Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 276 Uncle Mei

After all, Su Tong was young, and because he was not a native of the Song Dynasty, he didn't care much about etiquette. Wang Zeng came here and didn't think it was abnormal.

In fact, Wang Langjun is a senior, and he is much older than Su Wencheng, so he should have gone to pay a visit at home, so there is no reason for him to come to the door. If this is spread, people must think that Su Wencheng is arrogant.

However, things are really complicated recently, so Su Wencheng also delayed this matter.

Speaking of which, he is still inexperienced, and most of the staff he uses are young people. It is inevitable that there will be times when things are not done properly. The omissions will follow.

When Wang Zeng came to the door, Su Wencheng realized that something was wrong, so he felt ashamed and treated guests very differently.Anyway, how attentive, how attentive, how enthusiastic, how enthusiastic.

Listening to the news from the guest room, many female envoys said that the guests were kind and polite, and they didn't mean to take offense. The two chatted very happily, served tea many times, and even forgot the time.

The servants of the Su family have a very good impression of this guest.

Su Tong personally took the fruit plate and went to the living room to meet the guests.

It was already winter at this time, although it hadn't snowed, the weather was cold, and fruits were rare, but there was no shortage of them here at Su Tong, who made her have a cousin who could show off.

Chen Zijie himself pays attention to enjoyment, needs to be meticulous in basic necessities of life, and takes good care of his family members. Now he has lived in the capital for a long time and uses fast boats to deliver fruits one by one.

Grape lychee, placed in the same beautiful glass container, is really pleasing to hold.

Su Tong went to visit, and Wang Zeng gave a jade pendant as a gift, and said with a smile, "brother, your daughter was born well, and she is very clever."

Su Wencheng is very proud.

Su Tong thanked him with a smile, but said that the rumors in the court were not credible. It was said that Wang Zeng was a man of few words and seldom laughed, and he was the most serious. However, now it seems that he is also an amiable and beautiful uncle.

This man was indeed well-born. He was in his fifties and had picturesque features. He heard that he had a very strong relationship with his wife. He refused to accept his two good concubines, but his colleagues asked him if he was afraid that his wife would dislike them, so he was willing to speak for them.

Wang Zeng said: "I don't have any children, it's my poor fortune. I don't have the fate of children and grandchildren. It's not the old wife's fault. Why bother to let her be unhappy? My brother has a son, and I can take him as an heir. There is no need to worry about it."

This matter was spread as a joke, and some people ridiculed that Wang Zeng's bride was the beloved daughter of Prime Minister Li Yuan, how dare he accept maidservants and concubines to make the old man unhappy?

This is a bit exaggerated. In this season, even if a man is not serious about taking concubines, it is normal for a man to have a few beautiful maidservants. Prime Minister Li Yuan has a very good temperament, and it is absolutely impossible for a son-in-law to take a concubine.

Anyway, Su Tong heard the rumors. Although he didn't know the truth or falsehood, he couldn't help but have a good impression of this man. No matter what the reason was, he was willing to live with a wife and keep himself clean. No daughter would be unhappy, even his Mr. Zhang also said that Wang Zeng is his most proud disciple.

So, at this moment, she was very happy to ask her father to invite her to meet the guests. Looking at it again, Wang Zeng really has a very good appearance and a better temperament. A young girl, a handsome man who kills all ages.

After talking a few gossips, Wang Zeng started talking about business.

It was Su Tong who led the way. She gave Su Wencheng an idea to establish the postal system of the Great Song Dynasty, and also to establish an escort agency to rectify the extra sergeants in the army.

Su Wencheng is not the kind of conservative person, so he naturally handed over the paperwork. This is not a small matter. I heard that the ministers of the DPRK and China have discussed it more than once. In the end, the Queen Mother discussed with the officials to set up a special post office. , belonging to the Ministry of War, but handed over to Su Wencheng for overall management.

The official system of the Song Dynasty was somewhat chaotic, and it was not new for the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture to act as an agent for other departments. Many officials' official positions and actual positions were so different that it was unexpected.

As soon as the story spread, officials in other places were still watching.

After all, it is a new business, whether it can be done, whether it can achieve good results, or whether it will lose money is unknown. No one wants to be the person who eats peaches first.

The first one to stand out, of course, may get a lot of merit, or fall headlong and drown in the river. It's better to be safe, even if it won't be too brilliant, but it avoids danger.

Su Wencheng hadn't learned how to shirk errands yet. After thinking about it for a long time, he wrote to the officials, saying that Qingzhou should be used as a pilot first, and if it goes well, it will expand to other states and counties.

After all, Qingzhou has been governed by Su Wencheng for such a long time, and it already has a solid foundation, and there are also private institutions similar to escort firms, and they have delivered official silver to the government several times. Both parties are familiar with each other. The next prefect, Wang Zeng, is also a famous official , I also know the Tianxiong Army, so it must be easy to deal with.

The emperor promised.

Unexpectedly, before Su Wencheng remembered to look for Wang Zeng, he would take the initiative to come to the door the next day.

"I heard from brother Wencheng that this idea was the young lady's idea, and she really has the style of being a father, and she will not let the eyebrows pass by." Wang Zeng said with a smile.

Although he is a literati, he has always dealt with generals, and he still likes officials with a sharp temperament. He has a high opinion of Su Wen's achievements, and he has a good impression of Su Tong.

If he didn't have a son, maybe he would have wanted Su Tong to be his daughter-in-law.

Wang Zeng discussed with Su Wencheng for a day, and decided to integrate the post stations in Qingzhou first, set up a bodyguard bureau, accommodate redundant sergeants, and set up a shelf.

Because I hadn't done it before, I wanted to bring Su Tong over to discuss it.

They don't understand this matter, but Su Tong has a wealth of knowledge. To put it simply, he moved the stall of the modern postal system. It is right for the local government to provide convenience. The imperial court should specially issue documents to avoid various checkpoints. .

When it comes to the bodyguard bureau under the postal system, Su Tong said with a smile: "I want my daughter to tell me that the bodyguard bureau can be run by officials and merchants. , as long as you are willing to accept retired sergeants.”

"Sometimes, it is inconvenient for the government to handle the matter of transporting things. It is more convenient for the escort agency to do it." Su Tong smiled and said some rules about escorting and so on.

"The martial arts and weapons of escorts are second to none. They need to be well-connected. If they are robbed on the road, they should not be as jealous as the officers and soldiers. Since the bandits in the Song Dynasty will not be wiped out for a while, we might as well face their existence. Minimize losses as much as possible..."

Su Wencheng was stunned for a moment when he heard it, and Wang Zeng was even more emotional. He is actually an old Jianghu. What Su Tong said, he didn't feel it when he didn't think about it. It's the same, and the reason is also the same. Wang Zeng has long passed the age of shouting and killing when he hears dark things.
