The World Is Settled

One: Making Qian Gu: Zhao Pu's twelve characters are the title of the book. A glass of wine exchanged for military power, a piece of paper exchanged for land, and a life changed the world. Second, there is no sword in the court but there is a sword: the suspicions of the three prime ministers staying in office and their dismissal, Zhao Pu as the independent prime minister, the king of Jin retaining scholars, and the alliance of the Golden Chamber - the disputes in the court in the early Song Dynasty were not disputes in the palace, but between edicts, personnel and books. Third: The rich merchant general Tian Shiwu: At the end of 975, the richest businessman was a businessman who did not control soldiers or serve as officials; the generals were only transferred to fields, and the scholars were only transferred to houses. The bottom class earned hundreds of dollars - the world was settled, and money and food went to their respective places. Fourth, the rise and fall are all calculated: the Qian family survived by retreating, Shi Shouxin protected himself by greed, the Huo family ended up in the fields, the Meng family perished due to wealth, the Gao family perished through business taxes, and the Yang family died through loyalty. No one is defeated by fate, they are all settled to the end.
