"My lord, Wu Haogu not only gave Wang Hou a good horse, but also sent him all the way back to the pavilion. This Wang Hou didn't come to visit Kaifeng Mansion when he arrived, and now he is still fighting with Wu Haogu, will it be ......?"

The intersection between Wu Haogu and Wang Hou really did not escape the eyes of Cai Jing's father and son. At the end of the day, Cai You reported the matter to his father in the study.

In fact, Wang Hou was able to recover at Cai Jing's suggestion - because Cai Jing noticed that Zhao Ji had the ambition to open up the territory, so he wanted to pinch the soft persimmon of Hehuang Tubo.

And if you want to move the river and Tubo, it is natural to use Wang Shao's son Wang Hou. He participated in the opening of the river twice, and he also stayed in the Western Army for many years.

In addition, although Wang Hou's father Wang Shao was very unlikable in his later years, he had to scare everyone and complain a lot, but he was always a cadre in the New Party camp.

Dad is a new party, so naturally the son should also be new!

Therefore, Cai Jing is now thinking about making great use of Wang Hou and supporting him to become a new generation of commanders of the Western Army.

But I didn't expect that Wang Hou didn't have his father's ability (referring to the Jinshi examination), but he inherited his father's bad temper, and he didn't know about flattery at all. When you enter Kaifeng Mansion, you don't go to Cai Jing's Mansion to meet and give gifts - it doesn't matter how many gifts you give, what matters is the attitude of gift-giving!

Attitude determines the camp!

What Cai Jing and his son didn't expect was that Wang Hou didn't come to Cai's mansion to give gifts, but accepted gifts from Wu Haogu. Who is Wu Haogu? Wu Haogu is a disciple of Su Dongpo, the leader of the old party, and his younger brother Wu Haowen is also the son-in-law of Han Zhongyan, another giant of the old party.

Wang Hou accepted the war horse presented by Wu Haogu, wouldn't he want to join the old party?

This is a traitor!

The New Party has become a traitor!

"But didn't Wu Haogu oppose the development of the river and the two states?" Cai Jing asked with a frown. Wu Haogu, Zhao Ji, Gao Yu, and Pan Xiao'an discussed in the roast pig courtyard were also heard and reported to him by Cai You.

"Yes, he's against it! He advocated opening up by sea and sending a few ships and thousands of people to occupy the island and enclose the land to build a port. ”

"Then how did he get together with Wang Hou?" Cai Jing's eyes widened, "Wang Hou is advocating the development of the two states. ”

"My lord, isn't that Wu Haogu a lucky villain! The villain naturally has to cater to the ...... of the favor"

Cai Jing was stunned for a while, always feeling that his son's words were not very good, and only after a while did he say, "What about Su Dongpo?" Su Dongpo has also become a villain? ”

Now that Han Zhongyan has become a prince of the three decrees, that is, there will be different opinions from Su Shi left.

"Of course Su Dongpo won't become a villain, but he will be deceived by the villain Wu Haogu!"

Cai Jing smacked his lips and shook his head: "...... Villains are always more difficult to deal with than gentlemen! ”

Cai You nodded: "Yes, my lord, now there are not only one villain around Su Dongpo, Wu Haogu, but also Pan Xiao'an, Gao Yu, Liang Shicheng ......."

"Why is there still Liang Shicheng?" Cai Jing asked, "Isn't he an internal official?" ”

"This Liang Shicheng's father and Su Dongpo have old friends, in the past, when Su Dongpo was far away, he once gave a maid to Liang's father, and later the maid was born in less than a month. Therefore, Liang Shicheng has always called himself Su Shi's son, and Su Dongpo did not deny it, so he ......"

"There is such a thing......" Cai Jing shook his head again and again, not knowing what to say.

"My lord, do you want to find a copy of the imperial history?"

"Ginseng?"

"Shen Su Dongpo colluded with the ......internal servants," Cai You said, "This is a taboo for civil officials." ”

Cai Jing sneered: "If it is the Divine Sect Dynasty, maybe it can bring down Su Dongpo because of this." But today's official family is a reasonable man...... Su Dongpo gave a concubine because of his distance, so that Liang Shicheng was young and helpless, so he entered the palace purely, can Su Dongpo or Liang Shicheng be blamed for this? ”

"My lord, so let's leave it at that?"

"Forget it?" Cai Jing sneered, "There is not only one Wang Hou in the hands of my father!" He paused, "And this Wang Hou is a martial artist after all, can he still be a four-way scripture?" ”

Cai You asked, "Who does Daddy want to use?" ”

Cai Jing said: "Use Tao Zili!" Didn't he go to Beijing on business? Go to him and ask him to offer him a plan to take the thief from the west. ”

"Whoa!"

Cai Jing's "Tao Zili" is named Tao Jiefu, who is the current deputy envoy of Shaanxi Province, and this person was a member of Zhang Ji's staff earlier, and he has a lot of plans, and he is a relatively proficient military officer in the northwest.

Seeing that his son turned around and was about to leave, Cai Jing stopped him again, "How is the public opinion in Kaifeng Shilin today?" ”

Cai You turned around and said to his father: "It's still very troublesome, "Wenqu Xing", "Shilin", "Neo-Confucianism" and other newspapers are all talking about 'civil and military importance' and 'industrial and commercial nobility'. ”

In addition to complaining in private, they also submitted articles to the three major newspapers of Kaifeng Prefecture, "Wenqu Xing", "Shilin" and "Neo-Confucianism", calling on the Holy Emperor Zhao Ji to change his mind.

The discussion of "industrial and commercial nobility and cheapness" was caused by Zeng Bu and Jian Xuchen's proposal to set up Jingdong City Bosi and Jingdong Commercial Market. This matter originally had nothing to do with "industrial and commercial sluts" or anything, but somehow it was done, and the Jiehe Commercial Market, which was allegedly controlled by businessmen, was brought out and compared with the Jingdong Commercial Market led by scholars......

Cai Jing laughed: "The matter of 'industrial and commercial nobility' will be slowed down first, and the matter of 'civil and military importance' will be discussed more." ”

"Got it."

It's late at night.

The night without moonlight is particularly gloomy and depressing. However, the Kaifeng Mansion on the ground is still immersed in the joy and excitement of the approaching New Year.

Fan Zhijin, who had changed his name to Fan Jin, put down the brush in his hand and began to examine the eloquent essay he had written in his own hand—a masterpiece criticizing the short-sightedness and mercenary nature of businessmen, which was to be submitted to the Shilin and Neo-Confucianism.

Now there is a political force behind the three largest newspapers in Kaifeng Prefecture! Among them, "Wenqu Xing" is, of course, the mouthpiece of the holy monarch Zhao Ji and the villain Wu Haogu.

And "Shilin" was opened by Fan Chunren's two sons who were filial piety in Luoyang Fan Yuan - of course, the money for the newspaper was not from them, but "led" by the family's Poly Bank, and Fan Zhijin's owner Pang Kuan also invested 5,000 yuan in it.

As for "Neo-Confucianism", it was set up in Haizhou, and its founder was "Lu Xiucai", and its main views were all from the New Party and the New Studies.

However, the old party's "Shilin" and the new party's "Neo-Confucianism" are not completely opposite in terms of viewpoints, for example, they are completely identical on the two major issues of "the importance of civil and military affairs" and "the noble and lowly of industry and commerce......

Of course, the text is heavier than the martial arts! And the business ...... Cheap, of course!

Fan Zhijin's writing is actually very good, if this gushing article is read by Wu Haogu, most of them will feel that their business is really lowly to the extreme, and they have no face to see......

"Master Fan, my lord is invited."

Fan Zhijin had just checked for a typo, and a servant boy came outside the door to spread Pang Kuan's words.

"Here it is."

Fan Zhijin answered, put away the pen and paper, went out of his room, and followed the little servant who came to pass the word to the bedroom of Pang Kuan's huge official.

Pang Kuan is a hero who can be a hero of Zhao Ji's official family, and Zhao Ji's official family treats people well, and he has no intention of unloading the mill and killing the donkey, but continues to let Pang Kuan be known to the inner Nei Province, that is, the eunuch commonly known as the chief eunuch of the Great Interior.

The bedroom of a great eunuch of this level was naturally magnificent, and when Fan Zhijin arrived, the best incense had already burned enough in the four-cornered stove, and a strange fragrance lingered in the room. There is also a dragon heating in the house, and the big bedroom only feels warm as if it is spring.

Bypassing a coral screen, I saw a fat and bloated old man, leaning on the couch, and two beautiful maids kneeling beside the old man, massaging the old man's thick legs with their slender hands.

Seeing Fan Zhijin walk in and salute solemnly, Pang Kuan just smiled faintly: "Master Fan, the white ground on the edge of Yinan Bridge will be listed for sale in Poly Bank next month...... How much money can be taken, have you calculated it? ”

Yinan Bridge is in the southwest corner of Kaifeng City, which is a relatively remote place in Kaifeng City. There is a white plot there, which is not too big, and was originally rented to merchants as a stockyard. Recently, the lease expired, and the Taifu Temple and the shop wanted to sell the land for cash and use it to build Qionglin Palace for the official family.

And Fan Zhijin has been writing articles criticizing the real estate business of the Republic Bank, and he also used his spare time to study the real estate industry in Kaifeng Prefecture. Therefore, I feel that the real estate project next to the Yinan Bridge is very profitable...... So I suggested that my owner Pang Kuan invested.

Pang Kuan is also salivating over the huge profits made by the Republic Bank in the real estate industry, and has long wanted to get a piece of the pie. So he immediately agreed to Fan Zhijin's suggestion, and let this Fan Fuzi take full control.

In fact, there is nothing difficult about it, Fan Zhijin is Pang Kuan's person! He took Pang Kuan's business card and directly found Zhu Mian, who was in charge of half of the "Dutingyi" housing project, and asked him to design and budget.

"It's already settled." Fan Zhijin said, "As long as the land price does not exceed 500,000 yuan, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money." ”

"500,000 ......," Pang Kuan muttered, "Our family has a sum of spare money to invest, Fan Fuzi, is it difficult to do this real estate business?" ”

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult." Fan Zhijin said with a smile, "This is a good thing to do, which is to spend money to buy land...... As soon as the land is in hand, the project of building a house can be contracted out, so we can just stare at it a little. And it is easy to sell real estate, you don't have to wait for the house to be built, you can start selling, and there is no house in Kaifeng Mansion that cannot be sold. ”

Pang Kuan nodded: "Master Fan, there is no one around our family who knows how to do business...... You won't take the imperial examination now anyway, so I might as well leave it to you. All right? ”

It's not that Fan Zhijin didn't take the test, but he didn't take the Kaifeng Mansion's Liberation Test......

"Alright, alright!" Fan Zhijin said, "Just leave it to your subordinates." ”
