Although the 'Qingli New Deal' ended in a very short period of time, no one can erase Fan Zhongyan's contribution, and Wang Anshi's 'Xining Reform' can be said to be indispensable, and his success is to learn from the reasons for the failure of the 'Qingli New Deal'.

The revolutionary vanguard of the older generation and the reserve forces of the new generation have tacitly skipped the topic of reform, and if they can ask a prime minister who has left a strong mark in history, Lu Zifei will certainly not let go of this opportunity.

As for the way to go in the future, he wanted to hear the elder's advice, so he asked: "Fan Xiang, after my palace tried, you think that road is better in the choice of officials." ”

Fan Zhongyan laughed very happily, no matter how smart a teenager is, there are times when he is confused! This is the nature that should belong to this age, if it is true that Lu Zifei can be perfect in everything, then Fan Zhongyan really doesn't dare to date.

"There is no such thing as a free lunch! It's not cheap to want to learn from me. ”

Lu Zifei said jokingly: "Do everything I have, do my best." ”

Fan Zhongyan waved his hand and said, "Then don't, it's not appropriate for you to say this to me, let's keep it for Mengyue!" I'm afraid that Mengyue will have a feud with me, an old man, but you two must also hurry up. ”

The atmosphere of the chat was extremely harmonious, Fan Chunyou still added tea to the two of them without saying a word, Fan Zhongyan paused and continued: "The premise of all this is that you can be admitted to the Jinshi, of course, I have never doubted this, what I said today can only represent my personal opinion, and you still need to judge whether it is correct or not." ”

"You are too modest, the experience summed up by the ancestors must be at least respected, and I also believe in the wisdom of the ancestors."

Fan Zhongyan nodded and said: "I won't talk about the Hanlin Academy and the release, you must know this, I'll just say one thing, an old Hanlin who has been a prime minister all his life is necessarily not the opponent of the person who has been climbing up from the place to be the prime minister, and the local people are definitely not as good as the old Hanlin's overall view, and the relationship between the two is like this." ”

Lu Zifei said: "You mean that in the experience of being an official, these two are indispensable? ”

Fan Zhongyan said: "You can think like you, you will not go far without one of the struggle experience and the overall situation, after you become a sergeant, my suggestion is to stay in the court first, and then transfer to the place after you are familiar with the institutions of the imperial court, otherwise you go directly to the place, you don't understand anything, you can't deal with those little officials." ”

That's why there is an old Chinese saying that 'if there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure', the things they have experienced are valuable experiences, if no one tells you this, you rely on yourself to crawl around in the officialdom, and you will not be able to figure out the doorway in a few years.

The reason why Fan Zhongyan values Lu Zifei is that he feels that Lu Zifei can finish what he hasn't done for him, so in the conversation between the two people, Fan Zhongyan knows everything and tries to make Lu Zifei take fewer detours in the future.

A visit, the guests and the host enjoyed themselves, the wine is Xifeng wine, the latest invention in the distillery, not in porcelain, but in transparent glass bottles, watching Lu Zifei and his father take every sip, the hearts of the three Fan Chunyou brothers will twitch, it is too extravagant.

After Lu Zifei left home, Pei Peipei came to the headquarters of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce with a few guards, because of Lu Zifei's order, the shopkeeper of the Quartet Chamber of Commerce did not leave the capital after the end of this year, and they were also confused about today's sudden convening.

Pei Peipei looked around the conference room and saw that everyone was here, so he said, "Why are you so nervous!" It's good to call you here today, all relax. ”

"General manager, tell me the good news! We are all bored to death in the capital, and we don't want to do anything while earning the money of the head of the family! ”

The person who spoke represented the voice of many people, they liked the Lu family's style of doing things, and such a family would not have a second one if they lived in the Great Song Dynasty, so they were very concerned about things at work.

Pei Peipei said with a smile: "Then I won't sell Guanzi, the finished wool products over there in Chang'an have finally come out, and the shops in the capital are also ready, I invite everyone to come just to see how the wool reacts." ”

The shopkeeper of the Northern Chamber of Commerce was the first group of people to know about the wool plan, and he stood up excitedly and said, "General manager, is it really going to be successful?" God, our investment in this is finally about to pay off. ”

Pei Peipei is only responsible for the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, as for the deep meaning and layout of Lu Zifei's doing, she has her own guesses, but she can't say it in this kind of scene, she said in a changed tone: "The heads of the West and North Chamber of Commerce listened, the head of the family asked me to tell you that the focus of your work will be on wool for the past two years, and whoever has poor grades will go back to Luoyang to continue his studies." ”

They all know the training class of the Lu family, and they have experienced it personally, it is simply a kind of torture for adults, they would rather run around than suffer such a devastation again, such a big person, it is not good to lose to the other party, they know that this is the master's conspiracy, but you still have to do it obediently.

For the promotion of wool products, the Lu family began to lay out as early as a few days ago, and they asked the newspaper boys to hand out small cards while selling newspapers, but everyone didn't understand what this wool could do, so they didn't pay much attention.

It can't be said that there is no effect at all, more publicity will naturally attract the attention of some people, and what attracts them is the words discount, discount and other words on the small card, there is no shortage of smart people in the capital, they are waiting at the door of the store as soon as they get the news.

The moment the door of the shop opened, people rushed in, and when they picked up the clothes on the shelves, they suddenly lost interest, not only because of the rough workmanship of the clothes, but also because the hands of people rubbed on them were very uncomfortable.

The clerk calmly looked at these disappointed customers, and after the people calmed down, they introduced to them: "We understand everyone's thoughts, but you haven't thought about why we should tell you such a bad clothes." ”

Someone secretly said: "Isn't it just trying to make us money with the trick of grandstanding?" This trick is not new in the capital for a long time, please use your brains if you want to cheat money in the future? Is it that we people in the capital have the words 'people are stupid and have a lot of money' written on their faces? ”

The waiter said, "How can you be sure that we are deceiving people just by looking at the clothes, and look at the signboard outside our door?" Doesn't it say 'affordable clothing', don't you think of anything from here? ”

This kind of simple guidance psychology is still very effective in the Great Song Dynasty, and someone immediately asked: "Then how much is your clothes, and now a piece of cloth is only a few dollars." ”

The waiter kept smiling and said: "Now a good and not bad ready-to-wear garment on the market is about the same price, I mean adults, children are not included, and our woolen clothes here are only 200 Wen, and the price is one-fifth of the cloth clothes, what do you say?" ”

A person in the case of family conditions to buy at least three sets of new clothes a year, the family conditions will be better, no one in the store to speak, everyone is silently calculating how much money can be saved by replacing all the previous clothes with sweaters, this is a lot of money, a few times a year to save money on dressing, this is not a small amount.

"Declare in advance, this sweater can not be worn in summer, because the characteristics of the sweater is warm, we don't care about wearing prickly heat in summer, our discount is only for three days, and friends who need it should hurry up, and the opportunity will not come again."

That's right, there are still many people who see it, but few people buy it, and the people of the capital have the pride of the people of the capital! In their opinion, face is more important than temperature, which does not mean that the clothes cannot be sold, and after the waiter of one of the shops introduced them, someone packed all the clothes in the store, because he saw a business opportunity in it.

One pass two, two pass three, three pass the entire Bianjing City, after all, food, clothing, housing and transportation are closely related to people's lives, is an indispensable part of people's lives, buy back to wear people are also praised, not to mention cheap, just warm this point 200 Wen is more.

After the store closed, Pei Peipei took the big shopkeepers of the Lu family to inquire about today's sales, and finally came to the conclusion that on the first day, retail investors bought very little, and most of the ones sold were bought by merchants, but Pei Peipei was very satisfied with this result.

Zhao Zhen, the news that can cause a sensation in the capital, must know the reason for it for the first time, no, there are all kinds of hair in front of him and Queen Cao, Queen Cao said: "Cheap is cheap, it is to prick people, it is indeed good news for the people." ”

Zhao Zhen was very clear about Lu Zifei's acquisition of wool, including the layout of the wool, and he didn't pay special attention to it, because he knew that Lu Zifei would definitely report to himself on the major rights and wrongs, and that kid seemed to have gone to Fan Zhongyan's mansion today.

The deep meaning of wool Zhao Zhen could not say to Empress Cao that the palace was full of people and leaked the news in advance, which was not good for the layout in the future, but it did not affect him to say some business relationships.

"As far as the people of the Imperial City Division report, now the several big cloth villages in the capital are like ants on a hot pot, that kid doesn't fight an unprepared battle, and the people of the cloth village will lose their money this time."

Empress Cao said casually: "It is not those farmers who raise silkworms and grow hemp who will suffer in the end. ”

Zhao Zhen said: "The queen is not wrong to say this, but from the overall situation, the advantages of the appearance of sweaters to the imperial court outweigh the disadvantages, and the supply of the northwest army surpasses countless linen and silk." ”

Empress Cao coped with her husband and didn't say anything, the emperor had the affairs of the court, she didn't bother to speak, she didn't see her son for a while, her heart was not here for a long time, her son was her pillar, what a sweater, to hell with the government!

Thinking that Lu Zifei told himself what wool and sweaters would make the grassland look like, Zhao Zhen was glad that the kid was fortunate that he was not his enemy, and he didn't need a knife to kill, this is the highest level of killing!
