"Wang Xu! He's here? Cao Song heard that there was an acquaintance in the temple, and he was very curious at the moment, but he didn't expect that the master of the precept on the other side would tell him that the acquaintance was Wang Xu, which made him very surprised, thinking that he was really destined for the other party, and he could meet him wherever he went.

"Yes, Wang Jushi came to the temple a little earlier than Cao Jushi, and there were two nobles who came with Wang Jushi, and it was one of them who wanted to meet Cao Jushi." The master of the ring said with a smile, he didn't know the relationship between Wang Shu and Cao Song, but he only knew that they were acquaintances, so he thought that Cao Song would be happy to hear the news.

"Oh, what kind of noble person wants to see me?" Cao Song asked again in surprise when he heard this, but he knew that the monk holding the precepts in front of him was a snob, and ordinary people were afraid that he would not be called a noble person at all.

"Hehe, those two nobles are Mr. Linchuan's father and son, presumably Cao Jushi has also heard of Mr. Linchuan's name, right?" The master of the ring said with a smile, it seems that the arrival of this Mr. Linchuan has made them feel like Jinguang Temple is also full of splendor.

"Mr. Linchuan?" Cao Song was stunned at first when he heard this title, and he didn't react at first, but soon his face showed a little surprise, and he asked loudly at the moment, "Could it be that Wang Anshi, who claims to have enjoyed a reputation in the world for 30 years, and has been recruited by the imperial court several times?" ”

"Hehe, yes, it's Wang Jushi!" When the master of the ring saw Cao Song's surprised appearance, he couldn't help but laugh again. With the imperial court several times to recruit and not to serve, Wang Anshi's name has already spread all over the world, and everyone in the world is proud to know Wang Anshi, even if it is an outsider like the master of the ring, when it comes to Wang Anshi's name, his face also shows an expression of honor.

"It's him, then I want to see him!" Cao Song couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this. He had already heard of Wang Anshi's name, and he also knew that some time ago, the imperial court had recruited him to the court as an official again, but he didn't know why he suddenly came here?

"Huh? No, how could he be with Wang Xu? Could it be ......" Cao Song suddenly thought that Wang Shu was with Wang Anshi at this time, and then thought of when he was in Hezhong Mansion before. I once heard a conversation between Wang Shu and a middle-aged man in Yuweilou, that person seems to be Wang Xu's teacher, could it be that Wang Anshi is Wang Xu's teacher?

Sure enough, as soon as Cao Song thought of this, he saw that the master of the ring held spoke again: "Speaking of which, that Wang Shu layman is really lucky, he was accepted as a disciple by Mr. Linchuan, and this time he went to Beijing with him, so he must be able to become famous in one fell swoop." ”

The Master of the Rings did not know the true identity of Wang Xu, otherwise he would not have said so. After all, whether it is Wang Xu's former identity as a concubine or his reputation among scholars, he has long made him a celebrity among the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty, but because of the matter of Princess Bao'an, he has been ruined, and his reputation in the capital has long been stinky, but this is also what Cao Song can't understand, with Wang Anshi's identity. You should have heard about Wang Xu, but why are you willing to accept him as a student?

Although I don't understand Wang Anshi's intention to accept Wang Shu as a student. However, Cao Song was still very interested in Wang Anshi, and was led by the master of the precepts, and then entered the meditation room together, and just saw a tall middle-aged man sitting there, thinking that it should be Wang Anshi, and there were two young people sitting behind him. One of them is Wang Xu, as for the other young man, he is thin and tall, and his appearance is somewhat similar to Wang Anshi, but his face is a little arrogant, and he should be Wang Anshi's son Wang Yan.

"Kid Cao Song has seen Mr. Linchuan!" Cao Song just came in. Immediately saluted Wang Anshi, although he was born in Jiangmen and is considered a noble child, but the Mr. Linchuan in front of him is a famous Confucian in the world, so he doesn't dare to put on any shelf, but is very respectful.

Seeing Cao Song's courtesy, Wang Anshi couldn't help but nod slightly, he had heard Wang Shu say something about Cao Song's personality before, and his impression of Cao Song was not too good, but now it seems that the other party is not particularly bad.

"Cao Gongzi doesn't have to be polite, Wang heard that Gongzi was coming, so he wanted to invite Gongzi to come and talk about it, but it was a little presumptuous!" Wang Anshi also stood up and said with a smile.

Seeing that a great Confucian like Wang Anshi was so polite to him, Cao Song couldn't help but feel flattered, and said a few polite words again, and then sat down with the master of the ring, and asked at the same time: "I have long heard that the imperial court has recruited Mr. Linchuan again, but I don't know why Mr. Linchuan appeared here?" ”

"Haha, originally Wang didn't have the idea of being a scholar, but he just wanted to teach and learn, but the imperial court was a great military power last year, and he wiped out the confidant Xixia in one fell swoop, which made Wang also excited, and immediately went to the northwest for a trip, and also went to Hezhong Mansion to see in person those tiger and wolf people who destroyed Western Xia, and then returned happy, but I didn't expect to meet Cao Gongzi here." Wang Anshi also laughed at the moment.

"I see, I didn't expect Mr. Linchuan to care so much about the affairs of the Western Xia, but speaking of which, this battle can destroy the Western Xia, and it does greatly increase the prestige of my Song people, I heard that the imperial court has even canceled the New Year's coin of the Liao State, which is really happy!" Cao Song was also very happy to hear this, he was also a person from Jiangmen, and Jiangmen had a close connection with the army, so he also felt honored to be able to destroy Western Xia this time.

"Yes, Wang Mou also heard about the cancellation of the New Year's coin by the imperial court, but I heard that some people in the court did not agree with the cancellation of the New Year's coin, and even forced some ministers with their own prestige. When Wang Anshi said the end, he couldn't help but sigh and said, with his political vision, he naturally saw at a glance the hidden worries behind the students gathering to make trouble.

"Isn't it a good thing that the students forced the imperial court to cancel the New Year's coin?" Cao Song asked with some puzzlement at the moment, he didn't have the keen political vision like Wang Anshi or Ouyang Xiu.

"Hehe, on the surface, it's a good thing, but those students are young and vigorous, and they are originally a group of people who are easy to agitate, this time they can force the court to cancel the New Year's coin, and next time they may force the court again, if it is the next time, then what is the use of the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty!" When Wang Anshi said to the end, his face also showed a fierce color, obviously he did not approve of this kind of student assembly that was not controlled by the imperial court.

"I see, Mr. Linchuan thinks far-reaching!" Cao Song couldn't help but sigh when he heard this. When he said this, Wang Xuan also stepped forward to say hello to Cao Song, but Cao Song didn't have a good impression of him, and replied lukewarmly at the moment, as for that Wang Yan, he was very arrogant and not very enthusiastic about Cao Song, which Cao Song also saw, so he didn't say anything to the other party at all.

"Gongzi Cao, I heard Jin Qing say that before the destruction of Western Xia, you went to Western Xia with the king of the county, it seems that there is something important, I don't know if it is convenient to sue Wang Wang?" Wang Anshi asked again at this time.

"Hehe, this matter is actually not a secret, I went to Xixia completely called by the third brother, in order to open a bank...... "It is not a secret to open a bank, and it is even necessary to publicize it, so Cao Song did not hide it from Wang Anshi, and immediately talked about the opening of the bank, of course, he did not tell some of the functions of Zhao Yan to tell him about the bank, but only focused on his experience of opening a bank in Xixia, and the convenience that the bank brought to those soldiers and the local economy.

"Banks? Isn't this just a money bank? As soon as Cao Song's words fell, before Wang Anshi could speak, Wang Yan behind him was a little disdainful and preemptively said, in his opinion, the so-called bank was actually a money bank jointly run by Zhao Yan and the Cao family, nominally for the convenience of the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, but in fact, it was nothing more than to make money.

"Yan'er is rude, can let the king of Guangyang County personally go to Western Xia, is it comparable to a simple money village?" When Wang Anshi heard his son's words, he glanced at him with some dissatisfaction, although he also felt that the bank and the money bank were somewhat similar, but he vaguely felt that this bank was not simple, but he couldn't see the real role of the bank for the time being.

For Wang Yan's rudeness, Cao Song just glanced at the other party lightly, if it was a few years ago, he would probably be very angry, and even stand up and leave, but after the tempering of the mall in the past two years, his temperament is much calmer, plus Wang Anshi is a person he admires, so he is not angry because of this, but I feel that although this Wang Yan is a little famous, but his temperament is too arrogant, I am afraid that he will suffer a lot in the future.

"Cao Gongzi, Wang just heard that the bank is not only useful for soldiers, but also for ordinary people, especially those businessmen, it is very convenient, but I don't know why it was not opened in the Great Song Dynasty?" After Wang Anshi reprimanded his son, he asked Cao Song again.

"Hehe, Mr. Linchuan doesn't know, the most important thing for the bank is the reputation, this time I went to Xixia, is to use the battle to destroy the Xia, so as to play the bank's reputation among the soldiers, now the bank's reputation has been spread by the mouth of the soldiers, and even many businessmen in the Xixia have begun to deposit money or loans in the bank, it can be said that the reputation has been achieved, this time I came back to open a bank in the capital!" When Cao Song said this, he couldn't help but show an excited expression on his face, and as he learned about the banking business, he also felt more and more that the bank was not simple, which also made him full of confidence in his future.

"I see, the king of Guangyang is really thoughtful." Wang Anshi couldn't help but admire when he heard this, and then he suddenly smiled at Cao Song and said, "Wang entered Beijing this time, and the person he wants to get to know the most is His Royal Highness the King of Guangyang County, I wonder if Gongzi Cao can introduce him on his behalf?"
