It was said that for this reason, of course Zhou Shixiong had to go home to meet his son. The little kid was only over a year old, so he knew nothing about daddy. He immediately started singing when he saw an unknown uncle, especially when he found that the leader of the rice class who provided food and drinks put him in this place. The uncle carried her in his arms and cried so hard.
Zhou Shixiong thought his son was unwell, so he checked it very carefully and found nothing wrong. The only explanation left was that he was afraid of life. "Haha, this kid is afraid of life." The son cried so sadly. As a biological mother, You Min certainly felt distressed, but in order to let the husband remember that there is still a family in Pingxiangzhou, it was necessary for the son to make some sacrifices.
"My son is almost two years old. My husband has only hugged me twice. Of course I can't remember it. It will definitely be much better if we see him more often." You Min hopes that Zhou Shixiong can return to Pingxiangzhou more often. It is not too much either because of emotion or reason. Zhou Shixiong He wiped his nose and giggled, determined not to accept this sentence.
After staying with his son for a long time, he helped Shimazu Minami check his body. Last year, he promised to give Shimazu Minami a child, and it was indeed detected that the egg was successfully fertilized. Unexpectedly, Shimazu Minami's belly did not get bigger in the end. Of course, Zhou Shixiong had to check it carefully to see. See what went wrong.
The examination results showed that Shimazu Minami was very healthy and had no pregnancy problems. Zhou Shixiong was immediately confused and couldn't figure out how such a thing could happen. It's a pity that it is not suitable for Shimazu Minami to be pregnant at this stage, otherwise Zhou Shixiong will definitely monitor the entire conception process to find out the reason for the last conception failure.
Two days later, Nguyen Phuc Bao and Guan Trong Quang met at Le Thi Villa to discuss the details of the covenant. Zhou Shixiong discussed more important issues with Nguyen Phu A Giang in the back house. "Auntie, what you said is true!"
Zhou Shixiong was very excited, and Ruan Phu Ajiang brought some bad news. Due to the support of Taiyuan Prefecture, Beijiang Prefecture and Quang Ninh Prefecture, Zheng Zai knew that it was impossible to force Lang Son Prefecture to withdraw from Beijiu Prefecture, unless he launched a war. At this stage, it was impossible for Zheng Zai to send troops to Lang Son Prefecture, and Nguyen Phuoc Shou of Tuyen Quang Prefecture was unable to attack Bac Giu Prefecture. For this reason, Zheng Zai put forward a new suggestion. There is a lot of content, and it only takes two words to put it all together, and everyone benefits from it.
In order to force Lang Son Prefecture to accept this proposal, Zheng Zai very generously divided Beijiu Prefecture into six parts, and all the prefectures involved in the matter had a share. The method of partitioning was that Ben Son went to Lang Son and Quang Ninh provinces, Kuy Kun went to Bac Giang and Thai Nguyen provinces, and Bac Giang city went to Thang Long and Tuyen Quang provinces. As for the Gaoping Mansion who really wanted to help, the master of the Gaoping Mansion will definitely cry with joy.
Of course Ruan Phuc Bao could not accept this new suggestion, but Zheng Lisheng, the once righteous head of Beijiang Mansion, suddenly did not want to see anyone. The executive Ruan Phuc Bao sent to Beijiang Mansion to contact him wrote a letter saying that he was under house arrest. Taiyuan Prefecture, which had been preparing to send troops to Xuanguang Prefecture, also became quiet. It is said that the whereabouts of some of the Taiyuan Prefecture soldiers at the border of Xuanguang Prefecture have become a mystery. The head of Quang Ninh Mansion was even more straightforward and sent people directly to Ruan Phuc Bao to ask how much he would pay for it if he gave up Benson Ruan Phuc Bao.
Now Nguyen Phuc is in trouble. He dares to fight against Thang Long and Tuyen Quang. He relies on these neighbors. Now the neighbors are interested in his backyard. If he still wants to monopolize Bac Giud, he must defeat all his opponents. Not to mention that Lang Son Prefecture does not have such an ability. Even if it does, it still has to weigh the consequences of starting a war with so many forces at the same time.
Ruan Phu Bao was originally very wary of Pingxiang Prefecture. Although he ceded Tingli Town to Zhou Shixiong, he made it clear that no troops were allowed to be stationed. Only now did he realize that Pingxiangzhou was sincerely allying with him to do business and make money together, and his neighbors had many ideas. In comparison, Pingxiangzhou was more reliable.
"Hong Chang, your adoptive father has no choice now. If you don't agree to this suggestion, you will offend everyone. If you really push the three palaces to the side of Zheng Zai and Ruan Phuc Shou, even Lang Son Palace will not be able to save it!" Ruan Phuc Ajiang was very worried. She blamed herself. She believed that she had dragged her eldest brother into a road of no return. It was hard to say whether she had slandered Zhou Shixiong or not.
"Auntie, there is no dead end in this world. There will always be a way to solve it." Zhou Shixiong couldn't think of any good way to solve the problem for the time being. He could still say a few comforting words. As for whether Ruan Phu Ajiang believed it or not, Zhou Shixiong didn't believe it anyway. .
That night, Zhou Shixiong told Guan Chongguang the news. Guan Chongguang had already learned about the matter from Ruan Phuc Bao. He twirled his beard and said, "This matter is difficult to say and easy to say. It just depends on what Lord Ruan Phuc wants."
"How do you say it?" Zhou Shixiong asked immediately after thinking about it all afternoon but couldn't think of a way.
"If Master Ruan Phuc wants a firm ally, he can modify this proposal and give Kui Kun and Benson to three allies, and he can monopolize Beiji City. Since he wants to compromise, why not find a way that is more beneficial to him!" Chongguang's words made Zhou Shixiong's eyes light up. Yes, Zheng Zai could make a fuss about the Beizhu Mansion, and Ruan Fubao could do the same. And it is more real than Zheng Zai, a nihilistic picture cake. After all, Beijia Mansion is in the hands of Ruan Fubao.
Guan Chongguang¡¯s desperate move inspired Zhou Shixiong¡¯s imagination, and he started writing a plan. This timeIt is a plan on how to sell Beizhi Mansion at a good price. Early the next morning, Zhou Shixiong came to Ruan Phu Ajiang with a plan. He must first win the support of Nguyen Phu A Giang, and then convince Nguyen Phu Bao. If this order is messed up, half the result with twice the result is not bad, but accomplishing nothing is the most terrible thing.
"Auction of Beijiangfu? What does it mean?" It is not surprising that Ruan Phuoc Ajiang does not know what auction is. The earliest large-scale auction in history occurred in Europe in 1660, which was still several decades away.
¡°An auction is the sale of goods through bidding, and the purpose is that the one with the highest bid gets it.¡± Zhou Shixiong briefly explained the meaning of the auction, and then took out the plan and handed it to Ruan Phu Ajiang. "My idea is that since Lang Son Province cannot monopolize Bac Giu Province, why not split Bac Giu Province into countless parts and sell them to designated people. For example, the minerals in Bac Giu Province can be sold to wealthy businessmen who specialize in mineral trading, and For example, bamboo wood can also be sold to businessmen who deal in bamboo wood. As for the dominance of Benson and Kui Kun, selling it to Beijiang, Taiyuan and Guangning Prefecture can not only solve Zheng Zai's conspiracy, but also bring in the three families. The relationship between the government and Lang Son Province can also raise a sum of funds for Lang Son Province, so why not kill three birds with one stone?"
The scene described by Zhou Shixiong made Ruan Phuoc Ajiang's eyes shine. It seems that losing part of Beijiang Mansion is not a bad thing if he can really do what he said. "Your adoptive father must make the decision on this matter. Let's go find him."
Ruan Phuc Bao had a good sleep last night. This was the best sleep he had had in the past month. When Guan Chongguang learned that Lang Son Mansion was in trouble, he did not ask for benefits. Instead, he negotiated according to the conditions agreed earlier and quickly signed a new covenant. Guan Chongguang's generosity made Ruan Phu Bao hate his neighbor's betrayal even more. After venting his anger on a maid, he slept peacefully.
Seeing his younger sister and adopted son coming to say hello, Ruan Fubao was in a good mood and asked them to have breakfast together, "Today's mung bean porridge is very good, do you want a bowl?"
"Thank you to my adoptive father. Hongchang has something to report to his adoptive father." Zhou Shixiong originally thought that the main force in persuading Ruan Phu Bao was Ruan Phu Ajiang, and he was a gangster who was used to hiding behind the scenes. But Ruan Phu Ajiang didn't see it that way. She only agreed to help and refused to be the main force. Maybe it was because her previous suggestions had encountered unforeseen troubles, and she was a little scared.
"Sit down and talk." Ruan Phu Bao continued to drink his mung bean porridge, waiting to hear what Ji Hongchang wanted to say.
"My foster father, my aunt informed Hongchang that there was a problem in Langshan Mansion. Hongchang racked his brains to come up with a solution. If my foster father did not disdain Hongchang's lack of knowledge, Hongchang would be embarrassed." Zhou Shixiong's opening remarks were extremely low-key, Nguyen Phu A Giang knew who this guy was and could not bear to laugh until he was secretly hurt. Ruan Fubao didn't know, and said very kindly, "Hongchang doesn't need to be restrained. No matter whether it works or not, just tell me, my adoptive father will not blame you."
Zhou Shixiong's suggestion was extremely unreasonable, but after reading the plan, Nguyen Phuc Bao felt that it was very feasible. The most important point is that once this plan is successful, it will not only tie the three provinces tightly to the chariot of Lang Son Province, but also make the plan more feasible. It also gave Zheng Zai and Ruan Phuc Shou a loud mouth. This alone made Ruan Phuc Bao ready to move.
"Hongchang, if there is an auction like this, are you afraid that several businessmen will collude to lower the price?" Ruan Fubao's business sense is much stronger than his political ability. He knew the possibility of joining forces to lower the price before even seeing the auction, which is amazing.
"Father, you can involve Pingxiangzhou. Pingxiangzhou is very interested in iron ore and coal mines. If the wealthy businessmen of the Northern Dynasty deliberately lower the prices, they will simply benefit Pingxiangzhou." Zhou Shixiong helped in front of Ruan Fu Ajiang. When Ping Xiangzhou spoke, Ruan Fu Ajiang smiled and said nothing, only watching how he could help himself benefit.
"Yes, Hongchang's suggestion is good. With the dragon crossing the river in Pingxiangzhou, I see how they can work together." Ruan Fubao's such a big reaction made Zhou Shixiong look at him with suspicion. He didn't understand how those businessmen could offend his adoptive father. Ruan Phu Ajiang knew the reason. In order to support Zheng Song's rise to power, Ruan Phu Bao also worked as a wealthy businessman for a period of time and was bullied miserably by the wealthy businessmen of the Le Dynasty. This was because he felt resentment after remembering the hardships of the past.
"Hongchang, Benson and Kuiqun have designated to sell to the three governments. We have sold all the minerals and mountains. They won't agree, right?" In the last part of the plan, Zhou Shixiong spent a lot of time discussing how to sell the governing rights. Ruan Zhou Shixiong really never thought about Fu Bao's worries. He pondered for a while, "Father, what we are auctioning is the management rights. Taxes and other things still have to be paid. If the three houses get the right to rule Benson and Kuiqun, they can also collect taxes from the merchants. It should have no impact, right?" ?¡±
Zhou Shixiong is not the master of the three palaces, so he cannot consider the issue from their perspective. As for whether the three palaces will accept this condition, Zhou Shixiong thinks that we can talk about it first. If they don't accept it, it won't be too late to find another way.
"Brother, if Bac Giang Prefecture puts up a town for auction, and all the minerals in the town belong to the local wealthy families, will eldest brother buy it?" Ruan Phu Ajiang finally spoke, and easily erased the two men's biggest worries. , indeed there is a political??The style of a master.
