Chapter 917 What is the intention?
Dexing Zhai, Shen Shi is about to end, and Jiang Anyi arrived in the dust.
Seeing Jiang Anyi stepping into the house, Shi Chongren, who was sitting in the center, stood up and took a few steps forward, and said with a smile: "Master Jiang, Xiao Wang came rashly, and I hope that Master Jiang will not blame." "When he was in Mobei camp, Emperor Su asked Shi Chongren to follow Jiang Anyi to learn poetry, and then Shi Chongren called him Jiang Shi.
Jiang Anyi bowed and saluted, and said: "The minister has seen the prince of Luo, it is a blessing for the prince to come to Huazhou, and the minister hopes to forgive the sin when he is late." ”
A few words of non-nutritious response, the guests and hosts sat down, Jiang Anyi expressed his sorrow for the emperor, Shi Chongren comforted a few words, and briefly talked about the situation of the vassal king's departure from Beijing.
On the treetops of the moon, everyone got up to say goodbye, and Shi Chongren said with a smile: "Master Jiang, Xiao Wang still has some things to ask you for, please stay for a while." "Everyone knows that since Lord Luo has picked out his identity, he will not simply visit here, I don't know what his intentions are.
Fang Shishu glanced at Jiang Anyi when he left, Emperor Su's return to heaven is bad news for Jiang Anyi, after the new emperor ascends the throne, he will not trust this young important minister as much as before, King Luo is in a hurry to come to Huazhou in less than a month, and he will never just come to see the beautiful scenery of Xiangxueju, Huazhou is initially decided, people are at peace, and all industries are thriving, if the court transfers Jiang Anyi away, it will be a heavy blow to the recovery of Huazhou.
Tea smoke curling, Shi Chongren pondered for a moment, and said: "Before my father returned to heaven, he made a special trip to summon Xiao Wang into the palace and gave an explanation to Xiao Wang about the annexation of Wuyang Mansion in the domain. The father said that the state is the center of the northwest, and the state is determined by the northwest, and the northwest is ruled by the court, and the court has no worries about the northwest, and the stability of the northwest is inseparable from you. ”
Jiang Anyi's eyes were slightly moist, and he bowed and said: "How can the minister be so virtuous, if the emperor is so favored, even if he is broken, it will be difficult to repay him." ”
Shi Chongren sighed: "The father and the emperor and the Jiang master get along, and it will definitely become a good story in the history books." Xiao Wang is young and shallow, and he was ordered by his father to merge the state, and he still has to rely on Jiang Shi for help. ”
Jiang Anyi stood up, bowed and said: "It is the duty of a minister to serve the country, and the minister naturally obeys the orders of the prince." ”
Shi Chongren was very satisfied with Jiang Anyi's attitude, and the thought flashed in his heart, if Jiang Anyi could assist him like he did to his father, then the five northwestern states (Bingzhou, Huazhou, Qingzhou, Qizhou, Mengzhou) plus Lingzhou, Louzhou, and Jiangzhou behind him should also only look at their own horses, and the twenty-seven states in the world can control eight states, nearly one-third of Zheng Guo is in hand, plus the 160,000 soldiers of the Anxi Protectorate and 50,000 soldiers, Shi Chongren can't help but feel a little excited.
After taking a sip of tea to stabilize his mood, Shi Chongren said with a smile: "Although Bingzhou is a large state in the northwest, it is too far behind compared to Chuzhou, Chuzhou's tax last year was 4.37 million taels, and Bingzhou was only 2.8 million, which is more than 1 million yuan worse than Huazhou, and it is in vain to bear the name of a big state." Xiao Wang annexed the state, in addition to the tens of thousands of taels of silver given by the court, he had to rely on the support of the state on weekdays, but the state map had a false name, Xiao Wang thought that he was still friendly with Jiang Shi, so he came to fight the autumn breeze. ”
Jiang Anyi's eyes froze, King Luo really didn't have good intentions, he stretched out his hand to ask for silver, and the Shi family acted unscrupulously. After pondering for a moment, Jiang Anyi asked, "What does the prince command?" ”
Shi Chongren smiled lightly: "Xiao Wang heard that Jiang Shi is a bold person, when the Son of Heaven was still the prince, he sold a million taels of silver to help him buy Yanshan Villa, and the perfume shop in Beijing is making gold every day, I heard that Jiang Shi gave it to the palace for nothing, tsk, don't hide it from Jiang Shi, Xiao Wang heard these rumors, his eyes were red and envious. ”
Saying that, Shi Chongren also evoked sadness, and said with a sigh: "Xiao Wang was fun when he first came out of the palace to build a mansion, and the silver of 20,000 taels a year was not enough at all, I remember that it was October, Xiao Wang took a fancy to a jade pot, the store offered a price of 1,400 taels, and there were only more than 2,000 taels of silver left in the house, and there were three months for the New Year, Master Zhuang insisted on not giving money, alas, the days without money were really sad." ”
Jiang Anyi was unhappy in his heart, his own money was not rushed by the water, the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother dug up half of the perfume industry, and it seemed that King Luo was going to open his mouth. Holding back his anger, Jiang Anyi said: "King Luo might as well say it if he has something to say." ”
Shi Chongren chuckled twice and said: "Xiao Wang heard of the reputation of Xiangxueju when he was in the capital, and after seeing it with his own eyes, he felt that he deserved it, Xiao Wang really liked the scenery of Xiangxueju." Boss Guo waved his hand and gave Dexingzhai to Xiao Wang, if others Xiao Wang really didn't dare to accept it, but Boss Guo was Jiang Shi's hair small, and he would definitely not harm the orphan, so Xiao Wang accepted it. ”
Jiang Anyi just came, and he didn't know that Guo Huaili gave Dexing Zhai to King Luo, and he understood Guo Huaili's mind as soon as he thought about it, this Guo fat man wanted to hug Lord Luo's thigh, but he never did a loss-making business. However, Shi Chongren has something to say in his words, everyone knows that Guo Huaili's business is supported by Jiang Anyi, and King Luo takes Xingzhai as a guide, and his plans are very big.
Displeased in his heart, Jiang Anyi sat silently, the room was awkwardly quiet, Shi Chongren was a little annoyed, this Jiang Anyi is far less respectful to this king than his father and the crown prince, don't you think that you can be bullied, the more this is the case, the more this king has to bite hard, see what you can do with me?
Thinking of this, Shi Chongren lightly knocked the teacup, made a crisp sound, and said quietly: "Master Jiang, you know, my father and the emperor's three sons are the most unfavorable, so there is no savings in the mansion, this time the mother concubine came to Wuyang Mansion with me, and the state did not even prepare the palace, Xiao Wang is ashamed of his mother." ”
Jiang Anyi couldn't help but be silent, and said: "Concubine Liu came from afar, and the ministers should do their best to welcome them, and the ministers are willing to offer 200,000 taels of silver to congratulate the concubine Qiaoju." ”
Shi Chongren sneered in his heart, sure enough, Jiang Anyi looked down on himself, Shi Chongwei could pay 1 million taels if he bought a Yanshan Villa, and he only gave 200,000 taels when he brought out his mother's concubine.
"Master Jiang is too polite, Xiao Wang deserves it", Shi Chongren said with a smile: "Xiao Wang just came to the domain and accepted Jiang Shi's silver, which will definitely cause discussion." Those who know understand that the relationship between Xiao Wang and Jiang Shi is extraordinary, and those who don't know still think that Xiao Wang intends to blackmail, thank you Jiang Shi, don't mention this matter again. ”
Jiang Anyi had a headache, this Shi Chongren was young, but he had a lot of eyes, and 200,000 taels of silver couldn't satisfy his appetite, I don't know what he wanted?
I only heard Shi Chongren say seemingly unintentionally: "When Xiao Wang came to Xiangxueju, he realized that there is such a fairyland in the world, or if the mother concubine can live here permanently when she is free, she will definitely be able to prolong her life, Master Jiang, what do you say." ”
Jiang Anyi understood, Shi Chongren fell in love with Xiangxueju, but the proportion of this Xiangxueju Jiang family is not large, his own family accounts for 30% in the name of Tong'er, the Guo family accounts for 20%, and the Li family accounts for 20%, originally gave Yu Shi 10%, but Yu Shi refused, and this 10% was given to Liu Yixing, Tian Shoulou, Yu Qingshan and others who followed him, 10% was given to the officials of Huazhou, and the remaining 10% was given to the Ning family, the magnates who lived in Huazhou. The Jiang family's three-thirds were given to An Yong one percent, and Jiang Anyi took out another one, three points of which were given to Tian Shaoqiu, and seven points were given to the guards around him, and Jiang Anyi's real property was only one percent. Shi Chongren didn't know the inside story, thinking that Xiangxueju was the same as perfume, and Jiang Anyi could directly get an idea.
Seeing that Jiang Anyi was silent, Shi Chongren's face changed, and he said everything so clearly, Jiang Anyi was still silent, clearly looking down on himself. My father is dead, Jiang Anyi has passed through Huazhou, his wings are stiff, it seems that he has other thoughts, how can you make you happy if you don't let you be lonely.
Just now, I thought that I could get Jiang Anyi's dedicated assistance to call for wind and rain in the northwest, but it seemed that I was delusional. Weighing on the teacup, Shi Chongren stood up with a blushing face and said, "Lone is a little tired, Master Jiang will go back." ”
Jiang Anyi knew that he had offended Shi Chongren, and he had a rough discussion with Zhang Keji before he came, but Shi Chongren's intention was unknown, so he should try his best to meet his preferences. Bingzhou is stuck on the road to the east of Huazhou, and if King Luo sets up obstacles in Bingzhou, Huazhou's commerce and trade will be greatly damaged. However, he only has a hundred percent of the shares in his hands, and seeing Shi Chongren like this, it is too little to give it all to him.
When I remembered it, I received a report from Li Laigao that the brick burning on the Gobi had been successful, and the military town was quickly erected, and the construction of another military village in the jade mine had been started. The mining value of jade ore is much greater than that of gold mine, and if the mined jade can be carved and the value is doubled, Huazhou is not an ordinary jade worker, but there are not many masters. Jiang Anyi glanced at Shi Chongren, the Liu family lived in Lou Governor Han, where green jade is produced, and there are many jade craftsmen in the Liu family, or let Shi Chongren and the Liu family get involved in the jade mine, it is a win-win situation.
Jiang Anyi chuckled and said: "Lord Luo, don't be angry, the minister is not a stingy person, the reason why he is silent is because Xiangxue Juchen only has a single share, and it is really difficult to speak." ”
Shi Chongren was stunned for a moment, Jiang Anyi only had one component in Xiangxueju, he really didn't expect it, Jiang Anyi shouldn't lie to himself about this matter, let Long Wei secretly check and know. Jiang Anyi didn't hide it, and said a little about the shares of Xiangxueju, Shi Chongren's face softened, sat back in the chair, and said in a sincere tone: "Xiao Wang misunderstood Master Jiang, and I hope that Master Jiang sees that Xiao Wang is young and ignorant and acts recklessly, so don't blame." ”
Jiang Anyi thought to himself, the eight words of youth and ignorance and recklessness do not match you at all, and if you want to talk about it, you are also black-hearted and have a city government. Jiang Anyi chuckled and said: "The prince is filial, and Jiang is very moved. Some time ago, Jiang led troops to clear the Gobi horse thieves and accidentally discovered a jade mine. ”
Shi Chongren's spirit was lifted, and the Liu family was rich in jade mines, supporting the family's nearly 10,000 people to eat, if it was a rich mine, it was far better than Xiangxueju's income. Shi Chongren said with a smile: "Master Jiang is lucky, he can make a fortune when he goes to suppress bandits, I don't know how big the scale of that mine is?" ”
Jiang Anyi said: "The ministers sent people to secretly see it, it will not be less than one million catties, and most of them are the best sheep fat jade. ”
Gold is priceless and jade is priceless, Shi Chongren straightened up in surprise, and quickly calculated in his heart, if it is really as Jiang Anyi said, this jade mine can at least have the price of ten million taels of gold, even if he gets one percent, it is also a million taels of gold, which is equivalent to twenty million taels of silver. With so much money, not to mention equipping 600 guards, it is not difficult to organize an army of 60,000.
Reaching out to take the teapot to pour tea for Jiang Anyi, Shi Chongren tried his best to hide the joy in his heart, but his slightly trembling hand still spilled the tea. Shi Chongren put down the teapot and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Mr. Zhuang often teaches Xiao Wang to have calm in every big event, it seems that Xiao Wang's cultivation is not enough, and when he heard this jade mine, he was impetuous, which made Jiang Shi smile." ”
Jiang Anyi's eyes showed appreciation, and he sighed: "The prince is not yet twenty years old, he can do this, Jiang is ashamed of himself, there are so many beings in the world, how many people can be like the prince, why should the prince be too humble." ”
Shi Chongren smiled, you must know that Jiang Anyi is now very important in Shilin, if the chance of getting his praise and ranking will be doubled, it can be seen that Jiang Anyi is indeed sincerely praised, just like when he was a child, he was praised by his husband, Shi Chongren was indeed very happy.
Jiang Anyi looked at Shi Chongren's energetic face, thinking of such a precocious and decisive Lord Luo, coupled with the reputation of a virtuous king, the court is afraid that it will be troublesome.
