Chapter 779: Great Power Majesty

Zhao Shu is very busy these days, in addition to taking care of Zhao Zhen's daily life every day, he also has to read the folds, deal with government affairs, and the Shengshou Ceremony is really not a small project, the complexity can drive people crazy!

Fortunately, five experienced ministers were brought in, and if they only relied on a few people from the political affairs hall, they would not be able to die of exhaustion.

There are a lot of things, take horse racing and polo...... The venue should be designed, the competition system should also be formulated, there should be norms, it should be widely advertised, when the game is played, there must be a professional referee, and every game, there are thousands of people to watch, what to do if it is hot, what to do if it is cold, what to do if it rains, what to do if there is a fire, what to do if someone disturbs the order...... In all aspects, there must be a plan.

Organizing a huge event is no less than fighting a war, or even more troublesome than fighting!

Because on the battlefield, it is allowed to make mistakes, as long as you make fewer mistakes than the enemy, is it the so-called killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred!

However, if the game fails, no mistakes are allowed, otherwise it will affect the atmosphere of the entire Shengshou.

Wang Ningan wrote a few words casually, and when he arrived in the capital, countless people were busy tossing, which was not an easy thing, and the servants in Luoyang were all tired.

There is no way, these competitions are the most familiar with the Buddha seal, how many years he has been organized in Kaifeng Mansion, he has all kinds of talents, and all kinds of situations have been encountered.

He could only ask Foyin to come forward and give him the title of deputy envoy for the preparation of the competition.

Now the Buddha seal is happy.

The stock market and the bond market were closed, and he was cut off from a financial route.

Although he made money by lending, he was not stable enough after all.

If you can organize the competition smoothly, what will be the big and small activities in the future, and what else can you miss him?

The horse racing competition of Daxiangguo Temple can earn hundreds of thousands of tickets every year, and betting on horses makes even more money. If he can attract all countries to participate together and make the game hot, he won't make a lot of money!

"Master Buddha Yin, two, the first must not lose the face of the Great Song Dynasty, the competition must be fair,—— at least fair on the surface; Second, you can only keep 30 percent, and 70 percent of your income will be used as a life fund. ”

Dogtooth smiled and said: "If you can do it, I'll leave it to you, if you can't do it, I'll ask another master!" ”

Buddha Yin had nothing to say, even if he knew that no one was more suitable than him, he had to pinch his nose and admit it.

"The old man has known you in this life, even if he is unlucky! Yes, yes. ”

"Hahaha." Gouya'er smiled: "I have long known that the master is a smart person, but well, first the villain and then the gentleman, such a big thing, you alone will definitely not work, I will arrange a helper for you." ”

"The prison army is almost the same!" Buddha Yin said angrily: "Which one lacks virtue?" ”

"It's a poor road!"

Behind Gouya'er, a Taoist priest who was like a fairy suddenly turned out, this facial features were hideous, and he rushed towards the Buddha seal.

"Thief, what kind of grudge do I have with you, what kind of grudge! Why are you framing me! If you don't say it, the poor road will fight with you! ”

Who's here?

It was the old god Shao Yong, since he was cheated by Wang Ning'an several times, he swore to stay away from the Wang family, and he ran to Longhu Mountain to cultivate in one go.

How do you know that half of the repair, and suddenly got the news, saying that there are rumors everywhere, he gave Wang Ningan an an order, and calculated a Ming Yi hexagram, saying that Wang Ning'an is getting weaker and is going to be finished!

Shao Yong was almost scared to death, he was hiding, why couldn't he dodge!

Lao Dao didn't take the wrong medicine, what kind of hexagram did I give Wang Ning'an!

Isn't this a basin!

Shao Yong wanted to cry without tears, he was afraid that someone would find him to settle accounts, so he quickly ran away from Longhu Mountain, he didn't even dare to wear a robe, so he could only disguise himself and inquire secretly.

Later, I figured out that someone was manipulating the stock market and wanted to make money.

And it is very likely that it is Wang Ning'an's family, Shao Yong breathed a sigh of relief, he felt that Wang Ning'an owed him a favor again, all swaggered, and came to Xijing, which is a coincidence, not long after arriving in Xijing, he got a good job.

"Buddha Yin, the two of us have no hatred or grudge, you have made me so miserable!"

Buddha Yin was even more wronged, stretched his invisible neck, and argued: "You bull-nosed bully the soft and afraid of the hard, is that a poor monk dare to say that?" ”

"I don't care about the old way, I will recognize you, we are not finished!"

……

Throwing down this pair of living treasures, Dogtooth went to work on something else.

It stands to reason that he didn't officially come out and didn't have to do things, but there were too many things at the moment, even if it was a dog, he had to be sent out to work, and there was no way, and the young master of the dog could only run around.

It was expected that there would be more than 20,000 missions, which was already quite remarkable.

However, before the envoys of various countries officially arrived, the houses in the capital were full, and the inns and restaurants that had been set aside in advance were all occupied, and even the firewood houses were occupied.

No way, this time it's not just Shengshou, it's not just a competition, it's also a trade fair.

When the Sichuan-Shaanxi straight road was repaired, there were many Bashu merchants who came to do business, and this time all the countries gathered, and the merchants of the whole world were alarmed.

From Hebei, Shandong, Lianghuai, Jiangnan, Jinghu, Liangguang...... Merchants from all walks of life came, not empty-handed, and all with the best goods.

Obviously, if you can show your face at the Shengshou ceremony, you will be able to claim that it is a royal toilet in the future, even if it is a royal toilet, the price can increase tenfold.

Merchants came, entertainers from all over the world, singing and dancing, juggling, singing, and playing the harp...... All in all, those who have a little ability are also here.

Originally, it was estimated that there were 350,000 people at most, but now it is only a finger, more than 100,000 people!

If you count the students from all over the world, as well as the people around them, all kinds of people watch the lively ...... It will definitely break through a staggering 200,000!

Today, Luoyang's population has just exceeded 600,000, which is equivalent to one-third more at once!

How much food do you want? How much water and wine do you want?

Vegetables, meat, chickens, ducks, geese, pigs...... All kinds of things, just the bowls, chopsticks, knives and forks for eating, cost hundreds of thousands.

It's a crazy extravaganza.

Even if it goes back five years, Da Song can't afford it.

Holding such a grand event, the treasury will have to spend half a year's money.

But this time it's different because of the stock market...... The concept of the Western Regions was popular before, and this time the concept of Shengshou is here again...... Through the stock market, hundreds of commercial banks and factories have been approved to list and issue shares to raise funds.

With Lu Xu's previous experience of getting rich overnight, many scholars joined in.

There are also businessmen from all over the country who have just entered Beijing, and when they heard that there is such a good thing as the stock market, they have also thrown themselves into it.

A huge amount of money poured into the stock market, which provided ample financing for the commercial bank factories at once.

The inn occupied land in the outer city circle, built guest rooms, placed orders for commercial banks, purchased clothing, food, housing and transportation, and various materials, and the villages and towns around Luoyang were all moved.

They don't have the ability to make a stock, but they can sign an agreement with the commercial house, because as the weather gets colder and colder, Luoyang's vegetable supply will be in trouble, so there is an urgent need to build a greenhouse.

The people of Luoyang have long had experience in planting flowers, and it is not difficult to sprinkle the money to expand the greenhouse and plant vegetables and fruits.

Furniture factories, porcelain workshops all over the country, as well as cement factories and building materials factories, all got amazing orders.

Not to mention anything else, the carpenters in Luoyang alone have more than tripled their salaries because of the serious shortage of workers......

Relying on the power of the imperial court alone, perhaps hollowing out the household department, there is still hope that things can be done well...... But it's definitely not going to be that easy.

The society of the Great Song Dynasty already contained great power...... As long as the wealth is attracted through the financial market, and then the wealth is released by relying on orders...... The whole Da Song is like a machine, running at high speed.

All kinds of required materials are continuously sent to Luoyang, and the efficiency is jaw-dropping!

……

Jia Chang was stunned by these old goods, and Zhao Shu's heart was even more heartbroken, he read it to Zhao Zhen, and he was in a hurry to go to the market to see what happened to the Great Song Dynasty.

"How long do you want to hide from your father?"

Zhao Zhen suddenly sank his face, like the bottom of a black pot, and said, "Isn't it just a birthday?" The matter of a bowl of noodles, as for making the world full of trouble, the people are uneasy, you want to be angry with your father! ”

Zhao Shu stuck out his tongue in fright, "Father...... Both, all of them? ”

"Hmph, I don't know about such a big movement, so it's better to die!" Zhao Zhen may have felt that his tone was too harsh, so he adjusted his tone and said: "Father knows your filial piety, but you shouldn't be so extravagant and wasteful, and your master, he is also blindly coaxing!" ”

Zhao Zhen stretched out his hand, grabbed his son's arm, and said earnestly: "Father doesn't want to die, and he will leave you a big burden!" ”

Zhao Shu's nose was sour, and tears rolled down instantly.

"Father, the child doesn't dare to deceive, not only will he not lose money this time, but he can also increase a lot of taxes?"

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "This is like your master's style!" Then I won't say anything, and let's see how much surprise you can prepare for me! ”

……

Following the Khotanese envoy, it was actually the Khitan envoy who came to Xijing...... This took everyone by surprise.

You must know that since the Battle of Youzhou, the Great Song Dynasty and the Khitan have been like fire and water, and the Song soldiers are eyeing each other, wanting to continue to take back Yunzhou and other places, and the Khitan side is not willing to fail, and is looking for opportunities to retaliate.

This is a pair of life and death enemies, unexpectedly, I heard that Zhao Zhen was preparing for the holy birthday, Yelu Hongji actually sent a delegation of as many as 1,000 people, and appointed Yelu Huage, Xiao Dayou and Xiao Hujian as envoys, carrying generous gifts, to the Great Song Dynasty to celebrate his birthday.

Father Wang has long been secretly playing the imperial court, in fact, there is no need to say anything, everyone understands that for so many years, the envoys of the two sides have been cut off, and the Khitan is eager to know the truth of the Great Song Dynasty, which is to send someone to investigate.

Frankly speaking, along the way, the Khitan mission was very frightened, and after arriving in Xijing, this fear reached its peak!

And voila!

What is that?

Towering buildings, tiled and windows made of large pieces of glass, shine in the sun!

Actually, it's nothing, it's just a seven-story restaurant.

But in the eyes of the envoy of the Liao Kingdom, he is simply a monster! If the Great Song Dynasty could build such a huge building, it would be able to build a taller and stronger city wall.

Alas, after I go back, I must tell Your Majesty not to fight the idea of Youzhou, no number of lives are enough!

At this time, there was a young official from Honglu Temple, who came on horseback, alone, facing the huge Liao State mission, not afraid at all, checked the official document according to the rules, and just said lightly.

"Here, please, your residence is outside the Lijing Gate." With that, he led the way in front and went straight to his lodgings...... Several ministers of the Liao State looked at each other, and they were all a little unconvinced.

In the past, when the envoys of the Liao State came, the Great Song Dynasty had to send people with sufficient status to greet them, but this time there was only one person, and he didn't take the Khitan in his eyes?

Yelu Huage gritted his teeth!

"Let you run rampant, there will be times when you are unlucky!" Although he was ruthless, he had to follow obediently, and he didn't dare to attack at all...... Unconsciously, the national prestige of the Great Song Dynasty is no longer the same! 21010
