A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 862 Famous Navigation Pioneer

There are countless wine shops in Bianliang City. Those who are reluctant to spend money to go to restaurants come to drink in small wine shops like this. Although they are not high-end, they are very lively.

Several businessmen's faces turned red after drinking, and they sighed from time to time.

"I didn't believe it at first, but one day I heard Taizhao say that there are mountains of gold and silver overseas, and islands full of spices... Those are all money!"

"Furthermore, the imperial edict also said that our Song Dynasty can just bring some goods there, such as dishes and ironware. They are treasures in the eyes of the natives, and they can be exchanged for a lot of gold and silver."

"What are you waiting for?"

"No boat!"

"After the navy entered the city, many merchants wanted to go to sea, but there were no ships!"

"Let's do it then, let's go buy a boat."

"I can't buy one. The navy has ships that can go to sea, but the shipyard is constantly building warships every day. How can it find the time to buy merchant ships for us?"

"Tsk! How about... let's build a shipyard?"

"Where's the money? It's a lot of money."

"Loan!"

Several businessmen gradually became excited.

Yang Jinian couldn't stand listening anymore. He felt that the adventurous spirit of these idiots was worthy of praise, but they didn't know that the policies of the DPRK and China would lead to them being hunted to the ends of the earth by loan sharks.

"cough!"

He coughed dryly, and several businessmen next to him looked fiercely, feeling that their brilliant business plan had been leaked.

"A certain censor Yang Jinian."

"What's wrong with the censor?" A businessman said angrily: "The censor can't eavesdrop on us, right?"

Another businessman stood up and was suddenly pulled by his companion.

"Why are you pulling someone?"

The businessman who pulled him said: "It seems that he is Shen Daizhao's father-in-law."

"No, no, no, now I'm going to call you Guixinhou."

If the title of nobility in the Song Dynasty is a bit overwhelming below the level of marquis, then the title of marquis has reached a higher level, and Shen An was awarded the title of marquis based on military merit, which is different from ordinary titles. There are even rumors that he wants the title of Champion Hou, so many people have changed their minds recently.

"Yes! Listen to the imperial edict... it would be better for those guys like me to be called Gui Xinhou."

Many people in the industry use the nickname "Dai Zhao", so calling Shen An "Dai Zhao" would be a bit disrespectful.

But this guy doesn't have a real job... No, it seems he does, Zhao Xu's minister. But this guy never seemed to fulfill his duties.

Several businessmen smiled and cupped their hands, "I have met Yang Yushi."

Yang Jinian felt a little aggrieved, thinking that a certain person was a dignified imperial censor, but these businessmen turned their backs on each other, and finally had to hear the name of his son-in-law before they changed their attitude.

But that's what happened in the Song Dynasty. Even if it was the prime minister, the people would dare to throw a few rotten eggs.

He sighed in his heart, "Wait...if you want to go to sea, the Young Master said that you must first wait for the navy to expand. Otherwise, there are many pirates overseas, and without the protection of the navy, going to sea will be a risk."

The businessmen were startled and discovered the problem keenly.

"In other words, if we want to go to sea, we have to wait for the approval of the Central Government..."

"The navy has been building warships. I think it will come soon."

"It's hard to say. If it's a loan, the interest will be delayed...it can drag people to death!"

That's what loan sharking is like. Once you get involved, it's hard to get out.

So these businessmen were a little scared.

But if you have the opportunity to make money, you are not a businessman. A businessman gritted his teeth and said: "How about we take a risk and take a gamble?"

A businessman without gambling is not a good businessman, and this is true in many industries.

When facing a big turning point, it seems safe to not gamble, but when others get the benefits, he can only lag behind and drool.

"Huh!"

A businessman suddenly glanced at Yang Jinian and said, "When... you convert, won't you be rich?"

"Yes! Why didn't we think of it?"

"Borrowing money with Gui Xinhou, I think the interest will be less, and Gui Xinhou is generous. Even if the payment is overdue, he will not be forced too much."

"Okay, okay!"

The businessmen raised their glasses to Yang Jinian, "If it hadn't been for Yang Yushi's suggestion, we would have been cheated by the moneylenders. Thank you, Yang Yushi."

How many businessmen did you save?

Yang Jinian's energy immediately rose. He finished his drink in a few moments and stood up to pay the bill.

"Yang Yushi, are you looking down on me?"

After a dispute, Yang Jinian managed to have a midnight snack without spending any money.

He came home drunk. When Mrs. Li saw him, she quickly helped him wash up and go to bed.

"hey-hey!"

Yang Jinian was smiling on the bed, and Li said angrily: "This is a rare time to go out for a drink. If you don't drink, you will get drunk."

"So-and-so is not drunk!"

Yang Jinian said proudly: "Just now, a few businessmen wanted to borrow money to build ships. One of them said that the DPRK and the Central Government were temporarily unable to go to sea, and they would be ruined if they borrowed money..."

"This is a good sign of merit. I think Dalang will be admitted as a Jinshi."

Mrs. Li was taking off her clothes beside her, feeling that her official had become enlightened.

"Then they thought of their son-in-law and were going to borrow money from him... They also said that the interest was low. If he hadn't been there, how would they have thought of borrowing money from his son-in-law..."

Mrs. Li slowly turned around, her half-unbuttoned clothes scattered, her eyebrows raised.

"You drunkard... Most of my son-in-law's money has been exchanged for banknotes. He has no money..."

Shen An's current routine has changed.

When I get up in the morning, I go to see Little Taro first, then my wife, and finally I go for a run.

The daughter-in-law successfully unloaded the goods, and good times were not far away, so Shen An's diet returned to spicy and spicy flavors.

Beat the lamb chops until loose, then add seasonings and marinate for a while.

Heat the pan and fry the lamb chops until golden brown.

Stir the pot with ginger and garlic, add hot sauce, and finally add stock.

As soon as the water boils, add noodles and vegetables.

After the noodles are cooked, add the soup and water to the pot, then put the lamb chops on top.

The lamb chops are extremely tender, with a slight tangy flavor when you take a bite, followed by a strong aroma.

Take a bite of noodles, take another sip of soup, and enjoy the aroma of lamb chops.

"It's so enjoyable!"

After eating a large bowl of soup cake, Shen Anxin said with satisfaction: "When your sister-in-law is out of confinement, our family will go out to the city for a walk."

"Go to Jinmingchi!"

Guo Guo likes to ride boats.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Shen An smiled and agreed, when someone knocked on the door outside.

"Mr. Lang, I want to see you."

"Who is this so early in the morning?"

Shen An didn't want his pure days to be disturbed. When he got to the front, he saw a group of businessmen standing there.

"I've seen Gui Xinhou."

"I'm not waiting for an edict!" Shen An's reaction was a little slow, and then he remembered that he had been granted a title.

My military merit has been granted a title!

The titles of the Song Dynasty were not valuable, but the military titles were different, and they were also civil titles.

Han Qi and the others will probably have red eyes with envy.

Shen An felt proud, but his face didn't show it.

"What are you waiting for here?"

The merchants murmured for a while, and then a merchant came out, crossed his hands and saluted, and said, "Your Majesty, I want to go to sea."

Do they want to go to sea?

Good thing!

The other leg of the Song Dynasty is the sea. This is not Shen An's nonsense, but the real deal.

In the future, only half of the Southern Song Dynasty was left, but it still relied on sea trade to survive.

The sea is wealth!

If we go out to sea for trade now, and the Song navy will follow us, we will naturally discover countless new continents. What kind of bullshit sailing pioneers will then...

In textbooks a hundred years later, when you open the subject of navigation, you will read...

——Famous sailing pioneer and convert to the Song Dynasty, Shen'an...

This is the correct opening posture!

Shen An thinks this is a good thing, "If we go to sea, we have to wait until the navy builds more warships and figures out the shipping routes."

He smiled and said: "You just have to prepare now. When the time comes, thousands of sailors will gather, and then go to sea to make money."

The Song Dynasty needed commercial taxes and overseas trade to obtain more wealth, so that it could continue to win on land.

Make up the land with the sea!

Shen An thinks this idea is good.

As for overseas countries, they are just cannibals at the moment, and we will just do it when the time comes.

"Yes, I believe in Hou Gaojian." The man in front of him is the God of Wealth of the Song Dynasty. The businessman said respectfully: "We want to go to sea, but now we can't build a ship that can go to sea..."

"Build a shipyard!" Shen An has always believed in profit-driven innovation, so he followed suit and said, "You can go build a shipyard later and ensure a prosperous business."

To be honest, if there wasn't too much business to make money, Shen An would have wanted to build a large shipyard. The rate of return would make future businessmen eye-rolling.

"But there is no money..." The businessman said pitifully: "We are just small businessmen, we don't have that much money..."

Big businessmen will be more cautious, and many will observe before taking action.

But small businessmen dare to take risks.

When Shen An thought of this, he said, "But I want to borrow money..."

"Yes!" The businessmen sighed in unison, their voices loud.

Shen An pondered for a moment and said: "Most of a certain person's money was changed into banknotes...but the remaining ones are enough."

"The Marquis of Guixin is indeed the God of Wealth!"

When businessmen saw Shen An, they felt as if they were seeing the richest man. Now that they heard that Shen An was willing to lend money, they were immediately flooded with flattery.

But what Shen An saw was the general trend.

"Honestly, let's deal with them."

Naturally, Shen An would not do this kind of thing with his own hands, so Zhuang Laoshi came with a grimace.

After finishing the work, he looked at the empty warehouse and said without tears: "Lang Jun spent money... No. 1 in the Song Dynasty."

He wanted to cry but had no tears, but Pu Jiu was excited and crazy.

He was called to Jinmingchi early in the morning, where Shen An was.

Beside Jinming Pond, Shen An was sitting there wearing a bamboo hat, fishing with a fishing rod in his hand.

"I've seen... I've seen the converted prince. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net"

Pu Jiu bowed with folded hands very respectfully.

This converted prince seemed to be kind, but in his heart he was more ruthless than anyone else. Pu Jiu felt this deeply.

Shen An raised his head slightly and said: "The warship construction is in full swing. I am very pleased to hear that you are working hard."

Is this a compliment to me?

Pu Jiu was happy and said, "The villain is just trying his best."

"good."

Shen An put the fishing rod at his feet and said, "Sit down and talk."

But there are no stools nearby!

Pu Jiu didn't dare to say that he didn't have a stool, so he had to squat down.

Shen An didn't care about this, "You are quite capable. I heard that you bring those big cannibals together every day?"

"The villains don't dare." Pu Jiu panicked and sat down on the ground. "The villains just talk to each other and eat the same food, so they get closer."

"It's just a trivial matter, why are you panicking?"

Shen An seemed not to notice Pu Jiu's embarrassment, "Many businessmen in the Song Dynasty were planning to set up a shipyard, but they didn't know how to build merchant ships that could go to sea..."

He looked at Pu Jiu with calm eyes.

Pu Jiuqiang smiled and said: "When... I convert, I will be loyal to the Song Dynasty!"

Shen An's gesture was to let him, Pujiu, take the initiative to go there and help the merchants build merchant ships to go to sea.

But Pu Jiu knew that building warships was the core, and merchant ships... that was marginalization.

"This villain built a warship for the Song Dynasty!"

"It's just temporary." Shen An said calmly: "Someone in that shipyard also has a stake."

Pu Jiu felt at ease now, "Such a villain is willing to go."

After he left, Shen An said to Qin Zhen: "The warships of the Song Dynasty must be built by the people of the Song Dynasty. If Pu Jiu and others are unwilling to integrate into the Song Dynasty, then they should be isolated."
