Chapter 320: Vacancies (Part II) (Fourth Update)
- "Yes." Zhao Zongyou replied and asked, "Also, what about disarmament?" ”
"It's a terrible thing!" Zhao Yun said angrily: "Zhao Zhen didn't have a good heart......
"He's trying to coax us into doing all the things that offend people." Zhao Zongyou said sarcastically: "So as to clear the way for his 'son'." ”
"It's human nature." Zhao Zongshi looked open and said: "Let's talk about it, what should I do?" ”
"It's really not easy to do, blindly being a good person makes the officials angry." Zhao Zongyou said: "But if you have done too much fire, it makes people hate." ”
"But you can't hide anymore." Zhao Zongshi said softly: "Last year, the official family asked me to clean up the treasury, and I hid under the pretext of illness, and this year there is no reason to get sick again." ”
"Not bad." Zhao Yunrang nodded and said: "But you don't need to worry, he has a good plan, I have a bridge and ladder, Han Xianggong is protecting you, what are you afraid of?" As he spoke, there was a knock on the door, and he called 'Father'.
Zhao Yunrang said, "Come in." Zhao Zongfu walked in lightly, he was a short man, with a pair of bright eyes, and reported softly: "A letter from Xifu said that the thirteenth brother should go to rectify the forbidden army on Hebei East Road, and the ninth brother should rectify Hebei West Road." ”
"Ah......" When the two of them landed, Mao was blown up, and the two roads in Hebei are now called Hebei Road, which is where the Song-Liao border is located, and they also shoulder the responsibility of partially defending Western Xia, and there are nearly 300,000 forbidden troops stationed in the camp, which is daunting to think about.
"Well......" Zhao Yunrang nodded slowly: "What about the other three." ”
"Zhao Zongge goes to Yongxing Military Road." Zhao Zongfu said: "Zhao Conggu and Zhao Zongji, jointly investigate the forbidden army in Beijing. ”
"What's the point?" Zhao Zongyou couldn't help but ask.
"Han Xianggong said that we will definitely have questions, so let me come back with a few words." Zhao Zongfu said with a smile: "He said that the rectification of the forbidden army on Hebei Road seems to be difficult and easy. One. The forbidden army here. There are relatively few things to do with the Jingshi generals, and there is relatively little resistance to the inventory; Of the two, the army here is the most corrupt, and the officers are busy eating empty salaries. The soldiers were busy with business, and the shortfall was definitely more than thirty percent. If there is a large shortage, there is room for compression. Easy to get results. The three, now under the blackmail of the Liao State, Hebei Road has become the focus of attention, and the two princes have done a good job, benefiting the country and the people, and their reputation is naturally good. ”
"......I see," Zhao Yunrang sighed and said: "It seems that Han Xianggong is not blindly protective of you, but still hopes that you can succeed." As he spoke, he looked at the two of them with deep eyes and said, "The words are all here, and I can't make a appearance." Don't come back to see me! ”
"Yes." The two responded, but Zhao Zongshi was a little worried: "How much is appropriate?" ”
"If there is a shortage of more than 30 percent, cut 10 percent. That's more than 20,000 people. Zhao Yun said: "It is enough to impress the people of the world." After a pause, he said, "Say it again." Han Xianggong will inevitably send a few subordinate officers who are familiar with military affairs and have become experienced and skilled to follow you, and listen to them more when the time comes. Nothing to worry about. ”
"Yes." Zhao Zongshi relieved his heart at this time.
"Go," the strength of the ginseng soup had been exhausted, and Zhao Yunrang felt tired, waved his hand and said, "I'm tired." ”
"......" Zhao Zongfu originally wanted to say something, so he had to shut up and quit.
"Fourth brother, what do you want to say?" Outside, Zhao Zongyou asked.
"Alas," Zhao Zongfu said gloomily: "It's a trivial matter, I don't want my father to worry about it, but it's unusual." ”
"Say." Zhao Zongshi frowned slightly.
"Our family's business has been losing money for several months." Zhao Zongshi smiled bitterly: "Those pawnshops, silver buildings, leather shops, cloth shops, tea farms...... These most profitable businesses are all in trouble. After a pause, he said with a puzzled face: "Even the gold mine has collapsed, don't think about another harvest in a year or two." ”
It is said that three years ago, the underground vault of the palace was cleaned, which made the palace people who were used to spending a lot of money and have so many personal relationships to take care of, and it was very uncomfortable all of a sudden. I had no choice but to learn from other princes and nobles to start a business.
With the strong connections and influence of the county king's mansion, they sent out to the family, and it was too easy to do big business...... Local officials, whether they are wealthy businessmen, really hope to be able to connect with future officials, or at least not to offend them. In just over two years, twenty or thirty businesses were opened in the capital, in the Daimyo's Mansion, and in Jiangning, and a mine was also opened in the Huainan Mountains.
At present, just after completing the preliminary investment, waiting for the money to roll in, who knows that suddenly encountered all kinds of problems, some lawsuits, some backlogs, some dead, some on fire...... Not only did he no longer make money, but he had to post money outside the capital.
The palace still owes 400,000 yuan in foreign debts! Although people see it for Zhao Zongshi's sake, they never come to the door to ask for it. But if the loss continues like this, the creditors can only ignore their heads and come to collect debts!
"It's not that piece of material, it's still learning to do business." When Zhao Zongyou heard this, he said angrily: "I don't want dividends either, you give me back my 30,000 yuan." ”
"I'm looking for you to find a way, but you're thinking about breaking up!" Zhao Zongfu was angry: "Who am I doing business for?" ”
"Alright, alright." Zhao Zongshi stopped the two and said, "What does the fourth brother need us to do?" ”
"I wonder if someone is dealing with us." Zhao Zongfu said in his heart, 'This is still like a human saying': "Looking at the Great Song Dynasty, there are not many people who have this ability and this courage." There is only one family that has had a holiday with us, and there is no other semicolon. ”
"You mean, Chen Zhongfang?" Zhao Zongshi's eyes froze.
"Well, there's no one else but him." Zhao Zongfu said: "I guess he found out what happened to Tianyin Water Pavilion." He couldn't go to Liao to trouble Xiao Tianyi, so he attacked us. ”
"Xiao Tianyi," Zhao Zongshi frowned, "I know too many things, and keeping him will be a scourge sooner or later." ”
"Well, I have a chance to be him." Zhao Zongfu said: "But what should I do here?" ”
"Shut up the business." Zhao Zongshi's head was big when he thought of Chen Ke, it was the demon star he hit, so it was better to hide first. Then he said softly: "Don't forget my father's teaching, as long as we win that game, we will win the whole game." At this time, don't make extraneous branches......" After speaking, he patted his fourth brother's arm and walked away with Zhao Zongyou.
Behind him, Zhao Zongfu's face turned purple, this thirteen is really too selfish! Thinking only about yourself, other people's affairs, is not a hassle at all!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Early the next morning, Chen Ke took Chen Chen to Su's house.
When I arrived, I found that Su Xun went out early in the morning, and only his peers were there.
The two were overjoyed, so they followed the maid to find the Su family brothers and sisters. As soon as you enter the garden, you will listen to the elegant singing voice, which comes leisurely from the pavilion by the pond, which is euphemistic and beautiful, and it is intoxicating.
"It's the voice of the little sister." Erlang whispered, and the two slowed down, listening to her sing as they walked:
'Love is like a chain, hatred is like flowing water, and even rest is a moment. There is no need to be surprised, Shen Lang is easy to lose weight, and there is no need to be surprised, Pan Sideburns is worried.
It's always hard to help, many tribulations, and good things teach people not to be free. Empty remembrance, thinking about the joy of the past, and the future will be leisurely......'
After a song, I heard Su Shi praise: "Little sister sings my words, count this one!" It's not in vain that I tailor-made this "Qinyuan Spring" for you. ”
"Stinky second brother, you're making fun of me again!" I listened to the little sister who didn't follow the way.
"But this song," I heard Shi Shi laugh again: "Little sister doesn't have to sing in the future, your Shen Lang is already here," paused, and giggled: "Eighth sister, your pan sideburns have also arrived." Where she was sitting, she could just see the Chen brothers coming.
"Sister-in-law, you're also necrotic." The little sister held her hot cheeks and lowered her head without raising it.
In the laughter of the Su family, the Chen brothers climbed the pavilion and saw the six members of the Su family sitting at three tables, Su Shi and Su Zhe on each side, Xiaomei and Banniang sitting on one side, and melons and fruits on the table, burning incense. The six of them either read and write, or play the piano and sing lyrics, or depict the thorn phoenix, or split the words and guess the coins, and they are happy and happy.
At that time, the breeze came, the lotus pond was cool, and the Su family either wore a light fur or a skirt fluttering slightly, but there was no earthly atmosphere.
"It's a fairy day." Chen Ke smiled and took the pear thrown by Su Shi and sat on the little sister's chair.
"Go to ......" the little sister was still ashamed, and her voice was like a mosquito's chirping.
"It's cool." Chen Ke smiled: "The words you just sang are really good." ”
"You let them make fun of me," the little sister twisted him and said, "Who are you with?" ”
"Haha, it's really a girl outgoing." Su Shi put down the book and laughed: "This is not married yet, so it is not the same as us." ”
"It's you guys who are bullying me." Xiaomei smiled: "Hurry up tomorrow, the four of us are in a group, and we are not afraid that you will bully fewer people with more people." ”
In that room, Banniang blushed, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Talking about yourself, what are you doing with me?" ”
Chen Erlang is not as cheeky as his younger brother, and he sits across the table from Banniang, although the boss is not small, but when he saw Banniang, he suddenly returned to the state when he knocked on the door of the Su family more than ten years ago.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After laughing for a while, Chen Ke asked a few ladies if they could get used to life in the capital.
"If you want to say that you are not used to it, it is that you are not used to living in such a big house." Shi said with a smile: "I went around the garden after dinner yesterday and almost got lost. ”
"The sky is rising to the ground," Wang Fu said with a smile: "With a total of two acres of yard, you can get lost?" ”
"It's dark, it's dark." Shi Shi smiled: "It's also because it's dark that I didn't see what I shouldn't see." ”
"Be a ...... death" Wang Fu glared at her, his face turned red for a moment, and he glanced at Su Shi fiercely-

This one counts yesterday, although it's a bit late. But here's what it gets...... Let's count it for today.
