Han Jiayan said with some regret: "It's a pity, Liu Quanshan said that he wanted to give his father a manor, and that Zhang Yugang said that it was 3,000 acres of fertile land for our Han family, and ten Meiji collected from the Western Regions." ”

The smile on Han Qi's face gradually faded, and he snorted coldly: "The Son of Heaven did not name me to be responsible for the bidding for grain this time, of course, I can meddle in anything as the prime minister, but the problem is that the Son of Heaven is very short of money and food at the moment, if I interfere, it will inevitably make the Son of Heaven angry, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”

Han Jiayan has been by his father's side all these years, and he has long been accustomed to receiving gifts, money, fields, people, and things, and the greed in his heart has also been ingrained, thinking that the ten Western Regions Meiji were originally planning to secretly find a place to hide, he was a little reluctant in his heart, and asked: "According to what my father said, this time Zhang Bin presided over the grain bidding, the money and grain obtained may surprise people, Zhang Bin just entered the officialdom and did not understand the rules, but Wu Chong was there...... Didn't get angry with your father? ”

When Han Jiayan said these words, he looked like he took it for granted, and Han Qi just glared at his son and didn't blame much.

The reason for this is because for many years, such a large piece of fat as this bidding, according to the practice of officialdom, finally gave half of the treasury of the three divisions, and the other half was naturally to be 'shared' by the officials of the relevant yamen.

And Han Qi has a transcendent status and is the prime minister, even if his power has been compressed in the past two years because of the rise of Wang Anshi, he is still the first person in the court, according to the rules, he will get the largest piece of any "cake".

Speaking of which, this rule has also been challenged by some people over the years, such as Fan Zhongyan back then, what happened in the end, he was not disgraced, and finally died of exhaustion on the way to office under the sinister methods of political enemies.

In the two years since Wang Anshi took office, he has been the same as Fan Zhongyan at the beginning, and he has never shared any "cake".

Since ancient times, being unsociable will attract hatred and exclusion, so Wang Anshi has a lot of enemies, but fortunately, Wang Anshi gave birth to a good son, and Wang Yan secretly carried his Lao Tzu behind his back and took over every "share of food".

Mingyue Building, which ranks 26th among the 72 main stores, is one of the big "cake sharing"

"I heard that Wu Chong couldn't sleep at night in order to raise grain and grass for the 100,000 troops in the northwest." Han Qi frowned slightly, shook his head and said: "At this time, I don't want anyone to share the proceeds of the bidding, otherwise even if Zhang Bin goes to the Son of Heaven, it is impossible to so easily place the bidding place in the guild of this grain store, not in the Yamen of the Third Division." ”

"Got it." Han Jiayan said this, but secretly muttered in his heart, the cake eaten this time is not small, as a father, I am afraid that there will be at least 50,000 shares, my father would never refuse in the past, when did he become so honest and self-controlled?

Han Qi ignored his son, and said a little inexplicably: "The Son of Heaven temporarily sent Li Shunju over to participate in this bidding and auction throughout the whole process, although he is a eunuch, but he came on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and I can't be too late." ”

Han Qi did not explain to his favorite son why he didn't want to get involved in the "sharing of food" from this bidding, and he felt more and more that the Son of Heaven's fear of him had reached an extremely dangerous level.

At the moment, he is only thinking about how to hand over the position of prime minister decently, and at this time, it is better not to lose a big one because of a small one.

Also, although Han Qi has selfish intentions and a greedy side for himself and his family, he never wants the Great Song Dynasty to fall, but he obviously feels that the Great Song Dynasty has begun to decline, and this decline is not because of the two foreign enemies of Western Xia and Liao, but because of problems within the imperial court.

"Maybe it's because corruption has become a trend...... The Great Song Dynasty can't go on like this, someone has to come forward to turn the tide and change all this. ”

Wang Anshi ...... What's the use of just being upright, he can't even control his son and the subordinates around him, he can't do it. ”

Han Qi's thoughts turned in his heart, and he recalled all the talented people in the court in his mind, no one has the ability and character to turn the tide, as well as the means and courage.

At a certain moment, Zhang Bin's face suddenly appeared in his mind, but then he shook his head, this son may be okay, but he is too young, and when he has the status of the left and right court, it will be at least twenty years later, it seems that it is too late.

Besides, there is no shortage of amazing geniuses among the hundreds of millions of people in the Great Song Dynasty, but there are not many who can go to the end, Zhang Bin always feels a little eager to do things, as if something terrifying is chasing him...... This talent is rare, so I need to find a chance to train it when I go back.

The businessmen have been in place, and the small officials and petty officials of the three divisions of the imperial court and the transfer department have also been in place, and they were temporarily dispatched by Zhang Bin, and Cai Jing, Su Guo, Zhang Santao and Sun Guodong, who were staring at several key links at the scene, also arrived in their respective positions in high spirits.

But the five bigwigs who can sit on the high platform and Zhang Bin, the bidding envoy has not yet been put in place.

Zhang Bin naturally didn't hold his own identity, so he had to wait for a later time, in fact, he rushed over early in the morning, but at this time he was accompanying Li Shunju who came from the palace.

This is not only because Li Shunju is the eye of the Son of Heaven and represents the Son of Heaven, but also because Li Shunju brought the Son of Heaven's message.

"The official family said that as long as Ru Linlang can raise enough money and food for me, I will take care of other things for you." In the rest room prepared for Li Shunju, Li Shunju looked at Zhang Bin's eyes and said gently.

Zhang Bin's face immediately showed gratitude, and he quickly got up and bowed in the direction of the palace, and said, "Thank you for the love of my emperor, and I will definitely not disappoint my emperor." ”

Although Zhao Ji, the son of heaven, is not the real master of the Great Song Dynasty, and almost every slightly important matter has to be discussed with the prime minister and courtiers, after all, he is the "chairman" of the huge "company" of the Great Song Dynasty, the largest "shareholder", and the kind that holds shares for a long time.

If you can gain Zhao Ji's trust and make Zhao Ji your backer, it will naturally be much easier to do all kinds of things.

Wang Anshi is an example of this, with what Wang Anshi did, if it weren't for Zhao Ji's full support, he would have known that he would have been sent to that remote state by a huge amount of people whose interests were damaged and waited for death.

"Father-in-law, the lower officials are worried that there will be people making trouble in today's bidding, those officials of the third division and the forbidden army outside the courtyard, the lower officials can't call it, and if the lower officials use thunderous means, they will also borrow the twenty inner guards brought by the father-in-law." The two of them walked towards the bidding hall together, and Zhang Bin suddenly whispered.

Li Shunju hesitated slightly, turned around and waved his hand to call one of the twenty guards behind him to take the lead, and ordered: "Chen Xiaodong, during today's bidding process, the twenty of you will listen to Ru Linlang's dispatch. ”

The guard glanced at Zhang Bin, bowed down and said, "I understand my humble duties." ”
