Of course, Chen Yuan knew this reason, and continued to agitate: "The emperor is very strict about the transactions on the road, because he is afraid that we will fund the enemy country!" In fact, everyone is doing business, and we can't talk about which one to subsidize, as long as whoever gives the price is high, we sell goods to whom, which is normal. ”

Speaking of this, those merchants nodded secretly, which obviously resonated with them.

But the emperor didn't think so. There's no way, we just rely on his old man's food to eat, and we'll wait to do it as soon as the holy decree is made! Let's do the math, how much money have we lost over the years? Can you count it? If nothing else, the restrictions on cloth, grain, and iron tools alone make you lose a lot of money every year, right? ”

No one answered, but several people's mouths wanted to squirm, Chen Yuan continued: "Those sitting here are all business seniors from Bianjing, and even the entire Great Song Dynasty, I think, if we don't work hard to change this situation, I'm afraid it will always be like this in the future!" The personal thought of the younger generation is, what if we change the image of us in the emperor's mind? For example, we told him that we support the Great Song Dynasty and support the Son of Heaven of the Great Song Dynasty! If someone wants to go against Da Song, we will not hesitate to help Da Song! I think if we let the emperor understand this, it will be impossible to completely let go of the transaction, but as long as it is a little looser, it will be good for us. ”

Time passed in silence for a long time, and Ma Chang finally said: "What Shopkeeper Chen said is reasonable. But if we invest money into the army, if this fails to impress the emperor but arouses his suspicion, this is not very good, the so-called king's heart is unpredictable! ”

This worry is also the biggest psychological obstacle for everyone now. Their eyes all looked at Chen Yuan, and the meaning was very clear, if Chen Yuan, the master of the horse, was willing to come forward, they could take the money out!

Early-of-the-envelope? It is a dangerous thing to get ahead, but because of the danger, the person who comes out gets much more profit than others!

Chen Yuan smiled: "Okay, I'll go and talk to the emperor." ”

That's it. The wool that had just been plucked from Liao's body turned into a bright sword in a blink of an eye after a turn of his hand, and a new game was about to begin.

Chen Yuan believes that he has won the "sheep pulling" game, and if this game achieves the goal again, those businessmen will unite around him in the future, and they will be his first team!

At that time, I wanted to set up a chamber of commerce, a chamber of commerce that could tie these people together!

In the future, no matter in the officialdom or on the battlefield, no matter what they do, they will firmly provide financial assistance for themselves! Even if they are working against Renzong, as long as there is profit, they will definitely dare to support themselves!

Bai Yutang, who had just sent these merchants away, who had not seen him for a long time, came with Yan Chasan, and Chen Yuan was very happy to see them: "Yutang, Chasan, when did you two come back?" I went to look for you a few days ago, and Master Zhan said that you had gone to handle the case. ”

Busy welcoming the two into the house, Yan Chasan sat down and said, "Brother Chen, I've been very busy lately, and I haven't been able to come to visit, so I really don't want to go, please don't mind the rudeness." ”

Chen Yuan said: "If you say this, you will see the outside! Our brothers are not outsiders, by the way, what have you been busy with lately? The wind blowing in the court didn't blow you, did it? ”

Yan Chasan smiled: "I've been investigating the affairs of King Xiangyang for a while, and I just returned to Bianjing yesterday, so that matter has nothing to do with me." ”

Chen Yuan frowned, King Xiangyang? It seems that Bai Yutang died in his iron net array, and ended up with an incomplete corpse! Yan Chasan has already started to check on him?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help muttering: "King Xiangyang? ”

Bai Yutang said: "Shimei, I don't know if I don't check this, I have been secretly visiting Xiangyang for more than a month, and the crime of King Xiangyang can be described as a book!" This person is definitely a big scourge of the Great Song Dynasty! ”

Chen Yuan looked at them: "In this case, you should play the emperor and punish him." ”

Yan Chasan smiled bitterly: "It's not that simple! When I helped Mr. Bao handle the case before, I saw that he was so handy in handling things. But this time, Lord Bao handed over the affairs of King Xiangyang to me, and only then did I know how many difficulties there were. Don't say anything else, just talk about the identity of the king of Xiangyang! Like Chai Yang, he has a Danshu iron coupon, which is exempt from death for capital crimes and punishment for living crimes! If you can't find evidence to punish him for a felony, you can't help him at all! ”

Bai Yutang took a sip of tea, and then threw the teacup on the table: "If you want me to say Chasan, it's too steady!" The evidence of his incrimination is all in the tower, you let me in, and I promise to do all the things for you in one night! ”

"Never!"

"You must not enter the Tower!"

Chen Yuan and Yan Chasan said almost in unison, and as soon as the words fell, both of them were a little stunned and glanced at each other.

Bai Yutang was even more stunned by what they said, and looked at Chen Yuan with straight eyes: "What? You look down on me too? ”

Chen Yuan secretly said in his heart, you kid should have died in Chongxiao Tower, how can you make me look up to you? However, Bai Yutang's surname is soft and not hard, if he says so, he has to try it!

Chen Yuan immediately said: "I fully believe that you can steal things out of it!" But what you stole is what you stole is what you stole it, and people shook their heads and said that this thing belonged to your Bai Yutang, how do you explain it? ”

Bai Yutang was very frustrated after hearing this: "This doesn't work, that's not good, Chasan has been in Xiangyang for half a year, and there is still no progress at all, is it difficult to let Chasan live where in this life?" ”

Chen Yuan didn't answer, and Yan Chasan did sigh: "Yutang, you listen to my arrangement!" Trust me to do it! ”

The three of them didn't know what to say for a while, and after a while, Yan Chasan slapped his head: "Look at my head, I almost forgot about business!" Shimei, on the second day of the first month of next month, is my son's first birthday, I must come! ”

Chen Yuan was stunned: "You have a son?" ”

Yan Chasan sneered and said, "I wanted to invite you to last year's full moon wine, but you went to Liaoguo." This year, you definitely don't want to go again! ”

Chen Yuan nodded busily: "That's nature!" ”

Yan Chasan has a son? And they're all one year old! Chen Yuan's question was very inappropriate, but he was really shocked when he heard the news!

Thinking about it, it has been more than two years since I came here, and the last time Chen Shimei came to catch the exam, and now the new batch of students who are rushing to take the exam have already stayed in the inn. That's how it is, looking back, it's always fast.

With a sigh, Chen Yuan felt as if he had achieved nothing in the past two years to hide from the guillotine! Failure, really failure!

Knowing failure, we must learn from failure and face the future bravely!

So Chen Yuan quickly found an opportunity to see Renzong again.

"What? You say those businessmen are willing to sponsor military funds? This news really surprised Renzong, in his mind, businessmen are a mercenary group, and it is impossible for this kind of person to make a loss-making business. So when Chen Yuan said it, Renzong expressed doubts.

Chen Yuan said: "Long live, these are some friends I knew when I used to do business, they know the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty, and they also know that if the war situation is unfavorable, the situation of my Great Song Dynasty is not optimistic, so they are all willing to help the Great Song Dynasty and serve the emperor." ”

Renzong is really short of money right now! Those people in the south who rebelled need money to pacify, to provide relief, to pacify. The food and drink of 700,000 soldiers in the north also made the treasury like water. He was thinking about where he could save some money when Chen Yuan came.

So despite his doubts, Renzong still asked, "How much are they willing to donate each?" ”

Chen Yuan shook his head: "This, they didn't say." However, the shopkeeper of the car dealership Xu has already said that if he transports supplies for the Great Song army, his convoy can only charge a horse fodder money, or even take nothing! The shopkeeper of the cloth village also said that if the soldier was short of clothes, he could take out all the stocks of the cloth village, and as for the price, the official said one, and he would never say two. ”

Renzong nodded: "Yes, even if they have some conscience, this can save me a lot." But I still hope they can donate some real money. Chen Shimei, you are not an outsider, I am worried about money now, if you can do this well, I will be rewarded. ”

Chen Yuan was busy thanking: "Long live, Weichen doesn't dare to ask for any reward." In fact, those merchants are also merchants of the Great Song Dynasty, although they usually like to take advantage of some small advantages, but they can still distinguish clearly when it is critical. Long live rest assured, Weichen said yesterday that he made a simple calculation, and he should be able to make up enough cash for one million. ”

Chen Yuan didn't say much, because he knew that if he said two million and only took out one and a half million in the end, Renzong would be a little disappointed. If you say one million and finally take out one and a half million, it will be a surprise for Renzong.

Renzong sighed, one million runs, there are a lot of party items in Liao, enough for them to fight for several years. But in the Great Song Dynasty, it is estimated that it would be good to be able to maintain the expenses of the front-line troops for a month.

But with this million, it is much easier to pacify those who are affected. You can invest this money in the victims first. This is also one of the more benevolent places of Renzong, although he is a little cowardly to the outside, but he is really a good emperor who cares about the people's livelihood!

His external cowardice also comes entirely from disbelief in his fists.

So Renzong still said: "This way, if they can really make up enough for a million and help me as promised, I won't treat them badly." ”

The status of merchants in the Song Dynasty was very low, and Renzong gave a promise that was already very good, and the topic was settled. As for how not to be treated badly in the future, it depends on Chen Yuan to fight for it, and it depends on the performance of the businessmen in this war, as well as Renzong's mood.

"Shimei, I heard that you and Zeng Gongliang have done a very good job, and now they have developed a lot of weapons, and they have also armed a personal army of more than 200 people for the Yang family?"

Chen Yuan had a wry smile on his face: "Long live, how many weapons Zeng Gongliang has researched and the ministers really don't know, I just give them money, and they just want money when they look for me!" However, I know that those personal soldiers of the Yang family were armed by Zeng Gongliang with new armor and weapons, and then equipped with new crossbow arrows, under the leadership of Yang Wenguang, they actually defeated the personal soldiers led by Huo Shuai and Marshal Mu! It's really amazing! ”

Zeng Gongliang had already reported this matter to Renzong, but when Chen Yuan said it again, a light flashed in Renzong's eyes, and he was very excited!

That's not a good thing! Chen Yuan knew that what Renzong lacked was the confidence to win against his opponent, and he pinned all his hopes on this batch of new weapons and the new army that was about to be armed with new weapons!

No matter what happens, your hopes are too high, and there will always be some disappointment.
