Wang Pang heard that He Libo seemed to have seen the moonlight and jumped out of the bed.

He Libo muttered: "I should be staying in this hotel, I think I just entered the second wing on the east side."

Wang Pian was about to open the door to look for him, but He Libo grabbed him. "Why are you going? It's dark and wintery outside and you can't see clearly. I don't know if it's true or not. It would be embarrassing if you made the wrong mistake."

Wang Biancai ignored his words and went out to see that the lights in the room had not been turned off. There seemed to be a shadowy figure. Just as he was about to go over and ask, he saw that the candles were blown out, and the hope that had just been brightened in his mind also disappeared.

Was blown out.

At dawn, the people in that room had already left. Wang Pang asked the shopkeeper if he remembered what that person looked like. The shopkeeper said that he must remember that the woman was sixteen or seventeen years old. Oh, she was so handsome. The shopkeeper's wife next to him took a picture of the account book.

On his head, the shopkeeper quickly said to Xiao that he didn't see it clearly.[

The male and female were bickering, but Wang Pang was anxious. The shopkeeper really didn't see it clearly. He couldn't describe it even if he saw it clearly, so Wang Pang asked if the girl could wear a jade like this on her chest? He pointed to his own jade and said.

The shopkeeper shook his head and didn't bring it.

"Are you sure?" Wang Pang asked again.

The shopkeeper said, "I definitely didn't bring it with me." The shopkeeper answered simply, and Wang Pang's heart dropped to the ground and he turned back to the room.

Wang Pang and He Libo were playing chess while waiting for news from Yin Shijie and the others. The shopkeeper suddenly got into Wang Pang's room and ran to Wang Pang's room. He looked back and saw that no one was following him, and then said hello to Wang Pang.

Seeing the shopkeeper's appearance, he smiled and said, "Did the shopkeeper get beaten by his wife? Why are you so panicked?"

He Libo laughed and said, "Are all shop owners afraid of their wives?" Wang Pang knew that He Libo was talking about Lu Shenyan and also laughed.

The shopkeeper said in a low voice: "I saw the young master asking the girl. I thought the young master was looking for someone. The girl who left this morning was indeed not wearing any jade."

Wang Pang said he understood. The shopkeeper sighed and said: "I didn't dare to say it in front of my wife, but the girl spent a long time looking for money and she didn't have any money. I paid the hairpin for the store money, and I secretly gave it to the girl in exchange for dozens of coins.

.”

King Pang put down the chess pieces in his hand and turned to look at the shopkeeper. He Libo said, "What do you mean?"

"Hey, what's the point of me? I'm just chatting with you two gentlemen. I'm afraid something might happen to that girl." He pointed at his face near his ears and said, "This, a scar, looks like a new scar."

Hurt, I think I met a robber on the road. Alas, this poor, pretty girl is disfigured. I can see that you two are rich men and generally don’t live in small shops like ours.

I just want to remind you two to be careful on the road. It’s almost the Chinese New Year, and the robbers have to celebrate the New Year too.”

After saying that, he turned around to go out. King Bian called him and asked He Libo to take two taels of silver and said, "You keep these on the cabinet. If the girl comes back, give it to her for me."

While taking out the money, He Libo said to the shopkeeper: "We are not afraid of robbers. I guess we have to become robbers before we can go back to the capital."

The shopkeeper winced, took the money and hurried back to the front yard.

He Libo said: "That shouldn't be the girl under the moon."

Wang Pang thought that with the jade protecting him under the moon, nothing would happen, but he didn't know why he still felt uneasy.

Another day later, Yin Shijie came. Wang Pang was happy when he saw it. Two people drove an ox cart. This was much more than a donkey could carry. A donkey cart can carry three or four times as much as a donkey. Moreover,

The bullock cart does not have to move as slowly as the donkey. Yin Shijie and Yu Danian could sit in the cart all the way back.

Wang Pang looked at the "fragrant cake" and was very satisfied. It was two-thirds of the size of a palm. He didn't know how the two made it. Each one was very smooth. When he asked the two how they made it, they said they asked a carpenter to cut out the wooden mold.

They were buckling one by one. Seeing that they were still very smart, the two of them turned around and glanced at He Libo. He Libo was holding the package and staring at him. Wang Pang felt funny in his heart. If it weren't for He Libo's expression, he really wouldn't have been able to prepare for it again.

I’m tipping two people, but it feels so good to be able to throw rewards away casually.

That also required money, so Wang Pang paid the pre-agreed three guan for a camel. The two said that this was also a load now, and they had to pay three guan. Wang Pang smiled and said, "Take it, Yin Shijie, you give it first."

Go back, let’s do some errands and meet again.”

Wang Pang asked Yu Danian to carry a basket of fragrant cakes to the county government office. The fat man looked energetic. Cheng Hao saw Wang Pang coming, carrying a basket of gifts and not knowing what they were. Wang Pang looked mysterious.

Said, this thing is only used by princes, nobles and ministers.[

He took out a piece for demonstration and put it on the stove, and suddenly the room was filled with a refreshing fragrance. Cheng Hao was really happy. Wang Pang was not giving this to him in vain, and he would come and visit often in the future.

Regardless of whether Zhang Yi was satisfied with the homework Wang Pang handed in, Wang Pang finally returned to the capital on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. When they passed the city gate, Yin Shijie and Yu Danian were happy looking at the ox cart. It used to be that a load of 10 kilograms of tax was collected. Now four

A hundred kilograms is a camel, but if you smoke ten kilograms, you will make a fortune.

Who would have thought that when the officers and soldiers stopped me and the king stared at me, he said, "Don't you recognize me? If you don't recognize me, you should know the gold medal, right? Do you dare to tax the things that are paid tribute to the emperor?"

The oxcart swayed to Wang Anshi's Mansion. There were so many people on the street. Wang Pang remembered that today is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. The difference from Chenzhou is that Bianjing has more doctors and pharmaceuticals.

Take tiger head pill, eight gods to kill Su, store it in a crimson bag, and give it to everyone, which is called wax medicine.

Wang Pang couldn't help but feel that at this time last year, Zheng and Yuexia were on the street watching the monks and temples serving porridge and the poor to drive away the epidemic. This year, Laba King Pang was alone on the streets of Bianjing.

When Wang Anshi's family heard that Wang Pang was back, they were all very happy. Yuanze ran out to greet him. The two brothers were very affectionate when they met. Wang Pang had met Wang Anshi and Mrs. Wu. After a brief chat, he brought some fragrant cakes.

Went to Kaifeng Mansion. Needless to say, Mr. Bao was very happy. Naturally, he hadn't seen Wang Pang for many days. He asked about the journey carefully and it was already dark.

Mentioning the fragrant cake, Mr. Bao said that he would go to see the emperor tomorrow, but he was still waiting outside the palace.

This time Wang Pang did not let Yu Danian carry the basket, but asked him to buy dozens of beautiful food boxes. He bought only good paper, wrapped each piece of fragrant cake in paper, and wrote on it in small regular script:

"Jincheng fragrant cake" four words. Put it in a food box.

Wang Pang and Yuan Ze looked at Yin Shijie and Yu Danian together. While doing these tasks, Yin Shijie and Yu Danian muttered: "This cinder block is still being used like this. This paper box is much more expensive than cinder block."

Wang Pang said: "You don't understand this is called packaging. Also, next time I go back, let the carpenter dig out these four words in the mold."

Yu Danian asked in confusion: "What is this for?"

Yin Shijie said: "Don't the pancakes come out with words on them?"

Yu Danian said, there is no need for packaging. What he meant was rice paper. Wang Pang watched them working and said with a smile: "Packaging still needs to be done, but there is no need to write on the rice paper."

.”

After they were all divided, only half of the fragrant pancakes were used. Yin Shijie said: "Sir, don't we all give away fragrant pancakes like this?"

Wang Pang deliberately looked confused: "Are you going to give it away?"

Yu Danian almost cried: "Then how much silver do you have to pay?"

Wang Pang laughed: "Hahaha, I'm paying for advertising." He said he was very happy.

The two people asked at the same time: Advertising? What is advertising?

Wang Pang suddenly felt interesting. He hadn't had an audience for a long time. He took a sip of water and said: "Advertisement is of course to be widely advertised. Look at the horizontal banners made by those who sell cooked food in the capital. They have the words "Everything has a price."

Xuankangzhuang "This is advertising."

"That's good," Yuanze said, clapping his hands.

He Libo said: "I see your fragrant biscuits are so crispy: "You pay for all the expenses along the way, and the fragrant biscuits go into the furnace." Everyone laughed after hearing this.

Yuanze said: "Why don't you write it like this, the smell is lingering around the beam, and the Jin cake is fragrant." Wang Pang clapped his hands and praised it, it's right, it's right.[

Yin Shijie said: "Why don't you tell me more about the advertisements? Let's learn from them."

Wang Pang said: "That's a lot to say. Use famous people to pass on names, like Bole Xiangma. Then increase the horse price and use official names to pass on horses. For example, "Sun Diancheng Drug Store said: Chongxin Zhuan: Jinan Liujia Kungfu Needle Shop Advertisement,

To "purchase high-quality steel bars and make kung fu fine needles, without stealing any work, it can be used by the people. If it is exploited, there will be no extra mercy; to create a reputation, "Fengle Building" is decorated both internally and externally."

Yu Danian asked, "How can we spread this fragrant cake?"

Wang Pian smiled slightly, which one of these would he not take advantage of?

Half of the fragrant cakes were used and were packed and sent to the imperial city the next day. Renzong was very happy to see Wang Pang. When the fragrant cakes were put into the emperor's Nine Dragon Cauldron, the wood chips of the spice trees in the Chuigong Hall gave off a faint fragrance.

Renzong was happy when he saw that Wang Pang seemed to be stronger. When he saw him reporting the number of fragrant cakes brought up as tribute, he asked why they were divided into such portions. Wang Pang said that the emperor has always been considerate of his ministers. Several ministers in the Chui Gong Palace had already heard of it.

Looking at the red fragrant cakes burning in the cauldron and admiring it, Renzong and the ministers all understood what he said. Renzong distributed the fragrant cakes to the ministers. Even Wang Yaochen, who had slandered Di Qing before,

, Liu Chang has a share.

After asking the ministers to retire, Renzong asked Wang Pang about his experiences along the way. Every time Wang Pang told Renzong, Renzong always felt like listening to a book, which was much more exciting than listening to a book. When Wang Pang mentioned Zhongyi's son, Renzong laughed loudly.

Laugh: Today's children are getting smarter and smarter. After laughing, Renzong asked, "It seems you have gone to Yanzhou?"

Wang Pang said: "I went for a walk, and there was something that I felt deeply about."

Renzong asked him to talk, and Wang Pian said: "Although the system of horse herding and supervision in our court is relatively sound, there are few horses, a large area, and huge costs. Agriculture and horse herding often compete for land. Secondly, animal husbandry

Many of the horses in prison were not suitable for riding. Every time they were "driven to the border, they would freeze to death for ten days without fighting."

Renzong nodded after hearing this: "It would be great if everyone in the court had a king's opinion and could often give me suggestions."

The king smiled and said, "I should do that."

Renzong wanted to increase his official position again, but Wang Pang refused to accept it. Renzong specially approved that the fragrant cakes used in the palace would be specially supplied by Wang Pang at the price of one pound of silver from next year.

This business is indeed a lot of work. If you get three kilograms of coal slag, you can already sell it for the original price of a load of coal.

Renzong gave another reward, just after Wang Pang had spent all his money, but Wang Pang also wanted a reward if he came. The coal mine had expenses, and it couldn't be used for at least a few months. It still cost money to buy horses. Once he got the document, he would

You should go to Xixia to look for Yue Xia generously.
