A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

The future crown princess and the queen’s mother came to ask for advice on how to make people gain weight...

Naturally, it was not easy to ask Shen An about this issue, so Yang Zhuoxue came forward.

"My husband said that the most important thing is good health. If you eat normally, have strength, have a rosy complexion, and have no physical discomfort, you are a healthy person and there is no need to make any adjustments."

This is a very correct point of view, but Xiang's mother can't bear it and wants her to gain weight!

So Yang Zhuoxue had to tell her the plan, "Eat more meat, but at the same time eat more vegetables. Cow's milk is best, goat's milk is also OK. Also, don't sit still for a long time. Girls should walk briskly for half an hour in the morning and evening." In excellent health.”

This exercise plan, which can be called a later version, made Xiang Jia happy.

"This was given by Shen An."

Xiang's wife returned home and said happily: "He and the king have a brotherly relationship, so naturally they won't cheat anyone."

She said slyly: "The most important thing is that since he is so kind, it means that our family is safe this time."

Women always think so much, but in Shen An's eyes, even if Xiang was eliminated, he would still have the same attitude if he really wanted to ask about a weight gain plan.

But he was a little worried.

"What if Xiang Shihai eats and drinks a lot and becomes fatter than you in the future?"

Zhao Xu agreed with his plan to gain weight, "What do you know? Plump women are the best. At that time...".

He remembered his first time in a brothel, when she was a plump woman, and everything was so beautiful.

"I have always liked plump women in my life!"

Well, Shen An feels like this guy is an old bird.

Zhao Xu changed the topic, "What has Yuanze been doing these days?"

Wang Yu has lost contact with everyone recently, and only Shen An knows what this guy is doing.

"He's up to something."

…

"I have something to do, so I'm going back first."

In Mangshan Academy, Wang Yu explained some things, and then hurried outside the imperial city.

Later, when I went to the government office, many officials came out.

This is the center of the Song Dynasty, where the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council are located.

As Wang Anshi, who knew Zhigao, he naturally also worked here.

As soon as he came out, he saw his son. There was a smile on his dull face and he quickened his pace.

"What brought you here today?"

The sight of my son coming to pick me up is so eye-catching.

Han Qi said enviously: "Jiefu has a good son!"

Zeng Gongliang nodded in agreement and was a little envious.

Of course Wang Anshi was happy, and the father and son walked slowly along the imperial street.

"Dad, what's going on in the court today?"

Wang Yu asked casually.

As the smartest person in the family, Wang Yu is like a think tank, and Wang Anshi often discusses political affairs with him.

"Today someone asked to establish a crown prince, and the official family was not happy."

"The official family is at its peak in the Spring and Autumn Period. If you establish a prince now, you will inevitably feel depressed. It is too early to do this."

Wang Anshi nodded, feeling that his son's analysis was correct.

In the past few days, Wang Yu asked him about political affairs every day, and the father and son discussed each other's affairs happily.

After talking for a while, Wang Anshi said something casually, his tone was very relaxed, and he probably thought it was a trivial matter.

"The previous memorial written by Yang Jingan, the transshipment envoy of Yizhou Road, said that banknotes are very convenient, and he requested that Jiaozi and iron money be abolished."

Wang Lu's eyes narrowed, but he didn't say a word.

Yizhou Road is the land of Shu. There is a shortage of copper there, so copper coins are not enough for use. But there are always more solutions than difficulties. In the face of difficulties, Shu pioneered the creation of Jiaozi and iron money.

It's nothing more than iron money, but Jiaozi is a recognized banknote, but it has a limited circulation range and can be regarded as a regional currency.

"Dad, what's their reason?"

The father and son were lining up outside a store, ready to buy some food that the two Wus in the family liked.

"It is said that the jiaozi is complicated and the amount is not enough. In addition, the iron money is too heavy and heavy, and everyone in Shu is complaining, so I want to abolish the jiaozi and iron money and use banknotes issued by the government instead."

Wang Anshi didn't think this was a big deal.

Wang Yu's eyes became brighter.

"How many do you want? Hey! How many does this gentleman want?"

It was Wang Yu's turn. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Two."

After returning home, Mrs. Wu saw her father and son coming back all the way, and asked happily: "Why is it such a coincidence today?"

Wang Anshi smiled and said, "Da Lang is going to take me as my husband."

Wu smiled and said, "Da Lang is becoming more and more sensible."

Wang Yu couldn't help but have black lines on his head, "Mom, the children are all married."

I am already married and have a daughter-in-law, how can you still describe me in such a sensible and sensible manner?

Mrs. Wu slapped him and said with a smile: "Even if you are seventy or eighty years old, if my mother is still here, she will still treat you as a child."

She covered her mouth and smiled. Wang Yu had no choice but to go to the kitchen.

Zuo Zhen arranges meals in the kitchen. She doesn't need to do anything, she just needs to supervise.

This is one of the jobs of a daughter-in-law.

"Thanks for your hard work."

When the young couple met, their eyes became more enthusiastic.

According to Shen An, when he first got married, he just did whatever he had time for... and there wasn't enough anyway.

Zuo Zhen said: "I didn't feel any pain from frying quail all day long, but now I just look at it in the kitchen and feel like doing it."

Wang Yu subconsciously took a step back, and then remembered that his wife was talking about cooking.

"Ahem! That's just... from now on... that's all."

When a husband and wife are intimate, their hands and feet will inevitably move. Other couples have nothing to do, but Zuo Zhen is used to doing things and is very strong, so Wang Yu will get hit accidentally.

Wang Yu felt that such a wife with her own harmful attributes was the most suitable for him. The couple secretly flirted with each other and couldn't get enough of each other.

After dinner, the father and son took a walk in the yard.

The wind was blowing a little cold, so they went to the study room later.

Wang Yu went to make tea, and then the two sat and talked.

"Dad, what will the court say about the abolition of Jiaozi and iron money?"

Wang Anshi took a sip of the tea made by his son and said happily: "This matter came a little late, and it will probably be decided tomorrow. However, several ministers have no objections, and they will probably agree tomorrow. He also said that the transfer envoy on Yizhou Road Yang Jingan’s suggestion is good, he is going to be transferred back to Bianliang, and he will probably go to the Privy Council as deputy envoy to the Privy Council.”

If this matter is agreed to, Lao Wang will make plans for Yang Jingan to take office in Beijing.

"Dad, this matter is important!"

There was a look of contempt between Wang Yu's eyebrows that gave Wang Anshi a headache, "Dad, it's just a matter of friendship. How can the iron money suddenly stop? Those people will make a fuss."

Wang Anshi laughed and said: "Yang Jian'an said in his memorial that the people on Yizhou Road were eager to use banknotes as soon as possible. They made a fuss several times about this, saying that if the banknotes did not enter Yizhou Road, the people would rebel... …Ha ha ha ha!"

The rebellion was naturally a joke, but Yang Jingan's move made Zhao Shu and Zaifu happy.

"After the banknotes came out, the government and the Central Government benefited a lot, and the problem of copper shortage was alleviated a lot. Therefore, Yang Jingan's move was greatly praised by officials and prime ministers, who believed that he had made a lot of preparations for this."

The benefits of banknotes to the Song Dynasty are really countless, but Shen An has always suggested to be prudent and prudent, and it was not until this year that he let go, but it is still exchange.

Wang Yu's eyes were slightly cold and he said, "Dad, is Yang Jing'an a gangster?"

"As a father, I don't know this."

"Dad, regarding the coins of the Song Dynasty, we call it finance. There are many discussions in the academy on this matter, and Shen An and I also have many opinions privately."

Wang Anshi asked: "Why, is it inappropriate?"

Wang Yu nodded, "Dad, this is extremely inappropriate!"

"Why?" Wang Anshi said puzzledly: "Banknotes are convenient, and Anbei made them very well at the beginning. For example, if there are banknotes with a face value of 100 yuan, the people like them very much, and even the poor can use them."

Wang Zhuo shook his head slightly and said sarcastically: "Dad, how do the officials and ministers know what is going on? Yizhou Road is already remote, and it is dangerous to get in and out by boat. As the saying goes, if you are young, you will not leave, and if you are old, you will not leave. How remote do you think that place is? In fact, three types of currency are used: jiaozi, copper coins and iron coins. In places like this, people don’t know enough about banknotes. If iron coins are suddenly stopped, I dare to bet. Guaranteed there will be trouble!”

Wang Anshi frowned and said: "Speak carefully. Also, the iron money is too heavy and not valuable. You can't do anything with it when you go out. If you want to buy more expensive things, you have to carry the iron money. If you buy more, you will have to carry it." It has to be pulled by a cart, which is very inconvenient for the people. Yang Jingan said that the people hate this and are eager for paper money!"

Iron coins and copper coins are incomparable, and the ratio between them often changes, with the most being ten to one.

Ten iron coins are equivalent to one copper coin. If you go out to buy gold jewelry, you probably have to carry the iron coins to buy it. If you want to buy a house and all the transactions are done with iron money, then the seller will probably collapse, just like buying a car with coins in future generations.

"Yang Jing'an...Dad, let the child go out."

Wang Yu got up and went out. Wang Anshi shouted: "Where are you going?"

"The child went out to look for someone. He may come back later."

Wang Yu walked quickly all the way to Shen An's house.

It was getting dark now, and Shen An's family was playing in the house.

The iron stove kept the room warm, and a kettle was placed on it, steaming slightly. Taro rolled around on the bed, calling for his brother to play with him from time to time.

Yang Zhuoxue and Guoguo were talking quietly on the side, and in the middle was the edamame in the cradle.

Shen An sat by the stove and took a nap. After someone reported him, he went to the front.

"Did you get kicked out by your wife this late at night?"

When he saw Wang Xu, Chen An made fun of him, but Wang Xu solemnly said: "Brother An Bei, please do me a favor."

Seeing that he was serious, Shen An didn't take him into the study, "What's the matter? Tell me."

"Yang Jingan, the transfer envoy on Yizhou Road, wants information about him, his character, past experiences..."

Wang Yu's eyes were burning, ready to answer Shen An's question.

"Little species!"

But Shen An immediately shouted lowly.

Wen Xiaozhong came out quietly.

Shen An ordered: "You immediately go to the Yizhou Road merchants in Beijing, tell them that it is about a certain person, and ask the Yizhou Road transfer envoy Yang Jingan about his situation, his character, and his reputation among the people. Remember it and tell them to be silent." Please don't let this matter spread."

Wen Xiaozhong nodded and went out, disappearing into the night.

Wang Yu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much."

"I estimate it will take two or three hours."

Shen An said: "How about you go home and wait, and I will give you news tomorrow morning."

Wang Yu shook his head, "It's best to have it tonight."

Shen An squinted slightly and looked at the night sky, "Okay, so...Chen Luo."

"Mr. Lang."

"Go to Wang's house and tell Yuanze's father that he will stay with Yuanze to discuss matters and return home in three hours."

Chen Luo went and later brought news, "I told Wang Langjun to stop drinking."

Shen An and Wang Yu were drinking at the moment and couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

The two drank and chatted slowly, talking about the academy and Bianliang...

Gradually, Wang Yu became a little drunk.

"I don't want to drink anymore!"

"good!"

Shen An asked people to collect the food and wine, and the two of them sat and drank tea.

I sat here until early morning.

"Mr. Lang!"

Shen An was taking a nap. Hearing this, he opened his eyes and heard that Souchong had come in.

Wang Yu leaned on the side and took a nap, but also woke up.

"how?"

Smell the smell of blood on Xiaozhong's body, "Yang Jingan's reputation in the Yizhou Road officialdom is good, but not among the people. He doesn't like to understand the people's sentiments and does things according to his own preferences, but the businessmen know a little about him." Regarding the matter, it is said that this person likes to please."

Flattery is akin to flattering!

Wang Yu asked: "Is there any more?"

"Some people say that he wanted to work in Beijing. To this end, he searched for specialties from Yizhou Road many times and had people send them to the capital. He didn't know who he gave them to, and he sent them frequently."

Wang Yu stood up suddenly and said, "Brother Anbei, thank you very much."

Shen An didn't ask why he was in a hurry to go home now, and ordered: "Xiao Zhong, please work harder and send Yuanze home."

From beginning to end, Shen An never asked him why he wanted to investigate Yang Jingan, and Wang Yu didn't take the initiative to say anything.

This is brother.

Wang Yu hurried home all the way, and Wang Anshi just got up.

"Why are you back now?"

Wang Yu came closer and said: "Dad, if the official family wants Yang Jingan to come to Beijing, you must draft the edict, dad..."

He said with piercing eyes: "Do you believe me?"

Wang Anshi didn't know where he went at night, but he still nodded and said: "You are my son. If I don't believe it, who do you believe?"

Wang Yu smiled and said: "Then the officials asked you to draft an imperial edict today. If Yang Jingan is allowed to return to Beijing to take up a post, you will hand over the prefix!"

Wang Anshi was stunned for a moment.

The prefix means that when Zhao Shu decides on something, he will give a decision. That decision is a sentence or a paragraph. For example, let Yang Jingan return to Beijing to serve as deputy privy envoy. This is the prefix. Wang Anshi and others used this prefix to formulate the edict's purpose.

And handing back the prefix means rejecting Zhao Shu's decision.

This happens, but it's rare.

Once the prefix is ​​returned, Bianliang official circles will be shocked.

…

The third update is here, and there’s more!
