After Han Derang entered the study, Dama Jindao sat on the main seat and asked straight to the point.

Han Zhengqing also sat down and said hesitantly: "Dad, we want to swallow the money of the southern country in one bite, but I'm afraid it's difficult." ”

Han Derang raised his eyebrows, and said without anger: "Why? ”

Han Zhengqing had already typed the draft, and he explained the situation of the Three Kingdoms that Yang Qi had told him before to Han Derang and the eldest prince of the Han family in his own words.

When it was over, Han Zhengqing said with a straight face: "Dad, the Great Song Dynasty has been plotting against the sixteen states of Yanyun for a long time, and has invaded many times. Once we force the Southern Kingdom and the Great Song Dynasty to unite and invade the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun together, it will be very unfavorable to our Han family. Although our Han family has now gained a firm foothold in the capital city, most of the foundation is still in the sixteen states of Yanyun.

Grandfather and Dad, many of your old ministries are still entrenched in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. ”

Han Derang was obviously surprised by Han Zhengqing's words, and he subconsciously looked at his eldest son.

The eldest son of the Han family also looked at his father.

The father and son glanced at each other, and without Han Zhengqing noticing, Han Derang nodded at his eldest son.

The eldest son of the Han family understood, coughed lightly, and asked Han Zhengqing with a smile, "The second brother's words today really impressed the brother." I have a doubt in my brother's heart, and I hope that my second brother will solve my doubts. ”

Han Zhengqing bowed and said: "Big brother has something to say, I must know everything, and I will say everything." ”

The eldest prince of the Han family said happily: "Brother Wei wants to know, what you said today was realized by yourself, or was it taught to you by others?" ”

Han Zhengqing wanted to tell his brother righteously that he realized this by himself, but when he saw his brother's smiling eyes, he seemed to be seen through the whole person.

It is undeniable that among Han Derang's two sons and one daughter, Han Zhengqing is the most mediocre one.

He seems to be knowledgeable, but compared to his brother and younger sister, there is a difference between him.

The eldest son of the Han family and the younger sister of the Han family, whether it is intelligence, knowledge, strategy, or even martial arts, can easily crush Han Zhengqing.

If it weren't for the fact that the eldest son of the Han family was once young and vigorous, he was knocked out of his legs, I am afraid that it would not be Han Zhengqing's turn to come forward and be the third generation of the Han family.

Han Zhengqing still sees very clearly in this regard, so when facing his brother's eyes that have already seen through everything, he can only tell the truth.

"Don't dare to deceive the eldest brother, the first part of the words just now were said by Yi Xing, the owner of the Nanguo Money Bank, and the last few sentences were realized by myself."

The eldest prince of the Han family and Han Derang glanced at each other, revealing a face that was really like this.

Han Derang sighed and shook his head secretly.

The eldest prince of the Han family smiled bitterly: "My stupid brother, you let people deceive you." Let's not say that the money store in the south is not the property of the royal family of the southern country, even if it is the property of the royal family of the southern country. It is impossible for the southern country to make a move against our Liao country because of a money bank, which spans tens of millions of miles.

The amount of money spent in a war is far beyond the reach of a money bank.

Because of the loss of a money bank, a war is planned, and it is a war that is not in the interests of the merchants.

This does not correspond to the idea of businessmen at all.

Therefore, Brother Wei can conclude that the proprietor of Nanguo Qian Xing is just scaring you with big words. ”

Han Zhengqing's face was ugly, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "Big brother, I don't feel that Yi Xing is deceiving me. On the contrary, I think there is some truth in what Yi Xing said.

Big brother, you said, Nanguo will not go to war with our Liao State for the loss of a money bank.

I think this judgment is wrong.

As the eldest brother said, whether or not to go to war depends on whether it is in the interests of the businessman.

So let's take a look at the interests of the Southern Money Bank.

Nanguo Money Bank is like a gold-swallowing beast, constantly devouring money.

It can easily turn into a behemoth in the shortest possible time.

Our Han family has seen this point of the Nanguo Money Bank, so we want to take the Nanguo Money Bank as our own.

However, since the money bank in the south is so important, how can the people in the south not see it?

Even the interests of our Han family are red, how can the southerners give up so easily?

It is not impossible to start a big war when the time comes.

If our Han family wants to swallow the money of the southern country, then we must consider whether we can afford the risks once a big war breaks out. ”

"Oh?"

The eldest prince of the Han family stared at his second brother in surprise.

Han Derang, who had been pretending to be a bodhisattva, squinted his eyes and stared at his second son.

Han Zhengqing's remarks were obviously carefully considered.

The reason why the eldest prince of the Han family and Han Derang stared at Han Zhengqing.

It was because they suddenly discovered that Han Zhengqing, who was regarded as a waste Han Er in their eyes on weekdays, didn't seem to be so waste.

"You go down first, this matter will be discussed in detail with Da Lang."

After a brief moment of surprise.

Han Derang waved his hand and asked Han Zhengqing to go down.

Han Zhengqing pursed his mouth, wanting to say a few more words, but finally held back.

"The child is gone."

Han Zhengqing arched his hand and withdrew from the study.

As soon as he walked out of the door of the study, Han Zhengqing let out a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice: "Brother Yi Xian, as a brother, I can only help you with this......

Immediately, Han Zhengqing sneered and whispered: "I, the third generation of the Han family, am just a puppet after all......"

Han Zhengqing felt that with the current status of the Han family, there was no need to take advantage of it again.

Sometimes, collaboration is a good thing.

It's a pity that his position in the Han family is very embarrassing and he doesn't have much right to speak.

Han Zhengqing introduced Yang Qi as a confidant and a close friend, so he hoped to help Yi Xing, but in the end it backfired.

At this point, Han Zhengqing had no choice but to try his best to help Yang Qi complete another thing.

Han Zhengqing shook his head, and became the stupid Han Er in the eyes of others again, after he returned to the room, he wrote down the invitation card and invited several princesses to the Han family's courtyard to enjoy the plums.

Then quickly send someone to the princess's mansion to send it.

Han Zhengqing happily invited others to enjoy the flowers.

Han Derang and the eldest son of the Han family discussed in the study the whereabouts of the money bank in the south of the capital.

Han De asked the old god presence: "Da Lang, what do you think of this matter?" ”

The eldest son of the Han family said happily: "The second brother has grown up. ”

Han Derang was stunned, nodded and said, "Erlang has indeed grown up." In the future, let Erlang follow you, learn more, and you will teach him more. ”

The eldest prince of the Han family nodded in response.

Han Derang asked again, "What do you think of the problem of Nanguo Money Bank?" ”

The eldest prince of the Han family said with a smile: "A gold-swallowing giant beast, not to be missed." Besides, how could I easily stop the things that my Han family was targeting. ”

Han Derang said with a smile: "Just now, Erlang carefully analyzed the form, aren't you afraid that the southern kingdom will support the Great Song Dynasty to fight Liao?" ”

The eldest prince of the Han family smiled and said: "Father, didn't you see this a long time ago, so you are working hard to help the Empress Dowager Sinicize the Liao Kingdom, and are quietly transferring the power of our Han family in the sixteen states of Yanyun to this power center in the capital?" ”

Han Derang laughed heartily, "Those who know me, Da Lang also." ”

Immediately, he saw the legs of the eldest son of the Han family, and said with a cloudy look in his eyes: "Da Lang, don't worry, sooner or later, your father will make the person who broke your legs pay." ”

The eldest prince of the Han family shook his head and laughed softly: "He is the king of the Southern Courtyard of the Liao Kingdom, besides, the reason why the child broke his legs by him is all because the child himself was too young and vigorous.

The child was so vigorous that he forgot the owner of the Liao country, surnamed Yelu. ”

Han Derang's face was gloomy, and he sneered, but he didn't say much.

……

Han Zhengqing was going to hold a plum appreciation banquet, and the invitation was quickly scattered.

The servants sent to deliver letters to the princesses' mansions soon returned with a reply from the princesses' mansions.

The four princesses all agreed to Han Zhengqing's invitation to the banquet.

It can be seen that the signboard of the Han family is still very useful in Shangjing.

To Han Zhengqing's surprise, his little sister, who hardly asks about anything on weekdays, also found him and threatened to see the plum appreciation banquet held by Han Zhengqing.

and also very domineeringly plundered the sovereignty of the plum banquet held by Han Zhengqing.

When Yang Qi got the replies from the four princesses from Han Zhengqing, he also got the invitation sent by Han Zhengqing.

A gilded golden invitation, the Liao people seem to have a soft spot for gold, and basically all noble things are mainly golden.

The content of the invitation is very simple, inviting Yang Qi to walk in the snow and enjoy the plum blossoms in the plum garden three days later.

Yang Qi waved the invitation card and told Shen Peng that it was done, and asked Shen Peng to prepare a gift for him.

Three days later.

Yang Qi got into the sedan chair early and arrived at the plum garden that Han Zhengqing said.

When he arrived at the gate of the plum garden, Yang Qi was also slightly stunned.

In this Liaoguo Shangjing, which shows the ruggedness everywhere, you can still see a Soviet-style exquisitely carved garden.

The unique style of Suzhou gardens is unique in the capital of the Liao Kingdom.

To be able to build such a garden in the capital of this Liao country, I am afraid that only those wealthy Suzhou merchants can do it.

As for why this garden ended up in the hands of the Han family, Yang Qi didn't want to explore it.

For today's banquet, Han Zhengqing specially selected a group of servant maids to serve people.

In the entire plum garden, there is hardly a single servant or householder to be seen, all of them are women.

Even the guards at the door were all women in red suits.

Yang Qi arrived early, and under the leadership of the maidservant, he entered the plum garden.

After passing through the corridors, ponds, attics, moon gates, and other beautifully carved buildings, I stopped in front of a rockery.

Behind the rockery, there is a sea of plum blossoms covering an area of six or seven acres.

The cold plums, glowing with blood, bloom gorgeously in the snow.

In that sea of flowers, there is a flower hall, which is covered with beaded curtains, and it seems that someone is sitting in the flower hall.

Yang Qi tried his best to squeeze out a happy look on his face, and shouted in surprise as he walked quickly to the flower hall: "Brother Zhengqing's plum garden is really beautiful." It's hard for Yi to imagine that in the capital of this Liao country, there is actually ......"

Halfway through his words, Yang Qi's voice stopped abruptly.

Because he had already entered the flower hall, but in the flower hall, he didn't see Han Zhengqing, but a little girl from a small family who was wearing a pink Luo skirt in the cardamom years, sitting cross-legged in the flower hall.

She was cooking tea with her own hands, and there was a charcoal basin beside her, and the silver charcoal in the charcoal basin burned, and the little girl's face was red.

Yang Qi was obviously stunned when he saw the little girl, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "It's abrupt, I disturbed the girl, and I hope the girl will forgive her sins." ”

Dropping these words, Yang Qi prepared to turn around and leave.

"Yi Gongzi, my brother is sick today, so I entrusted the little girl to take him to hold this plum appreciation banquet. Yi Gongzi left in such a hurry, did he think that the little woman was not well greeted? ”

On the Han Mansion not far from the Plum Garden, Han Zhengqing, who was tied to the pillar of his bedroom, shouted for himself in the air.

It's a pity that Yang Qi can't hear it.

Yang Qi heard the words of the little sister of the Han family, and was slightly stunned, and his feet were stunned.

Han Zhengqing did not appear, but asked his sister-in-law to preside over the plum appreciation banquet, which really surprised Yang Qi.

Yang Qi was a little unclear about the situation, it was very similar to leaving.

But he was afraid of leaving, so he missed the opportunity to see Yang Si, and if he tried to find a way in the future, he would have to go through a lot of trouble.

Yang Qi turned around and sat cross-legged opposite the little sister of the Han family.

"Then it's a nuisance."

The little sister of the Han family cooked the tea, handed it to Yang Qi, and said softly: "I have heard that the prince likes this tea, the little woman rarely cooks tea with others, and I don't know if the tea cooked today is suitable for the child's appetite?" ”

The little sister of the Han family handed the tea to Yang Qi, and looked at Yang Qi in a daze.

She was looking at Yang Qi carefully.

Yang Qi obviously felt a little embarrassed, it was the first time he was looked at by a woman so directly.

After tasting a sip, the tea cooked by the little sister of the Han family, Yang Qi's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed: "Good tea." ”

The little sister of the Han family smiled lightly and said indifferently: "It's good if the son likes it." ”

The little sister of the Han family added another cup of tea to Yang Qi and said, "Childe is indeed handsome, no wonder so many people like Childe." I have heard that the son is outstanding, I wonder if the son can open the eyes of the little woman? ”

Yang Qi held the teacup in his hand for a moment, and asked dumbfounded, "Are you teasing me?" ”

was suddenly teased by a girl younger than himself, and Yang Qiyi was really at a loss for a while.

The little sister of the Han family nodded frankly: "You can think so, you can also think that the little girl wants to weigh the talent of the son." ”

Yang Qi was stunned and embarrassed.

A little girl suddenly appeared, not only boldly teasing herself, but also threatening to weigh his talent, which made Yang Qi feel inexplicable.

Yang Qi hesitated for a moment, and said with a dry smile: "The girl said that she was laughing, how can I have any talent." I'm just a small businessman, and all I have is the stench of copper. Since the girl is holding this banquet on behalf of her brother, she should know Yi's intention this time. ”
