213. Roll (also for the so-called South China Sea arbitration)

In front of Yanfu Palace, Zhou Quan smiled and bowed his hand to the crowd: "Everyone, I have worked hard today, I will leave Beijing again in a few days, and we will get together again before then, and I will share with you about the big leagues!" ”

Everyone watched a lively scene today, and they were more or less involved in Zhou Quan's next business plan, so they all laughed and dispersed.

Zhou Quan himself did not rush to leave, but stayed in front of Yanfu Palace.

When he was summoned to the palace, of course the master and others were not allowed to follow up, but when they came to look for him at this time, seeing that he was not leaving, the master wrinkled his nose: "Brother, why don't you go back?" ”

"No hurry, no hurry." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

After a while, he saw Cai Xing coming over again, he looked left and right, and saw that the group of gentlemen had left, so he lowered his voice and said, "Now you can talk about it, right?" ”

"Say what?"

"Why did you make such a big show?"

"Naturally, I drove away Zhu Mian and Li Bangyan, these two thieves are in Beijing, and they have to stab me in the back. Brother Cai, whether it is the Cotton Chamber of Commerce or the Donghai Chamber of Commerce, when it is on the rise now, if there are always people pulling behind their backs and delaying everyone to make money, it will be too bad! ”

Cai Xingxin is a stupid pig when he says this.

Zhu Mian and Li Bangyan, in the face of the powerful Cotton Chamber of Commerce and the Donghai Chamber of Commerce, where do they dare to do anything again, they can't hide from Zhou Quan now.

If they still want to calculate Zhou Quan now, without waiting for Zhou Quan to fight back by himself, Tong Guan, Yang Jian, Cai Jing, He Zhizhong, and the bigwigs of all parties inside and outside the palace will directly destroy them.

The more Zhou Quan didn't say anything, the more Cai Xing wanted to know, and after pondering for a while, Cai Xing suddenly said: "If I send someone to burn Li Bangyan's house...... Will you tell me why? ”

Zhou Quan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Brother Cai, you have learned badly." ”

"I'm always with you, can I not learn badly?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Cai Xing finally turned around and left.

Cai Xing just left, and another person came sneaky, but it was Tong Guan's grandson Tong Yan.

Although Tong Guan is a eunuch, he has many descendants, most of whom are righteous sons and grandchildren, and this Tong gradually became very popular. After he came over, he smiled all over his face: "Brother Zhou Xian, what you said about the liquor ......?"

Although strong liquor was not too popular in the Great Song Dynasty, it referred to the Bianjing area, but it was in the bitter cold land of the northwest, especially in the Qiangtang and Qinghai Tibet, and the mountains and highlands were cold, and the spirits were very popular.

There are also those vulgar soldiers in the Western Army, who have a few pennies, and they either gamble or drink excessively.

Tong Guan is quite influential in this area, and if he can get spirits, he will definitely sell well and make more money for Tong Guan.

And there is another very important reason, that is, the battle of Western Xia.

Because the treasury is abundant, and the relationship with the Liao State has been greatly improved, so this summer battle is extremely well prepared, if nothing else, the army will be sent this year. Zhao Ji and Tong Guan's plan was to use about five years to completely uproot this separatist force entrenched in the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty.

The material of wine will also be of great help to mobilize the tribes in the northwest and induce them to send troops to help.

"It's easy." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"I understand, Brother Zhou Xian, if you don't dislike it, how about enjoying the lanterns with me tonight?"

Zhou Quan was stunned for a moment, it stands to reason that Tong Jian should be by Tong Guan's side tonight, and although the two have a little friendship, they are only limited to the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce.

After a turn of thought, Zhou Quan roughly guessed what Tong was going to do, and he nodded: "Okay, Brother Tong will set a time." ”

"When the time comes, I'll send someone to pick you up at the house." Tong gradually pursed his lips and smiled.

This guy is the grandson of the dead eunuch, and he laughs with a little sissy, and after Zhou Quan sent him away, he saw He Yanang, the grandson of He Zhizhong, running away.

The master was originally going to urge Zhou Quan to go back, but when he saw this guy, he pouted unhappily: "What the hell are these guys doing, they are sneaky one by one!" ”

"The word profit can naturally move people's hearts." Zhou Quan laughed.

He Yanang was a little fat, ran to Zhou Quan's side, and wiped the sweat on his forehead vigorously: "I was scared to death, although I have been skilled, but I have never been so close before!" ”

"Don't tell lies, the official family is easy to travel, and often enters the house of the ruler, and your family has not received the official family?"

He Yanang suddenly shouted: "The ancestor of the family is a human being, Lang Jun, you know, honest and thrifty, there is no governance in the family, so the official family is unwilling to go." Even once or twice once in a while, I was driven away after only two bows from afar, where can I get to the front like today! ”

Seeing Zhou Quan smiling and silent, He Yanang shouted again: "Lang Jun, my family is really poor, I can't compare to them!" ”

"There, isn't Uncle Ling doing a good job?" Zhou Quan said.

He Yanang's fat face was slightly red.

The Rongcheng plan, from proposing to promoting, was all done by Zhou Quan, but after going through hardships and dangers to the harvest time, the princes of the court kicked Zhou Quan away and jumped out to pick peaches. Although He Zhizhong was not the mastermind at that time, he acquiesced to this situation, and even secretly contributed to the troubles and obtained a good job in Rongcheng for one of his sons.

It's only been a year, and his son sent forty or fifty thousand yuan of money from Xiongzhou Rongcheng, so that He Zhizhong is finally not so shabby in the Jingshi Ministers.

"Uh, Brother Zhou, I don't have any skills, I just know a few imperial histories, Zhu Mian, I'm not used to seeing him for a long time, just wait for the Shangyuan Festival, I will ask these royal historians to play and drive this guy out of Beijing!"

"Well, I also don't like Zhu Mian, brother, you have to be careful, this guy is not easy to mess with, if you need my help, you just have to say." Zhou Quan patted his chest and promised.

He Yanang's fat face was full of astonishment.

Originally, it was Zhou Quan's business, he was angry for Zhou Quan, but how did it happen...... His business?

This kind of cheeky ability to reverse black and white seems to be only possessed by an old and cunning person like his grandfather, right?

After a long while, He Yanang's expression returned to naturalness, and he smiled wryly: "Okay, good, if there is a need, I will definitely come to Brother Zhou Xian!" ”

He made up his mind in his heart, he offended Zhou Quan in the matter of returning to Rongcheng last time, and now is a rare opportunity, not only to redeem the lost affection, but also to take the opportunity to bring the two families closer.

After going back, let those imperial historians hurry up, not only them, but also those guys who claim to be clear, such as Chen Dong and Chen Chaolao, who always look at their grandfather indifferently, can also let people instigate!

"Now we can go, shall we?" The master saw that the fat man had also left, and asked Zhou Quan again.

"Don't worry, there are still people who haven't come?"

Although these gentlemen can't be sorted out, they can go back home, how can they not be educated by their families, so Zhou Quan can continue to wait.

Then he saw Empress Zheng's younger brother Zheng Tong coming, just in time, Zhao Youzhang, the son of King Yan, also slipped out of the palace, and the two happened to come at the same time to ask for Zhou Quan, and when they saw each other, they both showed embarrassment.

Whether it is a relative or a prince, there are many taboos for befriending ministers. The two were silent for a while, and Zhao Youzhang said: "Brother Zhou, don't forget my little brother if you have benefits, the little brother has no other skills, so he can only wave the flag and shout for his brother." ”

Zheng Tong also nodded again and again: "No matter what you do, count me as one!" ”

Both of them originally had something to say to Zhou Quan, but they couldn't say it at this time, so they could only retreat.

However, when they arrived, their position was clear.

"It's time to go, right?" The teacher felt that these people were so boring, and my brother finally returned to Beijing, but these people always came to disturb him.

She also wanted to find an opportunity to ask what was going on with the rumored princess of Liaoguo!

"Uh, master, I have someone to wait for." Zhou Quan said.

The master was quite disappointed, so he could only let out a listless sigh, and then there was a nonsense with him without a word.

In Yanfu Palace, Zhu Mian wiped the sweat on his forehead and got down from the hanging basket with a miserable smile.

The taste of a hot air balloon is not pleasant. If Zhao Fujin hadn't asked him to go up and try, he could have pretended to be deaf and dumb, and Zhao Ji would have looked for the brave forbidden soldiers to go up.

But Xiao Fujin ordered him, if he shirked, wouldn't all the previous words of loyalty become a bully?

Therefore, Zhu Mian could only "rely on himself and fight bravely" and proposed to Zhao Ji that he get on the hot air balloon.

Zhao Ji's heart was completely biased towards Zhou Quan at this time, Zhu Mian offered a few stones and a few trees, as long as it was a person, he could do it, Zhou Quan offered copper and hot air balloons, which no one else could do except Zhou Quan.

Therefore, Zhao Ji also wanted to teach Zhu Mian a lesson and let him settle down, so he acquiesced to Zhu Mian to go up in a hot air balloon.

When he was on the hot air balloon, Zhu Mian was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, so naturally he couldn't enjoy the fun of taking off.

Seeing that Zhu Mian still looked lost and depressed after getting off the hot air balloon, Zhao Ji was even more unhappy in his heart, so he comforted him casually and sent him away.

As for the matter of giving the house, because the court is now on vacation, it can only be postponed for a few days, and in these few days, Zhu Mian can only go to rent a house.

As soon as Zhu Mian took a step, he found that his feet were weak, and it was difficult for him to walk.

finally rubbed in front of the palace, and Zhu Mian found out that Zhou Quan hadn't left yet!

"I suggest you hurry back to Suzhou."

Finally waiting for Zhu Mian, Zhou Quan strode in front of him and glared at him fiercely.

"Hmph, I don't believe it, you can still cover the sky with one hand in the Jingshi!" Zhu Mian said sharply.

"You just got it, I just said, I brought a boatload of 20,000 catties of copper!" Zhou Quan said.

"So what?"

"At today's price, I can pour you dung a hundred more times and oil you a hundred times...... Zhu Mian, the southeast half of the wall, there are more than 100 households that have been demolished and destroyed by you, right? Zhou Quan sneered.

Zhu Mian was stunned.

Only then did he understand that Zhou Quan stayed not only to see his upside-down appearance, but also to threaten him, asking him to get out of the house as soon as possible.

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice, "What do you want?" ”

"Didn't I tell you to go back to Suzhou?" Zhou Quan stared at him coldly.

"I came to Beijing to ...... because of the official family."

"Don't think I don't know, you gave Li Yan a generous gift, so he spoke for you and asked you to come to Beijing, and you are here just to take advantage of my absence in Beijing, to slander me behind my back, and to pull me back." Zhou Quan said.

"You are a sin that you want to add, and there is no excuse for it!" Zhu Mian almost screamed.

Then, he saw Zhou Quan smiling. (To be continued.) )
