My years in the Northern Song Dynasty Guozijian

The scene was awkward for a while, but in the end Shen Shimeng broke the calm and coughed lightly, "Um, homework, homework is really important."

Then he hurriedly said: "I heard Ye Langjun's good name earlier, but when I saw him today, he really is a hero born out of a boy."

"Thank you, thank you." Ye An smiled and cupped his hands.

Master Li stood up not to be outdone, "Where, I still find Brother Ye's way of doing business unbelievable. I came here today just to ask you for advice."

Ye An 囧囧 looked at Li Daguan's gray hair and wrinkled face with enthusiasm, brother...you can be my grandfather...

Adhering to the principle of respecting the elderly, he hastily flattered the other party as well. Fortunately, he asked Jin Fu to show him all the materials of the people present, so that he would not be unable to say something.

It is not clear whether Li Guanren will eat or not, but he is happy on the surface anyway.

After the necessary pleasantries, someone couldn't wait to ask about today's topic.Anyone can see that Ye An must have something important to do this time, otherwise there would be no need to spend a lot of trouble to gather them together.

"It's nothing, it's just that the boy has been here in Bianliang for so long, and he hasn't paid a visit to everyone, so he really feels uneasy. All of you here are seniors. It's no exaggeration to say that if you work hard together, the imperial city will probably shake. "

Everyone loves to hear flattery, let alone from a young hero like Ye An.For a while, even the jealous people looked at him quite well.

Ye An continued: "Because Mrs. Song's restaurant has gained some fame recently, I thought about entertaining everyone here. However, Mr. Yan invited the students downstairs, and the King of Beihai County upstairs invited his colleagues. Even if I am The owner can only vacate this table, and I have wronged everyone."

When everyone heard about Yan Xianggong and Beihai County King, they immediately straightened their backs. These two are the most famous figures in the Song Dynasty. If they can dine at the same place, who cares whether they are crowded or not!Many people have even thought about it in their hearts, whether they should go over and ask for safety later...

Ye An looked at the thoughtful businessmen below, smiled slightly, and clapped his hands to signal for the people outside to serve the dishes.

Of course, Mrs. Song Wu's craftsmanship is outstanding, not to mention that Ye An also specially ordered, carefully prepared, and everyone ate to their heart's content.

Taking a sip of the honey wine, Li Daguan said with emotion: "This restaurant not only serves good food, but also drinks better than other places. No wonder you can earn money, bro."

"Ham, it's just a fluke. At that time, I tasted Mrs. Song's craftsmanship and heard that she wanted to open a shop. I thought it was reliable, so I invested a sum of money. I haven't recovered the cost yet. Master Li, don't worry about it." Me." After learning the lesson from last time, Ye An only took two sips of wine, not daring to drink more.

Officer Li exchanged glances with the people around him, and said, "Based on the popularity of this restaurant, it's only a matter of time before you make a lot of money every day. But bro, aren't you afraid of paying for such a big budget?"

"What are you afraid of!" Ye An put down his wine glass and said impassionedly: "For those of us who are businessmen, everything in the world is a business, which is not a big gamble. If you don't even have the guts, you might as well plan your food in the dirt. "

"That's right!" Shen Shimeng patted the table. He is a proactive person, otherwise he would not have made it from scratch. "What Ye Lang-jun said is exactly right. There are a lot of people doing every business in the capital now. If you don't work hard, you can study it yourself and figure out which round will make you rich."

Seeing someone chime in, Ye An got even more motivated, and talked to the people in the room about what is called industry introversion, and he felt a sense of sympathy for what the merchants said.Yes, the traditional business of food, clothing, housing and transportation is no longer so easy to do in Bianliang.Nowadays, the population of Bianliang City is increasing, and new stores are opening almost every day. If they want to survive this fierce competition, their profits will not be too high.Even an old family like the Li family's income has been decreasing recently, otherwise Master Li would not have the cheek to attend the banquet.

The room was filled with gloom, and someone who did not know sighed heavily, "But now there are these things, what else can I do."

"If the mountain doesn't come, I will go to the mountain." Ye An suddenly said something, breaking the silence of the room, "Since the current business is getting less and less profitable, then let's develop a new industry!"

Shen Shimeng's eyes lit up when he heard it, but he frowned immediately and said, "How can this new deal be so easy to find?"

Seeing everyone in the audience looking at him eagerly, Ye An knew that the matter was half done, and said mysteriously: "Everyone, have you ever heard of the 'Dream Realization Foundation'?"

……

These days, a strange thing happened in Tokyo.

Suddenly, an organization called "Dream Realization Foundation" popped up, inviting people with fantastic ideas from all over the world to participate. The participants may have unique skills or invented some tools.In short, I feel that it is beneficial to people's livelihood and lacks liquidity.In this way, you can apply for registration, and if you are favored by investors, you can sign a contract to cooperate on the spot.Afterwards, you will share shares with him in the business.

At first, the common people thought it was a joke, but when they saw who the host was, they all dropped their jaws in shock.

Shen Yuanwai, Master Li, Boss Feng... It is no exaggeration to say that all the big merchants in the entire capital are here.Everyone's enthusiasm was instantly ignited. People in Bianliang love to watch the excitement. Anyone whose carriage is overturned will stop and watch for a long time. How can we not be excited when encountering such a big event.Especially when news came out that the venue of the Dream Realization Foundation was provided by the government, what does that mean!This is the court's approval!

Ye An looked at Cheng Hui, who was sweating profusely, and said with a smile, "Brother, are you serious? Let the subordinates do such a small thing, why do it yourself?"

"Small matter?!" Cheng Hui, Cheng Hui's round bald head was shining brightly in the sun: "Do you know how many merchants have come here? It is said that even the government has sent people to observe. How can it be a trivial matter? Also, brother, you It’s not true, it’s not that big brother said you, when they were having a banquet, why didn’t you bring me along, fortunately I got the letter, otherwise I might have missed it.”

Ye An smiled sheepishly, he didn't think about making it so big, "Isn't it, I'm afraid it will affect big brother Qingxiu."

Chenghui glared at him, and asked knowingly, why would he fix it when he already owned a brothel!Then go to entertain the guests.

I have to say that Monk Hua's social skills are indeed high, and the whole scene is lively without being noisy.

Ye An, Master Shen, Meng Li, and others were arranged at the first table. Before that, several people went up to talk a few words in a decent manner.When everything was ready, Cheng Hui, the host, thumped the gong, announcing the official start of the meeting and inviting the first partner to appear.

Due to the short preparation time, not many people came, even if we made great efforts to promote it, and even many ordinary people came to join in the fun, to see if they could cheat a sum of money to eat, drink and have fun.Unfortunately, Ye An and the others encountered such a person first.

Looking at the spit-flying man on the stage, Ye An interrupted his conversation with black lines all over his face: "This... Taoist priest, you mean you can exorcise ghosts?"

"That's right, with the guidance of Sanqing, the poor way can kill demons and eliminate demons, making people invulnerable to all kinds of poisons. However, the worship of Sanqing requires a lot, so I went down the mountain to get contaminated with vulgar things."

"Then how can you prove it?" Ye An couldn't help asking, almost laughing out of anger.

Others were skeptical, businessmen were more or less superstitious, the man in front of him looked like a fairy, and he seemed to have a high level of cultivation.

The Taoist seemed to have expected Ye An to ask such a question, and vowed that there was a ghost in the room where everyone was staying, and he could catch it now.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, signaling for him to take a look.

Holding a mahogany sword in his hand, the Taoist priest had a calm face and asked people to close the doors and windows.After making sure that the light in the room was dimmed, he walked to the corner and chanted the mantra.After a while, I saw a little bit of fire flickering, accompanied by howling ghosts and howling wolves, as if there were ghosts floating out from the crack of the door to escape.

All the merchants in the house felt their hairs stand on end, and Mr. Li even took out two pills and swallowed them.Only Ye An, sighed lightly, stood up, grabbed the Taoist priest's sleeve, ignored his struggle, and shook it off a few times, and then, some powder fell from the sleeve.

Shen Shimeng stepped forward to observe carefully, "Is this... phosphorus powder?"

"That's right," Ye An explained, "The will-o'-the-wisp is the phosphorous powder he sprinkled secretly, and the will-o'-the-wisp flutters because the man borrowed the wind from the crack of the door."

The Taoist priest was dismantled and tried to escape with oil on the soles of his feet, but was held down by the guards outside the door and dragged to Kaifeng Mansion to meet the officials.

"Everyone, continue." Ye An sat back as if nothing had happened.

The merchants are a little embarrassed. After so many years, no nurse has yet to wake up.But soon, he was distracted by the people on stage.

It has to be said that the wisdom of the working people is really great. Even in such a short period of time, many capable people have emerged.

There are female masters who are superb in embroidery and can design patterns, and bring a few apprentices of their own, wanting money to open a shop;

After the Taoist priest just now, the merchants were a lot more careful, and after carefully weighing the pros and cons, they made a prudent choice.However, none of the bosses at the first table made a move, perhaps because they looked down on these small fights.

At the end of the period, a teenage boy in Heibuliuqiu walked in. Seeing this scene, he was extremely nervous and introduced himself with a local accent.

Ye An was drowsy at first, but when he heard what he said, he immediately regained his energy.

The boy said that people in his village had invented a new coal mining technology.

The people present were silent. You must know that there is no war in the Song Dynasty now, and the most terrible thing is the "firewood shortage". The common people have no firewood in winter, and even the trees in the imperial mausoleum have been cut down.Coal burns slowly, the temperature is high, and it is even brighter. If it were not for the high labor cost of digging, the country would have greatly developed.

Shen Shimeng first asked: "According to the method you mentioned, how much coal can be dug in a day."

The boy hesitated for a while, and conservatively gave a number.

The merchants gasped and talked a lot.In the end, Shen Shimeng calmed down first, "We have to verify what you said with our own eyes. But let's treat it as real, and we can negotiate the price first." So he offered a staggering price.

Master Li smiled coldly, and then increased the price.The people at the same table were not to be outdone, and the situation gradually spiraled out of control.

At this time, Ye An coughed heavily: "Everyone, why don't we do this? Let's put this matter on hold for now and talk about it later. There are so many people in the Song Dynasty, even in this Bianliang City, there is probably no one I can swallow it alone. Let the people behind finish quickly."

"Since my brother has opened his mouth, I'll give you this face, but I didn't see you bid just now." Master Li narrowed his eyes and tentatively said.

"Damn, I'm too busy with the business at hand, and I'm a country boy who has only been in Kaifeng for a few years. You should do this business." Ye An waved his hands with a wry smile.

All the people here are old foxes, so it's strange to believe his words, but I don't understand why this kid doesn't make money. Could it be that he knows that there is a bigger deal in the future?The merchant's heart trembled, and he quickly cheered up.

But oddly enough, there are some less reliable ones after that, until the last one.

Chenghui hesitated while holding the letter of introduction, "Master Su Songsu, magistrate of Jiangning County, is here."

The people below looked at each other in disbelief, who would have thought that they would be able to attract an official with their small fights?Although he is a small county magistrate, he is also a scholar after all.

After the young and handsome Mr. Su Songsu entered the room, everyone suddenly realized that it was during Ding You's period that he was dressed in plain drafts.

Su Song didn't take it seriously, and walked onto the stage with the strange eyes of others, and began to explain his project.

Following Su Song's narration, everyone's expressions gradually changed from OO to =. =

It's not that Su Song's stuff is bad, to be honest, his design is the most complicated and delicate in the whole meeting today.It was so complicated that no one in the audience could understand it.

What he planned was a large-scale automated astronomical instrument designed by himself, driven by water power and integrated with astronomical observation, astronomical demonstration, and timekeeping—the water transport instrument.

Many scholars in the Song Dynasty had this hobby, and they liked to engage in some strange and obscene techniques, and everyone was not surprised.The problem is, this thing is of no use to ordinary people.

Su Song looked at the silent crowd and sighed inwardly, he just came to try his luck today, as expected, it was not that easy.

Just when the scene was in an embarrassing situation, Ye An gently raised his hand with a calm expression.

"I voted for this project."
