Chapter 13: The Dawn of the Dawn (18)
"Sit."
"Thank you, Ginseng."
Bian Rang bowed his hand, and then sat down in fear. The butt was only on the edge of the chair, and I didn't dare to sit down.
Looking at Bian Rang's trembling appearance, Han Gang smiled, "Sit down with peace of mind, it's not easy for you to talk like this." ”
Bian Rang moved his hips and stepped back a little, but still half of them were in the air.
He was very glad that his immediate boss was seriously ill and could not serve in a short period of time, which gave him, the second head of the SF Xingjing Division, a chance to get ahead.
It is precisely because of this that when Bian Rang was summoned to participate in the government tonight, he was cautious everywhere, planning to use this opportunity as much as possible to win Han Gang's attention.
Out of professional habits, Bian Rang looked at the layout when he entered the door, wanting to know the preferences of the owner of the road, so as to cater to it.
The study of the deputy prime minister of a country is very simple, so simple that it does not match the identity of the master. The side compartments on both sides for reading, writing, and resting, as well as the atrium for meeting guests, because it is a two-story small building, there should be a library on it, which is the arrangement of ordinary officials and wealthy families.
As you can see from the outside, several of the rooms are not very big. The central outer hall is furnished simply and plainly, and it can even be said that it is cold and simple, and the halls used by ordinary officials and eunuchs are rarely arranged like this. There is a desk in the side compartment on the east side, which is not a place to meet guests, but the side who has been led here is not qualified to be a guest of the governor's affairs.
But there was something very special in the room. There were several delicate instruments, a microscope, a telescope, a brass compass, and the rest were all kinds of stones, most of which he did not recognize, except for one that had a hexagonal crystal pillar sticking out like grass, which allowed him to distinguish the rough stone which was supposed to be crystal.
The rest is the bookshelf, there is a wall from top to bottom occupied by the bookshelf, one by one compartment classification, only one thing is very special, the books on the shelves are all vertical, so that the spine is exposed. In a small grid, dozens of books can be placed. If it is placed in the same way as the library above, there are at least 10,000 volumes of books in this small building alone.
Simple and practical, this is the feeling that Hangang's study gives Bian Rang. This made Bian Rang dare not pour out his flattering words, and tightly remembered the words of caution and deeds.
Bian Rang's little caution couldn't hide Han Gang's eyes.
This deputy of the Beijing branch has the same name and surname as a historical figure in the Three Kingdoms, but this Wencai must not have it, and the business talent is not bad, otherwise he would not have been appointed by Feng Congyi as the second head of the Beijing branch, but his communication skills have not been more performed.
However, Han Gang doesn't need him to show anything now, he just needs a qualified microphone.
"The things in the semicolon, have you been busy lately?"
Bian Rang was waiting quietly with bated breath, and when he heard Han Gang's question, he immediately straightened his waist and said, "Privy Secret, during the New Year's Festival, the shop has always been relatively leisurely. It's just that the two major headquarters of Keju and Horse Racing have regular meetings to be held in the past few days, and the Yongqin Chamber of Commerce has a banquet three days later, which should have been gone by the bear's paw; In addition, there is a banquet on the side of the Ping'an......"
"Alright." Han Gang interrupted Bian Rang's reply, "Before Xiong Quan recovers from his illness, you will first carry his burden on his behalf." Those places are acquaintances, and they won't deliberately find faults, I believe you can handle it. ”
Han Gang's sentence of 'I believe you can handle it well', Bian Rang's bones were a little lighter, and his heart was ecstatic: "The appreciation of the big ginseng, the villain is grateful." It's just that the villain is shallow and thin, and he can't afford to be praised by the big ginseng. ”
"Oh?" Han Gang raised his eyes and stared at Bian Rang, "Is it modest, or is it really unsure?" ”
The lights danced in Han Gang's eyes, glowing with a cold light, and he was dripping with cold sweat, and he was busy pointing to the sky, "Don't worry, the villain will do a good job with his heart!" ”
Han Gang nodded and smiled: "My cousin won't use people who are not talented, especially the Jingshi important land." Since he used you, I also believe that you can handle the matter in the semicolon on behalf of Xiong Quan. ”
"The villain understands, the villain understands." Bian Rang nodded again and again.
"What's wrong with business?" Han Gang asked.
"Everything is fine. There are political participation and care, there are Feng Dongzhu's assignments, and Qu and Xiong Erzhang preside over in advance, and the business of the semicolon is getting better and better day by day. It's the ...... over there in Hebei."
Hedong is an independent semicolon, and Han Gang has left deep traces in the land of merger, which also allows SF Express to take deep roots there. But Hebei, because the share is too small, is basically to let the Beijing division branch manage. The situation on the Song-Liao border has fallen into tension, and Hedong has no turn to worry about it, but Hebei is different.
Bian Rang understands very well that the big boss of SF Xingjingshi Branch is not a simple businessman. At this time of high wind and waves, Han Gang recruited himself to come to the house, and he didn't just want to know how the business was doing.
Han Gang nodded with satisfaction, if he didn't have this bit of eyes and political sense, he really had to consider a replacement.
"Yelu Yixin usurped the throne, the court will no longer have anything to do with him, the New Year's coin will be cut off, and the field on the border will also stop."
"The imperial court is going to be banned?" I grabbed the key with a little handicapping.
Han Gang said: "It is impossible for the imperial court to have any dealings with traitors. ”
Bian Jean nodded, he completely understood.
The wealthy eunuchs of Hebei have benefited a lot from the border field. Every year, the New Year's coins will pass through many public and private fields on the border and flow back to the Great Song Dynasty. Although the amount accounts for a small percentage of the profit of the whole trading house, SF does have a piece of the pie. Now Hebei is about to face war, which is of course the focus that Bian Rang must pay attention to.
And Han Gang has always said that the imperial court will not deal with the usurper Yelu Yixin, and even severs relations with the Liao State, which has explained everything.
In the position of Han Gang, of course, it cannot be said that the public is to the public, and the private is private, the above has broken off diplomatic relations with the Liao State, and the lower can go to do business with the Liao people as usual.
If Han Gang said so, he was giving people a handle and waiting to be impeached by the New Party as a handle. Now that he has said something clear, this makes Bian Rang know how to show his attitude when he participates in the meeting of the two major headquarters and the Yongqin Chamber of Commerce.
Seeing that Bian Rang had already understood that Han Gang had finished what he should have said, he motioned for Bian Rang to leave. Bian Rang stood up and saluted, and respectfully retreated.
Han Gang picked up the still warm tea cup and took a sip. To get the support of the giants of Hebei and Beijing, this is a key step.
I've seen some outsiders before, and Bian Rang is the last one, he's gone, and there's no one else to see today.
Although three days later was the crucial moment to decide the victory, Han Gang did not plan to gather the disciples to discuss how to deal with the battle like Wang Anshi.
It's not that he is arrogant, it's just that the preparations he has to make are different from Wang Anshi's.
"Official, it's not too early, Ming'er still has to go to court, right?"
There was a coquettish call outside, and then the door curtain was lifted, and Zhou Nan walked in lightly.
The former Oiran has become more and more charming with age, and now is the most delicate time, and raising your hands and feet can make people's heartstrings pound.
Xu Bu walked behind Han Gang, and Zhou Nan skillfully pounded his shoulders. Han Gang squinted his eyes comfortably, and a light and unique aroma filled his sense of smell.
After enjoying it for a while, Han Gang opened his mouth and asked, "How is your sister?" ”
Because the contradiction with Wang Anshi deteriorated sharply, the relationship between husband and wife also became tense during this time, and they only had two or three sentences when they met every day.
Han Gang knew that it was difficult for his wife to be caught in the middle, but in business, he would not back down because of his wife, and it was not him who didn't care about the situation first.
However, after many years of husband and wife, Han Gang can't be ruthless.
Zhou Nan's fist was a little heavier, "If the official can accompany my sister more, my sister will definitely be better than now." ”
"I'd better wait until this is over." Han Gang's tone was a little impatient, but then he woke up again and sighed, "You still have time to talk to her more." ”
"Why do you need to say? Yun Niang and Su Xin are both accompanying their sister. ”
"That's good." Han Gang put down a little bit of his heart and said softly, "After this period of time, the situation will be better." At that time, I can also find time to spend more time with you. ”
"Officials should also be good at talking."
The beating on the shoulders was replaced by kneading, and the half-cut wrists exposed from the cuffs were like jade, and under the background of the jade bracelet, they looked even more white and delicate.
Han Gang looked down at the table, if it went well, the current trouble would indeed be solved quickly. After a few days, there will be less pressure outside, and I will be able to spend more time with my wife and children. The children in the family are gradually growing up, and they must strengthen their education, and if they can't pay attention to it, they may be a group of squirting children who harm the people. Han Gang has always been self-disciplined and pays attention to reputation, he doesn't want to lose this person, he is said to be incompetent in governing the family, and he wants to be a teacher, but he can't even teach his son well.
"Official?" Zhou Nan saw that Han Gang was silent, and said softly.
"Alright." Han Gang patted the jade hand on his shoulder, the touch of his fingertips was as smooth as fat, "I have to go to court tomorrow, and now I have to go to sleep after freshening up." ”
Zhou Nan lowered his head, leaned into Han Gang's ear, and sighed, "Then let the slave family serve the officials." ”
Han Gang stroked his delicate cheek with the back of his hand and said with a smile: "Who serves whom, maybe it's not clear." ”
The next morning, Han Gang endured sleepiness and got up to go to court. After the end of the Chang Dynasty of the Vertical Arch Palace, the next thing is the discussion of the small hall of the inner east gate.
The atmosphere in the hall was a little tense, after all, it was the time of the decisive battle in a few days, and the air seemed to have the sound of swords clashing, full of tension. Fortunately, both sides maintained restraint and did not start a skirmish battle in today's temple.
It's just that when everything is over, the Queen Mother is ready to get up, and the Zai Fu are also under the leadership of Wang Anshi, ready to withdraw from the small hall of the Inner East Gate, but Han Gang did not move, but said to the Queen Mother, "Your Majesty, please stay right today." ”
