A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

"I won't go into details about how important the land of Youyan is. Let's just talk about that place... There are many mountains and little cultivated land. Of course, less is only a relative term. Some people say that such a place is not worth farming. This is a big mistake. Very wrong."

In the Third Division, Shen An was talking to a group of businessmen: "Let's talk about the land of Youyan. In the future, the government will invest a lot of money and food in re-planning. How many people are needed in the mine? How many people are needed in the workshop?"

He counted on his fingers: "The steel workshop is estimated to be tens of thousands of people, and then there are the workshops that make various types of tools. Someone just estimated that within five years, the population of Youyan Land will increase by at least two." One hundred thousand.

How much food do 200,000 people need to eat? "

Shen An looked at the merchants and felt that these sticks really didn't understand long-term planning. "At that time, the food will have to be transported from the south. I won't say how much it will cost. There are people in the food business. , you can calculate it yourself.”

Everyone looked at a businessman, who nodded, indicating that the price was indeed not cheap.

"In this way, the advantage of farming in the north comes out and selling it locally. How much trouble can you save?"

The grain merchant was moved.

But he had some doubts, "Mr. Shen, you said that the land of Youyan will have an additional population of 200,000 within five years, but is it true?"

This is the crux of the matter.

People of later generations like to inquire about information when doing business. For example, if they judge that this place will be developed in the future, they will first acquire a piece of land and wait for its value to increase.

There will be countless such methods in the future, but at this moment, businessmen don't have the courage, because they are afraid that there will be no sound if they throw money into it.

This is the consequence of not caring about current affairs.

Shen An sighed, "Two hundred thousand is just a little less."

The businessman said without hesitation: "In this case, Mr. Shen Guogong, you just bid. Without saying anything, you can buy as much as you can. It's nothing to do with anything else. I just believe in you."

"Buy it too!"

Shen's credit is still strong. The key is that he is the richest man in the Song Dynasty. He has repeatedly demonstrated his ability to turn stone into gold in business and has become the idol of many people.

What's more important is that he caught the hearts of these businessmen and knew what they were worried about, so he prescribed the right medicine, which naturally succeeded.

"So, make your bid."

The place instantly became a battlefield, filled with smoke.

Han Jiang outside listened to the increasing quotation inside, and she felt so happy that she told the officials around her: "You should learn from Shen An."

An official smiled bitterly and said, "This trick of Duke Shen works, but it's just not easy to learn. If you ask him to shout... you listen."

"This piece of land is located by the river, and it is easy to water. This good man... Okay, eight thousand three hundred guan, do you have any more... If you miss it, you will never get it again! Okay, this rich man has made a bid, plus How much...five hundred guan, luxury! Do you have any more?"

"This piece of land can be cultivated for two hundred years without worrying about fertilization. The asking price is five thousand guan..."

"Is there any more? Is there any more...the first time...no? The second time, and the last time, when no one bids, this unique piece of fertile land belongs to you, okay, this one bids! "

Everyone couldn't help but shake their heads when they heard Shen An calmly adjusting his emotions.

"too difficult."

Shen An is very skilled in this kind of method. The official from the Third Division also used this trick before, but he couldn't find the feeling. It was dry and he threw himself into the street.

The final auction was over. Shen An came out, glanced at the officials from the Third Division who were gathered outside, and handed the book over, "I haven't had a drink of water yet."

"Go and make tea!" Han Jiang waved his hand, "I want the best. Bring out the good tea I have hidden and give it to Anbei."

He glanced at the auction amount and almost took it.

"Two million nine hundred and seventy thousand dollars!"

"You don't need someone for the second batch of auctions, right?" Shen An thinks this is a game, but he has a lot of things to do recently and has no time.

Han Jiang turned around and glanced at his subordinates. They were all eager to try, but no one came forward.

"Anbei, I'll treat you to a treat later."

Han Jiang wanted to keep Shen An in Sansi at this moment, and she would give him anything.

"There's no need to eat. Prime Minister Han, there's something wrong. The Wuxue Lane is under construction."

Shen An left in a carefree manner without taking away a single cloud.

Han Jiang tilted her head and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "He is saying that I asked the Third Secretary to do the work for him? Hahahaha!"

Turning around, he summoned the officials to discuss the matter and scolded: "Today you have been watching Shen An conduct this auction. Why does no one dare to take over?"

"He can do it, but you can't do it just like a cat? You're a loser! You idiot!"

Still no one responded, Han Jiang was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

Because he knew that what these officials were afraid of was that after he went up, the difference in money from the auction would be too big, and they would really be unable to keep their face.

Han Jiang couldn't help but smile bitterly when she thought of this.

"My lord, Mr. Shen seems to be born with this. He talks clearly and logically, and even quotes from other sources, which makes those businessmen fascinated, but we don't have this calmness."

Some officials finally told the truth.

Everyone began to complain.

"Shen Longtu sometimes talks about rich people, and sometimes he talks about heroes. We can also say these things, but it's just not as natural as what he said."

"Why?" Han Jiang felt that this was not a problem.

"Because..." the official thought for a moment, "I think a certain official is an official, so I call a businessman a local tycoon and a hero. It's embarrassing!"

Throw away your mother!

Han Jiang really wanted to hit someone, but in the end he had no choice but to say: "Go and ask Shen An personally how to solve this matter."

He wanted Shen An to train these officials so that the auction could be preserved as a tradition in the Third Division, which would be a once and for all solution.

Someone seemed to be flying away.

Later he brought Shen An's words.

"Shen Guogong said that farmers are human beings, craftsmen are human beings, warriors are human beings, and merchants are human beings. Our ancestors may have even done these four classes of people. Discrimination comes and goes. Is it interesting?

Besides, everyone has to eat, drink, and have diarrhea, and no one is nobler than anyone else, so what are you talking about? The louder one is, the less promising he is. Why? Because whatever is lacking will be supplemented, only the unpromising ones think of improving themselves by belittling others. "

Han Jiang felt that this was so right, but it was a bit mean, and he swept away many people with one bamboo pole.

The officials were thoughtful, and some raised their hands and said, "Mr. Sir, I would like to give it a try."

More people took the initiative to ask for help, and Han Jiang couldn't help but feel inspired.

There was another auction on the second day. The official who presided over it was obviously much more natural and relaxed. He spoke in an orderly manner and was humorous when it was time to be humorous, making the businessmen laugh endlessly.

The final results came out and were still a little worse than Shen An's, but Han Jiang was already satisfied.

He went to the palace to deliver the results of the auction, and Zhao Shu was quite surprised when he saw it.

"Why are there so many? Are they all hosted by Shen An?"

"It was him in the first game, and after the second game it was people from the Third Division."

Han Jiang was quite proud.

"Oh! It seems that the officials of the Third Division have many talents."

Zhao Shu looked through the booklet and made a rough estimate at UUkanshuwww.uukanshu.net. He found that there was still a lot left over to repay those loans.

"Now Sansi will have a lot more money, great!"

Han Jiang lowered his head and said, "I am ashamed."

Zhao Shu said nonchalantly: "What are you ashamed of? The Song Dynasty now needs construction everywhere and money everywhere. The Third Division is the top priority. You have to be in charge."

"Yes, I will retire."

After Han Jiang left, Zhao Shu said: "Han Jiang looks really ashamed, go and ask."

Chen Zhongheng asked someone to ask the Imperial City Secretary.

Someone from the Imperial City Department will come to explain later.

"The officials of the Third Division did not know how to preside. Later, Prime Minister Han went to ask Duke Shen for advice, and Duke Shen said something..."

After hearing what he said, Zhao Shu nodded and said: "What he said is very good. The officials of the Third Division are also very good. They know their shame and then become brave. If all the officials in the world are like this, then there will be no problem with officialdom."

"Where is Shen An?" Zhao Shu was quite satisfied when he thought of the hero Shen An.

Chen Zhongheng asked someone to ask again.

"The official family, Duke Shen said they were building a road in Wuxue Lane!"

Huh!

Zhao Shu was startled, "He actually went to build the road himself?"

"He said he was punishing students, but he took the lead himself."

"This is punishing myself by the way, what about those students?"

"I'm very grateful."

"I wanted to take a look, but Shen An vowed to build a unique road, so I'm waiting for his road."

Zhao Shu smiled, "But if it's not good, Han Jiang will probably laugh at him, and then invite him to drink, thanking him for teaching the officials of the Third Division a lesson."

When Chen Zhongheng heard this, he felt that the official family might have underestimated Shen An, "The official family, I'm afraid I can't explain Shen An's methods clearly. What if it's good?"

"If it's good!" Zhao Shu thought for a while, then got a headache, "Han Jiang will not be able to get off stage."
