Not to mention the resentment in Cai You's heart, the news that Zhu Mian lost his life soon spread out of Jingshi and reached Li Bangyan's ears. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

At this time, Li Bangyan was taking refuge in his hometown in Huaizhou, Hedong, when the news came, he was carrying chopsticks to prepare to eat, hearing the news, the chopsticks fell to the ground unconsciously, for a long time, he looked back at the concubine beside him: "When the sun went out of Beijing, you once laughed at me for being in a hurry, and now it seems that fortunately I am in a hurry, otherwise Zhu Mian will have more companions on the road to Jiuquan!" ”

The concubine was also discolored: "I don't know how Zhou Quan dares to do this, the master offends this fang, you must avoid it!" ”

"Don't worry, rest assured, Zhu Mian is dead, his breath is gone, plus the last incident, I didn't participate, if I was by his side at that time, I would have to be pulled together with Zhu Mian to clean up, but since I am not there, I know Zhou Quan's character, as long as he doesn't send it to the door himself, he doesn't bother to come to me for trouble...... Hehe, he has to earn tens of thousands of dollars a day, and he comes to me for trouble, it's not worth it. ”

Li Bangyan called himself a prodigal son, and when he realized that the worry about his life had passed, he spoke a little lightly. But what he said was to the point, as long as he didn't get in the way, Zhou Quan was too lazy to see him in general.

After all, Zhao Ji is surrounded by such wine bags and rice bags, which may be more convenient for Zhou Quan.

"How long will the master stay here to avoid him?" The concubine asked again.

"It didn't take long for that guy to clean up Zhu Mian, he was idle, and the foundation was outside, and he was bound to go out of Beijing next, as soon as he left Beijing, I would return to Beijing...... Zhu Mian just couldn't see through it, so he lost his life! ”

As Li Bangyan expected, only a few days after Zhu Mian's death, Zhou Quan left the capital.

However, he did not return to Xuzhou or Haizhou, but went to Yingtianfu. His father Zhou Fu was in Yingtianfu at this time, and after the father and son secretly discussed for a period of time, the Donghai Business Daily announced in a high-profile manner that the Zhou father and son had established a chamber of commerce called the Great Song Central Plains Railway Chamber of Commerce, which would recruit equity and issue bonds, and its main project was to build the Beijing-Xu Railway.

"It's really the Beijing-Xu Railway...... This newspaper made it clear that in the first round of equity subscription, someone had already secretly subscribed for 2.2 million yuan of equity, constituting 22% of the total equity......"

Putting down the Donghai Business Daily, Li Bangyan said proudly to the person in front of him.

At this time, Li Bangyan had returned to Beijing, and the person in front of him was Geng Nanzhong.

"Does Gong Li know who this secret subscriber is?" Geng Nanzhong said in a low voice.

Li Bangyan's heart moved slightly, and then pointed to the sky: "That one? ”

"Exactly, but it was Zhu Mian who paid the money, Zhu Mian, a thief, who had the emperor's grace and looted in the southeast, he really deserved death!"

Geng Nanzhong said this, and he was actually thinking in his heart, you Li Bangyan are no better.

But he could only think about it, but he couldn't say it.

After the battle of the Imperial City Division, Geng Nanzhong knew very well that although Zhao Kai's power was lost, the holy family was not lost, and the position of the prince Zhao Huan was still in jeopardy. So he has to find foreign aid, but the best foreign aid Zhou Quan, he can't look down on it - if Zhou Quan really helps, the prince's continuation of the throne is complete, and the biggest decision is Zhou Quan's, what benefits can he Geng Nanzhong get?

Moreover, the prince himself is also very disgusted with Zhou Quan, compared to Zhao Ji, the prince Zhao Huan's personality is much more old-fashioned, and he can't look at Zhou Quan's new things at all, under the influence of Geng Nanzhong and others, Zhao Huan believes that a good emperor must live a simple life, and the tricks and tricks are ingenious, as long as they can't uphold morality, it will be beneficial to the country and the people.

Someone once compared cement to cement and said that cement helps fortifications and defend against foreign enemies, and Zhao Huan's response at that time was: As long as people's hearts are right, benevolence and righteousness are practiced, and morality is not lost, they will naturally unite as one, and they do not need to strengthen the city, and they are enough to defend themselves.

From the perspective of Confucianism, this is of course a great truth that cannot be more correct, but the great truth in this world is often a big nonsense.

Since Zhou Quan can't be found, most of the influential officials in the court remain neutral on the issue of the dispute between the princes, and the inner servants in the palace are mostly biased towards Zhao Kai according to Zhao Ji's preferences. In this case, Geng Nanzhong set his sights on a group of people who were favored by Zhao Ji and were not very powerful now, among which Li Bangyan was a representative figure.

Therefore, after Li Bangyan returned to Beijing this time, he couldn't wait, so he secretly asked Li Bangyan to meet.

It is also the blessing of Tuo Zhouquan, in recent years, the Beijing division has become more prosperous, like the small teahouse they are staying in now can be seen everywhere, sitting in the box, it is quiet and safe, and there is no need to worry about someone eavesdropping.

"Li Gong, do you think this Beijing-Xu Railway can be completed?" Geng Nanzhong asked again.

Li Bangyan sneered: "Don't look at the will of the imperial court, but this Beijing-Xuzhou Railway stretches for more than 600 miles, it seems to be nearly 700 miles, not to mention the cross-state government, how many people in the middle are related to it?" This is not Xuzhou, where the Zhou family's father and son cover the sky with one hand, and the local township party tycoons will easily let go of this piece of fat? ”

Geng Nanzhong has been a Beijing official, and he really doesn't understand local things, and when he heard Li Bangyan's words, he looked solemn: "That means that it is difficult to succeed?" ”

Of course, he hopes that it will be difficult to succeed, although Zhao Huan's main competitor is Zhao Kai now, but if the Beijing-Xu Railway is really successful, Zhao Gou, who initiated this matter, will inevitably get Zhao Ji's attention, which also means that Zhao Huan will have one more opponent. Even if the current Zhao Gou is still very inconspicuous, Geng Nanzhong, as a subordinate official of the East Palace, needs to nip the smallest trouble in the bud.

"If someone else does it, of course it can't be done, Zhou Quan does it, I don't dare to say that it can't be done...... Geng Gong, you also know how many things that others think can't be done have been done in his hands! But even if it's him, it's difficult, it's rare to be even bigger than cultivating Shu Dao! ”

Li Bangyan also transferred his wealth to the crown prince at this time, so he had nothing to hide when he spoke in front of Geng Nanzhong.

At the same time, in Cai's mansion, Cai You saw Cai Xing running back with a smile, and his face sank: "You are not at home and studying, where did you go?" ”

"Dad, don't you don't read much?" Cai Xing said.

Cai You was suddenly furious and was about to scold, but saw his son hold up a piece of paper: "Daddy, don't worry, look at this!" ”

Cai You didn't care about beating him, so he took a look at it, but it was a confessional document.

Because of the beginning of the Donghai Chamber of Commerce, now the Song Dynasty industry and commerce are prosperous, and anyone who has a little wealth is happy to run a chamber of commerce. All of a sudden, there were many large and small chambers of commerce in the Great Song Dynasty, and there were more than 50 chambers of commerce registered with the household department that paid more than 100,000 yuan in commercial taxes every year. Therefore, this kind of pledge document when the chamber of commerce was first established is not very rare, at least Cai You has seen many copies.

"What the hell ......"

"Dad, you can see clearly, this is not a thing, this is the subscription document of the Beijing-Xu Railway General Chamber of Commerce, the Beijing-Xu Railway General Chamber of Commerce!"

"So what?"

Hearing that his son took this Beijing-Xu Railway Chamber of Commerce so seriously, Cai You snorted dissatisfiedly.

"It's not good, it's nothing more than taking Zhou Quan's money-making treasure ship again, but unfortunately, this guy is stingy, and I am only allowed to subscribe for 500,000 yuan, and he said that this is for our Cai family......"

Cai You only felt a buzzing sound in his head.

That's 500,000 yuan!

As the eldest son of the Cai family, it's not that he hasn't seen money, let alone 500,000 yuan, millions of yuan, and tens of millions of dollars, it's not that he has never seen it. But sadly, Cai Jing is in charge of the Cai family, Cai Qian is in charge of finance, and Cai Xing is responsible for coordinating with the Donghai Chamber of Commerce. In other words, Cai You, who is the son of the Cai family and the father of Cai Xing, is unable to interfere in this.

His son easily spent 500,000 guan without his consent, without even consulting with him.

"You...... Confused! ”

Originally, he was going to scold, but when the words came to his mouth, they turned into blame.

"What's the confusion?"

"No wonder there is a rumor in Beijing, saying that the old man asked the grandsons, where does the rice come from, you say that the rice comes from the pot, the other grandson says that the fan comes from the grain bag, and there is a grandson who mocks the two and says that the rice comes from the grain store......"

Cai You is talking about a joke that circulates in the capital, and the implication is that the grandchildren of the Cai family are all gentlemen, do not know the livelihood of the people, and are not diligent and do not distinguish between the four bodies and the five grains. The people in Beijing are accustomed to seeing high-ranking officials, and they are bold, and they always like to make up this kind of joke behind their backs, and they can't be held accountable for their fame, so they can only say it. Such a joke also reached Cai You's ears, and he took it out at this time to teach his son a lesson.

"Daddy, you don't know your own affairs, these years, the family's external economy has all relied on my son and me." Of course, Cai Xing had also heard this joke, and protested to his father dissatisfied.

In fact, in Cai Xing's heart, if there is anyone in the family who really doesn't understand current affairs and doesn't know the economy, it is his own son.

"You're not confused, so how can you throw 500,000 guan into this bottomless pit?"

"The bottomless pit, that is advocated by Zhou Quan, and the official family has also made a big business of two million yuan! Daddy, didn't you let the child make more friends with Zhou Quan before, why don't you look down on Zhou Quan's things now? ”

"This ......" Cai You was dumbfounded, he always said to his son, I have a fancy for the position under your grandfather's ass, as long as Zhou Quan can keep making money for the Great Song Dynasty, there is no reason for your grandfather to retire and vacate the position for your son!

He slowed down, and then sighed: "This railway is very involved, you don't have to think that Zhou Quan made money before, and he will definitely make money this time." The money invested by the official money was copied from Zhu Mian's family, the official family is not distressed, can the family not feel distressed about your money? ”

"My money is also the dividends I have received from the Donghai Chamber of Commerce in recent years, what is it distressing about...... What's more, no matter how widely involved this railway is, how can it not be done if Zhou Quan comes out? Could it be that there are rumors in the DPRK and China that someone wants to obstruct this railway? This is unusual, even Zhu Mian was hanged, and anyone dared to jump out to block Zhou Quan's way? Cai Xing was amazed.

"No one in the DPRK dare, and no one in the DPRK may dare! This is not a dispute in Beijing, it is related to countless people in the countryside, if you want to build a road, you have to occupy an area, which family's field house and ancestral grave are occupied, and which family can agree? When Cai You said this, he sneered: "Look, this road is not only difficult to achieve, but also may cause a catastrophe!" (To be continued.) )
