Compete for the Song Dynasty

After this moderate turmoil, the relationship between Wang Pang and Zhao Xu seems to be one step closer than before.Zhao Xu found out more and more that Wang Pang did his best to think about the Song Dynasty from the aspect of governing the country. Whether it was controlling corruption or finding a way for the people to live, Wang Pang looked further.In other words, the mood is different when you open up, and Zhao Xu's mood also swept away the haze after Dali, enjoying the scenery along the way and walking back to the capital.

Passing Kipzhou, enjoying the awning boats moored on the Three Gorges River, fishermen leisurely cast their nets, the peaks cut jade and rocks piercing the sky, looking up at the shadows of the peaks and the fragrance of flowers in the stream, it made the group refreshed.Walking to Sanyou Cave, Wang Pang pointed to the inscriptions on the stone wall for Zhao Xu to see, among them was Su Xun's: The cave gate rolls stones and flows into milk, and the cold stream below the mountain is as cold as ice.The two sons of Tianhan begged to go, but I couldn't live there; and Su Shi's: freezing rain and half frost, tourists' shoes are cold and slippery with moss.Don't hesitate to carry the quilt to sleep at the bottom of the rock, the mouth of the cave is full of clouds and moon in the middle of the night.

Zhao Xu praised Wang Pang while admiring Wang Pang. In Zhao Xu's eyes, Wang Pang was almost unknown.When we went to Tanziling and listened to the waterfall, Wang Pang thought of the Three Gorges Project that would shock the world thousands of years later. He couldn't help but quote the chairman's poem and exclaimed: "The wind and mast move, the tortoise and snake are quiet, and a grand plan is built. A bridge flies from north to south, and the natural moat becomes a thoroughfare." .Establish the stone wall of the Xijiang River, cut off the cloud and rain in Wushan, and let the high gorge out of Pinghu.

Zhao Xu almost jumped up from the side, clapped his hands and praised: "Okay! Brother Wang's ambition is really high. But I don't know how Gaoxia can get out of Pinghu Lake? Just thinking about it is spectacular!"

Wang Pang was amused in his heart, but his expression was very indifferent and he said: "That will be a thousand years later. By then, this place will not be Xiazhou, but the Three Gorges. This Xiaxia is not the other Xiaxia. At that time, it will be in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Construction of large-scale water conservancy projects.”[

Zhao Xu was puzzled and asked, "Here, is there any difference in the word "Kip?"

"Of course it's different," Wang Pang said, breaking off a branch along the way, and writing the characters Xia and Xia on the ground.

Zhao Xu tilted his head to look at the two characters, thought for a while and said, "No, I can't wait for 1000 years. If one day I will change the name of Xiazhou to the word Xia, Brother Wang will give me a new name." When Gao Xia comes out of Pinghu, I want to surprise the world."

Wang Pang smiled: "If you can't wait, you have to wait, even if you kill me, you can't do this now."

"Why? You can build a temple on the Shuangta Mountain in the Liao Kingdom, why can't you build a lake in our Great Song Dynasty?" Zhao Xu was serious about this.

Wang Pang knew that if he explained to this boy about the water conservancy project and the current level of technology, it would be meaningless.Crying inwardly, I just remembered something.He smiled and said, "I can't build the lake. Besides, it will cost a lot of money and waste money. Do you want to learn from Qin Shihuang just to create a miracle that will amaze the world?"

Zhao Xu still listened to Wang Pang's words very much. Seeing that Wang Pang wanted to compare him to Qin Shihuang, he quickly waved his hands and said, "Forget it. When we assimilate those foreign countries and the treasury has silver taels, it won't be too late to build it!"

Just talking and laughing, Yang Shihan came to them and said, "Report to the lord, and you will arrive at the Jiangling Mansion after walking forward. The magistrate is already ready to welcome the lord."

"Okay! Continue on your way and try to reach Jiangling Mansion today!" Wang Pang issued an order.

Zhao Xu was a little bit reluctant, the great rivers and mountains in front of him, and Wang Pang's explanation, he was so fond of the mountains and rivers that he lingered, so he couldn't help but said, "I'm on my way again so soon!"

Jiangling is the first county of Jinghu North Road. The Jiedu envoys, appeasement envoys, and governors from all over the country stationed on this road are here. The crown prince and Zhennan king passed by here, so naturally the scale of reception is larger.Yingchang from Northwest Jingbei Road received the same scale. When they continued north to early winter, the crown prince and Wang Pang finally returned to Kaifeng mansion.

Wang Pang escorted the prince back to the capital, and went to the palace to meet Song Yingzong Zhao Shu.At this time, the weather had turned cooler, and the wind from the north was blowing, which made Wang Pang really miss the warmth of the south.At noon, when Wang Pang returned from the palace to the palace, he plunged into the study.

There were many people sitting in the room, Mr. Hou Shuxian, Yu Danian and Yin Shijie from Jinxiang Mansion; Qian Yixia, Sun Mo and others who were ordered to come back from Western Xia, and Lu Shenyan and Jiao Deyou. What's the matter with calling.

Everyone sat down one after another, Yu Danian, Yin Shijie opened a box that had just been brought over by someone, and put the top few accounts on the desk next to the king: "My lord, this is the account of Jinxiang Mansion you want." After speaking, they looked at each other.Wang Pang casually flipped through a few pages and looked at it. "Time flies so fast!" Wang Pang couldn't help saying with emotion after closing the accounts in his hand.Seeing the two people still standing in front of the desk, Wang Pang said, "What are you doing standing there? You two sit down, I have something to tell you!"

"Thank you, my lord, for sitting down!" The two of them spoke with a bit of anxiety in their hearts.Seeing the slightly uneasy expressions of the two, Wang Pang smiled slightly: "Da Nian, Shijie, you have been working in Jinxiang Mansion for a long time. I called you here today because I have something to discuss with you."

Yu Danian hurriedly said: "My lord, don't say that, we will try our best to do what you have ordered."

Wang Pang looked at Yu Danian's cautious way of speaking, and understood that it was different now, and he also knew that it was for this reason that he had to make this decision.He patted a stack of account books on the desk: "These are all the painstaking efforts of everyone. Now that Jinxiang Mansion is fully operational, it's time for me to retire."

Yu Danian and Yin Shijie couldn't believe their ears: "My lord, what did you say?"

Knowing that he hadn't made it clear, Wang Pang said word by word, "From now on, Jinxiang Mansion will be handed over to you, and the Wang Mansion will no longer participate in the management of Jinxiang Mansion. Not only Jinxiang Mansion will not participate, but tea farms everywhere , as well as the medicine field and salt field in Xixia are also handed over to individuals.”[

"Well, why is that?" Yu Danian stood up slowly: "My lord, these are all your painstaking efforts, you can't just let them go! Besides, without your command, how would we do it?"

Wang Pang waved his hand to signal him to sit down: "Calm down, haven't you been doing well without me for the past two years? I believe in your ability, and my investment has almost been recovered in the past few years. In the future, you will be promoted The operator of the Xiangfu. As for me, I only take some shares. You can do the specific operation, and you don’t have to hand over all the profits to the Wangfu, and don’t say that this is the business of the Wangfu.”

Yin Shijie didn't speak for a long time, and now he looked up at the king: "My lord, didn't you reject us by doing this? We have been doing things with the lord, and everyone has been living well these years. Thank you before it's too late, how come? It can be said that it is not counted as the palace?" He said, trying to suppress his emotions.

Knowing that they had misunderstood something, Wang Pang said slowly: "The people in Jinxiang Mansion live well, but it doesn't mean that the people of Song Dynasty have a good life; I will have a lot of things to do in the future, but I don't want to refuse you. Outside the door. Letting you do it yourself is asking you to compete fairly with other places. Besides, what I tell the prince every day is competition and openness. I even suggested that the prince should invite bids for royal procurement in the future. If I continue to operate Jin Xiangfu, don’t I just take advantage of my power? Don’t worry, I believe that with Jinxiangfu’s current strength, no one can compete with it. That’s why I trust it to you, and you just let it go. .”

"That's good! Let's listen to the prince, but the profits from Jinxiang Mansion still have to be handed over to the prince's mansion!" Yu Danian had already understood the prince's intention, but he still couldn't accept what Wang Pang said about handing over the Jinxiang Mansion to the prince. Run it yourself.

"Haha, I appreciate your kindness, but you are from the palace, you must obey me in whatever I want to do."

Hearing Wang Pang say that he is still a member of the palace, Yu Danian and Yin Shijie were both moved and pleased, and hurriedly said in unison: "As long as we can still do things with the prince, we will do whatever you ask us to do."

"Okay! While I'm in the capital these few days, you and I have worked out a plan to transform Jinxiang Mansion into a joint-stock system. I only hold [-]% of the shares here, and the two of you each have [-]% and the remaining [-]%. Let everyone in Jinxiang Mansion own shares, and the future profits will be distributed in the same way."

Yin Shijie frowned and said, "This, doesn't this mean that you, my lord, gave out [-]% of the profits to everyone?"

"This is what everyone deserves! Hurry up and formulate specific plans and share certificates. The Chinese New Year will soon be here, and these shares will be distributed to everyone as dividends. After that, the profit and loss accounting of all operations in the future will be completely linked to shares. I think at that time, everyone will take the affairs of Jinxiang Mansion as their own business." Both Yu Danian and Yin Shijie knew that what Wang Pang said was an order, and they were grateful and excited, but also somewhat excited. As Wang Pang said, if this goes on, everyone in Jinxiang Mansion will be more motivated.

"My lord, then we'd better obey orders than be respectful! But, we still feel a little bit sorry!"

"Haha, what's the matter? When have you ever seen me, Wang, doing business at a loss? Don't worry: this is just the first step. In the future, everyone's shares will increase in value, and I will tell you how to do it when the time comes."

If it is said that Wang Pang back then was a way of life for the people of Jinxiang Mansion, then the current Wang Pang is a golden road for the people of Jinxiang Mansion.After hearing this, the two happily took the order to do it, and discussed how to make it according to Wang Pang's idea.Wang Pang looked at several of He Xingyuan's apprentices: Qian Yixia, Sun Mo and others who were in charge of Wang Pang's pharmaceutical factory in Xixia and the salt field. "You all heard about the Jinxiang mansion just now. I made the same decision about the salt farm and the medicine farm. I don't need to repeat it again, do I?"

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, knowing that Wang Pang was painstaking, so they didn't say much, and they also left the study under orders.

Then Wang Pang took out the proof of his investment in Jinxiu Building and asked Lu Shenyan to pass it to Cui Fu: "Treasurer Cui, you have worked hard for so many years. When I, Wang Pang, resigned from office and Jinxiang Mansion was sealed, the old shopkeeper was struggling. Support. The situation is different now, and this is my repayment to the old shopkeeper."

Cui Fu took over the voucher and burst into tears: "My lord, you repay Cui Fu's great kindness!"

Wang Pang persuaded the old shopkeeper, after all, it is different now, and he can no longer be a small shareholder of the restaurant like before, and after meeting Yingzong, he knows that it will be a new beginning soon.

Cui Fu left, and only Hou Shuxian and Lu Shenyan were left in the room who had been watching.Wang Pang watched Lu Shenyan lower his head and didn't look at himself, thinking that this guy was probably the same as them, he said with a smile: "Xiao Lu, let me repeat what happened in your tea shop?" Unexpectedly, Lu Shenyan froze Three words came out of my head: "I won't do it!"
