Su You chuckled: "So, as a human being, you can't be careless..."

After saying that, he felt that he was too explicit, so he coughed lightly and said earnestly: "Yuan Chang, you think too badly of people. It is clearly Lu Shenzheng who is sincerely serving the country, and he believes that I will not retaliate, so he sent his subordinates to the police."

Skilled personnel were transferred to Liangzhe Road to help me."

"And with Wang Xianggong intervening, he believes we can get along well."

Cai Jing seemed to have heard the best joke: "Ming Gong, you are so witty! But after the Zhejiang incident is revealed, Lu Jifu may really say this and completely shirk his responsibility."

Su You said: "It's not that I'm being funny, I'm afraid that's what Wang Xianggong thinks now. If I kindly remind him, he might think that I'm sowing discord."

Cai Jing nodded: "This is entirely possible, but this is Lu Huiqing's negligence in this arrangement."

"This is enough to show that he believes that he has matured and is satisfied with his ambition, and no longer values ​​and relies on Wang Xianggong's influence on the court situation."

Su You said: "The more we go further, let's talk about what we should do first."

Cai Jing said: "Since Ming Gong doesn't want to be a villain in vain, let's write down this account first."

"Business matters are business--I sent it to Zeng Brujia in the form of an order from the Transportation Department, saying that Zhejiang's affairs are heavy and the two states are in urgent need of cadres to boost them. I urge them not to delay on the road and rush to their posts immediately!"

Then he bowed to Su You and said: "Ming Gong can take care of the finances of central Zhejiang by himself, and leave these two people to the Water Conservancy Department to deal with them."

Su You nodded, "Treacherous Minister, I am optimistic about you: "Okay, I will rely on you for these two people... Qian family invites you to a banquet today, Yuan Chang will go with me?"

Cai Jing pretended to be modest: "Isn't it necessary?"

Su You pulled him: "It's also related to the Water Resources Department, let's go, let's go."

There are many great sights in Hangzhou, the famous ones include Meitang, Jinshan Temple, Shouxing Temple, Faxiyuan...

The banquet place today is Sanrui Hall, which is located at Fengqiao to the west of Changmen.

The owner's name is Yao Chun, a well-known local gentry known for his benevolence and filial piety.

When Su You arrived, Yao Chun and Qian Kejiu, the head of the Qian family, were already waiting here.

The Sanruitang garden is very elegant, and Yao Chun led the way: "On the day when Zizhan visited Hangzhou, he often came to visit the garden and admire it. There is also a piece of "Sanruitang Poem" left, which is now treasured at home."

Su You nodded: "It is indeed elegant. It takes a lot of effort to run a courtyard like this."

Yao Chun said: "It is a joke to talk about gardens in front of Duke Ming. I heard that the harems of the two empress dowagers in Beijing, the villas, the manor of Sima Xianggong in Luoyang, and the rich husband were all designed by Duke Ming?"

Su You said with a smile: "I was just trying to be clever. I have always believed that the elegance of a garden does not lie in the accumulation of valuables, but in making people feel comfortable and happy, close to the way of nature, and having poetry and music.

Beauty.”

After speaking, he raised his hand and gestured to a Taihu stone in the front of the garden: "For example, that stone is too close to the center line and looks too rigid. If it is moved to one-third of the courtyard, it will be more natural."

Yao Chun quickly called to his servants: "Quick, quick, quick, rearrange that stone according to what Commander Yun said."

The Taihu stone is not small, so it took some effort, but after moving it, the whole garden suddenly became more interesting.

Qian Kejiu praised: "It's really a wonderful stroke! It looks much more comfortable this way."

Yao Chun smiled and said: "Yao's West Garden will leave a good story again."

Arriving at a painting building near the water in the garden, all the gentry came to meet Su You.

Qian Kejiu introduced everyone one by one, and they were all the upper class people in Hangzhou City.

After drinking for three rounds, Yao Chun presented a tray with a thousand-character calligraphy in Jin Dynasty and ten fragrant pills.

Yao Chun said: "The master's skill has made the flowers in the West Garden shine. A few small gifts are not respectful."

Su You took the calligraphy to look at it, and took the fragrant pills to smell them one by one. He also admired them very much: "Everything is good. It's not like Mingrun doesn't know Yao Gong's sincerity. It's just the way of the family. It's not because he's high on the cliff."

Zizhan and I are both the same."

After saying this, he greeted Zhang Qi, took out a private seal, and said with a smile: "I will add a seal at the end of the continuation of this Dharma book to show that I have appreciated it. After reading it, I own it. It's the same."

Everyone praised it and realized that Yao Chun had made a profit. Tanhualang's mark was added to the Dharma book, so it was time to pay a premium again.

Hangzhou's cuisine is light and unique, but there is no such thing as West Lake vinegar fish and Longjing shrimp. The white fish from Taihu Lake is quite good.

The influence of the Sichuan economic circle on Huaiyang, Suzhou and Hangzhou is reflected in wine.

However, people in Hangzhou today are not used to drinking such strong wine. Smart merchants purchased spirits from Sichuan and soaked them with various fresh fruits and dried fruits to turn them into sweet and soft fruit wine.

This kind of fruit wine is completely different from the crude and turbid fruit wines of the Song Dynasty. When it is served in a glass, it looks like various gems. It is quite popular among the wealthy people in Zhejiang and Zhejiang.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, and a beautiful concubine singing as a company, Su You finally experienced the comfortable life of the wealthy people in Suhu.

Seeing that the heat was almost over, Qian Kejiu cautiously mentioned the matter of thousands of hectares of land in Kunshan: "Shaobao, the new law of the court is under the banner of suppressing annexation. These lands are not a small amount. What we are most afraid of is that the order will be changed overnight...

…”

This is a rare item from the Song Dynasty. The founding Marquis Su You nodded: "The Marquis is very worried, but we need to look at this separately. There is actually a difference between a annexed family and a wealthy family."

"In the past, we did not mention that the three thousand hectares of land now are not owned by the people, but were purchased by Sitong Company and then developed. This is normal business behavior. Who is annexed? Sitong Company

?What kind of joke is this?”

Everyone nodded quickly: "Exactly."

"Secondly, this transaction is a special case. The purpose of the transaction is to raise food to relieve the victims. This itself has a certain charitable nature. I also want to go to the court to commend the gentry who enthusiastically went out to buy food."

Everyone nodded quickly: "Exactly."

"Furthermore, this is also a demonstration of my work style when I first arrived in Hangzhou. People who know me and people who know Sitong Company know that win-win, multiple win, and win-win are the goals we pursue. The lower-class households must get rid of

Poverty-stricken households should develop industries, so that we can benefit everyone."

Everyone nodded quickly: "Exactly."

"So, this time the field can only be purchased with grain. It will be delivered in Suzhou. We will pay and deliver the goods. Everyone, this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We will calculate it based on the average annual output, one acre.

Six hundred kilograms of rice are ready!"

Everyone nodded quickly: "Exactly."

Then you looked at me and I looked at you, with awkward expressions on their faces. Damn, they nodded to show their inertia. How to bargain now? We agreed to lower the price together...

Seeing everyone's faces, Su You smiled: "What? Do you think you are at a disadvantage?"

Qian Kejiu was a little surprised: "Ming Gong, can you lower it again? You see, if we are in a hurry to raise money, the price of food will definitely rise..."

"Don't worry!" Su You said, "Food prices can't rise."

Seeing everyone's confusion, Su You said: "It's not that the government is out of food. The food in the Changping warehouse can last for a year without any problem. It's just that the system is limited. Before the price of food moves, the Changping warehouse cannot be moved.

"

"So you can rest assured, once the price of grain rises, I, Chang Pingcang, will have a reason to open a position to stabilize the price of grain!"

"Also, there is still time. The rice will not be ready until July, and June is the most difficult time. If you bring grain from Jinghu now, it will be completely late."

"On the other side of Jinghu Lake, people have just returned from Jisi Prefecture, and all kinds of businesses are beginning to flourish. There are many commodities in need, and the one they need most is salt. It just so happens that the most abundant product in Zhejiang is salt!"

Yao Chun said: "But this salt is specially discussed by the imperial court..."

Su You explained: "As I said before, win-win. Today, the Song Dynasty produces 300 million kilograms of salt a year, two-thirds of which is produced in the southeast."

"And how much salt did the Song Dynasty need in a year? 'Twelve pounds per year for a big mouth, half a pound for a small mouth.'"

"In addition to seasonings, pickled foods, processed medicinal materials, and agricultural and animal husbandry needs, there is now another big head, and that is the chemical industry."
