Chapter 272 Chen Shilang’s friend Zongze of the same age (first update)
Gao Zhang finally left the Liao envoy's residence with a burp of wine, boarded the carriage, and began to close his eyes and meditate in the carriage.
I have consumed too much energy today, but there are still many major things that need to be dealt with.
For example, the two things I talked about today with my sworn brother Xiao, whether it was currency export or cultural export, were absolutely beneficial to the Song Dynasty.
It's just that people in this era may not understand how to obtain sufficient benefits and benefits.
But if others don’t know, how can Gao Zhang not know?
In order to carry out the armament reform of the Song Dynasty, I created so much hydraulic pressure. That thing is a good treasure for making money.
Of course, there is no way to use a stamping machine to make bronze money. However, the Song Dynasty not only used bronze money to make money, but also used a large amount of iron money.
There was no way, the Song Dynasty was an era of extremely developed commodity economy, which led to a huge gap in the money supply.
Under this situation, not only did Jiaozi appear in the Song Dynasty, but a large amount of iron money hit the market.
Although many people within the Song Dynasty despised those iron coins.
But the problem is that the Song Dynasty and the surrounding Liao, Xixia, Nanzhao, and even the Nanyang countries, Japan, Silla, etc.
All money made from the Song Dynasty is used, regardless of the iron and copper materials. As long as it is made from the Song Dynasty, it is good currency and hard currency.
When he thought that the Song Dynasty already had the capital of monetary hegemony but did not know how to make good use of it, Gao Zhang felt heartbroken.
Fortunately, I'm here. Thinking about how the beautiful country will work in the future, any time-travelling person with a little bit of brains can definitely operate it.
What's more, now that he, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, has all his favorite ministers and disciples, he also has a good father behind him.
I also have the authority to conduct diplomatic negotiations with the Liao State. If I don't engage in it, I would be really sorry for myself.
As for books, haha... do you understand cultural export? You don't understand, I understand.
The surrounding countries all took pride in possessing the classics and periodicals of the Song Dynasty. Laozi, who had the four great inventions in his hands, developed a hydraulic movable type money printing machine, ah... movable type printing machinery.
It can not only increase the speed, breadth and depth of spreading Chinese civilization and culture, but also earn a lot of wealth. Why not do it?
When I think about it, I feel full of fighting spirit. The only thing missing now is craftsmen, craftsmen, craftsmen.
Touching his chin, Gao Zhang began to miss the pair of sleeping dragon and phoenix chicks. It had been a few days since he had sat down and had an in-depth exchange with them. Today was a good time.
Gao Zhang opened the curtains of the carriage and ordered them to invite the good brothers Cai Laoliu and Tong Zhisheng to come over quickly, and he would go to the old place where he had a dinner date to wait for them.
#####
Gao Zhang got off the carriage, lifted up his shirt, walked into the restaurant, and went straight to the private room on the second floor.
As soon as I arrived on the second floor, I saw a rather burly middle-aged man with slightly frosty temples standing in front of a private room, hesitating. Then, I heard a familiar greeting from behind.
Voice.
"Hey, it's Xiao Gao who is the number one scholar."
Gao Zhang subconsciously turned his head and saw Chen Shilang striding towards him.
"It turns out to be Minister Chen, why are you here too?"
Chen Shilang returned the salute to Gao Zhang and raised his hand to signal to the middle-aged man with slightly frosty temples.
"Chen came to see Zong Ze Zong Rulin of the same year whom he has known for many years..."
"Brother Rulin, come here, let me introduce you to him. This is the child prodigy Gao Zhang and Gao Guizhang who won two prizes in a row at the age of eleven this year."
As if his brain had been electrocuted, Gao Zhang slowly turned his head with a stiff neck, and gradually turned around.
He looked at this middle-aged man who was in his forties and seemed to be in his prime.
His appearance is not very outstanding, but his thick eyebrows and the sharp eyes under the thick eyebrows are unforgettable.
At this moment, Zongze was also looking at Gao Zhang, looking at his small body and his handsome little face.
"Xiaguan has met Gao Si Cheng. When he was in Laizhou, he had already heard the rumor that Gao Si Cheng had become the youngest number one scholar in the Song Dynasty. When I saw him today, it was really extraordinary."
"Furthermore, Xiaguan has also read several articles written by Gaosi Cheng on the provincial and imperial examinations. They really hit the mark, are thought-provoking, and make Xiaguan deeply admired."
It was really unbelievable. After all, I had only heard about it before, but when I saw it in person, it was actually a child. The impact was even more shocking.
What's more, this child prodigy champion was only eleven years old, but he dared to face difficulties and actually took on the heavy responsibility of the Song Dynasty's armament reform, and he had already made achievements.
Originally, in Zongze's mind, he felt that this child just had some literary talents.
In fact, it was probably the official's favor for his biological father, the ball-playing captain Gao Qiu, that allowed him to be so highly used.
But when he really achieved results, and he punished evil and promoted good in Tokyo, his reputation was excellent.
When he was still working in Laizhou Glue, his friend Chen Shilang of the same year wrote to him a letter in which he also praised the prodigy champion, which greatly changed his impression of Gao Zhang.
"So you are Zongze..." Gao Zhang took a deep breath and tried to restore his frightened expression to normal.
As a person with high emotional intelligence, I know very well when facing these people, I know who they are, but the other person doesn't know who they are.
You still have to control your emotions to avoid scaring the other person.
Even so, Zongze and Chen Shilang also felt that this young man was a little strange, but Gao Zhang's next words immediately made these two feel comfortable and a little flattered.
"To be regarded as a friend of the same age by Shilang Chen, I think he must be an outstanding talent."
"It is also Zhang's blessing to have the honor to meet him. You two are here to taste the delicacies of this restaurant. If you don't give up, please let Zhang be your host..."
"Ah this..." Zongze had never dealt with Gao Zhang, but he was still moved by Gao Zhang's enthusiasm, but after all, he was not a man of words.
And since I met Chen Shilang here today, I naturally wanted to talk about my future.
If there was more of this young man, I'm afraid...
Chen Shilang blinked, showed a meaningful smile, and winked at Zongze frequently.
"Since Xiao Gao, the top scholar, invites you kindly, I won't be polite, and Brother Rulin, you shouldn't be polite either.
Don't forget that Xiao Gao is still a child, but his conversation and knowledge are definitely not inferior to you and me..."
Zongze was pulled into the private room, and Gao Zhang turned his head and raised his fingers towards his follower Fu'an who was standing at the door looking in with a strange expression.
"If Tong Dalang and Cai Liulang come later, I will arrange a new private room for them and tell them that I am delayed for something.
But don’t worry, they have enough food and wine, and if you want to ask a young lady to come sing and accompany the meal, there’s no problem, I’ll pay for it.”
