    Along the busy Bianliang Maxing Street, at the west end is the Imperial City.  When the lanterns first come on, the restaurants on both sides of the street have put up colored lanterns, like neon lights in a fairyland, and another sleepless night is coming.  A mule was carrying an official in green robes walking on the road. No one on the passers-by even glanced at him. This is Bianliang, Tokyo. Let alone the green robes, even if the red robes were walking on the street, they would not cause much movement.  This official was less than thirty years old, with high cheekbones and a wide forehead. He looked very rigid.  As he walked, he silently watched the grand scene on the street. The followers who were following him must have gotten used to his temperament, and no one said a word.  After a while, the mules turned into the alley, and the hustle and bustle of Ma Xing Street gradually dissipated, replaced by the sounds of sellers shouting, neighbors chatting, couples fighting and children arguing.  Arriving at a small courtyard deep in the alley, the official got off his mule and entered the courtyard. Before he entered the courtyard, he heard the woman in the backyard scolding through the courtyard door: "What do Zhang's chickens look like? I don't know what they are like."  Don't come out! ? You dare to use other people's bargains, where do you have the courage? Go to the firewood shed and sell your body to Liu Huaya!  "The official sighed slightly, followed the sound to the backyard, and said warmly: "Why do you have to pay attention to small details, don't take it too seriously." In the backyard, a young woman in her early twenties had just sent the maid away. After hearing this,  He didn't even bother to get up to greet him, his thin lips started to move again, and he said like spitting out the skin of melon seeds: "If you are a noble person, why should I care about these odds and ends!? How can a great scholar and upright student support this person?  Home? You are twenty-seven this year. You are not in a hurry at all! There are so many opportunities now, and you don¡¯t even want to visit any of our Wang family relatives.  You are in good shape, and I know that. But no one in Taixue has ever tried to flatter you. Are you really trying to learn Bao Longtu?" Qin Hui stretched out his arms to let the maid change his clothes and said, "Madam, you also said that now.  The current situation in the court is uncertain Zheng Juzhong and Deng Xunwu are in decline, and Grand Master Cai is not suitable for your Wang family. It is more important to establish yourself. I am only twenty-seven years old, and I am still young.  Shi snorted: "Twenty-seven years old is still young? Wang Fu is only thirty-seven years old! Now he is Zuocheng, the minister. Can you be the prime minister in ten years?" Qin Hui said helplessly: "Wang Jiangming is an anomaly. How can you do that?  Comparing with him? But" He was very confident: "Even if you can't be the governor in ten years, you can still have the two-server system." Wang Ming snorted: "Wang Fu is ten years older than you, so it's not a good comparison.  Let¡¯s use someone who is ten years younger than you. Wang Chong from Huayang has been promoted to the position of Xiu Zhi Lang by the Ministry of Civil Affairs.  He is only seventeen this year!" Qin Hui laughed: "That's just a selection. I am a Beijing official" But Wang said: "What's wrong with the selection? That boy is well-known in Shu Middle School, and now he has an official status.  In two or three years, I will be admitted to the imperial examination. What will I be able to do at that time? At your age, you are still on the branch, and others are already at the top." Qin Hui sighed: "Madam, that young man.  I've said it before. Su Huang's nephew is almost a member of the Wang family. He is an extraordinary person. How can we compare him with him?" Then he frowned and said, "The official department has already failed?" Wang said angrily.  He glanced at me and said, "I heard this when I went to the Zheng family to visit. For your future, I have to take care of the house and interact with the noble family members at the same time. If you can come forward earlier, you can avoid me hanging around outside all day long and being disturbed by others."  "You are just talking nonsense." Qin Hui didn't listen, and shook his head and said, "You didn't even say anything when you were a minister? You still have the important position of appeasement at the age of seventeen. This goes against the centuries-old tradition and is a great disservice to the government of this dynasty!"  Qin Hui was wearing a big shirt, but he felt hot all over his body, shaking his fan and his head at the same time: "The court is getting more and more into disgrace, and the future is worrying.  Wang ignored Qin Hui's concerns and continued: "It was exactly what Wang Fu said. On that day, Deng Xunwu criticized Sun Xisou's memorial. When it came to the matter of promoting Wang Chong, he used a sentence that was too young and inappropriate.  However, I didn't want to squeeze Wang Fu out.  Wang Fu is newly promoted and is very popular. His officials are all like crows, who wants to get into bad luck" Wang Fu was appointed as Shangshu Zuocheng, who was also the former minister of political affairs. He was not yet forty. Such a young prime minister was also in the old days.  It was out of character. Master Cai remonstrated with Wang Fu on this ground, but the official took advantage of it, so Deng Xunwu brought it up again, which hit Wang Fu's heart.  When we fight, we don¡¯t even care about the official system. I don¡¯t think this Wang Jiangming will be around for a long time" Qin Hui said with emotion: "If I were an official, I should follow Chen Xiushi's example and refute Wang Fu face to face!  ¡± Chen He and Chen Xiu are honest and upright people. When he was right and right, General Tong Guan led the affairs of the six sides.?Chen He impeached Tong Guan for "pampering his parents and manipulating power". He must not entrust the world to eunuchs and ask the officials to "send Tong Guan's generation to distant places".  The official refused to listen and stood up. Chen He held on to the official's clothes and tore his sleeves.  The official shouted: "It's true that my clothes are broken!" Chen He said: "Your Majesty does not hesitate to break my clothes, how can I not hesitate to break my head to repay Your Majesty? This Cao Cao is benefiting from wealth and honor today, but Your Majesty will be in danger tomorrow!" The official said!  Jia helplessly responded: "If you can do this, why should I worry?" Chen He was finally demoted from the court by Tong Guan, but Qin Hui felt the same righteousness in his heart.  Her husband looked generous, but Mrs. Wang just shook her head and sneered, and asked again: "Why can't Wang Fu last so long? Everyone I have met said that Wang Fu is a good person. Although he was recommended by He Zhizhong and Cai Taishi, he is also stubborn in his actions.  Zhong Shouzheng offended Taishi Cai for this. He was about to be promoted to a great position the year before last, but he was demoted to the household department to handle bad debts. " Qin Hui nodded: "He is also talented. The Bianliang Forbidden Army caused trouble due to lack of pay, but he was the only one.  The confession calmed him down." Then he shook his head again: "But this person got into the officialdom because of Liang Shicheng. Don't look at his upright character now. After Zhou Gong was afraid of the rumors, when Wang Mang was humble and not usurped, he had to take a long-term view   Just talking about this, if one¡¯s ambition can ruin the imperial system, no matter how high one¡¯s position is, one¡¯s ambition will not ruin the world!¡± In Xingwen Village, in the Shuxiang Restaurant opened by Lin Jisheng, Wang Chonghe  Jiang Chong and others were already drunk and their ears were hot.  "The Duke of Zhou is afraid of the rumors. When Wang Mang is humble and has not usurped the throne I am not optimistic about Wang Fu." He drank until the night was dark.  Wang Chong finally felt at peace.  I heard that Wang Fu supported him in getting the official position this time.  My heart was so panicked.  God is really good at joking. First, he almost joined the Wang Gui clan and became related to the Wang family's son-in-law Qin Hui. Then through Fu Yao, he became related to Liang Shicheng and Gao Qiu.  I thought I had offended Deng Xunwu and had nothing to do with Cai Jing, but suddenly Wang Fu was hit!  How could he not avoid the Six Thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty?  ?  Who is Wang Fu!  ?  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mbOUT out the world's treasures and treasures, and together with Tong Guan, they plan to seize Yanyun and scrape 62 million yuan.  He bought several empty cities from the Jin people. To accomplish this, he led Jin envoys directly to Bianliang and actively provided maps for the Jin people to march into the Central Plains.  Later generations still have disputes over the conclusions of Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu and others, but no one has reversed the verdict for Wang Fu.  He is not a treacherous minister. There has never been a treacherous minister since ancient times.  Wang Chong never wanted to get involved with this member of the family, and the joy of promotion had turned into deep worry.  Jiang Chong had another understanding: "Behind Wang Fu is Liang Dage. Shouzheng's previous acquittal was also related to Liang Dage. Shouzheng did not want to be tainted by this generation, which is also the character of a scholar." He was sitting on the sidelines in this matter.  He and Sun Xisou jointly proposed the plan to return to the state, which was also appreciated, and his transfer was confirmed.  Zhongqian is also there.  Because Wang Chong was promoted, he, the Zhizhai Zhizhai of Xingwen Village, moved to Chunzhou in the east and served as Chunzhou inspection.  Considered a promotion.  His face turned red after drinking, and he breathed out alcohol and said, "Is it possible that I have to resign because I am keeping upright!?" Wang Chong sighed: "This is out of order. It will cause criticism from all over the world, so I have to resign no matter what." Jiang Chong became nervous.  , Wang Chong had already told him to start a new business here.  If Wang Chong really wants to resign, there will be no one to take charge of Xingwen Village. Pangan, who has returned to the state, only recognizes Wang Chong now, and the business between the two parties has just taken off. How should it continue?  He enthusiastically advised: "Shouzheng's words are more important to Wang Fu's heart. Speeches are necessary, but they are just gestures. At present, all the ministers in the court are not reliable, and Wang Fu still has the virtuous people.  Once he wins the title, he will most likely part ways with Liang Dage, and this will eliminate the worries of Shouzheng. "Wang Chong really wants to resign. Although resigning from office will have a great impact on the career of Xingwen Village, he still wants to follow Wang Chong.  It was nothing compared to the terrifying prospect of Fu.  After listening to Jiang Chong's words, he thought that he didn't want to be labeled as a dependent eunuch, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with Wang Fu, so he changed his mind.  After Zhou Gong feared the rumors and Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the throne, this Wang Fu's reputation would not be so bad until he declared peace and worshiped the prime minister, and even took the lead in the Song and Jin Dynasties and the alliance. There were still several years left, so what's the hurry Thinking about it this way,  Wang Chong suddenly felt that Wang Fu might not be an ideal thigh. Since he knew when this thigh would rot, he could naturally take precautions in advance.  "Okay, I'll just show off." Wang Chong changed his mind, and Jiang Chong and Zhong Qian smiled in relief.  Zhong Qian was also brought in. Wang Chong himself was too weak. Pulling Jiang Chong in was to set up a line of defense in Bianliang. Pulling Zhong Qian was equivalent to pulling Zhong Youzhi, for the convenience of doing things in Luzhou.  With these two layers of barriers inside and outside, business with Gui Huizhou, especially the dark side business, can be carried out easily.  Not only do you have to pose, but you also have to get close to Wang Fu, which is quite difficult, but Wang Chong already has a case.  When dealing with Wang Fu, you should not be tainted by personal connections, but only by doing business.??He needs to give Wang Fu a proof that Wang Fu is right to support him and that Wang Fu has unique vision.  Wang Chong sighed: "Looks like I have to stay up late again" "Shouzheng, let's talk about Lu'an" Unless Wang Chong really resigns, there will be no changes in the business, Zhong Qian urged impatiently.  Wang Chong didn¡¯t want to get involved with Xingwen Trading Company in this matter, so he established a separate trading company with Zhongjiang and other parties and named it casually.  Both sides of the Zhongjiang River each provided five thousand guan, and Wang Chong used the human method to replenish the capital with 5,000 guan.  He really has no money now. Not only is Xingwen Trading Company empty-handed, but so is Lu'an Trading Company.  But the path is capital. He discovered this path. Only he knows how it works. Moreover, this business is based on Xingwen Village. Xingwen Village has been hollowed out by his Xingwen Trading Company. Without money,  Accounting for one-third of the capital and profit, both of them felt it was reasonable.  Lu'anxing first started the copperware business. There was already copper in Lunan, but there was only a small amount of it. He purchased copper mines and copperware from the Bo people, made them into copperware for the mainland, and spread the copperware business on the surface.  Then Pangan transported copper coins from Gui Laizhou to buy commercial goods, while Xingwen Village was supplied by merchants such as Xingwen Trading Company. The copper coins were converted from Lu'an Bank to iron coins to pay the merchants.  Then melt copper into a vessel.  Copper coins usually weigh about four kilograms, while Song coins weigh about two-thirds of copper.  Lead is about two-ninths, and tin is about one-twelfth [1].  One thousand guans and four tons.  When the road was first opened, Pangan estimated that he could produce about 50,000 to 60,000 guan of copper coins a year, which was equivalent to two thousand mules and horses. In this era, cattle trafficking from Guangxi and Fujian to Jianghuai easily cost three to five thousand.  A cow, this freight volume is very pitiful.  The copper coins arrived at Xingwen Village and were melted into copper utensils.  It is at least twice the profit. Excluding the money paid to the merchants, it is also double the profit. Even if it is banned by the government, it is tens of thousands of dollars a year, which is enough.  This is just the plan of Jiang Chong and Zhong Qian. They dare to join the group not only because of the huge profits, but also because this business is a loophole.  The imperial court indeed prohibited the use of money as a weapon.  But this money was not made by Song Dynasty.  It is true that only iron coins are allowed in Shu, so copper coins were used. ????????????????????? However, Wang Chong has another plan on this matter. The copper coins cast by Pangan seem to be redundant, and the copper can be exported directly.  But the price of blister copper is low, and the benefits are not great.  Moreover, when the Song Dynasty used copper coins, Pang Gan would think of this trick sooner or later.  How about taking the initiative to teach him and then hold the way in and out in your hands.  When there is frequent exchange of goods between the two sides.  With a large inflow of copper coins, Lu'an Bank has the prospect of transforming into a money bank.  "Three families of coppersmiths recruited from Chengdu are on the way. One of them came from the Shaanxi Qian Prison and knows how to cast copper coins. The coppersmiths will give them thirty acres of land and a house in Xingwenzhai. I will use it as the official residence of Xingwenzhai  In the name of the army, he was recruited as a military craftsman, and the money was sent to Linzhou every month, and Pang Gan would treat him like a guest. "Wang Chong explained that this is the benefit of him being in charge of Xingwen Village.  , through the official business of recruiting craftsmen for Xingwen Village, this private matter was handled, but Jiang Chong and Zhong Qian did not have this ability.  The two felt relieved and asked about Xingwen Trading Company and Xingwen Village. Wang Chong asked, "How was the lychee just now?" Jiang Chongdao said: "The sugar-frosted lychee is much worse than the fresh lychee, but we can have this when it is not in season.  "It's also very good. If the price is not too expensive, it should be popular." Zhong Qianzhe said: "The frosted lychees can only be stored for three months, and the honey lychees can be stored for half a year. There are several on the table.  The small clay pots are exactly the two types of lychee preservation methods that Wang Chong experimented with.  To make lychees with sugar syrup, you need to peel off the peel, add sugar water, heat and exhaust, seal it in a clay pot and then boil it. This is lychees with sugar syrup.  But at this time, there was no rubber or tinplate, the clay pot was not very strong, and the sealing gum could not withstand high temperatures, so the shelf life of the syrupy lychees was no more than three months.  "The effect of cans made by another method is better.  This method is also an ancient local method, that is, instead of peeling the skin, it is soaked in lychee honey and sealed for storage. It is fresher than the former. The local Bo people say that it can be hidden until the next year.  It¡¯s a pity that the output of lychee honey is too small, and only the former can be produced on a large scale.  Since there is a difference, it will be sold in two grades.  Frosted lychees are cheaper, while honey lychees are more expensive.  "I'm afraid I won't be able to make money from lychees this year. Do you want us to help with the food in Xingwen Village?"  .  Wang Chong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, we can make money this year. We only eat ordinary things, and there are also selected ones, which are packed in fine porcelain cans. One piece sells for twenty or thirty guang, and now there are hundreds of these top-grade ones."  "Zhong Qian stared: "Such a small jar, only forty or fifty, and it costs twenty or thirty pieces!" Wang Chong said: "This is top quality, not only the lychees, but also the porcelain.  The jars were all custom-made at the Jizhou kilns. I also asked someone to find Su Zhonghu and wrote a poem called Concubine Su Pin's Smile, which was then painted and burned directly on the kiln in Jizhou.Ladies and gentlemen, this batch of lychees is called Su Pinxiao.  Such a jar contains poems, porcelain, and fine lychees, and it only costs 30 pieces. It¡¯s so cheap!  " Although Zhong Qian was shocked, Jiang Chong even gasped: "Shou Zheng, are there any Bianliang businessmen around you who can give you advice?  " Wang Chong said proudly: "I, Wang Chong, have read thousands of books, how can I not know this about merchants?  " Before he told Jiang Chong and the others, Fan Xiaoshi started to build momentum after returning to Chengdu. He spread the news everywhere, saying that in Lunan, you can eat lychees all year round. He also deliberately followed the path of Zhang Jun and Wang Ang.  Fu Xue spread to the homes of officials and nobles in Chengdu. Many Chengdu businessmen have come to Luzhou to inquire about the situation. Seeing the midsummer, the hunger marketing is also booming. It is the time for shipments. Jiang Chong and Zhong Qian said in unison.  : ¡°We can¡¯t be left out!  " Wang Chong put on a businessman's face and said: "Of course it is indispensable, only one piece is free!  If you want more, you have to pay for it, limited to three pieces per person.  "The two of them paid for it without saying a word. This thing is just right to give as a gift. In the Wang family courtyard, Li Yinyue was stroking her belly and panting, while Luo Canniang was holding an elegant porcelain jar and drinking lychee molasses. On the table  There were also several empty jars, and lychee shells were scattered all over the table. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that you can eat lychees now¡± ¡°Eat less!  This is top quality, and if you eat all the little it produces, will you still be able to sell it for money?  " "Don't listen to his nonsense. There are three to five hundred pieces stored in the cellar of the Lychee Garden. You can eat them until you don't want to eat lychees again in your life!  " Luo Canniang wiped her mouth and gave a satisfying burp. (To be continued.
