Chapter 23: Sea Ships, Glass Mirrors

"The National Teacher said that His Royal Highness King Kang did not take over the throne from his father, but from his brother, so there is no need to compete with the crown prince. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

After hearing these words, Concubine Wei Xian was already confused, what does it mean to 'not from her father, but from her brother'?

Could it be that the crown prince Zhao Huan may die young?

But this is not right, Zhao Huan already has three sons now, even if he really dies young, it should be his son who inherits the throne, not King Kang, his half-brother.

So she really couldn't think of what chance Zhao Huan would have once he ascended the throne.

But......

Although Concubine Wei Xian was puzzled, she still said categorically: "Since it is the intention of the National Teacher, then I can only do it - I will send someone to inform King Kang later, and let him go to the fold as soon as possible." ”

"!"

Xing Bingyi heard Concubine Wei Xian say this, but she couldn't help but call her, met Concubine Wei Xian's gaze and swallowed for a while, and finally couldn't help but say what was in her heart: "What if...... In case the National Teacher just talks nonsense, His Royal Highness King Kang will have no room for turnaround! ”

"Roundabouts?"

Concubine Wei Xian smiled bitterly, pulled her to her side, reached out to help her pull a few messy hairs to the back of her head, and said softly: "You, smart is smart, but after all, you are younger-before King Kang ascended the throne, the national teacher talent is our biggest hole card and dependence, if you go against his will, what kind of room to pursue, it is really a self-defeating and self-defeating way." ”

Xing Bingyi was a little stunned when she heard this, she always thought that Wu Kai had seen the potential of King Kang, so she recommended herself as an arm, hoping to wait for King Kang to get a rich reward after he ascended the throne.

But judging from Concubine Wei Xian's words, Wu Kai was the one who was in the dominant position, and could even manipulate the actions of Concubine Wei Xian and King Kang - at least until King Kang ascended the throne.

No wonder he knew that he was King Kang's fiancée, and he dared to be so rude.

-- Dividing line --

At the same time as Concubine Wei Xian's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a heart-to-heart relationship, Wu Kai had also returned to the National Teacher's Mansion.

This time and again, it only took an hour, but there were already several prayer posts on the desk, including Tong Guan's, Li Bangyan's, Liang Shicheng's, and Zhu Mian's...... Basically, none of the powerful people who have some friendship with him have been left behind.

There is no need to ask, they must want to find out the results of the 'divination' from themselves, so that they can adjust their countermeasures in time and conform to Song Huizong's wishes.

What shocked Wu Kai was that Cai You also sent an invitation, which was the first time in the world, when he was in cahoots with Wang Huang before, but he had been on the fold several times, please behead Wu Kai, the 'demon monk', to thank the world.

But now......

It's really a shame that he can pull this face, and he also talked about the relationship between the two in the invitation as if he was friends in the world.

Wait a minute!

Wu Kai picked up the invitation, stared at the word 'world friend' for a while, and gradually tasted some flavor - this guy invited himself to the banquet, in addition to wanting to know the 'divination results', I am afraid that he also wants to let himself come forward to help Cai Jing recover!

Hehe~

When he was favored, he was afraid that his father would block the way forward, so he did not hesitate to become a company with Wang Hao and Liang Shi, and drove his father out of the phase.

Now because of the failure of the Northern Expedition [the first battle of Liao, Tong Guan is the commander, Cai You is the deputy marshal], some do not invite Song Huizong to see, so they want to invite their father back to shield themselves from the wind and rain!

What a Cai You!

Throwing the invitations back on the desk, he beckoned to Fahai and ordered: "You take these invitations back and let people reply in my name, saying that I am unwell and cannot attend the banquet." ”

Since they have already rejected the banquet of the crown prince Zhao Heng, these people can't invite them even more.

Fahai agreed, stepped forward and picked up the invitations one by one and stuffed them into his sleeve, and then stood back in place.

Wu Kai picked up an envelope from the table again, looked up, but it was a letter from Jiangnan Zhang's family, Shi Qian hurriedly explained on the side: "Buddha, this letter arrived seven or eight days ago, I didn't let you know when I saw that it wasn't important news." ”

During Wu Kai's retreat, all the letters outside were represented by Shi Qian, and if they were urgent, they would be forwarded by Wu Yueniang or Pang Chunmei.

Nodding slightly, expressing his approval of the way Shi Qian was handled, Wu Kai still took out the letter paper inside and read it roughly, but it turned out that the five 1,500-material sea ships commissioned by the Zhang family last summer had been officially launched, and they would be sent to the Dengzhou Navy Division in a few days.

This is good news, if you want to emigrate overseas on a large scale, the more ships you have, the better.

Putting the letter from the Zhang family back in its place, Wu Kaiyou asked: "How much money has we made in the mercury mirror workshop in cooperation with the Imperial City Division in the past few months?" ”

This is the account that Fahai is responsible for, so he stepped forward to report: "Back to the master, in the seven months before and after, a total of more than 863,000 dividends have been included in the treasury, and Aunt Pang personally accepted and signed. ”

"Eight hundred and sixty thousand?"

This is an unbelievable astronomical amount to the ears of ordinary people, but Wu Kai is not very satisfied, as soon as the mercury mirror is launched, it will immediately become popular in Jingshi, and a small piece of the palm can be sold at a sky-high price of hundreds of guan, so according to his estimates, it will be at least more than one million guan in more than half a year.

Fahai saw his dissatisfaction, and hurriedly added: "Master, the yield rate of the Imperial City Division is too low, and the output has not been able to rise, so ......"

"Forget it."

Wu Kai waved his hand and said, "Tomorrow, you go to Chunmei to pay 500,000 yuan and send it to Zhang Hui, and say that I plan to order ten more sea ships, and this money is considered a deposit." ”

With the ability of the Zhang family, in fact, it is already the limit to build two sea ships at the same time, but with Wu Kai's current power, as long as they let out the wind and let people know that this ship is what Wu Kai wants, someone will immediately take the initiative to share it, and even lose money and make money.

In this way, the Zhang family can naturally profit from it, and it can be regarded as a small compensation from Wu Kai to Zhang Hui's outer room.

After talking about the sea ship, Wu Kai dealt with some miscellaneous things accumulated over the past few days, but in the end, he couldn't help frowning, pointing to those letters and asking, "That's all?" Isn't there a letter from Yingzhou? ”

"Buddha."

Shi Qian bowed and said: "If there is a letter from Yingzhou, we will never dare to hide it, and we will definitely let Mrs. forward it to you early in the morning." ”

Yingzhou.

One of the sixteen states of Youyun, it is also Tong Guan's only harvest in this expedition to Liao, and it is also a temporary place for him and those remnants of the defeated generals.

Long before the retreat, Wu Kai sent Xie Zhen and Xie Bao to Yingzhou to discuss the major matter of buying and selling human beings with Tong Guan.

Didn't there be an accident?
