Chapter 1,222 The Song Dynasty Gradually Became Prosperous

Food merchants trade back and forth between the East and the West. Their long history and rich experience are astonishing.

There were people in the Song Dynasty who were trading overseas, but they could not compare with the official scale. There was not much movement, and they did not attract the attention of the food merchants.

But now it's different.

Look at those mountains of goods. According to the understanding of the merchants of Da Shi, these goods can make the merchants of Song Dynasty make a lot of money.

In the past, this was all our money, but now it has been earned by the people of Song Dynasty.

Why!

Eyes were exchanged, but mostly frustrated.

Once the Song people went to sea for trade on a large scale, what would happen to the big food merchants?

A businessman whispered: "The only way now is to stop trading with the Song people in our country. Think about it, we only have those goods, don't the Song people want them?"

Everyone nodded slightly, "Next time I go to sea, I will send someone back to warn them not to trade with the Song people."

"But what if someone doesn't listen?"

"Don't listen?" The big food businessman said coldly: "If you don't listen, you will ruin everyone's jobs and you will die without a burial place."

Everyone nodded, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

"Sold!"

After a loud shout, the dock boiled.

After Shibo Sibo bought most of the goods, the remaining goods were freely sold.

Merchants who had been waiting for a long time flocked in, and the sound of bargaining made people feel like this was a market.

After a while, a group of coolies came in and began to move the goods.

Su Yan looked at these coolies and said to Qin Xin: "Zhizhou, back then my official and my father worked at the wharf in Bianliang. Now I feel so warm when I see them!"

"Others are afraid that others will know about your past poverty, but you are calm." Qin Xin admired this young man and said with a smile: "Those businessmen will hold banquets. In the past, it was not easy to go to eat, but today it is not a problem. Let's go together. "

"It's time for the banquet, everyone has a share!"

The merchants were greeting each other with glowing faces, and even the boatmen on the ships were invited.

Of course, the big food merchants were not among them. They followed them all the way into Hangzhou City.

Then came the carnival, and those businessmen who had made a lot of money took over almost all the brothels in Hangzhou. The luxury was outrageous.

Then the news that Haitrade had made a lot of money spread like wildfire, and the restaurant where Qin Xin and Su Yan were was instantly flooded by businessmen.

"Zhizhou, I am willing to go to sea!"

"Tongsuan, I will prepare the goods in the spring of next year. I will get as much as I want..."

"..."

Su Yan couldn't help but laugh when he looked at these scenes.

Chief Shan, is this what you call luring him with benefits?

Nowadays, everyone in Hangzhou is discussing going overseas to make big money. This trend of overseas trade is unstoppable!

…

On the last day of the second year of Zhiping, the palace was extremely busy.

"Tomorrow is the big court meeting, so be careful and don't make any mistakes."

Chen Zhongheng stood on the steps and scolded a few lazy guys in a stern voice.

He turned around and entered the hall. Zhao Shu was reading a book.

"Guan family, the king is here with the princes and princesses."

Zhao Shu put down the book and said with a smile: "They are here to ask for money, that's all. Let them come."

The national fortunes of the Song Dynasty were prosperous, and Zhao Shu was naturally in a good mood.

Later, Zhao Xu came in with his children.

The three sons are headed by Zhao Xu, followed by Zhao Hao, and the youngest son Zhao Kai is the last. Zhao Kai was only ten years old. He was very curious when he came in. The servant beside him coughed dryly and reminded him to pay attention to etiquette.

Zhao Xu looked at the servant who was coughing dryly and said, "Silang is still young."

Zhao Shu had four sons, the third of whom died in infancy.

The waiter lowered his head in embarrassment. Seeing that his youngest son was lively, Zhao Shu smiled and said, "He is still young. Besides, it is the New Year soon, so the children should relax. It's okay."

"yes."

The chamberlain retreated.

The eldest daughter, Princess Dening, and her two younger sisters were standing on the other side. Zhao Qianyu was the second oldest, staring at the second brother Zhao Hao opposite, looking very playful.

Princess Shoukang, the third child, looks very honest.

There are three sons and three daughters. The key is that most of these six children are born tall, which is extremely rare among emperors.

"Guan family, the saint is here."

Gao Taotao came in and said with a smile: "Are you here to ask for money from the official family? The official family's life has been much better this year, just ask for it."

Zhao Shu saw that his sons were very happy, and his daughters were moved. They couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, okay, my father will send you some gold and silver later..."

Zhao Qianyu rolled his eyes and said, "In the official family, gold and silver are hard to spend, so I need copper coins."

"You naughty girl." Zhao Shu said with a smile: "Okay, give me copper coins. But you must also keep the gold and silver. When you get married, you can keep them at the bottom of the box, just like your mother. Ask her about her box. There is a lot of gold and silver in it. If you get angry one day and live with your own gold and silver, your father will be helpless."

Gao Taotao smiled, then came over and sat down.

"Dalang is doing fine this year."

When the whole family meets at the end of the year, it feels like a summary.

Zhao Xu lowered his head and felt that he had given his father a few difficult problems this year. It felt pretty good, but it was uncomfortable to have his homework doubled recently.

Zhao Shu commented on the performance of his children this year one by one, and finally said with a smile: "You can go back."

Zhao Qianyu asked curiously: "Guan family, where is the money?"

This daughter is the most charming and naive. Zhao Shu smiled and said: "Send them all away."

"Thank you, officials."

The children thanked each other and then dispersed.

Zhao Shu smiled and turned sideways, "You have taken care of the palace and the children this year. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard." Gao Taotao said with a smile: "It's really hard for the official family. They have to take care of every detail of the previous dynasty's affairs, and they have to watch the children's mischief. I can't do this. .”

Zhao Shu smiled and said: "Children were very troublesome when they were young, but now that I think about it, it was better to be young! It saves trouble. Look at Da Lang, he is getting wilder and wilder now. He wants to go out all day long..."

Gao Taotao frowned and said, "The concubine turned around and restrained him."

Zhao Shu nodded, feeling that his eldest son had been tricked again, and he couldn't help but feel happy.

"In the official family, I have a suitable candidate for Da Lang's marriage."

"who?"

Zhao Shu turned around and sat down, and said eloquently: "Xiang Minzhong, do you still remember?"

"Xiang Minzhong...of course I remember." Zhao Shu said: "That man is mature and prudent, and has the ability to plan for the country. He was quite favored during the Taizong period, and was highly used during the Zhenzong period. He was regarded as an important minister in the two dynasties."

Xiang Minzhong can be regarded as a veteran of two dynasties. He started to make his fortune during the reign of Emperor Taizong. When he was more than seventy years old, Zhenzong did not allow him to become an official, which shows that he relied heavily on him.

Gao Taotao smiled and said: "He has a great-granddaughter who is not bad. It is said that she is very virtuous and virtuous. I know the rules of our family. I am an important minister in the dynasty and cannot be with powerful people, so I thought of his family."

After Xiang Minzhong left, the descendants gradually became dull, but it could still be regarded as a noble family, and it was also the best candidate for royal marriage.

Zhao Shu thought for a while and said: "Da Lang is not young now, and it is the right time to get married. You should pay more attention to this matter, and go back... Let's meet, let the little lady come into the palace, you can meet her, if you can , let Dalang meet him too."

Gao Taotao said dumbly: "Guan family, this is against the rules."

"What rules?" Zhao Shu chuckled and said, "When I met you in the palace, we were both still young...at that time..."

Gao Taotao felt sweet in his heart, remembering what happened back then, "Yes, I was a little hesitant in the palace that year. Fortunately, I met you, and now I have company."

It was fate that two young people with uncertain futures met in the palace.

Then they became husband and wife and have been together till now.

Chen Zhongheng went out quietly and ordered: "Don't let irrelevant people disturb the official family these days."

At the end of the year, these are the only days that the emperor can take a rest, but there are always people who want to take the shortcut to Zhongnan, so they like to ask for an audience during these days.

The waiters were gone, and Chen Zhongheng stood on the steps, looking at the wall in front of him, feeling a little sad in his heart.

It’s New Year soon!

But what about Yan Yue?

Yan Yue, where are you?

…

The New Year Festival in Bianliang is always lively and the streets are full of people.

The merchants on both sides were shouting desperately that this was their best opportunity to make money in a year. After passing this village, there would be no such store.

Those people are the most leisurely and have the most money in the year.

They showed up in one store after another with their wives and children, laughing and choosing goods. Then the children disappeared in a blink of an eye. They shouted loudly again, and when the children ran from the grocery store next door, they pretended to hit him on the back, but with such force Can't even swat flies to death.

There were also young women traveling together. They raised their sleeves to cover half of their faces and looked at the prosperity with excitement.

Those jugglers also took the opportunity to find an open space and start performing. A woman next to them held a bag. They stopped when the performance reached a wonderful place, and then said that they would earn some money for the children at home throughout the year. To buy some meat, those spectators also took out copper coins and threw them into the bag, and the excitement continued.

If you ask why it's not a plate... Copper coins are very heavy. If you bring a plate, the first one will easily roll out, making it difficult to pick it back up. The second one is heavy.

The woman dragged the bag without counting, just felt the weight, then smiled and thanked her.

This is a Song Dynasty that is gradually getting richer, and there are more and more smiles on the faces of the people.

"Long live the official family!"

Someone was shouting after drinking too much, which attracted a burst of agreement from everyone.

Since the current official ascended the throne, the Song Dynasty has continued to make progress, both in terms of people's livelihood and external affairs. These improvements can be felt bit by bit, which is exciting.

In the midst of this commotion, a caravan slowly entered Bianliang City.

"Why did you come?"

A waiter who picked them up said hurriedly: "They are all sold out. Send the goods quickly."

"We haven't missed the deadline." Yan Yue handed over her hand with a serious attitude.

To do business in the Song Dynasty, you must have credibility, otherwise you will be in trouble.

The guy stamped his feet and said, "Yes, yes, you are on schedule. Hurry up."

The caravan delivered the goods, and everyone unloaded the goods together. Later, they settled the payment. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Yan Yue turned around and said, "Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year. From now on, you all disperse. After fifteen Let’s set off to the northwest again.”

"Where are you, shopkeeper?" The waiter looked very tough, but he took more care of Yan Yue.

"Leave me alone." Yan Yue carried the bag and touched the knife inside, with a smile on her slightly dark face. "We have made a lot this year. You all can go, but remember not to throw money in." In a casino, let alone throwing it into a brothel, at least I took most of it to my family."

The trade routes in the northwest are very dangerous. These guys are following Yan Yue to find a life on a knife's edge. Now that they can relax, they need women and stimulation.

The guys said goodbye, and Yan Yue shouldered the burden and looked at Bianliang City blankly, not knowing where to go.

Finally, she walked outside the gate of the imperial city without knowing it, and thought of that old Chen...

"There is a man named Chen Zhongheng, do you know him?" she asked the sergeant guarding the door.

The fourth update is here, good night!
