A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Wang Yu stood there calmly, but Shen An couldn't remain calm.

Su Shi practiced three moves of fists and kicks. What the hell is this?

Three moves, do you think you are Chen Yaojin?

Chen Yaojin's three moves are just a legend. A real warrior only knows three moves, and if he goes into battle, he will lose his life.

"Get ready to take action!"

He was not prepared to reason with the Liao people. Once Su Shi was beaten, he would definitely step forward.

Isn't it just fists and kicks? My brother is also a civil servant, let’s try it.

Shen An practiced Sanda every day. When Zhe Kexing met, he just said it was just a trick on the fists and legs. Shen An was not convinced. The two had a duel, and Shen An lost.

Shen An lost because his fists were not strong enough, while Zhe Kexing won because he was strong in resisting blows.

So Zhe Kexing told him that if he wanted to practice boxing and kicking, he had to practice being beaten first.

But Shen An gave up after only two days of practice.

He was not lacking in perseverance, but practicing beatings every morning caused heartache to the two women in his family.

Guoguo burst into tears, Yang Zhuoxue held out her stomach and said it was okay, but she stood watching from the side and couldn't persuade her to leave.

Shen An was worried that the child in her belly would be affected by emotions, and he felt that this method of beating was not scientific enough, so he gave up.

So he continued to be unable to win against Katsuyuki, and then began to study speed.

In the world of martial arts, speed is the most powerful.

Shen An's sword skills are all about taking the fast route. From drawing the sword to swinging the sword, it must be as fast as lightning.

As a result, his fists and kicks pursued speed more and more, and he gradually felt that he had become an expert.

But when he saw Su Shi's first two moves, he felt that this guy was going to lose his appearance today.

But the last kick made him dumbfounded.

Damn it!

Su Shi has become so sinister?

Boom!

"ah!"

The Liao envoy was kicked between the legs, his mouth opened, and he let out a short scream.

Some people generally think that if a person is kicked in the vitals, he will scream immediately, but this varies from person to person.

The Liao envoy suppressed his screams due to the severe pain. He felt that all the strength in his body was dispelled by the severe pain and wanted to kneel down immediately.

But he knew he couldn't.

The messenger is the face of the country. He would rather lose his head than lose his face.

So his body was shaking, but he refused to kneel down to relieve the pain.

The onlookers were speechless at this moment.

No one cheered, no one praised.

Because teasing the vaginal legs is too cruel for men, fights are rarely seen in general. But Su Shi, a civil servant with a far-reaching literary reputation, actually resorted to lifting his vaginal legs. This is really...

It’s so cool!

At this moment, everyone felt as comfortable as drinking a glass of ice water on a hot summer day.

But the Liao people seemed to have eaten a piece of mouse droppings. Someone said angrily: "Kill him!"

Everyone was ready to rush forward, but the crowd behind Su Shi was pushed away, and Shen An walked over first like a gangster.

He looked at the Liao envoy and asked with a sympathetic gesture: "What's wrong with your envoy? Your balls hurt?"

"It's Shen An!"

The Liao people's momentum stopped abruptly, and Shen An smiled and said: "I didn't expect that Shen's reputation would be so vicious. This is inappropriate, extremely inappropriate!"

The Liao people were indeed afraid of him, especially after Shen An was the last fisherman to reap the benefits in the battle of Linfu Road, defeating the heavy cavalry of the Liao army with gunpowder cans, the Liao people began to summarize this man's past experiences, and finally concluded came to a conclusion.

This is an old Yinbi!

Someone shouted: "Su Shi and he were born from the same mold."

Huh! yes!

The Liao people couldn't help but suddenly realized that co-writing Su Shi was also Shen An's routine. He never paid attention to anything aboveboard, but just did what he could to win.

Shen An was startled and then discovered this fact.

yes! Su Shi changed, became less passionate, and even learned to use dirty tricks.

This is……

It’s none of X’s business.

At this moment, Shen An ignored the sages' experience that if you are close to red, you will be red, and if you are close to ink, you will be black.

He felt that the atmosphere was not good enough, so he shouted: "Okay!"

Everyone was secretly enjoying themselves, but there was only one person missing to start shouting. At this moment, Shen An shouted "Hello", which immediately caused a tsunami.

Mountains roar and tsunami roars!

The mountain shouts like a tsunami!

"good!"

"Well done, Yushi Su!"

The negative consequences of teasing the vaginal legs were selectively forgotten at this moment, and the people rejoiced and cheered for the civil servants of the Song Dynasty.

Su Shi stood with his hands behind his back, and a bold poem gradually took shape in his mind.

It's lonely enough that someone's poetry and articles are invincible, but now even someone's fists and feet are like this...

Is there anything else in this world that can stump me, Su Shi?

Zhang Ba8, who came quickly, couldn't help but feel surprised and shocked when he saw the results.

"Su Shi actually won?"

Someone from the Imperial City Department witnessed the whole process, "Everyone knows that Su Shi used to lift his vaginal legs."

"It doesn't matter what leg it is, what's important is that the Song Dynasty cannot lose on the day before New Year's Day,"

The Imperial City Division never pays attention to means, but only seeks results.

If his subordinates used a beauty trick to obtain information from the upper echelons of the Liao Kingdom, Zhang Baibian would only applaud him and give him credit.

"Shen An is there!"

The men discovered Shen An, and Shen An was proudly teasing the Liao ambassador. What a villain!

"Shen Ai Zhao, His Majesty has summoned you."

Shen An wanted to ridicule the Liao envoy, but his interest was disrupted.

When he saw Sima Guang all the way into the palace, Shen An smiled and looked relieved.

"Guan family, Su Shi just had a quarrel with the Liao envoy. The Liao envoy challenged him. Su Shi accepted the challenge and defeated the Liao envoy..."

Zhang Baibian's report was very concise, but it made Zhao Shu a little confused.

"Su Shi could actually defeat the Liao envoy?"

Is Zhang eight years dazzled?

This thought just passed by for a moment. Zhao Shu knew very well what Zhang Bianba was capable of. His eyes looked like ghosts, but his eyesight was extremely good.

But how did Su Shi defeat the Liao envoy?

"How's it going with Liao Envoy?"

"Fortunately, because he took the initiative to invite the fight, and he had nothing to say after being defeated in the end."

this……

There was more suspicion in Zhao Shu's eyes, but the emperor could not be too curious in public, otherwise he would be easily looked down upon by his ministers.

He turned his eyes to Shen An, and his tone became more stern.

"Why do you want to issue money tickets privately? Do you know this is a serious crime?"

The right to issue coins must be controlled by the court. This is the lesson of all dynasties.

Liu Bi of the former Han Dynasty took advantage of the salt and copper mines, and finally had the capital to rebel.

Zhao Shu felt that Shen An was too greedy, so his words were more harsh.

He was waiting for Shen An's quibble.

Shen An said calmly: "Does the official know how much money An Xiang has in and out every year?"

He held out three fingers and said, "Totaling up Anxiang's various businesses, about 300,000 copper coins are passed through every year. I dare to ask the officials, if they don't get money notes, how can they deliver so many copper coins? Can Bianliang know that? Are you in a financial crisis because of this?"

Bianliang was the political and economic center of the Song Dynasty, with huge amounts of goods and money flowing every day.

The annual flow of money of 300,000 guan has an impact on Bianliang. Copper coins in the Song Dynasty are already tight. Adding the flow of 300,000 guan of copper coins, the business community in Bianliang will probably have a headache.

However, Zhao Shu was a little surprised by this number.

"Three hundred thousand strings..."

"right."

Shen An said: "I came up with ways to make money several times, and even discussed a partnership with the king, but in the end I stopped. Why? It's because of the lack of money."

How to do business without money?

At this moment, the Song Dynasty was at the peak of its economy, and everywhere was hungry for copper coins. Shen An wanted to do some big business, such as glass...

What would that be like?

Money will further gather in Bianliang, and then officials and businessmen from various places will cry out that there is no money.

Bao Zheng came in a hurry, and when he saw Shen Anzai, he shouted: "But you made a mistake? It's New Year's Day soon. Why are you bothering the officials if you don't drink and stand up?"

Lao Bao scolded Shen An before asking what was going on, but he was trying to shirk responsibility for him.

Zhao Shu's face turned a little dark, and Sima Guang came out and said, "Shen An privately sent money notes."

You, Bao Zheng, are the Third Chief of Staff. You should know how serious this matter is, right?

If you know Shen An, you are guilty; if you don't know, Bao Zheng is derelict in his duty.

When Bao Zheng heard about this, he complained: "The officials and the Song Dynasty did not have enough copper coins, but those merchants from other vassals made a lot of money every time they came to trade. If this continues, the next time the officials' salaries are paid, they will not be enough." The company can only issue money invoices."

There are no more copper coins, so just take the money coupons and use them. I don’t care whether you can use them or not.

This Bao Zheng is really shameless.

Sima Guang frowned and said, "Is there such a shortage of copper coins?"

Bao Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "Que, I wish I could find a big copper mine under Sansi, and dig it out and get copper coins."

Sima Guang didn't expect that it had reached this level, and he was less dissatisfied with Shen An.

"How to do it?"

His understanding of the economy... Back then, his "Theory of fixed numbers of money in the world" was completely criticized by Shen An, so he didn't dare to pretend to be an expert now, so he could only ask for advice with an open mind.

"I don't know either." Bao Zheng failed to give him an authoritative answer.

Sima Guang thought he was dissatisfied with himself, and couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.

He was a son of an official, and his parents had always wanted his son to succeed since he was a child. They were very strict with him in his education, saying things like "you should study hard and be successful when you grow up" every day.

These words were pressure, which overwhelmed the young Sima Guang, but he could only accept the pressure.

Gradually, he felt that he had to become a pillar of the Song Dynasty. In other words, he hoped that the Song Dynasty would become better in his hands.

And this requires power and status.

The position of Prime Minister couldn't be better, but now there are so many talents in the DPRK that even Wen Yanbo can only squat in other places and cannot return to Beijing.

Sima Guang thought that he could not compete with these people, so his temper gradually changed...

He had been overwhelmed by the demands of his parents and relatives since he was a child. As he gradually moved closer to the center of power, he discovered that he was not top-notch.

I want to be the top one!

His wish gradually shattered, and he felt almost desperate. Then he gradually learned to keep a straight face and hide the emotions in his heart.

He suddenly asked Bao Zheng for advice, and Bao Zheng's attitude made him a little sad, and a gap opened in the mask he had worn for many years.

No one knew how he was feeling at the moment. Bao Zheng thought for a while and said: "Guan family, no copper mines have been found in the Song Dynasty recently. The current output of copper coins is increasing every year, but this increase is far from making up for the emergence of copper coins." There is a big hole, and I can’t do anything about it. As for Shen An’s Qianqiao, with all due respect, it is difficult to find a way out of the money shortage in the Song Dynasty. The only possibility is Qianqiao. But Qianqiao has risks..."

He is also worried about the risk of money tickets. Not only him, but also the emperors and ministers of the entire dynasty were worried about this risk. Otherwise, Jiaozi would not be restricted to Yizhou and other places and would not spread.

"Officials, I think... there is actually a way to solve the money issue..." Shen An's attitude was very serious, but most of the monarchs and ministers in the palace did not believe it.

There was a solemn look in Bao Zheng's eyes. This matter was important. If Shen An talked nonsense, he might not be able to help but teach someone a lesson on the spot.

"How to solve it?" Zhao Shu felt that his scalp was a little tight, which was a sign before the onset of the disease.

What patients with anxiety and depression fear most are problems and troubles. Once problems and troubles cause anxiety, they will become ill later.

He balled his hands into fists and resisted the urge to hit his head.

Shen An knew nothing about this, and he felt that the opportunity he was looking forward to finally appeared.

"Business in the Song Dynasty was developed, and the growth rate was not low every year. The same was true for Chen's secret fragrance, with sales increasing every year. But Wang Tiande told me that some merchants had reduced their purchases. I was puzzled and thought it was secret fragrance. There was a problem with the goods, who knew it was because of lack of money..."
