I was the richest man in Da Song

Chapter 71
After He Shao left, Zhao Heng came out from behind the screen, and the conversation between the two was under the monitoring of the emperor.

"30 guan, it seems that He Shao not only has Tao Zhugong's ability, but this way of making money can be my God of Wealth in Song Dynasty," Zhao Heng said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me about this matter. Although the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom banned mutual trading in the court, they actually acquiesced to small-scale border trade at the border.

It's just that driven by interests, it has been banned repeatedly for so many years, and this ban has been continuously loosened, so we can only adopt an attitude of acquiescence, and at the same time impose many restrictions on commodities.

The pen, ink, paper, inkstone and ironware of our dynasty are not allowed to be transported to Liao, and the court of Liao also acquiesced in allowing the Liao people to sell sheep to the Song Dynasty, but as long as they touch the horses and furs, there will be a lot of heads, let He Shao know Where is the red line. "

"Don't worry, He Shao is a smart person. He can do what he can do by himself, and he will pull you to do what he can't do." Liu E chuckled lightly.

Although He Shao didn't see Zhao Heng, he was very sure that the emperor was secretly eavesdropping on their conversation in a certain place. The emperor could hide it, but the guards of honor outside and the internal officials couldn't hide it, and Liu E had no right to do so at all. decision.

The 30 crowns given to Princess Shouchang will definitely fall into the inner treasury in the end. The person who made him fall in love with it is the emperor's own sister.

Since I came to the palace, of course I had to take time to see Shouchang Princess Zhao Yuanrui, so I kept looking around.

Dou En led the way, of course he knew what He Shao was thinking, and led He Shao around the imperial garden near the dormitory.

"Don't wander around in His Majesty's bedroom. If you go the wrong way and see something you shouldn't see or hear something you shouldn't hear, it will be a serious crime to be beheaded.

For example, in front is the Yingchun Palace where Princess Shouchang lives, and we are in a hurry to wait here, so please don’t offend the princess.”

"Everyone knows and rest assured"

In the end, it was he who piled up the money himself, and Dou En very cooperatively chose to leave.

Dou En wasn't reckless either, he had been serving Liu E and had also overheard about the affair between Princess Shouchang and He Shao.

It is almost unprecedented for a princess to marry a merchant, but His Majesty is even considering bestowing a noble in order to match He Shao with this marriage. This is something worth pondering.

After watching Dou En leave, He Shao sneaked into the palace ahead, but even if Dou En let go, the servant at the gate of Yingchun Palace still blocked him from the palace. Fortunately, Zhao Yuanrui's maid recognized He Shao.

"Why are you here?" The little maid was also very surprised to see He Shao.

"I'm here to pay my respects to Your Majesty and Your Majesty. I passed by Yingchun Palace, so I came to have a look."

"The princess is reading a book"

Zhao Heng had already obtained approval, so the court lady did not stop He Shao from being accepted into the palace. As for He Shao secretly slipping her a silver ingot, no one saw it anyway.

Zhao Yuanrui didn't know what book he was reading, sometimes he frowned slightly, sometimes he ticked the paper, because he read it seriously and didn't know when He Shao had already stood opposite him.

It wasn't until He Shao coughed that Zhao Yuanrui woke up. When he looked up and saw He Shao, he hurriedly hid the book in his hand behind his back.

"He Fenglang, why are you here?"

"When the people are surplus, despise it, so the king should take it lightly. If the people are not enough, pay attention to it, so the king should disperse it. The accumulation should be light, and the dispersal should be the most important. Therefore, the king must have ten times the profit, and the wealth is the same. It can be obtained and flat.”

He Shao looked at what was written on the paper. Originally, He Shao didn't know these things, but he had a good gentleman. Because he was a merchant, Li Hang would often take out ancient books on business for He Shao to read and return. Explain to him from time to time.

"This is the light and heavy chapter of Guanzi"

The ancients called economics the art of light and heavy, and this light and heavy article is completely about agriculture and individual economy, which can be said to be a classic book of merchants.

"you caught me"

Zhao Yuanrui stuck out her tongue, her cute appearance made He Shao want to hold her in his arms.

"What are you reading this book for?"

"Aren't you going to marry me? You are a businessman, so I must learn how to make money." Zhao Yuanrui was very generous in this aspect and did not hold back.

"The art of weight and severity proposed by the old man Guan Zi is regarded as the end by those sour Confucian scholars. This "Guan Zi Light and Heavy" is actually the fundamental method of governing the country."

He Shao has also studied this book. The explanation of monetary policy and commodity policy is a bit too simple for He Shao, but it is definitely worthy of the age-old wonders in this era. What's more, it is the earliest book in human history. Economics books.

"If the people have a surplus, the price will be light; if the people are not enough, the price will be heavy. When it is light, accumulation is heavy, and sometimes it is scattered. There is ten times the profit in the middle. In fact, it is a bit one-sided.

For example, the wine market in Kaifeng City is currently in a downturn, and the highest drunk fairy wine is only [-] yuan, but there is no such strong liquor in Liao Kingdom. If I faint from Kaifeng and faint in Liao Kingdom Zhongjing, it will also be ten times as profitable. "He Shao said.

"Didn't the imperial court prohibit the trade between Song and Liao?" Zhao Yuanrui asked.

"That depends on how the business is done. I told the empress to give you 30% of the annual income of nearly [-] yuan. The empress is very happy and saved it for you in the inner storage."

"Ah, that's too much, since you gave it to me, why did you end up in the inner storage, are we at a big loss?"

Zhao Yuanrui pursed her lips and was obviously a little unhappy. Although it was her own brother, the brothers had to settle accounts clearly, let alone brothers and sisters, money is very important!

"Your brother hates the poor and loves the rich. Do you think I can't see that I have high eyebrows and low eyes? This money will be used as a dowry gift. If you marry me a year earlier, you will be able to pay less money for one year."

"You are beautiful"

Zhao Yuanrui originally wanted to hit He Shao's head with the book in his hand, but He Shao held his hand, and let him go without breaking free a few times, his face was blushing.

Holding the fragrant skin and soft luster in his hands made He Shao make up his mind, and it was worth the big price.

"Your brother still doesn't believe me. If he gives me a chance to let me play freely, I can even empty Khitan's wealth."

"kindness"

Zhao Yuanrui was too shy to speak, and listened to whatever He Shao said.

"Have you read The Story of the Stone?" He Shao asked suddenly.

"Look, there are tabloids circulating in the palace every day, but it's a pity that only a few can be published each time. I really want to meet this talented person who wrote the story of the stone."

"You saw it today"

It took Zhao Yuanrui a long time to understand what He Shao meant.

"You wrote The Story of the Stone?"

"That's right, I dictated the contents of the Story of the Stone to Yun Niang, and then Yun Niang was in charge of typesetting and then published it in the newspaper room"

"Then what happened after Qin Keqing's death as the Forbidden Captain of the Dragon?"

Every time He Shao dictated according to his own impression, and then Yunniang polished it according to her own understanding.

He Shao's mouth was full of spit, and there was a lot of vernacular in it, but Zhao Yuanrui listened with his chin clapper in his hand and looked at it very seriously.
