I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 244 Loaning books, Su Liang’s way of learning!

After the meeting.

On a corridor outside Chui Gong Hall.

Ouyang Xiu walked to Su Liang with a smile on his face and walked side by side.

"Jing Ming, you said you felt homesick three days ago. Today I will help you fulfill your wish. I will return home on official business. Do you want to treat me to a drink before you leave?"

"Please, definitely please. You are a dignified Wenzong, but you are still short of wine?"

"There is no shortage of wine, but I like the wine you invited me. Do you have a plan in mind and a good plan for the money shortage?"

Su Liang gave Ouyang Xiu a roll of his eyes.

The more familiar people are, the less polite they are.

At this moment, in Su Liang's mind, Ouyang Xiu was just a literary scoundrel who cheated and cheated with alcohol.

He said angrily: "If I solve a problem that has not been solved since the middle of the Tang Dynasty until now, wouldn't I be a saint?"

At this time, Wang Anshi behind him suddenly took a few steps.

"Jing Ming, I think you and I are the only heroes in the world who have the status of saints. We must work hard!" Wang Anshi looked serious, obviously sincere.

Ouyang Xiu on the other hand was not dissatisfied with this statement. The paper cited him as indeed higher than Wang Anshi.

But when it came to the reform in the court, he had to admire Wang Anshi, whose head that was not washed for half a month was full of good strategies for governing the country.

Then, the three of them walked forward while chatting.

Su Liang gradually accepted this "good job".

It was a good thing to go back to Yangzhou, and he also wanted to take his family back there.

After all, the present is the return of wealth and wealth.

As for whether we can overcome the hard problem of "money shortage", we can only find a way through the mountains, build a bridge when encountering water, and move forward step by step.

……

At night, in the Suzhai restaurant.

Tang Ze, Tang Wanmei, and Su Liang sat around the dining table.

Beside, maid Xiao Tao was feeding Su Zimu who was sitting in a children's chair.

Su Liang suddenly said: "Zhang Yue, Mei'er, how about we go back to Yangzhou in a few days. We will celebrate the New Year in Yangzhou this year."

"what?"

Tang Ze and Tang Wanmei were both surprised and happy.

Tang Ze kept talking about his Shangwenshe, while Tang Wanmei never returned home since she came to Bianjing at the end of the fourth year of Qingli.

Immediately, Su Liang informed the two of them why they were going to Yangzhou, and told them to pack their luggage first and set off in a few days.

……

September 27th.

Zhao Zhen allocated 200,000 copper coins from the inner treasury and sent them to Yangzhou to meet the urgent need.

Simultaneously.

Zhao Zhen has given permission for Su Liang to spend the New Year in Yangzhou, but he must return to Beijing before February.

At the moment, both Zhao Zhen and the Reform Department relied heavily on Su Liang.

And Su Liang also determined the departure date.

On the first day of October, Su Liang and his family will take an official ship to Yangzhou.

Yangzhou is located on the bank of the canal.

It is very convenient to take a boat from Bianjing to the south on the Bianhe River, and it can be reached in more than ten days.

The escort this time was still more than fifty imperial guards led by Cao Hu, and in the dark, there were hundreds of spies delivering intelligence information.

Many officials were delighted when they heard that Su Liang was about to leave Beijing.

Bian Jingcheng, the Taiwanese admonishment official who had "no fault in impeachment", finally left for the time being.

The next three days.

In addition to packing his luggage, Su Liang also handed over official duties, explained some things about Baijia College, and drank farewell with Tang Jie, Bao Zheng, Ouyang Xiu and others.

……

September 30th, night falls.

In front of the residence of Zhang Fangping, the political advisor, Uncle Ji stopped the carriage.

Su Liang got off the carriage, then picked up a pole in front of the carriage, picked up the two bamboo baskets covered with velvet behind the carriage, and walked towards the door of the mansion.

As soon as Su Liang stepped forward, a guard said: "Just go and hawk, don't block the door!"

At this time, Su Liang raised his head, took out the greeting card from his arms, and said: "You two, please send a message to the censor, Su Liang, please see me." The two gatekeepers were stunned.

One of the guards looked at Su Liang in the faint moonlight and said excitedly: "He...he...is really Su Yushi. I...I...will report right away."

Immediately, the guard rushed into the courtyard with the invitation.

Obviously, he recognized Su Liang.

Another guard looked at Su Liang in surprise.

Wearing a green shirt and carrying a pole, he looked like a street vendor.

"You...you...are you really the beheaded censor Su Liang and Su Jingming?"

Su Liang nodded with a smile and said, "If it's true, these two baskets of things are gifts from me to Mr. Zhang."

The relationship between Zhang Fangping and Su Liang is considered average.

The two have no personal contact.

Not as close as Fan Zhongyan, Wen Yanbo, Wu Yu and Su Liang, but better than Song Xiang and Xia Song.

Within a moment, Zhang Fangping walked over quickly.

When he heard that Su Liang carried a pole and picked up two baskets, he ran out curiously and doubtfully.

According to Su Liang's current status and favor, it would actually be nothing if he went out to greet him.

When Su Liang saw Zhang Fangping, he smiled and said: "Prime Minister Zhang, I will leave Beijing tomorrow and will not return until the new year. I came here to wish you a happy new year. This is a New Year gift."

"Ouch, I can't do it, I can't do it!"

Zhang Fangping looked around, first asked the guards to take the pole, and then invited Su Liang into the house.

Zhang Fangping has always cherished feathers.

The Prime Minister of Zhongshu and Tai Jian should not have close contact with each other, let alone give gifts.

But Su Liang said it and did it so openly. He couldn't turn him away and quickly invited Su Liang in.

A moment later, in the living room.

Su Liang opened the velvet cloth in the bamboo basket and said, "Xiang Zhang, these are the books in my home. They are very rare. I know that Xiang Zhang loves books, so I sent them here as a New Year gift."

Inside the bamboo basket, there were two baskets of books.

These books were all abandoned by Su Liang's father-in-law, Tang Ze.

Su Liang gathered it together and sent it as a gift.

Zhang Fangping was so smart. He said directly: "Jing Ming, don't come here with these vain things. What is going on? Just tell me! I can help you if you can."

Su Liang smiled slightly and explained his purpose.

"Prime Minister Zhang, I heard that you have many books on money, grain, salt, iron, and finance and taxation hidden in your study. You also have your annotations. They are very insightful. Can you let the younger generation borrow them for a look and return them when you return to Beijing after the new year? "

In the current court, the person who knows the most about wealth is actually Zhang Fangping.

At that time, Zhang Fangping gave up his position as the Third Secretary and entered the academy because he hated being asked for money by various yamen every day.

In terms of financial management ability, he is better than Wang Yaochen.

It's just that he doesn't want to serve as the third minister again.

Su Liang knew that he had a large number of financial management books hidden in his home.

I wanted to borrow it for a look.

If you want to cure the money shortage, it is useless to resort to tricks without knowledge reserves.

However, Zhang Fangping loved books very much and would not borrow them easily.

Zhang Fangping suddenly showed a warm smile and said: "Jing Ming, you told me earlier, I will go get two copies for you right now."

Su Liang shook his head slightly.

"Xiang Zhang, last year the officials brought back two baskets of documents from Qizhou. I remember you said to Xianggong Wu that you have more financial management books at home than this. I'm afraid two books are not enough? I want to combine these two books. The basket is full!”

"That's a joke, Jing Ming, why don't you take it seriously?"

Su Liang sat down on a chair beside him and said: "Prime Minister Zhang, someone will definitely see me carrying two bamboo baskets into your house tonight. If you don't fill them for me, I will weigh them before I leave tomorrow. I gave you two large baskets of gold and silver jewelry."

"Su Liang, you are really a scoundrel. How can you, a Taiwanese admonisher, be so mean?"

Su Liang spread his hands helplessly and said: "Prime Minister Zhang, I have been forced to do nothing. How can the problem of money shortage be solved so easily? I am not a saint. I have to read more books!"

After hearing this, Zhang Fangping hesitated for a moment and said: "That's all, follow me to the study and choose for yourself!"

"Okay, thank you, Prime Minister Zhang!" Su Liang ran towards the study with Zhang Fangping on a pole.

　Thanks to the book friend for the tip of “What else can I do in the future?” Thank you very much.
