Chapter 356: A Ming Civil Servant Who Became and Established
From the fact that Zhang Guan always led the topic to Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanji, Chen Kan already knew his purpose.
Zhang Guan's acting skills are very good, but Chen Kan doesn't want to play with him all the time.
Sure enough, seeing that Chen Kan stopped talking, Zhang Guan no longer said those nonsense, but made a contemplative gesture and asked indifferently: "I heard that the two highnesses have recently been researching a new thing called cement, and after it is made, its hardness is comparable to that of stone, but the price is much lower than that of stone?" ”
Zhang Guan had a showdown, and Chen Kan didn't have the need to hide it, so he nodded and responded: "Yes, there is indeed such a thing." ”
At the moment when Chen Kan confirmed, Zhang Guan's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
Chen Kan looked at Zhang Guan with a smile and asked, "Lord Zhang called Ben Hou over today, is it just for this little thing of cement?" ”
Such straightforward words suddenly made Zhang Guan's face show a look of embarrassment.
However, after all, Zhang Guan has been a figure in the officialdom for many years, and he quickly adjusted his state, and said to Chen Kan: "Don't hide it from the Hou Ye, this official is indeed coming for cement, Your Majesty has given a strict order to this official, so that this official must build Beijing City in the shortest possible time, in addition to the Army Academy, the emperor's mausoleum will also be built together, so many large projects will be started together, and the materials such as masonry and stone needed are not a small number." ”
"Oh!"
Chen Kan nodded as if he didn't understand, and asked, "So, what does Lord Zhang mean is that he wants to cooperate with Benhou and let Benhou provide cheap cement?" ”
"Yes, if the Hou Ye can provide enough cement for the official, the official is sure that these heroes will be completed within three years, and at that time, the Hou Ye who provided these raw materials will be the first hero."
After painting a large cake, Zhang Guan looked at Chen Kan with a blushing face and a heartbeat, as if he was sure that Chen Kan would definitely agree.
When Chen Kan heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but sneer.
This Zhang Guan really has a good calculation, and he doesn't mention the word money.
In the past, this kind of pie painting has always been Chen Kan's patent, but I didn't expect to eat a big cake today.
Chen Kan showed a thoughtful expression on his face, took a piece of jerky from the table and chewed it in his mouth, and after a while, Chen Kan frowned and said, "I don't know what kind of price Master Zhang can give?" ”
"Price?"
Zhang Guan was stunned for a moment, and then his face suddenly sank.
Without waiting for Zhang Guan to speak, Chen Kan teased: "If Ben Hou is not mistaken, the silver money allocated by the national treasury for the construction of Beijing City should be about to bottom out, right?" ”
"Hehe, how can Master Hou carry such pickled things as silver coins, don't be polluted by the smell of copper, drink and drink."
Zhang Guan's expression changed without any trace of PS, and he hurriedly poured wine for Chen Kan.
Chen Kan smiled and shook his head: "Lord Zhang's words are wrong, money is a good thing, Ben Hou is a layman, and his favorite thing is copper stinky pickled things." ”
He didn't expect Zhang Guan to hit him with the idea of an empty glove white wolf, and I have to say that his courage is commendable.
It's a pity that Chen Kan is not wronged, and he has no habit of eating cakes.
Sensing the dissatisfaction in Chen Kan's words, Zhang Guan hurriedly smiled and said: "It's the official who is ruining the scenery, tonight on the night of Yuanzheng, the official shouldn't mention such a dirty thing to disturb Hou Ye Yaxing, the official will punish himself with a cup, and he will punish himself with a cup, hehe!" ”
Chen Kan looked at Zhang Guan coldly, and he found that the officials of the Ming Dynasty had a problem, that is, they were both upright and standing.
I want to take the cement from my own hands at no cost, and I want to establish a clear image in front of myself.
Not much off from a bitch.
The atmosphere was a little stalemate for a while.
Zhang Guan had an embarrassed smirk on his face, and Chen Kan had completely lost interest in drinking.
Cement is indeed not a valuable thing, if Zhang Guan is willing to surrender himself to give him an IOU, Chen Kan will not mind giving him some for nothing.
But Zhang Guan now wants to treat him as a wronged leader, and Chen Kan will not get used to him.
After thinking for a while, Chen Kan suddenly had an idea in his heart.
He slowly drank the wine in the cup, looked at Zhang Guan coldly, and said: "Lord Zhang, Ben Hou will not hide it from you, Ben Hou made cement, in order to get a piece of the pie in the construction of Beijing, so even if you don't come to ask Ben Hou today, this cement Ben Hou will provide it to you." ”
Zhang Guan's expression froze, and then he asked with a smile: "I don't know how Master Hou plans to trade with this official?" ”
The prostitution was not successful, and Zhang Guan now had to make up his mind from the price.
It is a little bit to be able to lower a little, after all, his money is really not much.
Chen Kan shook his head, smiled and said: "Lord Zhang, doing things for the imperial court, it is cheesy to talk about money, how to trade, of course, it is for nothing." ”
"Given away for nothing?"
Zhang Guan's face suddenly showed a suspicious look, he was still talking about money just now, and now he has to give it away for nothing, there won't be any conspiracy, right?
Chen Kan smiled and said: "Of course it's for nothing, how can I say that His Majesty is also Benhou's father-in-law, and his old man wants to build Beijing, can I, who is a son-in-law, not support it?" ”
Looking at Chen Kan, whose attitude suddenly changed, Zhang Guan had a sense of unreality that separated time and space.
So, what this Hou Ye said is true?
After a long time, Zhang Guan still didn't want to believe that this was true, after all, Chen Kan's "ugly" face was still vivid.
He was about to speak, but Chen Kan continued: "However, the cement needed to build Beijing City is not a small number, so Ben Hou hopes that Lord Zhang can give Ben Hou some help when necessary. ”
Sure enough, there is no free lunch in the world, and the conditions are waiting for him here.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Guan asked, "I don't know what help the Hou Ye needs from this official." ”
Chen Kan said slowly: "It's not a big deal, I just want to ask Lord Zhang to leave a few shops for Ben Hou in the city, and Ben Hou plans to do some small business after the construction of Beijing City." In addition, since Benhou wants to provide cement for the construction of Beijing, he must have a reason, such as my Chen Kanzhong's monarchy. That's all, it's all trivial little things, what does Master Zhang think? ”
Zhang Guan was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief: "That's all? ”
Chen Kan nodded affirmatively: "That's all!" ”
Zhang Guan always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong.
Because of these conditions, they are not conditions at all compared to the materials that Chen Kan provided for free to build a city.
"Just this little thing, if there is no problem on Mr. Zhang's side, when the snow melts, he can call someone to come to Benhou's cement factory to pull materials."
Chen Kan's expression now was exactly the same as Zhang Guan's, looking at him firmly, as if he was not worried about him disagreeing at all.
Of course, in fact, Zhang Guan has no room to refuse.
As the saying goes, a penny is difficult to defeat a hero, and the household department is not a good man and a woman, and it is much more difficult for him to ask the household department for money than to prostitute Chen Kan.
"Okay, this little matter can be dealt with now, and the official must leave a few shops in prime positions for Hou Ye."
After a moment, Zhang Guan nodded in response.
He was sure that there was a trap in Chen Kan's words, but as long as he was stupid enough, he could pretend not to know.
Chen Kan smiled: "In this way, Ben Hou congratulated Lord Zhang in advance on his great achievements." ”
"Hou Ye laughed, if there was no Hou Ye, the official could only look at the messy Beijing City and worry, and talk about any credit."
Zhang Guan also smiled, as long as Chen Kan was willing to let him prostitute for nothing, he didn't mind giving out some credit.
Anyway, the credit for building Beijing is big enough, and he can't eat it alone.
When the goal of both sides is achieved, it is inevitable to push the cup and change the lamp.
Everyone is a fox, and it's not easy to deal with this little scene.
In the end, Chen Kan was carried into the carriage by the Hou Mansion's subordinates.
Zhang Guan is not much better, he is so drunk that he is a mess, as for whether he is really drunk or fake drunk, it is the opinion of the benevolent and the wise.
When Chen Kan returned to the house, it was already the third watch.
Yuan Zheng was drunk on the night, and naturally he was inevitably preached by Zhu Yuelan.
But Chen Kan is still in a good mood.
The exchange of interests with Zhang Guan gave Chen Kan the pleasure of standing on the commanding heights of IQ and crushing others.
Of course, Chen Kan would not be so kind to let Zhang Guanbai prostitute his things.
After the construction of the city of Beijing, he will understand what is called free is the most expensive.
But by then, it was too late for him to regret it.
That's right, Chen Kan's so-called head is naturally the royal naming right, is there a better spokesperson in the world than the royal?
At that time, everyone will know that the cement made by Chen Kan is a good thing that the royal family has used and said is good.
There are so many cities in Daming that need to be rebuilt, what is the profit of a Beijing city, Chen Kan's goal is Daming.
At present, only the bank and the military academy have named the four words of the Ming Dynasty.
And the perfumes and soaps under the jurisdiction of the Chen Mansion do not have this honor, the royal family has not done anything, and half of the profits have to be shared by the royal family.
Now that cement has a royal origin, Chen Kan can make up for the profits from perfume and soap from cement.
This time, Chen Kan is ready to monopolize the profits of cement.
As for Zhu Di, he has built a Beijing city for him, and Chen Kan doesn't believe that he still has the face to ask for his own molecules.
Afterwards, Zhu Di will be angry because of Zhang Guan's royal name, Chen Kan doesn't know, but Zhang Guan's career will definitely be affected.
But he brought it all upon himself.
As long as he is willing to take the normal trading path, Chen Kan is embarrassed to cheat him like this.
Nothing was said all night.
When Chen Kan opened his eyes again, it was already noon the next day.
Zhu Yuelan went out of the house early in the morning, and it is said that she went to the Lantern Festival with a group of noble ladies, and the three little children were not at home.
So Chen Kan ushered in a rare day of cleanliness.
Meimei ate a big meal, and Chen Kan was about to go to the Jinshui River to take a walk to eliminate food, but found that Yun Cheng, whose face was full of red light, was walking towards him.
So Chen Kan stopped.
It is not difficult to see from Yun Cheng's expression that he is definitely going to make a fortune today.
As expected, the first thing Yun Cheng said when he approached him was: "Wahahahaha, Master Hou, we have made a fortune, we have made a fortune!" ”
Chen Kan seriously corrected Yun Cheng's words: "It's not us, it's me, I'm rich." ”
