Zhou Yanru said directly: "The north and the south are directly subordinate, you must choose one of the two, and the five northwest provinces must choose the third." ”

"I want Nan Zhili. I want eighty percent of the tax money of the household department. Zhou Zhengdao.

Zhou Yanru said: "No, the treasury is not much, you have a ticket number, five or five points." ”

Zhou Zhengdao: "I account for three of the five northwestern provinces, at least seventy-three. ”

Zhou Yanru stared at Zhou Zheng for a moment, and said, "I think we should divide the tax, the field tax, customs duties, etc. belong to me, and the commercial tax, miscellaneous tax, etc. belong to you." ”

Zhou Zheng thought for a while and said, "Okay." You have to support me in the reform of commercial taxes and other miscellaneous taxes. ”

Zhou Yanru nodded and said, "This is no problem." ”

Li Banghua and Yang Sichang looked at Zhou Yanru, and Zhou Zheng and the two of them unabashedly 'traded' the government and government, with indescribable expressions on their faces.

Yang Sichang was deeply shocked, even in the chaotic Chongzhen Dynasty, there had never been such a scene, no powerful minister could teach the state government so privately, all of them were cautious and cautious, compromised and retreated.

How is the behavior of Zhou Zheng and Zhou Yanru different from the bargaining of those shabby businessmen?

It was the first time for Li Banghua to see such a scene, and his expression was sluggish.

His head was buzzing, and only one thought was echoing: What were they talking about?

The division between Zhou Zheng and Zhou Yanru continued, and the division of power, personnel, money, and food inside and outside Beijing was more detailed, as if to determine the sphere of influence, and at the same time to give each other support in some areas.

After a good meal of wine and food, the four of them barely moved any chopsticks, and the heat became cold.

I don't know how long it took, Zhou Yanru said: "Officials at all levels, I will ask Li Rixuan and Sun Chuanting to draw up a list, and after tomorrow's ceremony, we will meet again." ”

Zhou Zheng picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Thank you Yuanfu." ”

Zhou Yanru got a lot of military power, and he pierced Yang Sichang such a big nail in Zhou Zheng's forces, he was happy in his heart, and said with a rather reserved face: "We should also work hard to conquer Xibo, we will be busy next year." ”

The two clinked glasses, looked at each other, and invariably looked at each other.

Li Banghua and Yang Sichang seemed to have gone through a period of shock, and gradually calmed down, as if they hadn't heard anything.

After drinking a cup, Zhou Zheng picked up the chopsticks, took a casual bite, and said: "Lu Xiangsheng will come back soon, first let him succeed Li Shangshu and be the secretary of the military department for a while, and then go to Liaodong as the secretary of the military department." ”

Zhou Yanru nodded and said: "This is no problem, when the military reform is implemented, they will be given a title, and Wu Sangui and other remnants must also be exterminated as soon as possible." ”

Zhou Zheng nodded and said: "Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Huguang are basically cleared, and generals are also sent to guard the town, Mangui, Zhao Shujiao, and Cao Bianjiao's cavalry will continue to pursue, and take the opportunity to also clean up Yunnan, Liangguang and other places." ”

Militarily, Zhou Yanru was unreasonable, pondered for a moment, and said, "I know that Jianyu sent a messenger over, what are you going to do?" ”

Zhou Zheng said casually: "Do your best, and drag the rest." ”

Zhou Yanru understood that Zhou Zheng was going to consume Jianyu, and the so-called negotiation was just a scene effort, so as not to jump off the wall in a hurry.

Li Banghua was carried into the cabinet, lost his authority, and had no right to speak.

Yang Sichang has been very calm, did not interject, let alone say anything.

The topic of Zhou Zheng and Zhou Yanru began to turn to 'changing the law', there was a small talk without a match, these topics should be slowly run in in the future, and now talking about this is nothing more than a measure in advance.

I don't know how long it took, but a small head poked out of the door.

Zhou Zheng hadn't noticed it yet, looked at the little guy, and couldn't help but smile and said, "What's the matter, come in and talk about it." ”

The little guy who probed his brain was Zhou Deyu, Zhou Fang's eldest son, and Zhou Zheng's eldest nephew. Qiankun Audiobook.com

The little guy was twelve years old, and when he heard Zhou Zheng's words, he hurriedly turned around seriously, walked in, raised his hand and said, "Second uncle." I've seen you. ”

Zhou Yanru was stunned for a moment, smiled carefully, and then said, "You Hengping's son, right?" I remember your son seems to be five or six years old. ”

The little guy hurriedly turned to Zhou Yanru and said, "Zhou Deyu has seen Yuanfu. ”

Zhou Yanru suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, good, worthy of the Zhou family's Qilin'er, well, I came in a hurry today, I didn't bring anything, this jade pendant is given to you." ”

The little guy was stunned and looked at Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng smiled and said: "Elder gift, don't dare to resign, next." ”

The little guy hurriedly stepped forward, took it with both hands, and said, "Xie Yuanfu." ”

Zhou Yanru touched his beard and said with a satisfied smile: "Study, study hard, and become the pillar of the country like your father and your second uncle in the future." ”

The little guy raised his hand and said, "Xie Yuanfu." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to turn to Zhou Zheng to talk about things, Li Banghua suddenly smiled, took out a book from his arms, and said to the little guy: "I have no long things, this book is what I often read, and I give it to you." ”

The little guy was stunned, why did he give gifts?

Zhou Zheng was amused in his heart, nodded and said, "Take it." ”

The little guy had to accept it and thanked Li Banghua again.

Li Banghua smiled and nodded slightly.

The little guy turned to Zhou Zheng at this time, and just as he was about to speak, Yang Sichang also spoke, saying, "I just came out of prison and there is nothing." In this way, if you are willing, I will accept you as a closed disciple, and I will pour my life into you, and I will never hide my selfishness. ”

Zhou Dewei blinked, he knew Yang Sichang, it's just, others give gifts, you accept apprentices, what kind of road is this?

Zhou De was stunned, but others wouldn't.

Zhou Yanru looked at Yang Sichang with deep eyes, he originally thought that Yang Sichang had fallen to him, but Yang Sichang wanted to accept Zhou Zheng's nephew as a closed disciple, so he had to think about it carefully.

Li Banghua was moved, Yang Sichang's 'life strength' is not only his knowledge and ability, but also his connections and networks. If this kid really becomes Yang Sichang's shut-in, how will the situation change must be carefully considered.

Zhou Zheng stared at Yang Sichang, this person's movements are becoming more and more interesting.

"Second uncle?" Zhou Dewei looked at Zhou Zheng and called out. Even if he is young, he doesn't know the severity of such a thing.

Zhou Zheng sighed, as if he had come to his senses, and said with a smile: "What did you do just now?" ”

Zhou Dewei glanced at Yang Sichang and said, "Uncle Liuzhen is here, and he said that it was the matter of Nanzhili's gang. ”

Zhou Zheng picked up the wine glass casually and said with a smile: "How much do you know?" ”

The little guy thought about it seriously and said, "Liuzhen said, it seems that someone is picking the head, and what is the series." ”

Zhou Zheng took a sip of wine and put down his glass with a calm expression.

Zhou Yanru's face was gloomy, he had the majority of the court in the court, if someone called the court, it would be to do things behind his back, slap him in the face, and sweep his prestige!

Zhou Yanru quickly returned to normal, looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "Zhengyun, don't worry, if someone messes around, I will be the first to let go!" ”

Zhou Zheng looked at the south with a faint gaze, and said: "Lu Xiangsheng is about to return to the northwest of Beijing, and the dust has settled, and those reverse cases will be closed before the end of the year, Yuanfu, this time, you don't have to stop it." ”

Just finished carving up with Zhou Zheng, it is impossible to tear his face in a blink of an eye, Zhou Yanru knew that Zhou Zheng had been premeditated for a long time, and he would not stop easily, so he had to say: "You must pay attention to proportion, don't make a big move, and affect the stability of the court." We have a lot to do next year, and we need to stabilize people's hearts. ”
