Chapter 326
Oshi
Now the door has been opened, but another new problem has come to Chen Yuan's head. Renzong asked himself to be an apprentice. This official position is obviously not prepared for a son-in-law and a top scholar. How did he plan to arrange for himself?
He asked immediately: "Your Majesty, what will happen if the grass people take the exam for fame next year?"
Renzong waved his hand: "It's better not to take the exam. I think you have heard the rumors outside this period. Others say that the top scorer this year must be yours. This is something I didn't expect. If you go to the exam, people who passed the third grade will also think that I took care of it, so it's better not to take the exam."
Chen Yuan had naturally heard of this rumor. He also believed that when such remarks were filled with the examination room next year, it would not only put invisible pressure on those candidates, but also an unfairness to Chen Shimei's own talent!
Renzong continued, "The two things I have given you today are just for exams. If you can handle them very well, after the matter is completed, I will transfer you to the kuo Department."
It is a bit embarrassing the royal face when marrying a princess in his identity. It is not an official, but it is more appropriate to say that he is an official. Chen Yuan knew that his lie was just a ***. After all, he was not a serious exam. Is his abilities convincing? The position of lie is just a platform for him to show his talents initially.
The kuo Department is a relatively leisurely department. Although it also has the title of "department", it cannot compare with the other six departments in terms of power and responsibilities. To put it bluntly, it is a person who is the emperor's family. When the emperor is arrogant, the kuo Department can benefit a little, thinking about where to make some money and where to put the tributes from it.
But the Ku tribe of the Song Dynasty was never arrogant. They thought all day long that they would pay the protection fee to the Liao Kingdom again today. How much is the right way to move out? Which country might be going crazy again tomorrow? What can I give myself some to comfort me?
Compared with the six ministries of officials, households, rituals, soldiers, punishments, and work, even the chief of the warehouse department is smaller. Among all the departments of the warehouse department, there is only this Song Dynasty arsenal, which has barely a little oil and water. Chen Yuan doesn't care about oil and water, but having oil and water means that he has power and status!
This position is not what Chen Yuan wants. He wants to go to the Shiyisi or the Shifangsi. But Renzong has spoken now. Even if he is not satisfied and wants to change his position, he has to show his achievements.
After Chen Yuan received the order, Renzong arrived happily: "You go to the prime minister and open a famous post, and then go directly to Zeng Gongliang tomorrow."
A small guard can take office with Lu Yijian's famous post. Renzong didn't even need to criticize him. He just said hello to Lu Yijian and said hello to Zeng Gongliang.
Walking out of the palace, Chen Yuan smiled slightly and said softly: "Oxy."
He will remember this position. This is the first position he entered the officialdom. The first position is very important. How he performs on this is directly related to whether he will fly, walk, or climb in the future.
The cold wind outside was a little cold, and the night of early winter had already arrived early. Chen Yuan got on the carriage but did not feel a little chill. Even through the dark night, he seemed to see a light ahead of him!
He has already made preparations! Now it has finally begun.
When he returned to the villa, Chen Yuan was surprised! Zhang Kuangzheng and the others were back! When he went out, Chen Yuan tightened his belt and made up his money for them. Now he not only brought himself countless products such as ivory, frankincense, agate, etc. in the Song Dynasty, and also had a surplus of 8,000 taels of silver.
Hu Yanping first brought the shameful Hu Yanqing and others to the back, while Chen Yuan and others gathered around the pile of goods that many people had never seen before, and talked excitedly.
Zhang Kuangzheng's beard was very messy, obviously it had not been combed for a long time, but this did not affect his mood. After taking a sip of the good old wine, a hint of red appeared on his dark face: "Shopkeeper, just this piece of agate, look at the color and the volume, how much do you think you can sell in Da Song?"
Chen Yuan was very sensible and took it over and took it to take a look: "A few, thousands of stakes."
Zhang Kuangzheng smiled, stretched out his thumb at Chen Yuan, and carefully put the agate down: "Then guess what, how much did I spend on buying it?"
Chen Yuan said: "Three hundred?"
Zhang Kuangzheng stretched out a finger: "Ten taels of silver!"
Ten taels of silver are more than one hundred chunks. Only then did Chen Yuan realize that making money like shipping like sea transportation would bring things that were not available in a place, which was simply huge profits!
Zhang Kuangzheng then took an ivory and said, "This thing is even more amazing. You can see that it is inconspicuous now. What are the carved ones that have been brought to us? It will only be a few times the profit. But if you buy it and ask our own craftsmen to make it, I tell you, and if you take it back and sell it, it will not be the price of silver!"
Why was Chen Yuan finally so rich in the Song Dynasty? It was the same as in the 21st century. It relied on advanced technology and earned the processing costs!
Things like agate and ivory passed by the hands of the Song people's craftsmen, and the profit immediately increased dozens of times! He looked at the box of white silver and smiled slightly: "Why, are they all dealings there made of silver?"
Zhang Kuangzheng nodded: "You can also use our Song Dynasty copper coins, but copper coins are not as convenient as silver, and they have to exchange currency with them. We have traveled more than a dozen countries along the way. If we have to exchange money everywhere, it is indeed not convenient. They are not convenient."
Chen Yuan knew that the economy was still at its dominant position, and the hard currency of silver, such as the first choice in foreign transactions. Something suddenly flashed through his head, but it flashed away.
"Brother Zhang, I have worked hard all the way. What are you going to do next?" Chen Yuan asked as he looked at Zhang Kuangzheng.
Zhang Kuangzheng also stared at Chen Yuan: "It depends on what the shopkeeper has. I just heard that you are going to be the prince consort. The emperor is not allowed to do business?"
Chen Yuan shook his head: "It was like this, but things changed just now. I will go to the Prime Minister to issue a famous post tomorrow, and I will take office soon."
"Onsense?" Chen Shizhong and others knew nothing about this news, so they were very curious when they heard this.
Chen Yuan said: "Yes, the Ku Ministry, a little Oshi in the weapons workshop."
Liu Yong's face was quite embarrassing: "Why did you choose such a position?"
Chen Yuan did not talk about this issue again. He knew that Liu Yong must be very disappointed, but there is no need to say anything to him now. The same thing is said, the position is that the poor position is given by others. If you want a good position, you must strive for it yourself!
He turned the topic back and said to Zhang Kuangzheng: "Brothers have worked hard, so let them rest for two months. Brother Zhang, you have to go to Guangzhou again in the past two months. As much money as we make, we can buy more boats!"
Zhang Kuangzheng was very excited when he heard this! He was very afraid that Chen Yuan was like other business people. After making some money, he quickly kept the money in his pocket. In this way, his navigation plan would probably never be implemented in his life!
Now that Chen Yuanken takes out the money and continues to buy a ship, his income should be many times higher next time, and his own ship will be more next time! In a few years, a huge fleet and a group of skilled sailors will be included!
Zhang Kuangzheng nodded quickly: "Okay! Don't worry, the shopkeeper, I'll do it tomorrow!"
This guy was obviously too persistent. After hearing this, Chen Yuan grabbed a bag and packed hundreds of taels of taels from the box of silver: "Don't be so anxious. It's not easy to go back to Bianjing. Take this money and invite friends you should invite. It's best to buy something to visit Mr. Bao and tell him that you are very good. Brother Zhang, no matter what you do, you have to have a degree. Although you are much older than your brother, you have to say something to you. In this world, there is nothing worth leaving everything we pursue! The primary purpose of our survival is to live, and try to make ourselves happy."
Zhang Kuangzheng obviously didn't listen at all: "I'm very happy if you let me run on the sea. I don't have many friends in Bianjing. I'll go see Yang Yi and then visit Mr. Bao."
Chen Yuan was helpless, but as long as he felt happy, it was not a big problem. It was a good thing to like sailing and sailing, and he had no reason to stop him. Although he was a little addicted, it was much better than those young men who were addicted to fireworks and willow alleys.
These cargoes came just in time, and Chen Yuan was about to find the merchants again. The wool from the Liao Kingdom was almost the same. He felt that he was a little uncontrollable now. Even if he sold the wool now, it seemed that the bottom line of the Liao Kingdom had been touched.
In fact, this kind of worry is completely unnecessary. The Liao Kingdom's economy will inevitably suffer a setback this time, but how could the Liao Kingdom be brought down by Chen Yuan all at once after more than a hundred years of its founding?
He can completely let it go for a while, or buy some more.
But this is the case for the first time speculating in the market, including Soros, who became famous in the world in the future, also said that when he first speculated on Allianz stocks, he was also nervous. If we look at it from Soros's perspective, Chen Yuan's hype of wool this time was obviously much more immature.
Chen Yuan really wants to stop now. Another reason why he is in a hurry to stop is that he needs money.
Fighting wool is making money, but in Chen Yuan’s opinion, there are many issues to be concerned about. Since you can intervene in military merits now, since maritime trade can increase your assets several times, why should you speculate on wool?
He also asked these merchants to find out their words and see if they were interested in the Song Dynasty's army. This cake was too big and eating it alone would make people hate it! By the way, he also sold his ships of goods, without having to process them as Zhang Kuangzheng said and then sold them back. Chen Yuan planned to sell them directly to the Song Dynasty merchants. It would be best if someone could eat them in one bite.
Do business? It is better to get back funds faster than earn more.
After talking to Zhang Kuangzheng about what he could say on the table, Chen Yuan immediately went to Hu Yanqing and others to discuss things that he could not say on the table.
