Chapter 288: Promotion and Reward
The first batch of students of the Six Arts School have been studying for five years, some of them have graduated ahead of schedule, entered Pingxian County, and become officials, and there are some really excellent disciples, who are aiming for the imperial examination, including Su Da, Su Er, Zeng Bu, Han Zongwu, Lu Huiqing and so on. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info By the way, three years ago, there was also a pair of uncles and nephews who were admitted to the Six Arts School, the uncle is called Zhang Dun, and the nephew is called Zhang Heng, but the novelty is that the uncle is ten years younger than the nephew.
Of course, in a big family, this is not an uncommon thing, but this Zhang Dunke has a very good story, his father's name is Zhang Yu, when he was young, he was a romantic figure, after marrying a wife and having children, his mother-in-law Yang lost her husband in her early years and often went in and out of her son-in-law's house.
As a result, Zhang Yu and Yang's drummed together, and they were pregnant bloodily, Yang was extremely ashamed and wanted to give up the child in her belly, and something even more bloody happened, Yang's mother, that is, the child's grandmother, desperately protected the child, and actually gave birth to the child, that is, this little uncle Zhang Dun!
Because of his bad background, Zhang Dun's temper is very eccentric, and when he was a child, he fought everywhere, slept in flowers, and did all kinds of bastard things.
But this kid has two things that are very good, one is tall and handsome, he looks good, is he handsome, and he is popular at all times.
Another point, he has an uncle named Zhang Dexiang.
This name has a phase word, and it is indeed the prime minister, when the Qingli New Deal was born, Xia Zhu, Zhang Dexiang, and Jia Changchao, they were the three most fiercely opposed, and they were also one of the culprits who buried the Qingli New Deal.
However, the scholars of the Song Dynasty were very interesting, advocating that the above could be-for-tat, and even kill each other, but it did not prevent them from appreciating each other.
Zhang Dexiang admired Ouyang Xiu and Fan Zhongyan's knowledge, they jointly ran the school, and Zhang Dexiang sent his nephew Zhang Dun and nephew Zhang Heng to the Six Arts Academy.
This pair of uncles and nephews are talented, compared to Da Su and Er Su, they are not far behind, three years of hard work, consciously full of articles, enough to win the Toad Palace.
They finished their studies almost at the same time, and they were not young, so they happened to travel to the capital to increase their knowledge, establish contacts, and make a name for themselves in Shilin, paving the way for the imperial examination in the future.
Dozens of young boys entered Beijing together, and the movement was still not small.
Along the way, the thing they heard the most was the disaster relief in Chenzhou, Wang Ningan relied on the power of the Royal Bank to relieve hundreds of thousands of victims, and it became a beautiful talk for a while.
"Alas, in the past few years, I have just been studying in the school, if I followed Mr., how good it would be!"
Da Su is almost twenty years old, very tall, with a big horse face, very majestic, but he can never change the problem of jumping out, in a group of people, he can't stop.
"Send an envoy to the Khitan, abolish the year's coin, raise your hand, destroy the country, open a copper mine, build a bank for the victims...... If others can do one thing, they can boast for a lifetime, but our husband, but everything is beautiful, it's really amazing! If you want to say that the heroes of this world, Mr. Wang is second to none, and I Su Shi is a little bit behind, so I can only be second. ”
After listening to Su Shi's words, even his younger brother couldn't help but vomit, brother, let's make a face, okay, I admit it, your talent is unparalleled in the world, poetry and songs, it is as easy as drinking cold water, except for that banquet, Wang Ning'an wrote countless lyrics, and the rest of the people's lyrics are not as good as Da Su.
However, if you want to talk about other skills, don't talk about our teacher, even if you are here, there are many people who are better than you!
Lu Huiqing and Zeng Bu were used to Su Shi's escape and were too lazy to argue with him. And they can also see that this is Da Su who is idle and has nothing to do, and wants to stimulate people to raise the bar with him!
They weren't fooled, but someone couldn't stand it.
Zhang Dun rushed to Su Shi's face, "I said Brother Zizhan, you should pay attention to the next time you brag about it, I didn't doubt Mr. Wang's ability before, but after seeing you as a bad disciple, I doubt whether Mr. Wang has real talent and learning." ”
"Zhang Dun!"
Han Zongwu, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, only to see that his face was solemn, and he said unceremoniously: "I advise you, it is best to maintain respect for Mr. Wang." Although you have not listened to his lectures, and you are not considered to be his disciples, the arithmetic you read is written by him. We are all disciples of Sir, if you continue to believe in your words, be careful that I am not welcome! ”
Zhang Dun has an eccentric temperament, often offends people when he speaks, and he brought Wang Ning'an, which was also unintentional. But Han Zongwu's attitude made him a little unbearable, and he was about to argue, Zhang Heng hurriedly said: "Uncle, Senior Brother Han is right, you didn't talk about it a few days ago, you haven't seen Mr. Wang, it's a pity!" ”
Obviously, Zhang Heng gave him a step, but Zhang Dun just hated the Zhang family, so he just said viciously: "Use you to pretend to be a good person!" ”
After finishing speaking, he turned his head, shook off the team, and walked in the front by himself.
……
After a long journey, they finally came to Bianjing.
Standing in front of this majestic city, anyone has a sense of insignificance, and pride arises spontaneously. This is the heart of the Great Song Dynasty, the most prosperous city in the world.
People come and go, traffic is busy, bustling and prosperous, and there is a luxurious atmosphere everywhere.
In the city, what is loyal to the country, what is to help the world, what is to govern the country and level the world...... Ambition keeps popping up, especially young people who come to the capital for the first time, are dazzled.
In the end, Zhang Dun was careful, and he gradually found that on the streets of the capital, every short distance, there was a stall selling copper mirrors.
In front of the stall, there were many people lined up.
The guise was picked out, and it was written that the bronze mirror was 3 runs through one side.
Zhang Dun rubbed his eyes and confirmed again and again, it's really 3 times, this is too cheap!
I remember not long ago, in order to coax a girl, he bought a mirror for 50 strokes, and said it was cheap! Why is the bronze mirror in the capital so cheap?
Seeing Zhang Dun's jaw drop in shock, Han Zongwu sneered: "It's not that the bronze mirror in the capital is cheap, but that the royal bank sells it cheaply." ”
Zhang Dunyi frowned, "Is it the royal bank that Mr. Wang manages?" ”
"That's right, Sir has already accepted 18 money prisons, and as soon as he took office, he persuaded His Majesty to abolish the copper ban and increase the supply. See, overnight, the price of the copper mirror fell by ninety percent! Mr.'s courage is really rare in the world. ”
Su Dabeard also came over and said with a smile: "Zhang Zihou, are you convinced this time?" Bronze mirrors are a must-have for every household, and they shouldn't be sold so expensive! Sir, this is for the welfare of the people, and he has done a great job. I can't wait to meet him and show my respect. ”
Zhang Dun doesn't worship Wang Ning'an as much as these two little fans, he looked carefully, and after a while, he sold three bronze mirrors, according to this trend, I'm afraid that hundreds of noodles a day are not enough to sell, counting all the shop stalls, I'm afraid that the capital will sell tens of thousands of copper mirrors a day, is there so much inventory?
Even if the copper of Jiaozhi comes, you can't play like this, if it is him, he will definitely slowly lower the price of copper, step by step, as the so-called slow thing is round.
Crazy selling like this, in case the supply can't keep up, wouldn't it be a waste of all the previous efforts!
From this point of view, Wang Ningan's ability is also commonplace, and he must have been exaggerated by others.
Zhang Dunxue was smart, he just thought about it in his heart and didn't say it.
……
"My lord, in the past few days, a total of 50,000 bronze mirrors have been thrown." Han Wei reported.
Wang Ningan nodded, "How is the speed, is the supply still enough?" ”
"Except for the first day I bought 20,000 noodles, the remaining days did not exceed 10,000 noodles, and yesterday only 7,600 noodles were sold."
Han Wei said: "We have 150,000 stocks in our hands, enough to support half a month, 100,000 copper mirrors have been shipped from Raozhou, and there are bronze mirrors in Huzhou, Yingtian and other places to send them to Beijing." We also ordered the craftsmen of the money prison to speed up the production, and the supply is sufficient for the time being. ”
Wang Ningan nodded, "What about the copper price on the market, has it come down?" ”
"It's down!"
Han Wei took out the statistics, the copper price in the capital has fallen by 30% in the past few days, but now the heart of reluctance to sell is serious, and many people are holding the copper material and are unwilling to sell it.
"Now is the time to compete." Wang Ningan said lightly: "As long as they continue to sell, they can't bear it, and the copper price will dive all the way and return to the normal price, and we will correct the distortion!" ”
Han Wei sighed with emotion: "The courage of adults is indeed extraordinary. In the past, who would have thought that the lifting of the copper ban would eliminate the money shortage, and the adults would do the opposite, which is really clever. ”
"It's not time to drink the celebration wine, you continue to stare at the Bianjing Qian Prison, let the craftsmen hurry up, not only the bronze mirror, but also other bronze utensils to sell, I don't believe it, I can't suppress the copper price!"
Since the abolition of the copper ban, it has been a month, the bronze market in the capital is like falling from a high altitude, the price has been falling all the way, taking the most ordinary copper mirror as an example, the lowest price has been less than two.
With the price dropping, the rush to buy has disappeared, and the daily shipment of copper mirrors is only 3,000 pieces, which is still declining rapidly. On the other hand, it is even more gratifying that copper prices have finally collapsed significantly.
Now a pound of copper on the market is less than 1 yuan, and the speed of the decline is definitely beyond everyone's imagination.
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
Zhao Zhen is staring at the secret report of the Imperial City Division every day, the big and small things in the capital can't escape the emperor's eyes, the biggest virtue in the capital is the fall in copper prices, and the newcomers who want to get married no longer have to worry about a copper mirror.
What makes Zhao Zhen even more pleased is that the price of copper has fallen across the board, and the cost of coinage has dropped significantly.
To use an image metaphor, the original Qian Jian was like a dammed lake, filled with water, and when something happened, the government and the opposition were shaken, and they were worried, but now that the water level has come down, it is no longer Mount Tai pressing the top, can Zhao Zhen not be relaxed and happy!
"This Wang Ningan is really a talent, I am right to use him." Zhao Zhen is very happy, Wang Ningan is still holding the official position of Dali Judge, and he is really a little sorry for the hero.
With a stroke of his pen, Zhao Zhen promoted Wang Ningan to Dali Temple, and still sentenced the royal bank.
