Chapter 714: Curves Save the Country

To understand Lang Zhengchun's thoughts, it is actually not difficult to Emperor Hongyan 2: The latest chapter of the Demon Phoenix in the Deep Palace. For the emperor, there are two things that matter, one is dignity, and the other is interests. The dignified person is the one who is worshipped and respected. Those who have interests must be beneficial to themselves and the country.

To put it bluntly, it's best to do everything according to your own will, and it's best to do what you want others to do. Those who are courtiers must honestly act according to the emperor's thoughts.

Song Zheng is a foreign minister, so naturally he doesn't need to be loyal to Shu, and he can't follow Lang Zhengchun's wishes everywhere, otherwise, he doesn't even know how he died. However, Song Zheng also has a way. Don't you want to save face? That's too easy to say, I'll lower my posture, be respectful, not arrogant, and shoot more high-quality sycophants, which will naturally give you a good breath.

As for the benefits, Song Zheng didn't ask for so much: just sign the covenant and let Huitong Commerce and Trade enter by the way, then it would be fine. The covenant does not seek any bargaining from the Qi country, and the two sides are equal, regardless of which is higher or lower. As for the business and trade bank, it is also easy to do, please let the royal family of Shu become a shareholder, send someone to supervise, we are only responsible for operation and management, and everyone can make money. As for the rewards and the like, you can do it yourself, and it won't fall into my hands anyway.

After Song Zheng patted the sycophants for a while, he finally relieved Lang Zhengchun. Then, he sent the articles of association he had prepared to Lang Zhengchun Yulan.

Lang Zhengchun looked at it, the specific charter has not changed much from what Song Zheng mentioned before, and it belongs to the kind of hello and I am good. Specifically, the two sides set up legitimate envoys for each other and strengthened exchanges. When encountering the birth of the prince, the new emperor's accession to the throne, the queen mother, etc., they sent letters to each other to congratulate or mourn. Moreover, the two sides agreed that the dispatch of missions would not be affected by state-to-state relations.

No one can say who will suffer from this kind of thing, but only establish a communication channel. That's what the Song and Liao did back then, and there is a precedent to be found. From the perspective of future generations, this is equivalent to the formal establishment of diplomatic relations between countries.

As for Huitong Trading Company, Lang Zhengchun was a little hesitant. However, Song Zheng thought it through. After explaining in detail to Lang Zhengchun the operation mechanism of Huitong Commercial and Trade Bank, Song Zheng proposed a series of measures and took the initiative to accept the supervision of Shu. The most important thing is to let the Shu royal family become a shareholder, and the profits are distributed according to the shares, which is equivalent to giving the Shu emperor a channel to make money.

Who said that the emperor was not short of money? The emperors of all dynasties had their own property as their own small treasury, otherwise, what would the emperor do, and he would have to consult with the ministers before he could use the public funds, wouldn't he be annoyed?

Of course, Song Zheng is not so selfless, and after vaguely leaving the Huitong Trading House as his own business, Lang Zhengchun nodded silently.

At this moment, Lang Zhengchun's psychology was balanced: I allow you Song Zheng to make money by trading in my Shu Kingdom, which is the greatest reward for you. The benefits have been given to you, and I have tasted your kindness back.

Cooperate with each other, make money together, and everyone is happy.

According to Song Zheng's idea, Huitong Commerce and Trade Bank can be much more affordable than the vain mutual letter of national letters. With the support of the royal family of Shu, Huitong trade can blossom everywhere in Shu. In this way, Huitong Trading Company can control the circulation of goods in Shu, and all the economic information of Shu has no secrets. In time, it may be possible to control the economy of Shu in disguise.

It's not that Lang Zhengchun is not shrewd, it's just that he doesn't have Song Zheng's advanced economic thinking. The pie painted by Song Zheng was so tempting that after Song Zheng proposed to pay 20% of the tax, Lang Zhengchun agreed without even thinking about it. So much so that after Song Zheng left the Great Cause Palace, he secretly slapped himself twice. If you knew this, it would be better to reduce the tax rate a little, such as 10% or something, and then you would make a lot of money.

Fortunately, Song Zheng reacted quickly, and after seeing what Lang Zhengchun meant, he added an additional article: Every branch opened by the commercial and trade bank will be tax-exempt for three years.

Spring comes early in Chengdu. A few days after the first lunar month, the weather slowly warmed up. Plum blossoms are like messengers of spring, blooming when it is warm and cold. By mid-to-late February, the countryside is already green.

In front of the Qingjing Hall of Cui Fuguan, two pretty female Taoist girls are clustered under the plum tree, smiling and smiling, allowing the pink fallen Ying to sprinkle all over their shoulders. At this moment, the Qingjing Hall also exuded a bright color because of the two women.

The Hall of Tranquility is not quiet? Sun Buji didn't think that in her opinion, whether it was Li Yongxi or Su Chan, they were like her two children, which allowed her to find the warmth of family in the world in the boring scriptures.

At this moment, she was sitting on a chair on the steps, smiling at the two flower-admiring women, with a loving look on her face. The two female disciples behind her were looking at the two delicate guests with envy.

Outside the hall, they were happy, but in the east wing room on the side of the hall, they were not very harmonious, and Emperor Qin's concubines were all read. Li Yuanzhen snorted angrily and looked at Song Zheng who was sitting opposite, feeling that the smiling face in front of him was quite annoying.

"You're really good, you actually thought of this way! You're so good at it! Li Yuanzhen said angrily.

It turned out that Su Chan was imprisoned by Jiang Kui in a hidden small courtyard in the southern suburbs of Chengdu, but he was not abused. Soon after Song Zheng rescued Su Chan, he discussed with Xi'er and asked Su Chan to go to the Taoist Temple to accompany her. Implication: Since everyone will be a family in the future, get close to each other first.

Xi'er knew that there were many sisters, and she was not very jealous. Especially when she heard about Su Chan's life experience, she immediately felt pity and shed a few tears. I was also very happy that Su Chan came to accompany her. Although Li Yuanzhen cared for her, it was inconvenient after all. And Sun Buer's female disciples have a lot of respect for Xi'er, but they can't talk about anything. If Su Chan comes, he will really be a companion.

Li Yuanzhen was very unhappy. Xi'er is a dignified princess of Western Xia, but she is accompanied by a dusty woman, no matter how she thinks about it. Although Xi'er has entered Taoism, her identity is there, and she can't be called a sister casually.

In this regard, Song Zheng pouted: Is the princess unusual? I have two more at home. Xi'er doesn't care, what is your "outsider" against.

Of course, Li Yuanzhen is half of his father-in-law, and Song Zheng will not provoke him, but save the country. He found Qingjing Sanren and said that Su Chan was willing to worship Sanren as a teacher and learn Taoism. Qingjing Sanren is a person from the outside, and he has no view of the door, not to mention that Song Zheng has a Chongyang order, so he agreed.

So, Su Chan washed all the lead, put on a Taoist robe, and came to apprentice to Sun Buer, looking extremely well-behaved and lovely. Sun Buji was very happy, and his original unhappy thoughts were gone. She also gave Su Chan a Taoist name, named Xuan Jing. Li Yongxi's road name is Xuanqing, and Su Chan's road name is Xuanjing. When the two of them came together, it was the word Qingjing, which showed that Sun Buer was very satisfied with Su Chan.

Under Su Chan's skillful catering, Xi'er and her hit it off at first sight, and soon the two became good sisters, and they ran to the plum tree and whispered.

Qingjing Sanren is Xi'er's mentor, and Li Yuanzhen also respects him very much. Li Yuanzhen couldn't stop Sun Buer from accepting Su Chan as a disciple, so he sprinkled all his grievances on Song Zheng.

Hearing Li Yuanzhen's sarcasm, Song Zheng smiled, "Uncle Li, don't blame me." Cicadas have the heart of the Tao, and have long admired the name of Sanren, and today they worship under the Sanren Sect, which is also a matter of heart. ”

"Still quibbling!" Li Yuanzhen said angrily, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, don't you want that Su Chan to go to Daqi with us?" ”

"Uncle Li is talented, and he can see through his thoughts at a glance. Sure enough, it is as deep as the sea, admire! Admire! Song Zheng shook it to the end and was very polite.

"It's like a fart! Treat me like a monkey! Li Yuan reprimanded. The kid in front of him is very cunning, he used this cunning to save Xi'er before, Li Yuanzhen didn't say it, but he still admired it a little in his heart. Now it's used on herself, it's really my aunt can bear it, and my uncle can't bear it either. If you don't teach a lesson this time, you won't know how to deceive people next time. Maybe if you sell yourself, you have to count the money for him.

Li Yuanzhen is such an arrogant person, he doesn't rub sand in his eyes, otherwise how can he compare to the name of this "crazy camel".

"It's come to this, and I won't embarrass you." Li Yuanzhen said with a cold face, and before Song Zheng's smile bloomed, he heard Li Yuanzhen say, "There is only one condition, if you win against me, I will write off this account." ”

Song Zheng was shocked, "Uncle Li, aren't you asking for my life?" I am your opponent. ”

"You don't fight?"

"If you want my life, take it now, and slash it with a knife. Save yourself a moment of being beaten to death. Song Zheng stood up and posed that the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.

"You're deliberately angry with me, aren't you?" Li Yuanzhen's face was swollen and red, and then he stomped his feet, "The surname is Song, it's okay if you don't fight, don't see Xi'er in the future." ”

Song Zheng was a scoundrel, and Li Yuanzhen also used a rogue move.

Seeing that Li Yuanzhen was really anxious, Song Xiaolang's classmate immediately lost his heroic spirit, and immediately laughed with him, "Don't be angry, it's all a family, why are you so stiff." You'll just spare me this time, okay? I swear, in the future, I will be filial to you and send you to the end of your old age. ”

Li Yuanzhen only felt a breath of evil qi surging up, blocking his throat, and he pointed at Song Zheng with one hand, "You...... You ......" can't even speak.

can make the world-famous "crazy camel" like this, Song Zheng is really the first person.

The sound inside the house alarmed the people outside, and Xi'er was the first to run in, followed by the cicada with a puzzled face.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Xi'er stepped forward to support Li Yongxi and glanced at Song Zheng with disgust. Song Zheng's face was full of embarrassment, and he said with a smile, "I said that you should have two children with me, but Uncle Li has to say that he will have three." I said, one boy and one girl are just right, and Uncle Li has to say that he wants to give birth to three boys. I said......"

"Song Zheng, I'm going to kill you!" Li Yuanzhen couldn't hold back any longer, and rushed towards Song Zheng angrily, Song Zheng naturally fled quickly, and the two ran out of Cuifuguan as soon as they slipped away.

Later, Xi'er's face was flushed with shame, as if she was about to drip water. Su Chan covered her mouth and sneered, which made Xi'er want to find a crack in the ground to get into.

"I'll make you laugh!" Xi'er, whose face was getting redder and redder, rushed up and scratched Su Chan's stomach. The two of them giggled and got together.

Sun Buji outside smiled bitterly and shook his head, "How did my Qingjing Hall become the Yuelao Palace?" ”

After making a fuss about tea, Xi'er and Cicada stopped and glanced at each other, and at the same time opened their mouths and said, "He's okay?" As soon as the words came out, the faces of the two men turned red again.

Li Yuanzhen's kung fu is top-notch, and Song Zheng's escape skills are unparalleled in the world. Two hours later, the "Kung Fu King" ran out of physical strength, and the "Escape King" still had the strength to spare. However, the escape king was more interesting, and took the initiative to let the former kung fu king beat him twice, and the matter ended successfully.
