Spring has already set in the west.

Zhao Zhen, who was in charge of the palace examination for the first time, was quite tired, but he also felt a sense of satisfaction that he had never felt before.

When Zhao Zhen returned to the warm room, he asked, "Have the examiners selected the test papers?"

The eunuch Zheng Dayong quickly replied: "When I go back to the official house, I have asked someone to urge me, and it should be a result soon."

Zhao Zhen nodded, and Zheng Dayong quickly asked someone to bring a bowl of lotus seed soup. The lotus seed soup was filled with black fungus and some sugar was added. Zhao Zhen especially liked it, but the imperial doctor has not recommended him to eat candy recently, so Zhao Zhen just took a bite and put it down.

Zheng Dayong quickly picked up the bowl and sent it away. When he came back, he saw Zhao Zhen reading a book in the evening light. Recently, Zhao Zhen often observed this book. Zheng Dayong tried to read it, but he couldn't understand it very much.

Zheng Dayong said carefully: "Official family, I often read this book about the wealth theory recently. What is the special thing about this book that makes the official family love it so much?"

This sentence scratched Zhao Zhen's itchy spot. He smiled and patted the book in his hand that had some rough edges because he read it many times: "This is a secret to getting rich!"

Zheng Da’s eyes lit up: “Get rich?”

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "You servant, you know the money."

Zheng Dayong smiled and said, "There are two things I care about most in my life, one is to be loyal to the officials, and the other is to make money."

When Zhao Zhen heard Zheng Dayong admit that he was greedy for money, he didn't care. He was a kind monarch and naturally knew that the water was clear and there was no fish. His subordinates loved money, so that was not a bad thing. It was easy to control if they had shortcomings.

Didn’t Taizu use money to let many generals leave their weapons and return to their fields and become rich people?

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Yes, you even know that money is a good thing, because money is so important.

The same is true for governing the country and maintaining peace. You can buy anything with money, buy peace, buy loyalty, and even buy the world. But if you don’t have money, even if you don’t have money, it will be difficult for me to spread the imperial edict outside the palace!”

Zheng Dayong said: "The official family said this, but I dare not agree. The orders of the king and father are the supreme orders at any time. How can we not convey it just because there are fewer A-do? Then we have become traitors?"

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "You don't need to say this. I am not a foolish lord. How can I not understand this truth? But it's one thing, but reality is another thing. It's really hard to move without money. This book is the secret to how to get rich!"

Zheng Dayong said in surprise: "If I read this book correctly, it should have been written by Ouyang Bin, the youngest son of Mr. Ouyang, which is the Huiyuan in this provincial examination. Ouyang Huiyuan is naturally very knowledgeable, but as far as I know, Huiyuan Gong was less than eleven years old, and he was able to write a great masterpiece to make the country rich?"

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "You servant, you are still pretending to be stupid with me. Do you think I don't know that you have a gang in West Lake City in Ouyangbian?"

Zheng Dayong knelt down suddenly and said in a crying voice: "Prime the official, I am not intentionally deceiving me..."

Zhao Zhen stopped Zheng Dayong's words: "Okay, I don't blame you, get up and talk!"

Zheng Dayong touched tears and got up quickly.

Zhao Zhen said: "You also want to live. Investing in business is not an illegal act. I am not a person who is unkind. These are just trivial matters."

"Thank you for your magnanimity!" Zheng Dayong said gratefully.

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Tell me Ouyang Bin."

Zheng Dayong said: "Mr. Wen and Lord Bao also talked a lot to the official family before, but what I know about me is not much."

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "It's okay, just talk about it from your perspective. If you listen to both sides, you will be clear, and if you believe in both sides, you will be dark."

Zheng Dayong said, "Yes, that slave will tell you what he learned."

Zhao Zhen nodded.

The four large pillars of the warm pavilion supported the tall roof. Under the setting sun, wisps of purple smoke were winding up on the incense stove.

Zheng Dayi's soft voice floated in the warm pavilion.

"... When I learned about Huiyuan, I knew it earlier than most people. It was not because I had many ears and ears, but because most officials asked me to convey the will to Mr. Ouyang at that time."

Zhao Zhen nodded, he remembered this matter. In the first year of Zhihe, Ouyang Xiu had just returned from Yingzhou, and it was indeed the reception he instructed Zheng Dayong to go.

"…Master Ouyang has been poor since childhood and is a tough person, so he first came to the capital and actually went to live with his wife and uncle for a while..."

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but smile. Ouyang Xiu knew that he had always been generous in spending money, and it was strange that he could save money.

"...I've seen all the four sons of Mr. Ouyang at that time. The one that left a deep impression on me was Huiyuan Gong. He was only about eight years old and had a pink and jade-like appearance. There was no need to say much. The key is that his temperament was very unique, with a cynical temperament and a sense of disengagement. At that time, I only felt that this son was probably a banished immortal, otherwise how could he have a transcendent temperament?"

Zhao Zhen nodded. He remembered that he was looking down when he was in the hall. Ouyang Bin was in the first row again, so he could see clearly. Ouyang Bin was the youngest, but when he sat upright, a sense of awesomeness that could not be offended came to his face.

"...Of course, the skin is just the second. The key is ability. I am not a scholar and I don't know what scholars do. But I know that family affairs and national affairs are layer by layer. A person depends on his ability. No matter how big he is, he must start from a small matter. Not to mention national affairs and world affairs. A person who can handle family affairs well must be an amazing person."

Zheng Da used this sentence to Zhao Zhen to be quite emotional. For the emperor, family affairs are not only family affairs, but also national affairs and the world affairs. It is indeed quite amazing to be able to handle family affairs well.

"...It is not easy to live in the capital, and it is even more difficult for Mr. Ouyang and his family to join. Then strangely, Mr. Ouyang's family soon had its own courtyard. Although it was still cramped, it already had its own home in the capital, which was a great thing.

The people who made these changes were Huiyuan Gong. Huiyuan Gong used a recipe for cooking and obtained the first amount of funds from his uncle Zhang Qi.

After that, there were ice chambers, firewood, and the famous Chengyuan, which are now well-known, all of which were done step by step by step by step. From the New Year to the intangible, from the existence to the current wealth, Huiyuan Gong only took a short year.

The establishment of Xihu City made Huiyuan Duke a millionaires in Bianjing City. By the founding of the Agricultural Bank, Huiyuan Duke was replaced by the God of Wealth in the mouths of those nobles and nobles.”

"God of Wealth?"

Zhao Zhen said curiously.
