388, Zhao Gou 2 entered Diqiu City
Zhao Gou on the official ship came for the railroad again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, he frowned, he did not expect that he wanted to improve his status in front of his father, and at the same time obtain the support of Zhou Quan, and the Beijing-Xu railway plan proposed would encounter so many opposition.
What made him even more helpless was that as a prince who had not yet taken office, he had no countermeasures to these objections at all. Even these objections, he can only silently follow them through the newspapers, and cannot intervene.
At this time, he came to Diqiu, and he finally found an opportunity, under the pretext that the railway from Xuzhou to Haizhou was fully connected, he wanted to fully experience the Xuhai railway, and at the same time asked Zhou Quan about how to deal with the current opposition to the construction of the railway.
It can be said that he is more concerned about the success or failure of the Beijing-Xu Railway than Zhou Quan and Zhao Ji.
"The prestige of the Marquis of the East China Sea in the hearts of the people is really extraordinary, and almost all the ships have people saluting the Marquis of the East China Sea."
He had something in his heart, and he couldn't help but show a hint of strangeness when he spoke, and when he heard the doubt in his tone, Zhou Quan glanced at him and didn't bother to answer.
Just kidding, if it's Zhao Ji, Zhou Quan still needs to defend himself, what is the current Zhao Construct that is worthy of his defense?
That's it, the people who begged for a living on the canal, the people of Xuzhou and Haizhou, only knew the Marquis of Zhou, but didn't know King Kang, how would you treat Zhao Gou?
Zhao Gou was forced back by his eyes, and only felt a tightness in his chest. He was thirteen or fourteen years old at this time, although the city government was extremely deep and full of ambition, but he was young after all, and under the surging blood and energy, he couldn't help but say again: "The Marquis of the East China Sea is so popular, don't you worry about ridicule?" ”
"What's there to worry about, even if these people don't do this, won't the Imperial City Division keep an eye on my family?" Zhou Quan smiled: "King Kang, the Nine Kings, you should be careful, don't move around." ”
Zhao Gou's face was flushed, and it took a while before he swallowed this breath.
He felt a little strange in his heart, when he came last year, although Zhou Quan treated him politely, he rarely spoke so bluntly and offended in some trivial matters, but today......
Zhao Gou is a suspicious person, and he has to think about everything for a long time, not to mention that there is an obvious mistake now.
After pondering and pondering, he thought that the Beijing-Xu Railway was first proposed by himself, but now that he encountered obstacles, he couldn't do anything, and he came to Zhou Quan to ask for a plan, could it be because of this that Zhou Quan despised himself?
Also, I heard that several of my brothers have also praised Zhou Quan recently, obviously, they saw that their status rose after getting Zhou Quan's support, and they all had the same heart of borrowing. Could it be that Zhou Quan felt that he was too useless, so he had the intention of supporting other brothers?
At this time, Zhao Gou was shocked to realize that he had nothing to rely on in the transaction with Zhou Quan, there were many sons of his father and emperor, and there were not very ambitious and ambitious people like him, but there were!
In other words, he has no choice and Zhou Quan has a lot of choices.
So Zhao Gou immediately became humble: "I was in the palace, and occasionally heard a news that my father sent a secret official to the north to contact the Jin State, and his person was called Ma Zhi, through the trade route of the Marquis of the East China Sea, he had a secret meeting with the people of the Jin State, and the two sides had a secret agreement. ”
Zhou Quan raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded, but there was no more expression on his face.
Zhao Gou looked at him secretly, only feeling unfathomable, and he didn't know if Zhou Quan's appearance was indicating that he had known about it for a long time, or had just heard it.
But he could only go on, saying that this matter was to prove to Zhou Quan that he had an irreplaceable role, that is, to find out all kinds of news in the palace for Zhou Quan, especially those who deliberately concealed Zhou Quan's news.
"There is another matter, my father once secretly summoned Wang Huang and asked how to deal with it if there is a foreign domain that is too strong and has become a trend of Anshi. Wang Hao said that if the external domain is too strong, there must be an internal response, such as Li Linfu in Anshi. If the inner domain is removed, then the outer domain can be leveled. ”
"It's a good self-level, Wang Huang is not learned and unskilled after all, but he forgot that Li Linfu is not dead, An Lushan does not dare to rebel, as soon as Li Linfu dies, Yang Guozhong's generation is fortunate to enter the ministers and gain power, and An Lushan immediately rebels." Zhou Quan laughed, as if he didn't know that Zhao Ji and Wang Huang were referring to him.
Zhao Gou nodded approvingly.
"And then, how is Your Majesty going to deal with Li Linfu?" Zhou Quan asked with interest again.
"My father asked Wang Huang the same way, but Wang Huang said that although Li Linfu is a traitor, there are loyal people in his family."
"Poof, I see!"
Zhou Quan smiled softly, it seems that Cai Jing's house is about to catch fire in the backyard.
The so-called loyal people in Cai Jing's family should refer to Cai You, and Zhou Quan also got information from all sides, although the Cai family cooperated with him in the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce and the court, but Cai You himself had reservations about this, and even warned his son Cai Xing more than once to keep a certain distance from Zhou Quan.
Judging from Zhou Quan's dealings with Cai You, this person is also an ambitious person.
"Diqiu has arrived, what the nine kings said, Zhou remembered in his heart, as for the matter of the Beijing-Xu Railway, the nine kings don't have to worry too much, some people incite ignorant villagers to make trouble, as long as these villagers are explained clearly, why worry that they don't support the railway?"
Of course, Zhao Gou didn't know what the truth was that Zhou Quan sent to explain clearly, it can be said that this was the great principle of destroying the peasants' personal attachment to the land, and the moment Zhou Quan released the beast of the peasant movement, it also meant that the contradictions between him and those conservatives were completely irreconcilable.
When the ship arrived at Diqiu, Zhao Gou found that Diqiu had changed again.
At this time, Zhou Fu had already left Diqiu, but he was appointed to Tianfu, and the newly appointed Diqiu Governor was named Zhao Butry, this person was the sixth grandson of Taizong, and he was the result of Zhao Ji's careful consideration. First, this person has some relationship with the Tianshui Chamber of Commerce run by the clan, and he knows the method of management, which can maintain the situation of Diqiu; secondly, this person is smart, good at figuring out people's opinions, and knows how to make trade-offs, and can handle the relationship with Zhou Quan; The third is that this person is loyal, as a clan surnamed Zhao, it is impossible for him to throw himself into Zhou Quan, which is particularly important.
It's just that Zhao Ji has calculated others, but he has not been able to calculate his own son, and he doesn't know that his son Kang Wang Zhao Gou has long been in collusion with Zhou Quan.
In the hands of Zhao Buqian, the speed of Diqiu's development has slowed down, but it has not been reduced or retreated, at least judging from the financial endowments handed over to the treasury and the inner treasury in the first half of this year, it still continues to grow. Xuzhou, together with the taxes paid by the Li Guojian, accounted for eighty percent of the Great Song Dynasty's iron tax, and the commercial tax was as high as more than 4 million yuan, nearly one-thirtieth of the tax paid by the Great Song Dynasty in half a year. It is only the industrial and commercial tax of a government, and the prosperity of its industry can be seen from this.
"It's more populous, and it's ...... The streets are much cleaner. Seeing the appearance of Diqiu City, Zhao Gou praised.
"Now Zhao Bu of Li Guojian is a man of honor, the official family sent him to know how to make good use of people, originally I thought that the official family would send someone who didn't know anything, only knew how to loot money, like Zhu Mian and other guys, if he came here, I would make him look good!"
Zhao Gou heard Zhou Quan's words, and couldn't help but be a little speechless.
How much does this hate Zhu Mian, everyone has committed suicide for most of the year, and they are still talking about that guy.
His heart suddenly moved, and it was rumored that when Zhou Quan explained to Zhao Ji the reason for killing Zhu Mian, it was Zhu Mian who dared to compete with him for a beautiful woman, and also killed the beautiful woman's father and brother. This is one of Zhou Quan's weaknesses, he is so beautiful, and he doesn't care about anything for the sake of beauty. If you can take power in the future, you should make good use of Zhou Quan's weakness......
As he pondered, the ship shook and landed on the dock.
Of course, the boat in the canal is not too big, far less than the sea boat, and Zhou Quan is not polite, so he went ashore first. Zhao Gou followed behind him, stepping on the board carefully, and when he finally stepped on land and looked at Zhou Quan again, he couldn't help but be stunned.
I saw Zhou Quan with his back to him, listening to a person talking.
Zhao Gou's ears were sharp, otherwise he would not have been able to find out so much news in the palace, and with the help of the wind, he vaguely heard two sentences: "The Great Change of Liaoguo" and "The Resumption of the Liaojin War".
It was Ji Chun who reported to Zhou Quan.
At the beginning of this year, after getting rid of Zhu Mian, Wang Qinian officially left his original position, and now he has gone to Henan, where he is presiding over the agricultural movement with the people of Jiuhe Road. And Ji Chun officially took over his duties and became the person in charge of intelligence in Zhou Quan's hands.
Although he came halfway, Zhou Quan trusted Ji Chun, and Ji Chun was also loyal, in order to repay this trust, his crazy work was even better than Wang Qinian.
"What's going on?" When Zhao Gou saw Zhou Quan coming back, he deliberately pretended not to hear it and asked Zhou Quan.
"Jin and Liao are fighting again, and they are cooperating very well in Japan, but in Liaodong, the two sides still have to fight a war to destroy the country after all!" Zhou Quan didn't care.
This was something he expected.
Since the Song, Liao, Jin, Goryeo, and Japan reached the Shimonoseki Treaty in Shimonoseki, the military operations of the five countries in Japan have basically stopped, but within Japan, due to the secret instigation of various countries, it has fallen into unprecedented division and war. But in those corners, local tycoons and monasteries have established semi-independent regimes, fighting with each other endlessly, from the beginning just to compete for territory and population, to now in order to plunder each other's human trafficking to major chambers of commerce, in short, it is a mess.
Anyway, the other four countries have made a lot of money among them, and the one who has earned the most is undoubtedly the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce, Yelu Dashi once said sourly, the wealth that their three countries don't bother to get with their faces, and seventy percent of them were accepted by Zhou Quan with a smile.
Rao is like this, Jin, Liao, and Goryeo have all gained a lot of wealth and people from Japan, which also makes the national strength of the three countries a little boosted, so the struggle between them has started again. This time, it was not only to destroy the other side, but also to compete for the colonial interests in Japan.
It was the Jin State that provoked the war, perhaps because of the tone with Song Dark, they used the excuse that the letter of the Liao State was rude, and the border between the two countries was gearing up, and the Liao State was not willing to be weak, especially the Wen Concubine faction, which has gained more and more support in recent years, has been given the opportunity to lead the army, and also wants to take advantage of this matter to establish a greater advantage on their side.
At this time, Zhou Quan couldn't imagine what kind of result this battle would bring. (To be continued.) )
