Chapter 93
Zhang Dun started spraying wildly.

Han Zhongyan's face was covered with sweat and he was ashamed.

Because every sentence of Zhang Dun makes sense.

Zhang Dun took out two drafts of the memorial he had written: "It is up to you to initiate the impeachment of Zeng Bu. When the time comes, I will notify you. You don't need to worry about the rest. As for the memorial accusing the clan of amassing private wealth and raising private soldiers, , you can hand it over at the next court meeting, and you don’t have to worry about the rest. If you handle these two things well, I will treat you as your friend, and you can rest assured to be a good person and a good official."

Han Zhongyan hesitated.

Zhang Dun angrily scolded: "Pedant, what will happen to those who cede territory and seek peace throughout the dynasties? Your book has been read in vain."

"Okay, I'll hand it over." Han Zhongyan asked Zhang Dun to yell, feeling a little guilty.

The abandonment of Shanzhou and Hehuang was actually secretly instructed by the Queen Mother, and was supported by many people in the old Fa lineage.

Because of war weariness.

More civil servants consider it wise not to talk about war.

Zhang Dun winked at Liang Xin, who stood up and left quietly, followed by Fan Chunli.

Han Zhongyan is indeed weak in character, but he is really a good person.

Next, Zhang Dun will play the red face, and Fan Chunli will play the bad face. As long as Han Zhongyan joins the game, it won't take long before there will be one more person in Dongkua Hospital.

In Fan Chunli's view, the new law is essentially correct, but there are problems with its implementation.

As for the old method, it was also true that messing around would only make the Song Dynasty weaker.

At present, the national treasury has an annual income of 6000 million yuan, but it is left with an empty treasury and no money to use.

Fan Chunli supports the idea of ​​dealing with those people who rely on connections to become officials first.

This alone saves more than 2000 million yuan in salary expenditure per person.

Then there is the suppression of the clan's expenditure. On the surface, the clan earns several million guan a year, but in fact, they can make more than 5000 million guan.The last thing is military expenditure, and all the rest of the money is used for military expenditure.

He agreed with Liang Xin's method.

Take the Western Army as a pilot project. If it goes well, the Western Army will not only no longer have to draw military expenses from the treasury, but can also earn some money for the treasury from the caravans protected by the Western Army.

Liang Xin left the side hall and returned to the main courtyard.

Return to Cao Tan's house.

A woman in very shabby clothes was kneeling on the ground handing Cao Tan a teacup.

Liang Xinxin said, the new maid?

But our family is not so poor that we don’t give people good clothes first.

Soon, the poorly dressed woman completed the complicated etiquette. Two palace maids came over and bowed to Liang Xin, then took her with them and left.

Only then did Liang Xin notice that the woman's foot was only covered with a layer of rags, and she didn't even wear shoes.

eccentric.

After the woman left, Cao Tan said: "Husband, this woman's family originally owned a cloth shop. When Jingyu took people to raid the shop, I heard that she went to the Yamen several times to complain."

Liang Xin: "Were you forced into desperation by the monopoly of the clan's cloth shops?"

Cao Tan shook his head.

Liang Xin: "Poor management?"

Cao Tan said: "If you want to rob the family property, you will use any means to destroy the family."

Liang Xin didn't answer. There were too many poor people in the world, and it wasn't just one family that needed to be changed.

Cao Tan added: "Jingyu told him that someone is taking in an adopted daughter. If she is willing, the family feud will be avenged."

"Who? Could it be..." Liang Xin reacted.

Cao Tan smiled: "Of course it is Eunuch Zhao. Eunuch Zhao is very happy about this, because this woman is also surnamed Zhao, and she is from the same hometown as Eunuch Zhao, and even has the same ancestor. I changed her name to Bijun. Now we have asked the palace officials to send her to Eunuch Zhao's house. Unless our family is stingy, it would be inappropriate for her to have any more stitches on her body now."

Liang Xin: "I feel like this is weird."

Cao Tan was very indifferent: "It's nothing strange. When she goes to Eunuch Zhao's place, she will recognize her father according to the prayers. Then Eunuch Zhao will naturally dress up with all his heart, and then Kaifeng Mansion will change the Gengtie, and she will be sent back to our house in a month." Still the same. thing.

Liang Xin remembered that she had previously said that the teaching workshop would select people, but she had been putting off doing so.

After the wedding.

According to the rules, it is impossible to take a concubine at this time.

Who would have thought that Cao Tan had already chosen the people and the days were over.

That's it?

Obviously Liang Xin thought simply.

Cao Tan took out an almanac and said to Liang Xin: "There will be a small banquet at home tomorrow afternoon, and you can go to Yiyuan for supper in the evening."

"Yi Garden?" Liang Xin had never heard of this place.

Cao Tan said: "She named the garden in Qingzhao Yiyuan."

Liang Xin thought for a while: "Speaking of which, she is as poor as a ghost, so she just took over a piece of my house and put up her... sign... on it!"

Seeing Liang Xin like this, Cao Tan smiled happily.

Obviously, Liang Xin didn't react just now, but she will figure it out now.

Although she reacted, Liang Xin was still hesitant.

In fact, he had been avoiding Li Qingzhao these days, not because of Cao Tan, but because Li Qingzhao wanted to settle the share of writing the book with him.At least it's a share of the polishing fee.

If it was just a matter of sharing the money, it would be fine if Liang Xin gave the money directly.

What Li Qingzhao wants is copyright!
Liang Xin was a little unwilling to accept this.

Therefore, Liang Xin said to Cao Tan:
"Can this last for a few days?"

Cao Tan didn't understand: "Why?"

Liang Xin replied: "I only have a buckwheat pillow in your room. I can't carry the pillow over there, it's too ugly."

Cao Tan's face turned dark: "Get out, I don't want to talk to you tonight."

They really drove Liang Xin out. Liang Xin was driven out with her front legs, and Wang Jingyu chased after her with her back legs holding Liang Xin's pillow.

"Mr. Xin, Mr. Xin, I'll prepare two side dishes for supper, as well as your favorite wine from Tiexuelou."

"Yes." Liang Xin responded and walked towards the palace city.

Calculating the time, Zhao Ji should wake up at Shen Shizheng in the afternoon, around four o'clock.

Liang Xin first went to the imperial kitchen and checked the food prepared for Zhao Ji after he woke up. Today he ate more soup and added a lot of tonics.

Liang Xin was also worried about Zhao Ji who was so quick to drink. She drank it all at once.

Then, the dining room.

Zhao Ji was not particular about the way he ate, and did not require a certain number of dishes for each meal.

When the dishes were put on the table, Zhao Ji came in yawning and waved his hand to signal the young eunuchs to get out.

Liang Xin served Zhao Ji a bowl of porridge. Zhao Ji picked it up and finished the bowl: "One more bowl, what kind of porridge is this? It's delicious."

"Preserved egg and lean pork porridge."

"Not bad." Zhao Ji asked for another bowl.

Liang Xin pointed to the table: "Gastrodia and pigeon soup, using more than 30 tonics. Drinking this every day will hurt your health. It would be a pity if you miss more fun things."

"Well, I will only drink from a small jar today." Zhao Ji listened to the advice.

Liang Xin introduced the dishes on the table and said: "Your cousins ​​bullied the tenants of the clan farm a little too much. Two of them even raised some desperadoes. You see, they are beaten. Should I find someone to take the blame for, or should I blame them directly?"
