Tokyo in the Song Dynasty was not the one on Toei Island, but one of the four capitals of the Great Song Dynasty.

The Tokyo on Toei Island didn't even have an official name at this time. It is a wild place full of swamps and rivers.

Zhao Kuangyin followed the old system of five dynasties, with Kaifeng Mansion as Tokyo and Henan Mansion as Xijing. Henan Province is Luo. Yang does not refer to Chang'an City.

After that, Song Zhenzong made Zhao Kuangyin the territory of Songzhou, that is, Shang. Qiu was upgraded to Yingtianfu and called Nan. Capital city.

And in the period of Song Renzong, Song Zhenzong personally conquered the Khitan stationed river. The Peking University Mansion was upgraded to the North. Capital city. This is the origin of the four capitals of the Song Dynasty.

Three of the four capitals are located in Henan, and the pattern feels a bit small.

The official name of Tokyo is Kaifeng Mansion, and the lyrics all sing about Kaifeng Mansion Yin, and I have never heard of Bianliang Mansion Yin.

The reason why they all call Bianliang City is because Kaifeng Mansion is located in the land of Bianliang. In the former Tang Dynasty, it was Bianzhou, and it was also the seat of the Liang State. That's why this area is called Bianliang, just like the land of swallows and thistles in the north.

Bianliang City shouted a lot, and it naturally spread among the people.

Everyone will say that they will go to Bianliang to play, but no one will say that they will go to Kaifeng Mansion to play.

As the largest and most prosperous city of this era, there are more than 2 million people in Bianliang City alone. And because the Great Song Dynasty adopted the policy of strong cadres and weak branches, Bianliang City is the place where the wealth of the world gathers.

If you want to know how rich it is, you can understand it by looking directly at the Qingming Shanghe map. At this time, there were already people delivering food in Bianliang City, a real place of civilization and prosperity.

Those who do business want to go to Bianliang City to do it, because they can make a fortune even if they just sell dry firewood there. No matter what business you do, you don't have to worry about not being able to sell.

After listening to Wang Xiao's words, Ximen Qing was also short of breath and began to fantasize about the scene of selling steamed buns in Bianliang City.

Millions of people eat their steamed buns, and that makes a lot of money.

Wang Xiao picked a piece of sour bamboo shoots and threw it in his mouth, "Of course you can't be in a hurry about this kind of thing, you must always explore the way to find a good heel first." Next month, the county will escort the tax to Tokyo, so how about the senior officials go with me to set up an outpost to investigate and pave the way? ”

The policy of the Great Song Dynasty was to strengthen the cadres and weak branches, and most of the wealth reserved in various places had to be sent to Bianliang City. Of course, this kind of work cannot be done by the government officials, and the people responsible for transporting it are all the van troops from all over the country.

Ximenqing had a flexible mind, savored Wang Xiao's words, and felt that what he said was reasonable. stupidly rushed directly to Bianliang City to open a store, and it is estimated that someone will have to be thrown into the Bianhe River on the first day of opening. Exploring the way ahead is what it should mean.

Thinking of this, Ximen Qing smiled and picked up the wine jug and poured the wine, "What Dutou said is very true, there is no one who does business all day long and does not want to go to Bianliang City." It's just that the water in Bianliang City is too deep. ”

"If you want to cross the river, of course, you have to wade." Wang Xiao glanced at Li Bei'er who was disbursing vegetables on the side, "It's like what the big officials said, it's not easy to make money." Things that are easy to make money can't be our turn, what else can we do, we can only go down to the river to fish. ”

Ximenqing held the wine glass, thought about it for a long time, and couldn't make a decision.

It's not just talking. If you really want to expand your business in Bianliang City, you have to pay real money.

You can't send this steamed bun from Yanggu County to Bianliang City, so you have to hire people to work in Bianliang City, buy or rent a courtyard, and all kinds of raw materials, workers and so on.

In addition to these, the city fox society rats in Bianliang City, and the various sword and pen officials in Kaifeng Mansion must be in place. Otherwise, you won't be able to get out of the business at all.

In the end, no matter what, you have to find a character in the official face to be the backstage.

It's not good if it's small, at least you have to be more than seven or six grades to be a backer. If you really encounter any trouble, someone above you has to help you talk.

Such a character first has to smash the door open with money, and then the filial piety of the New Year's festival is absolutely indispensable. At the same time, it is also necessary to let people occupy dry shares in the store business.

Not a single steamed bun has been sold, and a large amount of expenses have already pulled out the list.

It is impossible for Wang Xiao to pay these expenses by himself, and if he says that the profit is one and a half, then he Ximenqing will also have half of it.

In this Yanggu County, he Ximenqing is still a high-ranking figure, but if his net worth is really taken to Bianliang City, what can he be worth.

Go to Bianliang City, this is an action to smash off most of your wealth!

Wang Xiao was not in a hurry, he was drinking and eating with a smile, teasing Li Bottler on the side between his eyebrows.

Pan Jinlian kept secretly sending autumn spinach to Wang Xiao, but Wang Xiao could only turn a blind eye in order to complete the task.

was hooked up with such a goblin-like woman all day long, and Wang Xiao was also angry. It's not that I'm interested in Li Bei'er now, I'm just idle and have nothing to do to splash some Mars out.

Wang Xiao was not worried that Ximenqing would refuse at all, because he knew very well that Ximenqing had no way to refuse the stacks of copper coins.

Ximenqing finally agreed to take the risk, the temptation of silver money was too great.

"I'll give you the technology, you will pay for it, and if you make money, we will still be half to half." With a hint of playfulness in Wang Xiao's eyes, he got up and said goodbye and left, "Great official, glory and wealth are in front of you." ”

Ximen Qing noodles are like iron pots, and all the money is Lao Tzu's work. But the problem is that the technology that Wang Xiao has mastered is the key, and without this technology, he can't invest even if he has money.

If this is a substitution, such as Nawu Dalang. Ximenqing has already done a black hand. But Wang Xiao can't do it, this guy is a black-hearted like himself, and he can kill a tiger with his bare hands. If you really use the means, you will be the one who is unlucky in the end.

His eyes turned to Li Bei'er beside him, and he wondered in his heart that Wang Xiao might be interesting to Bei'er, should he use this card?

In this era when giving concubines is like giving gifts, this kind of thing is all too common.

Walking out of the gate of Ximen Qing's house, Wang Xiao looked at the blue sky and white clouds and the surrounding bustle and hustle and bustle, and stood silently for a long time.

"It's none of my business."

Wang Xiao shook his head and walked away.

For more than a month, Wu Dalang's white-flour steamed buns have become famous in nearby states and counties. Thousands of sales per day, whether it is Wu Dalang, Pan Jinlian or Ximen Qing, they are all smiling.

You can make several times a day, which is faster than the money that comes from the roadblocks.

Wang Xiao watched coldly as Ximen Qing ran to Wu Dalang's house every day, and secretly eyed Pan Jinlian.

He didn't stop it, and he wouldn't stop it unless it really crossed the line.

Ximenqing needs to impress Pan Jinlian, and wait until he is pitted to play a deterrent role.

As for Wu Dalang, he gets up early all day and is busy working to make money to support his family, but he doesn't know anything at all.

"That princess in prison, let it go."

When he was drinking with the officials at night, Wang Xiao was ready to release the Wang Po who had been in prison a few days ago.

Some people are really born with some things, even if they arrest Wang Po as an intermediary, it doesn't make sense.

Philosophers say who is what kind of person is based on what he does, not by others who characterize him. Wang Xiao expressed his deep opinion of this.

"When will the tax be escorted to Bianliang?"

The layout here Wang Xiao has almost carried out. The doors of the nearby states and counties have been heard clearly and have begun to be contacted, and the helpers who are responsible for transporting and selling have also become familiar. As long as the money is in place, there is no surprise in the transfer.

Wang Xiao has even begun to arrange for the signing of agency agreements with shops in nearby states and counties. In the future, Wu Dalang was only responsible for delivery, and the sales were all handled by local shops. This is roughly what a franchise store means.

Now everything is ready, only Ximenqing takes most of his wealth to follow Wang Xiao to Tokyo together.

The head catcher was well-informed, and immediately responded, "The county master has approved it, just the work of the past few days." Our county's Xiang army does not have the head of the horse army, and this matter can only fall on you. ”

Wang Xiao picked up the wine jug and filled it for him: "It takes a month or two to go back and forth to Tokyo." Some things at home have to be taken care of by the headcatcher. ”

Although he made up his mind to take Ximen Qing away, God knows if Ximen Blowing Snow will come.

For the safety of Wu Dalang, Wang Xiao still made a lot of preparations in private.

The head catcher smiled and looked at a few Jiaozi worth fifty yuan in his hand, "Don't worry, this matter is on my body." ”

Money can make the devil grind, because money is the only thing that can fulfill people's desires.

Fifty guan is such a huge amount of money enough for the officials of Yanggu County to take good care of Wu Dalang and not cause any danger.

In the original work, from Wu Dalang being injured to his final tragic death, in fact, all links are full of loopholes. It's a discerning person who can see the greasy inside.

The reason why no one came forward was not that Ximenqing spent money to gag people's mouths, but that Wu Song had never made such an arrangement before leaving. Actually, he couldn't have imagined that such a thing would happen.

"If I go to Tokyo during this time, something happens to my brother." Wang Xiao's voice gradually turned cold: "Then I'm going to turn my face down." ”

Wang Xiao's prestige in fighting tigers is outside, and he also has money on hand. The official didn't dare to really take the money and didn't do anything, "Don't worry, I will send brothers to follow Brother Ling day and night in a few days." ”

"I'm tired." Wang Xiao smiled, and pushed a face value of ten times again, "Brothers, please drink tea." ”

A few days later, the magistrate found Wang Xiao and asked him to lead a team to escort the county's taxes to Bianliang City to settle the payment.

In view of the fact that during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the feudal towns in various places supported their own troops, and the lesson of changing the Great King's Banner in Bianliang City for three days. After Zhao Kuangyin was wrapped in a yellow robe, he used a glass of wine to release the military power of the generals. At the same time, the elite troops from all over the country were dispatched to the capital in the way of strong cadres and weak branches. At the same time, the local tax wealth was also regularly escorted into Bianliang City.

In doing so, the roots of the local feudal towns were fundamentally extracted, and no one could become a feudal town without soldiers, money, and materials.

After a hundred years of peace, the local power is already very weak. In the face of the so-called four big Kou, they couldn't deal with it, and the vegetable cube swept the entire Jiangnan when the incident occurred.

When the Jin soldiers went south, they were powerless to resist and could only watch the Jin army fight all the way to the city of Bianliang.

In the end, the wealth and women accumulated over a hundred years all fell into the hands of the Jin people.

Wang Xiao led dozens of vans to escort a number of carts to Bianliang City, loaded with Yanggu County's deportation of the imperial court's taxes and copper coins, silk tribute, and the filial piety of the court's officials.

He was accompanied by more than a dozen helpers who carried baskets with Ximenqing.

Looking at Wang Xiao, who was talking and laughing, Ximenqing's eyes were uncertain, and all kinds of thoughts kept surging in his heart.

This time I went to Bianliang City and said that it was Ximen Qing who paid for it and Wang Xiao who gave the technology. In other words, all the expenses must be borne by Ximenqing alone.

For Ximenqing, who loves money like his life, this is of course an unacceptable thing.

In addition, the white-flour steamed buns sell well, and they make money like water every day, but they have to be divided by Wang Xiao and Wu Dalang. There is also Pan Jinlian, who makes Ximen's officials hot and charming.

All of this made Ximen Qing move the idea of killing Wang Xiao, and then monopolizing the white-flour steamed bun business and Pan Jinlian.

I have already made up my mind, and all that is missing now is the opportunity to do it.
