Tian Dan and Jiang Mo stayed in Luoyang, the capital of the gods, for eight full days, and there was no summons and will from the emperor. This made Tian Dan smell a lot of unusual political flavors, "Your Royal Highness, you have promised the title of Earl of the Prince!" ”

Jiang Mo had been looking for information in the wing, and he didn't raise his head at Tian Dan's sudden intrusion: "Uncle Tian, it's just a title, the military and legal affairs of Yanzhou are all in charge of the uncle, which is no different from a vassal state." ”

"Hmph, what a good means" Tian Dan had endured the people of the Great Zhou to the limit, and his anger involuntarily transferred to Jiang Mo: "With more land and cities, the largest feudal division of the Qi State was revoked, and in order to let the ministers use all the soldiers and horses to resist the invasion of the Great Zhou, they did not hesitate to put the ministers into the battleground of the Great Zhou." ”

"That's also the actual benefits and land," Jiang Mo drew on the paper with a pen.

"Hmph, what can the king do in Yanzhou himself? Whether it is for Yanzhou or himself, the minister must be recognized by the Great Zhou. Tian Dan slapped his big palm on Jiang Mo's table, and he was very dissatisfied with Jiang Mo's disdain.

Jiang Mo raised his head, he understood that Tian Dan's request was reasonable, a title recognized by the Great Zhou Emperor would have a much more effective positive impact on Lu Di than Tian Dan's governance with a hundred times the effort.

Jiang Mo got up and stared at Tian Dan for a long time, Tian Dan couldn't help but continue: "If the stone does not fall to the ground, it is an unforeseeable hidden danger for the prince of the world. ”

Jiang Mo replied firmly: "As the prince of Qi Kingdom, I will enter the palace to meet you." ”

Tian Dan smiled slightly, knowing that the conditions for meeting and negotiating in the name of Jiang Mo Shizi were at least in line with the regulations, and if he had the opportunity, he would not be afraid all day long.

Jiang Mo led Tian Dan, Qin Mu, Bao Yong and the honor guards who matched their identities to go outside the palace to ask to see His Majesty the Emperor.

The eunuch outside the palace looked at the face of the silver and entered the palace to report, but after an hour passed, the eunuch who passed the message only left six words: "Emperor Qingxiu, don't disturb." ”

The group returned in disappointment.

Jiang Mo fanned the fan as he had expected it a long time ago, Tian Dan was even more annoyed, but Jiang Mo comforted: "Uncle Tian, since you are the governor of Yanzhou, you naturally want to share the benefits of the Yanzhou trade market with the family of the Great Zhou, and allow the merchants of the Great Zhou to trade freely, presumably they will speak for you above the court." ”

Sun Liang's letter has made it clear that the reason why Jiang Mo has not acted is that in addition to checking Zhang Jinpeng's life again, he knows that business etiquette is not enough, and the market in Yanzhou is decided by Tian Dan himself, which is also a respect for Tian Dan.

Tian Dan looked at the carriage and Jiang Mo thought for a while, Jiang Mo was worried that he didn't explain: "The close trade exchanges will not only bring impetus to Yanzhou's economy, but also make His Majesty the Emperor understand that it is open to the Great Zhou, and it will make the family happy, why not do it for a win-win situation?" ”

"The old man knows." Tian Dan promised, it seemed that what he was thinking about just now was not to make profits, but Jiang Mo, so he took a long breath and said: "Then the prince and the ministers visited Zheng, Wang, Lu, and Li in Luoyang, right?" ”

Jiang Mo nodded, knowing that Tian Dan also helped Jiang Mo pave the way.

Tian Dan said to Jiang Mo: "Let's visit the Zheng family Zheng Yuanyu first, he is the Zheng family's spokesman in Luoyang, and he happens to have some connections with the Qi State on the way, so it should be best to talk......

Zheng Yuanyu, the official worship of the Ministry of Labor, is already the highest official position of the Zheng family in the dynasty, and the rest of the officials are mostly salt officials (the purchase and monopoly of salt, which also happens to be under the management of the Ministry of Industry), to put it bluntly, the Zheng family is more in business, especially the Dazhou licensed sand and gravel minerals, as well as the sale of grain and rice, and even wine shops.

The house is located in the southeast of the Imperial City, close to Suzaku Street, not too conspicuous, the gate and the internal courtyard structure are simple and ordinary, but if you look closely, the objects are very delicate and interesting, and it looks very low-key.

Although Zheng Yuanyu was more serious and unsmiling, he was very polite and did not have any hostility or prejudice towards Jiang Mo.

A few people saluted and took their seats in the inner hall, Jiang Mo also bowed his hand respectfully, "Thank you Uncle Zheng for your hospitality, my little nephew brought some Qi country specialties and came to visit!" ”

Zheng Yuanyu saw that Jiang Mo was dignified and polite, and he didn't pay attention to the gifts that Tian Dan asked his subordinates to bring, and even nodded with some concern: "Yes, it's not as ridiculous as the rumors."

Jiang Mo and Tian Dan appealed and were willing to open the trade market for the Zheng family in Yanzhou, and Jiang Mo also took out the first batch of fine salt that had only been shipped to Luoyang recently, "In addition to the business of grain, rice and ore, there is also refined salt from Qi State, which is unique in the world." ”

Zheng Yuanyu carefully rubbed the fine salt and was directly stunned, but he didn't seem to get into the topic, and sneered: "Hehe, I heard that it was the refined salt developed by the prince and the Sun family?" ”

Tian Dan had heard that Sun Liang's family would make fine salt, but when he saw that such fine salt was made, his eyes twitched, he knew that it was impossible to return to Jiaodong County to take charge of the salt and iron business, and he was troubled in his heart, but he couldn't attack in a foreign country...

Jiang Mo smiled slightly, "The little nephew doesn't learn anything, he just likes to read miscellaneous books and make small things." If Uncle Zheng likes it, I can also send some small items that I have made myself. ”

Zheng Yuanyu still nodded without a smile, "Oh? It's not a bad thing to have such a skill. ”

Tian Dan saw that Zheng Yuanyu was not dissatisfied, and said respectfully: "Then I and the prince came here, it is..."

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Yuanyu raised his hand to stop, "I know your intentions, so that people in the world can use this word, I will also try my best to speak for the son." ”

This unusually smooth visit made Jiang Mo and Tian Dan a little flustered, but Zheng Yuanyu was not a villain, so it was still worth being happy.

After chatting for half a stick of incense, they left the Zheng Mansion, and the two were about to visit Wang Zichao, the speaker of the Taiyuan Wang family, but after these few steps, an arrow suddenly came from nowhere, and after inserting it directly into Jiang Mo's curtain, Tian Dan reacted quickly and swung his gun to miss the arrow.

Qin Mu also quickly stepped forward to take down the arrow, "This is Da Zhou's arrow, and there is a note." ”

Jiang Mo poked his head out of the window, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, "What is written?" ”
