The wine was very sweet, but the stamina was too great, and the three of them drank it until midnight, and the wine was too drunk to wake up. Liang Chuan was happy that the place had finally been found, and the left and right were not bad, so he drank two more glasses, while Bi Zhaosheng was a little depressed, but fortunately, he rented out the shop that he had been idle for a long time, and he could recover some losses and drink two more glasses under the sudden change of mood.

The next day, Liang Chuan had a headache, this self-brewed wine fruit was very strong, the wine was not very good because of the purification technology, the content of impurities was not blown, it was cool to drink, and the next day it really killed people. Liang Chuanqi last night, several people in the family have already done their own things, the two girls continue to do hygiene, and Zhao Xiaopin went out to prepare for work. Liang Chuan instructed Zhao Di to create a plaque, this store is going to hang a name, the same as the Fengshan main store, anyway, the signboard will be played out first, business, take your time. Besides, even if you open a business today, how many orders can you make?

Not long after Liang Chuan got up, Bi Zhaosheng still had a trace of pale on his face, and walked into the store full of alcohol, Liang Chuan was sitting on the edge of the table eating rice porridge and meat steamed buns, and when he saw Bi Zhaosheng coming, he hurriedly asked Xiao Hai to bring another bowl to eat together.

Bi Zhaosheng saw that Ye Xiaochai's appearance was extraordinary, in Liang Chuan's house, she turned out to be a girl who cooked rice and served water, Shen Yuzhen was even more immortal, and she had to add food to Liang Chuan, this person opened the door to do business and didn't see the goods and didn't shout, Bi Zhaosheng looked at this brother's shop even stranger than the Qingyuan master's mansion.

"Alas, I drank too much yesterday to make my brother laugh." Bi Zhaosheng's white face was slightly red.

"Brother came just in time, let's go to the street with me after dinner, you are familiar with the road and save me from taking the wrong road."

"Good!" Bi Zhaosheng is very refreshing, and he will not hide his emotions, and any expression of happiness and displeasure is written on that face, thinking that Liang Chuan is not bad, and he treats him as a friend, although it is only for one day, but it is very talkative.

Bi Zhaosheng is also strange to say, if you want to say that he is a reader, the ink in his chest is less than half a tael, if you want to say that he is a rough person, he can also talk nonsense to you. The Qingyuan of the Northern Song Dynasty was no worse than that of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and it was rich in things and rich in the people.

The two of them walked on the street after eating, and after a while of small talk, Liang Chuan also knew that Bi Zhao's ancestor was not a native of Qingyuan, but he had settled down for several generations, and the family business was more powerful than now, and it felt a little downhill in his generation. Even so, they are now considered the natives of Qingyuan, and they have grown up in Qingyuan since they were children, and they know where there are good things.

Bi Zhaosheng wanted to take Liang Chuan to see the difference of Qingyuan, there are pavilions and pavilions everywhere, but Qingyuan has a difference, that is, the port of Qingyuan.

Bi Zhaosheng led Liang Chuan out of the Yiquan Gate in the west, along the river along the city wall, passing through Tonghuai, Linzhang, Tongjin several gates, the Chaotian Gate in the north is still heavily guarded, but the south of these city gates are open to the wide, the river is endless, the small sampan carries all kinds of goods that are difficult to find in the Great Song Dynasty to and from the river, the small river has become a dense market, the wheelbarrow carriage and cart pull all kinds of goods, a steady stream from the river.

Liang Chuan stood on the edge of the river, a vast breath came to his face, this river is boundless, the water area is extremely wide, where is this the small river that is about to break every day in the future? The large and small ships on the river are constantly shuttling, the sails of the big ships are fierce, the figures of the small boats are crowded, each boat is carrying goods, the whole river is crowded by the large and small ships, the horns on the river break through the air, and the sailors sing, it is really a prosperous scene!

"How's that!" Bi Zhaosheng led Liang Chuan to stand side by side by the river, watching Liang Chuan look at the river scenery and be distracted, and his heart was faintly proud. At this time, Qingyuan Port faintly became the second largest port after Alexandria, and there was no place in the whole East that could be compared.

"I've thought about the scene of Qingyuan countless times in my heart, but when I saw his real appearance for the first time, I was still shocked, the largest port in the East, and it really deserves its name!"

Bi Zhaosheng stood by the river and pointed to the appearance of the rivers and mountains and said: "On the Sunjiang River, the big ships bring the specialties of all countries from the sea, and the small boats take down the goods from the big ships, as long as they are willing to spend their efforts, no one will starve to death in this land, and the people of Qingyuan rely on this mother river to make a living!" ”

Liang Chuan came back to his senses and said, "Hey, this river is called Sunjiang?" Isn't it called **? ”

Bi Zhaosheng said: "Since ancient times, this river has been called the Sunjiang River, **? I haven't heard anyone say that there is a ** name! ”

Liangchuan looks at the past towards the south of the Yangtze River, the other side of the river is a fertile plain, in memory of this is a miracle place that has created a private economy after the reform and opening up, and now the eyes can only see the tidal flats, barren mountains and weedy forests, ** has not yet appeared, let alone someone knows the name.

"I remembered it wrong." Where did Liang Chuan dare to say that he would call this river ** in the future, and Wan'andu would be called Luojiang, and they wouldn't believe it when they said it.

Bi Zhaosheng continued: "We have more than three Qingyuan! ”

Liang Chuan looked at Bi Zhaosheng with a look of invitation to start your performance and said, "Which three more?" ”

Bi Zhaosheng said: "The most common thing in Qingyuan is the thorn tree all over the city, so it is also known as the thorn city. Two more is more outsiders, and three more is more ships. ”

Liang Chuan thought deeply and said: "That's true, but the last two are easy to understand, why are there so many flowers and trees like thorn tree here?" It's not good-looking and not fragrant, and I haven't seen so many thorn trees in other places! ”

Two people walked side by side on the riverside avenue, the two rows of the avenue are full of thorn trees, and the green leaves of the thorn trees sway with the wind under the autumn wind. Bi Zhaosheng pointed to the thorn tree and said: "This kind of flower and tree is native to the South Seas, and Tianzhu is the most. These flowers and trees came with the southern sea ships, not our local flowers and trees. ”

Liang Chuan didn't expect this flower to be a poaching product: "I really don't know this." ”

"Monk Puji said that the thorn tree flower has a magical characteristic, every year is like every germination and then blooming, it means that this year is a harvest year, but if the thorn tree blooms first and then sprouts, then the year will be poor! Therefore, the thorn tung in the city is also known as Ruitong! ”

Liang Chuan only knows that this thorn tree blossoms bloom every year, and he really hasn't observed the sequence of germination and flowering, which is only afraid that in addition to the experience that the ancient people who attach importance to agriculture can sum up, others will just look at the lively chanting poems.

"This thorn has also caused a controversy!" Bi Zhaosheng deliberately hung Liang Chuan's appetite and said.

"What argument?"

"Brother Liang Chuan, have you ever heard of Lord Ding Weiding, the deputy minister of the dynasty?" Bi Zhaosheng said Kankan.

"Ding? I don't know. Liang Chuan spoke very casually, he really didn't know him, he knew several more famous people in this period, one Bao Zheng, one Di Qing, and one Fan Zhongyan, as for the others, the length of the history book is so big, how many people can go up?

If Liang Chuan knew that he would have an entanglement with this powerful minister, he would not have said it so casually. Ding Wei is known as the traitor of the Zhenzong Dynasty, but he is also a capable minister of the Zhenzong Dynasty, this person has made considerable merits in history, but he is not a person with a good evaluation!

Bi Zhaosheng was stunned for a moment, and there are probably few people on the street who don't even know Ding Wei now. Bi Zhaosheng said with a smile: "Today's holy father, Emperor Zhenzong, believes in Shinto, and likes to do things like Feng Zen Xiangrui, there were several ministers who were more outstanding in the past, and they loved to vote for the saint's favor and then be promoted to become rich, and this Prime Minister Ding is one of the best." ”

Liang Chuan seemed to have a little impression when he heard this: "I remember that in the past, Mount Tai Feng Zen was the glory of the emperor, not an emperor like Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who could not go up the mountain. It seems that there is a saint who has gone up to this dynasty. ”

Things can be eaten indiscriminately, but words can't be talked indiscriminately, *** This thing doesn't need real evidence, it only needs to chase the wind and catch the shadow to put people to death.

Liang Chuan's words did not come out, he knew that since this Song Zhenzong went to Mount Tai, this Zen has changed from a supreme glory to a bad thing that costs the people and money, and the emperors of all dynasties are proud of the Zen, since Zhao Heng, no one is proud of Mount Tai's gods, but is ashamed. It's both a drop in price and there's nothing to brag about, because they'll say, Feng Zen? Isn't that the same as Zhao Heng's child?

"Yes, that's right. That year, when Prime Minister Ding was still an envoy to Lian, he ostensibly came to Quanzhou Mansion to take a class to test for clean government, but secretly he wanted to take the opportunity to get Xiangrui's set of things back to go back to get promoted and make a fortune, and to vote for the favor of the official. After arriving in Qingyuan County, he saw that there were thorn trees attracted from the South Seas everywhere, and his subordinates told him about the characteristics of this flower. Prime Minister Ding made a sad gesture hoping to see the green leaves of the thorn tree first, meaning that the five grains of Quanzhou Mansion would be abundant, so that going back to report was a proper great achievement, and he also chanted 'I heard the villagers say that the thorn tree, and the leaf first flower is abundant. I'm here to worry about the people, and I only love Qingqing and not red. This kind of limerick is really all-encompassing. ”

"Then why is it called an argument?"

This is to the point, Bi Zhaosheng continued: "After Prime Minister Ding left, there was a new prefect Wang Shipeng in Quanzhou Mansion, and this prefect Wang Shipeng was the predecessor of the current prefect Zhao. Although the original intention was also to hope that the people would have a bumper harvest, but-for-tat, he didn't believe in Xiangrui's set, and also chanted a thorn pun chant 'When I first saw the branches were green, I suddenly frightened the fire umbrella and wanted to burn out. Flowers are ripe after the year, and people don't love red when they are not red. 'Haha, which one do you say has the best poetry?' ”

Liang Chuan looked at the green leaves and red flowers, thought for a while, and then said with a smile: "According to my understanding, I think what Prime Minister Ding said doesn't seem to be unreasonable?" ”

Bi Zhaosheng's words were all sarcastic and praised Wang Shipeng, and anyone could hear it, who knew that Liang Chuan gave him such a sentence. "Oh? How can the Liang Chuan brothers see it? ”

Liang Chuan said: "The world is full of fragrant flowers in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom, do you know why? ”

Bi Zhaosheng shook his head.

"The temperature at the bottom of the mountain is high, so the peach blossoms have long been in full bloom, but the temperature on the mountain is not until April, so the peach blossoms at the foot of the mountain are not blooming until the peach blossoms on the mountain."

Bi Zhaosheng listened confusedly, what does this have to do with the thorn tree?

Liang Chuan said: "Similarly, the early bloom of Qingyuan's tung blossoms indicates that the temperature of the year is higher than in previous years, and a high temperature is conducive to the growth of crops, so it is not unreasonable for farmers to have a bumper harvest this year!" ”

Bi Zhaosheng thought that Liang Chuan was a rough man, with well-developed limbs and a simple mind, and he couldn't escape the problem of judging people by their appearance. As a result, he was dumbfounded when Liang Chuan said this today, and others would only laugh when they heard him say that the allusions between Ding Wei and Wang Shipeng were elegant, he had told this story countless times, and it was the first time he heard this kind of analysis, and he still analyzed it well!

He only thought that Ding Wei was to shoot the emperor's Mani, but he never thought that Ding Wei would have his own opinions?

Of course, whether he really has an opinion or not has nothing to do with him as a small person, what he can care about now is that his printing and dyeing workshop can be maintained.

"Let's go forward and walk again, you have been here for a long time, do you know an Arab merchant Hussein?" Liang Chuanman asked.

"Arab? Where is this? "Although Bi Zhaosheng is an indigenous, but the industry is relatively poor, to put it bluntly, the industry is not very wide, there are some literati on books and books on oil painting boards in the upstream, and there are major academies and bookstores in the downstream.

Liang Chuan thought that this question was also in vain, and he probably had to find it himself. "There's a trading agency here, do you know where it is?"
