Chapter 1035: Wen Xianggong's last hole card
This is a small teahouse, which also sells rotten meat noodles, fire-roasted, steamed dumplings and other foods, because of the real materials, delicious taste, widely acclaimed.
Every morning, before dawn, you can see a large row of workers squatting at the door, holding a large bowl, sucking and eating noodles...... Regardless of winter or summer, when I came to eat noodles, I didn't wake up yet, and when I ate a bowl of noodles, my brain was sweaty, and the whole person was in good spirits, so I was motivated and went to work.
The slightly more elegant people are late after the workers have eaten, and they want a pot of tea, light two fires, a basket of steamed dumplings, and eat them slowly with small pickles, unhurried, full of elegance.
Su Shi these days, half of the time, running in the countryside, and half of the time, sorting things out in the county seat and observing the market...... This teahouse is a must-visit place for him every day.
"A pot of tea, 5 steamed dumplings!" This foodie has a good appetite at all times, and the shopkeeper knows him, so he laughs and says, "Master Ke, have you gone to the countryside again?" ”
Su Shi nodded, and the shopkeeper recommended: "Coincidentally, I just entered some Emei Peak and Pu'er, do you want to try it?" ”
Su Shi was curious, "Shopkeeper, don't you just have flower tea and Longjing?" When did you add new tea? Bring me a pot of Maofeng, it happens to be the tea from my hometown, and I haven't drunk it for many years. ”
The shopkeeper happily agreed, hurried to make tea, and personally delivered it to Su Shi.
Da Su took a sip, quite authentic, and he asked curiously: "Shopkeeper, business is getting better and better?" Want to add more tricks? ”
As soon as he said this, the shopkeeper's face became bitter, and he shook his head again and again.
"Master, let me tell you, life is not good?"
"Oh? How? ”
The shopkeeper was unceremoniously, spitting bitterness, next to the textile factory not far away three days ago, three days ago, when the door was closed, there were still workers to make trouble, and then the yamen came and persuaded the workers to leave...... As soon as the textile mill closed, there were ninety percent fewer customers in the morning.
The shopkeeper lamented, he relied on good quality and low prices here, and what he sold was a quantity.
Without the biggest source of customers, he can only find a way to sell to rich customers and make a little more.
But it is not easy to attract rich people, it is not enough to increase the variety of tea, the teahouse must also be renovated, become elegant and classy, and invite a few more clever guys, preferably a few young and attentive girls.
However, it is not surprising that the decoration costs money, and the future is uncertain, and the shopkeeper's sad face is not surprising.
"Master Ke, I know that you are writing articles, you can speak, you can say a word, you can say a word, you can say a thousand sentences, ten thousand sentences, this day is really difficult, help!"
The shopkeeper's old face was flushed, he was not an easy person to ask for help, but there was no way, it had to be so!
Su Shi was very helpful.
"I can help, but I don't understand yet, isn't that textile factory very good? Why can't it be sustained? ”
When he asked, the shopkeeper lamented even more.
The textile factory turned out to be good, the owner took out 30,000 yuan at the beginning of the year, purchased new equipment, and had to do a big job, the bank had promised to borrow, but just a month ago, suddenly stopped borrowing.
The owner had no choice but to borrow money from everywhere, thinking about getting the equipment back first, and when the output went up, there was naturally a way to repay the money, but his equipment had just arrived, and several of the original customers had canceled their orders because of financial constraints.
The cloth can't be sold, and all the creditors come to the door to ask for it, so what can it do if it's not yellow?
Su Shi listened carefully, the shopkeeper chattered, and talked a lot, the owner of the textile factory is a good person, and when the business was good in the first two years, he also paid the workers an extra month's salary during the New Year.
The surrounding businessmen, no one can compare, but the result is down...... "Fortunately, he is a good person, even if he owes wages, the workers are willing to go home first, if the humanity is poor, hundreds of people, directly rush in, set a fire, really everything is over!" ”
Su Shi was curious, "What, someone set it on fire?" ”
"Why not? Just ten days ago, the timber shops in the east of the city and the grain stores in the south of the city were burned...... The troublemakers were all arrested, and the yamen wanted to try the case, and there were still many people who were not convinced, saying that they did not pay back the wages owed, and that they deserved to burn their conscience and burn it......"
Su Shi's scalp was numb, and it was obvious that the consequences of the financial turmoil had spread to the small county town by raiding Xijing Bank!
"Shopkeeper, how is the situation of the workers now? Will there be a mess? Like what...... Rebel? ”
"Ahh The shopkeeper was so frightened that he exclaimed, he looked around, and no guests came in, he lowered his voice and said with a wry smile: "You know, the common people are the most honest, as long as they have something to eat, they will not rebel...... Now I finally know that the people in the city are not as good as the croppers! ”
……
Just listening to the shopkeeper's story, Da Su still didn't feel like it was enjoyable, he walked around, not to mention, the county was depressed and cold, and the road was full of people who looked hurried.
The most lively is the pawnshop, it is summer, many women hold leather coats, pawn, exchange some money to live...... No one knows how long this crisis will last, and one can only pray that God will open his eyes.
Seeing this, and thinking of a large number of young workers going back in the countryside, Su Shi couldn't help but sigh.
It's still my brother-in-law prescient!
Without the Uniform Land Order, thousands of workers would have nowhere to go, no money in their pockets, no food in their stomachs, no tiles on their heads, and no clothes on their bodies...... It's weird if you don't get up!
The more prosperous, the more vulnerable.
When there was a turmoil, it was the family's one-third of an acre of land that saved his life.
Since five years ago, people have been bringing back many fresh crops from overseas, including potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, peanuts, tobacco, and so on.
Before Wang Ningan became prime minister, he organized several voyages, and finally successfully discovered Oceania and the Inca Empire in the Americas.
At this time, the Inca Empire was still very weak, only a small part of the land around Cusco, and the entire continent was still full of many kingdoms, which can be described as a forest of princes.
In the face of the large number of natives, the navigators from the Great Song Dynasty did not raise butcher knives, but took out exquisite silk, porcelain, and gave mirrors, copper coins, swords and other products to the Inca kings.
The appearance of the Great Song fleet profoundly shocked the semi-barbaric continent, and they found that the guests from afar were very similar in appearance to themselves, and even had some common language.
The scholars of the Great Song Dynasty were also surprised to find that these aborigines retained too many customs of the ancestors of the Han family, and their carvings and characters were quite ancient.
During the exchange, the Incas mentioned that thousands of years ago, their ancestors traveled across the ocean on ships to a strange continent to live and reproduce.
The scholars of the Great Song Dynasty were elated, and they agreed that it was recorded in the history books that after the fall of the Shang Dynasty, there were remnants of the Shang Dynasty who left the fertile land of the Central Plains and went overseas to avoid disasters. Everyone thought it was just a legend, but after discovering the New World, they became more and more convinced that these legends might be true.
The fleet of the Great Song Dynasty invited indigenous representatives to return to their homeland and visit the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty...... About 2 years from Zhiping, there are more and more scholars of the Great Song Dynasty, flying out to the sea, to trace the traces of the remnants of the Shang Dynasty, and more and more indigenous people, come to the Great Song Dynasty, they are soon attracted by the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty, and decided to live and work in the Great Song Dynasty, whether it is true or not, they are very happy to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors...... These natives are called new merchants, and the continent that was discovered is also known as the Yin Shang continent, and some people regard the three lands of North and South America and Oceania as the legendary Three Immortal Mountains, attracting more people to find strange things.
In the process of communication, new crops entered the Great Song Dynasty, and there was no need for fertile land or laborious serving, and the yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes was considerable.
Returning to the countryside from the city, many workers have planted their yards with high-yield crops, no matter what, if you have land, you will not starve to death, just wait, life will always get better.
Wang Ningan insisted on implementing the Juntian Order, but he didn't expect it to be used as soon as he stepped down, so to speak, without the Juntian Order, this time the twists and turns of Xijing Bank would bring a complete disaster!
Although it is also anxious now, there is no need to worry that the people will rebel...... It's just that these can't constitute a reason for Wang Ning'an to let Wen Yanbo go.
He vowed to make Lao Wen pay!
Xue Xiang spoke, he confessed that he was indeed instructed by the king, and the person who instructed him was Cai Qu, Wang Ningan decisively ordered and took down Cai Qu, Cai Qu truthfully confessed, he was on Wang Yan's orders, and did all kinds of things...... But Cai did admit that it was He Zhengchen's idea to make money from Yunzhou.
Who is He Zhengchen? It was the guy who took the lead in impeaching Su Shi in the first place...... As an imperial historian, how could he know the situation in Yunzhou and come up with a clever way to make money?
Under torture, He Zhengchen confessed that he was originally a person of Wen Xianggong, and later took refuge in Wang Anshi's family and wanted to make meritorious contributions, but he happened to get evidence from Wen Jifu that Su Shi wrote poems and satirized the imperial court, so he informed Cai Cheng and wrote a letter of impeachment...... Later, Wen Jifu found him again and revealed the affairs of Yunzhou to him!
Such a complicated case, finally completely figured out, it turned out that from beginning to end, it was all done by Wen Kuanfu, who had been in the court for decades, and Wen Xianggong had encountered the biggest crisis in his life!
"Dad, it's all children who are ignorant and have made big mistakes, and they are willing to take this life to bear the blame, and they will never implicate their father!" Wen Jifu said while crying, heartbroken.
Lao Wen was rare, and he didn't beat him again, "Even if you go to take the blame, you can't get rid of it for your father, so let's go to Wang Ning'an for your father, you should be able to save your life!" ”
Wen Jifu wiped his tears and asked stupidly, "Dad, can Wang Ningan agree?" What hole cards do you have? ”
Wen Yanbo squeezed out a smile, he took out an equity paperwork, pressed it on the table, and said in amazement: "Well, that's it!" ”
