The diamond obtained by the seventh prince Zhu Hejian was naturally deliberately given to him by Zhao Junchen. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's just that Zhu Hejian has always been suspicious, in order to avoid arousing Zhu Hejian's suspicion, Zhao Junchen also deliberately changed his hands a few more times, first selling this diamond to a Jin merchant who had close ties with the East Factory, and then handed it over to the East Factory through the hands of this Jin merchant, and finally transferred it to Zhu Hejian through the East Factory.

When he was in Xuzhou, after Zhao Junchen got this diamond, he immediately thought of the use of diamond dust in harming people.

The Ming Dynasty did not produce diamonds, and they were not familiar with the characteristics of diamonds, so in this era, it was foolproof to poison others with diamond dust, and the probability of being found was extremely low, as Jia Lun commented: "This thing is an excellent thing for poisoning and assassination"!

However, there are many things that Zhao Junchen is not convenient to do in person, that is, he does not have the ruthlessness of uncompromising means, and he is not willing to take the great risk of these things, but Zhu Hejian has always had no scruples and no means, and if some things are done with the help of Zhu Hejian's hands, it is the best.

In particular, the political enemies of Zhao Junchen and Zhu Hejian coincide to a large extent, and the current crown prince Zhu and Yu are the common enemies of the two of them, and if Zhu Hejian is lucky enough to become the new prince in the future, then Emperor Deqing will become their common enemy......

With Zhu Hejian's audacity, maybe he will use diamond dust to poison them.

The most important thing is that once Zhu Hejian does this, this big handle will fall into the hands of Zhao Junchen, and Zhao Junchen can also be announced to the public at any time, so that Zhu Hejian will be ruined and betrayed.

At that time, if Zhao Junchen's other plans also go well, then Zhao Junchen's power will not only rise sharply, but also be able to get rid of all the political enemies of the DPRK and China through the hands of Zhu Hejian, and Zhu Hejian, a ruthless conspirator, will also be ruined, and finally Zhao Junchen will become the only winner, and the court will usher in the situation of Zhao Junchen's family dominance......

Of course, Zhao Junchen's plan is still risky, after all, Zhao Junchen himself is also one of Zhu Hejian's potential political enemies, if Zhu Hejian really wants to use diamond dust to poison his opponent, then Zhao Junchen will inevitably be one of Zhu Hejian's poisoning targets.

However, the benefits of this plan are very large, far outweighing the risks, so Zhao Junchen still decided to take a risk, not to mention that Zhao Junchen is very familiar with the characteristics of diamond dust, even if he really takes diamond dust, he has his own way to resolve it.

It's a pity that although Zhao Junchen's calculation is very clever, he is just a mortal after all, not a god who has a last resort, so Zhao Junchen never thought that after this diamond fell into the hands of the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian, the first victim was Zhao Shancai, whom he had always admired!

You must know that in order to protect Zhao Shancai before, Zhao Junchen almost put his life into it by mistake.

But now, Zhao Junchen gave the diamond to Zhu Hejian, and Zhu Hejian planned to use the diamond to poison Zhao Shancai.

However, this matter, even if Zhao Junchen knows the details, he will never take action to redeem it, otherwise it will destroy Zhao Junchen's overall plan.

Although Zhao Junchen admires Zhao Shancai very much, but for his ultimate goal, Zhao Junchen can only be indifferent and regret Zhao Shancai's fate.

In the final analysis, Zhao Junchen is just a selfish politician, and in the eyes of politicians, certain necessary sacrifices are worth it for the sake of the overall situation.

Of course, the overall situation in the eyes of politicians often represents themselves, and the sacrifices in the eyes of politicians often represent others.

This is the trade-off, this is the reality, this is the nature of human beings.

Today, Zhao Junchen still doesn't know Zhu Hejian's plan and Zhao Shancai's fate.

While Zhu Hejian was playing with the diamond, Zhao Junchen had already rushed back to the household yamen.

At this time, the Hubu Yamen was quite lively, and the 37 merchants from Huizhou and Zhejiang who Zhao Junchen invited to the banquet last night had already made up their minds to join the United Shipping Company under the instigation of Zhao Junchen, and in order to sign a cooperation contract with the Hubu as soon as possible, they all rushed to the Hubu Yamen early in the morning to file with the Hubu, submit materials, and sign the contract.

Although Zhao Junchen and these Huizhou and Zhejiang businessmen have finalized most of the cooperation issues, and the household department has long been prepared for today's situation, after all, there are still many trivial things to deal with, so when Zhao Junchen rushed to the household yamen, these Huizhou and Zhejiang businessmen still did not leave.

In addition, the household department is the Ming Dynasty's money and grain tax management yamen, directly affecting the future success or failure of Huizhou and Zhejiang merchants, these Huizhou and Zhejiang businessmen finally encountered an opportunity to understand the household department, naturally will not give up easily, but also want to take the opportunity to establish some contacts within the household department.

Therefore, when Zhao Junchen came to the household department, the situation he saw was quite festive, as if it was a small bazaar, the household yamen can be described as lively, the household officials and the Huizhou and Zhejiang businessmen hooked shoulders and called brothers, and the Huizhou and Zhejiang businessmen also gave full play to their long-sleeved dancing skills, and did not miss any opportunity to please the household officials.

After seeing such a scene from afar, Zhao Junchen's brows furrowed slightly.

He formed the United Shipping Company to take the opportunity to control the merchants of Huizhou and Zhejiang, rather than allowing the merchants of Huizhou and Zhejiang to take the opportunity to infiltrate his base camp.

"It seems that I still have to find an opportunity to secretly knock on the household officials, these Huizhejiang businessmen have always been wealthy, and they have always been willing to spend money when they buy officials, but there is no Qing official in my household department, if they are allowed to get in touch with each other, I am afraid I will be hollowed out by these Huizhejiang businessmen......"

While thinking in secret, Zhao Junchen's brows furrowed slightly.

However, Zhao Junchen did not immediately appear to interrupt the friendship between the two sides, but quietly came to the back hall of the household and entered his office room.

Then, Zhao Junchen sent someone to summon Jiang Qian for questioning.

It wasn't long before there was a knock on the door outside the room.

"Come in."

As Zhao Junchen's words fell, Jiang Qian in the household department was already holding a thick stack of documents and pushed the door in.

"Lord Shangshu, these are the materials submitted by the thirty-seven merchants of Huizhejiang and Hui, which list in detail the human, material, and financial resources they can provide after joining the United Shipping Company, and the lower officials have also finalized the dividend share after they join the United Shipping Company according to the information they submitted and in accordance with the rules set by Lord Shangshu. But there are still some details that need to be further revised and negotiated, but you and the two squires are not there, and the subordinates and colleagues do not dare to make their own decisions, and you need to finalize it personally! After you have finalized these details, the household department can sign a contract with the merchants of Huizhou and Zhejiang, and even if the United Shipping Company is officially established, it is only a ceremony away. ”

After placing the thick pile of documents in front of Zhao Junchen, Jiang Qian said respectfully.

After Zhao Junchen reached out and took the document, he first flipped through it roughly, and then nodded in satisfaction.

Then, Zhao Junchen looked up at Jiang Qian.

Jiang Qian is not very old, now he is only thirty-seven years old, he is considered a young Zhuang faction, but it is a pity that he does not show the energy that a young Zhuang faction should have at all, he is thin, his face is obscene, his eyes are dull, and his dark circles are very dazzling, which will always give people a feeling of overindulgence and lack of energy.

Obviously, Jiang Qian has been lingering in the Qinglou again these days.

After noticing Zhao Junchen's gaze, Jiang Qian hurriedly lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows, showing a submissive appearance.

Speaking of which, Jiang Qian in front of him is Zhao Junchen's real confidant, who has been helping Zhao Junchen control the situation in the household department, and he does not lack ability and loyalty, and he is not even greedy for money like other officials in the household department.

"This Jiang Qian, has been following me for many years, has always been loyal, hard-working, no lack of credit, not lack of hard work, although he always can't get rid of the lustful problem, but has never delayed the right thing, now the household department is about to cooperate with Huizhejiang businessmen, it is the time to employ people, but he should also be promoted......"

Zhao Junchen thought secretly.
