Compete for the Song Dynasty

According to the agreement in advance, the county magistrate Chenghao brought his husband to see Wang Pang the next day. When he met Wang Pang, he couldn't help sighing that the Song Dynasty really produced a lot of talented people.The scholar in front of him was actually about the same age as him.

This man's name is Wang Yansou, his style name is Yanlin, and his real name is Qingping.He is already a genius of Jieyuan, Huiyuan and Lianzhong.This year, there is a science examination book that plans to go to Beijing to catch up for the exam, but this person is different from ordinary exams, he doesn't bother to study hard, instead he puts down his books and takes this opportunity to walk around.

When Wang Yansou came to Jincheng County, he happened to see the county government posting a notice to recruit Mr. Cheng Hao thought he was young at first, but after talking with him, he also thought he was knowledgeable.Stayed here for a month or two, and usually heard Cheng Hao talking about Wang Pang, and I felt like making friends, so I specially asked my lord to introduce him.

Wang Pang and this Wang Yansou were about the same age, so they hit it off right away, they chatted very happily, and they made an appointment to meet again in the autumn when they were rushing to take the exam.

During the dinner, Wang Pang wanted Cheng Hao to inquire about Zhou's shipyard.Cheng Hao said: "This week's shipyard is also a big family in the area. It is famous for its shipbuilding. It used to make special warships for the royal family. It is the only one on the Yellow River. It takes advantage of the right time, place and people. But his surname is no longer Zhou." [

Wang Pang asked, "Why is that?"

The three of Cheng Hao chatted while eating wine, and Cheng Hao continued: "This family has a lot of wealth, but there are heirs to inherit the fortune. There are only two daughters. The eldest daughter recruits the son-in-law Jiao Deyou. Now the old man of the Zhou family has passed away. It's all handled by Mr. Jiao."

Wang Pang listened and nodded, and said: "I originally wanted to find this shipyard to build a transport merchant ship, but I didn't expect not only to send it immediately, but also to send an extra one. I don't know why and why."

Cheng Hao said with a smile: "I heard that the second daughter is still waiting to be married, so why don't you send her a dowry first and then bring in a new wife?"

Wang Pang shook his head, this is too generous, could it be that the second young lady really can't get married?Besides, I don't know his family before, so I wouldn't act like this. "

Wang Yansou said: "If, now he is famous, I have heard of it before, not to mention such a big move here."

Cheng Hao also shook his head, "It doesn't look like it to me, this is such a heavy object, if you are a good brother, you should be more cautious."

Wang toasted and said: "Brother Bochun, my worth is not set at 4000 taels of silver."

Seeing Cheng Hao, Wang Yansou and Wang Yansou didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Jiao Deyou's gourd. They thought to themselves: This boat costs about 2000 taels to buy, let alone Jincheng. I have to give up my family property.

But having said that, I would rather be beaten to death than scared to death!Soldiers will come to stop us, and we will go to see what happened tomorrow.

He raised his glass again and said, "After I have dealt with the matter of the ship, I will set off on the ship. It is also farewell to invite the two of you here."

Cheng Hao replied: "The weather has just turned warm, if my brother transports coal back to the capital, will it be worth selling?"

Wang Pang said: "I'm afraid that the supply will exceed the demand."

Cheng Hao said with a smile: "You often do amazing things, let's see how your coal can be sold in short supply when the weather is warm." Wang Pang laughed, thinking that this is so difficult.

Wang Pang didn't know that during the time he was not in the capital, something happened in the capital, and there was a reason for it.There was once a disciple of Zhao Zongshi who reported to Zhao Zongshi that a young woman went to see Mr. Ouyang Xiu and asked Mr. Ouyang Xiu to intercede for Mr. Di Qing.

This young woman was Yuexia, and Yuexia was then put under house arrest in the Pu residence. Zhao Zongshi attended the funeral for her biological father, and Yuexia escaped from the Pu residence.It has been more than a year, and Zhao Zongshi had already forgotten about it.

Mr. Zhao did not have three wives and four concubines. The Gao family he married to the emperor was also a childhood sweetheart, and he had a deep relationship with other maids.Even after he became the emperor, he was still "the master attendant on the left and right." He caught Yuexia that day and did not want to find out the relationship between her and Di Qing.In addition, of course Yuexia is beautiful, but Zhao Zongshi is really a little entangled.So Yuexia fled, and it took him a long time to find out, but he didn't take it to heart.

In this world, you are not afraid of bad things, you are afraid of bad people, such as that doorman.Then he ran to tell the father-in-law that the little girl appeared again, living in Mayer's mansion, her name was Liang Yuexia, and she was the daughter of Di Qing.

Zhao Zongshi was annoyed, why did Wang Pang confront me everywhere.Today I want to try you. He sent someone to find out that Wang Pang had arrived in Jincheng and was going to transport coal back to the capital.It happened that I was also building a ship, so I ordered someone to bring a letter to Jiao Deyou. [

He pretended not to know Liang Yuexia's life experience, and still called her Miss Liang.I had to ask Wangpang about the need for ships for transportation. I learned that there was a girl Liang in the Mayer's mansion, and she was willing to help Wangpang's business prosper, so I gave a special boat in exchange for Miss Liang entering the mansion.

Wang Pang didn't know these things, when he and Yu Danian were on their way to Zhou's dock, he asked Yu Danian jokingly, he heard that there was a second young lady in Zhou's house who was going to be married this week, and he didn't know what she looked like.Unexpectedly, Yu Danian said sullenly: "If it is true that the Zhou family intends to recruit a son-in-law, then the second lady will suffer."

Wang Pang knew that he spoke frankly: "Young master, my family is rich and talented. What is there to suffer?"

Yu Danian said: "I heard people say that Mr. Su is talented and suave, while Mr. Wang is rich but demented."

Wang Pang was taken aback: "Where did you say that?"

Yu Danian said: "Young Master only has Miss Yuexia in his heart, and even Miss Rou'er is rarely favored by Master, let alone other girls, who are equally neglected."

Wang Pang just heard that he was avenging Rou'er's injustice, but he didn't listen carefully, Yu Danian didn't want the second lady of the Zhou family to marry him.So he asked with a smile: "Da Nian, have you seen this second young lady?"

Yu Danian said: "Naturally, I have seen it two or three times when I go to the dock every day." Wang Pang smiled without saying a word.

The two of them rode horses to the Zhou mansion, the servant informed them, and waited for a while to lead them into the mansion.Wang Pang thought to himself that Jiao Deyou's airs were not small, and even the magistrate of Chenghao County would greet him when he knew he was visiting.

Wang Pang walked to the entrance of the hall and saw a man about 30 years old waiting for him in the hallway.This man was very tall and tall, his body was like He Libo, but he had a round face, black and red like Li Jian's old man, tiger eyes and beard, and his voice was like a bell. Wang Ruo next to the king?"

Wang Pangxin said nonsense, showing off airs, but politely cupped his hands and said, "It's my servant who came to visit Duke Jiao. I came in a hurry, so I'm sorry to bother you."

Jiao Deyou invited Wang Pang into the main hall, and the two sat down. Seeing Yu Danian standing on the porch outside the house and looking around, Wang Pang understood better.

Wang Pang cupped his hands and said, "I wanted to customize a transport ship like Jiaogong Shipyard, but I didn't expect it to be delivered so soon."

The bearded and anxious friend looked Wang Pang up and down and said: "These two ships have already been ordered by someone, but the owner of one ship paid the deposit two or three months late, so I can't keep it for him. The prince uses it."

Wang Pang thanked and said: "My little brother didn't bring the full amount of silver on this trip, so give it to me now, and I have to go back to Beijing to collect the silver before I can pick up the boat."

Jiao Deyou said: "Money is not money, it doesn't get in the way, it's right to make friends."

Wang Pang shook his head and said: "Brother, the account will be settled tomorrow, Mr. Jiao still say a number, so I can go back and prepare."

Jiao Deyou said: "If I sell this boat to someone else, I can get 200 taels of gold, but the prince is famous far and wide, so I don't lose money if I count it as two thousand silver."

Wang listened to what he said, but it was not much different from the budget. He said: "The ship will be in the dock first, and I will also pay the deposit. I will pick up the ship after I return from the capital and pay the full amount."

Jiao Deyou smiled: "What's the point, I'm afraid you won't make it if you run away."

Wang Pang listened to him, feeling very uncomfortable, as if he was domineering, and said: "My Wang Pang is not rewarded for my merits, and the deposit of 200 taels of silver is not a small amount. I will bring the full amount of money within the normal building time of the ship. I will definitely not miss you a point."

Jiao Deyou looked at him, but felt that Wang Pang was a bit different, and he seemed a little arrogant, so he said, "Even if you don't give me a cent, it's worth it for me to give you this boat. Why should I be so proud. I'll count it as such." There are many ways to meet noble people." [

Wang Pang smiled: "It's just that Mr. Jiao's way of being a nobleman is too generous, and my younger brother can't be restrained." After saying a few words, he stood up and wanted to leave.

Wang Pang really wanted the boat in his heart, but he would rather take the bullock cart a few times than let it be overwhelmed.

Seeing that the king was about to leave, Jiao Deyou said, "Wait a minute, there is another boat. Do you want it? Someone else will send it to you."

Wang Pang wondered, Jiao Deyou handed Zhao Zongshi's letter to Wang Pang, and Wang Pang found out that Zhou's shipyard was originally a connection with the imperial court, so it went smoothly, whether it was warships or cargo ships, most of them were built for the royal family.That's why we have such a family background.

After reading the letter, the king laughed, Jiao Deyou asked, did the prince accept the ship?

Wang Pang said noncommittally, whether or not brother Jiao would like to drink with the boat tonight, the right to do it for the younger brother.There was a sneer in Jiao Deyou's heart, you put on a noble face, it's not because you are afraid that the boat will be expensive and you can't afford it, so you will agree to everything when someone sends the boat.

But after thinking about it, if Wang Pang took the boat, he would be like a fish in water in the future, and he would not be offended, so he said: "At sunset, I will meet the prince at the wharf of Jinxiang Mansion."

Wang Pang stood up and said goodbye, and went back to Jinxiang Mansion to prepare.At sunset, Wang Pang held a banquet at the bow of the ship behind, and the two sat opposite each other on the bow of the boat and drank.

Seeing the moon rising into the sky, a round of bright moon shines on both sides of the river. A dozen people came from Jinxiang Mansion Xiang pier, each holding a torch.Walking into the pier, the pier is brightly illuminated.

Wang Pang stood up and looked at Jiao Deyou, and Jiao Deyou naturally looked at him, Wang Pang sneered and said: "Jiao Gong said today, and now I will give you an answer. You can tell me which ship belongs to Zhao Gong. "

Seeing Wang Pang's serious expression, Jiao Deyou thought to himself what tricks you, a child in his twenties, can do, so he pointed to the boat ahead and said, "That's the boat."

Wang Pang nodded, looked at the boat solemnly, but Jiao Deyou said: "Do you know Zhao Zongshi, who is Miss Liang?"

Jiao Deyou showed an expression: "It's probably just the prince's sweetheart. The prince took this boat, which is considered to be a sense of current affairs."

Wang Pang smiled: "I took the boat, because I was afraid that Mr. Jiao would be embarrassed, but Zhao Zongshi said that I absolutely can't agree, I can only answer him with practical actions." A young man, facing an angry lion, no matter how high the sky is, Wang Pang waved his hand and roared, "Set fire, burn this boat in front of me!!!."

Following Wang Pang's order, more than a dozen villagers jumped onto the bow and threw the torches in their hands towards the mast. Throw them at the same time, and after a while the wind will help the fire, the gas fire on the boat, the wood of the boat crackling and the flames soaring into the sky.

Wang Pang would never press down on this tone. The ship worth 2000 taels of silver was burned by Wang Pang. He was so angry that he was crowned as a beauty. Huo Shao saw that Tai was the crown prince, and the ship of the future Emperor Yingzong, regardless of the Jiao Deyou beside him. Frightened.

The flames shone on Wang Pang's rebellious and handsome face, and the corner of his mouth raised a smile, a kind of contempt and arrogance, I don't care who you are.My people, what I have to do, never compromise!
