Chapter 1222 The Gradually Prosperous Song Dynasty(1/2)
The Dashi merchants traded back and forth between the East and the West with a long history and rich experience, which was amazing.
Some people went overseas to trade in the Song Dynasty, but they could not compare with the official scale. There was little movement and did not attract the attention of the Dashi merchants.
But now it's different.
Let’s take a look at the piles of goods. According to the Dashi merchants’ understanding, these goods can make the merchants of the Song Dynasty make a fortune.
In the past, these were all our money, but now they have been earned by the Song people.
Why!
Eyes were swapping, but mostly depressed.
Once the Song people went to overseas trade on a large scale, what else would the big food merchants do?
A businessman whispered: "The only way now is to not trade with the Song people in our country. Think about it, we only have those goods, don't the Song people?"
Everyone nodded slightly, "Next time I go out to sea, I will ask someone to go back and warn them not to trade with the Song people."
"But what if someone doesn't listen?"
"Don't listen?" The big food merchant said coldly: "If you don't listen, you will destroy everyone's job and you will die without a place to bury yourself."
Everyone nodded and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.
“Sold!”
After a shout, the dock boiled.
After buying most of the goods by Maritime Sibbon, the rest of the goods were sold freely.
Those merchants who had been waiting for a long time flocked to us, and the bargaining voices made people feel that this place was the market.
After a while, a group of coolies entered the site and began to carry the goods.
Su Yan looked at these coolies and said to Qin Xin: "Magistrate, Xiaguan and his father worked at the wharf in Bianliang. Now he feels very friendly to see these!"
"Others are afraid that others will know their past downfall, so you are calm." Qin Xin admired the young man very much and smiled: "Those businessmen can hold banquets. They were not easy to eat in the past, but today they are fine. Let's go together."
"After having a banquet, I have a share!"
The merchants were greeting each other with red faces, and even the boatmen on the boat were invited.
Of course, the Dashi merchants were not among them. They followed behind and entered Hangzhou City.
Then there was a carnival. Those merchants who made a lot of money almost bought all the brothels in Hangzhou City, which was so luxurious that it was outrageous.
Then the news that Hai Trade made a lot of money spread wildly, and the restaurant where Qin Xin and Su Yan were instantly flooded by merchants.
"Magistrate, the villain is willing to go out to sea!"
"The magistrate, the villain will prepare goods at the beginning of the spring next year, as much as he wants..."
“…”
Su Yan couldn't help but laugh when he looked at these scenes.
The mountain leader, is this what you said to tempt it with mercy?
Nowadays, Hangzhou is discussing making a lot of money from overseas, and the trend of overseas trade is unstoppable!
...
On the last day of the second year of Zhiping, the palace was so busy.
"Tomorrow is the grand dynasty meeting, so be more concerned, don't make mistakes."
Chen Zhongheng stood on the steps, scolding a few lazy guys in a harsh manner.
Turning around, he entered the hall, Zhao Shu was reading a book.
"The official family, the king came with the prince and the princess."
Zhao Shu put down the book and smiled and said, "This is here to ask for money, just let them come."
When the Song Dynasty was prosperous, Zhao Shu was in a good mood naturally.
Zhao Xu came in later with the children.
The three sons were headed by Zhao Xu, and Zhao Hao followed behind, with the youngest son Zhao Feng at the end. Zhao Feng was only ten years old. After coming in, he was very curious. An eunuch next to him coughed dryly, reminding him to pay attention to etiquette.
Zhao Xu looked at the eunuch who was coughing and said, "Silang is still young."
Zhao Shu has four sons, and the third son died young.
The eunuch lowered his head awkwardly. Seeing his youngest son lively, Zhao Shu smiled and said, "You're still young. Besides, it's New Year soon. Children should all relax, it's okay."
"yes."
The eunuch retreated.
The eldest daughter, Princess Dening, stood on the other side with two sisters. Zhao Qianyu was the second child, staring at the second brother Zhao Hao opposite him, looking very playful.
The third princess Shoukang looked very honest.
The key is that most of these six children are born Gao Taotao, which is extremely rare among emperors.
"The official family, the saint is here."
Gao Taotao came in and said with a smile: "Is this a person who came to ask the government for money? This year, the government's life has been much better, just ask for it."
Seeing that his sons were very happy, Zhao Shu couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, okay, let me send you some gold and silver for you..."
Zhao Qianyu's eyes rolled, "Officials, gold and silver are not easy to spend, so I need copper coins."
"You naughty girl." Zhao Shu smiled and said, "Okay, give me copper coins. But you have to take gold and silver. When you get married, you can keep it in the box, just like your mother. Ask her, there is a lot of gold and silver in her box. If you get angry, you will live with your own gold and silver. I am afraid that you can't do anything for your father."
Gao Taotao smiled, then came over and sat down.
"Dalang is fine this year."
The family meets at the end of the year, with a bit of summary.
Zhao Xu lowered his head, feeling that he had asked his father a few problems this year, and he felt that it was pretty good, but his recent homework was doubled.
Zhao Shu commented on his children's performance this year one by one, and finally said with a smile: "You guys go back each of you."
Zhao Qianyu asked curiously: "Official family, where is the money?"
This daughter is the most cute and silly. Zhao Shu smiled and said, "It's all sent."
"Thank you, the official."
The children thanked each other and then dispersed.
Zhao Shu smiled and turned sideways, "This year you take care of the palace and the children, thank you for your hard work."
"Not hard work." Gao Taotao said with a smile: "The government is really hard work. The things in the previous dynasty are in great detail, and the children have to watch them even if they are naughty. I can't do this."
Zhao Shu smiled and said, "The children were very troublesome when they were young, but now they think about it. It's better when they were young! It's easy to save trouble. Look at Dalang, now he is getting more and more wild, and he just wants to go out all day long..."
Gao Taotao frowned and said, "That concubine turned around and restrained him."
Zhao Shu nodded, feeling that he had put another trap on his eldest son, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
"The official family, Dalang's marriage, I have a choice."
"who?"
Zhao Shu turned around and sat down, Gao Taotao said, "Do you still remember Xiang Minzhong?"
"Xiang Minzhong... Of course I remember." Zhao Shu said: "That man was mature and polite, and had the ability to plan for the country. He was quite favored during the reign of Emperor Taizong. He was valued during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong and was considered an important official of the two dynasties."
Xiang Minzhong was an old minister of two dynasties. He started to make his fortune when he was Emperor Taizong. When he was over 70 years old, Zhenzong refused to allow him to retire, which shows his reliance.
Gao Taotao smiled and said, "He has a great granddaughter, but he is very virtuous and kind. I know the rules of our family. I am the most powerful minister in the dynasty, so I think of his family."
After Xiang Minzhong left, his descendants gradually became dull, but they could be regarded as a noble family, and this was also the best candidate for royal marriage.
Zhao Shu thought for a while and said, "Dalang is not young anymore, and it is the time to get married. You should be more concerned about this matter, turn around... and meet that little lady, let the girl come into the palace, and you can meet her well. If so, let Dalang meet her too."
Gao Taotao said silently: "Officials, this is not in accordance with 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 confused in the palace that year, but fortunately I met you, so I had a companion."
Two young people with uncertain futures meet in the palace, and this is fate.
Then they became husband and wife, and they have been together to the present.
Chen Zhongheng quietly went out and ordered: "Don't let irrelevant people disturb the official family these days."
Throughout the year, the emperor can rest in these few days, but there are always people who want to take the shortcut in Zhongnan, and they like to ask for a meeting in these few days.
The eunuchs responded, Chen Zhongheng stood on the steps, looking at the wall in front of him, and felt a little sad.
It's New Year soon!
But what about Yan Yue of a certain person?
Yan Yue, where are you?
