Now that the door has been opened, but a new question has jumped into Chen Yuan's head, Renzong has asked himself to be the secretary, this official position is obviously not for a colt and a champion, how is he going to arrange himself?

asked at the moment: "Your Majesty, what about the grass people's fame next year?" ”

Renzong waved his hand: "It's okay if you don't take the test, you have heard the rumors outside this period of time, others say that this year's champion must be yours, this is something I didn't expect, if you go to the test, the top three people will think that I take care of it, so it's better not to take the test." ”

Chen Yuan has naturally heard of this rumor, and he also thinks that when this kind of remarks are flooded in the examination room next year, it is not only an invisible pressure on those candidates, but also an unfairness to Chen Shimei's own talent!

Renzong continued: "The two things I handed over to you today should be regarded as an exam for you. If you can handle it very well, after the matter is done, I will transfer you to the treasury. ”

The identity of the priest to marry the princess is really a bit embarrassing for the royal family, the priest is not an official, it is more appropriate to say that he is an official. Chen Yuan knew that his charge was just a starting point, after all, he was not admitted to the Eight Classics, is his ability convincing? The position of Oshiji is just a platform for him to show his talents.

The Treasury Department is a relatively idle department, and although it also has the title of "Ministry", it cannot be compared with the other six departments in terms of rights and responsibilities. To put it bluntly, he is a person who looks after the emperor, and when the emperor is angry, the treasury can follow with some light, think about where to make some money, and where to put the tribute here.

But the treasury of the Song Dynasty has never been angry, what they think all day long is that they are going to pay protection money to Liao again today, how much is it appropriate to move out? Tomorrow, which state may be going crazy again, what can I give to appease you?

Compared with the six ministries of officials, households, rituals, soldiers, criminals, and workers, even the rank of the chief of the treasury department is smaller. Among all the departments of the entire treasury department, only this Great Song Arsenal barely has a little oil and water. Chen Yuan doesn't care about oil and water, but having oil and water means that he has power and status!

This position is not what Chen Yuan wants, he wants to go to the City Yi Division, or the Ministry Division. But now that Renzong has spoken, even if he is not satisfied and wants to change his position, he must show his merits.

After Chen Yuan received the order, Renzong was also very happy: "You go to Xiangguo to open a famous post, and then go directly to Zeng Gongliang tomorrow." ”

A small priest can take office with Lu Yijian's name. Renzong didn't even need to approve it, just say hello to Lu Yijian and say hello to Zeng Gongliang.

Walking out of the palace, Chen Yuan smiled slightly, and whispered in his mouth: "Oshi." ”

He will remember this position, this is his first position in officialdom, the first position is very important, how well he performs in this is directly related to whether the speed of the future is flying, walking, or climbing.

The cold wind outside was a little cold, the early winter night had already fallen early, Chen Yuan sat in the carriage but did not feel a little chill, and even through the dark night, he seemed to see a light in front of him!

He was ready! Now it's finally begun.

When he returned to the villa, Chen Yuan ushered in an unexpected surprise! Zhang Kuangzheng: They're back! When he went out, Chen Yuan tightened his belt and brought them enough to wrap up, and now he not only brought himself countless ivory, **, agate, etc., which are very precious in the Great Song Dynasty. and a surplus of eight thousand taels of silver.

Hu Yanping first took the disgraced Hu Yanqing and others to the back, while Chen Yuan and the others gathered around the pile of goods that many people had never seen before, talking excitedly.

Zhang Kuangzheng's beard was very messy, obviously he hadn't combed it for a long time, but this didn't affect his mood, after taking a sip of good old wine, there was a hint of red on his somewhat dark face: "Shopkeeper, just this agate, look at this color, and then look at this volume, how much do you estimate it can be sold for in the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Chen Yuan was very knowledgeable, so he took it and looked at it: "A few, thousands of it." ”

Zhang Kuangzheng smiled, stretched out his thumb to Chen Yuan, and then put down the agate carefully: "Then guess again, how much did I spend on it?" ”

Chen Yuan said: "Three hundred? ”

Zhang Kuangzheng stretched out a finger: "Ten taels of silver!" ”

Ten taels of silver, that is, more than a hundred. Only then did Chen Yuan know that shipping was so profitable, and pulling things that were not available in one place was simply profiteering!

Zhang Kuangzheng then took a piece of ivory: "This thing is even more powerful, you look at it now, which ones have been carved, and it is only a few times the profit to come to us, but if you buy it back and ask our own craftsmen to do it, I tell you, if you pull it back and sell it, it will not be the price of silver!" ”

Chen Yuan finally became so rich in the Song Dynasty, this is the same as in the 21st century, relying on advanced technology, and what he earns is the cost of processing!

Agate, ivory and other things, after the hands of the craftsmen of the Song people, the profit immediately increased dozens of times! He looked at the box of white flowers and smiled: "Why, do they use silver to trade there?" ”

Zhang Kuangzheng nodded: "You can also use our Song Dynasty's copper coins, but copper coins are not as convenient as silver, and we have to exchange them with currency, we have traveled all the way to more than ten countries, if you have to exchange money wherever you go, it is really not convenient." They are also inconvenient. ”

Chen Yuan knows that when the economy has reached a monopoly now, silver, a hard currency, has obviously become the first choice in foreign transactions. Something flashed through his head, but it was gone.

"Brother Zhang, it's been hard all the way. What are you going to do next? Chen Yuan looked at Zhang Kuangzheng and asked.

Zhang Kuangzheng also stared at Chen Yuan: "Then it depends on what the shopkeeper's plan is, I just heard that you are going to be a concubine, and the emperor does not allow you to do business?" ”

Chen Yuan shook his head: "Originally, it was like this, but things changed just now." Tomorrow I will go to Lord Xiangguo to issue a name post, and this will be the head of the house. ”

"Oshiji?" Chen Shizhong and the others didn't know anything about this news, so they were very curious when they heard this.

Chen Yuan said: "Yes, the Treasury Department, a small priest in the weapons workshop. ”

Liu Yong's face was quite embarrassed: "Why did you choose such a position?" ”

Chen Yuan didn't say this question again, he knew that Liu Yong must be disappointed, but there was no need to say anything more to him now, it was still the same sentence, the position was poor because this position was given by others. If you want a good position, you have to fight for it yourself!

He changed the topic back and said to Zhang Kuangzheng: "The brothers have worked hard, let them rest for two months, Brother Zhang, you have to go to Guangzhou again, how much money we make, buy as many boats as we want!" ”

Zhang Kuangzheng was very excited to listen to it! He was very afraid that Chen Yuan, like other people in business, would quickly hold the money in his pocket after making some money, so that his sailing plan would not be able to be implemented in his life!

Now that Chen Yuanken has taken out the money to continue to buy boats, then his income should be able to multiply many times next time, and his own boats will be more next time! In a few years, a huge fleet and a group of skilled sailors will be available!

Zhang Kuangzheng hurriedly nodded: "Okay!" Don't worry, I'll do it tomorrow! ”

This guy is obviously too persistent, Chen Yuan grabbed a burden after hearing this, and wrapped hundreds of taels from the box of silver: "Don't be in such a hurry, it's not easy to go back to Bianjing, you take the money, invite the friends you should invite, it's best to buy something to visit Master Bao, and tell him that you are fine." Brother Zhang, no matter what you do, you must have a degree. Although you are much older than your brother, my brother will say a word to you, in this world, there is nothing worth leaving everything behind to pursue! The primary purpose of our existence is to live, and we must try to make ourselves as happy as possible. ”

Zhang Kuangzheng obviously didn't listen at all: "You let me run at sea, I'm already very happy." I don't have any friends in Bianjing, so I'll go see Yang Yi and visit Master Bao again. ”

Chen Yuan was helpless, but as long as he felt happy, it was not a big problem, it was a good thing to like running boats and sailing, and he had no reason to stop it. Although he is a little addicted, it is much better than those sons who are addicted to fireworks and willow lane.

These ships of goods arrived just in time, and Chen Yuan was preparing to bring those merchants again. Liao's wool is almost over, and he feels that he is a little uncontrollable now, even if he sells his wool now, it seems that Liao's bottom line has been touched.

In fact, this kind of worry is completely unnecessary. Liao's economy will inevitably suffer a setback this time, but Liao's founding has been more than 100 years old, how can it be put down by Chen Yuan all at once?

He could have left it for a while longer, or bought some more.

But the first time he speculated in the market, including Soros, who became famous all over the world, also said that he was also apprehensive when he speculated Allianz stocks for the first time. If you look at Soros's concept, Chen Yuan's hype about wool this time is obviously much more immature.

Chen Yuan really wants to stop now, and another reason why he is in a hurry to stop is that he needs money.

Frying wool is to make money, but there are many problems to be considered in Chen Yuan's opinion. Since you can now meddle in military exploits, and since the trade at sea can increase your assets several times, then why should you fry wool again?

He also asked these merchants to listen to their tone and see if they were interested in the army of the Great Song Dynasty, this cake is too big, and if you eat it alone, it will make people hate! By the way, he also sold his own ships of goods, and he didn't need to process them and sell them back as Zhang Kuangzheng said, Chen Yuan planned to sell them directly to the merchants of the Song Dynasty, and it would be best if someone could eat them in one bite.

Do you do business, the faster the return of funds is better than the more you earn.

After talking to Zhang Kuangzheng about the things that could be said on the table, Chen Yuan immediately went to Hu Yanqing and others to discuss the things that could not be put on the table.

I haven't seen her for more than half a year, and several people have been blackened by the sea breeze, especially Huyan Ruizhu, whose skin actually has a faint bronz, and she is wearing the vests, trousers, and tights that sailors often wear, although it looks less charming than in the Great Song Dynasty, it makes Chen Yuan feel a special sense of surname, and there is a temptation of wild roses.
