Chapter 496: Secret Meeting

Of course, the royal family also has to sacrifice and sweep, "In the first half of the month of the ban, the palace is full of people, chariots and horses, and the close relatives of the southern class of the clan are also sent to the tombs of the tombs to enjoy the worship, and everyone is purple shirts and white silk triangles are entangled, and they are all given by officials."

The festival is also forbidden to go out of the carriage and horse, and the Taoist of the first temple is enshrined in the tombs of the palaces. ”

Therefore, a lot of the preparation work needs to be done by the supervisor.

What kind of gold decoration, brocade bead curtains, embroidered fans double cover, paper pavilions and the like, are indispensable.

In addition, it is necessary to prepare jujube picks, cooking cakes, yellow fat, falling knives, famous flowers and fruits, mountain pavilion theater equipment, these things are called "soil outside the door".

The sedan chair of the nobles in the palace should be topped with willow mixed flowers, and the four sides should be shaded.

Moreover, Zhao Ji personally named the food for this cold food, and the food for this cold meal will not be in the dining room, and will be prepared by the general as a supervisor.

The pastry takeaway in Bianjing Sanhualou is now also very famous.

There are too many ways to make money from Su You, such as cakes, bread and peaches, but the profits are actually very huge.

Su oil is too lazy to eat alone, when Shuzhong is operated by Wenshufang, Bianjing is vegan and handed over to Daxiangguo Temple, and meat oil is handed over to Sanhualou.

In the usual style, he only needs 20% of the income, and the rest should be earned by others.

In previous years, the Fang Market in Bianjing City during the Qingming Festival generally sold thick cakes, wheat cakes, cheese, quiches and the like. Nowadays, the varieties of Daxiangguo Temple and Sanhualou, there are no less than twenty or thirty kinds, two places and three shifts are down, this pastry can not be supplied, three days before the cold food, there is a long queue in front of the door before dawn.

However, Zhao Ji's words made the dining room in the house embarrassing.

This matter offended people for no reason, so Su You had no choice but to make a request to let the inner dining room be the supervisor, and divided into two teams, all the way in the Sanhualou, all the way in the Daxiangguo Temple, on the evening of the day before the Cold Food Festival, personally responsible for supervising the production of special food.

For this matter, Shang Gong shook his head and praised, just from this incident, it can be seen that the future of our Xiao Su Tanhua is definitely not as simple as a prisoner.

Look at the things that you guys have been blinded by lard, you eat stupidly all day long, but you have a bit of cleverness? As soon as the official family came to the idea, you had no idea?

It's no wonder that people can make more meritorious contributions outside, just looking at this favor, it's too transparent.

At the end of February, the price of salt in Bianjing suddenly fluctuated, and a pound rose sharply from 35 copper coins on weekdays to 40 Wen.

According to common sense, at this time, the official warehouse should put salt to calm the price, but this time the government has not taken action, the reason is said to be that it is preparing for the issuance of treasure banknotes, and the salt warehouse in Beijing will be used as a hard currency reserve for balancing.

Then, there was a rumor in the market, saying that the old introduction will be invalidated, and then it will be replaced by treasure banknotes, and now the only way is that the bank treasure banknotes and Shu banknotes will be exchanged at a certain interest rate, so Shu banknotes are the only currency that can be held today in addition to copper coins, gold and silver.

Overnight, there was a long queue in front of the Sitong business, all of whom were merchants who came to exchange Shu banknotes, waving salt in their hands and asking for exchange!

The people in the market began to frantically grab shopping materials, salt, soy sauce, pickles, salted fish, bacon, as long as it was a little salty, they couldn't wait to move it home.

It seems that the salt on the market has suddenly increased a lot, and the corresponding consequences are a large decrease in the currency in circulation, as well as the sudden depreciation of salt banknotes!

On the one hand, the salt money is depreciating, and on the other hand, the price of salt is rising, which feels like the salt farms in Jiezhou, Shuzhong, and Huaiyang have suddenly stopped production!

The panic continued to spread, and by the last day of February, the price of salt had reached an insane fifty cents! And the salt introduction fell to 20 wen per catty!

The officialdom began to be uneasy, the imperial historians began to prepare, and everyone knew that this time someone would definitely be in danger!

In the evening of the same day, a horse-drawn carriage slowly drove into Nantong Lane.

The carriage entered Hefuxiang directly, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old heroic young man in arrow sleeve riding clothes got out of the carriage.

Seeing such a glamorous building shop, and then seeing the snow-white pear blossoms blooming brightly in the bluestone compound, I couldn't help but smile: "Uncle Huang is such a big industry!" ”

Yu Dalang helped the young man down: "Lord Wang, Liu Weng of the Guogong family is the head of the banknote line, and this kind of style should also be." ”

Shopkeeper Liu came over and arched his hand: "The villain greets the prince." ”

The young man is the second son of Zhao Hao, the king of Chang, Zhao Shu and Gao Taotao of Song Yingzong, who is talented and studious.

Good books, good books. The calligrapher flies white body and is good at archery.

The end is both civil and military.

In fact, there is also a Cao Wang Zhao Hao below him, who is also the biological son of the Empress Dowager Gao, who is dignified and pure, and is good at painting and writing. The ink and bamboo drawings drawn, the position is cleverly changed, it should be naïve, the role is vertical and horizontal, and the work is all created. You Jing Seal, there are all six pieces of the book of a word, the pen is handsome, can be described as amazing, not to learn and know.

But the strange thing is that Gao Taotao is neither like the royal family who loves the eldest son, nor like the people who love the younger son, but prefers the middle one.

Zhao Hao raised his chin: "Let's be less polite, the small and medium people in the court advocate chaos, and the people are miserable." Now that the price of salt is fifty wen a catty, dare to ask the hundred years of the founding of the dynasty, is there such a terrible thing? As the head of the bank, how does the shopkeeper Liu guide the banknote to do things? ”

Shopkeeper Liu smiled and said, "What else can the villain do?" It's not just about releasing more salt, I hope that the merchants will hurry up and transfer it from Jiezhou, which has already released 600,000 yuan, which can be regarded as doing their best for the emperor and Song. ”

Zhao Hao laughed loudly: "It's crazy, but I like it!" Uncle Huang has arrived? ”

Shopkeeper Liu bowed: "I have been waiting for the prince in Yashe for a long time." ”

Zhao Hao said: "Good for you, a slave born in a family, dare to make Uncle Huang wait for a long time!" Lead the way! ”

A few people went up to the third floor, but saw a middle-aged man in purple standing in front of the glazed burning beast, carefully examining this colorful bronze artifact.

Hearing the footsteps, the middle-aged man turned his head, it was the current emperor's uncle, with the Zhongshu Sect under the Ping Zhangshi, Jiqing Military Festival Envoy, the inspection of the school Shangshu Zuo Servant, Zhao Zongge, the Duke of the State of Qiu.

When Zhao Zongge saw Zhao Hao, he shook his head and admired: "In the clan, Erlang is heroic, every time I see you, I can't help but sigh, the best in the world is still my youth." ”

Zhao Hao bowed his hand: "Uncle Wan'an." ”

Zhao Zongge beckoned Zhao Hao to take a seat: "I can't settle down, now I sprinkle 100,000 salt every day, like a landslide and a river. ”

Zhao Hao said: "Uncle Huang smiled, the salt leads 100,000 guan and 100,000 guan out, this refined salt is thousands of catties into the inside, this is called the loss outside the embankment, and the embankment is replenished?" ”

"Small fights, small fights." Zhao Zongge added tea to Zhao Hao: "Erlang, the heat is almost there, right?" ”

Zhao Hao said: "On March 1, the imperial brother wants to drive Jin Mingchi, I think it is an opportunity." ”

Zhao Zongge nodded: "Several poor imperial historians also received money and promised to impeach the Ji Si for disorderly government and indiscriminate restructuring, which led to soaring prices in Bianjing and boiling public resentment. ”

Zhao Hao said: "That is, Tang Jie's old man was born poor, and his family is afraid that it is so cold that he can't collect a thousand times, how to control the millions of flowing water?" The royal brother is worried about national affairs, but he can't help but be a little more careful, after all, Sitong is an outsider, and the national wealth is not controlled by the clan, so it is handed over to outsiders to operate, what is the reason? ”

Zhao Zongge slapped his thigh: "That's right!" Among the clans, the person who can be in charge of the Imperial Song Bank is none other than Erlang! ”

Zhao Hao sighed: "The Imperial Historian only knows the disadvantages of his duties, but he can't come up with a solution. Aren't we still the ones who worry about the country and the people? Alas...... I said to move out of the palace to avoid my brother's suspicion, but the mother just didn't listen, many things, although worried, but I didn't dare to mention it......"

Zhao Zongge secretly scolded: "Little fox! But his face echoed loudly: "Mention! Must mention! Erlang feels inconvenient, I'll be my uncle when I say this! However, it is not ......"

Zhao Hao said: "The imperial brother is only twenty, we are even younger, and in the clan, we still have to rely on the old people to operate." In my uncle's generation, who is willing to come out and do good things, who can be? Aren't you just Uncle Huang? Therefore, this position of the great sect should have been picked up by the emperor's uncle. ”

Zhao Zongge suddenly smiled: "Where is it, in fact, it's not all for the dignity of the heavenly family?" Erlang, uncle is all for you this time......"
