The sage of the king of Qi, the world praises it!

But in Tian Hao's eyes, the virtuous of this virtuous king is just to protect himself, the new emperor ascended the throne, the king of Qi was demoted, and the country of Qi was cut by the land, and the new emperor was forced by the virtuous king of the king, although he was demoted, the land that should have been cut was cut by half.

However, Fu Xian still entered the King of Qi even though he knew that King Qi was being suspicious of the new emperor, which made Tian Hao deeply admired.

Listening to Fu Xian talking about King Qi's goodness, Tian Hao couldn't help nodding cooperatively, and praised him casually, Fu Xian quickly saw the reason and shook his head at him slightly.

"I don't care much about the affairs of the imperial court," Tian Hao explained with a wry smile: "I heard that the imperial court intends to promote the reform of Yangzhou salt administration, Brother Bowen, what do you think of this?"

"It's a good thing for merchants, but, fundamentally speaking, this is just competing with the people for profit," Fu Xian said disappreciatively: "As far as I know, the imperial court implemented this policy in order to make up for the emptiness of the treasury and get military salaries for the imperial court.

Fu Xian scolded, Tian Hao was quite unimpressed, in his opinion, after the new monarch ascended the throne, the policies he implemented, except for sending troops to the fortress, were still unsatisfactory, so he said that the salt tax reform actually took the silver of the gate lord clan.

Bohai County also has salt fields, seventy percent in the hands of the gate lord clan, the imperial court can receive only three percent of the salt tax due, the Tian family in Bohai County has three salt fields, a total of 200 acres, the imperial court can not collect a penny of silver salt tax.

"Brother, you are too absolute, and the use of troops outside the Cyprus is a last resort," Tian Hao said: "I'm afraid the court doesn't want to, but there is no way, fortunately, it is not satisfactory." ”

"Absolutely?" Fu Xian shook his head and said with a face full of disbelief, Tian Hao suddenly thought to himself: "Brother, since you are the king of Qi, why did you come to Jizhou?"

Fu Xian was slightly stunned, lowered his head and picked up a glass of wine, Tian Hao smiled when he saw this: "Why can't I even believe my brother." ”

"It's not that I can't believe it, Brother Songtao is serious," Fu Xian reluctantly smiled: "Actually, this is also related to your Tian family." ”

"It has something to do with my Tian family?" Tian Hao looked at him with some surprise and some disbelief.

Fu Xian nodded, hesitated to look left and right, and saw that there were just the two of them in the room, so he lowered his voice and said, "I'm going to send a letter to the old ancestor of the Wang family." ”

"Send a letter to the ancestor of the Wang family? why?" Tian Hao was even more surprised.

Fu Xian nodded: "The ancestor of the Wang family is on the bar with the Hanhai Trading Company in the imperial capital. ”

"Why is it on the bar with Hanhai Trading Company?" Tian Hao was even more confused, and his voice couldn't help but be a little loud, Hanhai Trading Company, he heard that this merchant, the Tian family's business has also reached the imperial capital, and it has reached Youzhou, and the business name he presided over in Bohai County is mainly engaged in the business of Youzhou and Bohai Kingdom.

Although he had not done business with Hanhai Trading Company a few times, he knew the strong strength of Hanhai Trading Company, and Tian Hao was ready to join hands with Hanhai Trading Company to do wool business before he returned.

Wool was almost as cheap as grass stalks in this era, for the simple reason that it was too troublesome to make wool come out all day long, and there was a smell of wool, which was laborious and difficult to sell, so the wool now was either thrown away or made into low-grade wool felt for the poor people.

But Tian Hao found that Hanhai Trading Company was buying wool, and the woolen products made were not only beautiful, but also did not have the slightest peculiar smell, and they were very warm to wear in winter, and they immediately became high-end goods, and the profit was at least 100 times.

This discovery not only made Tian Hao tempted, but also made many people tempted, but Hanhai Trading Company was very tight, whether it was digging people or uniting, Hanhai Trading Company was unwavering, some people made up their minds in secret, but they didn't expect that all the people who shot out returned home, and the people sent out were either dead or disabled, and those people knew that Hanhai Trading Company was strong.

"Alas, it's all about the waterway of the Yellow River," Fu Xian said that in the past year, the competition between Wang Xu and Hanhai Trading Company in the imperial capital was roughly said, of course, he didn't know the specific details, and finally said: "The prince is also involved, the old ancestor of the Wang family asked the prince for help, and the prince sent a few guards from the palace to help, but unfortunately, the Hanhai trading company and the wind and rain building are unexpectedly strong." ”

Tian Hao is a little stupid, Wang Xu and the two families are one of the best millennium families in Jizhou, even the Tian family can't compare, plus the ancestor of the Wang family, this eloquent figure, the Wang family is even more prosperous, if it weren't for the sudden return of the ancestor of the Wang family, the Wang family will be even more prosperous.

The ancestors of the Wang family after Zhishi put all their spirit on the management of the Wang family, these years the Wang family has produced many talents, and the children have either come out or lectured, and the Wang family has not only not seen decline, but has become more prosperous.

"The old ancestor must compete with the Hanhai Trading Company for the Yellow River trade road?" Tian Hao wondered in his heart and raised a key question, the Wang family and the Tian family also have an in-law relationship, and Tian Hao is not wrong to call him the ancestor.

Fu Xian shook his head: "I am also very puzzled, I asked Derun Gong, but his old man just smiled and said nothing." ”

Tian Hao sighed bitterly in his heart, he knew that the Wang family and the Hanhai Trading Company were not in a good fight, and he would inevitably ask the Tian family for help, Tian Wen would never be able to refuse, and he would definitely send reinforcements, and the specific implementation was probably Tian Ning in the imperial capital.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, didn't Tian Ning die of illness? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder.

"This Hanhai Trading Company is so difficult?" Tian Hao still couldn't believe it, Fu Xian sighed deeply and nodded: "I don't know how to cultivate, but it is said that Liu Han, the owner of this Hanhai Trading Company, has a top-grade grandmaster cultivation." ”

Neither of them cultivated, but they also knew what the top-grade grandmaster meant, Tian Hao gasped, knowing that this was trouble, and he had provoked the top-grade grandmaster, unless Liu Han was killed, there would be endless troubles.

"This high-grade grandmaster went to open a trading company! Fu Xian smiled bitterly.

Top-grade grandmasters, rare animals on the rivers and lakes, not to mention top-grade, even if they are grandmasters, they are also the targets of major families and imperial courts, as well as the Jianghu sects, whether it is money or beauty, what do you want, there is no need to engage in any trading company at all.

The high-grade grandmaster went to business! What is this playing?!!!

Tian Hao also smiled bitterly, and sighed: "I don't understand it more and more, the white-clothed scholar Gu Wei, how famous he is, but now he is running to do some salt political innovation, if this can still be said to be serving the imperial court, this high-grade grandmaster ran to open a trading company, hehe, this world is ,....."

Saying that, Tian Hao couldn't help shaking his head, and Fu Xian also smiled bitterly, which broke through their understanding.

"I'd love to get to know this Liu Han, a top-grade grandmaster. Tian Hao said and looked at Fu Xian.

"I don't know either, but I still know some things," Fu Xian said: "He has only been in the imperial capital for three years, originally in the Western Regions, not long after he came, he opened a jewelry store, and now Hanhai jewelry store has been on a par with the time-honored Ming Yu Zhai, Shengsheng snatched half of the palace business from Ming Yu Zhai, and then opened a cotton cloth shop, a pharmacy, and now the popular high heels and cheongsam are made by him." ”

"Oh!" Tian Hao was stunned, these high heels and cheongsam were transmitted to Bohai County last year, and the women in his family also wore them, becoming more beautiful and moving, but he still shook his head incomprehensibly: "Grandmaster, get some women's ......"

Tian Hao couldn't help shaking his head, Fu Xian also smiled bitterly, sighed for a while, saw that the wine jar had bottomed out, and ordered another jar of wine, and the two of them talked while drinking.

"This Hanhai Trading Company is indeed very rich, but this Liu Han is very mysterious, acting unexpectedly and out of order," Fu Xianchang sighed: "But this guy is indeed difficult to deal with, but Derun Gong seems to be very sure." ”

"Top-grade Grandmaster, that's so easy to kill. Tian Hao shook his head to express disbelief, Fu Xian hesitated for a while, did not speak, but it could be seen that he was also skeptical.

"You went to Wei County this time, did the old ancestor have anything to say?" Tian Hao asked tentatively.

Fu Xian hesitated and didn't answer, Tian Hao frowned slightly, looked at him with some disbelief, and said with a wry smile: "Duke Derun has something to say, but I can only say this to the prince." ”

Tian Hao's mind flashed with inspiration: "Brother, what position do you have in the Qi Palace?"

"The people of the palace are mainly to draft letters for the prince. Speaking of this, Fu Xian's expression was slightly reserved, and Tian Hao smiled understandingly: "Congratulations, congratulations." ”

Fu Xian said it very simply, but Tian Hao knew that this work was enough to prove that he had become a confidant of King Qi.

Sheren is just a seven-grade petty official, according to the imperial court official system, a big country like Qi, there are nearly 100 subordinate officials in the palace, the most important minister, Changshi, Lang Zhongling, school captain, etc., and more than ten people, this Sheren is the most basic official in the palace, but it is also an official close to the King of Qi, especially the one responsible for drafting letters, which can only be the cronies of the King of Qi.

"What does the prince think about this?" Tian Hao asked again.

"This matter?" Fu Xian was slightly stunned, then understood, smiled and said: "The prince has no opinion, but Derun Gong feels that the origin of this Liu Han is unknown, Xiao Yu is the remnant of Zhaoyang, the demon demon, let these two people master the Cao Yun and the Yellow River waterway, it will be a great disaster for the country, the court indulges these rivers and lakes savages, we can't ignore it." ”

"The ancestors are in the rivers and lakes, and they do not forget the world, which is admirable. Tian Hao praised with a smile.

"Yes, Derun Gong is highly respected and knowledgeable, and my generation can only be admired. Fu Xian said.

As he was talking, the door on the opposite side opened, Fu Xian turned his head to look, just in time to see Liu Tie coming out, his expression couldn't help but be slightly stunned, Tian Hao said: "His surname is Ma, his name is Ma Tie, and he is a Jianghu man who came back from Youzhou." ”

"Oh, do you know him?" Fu Xian asked, Tian Hao shook his head: "I just met today, these Jianghu people in Youzhou are mostly outlaws, but in winter, the heavy snow outside the plug closes the road, and they mostly return to their hometowns, stay until next spring, and then return to Youzhou." ”

"Oh, I see. "Fu Xian has been to Youzhou during his travels, but he doesn't know much about the people in the rivers and lakes outside the Sai.

Liu Tie had long known that Tian Hao was here, and he didn't care, the Tian family was a participant in the battle of the imperial capital, and it could be said that he was an enemy, so he didn't want to deal with this guy.

Coming out of the room, he didn't stay in the courtyard, but went to the lobby, the lobby had quieted down, the guy and the shopkeeper were behind the counter, and when they saw him come out, they thought something was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, Liu Tie waved his hand and said that it was okay, but he felt bored and wanted to go out for a walk.

The guy was obviously mistaken, and hurriedly introduced him to the two green houses in the town, and at the same time braged about it.

Liu Tie didn't explain, smiled and opened the door and came out.

On the street, the cold wind gusted and there was no one.
