Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Zhao Ningyu was not surprised and kept dying: "How about producing 100 million stones a year?"

"This..." Qian Jinshu stood up in shock, looked around, and then sat down again, "Is Officer Zhao kidding me?"

Zhao Ning said, "I'm very serious."

"Do you know how many people are needed for 100 million shi?"

"5000 people?"

Qian Jinshu said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult. Salt is banned, and private individuals cannot produce it at will. Now we have crossed the line."

"I will help you deal with the affairs of the imperial court. You just arrange people to refine sea salt, how about it?"

100 stone!

Jiezhou, the largest salt pond in the Song Dynasty, produces 125 stones of salt a year.

An adult consumes 5 grams of salt a day, one catty can eat for [-] days, and four catties of salt a year.

One million shi is 100 million catties, enough to feed 1.2 million people for a year.

Even if there is a loss, it can feed 2000 million people for a year.

If a few more places for refining salt were added, it would be enough for the entire Song Dynasty to eat.

At that time, the price of salt will be directly reduced to 2 cents a catty, and we will see how Xixia will take up the move!

Qian Jinshu said: "It is not impossible to refine so much salt in a year. It is nothing more than adding people and effectively organizing the people along the coast to refine salt in the form of an assembly line. However, the amount is too large. You need to discuss it with your brother."

Zhao Ning said: "Wang Taiwei has already known about this, and this is what he meant. The imperial court will fully assist you."

Qian Jinshu said: "The imperial court is full of talents, why must we let us refine sea salt?"

"Naturally, there are other places that refine it. The two Zhejiang provinces are handed over to you. I... our Wang Taiwei is more at ease."

Qian Jinshu suddenly gave Zhao Ning a meaningful look, and said, "Officer Zhao, what is your relationship with Wang Taiwei?"

"We have some business cooperation."

"Oh, do you know Wang Taiwei's nephew?"

Zhao Ning was stunned for a moment, wondering why Qian Jinshu suddenly asked such a question: "Why do you suddenly ask such a question?"

"Wang Taiwei mentioned his nephew several times."

Now Zhao Ning became a little curious, and he said, "Oh, what did he say?"

"He said he wanted to introduce marriage to me."

"Introduce marriage?"

Qian Jinshu said, "It seems to be his nephew."

"I haven't heard Wang Taiwei mention this matter!" Zhao Ning became puzzled.

"Later he said that his nephew had a bad temper, so don't hurt me." Qian Jinshu said, "What kind of person is Wang Taiwei's nephew?"

Zhao Ning cursed inwardly: Damn it!I knew that Fatty Wang had no good words behind his back!

"Oh, I know a thing or two about his nephew. He is not bad. Apart from being handsome, he is also a relatively talented person. The disadvantage is that he is too upright and treats others kindly."

Qian Jinshu chuckled: "Officer Zhao, what you said is really interesting."

"Is that 100 million stone sea salt okay?"

"I'll try it. If enough people are invested, there should be no problem."

"This matter is related to the battle between Song and Xia. The imperial court attaches great importance to it, and I asked Miss Qian to help me a lot."

Zhao Ning picked up a piece of roasted roe deer meat and ate it. After eating, he couldn't help but nodded: "This sea salt is not bad, but Miss Qian is reliable in her work, so I feel at ease."

While the two were chatting, a voice suddenly came: "Jinshu."

Qian Jinshu turned around, and several young people walked over.

The leading man is about 20 years old, wearing a blue long gown, this kind of fabric is expensive, at least 20 copper coins for a shirt.

What is the concept of 20 copper coins?

In the era of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, the salary of an imperial guard was about 500 coins a month, and the annual salary was 6 guan. The total salary of more than three years was enough to barely buy one.

This man has fair skin and a handsome face. He wears beautiful jade around his waist, and his body exudes elegant fragrance.

Qian Jinshu said, "Zhang Yanei."

Zhang Wencai made a bow and said, "Why is Jinshu here instead of accompanying Mr. Li?"

Qian Jinshu said: "I have something to discuss with a good friend."

Only then did Zhang Wencai shift his gaze: "Who is this?"

Qian Jinshu said, "This is Officer Zhao."

"Officer Zhao."

Zhao Ning nodded in return.

Qian Jinshu said: "Zhang Yanei's father is Wai Lang, a member of the Privy Council's Hexi Chamber, and his uncle is the envoy of Fu Yanlu."

When Qian Jinshu said this, she seemed to be reminding Zhao Ning not to have conflicts with this person. This person's background is not simple. Even if you know Wang Taiwei, don't offend people with backgrounds in the court at will.

Zhao Ning was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the young man in front of him was actually the nephew of Zhang Shen, the envoy of Jinglue of Fuyan Road.

Qian Jinshu said again: "Zhang Yanei is a well-known talent in the capital, and he speaks well."

"My father and uncle often taught me not to show off outside."

Chapter 326: Zhao Ning, an expert copyist? (third change)

Even though he said that, there was an indescribable pride and pride on his face.

Zhao Ning said with a smile: "I have admired you for a long time."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Ning took Qian Jinshu's hand and said, "Zhang Yanei, Miss Qian and I still have important matters to discuss, forgive me."

After being held by Zhao Ning, Qian Jinshu's face turned red again, as if a deer was bumping into her heart.

Seeing that the two were holding hands and were about to leave, the man next to Zhang Wencai said, "Officer Zhao, you are trying to rob women from our Zhang Yamen. We all know that Zhang Wencai loves Jinshu."

Zhao Ning is a little annoyed, why every time I come to Qian Jinshu's place, there are a group of people making troubles with the excuse of "robbing women"?

"Zhou Shu, this is going too far." Zhang Wencai said calmly, "Everyone has a love for beauty, but beauties love talents, not upstarts with a bit of money, am I right? Officer Zhao."

"you're right."

"Most of the people who came to Qian's house today are talented people who can write lyrics, and Mr. Li is here. May I ask Guanren Zhao if he can write a poem for everyone to cheer up?"

Zhou Shu said with a smile, he just wanted to embarrass Zhao Ning on purpose.

Everyone knows that Lay Yi An is extremely picky about words.

Letting this officer Zhao compose a lyric here would definitely embarrass him and embarrass him in public.

The Song Dynasty was a dynasty that respected writing.

Let’s say the number one foodie in the Song Dynasty... Oh, no, it should be Su Shi, the number one writer in the Song Dynasty. How high is his status?

He may have had some troubles in his political career, but the number of his fans in Song Dynasty lined up from Tokyo to Xijing, then from Xijing to Beijing, and finally to Nanjing.

When Song Shenzong wanted to kill him with the "Wutai Poetry Case", countless people came out to intercede, even the Queen Mother came out to intercede.

After that, Su Shi started his journey to the Song Dynasty, eating wherever he was demoted.

Mainly when the past was demoted, local officials and scholars went out of the city to meet idols.

In the seventh year of Xuanhe, the Jin army went south, what excuse did they find?

What they were looking for was an excuse to rehabilitate Su Shi and Huang Tingjian.

Because Song Huizong Zhao Ji ascended the throne and appointed Cai Jing, Cai Jing made a "Yuanyou Party Members Monument" in order to fight against the old school, engraved the names of Su Xun, Su Shi, Huang Tingjian and others on it, and declared to the world that they were traitors.

This was very bad in ancient times.

The Jin army went south to find such an excuse, in fact, it also had the purpose of buying northern scholar-bureaucrats.

But it is also enough to prove Su Shi's status in the hearts of literati in the Song Dynasty.

Even in the past two years, Zhao Ning has promoted the status of warriors, but he has not belittled the status of literati.

A country cannot live without warriors, but it absolutely cannot live without literati.

The Wenzhi of the Song Dynasty was still prosperous.

Zhao Ning turned around, glanced at Zhou Shu, Zhang Wencai and others, smiled and shook his head.

Zhou Shu immediately said: "What does Officer Zhao mean by shaking his head? Could it be that he looks down on everyone present?"

Zhao Ning didn't speak, Qian Jinshu hurriedly came out to smooth things over and said, "Officer Zhao and I still have something to talk about, so I don't want to disturb you."

The eyes of the people around have been attracted.

Zhou Shu continued: "Officer Zhao, Layman Yi'an is here today. Could it be that you look down on Layman Yi'an?"

He deliberately spoke in a good voice so that Li Qingzhao, who was addicted to beating horses, could hear him.

Sure enough, Li Qingzhao's expression did not change, but his ears were pricked up.

Li Qingzhao is very sensitive to writing lyrics, drinking, and beating horses.

The eyes of the people at the table who were preparing for the next game also shifted to this side.

Seeing that Zhao Ning was still silent, Zhou Shu continued, "Could it be that Officer Zhao can't compose lyrics?"

Zhao Ning said: "I know a little about writing lyrics, but I really don't have time today, so I won't accompany you."

Zhang Wencai said: "Officer Zhao, you can write a poem to cheer us up, for Layman Yi'an's sake."

At this time, a voice floated over: "You want to make him look ugly by writing lyrics, so why are you using my name to put pressure on him? Is this what a man does?"

Everyone looked around and saw that Li Qingzhao was still sitting at the table, even looking at the chessboard on the table, as if he was still thinking about the next step.

But the words just now were clearly spoken by her.

There was a bit of sarcasm on her face, and she was obviously disgusted with Zhang Wencai's style.

Everyone's eyes fell on Li Qingzhao, and they were not surprised by what Li Qingzhao said.

Zhang Wencai was considered the oldest, and Li Qingzhao turned on everyone and turned the Song Dynasty literary world all over again.

Zhang Wen was a little embarrassed.

Zhao Ning smiled and said, "Okay, it's rare for you to be happy tonight, so I will compose a few poems casually."

Seeing that Officer Zhao was about to compose a lyrics, everyone immediately stopped grilling and stopped playing cuju. Some people even came over with wine jugs, ready to watch with great interest.

Qian Jinshu whispered in Zhao Ning's ear, "Officer Zhao, don't force yourself. Layman Yi An is here. If your lyrics don't suit her, she might..."

"It's okay."

Zhao Ning stood there and ordered people to bring pens and ink to record.

"I have little talent and learning, and I'm showing my ugliness."

Just listen to him start to say:

"The sad things of the Southern Dynasties through the ages are still singing about flowers in the backyard."

As soon as his first sentence came out, everyone was shocked.

"In the old days, Wang Xie, the swallow in front of the hall, who's flying to?"

"Suddenly a dream, fairy muscles are better than snow, and crows are piled up on the temples."

"Jiangzhou Sima, whose blue shirt is wet with tears, is the same end of the world."

When he finished singing, some people had opened their mouths wide and looked at this official Zhao in shock.

Zhao Ning said in his heart: Then Wu Ji was also a famous figure in the literary world at the turn of the Song Dynasty, and his words and paintings were first-rate.

This poem was originally written by Wu Ji for the palace servants who were captured in Jingkang's disgrace and was taken to the Kingdom of Jin.

In fact, the irony is that Song Ting also expressed his sympathy for the people living in the palace of the Kingdom of Jin, as well as his own destiny.

That Wu Ji went to the Kingdom of Jin in the first year of Jingkang. Because of his excellent knowledge, he was detained by the Jin people and has not returned yet.

In this world, Zhao Ning has changed Jingkang's shame, he will never see the palace servants who were captured, but at this moment, Wu Ji should miss his homeland in the north.

Zhao Ning took out this poem, more or less mocking the young people present.
