July 2nd year of Yuanyou (the tenth day of the lunar month).

Kaifeng Prefecture, Huaxian, Baimadu.

The ships carrying the Liao delegation slowly landed on the dock.

As the ship docked, two Liao nobles holding courts led dozens of Liao officials to walk down the gangway under the protection of the Song Dynasty's official army.

Suddenly, the drums and music rang.

Xiao Dechong laughed as he listened to the music.

"Is this poem "Deer Ming"?" He asked Zhang Lin, the deputy envoy beside him with a smile.

Zhang Lin nodded: "Returning to the Jiedu is the joy of "The Deer Ming"!"

The corners of Xiao Dechong's mouth immediately bent.

He remembered that last year, when the Song envoy Hu Zongyu came to Daliao to celebrate the birthday of the Emperor of Daliao.

He was appointed as a guest envoy to welcome the Song envoy into the country.

At that time, Xiao Dechong obeyed the order and ordered the band to play the "Tangdi" of the Book of Songs when the Song envoy entered the country.

Tang Di's righteousness is that brothers fight against the wall and resist their insults outside.

The meaning is to tell Song Ting obscurely that we are a country of brothers, and Goryeo is an outsider, you have to help us!

However, the Song envoy Hu Zongyu at that time looked unhappy after hearing the joy of Tang Di.

When he was politely greeting him, he even said a lot of words like "Ah, did the Northern Dynasties actually know the Book of Songs?"

It seems that in his eyes, the Great Liao Dynasty was like a slogan and a woman who was straightforward, and was a barbarian who did not follow the rituals.

Xiao Dechong was so angry at that time!

But the Song envoys have always been like this. When they went to the Liao territory, they would always try their best to argue with the Liao people about the details of orthodox and status, and never give in.

That is, the Liao Kingdom is now in the direction of Goryeo.

At the same time, the Liao Kingdom also asked Song Ting for the overall alliance between the two brotherly countries, Xiao Dechong held back with his nose at that time.

But at that time, he also vowed that he would get the place back one day sooner or later.

At least, he would ask the Song envoy Hu Zongyu to bow his head in front of him.

However, now, when he came to the Song realm and heard the Southern Dynasty welcome him with the joy of the Book of Songs.

Xiao Dechong's inner dissatisfaction immediately disappeared.

Although the joy of "Deer Song" is just to welcome guests from afar.

But, this is the Book of Songs!

It is the ritual and music that is used only during internal diplomacy in the Xia Dynasty.

what does that mean?

The Southern Dynasty finally faced the Liao Dynasty!

A sense of satisfaction and accomplishment arises in Xiao Dechong's heart.

Make him happy and full of joy.

...

The White Horse Ferry is not far away, and it is Baima Town.

This is a town that has emerged based on shipping.

It is considered a relatively large commercial and trading town in the prefecture.

In the past, hundreds of merchants were involved in business transactions all year round.

Since the rise of the Jiaozi trade in Song and Liao dynasties, more merchants have made a living here.

Nowadays, there may be thousands of merchants making their own lives here.

These people, their families, employees, relevant officials, and garrisons have combined, more than 20,000!

This directly doubled the size of Baima Town in just one year!

At this moment, the merchants in Baima Town had all swarmed out of the town, stretched their necks and looked at the ferry in the distance.

Although the officers and soldiers pulled up a thick blockade line and blocked people outside the official road.

But this still cannot stop the loyalty and patriotism of the "good merchants" of the Song Dynasty!

Yes!

With the Bianjing New News and Bianjing Yibao, there has been bombardment in the past half month.

Nowadays, the great Song merchants in Kaifeng Prefecture are even more tough than before.

One by one, I am a righteous merchant (benevolent merchant)!

Why?

Because I hired someone!

According to the content implied by the article in the Bianjing Yishu, the benevolence and righteousness of the righteous merchants should be directly proportional to the number of employees they hire!

The more people you hire, the more 'benevolent' the person becomes.

Therefore, Sun Ci, the Emperor of Song Dynasty, who opened hundreds of Sun families in Bianjing City, became the Hobaoyi of Bianjing, and Kaifeng was in time.

Because, the total number of employees in Sun Ci's industries exceeded 10,000 (of course, the number of employees who depended on the foot shops of Sun's main store was added, but in fact, the foot shops were distributors and were not hired by Sun Ci, nor did they take Sun Ci's wages).

So, Sun Ci hung up two wine flags directly at the door of his main store.

The wine flag on the left is written with the word "Ren", and the wine flag on the right is written with the word "Big" on the right.

The banner of benevolence and righteousness in business was brightly raised.

Originally, such high-profile businessmen would inevitably attract the government's iron fist, coveting, even biting and sharing food.

However……

Kaifeng Prefecture, street office and store office are like blind and can't see it at all.

It is said that Cai Jing, Cai Yuanchang, the former chief of Kaifeng Prefecture, who had been removed from his family, also invited Sun Ci to attend his family's family dinner, and there were many praises during the meal.

So, the merchants in the capital understood instantly.

Those who hired a large number of workers followed Sun Ci and hanged up the sign of "benevolence and righteousness".

If the number of employees is relatively small, just hang the word "ren" or "yi".

For a time, all the merchants in Bianjing were benevolent and righteous, and all of them were Confucian merchants.

When I opened my mouth and kept my mouth shut, I started to say, "That's all."

Many Taoist scholars have a headache when they see it.

However, whether it is public opinion or public discussion by the literati.

All of them ignored the noise of these old scholars.

The articles they worked hard to write were submitted to Bianjing Yibao, and they were directly buried in the sea.

Maybe the next day, the Bianjing Yibao directly published an article "advising" them to read books seriously, read good books, and carefully understand the saints' subtle words. Don't listen to the wind and rain, and don't make a fuss.

Each face was slammed and slapped.

Baima Town is only a hundred miles away from Bianjing.

The Bianjing New News and Bianjing Yibao, which were published yesterday, can be delivered to Baima Town today.

Therefore, the merchants in Baima Town naturally followed the merchants in Bianjing City and all began to make a high-profile appearance.

At this moment, they were crowding on both sides of the official road, looking at the Liao delegation that was disembarking.

"I am afraid that the envoy from the North is here to talk to the officials..." Many people were talking.

"No?"

"I heard that the Northern Dynasties transported hundreds of thousands of taels of silver this time, and asked the officials to print another million coins of coins for them!"

"Really?"

"It really can't be true anymore!"

"My brother-in-law from my brother-in-law is working in Kaifeng Mansion, and he told me in person..."

"Oh my god, I've made money again!"

"wrong!"

"It should be possible to increase benevolence and righteousness again!"

When the business expands, we naturally have to hire people. The more people hire, the more benevolence and righteousness.

Suddenly, many people felt that the soul of benevolence and righteousness in their bodies was already burning.

These big men in the court are really!
