"Chen An has left the palace."

Since Chen An entered the palace, his whereabouts have been under the attention of interested people.

"The Song Dynasty is very strange." Wang Rong was waiting for him outside the imperial city. "The major events such as the Northern Expedition can be said openly in advance."

"It's impossible to hide it if you don't say it. At least it can make the Liao people worried." Chen An was waiting for others.

"Maybe it's hiding something, it's probably because Yelu Hongji knows that the Song Dynasty is short of money."

Wang Rong always felt that the fewer people involved in military and national affairs, the better, "This matter should be limited to the prime minister."

"I can't hide it." Chen An said: "Besides, the quality of a thing depends on how you do it. Someone thinks it is a good thing."

"The Dragon Sinking Picture." Zhang Banian came out.

Chen An turned around and bowed, "I'll ask Zhang Duzhi to send people to the city to supervise later."

"What are you monitoring?" Zhang Banian looked like he was ten years ago, and his clothes were empty, making people want to see if the body inside the clothes was covered with bones.

Wang Rong just wanted to see it, and he was thinking boldly.

"The court will borrow money from all over the world, but the old party will not be willing to do so. If the people who went to the money shop were dealt with by them, Zhang Duzhi will be furious."

"Most of those who lend money to the court support the new policy." Wang Rong added.

Zhang Banian glanced at him, "I know, you don't need to remind me."

This idiot!

Wang Yun glanced at him and just sneered.

"Just a trivial matter."

Zhang Banian went back calmly.

Chen An said lightly: "Don't worry, Zhang Banian will not ignore this matter."

"I haven't reached the point of resentment from him yet." Wang Rong felt that Chen An underestimated his mind, but couldn't help but wonder how to make Zhang Ba Nian feel so ugly.

All the way to the money shop, Chen An ordered concisely: "For the Northern Expedition, the court borrowed loans from all over the world, and it was divided into three years to repay the principal and interest, with an annual interest of two cents, and immediately wrote a notice based on this."

Tang Ren took action himself, and soon wrote a notice. Chen An looked at it and sighed, "You need to learn!"

Tang Ren blushed and said, "Xiao Guan has also read books recently."

"But look at Su Shi." When Su Shi was mentioned, even Chen An was depressed, "Forget it, post it out, and then ask them to copy it... No need, let someone go to the bookstore, print it out in movable type, and make more."

"How much do you want?" Tang Ren estimated, "I always want dozens of copies in Bianliang City, and I also post some outside the city. Is this a hundred copies enough?"

"Not enough." Chen An sat down, "a thousand copies, and then posted them everywhere."

Tang Ren was puzzled, "Where do you want to post?"

"It's posted everywhere, starting from Bianliang... all the way to all parts of the Song Dynasty."

Chen An's expression was calm, but Tang Ren was startled, "Chenlong Picture, what...what does this mean?"

"Just go!"

Chen An smiled and said, "I want the official to see it. Everything is not difficult."

The notice was posted, and the Xia brothers were also reading it.

"The Northern Expedition raises money...repay in batches in three years, with an annual interest of two cents...Brother, this is equivalent to the interest he borrows from outside, which is a lot."

Xia Jin nodded, "It's a lot, but...not to mention two points, even ten points, those people won't borrow it. If you don't believe it, wait and see, not many people will come."

Chen An sat in the money shop and read a book.

Various magical arts are bombarding, and various characters are changing...

"The dragon map, there are not many people."

The notice was posted, but only a few people came.

"Who is it?" Chen An asked, putting down the book.

“Havenger.”

The vendors in Bianliang have received the favor of Chen An, so they are mostly repaying their kindness.

Tang Ren was a little confused, "Why... the lower officials felt like they were going to summon some merchants to discuss matters."

There was a lot of ruthlessness in his eyes, "If you don't want to... let's deal with them."

"No need." Chen An started reading again.

The entertainment methods of this era seemed really boring to him, but now he has a group of literati writing under his command, and the first reader is him, which is so cool.

Tang Ren went out with a frown.

After the news spread, Zhao Shu sighed: "Is it even a businessman willing to borrow money?"

Seeing that he was worried, Chen Zhongheng said, "Officials, why don't you ask me?"

"Go."

Chen Zhongheng went to the money shop and came back later and reported: "Only a few vendors went there. Chen An said that if he went to borrow money, the merchants would flock to him because they would not lose money and could still get favors from him. But borrowing money in the court would not be the case. Those merchants would be careful in their calculations and wonder if they would..."

Seeing that Chen Zhongheng wanted to speak but stopped, Zhao Shu asked, "But he is worried about the failure of the Northern Expedition?"

"Yes." Chen Zhongheng said gritting his teeth: "Those people are really cunning."

"There are not many loyal people." Zhao Shu sneered, "The other thing is that there are not enough benefits. Those who have two-point profits still don't like them. They have to ask for more benefits before they can take action."

News kept coming later.

"A businessman went with the money."

"There are quite a few!"

Zhao Shu said with satisfaction: "After all, there are people who know the importance of this. These merchants are very good. They will give them the first benefit in the future. As for the other... Bianliang's wealthy merchants count one, and remember all those who have not come."

This emperor is a slim person, but not many people know about it.

So the sparse money-borrowing operation lasted for half a day and received more than 10,000 guan. More than 10,000 guan was a big gain in the past, but before the huge expenses of the Northern Expedition, it was just a drop in the bucket.

Chen An took the book and looked very peaceful.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

In a restaurant, a group of people were laughing wildly.

"We are the richest in the world. If we don't take action, where will they get the money?"

"Those people are not fools. When they see that we don't pay, they have to think carefully."

"The Northern Expedition will consume countless money and food. Chen An came up with this idea, but it will end up miserably. In this way, the Northern Expedition will be a bit ominous."

A man leaned forward and smiled sinisterly: "Then he launched a persuasion, and the Northern Expedition... drag it down! drag it down!"

Lu Hui sat on the top and raised his glass and said, "This is the general trend. The general trend does not agree with the Northern Expedition. If it is a forced act..."

A man smiled and said, "Let them think of Emperor Yang of Sui then."

"Emperor Yang of Sui also insisted on conquering Goguryeo. After several defeats, he died and his country was killed. This is the lesson of the past!"

"Stop!" Lu Hui said angrily: "This is over."

"yes!"

Everyone was silent for a moment, and then someone said, "The official refused to approve the expenses for next year, which shows that... it is kindness."

Everyone laughed, but they could not see any appreciation or admiration in their eyes, all of which were jokes.

It's almost like pedantic to say the word "pedantic".

Lu Hui smiled and said, "These are the people who go to borrow money today. This is the case on the first day. Those people must be afraid. Just wait and see, there will be even fewer people going tomorrow."

"Yes, I'm afraid that the money I lent out cannot be paid back."

“…”

The night is dark, and the lights are still brightly lit everywhere in Bianliang.

In this world's largest and most prosperous city, countless people are planning for tomorrow.

"My wife."

In a family in the grassland in the outer city, the male owner Ye Laoer was washing his feet.

The wooden tub is filled with hot water, so it feels very comfortable to soak.

His wife, Wang, was preparing tomorrow's breakfast next to her.

Breakfast is also simple, just make big cakes and soup.

As for what you said about takeout, it’s okay once in a while. Who can stand the daily expenses?

So prosperity always comes bit by bit, closely related to everyone.

Mrs. Wang kneaded the dough and looked up and said, "What's the matter with the official?"

Ye Lao Er hesitated for a moment and said, "How much does it cost at home?"
