A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

“There is great potential for overseas trade!”

"Nowadays, the navy of the Song Dynasty is invincible. Every time the trade fleet goes to sea, the navy will send warships to follow and protect them. The places they go to are all barbarian lands... Your Majesty, you don't know, those people are holding large pieces of gold. If you don’t know how to use it, you can just replace it with a kitchen knife.”

"It's all a stick! That kind of place, in a word... if you have a lot of money, go there!"

"Prince, please think about it. If you want to join, someone here will make room for you."

Shen An's words moved Lao Zhao's heart.

If others said this, he would have them beaten out, but if Shen An, the God of Wealth of the Song Dynasty, said this, it must be the truth.

This is the role of authority, but this kind of authority cannot be abused. Otherwise, once trust is broken, it will be almost impossible to re-establish the image of authority.

"Do you still need to make room?"

"Yes! I just revealed some news, and many wealthy businessmen came to my door, wanting to go overseas."

Shen An turned into a salesman and used various methods.

At first, he describes a bright prospect, and then when the customer is interested, he casually says that the number of places is limited, our relationship is good, so I will reserve it for you, but you have to hurry up, and if it is late, there is nothing you can do about it.

This was a common promotion tactic in later generations, but now Zhao Yunrang fell into it.

"good!"

When Shen An left the Prince's Mansion, Li Baojiu saw that he looked relaxed and asked, "Is Mr. Lang successful?"

"It's just a small thing, there's no reason why it won't work."

Back at Shen's house, Du Lin was still waiting. When he saw him coming back, he asked nervously: "Shen Longtu, has the prince agreed?"

"Go back and prepare." Shen An said calmly.

"It actually happened?"

Du Lin was so excited that he couldn't help himself.

That's the emperor's biological father!

A certain caravan actually had shares from the emperor's biological father. This must be the first of its kind in the Song Dynasty.

He said gratefully: "Thank you Shen Longtu. This time I go south, I will definitely burn three sticks of incense every day..."

"Farewell, I am not a god."

Du Lin regarded him as a benefactor, so he shed tears of gratitude. But Shen An didn't like some of the habits of this era, such as getting a wooden sign for a benefactor, asking for instructions in the morning and reporting in the evening, and lighting incense, which made Shen An feel a little scared.

"If possible, there should be surprises."

Du Lin didn't take Shen An's words to heart. In his opinion, with the addition of Zhao Yunrang, Wang Zha was already in control. What other surprises were there?

In the palace, Zhao Shu was preparing for dinner.

"Guan family, Shen An went to the prince this afternoon."

"What did you say?"

"He talked about the benefits of overseas trade, and the prince was persuaded by him and prepared to invest money in it."

Zhao Shu covered his forehead, "But the caravan organized by those officials from the Third Division?"

"yes!"

Tsk tsk!

Chen Zhongheng felt that his good gay friend was so courageous that he dared to drag Lao Zhao into it.

He looked at Zhao Shu cautiously, "I'm afraid the official family can really make money."

"Sea trade can certainly make money, but last time more than ten ships were capsized, so some people didn't dare to go. Shen An went to the prince now and tempted him to go to sea. This was because he wanted to use the name of the prince to revive his business. Haimao’s momentum has good intentions.”

Zhao Shu said with satisfaction: "Send some money to the prince, send it in a big way, say it was from me, and let the prince do business."

Later, several large cars came out of the palace and headed to the Prince's Mansion.

Then news came out that the officials gave the county king money and asked him to do business.

Du Lin returned home. He was so happy that the matter was settled, so he asked his wife to prepare food and wine while he got very drunk.

After being nervous for a long time, get drunk and have a good sleep, and you will still be a good man when you wake up the next day.

When Du Lin woke up the next day, all six people were here.

"Don't worry, we have to wait for the money to be sent from the county king, and then we will buy a boat in the name of the county king, otherwise the shipyard will sell us sea-going ships. Then we will go south and collect the goods to be shipped to sea...you guys What's going on here?"

Dulin found that his companions were a little strange.

"you do not know?"

"what do you know?"

Du Lin smiled and said: "I was drunk to death last night and I just woke up."

"Last night the officials sent money to the prince's palace, saying it was for the prince's business."

Du Lin slowly raised his head. The teacup he just picked up seemed to weigh as much as a thousand pounds.

His hand loosened and the teacup fell on the table.

Boom!

He seemed unaware, "This is an official family... The official family actually gives money, and our caravan actually has members of the official family?"

His lips were trembling with excitement.

"Yes! The official family has become a member!"

Everyone was overjoyed, but Du Lin murmured: "Yesterday, Shen Longtu said there was a surprise, but I didn't take it seriously, thinking that the county king's investment would be a huge surprise. If I were surprised, I might not survive. did not expect……"

"Did Shen Longtu persuade the prince?"

Du Lin nodded, "Exactly."

Someone said: "Shen Longtu is true to his word. He is truly a man. I should thank him for that."

"Let's go together."

So the group went to Yulin Lane.

"Since I promised you to wait, I won't just sit back and watch." Shen An smiled at these people and immediately taught them a lesson.

"Trading overseas is not just about doing business, you also have to go see what good places there are overseas for the Song Dynasty. For example, when you go out to sea and see fertile land that no one is cultivating, and you see gold and silver everywhere that no one is exploring, then what are you waiting for? Come back quickly and report, and the court will definitely reward you generously."

"Is there such a place?" Du Lin felt that there should be fertile land, but it was unlikely that there would be gold and silver everywhere.

"Of course." Shen An asked, "Do you know what nugget gold is?"

Everyone shook their heads like children.

Shen An said: "Nugget gold, as the name suggests, is a gold nugget shaped like a dog's head. Most of these gold nuggets appear near gold mines. These are natural gold nuggets. Why do they appear? Because most gold mines are accompanied by water sources. Washed by the water over the years, the golden sand gradually accumulated together, and finally formed a natural gold nugget..."

Everyone's eyes lit up, it was obvious that the allure of gold was infinite.

"The last time the fleet went to sea to trade with the natives, the natives took out gold nuggets in exchange for a kitchen knife."

This is Bang Chui!

Du Lin couldn't help but said happily: "If this is the case, as long as you ask the natives, you can know the location of the gold mine."

"right."

Shen An gradually found some feelings again.

"There is a place with the most gold mines. Do you know how big the nugget of gold there is?"

Shen An recalled the show he watched later, "The largest piece of natural gold weighs three or four adults."

He was satisfied to hear Du Lin and others breathing rapidly.

"Shen Longtu, where is that place?"

"Out of the Song Dynasty, sail to the right all the way, and eventually go to Dashi. On the other hand, if you go straight forward, there will be many small countries. Along the way, there will be a lot of land, and eventually you will encounter a large piece of land. There is a landmass bigger than Song Dynasty."

"There are countless treasures there, such as gold mines, iron mines, and countless others."

Du Lin thought this was an opportunity, "Shen Longtu, how did you know about such a place?"

This question was a bit offensive to Shen An, but he didn't care, and said with a smile: "In those days, the seniors of the Mang Mountain lineage wandered around to explore the end of the world. They went there and left records after they came back."

"Will the world have an end?"

"have."

Shen An smiled and said: "I know, but I'm not going to tell you now. When you come back from the sea, know how to fight the wind and waves, and want to explore the world again, then I will tell you what this world is like." .”

"I would like to be taught!"

The seven people bowed and said goodbye.

After leaving Shen's house, Du Lin said excitedly: "I wish I could go to sea right away and see what Shen Longtu said."

"The same goes for so-and-so."

The seven people went out happily. When they left Yulin Alley, they saw a chamberlain standing there, "But Du Lin and others?"

"Exactly."

The chamberlain nodded, "Du Lin will follow you, others... remember to shut up."

Du Lin was worried, but he breathed a sigh of relief after following the chamberlain all the way into the palace.

He was wondering why the officials summoned him.

When he saw Zhao Shu, he was reading a book.

"I've met the officials."

This was Du Lin's first time to admonish Zhao Shu, so he was a little nervous.

"What did Shen An say?"

Zhao Shu asked it as a matter of course, but Chen Zhongheng remembered that Zhang Baibian had been summoned earlier. Zhao Shu asked about the plans of Shen An, Du Lin and others. Zhang Baibian said that the Shen family had heard that Xiaozhong and Li Baojiu were there, and it would be difficult for spies to find out. information.

In the end, Zhang Ba was kicked out, and the officials just smiled.

Du Lin said exactly what Shen An said.

Chen Zhongheng clearly saw Zhao Shu's body relax, and then said: "Have a good time doing it."

"Yes!" Du Lin did not expect the officials to be so kind and choked up: "I am willing to dedicate all the money I earn to the officials."

"There is no need for this." Zhao Shu said with a smile: "Remember to pay more attention to those places overseas in the future, and report them if you find anything."

"yes."

After Du Lin left, Zhao Shu couldn't wait to say: "Map!"

Chen Zhongheng got the map, and Zhao Shu lay on the desk and looked at it carefully.

"No! Let Dalang come!"

Zhao Xu was called over, and Zhao Shu said angrily: "Did you know that Shen An coaxed you into spending a large sum of money to go to sea trade?"

This is a scam!

Chen Zhongheng laughed secretly, just wanting to see Zhao Xu's reaction.

"Sea trade makes a lot of money!" Zhao Xu said in surprise: "Shen An actually brought Weng Weng in. It can be seen that he is giving him benefits."

Zhao Shu did not pretend to be his son, but said angrily: "Shen An said that someone from the Mang Mountain lineage went to sea and visited a vast continent with many natural gold nuggets..."

"Yes." Zhao Xu didn't expect to ask this. "The Mangshan people are all great scholars who are curious about the world. Some of them traveled around the world, and later went to sea to explore the end of the world. Shen An showed me a copy On the map, start from Quanzhou of the Song Dynasty and go directly to the opposite side. There is a big place with some weird things on it. There are several kinds of beasts with bags on their abdomens..."

"Is there a bag in your abdomen?"

Zhao Shu felt a little weird as he touched his belly, which was developing towards a potbelly.

"There are grasslands everywhere over there, suitable for grazing horses."

"Look, it's right here."

Zhao Xu drew a sketch, and the father and son lowered their heads to study it.

Gao Taotao came outside the door and looked at him with a smile.

"The amount of land here is terrifying, but the land here in Song Dynasty is not enough."

"Is there a big country up there?"

"No, there are just some natives up there. Senior Mangshan recorded a lot of them. Those natives are ignorant and don't understand anything..."

"That's a great place!"

"It's a good place, UU Reading www.uukａnshu.ｎnet It's just that we can't go to the Song Dynasty right now, so we have to set up supply forts along the way."

Zhao Shu raised his head, his eyes bright, "The Song Dynasty... the Liao people used to call us southerners, the Southern Kingdom, but do they dare to do so now? Once the Liao Kingdom is conquered, then... how can it be worse than the Han and Tang Dynasties?"

Zhao Xu looked up, with longing in his eyes, "Not bad."

"What would happen if we could seize such a huge territory overseas?"

Zhao Xu said: "As far as the Han and Tang Dynasties."

Gao Taotao outside couldn't help but be fascinated when he heard this.

"Far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties..."
