"Everyone, the Xingshe people are here."

As soon as Song Yongchen left, Feng Jing came to report.

"Oh." Zhao Xu sat up straight: "Bring him in."

Soon, Xing Shu was brought to Zhao Xu.

"I sincerely wish your Majesty long blessings!"

"No courtesy, I'll give you a seat!" Zhao Xu is usually very easy-going in private, and this time is no exception.

When Xing Shu sat down, Zhao Xu asked: "She is eager to see me, but is it related to the Liao envoy?"

"Your Majesty, the Holy Ming Wu Guo!" Xing Shu began to flatter him now: "That's exactly what it is."

Zhao Xu showed a bright smile: "She is really my Zhang Yi and Su Qin!"

Xing Shu was immediately elated.

Su Qin and Zhang Yi are all his idols.

Moreover, both are prime minister-level figures!

Are the officials hinting at me?

Xing Shu was full of energy and said: "How dare I compare with Zhang and Su Xian?"

Zhao Xu rubbed his hands and said to Xing Shu, "Xing She doesn't have to be humble!"

"In this matter, I will give my full support to Scheren no matter what I do!"

"Your Majesty trusts me so much, I am so grateful!" Xing Shu immediately expressed his stance: "I will live up to your Majesty's trust!"

"Yes." Zhao Xu nodded: "Of course I can trust Shiren."

"In the future, I will have more important responsibilities, which I will entrust to the people!"

Xing Shu's heart skipped a beat, and adrenaline was secreted rapidly.

No one can refuse the cake drawn by the emperor.

What's more, this official is only young, but since he came to the throne, the cakes he has drawn for the ministers have finally been implemented.

Xingshu immediately bowed and said, "I am willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty!"



Zhao Xu stayed in the Kaifeng government office until the evening of that day, when the palace was locked, and then he drove back to the palace.

Naturally, he did a lot of things in Kaifeng Mansion.

First, of course, with the assistance of Cai Jing and others, he began to formally contact the daily affairs of Kaifeng Mansion.

Naturally, they are all koans carefully selected and screened by Cai Jing and others.

All good things!

For example, a certain merchant in the east of the city owed the government 20 guan and could not afford to pay it back. The official begged to reduce the debt according to the law.

For example, the officials in the left and right chambers said that it was raining in Bianjing in the early spring, and the people building trenches outside the city had many cases of typhoid fever, and they begged the Kaifeng Prefecture for medicine.

In short, just do good things.

Zhao Xu was naturally obedient and agreed to everything.

In addition to dealing with these matters, Zhao Xu spent most of his time in the meeting hall, listening to Cai Jing and the officials discussing how to rectify the issue of street intrusion in Kaifeng Mansion.

The ministers discussed and discussed, but in the end they were always troubled by the same problem - what if the houses in the city that were invaded by the people and the imperial guards were demolished and invaded the streets and rivers.

Where do they live?

Sleeping on the street?

In the event of large-scale freezing to death outside, who will be responsible?

That must be the person who proposed demolishing their house!

No one dares to take this responsibility!

Not to mention the mutiny of the Forbidden Army that cost lives.

This matter has reached a deadlock.

Fan Chunren and Lu Dafang thought of another strange idea - to expand Bianjing City.

But then there are new problems. Building a new city is a big project!

Don't even think about it if you don't have millions of dollars.

Where to get this money?

You can't just create new problems just to solve one problem, right?

What's more, it's impossible for the imperial court to agree to this.

Because the capital was only rebuilt in the first year of Yuanfeng, the old party gentry were extremely dissatisfied with this matter.

Now, if there is another large-scale construction project, everyone inside and outside the government will criticize it with words and writings.

So, the matter came to a standstill.

Zhao Xu was naturally not in a hurry, and comforted the ministers not to be anxious, and to take their time, there would always be a way.

His attitude calmed the officials.

After returning to the palace, Zhao Xu first went to the Qingshou Palace to say hello, and then went to the Kunning Hall to say hello. He had dinner with the Queen Mother and talked for a while before returning to the Funing Hall.

By this time, it was already midnight in the evening.

Under the service of the female officials, Zhao Xu took a bath, washed, put on clean pajamas, and then went to bed.

He is young now and sleeps well, so he fell asleep quickly.



When Zhao Xu slept soundly.

Many people in Bianjing City are tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

They all already know what happened in Kaifeng Mansion today.

This is normal - even the news within the palace is often spread all over the world. Just Kaifeng Mansion? It is simply a shabby house with air leakage from all sides.

They may not know the details of the conversation between Song Yongchen, Sun Ci and others.

But they must know that when Sun Ci and others were bidding farewell and going out, they were stopped by Song Yongchen and stayed.

And who is Song Yongchen?

One of the most trusted big minks by the late emperor, he is also one of the most trusted big minks among today's officials.

Last year, Daming Prefecture controlled water, built rivers, and built roads, and the officials were in charge of it based on their control.

So, they began to use every possible means to find out what Song Yongchen said to Sun Ci and others.

And the results were quickly returned to these people.

Song Yongchen, on behalf of the emperor, gave these people a new brewing method as a reward.

It is said that this new brewing method is a secret recipe of the palace.

It wasn't until these people heard the news that they put their hanging hearts back into their stomachs.

"Today's officials are really benevolent and generous!" Countless people laughed after hearing about the incident.

"He is indeed a descendant of Renmiao!" Some people were so proud that they even laughed in their hearts at the guys who paid back the money.

"The secret method of the palace?"

Do you really think that they are rich people from the countryside who have never drank the so-called "old wine" in the palace?

hehe!

Now, tens of thousands of dollars of extravagant wealth have been exchanged for this Lao Shizi's 'Palace Secret Technique'.

How funny!

As a result, their attitude towards Sun Ci also changed.

The jealousy and criticism in the past few days have turned into cynicism.

"After all, he's just a Dr. Liquor. He's too reckless!"

"Now, your intestines are full of regret, right?"

"I'm afraid I won't even be able to pay the money to buy music next year! Just in time, I can swallow up those foot shops of his!"

However, they would not know that at this moment, Sun Ci was in the study room at home, looking at the pamphlet written by Yu Ci, his eyes shining brightly.

Because, this booklet not only records the brewing technology, process and steps very clearly with pictures and texts.

More importantly, there is a piece of paper tucked into the booklet.

This paper is Yuan Shu paper, the paper used by the royal family. There are words on the paper.

"A merchant of loyalty!" Sun Ci muttered these four words in a low voice.

Next to these four words, there is also a seal, which is made of small paper.

A treasure made by Yuan You.

The emperor's reign title was Yuanyou, so this is the emperor's private seal?

Sun Ci took a deep breath.

He knew that this piece of paper was priceless!

It should be framed immediately and enshrined in the ancestral hall!

With it, Sun Jiazheng Store in Bianjing City can become the next Yuxian Zheng Store.



At this time, Cao Yan was also looking at the pamphlet sent by Fan Sheng.

A well-illustrated introduction and a detailed and clear winemaking process.

Cao Yan put down the booklet and asked Fan Sheng who was kneeling in front of him: "Is that wine really what you said?"

Fan Sheng paid homage and said, "How dare you, a villain, to deceive your old master?"

Cao Yi looked towards the direction of the imperial city, sighed, returned the pamphlet to Fan Sheng and said, "When you go back, immediately follow the instructions and make various utensils, and then go to the Guanqu Courtyard to buy music!"

"No!" Fan Sheng bowed again, holding the pamphlet, and respectfully exited Cao's house.

Cao Yan looked at Fan Sheng's retreating back and couldn't help but pick up a handkerchief and wipe the sweat from his forehead.

He knew that the Cao family was on the verge of becoming a "passer-by" from the "family" in the official mouth.

Cao Huan, who had been standing next to Cao Yi, noticed this detail and couldn't help but ask: "Sir, why are you so nervous?"

Cao Yi glanced at Cao Huan and said nothing, but said to him: "Please keep an eye on Bianjing City carefully."

"The storm is coming!"

The veins on Cao Huan's forehead couldn't help but twitch. He swallowed and said, "It's not that bad..."

"Besides, there are so many people who owe money! The law does not punish everyone!"

"Haha!" Cao Yi smiled.

Indeed, in this matter, the law does not punish everyone, and it is impossible for the emperor to operate on so many people.

But he can repair it slowly.

Find an excuse today and a reason tomorrow, just like this, you will continue to hinder the advancement of your children and grandchildren.

Even the banquets and festivals in the palace do not invite you.

In this way, a noble family was slowly marginalized.

Even Renmiao knows this method, so why doesn't that official know it?

It should be noted that he is now recognized by both the government and the public as the ‘natural leader’.

‘The Great Song Dynasty became the king’ in the mouth of the governors.

Therefore, Cao Yi predicted from the beginning that those who did not pay back the money would be in big trouble.

Now, after the Emperor has given him a secret method, it is a secret method of brewing that can make a fortune every day.

Cao Yi was even more certain.

Why?

Rewarding merit and punishing demerits is the right of the master!

Now that he has appreciated the wise people, it is time to spank those who refuse to drink and drink as a fine.

Now, it depends on what method he will use to spank those people.

However, it depends on what means he chooses to use to punish those people.

Then we can know whether this His Majesty is Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty or Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty.



The night is hazy.

In the hook fence among the tiles of the Sang family, gentle humming echoed in the small building.

Yeluju closed his eyes and sat in the boudoir of this small building, listening to Master Li's singing.

As he listened, Yeluju sighed: "If I go back to the court, I'm afraid it will be hard to hear such a beautiful singing voice and see the beautiful face of Miss Shishi..."

Xing Shu sat next to him and calmly poured him a glass of wine: "Your envoy will come to Bianjing again in the future. If I am still in the capital, I can still entertain your envoy!"

Yeluju shook his head: "Next time I come back, I don't know what year or month it will be!"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you won't be in Bianjing by then!"

Xing Shu said: "This is the principle of human affairs! As the saying goes: the moon waxes and wanes, people have misfortunes and blessings day and night, that's all, that's all!"

Yeluju sighed.

Of course he knew, even from the beginning, that this Southern Dynasty official had no good intentions towards him.

There must be some intention, and there must be unspeakable intentions.

Therefore, Yeluju initially came with the attitude of eating the sugar coating and sending the shells back.

However, these days, Yeluju found that he was far less determined than he thought.

He had even become addicted to the enjoyment of the Southern Dynasty and was somewhat reluctant to leave Bianjing.

Especially after being left out for two days, Yeluju's mentality changed significantly.

"To receive such great love and courtesy from your noble officer..." Yeluju asked tentatively, "I wonder if there is someone who can repay your honorable officer?"

If this person from the Southern Dynasty wanted him to be a traitor to Daliao, then of course he would not even think about it.

His family, wives, concubines, and children are all in Daliao, and they are all one with Daliao.

Besides, even if he was willing, with the martial ethics of the Southern Dynasties, could he pass Waqiao Pass?

But if it's other aspects...

Then it can be discussed.

Xing Shu looked at Yeluju and said with a smile: "Your envoy and I hit it off as old friends. I only wanted to extend my friendship to the landlord. How dare I ask for repayment?"

"but……"

"If it would be convenient for you..."

"What's convenient?"

Xing Shu laughed heartily: "I have a few friends who are also businessmen. They often make a living in the border market."

"If your envoy is willing to give me the honor to visit their shop and buy some things, it will be a great help to me!"

Yeluju listened, licked his tongue, and his heart started beating, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "It's just a trivial matter, why do you care?"

"Please tell me the names of those friends. I will go to their shops and take a closer look. If the goods are satisfactory and suitable for use, I will try my best to repay your hospitality for these days!"

Xingshu immediately stood up and thanked him: "Well, thank you very much for your envoy!"

"My friends have also said that if your envoys are willing to reward you and purchase their goods, then they will definitely repay you!"

"For example..." Xing Shu leaned close to Yeluju's ear and whispered: "This Master Li can be sent directly to the border market and travel arm-in-arm with your envoy at the border!"

Yeluju's breathing quickened.

"Is this...this...excuse me?"

"It's not a big deal!" Xing Shu's voice, like the whisper of a devil, said in Yeluju's ears: "In addition, my friends are willing to give you more benefits!"

"For example, if your envoy purchases goods and reaches a certain quantity, you will get a rebate!"

"Rebate?" Yeluju swallowed.

"Of course, if the price is less than 100,000 guan, for every 10,000 guan, we will give you 100 guan jiaozi, which will be used by your envoy to pay for carriages and horses, as well as money to polish your pen!"

"If the amount is more than 100,000 guan, we will give you 200 guan for every 10,000 guan!"

Yeluju's eyes widened.

The cost of carriages and horses? The money to polish a pen?

He liked this description.

only……

"To be honest, your Majesty, this procurement matter cannot be made by any one person..."

"There are people from various departments in the mission who are also involved!"

Xing Shu smiled mysteriously and said: "It doesn't matter, my friends all like to make friends."

"Wang Bo's poem said: There are close friends in the sea, and we are as close as our neighbors to the end of the world!"

"If your envoy is willing, you can recommend some trustworthy friends from Daliao to me."

"Everyone can make money together!"

"Can we make money together?"

"Let's make money together!" Yeluju chewed on these words and then nodded.

The past two days have been extremely poor, and Kavinka is even more of a headache today.

I'm really sorry, I'll try to update it tomorrow.
