Three, two, six, I'm really not a princess collector
Zhao Ji and the mud, Wang Hao was unwilling, but he also knew that at this time, Zhou Quan's role was much greater than that of Zhao Ji. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
An official like him can find out as much as he wants in the whole world, but Zhou Quan can make money for Zhao Ji like this, and the entire Great Song Dynasty is unique.
Even if the Great Song Dynasty has now risen the wind of chambers of commerce, on the streets near the Donghai Chamber of Commerce, there are more than ten chambers of commerce from all walks of life are building and building museums, and new chambers of commerce such as Bashu Chamber of Commerce, Chang'an Chamber of Commerce, and Liangzhejiang Chamber of Commerce have also appeared in Beijing.
The cotton textile industry has also spread rapidly from Jingdong and Lianghuai, and the five-year restriction period of the Cotton Chamber of Commerce is coming, Zhou Quan made it clear that he will no longer intervene in the market distribution of cotton cloth, but is willing to act as a textile machinery supplier. As a result, all parties are gearing up, and when the time comes, they will begin to regain market share.
After all, Zhou Quan can supply a limited number of textile machinery, some ingenious craftsmen can also manufacture the corresponding machinery by hand, in addition, the maintenance of machinery also needs craftsmen, therefore, all kinds of mechanical workshops have been all over the place. And this also made the citizen class of the Great Song Dynasty expand again, and the cities with more than 100,000 households rapidly expanded to more than 30, including Kaifeng and Hangzhou, with a population of more than 1 million, Chengdu, Shaoxing, and Jiangning, with a population of more than 300,000, and Luoyang, Daming, Xuzhou, Haizhou, Yangzhou, Zizhou, Xiangzhou, Xingyuanfu, etc., all of which are more than 150,000.
But Zhou Quan's position in this industrial revolution is still irreplaceable.
Therefore, Zhou Quan's every move is still concerned by the Quartet, and the two plays he rehearsed for Zhao Ji quickly became popular in the market.
All of a sudden, there is a stage in the Goolan tile in Beijing, and a second- or third-rate painter is invited to paint a few curtains, and then find a few plays, and then you can perform. Of course, the premieres are all Zhou Quan's two plays, in fact, Zhou Quan has a third part, Wang Huang's version of Jin Moumei, but it seems that it is not needed.
Wang Hao took leave and didn't dare to see anyone, for more than half a month, when he came out again, he knew that Zhou Quan had left Beijing.
Without Wang Hao's words, Zhao Ji had no intention of leaving Zhou Quan in Beijing, after all, if he really wanted to conquer Japan, he still needed Zhou Quan to mobilize the power of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce to do preliminary preparations.
As for others, who has seen Wang Hao's fate, who is willing to embarrass Zhou Quan in such trivial matters, does he also want to lose his reputation?
And Zhou Quan had a good reason for this trip: to send Duan Heyu, the main minister of Dali, and the envoys of Zhenla to return to China.
Duan Heyu was in his thirties at this time, he rode on a horse, reluctantly glanced back at Bianjing, and then turned his face to look at Zhou Quan.
"Zhou Gong is really young and promising......"
This is the fifth time he has praised Zhou Quan along the way, and he can be said to be full of jealousy towards Zhao Ji in his heart. From what he saw with his own eyes, this seemingly prosperous and meritorious Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is actually a very ridiculous person, but he is such an absurd emperor, but there is a capable minister like Zhou Quan under his hands!
If he has a Zhou Quan in his hand, Dali can also be subdued by the Quartet, and all countries will pay tribute!
As for the issue of the ministers that Zhao Ji is worried about, as far as Duan Heyu is concerned, it is not a problem at all, and their Dali Kingdom is now controlled by the Gao clan! Last year, he died of illness and Gao Taiming, and then his brother Gao Taiyun became the prime minister of Dali, two-thirds of the power of Dali is in the hands of the Gao family, and he is only a third of the true son of heaven.
"Lord Duan...... Do you know a yang finger? Zhou Quan was a little annoyed by this guy's staring, and opened his mouth to ask.
"One Yang Finger, what is that?"
"What about the Six-Vein Divine Sword?"
"What's that?"
Duan Heyu's face was dazed, but Zhou Quan smiled and said nothing, Duan Heyu thought about it in his heart, and suddenly realized.
This is asking him for a bribe!
Asking him something in a good way, isn't this just asking for a bribe? Between Duan and Yu's thoughts, there were some doubts: Zhou Quan was rich and rivaled the country, and there were countless treasures at home, and the ingenuity of his mind was unparalleled in the world, such as glass lamps, bicycles, table clocks and other things, all of which were invented by him. Therefore, the bribe he asked for was by no means a property, perhaps a specialty of Dali, or a ......
Duan Heyu suddenly thought of something, he had been in Bianjing for a long time, and knew that there was a novelty in Bianjing now, facing the people's mansion. In addition to the most popular Donghai Business Daily, there are more than 20 kinds of newspapers and periodicals, most of which are tabloids with a circulation of only a few thousand copies.
In order to survive and make profits, these tabloids often track down some innocuous lace news, because of the nickname of "Living God of Wealth", Zhou Quan's every move is concerned, and there are tabloids that turn out some of his things.
Say, for example, the Princess Collector.
It is reported that Zhou Quan has collected the princess of Liao and the princess of Goryeo, if Xia Guo had not been driven to the west of the desert, he would have been going to send a princess with him, could it be ...... He didn't succeed in the princess of Xia Kingdom, so he made up his own mind and wanted to find a princess in Dali?
Thinking of this, Duan Heyu not only did not get angry, but became excited.
The Duan family is the royal family of Dali, there is nothing else, there are many clans, he Duan Heyu himself has a daughter, although he is still young, but ...... There is still no problem with Xu ration to Zhou Quan!
Thinking of this, Duan Heyu coughed lightly: "Zhou Zhizhi is young and promising, beautiful, and loves it at first sight." Heard that the princess of the Zhou system is set up? There is a lonely daughter, who is born to the queen and is fourteen years old, although she is a princess of a small country, but she is also a beautiful country, and she wishes to make a ...... What about the system? ”
Zhou Quan was stunned!
Then he couldn't cry or laugh, obviously, it was his "princess collector" aura that worked again, making Duan Heyu actually want to sell his daughter to him!
He didn't know that Duan Heyu was like this, not only as a last resort, but also for his daughter's future happiness.
Zhou Quan has a deep affection for Yu Liyan, and even did not hesitate to start a war with the Jin State for it, and Duan Heyu has also heard about it. Their Duan clan is nominally the king of Dali, but in fact, the minister Gao is really in charge of Dali, and his position as the monarch can be said to be precarious!
Even if he succeeded to the throne, he made great efforts, but natural and man-made disasters still continued, there was a major earthquake in the first year of Zhenghe, and the aftershocks lasted for more than a month, and the Gao family levied heavy taxes, which aroused the rebellion of various ministries. Now it is taking advantage of the civil strife in the Gao clan after the death of the powerful minister Gao Taiming, he can be regarded as a little relieved and has the opportunity to come to the Song Kingdom to find support.
It's just that Song Jun's goal is always focused on Liao, even if he is now passing through Japan, he is also preparing for the invasion of Liao, and all he can give him is verbal support.
If you really want to hug Da Song's thighs, you can only rely on the young man in front of you.
With Zhou Quan's age, as long as there are no major problems, he will be active in the political arena of the Great Song Dynasty for several more decades, if he can hold this thigh tightly, don't say that he has a backer for his children and grandchildren!
Even from the perspective of his daughter's happiness, following Zhou Quan and enjoying decades of wealth is better than staying in Dali, maybe one day someone from the Gao family will take a fancy to him and force him to be his wife!
"Lord Duan...... This matter is just a joke in the next place, Hugh has to mention it again, Hugh has to mention it again......" Zhou Quan smiled bitterly twice, and then complained: "The prince doesn't know where he heard the news, and he is not interested in the princesses of various countries. ”
That is, he will say this directly, Duan Heyu heard this, only because he was young and thin-skinned, and he clearly had a heart, but he was embarrassed to be directly exposed by himself.
He himself secretly regretted the fierce waves in his heart, because he was anxious in his heart, he disregarded etiquette so much, originally according to the habit of the Song people, he should have invited the matchmaker first.
Therefore, he smiled: "My ancestor of the Duan family, although he is a Han Chinese, has lived in Dali for a long time, and he is already the same as the custom. Contempt for the national customs is like this, the two are happy, you can get married, although the lonely is presumptuous, but it is a sincere heart, don't blame the Zhou system. ”
Zhou Quan laughed dryly, wanting to say that he was not strange, but he was afraid that this guy would think about it more, so he was silent at the moment.
He was secretly annoyed in his heart, and he didn't know who put on the impression of being a princess collector.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but whisper to Dong Changqing beside him: "Mr. Rubai, who do you say is spreading rumors that I am a princess collector?" ”
Dong Changqing was stunned, then his eyes widened, and he looked at him without speaking.
Zhou Quan's heart sank: "What, Mr. Dong knows who did it?" ”
"Of course you know!" A smile appeared on Dong Changqing's face, it was rare to see Zhou Quan so embarrassed.
"Who?" Zhou Quan raised his eyebrows, and he had to settle accounts with this rumor-monger.
"Far away in the sky, close in front of you, isn't it Ming Gong himself?" Dong Changqing said.
Zhou Quan was stunned for a moment: "How can it be me?" ”
At the beginning, Ming Gong compiled the anecdotes of Bao Xiaosu and compiled a lot of commentaries, and now Ming Gong has also created a drama, which has made Wang Jiangming famous. Ming Gong, others are learning the same, and naturally they will learn to make up the story of Ming Gong! ”
Dong Changqing's reminder made Zhou Quan suddenly realize, and then he couldn't cry or laugh.
His title of "Princess Collector" was so earned!
The culture of the citizens of the Great Song Dynasty was originally quite prosperous, and since he promoted it, the number of citizens of the Great Song Dynasty has not only doubled! The more people there are, the more entertainment they need, he can compile commentaries and dramas, and weave Bao Zheng and Wang Hao into the story, so others can't make him up!
The initiator is himself!
Dong Changqing also thought it was funny, but he smiled a little restrained. Duan Heyu next to him didn't hear what the two said, but he was thinking about his own thoughts, in his opinion, Zhou Quan's refusal was just a hypocrisy of the Song people, Zhou Quan could take his words as a joke, but he couldn't.
After going back, I have to persuade Queen Wang to send my daughter to Zhou Quan!
Zhou Quan didn't know that Duan Heyu had already made up his mind, and he was talking and laughing with Dong Changqing, when suddenly the corner of his eye flashed, and he saw someone quickly moving towards them.
Before the person approached, Li Bao and Wu Yang beside Zhou Quan had already pounced on the left and right, directly knocking the person down.
The man ate a mouthful of mud, but he still struggled on the ground, and kept waving his hand: "Master Zhou, it's me, it's me, I brought you ghost slaves, a large number of ghost slaves!" (To be continued.) )
