Li Bangyan's words made Zhao Ji's face really gloomy.

This son of heaven acts, but there are no rules to speak of, otherwise Zhang Dian would not have said at the beginning, "King Duan is frivolous and cannot inherit the heir".

But there were other people next to him at this time.

Liang Shicheng is also one of Zhao Ji's attendants, Zhou Quan's appearance here made him very surprised, originally he thought that Zhou Quan could not rescue Zhou's father except for begging him. Now it seems that Zhou Quan has a way to appear here, and there is a way to attract Zhao Ji's attention.

The most important thing is that Zhou Quan can make money.

So he smiled: "Not only popsicles, the old slave now earns some money from snow sugar, and it is also a secret method obtained from this young man. ”

Hearing that he could "make money", Zhao Ji's face suddenly turned cloudy.

For Zhao Ji, a courtier who can get money for him is a good courtier. Since Cai Jingjin said "Fengheng Yuda", he has spent a lot of money, and as a result, the treasury and internal treasures are a little unable to make ends meet.

The reason why he can't give up on Cai Jing is because Cai Jing will gather. Liang Shicheng was so greedy outside, and even dared to say to his face that he had made a lot of money from snow candy, and the reason behind it was that a considerable part of the money made by this snow candy bypassed the treasury and went directly into the interior.

It can be said that Zhou Quan's secret method will give Zhao Ji an extra few hundred thousand yuan of income every year, and for this alone, Zhao Ji feels that it is enough to reach a six-rank official rank.

If you change to another emperor of the Son of Heaven, you may feel that it is really rude to see Zhou Quan, a commoner, but Zhao Ji has a different personality, and in his heart, he still wants to mix in the market and mix with the common people.

Therefore, he smiled and said, "This chess is also made by you, what is the name of this chess?" ”

He laughed while looking at the game of chess played by Zhao Huan and Zhao Kai, at this time, the two brothers were holding hands with each other lovingly, without the slightest reluctance to each other.

"This chess is made by the grass people, and the grass people like to play and be inspired by it, and make this chess, and it is played like this......"

Zhou Quan said the rules of checkers again, Zhao Ji was very interested, and I don't know if he got his signal, and immediately someone moved Jindun and a few cases, Zhao Ji stretched out his hand: "Let me try it too." ”

He didn't call himself "I", but he was an easy person. Zhou Quan sat down after saluting, and asked Zhao Ji to take the lead, Zhao Ji groaned slightly, moved a son, and Zhou Quan also responded decently.

Zhao Ji is extremely smart, just listening to Zhou Quan explain the rules once, he is very disciplined, and every step is very far-sighted. Zhou Quan was thinking about whether to let him at first, but after a few steps, he felt pressure.

After the first game, Zhao Ji won one step over Zhou Quan by virtue of his first-hand advantage.

"Haha, this chess has some meaning, the first move is strong, and then the strike, all kinds of military techniques are hidden in the chess." Zhao Ji laughed, quite self-conscious in his heart.

"Your Majesty is naturally intelligent, and I ask Your Majesty to give this chess a name." Zhou Quan saw that he was in a good mood, and immediately slapped his ass again.

Since ancient times, asking the leader to name the title is a relatively high-end method of patting on the back. Zhao Ji was in a happy mood at this time, and he was a little interested in Zhou Quan's ability to make money, so he immediately smiled and beckoned.

Immediately, a little eunuch presented a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and Zhao Ji thought for a while: "This chess piece jumps, let's do checkers!" ”

After speaking, he wrote the word "checkers" on the paper, and Zhou Quan immediately bowed down and said: "Thank you Your Majesty for the name!" In the future, the minister will sell this chess in the name of checkers, and for every two dollars he gets, please offer one of them...... Add makeup with Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

Zhao Ji gave up his pen and ink, got up with his hands behind his back, and laughed: "Qing's words can be described as floating waves, my beloved daughter, how can you add makeup!" ”

He was happy in his heart, and directly called Zhou Quan Qing, obviously regarding him as his close minister.

"Your Majesty is rich all over the world, and now the country is rich and the people are rich, so he naturally looks down on this. Xiaomin is actually a little selfish, since His Majesty ascended to the pole, civil and martial arts have been rare in ancient times, and all the people in the world have returned to their hearts. If you know that buying a game of checkers can add makeup to the princess, presumably this checkers can be sold more, and those who sell checkers can also earn more, which is Your Majesty's kindness, love and protect the people......"

Zhou Quan's tongue is rotten lotus, and a lot of touting words gushed out, if the literati look at it at this time, although his method of patting sycophants is ingenious, it is inevitably frivolous, but for Zhao Ji, it is fresh.

It is clearly to collect money from the people, but it turns out to help the people get rich, maybe only Cai Jing's Fengheng Yuda is quite similar to this.

At that moment, Zhao Ji was happy: "Even if this is the case, if I don't allow it, won't it prevent the people from getting rich...... Well, I've got it! ”

He was actually joking, and Li Bangyan gritted his teeth when he heard it, but Li Bangyan understood that if he wanted to be entangled in this matter, he was afraid that if he won this battle, he would inevitably damage his image in front of the Son of Heaven, so he held back.

"This little slippery head must have come here to intercede for his father's guilt, and it will not be too late for me to say anything at that time, as long as His Majesty is angered, he will be able to make his achievements undone, and even ...... Guilty for it! ”

Li Bangyan pricked up his ears with his own idea, waiting for Zhou Quan to mention his father's affairs.

But Zhou Quan never talked about this, but praised this Yanfu Palace: "When Xiaomin comes to this Yanfu Palace, he feels like a fairyland, heaven and earth, but it's so ......."

Zhao Ji smiled faintly, but this time he was not too happy, because although Yanfu Palace was good, countless people had already praised him in front of him, and no matter how much Zhou Quan praised it, he couldn't jump out of this circle.

What's more, at this time, he was already a little dissatisfied with Yanfu Palace.

Listening to Zhou Quan's praise, Zhao Ji was a little tired, and was about to wave the young man away, when suddenly Zhou Quan changed his mouth and said, "It's just a little flawed...... The mud road is easy to be muddy in rainy days, and the bluestone road is too uneven, and it is magnificent and immense, which is still insufficient. ”

Zhao Ji's face was slightly gloomy, and Li Bangyan over there felt that the opportunity had come, and scolded: "Boldly Diao Min, dare to criticize the Imperial Garden, the official family, such a cunning person, why not drive him out of the garden!" ”

Zhou Quan glanced at him and said with a smile: "This is Li Xiaoshu, and if he dares to say such words in front of the officials, it is naturally for a reason......

Zhao Ji suddenly became interested, this young man can speak well, and he is also clever and wise, he actually likes it a little in his heart, so he said: "What is the cause and effect?" ”

"This has to start with the snow candy......" Zhou Quan said.

Li Bangyan didn't react to this opening, but others were happy first.

Zhao Ji looked at the smiling person, but it was Yang Jian.

"Yang Jian, why are you laughing?" Zhao Ji asked.

"The slave remembered what happened to this little boy in Kaifeng Mansion, and he told Li Xiaoshou that Bao Xiaosu was almost from the time of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors." Yang Jian said.

He seemed to be disturbed, but in fact, he sold his favor to Zhou Quan. Zhao Ji suddenly recalled that the name of the young man in front of him was not just because popsicles and snow candy came to his ears.

Then he remembered that Cai You had mentioned the paragraph about the street poetry.

The preparations made by Zhou Quan before have finally seen results at this moment, and Zhao Ji is interested in asking carefully.

"Let's talk about it." He said to Zhou Quan.

Ignoring Li Bangyan's scolding, although Li Bangyan's skin was thick enough, he couldn't help blushing slightly at this time.

At the same time, he began to drum a little in his heart.

Looking at the situation, Zhou Quan can really please the official family, and the only thing that can stop him now is when Zhou Quan wants to save his father.

Li Bangyan didn't think about it, he wanted to poke out the case of the Jia family's annihilation, but this case was concealed and suppressed from Kaifeng Mansion to the officials below, and if he really poked it out, it would be hard to say if he could harm Zhou Quan, but he himself would offend a large number of people first.

Zhou Quan laughed, and then said: "Xiaomin's secret recipe for snow candy came from a righteous man, and he got it from a businessman. That business traveled overseas and said many interesting things, Xiaomin listened to the righteous man, and he didn't remember much, but there was one thing that Xiaomin was interested in. ”

"What?" Hearing that it was the overseas fun brought by Fanshang, Zhao Ji's interest became even higher.

"I heard that in the land of Taixi, there is a country named Fulin, and its country is vast, no less than my emperor Song ......" Zhou Quan began to half-truth: "In the history of his country, there is an emperor who is majestic and strategic, and expands the territory, and builds an imperial garden in his capital. ”

Hearing "Imperial Garden", Zhao Ji's eyes suddenly lit up.

At this time, the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty was beyond the reach of the surrounding countries. Even if he couldn't defeat the Liao State in the war, he had suffered a lot of losses in the northwest to compete with the Western Thieves, but culturally, the Great Song Dynasty was enough to tie up the Liao State, the Western Thieves, plus Goryeo and Japan together and crush them.

Now Zhou Quan said that there is a country in Taixi overseas, which is equivalent to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, although the level of civilization is not as good, but it is not far behind, especially this country also has an emperor who likes to be confined to the garden, Zhao Ji immediately had a sense of substitution.

"This garden is gorgeous, because it is built on a high platform, so its king named it, called it 'hanging garden', and it is one of the seven wonders of the world by the people who have learned from its country."

Building the Imperial Garden on a high platform has opened Zhao Ji's brain, he himself is the top artist at this time, but he never thought that he could build a garden on top of a high platform. When he heard the "hanging garden", he clenched his fists and held his breath, and then waved heavily: "When it is like this!" ”

After Zhao Ji ascended the throne, he built a lot of construction and built this Yanfu Palace, but he still had shortcomings in his heart, and he had already planned for the later Genyue.

It's just that at this time, he didn't have a too specific concept of Gen Yue, and only thought that Kaifeng's terrain was flat, and he must pile up rocks to form a mountain to meet the feng shui of Beijing.

But in front of him, Zhou Quan pushed open a new window, making him feel that the new garden he wanted to build should also be a hanging garden.

When he blurted out, Zhou Quan stopped talking and didn't say any more. Zhao Ji put his hands behind his back, turned around twice, looked around again, and thought of lifting these pavilions and stone springs into the air, and his heart was hard to suppress the excitement.

"Your Majesty, this Diao people are just lying to Your Majesty, where can you really build a garden in the air! From the perspective of Weichen, this person is exaggerated and unbelievable! Zhao Jizheng was excited, and Li Bangyan felt that he had finally waited for another opportunity, and said.

He didn't look at Zhou Quan, but Zhou Quan felt a chill!
