Liu Chang added: "I heard that the University of Tokyo has announced its admissions, so I'm going to sign up."

The woman sat down and stopped answering, obviously not interested in what he was talking about about the University of Tokyo.

But then, many young people came over and wanted to talk to the woman, but they were all politely rejected.

After a while, Zhao Ning put down his tea cup, walked over and sat down.

But the woman got up and prepared to leave.

“Can we regain our bargaining power just by restructuring the agricultural administration in Gyeonggi Province?”

As soon as Zhao Ning said this, the woman stood there. She looked back at Zhao Ning and couldn't help but said: "No."

"Why?"

"Just Gyeonggi Road can guarantee the people's livelihood in Gyeonggi. It's an exaggeration to take back the bargaining power." The woman said calmly, looking at Zhao Ning, "Besides, restructuring has not been easy since ancient times?"

"You mean, this restructuring will fail?"

"That depends on whether the current Zhao Guan family is really a Holy Master."

Zhao Ning asked curiously: "Who do you think the Zhao Guan family is today?"

"I have somewhat heard that the Jin army was besieging the city. They shared the same hatred and united as one. In the battle with Shangdang, the enemy invaders fled thousands of miles away. From this point of view, Zhao Guanjia is a wise king who is determined to resist the Jin."

Zhao Ning said very shamelessly: "Since you are a wise king, then the restructuring will definitely be successful!"

"A wise ruler is not necessarily a holy master. A holy master has insight into thousands of years, just like the founding of the Qin Emperor and the establishment of the Han Dynasty by Wu."

Zhao Ning was greatly surprised. The reputations of Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han in the Song Dynasty were not very good.

The main reason is that Sima Guang believed that these two men were basically tyrants, especially Liu Che, who resorted to militarism and sold off their official positions and titles, which made the people of the Han Dynasty miserable.

Sima Guang used Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty as a negative teaching material many times, admonishing the Zhao officials not to think about war, but to live in harmony with the people and to conserve national power.

But this woman's evaluation was completely different.

She said that Qin Shihuang ushered in a new era, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty consolidated Qin Shihuang's achievements.

Judging from her thoughts, it actually reflects the reflections of some people in the Song Dynasty today.

Reflecting on the weak military force of the Song Dynasty, half of the country was crippled by the Jin people.

Major events of the times always have a huge impact on folk ideology.

Maybe people began to miss the Qin, Han, and prosperous Tang Dynasties, and wanted to find evidence from there.

"Then how do you become a Holy Master?"

"This little girl is just a commoner, how can she know how to become a Holy Master?" The woman couldn't help but laugh, "The official asked the wrong person."

"Looking at your accent, you're not from Kaifeng Mansion?"

"Little girl from Hangzhou."

Zhao Ning said: "Come to Tokyo to do business?"

"How do officials know?"

"My guess."

This woman was also well-dressed, well-spoken, and concerned about current affairs, and she was from the southeast.

The Song Dynasty had two economic centers, one was the capital and the other was the Taihu Economic Circle in the southeast.

The main water transportation network of the Song Dynasty was distributed between these two economic centers.

The southeast has the highest taxes and cash income.

If you come to Tokyo from the Southeast, you are not here to do business. What are you here for?

Of course, it is also possible that he is looking for the right man.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, women's status was very high. There was no such thing as not being allowed to leave the house, or having to wear a veil when going out.

For example, Li Qingzhao, the first sister of the Northern Song Dynasty, was not only astonishing in talent and talent, she was also invincible in mahjong, and she also loved to quarrel with others.

"The officials are laughing." After the woman finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Zhao Ning asked further: "I wonder what kind of business the young lady does?"

The title "little lady" was a daily name for women in the Song Dynasty, whether they were acquaintances or strangers.

Add surnames to acquaintances.

For example, Zhao Ning calls Zhu Lian Xiao Zhu’s Lady.

"Make some silk and transport some grain."

Zhao Ning was somewhat interested. Businessmen from Hangzhou brought grain trading to Tokyo?

He stood up and walked over, and continued to ask: "Hangzhou is far from Tokyo."

"Food prices in Gyeonggi Province are currently high. If we can sell the grain, we will naturally make a profit."

"But as far as I know, the imperial court has designated grain merchants. In addition, the grain roads are also monopolized by some people. It doesn't matter. It is still difficult to do business in Gyeonggi."

The woman was a little surprised: "The officials know a lot."

"I also know more, which you have never heard of."

The woman finally stopped and became interested. She said, "Why are the officials following this little girl?"

"I'm just curious. Most of the people transporting grain to Beijing now are Lianghuai grain merchants. I have never seen any Hangzhou grain merchants."

The woman suddenly became curious about Zhao Ning's identity, and the news that those who now transport grain to Beijing are Lianghuai grain merchants is not something that ordinary people can know.

Just like people in the 21st century, they don’t know who is driving these industrial chains behind the daily necessities they usually buy.

Ordinary people don't care about these. They only care about their immediate life, how many acres of land they can hold and how many mouthfuls of food they can eat.

“I don’t know what the official’s surname is?”

"I'm Zhao Ning."

"Little girl Qian Jinshu."

Zhao Ning thought, he was indeed a businessman, and he stopped when he heard the information that was beneficial to him.

In the Song Dynasty, the surname Zhao was very special. It was a royal surname, but there were also people with the surname Zhao, such as Zhao Pu, the prime minister in the early Song Dynasty.

Another example is Zhao Ding, the current prime minister.

Among the hundreds of surnames born in the Song Dynasty, Zhao ranked first.

Ranked second is the surname Qian.

Qian Jinshu wondered in her mind that she had never heard of any young talent named Zhao Ning in Tokyo.

"Is Zhao Guan's family also engaged in business?"

"As luck would have it, I did do some business."

"Oh, what kind of business does Mr. Zhao do?"

"Do it in every aspect."

"That's even more coincidental. Hangzhou is rich in food. My little girl has a lot of food here that can be transported to Tokyo to prepare enough. I wonder if Zhao Guan is interested?"

"Take a step to speak."

"Officials please."

When they arrived at Yajian, Zhao Ning said, "How much food does the young lady have in Hangzhou?"

"We can provide ten thousand shi per month."

"Oh, where did little lady get so much food?"

"If the family has land, there are also people who buy food from the private sector."

"How much is the little lady willing to sell it to Tokyo?"

"Seven hundred yuan per stone."

Zhao Ning was shocked: "The current price of food in Tokyo is two thousand yuan per stone. Why are you willing to pay such a low price? And you have a long way to go."

"Nothing but wanting to do business with Tokyo."

"Young lady, what you are saying is just speaking from the bottom of your heart. Is she trying to make friends with the powerful people in Tokyo?"

Qian Jinshu smiled and said: "To be honest, I have such a plan. I have a cloth and silk workshop at home, and I want to buy a property on Gyeonggi Road."

“The southeast is rich, why must we come to Tokyo?”

"The money shortage in the southeast has been somewhat hindered, and now there is a shortage of food in the capital. My brother also wants to do his best for the court."

"Your brother also came to Tokyo?"

"coming."

Zhao Ning said: "You can really provide ten thousand shi of food every month, and are you willing to sell it for 700 wen?"

"It's natural."

Zhao Ning's mind was spinning rapidly.

He was not thinking about setting up a matchmaking process to get her to come to Tokyo to do business, but he was thinking about whether the strategy of opening up a military pay supply route from Hangzhou could be started.

Open a sea line from Hangzhou, transport military supplies to Dengzhou, set up a secret military base in Dengzhou in a low-key manner, and then lead it to the southernmost part of the Liaodong Peninsula (Lushun, Dalian), where it will grow insignificantly. After it grows, it will contain the Jin Kingdom and prepare for the subsequent Northern Expedition.
