A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

The official family visited the county prince's mansion in person.

The Runan County Prince's Mansion looks like the Chinese New Year today, with the servants holding their heads high and walking with a breeze.

Zhao Yunrang's children and grandchildren all had red faces and were proud of themselves.

Zhao Yunrang stood at the door. When he saw Zhao Shu coming with his family, he sniffed and asked, "Are my eyes red?"

The old servant took a step forward and took a look, "A little bit."

"Go get ice cubes."

Zhao Yunrang smiled, and the old servant muttered: "You can't tell."

"Your old eyesight is blurry, hurry up."

The old servant went in and grabbed a handful of crushed ice from the ice basin. Zhao Yunrang immediately covered it under his eyes.

"Meet daddy."

Zhao Shu and his wife bowed at a distance, and Zhao Yunrang quickly threw away the half-melted ice and said with a straight face: "Why did you leave the palace?"

Zhao Shu said: "I haven't been here for a while, and there is nothing going on in the palace today."

"That's not good either."

Zhao Yunrang coughed dryly.

"I've seen Weng Weng."

The grandchildren saluted under the leadership of Zhao Xu.

"It's all good."

Zhao Yunrang looked kind and kind-hearted, his grandchildren looked up, and Zhao Qianyu exclaimed: "Weng Weng is crying..."

The Zhao Shu family took a closer look, and sure enough, there were tears under Lao Zhao's eyes.

"Dad, the child is unfilial!"

Zhao Shu took the lead, and the whole family knelt on the ground and cried.

Zhao Yunrang was startled.

He was a little sad earlier and his eyes were red, but he didn't cry!

"Alang, it's ice water."

Only the old servant dared to whisper the truth, and others would probably be silenced.

But Zhao Yunrang's eyes turned red again when he looked at the children and grandchildren of Zhao Shu.

"It's ice water, ice water."

He is explaining, but in many cases, explanation is a cover-up, and cover-up means that it is true.

The children and grandchildren nearby quickly spoke out to persuade each other, and then the family entered the room.

Having too many children and grandchildren is exciting, but in many cases troublesome.

For example, right now, a large family is standing indoors, looking extremely crowded.

"I have nothing to do in the palace. The ministers are very loyal and the food is good..."

Zhao Shu spoke carefully, while Zhao Yunrang listened with a straight face and hummed from time to time.

"Han Qi is domineering, but he can manage things."

"yes."

"Zeng Gongliang is a bit cunning and knows how to hide."

If Zeng Gongliang heard Zhao Yunrang's evaluation of him, he would probably faint in the latrine crying.

Zhao Shu would not listen to what others said, and would even doubt that person's intentions.

But this is his biological father!

"Bao Zheng is a straight man, but he just wants to be famous and can be used."

Zhao Shu nodded, "I have benefited a lot from your unique vision."

"Ouyang Xiu won't say it, he's just messing around."

Zhao Yunrang probably had a lot to say to his son, but in the end he talked about national affairs.

Zhao Shu knew what he meant. He was worried that he would suffer a loss if he didn't recognize people well.

In the eyes of your parents, even if you are eighty or ninety years old, you are still the ignorant child you were back then.

He listened with a smile and missed every word.

"That Fu Bi was okay. He was strong and strong back then! It's just that his bones became softer later on."

"You have to keep an eye on the Yushitai and don't let the prime ministers control you. The Yushitai is the emperor's knife, and the knife is the safest in your own hands. Otherwise... don't bet on the loyalty of your ministers. No one will be loyal all his life. To whom..."

One grandson raised his hand, Zhao Yun nodded, and asked: "Weng Weng, what about Fan Wenzheng? They all say that Fan Wen is the conscience of the Song Dynasty."

"Fan Wenzheng!"

Zhao Yunrang squinted his eyes, probably recalling Fan Zhongyan back then.

"His loyalty was given to the Song Dynasty."

"Isn't that the late emperor?"

"Idiot!" Zhao Yunrang frowned and said, "The Song Dynasty is the Song Dynasty, and the emperor is just a person in the Song Dynasty. Don't you understand?"

"Uh... But Weng Weng, there is a saying in Fan Wenzheng's Yueyang Tower: When you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you worry about your lord."

"Where was he then?"

"Dengzhou."

"He has never even seen the Yueyang Tower, but he wrote a good article. Why worry about his emperor? At that time, the late emperor abolished the New Deal, and Fan Zhongyan was very anxious. He was shouting at Bianliang, do you understand?"

The grandson understood, "Did he say he was worried about the Song Dynasty? Or did he say he missed the late emperor..."

"Both."

Zhao Yunrang sighed: "That person... he only cares about the Song Dynasty. It's a pity that the late emperor couldn't stop those people, so he had to give up."

Then Zhao Yunrang asked about the bank.

"Fortunately, I can make money."

Zhao Shu smiled and said: "That's a good thing that can achieve multiple things with one stone."

Zhao Yunrang nodded and asked, "Have you invested money?"

Well!

Zhao Xu bowed his head. Last time he persuaded Zhao Shu to invest money in shares, but Zhao Shu did not agree.

Zhao Shu was startled, "No."

Zhao Yunrang said angrily: "Shen An's business! It must be a big profit. Zhong Zhen, tell me."

Zhao Xu raised his head, "Weng Weng, Shen An said... In the future, banks will be opened all over the Song Dynasty. They will all be the same. They will attract money and then lend it out. Usury will sweep the world and relieve the suffering of the people."

"How much money can I make?" Zhao Yunrang became impatient.

Zhao Xu glanced at his father and said, "Shen An said...all the shipping companies combined can't make as much as money banks."

Instantly Zhao Shu felt chest tightness and then felt like vomiting.

But the old blood was finally tolerated.

Someone said: "Weng Weng, I'm afraid that's a big lie. These days, most of those people go to Houben Gold and Silver Shop to save money, and they also go there to borrow money. No one is deserted in front of the bank."

Zhao Xu said displeasedly: "That's an illusion."

Shen An said that he was digging a hole, and Zhao Xu naturally believed it.

"Zhong Zhen, you... Weng Weng just said it before, you can't trust just one person."

"The officials would rather trust outsiders than us... Also, they would give all the benefits to that person's sister and son..." This is a common complaint among the children and grandchildren of Lao Zhao, who all feel that they have been underrepresented.

"What's the noise about?"

Zhao Yunrang said angrily: "I'm not dead yet!"

Well!

Under the old man's suppression, they all became honest.

"Why is that bank suppressed?" Zhao Yunrang said a little annoyed: "Shen An is still doing things safely, why is it suppressed?"

Zhao Xu said with a black line on his head: "No one is suppressing him."

"I'm asking about the bank."

Well!

Zhao Xu said: "You wait and see, three days at most."

When he saw Shen An before, he felt very calm and seemed to have nothing to do. Otherwise, how could he have the energy to discipline his son.

"Three days."

Zhao Yunrang frowned and said: "When I look back, all the money in the house will be deposited in the bank, and it belongs to every family."

Although they live together, many things are separated according to the family unit, such as each managing their own income.

After Lao Zhao drove Hexi to the west, the prince's palace fell into pieces.

Trees divide, people divide families, that's how it is in the world.

The two sons looked a little unnatural, and Zhao Yunrang said angrily: "Where is the money?"

"Dad, I didn't go anywhere."

Old Zhao was angry, "It must have been deposited in the enemy's gold and silver shop, you idiot, you beast!"

call out!

The tea cup flew over, and one son was hit. His forehead was red and swollen, and his face was covered with tea.

Zhao Shu had a dark look, but he couldn't persuade him, and he was worried that Zhao Yunrang would be angry, so he winked and Chen Zhongheng hurriedly went outside. Whenever something went wrong, he would call the doctor.

The other son saw Lao Zhao going to look for something and hurriedly confessed: "Dad, I saved half, and the child saved half."

Zhao Yunrang laughed angrily, "Beasts, this is the Zhuge family who studied the Three Kingdoms. They still know how to keep each side, and are so cowardly. What else can I expect you to do? Well, I have never expected you to do anything, Thirteenth Lang. is also like this……"

During the Three Kingdoms period, the Zhuge family was divided into three branches, and Wei, Shu, and Wu each had one branch. It can be said to be a model of not putting eggs in one basket.

Zhao Xu glanced at this uncle and felt extremely happy.

Oh ho!

Weng Weng has spoken. From now on, the officials will have an excuse not to give you real jobs.

The atmosphere in the room immediately became depressing.

"Oh no."

A woman outside exclaimed, and Zhao Yunrang said angrily: "Who is yelling?"

Later, someone came to report, "It was said that the Houben Gold and Silver Shop was robbed..."

"Nonsense! This is Bianliang!"

"Go and ask."

The old servant went there in person and came back and said: "Alang, Shen An went to the bank in the morning, and then the bank issued a notice saying that you can go to the bank to exchange banknotes. Later, the bank was blocked, and baskets of copper coins were carried in. , came out after changing the banknotes, many businessmen... They said that many wealthy businessmen in Bianliang have gone."

"Hahahaha!" Zhao Yunrang couldn't help laughing.

"Later, some people went to the Houben Gold and Silver Shop opposite to withdraw money, one after another..."

"I'm afraid we won't be able to save our family's money."

The woman outside was still crying, and Zhao Yunrang roared: "You deserve it!"

The crying outside became quieter, and then the footsteps faded away, probably because of the rush.

In the room, Zhao Yunrang asked: "How about the banknotes?"

Zhao Shu smiled and said: "Shen An came to me the day before yesterday and said that since the banknotes have been issued for two years, it is time to let go. I agreed, but I didn't expect that he would hold it in until today just to give those enemies a slap in the head. Now many powerful people in Bianliang City will regret it."

"It's been a run. If we don't do it right, we'll lose everything."

Zhao Yunrang couldn't help but laugh, "Then Shen An is indeed very powerful. First he made those people proud and deposited a lot of money, and then suddenly he did this, and he was in such a mess!"

Zhao Shu nodded, "Young people should play it safe. He proposed the bank matter back then and took the lead in the exchange. If something goes wrong, his family will suffer the most."

He looked at his brothers and nephews and said calmly: "This bank was also his suggestion, and all his family's money is stored in it... There is no selfishness in every move, and even... he secretly donated a lot of money and food without anyone knowing. How can I not trust such a minister and respect him? But he is too young to hold a high position, so he can only reward his sister and family..."

Zhao Yunrang nodded, "Even if he breaks his leg, he still has a good reputation."

Children and grandchildren bowed their heads.

As Zhao Shu ascended the throne, they all hoped that this relative would arrange some benefits for them, but Zhao Shu did not see any movement, which was depressing.

Now he just tried it out and was slapped back by Zhao Yunrang.

At this time, someone came in to report, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net "Guan family, just now the eldest of the Xia brothers went into Yulin Lane, knelt outside the Shen family gate, begging Shen An to let go of a way out, Shen An opened the door, let the dog Drive... and then laugh, saying that the New Deal is an unstoppable trend. If he hadn't wanted to keep an enemy and keep the people in the bank alert at all times and not dare to slack off, he could have killed the Xia brothers with a backhand. Wild dogs!”

Instantly, a surge of heroic spirit came over, and Zhao Yunrang's children and grandchildren couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring, while Zhao Shu smiled slightly.

Zhao Yunrang laughed loudly and shouted: "Go and get some food and drinks, I want to get drunk today!"

Zhao Xu lowered his head, hiding the disdain in his eyes.

These uncles and cousins ​​were protected by Weng Weng in the prince's palace. They had long been accustomed to the peaceful life and had not made any progress.

But Shen An's methods are indeed heart-wrenching!

Step by step, even disdainfully waiting for the other party to continue to absorb money, and then give them a blow.

Will you relent when your opponent kneels down to beg for mercy?

Many will relent.

If you are not soft-hearted, you will be accused of being hard-hearted.

But Shen An not only refused to be soft-hearted, but also let the dog drive him away, like a devil.

Who dares to impeach?

——The New Deal is an unstoppable trend!

The Xia brothers are wild dogs. Anyone who dares to impeach is an accomplice of these wild dogs!

The people of Bianliang were lucky to witness this bloodless business war.
