Chapter 478: The eighth sister is highly motivated, and An Shi's talent is admired
In the middle of the night, a light rain fell in Bianjing, which continued until early in the morning.
In the new house in the east courtyard of the Marquis of Zhongjing's mansion, the light is dim.
In the wide blue gauze tent in the north, a white jade arm poked out, and Yang Bajie was about to step down from the embroidery bed wearing a middle coat, but was pulled by Cao Bin:
"Why so early?"
As he spoke, he wanted to hug her into his arms again.
Eighth Sister Yang hurriedly dodged and said angrily:
"It's dawn, I still have to go to see Sister Pang, how can I be rude on the first day?"
As he spoke, he had already alarmed the maids outside.
Seeing that they had already begun to prepare toiletries, Eighth Sister Yang hurriedly broke free from Cao Bin's pull, escaped from the bed with long legs, turned around and rolled her eyes and said:
"Don't let me be disgraced on my first day."
As he spoke, he sat down at the dresser and began to arrange his jet-black hair.
Seeing this, Cao Bin was no longer entangled, leaned on the bed, looked at her through the gauze tent and smiled:
"You can rest assured that Yanyan and the others are all kind people and are easy to get along with."
"Besides, they like to lie in bed just like me, and this kind of weather, you go to disturb them."
When Sister Yang heard this, she was a little speechless and didn't know what to say.
The rules of Tianbo Mansion are very strict, if there is no accident, you have to get up at the latest every day to practice martial arts or do something else, and most serious people are like this.
I didn't expect the atmosphere of the Marquis of Zhongjing Mansion to be so lazy.
Looking at the exquisite and luxurious furnishings in the house, although she felt that her idea was wrong, she suddenly couldn't help but be envious, this kind of life is comfortable, it would be good to marry early......
However, she was a woman with Lingyun's ambition after all, and soon she was no longer entangled, but looked at Cao Bin with fighting spirit:
"I don't care about the others, but I can't see my husband's martial arts being wasted, let Mrs. Ben urge you to practice martial arts from now on."
As she spoke, she got up and was about to pull Cao Bin out of bed.
Cao Bin didn't expect that she would burn the fire on herself, and couldn't help laughing:
"With your two strokes, you also want to rebel? Let's see if the husband has wasted martial arts. ”
Where is the eighth sister his opponent, he was suppressed in three or two clicks, and he protested:
"You bastard, don't break my head, my hair is messed up again......"
Seeing the "popping" fight in the inner room, the maid pouted speechlessly, and went back to her bed to sleep.
It wasn't until the end of the hour, when it was almost eleven o'clock, that Yang Bajie packed up and followed Cao Bin along the verandah to Pang Yanyan's courtyard.
Seeing that all the daughters of the Cao family had arrived and were playing table and card games, Sister Yang glared at Cao Bin in embarrassment, and was about to step forward to explain.
The girls already understood what was going on, not only did they not have different colors, but they also made a few jokes to resolve the embarrassment, and when Sister Yang saw this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked with great interest:
"Did the sisters just play Three Kingdoms? I love this ...... the most."
When Pang Yanyan heard this, she hurriedly got up with a big belly and grabbed her and greeted:
"My sister likes it too? Sit down, let's play. ”
She was still a little worried that the women of the Jiangmen family had a strong personality and would be difficult to get along with, but when she saw that the eighth sister took the initiative to show goodwill, she became more enthusiastic.
Seeing this, the eighth sister hurriedly supported her, looked at her stomach enviously and said:
"My sister is pregnant, be careful."
Seeing that they got along quite harmoniously, Cao Bin also put his mind at ease, helped Pang Yanyan to sit down again, and said a few more words before saying goodbye to them and leaving the backyard.
Seeing that the sedan chair, Shi Qian, Wu Song and others followed, Cao Bin asked:
"What is Mr. Yasushi doing?"
Although he is busy with flowers and candles in the cave room, he is also very concerned about Wang Anshi, this is a celebrity through the ages, and even future generations have argued endlessly, which can be said to be slanderous and famous all over the world.
In fact, when Wang Anshi came out of Luoyang, Cao Bin received the news of "Swallow", but he didn't want to scare Wang Anshi, so he didn't go directly to pick it up.
Shi Qian hurriedly replied:
"According to the orders of the Hou Ye, the little one has sent someone to ask Mrs. Li for the Hou Ye's recent plan and handed it over to Mr. An Shi for review."
"After arranging a place for him yesterday, Mr. An Shi has not been out of the house......"
When Cao Bin heard this, he nodded with satisfaction and commanded:
"Tell Fu Bo that someone will invite Zhang Zihou and arrange a banquet, and Benhou will invite Mr. An Shi to a banquet."
Soon after, Zhang Duan hurried to the scene and asked:
"Master Hou, Mr. An Shi has arrived in Bianjing?"
Cao Bin nodded, didn't say much, but looked at Li Qingzhao who came with him and said:
"Is there something wrong with Mrs. Li?"
Li Qingzhao saluted solemnly:
"Since Master Hou sent someone to ask for the plan written by the subordinate official and ask for advice from the master, the subordinate official should also be present!"
Although she said it seriously, Cao Bin heard some resentment, and didn't care, and waved his hand casually:
"In that case, let's go with Ben Hou to see Mr. Anshi."
Wang Anshi didn't expect that Cao Bin would come to meet him on the second day of his wedding, and he was a little flattered, so he hurriedly put down the "plan" in his hand and saluted solemnly.
After a round of greetings, the banquet was ready.
Cao Bin probably knew that Wang Anshi was a person, so after a few people took their seats, they were not polite, and asked directly:
"Presumably, Mr. An Shi has read Ben Hou's plan, I don't know if he can see it?"
Wang Anshi is a little stubborn, Cao Bin must ask the other party's thoughts clearly, if he comes up and does a lot of work, it will also cause Cao Bin to become a lost place.
Although he is not afraid of demotion and the like, he is afraid of trouble, which will also affect the original plan.
When Wang Anshi heard this, a trace of amazement flashed in his eyes, and he said directly:
"An Shi once thought that Hou Ye's sea trade system was already amazing, but he never thought that Hou Ye would have such a rough idea, linked to copper coins, and plundered four Yi goods, very wonderful!"
Zhang Dian and Li Qingzhao both smiled when they heard his praise.
Especially Li Qingzhao, when they first met, they saw Wang An's stone with oil, unkempt, and a little frowned, and at this time he felt that he lived up to his reputation.
But I didn't want Wang Anshi to add solemnly afterwards:
"However, the coins are my great Song treasures, and now they are shared by the four Yi, and the cost is amazing, if the reserves are insufficient, there will be great trouble."
Li Qing looked at Cao Bin and explained:
"Mr. Wang is too worried, Hou Ye has already expected it, not to mention that the copper coin is only a temporary measure, within ten years, there will be a new coin."
"It is also very clear in my plan that the city will encourage merchants to mine and buy copper overseas, and then unify the regulations, refine the craftsmanship, and control the use of materials to mint coins."
"How can you not do such a profitable thing?"
Seeing Li Qingzhao speak, Wang Anshi first shook his head, and then said noncommittally:
"Could it be that Mrs. Li is a talented woman who is famous all over the world, Yi'an Jushi? It's been a long time, and An Shi also likes to entertain himself with poetry in his spare time. ”
Li Qingzhao was a little displeased when he saw him talking left and right, did he not want to talk about world affairs with a woman like himself? So he said casually:
"Mr. Jiefu's article, Qingzhao has also read it, quite the style of the Western Han Dynasty, as for the words, hehe...... Don't talk about it. ”
Wang Anshi didn't expect that he was angry by a little woman, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed, and Cao Bin was also a little speechless.
He had long known that Li Qingzhao had a problem with scolding people, but he didn't expect to scare the "relatives" of his predecessors in another life, and he showed no mercy, so he had to smile and smile:
"Jiefu doesn't have to mind, although Mrs. Li has a bigger temper, she has amazing talents."
"Ben Hou has always been eclectic in employing people, but it makes you laugh......"
When Li Qingzhao heard this, he couldn't help rolling his eyes, I defend you, but you say that I have a big temper, if I really have a big temper, I won't be called by you as a mule and donkey.
Thinking of this, she snorted a little angrily and didn't want to speak.
Wang Anshi was stunned for a moment, but hurriedly got up and said:
"It's Anshi who is stubborn, and Hou Ye's energy is used, which is the blessing of the court."
In the era of concubines in the Great Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi kept his old wife alone, although this is a deep relationship between husband and wife, but it can also be seen that his attitude towards women is more tolerant than the general concept of this era.
There is also a well-known case of Ayun in Dengzhou that also corroborates this point.
Cao Bin hurriedly helped him up and said with a smile:
"It's just a trivial matter, I don't know what Jie Fu has to make up for the trouble of the copper coin."
Although a large copper mine was discovered in the Great Song Dynasty a few years ago, if there is no controlled mining, there will always be a time when it will run out, and then the imperial court will sit on wax, and Wang Anshi's worries really need to be considered.
Wang Anshi said solemnly:
"Does Master Hou know that Shu Han 'should be a hundred big money'?"
As he spoke, he explained in detail:
"Back then, Zhuge Wuhou used Shu brocade as a sharp weapon to issue 'when a hundred bad money', and if Wei Wu wanted to buy Shu brocade, he would buy it with 'a hundred dollars'."
"In this way, the Shu Han can plunder the wealth of Wei and Wu, and support him to go out of Qishan, and now the south of the Yangtze River is full of weaving and porcelain kilns, which are unique to my Great Song Dynasty."
"Maritime trade can be shared with copper coins and banknotes, and foreign businessmen who buy goods with banknotes should reduce taxes and reduce prices, so that in a few years, paper money can become popular."
Hearing the allusion of Shu Jin, Cao Bin understood, good guy, this is the earliest monetary hegemony, anchoring Shu Jin with bad money, and bad money has the characteristics of credit currency.
This Wang Anshi is really talented, others are still studying the Four Books and Five Classics, but he has studied finance, and he really has good things in his stomach......
