Speaking of Zhang Jun, it seems that more than two years have passed since the last time his home was raided.

I heard that in the past two years or so, Zhang Jun has not become depressed because his home was confiscated in Hangzhou Prefecture, but has become like a duck in water.

This person still has to use the right place!

Japan was famous as a gold and silver producer in ancient times, and Zhao Ning still had this historical knowledge.

Wang Zonglio said: "There have long been rumors among the people that Japan is rich in gold and silver, and I have heard a lot about it. But how did the imperial court obtain gold and silver from there? This is not an easy task."

"Since Zhenzong, our dynasty has had a tradition of opening up trade with Japan along the coast. We have indeed obtained a lot of gold and silver, but most of it is among the people, and it is impossible to verify the amount of profits made by private merchants." Zhao Ning said, "What I want is

The imperial court can get the gold and silver."

Qian Yuqing said: "This is not difficult. The Japanese like the poetry, calligraphy and painting of our dynasty the most, especially the calligraphy, painting and poetry of Su Zizhan, Huang Tingjian and others."

"Those were priceless in the Song Dynasty." Wang Zongliu said.

"What I mean is that copying manuscripts does not require the original work." Qian Yuqing said, "The Four Treasures of the Study are also highly sought after in Japan. They are the only choice for Japanese people to join the upper class of the aristocracy."

"You mean to exchange these for gold and silver?"

"These can definitely be exchanged for gold and silver."

"You personally supervise the Hangzhou Shipping Department on this matter," Zhao Ning said.

"yes."

After saying this, Zhao Ning got on his horse and walked around again.

Unknowingly, I had reached the vicinity of the official road leading to Nanxun Gate.

At this time, there was an endless stream of business travelers near the official road, and cart after cart of goods were loaded on the backs of horse-drawn carriages and transported into the city.

At the city gate, the officials responsible for checking in and out were busy.

The population flow in Tokyo city exceeds that of previous dynasties.

Because commerce is unprecedentedly developed, farmers are very free to move into cities if they want.

Even at the gate of the city, there are officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs who will keep statistics on people entering the city.

For example, at this time, there was a group of ragged people gathering on one side.

Another official came over and said to those people: "Follow me to the city and go to the Kaifeng government office to register. Once the registration is completed, I will arrange a place for you to stay and eat. You will start working tomorrow and you will be paid 10 cents a day."

According to the price of a steamed bun in Tokyo, which is 10 cents a day, including food and accommodation, these people can definitely survive.

Everyone had smiles on their faces and followed the official into the city.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Ning was used to it, because these had existed as early as the Renzong era.

Later, Song Huizong and Cai Jing also established nursing homes and Anjiyuan. In order to please Cai Jing, local officials began to vigorously develop the social welfare system, which made the already difficult financial situation of the Song Dynasty even worse.

Later, those games gradually became unplayable.

On the contrary, this system of finding jobs for refugees has been preserved since the Renzong era.

If you are one of the refugees and feel that the work here is too hard and tiring and you don’t want to work anymore, you can do it. You are free to resign. You can just lie down on the streets of Tokyo and beg for food. No one will say anything to you, but you may often be policed.

Personnel stared.

In the past, the Song Dynasty used culture to govern the country. Although the martial arts was a bit poor, the social customs were very good.

These fine traditions were not disrupted by Zhao Ning. Instead, they became better with the growth of finances and jobs.

Suddenly, there was a burst of noise on the official road between the woods ahead.

Zhao Ning was immediately attracted by the noise.

I saw a group of people gathered around the official road and blocked it.

The officials at the city gate sent two officials and several government officials to walk over there.

Zhao Ning asked: "Let's go over and have a look."

"Is there any danger?" Wang Zonglio asked.

"There is no danger anywhere at the gate of the capital. From now on, this place will be the place where people live. If there is danger, the officials of Kaifeng Mansion can get out." After saying that, Zhao Ning rode over.

A group of people around him quickly followed.

When Zhao Ning got near the crowd, he heard the noise coming from inside.

"It's obvious that you disturbed my mother. Instead of apologizing, you still want to hit her?" A man's voice came from the crowd.

"You are so bold! Do you know who these people are? How dare you blackmail and act recklessly here!"

The person who responded was a middle-aged man, wearing an official uniform, but he spoke with a strong Wu accent. You could tell he was from the Jiangnan area, and his accent was very similar to that of Qian Yuqing and Qian Jinshu.

Wang Zonglio asked doubtfully: "Is it an official from Jiangnan who came to Beijing?"

Qian Yuqing was also quite puzzled: "It seems like he is an official from the Shipping Department, why are you here in the capital?"

Looking at the people on horseback behind, Qian Yuqing immediately understood: "They are the cannibals. I remembered that the officials wanted to summon those cannibals before, so I sent an order to Hangzhou to announce their arrival in the capital.

It should be this group of people."

If we were in Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, it would be normal to see cannibalism, but in Bianjing in the Song Dynasty, it would be very shocking to see cannibalism.

Since the Anshi Rebellion, China has become more and more strict with the Hua-Yi debate.

The Han people are also becoming more and more wary of foreigners.

It can be seen from the clothing that the Han people in the Song Dynasty were not allowed to wear foreign clothes. If you dared to wear it, the officials would dare to arrest you and punish you!

In the Tang Dynasty, ordinary people might wear the clothes of the barbarians. In Chang'an City, it was normal to deal with the barbarians.

During the quarrel, the officials at the city gate and several government servants had already arrived.

"What happened?" the official asked.

Seeing that official, Zhao Ning felt a bit familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.

He couldn't remember it for a while, after all, he saw too many people.

"Sir, I brought my mother to Beijing. We were walking smoothly on the road. Their horses ran too fast and disturbed my mother. They even came down and slapped me. I wanted to fight back. There were many of them. I

I couldn't beat him, so I was beaten by them." The man said.

It can be seen that he is a simple and honest man. He has been working in farming all year round and his skin is tanned.

Zheng Xi walked in front of those people, looked at them, then his eyes fell on the official, and asked: "Where does this colleague come from?"

The official was riding on the horse and without even looking at Zheng Xi, he snorted coldly: "You are an official and I am an official. What qualifications do you have to call me a colleague?"

Zheng Xi was not angry and said: "The imperial court has undergone a civil service restructuring. The officials and officials are all part of the imperial court, and we are colleagues."

"Hahaha, a little gatekeeper dares to climb up here. I advise you to get out of the way. There are my distinguished guests from the Song Dynasty here. If you disturb them, your ten heads are not enough to chop them off!

"

Zheng Xi looked at the big cannibals again, and saw that they looked arrogant, talking in nonsense, and snickering on their faces.
Chapter completed!
