Cai Bianting is paranoid, and most reformists are very paranoid. Take his father-in-law Wang Anshi as an example. If he were not paranoid, he would not have said that for the sake of the new law, all ancestral laws can be abolished.

As for Zhang Dun and others, each one is more paranoid than the other.

In terms of character, Cai Bian is also the kind of person who speaks the truth. Even if his colleague Zhang Dun, a giant of the reform sect, comes, he will never want to take food from his hands. Not only that, Cai Bian will most likely bring Zhang Dun with him.

Go to the warehouse and take a look at Jiang Ning's treasury. Tell the other party that my treasury is very full, but if you want it, there is no door. It's so annoying.

Professor Zhang had already experienced Cai Bian's paranoia. Fortunately, he was not angry and knew that Cai Bian was such a person.

Seeing that neither Zhang Shuo nor Su Guo insisted on seeing the granary, Cai Bian felt relieved and coldly snorted to his subordinates: "Go and send the warehouse supervisor!"

"I've met Mr. Fu Yin, and I've met two... young masters!"

Warehouse supervisors have a very low status, and they always tremble with fear when encountering people like Cai Bian. They are deeply afraid that the treasury will show their flaws and be caught by the great master. The Song Dynasty has always punished corruption with serious crimes, and those with minor offenses will be deprived of official status and will never be hired.

In severe cases, he will be sent to prison and his home will be ransacked.

But no matter how careful the warehouse supervisor is, there is nothing he can do when faced with a shortage or even damage to the warehouse.

Just like a good crossbow, it takes three years to make the arms, but a nest of rats can destroy a crossbow worth more than a dozen guns in one night. Not only that, but there are also water erosion, insect infestation, rust, and so on.

Only the problem of preservation troubled the warehouse supervisors of the Song Dynasty. If they really encountered a boss who was difficult to talk to, the warehouse supervisor could bankrupt himself by giving him gifts to apologize.

When facing Fu Yin, the warehouse supervisor was even more afraid.

Because you have angered your boss, the most you can do is get a slap on the wrist. However, it is possible for the governor to open a court for interrogation. If you are not lucky, you have to be prepared to go to jail.

He raised the account book above his head with both hands and handed it to Cai Bian.

Then he started talking as if he was announcing the names of dishes in a waiter: "No. 1 Warehouse A, where swords are stored. There are 30,54 plain knives, 58,564 spear points, and 1 armor."

Nineteen thousand weapons and seven thousand eight hundred helmets..."

Even though Su Guo had no military experience and didn't know what an army was, he was shocked by the weapons in the Song Dynasty's treasury. Just one weapon from the Jiangning Palace was enough to form an army of 100,000 people. Of course,

, I don’t expect everyone to have armor, but everyone can still do it with a weapon.

For hundreds of years, the Song Dynasty has been troubled by foreign aggression.

Nearly 70% of the Song Dynasty's finances were spent on the army every year.

With an investment of 70 million yuan a year and decades of accumulation, the emperor and ministers would probably guess how strong the Song Dynasty's military was. It was very weak, and it was extremely weak. But I'm afraid there is no way to know how many weapons the Song Dynasty had.

People can know that many of these weapons have been stored for too long, and some of them have lost the ability to use. But after taking into account these unusable weapons, the number of usable weapons is still a huge astronomical number.

Cai Bian did not look at the account books, but squinted his eyes slightly while listening to the warehouse supervisor reciting the huge treasury reserves.

When he heard the miscellaneous items, he finally opened his eyes and whispered: "Go to the warehouse to take inventory."

At this time, the warehouse supervisor's voice was hoarse, and cold sweat was dripping from his forehead. Hearing Cai Bian's words, his head felt a little numb, and he continued to recite. Fortunately, the clerk coughed a few times to wake him up, and then he realized that he might cause trouble.

The elder was unhappy and shivered. He lowered his waist and cautiously led the group to the treasuries with lower numbers.

The moment he opened the treasury, the materials piled up in the treasury made Professor Zhang shocked by the wealth of the Song Dynasty. Being in the treasury and outside the treasury were two completely different feelings. The insignificance of human beings

, it can be said that there is a mountain of materials in Tuofu's treasury.

"Inspection!"

A white, middle-aged man who looked like a businessman came next to Su Guo. He walked up to the jars and jars and began to inspect them. He looked at the quality of several jars in a row. After stirring them, he sniffed the smell and nodded: "Top grade."

Su Guo then breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Professor Zhang. When dealing with Cai Bian, Su Guo couldn't lose even if he took the name of his father Su Shi. What can you do if people ignore you?

Zhang Shuo at least had the status of a Jinshi. For Zhang Dun's sake, Cai Bian opened the door to Zhang Shuo.

Professor Zhang bowed and thanked: "I thank my uncle Ao for his help!"

"It's because of the common people that I have given you convenience. Renhe, you have to remember that all the officials in the world are looking at your father. Be careful not to follow the truth." After Cai Bian finished speaking, he said to the warehouse supervisor: "Confirm the purchase price.

,is that OK?"

How dare the warehouse supervisor say 'no'?

Lying on the ground, he kept saying: "Little man, please be careful!"

Cai Bian left.

Professor Zhang and others took a breath. This person was putting too much pressure on people. Professor Zhang looked at Su Guo's face and immediately said with relief: "Xian brother, don't worry too much. Cai Yuandu is such a person.

He has no ill intentions towards others. He is just unsmiling and unsmiling, which makes people feel difficult to get along with him."

Su Guo stretched out his hand to support the warehouse supervisor and said sadly: "My brother is an official who has favored my father. He is a warehouse supervisor in Hebei. He just acted out of his feelings."

After the warehouse supervisor stood up, he smiled at Su Guo and said, "Young master, don't feel sorry for me. The position of warehouse supervisor is quite comfortable on weekdays. It only feels more uncomfortable when Shangguan comes. It will be over after you endure it. Besides, Shangguan won't do it every day."

Come all. My elder brother is Enyin, and at least he has the title of Wensanguan, which is much better than me. Shangguan will not deliberately make things difficult."

Su Guo felt a little better now. He had once thought about Enyin becoming an official, but when he saw that the warehouse supervisor was so lowly, he gave up the idea. He even wanted his brother to stop working as a warehouse supervisor and go home to farm.

Besides, Yingzhou Prefectural Government.

It has been almost ten days since he sent the letter to Jiangning. Li Kui is not going anywhere these days, just studying in the state government office. Unfortunately, he wants to be clean, but he can't stop people from disturbing him.

"Wonderful brother, outstanding person!"

Gao Qiu was outside the yard, sometimes pretending to chirp, sometimes calling in a low voice. Anyway, he would come two or three times a day, otherwise he would never stop.

Li Kui opened the door, and Gao Qiu sneaked into the yard, looking around and looking carefully. Seeing that Su Shi was not there, he immediately felt relieved and said to Li Kui with a smile: "Brother, please go out for a walk?

"

"I won't go. I have to endorse it. I haven't read the book Master asked me to read yet."

Li Kui also knew what Gao Qiu was thinking, but it would not help if he went out, and he could not produce camellia oil in his hands. On the contrary, he could leave it alone in the yard.

"It's over sixty, brother Xian, you know, right?" Gao Qiu couldn't help it anymore, and babbled in front of Li Kui: "Brother Yu, I estimate that the price can't go up any higher. If it goes any higher, even rich people won't be able to afford it.

Already."

His intention couldn't be simpler, he just wants to take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit.

Li Kui said to himself: "It has been almost ten days since I sent the letter to Jiangning. If you want to buy it, now is an opportunity."

Gao Qiu was still ready to rub him in front of Li Kui for a while. After all, Li Kui was very strict and much more reliable than Li Yun. Suddenly he was stunned. Li Kui just said it was an opportunity. Gao Qiu was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Okay.

Did you buy it?"

"Well, it's about this time. If it's later, there won't be such a good opportunity." It's not that Li Kui doesn't want to see anyone drinking soup. Besides, Gao Qiu has been working hard with his predecessor in Su Shi, and he has worked hard without any credit. There is no need to force him to become a

A good and honest official. Besides, when you have benefits, you don’t think about others. When others become prosperous, who will think of you?

Giggles, Gao Qiu's face burst into laughter: "Brother Xian, I will remember your kindness. When I make money, I will go to the Daxiangguo Temple for you to offer an immortality tablet."

"Go away, I'm only a teenager, what kind of immortality tablet do I want?"

As Li Kui spoke, he was about to fight. Gao Qiu stepped forward with his long legs and ran away. Unexpectedly, Gao Qiu was grabbed by someone at the door. He lowered his head and saw that it was Li Yun: "Gao Qiu, more than sixty yuan per stone, your money

enough?"

Gao Qiu was dumbfounded. Today's exchanges are getting bigger and bigger, and the amount of transactions is not low. Take camellia oil as an example, one order costs one hundred dan. According to the current price, he doesn't even have enough money for one order.

I couldn't buy it. I didn't expect that Gao Qiu, who got the inside information, would end up being happy in vain. But looking at Li Yun's expression, it seemed to be saying to him: "I have no money, please beg me!"

"Brother Xian, it's not easy for me to do this business. Please lend me some money. When my brother gets rich, I will provide you with an immortal tablet!" Gao Qiu said flatteringly to Li Yun.

Li Yun was so angry that he had no way to borrow money. He gritted his teeth and said: "Gao Qiu, you have never thought about buying a deal with me? Let's do this business together."

Gao Qiu looked at Li Yun with an evil look in his eyes: "You also want to share my benefits?"

"What a brain." Li Yun wished he could slap Gao Qiu out of Qian's eyes. This guy was not stupid enough to take a piss and look at himself. The exchange had hundreds of thousands of dollars in business, but he only had less than a thousand dollars in his hands.

, Do you still want to swallow it all in one gulp? He said angrily: "You don't even think about it. You only have a few money in your hand, and you are talking nonsense about sharing your benefits? We are mutually beneficial and we can advance and retreat together. You don't have enough money in your hand.

I don’t even have enough money, but if we put them together, we can make a purchase. This is called cooperation, in which both parties benefit, and division, in which both parties lose.”

Gao Qiu tilted his head and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's the truth."

Li Yun then happily said: "When I see the money, I will give you an immortal tablet."

Gao Qiu said with a look of disgust: "I don't even have a son, and I haven't even married a wife. How can I ask for a longevity tablet? If you can't bear it, you can give me more benefits when the time comes."

Li Yun almost used his fists to teach Gao Qiu how to behave.

Gao Qiu knew he had made a mistake and said with a smile: "Brother is wrong. Let's go to Kangjin first and settle down the business."

"Wrong, let's go to Shopkeeper Qiu's bank first. The money in our hands is not enough."

…

The two of them walked out of the bank arm-in-arm, and then headed into the exchange. When the sun turned west, they stood on the streets of Yingzhou, watching the people coming and going, looking fascinated.

Gao Qiu held a stack of transaction orders issued by the exchange in his hand, including five orders.

Gao Qiu, who was usually trapped by money, was full of energy, pointed to a building and said: "I never thought that I, Gao Qiu, could do tens of thousands of yuan in business in this life. If this business succeeds, I will buy a building in the capital."
