My years in the Northern Song Dynasty Guozijian

To Ye An's disappointment, after asking around, all the servants said that their dream is to work hard in Ye's family, and they expressed their loyalty by the way.

Waving his hand, indicating that he understood, Ye An continued to look at Mrs. Song Wu.

At this time, Song Wusao was still in a state of confusion, and although she didn't know what the master lord said, she still politely declined: "I am grateful for the kindness of the officials, but the opening of the shop has been discussed with my family a long time ago, so I don't bother you. "

"No, no." Ye An shook his head with an unpredictable expression: "Ms. Song has great ambitions in her heart, but it is not easy to do business in Bianliang. Listen to me, I want to open the store in Little Sweet Water Alley?"

Song Wusao nodded. There are many brothels and Chu houses in Xiaotianshui Lane, and the traffic is very large. She and her family have carefully thought about opening there.

"Ms. Song is thinking about it." Ye An knocked on the table: "You know that in a slightly larger brothel, there are all kinds of food, tea and water."

"Are you serious?" Song Wusao turned pale all of a sudden. She is a woman and she has never been to that kind of place, so it's normal not to know.

"Of course, have you ever seen any big shops in Tianshui Lane?" What's more, in places like Tianshui Lane, most of them are there to find flowers and ask willows, and a few people will care about whether the food is good or not.It's okay to open some small shops, but if it's really a restaurant, I'm afraid it will be very difficult.

"What should I do!" Fifth Aunt Song was about to shed tears of anxiety. She had already paid a large amount of down payment. The house price in Bianliang was so high that it might be difficult to find it again.At this moment, she remembered what Ye An said before, and couldn't help but look at the boy in front of her.

Ye An smiled and said: "Mrs. Song, don't panic, I have a plan. I'll take care of the money, and the profit after that... I want [-]%. Except for the initial business direction, everything in the store is up to you."

"This..." Mrs. Song hesitated. Although the conditions were good, it was contrary to her original intention.

Jin Fu next to her stared at her resentfully, and the officials all spoke, why is she so ignorant!

Ye An shook his head lightly, which is also human nature, so he continued to say: "I know Mrs. Song has great ambitions, but Bianliang is expensive, and it is even more difficult to gain a foothold. Let me promise you, Within three months of opening, you will be famous in Beijing."

Song Wusao had just started to do Ye An's bragging, but seeing his calm demeanor, coupled with what she had seen and heard in Ye's family these days, she knew that this little man was indeed rich, so she was a little skeptical .Jin Fu next to him also kept teasing, but finally couldn't help but nodded.

The two signed the contract immediately, and the moment the handprint was pressed, she regretted a little, and asked tentatively: "Mr. Ye Guan, you said you could be famous...then, how do you do it?"

Ye An just smiled and said nothing, in this era, is there any better sales method than celebrity certification?When the store opened, he would invite the most famous people in Song Dynasty to check in.

……

At this time, Emperor Renzong, the most famous person in Song Dynasty, was looking at the memorial, frowning deeply.Hearing Zhang Mao's report that Ye An asked for a face saint, Renzong was slightly surprised, then smiled again and asked someone to bring the kid in.

Ye An entered the palace, bowed politely, thinking in his heart how to open this mouth to the emperor, he couldn't just say that he wanted to invite the official family to dinner...that would be too strange.

Seeing that his eyes were wandering, Renzong knew that he was probably thinking about something again, so he kept silent to see how long he could hold back.

Sure enough, Ye An couldn't help it anymore, and raised his head to get close to the other party, but he was startled as soon as he rolled his eyes: "Guan... What's wrong with you?" Why are you so haggard.

It was only two or three months since the last time he returned from Xixia to report on his duties. Renzong seemed to have aged several years, his eyes were red, and his mouth was blistered.Being smeared with blue ointment by the imperial physician looked a little funny.

Renzong waved his hand, "It's all about the court affairs."

Ye An was puzzled, recently he had been in the Imperial College calmly, and he hadn't heard of any disputes.But out of prudence and safety, he still didn't open his mouth to ask.

But perhaps because he wanted to find someone to vent, Renzong said on the contrary: "It's not a big deal, it's just those groups of people fighting. No, the past few days have been arguing over the issue of the Western Army."

As we all know, the army of the Northern Song Dynasty is mainly divided into three parts: the forbidden army, the Xiang army, and the township soldiers. Among them, the combat effectiveness of the Xiang army and the township soldiers is relatively weak and can be ignored.As the main force, the Forbidden Army is also divided into three parts-Hebei Forbidden Army, Northwest Forbidden Army, and Central Forbidden Army.Of course, there are also some forbidden troops in the south, but the small number can be ignored.Due to the long-term war against Xia and Liao, the Western Army was able to maintain a strong combat effectiveness, which can be called the trump card of the Northern Song Dynasty.

In recent days, there has been almost no fighting in the court over the departure and stay of the Western Army. The faction headed by Fan Zhongyan hopes to retain all the strength of the Western Army and step up training every day to prevent accidents.The other faction headed by Xia Song hoped to disband part of the Western Army and let them return to their hometowns to farm, and it would not be too late to convene when necessary.

Strictly speaking, both make sense.On the one hand, the current Song Dynasty has signed an agreement with Liaoxia, and the Liao Kingdom has just suffered a defeat, and its national strength is empty.Ningling, the emperor of Xixia, and his minister, Wuzang Yepang, were pulling each other. Both sides wanted to win over the Song Dynasty, so leaving so many soldiers was simply empty-handed.

But the army, if you slack off, it will be difficult to pick it up after a long period of non-drilling. If something happens, you will have no place to cry.

Xia Song is a representative of the Conservative Party, and has always had a lot of opinions on the Qingli New Deal, and now the combination of new and old hatreds is even more serious.

Renzong rubbed his forehead, thinking that the frontiers would be settled, and the Song Dynasty would be able to relax for a while, but he didn't expect things to be endless.

Ye An listened silently, and finally couldn't help but said: "Since this matter is justified on both sides, the officials can completely ignore them. What do you want?"

Renzong was taken aback by his question. He was a good-tempered person himself, and he was used to making peace with mud in court.What's more, since he ascended the throne, he has been subject to the Empress Dowager Liu, and after taking charge of the government, he listened to the words of scholar-bureaucrats.Let him make a decision at this time, I really don't know what to do for a while.But looking at the clear eyes of the young man below, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "Of course I hope to keep the current Western Army."

As an emperor, no matter how stupid and absurd he is, he still values ​​his dragon chair more than anything else.Everyone knows that the Western Army can fight, and with such a magic soldier by their side, they are willing to spend no matter how much money they spend.What's more, due to the tea business recently, the country's wallet has become increasingly rich, and it is not too difficult to raise an army.

"The housekeeper can do as he wishes." You are the emperor, no one in the world can surpass you.

"It's not like this..." Renzong looked complicated, and explained briefly to Ye An: "Although the New Deal implemented last year was indeed beneficial to the people, some people suffered a lot. The court also needs a balance. I will continue to stand on Fan Qing's side. Over there, instead of helping them, they are harming them."

Ye An was stunned. He didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns in the officialdom, and he didn't expect that Renzong seemed to be doing nothing, but in fact he knew it very well.

After thinking about the current situation carefully, Ye An suddenly had an idea: "Keep the Western Army, as long as the division is famous!" Looking at Renzong's puzzled eyes, he continued: "Although there is no battle in the north, we can Go south!"

"Are you going to have intercourse?" Renzong was amused by his whimsy at first, but immediately realized that this was also a solution.

Jiaozhi has been the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty since ancient times. Later, because of the repeated compromises of the Northern Song Dynasty, or simply not paying attention to this area, this place became an independent country, and finally developed into the later Vietnam.Today's Jiaozhi often disturbs the Song border. Although it is said that they were all defeated by the Song army, the Song army also suffered casualties.

Before the Northern Song Dynasty, they were annoyed by being beaten, so they planned to send troops. As a result, every time they sent troops to the south, there was a change in Liaoxia in the north.Now that the two countries are finally in trouble, isn't it a good opportunity to eliminate Jiaozhi?

But Song Renzong was still hesitant, there had been no movement in Jiaozhi for a long time, and he suddenly said that he wanted to pay tribute, and he was afraid that someone would object on the pretext of wasting money and wasting money.

"That's not easy," Ye An said casually: "I remember that there was a man named Nong Zhigao in Tangyouzhou who couldn't bear the oppression and exploitation of Jiaozhi a few years ago, and desperately wanted to belong to Song Dynasty, but the court found it troublesome. I ignored him all the time. Later, I heard that this person founded the country by himself, and still surrendered to the court. Isn’t this a ready-made reason to send troops.”

"I'm afraid they can't be convinced yet." Renzong chuckled: "But it is indeed a way."

There are many ways to get through the thinking. Renzong is more and more satisfied with Ye An now. Well, his character and talent are all first-rate.So he asked, "Did you come here for something?" He signaled to the other party that he had made a contribution, so just speak up if you have anything to do.

"Then I won't be polite." Ye An chuckled: "Official, I want to treat you to dinner."

The author has something to say: the Western Army produced many celebrities in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Yang family general was actually from the Western Army, but many dramas have been adapted.

Because I wrote about Jiaozhi, I was curious to check Vietnam. I didn’t expect Vietnam to be quite powerful. It also belongs to the level of bully in Southeast Asia. It often bullies people ==

In addition, although Vietnam is one of the founders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, many of them consider themselves East Asians...
