A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 520: A pack of wolves

Human beings have been divided into noble and inferior people since the beginning of recorded history.

What is expensive?

Noble, powerful, superior...

Anyway, it’s high-end.

And being cheap means being short and poor.

Generally speaking, it is the tall and the powerful who command the short and poor, and the other way around is the news.

Shen An said honestly: "Officials are all doing things for you, so what's the difference between high and low? Isn't it the most reasonable thing?"

It's the most reasonable thing to say. No one will take it seriously.

But it was different for the emperor.

This is something that is good for you and the Song Dynasty. The truth is on your side!

You are an emperor with reason, but you can't solve such a trivial matter?

Shen An raised his head and glanced at Zhao Zhen. His eyes clearly showed that he felt aggrieved for Zhao Zhen.

Official, you have been wronged.

Zhao Zhen felt aggrieved and said, "I will handle this matter. You first think about how to proceed."

He regretted it as soon as he said it.

What's wrong with me?

He actually agreed to suppress the matter.

Shen An said happily: "The officials are wise. But I don't want to go too far, so I recommend someone to go."

He was a Hanlin scholar who was ordered to command three shipping companies. His qualifications and position were insufficient, so Zhao Zhenhui had a headache as to how to arrange it.

This young man is indeed...honest!

Zhao Zhen was moved and asked: "Who?"

"Deputy of the Privy Council, Chen Ang."

Originally, the most suitable candidate was Tang Ren, but Tang Ren was currently in Fuzhou enjoying the northwest wind and couldn't make it in time.

And Chen Ang is Shen An's new younger brother, so it is a good thing to give him more qualifications. The key is that only Shen An's intentions can be said.

These thoughts flashed through him like lightning, and Zhao Zhen also knew what he meant.

If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it fodder.

If you go to an official who doesn't deal with Shen An, it's like stabbing him in the back. Not even Zhao Zhen or Han Qi can do this kind of thing.

So shameful.

"Chen Ang..."

Zhao Zhen had no impression of this person, and he didn't know that he had been tricked once. If Shen An hadn't reached out, he would have been destroyed.

"If something goes wrong, I will only talk to you."

You have to take good care of your people. If something goes wrong, I will talk to you and the board will only hit you.

This is what it should be. Shen An said: "If something goes wrong, I will have no shame in coming to see the official."

The wind is rustling and the water is cold...

As soon as the strong man is gone...

Zhao Zhen shook his head, threw away this ominous thought, and said with a smile: "You are still young, so you can do it."

Don't just keep coming back, how can such a good thing happen? You have to work for me until you are eighty!

He thought so, so he smiled softly.

This is a good emperor, really good.

Can……

Shen An left the imperial city and immediately ordered: "Go find Wang Yulai in Yulin Alley, go quickly!"

Chen Luo left, leaving only Wen Xiaozhong beside Shen An.

He glanced at Wen Xiaozhong and asked, "Are all the relatives at home gone?"

This was the first conversation between Wen Xiaozhong and the owner of the Shen family after entering the Shen family. It was very relaxed and flippant.

He answered honestly: "Yes, there are only villains left in the family."

"Then...are you willing to get married?" Wen Xiaozhong was in his twenties. In this era, a normal person should be a father.

Shen An stood on the edge of the imperial city, like an old man basking in the sun, lazily glancing at the city gate from time to time.

He was waiting, waiting for Zhao Zhen's attitude.

"Villain... I'm afraid no woman will like a villain like this." Wen Xiaozhong was a little entangled with this issue. He felt that he was used to being alone, and it would be troublesome to have one more person around him.

"It will happen. Just follow the Shen family and don't let your mind wander. Everything will be fine."

At this time, a man rushed out from the city gate, and he hurriedly prepared to ride away.

"Qianren!"

Chen Ang looked over when he heard the sound and saw that it was Shen An waving, so he hurried over, "An Bei, what I just received is that I asked someone to go to the Shipping Department, and I also asked someone to come look for you."

"Follow someone."

Not long after he came out, Chen Ang received the notice, which shows Zhao Zhen's eagerness.

The emperor is anxious, so this matter can be easily handled!

When we arrived at Shen's house, Wang Yu was already here, and Zhao Zhongzhen and Zhe Kexing were also there.

"Speak in the study."

Shen An is a bit of a germaphobe. When she comes home from outside, she first changes clothes and washes her hands, but today she omitted these two steps.

Wen Xiaozhong was guarding outside the study, and he felt a little confused.

Why is it that such an important event requires me to visit the door?

Do you value it?

Or be open-minded?

"A certain person and the officials and ministers have made a military order, and the annual income of the Shipping Department next year will be one million yuan."

In the study, Zhe Kexing frowned and said: "Brother Anbei, Shibosi is dealing with merchants from other vassals. The annual income has increased slowly over the years. I think this matter may be difficult."

The Shibo Company has been around for decades, but its annual income is only so much. If you suddenly increase it by one-third, this is too scary.

Wang Yu glanced at Chen Ang, who was here for the first time, and felt a little uncomfortable with the addition of outsiders. "If the increase is 30%, then we need to take multiple measures. The merchants of the Song Dynasty must suppress those black-hearted merchants. The merchants of foreign vassals must suppress, suppress Their huge profits... I heard that the extravagance of those foreign merchants is shocking, so it’s time to cut them off."

Both sides must be suppressed, and the merchants from foreign vassals must be dealt with harshly.

Zhao Zhongzhen said calmly: "All businessmen who want to make shady money will be kicked out and are not allowed to participate in sea trade."

This one is even more ruthless and wants to cut off the roots of those businessmen.

Chen Ang was very cautious and did not want to express his opinion.

"Qianren, tell me." Shen An wanted to hear his opinion.

Chen Ang glanced at Zhao Zhongzhen and said: "I think... the key is to get more maritime merchants to come to the Song Dynasty..."

Only expanding the scale is the way out!

This is what he thought of on the way, and it is also his view on political affairs after many years of ups and downs in officialdom.

He felt that he had hit the nail on the head and had a deeper view than these young people.

"good."

Shen An nodded in approval and said: "Someone said something to the officials, but it is just superficial. When you go to the Shipping Department this time, remember a few points. First, unify. Unify the goods of the three shipping companies. Don't scatter them. The pricing and sales shall be unified by the shipping department to strive for maximum profits.”

Chen Ang's heart moved, and he felt that he might have neglected many things.

"Second, go to sea. Remember, if you want to make money, merchants in the Song Dynasty must go to sea to trade. It is best to have a monopoly."

"monopoly?"

Everyone was puzzled, only Wang Yu was thoughtful.

"right."

Shen An felt that he was releasing a demon. He looked at Zhao Zhongzhen and said: "We must encourage merchants to go to sea, form fleets, and let the navy of the Song Dynasty escort them. Sell the goods of the Song Dynasty yourself, and whatever goods the Song Dynasty wants Purchase locally yourself.”

A flash of greed flashed in Zhao Zhongzhen's eyes.

There are too many benefits to monopolizing trade. The Shishi Ship Company currently monopolizes the purchase of goods by foreign merchants and then resells them to merchants in the Song Dynasty.

But this is exploiting domestic businessmen and has no benefit.

And monopolizing the trade of nearby countries will eliminate their businessmen's retreat...

This is a monopoly that pulls out all the stops!

"good idea!"

Under Shen An's gaze, Zhao Zhongzhen praised: "In this way, the Song Dynasty can control the livelihood of those countries through maritime trade, and the navy can often go to sea. If there are disobedient people, they can be attacked."

The future emperor showed his greedy minions, which was a blessing for the Song Dynasty.

Wang Yu opened the folding fan and said calmly: "This is a plan to kill the whole family, a great kindness!"

Zhe Kexing frowned and said, "Just destroy it."

Chen Ang began to look down upon Zhao Zhongzhen and others, thinking that he would become the think tank of this small group, but after what he said, a chill ran down his spine.

What a ruthless group of young people!

In front of them, Chen Ang felt like he had turned into a lamb, so kind and pitiful.

This is a group of wolves. Although they are small, they have learned to show their teeth and enjoy blood food. As time goes by...

wrong!

Suddenly, he was shocked and felt something was wrong.

Zhao Zhongzhen is the future prince and emperor, Shen An will definitely be the prime minister in the future, and Wang Yu looks like a guy full of intrigues. As for Zhe Kexing, this one is a decisive warrior...

This combination...

What will happen in ten years?

What will it look like twenty years from now?

Chen Ang was inspired and immediately re-adjusted his position in this small group. He was no longer a think tank, but an executor.

He couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Shen An's meaningful nod of approval.

This small group has a bright future, and I, Chen Ang, am now a member of it.

He even chuckled a little, and then thought of the person who brought him all this.

Shen An nodded slightly to him, and then said: "This matter was protected by a certain person in front of the officials..."

A feeling of being trusted arose spontaneously, and Chen Ang said: "Someone...doesn't have a million dollars, and so-and-so...has no face to come back."

Then spend the rest of your life blowing in the sea.

This was a vicious oath. Shen An nodded and actually recognized this oath.

If it fails, you can settle down by the sea.

"You have a tough side, but the officialdom is of little use to businessmen, Yuanze."

Wang Yu frowned and said, "I can definitely go."

"This is a rare opportunity for experience."

Shen An encouraged: "You are full of conspiracies and tricks. It would be a pity if you can't put them to practical use."

Wang Yu did not refute the theory of conspiracy. He did not even consider whether his parents agreed or not.

Shen An then explained some of his views on sea trade, "...Businessmen, especially merchants from foreign vassals cannot be trusted. Remember, it is a battlefield, a battlefield of money. The so-called trade is the exchange of what you have, but they are more thirsty. It’s Da Song’s goods, so don’t worry about them running away…”

"We cannot monopolize overseas trade for the time being, but this is a trend. Don't worry about your trip..."

Shen An smiled and said: "There are good things here. I will send them over when the time comes. I guarantee that those merchants will go crazy buying them."

Chen Ang nodded, but he didn't care about this in his heart.

No matter how good something is, it doesn’t work!

How to get the difference of 300,000 yuan?

The large quantity squeezed the profits of foreign merchants.

Then the two of them took their leave and prepared.

Chen Ang was very ambitious, but Wang Yu was a little melancholy.

He slowly walked outside the small shop in Sweetwater Lane.

"Hey! You're late today."

Zuo Zhen's business has been good recently, so she is in a good mood. Seeing that he was melancholy, she joked: "But are you getting married?"

Wang Yu was old enough to get married, but he shook his head and said, "I want to travel far away."

He glanced at Zuo Zhen and saw that there was no negative emotion between her brows, and his mood dropped.

Whoever you care about, hope she cares about you too.

Wang Yu felt that he had been ignored. UU reading www.uukanshu.net

As a result, his mood became more and more depressed.

"Where to go? How long will it take to get back?"

When Zuo Zhen saw an old customer coming, she smiled and prepared to say hello, but the man was just passing by and ignored her.

Why!

She shook her head in disappointment.

Wang Yu suddenly said: "I heard that those ports are good for business. If you go there, you can make a lot of money."

"port?"

The woman looked at him puzzled.

Wang Yu smiled and said: "It's on the seaside, where many ships can park. Businessmen from other vassals gather here, with a lot of money and goods, and many people..."

Zuo Zhen shook her head and said, "I won't go. I like Bianliang, and my officials won't let me go."

yes! Your official...

Wang Yu nodded slightly and said, "So... so and so is gone."

Zuo Zhen glanced at him, hesitated, and said, "Take care."

"good."

The words "take care" made Wang Yu's lips turn up slightly, and his steps became a little brisk, but then he pretended not to care.

The more you care about someone, the more you want to pretend you don't care about her...
