I was the richest man in Da Song

Chapter 10 Support
When He Shao came back, it was already light, and He Anwen was still awake, sitting under the eaves with Ji Zai, staring at the scorched ruins in a daze.

"You were so tired a while ago, just so you can take a rest." He Shao could only comfort him in this way.

"I thought there was hope for the future, and I saved some money to buy you a house, and I saved some dowry to say that I have a good family, but now it's all gone."

He Anwen was a little disappointed. At his age, he no longer had much hope for life, and all he lived was for these two sons.

"I can make this fragrant butcher shop prosperous, and the rest is no problem. You just watch it at home."

He Shao brought He Anwen into the house, even the old man in Midsummer might not be able to bear the chill in the early morning.

Now that he is alone and weak, he must have a helper when he meets a giant like Fan Lou.

After calculating Dou En's holiday, He Shao went to the agreed Wanchun Tower early.

Wanchun Tower is the restaurant second only to Fan Tower in Kaifeng City. The four-story wooden building is even on the same level as the palace gate. It's a bit weird, but it's a lot more tolerant than other emperors.

At night, the Wanchun Building is brightly lit, and there are no less than a hundred lanterns, large and small, hanging under the eaves of the four-story wooden building.

He Shao originally wanted to go alone, but no matter what he said, He Si followed behind him without saying a word, so he had no choice but to let him accompany him.

As soon as you enter the Wanchun Building, you can feel the magnificence and style different from the roadside corner store. Inside the Wanchun Building, there are carved beams and painted buildings, and there are many famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, including the calligraphy and calligraphy of the prime minister Li Hang. He Shao felt a little familiar in the handwriting.

He Shao sat in the elegant room while drinking while waiting for Dou En. He didn't feel anything after drinking a glass of wine.

"Ah Si, let's see how it tastes"

He Si's eyes lit up after he drank it all in one gulp.

"I used to pass by some taverns when I was begging, and some people would give up a few sips, but this is the best wine I have ever had"

This kind of big wine from Wanchun Tower is already the best wine. After all, the price of [-] yuan a catty is here, but in He Shao's eyes, it is very ordinary.

Most of the wine brewed in the Song Dynasty was fermented rice wine. This kind of wine was around six degrees. Every time he drank this kind of wine, He Shao always felt dull.

Wu Song, who used to think that three bowls were not good enough, was a fierce man of the generation, but since he tasted Song wine, he was full of disdain. Can beer be intoxicating?
"Would you believe me if I told you I could make better wine than this?"

"I believe!"

He Si smiled silly and nodded.

Before waiting for Dou En, someone found He Shao first, and a young man who was not a few years older than He Shao opened the curtain and walked in.

"You are..." He Shao thought for a while, but he didn't seem to know the person in front of him.

"I'm Yang Shiliang, my father Yang Wanchun"

He Shao hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands. Yang Wanchun was a legendary figure on the streets of Kaifeng City. He built the Wanchun Tower from scratch and became one of the wealthy merchants in Kaifeng Prefecture.

"It turned out to be the young shopkeeper of Wanchunlou, sorry for your disrespect."

"I beg He Langjun to forgive me for disturbing you."

"Where, please sit down"

There are 72 main stores in Kaifeng City, and nearly [-] corner stores. Fan Lou is the head of main stores, and Wanchun Lou is second only to Fan Lou.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Yang Shiliang also entered the theme.

"He Langjun's fragrant meat shop is now famous in Kaifeng City"

"It's just a small fight, how can it compare with a real store like Wanchunlou?" He Shao laughed.

"To be honest, although Wanchunlou is relatively well-known in Kaifeng Chengzhengdian, it has always been overwhelmed by Fanlou. If there is He Langjun's cooking recipe, it will be even more powerful. Maybe it can be compared with this Fan Lou competes against each other"

Sure enough, it was still aimed at the formula, but compared to the arrogant Yu Futong.Yang Wanchun acted as if he was here to discuss business.

"It's not that the formula cannot be given, it depends on the sincerity of the young shopkeeper."

Yang Shiliang ordered someone to find He Anwen before but was rejected. Unexpectedly, He Shao's tone was a little loose. He still doesn't know that the fragrant meat shop has been burned down.

"How much money you ask, as long as I can afford it, I will never pay twice"

"Five thousand strings?"

He Shao tried to ask, he also wanted to know how much his secret recipe was worth.

A strong laborer in Kaifeng City earns about [-] yuan a day, and [-] yuan is a huge fortune that they will never earn in their entire lives, but Yang Shiliang agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, I will tell them to prepare the money now"

"It seems that the price is too low." He Shao touched his nose.

"Do you regret it?" Yang Shiliang asked.

"It's okay to regret it, but the price can't be [-] guan"

"We are all businessmen who value credibility first, since we have negotiated a good price, we can't change it," Yang Shiliang said with a frown.

"Brother Yang misunderstood, the price of five thousand guan is a bit expensive, I don't want to offer the secret recipe with both hands."

"what?"

Yang Shiliang wondered if his ears had misheard.

"But before that, I want to ask, is my secret recipe really so valuable?"

According to He Shao's own estimate, the secret recipe of a dish is only one or two thousand guan at most, and even a fragrant meat shop is only three or four thousand guan, which is not as valuable as the secret recipe of a dish.

"The most expensive secret recipe bought by the Yang family for many years in the restaurant was only a thousand guan, I tasted it myself before deciding to buy your secret recipe.

There are several flavors in the head meat and yuan hoof in the Xiangbutcher shop that I have never seen before. It is not so much to buy the secret recipe, but to buy these unique flavors.

Therefore, whether it is Wanchun Building or Fan Building, as long as it is a regular store in Kaifeng City, they will try their best to buy it. "

"I see"

The taste that He Shao was familiar with was unique in the Song Dynasty.

"Then what you said just now..." Yang Shiliang was afraid that He Shao would regret it.

"I offer the secret recipe with both hands, but I have a favor and I want to ask Brother Yang for help."

There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, so in order to get this secret recipe, Yang Shiliang naturally had no choice but to agree.

The two chatted happily until He Si whispered that Dou En was coming.

Seeing that He Shao had other things to do, Yang Shiliang resigned and left very tactfully, and Dou En happened to meet the second young master of Wanchunlou before entering the door, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled as a greeting.

"Dou knows that I got carried away talking with Mr. Yang just now, please forgive me for not going out to greet him." He Shao stood up and apologized.

"He Langjun is very familiar with this young shopkeeper of Wanchun Building?"

Although Yang Wanchun did not have an official status in Kaifeng City, he was still a respectable figure. Because of his generous spending and strong financial resources, he had a good relationship with many important court officials.

"That's natural, there's some cooperation between us"

He Shao knew that his words were insignificant, so he deliberately used the tiger's skin as a banner.

Sure enough, the smile on Dou En's face became stronger, this time he came at the right time, if he could get Yang Wanchun to get through the relationship in the palace for him through He Shao, even if he couldn't be promoted, he could still get another job.

"I don't know what order He Langjun invited me to come tonight." Dou En put away his airs.

"Dou and I both know we hit it off, so I won't hide some things."

"Yes, that's how it should be," Dou En said with a smile.

"Dou knows that in the palace, the monthly salary plus the gift of clothes is at most twenty guan."

The salary of officials in the Song Dynasty was several times higher than that of other dynasties, but the salary in the early Song Dynasty was not so exaggerated, and the salary of internal officials was a quarter of that of court officials of the same rank.

"Could He Langjun come to laugh at me?"

In front of outsiders, the fifth-rank internal official is very beautiful, and only Dou En knows the embarrassment, and Dou En is not happy about being exposed.

Those internal officials with a higher status than him are kicked out of the palace and live on the streets almost every year because they say a wrong word and do a wrong thing. He will not be the next one, so Dou En is cautious no matter who he treats. And don't miss every opportunity to make money.

"Dou knows that I misunderstood. You know how many times I have made my fragrant butcher shop famous. I have a few burdens to dare to laugh at you."

"As long as you know"

"I haven't found a chance to thank you very much, so I invited you out."

"He Langjun and I met each other too late, it doesn't matter whether we thank you or not"

Dou En was happy in his heart, but he was still very humble in his mouth.

"It would be a bit clichéd to send gold and silver directly."

Hearing this, Dou En's heart skipped a beat.

"I cooperate with people to do some business, and I want to give Duzhi a [-]% profit"

Dou En wouldn't have cared about it before switching to the store. The corner store is not as good as the main store, and the monthly profit is not much. But just now I saw Yang Shiliang. If there is Wanchun Tower behind him, it means a lot of money.

Dou En's smile was even stronger, as if you knew me too.

"Brother He, I'd rather be respectful than obey my orders."

"Besides, with your talent, it's a pity to be a little dude."

If He Shaoruo pointed out something, a wise man doesn't need to speak clearly.

"Okay, okay, Brother He, if you have anything to do in the future, just tell me, I will help you if I can help you"

Dou En thought that he would ask Yang Wanchun to help him get through some relationships, and the thing he had dreamed of for many years was finally coming true. He didn't care about being more than 20 years older than He Shao, and called each other kindly.

He Shao didn't know Yang Wanchun, but he dared to recommend an internal official so confidently. The biggest reliance was that he knew that in the near future, there would be a woman in the Song Dynasty, who would be called the imperial court, who could be compared with the Empress Lu of the Han Dynasty, and the Empress of the Tang Dynasty. The person who is compared with Empress Wu is Liu E, an orphan girl from Shu.

"Your Majesty has a concubine named Liu E?"

"Yes, just a sixth-class nobleman"

A nobleman is considered the lowest rank in the harem, even if you see him, you have to be polite, so Dou En thought for a long time before he remembered that there was such a person.

"If she has any troubles or needs, you can tell me, often walk around with her, and there will be unexpected gains in the future"

It is now five years in Xianping, and Liu E is still only the lowest nobleman, and there are still five or six years before he becomes powerful.

He Shao has enough time to get close to Liu E. The imperial power in the feudal era was the core of everything. As long as He Shao is not satisfied with the status quo, he must find a way to find a grasping point in this core.

Whether it is Wanchun Building or Fan Building, it is natural to have a strong background and background to be able to achieve such a large scale.

A person with insight and knowledge beyond this era for thousands of years is like an awl in his pocket, and he cannot hide it, or he may get out of his head or hurt his hand.

If you want to live freely, you must have a strong background. Now the things that should be done have been done, and the rest is how to deal with Yu Futong.
