The Great Food Merchants have a long history of trading back and forth between the East and the West, and the wealth of experience is breathtaking.

There were people in the Great Song Dynasty who were going to sea to trade, but they could not be compared with the official scale, and the movement was not large, and it did not attract the attention of the big food merchants.

But now it's different.

Look at the mountains of goods, according to the understanding of the Great Food Merchant, these goods can make the Great Song Merchants make a fortune.

In the past, this was our money, but now it has been earned by the Song people.

Ay!

Eyes were exchanged, but mostly frustrated.

Once the Song people went to sea to trade on a large scale, what would be the matter with the big food merchants?

A merchant said in a low voice: "The only way now is that we don't trade with the Song people in our country. Think about it, those goods are only available to us, don't the Song people want them? ”

Everyone nodded slightly, "The next time you go to sea, let people go back and warn them that they are not allowed to trade with the Song people." ”

"But what if anyone doesn't listen?"

"Don't listen?" The big food merchant said coldly: "If you don't listen, you will smash everyone's rice bowl, and you will die without a place to be buried." ”

Everyone nodded, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

"Sold!"

After a shout, the dock boiled.

After buying most of the goods in the city, the rest of the goods were sold freely.

Merchants who have been waiting for a long time flock to the market, and the sound of bargaining makes people think that this is the market.

After a while, a group of coolies entered the field and began to carry the goods.

Su Yan looked at these coolies and said to Qin Xin: "Zhizhou, back then, Xiaguan and his father worked at the wharf in Bianliang, and now I feel very kind when I look at these!" ”

"Others are afraid that others will know their past downfall, but you are calm." Qin Xin admired this young man very much, and said with a smile: "Those businessmen will hold banquets, it was not easy to eat in the past, but today it is fine, let's go, let's go together." ”

"It's time to eat the feast, and you have a share!"

The merchants were greeted with red faces, and even the shipwrights were invited.

Of course, the big food merchants were not among them, they followed behind and entered the city of Hangzhou all the way.

Then came the carnival, and those businessmen who made a lot of money almost bought down the entire Qinglou in Hangzhou, which was outrageously extravagant.

Then the news that Haimao had made a lot of money also spread, and the restaurant where Qin Xin and Su Yan were located was instantly flooded by the merchants.

"Zhizhou, the villain is willing to go to sea!"

"General judgment, the villain will prepare the goods in the spring next year, how much ...... will be needed"

“……”

Su Yan looked at these scenes and couldn't help but laugh.

Chief, is this what you call the lure of profit?

Nowadays, Hangzhou is discussing going to sea to make a lot of money everywhere, and the trend of going to sea trade is unstoppable!

……

On the last day of the second year of Zhiping, the palace was busy.

"Tomorrow is the big court meeting, all be tight, don't make mistakes."

Chen Zhongheng stood on the steps, scolding a few lazy guys with a loud voice.

Turning around, he entered the hall, where Zhao Shu was reading.

"Official, the king is here with the prince and princesses."

Zhao Shu put down the book and said with a smile: "I'm here to ask for money, let's let them come." ”

The Great Song Dynasty was prosperous, and Zhao Shu's mood was naturally good.

Later, Zhao Ji came in with the children.

The three sons were led by Zhao Hao, Zhao Hao followed behind, and the youngest son Zhao Hao was at the back. Zhao Hao was only ten years old, and he was very curious when he came in, and there was a waiter next to him who coughed dryly and reminded him to pay attention to etiquette.

Zhao Ji looked at the waiter who was coughing dryly and said, "Shiro is still young. ”

Zhao Shu had four sons, the third of whom died young.

The waiter lowered his head in embarrassment, and Zhao Shu saw that his youngest son was lively, so he smiled and said: "It's still young, and besides, it's the New Year soon, and the children should be relaxed, no problem." ”

"Yes."

The chamberlain stepped back.

The eldest daughter, Princess Dening, stood on the other side with her two younger sisters, Zhao Qianyu was the second, glaring at the second brother Zhao Hao opposite, looking very playful.

Princess Sanshoukang looks very honest.

Three sons and three daughters, the key is that most of these six children are born to Gao Tao, which is extremely rare among emperors.

"Official, the saint is here."

Gao Tao came in and said with a smile: "Is this to ask the official family for money to spend?" This year, the life of the official family has been much better, just ask for it. ”

Zhao Shu saw that his sons were very happy, and his daughters were moved, and he couldn't help laughing: "Okay, okay, I'll send you some gold and silver when I turn around for my father......"

Zhao Qianyu's eyes rolled slightly, "Official, gold and silver are not easy to spend, so you want copper coins." ”

"You naughty girl." Zhao Shu smiled: "Okay, give the copper money." But you also have to take the gold and silver, and when you get married, you can press the bottom of the box, just like your mother, you ask, there is a lot of gold and silver in her box, and when you get angry, you will take your own gold and silver to live, and you are afraid that your father is helpless. ”

Gao Tao smiled, then came over and sat down.

"Dalang is okay this year."

At the end of the year, the family met with some flavor of summary.

Zhao Ji lowered his head, feeling that he had given his father a few problems this year, which felt very good, but it was very uncomfortable to double his homework recently.

Zhao Shu commented on the performance of his children this year, and finally said with a smile: "You all go back." ”

Zhao Qianyu asked curiously: "Official, where is the money?" ”

This daughter is the most coquettish, Zhao Shu smiled: "It's all sent." ”

"Thank you, official."

The sons and daughters gave thanks, and then they dispersed.

Zhao Shu smiled and turned sideways, "You have taken care of the palace and the children this year, you have worked hard." ”

"It's not hard." Gao Tao said with a smile: "The official family is really hard, the affairs of the previous dynasty are inextricably linked, and the children have to watch the naughty mischief, but the concubines can't do this." ”

Zhao Shu smiled: "Children are very headaches when they are young, but now that I think about it, it is better when I was a child!" Convenient. Look at Da Lang, now he is getting more and more wild, and he thinks about going out all day long......"

Gao Tao frowned and said, "The concubine turned around and restrained him. ”

Zhao Shu nodded, feeling that he had set up another trick for his eldest son, and he couldn't help but feel happy.

"The official family, Dalang's relatives, there is a candidate for the concubine."

"Who?"

Zhao Shu turned around and sat down, and said loudly: "Do you remember Xiang Minzhong?" ”

Xiang Minzhong...... Of course I remember. Zhao Shu said: "That person is old and serious, and he has the ability to seek the country. He was quite optimistic when he was Taizong, and he was reused when he was Zhenzong, and he was regarded as an important minister of the two dynasties. ”

Xiang Minzhong is an old minister of the two dynasties, starting from the time of Emperor Taizong, when he was more than 70 years old, Zhenzong did not allow him to be a minister, which can be seen to be relied on.

Gao Tao said with a smile: "He has a great-granddaughter who is not bad, it is said that she is very virtuous and virtuous, and the concubine knows the rules of our family, and when she is an important minister, the powerful can't ask for it, so I thought of his family." ”

After Xiang Minzhong went, his descendants gradually became dull, but they can be regarded as a noble family, and this is also the best candidate for a royal marriage.

Zhao Shu thought for a while and said, "Da Lang is not young, and it is time to get married." You have to pay attention to this matter and turn back...... Let's see, let that little lady come into the palace, you can see it, if you can, let Da Lang see it too. ”

Gao Tao said dumbly: "Official, this is not in accordance with the rules. ”

"What rules?" Zhao Shu chuckled and said, "When I met you in the palace back then, we were both young...... At that time......"

Gao Tao's heart was sweet, and he remembered the events of the year, "Yes, the concubine was a little hesitant in the palace that year, but fortunately I met you, so I had a companion." ”

Two young people with an uncertain future meet in the palace, and this is fate.

Then they became husband and wife, and they have come hand in hand until now.

Chen Zhongheng went out quietly and ordered: "Don't let irrelevant people disturb the official family these days. ”

Throughout the year, the emperor can rest for a few days, but there are always people who want to take a shortcut to the south, so they like to see each other in these days.

Those waiters responded, Chen Zhongheng stood on the steps, looking at the wall in front of him, his heart was slightly sour.

It's the New Year!

But what about Yan Yue?

Yan Yue, where are you?

……

The New Year's Festival in Bianliang is always lively, and the streets are full of people.

The merchants on both sides are desperately shouting, this is their best opportunity to make money in a year, and there will be no such shop after this village.

Those people are the most idle and have the most money in the year.

They showed up in the shops with their wives and children, laughed and picked up the goods, and then disappeared from the child, and shouted loudly, and when the child came running from the grocery store next door, they pretended to hit him on the back, but the strength could not even kill a fly.

There are also young women traveling together, they raise their sleeves to cover half of their faces, and look at this prosperity excitedly.

The tricksters also took the opportunity to find an open space to start the performance, and a woman on the side held a pocket, and stopped when the performance reached a wonderful place, and then said that they would rely on these days to earn some money to buy some meat for the children at home all year round, so those audience members also took out copper coins, threw them into the bag, and the excitement continued.

If you ask why it's not a plate...... Copper coins are very heavy, and if you come with a plate, the first one is easy to roll out, and it is difficult to pick it up. The second is heavy.

The woman dragged the bag, didn't need to count, just felt the weight, and smiled and thanked her.

This is a great Song Dynasty that is gradually becoming richer, and there are more and more smiles on the faces of the people.

"Long live the official family!"

Someone drank too much and shouted, which caused a burst of approval from everyone.

Since the accession of today's official family to the throne, whether it is people's livelihood or external affairs, the Great Song Dynasty has been making continuous progress. These improvements are felt little by little, but they are inspiring.

In the midst of this uproar, a caravan slowly entered Bianliang City.

"Why did you come?"

A guy who picked them up hurriedly said, "It's all sold out, hurry up and send the goods." ”

"We didn't miss the deadline." Yan Yue gave up her hand and was very serious.

You have to have credit to do business in Da Song, otherwise you will not be able to move an inch.

The guy stomped his feet and said, "Yes, yes, you didn't miss the deadline, hurry up." ”

The caravan sent the goods over, everyone unloaded the goods together, and settled the payment later, Yan Yue turned around and said: "Tomorrow is the first day of the new year, from this moment on, you all disperse, and after the fifteenth we will set off to the northwest." ”

"What about you, shopkeeper?" The guys under him looked unusually tough, but they took a little more care of Yan Yue.

"Leave me alone." Yan Yue carried the burden and touched the knife inside, and there was a smile on her slightly dark face, "We have earned a lot this year, you all go, just remember not to throw the money into the casino, let alone into the Qinglou, so I brought most of it to my family." ”

The trade routes in the northwest are very dangerous, these guys are looking for a life on the knife edge with Yan Yue, and they have to relax at the moment, they need women and stimulation.

The guys said goodbye, Yan Yue had a burden on her back, and looked at Bianliang City blankly, not knowing where to go.

In the end, she unconsciously walked outside the gate of the imperial city and remembered that old Chen......

"There's a guy named Chen Zhongheng, do you know him?" She asked the sergeant guarding the door.

……

Fourth, good night!
