A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

In the political hall, Bao Zheng and Zeng Gong were sitting opposite each other.

There was a bump on Zeng Gongliang's forehead, and Bao Zheng had a wry smile on his face.

"Bao Xiren, what do you think about this matter?"

Zeng Gongliang gritted his teeth and said, "I was just arguing with you about what rewards should be given to Bi Sheng's children and grandchildren, and you actually committed such a vicious attack!"

Bao Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "I took the ink stone and was about to hit the mouse, but you... you suddenly ran in, I..."

"Where is the mouse?"

Zeng Gongliang and Bao Zheng were arguing this morning about what rewards should be given to Bi Sheng's children and grandchildren. Later, they went out to do errands, but when they came back, they were hit by an ink stone from Bao Zheng, and he immediately shouted that Bao Zheng had taken action.

Bao Zheng shook his head, pointed to Han Qi and said, "After you shouted, the mouse jumped up in fright. It must have run away."

After hearing Zeng Gongliang's scream earlier, Han Qi also jumped up. Now he stood up and said with a smile: "I felt quite soft when I sat down just now..."

He then stared blankly at his chair, then reached out and touched his butt.

On the seat, a mouse-shaped blood mark was very clear.

As soon as he turned around, everyone saw the miserable rat on his butt.

The mouse sat on its butt and was reduced to a thin slice. Only its head looked okay, and a pair of tiny eyes looked at the ministers and ministers with vigour.

"Shen An is here!"

Someone yelled outside, and Fu Bi got up and went out, "Someone must have gone to tell the news. Shen An is going to stand up for Xiren. I'm going to hold him back."

Zeng Gongliang cursed: "I was almost killed by Bao Zheng with an inkstone. How dare he, Shen An, do it?"

Fu Bi grabbed the aggressive Shen An outside and told him what had happened. Shen An said innocently: "I heard that Bi Sheng's descendants are here, so I wanted to ask you gentlemen..."

The ministers and ministers were all sneering.

This Shen An must have had spies in the political hall, and he was keeping an eye on Bao Zheng. As soon as he heard that Bao Zheng and Zeng Gongliang were taking action, Shen An came in an aggressive manner. If Bao Zheng had his way, today's political hall would probably become a place for fights in the market.

Thinking of Shen An and Bao Zheng playing two against Zeng Gongliang, even Han Qi sighed and couldn't bear it.

Shen An handed it over as soon as he came in, "I've met all of you, Mr. Zeng, this is...hey! This bag looks shiny, and it looks auspicious at first sight."

Zeng Gongliang laughed angrily, "You have no shame."

After the misunderstanding was resolved, Shen An asked about Bi Sheng.

"Bi Sheng can be considered to have lived a long life. All four sons have arrived in the capital, and three grandchildren are waiting for him. Just yesterday, he cried for a while outside the imperial city. It was very sad."

After this kind of mourning after death, the descendants will be proud, but recalling the ancestors makes people sigh.

"What do the officials say?"

"The officials didn't say anything."

Han Qi said angrily: "I said it was a false title, but someone said that movable type printing is just a boost, there is no need to make a big show of it."

"Who said that?"

Shen An was angry.

Han Qi looked at him, then at Bao Zheng, motioning for him to take care of it.

Bao Zheng said angrily: "The scholar-bureaucrats are unwilling to use movable type. They say the fonts are dull and have no spirituality, so they don't want to read it."

“If you don’t want to see it, don’t watch it!”

Shen An's calm look made Bao Zheng a little suspicious, "Don't do anything. We will naturally speak for him in front of the officials."

Shen An responded with a smile and then went out.

"Why do I think Shen An is so honest today?"

Han Qi was changing his clothes and took off only his underwear, but the rat's blood still seeped in.

His plump figure made everyone feel toothache when they looked at it, thinking that human beings are really weird.

"Yes! That kid has always been honest."

Bao Zheng still spoke for Shen An without any principles.

But Shen An had already begun to gnash his teeth.

Standing outside the imperial city, he ordered: "Go find Wang Tiande and ask him to send a message. The Shen family wants to buy a printing shop. The price will be 50% more than the market price, but there is one item that the craftsmen will keep."

Later, when the news spread, Wang Tiande was immediately blocked by more than a dozen businessmen. After an inspection, Wang Tiande settled on a house, paid for it directly, and then invited Shen An to inspect it.

The richest man in the Song Dynasty actually became our shopkeeper?

The craftsmen in the bookstore were so excited that they lined up to welcome him.

"I've seen Shen Longtu."

Shen An nodded slightly, feeling that he was inspecting work.

It feels really good!

But he immediately alerted himself and told himself to hold on.

Don't waste time!

"You and others are all old craftsmen who are engaged in engraving. I would like to say something here. Those who have real skills will not worry about being out of food."

The craftsmen looked excited, and they didn't feel like they were being beaten to death.

"If you don't do it well, Bianliang is not bad at craftsmen!"

This printing bookstore was of great use to Shen An's layout, so he did not hesitate to threaten it.

The craftsmen were still excited.

"Anbei, they are all happy to do things for you!"

Wang Tiande followed behind, introducing the situation and talking about people's thoughts.

"When I came to check it out earlier, these people heard that it was you who wanted to buy it, tsk tsk! The look in their eyes made them wish they could change the family immediately. I wonder why there is no loyalty at all?"

This is the allure of the richest man in the Song Dynasty.

With Shen An having meat to eat, this has been proven many times over the years, so these people can't help but be tempted.

Shen An inspected it once, turned around and saw the craftsmen following behind him, and said, "This bookstore will be of great use in the future, just work with peace of mind."

The craftsmen were overjoyed, and one of them asked: "May I ask Shen Long Tu... No, dare I ask Mr. Lang, we have several books on hand for printing, do we still want to print them?"

"Whose book?"

Shen An strolled in the store and flipped through the sample books. He saw that they were mainly classics, plus some anthologies, and found them very boring.

What is Da Song’s entertainment career?

Restaurants and brothels!

"Lang Jun, it's a collection of essays."

Why!

Shen An Yang raised the collection of essays on hand, "Are these inexplicable things?"

The craftsman laughed dryly and said: "Mr. Lang, I am willing to give you money!"

Shen An looked at him without saying anything, and one of the craftsmen said, "Can he still have a husband and money?"

yes!

The man in front of me was the richest man in the Song Dynasty.

"Push it away!"

Shen An's tone was relaxed.

The craftsman asked: "What about the money that should be compensated according to the contract..."

"give him!"

Shen An's attitude made the craftsmen happy.

Look, this gentleman has indeed activated his money ability.

Invincible!

"yes!"

The craftsmen obeyed, and Shen An asked, "Do you know all the movable type?"

"This... all the little people know."

Movable type is the enemy of craftsmen. For them, it is like a person who plays with CNC machine tools. Suddenly one day he is asked to play with mechanical machine tools, which are still the most primitive kind.

"Get it done!"

Shen An turned around and said: "I know that you are unwilling to give in and feel that movable type is embarrassing. But do you know how many poor people there are in the Song Dynasty?"

Everyone lowered their heads, and Wang Tiande said: "Some of them are from poor backgrounds, how could they not know it?"

"There were countless poor people in the Song Dynasty!" Shen Anyang read the collection of essays in his hand. "The only way for those poor people to change their destiny is to study. Studying is not only for imperial examinations, but it can also change one's vision and help people escape from ignorance. walk out.

The engraving is good. "

Shen An opened the anthology and said, "Look at these words. They are well written, but can poor people afford them?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Some people are so poor that they can't even afford pants, but they still buy books. Where do they get the money?

"What is the goal of our bookstore?" Shen An said calmly: "Let the poor in the world afford books!"

This goal is very ambitious, but there’s just one problem, “Mr. Lang, I’m afraid I’ll pay for it.”

"Are we... short of money?" Shen An looked at the craftsman, "Just do it."

"yes."

It feels so good to not be short of money!

After leaving the bookstore, Wang Tiande said: "Someone who knows you must be up to something evil and will print some books that will cause headaches for the scholar-bureaucrats."

"You are wrong." Shen An said sternly: "Old Wang, what's fun in Bianliang? It's for men."

Wang Tiande had long been corrupted, and said proudly: "That is, restaurants and brothels."

"Old Wang." Shen An looked at Wang Tiande and said sadly: "Don't you feel that you have fallen? Look at you and think about you back then. You were high-spirited and upright back then, but you are now But he's more vulgar, and he looks like some kind of... greasy man."

"Don't you?" Wang Tiande said innocently: "Men can only play with these things, but what? Do you want so-and-so to do nothing at home?"

"Why do nothing?"

"What else can you do if you only play with women at home?"

Shen An recalled the glorious days when Wang Tiande boasted about his three daughters at night, and couldn't help but smile, "Old Wang, how many women do you have at night now?"

"Um..." Wang Tiande looked a little confused, "Two or three."

This is bullshit.

Seeing that his belly was very big, Shen An was wondering what posture this man could use.

"Go back with peace of mind, I will have my own solution."

Shen An was full of confidence, Wang Tiande smiled and said: "I don't care about this, you can afford to lose anyway!"

Being at a loss is probably the most frivolous saying. After the news spread that Shen An purchased a bookstore, most people thought of the descendants of Bi Sheng who had just arrived in Bianliang.

Bi Sheng's descendants were arranged to live in an inn, and the family sat together to discuss matters.

Bi Rong glanced at his three brothers and said, "Today, I went to see my husband-in-law. They were very polite and said that there would be a reward from the court soon, but eldest brother, I felt a little bored."

Biga hummed, "Let's see. If it's delayed, let's not stay in Bianliang. Just say that the crops in the fields wait for no one, and then go home."

Everyone agreed.

At this time, the three juniors came back, their faces turning red.

"What's going on?" Bi Jia frowned and said, "Bianliang is so big. I want you to stop running around and be careful not to get caught."

Bi Wenxian said: "Things in Bianliang are so expensive. We just asked below that it costs a lot to live here for one day, and our family can't afford it!"

Bi Rong sighed: "Here... the clerk who led the way that day didn't say who gave the money!"

Of course the little official who led the way wouldn't say anything, because it was natural for the government to pay money for such things.

But Bijia and others are from the countryside, so how do they know this? Thinking about the expensive accommodation money, I panicked.

Biga stood up and said: "This is not appropriate. Go and ask. That... our family actually got five rooms. It's not appropriate. At least four of them should be turned down."

Bi Rong smiled bitterly and said: "There are seven of us, brother, we can't live in one room."

"A certain person took them out to live, and the third child also followed. You and the second child stay here, and we go out to find a cheap place. No... That day, a certain person saw someone sleeping outside the store and no one else cared about it. Let's go there too. You can save money by sleeping on the side. If you have any news, just tell me."

Bi Rong said: "It's time to go somewhere. Brother, you are here."

"Bullshit!" Bi Jia scolded: "X is the eldest brother, you should listen to X when you go out. Hurry."

So the family went downstairs, and the shopkeeper was a little confused when he heard it.

"Your family was brought here by the officials. The officials said they would let you live here. The money...is supposed to be paid by the officials."

"I don't dare!" Bi Jia said in a panic: "Please ask the shopkeeper to do it, lest a certain family cannot return home."

"You'll see if you're honest." The shopkeeper didn't know what this big family, who looked like they were from the countryside, came to Bianliang for, but since they were so knowledgeable, it was obvious that they were honest people, so he pointed out: "Someone We will lay the floor here for you, so that even if something goes wrong with the officials, you can give them less money."

"I don't have any money!" Biga said with a bitter smile: "I even sold some things at home when I went out this time, but I didn't spend any money on the way."

The shopkeeper sighed, "You are such an honest man. In this way, someone will take you to a cheaper place, but you have to keep someone here."

"Keep it, stay it."

So the shopkeeper called the waiter and took Bi Jia and others to find a cheap place to stay.

The second eldest brother, Bicheng and Birong, sent Bijia and others to their place, and when they came back, they sat in the room and worried.

In the lobby downstairs, the shopkeeper was still talking about the sincerity of the Bijia family, when a man came in carrying two large food boxes, "May I ask the guest, this is..."

The shopkeeper had a sharp eye and could tell at a glance that this was not someone staying in the hotel.

The man said: "Is there any Bi family living here?"

The shopkeeper was about to talk about the Bi family. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Yes! The officials brought them here to live."

The man nodded, "Please lead the way."

The shopkeeper was eager for a result for the Bi family, so he asked a waiter to take the man up.

The boy looked at the man curiously, "Why does it seem like I've seen you before?"

The man remained silent and waited outside the room. The waiter called to open the door. Bi Cheng and Bi Rong looked confused, "May I ask you..."

The man was carrying two big food boxes as if they were nothing, "Master Shen An, this is a little thought from the master. Originally, the master said he wanted to come here, but he just thought that you were waiting in the countryside and would not be able to take care of you in the future. He was worried that you would If you cause trouble, let someone come here..."

Shen An has too many enemies, and Bi Sheng's descendants have no strength. If they are targeted, Shen An will be beyond reach in Bianliang.

He opened the food box, and a burst of fragrance hit him, "This is a meal cooked by the master of the house, as well as wine from the Shen family. Please... Hey! Where are the others?"

Bi Cheng was confused, "Shen An...".

"Second brother, it's Duke Shen!"

Bi Rong said happily: "They are from Duke Shen! Didn't they say that Duke Shen discovered the movable type made by his father?"

Bicheng was also happy, but a little suspicious.

The guy suddenly said: "Are you the Chen Luo next to Shen Longtu?"

The man nodded, and the clerk said happily: "Why do you look so familiar to me? Outside of the two officers, this is Shen Longtu... Lord Shen has been promoted now, and it's Shen Longtu."

"Ah!" Bi Cheng said in panic: "I don't know if he is a noble or a villain..."

Chen Luo said with a smile: "My husband said that Bi Gong's invention will shine through the ages. UU Reading www.uukaｎｈｈnetｔ My husband has never cooked so many meals in many years, let alone given it away like this. It’s a tribute, please enjoy it.”

The waiter said with envy: "Shen Longtu's cooking skills are the best in the Song Dynasty. I haven't heard of him cooking for anyone in these years. You are lucky."

Chen Luo asked: "Isn't there seven people?"

The waiter smiled bitterly and said: "I was afraid that I would have no money to pay the bill, and I didn't know what the official meant, so I went out to find a cheap place to live, and the villain took me there..."

Chen Luo sighed: "The person that my husband values ​​​​so much is actually like this..."

He ordered: "Bring them all back, and I will go back and ask Mr. Lang for instructions."

Later the news came.

"My husband said that officials are not reliable in their work, so he vacated a building in Fanlou. The Bi family only needs to live there. They will have food, drink and accommodation there, and don't worry about the money!"

The richest man in Bianliang took action, and Zhengshitang received a slap in the face.

"Didn't you explain clearly?" Han Qi was furious!

Then someone was unlucky.

The Bi family's affairs were therefore put on the agenda.
