After sending everyone out, Qian Yuqing came back.

"This official Zhao didn't entertain you well, so why don't you invite Haihan?"

Zhao Ning stood up and said, "I drove away your guests, and it's me who should apologize."

"No, no." Qian Jinshu said, "The business in Tokyo is too deep. I'm afraid we, brother and sister, are not able to handle it."

Qian Yuqing also said with emotion: "I never expected that we couldn't sell it at such a low price. We brothers and sisters should go back to Hangzhou and do business with peace of mind. We really can't touch this business in Tokyo."

Zhao Ning said: "There is no need to be discouraged, I actually know some people in Tokyo."

Qian Yuqing smiled bitterly and said nothing. Could it be that this official from Zhao really knew Taiwei Wang?

He doesn't expect anything.

Zhao Ning said, "I actually have an important matter to discuss with Miss Qian during my visit this time."

Qian Jinshu said: "What's the official business?"

"I heard that Hangzhou Shipping Department has many overseas trades?"

"The Shipping Department of Hangzhou City is true that there is a lot of overseas trade, and most of them go to Korea, Japan and Southeast Asia. Why do the officials ask this?"

"I also have some goods that I want to sell overseas and make some money, but I have no acquaintances in Hangzhou, so I came to visit Miss Qian. I heard that you have a lot of food and I want to do some business with you."

"Oh, how does the official want to do this deal?"

"I have friends in Denglai who need a large amount of food. You only need to ship the food from Hangzhou to Denglai."

"How much do you need?"

"As much as you want."

The brother and sister looked at each other. This official Zhao's needs were really strange.

Denlay?

I have never heard that there is a food shortage along the coast of Qilu land!

Zhao Ning asked: "I wonder if that's okay?"

Qian Jinshu said: "It's okay, but..."

Zhao Ning added: "I know that we have never cooperated. You can't trust me yet. This is human nature. How about this, I will help you clear the obstacles to the Tokyo business, and you will help me open the North Shipping business in Hangzhou. how?"

Qian Yuqing looked at Zhao Ning carefully again. He didn't think this young man looked like someone who had eaten brain fragments!

I think I really have some connections in Tokyo.

"Since Zhao Guanren is sincerely cooperating, we naturally welcome it. What do we need to do next?"

"You don't have to do anything, someone will come to you, and you will know when the time comes."

Zhao Ning didn't stay long, chatted for a while, and then left.

The main thing is to understand some of the customs and customs of Hangzhou. Hangzhou was also a prosperous city in the Northern Song Dynasty. After decades of vigorous development, the population, commerce, and agriculture were all very prosperous.

Especially the Hangzhou Shipping Department is very frequent in overseas trade.

Zhao Ning returned to the palace all the way.

Wang Zonglio finally had some free time and went to Chunfeng Tower to talk to Ruhua about life. In the room, maybe because it was too hot, he even took off his coat.

At this time, people from the Imperial City Division broke into the door, scaring our Captain Wang so much that he jumped up.

If Wang Zongli knew that it was Zhou Yan and his group who forced him to enter the palace late at night, he would definitely send someone over to beat Zhou Yan severely.

Wang Zongliu reluctantly lifted up his pants and cursed, asking how could his nephew, a dog, get into so many troubles and not make others feel better!

After entering the Hall of Wende, Zhao Ning asked: "I heard that you are going to summon all the famous wealthy businessmen in Tokyo in a few days?"

Wang Zongliu said: "The officials are clever and clever. This matter cannot be hidden from the officials. Didn't the Trading Bureau have been set up? These trading companies need to be registered. I thought about it and asked those famous businessmen to come over first and ask them to cooperate obediently. Then affect other businessmen.”

"You did a great job."

Wang Zonglio breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he would be threatened again by Zhao Guan's family when he entered the palace at night.

"It's all a good reminder from the officials."

"What do you think of the current food prices in Tokyo?"

Wang Zongliu was stunned for a moment. He really didn't know the current food price situation in Tokyo in detail.

He had just accepted Taifu Temple, and the previous management of the grain merchants was with the Ministry of Revenue, so it was impossible for the affairs to be transferred there so quickly.

But Zhao Guanjia asked, and Wang Zonglio also answered bravely: "Expensive!"

He quickly added: "But it's already very good."

"oh?"

"During the Xuanhe period, at its peak, every kilogram of grain went to Wuguan. Now it only goes to two. In addition, there have been wars every year in the past few years. Gyeongsang Province has also suffered from wars. Refugees from Hebei and Hedong have gone south, so the price of grain can be maintained.

Two wins is already pretty good.”

"You mean, the Ministry of Finance is doing a pretty good job in this matter?"

"Not bad!" Wang Zonglio would definitely not dig a hole for himself. If he said that the Ministry of Revenue was not doing well, the emperor would immediately throw the matter to him and give him an order to lower grain prices.

Wang Taiwei will definitely not do this kind of thing of shooting himself in the foot!

But who knew that Zhao Guan's family is a shameless person. No matter what you say, the order is given directly: "If I ask you to lower the price of grain again, to 700 pence per stone, can you lower it?"

Wang Zonglio immediately said: "This is impossible, there is not that much food, and the currency depreciation caused by Cai Jing's previous casting of large amounts of money cannot be suppressed at will."

Zhao Ning said: "During the reign of Emperor Shenzong, the price of food in Tokyo was only three hundred cents per stone, and in other places it would not exceed seven hundred cents."

"I just collected four million shi of grain on Gyeonggi Road. Can I take 1 million shi and sell it to you?"

"this……"

"Can you."

"I can go try it."

"I want you to promise."

"Guan Jia, you can't always force me. Isn't this bullying an honest person?"

"Uncle, you should be glad that I just bullied you. Go ask those whose heads are hanging on the city wall, did I bully them?"

Wang Zonglio immediately retracted his neck: "Okay, I promise!"

"Zhou Yan is your subordinate?"

"Zhou Yan?"

"They all promoted Yuanwailang, the director of the Yi Department of the City."

"It seems there is such a person."

"What does he mainly do on weekdays?"

"He seems to be responsible for the inspection, registration and passage of trading ships in the Bianhe River."

"All trade ships traveling to and from the Bianhe River must pass through him?"

"Yes."

"Go and ask him if the price of food can be reduced to 700 pence per stone."

"Yes, I will go find him now. Do you have any other orders from the official?"

"Send someone to Qian's house near the Wuchengwang Temple to find a man named Qian Yuqing. This man is a businessman from Hangzhou and wants to do business in Tokyo. He has a lot of grain in his hands."

Wang Zonglio quickly remembered.

"My purpose is to let him collect grain locally in Hangzhou, transport it by sea from Hangzhou, and mobilize grain to supply Denglai."

"Supply Denglai?"

"I plan to build a military town in Denglai, enter Liaodong Island, unite with Goryeo, and restrain the Jin Kingdom from the rear."

Wang Zonglio was greatly surprised. He did not expect that this matter would involve military and national affairs.

"Don't make this matter public, and don't tell others."

"yes."

After Wang Zonglio came out of the palace, all his elegance was gone.

He immediately asked people to look for Zhou Yan overnight.

When Zhou Yan heard that his immediate boss was looking for him, he hurriedly ran to Wang Zonglio's house.

Wang Zongliu asked: "What is the current price of food in Tokyo?"

Being able to suddenly see his immediate boss, Zhou Yan was naturally excited and speechless. He quickly said: "If you reply to Lieutenant Wang, you will have two goals for every stone."

"Do you review all merchant ships entering Beijing from Bianhe River?"

"Yes, I will review them one by one and meet all the merchants in person."
