"Don't eat Zhou Su The four words are used well, although Dr. Li is determined to die, but he also conveys such a message: Zhou will be a businessman. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

In an inconspicuous corner of the Donghai Business Daily, there is news of Li Ruoshui's suicide, and alongside this news is a commentary signed by Zou Huzhi.

Now the Donghai Business Daily has unabashedly published some spicy comments, and the Great Song royal family, including Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan, Zhao Kai and the rest of the clans, are the targets of their criticism. Although there is still some cover-up about Zhou Quan's self-reliance on behalf of Song, this "Zhou Bidai businessman" has already made their position clear.

"It's really bold, and now that Zhou hasn't done business on behalf of him, he dares to speak like this!"

In the Xuzhou teahouse, some people looked at the latest issue of the Donghai Business Daily and sighed.

"What do you know, this is a satire of the past, the descendants of the Song Dynasty, the King of Wu, and the Zhou Dynasty, which is the metaphor of the prosperity of the Zhou family and the decline of the Song family!" Another humane.

"Joke, you think you understand, I don't understand?" The former one puffed.

Zhao Mingcheng silently put down the teacup, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When will the change of dynasty be able to be discussed in public?

But he also knows very well why this kind of thing can be discussed in public in Xuzhou.

Including Xuzhou, Jingdong Road and some places in Huaibei will be owned by Zhou Quan, in fact, the people sent by Zhou Quan have been stationed in the Taishou Mansion in Pengcheng, sealing the warehouse, cleaning the prison, issuing decrees, everything is done in an orderly manner.

This also has something to do with the good foundation of Xuzhou, for the people of Xuzhou, Zhou Quan directly governs here, which is much better than the inexplicable characters sent by the imperial court, and even Miao Zhongxian, who has been a guard in Xuzhou for many years, is also very happy to welcome the personnel who came to replace him.

"When I was really young and promising, when I first ran the Xuhai Railway, when I saw Jian Gong, I felt that Jian Gong was extraordinary, but I didn't expect it to be long...... Jian Gong has already reached such a point, and in the future, the Zhou Gong system will be established, and Jian Gong will be unspeakably expensive! ”

When Zhao Mingcheng was thinking about it, he heard such a proverb coming into his ears, he was stunned for a moment, looked back, and saw that the curtain of the tea shop was lifted, and several people walked out.

The one who was full of words was Miao Zhongxian who he remembered just now, who had worked in Xuzhou for more than ten years, and the time was unique. There had been some friction with Zhou Quan earlier, but then he saw the opportunity quickly, and the relationship between the two sides quickly warmed, and he also took the opportunity to catch Zhou Quan's downwind boat and made a lot of money.

Zhao Mingcheng heard that the assets of the former Xuzhou Taishou exceeded five million silver yuan, and there was even a saying that he had assets of more than ten million silver yuan. The problem is that his "official reputation" is not bad, except for the ugly appearance of Su Shi's inscription when he first took office, he has a reputation of "honesty" in Xuzhou since then.

Of course, Zhao Mingcheng knows why he is honest, since he has taken Zhou Quan's tailwind boat, where do he still care about the little bit of corruption and bribery in the official position.

And the person who was respectfully called Jian Gong by Miao Zhongxian was actually much younger than Miao Zhongxian, twenty or thirty years younger!

This is only a young man of twenty-two or three years old, and although he has a beard, it can be seen that he is not very old. But his expression was extremely calm, neither arrogant because of Miao Zhongxian's flattery, nor disgusted because he was not suitable for this kind of touting.

Zhao Mingcheng also recognized this "Jian Gong", Jian Zhongming, who had been a messenger to Zhao's house to deliver a letter to Zhou Quan, and he was one of the young people trained by Zhou Quan. Before he was 20 years old, he presided over the construction of the railway from Xuzhou to Haizhou, and then disappeared for a period of time.

At this time, Zhou Quan took over Shandong and Huaibei, and he returned to Xuzhou and assumed the post of governor of Huaibei Province.

The Governor's Office of Huaibei Province was set up in Xuzhou, while Haizhou was set up as a special city, independent of Shandong and Huaibei Provinces, and a designated person was appointed as the governor. In addition to these two provinces, the land of Hebei taken from the Jin State also set up Hebei Province, plus Liaoning Province other than Yuguan, and the territory controlled by Zhou Quan suddenly increased to four provinces and a special city.

In order to adapt to this, Zhou Quan is reorganizing the rest of the territory under his control, and Jeju is also changed to Jeju Special City, Liuqiu becomes Liuqiu Province, and the two special cities of Wuxing Province are rightfully his territory. In addition to this, he had four concessions in Goryeo, two viceroyalties in Japan and two in Luzon, and one in Champong—all of which, when combined, he controlled more than a million square miles of land.

Elsewhere there was an administrative system, but only in the four provinces and one special city in Xinduo, everything had to be re-established.

"Young Brother Jian, I never wanted to see you here!" Seeing Jian Zhongming, Zhao Mingcheng's face turned slightly purple, but he still stood up and saluted him with his fists.

Jian Zhongming glanced at Zhao Mingcheng, recognized him, and returned the salute, and said with a smile: "I actually saw Mr. Zhao here, is Mr. Li good?" ”

Mr. Li is Li Qingzhao, because of the dictionary, Zhou Quan has great respect for Li Qingzhao, and even the teenagers who grew up around him respect him very much. This made Zhao Mingcheng even more embarrassed, after all, to some extent, Zhou Quan's courtesy to him was earned by his wife.

He didn't hear about the rumors about his wife and Zhou Quan, but he knew his own family affairs and knew that this was a fictitious thing.

But today is different, he didn't come here by chance, but when he heard that Miao Zhong was here to invite Jian Zhongming to tea, he intended to wait here.

Therefore, he endured the shame in his heart and forced a smile: "I was thinking of visiting Young Brother Jian, but I didn't expect to meet here, I don't know if Young Brother Jian is free, I will ask Young Brother for a cup of tea." ”

Jian Zhongming pursed his lips, Zhao Mingcheng's attitude was much more respectful than when he went to Zhao's house.

However, Jian Zhongming knows why, because Zhou Quan's current identity is different from the beginning.

Everyone can see that the future of Zhou Quan's side is unlimited, Zhao Mingcheng's reputation in the Great Song Dynasty has been ruined, and there is no hope for a career, now he should want to transfer to Zhou Quan's side to see the rise of new forces, all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, and talents are urgently needed, whether he can mix up with an official and a half-job.

Miao Zhongxian also understood what Zhao Mingcheng meant, but Miao Zhongxian just smiled.

He had a sense of superiority in his heart, and the relationship between Zhao Mingcheng and Zhou Quan was far better than his. It's just that his brain turned quickly, but Zhao Mingcheng wanted to hold the sinking ship of the Great Song Dynasty, but now, the situation between the two sides has reversed.

Although he does not have an official position in the new forces, Miao Zhongxian knows that his status and wealth will allow him to have enough say in the new forces, as long as he does not die, then his family will be rich and noble for several generations, and it will be extremely stable.

"Mr. Zhao has an appointment, Zhong Ming must obey, but now everything has just started, and it is extremely busy, and the time cannot be too long, please forgive Mr. Zhao." Jian Zhongming said.

This is to save face for Li Qingzhao.

Of course, Zhao Mingcheng knew that he was embarrassed to beg Zhou Quan, after all, Zhou Quan had persuaded him not to go to Baozhou, but he was scolded. After settling down, he smiled and said: "Now that I am living in Xuzhou idle, I have nothing to do, and I know that Zhou Gong is in a waste of waste, although I am not talented, I am willing to contribute to Zhou Gong." It's just that Duke Zhou is still in Bianjing now, and he can't see him for a while, so he came to see Young Brother Jian. ”

Jian Zhongming smiled, since he arrived in Xuzhou two days ago, there have been many people who have come to ask for official self-recommendation.

It's just that these people don't seem to understand that there is no place for them in Zhou Quan's new forces.

Zhao Mingcheng may be able to guess a little, but he probably feels that he and Zhou Quan have an old relationship after all, and Zhou Quan always has to give some face.

It's a pity that the fact that this person abandoned the city in Baozhou and fled has long been spread all over the world, including Zhou Quan's subordinates, who are a little disdainful of his character.

Of course, the new forces will not be reused for this kind of person, but Jian Zhongming happens to have a position in his hand, which is just more suitable for him.

"Mr. Zhao has a heart, speaking of which, there is something that needs Mr. Zhao...... The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is about to move to Jeju and needs someone to accompany him throughout the whole process, if Mr. Zhao thinks it is appropriate, I wonder if he can accompany the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty? ”

"Poof!"

Miao Zhongxian next to him couldn't hold back and laughed, but then pursed his mouth again.

Zhao Mingcheng's face was like a pig's liver, and he wanted to refuse, but he understood that this was probably his only chance.

He fled from Baozhou before, Yu Yingtian was seriously ill, if it wasn't for Zhou Quan's help, he was afraid that he would die of illness. Now that he is well, he came to Xuzhou, but his family wealth was abandoned, and he had to be blinded when he returned to his hometown, so he wanted to come out and find a way out.

After thinking about it, Zhao Mingcheng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I am willing to ...... for Duke Zhou Do it! ”

"That being the case, Mr. Zhao can come to the Provincial Government Office tomorrow, and I will accompany Mr. to meet the Emperor at that time." Jian Zhongming said with a smile.

"Whoa!" Zhao Mingcheng responded.

Early the next morning, he came to the provincial government office to ask to see Jian Zhongming, Jian Zhongming did not neglect him, invited him to sit in his own office, Zhao Mingcheng saw that Jian Zhongming was busy, and he met more than ten officials in just one hour, and these officials were all in their early twenties, but either they were going to be the magistrate of any county, or they were going to be the secretary of a certain department, Zhao Mingcheng felt a little uncomfortable.

He knew where these young people came from, and they had all been cultivated by Zhou Quan for more than ten years.

All of them have studied for at least six years, and have only studied three subjects: Chinese language, arithmetic and practical science, and then they have also gone through three to six years of internship, especially in the Xuhai Railway, Beijing-Xuzhou Railway or Liuqiu, and they have performed well in these places, so they have today's jobs.

With these people, it's no wonder that Zhou Quan doesn't need an old Confucian like him.

Just when Zhao Mingcheng was discouraged, Jian Zhongming got up and said: "Mr. Lao Zhao has been waiting for a long time, the time is almost up, Mr. Zhao went with me to see the emperor, he has been in a bit unhappy recently, Mr. Zhao ...... How much to unravel. ”

Zhao Mingcheng nodded, he also had some expectations in his heart, I don't know what Emperor Zhao Ji is like now. (To be continued.) )
