My years in the Northern Song Dynasty Guozijian

Dyslexia, let alone ancient times, is a relatively new and rare disease in modern times.Ye An was also able to understand by accident that in the 21st century, if there is scientific treatment and guidance, it is still possible to be cured, but don't count on it now.

Recalling the exaggerated smiles of those people, Ye An felt angry.Especially Di Yong, who even wrote it down in notes, saying that he planned to go back to deal with his elder brother, Ye An wanted to punch him twice on the spot.

The test scores were posted on the door of the Zhai by the sacrificial wine, and everyone was warned that if the scores were still the same next time, they would be posted outside directly.

Ye An always felt that when Wang Anshi said these words, his eyes seemed to be looking at him twice, and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look directly, and secretly groaned in his heart.

But there is also good news, the originally planned move to the Zhaishe was postponed for a few days.It's all because some parents in the yamen feel sorry for their children. Seeing that the new sacrificial wine and oil and salt are not available, they go directly to the official saints.

Renzong was so annoyed that he had no choice but to order that Qixi Festival be given two more days off, so that the students could stay at home until Qixi Festival.

This matter is in the middle of Ye An's heart. He is a loner, and he still has property outside. It takes time to arrange many things.Besides, he still has a big plan to complete.

……

In modern society, due to many reasons such as rapid economic development, busy life, and impetuous people, many traditional festivals in our country are gradually being ignored.

Tanabata is one of them.Modern Qixi Festival is mostly a festival between couples, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, it had nothing to do with couples. There was even a saying that "on July [-], we welcome relatives and marry daughters to avoid festivals".After all, no one wants their daughter to be like a weaver girl, "in the water with her lover, unable to speak."

The Qixi Festival in the Northern Song Dynasty is a festival of carnival for the whole people.

In the early morning, every family will prepare sacrifices, praying for more children and blessings; during the day, it is the day for literati to dry their books.The weather in July is not so hot, the sky is high and the air is crisp, and scholars take advantage of the holiday to take out their books to dry.Gradually, the Book Showing Festival became a national book fair; at night, the Qiqiao Market appeared, and children and women, regardless of their family background, rich or poor, all put on their most beautiful new clothes. The whole city was brightly lit, and there were even people in the early morning.

Ye An walked through the crowded crowd, and many of the young ladies who passed by on the road covered their faces and smiled lightly, and some even looked up and down directly. On this kind of day, the girls are very bold.

As for why they are laughing, you can tell when you move your eyes to Ye An's head.I saw that Ye An was wearing a cyan cape with flowers on it, looking from afar, it looked like he was wearing a hat with big flowers.

Of course, this is not a special hobby.It's all because of today's festive season, but Qixi Festival is a good day for Rouge Shop to make money, so the employees can only continue to work overtime.Most of Heng Zhiqing Fen's employees are women, so it is very uncomfortable not to be able to enjoy Qixi Festival.Seeing demoralized, only money can appease.Taking advantage of no one, Ye Ansui led the crowd to play.

The so-called Guanpu is a gambling method that was popular in the Song Dynasty.Relevant records can be seen everywhere in the notebook novels of the Song and Yuan Dynasties.Some are similar to guessing numbers in later generations. If you win, you can change the money to take away the items you are throwing, and if you lose, you will pay.

Because the purpose is to let the ladies have fun, Ye An set the difficulty of the game very low.As long as you play, you can win money. The biggest prize is that Ye An can meet the opponent's requirements within a certain range.

Everyone in Bianliang loves Guan Pu, and everyone had a great time playing it.But no one expected that the winner turned out to be Yuanbao.

Yuan Bao was also stunned and scratched his head. He didn't want anything. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "I often heard the old lady say at home that she has never seen the young master's hairpin, so she is very sorry. Today just happens to be Qixi Festival , you can have two more hairpins, don’t take them off.”

Ye An smiled wryly, because he was a mother in this life, he purposely avoided these feminine things, but since he agreed, he could only follow through.The ladies in the house smiled and helped, and finally plugged in.

Shaking his head, following the lights, Ye An stepped into Little Sweet Water Lane.This is the famous Fengyue Street in Bianliang, everyone's clothes are quite exaggerated, so Ye An doesn't attract much attention here.

After taking two steps, he turned and entered a small two-story building.There were two young servants standing at the door. When they saw Ye An, they immediately stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please, but there is a lady you know well. I will call for you." The brothels in Xiaotianshui Lane are large To say the least, there are thirty or forty, and the pressure of competition is extremely high.So each store finds a different way to find its own style.And obviously, this store takes the straight ball route, there are talented orchids in the lobby, and the servants will let you order girls when they come up.

"Look for your owner, Chenghui, and tell him that the owner of the rouge shop has a job to make a fortune and discuss with him." That's right, this shop is the property of Naha chief monk Chenghui.

The boy reacted quickly, and immediately turned around and went to the backyard to report. After a while, he said respectfully, "Mr. Lang, please come inside."

Passing through the veranda with seven turns and eight turns, the two walked to a room.Pushing open the door, Ye An took a look inside, good guy!

I saw Chenghui's clothes were half-faded, leaning on a beautiful girl, and beside him was another charming young woman fanning him.It seems that in his own territory, this Monk Hua has completely let himself go.

Ye An saluted with a smile, "Master is so elegant."

Chenghui probably drank some wine, got carried away, and said quite proudly: "The Tathagata is happy and romantic, and the light is unprecedented!" Then he squinted his eyes, saw Ye An's hairpins clearly, and said with a smile: "Ye Lang You are also very chic."

"It's easy to talk about," Ye An arched his hands.It made the two "Fan Sao" laugh again and again.

Cheng Hui straightened up, not talking nonsense: "Mr. Lang said earlier that there is a business with money, but I don't know what it refers to." Could it be that he changed his mind and wanted to go out to the tile market in Daxiangguo Temple?Cheng Hui thought in his heart, no, this little trickster doesn't want to suffer a little bit, how could he go back on his word.

Ye An didn't speak, but looked around.Chenghui understood and dismissed the people around him.

Putting the small crock in his hand on the case, Ye Anxu nodded, "The so-called way to get rich is right here."

Cheng Hui originally planned to carry it, but he was really curious, so he couldn't help but open the crock pot and go up to check it.I saw that the earthen jar was filled with fine white sand, which was as crystal clear as snow.Gently knead it with your hands until the particles are even. Seeing that Ye An didn't stop it, Cheng Hui put it in his mouth and tasted it.

"This is... Candy?! But how could Tang do this?" Cheng Hui was shocked.

You must know that in the Northern Song Dynasty, people seldom consumed solid sugar.What most people eat is something called "granulated sugar", which is different from that of later generations. To put it bluntly, it is liquid syrup.Vendors on the street carried them on poles and sold them door-to-door.

The solid sugar eaten by the nobles is called "icing sugar", which is relatively expensive, and only Suining, Sichuan produces more.When Chenghui passed by Suining, he thought about doing icing business, but he gave up the idea after more inquiring.The reason is that although the frosting technology is simple, the frost farmers cannot fully control the production process, resulting in extremely unstable output.It is completely dependent on the sky, and in the end it may even work for a year without any frosting at all.

And even the extremely precious icing sugar is dark brown, how can there be such white sugar! ?

"How did you do it!" Cheng Hui asked excitedly.

Ye An smiled and said nothing, indicating that this is a commercial secret.

Gradually, Chenghui also understood, and stopped asking questions.After thinking for a moment, he frowned and said, "Brother Ye An, I naturally know why you came to me. But this thing is too precious, as long as it is on the market, it will definitely attract the attention of the nobles. I really don't want to sell it. "

It seemed that he answered with great heartache. For a person like Chenghui, not letting him do business would be worse than death.

Ye An smiled slightly: "Oh? Then what if I guarantee that the annual production quantity is enough to supply the entire Bianliang?"

"!!!" Cheng Hui was stunned, rejoiced after making sure the other party was not joking, walked around the room several times, and then said: "What do you want, brother, just say it?"

"Refreshing," Ye An took out the plan he had prepared earlier: "I need a site near Bianliang, which is inaccessible, and has a large amount of stable sugar cane as materials. As for dividends, we can split the accounts."

The first two points are not difficult. The Daxiangguo Temple has an innumerable amount of land, and the Northern Song Dynasty also planted sugarcane on a large scale at this time, and the yield and quality are first-class.But..."Divided into five or five" Chenghui said with narrowed eyes.

It's so dark!Ye An cursed secretly in his heart, if this guy were put into modern times, he would be a Zhou who forced employees to 996.So he tried his best to change the share to four or six.

Although it seemed that Ye An was at a disadvantage, since now he has a stable supply of goods and a guaranteed direct seller, which actually saves a lot of worry.

After finalizing some small details, Chenghui drafted a contract, confirming that it was correct, and the two of them made an appointment to go to the government tomorrow to sign under the witness of the official.

"Come, come! Brother Ye An, we will be partners from now on. Today I will be the host, and I will not return if I am not drunk!" Cheng Hui was overjoyed, he had never signed such a big deal in his life.

"I have offended you so much in the past, I hope Master will forgive me." Ye An cupped his fists.

"Hey, what's your name, Master? My surname is Li. You don't mind calling me Big Brother."

Ye An was kind, and the two of them exchanged cups and drank until late at night.

By the time Ye An walked out, it was already dawn.Touching the deposit in his arms, Ye An smiled. In this way, he could finally buy a house in Beijing and bring his grandma over.
