A few days later, the troops led by Zhao Ming and Liu Han also arrived in Shangjing.

The current Han Ming can really be said to be turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands into rain in Shangjing.

The imperial court also specially built a side-by-side palace for him, but Han Ming did not live in it, which also made those officials who wanted to climb the branch very helpless, after all, they couldn't find anyone.

Of course, Han Ming didn't like this feeling of being disturbed, and now in his small courtyard, not many people knew, and he was happy and clean all day long.

In the blink of an eye, winter has arrived, and now there is a very big problem in front of Kuang Yue.

After the Yokogawa Rebellion, although the people had begun to recuperate, the previous damage was too great for many things to be prepared immediately.

After a period of farming, the supply of grain can be basically guaranteed, but now that it is winter, the winter in Yokogawa is extremely harsh, and if you can't prepare enough winter clothes, countless people will freeze to death. When the time comes, I'm afraid there will be chaos again.

If the affected counties want to survive this harsh winter safely, the only way to do this is to purchase weaving from the private sector.

Originally, because of several wars, the treasury was empty, and there was no more treasury silver, but coincidentally, in order to redeem the captured personnel, Liguo paid a large ransom.

And this can be used to purchase weaving fabrics.

There is a solution, but there is a lack of a suitable executor.

The people of the big family can't choose, and when the time comes, they collude with each other, if they steal from the prison and embezzle the disaster relief money, no one can find out, and those ordinary officials can't reassure Kuang Yue, and their ability may not be enough.

Just when Kuang Yue was thinking about this matter, Cui Zhan entered the palace.

On the second day, Kuang Yue issued an order to let Wang Hanming concurrently serve as a weaving inspector, and was fully responsible for supervising the purchase of disaster relief winter clothes.

When he received this appointment, Han Ming was stunned.

"Isn't there a mistake, let me supervise the purchase of winter clothes, but I'm a martial artist?" Han Ming asked the eunuch who had announced the decree.

The eunuch naturally didn't dare to be disrespectful to Han Ming, and replied seriously: "Our family doesn't know what Your Majesty means, we only know that you have great powers and may be able to share your worries and sorrows for Your Majesty." ”

"Okay, I'm done. Han Ming said helplessly.

There's no way, don't pick up no one. Isn't it just buying a winter coat, it's not a trivial matter.

However, after seeing the specific content of the holy decree, Han Ming still felt that it was a little difficult, and the main problem was that the money was too little.

It was a dream to prepare the affected people in three or four counties with the ransom paid by Liguo, but he had always known about the difficulties of the imperial court.

There is no way, it costs too much money to fight the war, which leads to an empty treasury, and in the final analysis, it is his fault.

Next, the first problem in front of him came to how to use the limited money to purchase enough clothes.

As soon as the news was posted, those weavers seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and they lined up outside Han Ming's mansion every day, waiting to get close to the officials who were doing the work and get some advice.

And Han Ming himself can receive more than a dozen cover letters almost every day. Looking at the stacks of letters piled up in front of him, Han Ming suddenly thought of a way - bidding.

He is going to select a few winter clothing suppliers through bidding, and then start buying winter clothes from these big businessmen.

As soon as he thought of this good idea, Han Ming couldn't help but be amazed, secretly wondering why he hadn't thought of it earlier.

Just do it, but this tender will need a person in charge. He definitely can't do it, as a one-word king, this identity and status does not allow him to do this kind of identity-losing thing, and he doesn't like to do it.

Fortunately, he has henchmen, and to do this kind of thing, apart from Liu Han, Han Ming really can't think of a second person.

It just so happened that Liu Han didn't have anything to do during this time, so he directly brought Liu Han over from the military department.

After Liu Han received Han Ming's task, he immediately began to work on the itinerary of the bidding.

The first step is to make the various rules and regulations of the bidding meeting clear, and then to issue a document and prepare for the start of the bidding meeting.

As for the location, Han Ming specially chose the auction house of Jubaozhai. First, this place gave him a deep memory, and secondly, only the auction house of Jubaozhai has this configuration that can be worthy of the bidding meeting of the imperial court.

In order to borrow this auction house, Han Ming also specially found the person in charge of Jubaozhai in Shangjing, Jiang Xuan.

When he learned that Han Ming wanted to borrow the auction house, Jiang Miao immediately agreed. The imperial court tendered to find Jubao Zhai, which was equivalent to giving Jubao Zhai free publicity, of course he was happy.

The two sides negotiated very happily, and at the end, Jiang Miao also gave Han Ming a supreme VIP card.

According to Jiang Xuan, with this card, he can travel unhindered in the Jubaozhai auction houses all over the continent in the future, and this kind of card can only be enjoyed by the top group of guests, even if he is a person in charge of this level, there are only three.

Since he said so, of course Han Ming would not refuse, he happily accepted the card, and said that if he had difficulties in the future, he could ask himself for help.

This is also what Jiang Xuan wants the most, what can I say that is the most useful? It can only be a friendship of Han Ming's level, a businessman has always had a keen sense of smell, and can find something truly valuable.

Once the venue issues were resolved, the next step was to make an announcement.

And as soon as the tender announcement came out, all the silk merchants were boiling.

This announcement directly broke the previous situation in which several major official silk weaving manufacturers monopolized large orders from the imperial court. Nowadays, as long as your offer is cheaper, more affordable, and more reliable than others, the court will include him in the bidding list.

For this bidding, most businessmen began to prepare seriously, although they may not be selected, but they can appear on such a big occasion, which can be regarded as earning a wave of fame.

In the past, if the imperial court had a transaction to purchase silk and cloth, it would directly hand over the order to several major officials and merchants.

Because of the intertwined interests of the network, although the quality of the silk fabrics purchased from the government and businessmen is passable, the price is generally higher than that of the outside private businessmen.

And this time the situation was a little different, Kuang Yue's treasury silver to Han Ming could not buy enough winter clothes to meet the needs of the disaster area, and if it was handed over to officials and businessmen, it would definitely not be able to complete the task.

This requires opening up the procurement channels for private and commercial enterprises, breaking the monopoly of officials and businessmen, and purchasing winter clothes at low prices or in the form of debts.

However, it is obvious that Han Ming's move directly affects the interests of several major officials and businessmen.

One of the largest is the Ning family weaving in Nanyang County, which was originally a small cloth workshop in Nanyang County, and it can barely be eaten in Nanyang County.

Later, the ancestor of the Ning family became the son-in-law of the prime minister of Zhongchu at that time, and stood in the right direction in the battle for succession, with excellent business acumen, the Ning family began to take the first royal order, and then, the Ning family became bigger and bigger, until this generation, has become the leading official and businessman of the entire Zhongchu.

This time Han Ming's bidding plan directly moved the Ning family's big cake, if this bidding is successful, then these officials and businessmen will withdraw from the entire historical stage until the final decline, which is absolutely unacceptable in the eyes of the Ning family.

Therefore, in order to resist the bidding conference launched by Han Ming, the Ning family took the lead, tangled up several major officials and businessmen, and prepared to discuss how to make a stumbling block for the bidding conference in the Ning Family Pavilion on the outskirts of Shangjing.

There were five major officials and businessmen present, in addition to the Ning family, there were also Linlang Weaving in Linlang County, Gan's Cloth Workshop in Shangjing, Cloth Workshop in Dongjun and Hengnan Weaving Bureau in Hengnan Region, and almost all of them were their own leaders, and they were the people in charge who could make decisions after making decisions.

The fact that so many important people have gathered here is enough to see the importance of this meeting.

Ning Qi, the head of the Ning family, saw several heads of the Chamber of Commerce and asked the head of the Gan's Cloth Workshop: "Why didn't Shanggong Ji from the Shanghao Yi Cloth Workshop come?"

"He said he wasn't in good health and couldn't move around, so he didn't come. ”

"Hmph, I think he's just timid, this person doesn't have much ability, you say that relying on a woman, how much can he do, he doesn't come, forget it, there is no shortage of him. The person in charge of the Hengnan Weaving Bureau said with a disdainful face.

Ning Ji waved his hand and stopped: "Okay, it's a pity that Shangguan Ji didn't come, but it doesn't matter, with our major chambers of commerce together, it's enough to deal with one Han Ming." ”

Hearing this, the person in charge of the Gan's cloth workshop was a little hesitant, "You said that this Han Ming is the king of the imperial court, are we a little overwhelmed?"

"Hmph! What is the king of the word side by side, you see how old he is, against a few of us, he can't play him to death? He is really good at fighting, but to do this, a hairy boy, this time we only need to use a little trick, it is enough to make him anxious for a while. ”

The person in charge of Hengnan Weaving still looked disdainful, he really didn't take Han Ming much in his eyes, he didn't understand the things of the war, but when it came to business, on these small means in the dark, they were experts.

Ning Zhen nodded, in fact, from the bottom of his heart, he didn't take Han Ming seriously.

"Well, although Han Ming is the king of one word, he is mainly strong on the battlefield, and he still doesn't know anything in the shopping mall, we are gathered here today to discuss how to destroy this bidding conference and defend the rights of officials and businessmen. ”

When the other people heard Ning Xuan's words, they all nodded one after another, gathering their wisdom and strength, with a few of their old foxes, they were still afraid that they would not be able to play Han Ming?

"I think we should be prepared for two things, one is to pay close attention to the progress of the bidding conference, and on the day of the conference, we can also attend to see what kind of foreign appearance Han Ming will make; ”

"Yes, yes, yes. ”

"Brother Ning is right. ”

Several people kept nodding their heads, agreeing very much with Ning Xuan's rhetoric.

Seeing that the others had no objections, Ning Qi said again: "Next, we will make a detailed arrangement on how to implement these plans. ”

As he spoke, Ning Ji began to wave his hand to the others.

Just as everyone was about to discuss how to implement the plan, there was a sudden noise from outside.

Hearing that there was movement outside, Ning Zhen was very angry and was about to scold, but he realized that something was wrong.
