Since Feng Manlou got the word, Shen Xiangye is still the first person to call himself a word, in fact, not only does he seem kind, but he still regards himself as an elder.

In the face of such an old man, not to mention how big the official position is, it is not an exaggeration to call himself Xingren at this age.

But he heard Shen Lun continue: "Xingren, do you know how the official family explained when Ben Xiang left Beijing? ”

Feng Manlou hurriedly said modestly and cautiously: "I don't know, please let Xiangye know!" ”

Shen Lun paused, cheered up and said: "The official family said that this Feng Manlou, after listening to Yuan Kan and Yuan Zuo's narratives, he is also a smart person, and it is rare that he is a talent that can be created for the sake of being honest and honest and benefiting one party." ”

Of course, the official family is showing their attitude, and decided to lift Feng Manlou, Feng Manlou is not a dog sitting in a sedan chair, and the person who doesn't know how to lift it hurriedly said: "The official family is so favored, it really makes Wei Chen honestly afraid!" ”

In fact, the real meaning of the official family is probably not what the two princes say, what they think, or Feng Manlou helped the official family get the most deadly and most important content of the covenant, of course, these cannot be said publicly. I had to express my feelings euphemistically.

But I heard Shen Lun say: "The official family said, Yuhang Zhixian Feng Manlou spoke, for the official for one term, for the benefit of one party, it is very true." also asked the imperial court to print this sentence on the newspaper of the palace, so that the officials of the Great Song Dynasty could learn from Xingren. ”

Feng Manlou heard it, how much he could afford to look up to himself, oh, no, it should be said that it was an honor, but it shouldn't be so simple, first give yourself a few dates, and then it's a stick.

Feng Manlou hurriedly asked, "Does the official family have anything else that he hasn't told the prime minister?" After asking this sentence, Feng Manlou felt very reckless, after all, Shen Lun would naturally continue to say what the official family had said.

But I heard Shen Lun say, "Of course there is." The official family said to the prime minister in private, let the prime minister tell Yu Xingren, guard against arrogance and rashness, and do it yourself! ”

Feng Manlou hurriedly said: "Obey the emperor's will!" ”

Shen Lun nodded, this young man is still worth valuing, and he also likes Feng Manlou very much for a while, and said: "The official family also gave the prime minister a task, that is, to see in Yuhang whether Xingren really benefited one party!" ”

Feng Manlou hurriedly said: "Xiaguan will accompany Xiangye to go out for a walk!" ”

Shen Lun hurriedly said: "No need, Xingren, you should go and deal with official business, you will be in the government soon." Go out and take a walk! ”

Feng Manlou knew that this was to be understood privately, and if he was accompanied, he was afraid that he would not be able to hear the real thing and not see the real thing.

At the end of this conversation, Feng Manlou did not disturb Shen Lun very interestingly, Shen Lun finished his breakfast, changed into civilian clothes, called a guard, and prepared to leave.

Shen Lun, formerly known as Shen Yilun, was changed to Shen Lun because he wanted to avoid the secrets of the official family. He was the founder of the Great Song Dynasty. Shen Lun is an official, he has been honest all his life, has lived a simple life, and is cautious in his words and deeds. While the nouveau riche built magnificent new homes, his houses were humble but not repaired. In May of the sixth year of Kaibao, when Song Taizu sent officials and supervisors to build a new house for him according to the design drawings, he still asked for a smaller house to be built.

Moreover, Shen Lun is also more concerned about the suffering of the people, and the "History of the Song Dynasty" records: Shen Lun made Wu Yue pay back, and asked Yang and Si to save more than one million people to borrow money from the hungry people, and it was difficult for the court to discuss it. Lun said: "The country uses corn to help the people, and it should call for peace, so that there will be abundance, how can there be floods and droughts?" "Please, please.

This is the record of Shen Lun in the Jianlong years, when he went to Wu Yue, on the way to see a famine in Yangzhou, Sizhou, Huainan, the hungry people starved to death a lot, after he returned to the court, Song Taizu ordered Huainan to carry out relief.

Shen Lun also has the ability to teach apprentices. Some of them made a living by lecturing and teaching apprentices.

First of all, Shen Xiangye changed into civilian clothes and brought a guard, who looked like an ordinary old man. From the side gate of the yamen, he went out of the county government and arrived at Yuhang Market.

At this moment, Yuhang is also prosperous, after all, it is Wangxian County, with a large population, and business is also prosperous. After walking for a short time, I saw not far away, and I saw stalls selling breakfast, which were crowded and lively.

In front of a stall selling breakfast, Shen Xiangye found a place to sit down, because he had already eaten breakfast in the county office, so he ordered a little casually, just to have a place.

The guard looked very restrained, and Shen Xiangye smiled: "It's okay, you can eat whatever you want, the old man can still afford it!" ”

This guard is not a guard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but a selection from the forbidden army, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous casually, and hurriedly said: "Xiangye, my subordinates are not hungry!" ”

Shen Xiangye smiled: "It's okay! ”

At this time, it was the early rush hour, and the position was relatively tight, and at this time, an old man of about sixty years old sat down on the empty seat at this table.

The guards were about to get up and drive people away, but Shen Lun hurriedly signaled not to make a noise, but asked, "This little brother, dare to ask where you make a living?" ”

The old man saw an old man asking, and he hadn't gone up yet, so he chatted casually: "This old brother, I can't hide it, the old man is old now, he can't pick his shoulders and his hands can't lift it, thanks to his two sons!" ”

When Shen Lun heard this, he asked, "Brother is also idle." Are your sons okay now? ”

The old man smiled and said, "Supposedly, it's pretty good, much better than before." One son works as cement in a lime mine, and the other builds a dam by the river, and the salary is quite good! It's more than enough to support a family! ”

When Shen Lun heard it, what is so rare about this cement? Could it be that there is something peculiar?

Then he asked, "Brother, what is so rare about this cement?" ”

The old man said: "My brother is an outsider, how can the people of Yuhang not know?" This cement is not the water and mud in our fields, but a kind of lime made by our windy people, but it is much better than lime. Now we are building a dam by the river, and according to the old man and his son, the concrete embankment is harder than stone. Therefore, many families have begun to use cement when they repair their houses. ”

When Shen Lun heard this, he was very surprised, so he also became interested, and the old man also had more time, and he chatted with high interest for a while.

When he was out early, he saw the old man take out a few silver tickets, but they were in the denomination of pennies and pennies, and the silver tickets were not big, only a little bigger than a palm.

Shen Lun was even more curious, and after inquiry, he learned that Yu Hang's copper coins are rarely used now, and everyone is used to buying and selling silver tickets, because silver tickets can be exchanged for copper coins at any time.

Shen Lun has been in charge of the finances of the Great Song Dynasty for many years, and when he thought of this, he suddenly became inexplicably excited. If this silver ticket can replace the copper coin, it will be more beneficial.

The Great Song Dynasty was a country lacking copper, and the cost of minting copper coins was relatively high, which was still a relatively high time when casting technology was relatively high. In the Han Dynasty, some people used to sell bronze ware, exchange it for copper coins, and then cast copper coins into copper coins and sell them to make money. It can be seen how high the cost of copper coins is.

After inquiring again, it turned out to be the invention of Huitong Bank Bank, Shen Lun was even more surprised, and after inquiring again, it turned out that this Huitong Bank Bank was the masterpiece of the unmarried lady of Feng Manlou, and it was rumored that it was the silver ticket invented by Lord Feng.

Shen Lun decided that he must go back to Feng Manlou to ask for clarification. Now, what interests Shen Lun even more is the cement. Therefore, I inquired along the way and walked to the river.
