A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

"... free exchange of banknotes."

"Freedom..." Xia Jin looked at the opposite side, shook his body, and then fell to the ground.

"Brother!"

Xia Qing hurriedly helped him up and said sadly: "That man is despicable and shameless, and he even used official methods."

Xia Jin turned pale and gasped: "He has known it for a long time, he has known it for a long time."

"Brother, what do you know?" Xia Qing was at a loss and wanted to tear down the notice.

Xia Jin laughed miserably: "We use small favors to get people to save money, but there has been no movement from Shen An. Do you remember? At that time, someone said that Shen An was teaching his son to study at home, and he was in chaos all day long. , We didn’t believe it at that time, saying that Guizhou donkey had no skills, but now we see it, do you know what he is waiting for?”

Xia Qing shook his head.

Xia Jin smiled bitterly and said: "He is waiting for those people to save more money and come in, so that he can trap more powerful gentry. He is waiting for us to borrow more money to go out, so that if there is a change, we will be unprepared."

"Brother, you are giving him a thumbs up."

Xia Qing regretted it as soon as she finished speaking.

"idiot!"

Xia Jin scolded: "Do you know how many people want paper money but can't get it? The merchants carry a large amount of copper coins, that is, a child carries the coins through the busy city, and encounters a strong man and loses even the money. And it was transported all the way. Do you know how much copper money costs? So who wants paper money the most? Businessmen!"

Xia Qing was stunned, "But there are many businessmen who save money among us...the powerful people also want banknotes, right?"

"The powerful will hold back, but the businessmen are only interested in profit... Our difficulty is coming!"

Xia Jin gasped.

In just a quarter of an hour, someone came in from outside.

"I've met Shopkeeper Xia."

The visitor was a businessman who was familiar with the Xia brothers.

At this moment, this person was smiling and said, "There is something going on at home, and I am short of money. I would like to ask you two to make it easier for me. I want to withdraw money. When I have nothing to do at home, I will naturally save it."

"You!" Xia Qing said angrily: "You are so unjust for your own benefit!"

The businessman said with a cold face: "It was agreed at the beginning. It was written in black and white, and deposits and withdrawals are free. How come, can I deposit or withdraw? I have to go to Kaifeng Mansion today to ask."

In an instant, the smile turned into ice shards, and Xia Qing woke up from the cold.

"Yes, there is no friendship in business, only money is friendship. But I was wrong."

Xia Qing said calmly: "Here, take him to get the money."

The businessman handed over his hand and said, "What comes and goes, this is business, hahahaha!"

Later he went out with two large carts of copper coins.

"He went to the bank opposite, smiling..."

Someone went to inquire about the news. When he came back, he looked very ugly. "He smiled very flatteringly and said a lot of good things about Shen An."

"When he came the day before yesterday, he mentioned Shen An's disdain. But today he turned into a dog, wagging his tail at Shen An and begging for mercy. He only asked Shen An to give him a bone."

Xia Qing cursed angrily: "That's a dog, a mangy dog!"

"Stop scolding."

Xia Jin took a sip of tea and felt that the back of his head where he fell was more and more painful, as if a big bump had formed.

"Go, send people to the houses of those powerful people and tell them that a certain person wants money... Without money, the Hocapital Gold and Silver Shop will not be able to cope with this run."

"good!"

Xia Qing went out with a ruthless expression.

Xia Jin leaned back on the chair, with a sinister look in his eyes, "Shen An is so ruthless, and his methods are so ruthless. He is indeed the richest man in the Song Dynasty, and there is nothing he can do about it. But...those people will not be captured without mercy."

The boy waiting on him smiled and said, "Lang Jun is taking his time. If Shen An knew that his efforts were in vain, he would definitely vomit blood."

Xia Jin looked at him with a strange expression.

The boy thought he wanted something, so he stepped forward to ask questions.

puff!

The sky is filled with blood.

The boy's face was sprayed with blood, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and then exclaimed: "Here comes someone!"

There was a panic here, but on the opposite side, the businessmen were like wolves that smelled the smell of blood, swarming in and bursting the door of Da Song Bank.

All this seems to be ebbing and flowing, and the culprit has already arrived at the county prince's palace.

Zhao Xu is already here.

"Weng Weng is not in good spirits."

Zhao Xu was a little worried.

As the emperor's biological father, it is a miracle that Zhao Yunrang is still alive in the world, and he is not an emperor.

Some people say it's time for this guy to go.

Go early and go early.

It can save the official family a lot of trouble.

Otherwise, there will still be disputes after he dies.

Amid these vicious speculations, Lao Zhao is getting younger and younger.

"What disease?"

"Not sick."

Zhao Xu looked sad, "The doctor said he was afraid he was old."

As people age, their bones will shrink, and the formerly strong man will gradually become rickety and dwarfed...

Then the expression will be indifferent, waiting for the moment of life and death to come, maybe panic, but there is nothing to do.

This is how the deceased is like a man, never giving up day and night.

After entering, Shen An felt at first glance that Zhao Yunrang was old.

But he felt that Zhao Yunrang seemed to have changed nothing.

His beard and hair are still as gray as ever, and there are still the same wrinkles on his face.

He sat on the couch, holding a cup of tea in his hand and drinking it slowly. After hearing the footsteps, he slowly raised his head, with a hint of joy in the corners of his eyes, "Here he comes."

"yes."

Shen An saluted and sat down at the bottom.

Zhao Yunrang put down the tea cup and looked at Zhao Xu, "Zhong Zhen, okay today?"

Zhao Xu leaned forward and said, "Yes. The homework is done."

"good."

Zhao Yunrang smiled and asked, "Are those gentlemen giving you a hard time?"

Zhao Xu shook his head, "The officials have spoken, but they don't dare now."

"That's good."

Zhao Yunrang's brows became more kind, "How delicious is it to eat in the palace?"

"Fortunately, if it doesn't taste good, just add some sauce yourself."

Zhao Xu's answer was very standard.

Shen An was looking at Zhao Yunrang.

Time flies, and the once roaring prince now looks a little desolate in his twilight years, which makes people sigh.

Zhao Yunrang asked again: "How is the official family doing lately?"

Zhao Xu said: "The official family has been doing well recently and is in good spirits."

"Does your meal taste good? Do you still have insomnia at night?"

"It's okay to eat, but tonight..."

Whether Zhao Shu suffered from insomnia or not, even Zhao Xu after leaving the cabinet didn’t know!

"Yeah, you don't know."

Zhao Yunrang said with some regret: "That's all, you..."

He looked at Zhao Xu carefully, his brows stretched, "I need to eat more, I look like I'm losing weight."

Well!

Zhao Xu nodded in agreement.

"I know you have a lot to do, so go ahead."

Zhao Yunrang smiled and was very kind.

Zhao Xu and Shen An resigned.

Zhao Yunrang slowly lay down on the couch, Asu still slowly scratched his back, and the old servant stood beside him and took a nap...

There was no wind in the room, and the smoke column on the incense burner in the corner was straight, as if solidified.

"I miss Thirteenth Lang...I wonder if anyone bullied him, and he will become angry again...I am even more afraid that he will go crazy..."

The old servant was still dozing.

"And Zhong Zhen. Children are afraid of being bullied by those ministers."

"They...when can they come back to have a meal with me..."

…

After leaving the Prince's Mansion, Zhao Xu said with some confusion: "Weng Weng somehow... suddenly fell in love with physiognomy. He read those books every day and talked about what can prolong life."

"That's what you wanted to think about in that book?"

"Yes, I want to see what Weng Weng is thinking."

"Why!"

Shen An stood outside the gate and suddenly felt pitiful for Lao Zhao.

"The officials are also worried about Weng Weng, so I come here often these days."

"But Weng Weng is just asking, is life in the palace good?" Zhao Xu said with a smile, "My father is an official and I am a prince, how can it be bad?"

His smile gradually disappeared under Shen An's gaze, "What? Is it inappropriate?"

"Of course it's not appropriate." Shen An said angrily: "In the eyes of parents, even if a child is **10 years old, he is still a child in their eyes, and he is still a child who needs their care. Do you understand?"

"Can't you?" Zhao Xu thought this statement was too ridiculous.

"My father is an emperor now, or is he still a child?"

"Stupid!"

Shen An wanted to slap him, but gave up after thinking about it.

"Just like Guoguo, she is getting older now, but in someone's eyes, she is still the child who was carried to Bianliang by someone. You don't have children, and the official family is an emperor, so you don't have a deep understanding of this. No...go ask the Queen Mother."

"good."

Zhao Xu went all the way to the palace to see Empress Dowager Cao.

Empress Dowager Cao was still weaving. The sound of the loom sounded boring and boring, and Zhao Xu thought it was hypnotic.

"Mother, Shen An said that even if the children are ten years old, in the eyes of their parents, they are still the same children and need their care, is that right?"

Empress Dowager Cao was startled, and then said: "The officials in the palace are the emperor, and your mother is the queen. Without such thoughts, under the power... the family affection will naturally be much less. But you, Weng Weng, are just the king of the county. He has been strong all his life. , but he is the same as his old self when he is old.”

What does it mean?

Young Zhao Xu didn't know.

"Shen An is a smart person." Empress Dowager Cao said quietly: "I have a younger brother. His hair is gray, but I still always deal with him or scold him. But privately, I am worried that he is not in good health. Or maybe I was bullied outside... I would never stop, scratching my heart and lungs, hoping that he would come often, and then look at him and ask him if he was doing well..."

Zhao Xu was already shocked. UU Reading www. ukanshu.net

Did our parents actually think this way?

He recalled his grandfather's words and deeds during this period and couldn't help crying.

"You understand." Empress Dowager Cao saw him crying and said, "The king misses you and his son outside the palace, but you can't appear in front of him often... Especially the official family, the king misses him the most. .”

Zhao Xu kowtowed, stood up and went out.

Queen Mother Cao smiled and said, "He is a good boy."

Then she stroked the loom and murmured: "I don't know what Dalang has been busy with recently, but he didn't even come to see him..."

Zhao Xu went all the way to see his father and cried and said what Shen An and Queen Mother Cao said.

Zhao Shu couldn't help but was stunned, and then said with tears: "Dad has been worried about this since I entered the palace, but I was obsessed with power and forgot that he was eagerly waiting for me outside the palace. What an unfilial son!"

He stood up and said, "Get your horses ready and leave the palace."

Chen Zhongheng looked at the box of memorials and asked, "Officials, what should I do with those memorials?"

"Leave it to the prime ministers."

"Uh... what about lunch?"

"I'm outside the palace today, so don't worry about it."

"But the prime ministers and assistants asked to see you earlier..."

"No time!"

The officials don't care about anything?

…

What, it’s the middle of the month! Asking for a monthly ticket.
