Chapter 142

Zhang Zhou was not surprised to be present at this time of year. It is reasonable for such a well-known tycoon to attend the prince's wedding banquet. Now the two countries have extensive cooperation, and with the help of Zhang Zhou, his silk can enter the Xirong market. This profit is not small!

"Lord Hou has made frequent moves in Suzhou and began to officially march into the southern ten prefectures?"

"It's not much of a March. It's mainly to make some articles on the sales of Zexiang and Hezhou lie products. After all, there is the most folk silver!"

"This is an inevitable trend. On behalf of Jinyin lane, I would like to congratulate the Marquis on the further development of Kyushu business!"

"Hahaha, brother Duan, no matter when, win-win cooperation is my purpose!"

"The Marquis still has a broad vision! He still needs to be friendly and make money in business. It's no good being too arrogant and domineering!"

Zhang Zhou knows who Duan season secretly refers to. There has been a lot of friction between Jinyin lane and Xinglong club recently, but it is also normal. He does not intend to join in. When the family still have bowls and basins to collide, not to mention the commercial competition with interests.

"Shopping malls are like battlefields. There are no disputes and contradictions, but they are abnormal!"

"Also, if you don't have an opponent, it's too boring!"

"I believe that there is a section of second brother's strategy in Jinyin lane, which will become stronger and stronger!"

"Thank you for your kind words! This time, Jinyin Lane plans to get investment in before the Hezhou double meeting. I need more help from you!"

"No problem! I first welcome brother Duan's insightful investment!"

"How about giving me the right to sell Xirong jewelry in Qingzhou and Fengming Prefecture?"

Zhang Zhou did not hesitate.

"OK! But you have to add some chips!"

"What chips?"

"Help me..."

The two sides have completed the investment cooperation of millions of Liang with gentle wind, light rain and lively conversation. They get what they need and everyone is happy

The two were chatting vigorously when they heard someone shouting softly.

"Zhang Zhou!"

Zhang Zhou did not have to turn around and heard who she was, but she turned around and put on a look of surprise. The compliment said, "it was the royal highness of the princess!"

After the ceremony at the end of the season, he left with interest. Leave Zhang Zhou alone and continue to kneel.

Zhang Zhou, who had not been allowed to get up for a long time, asked softly, "Your Highness, it seems that Wei Chen has not offended your highness?"

"Oh, where did Kyushu Hou say that?" Zhao Qixuan said, looking at Zhang Zhou kneeling in front of him.

"There are so many people coming and going here. Wei Chen always kneels like this. Isn't it a great occasion?"

"Oh, the palace has forgotten that your internal injury hasn't been cured yet, has it?"

That said, she didn't mean to let him get up. As for whether others could see it, she didn't care.

Besides, people who see this scene will wisely and consciously avoid it. A high-ranking Princess and a notorious Marquis, even if they stand near, they are afraid of being misunderstood by these two bad people. If they come to settle accounts in the future, who will dare to watch?

"Unexpectedly, your highness still remembers Weichen's injury. Weichen really..."

But I found that Zhao Qixuan still didn't want to get up. I felt something wrong. I looked up at Zhao Qixuan and saw that she was looking at herself with cold eyes and muttering in her heart: what's the matter? Do you have to force me to sweat a little and blackmail you?

Zhao Qixuan snorted softly and said coldly, "after returning to Beijing, I didn't trust someone's injury, so I wrote to master kongche to ask about the situation. As a result, master kongche replied and told me that the person had been in good condition and had no sequelae!"

Zhang Zhou felt pain in his head and felt empty in his heart. Why couldn't the old bald head be more clever? He hurriedly explained: "this is a hidden danger in his body. For example, Wei Chen can't catch cold and eat spicy... ER!"

Before she had finished making up her speech, Zhao Qixuan squatted down and stared at Zhang Zhou. She couldn't tell whether she was disappointed or angry. Zhang Zhou couldn't help feeling guilty for a moment when she looked at her. She was busy lowering her head and stopped talking.

"Zhang Zhou, the palace hates that someone uses my trust to cheat me! Do you know?"

Perhaps Zhang Zhou didn't feel nervous when he had more contact with big people. He was more ashamed of being exposed for his tricks. He whispered, "Your Highness, I didn't mean to deceive your highness. Alas, what I said is true!"

"What do you say?"

"It is the beginning of a lie, and it must need more lies to maintain!"

"Hehe, do you still know this truth?"

Zhang Zhou raised his head again and stared boldly into Zhao Qixuan's eyes. At this moment, he felt it necessary to prove his sincerity with calm eyes!

"Your Highness, if you really want to deceive your highness, I believe it's no problem to ask him to cover up for me based on my friendship with Master Kong Che! But I didn't tell him this at all!"

"What do you want to say?"

"It shows that I lied at that time. It was really a helpless move, and I didn't really deceive your highness!"

"Hum, the master is a man of great virtue. How can he collude with you?"

"It's not collusion, but to help cover up. For example, if you don't know, maybe, maybe, such words are not a lie for the monks!"

Zhao Qixuan had almost never been looked at so directly by anyone. He first felt a little unnatural. Perhaps he recognized his words, stood up quickly and said, "this is not the reason why you can deceive me!"

"Your Highness, I admit that lying is wrong, but it depends on the reason! One may be the crime of beheading, and the other is a white lie that won't hurt anyone. Which one do you want me to choose?"

"Kill your head, who wants to kill your head?"

"What I'm talking about is just a possibility. Before I went to dachaoyun temple, your majesty had a will that I could see it only when I went to dachaoyun temple. I was so worried about your Highness's safety that I hurried to see your highness when I arrived at dachaoyun temple. As a result, I forgot the holy decree. When I was talking with your highness, I suddenly remembered it for fear of missing a big event and causing a big crime. I was so afraid that I couldn't do it He made up an excuse to leave and hurried back to see the imperial edict! It was indeed his fault, but at that time, he didn't understand his Highness's kind and generous character. He really didn't dare to tell the truth and didn't deliberately fool his highness. Is that excusable? "

At the same time, I didn't forget to put on a hat of "kindness and generosity" for Zhao Qixuan!

"That won't work. Do you know how long I've been worried about you?"

Zhao Qixuan believed his words in her heart, but she was full of grievances. She couldn't help saying what she said.

As soon as this remark came out, the four people present had different expressions. Qing'e is a little hard to believe. Ye Baimei shows a trace of helplessness. Zhang Zhou is a little stunned. Zhao Qixuan feels that she has made a mistake!

In embarrassment, Zhang Zhou suddenly said, "Your Highness just said which little bastard worried you? Let Wei Chen clean him up for you!"

I don't know if Zhang Zhou really didn't hear clearly, or was really stupid, or was slow to respond. Fortunately, he alleviated the situation. Zhao Qixuan turned around, turned his back to Zhang Zhou and said faintly, "that bastard naturally has his own house to clean up. It's not up to you!"

"Yes, yes, but your Highness has a lot, and there's no need to worry too much about that bastard. He's a worthless little man. It's very worthless to be angry for him!"

Zhao Qixuan suddenly chuckled and said, "ha ha, Zhang Zhou, as long as the palace is happy, we will not let him go, you know?"

"Ha ha, your highness is happy!" Zhang Zhou was embarrassed.

"Get up!"

"Thank you, your Highness"

"Qing'e, leave with me for a while. Zhang Zhou, you wait here. Jin Laoyou wants to talk about business with you!"

"Wei Chen knows!"

Seeing Lin Lang go far, Zhang Zhou rubbed his knees and recalled the conversation just now. There was always a bad feeling in his heart. I hope he was wrong! People say that women are the bane of beauty. Is it true that goods like me are the meat and potatoes in this era? I don't think so. Who is princess Linglang? He is also a man who has expanded the territory for three thousand miles and has all-round talents. He must be trying to win me over. Hum! I won't be easily moved! How did Qing'e say that: it would be a big mistake to think that such behavior could buy me off!

Just as he was thinking, a very slow but clear voice interrupted him. It's golden oil!

"Oh, it's elder Jin. It's impolite. I was just thinking about it. I was distracted!"

"You don't have to be polite, sir. You have to be busy when you do big things. It's the old man who bothers you!"

"Where, where, I first met my elder at the Zexiang bidding meeting. Suzhou disaster relief heard that the elder also went, but I didn't have the chance to meet. It's also my younger generation's honor to meet here today. I feel that my elder seems thinner, but he looks very good!"

"People are old, lack of energy, eat less, and it's normal to be thinner."

Zhang Zhou said in his heart: it's appropriate to use you to prove that 'Ginger is old and spicy', saying you don't have enough energy? Those merchants in the southern ten states will throw themselves into the lake. However, Zhang Zhou showed due respect and politeness to such influential predecessors.

"If you can stay in Kyoto for a few more days, Ben hou would like to invite you to have a few drinks!"

"The old man has been grateful and delighted to get the kindness of the marquis. First, there are many things. Second, when he is old and can't drink the cool Hezhou lie, he won't bother the Marquis much!"

"Well, it's only going to be a long time! I don't know if you want to ask me today. What can I do for you?"

"The doings are not to be done. I just want to ask for some cooperation with Hou Ye. I didn't know hou ye before, and I didn't know whether I could be seen by the Hou Ye. So I asked him to be a cheek and asked for a bridge." Hou ye must never misunderstand that old age is a way to suppress people, but they will not make any progress. " , more admiration! "

"Senior, in front of you, I can only be regarded as a newborn calf. I'm not afraid of tigers. I'm relieved if I don't make you feel childish and ridiculous. No matter what, as long as it conforms to everyone's interests, I have no reason to refuse!"

"Marquis, speak quickly, and the old man will be open!"

"Please tell me. I'm all ears!"

"Lord Hou also knows that Xinglong will start by mining, but most of the mining areas are in the three southern states. Transportation is very difficult and the cost is huge, which reduces a lot of profits!"

Zhang Zhou nodded. He didn't know what Jin Laoyou meant!

"I'm old enough. The miasma land in the three southern states is really not suitable for old-age care. I've saved some family funds over the years and intend to invest in the ten southern states to make a decent living. Although I have gained in Yingzhou, I also lost a lot. In addition, those rich families strongly reject it, so the development is not very smooth..."

Jin Laoyou seemed to realize that he was off the subject and hurriedly said, "I'm old and have a lot of words. I hope you don't blame me!"

Although the subject has not been mentioned, Zhang Zhou did not show any impatience and listened carefully.

"It doesn't hurt. You can listen to your predecessors. It's a harvest!"

"Thank you for your large number of things," said the old man. "I will not hide my truth. I have searched for a support for my brain, hoping for some support, but I am down on the luck and I am not sure."

Zhang Zhouming means that the princess is a woman after all. Even if her ability is good, her prospect is limited.

"I never expected to get on the prince's ship, but I really want to catch up with you and sincerely cooperate with Kyushu business. At the same time, I also hope to get the care of you in the future!"

"Senior, you think highly of me. No matter how great I am, I'm just a powerful marquis. I don't have that much ability!"

"The old man has been wandering the Jianghu for more than 40 years. There are still people's eyes!"

Zhang Zhou is funny. He has deep experience in the Jianghu. He must admit it, but it remains to be discussed in terms of people's vision. Otherwise, there will be no failure to invest in the former crown prince. But who can really never miss? At this point, there is really no need to ridicule anyone!

"If you want to know the prince, I can introduce you!"

Jin Laoyou quickly waved his hand and said, "the Marquis misunderstood. No matter how the interests come first, I won't ask the prince for incense. I can't be good at both sides. In addition, if I don't do it well, I will offend both sides, but I will cut off the way in the future. My purpose today is to establish a friendship with the Marquis!"

"Since you look up to me, how can I not extrapolate my friends? It's really not easy for us in business! We have to work hard everywhere and be careful! It's difficult!"

"The Marquis said very well..."

……

"According to the old man's exploration, there are rich mineral resources in Qinzhou, which have not been discovered and developed. If mining here, although there are high mountains and dense forests, the comprehensive cost is much lower than that of the three southern prefectures, and it is also convenient for me to stand in the ten southern prefectures!"

Qinzhou is squeezed by Wu and Ying. The middle reaches of the Qinjiang River flowing eastward and the lower reaches of the Qinjiang River suddenly turning south into the Lianhua Lake are surrounded by a circle. It is closer to the Lianhua Lake water system than Wuzhou, but it is one of the most barren places in the Tang Dynasty.

The reason is that the whole territory is high mountains, dangerous land, few people and extremely barren. At the beginning, refugees poured into the ten southern prefectures through Wuzhou, but few people ran to Qinzhou. Why? Is to enter Qinzhou and have a lower chance of living.

There is a saying in Qinzhou that "there are more than 3000 farmers on the top of the cloud peak, and it is difficult to see one farmer". Despite some exaggeration, it more or less explains the local situation. Chen Chaoying refers to Qinzhou where water transportation is restless and bandits are rampant. There is also a popular saying in officialdom: the coolest criminal law is Tu Nanjiang; The hardest thing for an official is Qin Liang! (Qinzhou is named after its founding heroes, but its main mountain range is called Daliang Mountain)

It must be that jinlao oil has a clear exploration of Qinzhou's mineral resources.

"Elder, I don't know what I can do for you? You know, I have no foundation in Qinzhou!"

"Hehe, it's normal that the Duke of Qinzhou has no time to pay attention to it, but Qinjiang water transportation is the Duke's Jiuzhou fleet, which has the most potential for development and will be stronger in the future. At that time, I can't transport any more mines without the Duke's water transportation help!"
