Northern Song Dynasty gangster: Start the game with a dog's head, and Mr. Bao spares his life

Cao Bin was about to take the money, but upon hearing what she said, he quickly withdrew his hand and said seriously:

"No, you can't buy two acres of land with 1 taels of silver."

"If you open your mouth, what will other people do? This official has always been upright..."

Princess Xiangyang frowned and said, "Five mu! It can't be less."

Cao Bin resolutely said: "If you say you can't do it, you can't do it. Needless to say, Wangfei please!"

Princess Xiangyang suddenly wiped away her tears and said aggrievedly:

"You are heartless, so ruthless?"

"I don't want to cause you trouble, I just want to support myself."

"Now we have been reduced to common people and kicked out of the palace, and we will all point to this business in the future!"

"Can't you take care of it?"

Looking at Wang Hao's graceful figure and soft and pretty jade face, against the backdrop of a filial piety dress, she is even more charming.

In her thirties, she looks like a girl in her [-]th or [-]th year... "Run".

Seeing this, Cao Bin couldn't help feeling hot in his heart, and stretched out his hand involuntarily...

He felt that it was all the fault of the uniform, otherwise he was there to help, so how could he fall into the trap?

"Uncle Cao, is it okay this time?"

The princess drew a circle on Cao Bin's chest and asked.

Cao Bin got up very quickly, and said confidently:

"What's okay? Do you think the Lord will be deceived by a little beauty trick?"

"4 taels, not less than a cent, um... the Lord still has business to do, so let's go!"

The concubine watched him leave dumbfounded, a little confused, what went wrong?

Is it so rigid?

Back in the main hall, seeing Bao Mian shrinking his head, Cao Bin said suspiciously:

"what are you doing?"

Bao Mian hurriedly said: "Office, I'm at work!"

As he said that, he quickly lowered his head and worked "more".

Cao Bin pondered for a while, and ordered:

"Go and tell the newspaper that tomorrow we will publish 'Princess Xiangyang offers [-] crowns' to fund the construction of the port and get ten acres of land for the port."

In fact, with Cao Bin's own money as the backing, there is no shortage of money for the preliminary project.

Under the construction of a large number of people day and night, it took only half a month for the port to take shape.

One of the magnificent buildings is the most eye-catching.

"Xiangyang Exchange"

At this time, Wang Tongpan was taking many merchants to visit.

He said with some pride:

"See, our Xiangyang Exchange has the largest warehouse and the fastest news."

"Whether it's in Sichuan, Jiangdong, or even the prices of surrounding countries, the prices of commodities will be marked..."

"And we have the largest perfume and soap workshop here, and you can't buy so many goods elsewhere."

The businessman in the back has been dazzled and couldn't help but marvel:

"It's so convenient. It's clear at a glance where the goods can make money, and there are even weather and policy forecasts in various places. How can you lose money?"

"More than that, you can place an order for any goods you need, and you can even complete large transactions without going out in this exchange..."

Seeing Wang Tong judge introducing himself, someone couldn't help asking:

"Master Wang, can we still buy the land at the port?"

Others also asked, they were just worried about whether Xiangyang could attract enough business activities.

But judging from the current situation, merchants from all over the country will definitely flock here, even exceeding the carrying capacity of the port.

One can imagine how prosperous this place will be in the future, so this land will be worth a lot of money.

Wang Tongpan glanced at him and said, "It's late, the land at the port has been sold out..."

Now he is rich and powerful, and he has sold more than 100 million pieces of land just around the port.

Of course, under the conditions of the Song Dynasty, it is impossible to transmit information as conveniently as later generations, and it is not even accurate.

The exchange is also the most primitive and crude model, but even this is enough to attract merchants from all over the world.

Taking advantage of the situation to set up a chamber of commerce is also a breeze.

Moreover, Cao Bin also wants to build an intelligence network covering a wide range, and now he can use the exchange to lay the foundation.

It should be said that the essence of the port is in this exchange.

Only relying on this exchange, Cao Bin can make a lot of money.

These days, Xiangyang is more lively than before. First, the nobles from Bianjing came to buy land and invest money, and then merchants from all over the place.

With more merchants coming and going, there are naturally more opportunities to make money.

It can be said that a port and an exchange have directly raised the prosperity of Xiangyang City to a higher level.

After Wang Tongsan returned to the yamen, he was shocked by Cao Bin and said:

"Uncle, your method is too powerful. I found that this exchange can not only help people sell local specialties, but also stabilize prices."

Cao Bin said with a smile: "In the future, you will find that its functions are far more than that."

However, the exchange also needs conditions. If there is no smooth information channel, it will be difficult to play its due role.

His investment in this area will not be less than the cost of building the port.

Bao Mian said quite proudly:

"I've known for a long time that Uncle Cao has far-sighted plans. He only works for half an hour every day to make Xiangyang stable and more prosperous. What a genius through the ages!"

Wang Tongpan was a little speechless, didn't he make you more and more comfortable, so that he had time to be lazy?

Only come for half an hour?If you work harder, he may not come for half an hour.

At this moment, the head of the yamen servant came in and said shamelessly: "Uncle, the traitor has been caught, I didn't expect it to be my subordinate."

Wang Tongpan hurriedly said: "Sure enough, the people in the yamen leaked the news?"

Cao Bin didn't care, he waved his hands and said, "Let him name the person behind the scenes, and then arrest him..."

The Yunxiao Daily often got inside news and scolded him from various angles. If he didn't want the other party to pay more money, he would have done it long ago.

The fact is just as he expected, these days, Cai Xiao lost money so much that his face turned green.

Although the cost of the newspaper was not much, it couldn't support the large volume. In addition, Cao Bin specially sent someone to buy their newspaper, and Cai Xiao had to pay thousands of taels of silver almost every day.

Counting other costs such as manpower and printing machines, he lost almost 8 to [-] taels in more than half a month.

That was his father's hard-earned money.

It was not easy for him to ask for so much money. His heart was bleeding every day watching batches of newspapers go out.

I just feel that this kind of day is suffering every day.

There is no other way, he can only hope that Cao Bin can't hold on sooner, and quickly raise the price of the newspaper.

At this moment, Prince Wang suddenly ran in and said excitedly:

"Brother Cai, I got a piece of news. It turns out that those merchants gave money to Da Song Daily for the sake of publicity."

"Even if we sell newspapers for a penny, we can still make money!"

Hearing this, Cai Xiao suddenly widened his eyes and said, "You mean, Cao Bin has never lost money these days?"

Prince Wang was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes... right?"

Cai Xiao suddenly yelled: "I was deceived by Cao again..."

After speaking, he was dizzy for a while and almost fell to the ground.

Prince Wang was about to help him, when a group of yamen servants rushed in and shouted:

"How dare you bribe the yamen servants and buy the inside information of the state yamen? Come with us."

Before they could react, the two had already been locked up.

Cai Xiao hurriedly struggled and said, "I am the son of Grand Tutor Cai Jing, who of you dares to arrest me?"

The prince also quickly said: "We are interviewing normally! There is no such thing as bribery."

Several yamen servants froze for a moment, hesitated, but Lu Zhishen walked in with a bloody Zen stick, and said angrily:

"What are you doing in a daze, so what about Cai Jing, will Uncle Cao be afraid of him?"

As he spoke, he went straight down with two Zen sticks and slapped them on the necks of the two.

"Wori, you..."

Cai Xiao didn't expect that this guy would really dare to attack, he rolled his eyes immediately, as if he had no bones, he fell limp directly,

Lu Zhishen was also taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Look quickly, are they dead?"

When Cai Xiao woke up again, they were already in the prison of the state government office.

Prince Wang rubbed his neck, which hurt slightly, and said worriedly:

"Brother Cai, what should we do now? Cao Bin will not let us go easily."

Cai Xiao was silent for a while, then said:

"It's okay, we just bribed the yamen servant to buy some news, he dare not do anything to us."

"It's just a pity that there is no chance to incite the people to riot and take the opportunity to impeach him."

"Unexpectedly, he has some talents, and this Xiangyang has signs of... prosperity."

At this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly sounded from the dark corner, so that Cai Xiao and the two of them jumped up in fright.

They didn't notice just now that there was still a person hiding in the corner of the cell.

The man said:

"Who said there is no chance to provoke the people to rebel?"

"As long as you let a certain family go out, don't talk about bringing down Cao Bin, even if you want to kill him."

Cai Xiao said coldly, "Who are you?"

The man said: "The seven Buddhas below..."

Xiangzhou government office.

At this time, Cao Bin was listening to Yang Zhi's report on the reorganization of soldiers from the nine counties.

Since Cao Bin is still under the jurisdiction of the soldiers and horses of the nine counties, he has the responsibility to manage these troops.

So it takes some effort, but it's not too difficult.

Previously, King Xiangyang's infiltration of the army was too serious, and all the generals and schools were reviewed.

In this case, as long as Cao Bin strictly enforces military discipline, he can guarantee basic stability.

Give them enough ascending channels, and the morale of the soldiers will not be low, let alone cause trouble.

"Uncle, do you want to inspect the garrisons in various places?"

Yang Zhi said eagerly in his eyes.

Cao Bin was too lazy to move, so he shook his head and said:

"I still want to sit in Xiangzhou, so I won't go!"

Yang Zhi felt disappointed just now, and Wang Tong sent to report:
