Tong Guan had to be named the captain of the school inspection, and he had his own palace outside the palace.

On this day, he was in his house and did not leave, so that every half hour or so, someone would come and bring a steady stream of news to his ears.

"The children of the Zhou family visited Liang Shicheng."

"The children of the Zhou family went home and gathered relatives and friends in the family to discuss secretly."

"The children of the Zhou family came to the Taiwei Mansion to ask to see him, but because he didn't see him, he went home embarrassed."

"The children of the Zhou family have gathered their families to discuss again!"

One by one the news was presented in front of Tong Guan, and Tong Guan smiled.

"This kid can also bully and bully fortunate ministers like Li Bangyan!" He thought to himself, stroking his beard slightly proudly.

Other eunuchs don't have beards, but Tong Guan is different, dozens of beards have grown under his cheeks, which makes Tong Guan regard it as a treasure and has always been carefully maintained.

There may be some kind of longing in his heart, that work can grow like this beard.

Zhou Quan guessed one thing wrong, that is, Tong Guan really killed him.

If it was a change to the usual, Tong Guan didn't care about the Zhou family at all, even if Zhou Dong and Zhou Fu knew that he was accused of lying about officers and mistakenly sending the lives of sergeants in the Western Army, he didn't care. Because the Zhou family is too humble, it is impossible to turn these charges into a big case.

Now it is not the case, the Zhou family has a Zhou Quan, and Zhou Quan may become Zhao Ji's close minister!

Tong Guan himself was Zhao Ji's close attendant to get a high position, and he knew better the destructive power of Zhao Ji's close ministers. Therefore, the Zhou family, which originally had no threat to him, now has.

Eliminating anyone who might threaten his position was Tong Guan's first reaction.

"Taiwei, the Zhou family's children visit Liang Shicheng again!" When Tong Guan was secretly thinking about it, someone outside came to report.

"Revisiting Liang Shicheng? Could it be that he wanted to donate his bicycle in exchange for Liang Shicheng's support? It's a pity that the bicycle is not snow candy, and the secret recipe can be kept secret, and the income of 20,000 yuan a year is difficult to impress Liang Shicheng. Tong Guan disagreed.

He knows very well that he, Liang Shicheng, Yang Jian and others, although their status in the eyes of the official family is slightly higher and lower, and they have also intrigued many times on weekdays to invite merit and favor, but they will not tear their faces easily.

Therefore, even if Liang Shicheng helps Zhou Quan, this hand will not be stretched too long, and it is impossible to help with all his might.

"Wait, it won't be long before there is news that the child is slipping home, maybe...... He will come to my house again and kneel outside my gates! ”

If Zhou Quan really kneels outside Tong Guan's gate and then offers an industry that is not inferior to Snow Sugar, then Tong Guan can consider letting him go.

At this time, in Liang Shicheng's mansion, Liang Shicheng's breathing was a little short, and his expression was very excited.

This feeling is very similar to when I first calculated the annual income of Snow Sugar.

"Really?" He looked at Zhou Quan who was standing in front of him.

"Whether it's true or not, Liang Gong only needs to call someone to ask! The price of Dongzhu, the price of leather goods, and the price of cattle and horses, not to mention other places, only the two capitals of the Daimyo Mansion to the Beijing Division, you can make money every day! ”

"But it's not easy to do such a businessman's business, right?" After a long time, Liang Shicheng calmed down and asked.

Zhou Quan smiled: "It's not easy for others to do, but if Liang Gong takes the lead, there is nothing bad to do." Xiaomin had nothing to do about this, but this time he sent an envoy to Liao, but he could give it a try, if he could do it, he would sell Liang Gong's snow candy to the north, and then exchange it from the north for Dongzhu, leather goods, ginseng, cattle and horses, and between changing hands, the income would increase several times, and there would be one or two transactions a year, which would be hundreds of thousands of profits! ”

Hundreds of thousands!

Liang Shicheng can be greedy and get money, but he is also generous in spending money, so he is always overstretched, coupled with the unique insecurity of eunuchs, so he has an insatiable desire for money.

"Are you sure?" After swallowing his saliva, Liang Shicheng asked again.

"I'm not completely sure, but this trip to Liaoguo, after I investigated, I was seventy or eighty percent sure!" Zhou Quan's words were very humble, but Master Liang clearly heard ten percent certainty from his tone.

If you think about it carefully, it is true, the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State opened a field, and the two sides made a lot of profits every year because of the field, if it can really be as Zhou Quan said, then he earns hundreds of thousands of yuan from the border trade between the two countries every year, what is the difficulty?

Among them, what Zhou Quan asked for was nothing more than the peace he came and went during the mission!

"What do you think you have to do?" Liang Shicheng asked again.

"If you want to do this, you have to get the greatest support, so please Liang Gong help me, write a letter first, and recommend me to He Xianggong!"

At this time, Zhang Shangying dismissed the prime minister, He Zhizhong was the sole minister, and he was the leader of the court, and although Zheng Juzhong thought that he was bound to be the prime minister, he was jealous of Zhao Ji because he was a relative of Zheng Guifei, so if Zhou Quan wanted to implement his plan, he must impress He Zhizhong.

But He Zhizhong's door was not so easy to enter, Zhou Quan just went to see him by himself, but he was afraid that the doorman would ignore it.

"This matter is easy to hear, I expect He Zhizhong to meet you." Liang Shicheng first agreed to this, and then his eyebrows moved: "How do you want to say what you want to do?" ”

"It's just an opportunity to act, after saying that after moving He Zhizhong, I will also bother Liang Gong, so that I can see the holy face, and then talk about moving the official family, it will be a big deal!" Zhou Quan said again.

Liang Shicheng represents the inner court, and He Zhizhong represents the outer court, and in the end, they must gather here with Zhao Ji and get Zhao Ji's permission to become the will of the imperial court.

Liang Shicheng was already confused by the prospect described by Zhou Quan, he got up and paced, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible!

If it can be done, then Liang Shicheng will have an extra income of hundreds of thousands of yuan per year, if not...... He has nothing to lose. He doesn't need to face Tong Guan head-on, all he has to do is help Zhou Quan write a few letters of recommendation.

Thinking of this, Liang Shicheng nodded suddenly, and his own little eunuch stepped forward and presented a pen and paper.

"If this can be done, Zhou Quan, your wealth is worry-free!" While waiting for the letter to dry, he knew the word.

Zhou Quan also smiled: "Supporting Liang Gongjiyan, if you have a little gain, you don't dare to forget the grace of Liang Gong!" ”

"I'll send someone again, use my name, and send you to Hefu by car." Liang Shicheng said again.

When the car sent by Liang Shicheng appeared in front of Zhou Quan, he was immediately happy: bicycle!

took this bicycle to He Zhizhong's mansion, and sure enough, the journey was smooth, and the steward of He Mansion did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and He Zhizhong, who was busy with political affairs, also took the time to see Zhou Quan after half an hour.

"Zhou Quan's name, the old man has heard it many times recently, and when I see it today, it is really a young hero, but I don't know, you came to the old man for your own business, or for the affairs of Liang Dujian?"

He Zhizhong asked very directly, Zhou Quan knew that if he couldn't impress him in a few words, he was afraid that this old fox who had been fighting with Cai Jing for many years would have to send him off.

"Xianggong has been in power for eight years since Chongning for three years, and I don't know how long he can be in power, and I don't know how long he can be in power, and when he teased Sun in the hall, Sun asked, Wang Jinggong has a law to protect the armor, Cai Xianggong has a nursing home, and Xianggong has been in government for many years, what achievements have he made, and how should Xianggong answer?"

Zhou Quan's response was more direct and rude than He Zhizhong's question, directly asking him how long he could work and what achievements he could be proud of when he retired. Hearing his words, He Zhizhong didn't react yet, but one of the doormen who sat with him was suddenly furious: "Shaft, Ande is so rude!" ”

The doorman pointed at Zhou Quan and scolded, but Zhou Quan only thought that he did not exist, but looked at He Zhizhong fixedly, waiting for He Zhizhong's response.

Although He Zhizhong is considered to be mediocre, Zhou Quan is sure that those who can deal with Cai Jing for many years, and in the case of changing people in the court, those who have stood for a long time must have their merits.

How can this kind of person be willing to be bland, ordinary things can't move them, but they will always care about one of the two after the power in their hands!

Sure enough, although He Zhizhong was slightly angry, he pressed the guest down.

"Son, why bother to use this to move people, what do you have to do, you should say it directly!"

"Xiaomin, please make a decision and set up a city in Xiongzhou!"

"Yucheng? Xiongzhou has its own field, what is the use of the city? Moreover, the northern kingdom is a country of enemies, and the exchange of profiteers will be harmful to the community, is it ...... Do you want to communicate with enemy countries? He Zhizhong sneered.

"There are five advantages to setting up a city, and the prince will listen to me one by one." Zhou Quan also smiled.

At this time, between Song Liao and Song Xia, there were many fields, specializing in trade between the two countries. However, the scope of operation of these farms is narrow and extremely inconvenient, so the main trade between the two countries is all kinds of smuggling.

The first of Zhou Quan's five reasons was that the imperial court could obtain a large amount of tax revenue from the trade of the court.

As a prime minister, the biggest headache is that there is never enough tax revenue. If the tax is sufficient, the officials will be given benefits during the New Year's holidays, and the Hanlin can also be reimbursed with public funds for drinking flower wine in the brothel restaurant, and each bachelor will be accompanied by a large ocean horse from the north...... Tsk, why is he still afraid that his phase is unstable, and the power in his hands will be taken away by others?

He is indeed not good at financial management, if he is good at financial management, he has the confidence to wrestle with Cai Jing!

The second benefit of setting up a city and fully opening up the mutual market, Zhou Quan said, "The government and the people are happy, and the scholars can also benefit from it." ”

The words were very tactful, but He Zhizhong understood the meaning of his words. The city was really opened, and the north-south trade was fully opened, and the biggest profits were those families with strong family resources, that is, the so-called scholars. In this way, He Zhizhong's position as the leader of Shilin will be more stable.

"As far as Xianggong is concerned, he can take advantage of this incident to wash away the shame of Chen Chaolao!" Zhou Quan said the third benefit.

This is He Zhizhong's great shame, when Cai Jing went to the prime minister, Zhao Ji worshiped He Zhizhong to succeed him, but the student Chen Chaolao directly wrote to the book, saying that he He Zhizhong was "a mosquito negative mountain", thinking that "the world will fall", and his contempt for He Zhizhong can be seen.

But He Zhizhong can't help this guy!

Not only can he help it, but in the face of this "incompetent" question, he doesn't even have the strength to refute, after all, He Zhizhong has existed in the shadow of Cai Jing for a long time, and he is really lackluster in political affairs.

Seeing He Zhizhong's moved appearance, Zhou Quan felt a little confident in his heart, and he cited the fourth benefit.
