Finally, Wang Xiu was going to leave for Kaifeng to catch the exam, Zhang Qiyuan went north as early as three days ago, he left very late, and did not let people follow, and refused to be sent by his family, followed the caravan transporting sugar, and went to Kaifeng together.

It cannot be said here that this caravan is composed of some merchants in Shangshui County, delivering Shangshui's special items to Kaifeng in order to earn a huge price difference, and everyone is much safer together, and the sugar of the Wang family naturally cannot be left behind.

Last night, Wang Xiu discussed with Wang Qingjiao for half an hour, and decided to maintain part of the production of white sugar in the workshop, transfer to the manufacture of rock sugar, and secretly produce rock sugar with a large number of hoarded white sugar.

Wang Xiu took more than 10,000 catties of sugar and went to Kaifeng, both hands should be hard, fame and fortune are not wrong, when you go out, you always have to spend money.

"The big officials are really strange people, other people go to Tokyo with books, but you bring sugar, and when you go down to Kaifeng and Shangshui, you have seen a lot of people, but it is the first time I have seen a big official like this."

"My family's big officials are geniuses." Lu Yao is quite proud, the Wang family is thriving, he is also rising, and he has a lot of face in the shopkeeper circle of Shangshui.

The Wang family hired several big cars from the car dealership in Shangshui County, and the handlebar head was a middle-aged man, who was born honest, and Lu Yao also came to escort sugar.

"Brother Yao, don't brag, the cows are flying into the sky." Wang Xiu rode a jujube red Heshuo horse and laughed loudly.

Several coachmen who drove the car couldn't help laughing, and the middle-aged man also smiled: "How can Brother Yao brag, the big officials are the stars in the sky." ”

Wang Xiu was helpless for a while, Shengdou Xiaomin treated the readers, all of them were high mountains, and that respect was inferiority from the heart, and he was really a little sad. But the middle-aged Han man obviously complimented him, but he had to laugh and say: "Where am I the stars in the sky, but I am just a dust of all living beings." ”

The middle-aged man smiled innocently and said: "The little official is modest, and he will naturally be a protégé of the Son of Heaven in the future, where is there a person like us who eats foot strength." ”

Wang Xiu smiled and stopped talking, he knew that if he continued to speak, he listened to the humble words of self-indulgence, so he simply stopped talking, but turned to business, since the middle-aged man had a fate with him, he said some knowledge of transportation and taxis in the future, how much the other party can understand, what benefits can be obtained from it, it depends on the other party's creation.

It's just that he didn't expect that twenty years later, the middle-aged man who had become an old man would surprise him completely messy.

Shangshui crossed Xihua and went out of Chenzhou to enter the border of Gyeonggi, boarded the boat from Jianxiong Town, Fugou County, and went north along the Cai River, and arrived outside the Cai River Water Gate in the outer city of Kaifeng Mansion in a short time.

It is the first time for Wang Xiu to come to Tokyo, and it should be said that it is the first time to witness this legendary city, the city that never sleeps in the East!

The towering and thick blue brick city walls, and the moss-covered city walls and green stones, all exude the vicissitudes of history.

When I look at it again, the Kaifeng City that catches my eyelids is no longer solemn, but has turned into a prosperous city in Wang Xiu's eyes, shuttling through the boats in the Cai water, the endless stream of pedestrians and traders on the bluestone streets on both sides of the river, and all kinds of people, especially those who are high-nosed and deep-eyed outsiders, giving him a strong sensory impact, reminiscent of a later Internet article mentions, Tokyo has a special residential area for the Tibetan people, which shows that the title of an international metropolis is worthy of its name.

What makes him sigh the most is not these, whether it is economic prosperity or openness, it is a matter of course in his heart. As he once posted, if the Tang Empire was the pinnacle of China's heyday, then the Great Song Dynasty was the pinnacle of the pinnacle.

Give him the strongest impact on the arch bridge on the Cai River outside the city, it should be said that it is the rainbow bridge, spanning a whole river like a crescent, and there is no pier in the middle, it is completely bluestone structure, but this technology is also very advanced in the 21st century.

He got on the boat at the wharf, and the convoy went back in Jianxiong Town, and the sugar landed naturally by Lu Yao, and the local trading house generally undertook the transportation, and then hired a warehouse to seal it, and found a good price to sell it.

Since Wang Xiu is here in person, this guy is naturally borne by him, at this time, there is still more than a month before the Ministry of Rites test, and the time is completely in time, white sugar is a strange commodity, a strange commodity can live!

On the dock outside the water gate of Caihe, Wang Xiu was still in the bow of the boat, and he saw Shen Mo dressed in white, standing on the dock with a smile.

"After a few months, when I say goodbye, my brother is already the leader of Chenzhou." Wang Xiu got off the boat, and Shen Mo smiled and smiled. Although Wang Xiu's theory of mind surprised him, he never thought that he could monopolize the leader of the Chenzhou Liberation Test, and he couldn't help but be a little glad of his decision.

Wang Xiu returned the salute with a smile, and said humorously: "It's just a fluke, no, the family is difficult, and the harmful escort of white sugar to Kaifeng can subsidize one or two." ”

The corners of Shen Mo's mouth twitched when he heard this, when he first went to Shangshui, the Wang family was indeed not very good, when he left, the upward trend really surprised him, in just over a month, white sugar became a tool for Wang Xiu to collect money, which was more profitable than opening a gold mine. Well, a pound of broken sugar costs five hundred yuan in Kaifeng, and you can't buy it at will, this is not making money, it's just a robbery.

As for Wang Xiu's difficult family affairs, he was really speechless, and there was a ridicule between friends, which was a joy for him, and said with a smile: "Saying that your brother's family affairs are difficult, I see that nine out of ten people in Kaifeng City are going to live in a nursing home to drink porridge, isn't the Zhao Guan's family going to be unimpressive?" ”

Although it was a joke, it was said on the dock where people came and went, which also made Wang Xiu startled, this is to say that Zhao Guan's family, it is a big crime to put it in the Ming and Qing Dynasties! When he saw Shen Mo's relaxed face, he seemed to remember something, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "Tokyo is Tokyo, and it is not comparable to a small place in business and water." ”

is to think, the old scholar can submit a letter to Shu Shuai to rebel, Emperor Renzong laughed it, and said that the old scholar wanted to be an official, but he really gave it to a junior official. Nowadays, although the river is declining, the atmosphere has not changed much, as long as you are not spreading rebellious remarks, no one takes a civilian to speak seriously.

Shen Mo obviously understood Wang Xiu's embarrassment, laughed heartily, and said: "What's more, a few days ago, the tabloid rumors that Cai Xianggong was deposed, and the whole Kaifeng was in an uproar, and finally Cai Xianggong had to come forward to refute the rumors, it's ridiculous to think about it." ”

Wang Xiu couldn't help but feel moved, this is a real historical event, busy with livelihood in Shangshui County, where to think carefully about the historical context, it is his own negligence, since he came to Kaifeng, if he wants to integrate into the times faster, he must give full play to his strengths.

It must not be like in Shangshui, where we have to brake statically in order to accumulate, and it is time to take the initiative and seize the opportunity.

"Okay, don't think about it anymore, I'll arrange a place to stay, and set up a banquet for you in the alum building at night." Shen Mo smiled undeniably.

Wang Xiu shook his head and said with a faint smile: "The residence is a brother who doesn't work, I can live until Taixue." ”

"It's okay, it's a holy place for scholars, and there are a lot of scholars from all over the world, so I'll accompany you." Shen Mo said, looked at Lu Yao, who was directing the shipment, and said, "Let's go rest first, I'll ask someone to book a house for you." ”

"There's no need to rest, I still have to watch this white sugar go into storage." Wang Xiu refused with a smile, he and Shen Mo are friends, and there are not some things that are too pushy, but they have a distant relationship, he pushes and lets go, and he takes the appropriate benefits.

Silent smiled lightly, he could feel Wang Xiu's deep meaning, but he greatly appreciated Wang Xiu's attitude. The two have a close relationship, after all, they began to build on common interests, they have completed the exchange of interests between each other, and they have not seen each other for several months.

He applauded Wang Xiu's caution and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll let people arrange it, and it is estimated that my brother will live in it soon." ”

"I'll see you in the evening, then." Wang Xiu smiled lightly, his face was quite playful.

Shen Mo shook his head helplessly and smiled: "Okay, since you don't want me to accompany you, let you be comfortable for a day, anyway, there are still some things today, I'll do it first, and I'll send someone to invite you in the evening." ”

After going silently and freely, Lu Yao leaned over to Wang Xiu's side and said very respectfully: "Little official, you better go and rest first, and I will take care of the trivial matters." ”

Wang Xiu rolled her eyes and pouted: "Forget it, let's talk about the price quickly, enter the warehouse first, and look for a good buyer." ”

Tokyo Kaifeng Prefecture has the most complete industry system in the world, and the business competition is also fierce, that is, outside the water gate of the Cai River, there are more than ten moving operations, and there are more large and small storage banks, they form an intertwined commercial network with the shipping industry, and the goods entering and exiting through the Cai River waterway.

There are rules in the industry, but there is also competition, reasonable competition, the guild will not interfere, you are one step slower than people, you will lose this business. Therefore, from the landing to the storage and sealing of this batch of sugar, there is no need for Wang Xiu to ask about things, everything is in order, as for stealing? It may happen, but the probability is extremely small, in the fierce competition, no one dares to joke about the rice bowl, and the warehouses are all tightly guarded.

"Everything is a big buyer, why not a small official." After a few months of training, Lu Yao is quite sophisticated.

Wang Xiufeng smiled lightly, and said a little absentmindedly: "Find a place and have a cup of tea first." ”

As soon as I had a simple dinner at the dock at noon, a servant of the Shen family came over, it was the servant who followed Shen Mo in Shangshui, Wang Xiu's identity is not what it used to be, and there is a silent friendship, and the servant is quite attentive and respectful to Wang Xiu.

Carrying Wang Xiu into the city by carriage from Chenzhou Gate, passing through the North Potai Temple to the west, passing through Youshenguan and Fayun Temple in the north, and then going west by the Yunqi Bridge, it will arrive at the Guozijian and Gongyuan.

Guozijian is located in the south of Longjin Bridge outside the Suzaku Gate, across the street from Baozhen Palace, between Taixue and Gongyuan, it was first built in the time of Yizu, it is the highest administrative body of the Great Song Dynasty academics, it is divided into Taixue, Guozixue, arithmetic, etc., Taixue is the most prosperous, and it is also the most valued by scholars, and even some aristocratic scholars, they also abandon Guozixue to Taixue, just because Taixue is on the house, and the head of the Shangshe is the head of the student and the first and the first are tied, which is absolutely eye-catching.

The Guozi School is from the seventh rank and above the children of civil and military officials can be enrolled, but the children of these officials are only in name, and few people usually sit in prison to study.

The convenience of Guozijian and Gongyuan is only separated by a wall, so that the people who go to Kaogong in various military states like to take the prison house as a resting place, and then expand and repair it year by year, which is quite large-scale, and Wang Xiu lives here. xh118
