Chapter 311 Luoyang Revitalization Plan
On the streets of Kaifeng City, five or six old men were shirtless, holding hands, each carrying a jar of fine wine, walking unscrupulously in the middle of the road, without allowing anyone to come, and sang loudly, so arrogant.
But no matter how arrogant others are, they have to endure it. They are: Fu Yanqing, Wang Yanchao, Bai Chongyun, and Guo Congyi. None of them are under the age of 60. At this time, even if Zhao Pu has urgent matters, he has to follow their butts and rub them slowly.
Just today, Zhao Kuangyin personally arranged a drink and invited several respected veteran Shatuo to drink and have fun in the palace. During the meal, Zhao Kuangyin asked them what their contributions were. The old guys started to blow with the alcohol. After more than an hour, Zhao Kuangyin only said one sentence.
"What is this a different generation of events?"
Then, a few old people handed over the military power. They got together and didn't know whether to cry or laugh, but they could only use alcohol to make a fuss.
Are you wronged? But what Zhao Kuangyin said is nothing wrong. What you are talking about is the affairs of the Later Tang and Later Jin and Later Han, and even the Later Zhou dynasties are rarely done. Can you tell me, the Emperor of Song?
These are Fu Yanqing's old buddies, who can be much younger than him? Now the world is not late in the Tang Dynasty, and the Jiedushi is not hereditary, so why bother to hold on? It's over fifty years, but they are just fighting randomly. After all, they have fought for the rest of their lives, at least they have become rich and idle people.
From now on, every inch of the land in the Song Dynasty was really in the hands of Zhao Kuangyin himself. He only took two meals of wine to get everything that Chai Rong could not do and Li Cunxu could not do.
Of course, this is also a good time for him to catch up. If these veterans were twenty years younger, they would probably be in chaos.
Several veterans were walking and singing while drinking. Suddenly, Sun Chunming stopped them at some point, bowed with a smile, and said, "All the veterans have arrived at Xiaguan's doorstep. Don't come in and have a drink before leaving? I have prepared a novel wine and have a drink to enjoy my face?"
When everyone heard this, they looked around in a daze and found that they had walked to Fengle Tower without realizing it.
The other people didn't know Sun Chunming. To be honest, they were the biggest today. Zhao Kuangyin didn't want to give him any face, so he naturally wouldn't be able to beat him. Guo Congyi, who has the most temper, opened his mouth and scolded him. But Fu Yanqing smiled and said, "Oh, it's true that you've been going to your house after turning around. Hahaha, I've heard that the wine in Fenglelou is the best in the world. The old man has never tasted it. Come on, brothers, let's go in and taste it, don't give him money, hahaha!"
"It's easy to say, I'll naturally invite a few veteran generals to this wine today."
Everyone was also headed by Fu Yanqing. When they saw that he was going to go in and drink, they naturally had nothing to say. Nothing was not drinking, so they followed him to the top floor to the elegant seat.
"Sun Chunming? It turns out that you are Sun Chunming, and you have long admired the name of Daqi."
"I dare not, I dare not, in front of you, I can't say anything about my reputation. Come on, I wish you a bowl."
"A bowl is not enough, you have to toast a bowl for each person."
"Okay, then I'll respect each person and a bowl. For this first bowl, I'll respect the King of Wei first. In the battle of Yangcheng, the King of Wei defeated 80,000 Khitan tigers and wolves against the wind with only 10,000 soldiers and horses. He was the most brave in the world. I'll do this bowl."
"This second bowl of the old general Jingwang, the veteran general worked hard and made great contributions. He defeated more than 30,000 people from the Southern Tang Dynasty with two thousand partial troops, and chased the enemy for more than 20 miles. He established the strong position of the Central Plains in one fell swoop and made the Southern Tang Dynasty surrender to this day. It is really the style of a national scholar. I have done it."
…………
Sun Chunming is very good at dealing with people, old men, as long as you talk more about their proud things when they were young, they will have a lot of favor towards you. They respected each other one after another. Although the respected head was a little confused, they made the old men very happy.
After finally finishing the toast, everyone started chatting on the table. The more they chatted, they became more and more excited, and soon they got along with them. After all, Sun Chunming's level of knowledge is here. The most important thing is that he is actually not much younger than these old men in terms of psychological age, and he has common topics.
"Brother Fu, this is the Quan Zhihe-Nan Mansion you recommended to the official family? Not bad, indeed good, I like it, hahahahahahaha."
Sun Chunming smiled and said, "A few veteran generals are going to Luoyang to go to Luoyang to retire with the King of Wei? Then the relationship is good, and the order for the younger generation has also been sent. It is Quanzhihe-Nan Mansion in Luoyang. Thanks to the King of Wei's words for me."
"It's not bad, you can be this Quan Zhihe-Nan Mansion. Don't worry, we old guys will definitely not cause trouble for you."
"Just about to tell you about this, I went to Luoyang to take office this time. Except for the Fengle Building, I plan to bring all the industries and move them all over the family. Of course, I still have to stay in Kaifeng for official duties."
Fu Yanqing said in surprise: "Oh? I heard that Luoyang City is now very broken. It has only the name of Xijing, but it is not the reality of Xijing. As far as I know, Chun Ge'er's business with the Cao Fang family is almost Paul's industry. The three families account for the first, second, and third richest man in the Song Dynasty. Wouldn't it be a death to move to Luoyang with such a large size?"
Sun Chunming smiled and said, "As an official, it will benefit the people. This is the first time I left Beijing to serve as a parent official, so I naturally have to do my best. I plan to rebuild Luoyang and restore the prosperity of the former Shenhuo, but I still need the strong help of the veteran generals."
Everyone looked at each other, letting Luoyang restore the style of the Shendu? This is talking in a sleep.
Sun Chunming smiled and said, "Of course I have something to rely on, I have this thing."
As he said that, Sun Chunming took out a big box and opened it. There were several dazzling and beautiful ornaments.
"This is……"
"I call it glass, but it's just a different way of glass. I've been studying this thing for many years and spent more than two or three million yuan, and finally succeeded."
As he said that, Sun Chunming took out a transparent glass and said, "A cup like this can reduce the production cost to 60 yuan. I don't know this thing in the early stage. I think it should be no problem to sell it for 60 yuan. This is a profit of 1,000 times. Do you think that with this thing, can Luoyang be revitalized?"
"This...this thing costs only sixty?"
"Not bad, but this is the cost of large-scale production. The younger generation plans to build Luoyang into a glass city with glass as the main focus, invest and build factories on a large scale, and even pay for the repair of the canal by themselves. Nearly a hundred Kaifeng merchants have mixed shares in it, but it is still a little bit worse. Are you interested in mixing a group of people? Leave some industries for future generations, and you are not afraid of them losing their fortunes."
You should know that although Zhao Kuangyin arrested power, he was quite generous with money. In order to let these old guys retire, he once again spent all his treasury, money, cloth and a large amount of fertile land. The rewards seemed to be not his own, and they all went into their pockets. In addition, these veterans have been in power for so many years, who has not had a savings of one or two million yuan?
