Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 553 Zhao Ying's Big Investment

In Liu Wan's heart, Datong Mansion is dilapidated.

The Kingdom of Jin just captured the emperor of the Liao Kingdom here, and swept away all the things, and used the armor of the captured Iron Forest Army to form the Iron Buddha Tu.

Datong Mansion even has mice running all over the streets, this is Liu Wan's last impression of Datong Mansion.

After that, Jin Guo handed over Datong to Da Song.

Song Dynasty didn't even have the sincerity to send an army. For some unknown reason, he gave up all the Kyushu states outside the mountains on Yunzhong Road to the Jin people.

Not to mention the houses outside the city, even the houses in the city are all empty, without any life.

But when Liu Wan came to Datong Mansion with the defenders of Zhenzhou, she saw a large area of ​​private houses outside the city from a distance.

There are also several tents placed outside the city in a row.

"The depths of the Datong Mansion are now in the hinterland of the Song Dynasty. It is reasonable to say that there is no military affairs. What happened to those tents?" Liu Wan curiously pointed to the tents several miles away and asked Liang Hongyu.

Liang Hongyu is the Mrs. Jingguo in Zhu Lian's mouth. Liang Hongyu, who gave birth to a son, has become a bit rich. She looked at the tent in the distance and said with a smile: "It's just a merchant from the Kelei Department and the Western Regions. Chen Dong opened up on the western front. This year, there are more merchants from the Western Regions than in previous years."

"Why didn't they take the Hexi Corridor instead of the Jing Road?" Liu Wan thought about it a little, and the distance was a bit far away, which was really weird.

Liang Hongyu sighed and said: "If there is a way, they will not detour, who let the Hexi Corridor is now occupied by Xixia people, they are afraid of being robbed."

"The Kelei tribe are those Tiele people from Mobei?" Liu Wan lowered the window curtain and sat still.

Liang Hongyu nodded, and said: "They brought herbs, ginseng, livestock, and fur from Mobei to Datong, and then brought back salt, patent medicine, coal, silk, and tea from Datong. It's ten times less to say the least. As for the profits, it’s too cold for them.”

"Ten times? So many?" Liu Wan looked at the group of tents in surprise, the market was several times bigger than he had imagined.

Liang Hongyu thought for a while, then pointed to the distance and said: "It's actually easy to tell them apart. Look at their clothes, they are roughly divided into black Dada, white Dada and wild Dada. They are too far away from the Central Plains. We I don't know either."

"In addition to the Kelei Department, merchants from Xixia and Western Regions have also arrived in Datong Mansion. It's very interesting. In another day, I will take you for a stroll."

Speaking of this, Liu Wan showed some yearning and shyness on her face, she shook her head and said: "Let's hurry to Yanjing Road, don't let Your Majesty arrive at Yanjing, I haven't arrived yet."

It's not that Liu Wan doesn't want to go to the market to see if there are any rare items, but that she doesn't have any money...

Along the way, the time in the Kingdom of Jin was very short, and the food and clothing were all provided by Wang Yanbu.

But when they arrived at Shangjing Road, Zhao Ding received her according to the etiquette of emperor's concubine, how could he wrong her?
Along the way, Liu Wan really felt that being the emperor's concubine might be a good choice.

But when she came to Datong Mansion, if she went to the market, how could she go shopping because she was too cash-strapped.

"Now that the road from Datong to Fengsheng Prefecture has been repaired, it only takes one day from Datong Mansion to Fengsheng Prefecture." Liang Hongyu comforted Liu Wan with a smile, saving her from worrying about delaying the time.

"What kind of person is the emperor of your Great Song Dynasty?" Liu Wan asked in a daze.

Liang Hongyu shook her head and said, "I haven't seen it either, but I heard from my husband that he is an extremely kind person."

"Oh." Liu Wan nodded. She heard many adjectives along the way.

When she was in the Kingdom of Jin, what she heard most was the insidious and cunning, cruel and senseless fox.

What I heard in Fuyu Mansion was the benefactor who saved Dasong and Hadong Road.

What I heard on Shangjing Road was a hero who had great wisdom and was as tall as the sky.

When she arrived at Datong Mansion, what she heard was that the official family was a benevolent person.

Who is the emperor of Song Dynasty?

But what Liu Wan can be sure of is that at least the Great Song Emperor is a grown man, not a seven-year-old child.

When Liu Wan stayed in Datong Mansion, she met Li Shishi.

To be precise, it was Li Shishi, because she was working for the emperor, she had an audience with the talented people who were newly promoted in the Song Dynasty.

Li Shishi took Cui Kui'er and a lot of textiles, and said, "This is a small thought, and it is a gift for the official family."

"This fox fur collar is specially for Concubine Zhu. These gloves are for Zhang Jieyu. It is said that Zhang Jieyu's hands got cold last year, so it is very good for keeping warm. These two pens are for Zhang Jieyu. For the officials."

"I asked Zhao Duzhi about the rest, got the styles from the palace, asked the officials and several concubines about their sizes, and made clothes for the four seasons."

"There are four sets in total throughout the year, and each set consists of ten ordinary clothes and ten crown clothes. There are three concubines including Miss Liu."

"This is Miss Liu's phoenix coronet. It was used when she entered the palace. When she came from the Kingdom of Jin, she went all the way for refuge, so naturally there was no guard of honor accompanying her."

Li Shishi looked at Liu Wan's timid face with a smile, and said: "What's the matter? The official family is a good man. It's not bad to marry, Concubine Zhu is a person who has no intentions, Zhang Jieyu is also a child, and she is very timid. You don't have to worry about being bullied."

"I'm not worried about this." Liu Wan said hastily.

Liu Wan thought for a long time before saying, "I'm just worried that the Song Dynasty is rich and prosperous. There are no beauties. I've seen any beauties from the official family. I'm afraid they won't look down on a man like me."

Hearing this, Li Shishi smiled and said: "You are worried about this, you underestimate your own face too much."

"I'm jealous of your face and figure even if I'm a woman. The official family is in their prime, and I'm afraid I can't do without you when I see you."

"Be careful of those big officials in the court, and impeach you. I'm afraid that the king's remonstrances such as not going to the court early, and beauty delaying the court affairs, will be piled up on the imperial case of the officials."

Liu Wan said timidly, "Don't make fun of me."

Liu Wan left in a hurry, and the next day she boarded a land boat from Datong Mansion to Fengsheng Prefecture.

Yang Xizhong and Sun Yi built many horse farms in Yunzhong, and dismounted some horses.

Of course, Yunzhong Road will give priority to the use of Yunfeng Line!Of course, the quota for the Yanbian line can only be met as appropriate.

The steady vehicle galloped on the grassland, and the howling wind blew the wind wheel on the top of the vehicle, making bursts of noise.

This is a detour that Li Gang took when he was developing the land flying boat. He wanted to imitate the sails on the ship on the road, and use the wind to increase the load of the land flying boat.

Obviously failed, the wind direction on the ground is uncertain, but the track is fixed, if it is made too high, it is easy to roll over.In the end, it becomes a wind wheel to increase the beauty of the land flying boat.

Liu Wan looked at everything in the land flying boat curiously, sitting in the boat was very stable, without the slightest bump of ordinary cars, and the windows of the car were actually sealed with a kind of transparent crystal.

This big Song Dynasty is rich and extravagant.

She suddenly heard the continuous sound of birds chirping, she moved to the window and watched the herds of horses running past the window.

On the top of the head, like waves and clouds, there are endless flying birds!

It was a black bird that migrated to the south for the winter, and flew back when the northern land became warmer.

And the Yunfeng line happened to pass through a concave mountain pass, and these mysterious birds were engulfed in the thousand-year-old bird path by the mountain, flying over the sky and covering the earth.

The cheering birds are like seeing off Liu Wan.

Everything recovers, and the mysterious bird returns to the north.

The driver and the accompanying soldiers passed through the mountain pass, and after passing through Fengsheng Prefecture, they changed the wheels and headed towards Yanjing from Fengsheng Prefecture.

When Liu Wan saw Yanjing City, she was completely stunned by the magnificent city in front of her eyes.

She is from Yanjing and grew up in Yanjing. Does An Neng know what Yanjing looks like?

But when the big city with a circumference of 72 miles was like a big mountain rushing toward her from afar, she was sure that the city in front of her was the city of Yanjing where she grew up.

The majestic city walls, the horse farms that spread for hundreds of miles, and the cloud-like merchants and peasants coming in and out of the city gates, all these changes are really too big.

"Is this Yanjing?..." Liu Wan watched her car drive into the city in a daze.

However, Zhao Huan arrived in Yanjing earlier than Liu Wan. After all, it took him two days to walk from Bianjing to Yanjing, but Liu Wan made a big detour before arriving in Yanjing.

He took the notebook and said: "I'm still talking! Where did the internal money go? You, Zhao, know it all. When I use the money now, you hold the 3000 million yuan and keep silent, almost missing a big deal. "

Zhao Ying said with an aggrieved face: "Officials, the palace also has to spend money, and if you need money urgently, you have to keep some money as a backup, right? Besides, the officials didn't ask, did they?"

"I can't spend money outside the court. I jumped out and told the officials that we have money inside. The group of people outside the court are all old foxes. The national money seems to be empty, but last year it didn't have a balance of 3000 million? They all stared at us. It’s a little money inside.”

"You're still reasonable, aren't you?" Zhao Huan almost laughed angrily.

He checked his accounts today, only to find that he still has 3000 million yuan in his pocket!
Ding Yuanzhou was short of money in front, Zhao Ying just kept silent and looked at him worrying.

It's also because he never asked Zhao Ying if he still had any money in his internal funds.

"The 3000 million guan of the official family's internal funds can no longer be distributed. If it is distributed again, the minister, who is in the interior and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, will know, so he can't do it." Zhao Ying said with a distressed face.

Zhao Huan looked at the account book and said, "This Jingkang paid 1000 million yuan in April of the second year. What is this for?"

During the Chinese New Year last year, I didn't use my internal funds to do things. Why did I set aside 1000 million yuan all of a sudden?
Zhao Ying wiped his sweat, but he didn't tamper with it.

But he knows that the government has been shrinking the scale of domestic funds, including workshops.

But he still committed crimes against the wind.

"Didn't the Changping Warehouse on Hedong Road borrow 1000 million guan from internal funds? Last year, 1000 to [-] million guan was repaid. I thought about the money and kept it in internal funds."

"Following Li Gongzheng, I invested in the properties of several Feishuo weaving workshops, and some other silk merchants, where I invested some money. There is also Miss Li Shishi's wool workshop."

Zhao Huan followed the catalog index, looked at it for a long time, and said: "How many companies are you here?! Feishuo weaving workshop! 170% shares! [-] seven workshops! A first-class silk merchant in a mansion shop and [-]% shares! Li Shishi's wool workshop , [-]% of the internal funds?!"

He wasted a year of effort, took out the bookstore and bank bank in Neijin, rubbed lips with Li Gang, and even sparred once in the air about what a Mingjun is.

As a result, under his nose, Zhao Ying not only earned the money back, but also secretly built a new property.

Zhao Ying suddenly knelt down and said: "Officials, I can't spend money when the officials have money. This is my duty."

Da Song was not happy to kneel down, Zhao Huan looked at Zhao Ying and sighed and said, "Get up, I didn't say to punish you."

"3000 million guan, that's too much. Your money is half a year's worth of the Song Dynasty's national treasury."

"Let's do this, the internal funds will spend 1000 million guan to build the ships of the Jinkou City Shipping Division first, and specialize in the silver business of the Japanese country. The proceeds will be temporarily returned to the internal funds."

Zhao Huan shook his head, he had always wanted to reduce the internal money, but obviously, both the inner court and the outer court were trying their best to prevent Zhao Huan from doing so.

Zhao Ying also put the matter of investment ahead of Zhao Huan's reduction of internal funds.

"That's great!" Zhao Ying stopped kneeling when she heard that the proceeds were returned to her family.

He rushed out quickly, leaving Zhao Huan stunned.

Do you need to be so happy?
