Quanzhou Prefecture is located in the northern part of the inner city of Quanzhou, and the most prosperous business district in Quanzhou is located in the southern part of the inner city.

Although the prosperity of Quanzhou is far from that of Kaifeng, it is also relatively lively.

The streets are full of people coming and going, bustling, and lively, there are businessmen who rush goods into the city to do business, there are gentry who wander around to see the street scene, there are officials or people who inspect the department on horseback, there are hawkers selling along the street, there are idlers and small servants running around, there are scholars who carry bookcases into the city to take the exam, there are monks who carry bamboo baskets on their backs, Shinong industry and commerce, three religions and nine streams are all-encompassing, there are Han people, Yao people, Dong people, Miao people, She people, and even from the Great Food Country, Byzantine Empire, Three Buddhas, Annan Road, Zhancheng, Mayi and other places. Maritime and so on

This is the uniqueness of Quanzhou, that is, many of the merchants in Quanzhou are Fan merchants and Hu merchants.

The big-nosed, high-nosed, blue-eyed Fan Shang and Hu Shang made Xu Biao and other guards who rode forward with Li Sanjian feel extremely curious and excited...

"Xu Dutou, that guy's eyes are blue."

"Xu Dutou, that guy is more powerful than you!"

"Xu Dutou, maybe you're not the opponent of that big man with a beard."

At this time, around Xu Biao, the new head of the Quanzhou Prefecture, several officials surrounded Xu Biao and said with a smile, but the new Quanzhou governor Li Sanjian was left out in the cold...

"Birds!" Xu Biao was disdainful: "These handful of birds, don't look at them!" With a little finger, I made that guy fall down in the streets. ”

"Hahahaha, that's not necessarily, if you really do it, who doesn't have to."

"Thief Xiaoqi, do you dare to despise me?"

"Ouch, don't you dare!"

"Tap, tap, don't disturb Xianggong!"

Xu Biao is a muddy person, although he is more reckless, but he is also a good person. That is, Xu Biao did not have any shelf, and after Xu Biao was promoted by Li Sanjian to the head of the Yadu of Quanzhou Prefecture, he quickly became a mess with his hands.

Everyone also respects Xu Biao more, but instead of respecting Xu Biao, it is better to be in awe of Li Sanjian behind Xu Biao.

Who is Xu Biao? The key is that Xu Biao is the confidant of Li Sanjian, the governor of Quanzhou, and he followed Li Sanjian to Quanzhou from Kaifeng Mansion in Beijing.

In this way, everyone just doesn't look at the face of the monk and looks at the face of the Buddha.

Xu Biao and the others were surprised when they saw the Fushang Hu people, and they had already woken up Li Sanjian who was in deep thought, so Li Sanjian glared at Xu Biao fiercely and scolded: "What are you looking at? What a fuss, don't you go quickly? ”

"Yes, yes... Saburo, let's go, let's go. Xu Biao nodded again and again when he heard this, and then waved his hand and led his subordinates to hug Li Sanjian and hurried forward.

Everyone was secretly amused in their hearts at this time, a good man with five big and three thick, when he saw Li Sanjian, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, and he was extremely obedient.

According to common sense, court officials like Li Sanjian generally travel in a sedan chair, eight sedan chairs are carried, and the officials sound the gong to open the way, which is both majestic and windy, and at the same time people are very comfortable to sit in the sedan chair, and the older ones can be directly shaken to sleep...

However, since Li Sanjian became an official, he is not accustomed to taking a sedan chair at all, and wherever he goes, he either rides a horse or walks, the reason is that riding a horse or walking is much more convenient and faster than taking a sedan chair.

In the middle of the city, they didn't dare to gallop on their horses, and it was hard to say if they hurt people, so Li Sanjian and others controlled their horses and walked slowly towards a house.

The official horses of Kaifeng Mansion are mainly northwest horses, tall and incomparably powerful, while the horses in southern Fujian are mainly southwest Yunnan horses, which are not tall but more flexible.

When Li Sanjian and the others walked to a large mansion in Quanzhou City, they saw that the middle gate of this mansion was already wide open, and many people gathered at the door, old and young, were waiting at the door.

"It's coming, it's coming... After a few children saw Li Sanjian and others coming, they clapped their hands and ran towards the crowd of housekeepers.

At this time, an old man with white beard and hair, wearing a satin straight jacket made of Jiangnan silk, bowed down and greeted Li Sanjian and the others: "Grass man Chen Guangbi visits Lord Zhizhou!" The lord is here today, and he is really full of brilliance! ”

Seeing this, Li Sanjian hurriedly lifted the hem of his robe with his right hand, raised his leg and jumped off the saddle.

Riding a horse is convenient and fast, but it is not so convenient to get on and off the horse in a long shirt, but fortunately, Li Sanjian has been riding a horse for several years, so he did not make a fool of himself in public...

"The offspring boy can't be like an old lady!"

Although Li Sanjian is the honor of a state, he also has to respect the old man in front of him. Reading nests

The most important thing is that Li Sanjian came here today with a request, since he came with a request, wouldn't it be inappropriate to put on a high-minded, arrogant and unreasonable appearance? If it arouses the disgust of the other party, then what Li Sanjian asks for will not be so easy.

Therefore, Li Sanjian jumped off the official horse, supported the old man, and regarded himself as a junior.

"Hehe, people say that Li Zhizhou is young and promising, and now it seems that this is really the case, Li Zhizhou deserves to be my Great Song Dynasty Champion." Chen Guangbi then said to a middle-aged man beside him: "Yide, don't you invite Li Zhizhou in?" ”

So Chen Yide, a big businessman in Quanzhou, Fujian Road, was in a very complicated mood, and said to Li Sanjian: "Li Zhizhou, please inside!" ”

Chen Yide was the Fujian businessman who received Li Sanjian's grandfather Fu Gui and others, and picked up real pearls and other seafood, and became an old acquaintance of Li Sanjian.

Chen Yide and Li Sanjian also had a conflict on the acquisition of real pearls, and then Chen Yide raised the purchase price, and the two sides reconciled, and then the two met again on the road, Chen Yide on a whim, and also funded Li Sanjian, who was poor at the time, to study abroad, it should be said that Chen Yide is still kind to Li Sanjian.

And how did Chen Yide know that in just eight years, Li Sanjian had become an eye-catching champion of the Great Song Dynasty from an ant-like figure and a half-grown hairy boy.

Soon after, Li Sanjian became a member of the six grades of the imperial court, and at this time he became the honor of Quanzhou and the parent official of Quanzhou, so in other words, at this time, all the businessmen in Quanzhou had to make a living under Li Sanjian's wings, and they all had to rely on Li Sanjian's snort. . .

This is also the main reason why Chen Yide's father, Chen Guangbi, personally went out to greet a young man in his twenties at the age of 71.

The heavens favor someone, why is this?

Therefore, how can Chen Yide's mood at this time not be unusually complicated?

"Oh, good, good, good." Li Sanjian was also very happy to see Chen Yide, and enthusiastically called three good words: "It has been eight or nine years since Sanjian and Chen Yuanwai parted back then, right?" It can be said that time passes, like flowing water, Chen Yuanwai's kindness to Li back then, Li is unforgettable. ”

You must know that the warehouse of Song Zhizhou Mansion, in addition to the regular closing position, there are also warehouses for storing grain, such as Yicang, Shecang, Guanghui Warehouse, Huimin Warehouse, Fengchu Warehouse, etc.

Among them, the Shecang was founded by the people of the people, and it was built in the township community, so it is called the Shecang.

It is said that the Shecang began in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the purpose was to provide disaster relief, but there are very few such folk granaries, and a large part of them are established for the purpose of selling fame and reputation, in order to gain a good reputation for themselves, and there are very few that are really used for disaster relief.

Merchants or wealthy families are all for the purpose of profit, how many of them can really care about the life and death of the common people?

Li Sanjian had previously inquired about the fact that the Chen family, a big family in Quanzhou, had established a community warehouse, whether it was true or not, even if there was no community warehouse, then there must be a large granary in the Chen family, so Li Sanjian came to ask Chen for help today.

At this time, the granary of Quanzhou was about to run out, and the number of people who were waiting to be fed was increasing day by day, so Li Sanjian had to take this step by step, borrowing money and grain from the rich room in Quanzhou, and borrowing money and grain in the name of the government.

Borrowing money from a rich room, this matter is easier said than done, which rich family's money and grain fell from the world? How can it be so easy to lend out? Unless Li Sanjian sends someone to rob it...

However, Li Sanjian then inquired about the eldest son of the Chen family who was actually Chen Yide, and at that time Li Sanjian thought that it was a duplicate name and surname, but now that he saw Chen Yide, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

In this way, Li Sanjian's borrowing may be twice the result with half the effort.

"So, is Li Fuzun here to repay his kindness today?" Chen Yide smiled slightly when he heard this.

"Exactly!" Li Sanjian also said with a smile.

"Li Fuzun is really a person who knows how to repay his kindness! Haha, Li Fuzun, please inside! Chen Yide laughed when he heard this, and invited Li Sanjian into the house.

The ghost will believe your words, Chen Yide said secretly in his heart.

The so-called nothing is not on the Three Treasures Palace, Li Sanjian is the governor of Quanzhou, and there are fewer complicated things? What's more, at this time the flood in Quanzhou, Li Sanjian is even more busy, at this moment, he still has spare time to come to Chen's house to repay his kindness?

At the same time, although Chen Yide did not have much contact with Li Sanjian, he only had a dispute with Li Sanjian over the price of real pearls eight years ago, and then had a long talk on the ship, only twice, Chen Yide didn't know much about Li Sanjian, but he also knew that Li Sanjian was a master who would never suffer losses, and such a person basically had a purpose in everything he did.

Li Sanjian was invited into the Chen family's guest house, and the old lady Chen went back to the inner room to rest, accompanied by Chen Yide, the eldest son of the Chen family.

"Li Fuzun, please drink tea!" The two sides sat down, and several maids in the house immediately served the famous tea of southern Fujian, green phoenix marrow.

Qingfeng pith, produced in Jian'an, Fujian Road, Li Sanjian don't say to drink, he hasn't even heard of it.

The rich family is really different, the layout of the living room and its utensils are extremely luxurious, and there is a trace of elegance in the luxury.

The handmaidens were not only young and well-behaved, but their clothes were all silk and satin, and even the jewelry on the handmaidens was not affordable for ordinary people.
