Before Shen Kuo entered the door, Wang described him as a man who knew everything about astronomy and geography, and he was simply an omniscient god. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Su Xiaomei secretly thought, what kind of person should this be? She knew that it was her husband who praised herself for saying the right thing. was slapped by Shen Kuo like this, and the little sister burst out laughing.

Wang Bei hurriedly introduced the two, and Shen Kuo saw that Su Xiaomei was not an outsider, so he pulled the arm next to the king and said, "You kid, what did we say when we were in the capital at that time?" ”

"How?" Wang was stunned for a moment, "You said you came to see me in two days, and you waited for more than a year~" Shen Kuo complained.

The king was startled, why can't this be sung? However, he also remembered that he had said before going south for the first time: wait for him to pass through Yangzhou to see Shen Kuo, but that time he went inland and did not pass through Yangzhou. So Shen Kuo's complaint is not unreasonable. He smiled and said, "Brother Shen, don't come to harm, I see that you are tossing new things, and I guess you don't have time to think of me." Haha" he pointed to the armillary spheres, leaky pots, furniture and other things in Shen Kuo's study.

Shen Kuo touched these objects that he had carefully modified, "I have been thinking about these things all my life, and this problem can't be changed." Aren't you the same? I've heard that you've changed all the dragon beds and dragon chairs in the Holy Heavens. You're better than me?! Ha ha! He smiled and said, "Brother Xian~, you see that you didn't notify me in advance of this happy event, and I didn't prepare a congratulatory gift, so ...... Look at the objects here, what do you like, I'll give it to you~"

Su Xiaomei snickered silently, thinking that Wang had praised this person for a long time, and she thought that she was the same as her father-in-law, not to mention her outstanding talent, at least she was also a scholar and scholar. At this meeting, I saw that Shen Kuo was honest and honest, round and round, and he was a little bit like a scholar, and he spoke very aggressively. As soon as I said that this congratulatory gift was even more interesting, others were afraid that the king would not be able to see the gold and silver next to the king, and this Shen Kuo took this small thing that he had restructured as a congratulatory gift, which was inevitably a little childish.

Her little caution escaped from Wang Bian's eyes, and Wang Bian pointed to this set of Yan Ji and said to Shen Kuo: "These are Brother Shen's hard work, and you rarely give them to others, this is a generous gift." Now I want to buy a house here, and open a bank branch, I think this combination of furniture is good, my wife also likes it, why don't you give him to me? ”

Shen Kuo frowned: "Combined furniture? He suddenly realized the group of swallows that the king said next to him: "Oh~! You said it's it, brother, you really have good eyesight, and you chose something that I didn't make! ~”

As soon as the words fell, Su Xiaomei couldn't help laughing. The king listened and laughed. "Oh? Is there anyone more ingenious than Brother Shen? ”

Shen Kuo said with a little seriousness: "Although I heard that you were flattering me, I was still very pleased, haha." The three of them laughed together, and Shen Kuo asked, "What is my brother coming to Yangzhou for this time?" What bank branch did you say you wanted to open in Yangzhou? What is a bank? And I just heard from the guards that the king of Zhennan is here. What's going on here? "This Shen Kuo is not as well-informed as a county order of Gaoyou, which shows that most of his usual thoughts are spent on research.

Wang Fang told Shen Kuo about his first trip to the south and the fact that he was crowned king after returning to Beijing, as well as opening a bank in the capital. Shen Kuo nodded while listening, his facial features were surprised and happy for a while, and all his expressions were written on his face. In the end, Wang Bei told Shen Kuo that he came to Yangzhou this time to learn about the situation here, and when he settled down in Yongzhou, he sent people to do a bank branch in Yangzhou.

After hearing this, Shen Kuo asked, "So how many days is my brother going to stay in Yangzhou?" ”

"Exactly, opening a bank is not a trivial matter, I still have to bother Brother Shen for something!"

"Hey, you're the king of Zhennan now, what can you bother me about?" Shen Kuo pursed his lips and said.

Wang next to the smile slightly: "Brother Shen is now the division of Yangzhou to join the army, I came out of the capital to inquire, the prefect of Yangzhou, I am not very familiar with the general judgment, and I am tired of Brother Shen to introduce on my behalf." ”

"Look at you, you are now the prince, who do you want to see? But, according to me, you should also meet them. After all, they preside over the place. But I've just heard about your bank's business, and I think there's one person you must meet. ”

"Who?"

"Li Gefei, the son-in-law of the current prime minister?!"

When Wang heard Li Gefei, he left and asked in surprise: "Uncle Wen is also in Yangzhou?" What is his position? ”

Li Gefei is very familiar with Wang Bi, he is not only his father's student, but also his friend. And in addition to Li Gefei being the son-in-law of Prime Minister Wang Qi, Wang also knew that Li Gefei would give birth to a daughter, that is, Li Qingzhao, a famous talented woman in the Song Dynasty. He and Li Gefei hadn't seen each other for several years, but they didn't expect to meet in Yangzhou.

"I know that you must be familiar with him, he is not in Yangzhou now, but he is in charge of Huainan East Road."

Wang Pan now has a very good understanding of the local administrative divisions of the Song Dynasty, and he knows that the Song Dynasty basically has a two-level system, that is, the government, the prefecture, the army, and the prison are the first level, and the county is the first level. The magistrates of the Song Dynasty were all appointed by the central officials to "know xx things", and the senior officials were called "judge xx things". With the state as the standard unit, it is mostly called "knowing x state military state affairs". Zhizhou is also in charge of the Xiangjun as usual. In addition to Zhizhou, each state has a "general judgment", whose status is similar to that of the Sui Dynasty. Documents issued at the state level must be signed by a general judgment before they can take effect. The purpose is to implicate the power of Zhizhou.

Therefore, if Wang Pan wants to run a bank, he must have the support of the prefect and the general judge, who have deterrent power in the local area, but there is a large area above the local area, called the "road". The institutions and officials at the road level include the superintendent and the commander. Since Shen Kuo said that although Li Gefei was not in Yangzhou, he was in charge of the affairs of Huainan East Road, he was overjoyed and asked, "Where is he now?" What is the supervisor? ”

Shen Kuo said: "He is not far away, and he will come to Yangzhou in the next few days!" You are looking for him to be the one in charge, and now he is in Caosi, and he is the transfer envoy of Huainan East Road. (Cao Si is the transfer department, the chief is called the transfer envoy, responsible for the financial endowment and supervision along the way) even the prefect and the general judge have to look at his face. ”

The king smiled beside him, since ancient times, officials have crushed people to death, not to mention the differences between the local and central governments. Laughing even more, no matter ancient or modern, what you want to do is nothing more than a network. Although he didn't have any outstanding projects in his previous life, he worked hard in the business field and had already seen this relationship network thoroughly. Not to mention that he traveled to the Song Dynasty and gave himself such a good identity. When I first came to the Song Dynasty, I was young, but I made a bunch of friends, and now these people are slowly getting up, and they will all become the mainstay of the court in the future.

Seeing that Wang was not in a hurry to leave, Shen Kuo hurriedly arranged a place for Wang to live, and personally went to ask the prefect and the general judge to come and see him. Later that day, Shen Kuo sent someone to Wang's lodging again, inviting Wang to come to the mansion to talk about it, and said that the Yangzhou prefect and the general judge had also arrived.

I want to socialize again, Su Xiaomei asked Wang Bi to eat less wine, and Wang Bi smiled: "This kind of entertainment is inexhaustible, although Li Gefei is the main Cao Si, but the local people are absolutely indiscriminate." ”

The back house of the Yangzhou government has courtyards of different sizes, and the officials of the Song Dynasty will have official residences wherever they go, and the official residences of Yangzhou officials of all sizes are in the courtyard groups behind the government offices. Wang walked through the courtyard and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, compared with the solemn and luxurious buildings in the capital, the courtyard garden in Yangzhou was a little more delicate and meticulous. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty went down to Yangzhou three times for the opening of the canal, although Yangzhou in the Song Dynasty experienced war, but still saw the pavilions and stars cloth, and the embankment willows were like smoke. The halls, pavilions, and tower bridges near and far are bright and dark under the shade of willow trees. It shows the deep and chic nature of the courtyard.

When the king entered the mansion, someone had already heard that the king of Zhennan was coming. The Yangzhou prefect and the general judge in the room came out of the hall to greet him, and when he saw the king stepping into the courtyard, Shen Kuo greeted: "Come, the king of Zhennan, I will introduce you to ......" He said and pointed to an old man: "This is our Yangzhou prefect" The old man is not sixty or seventy years old, but his identity is limited, and when he sees this young man in his early twenties next to the king, he also has to bow down and give a salute. "Xiaguan Husu"

Wang was busy supporting him: "Governor Hu's mansion is exempt from courtesy" said in his mouth, but he thought in his heart, why hasn't he retired at such an old age?

Shen Kuo introduced another person to the king: "This is the general judgment of Yangzhou." ”

The general judge, who was forty or fifty years old, also bowed his hand to the king and said, "Under the king Gongchen"

The king looked at this Wang Gongchen and thought to himself, I know this person?! If this person is sentenced by Yangzhou, things may not be easy to do in the future. This Wang Gongchen used to be a bachelor of Hanlin and also acted as the third envoy. But talking and doing things is always not liked by Renzong, for example, when Renzong wanted to implement the "Qingli New Deal" during his reign, this Wang Gongchen was the most active opponent. Later, his friends Li Zhang, the Hunan transit judge, and Ren Yuan, the governor of Tanzhou, forcibly bought the merchant's jewelry at a cheap price, and after the crime was revealed, he was arrested, and Wang Gongchen bribed all the jewelry to the harem, and finally was impeached, and now he is a general judge in the local government. Although it is also the right to control a state, how can it be compared to the Beijing official? It's just that Wang Pan thought that this person was so resistant to the "Qingli New Deal", I don't know if his thinking will change after so many years?

The four of them entered the hall, a spacious hall, and a reception table was placed in the middle of the hall, and the table was placed with a prepared banquet. They invited the king to take a seat, and after they sat down, they were polite to each other. Hearing that Wang Bi planned to open a bank in Yangzhou, the prefect Hu Su and the general judge Wang Gongchen both read the will, and said in unison: "This is a good thing, if the prince needs to do something, he will definitely not give up." ”

Wang raised his glass and said, "In the future, please take care of your colleagues." ”

Everyone laughed and drank, and Shen Kuo said: "Lord Wang, you should ask these two to take care of it more, and I will return to the capital after dealing with the case in hand." ”

At this time, the atmosphere at the banquet was no longer so formal, Wang Gongchen turned his head to Shen Kuo and asked, "Why hasn't the case in your hand been tried yet?" I'm waiting for you to bring a letter to my brother-in-law. ”

Shen Kuo laughed and said, "That case is a bit tricky, who do you send the letter to?" Your brother-in-law? Isn't that your brother-in-law? ”

"My brother-in-law~!" Wang Gongchen insisted again.

Shen Kuo looked at the king's side: "Lord Wang, you cut it off first, is this drunkard Wang Tong's brother-in-law or brother-in-law?" ”

When Wang heard that there was still something about Ouyang Xiu here, but seeing that even the prefect lowered his head and smiled, Wang Gongchen was even more proud of his own smile. While laughing, he said, "The old son-in-law is the new son-in-law; Treat his aunt and aunt. ”
