Dark Palm Jiaozhi Chapter 36: Do a good job for Ji Hongchang

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    As the saying goes, one word wakes up the dreamer. Zhou Shixiong did not realize that he had gone astray at all. He was still complacent about the smooth progress of the previously set plan. After Ruan Phuc Ajiang reminded him, he realized that there was a big problem!

    It is true that Pingxiang Prefecture belongs to the food town of Zhennan Hou Mansion, but the food town is not equal to the territory. The power originally granted to Zhou Shixiong by Emperor Chongzhen disappeared naturally with the death of Zhou Shixiong. His son Zhou Hu only inherited the title of Zhennan Hou.  The lord and the city did not inherit the power that Zhou Shixiong had originally held.

    Now everything in Pingxiangzhou is in accordance with Zhou Shixiong's wishes, because the military and political affairs of Pingxiangzhou are in the hands of Zhou Shixiong. If one day the imperial court orders Chongguang to be promoted to the capital, regardless of whether Guan Chongguang accepts it or not, Pingxiangzhou Zhizhou will definitely  Will be replaced.  In the same way, Zhou Er and Zhou Wu, two thousand-household members of Zhennanwei and Pingxiangwei, may also be promoted and transferred. At that time, why should Zhou Shixiong stop this change?

    The more I think about Zhou Shixiong, the more I feel chilled. He seemed to be very prosperous in the Northern Dynasty, but the fundamental support for his glory was Pingxiangzhou, and Pingxiangzhou could be taken away from him at any time.  Without Pingxiangzhou's financial and military power, who would care about Zhou Shixiong? It would be a shame to regard him as a miracle doctor.

    "Why did my aunt teach me?" Zhou Shixiong understood that his situation was not as good as he imagined. He bowed to Ruan Phu Ajiang very respectfully and asked for advice on what to do.

    "Hongchang is a good name. Why don't we simply forget Zhou Ziqi's identity and become Hongchang from now on?" Ruan Phu Ajiang did not give Zhou Shixiong any advice, but instead advised him to abandon the past and start a new life.

    If Zhou Shixiong could be a new man, he would have done it long ago, but the problem is that it doesn¡¯t work!  His purpose in causing trouble in Vietnam and North Korea was not to develop here, but to find a way out for the future. He had long determined that Vietnam and North Korea was just a springboard, and leaving the mainland through Vietnam and North Korea was the ultimate goal.  It's okay to let him help Ruan Phu Bao, but if he sells himself to Ruan Phu Bao, it will never be possible for him to become a local emperor like the head of the palace in the Northern Vietnam Dynasty.

    "Auntie, I'll tell you the truth. Since I can abandon the splendor and wealth of the third-class princes of the Ming Dynasty, I won't have any thoughts about the palace masters of the Yuebei Dynasty. The reason why I set up this place is actually to train sailors for going to sea in the future.  Prepare for the ocean." Zhou Shixiong honestly confessed to Ruan Phu Ajiang that he needed Ruan Phu Ajiang's help, and his thoughts did not hurt his adoptive father in any way, and he was not afraid to tell the truth.

    "Why?" Ruan Fu Ajiang was very curious. Why did Zhou Shixiong, the Marquis of Zhennan who had just entered the glorious life, give up his aristocratic status that could be passed down for generations and come to Yue and Northern Dynasties to mess around?

    "Well, it's a long story." In order to win the trust of Nguyen Phu A Giang, his god-mother-in-law and god-aunt, Zhou Shixiong brought the slaves into the imperial territory. Daming's reaction and strength were all told, and he had no intention of keeping the motherland secret.

    "The Ming Dynasty is so miserable?!" Ruan Phu Ajiang couldn't believe that the Ming Dynasty was in such a state of decline. With only a hundred thousand soldiers and horses, the slaves were able to toil in the capital for several months, and they also plundered a large amount of materials, money and people.  This news is really shocking.

    ¡°It¡¯s hard to say whether the Ming Dynasty was in ruins, but it is certain that the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty was hopeless. The capital of a country suffered heavy losses, and the ministers of the court were still entangled in the theoretical issue of the nobles and the weak. They didn¡¯t seem to worry at all about not being protected by force.  The Ming Dynasty was invaded and occupied. What happened in the past few months seems to have become history and has nothing to do with the current world. Alas, how could I dare to stay in such a place? Running as far as I can is the right way. Unexpectedly, Emperor Chongzhen  They sent people to arrest me and bring me to Beijing, so that I had to fake my death to avoid trouble." Zhou Shixiong said everything that needed to be said. He couldn't be cool now and was frightened that he might become a rootless person.

    "What I want to say is still the same. If you give up the shameful status of Zhou Ziqi and be a good Ji Hongchang, you will have everything you want, and maybe it will be better than expected." After inquiring about the gossip, Ruan Fu'a  Jiang returned to the topic and reiterated his point of view.  The problem is that Zhou Shixiong couldn't figure out how to be Ji Hongchang well, and looked at Ruan Phu Ajiang with a confused face, waiting for her to give him clear instructions.

    Ruan Fu Ajiang smiled and shook his head, "You, you, you are usually so smart and decisive, why don't you understand now! Zhou Ziqi is nominally dead. If you no longer regard yourself as the master of Pingxiangzhou, the Marquis of Daming,  Sir, wouldn¡¯t Ji Hongchang¡¯s status as a socialist son of Lang Son Prefecture be better? You can run business routes legitimately. Even if you want an island to build ships and operate shipping, it¡¯s just a matter of words. The Marquis of Ming Dynasty wants a cross-country  I'm afraid it would take a big battle to build the island in the Northern Dynasties, but if the Lang Son government wants an island, just tell the head of Quang Ninh Palace and you can get it, don't you understand?"

    I understand, it turns out that Ruan Phu Ajiang is talking about an identity issue. No matter how noble the name Zhou Shixiong is in the Ming Dynasty, he is still a foreigner in the eyes of Ruan Phu Ajiang.  Ji Hongchang is different. The adopted son of the head of Lang Son Prefecture, even though his bloodline is still from the Ming Dynasty, his identity is already from Jiaozhi.  With the relationship between Nguyen Phuc Pao and Chen Nhat Pen, it is really a good idea to help the adopted son get an uninhabited desert island.Just a few words, it doesn't matter even if this adopted son is from Ming Dynasty.

    "Would it be bad for the adoptive father to do this?" If Zhou Shixiong manages Ji Hongchang's identity seriously, he will definitely take more power from Ruan Fubao. In this case, Ruan Fubao will suffer great losses.  Because Zhou Shixiong's purpose is to leave rather than take root, under this premise, the more he takes from Ruan Fubao, the greater Ruan Fubao's losses will naturally be.

    "It's wrong of you to think that way. You took Tingli Town from your adoptive father, but you gave him a mansion. I don't think anyone would be happy with this kind of handover. As long as you help your adoptive father take down Xuanguang  Mansion, what does it matter if I just give Lang Son Mansion to you when the time comes, don¡¯t keep trying to get into trouble." Ruan Phu Ajiang laughed and cursed, she was very happy in her heart, no matter it was true or false, Zhou Shixiong thought that he could not lie to his eldest brother,  This adopted son is right.

    Zhou Shixiong nodded, yes, as long as he brings more benefits to Ruan Fubao, everything will be easier.  "Auntie, the child has learned a lesson." Zhou Shixiong thought through his joints, knelt down and kowtowed to Ruan Phu Ajiang, thanking Ruan Phu Ajiang for waking him up and avoiding big losses in the future.

    "Get up, I still have something to tell you." Ruan Phu Ajiang raised his hand to ask Zhou Shixiong to stand up, and then took out a contract, "Be a villain first, then a gentleman. No matter what happens in the future, I will take 10% of your business."  , I will pay you as much as you should take, and the interest cannot be short of mine."

    Ruan Phu Ajiang acted like he would rely on you to support him in his old age in the future. Zhou Shixiong felt very heart-warming. His eyes turned red and he knelt down to Ruan Phu Ajiang again. "My aunt's great kindness and virtue will always be in my heart. No matter what happens in the future, I will always cherish my aunt's kindness."  As a biological mother." Ruan Fu Ajiang was nearly fifty years old and looked after Li Jie as his biological daughter, otherwise he would not take care of Zhou Shixiong like this.

    "I did all this just to make Tiao jump better. You are his husband. If I don't help you, who will I help?" Ruan Fu Ajiang stood up and walked to Zhou Shixiong's side, patting Zhou Shixiong's shoulder gently.  , "As long as you treat Tuitiao well and don't forget the friendship between father and son, I will support you in whatever you do." This was Ruan Phu Ajiang's guarantee to Zhou Shixiong. With these words, Zhou Shixiong was really relieved.

    Although Nguyen Phu A Giang helped Zhou Shixiong point out the loopholes, Zhou Shixiong still needs to do the work of filling the loopholes himself.  Zhou Shixiong ordered Ma San to send a letter to Guan Chongguang and Li Fusheng, asking them to come to Lang Son City as soon as possible to discuss matters.

    Since he planned to do a good job for Ji Hongchang seriously, Zhou Shixiong had to change his existing attitude. Early the next morning, Zhou Shixiong asked Ruan Fu to give him a good morning and took the initiative to arrange work.  "Father, Hongchang has thought clearly about it, but he will do his best when he is assigned."

    "Okay, since Hongchang is determined to do something, I will leave this auction to you. As a father, I can only trust you to handle it. After all, this is your first initiative." It was inevitable for Ruan Fubao to hand over the auction to Zhou Shixiong. Although he  The plan was turned over, but he had no idea how to operate it. Even a knowledgeable former wealthy businessman like him couldn't figure it out. If not Zhou Shixiong, who else could it be handed over to?

    "Father, Hongchang doesn't know much about the wealthy merchants of the Northern Dynasties in Vietnam. I have no idea which one to hire, so I would like to ask my foster father to arrange for someone with well-connected connections to help." Zhou Shixiong's request was very reasonable, and Ruan Fubao was a little more cautious.  I want to assign senior executives to him.

    Zhou Shixiong returned to the room, and after a while the senior executive came to report. The senior executive was just the housekeeper in charge of the outer house. Hearing that the master told him to work with Master Ji from now on, it was equivalent to a new master, so how could he dare to be disrespectful.

    "Executive, what do you call me by your name?" Zhou Shixiong has known this executive for a long time, but never knew his name. Now that we want to work together, it is necessary to understand each other.

    "Master Ji, you're welcome. My name is Gao Fu. I have been ordered by the master to work with Master Ji from now on. I don't dare to be an executive or anything like that. Master Ji can just call me Gao Fu." Gao Fu is a man with clear features, Ji Hongchang  There was a reason for his sudden favor. He had already inquired about the news. Although it was impossible to know the specific details, it must be related to the master's visit to Taiyuan Mansion. He must have done a big favor to the master in Taiyuan Mansion, otherwise there would be no need for the master to pamper him so much.

    Gao Fu guessed most of the facts based on some rumors and was a master at making up stories.  Fortunately, making up stories is just Gao Fu's personal hobby. He can serve as the foreign affairs steward in the Palace Lord's Mansion because of his social and entertainment skills. After being a steward for so many years, he has a thorough knowledge of the wealthy businessmen of the Vietnamese and Northern Dynasties.  Zhou Shixiong gave him the task of drawing up the list and asked him to write down all the famous miners and timber merchants in the Northern Vietnam, so that Zhou Shixiong could prepare the invitations.

    In fact, Zhou Shixiong's work is not complicated. Ruan Phu Bao visited Quang Ninh, Beijiang and Taiyuan Prefectures in succession. Even if he did not attract anyone's attention at first, Beijiang Prefecture was the base of resistance against Zheng Zai. Not only did Zheng Zai arrange  There were people here to monitor Zheng Lisheng, and many forces who were ready to make a choice also arranged spies. As a result, Ruan Phu Bao's high-profile visit spread throughout the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Accordingly, the word auction appeared for the first time in various  people¡¯s mouths.
