A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Zhao Xu has temporarily settled in the Shen family.

During dinner, Shen An and he ate alone in the study. Curious Guo Guo wanted to join in, but Shen An refused.

"My mother said that I should regret it, but my father said that it is not easy for a king to regret it, but it's a hundred thousand coins! It's a headache."

Zhao Xu got the chance to drink and immediately let go.

He ate a piece of braised pork, and the oil overflowed from the corner of his mouth. He sucked it back, then raised his glass with satisfaction and took a big sip.

Is this baby starving in the palace?

"The palace... should still be able to have enough to eat, right?" Shen An felt that something was wrong with this matter.

"Yes." Zhao Xu picked up another piece of braised pork and said in his busy schedule: "But my mother has ordered...everyone to drink porridge since lunch."

"It's just you?" Shen An felt that Gao Taotao would not lose his mind.

Zhao Xu put down his chopsticks and said with lingering fear: "Except for the Queen Mother, everyone else eats porridge at noon."

Damn it!

This is too fierce!

Shen An thought of Zhao Yunliang and his son. They would go off valley every once in a while, and the whole government would be in trouble as well.

Empress Dowager Cao has a high status and no one can starve her.

But what should we do with so many people in the palace and those delicate princesses?

"My sisters also had porridge today, and they didn't even have snacks."

Zhao Xu was growing up, so he couldn't be hungry. While talking to Shen An, he ate fiercely. After a while, he leaned back on the chair and said with satisfaction: "Your food is still delicious."

When I was a child, I always felt that other people's food was delicious. When I got older, I always felt that other people's wives were better. I don't know why.

Shen An ate slowly, thinking about how to expand the navy.

The Jiaozhi envoy was waiting to see if Shen An was deceiving him. He didn't know what was going on in the past few days.

Shen An of Jiaozhi was reluctant to leave him behind, as it would be a good place for naval training in the future.

Constantly harass and allow new recruits to gain combat experience.

Thinking about it this way, Jiaozhi seems like a good place to play games and level up.

What a great place!

Shen An couldn't help but smile.

But in Zhao Xu's eyes, this smile was gloating, "We have to find a way around this matter, otherwise life in the palace will be difficult."

If there is an emperor who does not act according to common sense, the people in the palace will probably cry.

"I was wondering if I could do some business."

Zhao Xu had been thinking about this for a long time, and now he said it very fluently, "The cattle and sheep business is best. If it doesn't work, just build a fleet and go out to sea for trade. You can make a lot of money."

"How much money can you make from that?" Shen An said disdainfully: "Besides, it's not good for the royal family to get involved in overseas trade."

"Can't you take the lead? Those powerful and wealthy businessmen will follow." Zhao Xu felt that Shen An underestimated the leading role of the royal family.

Why!

Shen An sighed: "You have forgotten that businessmen pursue profits. As long as the first wave of businessmen go overseas and make a lot of money, what royal dignitaries will be used to set an example? Those businessmen will go crazy looking for opportunities to go overseas."

What royal family sets an example? Later, a certain royal family went to rob, and everyone was so poor that they went crazy from top to bottom.

"Just collect taxes from the government. As for the interference of powerful people, with all due respect, powerful people are greedy and they will want to monopolize business, so we must be wary of this tendency."

Greed is human nature, why would I take you with me when I can make money?

Wouldn't it be better for me to do my own business?

"Then what kind of business can my family do?" Zhao Shu agreed to do business last time, but Zhao Xu was waiting for this.

But he was a layman in business, so he had to ask the God of Wealth of the Song Dynasty for advice.

"That's it...just relax."

Shen An said firmly: "Don't worry, your mother, that glass..."

Zhao Xu glanced at the study window and said excitedly: "It's time to come out. How many people will look at you this time."

"Let's wait for a few days." Shen An thought that when things in the palace get bigger, the glass will be more shocked.

This is how my brother got rich!

Many businessmen in the outside world are saying that Shen An is poor. If you are poor, just be poor. They also pretend to be fat and lend money to businessmen to build ships. This is good. The wind blows the eggshells and the wealth is gone.

But how did they know Shen An's plan.

When it comes to innovation, the emperor is the key.

But can the emperor hold on to the overall situation?

Zhao Shu is okay, but the royal family's waist is still not strong enough.

How about a glass?

not enough?

Would a mirror at the back be enough?

Later, that country became extremely rich by relying on mirrors. For this reason, they even brought the production of mirrors to the island in order to keep it a secret.

But what's the secret of wool?

Shen An at least understood some of the principles. After throwing it to She Hui, he just waited for the artifact to appear.

The current glass will make a profit first, and the mirror will make another profit later...

Why does my brother have the potential to be a profiteer?

Shen An couldn't help but smile evilly.

"Well...I'll go back tomorrow."

Who dares to say that Zhao Xu has no filial piety? Shen An can beat him to death right now.

Unexpectedly, his father, the emperor, was living in dire straits in the palace, so Zhao Xu decided to go back as soon as possible to rescue him.

When the news came the next day that the official would not go to court, Zhao Xu had breakfast at Shen's house, and Shi Shiran went to ask to see his parents.

…

The sound of the suona came slowly. A palace maid looked over and saw Zhao Shu standing in the sun, playing the suona with a dull expression.

This is opposite Baoci Palace. Half an hour ago, a conflict broke out between the emperor and the empress. The angry empress drove the officials out, and then the officials played suona here.

Suona is an unusual musical instrument that few people have heard of. After Zhao Shu brought it into the palace, this instrument became everyone's new favorite.

What a tender instrument!

In the hands of Zhao Shu, Suona completely subverted its original appearance and became a tool for expressing emotions in the heart.

If future generations are here, they will probably feel that they heard wrongly.

Is this a suona?

Shouldn't suona be festive?

A cheerful suona song played at the party, and everyone was in high spirits.

"The officials are so infatuated!"

As a rare seed of infatuation among emperors, Zhao Shu, the woman in the harem, refused to take a second look. She only joined hands with Gao Taotao and his wife to unify...that thing.

"Headache!"

Across from Bao Ci Palace, Gao Tao shouted: "Stop bragging."

She still couldn't let go.

The daughters looked pitifully on the sidelines and didn't know how to persuade him. Gao Taotao's anger became even greater when he heard one of them's stomach growling.

"Give all the money to Wai Chao, and we ladies will starve to death together."

It's impossible to live a life like this with officials like this!

"Those prime ministers and assistants are not good people, so they tricked the officials into giving away all their money to them. Now that the palace is suffering, they have not come to help. This shows that this man still has to help himself."

Gao Taotao suddenly felt emotional, but when he thought of the one hundred thousand strings that he had lost, he couldn't help but get angry again.

Feiyan moved, the fat all over her body trembled, and then persuaded: "Sage, haven't you given me the hundred thousand guan yet? Otherwise, I won't give it to you. How dare they say anything wrong?"

"Stupid!" Gao Taotao said angrily: "The emperor cannot go back on his words, otherwise how will the people in the world look at you?"

This is the meaning of the so-called golden words. In fact, it is to maintain the prestige of the emperor.

"But how can we survive this day?"

Gao Taotao was really worried.

"Sage, the king wishes to see you."

"Da Lang? Didn't he leave the palace?"

Gao Taotao was leaning on the couch, but now he sat upright and said: "Let him come. Also, tell the officials to stop bragging. I am not ashamed to be seen by the elder."

Zhao Xu had already seen the affectionate back of his father playing the suona at Baocigong, and was very embarrassed.

It is a good thing for an emperor and an empress to be affectionate, but don't show affection so obviously.

"I've met the officials."

I don’t know when this habit came about. After my son came out of the cabinet, I changed the title of emperor to emperor and minister.

Zhao Shu put down the suona and seemed a little unfinished.

"What brings you here?"

He knew he had made a mistake and impulsively gave the money to the navy, without even thinking about his life in the palace.

"I brought some treasures and want to start this business."

"What treasure?" Zhao Shu's spirit perked up, and he remembered the business his son mentioned last time, so he suppressed his joy and asked, "Don't be evil!"

This royal family is so poor that they even proposed doing business openly, which shows their embarrassment.

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "It's business, big business."

"How big is it?" Zhao Shu asked casually: "Can you earn 50,000 yuan a year?"

If he could earn 50,000 yuan a year, plus the dividends from Anxiang, Zhao Shu felt that his son would become a rich man.

"I'm afraid it won't stop." Zhao Xu naturally knows the power of glass. When light is projected from the window through the glass into the home, how many people can give up that kind of light?

This is an artifact!

"what?"

"Glass. UU reading www.uukanshu.net "

"Take it and take a look."

Zhao Shu was going crazy because of poverty. If he hadn't been concerned about the emperor's face, he would have regretted it and forgotten about the one hundred thousand guan.

Glass is not light, especially large pieces of glass.

Wang Chongnian came over carefully holding a large piece of glass.

Zhao Shu looked at the piece of glass, his brows gradually furrowed, and he said: "Crystals are rare, and even large ones are even rarer. It must not be easy for you to get such a large piece of crystal, right? And you have to grind it into such a piece... … It’s so extravagant, so extravagant.”

Zhao Xu said in shock: "Guan family, this is not crystal, it is glass."

No wonder Zhao Shu would admit his mistake. In this era, crystal is synonymous with luxury goods. If you have a cut-out crystal cup, it is a family heirloom.

And grinding the crystal into a flat state is a waste.

Whatever style you choose will be worth your money.

"Glass?"

Zhao Shu asked: "Is it easy to mine?"

He thought his son had gotten some kind of glass mine, so the excitement in his heart gradually dissipated.

For an emperor, only financial resources that can last for a long time are worthy of his attention. Unless it is the scale of the last time the navy looted the property of Cochin's rich and powerful, he is not interested.

"This is not a mine." Zhao Xu said seriously: "The official family made this."

In an instant, Zhao Shu's breathing became tight.

Created, this is the financial source of sustainable development.

"How many? How many can we make?"

Just by looking at it, he saw the purpose of the glass.

If all the windows were replaced with glass, how much better would the indoor light be?

This is a treasure!

"Call Shen An! Hurry up!"

…

Goodnight everybody.
