Song Beiyun

"You...you one or two!" Ding Guogong was so angry that his eyes were red, he gasped for breath: "Go, go! Go all!"

After speaking, he slammed the door and left, leaving only the siblings staring at each other.

"You have a slap mark on your face." Zuo Rou looked back at Zuo Fang: "Hahahahaha..."

"You're still laughing!" Zuo Rou covered her face, "Be a human being."

Zuo Rou walked back and forth with her arms folded: "Father is furious, what did you say just now?"

"I said I don't want to be the son of Duke Ding for the rest of my life, I want to be Zuo Fang."

"You're so daring." Zuo Rou laughed again: "A dog dares to say anything."

"Why do you think Daddy never hits you." Zuo Fang became sour again: "If I talk back even a little bit, I will be beaten."

"You always think I'm stupid, but I'm actually very smart." Zuo Rou snorted twice: "There is nothing in the world that I can't do!"

"Hey, that's something my brother-in-law can't do, what does it have to do with you?"

Zuo Rou spread her hands: "Then ask your brother-in-law if he dares not listen to me."

Chapter 631: On November 11, Five Years, the First Business Meeting of 18 Countries in the Western Regions

The first year of Shunde, October.

Among the 32 countries in the Western Regions, envoys from 21 countries gathered in Chang'an, but the atmosphere was surprisingly good, with less tension and more peace and wealth.

Song Beiyun asked Wannian Hou of the Liao Kingdom, that is, the prince of Runan borrowed the palace, and the business meeting hosted by the three kingdoms of Song, Liao and Mongolia was officially held.

This is a grand meeting. Although Song Beiyun's affairs are continuous, he still pays close attention to this business meeting.

After the envoys from various countries entered the Wannian Palace and took their seats in the side hall, Song Beiyun, as the initiator of the meeting, read out the rules of the meeting.

The conference charter clearly states that this conference will focus on the economic and trade negotiations between the Song, Liao, and Mongolian countries and the 32 countries in the Western Regions in the new year. Based on the principles of peace and mutual benefit, this meeting will become an important event for the entire Northwest and even the entire Northwest in the next ten years. New rules of the game in the Western Regions.

Song Beiyun took his seat after reading the articles of association, and the envoys of the Liao Kingdom made speeches, followed by the envoys of the Golden Horde and the 21 countries of the Western Regions, including Xixia, who took turns to speak at the meeting.

The content of the speech is mainly to expound their own needs, expectations for future development and prospects for the entire western region.

Of course, in addition to the talks, Song and Liao jointly organized trade fairs for the Western Regions and the Golden Horde.

This is the first time that all the countries are very serious about the preparations, even those countries that once held hostility to the Song Dynasty, as long as they receive the invitation, they will spare no effort to show themselves.

Make money, not shabby.

The exhibition is open to the whole people, it can be wholesale or retail, and it can be for private or public.For the people hiding in the cat winter, this is no different from the Chinese New Year. After all, the countries of the Western Regions have not appeared in Chang'an on such a large scale for many years because of the horizontal ridge of Xixia.

Because every country presents its best things on the East Market, today's East Market can be said to be very lively.

Dairy products and meat products from the prairie, leather and medicinal materials from Xixia, brewed products and handmade products from the Liao Kingdom, ironware and canned food from the Song Dynasty, and various fine products from the Western Regions are all displayed. And many businessmen were bargaining there, and the prosperous appearance made many people who had experienced wars burst into tears.

Today, the students of Chang'an Foreign Affairs College come out in full force, because the biggest problem in business is communication, and they will naturally be of great use as people who are proficient in multiple languages.

The little princess of the prairie was placed in the booth of the Golden Horde early today. She has been busy since the morning, and finally found some free time to rest.

During the break, the owner of the stall handed her a lot of food from her hometown, and praised her for her excellent Chinese, which brought them a lot of business.

Although the little princess is very tired, she is actually very energetic. She realized how backward her hometown is after seeing the prosperity of Chang'an. Now, just in time for the meeting, she naturally wants to help her hometown out of poverty Hunger, even if she knows that she doesn't have much ability, but if she can do more, she should do more.

This is at least much more valuable than being a rice bug by her father's side. After all, she can speak Chinese well. After intensive training, many people can't tell whether she is a Han Chinese or a grasslander.

"Is this made of milk?" A businessman with a big belly stepped forward and picked up a piece of milk cake and put it in his mouth: "Why is it sour and astringent?"

The little princess got up halfway through the meal, and immediately got up and began to explain the production principles of these things to others.

As for why it is sour and astringent, it is actually that there is no added sugar. If you like it, you can try the sugared milk cake, milk tea and oil tea.

When it comes to business, it is naturally impossible to negotiate successfully every deal. The characteristic of the prairie people is perseverance and most of the prairie people are actually simple. those customers.

And most people in the Central Plains have a good face, how can they ask for things out of thin air?So everyone will buy some to try at home more or less, and it is a novelty to eat even if it is not expensive.

Of course, it’s not like the grasslands. Everyone here is working hard to make a living. After all, no matter what nationality the ordinary people are, no one likes war. As long as there are normal ways to live better, what they show is also true. It's not what it looks like in the stereotyped image.

Words such as enthusiasm, simplicity, and grandeur are vividly reflected in these "foreigners", which also surprised the Han people, because for these people who have never been in contact with them, their concept of aliens is still barbaric, primitive, bloodthirsty.

In order to attract customers, these aliens who were once brave and good at fighting suddenly became good at singing and dancing. Everyone has a smile on their faces. A loud and clear voice.

At the end of the day, the little princess helped the stalls in the prairie to buy urgently needed items such as iron pots, refined salt, grains, and medicines with the money they got from selling things.

What's more, such as iron pots and iron tools, it is impossible to buy things during the war.

"Only by making people of all nationalities feel the benefits of peace can we have peace." Song Beiyun is delivering a speech at the moment, and the first day of negotiations has come to an end: "The reopening of the Silk Road is the next ten, 20, or even 50 years. The highlight of the year, getting rid of hunger and war is the main theme of future development. Replace swords and guns with songs and dances, replace tombs with fertile fields, and replace crying with laughter. I believe that the envoys present here, who can come here, have a vision of peace and prosperity in their hearts. .”

After all, the translators from various countries in the conference hall began to pass on the content of Song Beiyun's conversation to the envoys of their countries, and after a while, the entire conference hall burst into applause.

At this time, the Prince of Runan of the Liao Kingdom hurriedly took over the village, got up and said: "All envoys, by the order of His Majesty the Emperor of Liao, we will host a banquet in the Wannian Palace later today to entertain all the envoys. .”

After sending the envoys to rest, Prince Runan's son, Wannianhou, walked up to Song Beiyun who was sorting out the materials and whispered, "Brother-in-law..."

"There is nothing to be courteous to. It's either adultery or robbery. You are called brother-in-law suddenly today because you are usually called Mr. Song. There is something wrong with you." Xiao Song slightly raised his eyelids and glanced at him: "Tell me, what's the matter."

"It's like this... I have a batch of porcelain, can you see if you can help sell some this time?"

"From Ru Kiln?"

"hold head high……"

"You can discuss this by yourself. Ru Kiln's porcelain is not worrying about selling."

"Oh...brother-in-law, don't you know that Changnan porcelain has come into being over there. They don't know where to get the glaze, and they fired the blue and white that those white hats like so much. I can't do it with sky blue. Prince Runan scratched his head and scratched his head: "Help me...Brother-in-law, my business is about to fall apart. I stole money from the family to run it. If it really ends, my father will kill me, brother-in-law!"

"Okay, it's really disgusting." Song Beiyun continued to lower his head to sort out the information: "You have taken the wrong path of competition. Why do you have to compete? You can't beat each other to suppress the market."

"How about that?"

"If you can't make a big deal, go for the fine and small pieces." Song Beiyun paused the information on the table and put it in the leather briefcase: "You can create a brand that is used by the royal family and exclusive to the world. When the time comes, you will have six months with your sister Four points, things are more expensive."

"Used by the royal family... can this be used indiscriminately?"

"As long as you give your sister enough money, she will do it even if you ask her to sign this porcelain for you." After finishing speaking, Xiao Song raised his head and looked at the sky: "It's getting late, let's go to dinner, there is a big event tomorrow .”

"That's great! Slow down, brother-in-law, be careful not to fall!"

And the highlight that Song Beiyun mentioned was actually his core secret, which, apart from a few senior engineers in the workshop, only Qinglongyuan burned it after reading it.

That is the "potassium salt mine" in the Western Regions. This thing is a material for making potash fertilizers, and the birth condition of the potash salt mine is first of all the need for a saltwater lake, and it is a saltwater lake that is about to dry up.

Freshwater lakes are easy to say, there are ten relatively large saltwater lakes, eight of which are on the plateau and two are in the Western Regions, and none of them have yet dried up.And the potassium salt mine that is going to dry up can only be the Laolan Sea in the territory of Loulan, which has already perished.

Of course, this prison Lan Hai has a more famous name called Lop Nur.

Potassium mines in Lop Nur are valued at tens of billions. Even after the founding of New China, the reserves have not been fully proven, mainly because of the harsh geological conditions at that time, the overall desertification, high mining risks, and high exploration risks.

But it's different now. Song Beiyun once asked someone to explore Lop Nur. The current Lop Nur has not turned into a desert like that. Most areas can still be explored and excavated.

Lop Nur has been dry for about 400 years, so it can be inferred that the deposited salt deposits should be 50 to [-] meters away from the ground.

It is relatively less difficult to excavate in areas that have not yet completely desertified, and Song Beiyun has already made a plan that green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains. Since it is difficult for people to fight against the natural climate, then find a way to live in harmony .

The reason why he convened this business meeting was not because of the cowhide and sheepskin, but because of the nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers that could feed the next [-] million people.

As long as chemical fertilizers can be mass-produced, the fucking little glaciers and the fucking natural disasters are all bullshit.If the yield per mu is less than ten times and five times, what famine is there to fear?

And not only food, but other economic crops can also be widely planted. No one grows food in large areas of wasteland, no one grows fruit trees in large areas of barren hills, and there is also breeding, animal husbandry, etc. There is more food, more fruits, pigs and cattle. There are naturally more sheep, chicken, duck and fish.

Everyone has enough to eat and has better expectations. Naturally, no one wants to fight. The primary and secondary industries are always the roots of a country. Losing primary and secondary industries is a tree with broken roots, and it will not live long. of.

From Song Beiyun’s point of view, the reason why the world’s population began to grow wildly after 1940 is actually because chemistry and applied chemistry have made great progress. The modern medicine, agricultural science, and petroleum industry derived from chemistry absolutely guarantee the survival of human beings. The only way.

Of course, this is because he has studied chemistry himself, and he puts chemistry first. In fact, he knows better than anyone else that football is not played alone.

When Xiao Song went to the banquet, the little princess of the prairie was sitting in a tent outside the city with her compatriots in the prairie, eating barbecue and singing.

Although Da Song has provided them with housing, for these ordinary people on the prairie, they are more used to living in tents, so Xiao Song, in order to respect the customs of various ethnic groups, especially during the [-] days of the fair An area outside the city was set aside for them to live in, and the only requirement was to keep their poop in the public toilet.

They were not used to this request before, and it was the little princess who explained the reason why they did this. After all, she was a witness to the terrible plague and witnessed how terrible the disease and death are.

"Naji, why don't you eat more." The little princess held the mutton bone and asked the person next to her, "Are you full with this little?"

The girl named Naji was about the same age as the little princess but she was already a mother. She looked at the little princess who was still like a child and said with a smile: "It's not good to eat anymore. How can there be meat to eat on weekdays? This time I sold a lot of things to eat, and if I eat more, what should I do next year?"

Hearing her words, the little princess felt a twinge in her heart: "But...but...but next year, can't we sell it again?"

"What if there is another war? I don't like war." Najib shook his head and sighed, "My father died on the battlefield. If it wasn't for mines, I would have starved to death."

"There will definitely be no war." The little princess said secretly, then twisted a handful of salt and sprinkled it on the meat, and took a hard bite.

The moonlight is like water, and the city of Chang'an is still bustling. Many people from other countries visit the night market here, eat the snacks here, and lament that peace is not easy.

However, Song Beiyun was helped out of the carriage, squatting beside the stone lion at the entrance of the Princess Mansion, and vomited badly.

Those prairie dogs are really good at drinking!

Song Beiyun's consciousness is still clear, but his body is no longer in control. Who can resist the strong distilled wine, those bastards' eyes are shining and they just pick up the bowl...

"Help……"

Song Beiyun sat down on the ground, and then shouted. The person who escorted him saw him, and hurriedly stepped forward and cried, "Master Song, are you alright, Master Song?"

The commotion outside disturbed the people in the house. The guard opened the door and took a look. His legs were so frightened that his legs went limp. He just felt his mind go blank, thinking that Song Beiyun had been assassinated...

Jin Ling'er hurried out after receiving the notification, followed by Biluo and Qiaoqiao who came in a hurry, when they saw Song Beiyun who was crawling towards the door, they all heaved a sigh of relief, and saw off the guards and that The reporter said: "You go back first, I will take care of it."

Calling the guards away, Jin Ling'er dragged Song Beiyun into the room, Qiaoqiao hurriedly put hot water on it, but Song Beiyun had no idea where the strength came from at this moment, he hugged the table leg, unable to pull away.

"Damn, how much did you drink?" Qiaoqiao stepped out and took a look: "Why do you have to drink so much?"

Jin Ling'er sighed, while Bi Luo said with a distressed face: "The entertainment in the officialdom is like this. If you want to be distinguished in front of others, you have to suffer in the future. Sisters go to rest, I will deal with it."

Chapter 632: On November 11th, Five Years, the Sunny Talks on Fengya, and the World Fengya Returns to Chang'an

"Spend money, spend money desperately."

Xu Li got up early in the morning, and he called all the shopkeepers of the double number to convey his thoughts. Everyone was holding back how to make money, but his Xu family was holding back how to spend money.

What would he do with money, and what would he do with no return, in short, he was a prodigal, a desperate loser, because this year's financial report has come out, and the Xu family, which has been spending desperately for two years, has a net increase of [-]% in wealth.

Net added value!Seeing this number, his head was about to explode. The more money it costs, the more money it will cost. The cement plant is under construction, the Thousand-Character Bookstore is being built with all its might, the barren hills have been covered, and no-man’s land has begun to be reclaimed. Yes, a lot of money went in, not only did it not make the Xu family thinner, but they became richer and richer...

If this continues, he feels that Da Song is not far away from attacking them, because their wealth is only one step away from the red line drawn by Song Beiyun.

"Donate, master."

"Donate? How do you donate? Who do you donate to?" Xu Li anxiously walked back and forth in front of the hall with his hands behind his back: "How do you donate money? It is a disaster to donate to anyone. If you donate something instead, it is driving up prices. How do you donate?" ?”

"Then what should I do..."

Xu Li scratched his chin and pondered for a moment: "Why don't you go and ask Mr. Song if there is any place to burn money? Hurry up, if you can't reduce your total assets to [-]% of last year's by the end of this year, next year will Something big is going to happen."

Xu Li is also in a hurry. He is obviously investing in all asymmetrical and unprofitable industries. How can the rate of return be so high year after year? 1000 million through prospecting, [-] mines were discovered, [-] gold mines, [-] coal mines, [-] copper mines and [-] porcelain clay mines.

He said he wanted to donate to Song Beiyun, and Song Beiyun scolded him, saying, "You are a businessman, and you donate everything. What do other people think when they see it? Will they dare to do business in the future?", so these The industry has become a public-private partnership, and the Xu family holds [-]% of the shares.

These 300% shares brought [-] million dividends in less than two years. Looking at those tickets, Xu Li fell into deep thought...

And the truly hopeless investment is Qianwei Bookstore. After seeing that this investment has no hope of returning to the original capital, Xu Li has increased the investment cost for three consecutive years. Now Dasong Qilu and 33 states have built bookstores. These bookstores go deep into all the township level places, employing tens of thousands of postmen to distribute the finished books and newspapers of major newspaper offices and bookstores.

The subsequent investment made Qianwei Bookstore build schools outside. In order to spend money, these schools are all free, as long as they are willing to study, they can send them in, without taking any money...

After that, he simply announced that Qianwei Bookstore would not require any money... the books in it could be borrowed and sold at will, and the price was extremely low, less than [-]% of the cost.

But the more so, he discovered that the bookstore is still profitable!This is still profitable!In the past, when the books were consistent and consistent, those peasant children were reluctant to part with them, but now they have three and five liters, and most people can buy them. In addition, there is a school next to the bookstore to teach. After a long time, even a cowherd In her spare time, she would take out a little book with pictures to pass the time.

Whether it is leisure books or the Four Books and Five Classics, as long as you want to read, you have to be literate. Therefore, in your spare time, the school next to the bookstore is full of people standing on the third and outer floors, with children in the innermost and adults in the outside.

After Song Beiyun found out about this, he felt it was funny. Some things were really unintentional. He never thought that those illiterate people would be so curious about these things. Farmers with their backs to the loess actually respect knowledge to such an extent.

Almost as long as there is a place that is connected to the outside world, there is an unspoken rule that "only by reading can you get ahead".

Under such a premise, Xu Li simply continued to invest money, continuously added various books, and added teachers of various subjects. In the end, he spent all the places where he could spend money, and he turned his eyes to the depths of the mountains... …

But even so, he still can't consume the money he earns every year. He knows that he has earned hundreds of thousands of coins every day when he opens his eyes.Anyone else would laugh to death, but for Xu Li, whether it was hundreds of thousands or millions, the clanging of copper coins was no different from a ghost crying in the middle of the night, and hearing it made him break out in cold sweat.

"It's really terrible." Xu Li stood at the door with his hands behind his back and looked at the bright winter outside: "Yes! You go around and ask people to find out if there is anyone who wants to study but has no money. As long as they are good enough, I have given away all the money I have spent in ten years of cold windows."

"Huh? Is this... a little too much?"

"What did you do? Just ask if you can spend money like this?"

"can."

"Then spend it! Desperate flowers, regardless of cost."

While Xu Li was discussing spending money with hundreds of shopkeepers, the person whom he ordered to question Song Beiyun just now came back with a strange expression on his face.
