It's not just Zhongli Qiuyang who finds it weird.

Today, the entire Waterfront City thinks that this regent's preferences are very strange.

In the streets and alleys, teahouses and restaurants, almost everyone is talking about the regent, but it is not how wise the regent is, but the regent's incomprehensible preferences.

Someone shook his head and sighed.

Someone didn't care and just smiled.

Leisurely tea house in Linshui City.

Private room on the second floor.

As night fell, the red lanterns in the private room were lit up.

Xie Tongju boiled a pot of tea and looked at Chen Dingmao, who was sitting opposite.

"Gong Chen sits for a while, you always have to find some craftsmen, and the people of the Zou family in Linshui City know this matter best."

"I've sent someone to invite Old Man Zou here, and we'll go to the Shiweixuan next door to have dinner after a while."

Chen Dingmao arched his hand: "This matter is troublesome brother!" ”

Xie Tongju grinned:

"This is what should be done in the future, after all, over the years, my Xie family has been able to gain a foothold in this waterfront city, but it all depends on your help Gong Chen!"

Chen Dingmao stroked his long beard, "This can't be said to be helpful, it's just a business dealing!" ”

Xie Tong twisted a handful of tea leaves and put them into the teapot, "Gong Chen, you see, the tea leaves in this leisurely teahouse are the goods offered by my Xie family." ”

"Don't hide it from Gong Chen, now in this waterfront city, half of the tea business is in the hands of my Xie family."

"But all the tea of my Xie family comes from Yingzhou Chen!"

"I understand in my heart that the price given by Chen Gong is extremely fair, and the tea produced by Chen's is also very good in terms of appearance and taste, which makes it possible to have a place in Jiangnan Province, which is the most competitive in the next place!"

"Thank you, I won't say much about it below. In short, my Xie family will always follow in the footsteps of your Yingzhou Chen family......"

"Of course, my Xie family is only engaged in the tea business, after all, mining and smelting this matter, my Xie family has no experience at all, and secondly, ...... There is not so much financial resources to invest. ”

Chen Dingmao smiled slightly, "If you want to talk about mining and smelting, my Yingzhou Chen family doesn't dare to invest a lot of money rashly!" ”

"After all, the government has a salt and iron department, and it can get the right to mine in Yingzhou...... This is already the greatest ability of the Yingzhou Chen family. ”

"As for the rest of the place, the old man didn't dare to think about it."

Zhou Tongju raised his head in surprise, "Then Gong Chen is going to Beimo Dao...... Not to survey the mines? ”

Chen Dingmao pondered for a moment and said, "It depends on what the regent means." ”

"The old man is waiting here for Su Mingtang, the head of the Su family, that is, if he is looking for a famous cousin, he may be able to meet the regent."

"The old man hopes that through his cousin, he can also invite the regent to a glass of wine...... Of course, this idea is unlikely, so it would be good to be able to ask a famous cousin to help the old man visit the regent. ”

"The North Desert Road is mountainous, and there will always be mines in the mountains."

"The Ministry of Industry has not sent people to survey the mountains in Beimodao, and even if they are surveyed, they don't have the energy to mine and take care of them."

"I, the Chen family, can do this, and if I find a mineral deposit, I can share the profits with the imperial court."

Zhou Tongju was taken aback.

Because mining is not easy.

It is not easy to find mineral deposits in the vast mountains, but if you really find them, it will take great manpower and material resources to mine the mines inside!

It takes a lot of financial resources!

Cooperate with the government...... This has happened before.

But the end result was not good.

The government doesn't pay much attention to credibility!

Seeing the white silver, they took possession of the mine with a piece of paper, which was good.

What's more, directly detaining a trumped-up crime is to kill people and kill people!

Cooperating with the government, this is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger!

Zhou Tong poured tea, handed over a cup, and asked in a worried whisper:

"Duke Chen, Lord Regent...... A regent who likes dogs, let's say a word about losing his head, he is happy to see dogs, and he sees the mountains of gold and silver...... Will the eyes be green? ”

Chen Dingmao blew on the teacup, pondered for a moment, and said:

"The old man has a different opinion."

"Oh......? What does Duke Chen think of this regent? ”

陈丁卯yoyo says:

"Today, I did see that he brought back a lot of dogs, which means that the fact that he brought back many dogs from Wu is probably true."

"But that doesn't mean anything!"

"As far as the old man sees, first, he is a poet immortal of Ningguo, and he is a real reader!"

"Judging from his poetry and articles, he is not the kind of person who is cruel and vicious."

"In the Kyoto Revolution in the twenty-third year of Zhaohua, he could have ascended the throne as the emperor, but in order to save Zhongli Ruoshui, he gave up the throne......"

"Brother, think about it, a person who doesn't even care about the throne, will he care about the mine?"

"Second, he became the regent of Ningguo, and the Ji Tai family was purged, including the destruction of the Jiangnan Province officialdom and the Jiangnan Shang clan, and all the property confiscated by the government was escorted back to Kyoto and included in the household department!"

"The old man heard that even this admiral Zhongli Qiuyang, who intercepted the merchant ship of the Shang clan at Wangjiang Wharf and raided Shang Chunqiu's lair, did not dare to leave a penny of silver!"

"This shows that although our regent is young, the rules are very strict!"

"Look at these people used by the regent after the fall of the Jitai family."

"Wen boiled rain Wen Shoufu, this person has studied through ancient and modern times, and has traveled to many countries."

"He is truly well-informed, and he is never pedantic, and he is not stuck in the old politics of the past!"

"Therefore, after the regent left Kyoto, he was able to fully implement the policy set by the regent to boost business."

After a pause, Chen Dingmao took a sip of tea and said:

"Look at the provincial servants of the province again, Mr. Su Yi'an!"

"When Ji Tai was in charge of the government, Mr. Su was excluded and stayed away from Kyoto, and went to Jingning County to open a three-flavor study house and become a teacher."

"If the regent was a ridiculous person, he would definitely not have visited Mr. Su when he passed through Jingning County!"

"I'm afraid you don't know that Su Yi'an is very stubborn, and the old man doesn't know how the regent said that Mr. Su invited him out of the mountain, and directly worshiped the official and served the door...... This is a second-class master! ”

"What does that mean?"

"It shows that the regent not only has a pair of discerning eyes, but he also dares to use people!"

"These people he used, including Zhongshu Lingnian Chengfeng in Zhongshu Province and Shangshu Ling Qi Yao in Shangshu Province, all of these people have a common characteristic."

Zhou Tongju was dumbfounded when he heard it.

These people are the most powerful people in the temple of Ningguo today, and he naturally knows about them, but he doesn't know them as thoroughly as Chen Dingmao.

When I heard it at this moment, I realized that they were all people who were activated by the regent.

In other words, when the regent left Kyoto, he had actually set up the framework of Ningguo's power.

It is no wonder that the policies he set before his departure were implemented without any problems.

When he returned to Kyoto, he ascended the throne as emperor, which was also logical, and there would never be any more objections!

Regent...... Great wisdom!

Zhou Tongju sighed and asked, "What do they have in common?" ”

"Let's do it together!"

"Forge ahead!"

Zhou Tongju nodded thoughtfully, "Listening to Chen Gong's words, the order is suddenly opened!" ”

Chen Dingmao stroked his long beard and said with a smile:

"So...... The regent likes dogs, which is just one of his peculiar fetishes. ”

"It doesn't affect the big picture."

"It won't have any impact on the future of Ning Guo!"

"Since the regent attaches so much importance to industry and commerce, then this plan proposed by the Chen family, I think he will also weigh it carefully."

"Now that Ningguo's national strength is still weak, Yingzhou Chen's move, of course, has the intention of seeking benefits for the Chen family, but it is more ......"

"It's still to make a modest contribution to the development of Ningguo!"

Zhou Tongju understood and was about to speak, but turned his head to look at the door.

A man who looked like a butler stood at the door, he bowed, and said apologetically:

"Master, Old Lady Zou went to the Admiral's Mansion."

"I heard that the regent sent someone to invite me."

Zhou Tongju and Chen Dingmao glanced at each other, their eyes full of question marks!
