Chapter 411

Bianjing, Imperial City, Taiqing Building.

Zhao Ji put down the brush in his hand, and looked at the copybook he had just written with satisfaction.

A man with a fair face but a rather upright appearance looked carefully at him: "Officials have made more progress in calligraphy. Congratulations, congratulations."

With his hands behind his back, Zhao Ji looked at the copybook with a smile: "Yang Jian, tell me, what benefits does my calligraphy have?"

"The old slave is not as good at calligraphy as the officials, but thanks to the care of the officials, the old slave was fortunate to have seen many famous works handed down from generation to generation. The copybooks of Wang Xizhi, Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan, Chu Suiliang and other calligraphers, the old slave looked at Wan Wan It is not as domineering as official calligraphy."

"You..." Zhao Ji nodded the old eunuch in a good mood, while stamping the copybook with a click, he said: "If you want to find me, tell me."

"I don't want to hide from the officials, but I have something important to do." Yang Jian opened a sandalwood box that he brought over, lifted the lid on the vacant edge of the big desk, and took out the two-layer partition and the things on it and placed it on Zhao Ji's table. In front of him: "Officials, this thing is called soap, and this thing is called scented soap. It is specially used for bathing and grooming. It is clean and skin-friendly. After using it, it will leave a long-lasting fragrance and make the skin supple and shiny. It is the East and West Road of Beijing, Yunzhou , Baozheng and Wang Yan of Wangjiazhuang under the administration of Yanggu County dedicated it to the officials. He was so determined that he found this old slave after several rounds."

"I have a heart." After a glance, Zhao Ji didn't pay much attention to it. After stamping several times patiently, he looked at his hand with some ink and ink pad, and looked at the things in front of him: "How to use these two? "

"Officials are like honey locusts. You only need to moisten your hands with water." Responding, Yang Jian asked someone to bring warm water over, helped Zhao Ji tie up his sleeves, and waited for him to clean his hands.

After some busy work, Zhao Ji wiped his hands with a towel, turned it back and forth and stroked his clean hands, and even took a sniff on his nose, a faint smell mixed with medicinal materials, soap base and floral fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose, It was quite pleasant, he nodded in satisfaction.

"This thing is good, what is this called..."

"The official is Wang Yan."

"Oh, this Baozheng named Wang Yan, do you understand?"

Yang Jian nodded: "Official family, that Wang Yan was originally a rich man in Wangjiazhuang. This year, his parents died three years ago, and he has no relatives and friends. He is the only one with such a huge family business. No matter how I thought about it, I came up with this fat and fragrant soap. I have been good at martial arts since I was a child. I heard that martial arts are very good. When I was 15 years old, I passed the exam. He has no career, so he has no intention of taking the imperial examination, but he can be regarded as a character with both civil and military skills.

The officials didn't know that the fat and fragrant soap were extracted from the fat of the pig, and the finished product of a pig was less than twenty.In addition, there are ginseng, velvet antler, ganoderma lucidum, cordyceps and other precious raw medicines. After sharing, the cost of just a bar of soap is not a small sum.It is so precious that once it was launched, it was widely sought after in Jingdong and Hebei Road, especially for gifted scholars, beauties, and high-ranking families.

That Wang Yan knew very well that his merits were shallow, and he knew that in my Great Song Dynasty, the person with the most meritorious deeds was the emperor of my Great Song Dynasty, and it was you, the official family, who could control this thing.I also heard that the officials respect Taoism and like to build landscaping, but they are trapped by money, and they can't bear to exploit the people of Song Dynasty. Without letting the officials be disturbed by a little money, he can practice peacefully and take a step closer to the road, which can be regarded as letting him, as a citizen of the Song Dynasty, share the worries of the emperor and his father, and fulfill his wish of being loyal to the Song Dynasty. "

"It's a good idea." Zhao Ji chuckled: "What is the income of these two?"

"According to what Wang Yan said, there can be more than a dozen or 20 guan at present. When the raw materials are sufficient in the future and the output increases, 60 million guan may not be impossible."

"Oh? There are so many?" Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, then nodded in satisfaction, and said again and again: "Okay, okay, this Wang Yan is really sincere. He has such a heart, but I don't want to accept it for nothing. , Yang Jian, how do you think I should reward him?"

Yang Jian, who was bowing all the time, said: "Thunderstorms and rain dews are the grace of the king. Even if the officials don't reward them, I believe that Wang Yan would not dare to feel resentment in his heart. It all depends on the wishes of the officials."

Zhao Ji was just happy when he came to a wealth of hundreds of thousands of guan, and was able to build a small palace. He pondered: "Although he is good at martial arts, but judging from his status as a wealthy local family, I am afraid that he does not want to be a military officer." As a civil servant, his reputation as a scholar is really reluctant. And he wants to revive his family business. He is the only one in the family and has no heirs, so it is not easy to send him. In this way, making him a Xuanjie captain is considered Now that he has official status, give him the letter I just wrote, and let him do business at home with peace of mind.

In addition, regarding the matter of buying and selling second soap, you only need to send someone to keep an eye on the accounts. In other matters, you should take care of them and give them as much convenience as possible.Wang Yan has this heart, don't hate him, this is my good citizen of Song Dynasty..."

"Old slave obeys the order."

……

"Angel walks slowly."

Wang Yan handed over a few eunuchs with a smile, until he couldn't see the group of people, then turned around and waved to let the group of people disperse, turned around and walked towards the main room of the house with his hands behind his back.

These are all eunuchs sent by Zhao Ji to deliver the decree. Not only did they deliver the decree, but they also brought two carts of rewards.There is the imperial wine that killed Song Jiang, there are silks and satins, a mess of special products from various places, and his two sets of official uniforms.

In addition, there were two eunuchs and two minor officials left behind, and an office was opened in Yanggu County, which was under the Royal Chamberlain, and the immediate boss was Yang Jian.Came over to watch over him, keep an eye on the accounts and stuff.Of course, correspondingly, it will also solve the trouble.It's quite easy to find those two eunuchs for something.Zhang Lihe almost knelt down to the two eunuchs, but Wang Yan pulled him to let the old boy maintain the image of an upright official, so he restrained himself...

The development of the matter is obvious, Zhang Lihe's plan to let him join Cai Jing is too small, he directly licks Zhao Ji.To be honest, what licking Cai Jing has to pay is no different from licking Zhao Ji, and in the end, maybe it was Cai Jing who gave Zhao Ji the head of his royal official as a token of loyalty.Then he has a lot of brains, so he will not lick the real big brother and go find some Cai Taishi.And to a certain extent, he sent money directly to Zhao Ji, which may have reduced the number of people to be harmed, which is considered to be some merit.

This is different from when he was a soldier in Liaodong when he embroidered the spring knife.At that time, he was a general outside, clearly separatist, so he borrowed money to weave the umbrella of Liaodong.Now he is an honest and obedient citizen, he has no power in his hands, so he has to use the tiger's skin as a banner, using Zhao Ji's signboard.In this way, he, a landlord who has no power in his hands and still holds money, can escape the coveted eyes of those in power.No one cares about him, let alone study him, so that he can protect himself wisely and develop with peace of mind.

As for the loss of money, he didn't have any.Although he gave [-]% to Zhao Ji and [-]% to Yang Jian, he only got [-]% of the income.But he purchased the raw materials, he made the things, and he didn't even need to make fake accounts to fool Zhao Ji, Yang Jian and the eunuchs they sent over.After all, it is of no use for him to ask for money, and money is only the equivalent of resources.In this era of nothing, it is obvious that resources are what he needs.

On the one hand, he can arbitrarily buy relevant raw materials and calculate them into the cost of soap making. On the other hand, to a certain extent, he is now an imperial merchant, and he also has a relationship with Yang Jian, Zhao Ji, who is more trustworthy and powerful. A generation of eunuchs.It is also convenient to purchase some copper and iron that are prohibited from trading.

And the relationship with Yang Jian is also very simple, he is not on the same boat as Cai Jing, Tong Guan, etc. After all, Tong Guan is so beautiful and everyone is a eunuch, how could Yang Jian be convinced.Although it is not a thing, although it can be tossed about, it always depends on someone, and someone has to pass the word.Some people's actions are already very big, intimidating and intimidating take turns to fight, he can't do without taking refuge.

In comparison, Yang Jian's side is better.And on the other hand, Yang Jian is more suitable. After all, he is the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In fact, he has considerable power and is an absolute cronies. He is not too afraid of Cai Jing and Tong Guan.

Wang Fusheng looked at the senior official in puzzlement: "Master, what kind of official is this Colonel Xuanjie?"

The senior official answered him with a smile: "A martial arts official of the eighth rank just has a name and no real power. He can get... eighty ranks in about a year."

Seeing that there was no one around, Wang Fusheng complained in a low voice: "Master, this old emperor is too stingy. We gave away hundreds of thousands of coins a year for nothing, and just changed such a useless name?"

"Uncle Fu, change your mind. They could just take the money and give me nothing, but they still gave me a loose official. Anyway, I'm an official, isn't it much better?"

...Wang Fusheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously: "Well, it's much better, we have no choice."

Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "Every workshop should keep an eye on it, don't be caught by the eunuchs who are watching, it is necessary to be courteous and win over more."

"Don't worry, young master."

Back in the big study in the west room of the main room, Pan Jinlian, who had come back a step earlier, was staring at the handwritten manuscript of Zhao Ji spread out on the desk in a daze.

"What do you think?"

Pan Jinlian was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses and bowed gracefully: "Officer, I will compare the emperor's handwriting with the official's handwriting."

"Huh? Tell me."

"I don't even know a few characters. How can I read them? I just think that the emperor's characters are not as good-looking as those of the officials. The emperor's characters feel a bit ostentatious, but not as good as the characters of the officials... natural?"

Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "Let's just talk about it ourselves, don't let outsiders listen to it."

The calligraphy given by Zhao Ji is written in a thousand-character script, and of course it is the thin gold style that high officials liked back then.Pan Jinlian was right, Zhao Ji's handwriting was of course not as good as that of Wang Daguan.After all, it is definitely not the same thing if one has been written for decades and the other for hundreds of years.The main reason is that as he has experienced more, his handwriting has become more and more introverted, and he is not as flamboyant as a beginner. It is what Pan Jinlian said is natural, and it can no longer be true and natural after returning to the basics.

Pan Jinlian rolled her eyes with all kinds of flair: "Of course, my family is illiterate, and it's not that I don't know things."

She has been in Lao Wang's house for more than a month, and she is living happily.Under the good food, people are a little fatter.There are really not so many rules here. Basically, you can do whatever you want. You can take two guards and wander around without restraint. This feels better than ever.

Wang Yan hugged her and sat on the chair: "Cuiping can read, let her teach you and Xiaolan later, it will be a lot less fun if you can't read."

"Don't worry, officials, I will study hard."

This is a woman who is empty inside and only has a skin, but ah, that skin is so damn good... The high official's hand fumbled dishonestly, which made Jin Lian burst into anger: "Oh, official, the sky has not yet come. It’s black. Besides, there’s Tiankui coming to my house, so I can’t…”

Hearing this, the senior officials withdrew their hands and hugged Pan Jinlian, the two chatted nonsense.Nothing else, nothing more than some auspicious words, thinking about future promotions and the like.Wang Yan dealt with it with a smile, and then educated her about what it was like to be an official, and told her not to think too beautifully...

Having said that, he is thinking about ascending the throne in the future, and Jinlian becomes the imperial concubine, and he doesn't know what it will be like...

With the artist's endorsement, the old Wang family transformed itself from a landlord to an imperial merchant, and its development reached another level.

The established development strategy of Daguanren is to go east and north.

Needless to say, he penetrated northward to the east and west roads of Hebei, and the border with the Liao Kingdom. After all, he was bound to destroy the Jin Kingdom that rose later and destroyed the Liao Kingdom.He wants to infiltrate the frontier army step by step and extend his tentacles into the army.

To the east, it starts from Yunzhou where it is located, Qizhou, Zizhou, Qingzhou, Weizhou, Laizhou, and reaches the easternmost Dengzhou.This is what he originally thought, to avoid Liangshan, and only develop along the area in the north near the sea. He wants to control a sea outlet, whether it is doing sea trade, or crossing the sea and going north to Suzhou (now Dalian). Critical.On the other hand, it is also possible to build a factory to discharge sewage, which is directly discharged into the Black Water Ocean, which is later the Yellow Sea.

As for environmental protection, in this day and age, he can do everything he can, and he can't even do it in the industrial age.Again, the environment has never been his consideration.

As for his infiltration method, it is also simple, first inquire about the wealthy households in various places if they have any solid background.If you don't swallow it directly, if you don't accept it, you just follow Ximen Qing. Anyway, there are few good people in this year, so there is a high probability that you can kill well.If the background is enough, then study it again to see if it can be detoured, first slowly study the background, and bypass it.

The main reason is that local wealthy households control the right to speak, and magistrates and magistrates are elected every three years, and they cannot stay.To say that the term of office of an official is extended, for five or six years, he will definitely work with the official first, and then reversely study the local big households.

The only top player under his command, Wu Song, was promoted by him to the command of the Dongping Mansion Xiangbing, and he led [-] infantry.Of course, speaking of mighty, he was just a contractor who didn't make money.

The composition of the Xiang soldiers is very complicated, many of them are unable to survive and make trouble, and are finally incorporated into the Xiang army.They don't need training, they just work.And the work is not light, bridge and road paving, water conservancy projects, city defense fortifications, etc., many of them are their jobs.The treatment is not good, and it is difficult to eat and dress warmly.

That's it, there are still empty pay.Wu Song reported that there were only more than 200 people under him, half the difference.And those more than 200 people are all of very poor physical fitness, without the slightest combat effectiveness.

But Wang Yan didn't say anything, and he couldn't say anything, just let Wu Song do it first.He just wanted the title of a leader. As long as he wanted, Wu Song's subordinates could have five hundred soldiers capable of fighting at any time, and that was enough.And he is still working, and when Wu Song works for a while, he will send him directly to the border town.At that time, it will be the time when the bright and upright have subordinates.

The reason why he didn't get it right in one step is because his relationship hasn't reached there yet. Tong Guan is the military elder brother of Kaifuyi and the third division. So he needs some twists and turns to operate.Of course, he was talking about being an officer. If he was just a big soldier, Wu Song would have gone by himself, so why should he be so busy giving money.

During this period, Pan Jinlian became pregnant as a matter of course.In these years, if there is no male in the family, the hearts of the subordinates cannot be gathered together.Because their interests are tied to the 'Wang family', and the current situation is that Wang Yan is the Wang family.Only with a sound and normal second generation will people believe that they can benefit from following the king and officials, and that after their death, their descendants will also benefit from following the small officials. Fuze's descendants are important...
