Zhou Zheng looked at Jiang Ninghou, looked at it slightly, and said, "At this time, I'm very curious, who came to you to be this lobbyist?" ”

He just cleaned up Yang Sichang, Li Hengbing, Li Banghua, Qian Qianyi, and sent away Zhou Yanrudu's old forces, so soon someone came to the door?

Jiang Ninghou looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "Just say whether to give it or not?" ”

Zhou Zheng looked at Jiang Ninghou with a thoughtful expression.

In his presupposition, there are more than 48 seats in this council, but it is impossible to open up all at once, and it needs to be slowly developed and improved.

As for the ingredients in it, it is natural to cover every stratum and hear all the voices of the whole country.

Seeing that Zhou Zheng was silent, the Marquis of Jiang Ning said: "Five thousand acres, in addition, we will donate another 300,000 silver to the imperial court, and we are also willing to solve some of your affairs for you." ”

Zhou Zheng was even more curious, and said, "Reveal a little, right?" If I don't have the bottom of my heart, you won't get anything. ”

Jiang Ninghou frowned slightly, and then said: "You should know that Yang Sichang and the others are not one or two people, but the vast majority of people. They all know that your council will be very useful and they are willing to participate. I think that's a good thing and a great help for you. ”

Zhou Zheng nodded quietly, most of these people are involved with Yang Sichang and others, but they are not so directly connected, but they also hope that they can succeed.

Zhou Zheng picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said, "Do you want to take advantage of such a development of power, and it is another wave of Yang Sichang, Li Hengbing?" ”

Jiang Ninghou shook his head lightly and said, "They are too anxious. Someone told me that the changes between Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi, no matter how vigorous they were, were overthrown as soon as they left, and Wang Anshi is still full of infamy. Dingguo Gong, you are an immortal minister, whether it is me or others, I hope to have a good death. And we are all laymen, who don't ask for anything left in the history books, but only hope that when we are alive, we will seek some wealth and stability. ”

Zhou Zheng was a little surprised, this Jiang Ninghou had always been wise and foolish before?

Zhou Zheng thought about it in his heart, and said: "According to the plan, each province has two places, and the others are supplemented by the imperial court and the military, if you want five places at once, it will destroy the balance, and others may not agree, I need to consider it." ”

Jiang Ninghou took a deep breath, his expression was a little serious, and said: "I will persuade the emperor to give up all the assets of the royal family, such as acres and manors except for the palace, but the palace will keep it, and just pay the palace 200,000 taels a year." ”

Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows, touched his chin, and said, "You all value this council so much?" ”

Jiang Ninghou said: "Dingguo Gong should know that there are no secrets in this world, and it is impossible for you to talk to so many people without leaking any rumors." ”

Zhou Zheng had already thought about it and said, "Indeed, this council will override the cabinet in the future, but this will not make you pay such a big price, right?" And, don't you think that the emperor will one day return to power? ”

Jiang Ninghou said: "We can't see what will happen in the future, we have to take care of the present...... After all, Dingguo Gong is not yet forty years old. ”

Zhou Zheng was completely stunned at this time, these people, perhaps expecting Zhu Cihong to become the Ming Emperor of the Qiangang dictatorship again, were also betting, worried that Zhou was Cao Cao, and the second generation of the Zhou family would become Cao Pi and become self-reliant on behalf of Ming.

It is completely in line with the style of these Ming Dynasty scholars, who will always bet on many sides and ride the wall to ensure that the interests can still be guaranteed in the changing situation.

Zhou Zheng picked up the teacup again and said, "It's not enough." ”

Jiang Ninghou naturally also knew, and said: "Your change is still at the provincial government level, and you can't go down at all, with our support, you can advance quickly, our strength, you will slowly see, only five seats, you will make a lot of money." The acres of land, the silver doubled again, and the salt, tea, and iron were not touched by them. ”

Zhou Zhengdao: "I want five million in silver, 10,000 acres of land, without these, don't count on it." ”

Jiang Ninghou sighed lightly in his heart, after all, he had no qualifications to negotiate, so he was almost slaughtered.

"I'll tell them, but at such a big price, it should be worth two squires." Jiangning Hou said.

"One, Ministry of Works." Zhou Zhengdao.

Listening to Zhou Zheng's resolute tone, Jiang Ninghou nodded silently and said, "Okay." ”

With so many benefits, Zhou Zheng was in a good mood and said: "Let's go, try my wife's craftsmanship, she didn't cook before, and she only started after having children, and she has been lazy in the past few years, but she can still eat......"

Jiang Ninghou could only laugh when he saw that Zhou Zheng left him, and sighed in his heart, the previous kind of harmonious relationship without interest was gone forever.

At the dinner table, not only Zhou Zheng and Jiang Ninghou, but also one more Zhou Dehui.

The original little guy is now sixteen years old, and he is a young man, and the above proposed Zhou Ding's family couldn't close his mouth happily, and pulled Shangguan Qing to look at it all day long, to choose the best entry.

In addition, the Zhou family, who is not anxious about going out on weekdays, often participates in various gatherings of women in the capital, all to see her daughter-in-law.

The Zhou family is now in full swing, and I don't know how many people want to send their daughters in, so they naturally struggle to stammer.

Zhou Dewei didn't realize it, he soaked in the army all day long, and he wanted to make contributions like his second uncle.

Zhou Zheng also intended to train him and arranged a lot of opportunities for him.

Jiang Ninghou looked at Zhou Deyu and knew that he was not Zhou Zheng's parent, so his enthusiasm decreased a lot, and he also praised a few words.

Zhou Dewei ignored this Jiang Ninghou who came out of nowhere, his eyes were burning, and he looked at Zhou Zhengdao with hope: "Second uncle, is the Northern Expedition coming?" ”

Zhou Zheng was eating and said, "Not this year, let's try and test first." ”

In a war with Jianguo, the most important thing is the decisive battle of the main force, if you can't solve the main force of Jianyu in a war, then this combat power will become a war of attrition, and there is no future.

And Jianyu obviously will not fight a decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty, even if they defeat the Ming Dynasty, they will lose a lot, without the population of the Ming Dynasty, the land heritage, it is extremely difficult for them to slow down.

Before the strategy of the Ming Dynasty was to advance gradually, step by step, after more than two years, coupled with Huang Taiji's illness and death, the little emperor succeeded to the throne, which was indeed an excellent opportunity.

"Next year?" Zhou Dewei grasped the key and stretched out his head.

Zhou Zheng looked at the little guy's eagerness, thought about it, and said, "If you want to go, you have to convince your sister-in-law." ”

Zhou Dewei had a headache when he remembered the old lady who had chosen his wife all day long, and he bowed his head sullenly to pick up rice.

Jiang Ninghou chuckled lightly and did not interject.

Zhou Zheng glanced at Jiang Ninghou, touched a glass with him, and thought about the south in his heart.

Yang Sichang will have to familiarize himself with the naval battle and the situation in Taiwan for a while, and perhaps, he will have to wait until next year.

In other words, there may be two wars next year, and neither of them will end in a short time.

Zhou Zheng considered in his heart whether Daming's situation could be supported.
