Zhao Xu did not interrupt and continued to listen to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was chosen by Zhu Qianzhen, and he obviously had two tricks. Although the accounts were chaotic, the final conclusion was that he made a profit of 70,000 guan.

Seventy thousand jins, equivalent to seventy thousand silver, which is a considerable number!

The shopkeeper is quite complacent. Meng Tang did not mention his identity as a uncle, but also the general "instructor". He performed well and would definitely be "renewed"!

Meng Tang glanced at Zhao Xu and said, "Who are your customers, mainly?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "The main ones are local vendors, all big merchants, and the family behind them are officials. They have deposits, withdrawals and loans. The reputation of the semicolon has gradually become popular. I expect that at most two years, the savings of the semicolon will exceed two million!"

Two million coins are really a huge sum of money, and for this shopkeeper, it is a performance!

Meng Tang disagreed. Compared with the tens of millions of prides in Kaifeng Prefecture and the two millions of prides in Yingtian Prefecture, it is too pediatric and cannot help much.

Meng Tang glanced at Zhao Xu again and said with a little thought: "Two millions are too little. The goal should be set a little higher, at least five million."

The shopkeeper was shocked and said, "Uncle Guo, this is no joke. Five million guan is not a small amount in Bianjing, right? I know the general number. That is the inner treasury of the official family and the support of the imperial treasury. Not to mention Yingtian Mansion, you are hard to go. Not to mention two million, even one million cannot be collected. Suzhou Prefecture is the most prosperous, but if the gentry and wealthy families there do not save, they will still be out of money..."

Zhao Xu heard similar words more than once.

‘Are you poorer the more you go south?’ Zhao Xu slowly thought in his heart.

The economic situation of the Song Dynasty was obviously heavy in the north and light in the south, especially the Kaifeng Prefecture area. In the south, although Suzhou Prefecture was named as the world, the Taihu Lake was not developed enough. Only Suzhou Prefecture has a prosperous economy, and there were few grain harvests.

In addition, Suzhou Prefecture is now located near the sea and is not around Taihu Lake.

Meng Tang frowned secretly when he saw the shopkeeper's bitterness.

If he knew that the person sitting was not a noble man in the capital, but a current official, let alone five million, he would probably have to pat his chest and guaranteed it.

Zhao Xu raised the folding fan and stopped Meng Tang. He smiled and said to the shopkeeper: "Two million is indeed a lot. Do you think the reason why Yingtian Mansion’s semicolon is not as good as Kaifeng Mansion, besides the support of the court and the officials, is there any other reason?"

The shopkeeper was quite polite to Zhao Xu and said, "You guy, you don't know anything. Don't look at the bustling city in this city. If you leave the city, the counties will be a different situation, and then to the small towns, it will be even more different. The money here is all in the hands of the gentry and the people rely on these gentry and the people live on. If we want to grow bigger, we have to rely on these gentry and the gentry and the gentry and the gentry and the gentry and the gentry will not be able to survive, and our business will not be completed, and we may even be driven back to Kaifeng..."

Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows and said, "They are not a family, can they decide whether to stay or not? They are not ordinary people. Besides, ordinary people can and will not offend a big family and have no way to survive, right?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Young Master is from Bianjing. This is a big family. It is always a big family. It is enough to offend one. If a big family says a few words, ordinary people really have no way out and can only go out to be refugees. Besides, we are not familiar with Yingtian Mansion and have no official care. If we offend a big family, it is actually difficult to gain a foothold. This big family must have something to do with the government. If we make a few troubles, we can't stand it..."

Zhao Xu could think of something, but he didn't expect it to be serious here, so he looked at Meng Tang.

Meng Tang bowed, hesitated, and said, "The main thing is a dark method, and it's still easy to live on the surface."

When it comes to dark methods, Zhao Xu understands it.

If you want to mess with a foreign merchant and a local tyrant who is responsible for the official, it will be terrible in this era!

The shopkeeper obviously noticed Meng Tang's movements, looked a little surprised, and began to look at Zhao Xu seriously and guess his identity.

The one who made the Queen’s younger brother bend over is definitely not an ordinary person!

Zhao Xu thought for a while, looked at the shopkeeper again, and said with a smile: "Have you worshiped the dock?"

The shopkeeper smiled a little more and said, "I'm going to know that my grandson has just come here for a while. I have made nearly a thousand guan in all aspects of the official, local, and treating guests and giving gifts."

"Does Yingtian Mansion have special care semicolons? I remember that the Ministry of Revenue seemed to have posted a message at the beginning." Zhao Xu asked.

The shopkeeper hesitated and said, "You can't even talk about taking care of him, but you're always a little polite."

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, turned to look at Meng Tang, and said, "I will disappear from the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture. Send someone to understand the prices in Yingtian Prefecture in clear terms, and then send a letter to the Ministry of Revenue, and ask the Ministry of Revenue to order Yingtian Prefecture to summarize the results and gains and losses of the implementation of the "new policy". I want to see."

"Okay." Meng Tang responded.

The shopkeeper looked at him and couldn't help but look at Zhao Xu again.

Can you make your uncle bend over and command your uncle? Is this young man very unusual in his identity?

Zhao Xu didn't ask again, got up and walked towards the back of the yard.

Meng Tang and others had already prepared the order, and he lived in Yingtian Mansion in this Royal Pills and Semi-Code.

The fleet will repair the ships, and also replenish food, vegetables, etc.

Li Ke took his daughter around the streets and alleys of Yingtianfu, looking for something Zhao Xu asked him to check.

Li Qing didn't have the pressure of the task, so he ran around, looking at this and that, but he didn't chase his father to buy it, just curious.

Obviously, the little girl doesn't go out often at home and is curious about many things.

Li Ke is now the censor of the Censorate. Zhao Xu ordered him to investigate all aspects of Yingtian Prefecture's implementation of the "Shaosheng New Policy". He needed to draw a conclusion in one day without contacting local officials and exposing his identity.

In the past, Li Ke was a standard civil servant. He sat in the duty room and rarely experienced the real suffering of the people. He walked around Yingtian Mansion and came to a teahouse, sat drinking tea, and thought quietly.

He knew that with such a simple wandering, he could not find what Zhao Xu needed him to find.

After thinking about it, Li Ke suddenly stood up, pulled up the food and said, "Let's go."

"I haven't finished my meal yet..." Li Qing shouted. Li Ke didn't care about him at all, rented a carriage, and went out of the city directly.

The Yingtianfu semicolon of the Royal Piao number, the second floor of the backyard.

Zhao Xu took a shower, went some fatigue, lay on the soft chair, watching the song "Danime" turned from.

"Not unexpected..."

Zhao Xu looked at Su Song's memorial, which contained an overview of the "Zhao Tian Incident". The result was that the court was barely stable and Zhao Tian was not pursued, but public opinion had shifted from Bian Jing City to the local area, and various criticisms were everywhere, gradually turning into an attack on the court.

Cai Bian's memorial was written more clearly, because someone secretly added fuel to the fire, shifting the focus of the conflict from Zhao Tian's two memorials to the court's "tolerating traitors, mediocrity and stupidity."
