Chapter 348: Zhao Zhen's Choice
Originally, Zhang Mao was hesitant to say nothing, but now that he has upset the officials, he doesn't dare to say everything without a trace of concealment.
When he heard that Su Shi did not obey the order and was grounded at home, Zhao Zhen's face was a little unsightly. As an emperor, he disliked disobedient courtiers the most. Think about it, if you don't even listen to your own orders, will you still obey the Song Law?
But then, when Zhang Mao said that Su Shi's reason for entering the palace was to borrow money, Zhao Zhen's eyes obviously flashed with astonishment, and he blurted out a sentence, "Will he be short of money?" β
"Your Majesty, the slave maid heard that since the morning, Su Shaofu has been buying some Bianliang City properties everywhere, and I heard that it has cost nearly 10 million yuan."
Xiucai doesn't go out, he knows what is going on in the world, which is absolutely impossible. In ancient times, communication was not so developed, and I don't know how long it would take to spread it. And some things can't even be passed on.
Zhang Mao is just a lieutenant eunuch, and he doesn't leave the palace, but he has so many godsons and so many small yellow doors to drive, and he can still get some news about the major events that happened in Bianliang City.
"This... He's going to take advantage of it. After hearing that Su Shi had spent nearly 10 million yuan on the industry, Zhao Zhen understood what was going on. It must be because of Fan Zhongyan's incident in Changxingfang that some people were frightened, for fear that he would expand the scope of investigation, so he began to shoot those industries that were not visible.
This is actually a good thing, the courtiers have no other thoughts, so they can do a good job and contribute to the strong Song Dynasty.
It's just that Su Shi can give it, and now he has no money to think of himself, does he want to get involved.
At this time, it will naturally be beneficial to lend money to Su Shi, according to Su Shi's style of doing things, he will take out the money at this time, and he will be paid in the future. But Zhao Zhen is really not interested in money, as long as he needs to use it, he can take it out.
Besides, this time taking money is to buy those shady industries, and such things are easy to say. Zhao Zhen is still a person who cherishes feathers very much, he doesn't want his courtiers to scold him behind his back, saying that he is just to buy things in the hands of others, so he has to vigorously crack down on the underground industry, so he will not become a person who competes with the ministers for profit.
Thinking that he now has a business of rencha and silk cloth, and he can make a lot of money every month, and he doesn't need to intervene in other things, Zhao Zhen put an end to the idea of lending money to Su Shi. "Zhang Daban, did Su Tianyou only pay homage to me?"
"Your Majesty, Su Shaofu also sent a greeting to King Jing." Zhang Mao is an emperor, you are so smart, and he patted his ass when he thought of it.
Hearing that Su Shi had also found his own son, Zhao Zhen thought that he had seen through Su Shi's thoughts, and this was to give benefits to King Jing. Thinking that he couldn't get some benefits, it was also a good thing to give his own son, so he nodded and said, "That's the case, I won't see him, let him go to Zhaoren Palace." β
Since Zhu Guifei passed away, Zhao Xi has become more hardworking.
Listening to the people below, every day Zhao Xi gets up before dawn to practice martial arts and exercise, and then every day in addition to having a husband give him lessons, he will also read books by himself, and it is late at night when he sees it.
This is just a six-year-old child, but it gives people a feeling of racing against time, which makes Zhao Zhen very pleased. Even sometimes, in order for the only prince to have a good rest, he had to give orders to let him rest.
The reason for such hard work, Zhao Zhen, as a person who has come over, of course knows why.
I think that when I learned that my mother was not Liu Mo, but Concubine Li Chen, wasn't she also anxious to grow up and grasp power quickly, so that mother and son could be reunited?
Zhu Guifei's death, if you want to say that no one did anything in it, Zhao Zhen doesn't believe it.
But everyone is already dead, and there is no need for him to stir up a teacher because of a dead person, which can only make people panic and everyone will not be at peace.
The situation of the Great Song Dynasty, which has finally stabilized, will inevitably undergo unexpected changes, which is not what Zhao Zhen wants to see, so he can only open one eye, close one eye, and pretend not to see it.
For the sake of the overall situation, Zhao Zhen had to do this, but he always felt that he owed something to his son, and now that he had the opportunity, he could get some benefits, Zhao Zhen was willing, which pushed Su Shi to Zhao Xi.
Su Shi outside the palace gate soon saw the little yellow door that greeted him, and it turned out to be Zhang Xi, so needless to say, it must be His Royal Highness King Jing who agrees with him.
Zhang Xi is a person that Zhao Xi trusts very much, and he is also a person with means, when he gained a foothold in Zhaoren Palace, the first thing he did was to kill his predecessor Dong Wen.
Drowned, this is the cause of Dong Wen's death.
There is a huge imperial city, and there are almost all over the pools, and I don't know how many people die from drowning every year, and there are not many Dong Wen.
After controlling the entire Zhaoren Palace, Zhang Xi served Zhao Xi even more. Su Shi is also on the line of King Jing, and the relationship between the two is naturally very good, and Zhang Xi, who is pushing a wheelchair towards the inner palace, is also smiling all the time.
Along the way, Zhang Xi told him some of the things he had just known. After Su Shi learned that he could go to see King Jing, which was allowed by the official family, he also had an indifferent smile on his face.
Knowing that he was grounded and had to leave the palace, Su Shi was also forced to do so.
It's not always like there is such a good opportunity to buy the real estate in the city. According to Zhou Quan, not only them, but in the afternoon, other businessmen also intervened, obviously they also took a fancy to the interests here, and wanted to buy a house and a faΓ§ade at a low price.
If it is unscrupulous, Su Shi is certainly not afraid. Isn't it just more than throwing money? If Su Shi used the system, he could stone everyone to death, but the problem was that he couldn't do that.
Take out a million guan, others can still accept it, but I don't know how many people will be jealous, if you take out more, I'm afraid everyone will be suspicious.
This is like money laundering in the future, you obviously have so much money, but if you want to take it out openly, you always need a reason. For this reason, Su Shi can only enter the palace once, and if there is an official or King Jing who endorses him, then others can't say anything.
In fact, Su Shi's main target is King Jing, after all, the next thing is too big, and the benefits are more, if he can, he can only choose one partner, he hopes that the collaborator is Zhao Xi, after all, the two of them have one thing in common, they are both young, and such cooperation can last longer.
On the contrary, if you cooperate with Zhao Zhen, it doesn't mean that you can't do it. However, cooperating with the government will inevitably be constrained by all sides, and even after a long time, it is not impossible for the initiative to be taken away.
Zhao Xi is different, the two can be said to trust each other very much, that is, it is their own business, the other party is just waiting for the silver, and they will not meddle in specific things casually.
This gives Sushi more room to operate.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this time the matter is done, Su Shi will not be short of money in the future, and once he needs a large amount of money, he can take it out at any time.
The question is, what kind of cooperation did Su Shi talk to Zhao Xi about? The answer is simple β banks.
In ancient times, it could also be called a money bank.
Just like a Jiaozi bill, it is easy to carry and can be used for trading.
Su Shi is very rich, but once he trades with Jiaozi, he will hand over one percent to the controller of Jiaozi for no reason, which makes him very unhappy.
Even if you have such ability, why not open a bank yourself?
If you really have your own bank, then all the money has a source when you take it out, especially when others don't know how much money the bank has, so don't you want to use as much as you want?
Of course, things are easier said than done, but they are also a little complicated. Not every money bank can be trusted. At the same time, the establishment of Qianzhuang originally required a lot of development time, and everyone needed a process of slow acceptance.
Just like Jiaozi, from the establishment to the real trust of the powerful, it has gone through more than 20 years.
Su Shi can't wait that long, he urgently needs to take out the money openly, and for him, time is also the most precious. And to achieve this, it is necessary to have the support of the top.
Remember, at the top.
Then you can only choose one of the two of the current official family and the future official family. Other people, in Su Shi's eyes, can't be said to be the existence of the top.
After all, Su Shi himself is also considered an upper-class person. If you choose to be like the Pang family or the Li family, the Miao family and the Cao family, it will take time to implement it, and you have to share the benefits with them.
Su Shi is not afraid to divide the benefits, it should be rich for everyone to earn, so that it can develop in the long run. But if you cooperate with these people, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not interfere in the specific affairs of Qianzhuang, which makes Su Shi disliked.
In order to achieve his own goals, Su Shi simply bypassed them this time and came to the palace.
In the Zhaoren Palace, King Jing had just finished teaching, and he was reciting with the homework left by the teacher today, when he saw Su Shi in a wheelchair appearing, he rarely put down the book in his hand, "Brother Su, you are here." β
"The minister has seen His Royal Highness King Jing."
Zhao Xi can be casual with himself, but Su Shi can't be ignorant of etiquette, otherwise he is not sensible.
"Brother Su, I heard that because of you, that Fan was dismissed, okay, I know that Brother Su is the most powerful." As soon as he saw Su Shi, Zhao Xi said with some cheers.
Judging from this tone alone, Zhao Xi should also dislike Fan Zhongyan, otherwise he wouldn't be able to open his mouth to be Fan's.
Zhao Xi will have such an opinion, which comes from his teacher Li Di, who was the prime minister of the dynasty and the prince and the prince.
Li Di has long seen the essence of the new deal, even if it is successful, it will not bring much change to the Great Song Dynasty, on the contrary, in the process of implementation, it will only toss the Great Song Dynasty. So he was also a strong opponent of the New Deal.
Some people died, but not completely......
