A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 786 Are you trying to trick me?

Try it?

Zhao Shu looked solemn and said: "This matter is important, Shen An..."

He was hesitating.

Jiaozi has been around for a long time, and its benefits are obvious, but its disadvantages are also obvious.

In the history of the Song Dynasty, monetary reforms were carried out several times, but they failed to fundamentally solve the problem of money shortage. Shen An's proposal today is exciting, but also unsettling.

"If it fails..."

Han Qi was pondering, holding his big belly with both hands involuntarily, and his eyebrows gradually became more determined: "Your Majesty, if this matter is not resolved, the money shortage among the people will become more and more serious, and all kinds of strange things will happen. "

Anxiang got the money ticket, which was forced out by the money shortage.

There is a faint fragrance today, but who will be there tomorrow?

"Shen An said that we should start with the businessmen first. I think it is very appropriate. Even if the matter fails..." Han Qi's expression was cold, as if he was talking about a trivial matter: "That is also their fate."

If the matter fails and the banknotes become useless, the participating businessmen will consider themselves unlucky.

If such words were spread, businessmen outside could scold Han Qi like a dog.

But Zeng Gongliang said matter-of-factly: "What Prime Minister Han said is true. As a businessman, there's nothing wrong with trying."

Ouyang Xiu came out of the classroom and said: "I second the proposal!"

Zhao Shu did not expect that all the ministers and ministers agreed. He was so excited that he slapped the chair under him and shouted: "Let Zhang come here for eight years."

Later, when Zhang Bian came, Zhao Shu said, "Can you suppress those businessmen?"

Damn it!

This is the rhythm of being a gangster!

Shen An was dumbfounded.

He never thought that Zhao Shu could act like a gangster.

This emperor, who is suspected of suffering from depression and anxiety, has an unstable temperament and is moody, but today he is surprising.

Businessmen were put on the altar at this moment and became the test subjects of the Song Dynasty's financial reform. Once you fail, you will suffer heavy losses at least, or you will go bankrupt and become a pauper...

But at this moment, the monarchs and ministers took it for granted that it was a normal thing.

Seeing that Shen An was a little surprised, Bao Zheng said: "The Song Dynasty has a huge population. If this matter succeeds, it will benefit countless people. If it fails, it will only affect some businessmen. How do you choose?"

Shen An nodded, a trace of unbearability gradually dissipating.

The ministers of the state should not be kind to women. Should we cry as a family or together? Success means laughing all the way, failure means crying all the way, will you do it?

Dry!

"If it fails, I will bear the responsibility for it!"

Bao Zheng has gray beard and hair, but he is proud.

Han Qi sneered and said: "Who is more respected in the affairs of the DPRK? You are just a scheming prime minister, I am the Prime Minister, and I have to take the lead in settling accounts!"

Ouyang Xiu's eyes were blank, "I am old, but I know that this matter is of great importance to the Song Dynasty. If it succeeds, it will be a great thing for the benefit of all people. Of course, this kind of thing must be done. If it fails... I am too old to bear the heavy responsibility. Under the leadership of Prime Minister I have been lying on the dead body for a long time, and I have long wanted to beg for the bones to return home to feed my grandchildren... If this fails, I will just get what I want, wouldn't it be wonderful? Hahahaha!"

Zeng Gongliang smiled slightly, stroked his beard and said: "Since I am a minister of the country, how can I put the king in danger? I am not talented, but I am willing to imitate Zhang Tang..."

This metaphor is somewhat inappropriate. Zhang Tangnai was a cruel official under Han Wu and his sword wielder. When these people gain power, their power is overwhelming. Once the king feels that you have lost your use value, he will throw you out and take the blame.

But Zeng Gongliang's heart for boxing is undoubtedly revealed.

There was more warmth in Zhao Shu's eyes, and he said: "I am a king. It is said that kings sit high in the sky, watching those ordinary people mediocre. They do whatever they want and take pleasure in manipulating the world. But I am not lacking. Take responsibility! Shen An."

Shen An has always felt that the civil servants of this era lacked responsibility and were mediocre and careless. But the monarch and his ministers just now taught him a lesson.

"I'm here."

Zhao Shu said: "What merchants think and how to deal with them, probably no one in the court can match you... In this case, you can go and negotiate with them."

"Just go. If those people are dishonest, I'll just distribute them to a few."

Only Han Qi can say such things.

Shen An nodded. At this moment, the atmosphere in the palace was a bit... touching and tragic at the same time.

The innovations of the Song Dynasty were probably in this atmosphere.

"Just go!" Bao Zheng said murderously: "The money shortage in the Song Dynasty must be solved, and I will bear all the consequences of this! Whoever dares to gossip, I will shoulder the responsibility!"

The number one troll in the Song Dynasty is online!

Zhao Shu said happily: "The good intentions of all the ministers made me... Shen An is young and promising, and all the ministers have a lot of responsibility. I am lucky that the Song Dynasty is like this! Hahahaha!"

Amidst this laughter, the currency reform of the Song Dynasty began.

…

There are countless businessmen in Bianliang, and many of them are famous.

On the last day of Jiayou's eighth year, they received a notice.

——Shen An invites guests to dinner!

Damn it!

The businessmen were a little confused.

Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second, everyone is a businessman, why do you, Shen An, be called the God of Wealth?

Not convinced!

Shen An produced the secret fragrance at such a speed that it was jaw-dropping.

A young man came to Bianliang with nothing, started as a street vendor, and quickly developed into a huge business. The speed is amazing.

After Shen An became prosperous, apart from Wang Tiande, other businessmen never entered his eyes.

In other words, Shen An has always stayed outside the mainstream business district of Bianliang and does not interact with everyone.

Wang Tiande is his spokesperson. Everyone knows this. As an official, Shen An probably doesn't bother to deal with everyone.

But what are you proud of?

The unconvinced businessmen suddenly felt flattered when they suddenly received Shen An's invitation.

Let me go, why is this happening?

Shouldn't we be aloof?

Everyone immediately put on new clothes and came neatly behind Anxiang.

"Sorry to trouble you all."

Wang Tiande came over with a red face. As Shen An's spokesperson, he felt extremely honored at this moment.

It’s long overdue!

The rise of Anxiang was so fast that it made the businessmen of Bianliang feel uncomfortable, and then uneasy.

The business district in Bianliang is like a fish pond. The big fish eat the small fish, and the small fish eat the shrimps. Everyone has a great time. But suddenly a young man barged in straight away, without any rules, just doing it.

Many people still remember Shen An's appearance.

——He was carrying a load. On one end of the load were pot stickers and household items, and on the other end sat a girl.

The girl's eyes were blank and uneasy, and her eyes almost never left her brother.

That's a scared girl.

Shen An just carried the burden, starting from a stall in Zhouqiao Night Market, and became the largest in Bianliang.

He was like a dragon that suddenly fell from the sky and landed in the pond in Bianliang Business District, making a huge splash.

The water splashed down, and everyone found that the dragon was very kind, so they went to test it out, but they were disgraced.

But as local snakes, they were confident of giving this dragon a fatal blow, but Shen An's development was too fast.

From literature to martial arts, he directly used countless achievements to convince businessmen to take advantage of them.

Then when Zhao Shu entered the palace and transformed into a prince, everyone was shocked to find that Shen An had turned into a close friend of the royal family.

Damn it!

This guy's luck is incredible!

Therefore, no matter how unconvinced they are, businessmen can only hold it in as Shen An's circle of friends continues to expand and become stronger.

Everyone went in and sat down. A maid served tea and snacks. A businessman who looked mature asked tentatively: "Exceptor Wang, may I ask if I would like to invite you today... No, we were invited to come, but is there something else? It's New Year's Day soon." Yes, we are busy with the affairs awaiting the imperial edict, so we can’t afford to delay it!”

Please become a caller. Of course, a truly mature businessman will not make such a mistake. I can only say that this is still a temptation.

The so-called busy schedule actually means: It’s the New Year right around the corner, and we all have a lot to do, so if you have anything to do, just tell us as soon as possible.

Wang Tiande's eyes were slightly cold, "Um... I have something to do today, so I have to come later. He entrusted me to say something to everyone..."

Everyone listened carefully.

"As the imperial edict has said, the Song Dynasty treated merchants well, made us rich, and made us famous in public... Is this deep enough friendship?"

"enough."

"The kindness that the officials have shown me..." A businessman suddenly stretched out his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes and sighed, "I will never be able to repay it in ten lifetimes!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, as if without Zhao Guan's family, everyone would have to beg for food.

Wang Tiande listened to these words of praise to the saint, then nodded and said with a smile: "I have remembered everyone's words, and I will naturally report them to Taizhao later... these words..."

He pointed in the direction of the imperial city with a smile and said, "I will enter the palace."

Is it actually related to the palace?

Everyone sat up straight.

"Dai Zhao would like to ask everyone, are you short of copper coins?"

Wang Tiande smiled very reservedly. The merchants didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so they were a little cautious.

It was the mature businessman who spoke again: "Of course we are short of copper coins. Many times, even if we are short of copper coins, we can't do any business that comes to our door... It's so helpless!"

"Then...how about Jiaozi?"

Wang Tiande brought up today's topic, and the businessmen were happy to hear it.

"Good friends! We are businessmen. Even if we don't need copper coins, sometimes we have to carry a lot of copper coins with us when we go far away to do business."

"If we can do business with Jiaozi, we will be absolutely delighted!"

"Is the DPRK planning to issue Jiaozi in Bianliang? That's a good feeling."

"This is probably Shen Taizhao's suggestion, right?"

A businessman said with tears of gratitude: "Taizhao is really the savior of our generation. If this is true, I will enshrine Taizhao's memorial tablet at home, and the incense will be endless every day..."

"Yeah..." Wang Tiande said with a sympathetic face: "The same is true for so-and-so!"

Endless incense?

Wang Tiande thought so, thinking that Shen An had really worked hard for the well-being of the businessmen, and even persuaded the DPRK to issue banknotes.

"Wait for the imperial edict... From now on, if there are any instructions from the imperial edict, it is our duty to do so!"

a businessman pumped his fist and shouted, prompting cheers from everyone.

"No turning back!"

"Who dares to say that the person who is waiting for the imperial edict is not the right person? We and him will be at odds with each other!"

"As long as the banknotes are issued, I will be the savior and benefactor I am waiting for..."

"..."

Everyone was really grateful and shed tears. The businessman was good at saying good things, so he kept flattering him.

"Everyone... I am so moved!"

Shen An appeared, smiling.

"Wait for the edict to come."

Businessmen came in droves, and words of gratitude poured in to Shen An like a tide.

Shen An took all the orders without changing his expression, and after they had calmed down, he said sternly: "The Fist and Fist Heart you were waiting for heard just now..."

The merchants secretly rejoiced, "Be polite to the imperial edict. This is what you should do."

"That's great!" Shen An smiled happily, "Since you are so happy, I just have a suggestion..."

"Please tell me when I'm waiting for the edict!"

Everyone hoped that something good would happen, so they surrounded Shen An.

Shen An coughed dryly, "The banknote matter is a foregone conclusion."

Everyone looked happy, and Shen An said, "Then accept the purchase."

Everyone was puzzled. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Someone asked: "What do you want to buy when you wait for the imperial edict?"

"Bills!"

The atmosphere immediately changed. The businessmen were stunned, and some even backed away.

Actually want to buy banknotes?

"Waiting for the imperial edict, how much do you agree to buy?"

Someone asked out of luck.
