Three, six, eight, rare opportunity
If a beautiful woman says she is willing to do anything for you, then there is no need to think about the meaning of seduction. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
If a man says he is willing to do anything for you, nine times out of ten, he is lying.
If a politician who has left a very insidious mark on history, even if he is only a 12-year-old boy now, still says such a thing, then you have to think twice.
"Shhh
When he met Zhao Gou's gaze, Zhou Quan took a slight breath.
He has experienced a lot of things, and he is not what he was when he first arrived in the Great Song Dynasty, but when he saw the deep ambition in Zhao Gou's eyes, he couldn't help but be surprised.
This kid...... I'm only twelve years old, what were I doing when I was twelve?
Zhao Ji himself is not good, but the sons he gave birth to are all precocious.
In Zhao Gou's words, there was a faint hint of meaning, but he didn't say it clearly, it was completely for Zhou Quan to guess for himself.
As long as Zhou Quan needs something, he is willing to do anything!
Include...... Be a puppet emperor!
Of course, this is just verbal talk, if Zhao Gozhen becomes the emperor, where will he be willing to be only a puppet, he must want real power.
But Zhao Gou didn't explicitly say that he wanted to be the emperor, so he just let Zhou Quan guess for himself.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Quan decided that he might as well pretend to be stupid. Although he is very willing that there will be some problems within the Zhao family, but now, the time has not come.
"If you get the help of the nine kings, everything will naturally be done...... When I think of a new way to make money, I will inevitably invite the nine kings together! ”
Zhao Gou's expression became smiling again, as if the ambition he revealed just now was completely Zhou Quan's own blind guessing: "Actually, I already have an idea, that is, the railway!" ”
"Oh?"
"Lingzun Zhou Shilang is the Changping envoy of Jingxi Road in Beijing, and he is building a railway from Xuzhou to Tokyo, if this is really the case, the volume of the canal can be nearly doubled, and the country and the people will not dare to fall behind!"
This guy read geography books along the way, and experienced the railway in Xuzhou, and immediately understood the significance of the railway to the Great Song Dynasty. Whether it is military, political or economic, a railway from the political center of Kaifeng to Xuzhou, the center of heavy industry, is of great significance.
Moreover, he was sure to persuade his father Zhao Ji to fully support this railway, even if it was delayed for a year or two to fight against Liao.
Because of this, if you want to build a railway to Luoyang, Xijing, the most elite Western army of the Great Song Dynasty can be transferred from Guanxi to Xuzhou in a very short time.
After all, Zhao Gou was limited to his vision and knowledge, and he didn't know that at this time, the most elite Western army in the Great Song Dynasty actually had limited combat effectiveness. Bullying and bullying the weakened Xia Guo in their hometown is okay, as long as they leave the lair, both military discipline and combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened.
Of course, he never thought that the railway was conducive to the Western Army going to Xuzhou, but it was also conducive to the transfer of military strength from Xuzhou to Beijing.
Maybe he also thought about it, but he was extremely confident in Da Song, and the benefits that this railway brought to him personally were enough for him to take any risk.
Originally, Zhou Quan had a plan to build a railway to Jingshi, but after being suspicious of Zhao Ji, this plan was shelved indefinitely, after all, without the support of the Great Song Dynasty, this railway was completely hopeless.
Zhao Gou jumped out by himself, which is interesting.
"If the Nine Kings can really accomplish this, then they can consider investing in the construction of a Beijing-Xuzhou railway...... I will let people estimate the cost first, and the nine kings must be mentally prepared, and the cost of this railway will never be low. ”
That's natural, although manpower is cheap at this time, but because there is no automatic machinery, all the projects almost all have to rely on manpower to pile up, even if Zhou Quan set up a construction team of nearly 20,000 laborers in Xuzhou, if you really want to repair it, I don't know how much it will cost.
Don't say hundreds of thousands, I'm afraid that even a few million dollars may not be able to complete the entire project, tens of millions of dollars have to be taken out, even if it is built in five to six years, Zhou Quan will feel difficult.
"Therefore, if you really want to build this road, I can't do it personally......"
"Road bonds, road bonds." Zhao Gou said, his eyes shining.
Zhou Quan was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but laugh.
In fact, he first proposed the bond, which was originally to issue war bonds, in preparation for planning to attack Japan and open the door to Japan.
However, because of the impatience of the Jin, Liao, and Goryeo people, Japan is now in a difficult situation, and the Donghai Chamber of Commerce, with its naval superiority, is enough to determine the direction of Japan's situation, so the war bonds that were originally planned to be issued on a large scale can only be shelved.
Zhou Quan thought of a new place for this bond, but he didn't expect that he hadn't proposed it yet, and Zhao Gou mentioned here that he wanted to use bonds to build a railway.
Do you really think that bonds are such a fun thing, if you accidentally get rid of them, especially railway bonds, it may cause a rebellion to destroy the country!
However, Zhou Quan didn't want to remind Zhao Gou.
"What the Nine Kings said is, why didn't I think of this, if I can really raise funds by issuing railway bonds, this matter is easy to hear, and I can promote this matter after a year of preparation at most, and it ......"
Zhou Quan said this, hesitated slightly, and finally swallowed it back. Bonds, one step further, can become a high-interest fundraising trick, really put forward such a method, the biggest loss is the common people.
He didn't notice that Zhao Gou's eyes were already flashing with a yellow luster.
"The matter of bonds was still proposed back then, and I have gained, but it is just a matter of picking up the system and setting up the wisdom, and I can't do it." Zhao Gou concealed the greed in his eyes and fixed his mind: "Since the system also has this intention, after returning to Beijing, I will promote this matter...... Now it's better to do the things assigned by my father first. ”
Zhao Ji was reluctant this time, and in addition to giving Zhou Quan the title of Marquis of Donghae County, in addition, he allowed Jeju to be a private town, that is, to admit that Zhou Quan actually owned Jeju Island.
Moreover, he also rewarded Zhou Quan with a lot of money and silk, these things are not worth a few dollars, the key is to show that he attaches importance to Zhou Quan.
In addition, Zhou's mother also has a fate, and even the little lady of the teacher has received many rewards.
These are all vain heads, and the meaning of appeasement is obvious, what surprised Zhou Quan a little was that in the edict, it was specifically mentioned that if Yanyun could be recovered, he would not hesitate to reward the king of the founding county.
To put it bluntly, it is to draw a cake, as long as Zhou Quan continues to work for the Great Song Dynasty, and after recovering Yanyun, he will be given a title such as the king of Jeju County.
In Zhao Ji's view, this is his own grace, but what is the meaning to Zhou Quan?
Jeju was designed by him to win it himself, where does he need others to reward him, and there is only one Jeju county king, where can he compare to the king of the East China Sea?
Therefore, Zhou Quan didn't have much other reaction to this except for laughing at Zhao Ji's small device.
He didn't react gratefully, and when he saw Zhao Gou's eyes, Zhao Gou not only didn't care, but faintly felt a little relaxed.
The more dissatisfied Zhou Quan is, the more likely it is that the secret desire in his heart will be realized.
After a lengthy ceremony, it was finally over, and Zhao Gou pretended to be inadvertent, and smiled at Zhou Quan: "My father originally wanted to give a big reward, and with the merit of the county marquis, it is enough to be crowned the king of the county now." But because of the old system of the ancestors, it is not too good, and please set it up for a while - in fact, in the meaning of the little king, this ancestral system, when it changes, it should also change. ”
"What the nine kings said is, but the minister has the lord of the county marquis, and he is already satisfied, after all, the minister is not very old, and there is time to win greater credit." Zhou Quan also responded with a smile.
Both of them know that the other party is by no means a fool, and there is a deep meaning hidden in each other's words, but both of them have some scruples and can't pick out what to say.
With Zhou Quan's temperament, talking like this made him feel very tired, but Zhao Gou was happy to do it. Seeing that he still had the heart to say, Zhou Quan diverged: "The Nine Kings came to Haizhou, and the salt field is to go to see, and now the salt fields of Haizhou produce so much salt and the beauty of salt quality. At the time of the original covenant between the two countries, the minister proposed to allow the free circulation of salt between the two countries, and some people scolded the minister for misleading the country, but now no one scolds him. ”
"Why should the Marquis of the East China Sea see it with the mediocre villain, what they have seen, but in ten days, what the Marquis of the East China Sea has seen is a hundred-year plan!" Zhao Gou threw another compliment that didn't want money.
He also knew what Zhou Quan meant, so he didn't mention anything serious.
Although this guy is young, he is not only ambitious, but also able to calm down, and the city is very deep, which makes Zhou Quan faintly feel a trace of jealousy in his heart.
There are not many people who can make Zhou Quan jealous, Yelu Dashi of Liao State is counted as one, and Wushu of Jin State dares to run to Jeju Island privately at the age of young chong, and later learned of this, Zhou Quan counted him as one. In the Song Kingdom, Cai Jing is a person that Zhou Quan is very afraid of, this old traitor looks at three steps at a time, if he is not tied up with huge benefits, Zhou Quan suspects that he will be his great enemy. Qin Hui is still just average, although Zhou Quan is wary of him in his heart, he is not afraid. But this Zhao Gou made Zhou Quan feel jealous, in fact, until now, Zhao Gou has not shown any edge.
Zhao Gou did not object to Zhou Quan's arrangement, he rested for a day that day, and began to visit Haizhou with great interest the next day.
From the salt pan to the shipyard, as well as the watch workshop in Haizhou, Zhao Gou walked over one by one, looked carefully, and asked questions carefully. In particular, some issues that the scholars and bureaucrats did not bother to pay attention to, not only did he pay attention to, but this kid had a keen eye, and some of the questions he asked were often straight to the point.
Zhou Quan dealt with him for two days, this kid also calmed down, never mentioned his true purpose, and on the third day, Zhou Quan used the excuse that there was a military situation from Japan, and he was going to go to Japan at sea, at this time Zhao Gou showed a trace of anxiety.
It is not easy for him to leave the palace, if he can't reach an alliance with Zhou Quan, at least there is no tacit understanding, and if he wants to find this kind of opportunity, it will be difficult! (To be continued.) )
