A light four-wheeled carriage ran over the bluestone road outside Kaifeng City.

The two four-wheeled carriages that Wu Haowen rode in were carefully built by the skilled craftsmen who served as prisoners, according to the style of the carriages loaded with gold and silver brought by Ji Yi from Haizhou. The fine wood is selected, the workmanship is very fine, the roof is inlaid with carvings, the body is painted with colorful paintings, and the wheels are nailed with thin iron sheets from the Jiehe Commercial Market, which runs over the slightly uneven bluestone ground, making a gurgling sound, but the driving is extremely smooth. In today's Kaifeng City, there are only a few high-end four-wheeled carriages produced by the general. In addition to Zhao Ji's own use, which was to reward several princes and prime ministers, Wu Haowen, the marshal of the sea route, actually got one.

It seems that the official family's favor for their own family has not diminished in the slightest!

Wu Haowen closed his eyes in the carriage and stared. Thinking about yesterday in the Qionglin Palace, the official family said that after Wu Haogu arrived in Kaifeng Mansion, he would personally drive to the martial arts mansion on the bank of the Jinshui River.

For a courtier, it is an incomparable honor to be able to take over in his own mansion!

However, this honor did not dazzle Wu Haowen's mind, Zhao Ji was already familiar with the Jinshuihe mansion of the Wu family, and he didn't know how many times he had been there. This time it's just a public itinerary, making a gesture, and telling the civil and military officials that they still trust Wu Haogu very much.

But such a gesture, no matter how you look at it, it means that there are no three hundred taels of silver here!

Wu Haowen has been a Jinshi for three years of Yuanfu, and has been in the office for ten years now, although there have always been people covering him, and he has not gone through real storms. But haven't you ever eaten pork and never seen a pig run? The turmoil in the officialdom is weird, and Wu Haowen is familiar with it. How can you not know that being a subordinate must always experience the truth of the will?

For this Song-Liao dispute, the intention is to compromise...... If his brother spends two or three million to send Yelu Yanxi away in private, the official family will definitely be able to treat him as usual.

But he just came up with a way that made the official family feel distressed to death, and he had to grit his teeth to accept it. The method is good, but the official family really doesn't have the arrogance to this extent!

This is a million ...... It's a thorn in Zhao Ji's heart!

When he was sighing, the carriage was already outside the painting immortal view, and it stopped abruptly.

"Erlangjun, the painting immortal has arrived."

The shout of a Yuan Sui summoned Wu Haowen out of his thoughts. Wu Haowen came to meet Wu Haogu, who had just arrived in Kaifeng Mansion last night.

Because of the "urgency of the military situation", Wu Haogu did not rush slowly this time, but came to travel day and night. When I arrived in Kaifeng Mansion, it was exactly night. So I didn't enter the city, but went directly to the painting fairy temple outside Kaifeng Mansion to rest.

In the morning, he sent people into the city to inform Wu Haowen, Su Dalang, Zhang Zeduan and others, and asked them to go out of the city to meet each other.

When Wu Haowen arrived, Wu Haogu was discussing with Su Dalang, the big treasurer he left in Kaifeng Mansion, as well as his disciple Zhang Zeduan and Mi Youren, who was guarding filial piety at home, about how to develop Jiehe Bank and Jingdong Bank.

This 10,000,000 large order can not only promote a round of industrial upgrading in Jiehe Commercial City. From a free trade city dominated by commerce and trade, it has developed into an embryonic industrial city. It will also allow Jiehe Commercial City and Jingdong Commercial Market to be upgraded to financial centers.

This is the transfer and transfer of 10,000,000 yuan!

If we can take advantage of the trend to establish a relatively rudimentary banking and financial system in Jiehe Commercial City and Jingdong Commercial City, and absorb these funds, then the capitalist leading position of Jiehe Commercial City and Jingdong Commercial Market will be completely established.

In this capitalism, there must be a special industry to manage and operate capital, right? If you operate well, not only will the cost of capital be reduced, but the efficiency will also be improved. It is even possible to end the silk standard in the Jiehe trading market and change it to a more stable gold and silver standard.

As the Great Song Dynasty "owned the four seas", overseas trade would continue to import gold and silver. With enough gold and silver, it became possible to mint gold and silver currency and implement the gold and silver standard.

When the three of them were chatting energetically, Guo Xiaoxiao led Wu Haowen in from outside the study, "Master, the second master is here." ”

"Second brother, come and sit down." Wu Haogu smiled and greeted his increasingly wealthy brother, "Is the family okay?" How many more brothers and sisters have given birth to you? And our third child is about to open up, right? Are you going to study in a new school or an old school? ”

The two brothers, Wu Haogu and Wu Haowen, have been competing to have children in recent years. Last year, Olga, Luo Hanwen, Du Wenyu and Guo Xiaoxiao all added children to Wu Haogu. Olga gave birth to a boy named Ironheart. Luo Hanwen gave birth to a daughter Xianniang, and Du Wenyu and Guo Xiaoxiao both gave birth to sons, named Wu Tie'an and Wu Daoren respectively.

And Wu Haowen's "grades" are better! There are more wives and concubines than Wu Haogu, there are more than twenty in total, and they are all very young when they enter the door, it is a good time to give birth and raise, and they have given birth to more than 20 for Wu Haowen! However, there are only fifteen still alive, one more than Wu Haogu.

"I gave birth to two more girls, and I have to accompany a lot of dowries." Wu Haowen smiled bitterly, "But there are three more who are pregnant, and I don't know if I can add a few more with handles...... As for the third brother, the official family has already issued an edict to let him join the Zishan Hall to study. ”

"What? Did the third child go to read with him? How can it be? ”

Wu Haogu was stunned for a moment, and thought: My son or Wu Erlang's sister-in-law will enter the Zishan Hall to read to the prince, and the two of us are big officials. But how could Wu Haode be his turn? His father is just a little Beijing official!

Can you still follow my brother in this matter? No, you have to have your father die to be like your father. Now Lao Wu is alive and kicking, probably walking around outside, his body has been exercised, he is much stronger than in the past, and he also has several concubines in Suzhou City...... How can the third brother be like a father?

"Big brother, that's the blessing of the third brother, we can't envy it, let him go, maybe he will be a high-ranking official again in twenty years." Wu Haowen hurriedly changed the topic, "By the way, this time the official family has given our family a fat shortage!" Ten thousand...... Big brother, how much are you going to fish? ”

How much to catch!?

Wu Haogu was even more stunned. This doesn't sound like Wu Haowen said it at all! Wu Haowen is a clean official, even when he was slacking off in Xiuzhou, he never did anything corrupt - the dirty work of corruption, Wu Chengzhi did it in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and he didn't need Wu Haowen to do it himself, Wu Haowen just "gnawed the old". Could it be that there are too many concubines and children in the family, and it is not enough to spend? By the way, there must be too many sons who want to buy a house in Kaifeng Mansion.

It's a lot of pressure! I have to help my brother with this.

"Second brother," Wu Haogu looked at his younger brother, "what are you...... Short on cash? Is it to buy a house? If you want to use money to tell your brother, you can still get hundreds of thousands of dollars. ”

Wu Haowen shook his head, "Big brother, what are you talking about?" Will I be short of money? The minister's money for the sea route commander alone is 30,000 yuan a year, and the ministers of the court and the central government don't have this amount. ”

Wu Haogu thought: The housing price of Kaifeng Mansion is still incomparable! You have so many sons, I'm afraid that if you give a "Shikumen" to a person, it will be gone if it is hundreds of thousands.

"Big brother, I mean you have to make a little money," Wu Haowen said with a frown, "You have to have a posture of retreating bravely......"

Now Wu Haogu understands what's going on.

"You want me to defile myself?"

"I can't talk about it," Wu Haowen shook his head, "Big brother, you're not a clear stream, it's nothing to make a little money?" The key is to buy a mansion in Kaifeng Mansion and buy more beauties. Only in this way can the officials be reassured......"

"He's not at ease anymore?"

Wu Haowen sighed and gave Su Dalang a look, and Su Fatzi said with a smile: "Xuan Shuai, you know the thoughts of the official family better than us...... Tens of thousands! He doesn't say anything on his face, but his heart hurts! ”

Wu Haogu smiled: "If it's two or three million, the official family should regret it in a decade or two." ”

The money for rectifying Hebei's defense will not be spent in vain, and as long as the money is used on the blade, the shame of Jingkang should not happen. The Northern Expedition to Japan will go much smoother.

Mi Youren, the eldest disciple of Wu Haogu, also said: "Teacher, Uncle Shi's words do make sense!" Even if the official family is not unhappy, you have to leave a way back...... It is the practice of our dynasty that the wealth and the release of military power are the norms, and if you make some preparations, he can rest assured.

It's best to ask the official family for a piece of land, and the beauties can also ask for a few, so it's good! ”

"Second brother, Brother Yin, Da Lang," Wu Haogu also knew that his brother, Mi Youren and Su Dalang were all kind, "I will let people handle what you say...... We also have to learn from Wang Jian and don't let the officials be suspicious. ”

It would be nice to learn from Wang Qian's degree! Wu Hao Wenxin said: Wang Jian has succeeded in destroying Chu, big brother, can you destroy the Khitan?

When a few people were talking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then Guo Xiaoxiao reported: "Master, Liang Daguan is from the palace." ”

Liang Daguan is Liang Shicheng, he was ordered by Zhao Ji to come to Xuanwu Haogu to enter the palace.

When Wu Haogu followed Liang Shicheng to the Chongzheng Palace, Genghis Emperor Zhao Jizheng and Zhang Shuye, Wang Yu, and Ji Yi studied military affairs around the sand table in the side hall.

Emperor Genghis, of course, you have to understand military affairs!

But what made him, as well as Zhang Shuye, Wang Yu, and Ji Yi, puzzled was that Yelu Yanxi was obviously already stationed in Xijin Mansion, why didn't he go south to approach Jiehe Shang City? Moreover, not only did it not go south, but even the trade of the Jiehe trading market was not interrupted......

What is the idea of the Emperor of Liao?

Do you want to continue the peace talks and ask for money, or do you want to accumulate strength in Xijin Mansion and prepare to succeed in one fell swoop?

Or just wait until winter and the Boundary River freezes before heading south? So why did he send troops so early?

Just when several people were puzzled, Wu Haogu was brought into the main hall by Liang Shicheng.
