In the study of Zhao's mansion, Zhao Lei shook his head and looked at the pile of banquet posts in front of him with a wry smile.
"It's distressing! This is the distress of celebrity happiness, look at these posts, in addition to the invitation posts of major restaurants, there are also posts about the banquet of Bianjing civil and military officials, posts of businessmen and magnates, posts of clans, hehe! I never thought that Bianjing would hold so many banquets in one day, I am afraid there are thousands of them! Bai Xinlan flipped the invitation sticker on the desk and said to Zhao Lei with a light smile.
"The richness of the Great Song Dynasty can be seen from this! There will be thousands of grand banquets in Bianjing a day, you say that these thousand banquets, how much wine and food will be consumed, how much money will be spent, I am afraid that even Shangjing of Liao is not prosperous and rich! Zhao Lei was really shocked in his heart, the prosperity of Bianjing was not officially contacted until this time, even though Zhao Lei was trusted by the official family in the past, but in the eyes of the hundred officials in Bianjing, he was just a tyrant who had just come to Bianjing, but the performance at the Lantern Festival Festival conquered those text-based officials and magnates in Bianjing, and Zhao Lei at this time was considered to have officially stepped into the high-level magnates of Bianjing.
"Official, if you want to win the iron case. You must attend these banquets, after all, the iron case implicates many powerful people in Bianjing, and if you get their support, it will be easier to win the iron case and control the gold, silver, copper, iron and other mineral resources in various parts of the Great Song Dynasty. Bai Xinlan held an invitation note in her hand and said seriously to Zhao Lei.
Hear Bai Xinlan's words. Zhao Lei pondered for a long time, he finally figured out that reform is not as easy as he thought, if he forcibly deprives the interests of the Great Song magnates like the later king Anshi, he will only be strongly resisted, maybe he will be like him, a united Great Song Dynasty will become fragmented, the national strength is consumed in internal strife, and finally it is taken advantage of by the Jin State, it seems that it is time to find a way to get the support of some of the magnates. Only in this way can the reform be better continued and carried out!
"Is there anyone who has something to do with the iron case to invite me to the banquet?" After Zhao Lei pondered, he asked Bai Xinlan.
"Yes, but most of them are small people, and there is only one person who may be able to help the officials. And this person is easily convinced! Bai Xinlan said with a light smile.
"Oh! Who is it? Zhao Lei asked curiously.
"Pan Fusheng of the Pan family in Bianjing!" Bai Xinlan raised her hand and said.
"Pan Fusheng! The boss of that Pan Lou, Pan Fat, that guy is so fat, and he hasn't died yet! Zhao Lei remembered that he had seen Pan Fusheng, a three-hundred-pound fat man, and said with a smile.
"Not dead yet, but almost. I heard that Pan Fusheng has been sick recently, and many famous doctors have been helpless, if you can cure his illness, you can cure his illness. In the lure of profit, Pan Fusheng will definitely be of great help to the officials! Bai Xinlan remembered the huge force behind Pan Fusheng, and said to Zhao Lei seriously.
"Pan Fusheng really has that much energy?" Zhao Lei took the invitation in Bai Xinlan's hand and asked suspiciously.
"The officials underestimated Pan Fusheng and the Pan family behind him, the Pan family relied on Pan Louda, and was the only family in Bianjing that existed in the previous dynasty. Only the Pan family, in the past two hundred years, has survived wind and rain without falling, and the strength of the Pan family is absolutely beyond the imagination of officials. Bai Xinlan said to Zhao Lei with a straight face.
"Good! Tonight, I will go to the banquet of the Pan family, take a good look at Pan Fusheng's illness, and by the way, see if I can catch up with the Pan family! Zhao Lei pondered for a while and said resolutely.
……
To the north of Panlou and to the east of the north section of Gaotou Street, it is a famous luxury residential area in Bianjing, which is different from the official residential area in the north of Xijiaolou Street, where all the famous wealthy businessmen live in Bianjing.
Although the status of merchants in the Northern Song Dynasty has improved compared with that of various dynasties, compared with the Northern Song Dynasty scholar class, the distinction between superior and inferior can be clearly seen from the residence. Most of the official residential areas are high-walled courtyards and vermilion lacquer copper doors, while the residences in the commercial residential areas, according to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, the wall height can not be too high, and it is not allowed to have vermilion lacquer copper doors, only black lacquered wooden doors can be used, and there can be no partial doors.
Pan Fusheng, a part-time official who is a full-time official comprador of the seventh grade, entered the officialdom as a businessman, and how to say that he also entered the class of scholars, so Pan Mansion is very different from other commercial houses, and it is the object of envy of all businessmen in Bianjing.
Zhao Lei came to the Pan family's mansion in a low-key manner, and he received an invitation from Pan Fusheng's son to take a concubine, this kind of trivial little thing, there will be no big people at all, such as the court officials who Zhao Lei knows who are qualified to go to the court, and the people who have a relationship with Pan Fusheng, but they just send people to send congratulatory gifts, and they will never appear on this occasion.
After the secret was transmitted, Zhao Lei avoided the grand and lively banquet in the front hall, and came to a study in the Pan Mansion under the guidance of an old official in the Pan Mansion.
In the study of Pan's Mansion, it is bright, the brazier is everywhere, warm as spring, and the obese Pan Fusheng is lying on the soft chair in the study in a single dress, and next to him are two thinly dressed maids, respectfully serving him.
When Zhao Lei came to the study, he saw the obese Pan Fusheng, lying lazily on the soft chair, a fat hand still wandering around the young maid next to him, and a ** laugh came out of his mouth.
Old**! Zhao Lei cursed in his heart and walked straight to Pan Fusheng.
"Lord Zhao is here!" When Pan Fusheng saw Zhao Lei coming, he hurriedly supported his fat body with difficulty, and waved his hand to drive the two maids out of the study. stood up with difficulty and said to Zhao Lei.
"Master Pan, let's sit there! I heard that the officials were embarrassed to let you stand when they saw you. Zhao Lei looked at Pan Fusheng, who was standing there with trembling legs, and quipped.
Hearing Zhao Lei's words, Pan Fusheng took a breath, and he was not hypocritical, he immediately sat on the soft chair, sighed and said to Zhao Lei: "Lord Zhao forgives me!" People are old. I'm so fat again, I can't stand on my feet. ”
"Master Pan is only half a hundred years old, how can he serve the old! I heard that Master Pan just accepted a concubine a few years ago, and he should be strong and strong! Zhao Lei made up for Pan Fusheng's matter through Bai Xinlan, and knew that the fat guy in front of him was definitely an old fox, regardless of officialdom and shopping malls, Pan Fusheng had never done anything wrong in his life, and his eyes were vicious, which made Zhao Lei very impressed.
"Get old and strong! Forget it! Two days ago, Doctor Huo also gave Xia Guan the number of pulses, and Xia Guan's body. It's a collapse, and there are no days left to live. Pan Fusheng heard Zhao Lei's praise and said with a wry smile.
What Pan Fusheng said just now was true, Zhao Lei learned from Bai Xinlan that Pan Fusheng's body was getting worse day by day. Not to mention the frequent illness, and the body includes high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and other obesity diseases, basically, under the medical conditions of the Northern Song Dynasty, death is not far away.
"Master Pan doesn't have to be so sad. Master Pan should know that he is a physician, and he is still a little sure of the stubborn illness on Lord Pan. Although it can't be eradicated, it's not difficult to suppress it, I don't know if Master Pan knows about the rich man Gu Qiu in Meishan! Zhao Lei unceremoniously moved a chair and sat opposite Pan Fusheng, and said with a light smile.
"Gu Qiu, the famous rich man in Chengdu Mansion, once met once, but I heard that he got a gadget from there and paid tribute to the former prime minister of the imperial court, and served as the official position of the lord of Meishan." Pan Fusheng thought for a while. Puzzled and said to Zhao Lei, he didn't understand what Zhao Lei was doing when he suddenly mentioned Gu Qiu.
"Gu Qiu and Master Pan are the same as your illness, but Gu Qiu knows how to cherish life, he has half a year every year, resting in a beautiful place, and often exercising to lose weight, eat less fat, reduce wine, and maintain a good mood, so Gu Qiu's body is very good now, much better than when the official helped him see a doctor." Zhao Lei said to Pan Fusheng with a light smile.
Hearing Zhao Lei's words, Pan Fusheng stood up from the soft chair and asked in surprise: "Lord Zhao can cure the disease of the lower officials?" ”
"This official can even cure the death of the prince Xin, Lord Pan doesn't believe in this official, no wonder Lord Pan hasn't seen this official for so long, and he even wants this official to come to the door in person!" Zhao Lei saw Pan Fusheng's reflection, and finally caught Pan Fusheng's weakness, he didn't expect the fat man in front of him to look at life and death so seriously, so he said with a smile.
Hearing Zhao Lei's words, Pan Fusheng's face turned rosy with excitement, but he immediately gasped.
And asthma! Zhao Lei was slightly stunned when he saw Pan Fusheng's performance, and immediately said to him: "Don't be excited! You can't be agitated by this disease. ”
"Lord Zhao must be dismissed! If Lord Zhao can save Xia Guan, it will be Xia Guan's rebirth of parents, no matter what it is, Xia Guan will never shirk what he can do! Pan Fusheng also knew that Zhao Lei came to Pan Mansion, not just to see a doctor for him, he must have something to ask, and immediately said to Zhao Lei in a low voice very cooperatively.
"Good! In this case, the official will not shirk, your illness is not too difficult for the official, although it cannot be eradicated, but it is not a problem to suppress, if you cooperate with the official, like Gu Qiu, the official will definitely guarantee that you can live for 20 years! Zhao Lei said to Pan Fusheng with certainty.
When Pan Fusheng heard Zhao Lei's words, he immediately realized that twenty years of life was not so easy to get, and if the price was too great, Pan Fusheng really didn't know if he was willing to exchange.
"Lord Zhao, what do you need to do to help?" Pan Fusheng asked Zhao Lei cautiously.
"This official wants to control the iron case!" Zhao Lei said in a deep voice.
Iron case! Pan Fusheng's eyes turned sharply, and he began to measure the cause and effect here, imagining the relationship between Zhao Lei and the official Zhao Zhen, as well as the connections in the imperial court, it is not easy to win the iron case, but with the wealth and access of the Pan family, it is much simpler.
"Good! Xia Guan will definitely let Lord Zhao take control of the iron case! "Compared to twenty years of life, an iron case is nothing at all, even though there are many businessmen and officials who control the iron case, but the Pan family comes forward, they will definitely sell this face, thinking of this, Pan Fusheng made up his mind and said firmly.
"Good! This official will come to treat you from tomorrow! Zhao Lei saw that the goal was achieved, and after Zhengse finished speaking, he said goodbye and left Pan's Mansion.
……
On the 21st day of the first month, the imperial court reopened the court, and Zhao Lei also accused the court of the iron case judge for being unfavorable, and the output of gold, silver, copper and iron in the imperial court fell sharply, not only did there be a shortage of money, but also made the case not enough iron ore to produce various ordnance.
Everything was as Zhao Lei expected, with the help of the official Zhao Zhen, his senior brother Wang Su, and the connections and wealth of the Pan family, Zhao Lei easily got the control of the iron case, and while serving as the judge of the case, he also served as the judge of the iron case.
After controlling the case and the iron case at the same time, Zhao Lei only needs to take the power of the ordnance institute under the name of the Ministry of Industry, and he can control all the logistics and ordnance departments related to the new army, and then it is the best time to start training the new army.
