110,

When the prime minister goes out of the city, all the people crowd the streets, this kind of treatment, Zhou Quan has never encountered it.

Even Zheng Yunzhong and Deputy Envoy Tong Guan were also flattered at this time.

However, Zhou Quan was happiest to see his family and the teenagers in Chezhuang. Therefore, after discovering them, Zhou Quan ignored so many etiquettes, and left the envoy team directly and came to them.

Look at this, pat that, and greet all the teenagers affectionately, fortunately, Zhou Quan still remembers the appearance of these teenagers very clearly, and he didn't recognize the wrong person because of face blindness.

After that, he came to his parents and paid a big respect.

"My son suffered, and the official family was very ruthless, my son was just a teenager, so he was sent to the north, it was ice and snow! Good boy, are you freezing, are you hungry......"

Holding Zhou Quan, Zhou's mother chattered, touched and touched his face, and said that he had lost weight. Zhou Fu next to him couldn't stand it, and scolded him twice, Zhou's mother was immediately annoyed, and scolded him instead.

However, in front of these many people, even if Zhou's mother scolded Zhou Fu, she saved him face, and did not say that he relied on his pit son to get an official position.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of Zhou's father and Zhou's mother arguing, Zhou Quan squeezed his eyes at Shishi, and whispered in her ear: "Shishi, I brought you a gift, and I will show it to you when I go back." ”

"My brother is back, it's the best gift for slaves!" Shi Shi smiled sweetly.

Finally, it was Zhou Fu's turn to talk to his son, he was holding back his words, but when he saw his son who was one inch taller, and the frosty color on his originally immature face, all the words turned into a sentence of "hard work".

The father and son just shook their arms, and there was no other communication. At this time, Lao Min, Cui Dakai and others also stepped forward to salute Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan treated them very affectionately, and there was no contempt or alienation at all, Lao Min was down, Cui Dakai saw this situation, and his heart first let go of most of it.

Just when they were giggling, they suddenly heard a clear cough, and Zhou Fu looked back and found that Prime Minister He Zhizhong was appearing beside them.

Zhou Fu was taken aback, and instinctively jumped out of awe of civil officials, especially Zai Zhi, and asked him to hurriedly rush forward and salute: "The lower official greets the prime minister!" ”

"No need to be polite, Zhou Lushi, congratulations on having this Lin'er...... Hahahaha. He Zhizhong said with a smile.

He smiled very kindly, which made Zhou Fu feel like a spring breeze, and Zhou Fu said a few words of humility, but He Zhizhong followed up with a few more praises, only to praise Zhou Fu and smile.

Zhou Quan next to him felt that his cold hair stood up, and goosebumps appeared all over his body.

In the position of prime minister, giving Zhou Fu a smile is already a big face, and now he has a few words with him, full of praise for Zhou Quan...... If it had been before, Zhou Quan would not have been so vigilant, but with the trip to Liao, especially the personal experience of the civil strife in Liao, and Yelu Yu Liyan's reminder, Zhou Quan's vigilance has been cultivated.

He Zhizhong looks like this, there must be a problem behind it!

After saying a few words to Zhou Fu, He Zhizhong quietly led the topic to Zhou Quan: "Zhou Quan, you are now famous in a foreign country and have made such great contributions, you are really a hero...... Congratulations, congratulations! ”

Zhou Quan bent down and saluted: "I don't dare to be praised by the prime minister, I can succeed by luck, I rely on the foresight of the officials, and I rely on the ministers and others to strategize in the DPRK and China......"

The two sides praised each other, it seemed that He Zhizhong was very happy, he even walked side by side with Zhou Quan, until he came to his carriage, and when he was about to board the car, he also took Zhou Quan's hand and said slowly: "Zhou Quan, this success, exceptional promotion is indispensable...... I can give you a thorough explanation, seven pins. ”

Zhou Quan's current position is only from the ninth grade, if it is promoted to the seventh grade, even if it is from the seventh grade, it is also a few steps in a row, and if he is replaced by others, I am afraid that it will take several years of hard work, and he must be full of luck, and someone in the court will help him to be promoted.

But Zhou Quanzhi is not here.

Seeing that Zhou Quan didn't have much joy, He Zhizhong smiled: "I also know that this alone is not enough to reward you for your work, but many things have to be done slowly, you don't have to worry, I remember that you are only sixteen years old now...... When I was sixteen, I was still studying! ”

Speaking of this, He Zhizhong stepped into the carriage, but just before the carriage was about to go, he signaled the coachman to stop the carriage, stretched out his head and said to Zhou Quan: "If I were you, in the next few years, I would concentrate on enrolling in school and choose the opportunity to participate in the imperial examination - there are few people in my Great Song Dynasty who have entered the political hall without the imperial examination." ”

After finishing speaking, the carriage moved forward, leaving Zhou Quan, who was a little inexplicable.

What does Zhizhong mean that Zhou Quan can enter the political hall in the future and become a member of the ruling committee? Is this a compliment, or an expectation, especially to let Zhou Quan study and participate in the imperial examination, what is the plan?

Before Zhou Quan could figure it out, an official in charge of etiquette came to urge, and the greeting outside the city was just the beginning, and the entire lengthy ceremony had to pass through the Taimiao, the Imperial City, and finally end at Yanfu Palace.

So Zhou Quan and the others returned to the capital in the morning, but it was not until the evening that the whole ceremony was completed, and Zhao Ji also gave a banquet in Yanfu Palace, so that they, the main personnel of the mission, watched some palace music and dance.

The next day, the reward came out, and Zhou Quan was relieved of the temporary dispatch of the affairs of the city, and the official of Jilu became Xuandelang, but there was no ministry or dispatch.

In addition, it is to give gold and silk, but the gold silk is worth less than five hundred yuan, and Zhou Quan only pouted at this.

Putting these things aside from the court, he began to focus on the changes that had occurred since his departure.

First of all, he was most concerned about the Chezhuang boy, who greeted him outside the capital that day was thirty-one people, all of whom were the first batch of recruits in Beijing, headed by Sun Cheng, Wang Qinian, and Li Bao. Before he left, he prepared his homework for these people, and the day after he returned, he spent most of the day evaluating them.

In terms of array discipline, with the help of Du Gou'er and other uncles from the forbidden army, they have done a good job, and they can basically reach the point of forming rows, although there is still a little distance from Zhou Quan's expectations, but it can be regarded as passing.

In terms of literacy, this part is the responsibility of the little lady, the little girl regards Li Bao as an assistant, although Li Bao himself is one of the least literate of all, but he will use a big fist to beat those young people who are not loved. Therefore, a few of the young people can read more than 300 words, and many of them are like Sun Cheng and Wang Qinian, and ordinary letters can be read through.

Next up is the math...... This is the content that Zhou Quan attaches the most importance to but is also the saddest, thirty-one teenagers, the best can recite the ninety-nine multiplication formula, the worst ...... Well, Li Bao was gloriously at the bottom again, he could only calculate the addition and subtraction within four digits, and this was because he needed to use it to learn when he received monthly money every month.

Overall, these teenagers can't perform very well, which may be related to the fact that they are from a well-off background and are generally more slippery.

It was the people brought by Zhou Dong from the Western Army that made Zhou Quan's eyes shine.

Before the end of the first year of Zhenghe, Zhou Tong brought a group of teenagers from the Western Army, the number was not much, only sixty people, two of them died of illness because they were impatient to travel, and six people fled halfway and did not know where to go, so only 52 people really arrived in Beijing and entered Chezhuang.

These people are obviously hard-working than the first batch, although they have not seen Zhou Quan yet, but according to the plan left by Zhou Quan, the progress in all aspects has almost caught up with the first batch of teenagers.

For example, arithmetic, in the first batch of teenagers, that is, Sun Cheng can memorize the ninety-nine multiplication table, but in the second batch, there are already four people who can memorize the ninety-nine multiplication table!

This made Zhou Quan very pleased, and at the same time, he was even more determined to find talents from the poorest environment.

If Zhou Quan is only barely satisfied with people, then Zhou Quan is very satisfied with making money.

Bicycles are extremely popular, and although there are imitations on the market today, the craftsmanship is rough and far less efficient than his precision, and the slow production speed makes it extremely costly, and it is impossible to compete with him.

Up to now, his orders have been scheduled until the end of the year, and the rate of building 150 vehicles per month is still in short supply!

However, this is also the limit of the depot, and now there are 21 blacksmith shops, 25 carpenter shops, 8 leathermas, and the rest such as lacquer craftsmen who are supporting the depot and providing parts according to the same standards, and the number of people directly and indirectly engaged in this industry has reached three or four hundred. If you want to expand your production capacity, it's not the depots that need to be changed, it's the suppliers.

The ceremonial guard in charge of Du Gou'er can be said to be non-stop every day, often going to this house to pick up the bride, and without even drinking saliva, he has to go to another house.

In just five months, the car park and ceremonial ceremonial guards have accumulated more than 9,000 wealth for Zhou Quan, which is pure profit.

Of course, it is far from being as good as snow sugar, Zhou Quan heard Kuai Yu say that snow sugar has now completely squeezed out of the Jingshi market, and is exported to Jiangnan and Shu, Liang Shicheng is happy every day, and conservatively estimates that the money he earns in one day is worth the money Zhou Quan earns in one hundred days!

"More money isn't necessarily a good thing." Zhou Quan heard the envy in Kuai's tone, and he laughed.

He believes that Liang Shicheng is so happy now, and soon this guy will not be happy. The business of the daily progress, he Liang Shicheng wants to do it, so does Tong Guan want to do it, does Cai Jing want it, and more importantly, does Zhao Ji, the official of the Great Song Dynasty, want to do it?

Zhao Ji wants to conquer the western thieves again, and he wants to build a garden, and he wants to come to stumble on the Liao State, there are places to spend money everywhere, and the benefits of increasing every day are enough for the emperor to tear his face and seize this inheritance from his favorite ministers.

Sure enough, after Zhou Quan came back, he had only been resting in the car village for four days, and someone asked to see him.

The person who came was Qin Zi, because of Qin Hui's relationship, Zhou Quan was actually reluctant to see him, but the last time Zhou's father went to Wutai Prison, Zhou Quan owed the other party a favor, and it was not easy to see him.

How do you know that as soon as Qin Zi saw Zhou Quan, he split his head with a sentence: "Zhou Xiaolang, you are about to come to a catastrophe!" ”
