Chapter 1035 Wen Xianggong's last trump card

This is a small teahouse, which also sells pork noodles, hot-stewed and steamed dumplings. Because it is real and tastes delicious, it has received widespread praise.

Every morning, before dawn, I could see a large row of workers squatting at the door. They held large bowls and sucked noodles... Regardless of winter and summer, when I came to eat noodles, I had not woken up yet. When I waited for a bowl of noodles to eat, I felt sweat on my forehead and felt energetic. Then I was full of fighting spirit and went to work.

The slightly more elegant people came late after the workers had eaten it. They asked for a pot of tea, ordered two firewood, steamed dumplings in a basket, and ate them slowly. They were not too slow, and they were very elegant.

Su Shi spent half of these days, running in the countryside, and half of the time, he sorted out things in the county town and observed the market... This teahouse is a must-visit place he will come to every day.

"Give me a pot of tea and 5 steamed dumplings!" This foodie always had a good appetite. The shopkeeper knew him and said with a smile: "Mr., have you gone to the countryside again?"

Su Shi nodded, and the shopkeeper recommended: "A coincidence, I just entered some Emeimao Peaks and Pu'er. Should I try it?"

Su Shi was curious, "Shopkeeper, aren't you just having flower tea and Longjing? When did you add new tea? Come to me, Hu Maofeng, which happens to be the tea from my hometown. I haven't drunk for many years."

The shopkeeper agreed happily and went to make tea quickly and delivered it to Su Shi in person.

Da Su took a sip and was quite authentic. He asked curiously: "Shopkeeper, the business is getting better and better? Are you going to add tricks?"

As soon as he said this, the shopkeeper's face became bitter and he shook his head repeatedly.

"Mr. Ke, let me tell you, life is not easy?"

"Oh? How do you say it?"

The shopkeeper was not polite and complained loudly. The textile factory was not far away and was ruined three days ago. When the door was closed, there were still workers going to make trouble. Later, people came to the yamen and persuaded all the workers to leave... As soon as the textile factory closed, the number of customers in the morning was 90%.

The shopkeeper lamented that he sold the quantity by relying on the quality of goods and low prices.

Without the largest source of customers, he could only find ways to sell more to wealthy customers and make more money.

But it is not easy to attract rich people. It is not enough to just increase the types of tea. The teahouse must also be redecorated to become elegant and elegant. You also need to hire more smart guys, and it is best to invite a few young and careful girls.

However, it is not surprising that the shopkeeper is frowning and his face is sad.

"Mr. Ke, I know you are a writer and can speak as much as you can. If you say one thing, you can say a thousand words or ten thousand words. It's really hard to live this day, please help!"

The shopkeeper's face turned red. He was not a person who asked for help easily, but there was no way, so he had to do so!

Su Shi was very helpful.

"I can help, but I don't understand yet. Isn't that textile factory pretty good? Why can't it be maintained?"

When he asked this, the shopkeeper lamented even more.

The textile factory turned out to be good. The owner took out 30,000 yuan at the beginning of the year to purchase new equipment and had to do a big deal. The bank had already agreed to the loan, but just a month ago, it suddenly stopped borrowing.

The owner had no choice but to borrow money everywhere, thinking about getting the equipment back first, and when the output increased, he naturally had a way to pay it back. However, as soon as his equipment arrived, several original customers canceled orders due to shortage of funds.

If the cloth cannot be sold, all the creditors come to ask for it. So what if it is not yellow?

Su Shi listened carefully, and the shopkeeper talked a lot. The owner of the textile factory was a good person. When the business was good two years ago, he also paid an extra month's salary to the workers during the Chinese New Year.

No one of the businessmen around could match, but they fell down... "Fortunately, he is a good person. Even if he owe his salary, the workers are willing to go home first. If there are poor human nature, hundreds of people rushed in and set a fire, and everything is really over!"

Su Shi was curious, "Why, someone set fire?"

"Why didn't there? Just ten days ago, the timber shop in the east of the city and the grain shop in the south of the city were burned... The workers who made trouble were arrested. The yamen wanted to try this case. Many people were not convinced. They all said that they would not pay back their wages, and they had a bad conscience, and they deserved it..."

Su Shi's scalp was numb. Obviously, when he checked Xijing Bank, the consequences of financial turmoil had already affected the small county town!

"Shopkeeper, how are the workers now? Will there be chaos? For example...rebellion?"

"Ah!" The shopkeeper exclaimed in fear. He looked around, but no guests came in. He lowered his voice and smiled bitterly: "You know, Master, the people are the most honest. As long as you have food, you will not rebel. Although these workers are angry, most of the families have land and cannot starve to death. But they have suffered the people in the original city. They don't say that they have no place to support their families... Now they finally know, it turns out that the people in the city are not as good as farmers!"

...

Just listening to the shopkeeper's story, Da Su still felt unsatisfied. He walked around. It was true that the county town was depressed and neglected, and the road was full of people looking hurried.

The most lively one is pawn shops. It is summer now, and many women hold fur coats and pawn them and live in exchange for some money... No one knows how long this crisis lasts, so they can only pray that God will open their eyes.

Seeing this, Su Shi couldn't help but sigh when he thought of a large number of young workers returning in the countryside.

My brother-in-law is more prescient!

If there was no equal field order, thousands of workers would have nowhere to go, no money in their pockets, no food in their belly, no tiles on their heads, and no clothes on their bodies... It would be strange if they didn't rise up!

The more prosperous it is, the more fragile it is.

When the storm occurred, the one who saved his life was the one-acre and three-point land in his family.

Starting five years ago, people have brought back many fresh crops from overseas, including potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, peanuts, tobacco, etc.

Before Wang Ning'an became Prime Minister, he organized several voyages and finally successfully discovered Oceania and the Inca Empire located in the Americas.

At this time, the Inca Empire was still very weak, with only a small part of the land surrounding Cusco. There were many countries throughout the continent, and it was full of princes.

Faced with the numerous indigenous people, the navigators from the Song Dynasty did not raise their butcher's knife, but took out exquisite silk and porcelain, and gave them to the Inca kings mirrors, copper coins, swords and other products.

The emergence of the Song Dynasty fleet deeply shocked the continent in a semi-barbaric state. They found that the guests from afar were very similar to their appearances, and even had some similar languages.

Scholars from the Song Dynasty were also surprised to find that these indigenous peoples retained too many customs of the ancestors of the Han Dynasty, and their carvings and writings were quite ancient.

During the exchange, the Incas mentioned that thousands of years ago, our ancestors rode across the ocean and came to a strange continent, residing and thriving.

The scholars of the Song Dynasty were very happy. They unanimously believed that historical books once recorded that after the demise of the Shang Dynasty, some Shang Dynasty residents left the fertile land of the Central Plains and went overseas to avoid disaster. Everyone thought that it was just a legend, but after discovering the New World, they increasingly believed that these legends might be true.

The fleet of the Song Dynasty invited indigenous representatives to return to their hometowns and visit the prosperity of the Song Dynasty...About the two years since the throne, more and more scholars of the Song Dynasty flew out to the sea to pursue the traces of the Shang Dynasty's remnants. More and more indigenous people came to the Song Dynasty. They were soon attracted by the prosperity and prosperity of the Song Dynasty and decided to live and work in the Song Dynasty. Whether true or false, they were very happy to recognize their ancestors... These indigenous people were called new merchants, and the continent they discovered was also the Shang Dynasty. Some people regarded North and South America and Oceania as the legendary Three Immortal Mountains to attract more people to visit the strange world.

During the interaction process, new crops entered the Song Dynasty. They did not require fertile land or effort to serve them. The yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes was quite considerable.

From the city to the countryside, many workers plant their yard vegetable fields full of high-yield crops. No matter what, they can't starve to death with land. Just wait, life will always get better.

Wang Ning'an insisted on implementing the Juntian Order, but unexpectedly, he used it as soon as he stepped down. It can be said that without the Juntian Order, this time the Xijing Bank's twists and turns would bring about a complete disaster!

Although he is in a state of great trouble now, there is no need to worry that the people will rebel... But these do not constitute the reason why Wang Ning'an let Wen Yanbo go.

He vowed to make Lao Wen pay the price!

Xue Xiang spoke, and he admitted that he was indeed instructed by Wang, and the person instructed him was Cai Que. Wang Ning'an decisively ordered to take down Cai Que. Cai Que truthfully confessed that he was doing all kinds of things under Wang Rong's order... But Cai Que also admitted that it was He Zhengchen's idea to make money from Yunzhou.

Who is He Zhengchen? It is the guy who took the lead in impeaching Su Shi... As a censor, how could he know the situation in Yunzhou and come up with tricks to make money?

After torture, He Zhengchen confessed that he was originally a member of Wen Xianggong, but later he defected to Wang Anshi's group and wanted to make contributions. He happened to get evidence from Wen Jifu that Su Shi wrote a poem and satirized the court, so he told Cai Que and wrote a letter to impeach... Later, Wen Jifu found him again and revealed the matter about Yunzhou to him!

Such a complicated case was finally completely figured out. It turned out that Wen Kuan’s husband was all done by him from beginning to end. He had been in the court for decades. Mr. Wen encountered the biggest crisis in his life!

"Dad, they are all ignorant and have made a big mistake. They are willing to take this life and never implicate Dad!" Wen Jifu said while crying, heartbroken.

Lao Wen was rare and did not beat him again. "Even if you go to take the blame, you can't get rid of your relationship for your father. This is how you go to find Wang Ning'an for your father, and you should be able to save your life!"

Wen Jifu wiped his tears and asked stupidly: "Dad, can Wang Ning'an agree? What trump card do you have?"

Wen Yanbo squeezed out a smile, he took out an equity document, pressed it on the table, and said with a loss of regret: "Well, that's it!"
