A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

A small place outside Bianliang City near the Bianhe River was surrounded by a wall, and a water gate was built. There was construction in full swing every day.

"Our glass will be produced here from now on."

Shen An took Zhao Xu in with great ambition.

"I've met Brother Dao."

The two Taoists came as engineers to direct the construction of the glass production line. After seeing Shen An, they respectfully saluted and said hello.

"Good job."

Shen An smiled politely, but the two Taoist priests were serious.

"Lang Jun, they don't seem to be very polite."

Chen Luo felt that the two Taoists were a little too arrogant.

"That's a profession...you don't understand. People who are suitable for this profession have this kind of temperament. It's normal."

Shen An took Zhao Xu around here and then returned.

"Have you thought about how much money you can earn?" After seeing the scale inside, Zhao Xu was a little excited.

After going through a torment in the palace, he felt that money was not everything, but it was impossible to live without this thing.

Money, money, when will we not be short of money?

As a prince, the future prince would actually worry about money. If he told it, few people would believe him.

The common people would say that officials always use golden bowls to eat, and one meal has half a sheep... What a luxury!

Will such a royal family still be short of money? I'm afraid the shit you poop smells like sheep.

This is what Zhao Xu heard when he was out of the palace one time. After eating enough, two old farmers squatted on the roadside and talked nonsense. In the end, they talked about the royal family's lack of money.

The people are stupid, but the ministers are not stupid, right?

There was a cold look in Zhao Xu's eyes. Those ministers knew that the palace was in a difficult situation, but could anyone help? They all want to get rid of all the money in the palace. As for the royal family eating chaffy vegetables, that is none of our business.

"This money cannot be given to the foreign court." Zhao Xu said harshly; "If the official gives this money to the foreign court again, I will leave the palace and live in your house for half a month, leaving him to make trouble with my mother."

It is said that Gao Taotao has become furious, saying that if Zhao Shu gives away money again, she will take her children out of the palace, and she can support the children even by weaving.

Zhao Shu has done something wrong!

But this was his own fault, and Shen An said he was happy to hear it.

"How much money can you make?" Zhao Xu is now interested in this.

"Probably..." Shen An really didn't do the math, so he needed to make a rough calculation.

"Five hundred pieces of glass are produced every month, one hundred pieces of glass, fifty thousand pieces of glass a month, twelve months a year..."

Uncle Taro made a scene last night, and Shen An only slept for less than an hour, and now she is a little confused.

"Twelve months a year...600,000 guan?" Zhao Xu trembled, "This is still the beginning. Thirty percent, 180,000 guan, I'm getting rich, getting rich!"

Well!

Shen An was also stunned, "The academy has more than 100,000 yuan... What experiments can't be done? The Imperial Academy can't even afford meat, so our academy is full of meat every day, making them greedy."

"What if those students can't bear it anymore and want to protest?" Shen An shook his head, feeling that this idea was a little immoral and unethical.

After all, Taixue is the place where he once devoted his efforts, so he might as well leave some friendship behind.

Shen An felt that he was really very affectionate, and he was inevitably a little sad. He felt that people like him were probably rare and rare...

Zhao Xu thought for a moment and asked, "You said the cost is not too high. If more than 100,000 gold coins enter the palace a year, the life of the official family will be much easier."

He thought this was great good news and hurried back to the palace.

"What? One hundred and eighty thousand strings?"

Zhao Shu couldn't help but be a little confused when he heard this number.

"Did you remember it wrong?"

Zhao Xu said: "Guan family, this is without the cost. After the cost, it would still be more than 100,000 yuan."

Get rich!

Zhao Xu has been worried about the cost of the palace recently. Even Queen Cao is preparing to reduce the number of people around her, which makes him feel ashamed.

That’s the Queen Mother!

Costs can be reduced everywhere in the palace, but not with the Empress Dowager.

That is a widow. As the saying goes, a widow is unemployed. If you cut her expenses, she is not a human being.

For example, Li Wan in The Story of the Stone was a widow who was unemployed and had a son. Life in Jia's house was really difficult, but at least most people didn't dare to be mean to her or easily reduce the expenses of their mother and son. Otherwise, if word spreads, the Jia family really doesn’t need to be a good person anymore.

As soon as more than 100,000 yuan entered the palace, the dilemma of poverty was naturally alleviated. With Zhao Xu's dividends from Anxiang, Zhao Shu suddenly found that he had become rich.

These are all the credit of this son!

Zhao Shu sighed and couldn't help but sigh when he thought of his son's experience with Shen An.

"How did you meet Shen An at that time?"

He never asked this question, he was very curious.

Zhao Xu felt a little embarrassed.

"Tell me, will my father still laugh at you?" Zhao Shu threw away the rules at this moment and smiled more like a father.

Zhao Xu said nervously: "I was still young at that time, and I didn't get along well with those people in the prince's palace, so I liked to go out and hang out."

"At that time, Shen An had just arrived in Bianliang, and he brought Guoguo with him... Guoguo was only four years old at that time, and he looked very pitiful..."

If Shen An hears this, she will definitely tell him that my sister has my pity, and her future husband's pity, so you can spare her.

"He was making pot stickers at that time. Chen thought it was fun, so he queued up to buy them."

Zhao Xu looked reminiscing and said with a smile: "It must have been at night. When it was my turn, Shen An gave the pot stickers without asking for my money. Then he slapped me on the back of the head and yelled at me to go home quickly. …”

At that time, Zhao Shu's mental state was not good and he often fell ill. Gao Taotao was not popular in the house, and their family was not living well.

"Later, I went there several times. Every time I saw him, he told me to go home in a fierce manner. I gradually became familiar with him."

After a very simple experience, Zhao Shu sighed: "It's rare for you young people to make friends. What's even more rare is that Shen An, a great talent, came up with those treasures. Not only did his family become richer than the country, but he also made the Song Dynasty strong. He was indeed worthy of the Mang Mountain lineage. The heir of."

"He has no money." Zhao Xu was worried that Shen An would be suspected. "The money was converted into banknotes, and the excess was lent to businessmen who wanted to build ships. He even borrowed the monthly expenses of the academy."

"Really?" Zhao Shu was a little moved, "I thought he would be reluctant to spend it if he had money, but the academy costs a lot of money, and he is actually willing to lend money to those merchants to build ships. Can't he build ships himself? Of course, but still By lending it to those people instead of getting it myself, it can be seen that he is giving up his own interests for the future maritime trade of the Song Dynasty, and he is a loyal minister!"

When Chen Zhongheng heard this, he couldn't help but smile, thinking that Shen An was lucky.

The official has a stubborn temper, and if he can be said to be loyal, there will be many benefits in the future.

Zhao Shu said with a smile: "Your mother's side... go and talk about it."

The couple had just reconciled, and Zhao Shu felt that it was time to regain his prestige, so he refused to apologize any more.

Zhao Xu went to see Gao Taotao. As soon as he met, he saw his mother's stern face and said cautiously, "I have seen a saint."

Gao Taotao said with a wooden face: "I am your mother."

"Yes, I have met my mother."

Zhao Xu knew at a glance that the two couples had not yet completely reconciled, so he wanted to leave it alone, but thinking about the emperor's father's kindness just now, he decided to do something.

"oops!"

He covered his forehead with a look of pain suddenly on his face.

"What's going on? Call the doctor!"

Gao Taotao's concern for her children is real, especially her daughters, who are her caring little cotton-padded jackets.

"It's okay." Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "Just now the official ordered me to do something, but I got a headache thinking about how difficult it was to do."

"What's the matter?" Gao Taotao's face turned cold. He felt that the official was really capable and would give him a cold look for a few more days.

Zhao Xu glanced at her secretly and said: "The officials feel that Glass earns too little money and are worried about the expenses in the palace... Mainly worried about you, the saint... So I asked my minister to tell Shen An and tell Glass about It’s crystal...it’s easier to sell it at a higher price..."

Mother! Dad is very interested in you! He is shameless for you.

Aren't you touched by such a husband?

Gao Taotao's eyes were slightly warm, and the familiarity of the old couple returned again, and he couldn't help but look outside.

Outside the door, Zhao Shu frowned slightly, seemingly worried about something.

"The officials are here."

Gao Taotao stood up and went over to greet him.

Zhao Shu came in with a smile, and the couple looked harmonious again.

Zhao Xu cleverly took the opportunity to escape.

"The officials are so considerate of our mother and son. I have wrongly blamed you."

Gao Taotao felt guilty, but Zhao Shu wanted to vomit blood.

It was Shen An and Zhao Xu's evil idea to call glass crystal, but now this idea has become what I said...

From now on, if anyone says that the glass is a lie, a fake crystal, will I be shameless?

That kid... I said he has been so honest recently, but it turns out he is holding something back.

No wonder Shen An said he was evil, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net It’s true!

Zhao Shu felt that his son's temperament was too different from his own, but after a second thought, he asked: "Queen, think about it...what was Dalang's temperament like before?"

"Okay, I was very good when I was a child." In the eyes of a mother, her child is probably the most well-behaved in the world. Of course, this must be based on having servants to help take care of the children. Otherwise, he would be carrying a crying child every day, nothing more than a well-behaved child, he would clearly be the Little Demon Star.

"I also remembered that Dalang was very well-behaved before, so how did he change later?" Zhao Shu was thinking.

"Da Lang hasn't changed!"

Gao Taotao didn't go out much, and he didn't know much about what was going on outside, so he still felt that his son was well-behaved and honest.

Zhao Shu felt that this topic could not be discussed with his wife.

He stood up and walked outside, looking at the sunny sky, and suddenly felt that having such a son might not be such a bad thing.

At least he doesn't have to worry about him being bullied in the future.

Zhang Bianba came quickly and said, "Guan family, Shen'an has started selling glass. Those merchants from other vassals have gone crazy and brought copper coins to block the secret fragrance..."

The scene is huge, Your Majesty!

"It's crystal!"

Zhao Shu remembered this and hurriedly ordered: "Anyone who knows the word glass should be warned that from now on that thing will be crystal."

"yes."

Zhang Baibian had been cold and cold all day, rarely showing his emotions, but now he couldn't help but look up and glanced at Zhao Shu impolitely.

Can officials be so shameless?

Zhao Shu wanted to hit someone, but he said with a straight face: "Hurry up and go!"

Turning around, he couldn't help but sigh; "A father has been tricked by his son. This matter..."
