Zhang Bin glanced at Zhao Ji, who nodded slightly.

Zhang Bin turned around and bowed to Sima Guang first, and said, "Long Tu is so sure of this matter, he dares to bet with the lower officials." ”

Sima Guang's eyes narrowed, and he snorted coldly: "What do you want to bet on?" ”

Zhang Bin said categorically: "If the trial of the bidding method fails, the lower officials will be abolished by His Majesty the day before yesterday, and they will not be allowed to enter the court as an official for the rest of their lives." ”

When everyone heard this, their expressions suddenly froze, Zhang Bin's bet is not small!

However, Zhao Ji is happy to see this, because Zhang Bin dares to say this, which shows that he is very confident in the bidding.

Han Qi's eyes flashed, and he said in his heart: "Zhang Bin is so decisive. ”

Wang Anshi frowned slightly, and secretly thought in his heart: "This son acts like a gambler, he is still too young." ”

"To be successful, there needs to be a standard for the money and food raised." Wen Yanbo took a deep look at Zhang Bin and said lightly.

Zhang Bin immediately bowed his hand to Wen Yanbo and said: "Minister Wen is reasonable, if you can raise 300,000 yuan or 500,000 stone of grain to try out the bidding method with the right to transfer and buy grain, it will be considered a success, otherwise as long as you have less money or a grain of grain, it will be regarded as a failure." ”

Everyone was shocked, 300,000 guan money and 500,000 stone grain were not small amounts, and they were even enough for the 100,000 army to eat for two months.

Even Zhao Ji, Wang Anshi, Han Qi, and Wu Chong, who had already expressed their agreement to try out the bidding method, shook their heads slightly, secretly thinking that Zhang Bin was still too young, how could those businessmen easily come up with such a large amount of money or food.

And they also expressed doubts about whether the businessman had such a large amount of money.

Zhao Ji felt that Zhang Bin had said too much, but he didn't open his mouth to stop the two from betting, thinking that it would be good to teach this son some setbacks, as long as he could have 200,000 yuan or 300,000 stone of grain, he would be considered a success.

As for the bet, go back and find an excuse to directly order Zhang Bin to use it.

However, Sima Guang saw that Zhang Bin was so resolute, especially for Zhang Bin's cold pool-like eyes, he had a faint unfathomable feeling, and he was inexplicably hesitant in his heart.

It's just that, in front of everyone's eyes, he has said it so absolutely before, it is impossible to fight back with his character, and he will die to a low level.

"Okay, take 300,000 yuan or 500,000 stone of grain as the standard, if you can really raise enough, the old man will resign and go home, and devote himself to cultivating the scriptures and books." Sima Guang stared at Zhang Bin deadly, but pretended to be bland.

"Alright." Zhao Ji then said: "Spread my will, this matter is ......"

He originally wanted to say that Zhang Bin was in charge, but he thought about how he was qualified to be the person in charge as Zhang Bin.

After a pause, Zhao Ji's gaze swept over several people in the hall and said, "Wu Chong, the third envoy, is responsible for this matter, Xue Xiang is fully cooperating, and Zhang Bin is the ...... The bidding envoy, the specific host, I gave Zhang Bin seven empty names again. ”

Zhang Bin knew that the so-called Xuanzha meant that by filling in his name, year, and place of origin, he could have an official body from the seventh rank and become one of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty.

However, they are all loose officials, and there will be no specific dispatch and this official, let alone any power.

But in this era, even the status of the lowest-grade disbanded officials from the ninth grade is well used in the hands of merchants, and its value is more than a thousand gold, and the most direct benefit is that the official's land does not have to be taxed, and his family does not have to serve labor.

Zhang Bin is well aware of the needs and values of businessmen in this era, and he is far more aware than almost all the officials and literati in the world of the present day, and understands the huge energy hidden under the surface of the businessman group, especially some successful businessmen, who are big entrepreneurs in later generations, how can their knowledge, ability and means be weak.

It is precisely for this reason that Zhang Bin dared to propose a bidding method, and took the initiative to take the errand, not to mention, he dared to make a big bet with Sima Guang just now.

…………

…………

Time was pressing, Zhang Bin directly followed Wu Chong to the Third Division.

Although Zhang Bin's plan and regulations are already very detailed, it is impossible for him to complete such a big thing alone, and the Third Division and Xue Xiang's Grain Transshipment Department over there will definitely mobilize some officials to cooperate in this matter.

And how to unify the minds of these people, not to mention letting them do their best, at least not to lag behind.

Therefore, it is necessary to convene a coordination meeting of all the officials involved to carry out some mobilization, specific division of labor, designation of responsibilities, put forward some requirements, and clarify some regulations.

Wu Chong was anxious to raise the grain and grass used by the army in the northwest, and he himself was also in charge of this matter, so the people mobilized were all capable and credible officials.

Xue Xiang only brought two officials from there, but they were Xue Xiang's henchmen, and they were very familiar with the situation of the Great Song Dynasty grain merchants.

With the support and full cooperation of Xue Xiang and Wu Chong, the coordination meeting was held very smoothly, no matter what these people thought of the young Zhang Bin, whether they didn't think so, but after the meeting, everyone immediately split up to implement it, but no one dared to delay.

In addition to some subdivided things, the main thing that Zhang Bin asked them to do was actually one.

On behalf of the imperial court, Xue issued an official notice to all grain merchants, indicating the operation and purchase rights of the Grain Transit Division, and the object was all grain merchants in the Great Song Dynasty.

And according to Zhang Bin's request, the program plan and regulations he made were attached to the back of the official notice.

Therefore, there is no need to worry that the businessman will not understand what the method of bidding is.

However, because of the urgency of the time this time, and the fact that the largest grain merchants in the Great Song Dynasty were mainly concentrated in the city of Tokyo, the bidding and auction time was set three days later, which was actually mainly a time for these merchants to raise money and grain.

And Zhang Bin asked Wu to send these officials out to ensure that at the bidding meeting three days later, all the Great Song grain merchants who could come could show up on time.

Zhang Bin himself was not idle, and took six veterans and snake slaves to a place, where he had inquired about this place as early as the day before yesterday when he visited Daxiangguo Temple.

………

………

Bianjing City is the center of the Great Song Dynasty and the most prosperous city in the world, with a total of nearly 2 million permanent residents and floating population, and the daily necessities of life are unknown.

There are also a large number of all kinds of goods imported into Bianjing, but after these goods arrive in Beijing, they are not all sold directly to shops or stalls in an irregular or messy manner.

In fact, except for the scattered small vendors, all kinds of goods must be resold to the heads of the guilds after entering the capital, and then the heads of the guilds will be distributed to the merchants who join the guilds for retail.

This rule is by no means unique to the Great Song Dynasty, as early as the Han Dynasty, this kind of unspoken rule has been formed, or this kind of recognized rule.

Of course, this so-called guild is only a very scattered organization, and its binding power on big businessmen with backgrounds is extremely limited, but its influence on some ordinary businessmen is very large, and it can even directly determine whether the business can be continued.

For example, there are cattle dealers, horse sellers, meat sellers, and even dung collectors, 360 traders, and guilds, as long as they do business, whether they want to or not, they must join a guild.

Of course, after all, it is a civil organization, and there is no compulsion.

But if you don't join, you will inevitably be run on and sanctioned by almost all your peers, and eventually the business will be difficult to continue, so you have to join the guild.

In fact, there will be a guild in each of the states below.

And the largest guilds in all walks of life are all in Bianjing.

Moreover, these guilds do not only affect the shops on the street, but also have a great impact on the entire industry chain.

From production, to transportation, to sales, there will be their shadow on this line.

For example, cloth shops, from silkworm cocoon purchases, silk reeling, weaving, printing and dyeing, and other workshops, are closely linked, and the relationship between them is even more intertwined.

And the generation leaders who can become the leaders of these guilds are definitely outstanding people, because the competition for the leaders is very large, and there are some established standards, and it is impossible for mediocre people to sit in this position.

Because of this, the energy and resources in the hands of these leaders are very large, far beyond the imagination of those officials in the court who have always looked down on merchants and commercial affairs.

As for the Son of Heaven, his eyes have never been fixed on such a thing.

Only Zhang Bin, a person who came from later generations, has both officialdom experience and worked in large enterprises, will have preconceived ideas, and he specially visited and investigated the day before yesterday, which is indeed the case.

Of course, no matter how rich these leaders are, how many connections, manpower, and invisible power they have, in this era, their status is still incomparable with that of officials, and they themselves know this.

The target of Zhang Bin's trip is the head of the grain bank, a big grain merchant named Mi Ye.
