Time Traveling Routine Movie King

"Brother Shen's insight is extraordinary and amazing. If it is implemented, Tongyuan Bookstore will definitely shine." Qin Yu said excitedly.

"I have a good relationship with Bianjing Juzi, Guozijian and Taixue. I can come forward to ask for your articles. However, Brother Shen and Brother Qin, I wonder if you can count me in your book business?" Jia Shiqing asked.

"Count me in too!" Xu Jin raised a hand and said.

"Mr. Wen Lan's calligraphy and paintings are worth hundreds of taels, are you also interested in this?" Zhao Pu, who was standing aside, interrupted and asked.

Xu Jin waved his hand, "There is money, but it's not fun. It's interesting to toss with Brother Shen like this!"

Being told by Xu Jin, Shen Bai touched his nose, is this guy still the noble gentleman who played the piano with him?

Qin Yu said with a serious face: "Brother Jia, Brother Xu is really ashamed. In fact, I came here today to sell Tongyuan Bookstore to Brother Shen. Because of poor management, the ancestral property is hard to keep. I am really ashamed of my ancestors." Mr. Shen's few words just now made me understand, but I still want to sell this bookstore, if you want to buy shares, just ask Brother Shen."

Shen Bai smiled: "Brother Qin is a humble gentleman, let me be convinced. I said these words just now, in fact, I want you to run Tongyuan together. My Shen family can't say that my family has a big business, but I want to develop in many ways. I don't want to be a Second Generation Ancestor. But I don’t know how to run a bookstore, no matter how well I speak, without the help of someone like you, how dare I take over Tongyuan?”

Qin Yu was moved by the words, and wanted to stand up to salute, but was stopped by Shen Bai: "It's too modest, brother Qin."

Xu Jin and Jia Shiqing listened to the conversation between the two, and couldn't help admiring: "Don't be humble, you are all trustworthy gentlemen, the four of us meet as old friends, if you don't dislike us, why don't we become brothers with different surnames?"

"Okay, Shen Bai can't wait for it."

Zhao Pu clapped his hands and said, "Okay, I'll bear witness for you all, and now let people set up the incense table."

Shen Bai nodded, and Zhao Pu took himself out without arrogating at all. Based on this alone, this person is a magnanimous person worthy of reuse.

"Then thank you Brother Zhao." Jia Shiqing thanked him.

Zhao Pu went out to prepare, Xu Jin asked Shen Bai curiously: "What is your development plan, can you tell us about it?"

"I don't have a suitable map of the Great Song Dynasty and its surrounding countries, so I'm afraid I won't describe it in detail enough." Shen Bai said with regret after thinking about the map.

"How important is it for me." Xu Jin said with a look of disdain, "Is there a big paper?"

"Of course there is, Linglong is going to spread the paper, and Shunzi is going to grind it." Shen Bai ordered immediately.

Taking out a large piece of rice paper, grinding the ink, Xu Jin went to the desk and picked out a small brush, then dipped it in water and ink, and drew lines in random order on the white paper. It didn't take a moment for Song's territory to be completely distributed on the map. Even the main cities are written in detail.

The light-colored ink outlines the river, and then outlines the surrounding East China Sea Jurchen, Khitan, Uyghur, and Dangxiang, and the farthest slide is Khorezmo.

After a map was drawn, Xu Jin wrote the words 'Great Song Yutu' on it with his affiliation.

"Amazing!" Seeing that he finished painting Shen Bai, he really admired him. Whoever said that there were no gods and men in ancient times, this is the one in front of him.

But Xu Jin said indifferently: "What's the matter? I have drawn more than a dozen pictures for Beiyuan Duhu Mansion, and each picture costs 200 taels. I'm already familiar with it!"

"Haha!" The people present were amused by him.

"The map is finished, you can read the illustration!" Xu Jin pointed to the map and said.

Although the ink on the map was still wet, looking at it still made Shen Bai very excited.

"The three major guards seem to be powerful, but they have never really solved the Jurchen at the source. Dangxiang and the Khitan, especially the Khitan, have hundreds of thousands of troops under pressure, and they can mobilize no less than a million. Appeasement and deterrence are the main focus, but they are preparing for a big war all the time. It is just a matter of time.

Once the war starts, what do you think is crucial? "

"Soldiers!" Jia Shiqing said.

"Food!" Xu Jin.

"Money!" Qin Yu asked.

"It's all important, but it's the people who are suffering." Shen Bai pointed to the map: "Our country can mobilize no fewer than one million troops, and a reserve force of one million. What is the purpose of the emperor's many reforms? Isn't it all about increasing the stock of the national treasury?

However, the country is so big that the officials who rely on salaries may have a bloated system and it will be difficult to operate quickly.

If we really want to go to war, if it is initiated by foreign enemies before we are ready, and our country is forced to fight, then the food will be messed up, and I am afraid it will skyrocket, right? "

"It makes sense, food prices are rising, the national treasury is under huge pressure, frontline security is in danger, and the people suffer the most." Jia Shiqing, who came from a general family, naturally sees it more thoroughly.

"Bianliang has the convenience of the Bianshui Canal, which is much more convenient than the previous Chang'an as the capital, but Bianliang will inevitably become the first rear of the three capitals. Once a war breaks out, the supply and demand of the whole country will be guaranteed. Mainly Bianliang, but Bianliang itself has 100 million mouths!" Shen Bai pointed to the map and said heavily.

"What are you going to do?" Jia Shiqing asked.

"Shouzhou, Luzhou, Hongzhou, Yangzhou, Fuzhou, and Qiongzhou are all accessible by waterways. If we buy fields in these places, set up Zhuangzi reserves, store grain for two years, and sell it at a low price. It can reduce the price of grain and save people from difficulties, and if there is an emergency ahead, our villages can buy grain from the rear and transfer it from the city, what do you think?" Shen Bai pointed to the cities along the route on the map.

"Miao, this is a good method, but the money needed may be huge." Qin Yu said with admiration.

"I'm going to use all my family resources. Anyway, owning land can guarantee food and clothing for the rest of my life. If money is something outside of me, it's better to do something."

"Brother Shen sharing the emperor's worries will definitely make Longxin happy." Qin Yu said.

Shen Bai shook his head: "I'm a foreign relative. I don't want to live a short life, so I just operate it honestly and privately. No matter how my purpose is to benefit the country and the people, he will be a burden to the third prince. I have no intention of doing this. I don't seek fame, but I want to be innocent." That's all."

"A good brother knows how to advance and retreat. He regards fame as floating clouds, but he cares about the world. It really makes me sigh. I am not talented, and I am willing to spend all my wealth to do this game with you." Jia Shiqing said.

"Thank you brother for your trust." Shen Bai thanked.

"As well as us, this is not in vain." Xu Jin and Qin Yu said together.

The four clapped their hands and laughed, and Zhao Pu came forward and said that the incense table was set up.

Everyone went to the front yard together, the red glow in the sky had receded, and the night was shrouded in darkness, but it couldn't resist the light of Shen's residence.

The four of them knelt down in front of the incense table together: "In heaven, the four of us, Jia Shiqing, Qin Yu, Xu Jin, and Shen Bai, would like to become brothers of different surnames. , join hands to forge ahead, not against this life.”

Zhao Pu brought a big bowl with white wine in it, and the four of them drank it down in one gulp.

"Loyalty and righteousness, live a happy life, unloyalty and unrighteousness, heaven and earth will not tolerate!" Jia Shiqing was the biggest of the four, he raised his bowl and finished speaking, then threw it on the ground forcefully.

"Brother!" Jia Shiqing was the biggest, the boss.

"Second brother, second brother!" Qin Yu said.

"Third Brother, Third Brother!" Xu Jin 25, Xing San.

"Fourth brother!" Shen Bai was the youngest and became the younger brother.

"Let's go, drink!" The four went to the banquet together.

The entire Shen residence was full of joy, and Shen Bai also heaved a sigh of relief.

His benevolent and righteous words today, not to mention how much water, how many high hats he has put on himself, but he is planning for a rainy day.

He started from here. He wanted to avoid confrontation with the fate of the emperor. If he wanted to survive, he had to be prepared. The best preparation choice was that his nephew could become the emperor in the future, and he could live a happy life in this time and space.

The sworn brotherhood of the four became a bond, and the far-reaching impact on the four families in the future was beyond their expectation.

After the banquet, they sent people to the Qin Mansion and Jia Shiqing's Mansion to say hello. Xu Jin was lonely and lived in the Xiangguo Temple, so he simply planned to live in the Shen Mansion in the future.

In the evening when Shen Bai returned to his room, the three righteous brothers were drunk and stayed in Shen's residence.

But because he has a good capacity for drinking and his spirit is different from ordinary people, he is not easy to get drunk, so he is fine.

Ask Yuemei to bring hot water to take a bath, to remove the smell of alcohol, and along with the hot water, there is also a piece of soap.

"Did this come from the palace?" Shen Bai picked up the soap and asked.

"No, young master. These are the famous pancakes made by Liu Long, a native of Sichuan. They were given to you by Mrs. Zhao Guanshi. She also brought them from Yangzhou."

"Oh, this Liu Long's fragrant soap is selling well, right?" Shen Bai asked pretending to be calm.

"What's the matter, I was proclaimed into the palace, and later I offended Concubine Zhuang because of something, so I was given to die."

"Oh!" After asking, although Shen Bai was startled, he kept silent and went to take a bath quietly.
