Since the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, Yangzhou has been extremely rich. [Let’s find novel materials] In the Tang Dynasty, there was a saying that “Yang Yiyi and Er of the Prefecture of the World”. This dynasty also called Yangzhou “Little Bianzhou”. Yangzhou is not a single trading city. The two roads in Huainan produced tea, salt, silk, silk, and silk, and fertile land. Good merchants have always been the place where the court’s wealth came from. When Zhao Xingde was in the Taixue, he knew that the places such as Henan Road and Jingdong Road could only be self-sufficient. Because of the large number of troops in Hedong and Hebei, not only could not pay taxes, but the court also needed to provide food and wages for food every year. Huainan, Jinghu, and Jiangnan were the important places where the court paid taxes and materials.

Although the Liao soldiers killed a lot of killing Yangzhou, ships were loaded with utensils, cloth and books to the north. However, most of the giants who lived in the salt merchants in Huainan had limited losses after hearing the news. Although these people were worried that the impact of the war would not return to Yangzhou for a while, most of them sent managers to come back and pay attention to the situation here. The wealthy businessmen who fled had large sums of gold and silver, many of them were planning to make a comeback but did not have the right opportunity.

If Nanhai stock bonds are attractive enough, they will not worry about not being able to raise funds. However, Zhao Xingde, Zheng Bin and others do not intend to turn stock bond trading into big casinos that raise funds, but instead try to ensure equity credit. After all, the more people need to benefit from it, the greater the credit accumulated by the Zhengxin Hall, the greater the wealth derived from it.

People have great expectations for trade in the South China Sea. The Jiangnan workshop is full of various utensils. However, the Liao bandits and the pirates invaded one after another and made people particularly nostalgic for peaceful days. However, everyone knows that the profits of sea trade are huge. In addition to silk, porcelain, and tea, the exquisite utensils made in the Song Dynasty, such as paper, lacquerware, mercury, medicinal materials, hoes, plows, iron pots, calligraphy and painting, powder, needles and thread, etc., are all loved by overseas people. Every time the sea ships arrive at a port, locals will try their best to take out goods to exchange with merchants in the Song Dynasty.

In addition to barter trade, merchant ships also draw graphics and directly hire foreigners to dig out medicinal materials. [Just find novel materials] even personally sent sailors to search for treasures and some precious medicinal materials, spices and other objects. Fans do not know that they are very good in the deep mountains overseas. Many people in the mountains are extremely huge and extremely huge in the mountains, which are unprecedented in the Central Plains. The caravan only needs to spend a very small price to guide and dig. Trade exchanges for gold, silver, gems, ivory, rhinoceros horns, spices and medicinal materials, etc., and there are ten or even hundreds of times the price difference between the Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty.

For the people of Song Dynasty, they would buy some of them as long as they could afford them. The bird feathers added for dyeing were all the raw materials for weaving and spinning. The prices of ambergris and other treasures were even cheaper than the market Xuanhe tributes from Guangzhou Maritime and Shibos in the second year were only one pound and two taels. It was rare to see that every time they would sell at a sky-high price. Various legends of getting rich from the sea stimulated people's greed and few people mentioned those who disappeared in the shipwreck.

On the other hand, the war made people pay more attention to the gold, silver and fines that they carry with them. They couldn't wait to sell large quantities of cloth, porcelain, tea and other goods for gold, silver and gems, ivory and rhinoceros, and strange fragrances. Gold and silver are much more valuable than before, and copper coins themselves are also rare. Some people even exchanged stored grains for pepper because pepper is much more valuable than grains. In this way, the more frightening the war, the more demand for gold, silver and treasures. The prices of fields and houses continue to fall. The prices of land and houses in places like Yangzhou have plummeted.

The Yangzhou government and the Chamber of Commerce bought the mansion that the owner did not intend to rebuild. Although it was a ruin, it was only one-tenth of the price before. The Chamber of Commerce took out the land according to the neighborhood division. The proceeds of the bidding exceeded the amount of money earned in the purchase of the mansion. The government began to build a large-scale construction project. After the government started to build a large number of buildings, the wealthy merchants and giants also began to rebuild the mansions destroyed by the war. In addition, some people purchased land near the city in a large scale and operated the way of the Sangyuan Jiazhifang on Jiangnan Road. All of this required a large number of people to hire people to wait for the porridge. The whole Yangzhou market showed a certain vitality. The magistrate Tan Zizai and others were so happy that they couldn't stop.

Yangzhou is a place full of merchant atmosphere. Everyone has been talking about this change over the past few days. Although there are many people waiting and watching, a few bold people have already put their bets. A guest at the top of the Crane Tower was drinking wine. One of them asked with a smile: "Old Du, are you really sure? Although planting mulberry trees and weaving workshops can make a lot of money, the fields near the city are much more expensive than other places." Several other officers also looked at the man with suspicion that it was Du Chujiao.

"Speak softly." Du Chujiao felt contempt and leaned down and lowered his voice, "Why are you afraid that no one will raise your price?"

Meng Ying couldn't help but look outside and no one else was relieved. These days, with Zhao Xingde's acquiesce, Du Chujiao spent a lot of money to buy land outside Yangzhou City. Ding Jin and others also realized that Du Chujiao's pennant was very rich. Du Chujiao promised to make money together. Everyone didn't care whether Du Chujiao was a general of Xia Kingdom, Song and Xia, or the two countries were still in alliance with each other. Gold, silver, copper coins were common in the world.

"You are so strange." Du Chujiao lowered his voice but couldn't hide his pride. "Yangzhou City now only repairs artillery and not the city walls, which is clearly modeled on the way of Chang'an City. This is a place where the generals are in the city. There is no city wall to restrict the neighbors in the city. Sooner or later, the shops will expand outside the city. According to the decades of experience in Chang'an City, from two to three years to five to six years, the land prices outside the city will soar."

"Really?" Although everyone was suspicious of his belief, they had to believe Du Chuijiao's words for now.

"I really can't tell." Ding Jin patted Du Chujiao on the shoulder. "Old Du, you have the ability to do so, why do you want to be a soldier and eat food?" The officers laughed together and took a glass of wine to release the military power. Cao Bin, a famous minister of Taizu and Taizong, once said, "Good officials only get more money." The court of the military generals can also be encouraged. Like Di Qing and Yue Fei, there are very few generals who are honest and self-respecting. Therefore, it is a habit for everyone to say that they are rich and retire and return home.

"What's this little fight?" Du Chujiao shook his head and said, "I thought I was planning to earn a title and earn enough money and retire and return home, but after doing such a big thing with the general, if I return to the field, I would definitely get sick." He patted his chest with a "bang" and shook his head, "This bone is going to work hard all over the place." Everyone laughed when he heard him say this. Meng Ying laughed: "Old Du, we are warm and soft here. I think you should not go back. I bought so much land and just stay here with General Zhao to be a rich man?"

"Hi" Du Chujiao shook his head and smiled, "This place is too far from Chang'an, hehe..."

His frank speech made all the officials laugh and scolded each other. They listed the places in the southeastern areas that were better than Guanzhong. The southeastern products were richer and exquisitely crafted. If they were rich, they lived in the southeastern areas much more comfortable than Guanzhong. However, Du Chujiao just smiled and made people feel that he was a rich man who was going to go back to his hometown to show off.

"I finally came out once and everyone didn't get drunk and didn't return." Someone shouted loudly.

The loud promise of the officers was eye-catching. The sailors, gunners and musketeers in the future Navy of the South China Sea were about one-third each. When the warship was not built well, Zhao Xingde practiced artillery teams and musketeers on the shore. In addition to requiring them to master all the land artillery battalions and musketeers in the musketeers, Zhao Xingde added special subjects such as schooner rowing sampans and swinging wooden boards to practice cannon aiming. The training was strict and exhausting, even the officers couldn't stand it.

Each battalion will have holidays every ten days, most officers and soldiers will not sleep in the camp, often go to Yangzhou City in groups to get drunk to relieve the fatigue and pressure they suffered during training. Zhao Xingde also understood very well that if there were no distinguished guests visiting today, he would relax with these subordinates.

Zhu Sen and He Fang went to Yangzhou together and Zhao Xingde was very happy. The three of them made an appointment to visit the county garden and enjoy the flowers together.

The famous scholars of Yangzhou County Park in the Song Dynasty also originated from a elegant event when Han Qi was in charge of Yangzhou during the Qingli period. People and poets gathered in Yangzhou and must go to the county park to enjoy the flowers. In the nursery that year, there was a peony flower blooming in the trunk. This flower was divided into four branches, each with a large flower, a solid color, vermilion, and a single circle of gold threads surrounded by gold wire. Han Qi specially invited Wang Gui, Wang Anshi, and Chen Shengzhi, who worked in Dali Temple at that time, to enjoy the flowers and drink together. Han Qi cut off the four golden waists and put one in each head. Unexpectedly, in the next thirty years, these four people became prime ministers of the Song Dynasty. This is the story of the "Four-Photo Hair Hair" that the scholars of the Song Dynasty have always talked about.

Zhao Xingde held a banquet at the Sibian Hall in the County Garden to entertain two friends. This hall was built by Han Qi to commemorate the grand event of that year. The four elements were "good times, beautiful scenery, pleasant things, and enjoyment". The four were built together. Although it was a bit old at this time, it was quite refreshing and pleasant to make the surrounding flowers compete for beauty and colorful flowers everywhere.

"Rebuild Donglin?" Zhao Xingde looked at his two old friends and said in surprise, "You want to rebuild Donglin Academy?"
