Zhao Yun and Shi Mi spent a whole day hiking in Jicheng Courtyard, immersed in those future fantasies. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhao Zheng was ready to entertain the two of them when he was ready to entertain his own good dishes, but they were also rejected, looking at the trend, Zhao Yun and Shi Miyuan had to stay in it for a day. It is impossible for Zhao Zheng to put all his energy on them, and there are still a large number of people and things in Baiyun Palace that need to be dealt with by himself.
The Son of Heaven naturally could not live outside for a long time, Zhao Yun stayed in the Baiyun Palace for a day was the result of Shi Miyuan withstanding all the noise in front, and the next day the Empress Dowager Yang personally wrote a letter to tell Zhao Yun the seriousness of the matter, which persuaded Zhao Yun to return to the palace, but Shi Miyuan stayed in the Baiyun Palace.
After coming out of Jicheng Academy, Shi Miyuan thought about it for a long time and finally paid attention to it, and talked with Zhao Zheng about the ownership of the glass workshop and the ordnance supervisor.
Now the glass workshop gives the imperial court two million guan every year to get the qualification to operate alone, at that time, the imperial court thought that the national teacher was crazy to give the imperial court such a sky-high price, now it seems that it is completely called Huazi, not to mention glass soap, perfume, these three things that make people crazy to collect money, just a distilled spirit, the monosodium glutamate that is about to be put on the market is enough to gather an exaggerated data, not to mention the manufacture of arquebuses and other firearms, the glass workshop's ability to accumulate wealth has exceeded the scope of a person's bearing, According to the preliminary estimates of the three divisions and the household department, the income of the glass workshop last year was more than 10 million, even if Zhao Zheng is a god, he can't stop people's greed.
Moreover, the steel produced by the glass workshop is sold to the imperial court, and the most important military material of a country is actually in the hands of private individuals, which really makes the imperial court sleep, not to mention that most of the top craftsmen in the glass workshop belong to the imperial court such as the ordnance supervisor, and the ownership of the glass workshop is a grenade, which may be detonated at any time.
"National teacher, if you want the Baiyun Taoist Temple to be passed down for thousands of years, I would like to advise you, the glass workshop needs you to back down more."
Zhao Zheng pondered for a while after listening, he didn't expect the glass workshop to arouse the jealousy of the imperial court so quickly, and the huge profits of the glass workshop also aroused the greed of the imperial court, the source of this greed did not come from the emperor or the prime minister, but from the concept of the whole world for thousands of years, from the herdsmen of the Son of Heaven, from the concept that industry and commerce are cheap industries, and the source of this greed is the common values pursued by tens of thousands of officials in the imperial court.
"The glass workshop can give the imperial court sixty percent of the benefits, and change the name of the artifact palace, separated by the Baiyun Taoist Temple, the palace master and other main principals are recommended by the Baiyun Guanguan themselves, the imperial court shall not interfere, and the craftsmen of the military supervision and the Ministry of Industry are all included in the jurisdiction of the artifact palace."
Shi Miyuan was shocked when he heard Zhao Zheng's asking price, and this request was also ...... It's too low. Sixty percent of the profits, basically only in exchange for a false name, anyway, the technology needed by the glass workshop also comes from Zhao Zheng, as for the craftsman, Shi Miyuan didn't blink an eyelid, how can a lowly person be enough for military affairs. Shi Miyuan was also a little unbearable in this matter, feeling that Zhao Zheng had been wronged too much in this matter, the glass workshop was Zhao Zheng's private property, and now it was taken away by the imperial court, and he suddenly swallowed his anger to this point.
"The national teacher feels wronged?"
Zhao Zheng was still a little apprehensive, but when he heard Shi Miyuan's words, he suddenly disappeared, and suddenly realized how small his request was for the Song Kingdom in the thirteenth century. For the craftsman, no matter how skilled he is, he is only regarded by the people of this era as a strange skill, and it is not enough to worry about.
But these insignificant people will pry the whole world until the world is turned upside down, Zhao Zheng thought, and at this time, in the face of Shi Miyuan's words, he also said obediently, and said quite resentfully: "Who called me just a Taoist person, even if I am regarded as a living immortal by the world!" ”
"The national teacher just can't bear it, with your ability, it is not difficult to ensure the wealth of the Baiyun Taoist Temple when you are alive, and after a hundred years, I am afraid that it will be extinguished in an instant." Shi Miyuan spoke comfortingly.
Zhao Zheng sighed, it was not all false: "Zhao Zheng has never cared much about money, but he just thinks that the effect of spending this money in his own hands is a hundred times stronger than that of those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but the court is taboo, and Zhao Zheng does not dare to use his arms as a car." ”
"You take the initiative to raise this matter, and the court will read it well!" Shi Mi said duciously, everyone knows what is going on.
"How should the two percent of the profit be calculated?" The reason why the glass workshop can exist so strangely in the Song Kingdom is precisely because there is the power of the Great Song Dynasty behind it, and now Shi Miyuan naturally knows that some wealth can no longer be occupied, otherwise it will also suffer from flying disasters, tonight Zhao Zheng has retreated so much for the country, Shi Miyuan is naturally touched, and in the future, Shi Songzhi will enter the two mansions without Zhao Zheng's help, saying that he said: "Yicheng, the income of Baiyun Taoist Temple in the Artifact Palace, you give me one percent!" ”
Zhao Zheng was also a little surprised, Shi Xianggong, who has always been greedy for money, would retreat like this.
"The way to choose is the old man's experience in officialdom for more than 30 years, and I don't want to lose it when I finally enter the coffin! The national teacher is amazingly talented and knows how to advance and retreat, but the old man still reminds you that most of the world is mediocre, and what you need to deal with is these mediocre people who don't know how to choose. Therefore, sometimes what you need is wisdom but confusion. ”
Zhao Zheng bowed down and said, "Thank you for teaching!" ”
In fact, I only hope to help the Song Kingdom avoid the disaster of national destruction, and after preaching science to the world, I can truly live for myself, and I don't have to retreat every step of the way. Zhao Zheng only held these words in his heart and did not say them.
――
Since Zhao Zheng and Shi Miyuan had a heart-to-heart relationship that day, he stayed in Baiyun Palace for three days before going back.
One day, after Zhao Zheng taught the way of steelmaking in the afternoon, Da Lang waited outside the door, saying that the master asked Zhao Zheng to go to his dormitory to eat, Zhao Zheng recently in order to convey the meaning of equality in the Baiyun Palace, so they all ate in the canteen, calculating that there was no master and apprentice for a long time to get together, so he promised Da Lang to go to the dormitory of the zodiac chief with him.
When Zhao Zheng entered the lobby, the meal was ready, and it was generally an important family banquet to put the meal in the lobby, such as the Chinese New Year.
Zhao Zheng saw that this posture was so solemn, and Huang Daochang also looked serious, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.
"San Lang, eating fast is your favorite food! I know you've been very busy lately, and the only thing you can do to help you is to prepare this feast! ”
Huang Daochang called Zhao Zheng a small life, which means that the theme of today's family banquet is family affection.
"Thank you, Master! I've been messing around! "If you don't know Zhao Zheng's demons, it seems that what Zhao Zheng has done along the way is nonsense, Huang Daochang still supports Zhao Zheng so much without knowing the details of Zhao Zheng, this trust and friendship have to be said to be very precious.
"That's how you should be when you're used to your own children, San Lang, eat quickly, you and I haven't talked like this for a long time."
"Hmm!"
At the family banquet, Huang Daochang and Da Lang Erlang talked about old things in Zaoyang, which was very warm. Zhao Zheng enjoyed the atmosphere and didn't want it to end like this.
But how can there be a banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, after the meal, Huang Daochang called Zhao Zheng into his house?
As soon as Zhao Zheng stepped into the room, he felt that the layout of the room was a little abnormal.
Then the zodiac chief suddenly burst into a loud shout: "What kind of demon are you!" ”
