Chapter 422: The Battle for the Throne
The banquet was very pleasant.
A group of civil servants recited poems against each other, and the military attachΓ©s bragged about all kinds of war deeds, how many people they killed when they were young, what lonely heroes, and so on.
Wang Chen also listened to it with relish, compared the historical records, he found that many things are different, and sure enough, history is written by the victor.
The feast lasted until three or four o'clock in the afternoon.
Wang Chen was going to retire like all the officials, but he was called down by Zhao Kuangyin, and at first he thought that Lao Zhao was going to talk to him about what to recuperate, but in the end he found that things were not like that at all.
In the Imperial Study.
Zhao Kuangyin politely asked Wang Chen to sit down, it can be said that this treatment is already very good, you must know that even if Xue Juzheng, Zhao Pu and others talk to Lao Zhao now, they can only stand.
Wang Chen was not polite and sat down.
Zhao Kuangyin sat down at the desk, picked up a book and read it, and said: "Wang Qing, since you have become a national teacher and have a noble status, it is inconvenient for Jinghai Zhizhou to go now." β
Originally, Wang Chen didn't want to continue to be the governor of Jinghai, and the Chinese Empire couldn't be busy, but Lao Zhao cut his real power so quickly Wang Chen didn't expect, he didn't care, and said: "Yes." β
"Hmm. Zhao Kuangyin didn't expect Wang Chen to be so knowledgeable, raised his eyelids and glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze and continued to stare at the book, "There is one more thing I have to discuss with you." β
Wang Chen knew that the topic was coming, and wanted to see what Lao Zhao had asked him to buy, so he leaned back comfortably on the chair and said, "Your Majesty, please speak." β
Zhao Kuangyin seemed to inadvertently turn a page of the book, and his words seemed to have a consultative tone, but it gave people a categorical feeling, "I know my physical condition, if it weren't for the boundless mana of the national teacher, I am afraid that he would not die soon, even if you use your supernatural powers to cover up the heavenly machine, I still don't have many days left." β
Wang Chen didn't speak, but listened quietly.
"Alas, there is still a lot of work that is too late to be done. Zhao Kuangyin sighed and shook his head, "But my big man ...... The emperor's temperament is quite intense, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is so happy, so how can I rest assured that I will pass on the throne to him? It is easy to fight the country and defend the country. β
Wang Chen heard it clearly, Lao Zhao lost his words just now, I am afraid that he wanted to pass the throne to the second prince Zhao Dezhao or the fourth prince Zhao Defang, but because of the Jinkui Alliance that Empress Dowager Du forced her to promise, she could only say that she would pass the throne to Zhao Guangyi.
Why are you just talking to yourself now?
Wang Chen couldn't figure it out, so he simply kept silent.
But I didn't expect Zhao Kuangyin to take the initiative to ask, "National teacher, you are a true immortal in the sky, do you think King Jin has an imperial appearance?"
Wang Chen: "...... your sister, how can I say this kind of thing? Saying that Zhao Guangyi has an imperial appearance, Zhao Dezhao still has to hate his buddies to death, who knows what radical actions he will secretly do to his relatives and friends when he turns around? But if he says no, Lao Zhao will say that Zhao Guangyi does not have an imperial minister in the name of his "true immortal" later, and he will overthrow the Jinkui Alliance, which will offend Zhao Guangyi.
He thought for a moment and said vaguely: "The only true dragon in the world is Your Majesty." β
Fortunately, Zhao Kuangyin didn't ask any further, and said: "I'm really not at ease, three years, if I can live for three years, I can handle everything well." β
Wang Chen said euphemistically: "Your Majesty, Jiren has his own natural appearance. β
"National Teacher, you said before, if you hadn't blinded the Heavenly Opportunity with your great mana, I would only have lived for a month at most, and now even if I have deceived the Heavenly Machine, it is still possible that I will be discovered by the Heavenly Dao at any time and die violently at that time, right?" Zhao Kuangyin asked rhetorically.
These words fooled Lao Zhao before, and he couldn't rely on it, Wang Chen said: "Not bad." β
"Since the national teacher has great mana to blind the heavens, then I want the national teacher to accompany me day and night, and if there is any accident, he can also forcibly extend my life for a while, and explain things clearly. Zhao Kuangyin didn't know when he had put down the book and looked at it with blazing eyes.
the groove.
How can buddy be by your side all day long, if that were the case, I wouldn't be able to go back to modern times? I can't develop the national strength of the Chinese Empire?
If you talk about it for ten days and half a month, according to historical records, your special mother can live for half a year, half a year!
Wang Chen was reluctant in his heart, and excused himself: "I have already done everything I can do, and there is no point in staying by Your Majesty's side." β
"Well, that's not what I said. Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand, "You know the old man of the city god, and the relationship with the ghosts and gods of the underworld is good, if my time comes, the bull head and horse face will detain the soul, what should I do if I have something to do? With the national teacher by your side, it is different, with your identity as a true immortal, I want them to give me more time and a half to explain what happened after death, presumably they will sell face, so it is decided, you stay by my side in the future." β
In front of Lao Zhao, he claimed to use "I", but in the last sentence, he used "I", which is equivalent to giving an order directly, Wang Chen's face darkened, knowing that it was useless for him to resist, but he still bought himself time and said: "Your Majesty, my family is still in Jinghai, do you want me to bring my family to the capital?"
"I'll send someone to fetch it for you. Zhao Kuangyin blocked Wang Chen's back road.
Wang Chen was very speechless, and made excuses again: "But I still have to go back to Heaven to report to Emperor Xudu......"
"Emperor Xudu is in charge of all the major affairs of the underworld, I am the emperor of people, and I am on an equal footing with the Jade Emperor of Haotian, it shouldn't be a problem to borrow you from him for a while, right?" Zhao Kuangyin retorted again, "If he doesn't allow it, you let the Emperor Xudu come to ask for a dream, and I will talk to him personally." β
Your sister.
Do you want to be so persistent?
I wish I really knew the Emperor Xudu.
Wang Chen wanted to scold his mother, and finally held back the injustice in his heart, and asked for time for the last time: "Then I will go to report to Emperor Xudu, if he agrees, I will rush back immediately, if he does not agree, then I will let him entrust his dream to you." β
"Okay, you go and go back quickly, I will have someone pick up your family within seven days, and I hope the national teacher can also come back within seven days." Zhao Kuangyin said meaningfully.
I'm special!
You threaten me with my family?
For the first time, Wang Chen wanted to strangle Lao Zhao immediately, but he knew that he couldn't do this, because if he killed Lao Zhao, he would become a public enemy of the Song Dynasty, and the identity of the city god should not be considered.
In addition, it is not impossible to assassinate Lao Zhao, it can be said that as long as Wang Chen wants to, he can easily do it, but in this way, the Song Dynasty is very likely to be in chaos, Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Dezhao in order to fight for the throne Who knows what will happen?
And Wang Chen's previous plan was that it was best to accept the Song Dynasty in its entirety without much effort, and the main reason for this was that the Song Dynasty and the Liao State were both ancestors of the Chinese people, and he had special feelings for these two dynasties, so he could avoid wars and avoid them as much as possible.
There is also a very important point, the economic system of the Song Dynasty is so good, so good that if Wang Chen can fully receive and take good care, and then promote it, after conquering the world, he can quickly cross feudalism and directly enter the modern economic structure, which is very important, it can be said that at least Wang Chen can avoid a few decades of detours.
Yes.
At least a few decades.
And this premise is that Lao Zhao must be allowed to hand over the throne to the next one in a normal way.
Wang Chen felt that he had to lay it out, the next emperor must be in his own hands, Zhao Dezhao didn't have to think about it, Lao Zhao's son was basically impossible to listen to himself, and Zhao Guangyi was a person with extremely strong individualism, and it was difficult to control it.
On the contrary, Zhao Kuangyin's fourth brother Zhao Yanmei is a straw bag, and it seems that he can touch it.
β¦β¦
Leave the palace.
Wang Chen directly teleported back to Ancient Mandalay City.
The reason why he didn't go back to Jinghai and Liu Qihong and others to explain anything was because he knew that it was useless to confess, yes, he could have taken Liu Qihong and others away, but in this way, it was tantamount to turning his face directly with the Great Song Dynasty, and the development of the situation would return to the way before, the function of the idol was lost, and Wang Ji could not develop in the Great Song Dynasty.
In this case, he simply did not go back to Jinghai to explain anything, but went directly to the ancient city of Mandalay, ready to deal with the things that should be dealt with first, and then go back to the modern society to enjoy a comfortable life for two days, and finally, lay out the battle for the throne of the Great Song Dynasty!
Seven days.
He only has seven days to spare.
As soon as he returned to the city of Ancient Mandalay, Wang Chen immediately called Xiao Jianhua, and then asked Xiao Jianhua to summon a large number of miscellaneous soldiers, using the soul to seize the spirit, and instilling the use of agricultural tools such as walk-behind tractors into those miscellaneous soldiers.
After being busy, Wang Chen wrote down the dosage of each pesticide and the use of chemical fertilizers according to himself, and then left with confidence.
Even then, a day has been wasted.
β¦β¦
Use normal teleportation to return to the modern world of Mandalay City.
Then he used the location teleport again to return to the Western Silver Jade Company.
At this time, the maximum energy value has reached 2125786 point, and the capacity of the mysterious space has reached more than 42,000 cubic meters.
Corporate office.
At this point, it's time to get off work.
Wang Chen asked Cai Ziying to get off work first, and he was talking on the phone with his mobile phone, "Hey, is it Su Wenju's proprietress ?" Well, he called the beautiful proprietress in the daily necessities wholesale market, and he may have to spend some time in the palace in the future, and Wang Chen must ensure the supply of Wang Ji's goods.
"Ouch, it's Mr. Wang. As soon as Su Wenju heard Wang Chen's voice, she immediately said eagerly: "I haven't received your call for a long time, do you want to order?"
Wang Chen smiled and said, "This time I want a relatively large amount, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it." β
Su Wenju is a very smart woman, and when she heard this, she immediately said, "Then you have something to ask me for help?"
Wang Chen didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "Let me ask more, how much money can you make every year as a wholesale of daily necessities?"
Su Wenju hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully: "Before I met Mr. Wang, I could earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year when my business was good, and when my business was bad, I would lose money one year." β
"In this way, you come to help me do things, and I will give you an annual salary of 800,000 yuan, how about it?" Wang Chen said.
Many things are no longer suitable for him to come forward to do, such as buying a large number of daily necessities and transporting them to the Northern Song Dynasty, if Su Wenju is used to do daily necessities wholesale, he can save a lot of trouble, after all, this specializes in the wholesale industry of daily necessities, if she can help herself do things, Wang Chen believes that the supply of daily necessities to the Northern Song Dynasty will definitely save more than 800,000 yuan in a year.
Of course, with Wang Chen's current financial resources, he is not in his eyes for 1.8 million, the main reason why he wants Su Wenju to do things for himself is that he can save a lot of unnecessary trouble, such as the flow of large quantities of daily necessities, and for example, Su Wenju has been engaged in this industry for many years, and is very familiar with manufacturers, and can completely customize goods and so on.
The main time is tight.
Otherwise, Wang Chen would like to open a daily necessities manufacturing factory in the Northern Song Dynasty, but not for the time being, the power plant has not been completed, there is no electricity, everything is empty talk.
Su Wenju was startled when she heard such a high annual salary, thinking that Wang Chen wanted her to do something illegal and undisciplined, so she hurriedly said: "Mr. Wang, I just do a small business, and I am usually free......"
Before she finished speaking, Wang Chen interrupted bluntly: "If you continue to open the store, I won't let you do anything embarrassing, but when you need to help buy daily necessities and the like, you can help me get a production price from the manufacturer, okay? If not, I'll go to Boss Zhang of your wholesale market." β
As soon as he heard that he would not do anything illegal and undisciplined, Su Wenju immediately said, "Yes." β
Wang Chen smiled, knowing that Su Wenju couldn't resist his money offensive, "Okay, then I'll pay this year's salary to your bank card first, what about you, immediately help me contact the manufacturer, I ordered 600,000 sets of daily necessities from you before, how much does it cost after contacting, you fax the quotation, I will transfer the money to your bank card, in addition, the tax generated by these 600,000 sets of daily necessities, you will also report it to me, I will pay it for you." β
Su Wenju did not doubt him, and agreed, and when Wang Chen said the first task, she had already "guessed" why Wang Chen asked her to do things with a high salary, like the wholesale of daily necessities, in general, the profit is about 30 to 50 percent, of course, some goods may only be more than 10 percent.
Like Wang Chen's one-time purchase of 600,000 sets, if the normal wholesale price is followed, the payment will reach about 114 million, and the wholesaler will earn the difference, Wang Chen only needs to pay about 80 million at most, and then remove taxes and the like, at least about 30 million can be saved, how can Su Wenju think about anything else?
Some people may say that Su Wenju didn't make more money by directly wholesale to Wang Chen, why did she promise an annual salary of 800,000 yuan? In fact, it is very simple, first of all, Su Wenju can't get tens of millions of dollars in payment, and secondly, even if the manufacturer is willing to pay on credit, Wang Chen can also find someone else to do this.
In Su Wenju's opinion, Wang Chen's annual salary of 800,000 yuan is equivalent to the errand fee for her, but Su Wenju is already very satisfied, she opened a store, and she only earned hundreds of thousands of dollars in previous years, and now 800,000 yuan is equivalent to picking it up for nothing, how can there be other opinions?
"Okay, but 600,000 sets is a bit much, even if I contact the manufacturer now, I'm afraid it will take a few days to prepare. Su Wenju said.
Wang Chen gave a deadline, "No more than five days, I'm in a hurry to get the goods." β
Su Wenju said with a smile: "Five days is enough." β
Hang up.
Wang Chen sat quietly, pondering what other important things to deal with, in fact, modern society doesn't matter, anyway, his own people are in the Northern Song Dynasty, and when he comes back, he will still return to the time node of the time he has traveled, mainly in the Northern Song Dynasty time and space.
Well, it seems like nothing is going on for the time being.
Wang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, ready to enjoy the remaining six days, just take advantage of these few days to make a good layout for the battle for the throne, how to make his people become the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty logically?
Also, I don't know if Zhao Yanmei can use it for herself.
Wang Chen felt that he had to think it through, perhaps, this was his biggest challenge in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it might be much more difficult than attacking the Bagan Kingdom before, after all, attacking the Bagan Kingdom could be directly crushed with modern weapons, and this time, he could only rely on wisdom.
But Wang Chen wasn't worried about his failure.
After all, there are many things recorded in the history books, and if you study them carefully, you will definitely be able to find some of the information you need most urgently, so as to win the initiative.
No matter what, this time, he must kill Lao Zhao, and let Lao Zhao successfully designate the throne to his own person before he dies, no matter who can stop Wang Chen's way forward, even if the king of heaven Lao Tzu can't, Wang Chen is determined to win the throne of the Northern Song Dynasty!
