Wang Pang's actions were beyond Jiao Deyou's expectations, even though Jiao Deyou had heard of the name Wang Pang a long time ago. He was the son of Wang Anshi, Lord Bao's adopted son, and Di Qing's apprentice.

Jiao Deyou was in his thirties. Ever since he married into the Zhou family, he had been trying hard to get involved in official circles. He had seen many people forming cliques and friends in order to get higher positions, or they had been climbing up the ranks after their parents. After receiving Zhao Zongshi's letter, he looked down upon Wang.

On the other hand, I thought it was just a friendship between princes and grandsons.

It’s no wonder that the money Jiao Deyou earned from business easily amounted to thousands of taels of gold and silver, and if these taels of silver were considered a small number for the common people, it was indeed an unknown polarization under the prosperity of one faction in the Song Dynasty. Let’s talk about Mr. Bao, every day

A monthly income of about one thousand taels of silver is about a thousand taels of silver; and a government servant in the capital can support a family with a monthly salary of fifteen guan; while the villagers outside Jincheng County can only earn five or six guan for food and clothing.

Of course there are regional differences here. Not to mention the Song Dynasty or today, it is normal for the income to be several times different between first-tier cities and remote mountainous areas.

Having said that, Wang Pang burned the ship for two thousand taels. For Wang Pang, it may be that all the coal and tea transportation this year was in vain. But if the money burned is enough, Wang Pang has burned his own future. This

Dian Jiao Deyou is both surprised and convinced.[

He was shocked at first, staring at the fire snakes dancing on the boat in front. Then he looked back at the king. He stood straight with his hands behind his back, eyes dancing with flames, and looked at the boat in front of him with a look of disdain.

Jiao Deyou regained his composure, clasped his fists and asked, "I would like to know, who is this Miss Liang? She actually asked the prince to reject Mr. Zhao's kindness for him."

Wang Pang looked back at Jiao Deyou. At this time, Jiao Deyou was as domineering as when they met in the whole day. He also softened his tone a lot. It was not that he disliked Jiao Deyou, but he didn't like being looked down upon. Burning the boat did not mean burning him.

What Jiao Deyou saw was to burn Zhao Zongshi.

Wang Pang looked at Jiao Deyou and said word by word: "Miss Liang should be called Di Yuexia. She is the caretaker of Mr. Di Qing who is seriously ill. She is my fiancée."

Jiao Deyou said "Ah" and then asked: "Master Di is seriously ill, how are you now?"

Seeing that his expression was no longer pretending, Wang Bian replied: "Master Di is out of date, don't you know?"

Jiao Deyou really didn't know. He even went to see Mr. Di when he was in the capital. However, after Di Qing went to Chenzhou, he never contacted him again. And Jiao Deyou was busy with business, so he had to travel frequently to supply wood for the two ships.

and Wuxi Barbarian Land (today’s Sichuan Basin and surrounding areas)

Now when he suddenly heard that Di Qing had passed away, Jiao Deyou was startled for a moment. Then he looked at the burning boat in front and burst into tears. This kind of tears was more touching than the wailing. A man's tears are not light, if he is not sad.

To the extreme, this big man wouldn't be like this.

Jiao Deyou did not cry and fight, but used a voice to let Wang Pang know that this person had a close relationship with Di Qing. The two of them were silent for a while and watched the fire burning the boat.

Jiao Deyou's mood had almost calmed down, and Wang Pang asked, "Mr. Jiao, do you have an old relationship with my father-in-law?"

Jiao Deyou sighed: "To be honest, if Mr. Di had half the character of a prince, my father would not have died at the hands of Han Qi. But Mr. Di is not to blame for this, he tried his best."

The king was surprised when he heard this and asked: "Who is your father?"

Jiao Deyou wiped his face with his robe sleeve and pointed to the place where the two of them were drinking: "Today you and I will watch the fire and drink freely." Seeing him say this, the king sat down with him, picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp.

Jiao Deyou said: "My father's name is Jiao Yong, and I am a brother of Master Di, and he is also a subordinate of Master Di." It turns out that this is an old incident when the Song Dynasty soldiers sent out a five-pronged attack on Li Yuanhao.

When Han Qi's five-pronged army attacked Yuan Hao, Di Qing was promoted to deputy general manager of Zhending Road. One day, Han Qi held a banquet at his house. In order to liven up the atmosphere, he invited Bai Mudan, a geisha. Bai Mudan toasted everyone in turn.

, when she arrived at Di Qing's place, she raised her glass with a mixture of teasing and disdain: "I'd like to raise a toast to Ban'er!" She was deliberately mocking the tattoo on Di Qing's face when he enlisted in the army.

At that time, Han Qi also felt that Bai Mudan was too much and felt that he could not bear it, so he ordered Bai Mudan to be beaten. A few days later, a banquet was held at Di Qing's house. There was a civil servant Liu Yi. At the banquet, "the superior man used Confucianism as a show", Liu

Yi thought this was Di Qing's instruction, so he got angry, broke the plate, and yelled, "How dare you tattoo soldiers?"

Not long after, Di Qing's old subordinate Jiao Yong escorted his troops through Dingzhou and met an old acquaintance in a foreign land. The two exchanged cups and drank for a while. At this time, a soldier came to Han Qi to complain.

Jiao Yong deducted supplies and bullied them along the way...

Originally, this matter could have been investigated first, not to mention that Jiao Yong had previous military exploits and was a subordinate of Di Qing. Even if he was punished, Di Qing had to speak up. Unexpectedly, Han Qi ordered that Jiao Yong be beheaded.

After Di Qing found out, he quickly went to Han Qi to plead for his old friend. Han Qi refused. Di Qing stood at the steps outside the door and said in a low voice: "Jiao Yong had military exploits in the past and is a good man!"[

Han Qi sneered and answered him: "Outside the Donghua Gate, the number one scholar is called. That is the real good man. Jiao Yong, a guy like this, dares to be called a good man." After saying this, Han Qi asked someone to stand in front of Di Qing.

, ordered the killing, and Jiao Yong was actually beheaded because of a soldier's complaint.

Di Qing watched his ancient being beheaded and stood alone in front of the door for a long time until someone reminded him: "Manager, you have stood for too long!"

When Jiao Deyou told the story to this point, he burst into tears again: "I never blamed Master Di. Many years later, Master Di, who became the Privy Councilor, met me and said: Privy Han and I have the same official position.

The biggest difference between him is just a Jinshi pass."

"Come and drink!" He wiped away his tears and raised his glass to the king again.

Wang Bian raised his glass and gave a toast to Jiao Deyou: "I didn't know that the two families had such a close relationship. Even so, I think Mr. Jiao can understand why I burned the boat."

Jiao Deyou sighed: "More than understanding can be expressed! I have been working hard all these years, but I just want to find an opportunity to teach Han Qi a lesson. It's a pity, it's a pity."

"What a pity that Brother Jiao has such a big business now."

Jiao Deyou said: "It's a pity that the government and businessmen are on different paths and they just use each other. It's a pity that I don't have a No. 1 diploma."

When the king heard what he said, he frowned and said, "Brother, don't sigh. Which of the emperors in ancient times was born in the first place?" After saying this, he laughed.

Jiao Deyou's eyes lit up. There was no one else here. He said, "Brother, be careful what you say."

Wang Pang raised the corner of his mouth: "The throne is not in my eyes."

Jiao Deyou didn't understand what Wang Pang meant. Wang Pang was determined to overcome the obstacles of the past and the present. Being an emperor meant more than he did now. When he saw Wang Pang being so crazy, he smiled and said: "You are young and frivolous. How can you have such courage? Just

But by burning the boat, you are at odds with Mr. Zhao. What are your plans now?"

Wang looked at the still burning boat. Some of the burning wooden blocks fell into the water, making a sizzling sound. The boat was about to break up. The villagers on the dock were using long bamboo poles to catch the burning wooden blocks.

, so as not to encounter the ship they are on.

"I didn't think much about it. I first burned off Zhao Zongshi's momentum."

Jiao Deyou said: "Actually, Mr. Wang doesn't have to do this at all. He can just go back and get married to Miss Liang today."

Wang Pang said: "I've thought about it too, but I'm just afraid that the mourning time for Master Di will not be full."

Jiao Deyou: "You are very courageous when you are not afraid. Rules are set by people. Besides, if something happens, can we use the old rules to deal with it? If I were Master Di, I would not feel at ease if I was afraid of the spirit in heaven."

Jiao Deyou's words hit Wang Pang's heart, and the two of them were like brothers at this time. He said: "We met for the first time today. At first, I underestimated my brother. If there is any offense, don't take it personally. The fever will be gone, and it will be on my brother.

It's my fault that I accepted this letter rashly without knowing Miss Liang's identity."

The king smiled and said: "How can that be done? I burned the boat. If I dare to provoke it, I dare to carry it. You will say that I have taken over the boat. I accepted Mr. Zhao's gift of the boat, but the burning of the boat was for Mr. Zhao's honor.

.”

Jiao Deyou was a little skeptical: This? Is this good?

Wang Pang said: "Elder brother, just keep your word, if Zhao Zong really relies on the ship payment, it will be all on the younger brother."

Jiao Deyou saw Wang Pang burning the boat and saw his courage. He no longer said goodbye, but patted the boat they were on: "Okay, then this boat will be considered as my dowry for my sister. Brother, just take it."

When Wang Pang heard this, he turned around and looked at him: "Brother Jiao, what do you mean?"

Jiao Deyou laughed: "A ship is nothing. Look at the ships in the dock. They are all family property left by my father-in-law. If you burn all the fire energy, I will take care of the family property and find some peace and quiet."

Where you are, you can take care of yourself and save yourself from having to deal with those dressed-up beasts."

Wang Pang knew that he had grudges in his heart, and Han Qi was now the privy envoy. He said: "I already know what it means to have a rich family. I have learned about Brother Jiao's strength, but I naturally don't accept this reward, let alone

He said that he would marry like his elder brother."

Jiao Deyou burst out laughing: "Where are you thinking? I said it is for my sister, not my wife's sister. Since my father is close to Mr. Di, Mr. Di's daughter is naturally my sister. You protect me

What can I say about my sister? This is the dowry given to my sister by my eldest brother. Do you still dare to take it off?"

Wang Bian saw that Jiao Deyou was a man of justice, so of course he stood up and bowed in thanks: "I won't take off my clothes. Big brother wants to know my feelings. Yuexia has no relatives anymore. She will be very happy to have a big brother like you."

Jiao Deyou was also moved by these words. Jiao Deyou thought that he had no relatives and friends, so he married into the Zhou family. Although he was so rich that he didn't even know how rich he was, he always felt that he lacked close relatives around him. Money is a trivial matter, but Wang Pang thought about Yue Xia.

It makes Yuexia happy, and Jiao Deyou is also pleased.

The two discussed that they would load the ship tomorrow, and Jiao Deyou would go back to the capital with Wang Pang to marry Wang Pang and Yuexia. The two of them talked more and more passionately, and Wang Pang took the opportunity to mention Yu Danian's incident.

Jiao Deyou said: I see this guy often and he is also a kind person.

The two called Yu Danian to the bow of the ship. When they talked about the advance, Yu Danian was kind and said that after the death of Mr. Zhou family in the past few years, it was only Mr. Jiao who was in charge of the business, and the business grew bigger and bigger, and he himself did not.

I am willing to get married. Now I just want to work with the young master. As long as the second son of the Zhou family does not dislike her, I will marry him as soon as possible.

Wang Bian saw that Yu Danian was very ambitious, so he gave him two taels of silver to formally propose marriage to Zhou Mansion. Yu Danian looked at Jiao Deyou, and Jiao Deyou smiled and said, "My girl is not someone who dislikes poverty and loves wealth, and besides, I am not shabby either."

Dowry makes my sister suffer."

No one knows how rich Jiao Deyou is, but since he is the first shipbuilder in the Yellow River Basin, he can also be regarded as the "Ship King". When the king burned a ship in anger, he actually picked up the ship king's uncle, which can be said to be a blessing in disguise. However, even if it is not
