic style. According to the students, it is not much better than the original work."

Cai Jing laughed and scolded: "It's nonsense, how dare you compete with the ancients, it's just a free time to sharpen your pen."

Yang Lin looked serious: "This is not nonsense. In the eyes of the students, Enxiang's painting is indeed far superior to the real one. Well, the student happens to have this original painting at home. If Enxiang is kind enough, I would like to exchange it for your desk." For this painting, just ask for a signature."

Rao Cai Jing couldn't help being moved, this kid is really willing to spend money, if he doesn't agree, it's only because of his brain problems.

Cai Jing clapped his hands lightly, and several maids came in and rolled up the scroll under Cai Jing's instructions.

Putting it in his arms, Yang Lin said with a smile like a treasure, "In a few days, I will ask my servants to deliver "Jiangshan Fisherman's Music" to the residence, and the students will leave first."

Chapter 57 A Scarlet Clothes Are Far Away

In Wang Chaoli's dilapidated house, a distinguished guest was welcomed, who was the eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The little official who has always been depressed, now he has become a member of the Ministry of Rites of the Great Song Dynasty, Wailang.

Looking at the newly issued scarlet official uniform, Wang Chaoli couldn't put it down, his hands were still shaking.

The lady of the Wang family was also very happy, and her eyes were about to drop. The couple sent the little servant out of the door together.
