Chapter 227: Old Friends

Si Kan left, and a few people didn't talk about business, drinking tea and chatting about rebellion.

Ouyang took out a pamphlet and said, "Sleepwalking is very well written. According to the Royal Newspaper, young men and women aspire to such a society. But most of the older people don't like it. However, the literacy rate of the older people is also low, and there are not many people who can see it, so there is no opinion. ”

Zhou Andao: "After Cai Jing stepped down from a series of turmoil, the situation in the DPRK has basically stabilized. It can be seen that the ministers still cherish the power in their hands, and they are not all just for the sake of promotion. ”

Su Qian said: "Your Excellency also knows that the prestige of the emperor is so high that even if the ministers of the whole dynasty support it, I'm afraid we can't do anything." "Zhao Yu has achieved great results in internal peace and foreign wars.

"So for this to happen, two factors are necessary." Ouyang said: "That is internal and external troubles. ”

Su Qian thought about it and said carefully: "My lord means that the imperial court wants to defeat the battle?" At the same time, an economic crisis will break out? ”

"Yes, only in this way can the emperor's court lose credibility. In fact, many people are dissatisfied with the war for many years, and there are still some people who do not know that they are dissatisfied. Once defeated, the emperor will be given the name of a rebellious soldier. In addition, the economy is weak, a large number of workers are unemployed, and the number of social idlers has increased. Have you also counted how many employees the two chambers of commerce have combined? Once half of these people are unemployed, how can they survive without land and land? ”

Zhou An nodded: "At present, it is necessary to recruit more workers to work on the field, and then support the annexation of land by officials in disguise." Officials and businessmen colluded, they took land, and we recruited people who had lost land. If it's Cai Jing and the like, forget it, but Li Gang is very human, and he will definitely pay attention to this issue sooner or later. ”

Su Qian: "Not necessarily, Li Gang worships more because of the battle against Liao." Therefore, Li Gang mainly cooperates with the Military Aircraft Department, and the handling of internal affairs is still in charge of the 24 Divisions of the Six Ministries of the Three Provinces, and Li Gang may not have so much energy alone. ”

Zhou An nodded: "Now that the battle against Liao has not yet begun, we can only take it step by step." In the future, if we don't have the power of Yibo, we can only give up this plan, and everyone will be able to live for a long time. ”

"Decades of hard work to give away?" Su Qian shook his head: "Becoming a king or defeating a king, even if we want to live for a long time at that time, I'm afraid others may not be willing." ”

Ouyang Dao: "So the most important thing this year is to strengthen the power of leading the adjudication, so that the courtiers can share the emperor's rights, and it is best to have an incident where the ministers oppose the emperor." ”

Zhou An smiled bitterly: "Where to go to have such a thing come out to everyone to oppose." ”

"For example, I have a store or something. Everything is impermanent, today the wind is calm, tomorrow the waves are turbulent. Ouyang smiled: "Why force it, anyway, we are adding fuel to the fire, and we should definitely not make waves." ”

……

Si Kan came back an hour later, Ouyang and the others had already had lunch, and Ouyang also kept one for Si Kan. Si Kan conveyed the meaning of Si De, the temporary chief treasurer, and said that he asked Yangping and the Southeast Chamber of Commerce to come up with a detail, so that he could take it back to chat with the old man Si. Even those who have the right to make decisions dare not make decisions, and the negotiations between the Si family and the two major chambers of commerce are destined to end in nothing. But after all, he has a good start, and it can be seen from Side's attitude that he himself does not resist the bottom line proposed by Su Qian, and young people are always more receptive to new things.

The next day was a public meeting between the two chambers. There are group meetings to discuss various industries, and there are group meetings dedicated to investment industries. They will come up with a proposal in their favor in the discussion. For related industries involving interests, they will also put forward their own views. The advantage of this is that everyone puts the contradictions on the table.

Ouyang discovered early on that the Song people were very reserved. Although subtlety is a virtue, it definitely does not mean in the mall. Implicitly often suffers losses, and it is easy to create senseless misunderstandings, husband and wife turn against each other, and father and son become enemies. Even implicit can cause immeasurable damage. If there is a contradiction, it can be raised, and if there is an opinion, it can also be raised. Resolving the contradictions and misunderstandings between businessmen and chambers of commerce is a very important reason for the establishment of the business council, which has proved to play a significant role.

The meeting lasted for five days, and many contradictions were within the two chambers of commerce. After all, the division between the two chambers of commerce is relatively clear, and there is no great conflict of interest. The intentional or unintentional cross-border competition, vicious competition and resource monopoly competition within the chamber of commerce are the most important items to be dealt with by this conference.

The North-South Business Exchange Conference was successfully concluded. The royal newspaper ran a big headline: Business makes life better. It comprehensively describes the results of business development to improve people's lives, and the inevitable relationship between the two. Chairman Ouyang said in an interview that the purpose of the Chamber of Commerce is to change the pattern of everyone facing the loess and facing the sky. Increase the amount of cultivated land per capita, so that the surplus people can find their own position in the city and realize their self-worth. Next year, the Chamber of Commerce will invest a lot of money in the reform of agricultural implements. It is expected to set up a leasing company for cattle and horse breeding, and reduce the cost of farm tools by uniformly producing farm tools. The quality of the seeds is selected, and the agronomists of Yangping University are funded to impart experience to various places. Therefore, the slogan of next year's chamber of commerce is: agriculture-oriented.

Agriculture-oriented, in fact, is a way for the chamber of commerce to show friendship to feudal landlords. Because of the chamber's contributions, landowners were able to produce more food with less manpower. The use of grain has increased year by year, and stocks have declined in various places after the war. In addition, there is now an area in the northwest that does not produce grain, and grain prices, especially rice prices, are on a rising trend.

Ouyang returned to Yangping on the twentieth day of the lunar month, and as soon as he entered the city gate, the village soldiers guarding the city gate announced: "There are old friends in the lord's house to look for." ”

Old friends? Ouyang shuddered, it's almost the New Year, it won't be Li Han, the old guy, who came to rob the rich and help the poor, right? But Ouyang remembers,Educational lottery sales are still relatively ideal,Plus Zhao Yu also has support,It shouldn't be so shameless again, right?

What other old friends does this guy have? I don't remember who I have a deep personal relationship with non-official and non-mall figures. With apprehension, Ouyang touched the outside of Oufu. With a hook of his finger, he summoned the officer on duty: "Shhh ”

The official was busy to the side and whispered sneakily: "My lord." ”

"Is there an old thing coming to me?"

"Yes! It's been half a month. The official suppressed his voice and said, "My lord, this guy is not a good person. Every day when he is full, he wanders around in the name of old friends of adults. ”

"......" Ouyang asked, "Why did you let him live in my house?" ”

"Mr. Ou said that he was an old man, and we can't stop it." The official whispered: "I heard that I went to find a prostitute on the first night. ”

"What?" Ouyang was furious, Lao Tzu helped you make money to water the flowers of the Great Song Dynasty, but your old boy used it to play with women. Play also has to wait for yourself to come back, and you have a 7% discount on drinks. Ouyang asked, "Where is that guy?" ”

The official looked inside and said, "Bask in the sun at the pool." ”

Ouyang walked into the house, and sure enough, there was an old man sitting on a wooden chair on the beach with his back to him. Look at the old man holding a glass of Tang wine in his left hand, holding the tender white hand of the twenty-year-old maid in his right hand and asking long questions and short questions and rubbing oil wildly. Over in the kitchen, Wang Baofu was busy making some side dishes.

Seeing this, Ouyang didn't say a word, stepped forward quickly, raised his foot and kicked the old man into the winter swimming pool with a chair. Then he shouted: "Ouping, someone has fallen overboard." ”

"Bunny, bunny." A head sticks out of the water, trembling and scolding: "You want to die...... Yawn! "It's refreshing, go straight into the cold water, and you catch a cold at the speed of light.

"Huh?" When Ouyang saw the man, he immediately covered his mouth and asked for a long time, "Why are you here?" ”

"Kicked, kicked down by you. Don't, don't think I don't know. ”

Ouyang hurriedly instructed the maid: "Go get a towel, and bring me a set of dry clothes." ”

"Yes! Master. ”

"Wait, take the old one, I don't wear it."

"Bastard, grandpa is going back to the west soon, and you won't catch me?"

"I see you're horny, so I'll help you cool down." Ouyang took the hook gun that scooped up weeds on the ground, hooked the old man's clothes, dragged the old man to the edge of the pool, and then grabbed his coat...... I didn't mention it, the clothes were too heavy to absorb water. Winter, abominable winter. Ouyang hurriedly said: "Insist, I'll go find someone." Blessing, don't lean into the pool. ”

"It's all at this time, what are you guarding against and guarding against thieves?" The old man's face was frozen purple.

In the end, with the help of two officials, the old man was fished up. The two officials were discussing how Ouyang would deal with this old thing in the back, and when they came in to take a look, they felt that Ouyang's methods were cruel. Throwing people into the water in the middle of winter. The two servants stripped the old man naked, and the cold wind blew, and the naked old man trembled in the wind.

Lighting the fire and drying his body with a towel, the old man was still shivering wrapped in a quilt. Ou Ping happened to come back, and when he saw this scene, he laughed: "Taixu Immortal, you also like winter swimming?" ”

This person is acquainted with Ouyang Lao, and the national teacher of Jin Guo is too Xuzi. Taixuzi shuddered and scolded angrily: "I owe you, how can you be unlucky once you meet." ”

Ouyang comforted: "How come? Didn't you open your eyes last time? By the way, if you are a good national teacher, how can you run to Yangping. ”

Taixuzi said with snot and tears: "Langzhong, go and help me find a Langzhong first." ”

"Go and call a Langzhong." Ouyang asked with concern: "Do you want to ask someone to help you order a pair of life materials?" ”

"You, I won't die." Taixuzi was furious.

"Do you want Langzhong?"

"Yes!" Taixuzi replied resolutely, to be honest, he was also a little weak-hearted, he was flirting with other people's maids, and was caught by his master. He didn't expect that Ouyang also had a younger sister, and seeing that he was like that to his handmaiden, he was naturally worried that his sister would be like that, so Ouyang kicked it without saying a word, and he didn't feel any guilt after kicking, but gloated a little. Taixuzi must know that Ouyang thinks so, he must shout injustice, if he dares to make a black hand against Wang Baofu, Ou Ping will have destroyed himself long ago.

Under Ouyang's instigation, Taixuzi caught a cold, fever, and cold...... It didn't take until the fourth day to ease up. Ouyang should not care about his small life, there is a way that good people do not live long, and disasters will be left for thousands of years.
