According to the prior agreement, the next schedule Hao County Commander brought Mr. to see the king, and when he saw the king, he couldn't help but sigh, this Song Dynasty is really capable. The scholar in front of him turned out to be about the same age as himself.

This person's name is Wang Yansuo, the word Yanlin, and the name is Qingping. He is already a genius of Xie Yuan, Hui Yuan, and Lian Zhong. This year, there was a scientific examination that planned to go to Beijing to catch the exam, but this person was different from ordinary people, but he disdained to study hard, but put down the matter of books and took this opportunity to walk around.

Wang Yansuo walked to this Jincheng County, and just saw the county government post a notice to recruit Mr., Cheng Hao also thought he was young at first, but he also felt erudite after a conversation. Staying here for a month or two, I usually heard Cheng Hao talk about the king, and I had the heart to make friends, so I specially asked the adults to introduce me.

Wang next to this Wang Yansuo is the same age, since the two of them talked happily at first sight, and made an appointment to meet again when they took the exam in the autumn.

During the banquet, Wang next to Cheng Hao asked Cheng Hao about this week's dock. Cheng Hao said: "This week's dock is also a large local household, famous for specializing in shipbuilding, and earlier gave the royal special warship, the only one up and down the Yellow River, occupying the right time and place. In recent years, cruise ships and merchant ships have been renovated, but the person in charge is no longer surnamed Zhou. ”

The king asked, "Why is that?" ”

Cheng Hao and the three chatted while eating and drinking, and Cheng Hao continued: "This family has a lot of money, but there is no blessing to have children to inherit, only two daughters, the eldest daughter recruits her son-in-law Jiao Deyou, and now the old man of the Zhou family has passed away, and the internal and external affairs are handled by this Jiao Gong." ”

Wang Jian nodded and said, "I originally wanted to find this dock to make a merchant ship, but I didn't expect to send it not only immediately, but also send another one. I don't know where it is and for the sake. ”

Cheng Hao said with a smile: "I heard that the second daughter is still waiting to be married, why don't you send a dowry first and then recruit a husband?" ”

Wang Bi shook his head, this stroke is too big, isn't it that these two young ladies really can't get married? Besides, I don't know his family, so I wouldn't do this. ”

Wang Yansuo said: "If not, it is already famous now, and I have heard of it before, let alone such a big move here. ”

Cheng Hao also shook his head, "I don't think it's like it, this is such a heavy object sent directly, if there is no virtuous brother, it is better to be cautious."

The king toasted beside him and said, "Brother Bochun, my worth will not be more than four thousand taels of silver." ”

Wang saw Cheng Hao, Wang Yansuo and the others didn't know what medicine was sold in this Jiao Deyou gourd, and thought to themselves: If you buy this ship, it will cost almost two thousand taels, not to mention the toss in Jincheng, even if you don't toss, you have to exhaust your family property.

But then again, I'd rather let people die than be scared to death! The soldiers are coming, just go and see what is going on tomorrow.

He raised his glass again and said, "After I have dealt with the affairs of the ship, I will load the ship and set off. ”

Cheng Hao replied: "The weather has just warmed, if you don't have a brother and transport coal back to the capital, can you sell it?" ”

The king said, "I'm just afraid that supply will exceed demand." ”

Cheng Hao said with a smile: "You often make amazing moves, let's see how your coal can be sold in short supply when the weather is warm." The king laughed and said to himself, "What is so difficult about this?"

Wang Fang didn't know that during the time he was not in the capital, something happened in the capital, and he wanted to say that there was a cause for it. There was once a guest of Zhao Zongshi, who reported to Zhao Zongshi that a young woman had gone to Lord Ouyang Xiu and asked Lord Ouyang Xiu to intercede for Lord Di Qing.

This young woman is Yuexia, and then Yuexia was placed under house arrest in Pu Di, Zhao Zongshi held a funeral for his biological father, and Yuexia escaped from Pu Di while he was in chaos. It's been more than a year since this happened, and Zhao Zongshi has forgotten about it.

Grandpa Zhao is not three wives and four concubines, and the Gao family, whom he married to the emperor, is also a childhood sweetheart, and he has a deep relationship and no other maids. Even after he became the emperor, he was "left and right." "I grabbed the moon that day to find out the relationship between her and Di Qing. In addition, of course, the moon is beautiful, but Zhao Zongshi is really a little entangled. So Yuexia fled, and it took him a long time to find out, but he didn't go to his heart.

In this world, if you are not afraid of no good things, you are afraid of no good people, such as that doorman. ran to tell the grandfather again that the little woman had reappeared, living in Meyer's house, called Liang Yuexia, and was the daughter of Di Qing.

Zhao Zongshi was annoyed, how could this king be fighting with me everywhere. Today I want to give you a try, and he sent someone to find out that Wang Bei has arrived in Jincheng and is ready to transport coal back to the capital. It happened that he was also building a ship, and he ordered someone to bring a letter to this Jiao Deyou.

He pretended not to know Liang Yuexia's life experience, and still called Liang girl. I had to ask the king about the need for a boat for transportation, and I learned that there was a Liang girl in Meyer's mansion, and she was willing to help the king's business prosper, so she gave a boat in exchange for the Liang girl to enter the mansion.

When he and Yu Danian went to the dock of the Zhou family, he jokingly asked Yu Danian, I heard that there was a second lady in the Zhou house to be married, and I didn't know what the face was. Unexpectedly, Yu Danian said sullenly: "If it is true that the Zhou Mansion intends to recruit a son, then the second young lady will be miserable." ”

Wang Bi knew that he spoke straightly: "Son, my family has a lot of money, and I am a talent, what is there to suffer?" ”

Yu Danian said: "I heard people say that Su Gong is talented and suave, and Wang Gongzi is rich but seems to be demented. ”

The king was stunned: "Where did this come from?" ”

Yu Danian said: "There is only a girl under the moon in the child's heart, and the Rou'er girl is rarely favored by the child, not to mention other women, who are also left out in the cold." ”

Wang Bigang heard that he was unhappy for Rou'er, but it was wrong to listen carefully, Yu Danian didn't want Miss Zhou Jia'er to recruit trouble. So he asked with a smile: "Da Nian, have you seen these two young ladies?" ”

Yu Danian said: "Naturally, I have been to the dock every day, and I have seen it two or three times. The king smiled and said nothing.

The two of them came to the Zhou Mansion on horseback, and the family reported that they waited for a while to lead the two into the mansion. Wang Fang thought in his heart, this Jiao Deyou's shelf is not small, and even the prince of Cheng Hao County knows that he will welcome him when he visits.

When the king went to the door of the hall, he saw a man of about thirty years of age greeting him from the porch. This person is very burly, his body is like He Libo, but he has a round face, his face is as black and red as Li Jian's old man, his eyes are bearded, and his voice is like a bell. ”

Wang Fangxin said nonsense, the shelf was not small, but politely arched his hand and said: "It is here, I came to visit Jiao Gong, and I came in a hurry and bothered." ”

Jiao Deyou invited Wang into the main hall, and the two sat down, and Wang saw Yu Danian standing under the verandah outside the house and looking left and right, and he understood a little more in his heart.

Wang Bian arched his hand and said: "I was going to customize the transport ship like Jiaogong Dock, but I didn't expect it to be delivered so quickly." ”

The bearded Jiao Deyou looked the king up and down and said: "These two ships have been decided by someone a long time ago, but the owner of a ship has paid the deposit for two or three months late, so I can't keep it for him, so naturally the prince will use it first." ”

The king thanked him and said, "The younger brother didn't bring enough silver taels on this trip, and now hand it over to me, and I will also go back to Beijing to get the silver before I can take the ship." ”

Jiao Deyou said: "Silver is not silver, it is not in the way, and you should make a friend." ”

Wang Bei shook his head and said: "Brother, settle the account, Jiao Gong still says a number, and I can go back and prepare." ”

Jiao Deyou said: "If my ship is sold to someone else, how can it be two hundred taels of gold, but the prince is famous, and I will not lose two thousand silver." ”

When the king heard what he said, it was not much different from the budget, so he said: "The ship will go to the dock first, and I will also pay the deposit, and I will pick up the ship when I come back from the capital and pay the full payment." ”

Jiao Deyou smiled: "What's the matter, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape." ”

When the king listened to him, he was very uncomfortable, as if he was overbearing, so he said: "My king has no merit, and the deposit of two hundred taels of silver is not less, and the ship will not be less than one cent if the ship is built within the normal construction time, and I will not lose any of you with the full amount." ”

Jiao Deyou looked at him, but felt that this king was a little different, and seemed to be a little arrogant and said: "You just don't give me a penny, and it's worth it for me to send you this boat, why bother with a high heart." There are also many ways to get to know nobles. ”

Wang smiled beside him: "It's just that Jiao Gong's noble road is too big, and the younger brother can't be controlled." After saying that, he didn't agree with each other, and he stood up and wanted to leave.

Wang Bi really wanted this boat in his heart, but he would rather go a few times in the ox cart than let people be overwhelmed.

Seeing that the king was leaving, Jiao Deyou said, "Wait, there is another boat, do you want it, it was given to you by someone else." ”

Wang Pan wondered in his heart, Jiao Deyou handed Zhao Zongshi's letter to Wang Bian, and Wang Bian realized that this Zhoujia dock was also the door of the imperial court, so it was smooth sailing, whether it was to build a warship or a cargo ship, it was mostly built for the royal family. That's why there is such a family background.

After reading the letter, the king laughed, Jiao Deyou asked, did the prince accept this ship?

Wang said noncommittally, whether Brother Jiao is willing to drink with the boat tonight should be practiced for the younger brother. Jiao Deyou sneered in his heart, your little appearance is very high, it's not that you are afraid that the boat will be expensive and you can't afford it, I heard that someone will send the boat and agree to everything.

However, after thinking about it, if this king received this boat, he would be like a fish in water in the future, and he would not be offended, so he said: "At sunset, I met the prince at the dock of Jinxiang Mansion. ”

Wang got up to say goodbye and returned to the Jin Township Mansion to prepare. When the sun was setting, the king sat down at the bow of the boat behind him and drank with each other.

Seeing that the moon rose into the sky, a bright moon shone on both sides, and more than a dozen people walked from the Jinxiang Mansion like a wharf, each holding a torch. Walking into the pier, the pier is bright.

Wang Bian stood up and looked at Jiao Deyou, Jiao Deyou naturally looked at him, Wang Bian sneered and said, "What Jiao Gong said today, now I will give you an answer." Tell me which one belongs to Grandpa Zhao. ”

Jiao Deyou looked at the serious expression next to the king, and said in his heart that you are a child under twenty, what other tricks can you make, so he pointed to a ship in front of him and said, "That one is." ”

Wang Bei nodded, looked at the boat with a solemn expression, but said to Jiao Deyou: "Do you know Zhao Zongshi, who is Miss Liang talking about?" ”

Jiao Deyou's face was expressionless: "It's probably just the prince's sweetheart, and the prince received this boat, which can be regarded as knowing the current affairs." ”

Wang smiled next to him: "The boat, I accepted it, because I was afraid that Jiao Gong would be embarrassed, but I couldn't agree to what Zhao Zongshi said, I only had practical actions to reply to him." Jiao Deyou was taken aback, Wang Bei's eyes were no longer the young man who was drinking and chatting just now, to an angry male lion, no matter how thick the sky was, Wang Bei waved his hand and roared, "Set fire, burn the ship in front of me!。 ”

With the king's order, more than a dozen villagers jumped on the bow of the boat, threw the torches in their hands towards the mast, the king ordered people to pour oil on it, as soon as it dipped in the fire "bang" it burned, more than a dozen torches were thrown at the same time, and after a while, the wind helped the fire, the gas on the ship was on fire, and the ship's wood crackled and the fire soared into the sky.

Wang Bian will definitely not press this breath, the ship worth two thousand taels of silver was burned by Wang Bian, he was really angry, and he was so angry that he was the crown prince, and the future Emperor Yingzong was on the ship, regardless of the Jiao Deyou around him.

The light of the fire shone on the unruly handsome face beside the king, and a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, a kind of contempt and arrogance, I don't care who you are. My people, what I want to do, never compromise!

Note to this article: The Song Dynasty did not take the noble and the humble as the standard, but the distinction between the virtuous and the virtuous, which was the popular title of the Song people. The nobles are honored as the princes, the sages are honored as the kings, and the others are called you. Gong and zhang are generally called the old man and the elder in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the word zhang is used more.
