Shopkeeper Hu knew that he had always done things unreasonably, and there would always be strange tricks in business, and he could always achieve unexpected and surprising results, so he arranged it, and Fang Jinshi arranged for all three ships of tea to be collected, and only one boat of Sun De was given to go to sea, and the remaining two ships were rented in a warehouse for storage.

The price of tea was slowly pushed up to the critical point of 45 Wen, and Fang Jinshi ordered that the price of tea in Sihai Tea House, C-grade loose tea plummeted to below 20 Wen, and other tea products also plummeted.

In this way, the business of Sihai Tea House plummeted, and it was immediately difficult to receive tea, and the guys were all idle, and Fang Jinshi asked people to store what they had received in the warehouse and no longer ship it to Sun De.

When Shi Hao heard this, he ran over and asked, "What are you doing here?" Open a tea house and don't accept tea and sell tea, and you also sell a good brocade line village, I really can't understand it. ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Don't panic, press for another month, let Miyamoto Sizang swallow a little more, we can't receive loose tea in Sihai Tea House, and group tea can still be made." ”

Shi Hao said: "This year is different from previous years, this year there are such a large-scale tea harvest between us and Miyamoto Sizang, the total number of tea produced by Jiangnan tea farmers has not increased, he has collected more, we have less, there is no tea trading, what is it called." ”

Fang Jinshi said disdainfully: "The more he collects, the greater the loss, our decisive battle is not in Jiangnan, but in his hometown of Japan." ”

Shi Hao said: "Could it be that you still want to transport tea to Japan to sell, Jin Guo is waiting for tea every day, but it is far from enough, where is there any excess to be shipped to Japan to sell." ”

Fang Jinshi looked around, then lowered his voice and said: "The Jurchen Jin Kingdom will soon start a war with our dynasty, how can these tea leaves be given to them, now they can transport less and drag them down." ”

Shi Hao said: "Now that the Song and Jin countries have sworn to make good friends, the Jin State has returned to the Youyun Prefectures not long ago, and the envoys have frequent exchanges, and there should be no war within ten years." ”

Fang Jinshi smiled again: "If you don't gamble again, Song Jin will definitely start a war within a year, if you lose, how about worshipping me as a teacher?" ”

Shi Hao said: "Why do you always want me to worship you as a teacher? ”

Fang Jinshi laughed and said: "I can't lose you as a teacher, do you dare to bet this time?" ”

Shi Hao said: "Okay, knowing that you are using the method of agitation, I will fall for you once, and I dare not say more, if you want to say that the two countries will fight within a year, I don't believe it." ”

Fang Jinshi smiled and said, "Then let's go." ”

Shi Hao said: "Where to go?" ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Sun De is unreliable to transport tea to Japan, and we have to rely on King Xiu for this matter, let's go to King Xiu's Mansion to discuss with him." ”

Shi Hao said: "You can go to this kind of thing, King Xiu recommended me to go to the Zhang Governor's Mansion in Hejian Mansion last time, but I refused, he was very unhappy, and scolded a few words." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "I have also been scolded, King Xiu scolded him, brushed his kindness, he will not hold a grudge, if this is the case, he will hide and see, it will inevitably chill King Xiu's heart." Shi Hao thought about it, so he agreed to go with him to see King Xiu.

Fang Jinshi deliberately went home with the golden cotton, galloped all the way, and came to the Xiuwang Mansion.

The housekeeper reported in, and after a short time, they were passed in, Xiuwang Zhao Zizhi met them in the study, after the two sides said politely, they offered fragrant tea, Fang Jinshi said the intention, Zhao Ziwei pondered for a moment and said: "It stands to reason that the tea business in Japan is run by myself, although the shop is not too much, but the profit is still possible, for your sake, I will help you once." ”

Fang Jinshi said with a smile: "It turns out that my face is so useful here in Gongziye, Gongzi can rest assured, I defeated the Japanese merchants who harmed the people with black hearts, and I will return the Japanese tea market to you when I go back." ”

Zhao Zizhen said: "What are you going to do?" ”

Fang Jinshi pretended to be mysterious and said: "This can't be said for the time being, everything is still being prepared, when the time comes, I will also teach the master." ”

Zhao Zizhi laughed and said: "When can you change this habit of showing off when you meet people, you will suffer a lot less." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "I just like to talk nonsense in front of real friends, it shouldn't be publicity." ”

Zhao Zizhi said: "Being able to get things done, and publicizing them also proves that you are capable." Fang Jinshi smiled silently, Zhao Zizhi smiled and said: "I have always felt that the third brother of Yun Wang Zhao and Cai Juma sold tea, cloth and goods to the Jurchens, something is inappropriate, the Jurchens are greedy, and they have not been transformed into kings, they are used to enjoying these good goods, and they will rob us of the money of the Liao State at this time, and they may come to rob them in the future." ”

Shi Hao interjected and asked: "Son, are Jin Guo and my Great Song close or alien now?" ”

Zhao Zizhi said with a worried face: "A group of harmony on the surface, but in fact, the dark tide is surging underneath, the Jurchens are all fighting hard and preparing for the war of southern invasion, and my Great Song Dynasty is also in Youzhou, Hebei Province, with 300,000 soldiers on the road, so I no longer transport goods to the north, I would rather transport them to Japan." ”

Shi Hao said: "300,000 heavy soldiers are guarding Yanyun, and if the Jurchens want to go south, they have to weigh it." ”

Zhao Zizhen said: "300,000 is a lot, but how is it compared to the Liao Dynasty?" The imperial court can be said to be very favored to Guo Yaoshi, pinning its hopes on him alone, if this person has different aspirations, then the northern border defense line of the Great Song Dynasty is in danger, you must know that Guo Yaoshi is a general of the Liao Dynasty, how to make people feel at ease. ”

Fang Jinshi listened to Zhao Zizhi's words on the side, and deeply felt that among the people he saw, there was only this Xiu Wang who could clearly understand the sense of distress, but as a distant relative of the same clan, he had no military power and no authority, and it was also in vain.

Shi Hao said: "Maybe the matter is not as serious as the prince said, Song Liao has held on for more than a hundred years, but Yanzhou is not enough, and the soldiers cannot break Youzhou, although the Jurchens are fierce, but not to mention the more than 300,000 men on the border in Yanyun's Great Song Dynasty, there are still hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops in Bianliang City." ”

Zhao Zizhen said: "I hope so." ”

After drinking a few cups of tea, Zhao Zi said: "Someone sent me a few ink treasures of Mi Fu, a good calligrapher, and gave them to you to appreciate." ”

He said to Huang Jinmian, who was standing far away: "You come over too, and I will send you a few too." ”

Huang Jinmian approached, Zhao Zizhi took a few words from the table and gave them to Shi Hao and Huang Jinmian, Fang Jinshi naturally didn't have it.

Shi Hao looked at it and put it away, he squinted and saw that there were several "sheep" words written on a piece of paper on the table, so he asked Zhao Zizhen: "Why did the prince write a sheep character?" ”

Zhao Zizhi smiled dumbly, and then said: "Last night my wife had a strange dream, she said that she dreamed that a Taoist saw her, stuffed a little sheep into her arms, and said that this was a token, and then it disappeared. ”

Shi Hao said: "This is a token? This Taoist's words are so strange, has the prince unraveled it? ”

Zhao Zizhen said: "I tried to think about it when I had nothing to do, the sheep has always been docile and weak, and there is no quarrel with the world, this person put the sheep into my wife's arms, and my wife is pregnant to give birth. ”

Shi Hao said: "Childe's guess is mostly wrong, dream interpretation is not such a solution as Childe's, I have learned to split words and fortune telling with people for a few days, do you want to listen to me." ”

Zhao Zizhen said: "I wish to hear and see." ”

Shi Hao didn't say it right away, but went to the door first and closed the door, and then turned back and said, "Don't be surprised by what I said. ”

Zhao Zizhen said: "You talk about it, don't sell Guanzi." ”

Shi Hao said: "The sheep can also be read through as the word yang, the yang, the sun also, read the history books all over the next time, but all the emperors who have the talent to become a great cause of the ninety-five venerable, will have the sun into his mother's arms and be born, the first emperor Liu Yu, the emperor Taizu of this dynasty, are all like this." ”

Zhao Zizhi was stunned for a long time, didn't speak for a long time, and said to Shi Hao after a long time: "I'm talking nonsense again, I don't believe it." ”

Shi Hao smiled awkwardly and said: "It's just for fun, but Son, if your wife gives birth to a boy this time, how about recommending herself to be Mr. Enlightenment?" ”

Zhao Zizhi smiled and said: "It's up to you, if it's a son, you will worship under Mr.." ”

He turned his head to Fang Jinshi Jinmian and said, "When you give birth to a son, I will teach you." ”

Huang Jinmian lowered his head slightly, and Fang Jinshi said, "Then it's decided." ”

A few people gossiped again, and Zhao Zizhi, the king of Xiu, left them to eat in the mansion before returning to Pingjiang Mansion together.

In the evening, as soon as Fang Jinshi had dinner, he pulled Huang Jinmian and said: "The prince said that he wanted to be a teacher for my son, let's hurry up and go to Shengfang Xiaoshi, don't let him wait too long to be a teacher." ”

Huang Jinmian said: "He is so busy every day, where does he have time to teach and enlighten, I can teach." ”

Fang Jinshi said with a grimace: "No matter who teaches, I want Mr.'s next son to come out." ”

Huang Jinmian said a little sadly: "Why have I followed you for so long, but I can't give birth?" ”

Fang Jinshi comforted her and said: "Why be so pessimistic, you have only followed me for less than a year, and it will naturally happen after a long time." ”

Huang Jinmian sighed, didn't say anything more, Fang Jinshi said: "Think about it, we have been here in Jiangnan for so long, and we haven't gone back, and sometimes we still worry about Brother Shi and them, I sold Jinxian Village, I don't know if he will complain about me." ”

Huang Jinmian said: "You actually miss her, deliberately take Brother Shi as an example, I can't give birth, you think of her." ”

Fang Jinshi hurriedly laughed and said, "It's said that it's not long enough, besides, didn't she give birth to one for me?" Why should you be careful? ”

Huang Jinmian said: "She is your wife, and it is only natural that you want her." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "It's true that I miss her, but now that she is the only one left in the capital, it is normal for me to worry about it." ”

Huang Jinmian didn't speak for a long time, and after a long time, he said, "When do you want to leave?" ”

Fang Jinshi said: "In the past month or so, I have asked the tea house to stop collecting loose tea, and it happens to be free, and there are some things that need to be talked about with Zhao Sange, so I want to do it as soon as possible." ”

Huang Jinmian said: "Take me back?" ”

Fang Jinshi said: "That's natural, I don't worry about you staying here alone, not only you, but I also want to bring that Qiao Ling'er, and I also want to help her find her brother and mother." ”
