    Chapter 267 Solution: Jin Si was promoted to the fifth rank commander because of his military merits. He mailed many gifts to Ouyang from Hebei East Road to express his gratitude.  There are ginseng, pearls and other items, all of which are of the highest quality.  Ouyang told Jin Niang: "Give these things to Zhang San and the others tomorrow morning." Jin Niang nodded and asked doubtfully: "Sir, why do you like to associate with such people?" "Jin Niang, Jin Si mails gifts to let others know about him.  The backer is me. How can I not accept it?" Ouyang said: "You see, Jin Si has indeed achieved many results. He captured and killed the chiefs of the eighteen tribes, which resulted in the death of many people.  Although his behavior was due to selfishness, it is undeniable that he made a contribution, which was of great benefit not only to Song Dynasty, but also to the Jurchens. " Jin Niang understood this truth, but she also raised more doubts: "My lord, I hope.  Few people will die, but why do you want to fight so hard? " "This issue is more complicated. I can only say that not only Liao and Jin, but also Mongolia will be conquered in the future." Ouyang said: "At least I will not give up attacking them just because they surrender.  "It's not whether I want to do it or not, but I must do it. Even if the emperor doesn't agree, I will find a way to change the emperor's mind." "" Ouyang said after thinking for a while.  : "So at that time, I did not agree with the emperor's increase in taxes and profits, and I wanted to ensure the quantity, quality and sustainable development of the Forbidden Army." Jin Niang took a breath: "Your Excellency, you are advocating that the Song Dynasty will continue to use troops abroad? But as the old saying goes: warlike  "You must perish." "What the ancients said may not be true." Ouyang said, "But if you don't use that expression, it would be great if the emperor could listen to me destroying Mongolia. The emperor will definitely not take action against Dali and Tubo."  What a big ambition." Because Ouyang and Jin Niang were in the same room at night, they didn't close the door.  A man entered Ouyang's room. He held a torch in his left hand and a swing cannon in his right hand and said, "Don't mess around. I have shortened the line of fire. It will explode in two counts." When he pulled up his clothes, two more were tied to his waist.  "Wan Yanlan?" Ouyang sighed: "You're not tired, come and trouble me if you have nothing to do." "Sit down." Wan Yanlan closed the door with her foot and pointed at Jin Niang. Jin Niang could only sit next to Ou Yang.  Wan Yanlan inserted the torch, then took out the rope behind her and threw it over, saying: "Tie up Ouyang." "We are not afraid of the Jurchens playing with weapons, but we are afraid of the Jurchens playing with firearms."  why?  Because all of them are suicide bombers.  Ouyang said to the hesitant Jin Niang: "Tie them up. How did you get in?" There were four government officials on duty at the door.  "Is it difficult to come in?" Wan Yanlan said: "Climb over the wall. For the sake of beauty, your men only designed the wall to be more than four feet high. Turn around and let me have a look." Ouyang turned around helplessly, and Wan Yanlan looked at Ouyang who was tied behind his back for a while.  The rope knot nodded: "Sit back." Jinniang said: "Princess Wanyan, Master Ou is just a handless person" "Haha, he has no power to tie a chicken?" Wanyan Lan said: "I won't do it again.  It's his fault." "What do you want?" Ouyang asked.  "The formula of gunpowder, the money from your bank, the secret of Song Dynasty's attack on the Jurchens, salt, gunpowder, iron, cotton I want them all." Wanyan Lan said: "However, as long as you cooperate in giving me the first three items, I will  "Let me go." "You don't know if I can tell you the gunpowder formula. As for the bank, I'll do something to make sure you can't get out. I can also make up the story about Song's attack on Jurchen."  Question: "How about you make something practical. For example, a thousand guan or something." "You think I am a beggar." "Well, I have a secret to exchange." Ouyang asked: "Do you know why the Jurchens were defeated?  So fast? There is no resistance in the south of Changbai? " "Editor, just make up, I will never believe anything you say again" Ouyang smiled bitterly: "If you don't believe it at all, then why are you blackmailing me?  There will be no benefit from killing me. You should know that the Jurchens will be better off in the future with me here, but without me, it will be hard to say." "The gunpowder formula" Wan Yanlan said unmoved.  If you give me the fake formula, I will cut off one of your arms first. "Well, one against one." "Ouyang, do you really think I'm joking?" Wan Yanlan pointed at Jin Niang: "Then I will.  Kill her first." Ouyang asked, "How do you know that one versus one is fake?" "This" Wan Yanlan was stunned.  Ouyang said: "The first process of gunpowder is grinding, and the second process is accurate formula. It must be one to one, any error will reduce the power. Why is Yangping gunpowder good? Because there is a balance, a very fine balance." Wanyan  Lanhe asked: "What is a scale?"  "Jin Niang" Jin Niang replied: "The balance is like a seesaw. If one side is heavier than the other, it will sink. If both sides are equally heavy, it will maintain balance." "By the way, this thing has been around for a long time." Ouyang  Additional explanation.  "Draw it." Jin Niang said helplessly: "I haven't seen it, I just heard adults mention it." Wan Yanlan thought about it and said: "Money" Ouyang smiled bitterly: "Sister, if you tie me up, you can't do anything. I  "You don't need tokens to withdraw money, you just use letters." "Then what are you going to do against the Jurchens?" "The answer is to eliminate the internal resistance forces in the south of Changbai Mountain and force the main force of the Jurchens to fight.  Ouyang said: "At the same time, Yue Fei will land at Bin Mansion to contain your forces. After wiping out the Nuzhen's forces, he will begin to recruit the tribes and divide your occupation area, and then go north to drive your remaining forces to the sea." "How vicious."  Said: "Well it is even more cruel. In the occupied areas, anyone who does not become Han nationality will be killed. This is the opinion of Tong Guan and Zhang Jun. They want to exterminate the Jurchen tribe. In fact, you Jurchens only have 200,000 people.  "Back then, Bai Qi killed 400,000 people in one night, so you should thank me and Huang Enhao. The emperor finally accepted my opinion." "Humph" Wan Yanlan heard the threat, and I, Ouyang, will die in your hands.  The imperial court may change its measures towards the Jurchens.  After all, the cost and effect of genocide are better than appeasement, and it can be done once and for all.  "Open that cabinet." Ouyang gestured with his head.  "Huh?" Wanyanlan moved her steps and asked, "What's in it?" "There's something you want." "Oh?" Wanyanlan thought about it for a second, and in case something changed, she walked back and picked up the torch, and then  Go to the cabinet and use your little finger to open the cabinet.  When he saw that the cabinet was empty, he turned his head in confusion, only to see a chair flying over.  Look at Ouyang's hands, there are no signs of being tied.  Wan Yanlan hurriedly rolled over to avoid the chair.  Ouyang has already arrived.  Wanyan Lan lit the hand cannon smoothly and was stunned for a moment when she saw the fire line of the hand cannon burning.  Just like that, a pair of hands stretched out, grabbed the firing line and pulled it out, and the firing line was pulled out of the hand cannon.  Then came hand-to-hand combat.  Only then did Jin Niang know why Wan Yanlan tied up Ouyang's hands. Ouyang's skills were really good. Although he couldn't master the moves, they were practical.  Wanyan Lan was soon completely subdued.  Ouyang raised his hand: "Handcuffs" "Yes" Jin Niang hurriedly opened a drawer and threw the handcuffs made of fine steel inside. Ouyang pulled and pulled Wanyanlan skillfully and copied Wanyanlan behind her back.  Then Ouyang took away the hand cannon and stood up to catch his breath: "Aren't you tired if you do it every time?" Wan Yanlan snorted and asked, "How did you loosen it?" "It's a little magic." Ouyang said:  "Actually, what tied me up was two ropes, and I held the ends of the ropes in the palm of my hand. It was just a little trick." Someone knocked on the door, and a yamen officer on duty said: "Sir, the yamen came to send a message, saying that someone came to report, see you in Yangping  Come to Wan Yanlan." "I understand." "It's okay." Ouyang said, "Go ahead and let Master Zhan come over." "What do you want?"  Yan Lan asked as soon as the government servants left.  "I don't know either." Ouyang pulled Wanyanlan to sit on a chair.  Jin Niang helped organize the scattered items.  Ouyang said with a headache: "Why do you have to fight with me? I have let you go three times, and I want to ask you, what do you want? You should know that even if you hold me hostage, you can't get out of Yangping. What do you want?  What are you doing?" "We Jurchens" "We Jurchens, you Jurchens, I am tired of hearing this. I have told the emperor that there will be no Jurchens, no Khitans, no Qiang, and no Hans. They will all be called Chinese.  With your tail raised to the sky, do you think you Jurchens are any different? Do you think you Jurchens are a God-given clan? You Jurchens were oppressed by the Liao people, so what if we Han people were almost wiped out by the Five Husbands?" Ouyang  He was very angry and said: "Your farming technology was not invented by the Han people, and gunpowder was not invented by the Han people. If you are really so amazing, don't use Han people's technology. Damn it, people who marry incest think they are so awesome." "You.  " "Isn't what I said the truth? Your capital is built in imitation of Tokyo. Jin Niang also asked me why I support the war. I tell you that I support the war because they are jealous of the rich life, but they don't want to do it themselves.  Go ahead and create. If you don¡¯t destroy you, you will be destroyed sooner or later.¡± In various countries, Xixia has gradually turned into a feudal state due to the influence of the original.?? country, while the Liao Kingdom was semi-feudal and semi-slave.  The Kingdom of Jin was half slave and half primitive.  Although there are objective reasons for not having time for construction, Ouyang clearly sees the inferiority of Jurchens plundering and occupying them.  "Sir" Zhan Ming shouted outside the door.  "Come in." Zhan Ming pushed the door and went in. He saw the chaos and Wanyan Lan who was being held captive, wiping cold sweat and asking, "Is your lord okay?" "It's okay." "Kill him to avoid future troubles." Zhan Ming said, "Even if  "Hu Wansan said it well," Ouyang said, "help me send her to Cangzhou Prison as an unregistered prisoner."  The basic prison is very interesting. It only holds defendants, witnesses and people related to the case.  The prisoners who have been sentenced are not serving their sentences in prison and are in temporary detention places.  The reason for the emergence of Cangzhou Prison has something to do with Emperor Wu of the Eastern Han Dynasty.  A Confucian scholar wrote a letter to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty about the unity of heaven and man. One of the requirements was to ask the prisoners to be executed after autumn. The reason was of course nonsense, or that the ancients could not be fully believed.  In the Song Dynasty, in addition to serious crimes such as rebellion, such as subordinates killing their bosses and slaves killing their masters.  No other capital crimes can be executed in the spring.  However, all the prisons in various places were temporary prisons, and these facilities were not fully developed, so each prison was designed to resemble the Cangzhou prison, and the executed prisoners were escorted to spend the spring in the prison.  Later, not all the prisoners in the prison were executed. Some prisoners were temporarily detained in various jails because their crimes could not be carried out. The Court of Punishment or the Dali Temple requested a retrial, or there were still those who complained of injustice and had to go through procedures before being dismissed.  Unless troops are sent to attack these places, there is no possibility of escape.  Each prison is supervised and managed by specially assigned personnel from the Ministry of Punishment. It can be said that it is the most strict place and is more systematic than several sky prisons in Tokyo.  Ouyang planned to secretly imprison Wanyanlan in such a place. Ouyang took out a stack of banknotes and handed them to Zhan Ming: "Don't miss out on food. Let her take a bath every few days. Instruct the people inside not to mess around."  Zhan Ming nodded: "I understand what you mean, eat and drink well, but you must not leave the cell even half a step." "Yes" Zhan Ming said: "I'll find a carriage and ask Zhang San to help." "Okay."  " "Kill me." Wan Yanlan gritted her teeth. She knew that in those places, the cells were made of iron and embedded in the stone walls, and the ground was covered with big blue stones.  There is only a small window at a height of four meters.  She also knew that Ouyang was definitely not a threat. With Ouyang's ability, he could easily do it, and even make herself die in prison.  "I have glory and wealth for you, but you don't cherish it yourself." Ouyang said: "Don't think that you are a princess and Ouchi will not take action. Ouchi has had murderous intentions several times. I am the one who protects you in front of the emperor. Your Majesty  For my sake, I sent a few internal guards to monitor you. Don't worry, you won't have to stay long. I'll let you out when the Jurchen is finished. Jin Niang, help her get some food and send her on her way.  "Jin Niang nodded and left.  Ouyang said: "If you need anything, just say it." "No." Wan Yanlan was very stubborn.  Zhan Ming and Zhang San arrived soon. Ouyang asked them to wait while Jin Niang¡¯s red bean porridge was cooked. After persuading Wan Yan Lan to finish it, Wan Yan Lan was taken into the carriage.  The carriage went out at night and headed towards the prison.  Wan Yanlan¡¯s matter finally came to an end.  Soon it was time for the annual business association.  Before the meeting, there was still a secret meeting between the three of them.  The focus of everyone's discussion this time is about dreams.  Ouyang said: "According to the survey, people now, especially young people, can accept such a society. The most intuitive thing is that many young people have begun to resist the marriage arrangements arranged by their families. They elope to work in some relatively developed areas in Yangping and find ways to settle down.  "Rely on your own hands to make a living." Su Qiandao: "Someone in the court has begun to pay attention to Dream Travel." "I heard that it was the Minister of Rites who first proposed it," said Zhou An, "before his daughter got married.  Elope to Yangzhou. No wonder he was angry and said that Dream Travel was a demon book. "Looking at Shopkeeper Zhou's tone, it seems that the matter has been resolved." "Well, that gentleman is now teaching at a private academy in Yangzhou.  My belly is also getting bigger. I asked the gentleman to write a letter to the minister. Seeing this, the minister could only admit it. At least he would have a good reputation, and it could be said that he was married to a matchmaker. " Su Qian nodded:  "Now is the second step, but I think the emperor has already done it for us. The economy is weak." "Don't take action for the time being and let the situation unfold on its own. There is a war now. A fire in the backyard is very troublesome." Ouyang said:  "This year's North Korean meeting held seven votes, and they did a good job." These included national issues such as whether to amnesty, border ethnic relations, Changzhou immigration, etc.  from livelyThe enthusiasm of the ministers can be seen to this extent.  Not only that, the court was also divided into several factions.  Cronies and political parties have always existed. Even Ouyang Xiu said: Villains naturally associate with villains, and gentlemen naturally make friends with gentlemen. It has nothing to do with cronies.  Now the imperial court is divided into two types.  The first is between farmers and businessmen, and the second is between radical and conservative, which is similar to the opposition between hawks and doves.  For example, the amnesty was supported by the peasant faction to increase the labor force, but the business faction opposed it for the sake of public security and stability.  Since the amnesty includes a large number of people who served in the border and Xiang army prisons and worked, the hawks represented by the Privy Council naturally disagreed, but those in the Ministry of Rites, who were very particular about Tianhe and said that too much killing would harm Tianhe, agreed.  " Zhao Yu doesn't care whether the father-in-law says the public is right or the mother-in-law says the mother-in-law is right.  But for example, on the issue of the border tribes, although I still voted, I expressed my opinion first.  In the end, because of her views, the radical faction lost the battle. Apart from some compensation measures to protect the minimum interests of businessmen, the Bian tribe made no other changes.  Despite this, Su Qian raised her biggest concern: "The emperor's prestige is too high. Not to mention the various imperial guards, even the court ministers, except for the officials at Yushitai, no one is willing to speak ill of the emperor. Otherwise,  "We have already collected all the votes for the border issue this time, so we won't end up with only three votes against maintaining the status quo, just because she expressed her views in advance." "Actually, the emperor himself is also worried about an issue, whether the descendants of the Song Dynasty will do so.  What to do if you want to be successful? But don¡¯t get me wrong. This will not change in this world.¡± Ouyang said, ¡°I think the emperor prefers what we call a constitutional monarchy.  We expect it to be bigger. But we also hope that future ministers can limit the incompetent actions of the future emperor. I suspect that it is for this reason that the emperor wants to see Meng Sheng. "Many people say that the Song Dynasty already had capitalism.  The prototype, if not for the invasion of foreign enemies.  There are also many people who believe that North Korea already has a relatively complete prototype of capitalism, if it were not for the invasion of foreign enemies.  Ouyang You thinks that the conditions for capital expansion are actually mature at present, but there are two troubles, the common people's ideas and Zhao Yu's unparalleled prestige.  Zhou An said thoughtfully: "It seems that some things can only be done by waiting for things to happen." Su Qian said: "We must not be unlucky until things happen. Especially for Meng Sheng, shopkeeper Zhou must pay close attention to it." "No problem, no.  There will be trouble at such a critical moment." Zhou An said, "Besides, it's just an unknown confidant of mine who comes forward. Even if the matter is revealed, it may not be involved."
