Chapter 1219 Dragon slaying, the fleet returns(1/2)
Wen Xiaozhong stared outside the study, almost motionless.
It is logical that there is no need for this in the Shen family, but he still habitually maintained the assassin's code of conduct until Huahua ran in.
Chen An had previously told that nothing was allowed to come in.
Wen Xiaochong glanced at Huahua and thought to himself that Huahua was not a thing, right?
Huahua ran in, stood in front of Wen Xiaochong and looked at him with his head raised. The dog's eyes were a little confused, then he stuck out his tongue, turned around and ran to the study room to listen for a while, and then he went back to find the little master carelessly.
The study room was very quiet, so Chen An heard Huahua's gasping sound and the sound of drawing doors.
He held the teacup and didn't drink it, but just felt the warmth of the tea.
Wang Rong was pondering and frowned from time to time.
Zhao Xu was also thinking, but he was almost dazed.
Su Shi probably felt that he had understood the mystery and couldn't help but smile.
"This matter..."
As soon as he spoke, Wang Rong woke up and stood up and bowed: "Thank you, Brother Anbei, for teaching this secret technique. I thought about it carefully, but I felt that I suddenly realized my eyes... This secret technique is..."
He was really grateful and felt that this kind of knowledge could be taught, and Chen An was touching his sincere affection for himself.
He glanced at Zhao Xu, "This is the dragon-slaying technique, right?"
Dragon-slaying technique?
Zhao Xu looked up at him.
The so-called dragon-slaying technique in this dynasty is not as powerful as the legends in later generations. It is probably a legend. Later, Huang Tingjian wrote a poem, which contains dragon-slaying technique, which implies unrealistic skills.
But except for Su Shi, everyone here is all human genius, especially when Wang Yun said this, his eyes were full of glamour, which made people know what his dragon-slaying technique implies.
The technique of turning the world upside down!
Zhao Xu looked at Chen An and said seriously: "I am very grateful since you said these words. I know you can not say them, but you still said them. This is the teaching. I will seriously consider it and think carefully about how to use capital and currency to influence the Song Dynasty and attack the enemy country."
This is an explanation and a relief.
"The nonsense dragon-slaying technique!"
Chen An said disdainfully: "The so-called dragon-slaying technique must be a waste of people's lives and the country is about to be broken, so there are people... For example, Xiao He and Zhang Liang came out to rebel. But if the country is stable, these so-called dragon-slaying techniques are just jokes."
"The corruption of the country has never been related to the dragon-slaying technique, so when you see such a person in the future, you will take him down the first thing you do."
What kind of bullshit dragon slaying technique? The real dragon slaying technique is the knowledge of governing the country, not those pretending to be mysterious.
Zhao Xu nodded and bowed to show that he had been taught.
Later, they all dispersed. Wang Rong went to Zuo Zhen's place. Seeing that she was still busy, she frowned and said, "I will get married at the beginning of next year. Can't you take a few days off?"
Zuo Zhen looked up at him and said, "I want to make money!"
In her eyes, money is probably her last support.
Wang Rong wanted to be angry, but in the end he walked in and squatted down to help her clean up the quails.
The fragrance of fried quails kept coming. Wang Yun lowered his head and plucked his hair, soaking the quails in hot water from time to time. The fishy smell was very bad, but he had no complaints.
Not long after, he finished plucking his hair and then started picking the quail.
Then he sat behind and watched Zuo Zhen in front of him busy.
Zuo Zhen’s figure...How to say it, Wang Yun remembers that in summer, Zuo Zhen, who was not wearing much clothes, looked very much like that. Anyway, she was not fat, but her hips were bigger, which was commonly known as the big butt.
It's winter now, Zuo Zhen is wearing a lot of clothes, and looks a little bloated.
She slowly squatted down to see the fire, then added a few pieces of firewood.
When she squatted down, her hips suddenly became bigger and round.
Wang Rong thought it was very beautiful, and he thought of many things...
After frying the quail, Zuo Zhen turned around and said in surprise: "You have a nosebleed."
"What?" Wang Yun reached out and touched his nose, then lowered his head awkwardly.
"Don't move!" Zuo Zhen walked over, reached out to dip the water into the basin, and then patted Wang Yun's back neck.
"Cold." Wang Rong's health is not very good, and it is a bit difficult to bear in winter.
"What's cold?" Zuo Zhen slapped a few more times, and Wang Rong felt that he would die under her palm sooner or later.
"Hey, okay?" Without a few slaps, Wang Yun's nose bleeding stopped. Just when he was happy, Zuo Zhen took out a handkerchief, dipped it in water and made it into a thin roll, ready to stuff it into his nostrils.
"It's already done." Wang Rong frowned and wanted to hide. Zuo Zhen pressed the back of his head with one hand and firmly stuffed the handkerchief in.
"Sit down well." Zuo Zhen continued to fry the quail, and his back was still busy.
Wang Rong muttered, and then remembered what Shen An mentioned about capital war and currency war.
This is a brand new world, which makes Wang Rong feel that his vision is very narrow.
Can……
He remembered the interactions between the Song Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom and the Western Xia Kingdom, and was shocked to find that all this fits the theory that Shen An said.
The Liao people seized the money from the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty used the market to earn back the annual monies. After Shen An produced the fragrance and crystal, the trade deficit between the two countries became even greater.
Liao Kingdom will not bear it!
Wang Rong thought of Shen An specifically taking out copper coins and gold and silver from the Liao Kingdom, and couldn't help but praise: "It's indeed the Mangshan lineage, which is amazing."
After finishing his work, Zuo Zhen turned around and asked, "What kind of mountain lineage?"
Seeing that there was sweat on her forehead, Wang Yun looked for a towel for her and said, "It's Brother Anbei's knowledge, and it's very profound."
Zuo Zhen knew Wang Rong's arrogance. At this moment, he heard him sincerely admiring Shen An and couldn't help but smile: "Shenxian Duke is indeed a big talent. That time I heard someone say that it was Shenxian Duke's civil and military talents, and that only one of them was born in the 100th century of the Song Dynasty."
"Yes!" Wang Rong would never be convinced if it were someone else, but he was really convinced by Shen An.
"It seems that the court has money this year." Zuo Zhen said happily: "There are a lot more of those minor officials who come to buy fried quails. Some say that the Maritime Bureau has made money, while others say that it is farming to make money."
Wang Rong said: "In such a big country, there must be output everywhere."
"What about Maritime Affairs? Some merchants said they wanted to go to Hangzhou, and they could go to trade overseas and earn a lot of money." Zuo Zhen said and smiled, looking at Wang Yun and said, "Didn't you ever been to Maritime Affairs?"
"Yes." Wang Rong recalled, "Hangzhou Maritime Service is very outstanding, Guangzhou is worse."
"They said Hangzhou is beautiful." Zuo Zhen said longingly: "It's great that you can all go out for fun."
Wang Rong felt a fever in his heart and said, "Is it okay to take you out for fun in the future?"
He thought Zuo Zhen would refuse, but Zuo Zhen said readily: "Okay."
Wang Rong said curiously: "Why don't you refuse?"
Zuo Zhen smiled and said, "Mr. Chen said, marry a man, dress and eat, and marry a man. If he has this ability, you should eat his and use his..."
In an instant, Wang Rong felt full of strength and stood up and said, "Okay, I will make a lot of money, so I can make you rich and enjoy it."
...
It's just about to fall in Hangzhou.
There is a vast white area between heaven and earth, and the mountains in the distance are covered with snow, looking at the vastness.
The snowflakes melted instantly when they fell on the river surface, and countless snowflakes fell one after another, looking a bit spectacular.
Su Yan stood on the shore, looking at the estuary on the right, with a calm expression.
Behind him were some officials, and someone approached and said, "Police Tong, will the fleet stop outside in this weather?"
Su Yan shook his head, "Going to sea is almost like fighting on the battlefield, the sea is unpredictable, and pirates are cruel and violent. If you give orders, you must obey them, otherwise you will die in vain. So they will not delay the deadline."
An official sighed: "Before they set off, they were full of confidence. They didn't know how much money they could earn after returning from this trip. If it wasn't much, it would be difficult to go to sea next time. Those merchants were afraid they would not go again."
"Safe." Su Yan became more and more calm. He remembered Chen An's letter. In the letter, Chen An highly praised overseas trade and said bluntly that without overseas trade, the Song Dynasty would have lost one leg.
This level of importance shows that overseas trade has made great achievements. Su Yan made a lot of preparations for this, but everything must be done when the first caravans went out to sea return.
If you make money and make a lot of money, then merchants will flock to you, the Maritime Warehouse will become a hot commodity, and the navy will also benefit.
"You must make a fortune!"
Even though the money earned by the merchants could not be paid for by themselves, Su Yan still prayed devoutly.
"Prime Minister Tongxian, Duke Chen, highly praised overseas trade, but why didn't he go out to sea?"
This question made Su Yan open his eyes, and he said coldly: "Mr. Chen said that he was taking advantage of the situation. He didn't need this little money, so he gave the opportunity to others."
The official who asked the question smiled dryly: "Yes! Chen County Duke is noble and generous."
He hesitated for a moment, "Prime Minister, some businessmen said... Chen County Duke was afraid of the great risks of maritime trade, so... When the officials heard these words, they naturally wanted to refute them, but they were speechless, which was difficult."
Su Yan said coldly: "The rumors end with wise men. Why do those people slander Chenxian Duke? Isn't it just a timid? Let's wait until the fleet returns, and then go and see the faces of those people!"
Seeing that he was angry, the official shrank his neck and returned to the crowd behind him. Someone laughed and said, "The Tongzong was brought out by the Duke of Chen County. It is like a father and son. If you say bad things about the Duke of Chen County in front of the Duke of Tongzong, it will be your luck if he doesn't do it."
The official said dissatisfiedly: "But this has to be reasonable, right? Can't Chen County Duke question it?"
"Of course I can question it, but haven't you noticed it? Chen County Duke said that the Daxing of the Maritime Trade Fair would be of great benefit to the Song Dynasty. Tongzong saw it this way and did it like this. Who is Chen County Duke? That's the richest man in the Song Dynasty. In terms of his ability to make money, he said he was the second, the Song Dynasty... No, who dares to say that he is the first in the world? Such a person was taught by him. Can Tongzong bear it if you say that you can say that you can bear it?"
